City council listens to citizens concerns,
complaints about soil erosion and run-off
GLENWOOD CITY — The
common council of Glenwood
City found itself in the midst of
a muddy mess during its regular monthly meeting held Monday, October 13 in the municipal
building.
A pair of frustrated residents
and property owners appeared
before the council during the public comments portion of the meeting to address an ongoing problem with soil erosion and run-off
on to their properties from an adjoining property on the north side
of the city.
At issue, is the heavy soil erosion and the subsequent run-off
from a field east of Third Street
(County Road X) following rain
storms that is sending water and
mud into neighboring properties
between E. Walnut Street and
the top of the hill.
Roger Lindelof and Cindy
Thompson attended Monday evening’s meeting to voice their concerns and frustrations with the
continuing problem and cleanup
they face due to the excessive soil
run-off on to their properties the
past several years.
Lindelof addressed the board,
reading from a statement he had
prepared for the meeting.
“I and several of my neighbors
have an ongoing problem with
field run-off, “ he began. “For the
past six years or so, we have had
to deal with large amounts of silt
and mud washing down from the
field on the north and east sides
of my house (located at 725 third
Street), and at times into our
basements.”
Lindelof said that the field in
question had been used for hay
and alfalfa which held the soil
but recently corn has been planted causing the soil to continually
wash down hill during rains.
“This summer it has been especially bad due to the frequent
heavy downpours of rain,” continued Lindelof . “Not only are our
homes affected, but the gush of
water from the fields has washed
great quantities of mud and gravel from the ditch in front of my
house into the city’s storm sewer.”
Lindelof told the council that
he has spoken several times with
both the landowner and the farmers renting the land about the issue with no relief or progress towards a solution.
“There has been no effort by
either (land owner or renters) to
correct the problem,” an exasperated Lindelof told the council.
Lindelof did say that a no till
method was used prior to the
planting of corn this year but
that it had little to no effect.
He continued by telling council
members that corn was planted
right to the property line leaving no grass buffer zone and that
proper soil conservation methods
have not been adhered to.
“On half the hillside above my
house, the corn rows ran up and
down rather than across the hillside enabling the water, silt and
mud to run freely down into my
yard,” Lindelof stated.
There used to be green (grass)
waterways where the water
would drain from the field said
Lindelof but those have been
plowed under creating deep gullies.
He has taken to building
wooden barriers along the shared
property lines to hold back the
mud but Lindelof stated that the
barriers have eventually filled up
and are now overflowing every
time there is a heavy downpour.
He shared pictures of the
structures he had built with the
council. Each showed soil overflowing the wooden barriers.
Lindelof stated that last year
alone, he, his son and a nephew
had to remove dozens of wheel
barrow loads of mud and silt out
of the yard and this year is no different.
Lindelof also relayed the issues other properties owners are
enduring saying that the renters in one of Cindy Thompson’s
properties can not use the basement shower because the water
and mud have flowed into it. He
also noted that a shed on the Carolynn Tuttle property just east of
the Thompson rental has had a
shed dislodged and moved by the
flow of mud.
Thompson, who has a pair of
rental properties on the east
TOWN OF HOWARD — State
Department of Natural Resources
officials are still considering
whether they can take any
enforcement action for frac sand
pollution in 18 Mile Creek from
the EOG Resources mine in Cooks
Valley.
Deb Dix, the DNR’s state-wide
liaison for frac sand mining, spoke
at the Howard Town Hall October
7 about 18 Mile Creek and other
issues associated with frac sand
mining.
About 50 people attended the
meeting.
“I cannot be specific until we
hear all the details (about 18 Mile
Creek).
We won’t know the enforcement
until we get there,” Dix said.
Mark Berge, a Town of Cooks
Valley resident who lives near the
EOG Resources DS mine, bristled.
“Why don’t I get to know? They
have been discharging onto my
property all summer long,” Berge
said.
DNR officials were planning
to meet with representatives for
EOG Resources the next day, and
it would be the first of several
meetings, Dix said.
Berge invited Dix and anyone
else from the DNR to walk his
property “to see the mess.”
A rainstorm the evening of
September 3 dumped between
two and three inches of rain on
the area in a short period of time.
By September 5, colloidal clay
runoff from the DS mine had
traveled about six miles cross
country, much of it through marsh,
and had turned 18 Mile Creek
through Colfax a thick-looking
caramel color.
The water in 18 Mile Creek
remained caramel colored for more
than a week.
After the fine clay particles
become suspended in the water,
they tend to stay in suspension.
Berge was the first person to
contact the Colfax Messenger
about the colloidal clay runoff from
the DS mine.
Runoff from the mine is
intended to collect in a holding
pond that allows the rain water
to infiltrate before the next rain
event.
Permits
The stormwater permit that
is available for the DNR to issue
for sand mines was intended for
small sand and gravel operations,
Dix said.

Resolution for $15 million care facility
in St. Croix County is approved
By Kelsie Hoitomt
HUDSON — Last Tuesday,
the St. Croix County Board of
Supervisors approved a resolution
that will authorize the County
Administrator to enter into
contract negotiations and finalize
a contract with “Horty Elving” for
Architectural and Engineering
services.
This will be to design a Skilled
Nursing Facility, a Dementia/
Mental Health Crisis Unit and
to remodel the existing Skilled
Nursing Facility into a Community
Based Residential Facility with a
maximum project budget of $15
million.
Following the opening
statement, there was a motion
by District 4 Supervisor, Howard
Novotny to approve the resolution
and a second by District 18
Supervisor, Shaela Leibfried.
However, the resolution on
paper appeared to be rather
simple, but the discussion that
followed the motion was anything
but.
The Board members went into
discussion for 50 minutes in
regards to the actual cost to
approve because in their packet
the amount was between $15 and
$29 million, but on the agenda the
figure was a flat $15 mill.
Due to the fact that the money
being spent on the project is tax
payer dollars, a more concrete
figure was wanted by a few Board
members.
District 17 Supervisor, Judy
Achterhof was the first to mention
the difference in amounts printed
and she asked that someone

By Kelsie Hoitomt
BALDWIN — On Thursday, October 9 at 5:46
p.m. the St. Croix County Sheriff ’s Office responded
to a report that a hunter had located a human skull
in the woods near the 2200 block of 70th Ave in the
Baldwin Township. Upon arrival the deputies were shown to a wooded
area and they located a skull and human remains,
just south of the Union Pacific railroad tracks.
According to a news article by WQOW News 18,
the sheriff ’s office indicated “that an autopsy has
positively identified the person as a Baldwin man
who went missing in July. It was also determined
he had committed suicide by hanging.”
The St. Croix County Sheriff ’s Office was assisted

Baldwin Area Fire Department, the St. Croix County
Highway Department and the St. Croix County
Medical Examiner’s Office.
The case remains under investigation by the St.
Croix County Sheriff ’s Office.
Man arrested for fatal accident near Elk Mound
By LeAnn R. Ralph
ELK MOUND — A 21-year-old
Cadott man has been arrested
on two counts of homicide by the
intoxicated use of a motor vehicle
and operating a vehicle while
intoxicated following an accident
on I-94 near Elk Mound early
Saturday morning.
Michael D. Sonnentag was
arrested as the suspect who caused
the accident that killed two people
and injured six others when he
was found walking along Stokke
Parkway in Menomonie later
Saturday morning at 6:45 a.m.
According to a news release
from the Wisconsin State Patrol,
Dunn County and the state patrol
began receiving phone calls around
2:40 a.m. reporting a two-vehicle
crash on westbound I-94 near mile
marker 55 and that one of the
vehicles had left the scene.
Law enforcement officials
discovered that the vehicle
remaining at the scene of the
accident, which turned out to
be a van, had left the roadway,
overturned and was situated in
the tree line along the north ditch.
Two passengers were prounded
dead at the scene, and six other
passengers were transported to
hospitals in Eau Claire with nonlife-threatening injuries.
The two people who were killed
were not wearing seatbelts and
were thrown from the vehicle, but
all of those who were injured were
wearing seatbelts, according to the
news release.
State troopers on the scene
found a black hood that had been
ripped from the vehicle that left
the scene and determined the hood
was from a 1990s Toyota.
According to the state patrol
news release, at around 4 p.m.,
Dunn County deputies found a
black 1995 Toyota Camry with a
heavy front end damage parked
on a dead-end town road near
the intersection of U.S. Highway
12/state Highway 29 and county
Highway B. There was no one in
or near the vehicle.
According to a news release
from the Dunn County Sheriff ’s
Department, Dunn County
deputies, with the assistance of
Dunn County’s K-9 unit and a
K-9 unit from St. Croix County,
as well as officers from the
Menomonie Police Department,
began searching for the suspect.
Officers also checked buildings
in the area and large fields.
At around 6 a.m., a Code Red
message was sent out to telephones
within a two-mile radius of the
suspect vehicle’s location.
Dunn County deputies located
the owner and driver of the vehicle
at around 6:45 a.m. when he was
walking along Stokke Parkway
not far from the Dunn County
Highway Department.
According to the news release
from the sheriff ’s department,
Sonnentag said he was alone
in the vehicle at the time of the
accident.
Sonnentag was arrested and
taken to the Dunn County jail. He
appeared in Dunn County Circuit
Court on Monday, October 13, for
a bail hearing.
All of the people in the van
were from out of state. The two
people who died were a 28-yearold woman, Larci Ricafrente from
Waterford, Mich., and another
28-year-old woman, Djamella
Sugatan from the Philippines.
Those who were injured included
Alvin D. Dimaranan, a 33-year-old
man from Schiller Park, Illinois;
Leah Lim Ricafrente, a 32-yearold woman from Schiller Park;
Luisito L. Ricafrente, a 24-yearold man from Schiller Park; Lison
R. Dimaranan, a 7-year-old girl
from Schiller Park; Jovita Dela
Cruz Alegre, a 55-year-old woman
from Skokie, Illinois; and Anthan
V. Dimaranan, a 5-year-old boy
from Schiller Park.

Glenwood City Community Task
Force speaks at Board Meeting
THESE SMILING FACES put in countless hours organzing the fourth annual Dakota Lain Walk
to Stop Child Abuse. This year the event was held at the Wakanda Park in Menomonie on Saturday,
October 4. Despite the chilly morning, the walk went off without a hitch and they were able to raise
over $7,500 for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. —photo by Kelsie Hoitomt
County Board
Continued from page 1
explain considering $15 to $29 mill
is a significant difference.
County Administrator, Patrick
Thompson stated that there has
to be a starting point in terms of
a figure and the $15 mill is at the
low end of the estimation.
He went on to say that the $15
mill does not commit the Board
to that dollar figure as further
rigorous planning is to be done
and better estimates will be given.
“In early 2015 there will be a
bonding resolution and estimates
for the project will be locked in,
but we feel as a staff and sub
committee (Administration and
Health and Human Services) that
the $15 million dollar estimate
is a good starting point,” said
Thompson
District 6 Supervisor, Stephen
Nielson spoke up in continuation
of Achterhof ’s statement and said
that he felt the document was
confusing and poorly worded.
Nielson stated that he was
only given one document and did
not see the Facility Analysis and
he wanted to see the Forecasted
Scheduled, who did it and when it
was done as well as the forecasted
occupancy rates for both intensive
care, immediate care and dementia
care.
With all of that said, Nielson
asked to see the resolution tabled
until the November 7 meeting.
In reference, the Facility
Analysis stated that “based on
current Forecasted Schedule, the
Net Income Available for debt
service payment is $496,400 per
year with no levy support. This
buys you $7.385 million bonding.
The above assumption of $450,000
was used instead of the $496,400
to create a buffer for the debt.”
Interim Administrator
for the Nursing Home, Sandy
Hackenmueller addressed the
question by stating that the
forecasted occupancy rate is
roughly 47 in the Skilled Facility
and 36 in the Assisted Living.
As far as in the Dementia Care
Unit, there is currently no number
due to the entire concept being
so new.
This would be the first unit of
its kind in the state so further
information is still be gathered by
the Health and Human Services
Department.
Thompson furthered reassured
the Board that this was not the
final discussion and more numbers
and more concrete estimates will
be brought in front of them.
District 1 Supervisor, Travis
Schachtner spoke up in favor of
passing the resolution. He stated
that there are three community
members and six Board members
that will be overseeing the project
on a committee and trust needs to
be placed on them.
“There are safeties built into
this resolution,” said Schachtner.
Eventually a vote was brought
to the table and the outcome was
14 yes’s and 2 no’s from Nielson
and District 14 Supervisor, Andy
Brinkman.
Absent from the meeting and
the vote Chris Kilber, Ron Kiesler
and Paulette Anderson.

GLENWOOD CITY — Present
at the Board of Education meeting
for the first time as a group were
the members of the Community
Task Force; Trynette Gross, Chase
Rasmussen, Dean Fayerweather,
Tom Klatt, Ed Gabbert, Chad Lee,
Todd Petersen and Beth Davis.
Over the course of a few months
now, the District has sent out
letters to parents in the district,
inviting them to take a tour of
the building’s structure inside
and out.
This task force was asked to
take a good look at the school and
categorize what areas needed
attention the most.
All together over 20 people
were present at the Task Force
meetings, but on Monday the
eight presented the Board with
a completed survey/prioritization
list.
The number one concern was
safety for the students and staff
inside the school. Safety went
hand in hand with the number
one item on the survey, relocation
of offices.
This was the number one
priority along with the repair/
upgrade to the HVAC system
(heating, ventilation and air
conditioning).
This list of upgrades to focus
on continued with a technology
server and networking, the roof,
fire alarm, technology in every
classroom, the softball field,
elementary traffic flow, batting
cages for the new shed, etc.

In October, America celebrates the harvest, and
specifically initiatives to put healthy, locally grown
food on our childrens’ plates at school. And it all starts
with America’s farmers and ranchers.
Many of us who raise our own food, whether in a
pot or a small garden, do so as a hobby. If there’s too
much heat, not enough rain or too many pests, we are
disappointed and frustrated but the love of growing
fresh, nutritious foods pulls us through tough times.
I know two young women who started a small
vegetable farm. They have off-farm jobs as do many
farmers and ranchers in rural America. While they
are fortunate to have jobs they enjoy, their true

Come celebrate
Durand to Glenwood in 1923 when
she was just 4 years old. After
graduating from high school in
1937 she pursued her dream and
became a nurse. After the bombing
of Pearl Harbor and a great need
for doctors and nurses to serve
in the military, Ellen enlisted in
the Army Nurse’s Corps. She was
always known as the girl with
the golden voice and a girl who
loved to dance. Ellen used her
musical skills during the worst
of times to boost the morale for
her patients and the medical
staff while serving with the 56th
Evacuation Hospital, in Africa
and Italy. The 56th moved with
and administered the first medical
care that saved the lives of many
wounded soldiers fighting on the
front lines. In the fall of 1943, Bob
Hope and Company performed
for the staff and the wounded at
Ellen’s 56th Hospital in North
Africa.
She was born a natural leader
who loved adventure and lived her
life to the fullest. This is her story,
a story about an extraordinary
woman’s courage, heroism and
personal sacrifice. This program
will be given to honor 2nd Lt. Ellen
G. Ainsworth, of the U.S. Army
Nurses Corps.
Historical Society Board
Member Sally Berkholder has
worked long and hard putting
together this fun event that even
Ellen would have liked to attend.

have more break periods, but
shorter ones and maybe that
could eliminate some of those
fluctuations (in the data).”
That topic was held off to
a further time, but it was still
acknowledged by the Board that
something does need to be done
to keep those assessments more
level throughout the course of
time from the spring to the fall.
In High School/Middle School
Principal Patrick Gretzlock’s
report, he shared that there
are two new organizations that
have been started this year; the
National History Club and the
Academic Decathlon.
They are both in a trial stage
right now with no funding to
them, but attendance wise there
are over 20 students participating
in both. The Academic Decathlon
will be doing some competitions
as well.
And lastly, Superintendent Tim
Johnson spoke to the Board. He
shared that the Equalized Value
is in and it shows a decrease as
a resident district of .5 percent,
which is just over $1 million
dollars in terms of a money figure.
Wednesday, October 15 is when
the final numbers will be ready
so those figures will be available
at the next meeting in terms of
the levy.
Johnson did state that the
budget is currently balanced.
Items approved included
the hiring of Jenny Stoiber
as a substitute support staff/
paraprofessional aide and Nicole
Johnson as a substitute teacher.

Glenwood City’s 2nd Lt. Ellen
G. Ainsworth is Wisconsin’s most
honored WWII woman. Ellen’s life,
like so many other Americans her
age became involved in a terrible
war following the bombing of Pearl
Harbor. Please join us to hear
Ellen’s story of how she has been
and still is being honored for her
courage, heroism, and personal
sacrifice.
Ellen’s family moved from
(offices and HVAC) have a very
rough estimate of around $3
million to complete.
The Task Force mentioned a
referendum in order to help fund
such items on their list.
The Task Force did agree
collectively with the idea of a
referendum and they encouraged
the Board to be active in
participating with each other so
the community would support
the idea.
Petersen and Fayerweather
both agreed that it would make
a big difference if the community
heard from not just the Board, but
the Task Force of parents.
Those in the District have been
encouraged to take a tour of the
school and see for themselves
exactly what needs to be done and
where money needs to be spent.
The Task Force has in a sense
completed their portion of the job
for right now. The list of priorities
now is in the hands of the Board
and they will decide how to move
forward.
In other reports, Elementary
Principal Betsy Haltinner shared
the fall assessments and data with
the Board.
The data showed that a
number of students were at a high
level in the spring, but once school
resumed in the fall, the data had
dropped due to the summer break.
“What prohibits us from having

Board President Charles
Rasmussen. “Summer school

passion is growing and providing food. They want
children to eat tasty squash, peppers, and carrots.
And they want kids to know where their food comes
from.
They toil in 100 degree heat. They stoop to pull
weeds. They invest in their farm with seasonextending hoop houses to provide a few more months
of fresh vegetables. It’s hard work, but they think
it’s worth it if just one more child can experience the
taste of a fresh green bean or learn that asparagus
tastes pretty darned good.

WILSON — A Program
featuring Anita Dittman will be
held at Christ the King Lutheran
of Wilson on Sunday afternoon,
October 19th at 3:00 p.m. Anita
Dittman was just a little girl when
the winds of Hitler and Nazism
began to blow through Germany.
By the time she was twelve, the
war had begun.
Abandoned by her father
when he realized the price of
being associated with a Jewish
wife and family, Anita and her
mother were ultimately left to
fend for themselves toiling long
hours at a forced labor factory.
Their apartment was under the
surveillance of the Gestapo, and
Don & Patty Larson
welcome you to the
Shady Rest
every week they saw neighbors
dragged away to concentration
camps. Anita’s teenage years
were spent desperately fighting
for survival, but amid the despair,
Anita and her mother knew the
hope and peace of the Jewish
Messiah-Jesus Christ Himselfwho had come to live in their
hearts. Anita’s strong faith bore
fruit even after she and her mother
were separated, each to endure
rigorous work camp nightmares.
Her love and concern touched
everyone she met, enabling her
to bless those who persecuted her.
The public is cordially invited to
attend this presentation. A time of
fellowship and snacks will follow
from about 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Christ
the King Lutheran is located 2
miles south of I-94 on Wisconsin
State Highway 128 at 30th Ave.
For more information call the
church office at (715) 772-4464.

OFF THE EDITOR'S DESK
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
October 9, 2014
Greetings All,
This letter is to bring attention
to National Friends of Libraries
Week, October 19 to 25, 2014 and
our newly established Friends of
the Glenwood City Library, Inc.
The Friends had their first
book sale during Rustic Lore
Days and would like to salute
the volunteers and community
for their support. The sale was a
success and well received. We have
hopes to continue book sales on a
regular basis and are exploring
other fundraising avenues for the
library, the scope of which will
depend on the strength of the
Friends group and community
support.
Meetings are held at the library
the first Monday of the month
at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to
the meetings. We hope to create
a strong and effective Friends
group. The goal is to provide
additional support to the library.
In light of dire library financial
situations these groups provide
vital assistance so libraries can
meet and enhance literacy and
programming goals. The GC
Friends group as an Incorporation
will be able to access resources for
the library that were previously
unattainable.
Our group is always looking for
more members and volunteers.
There will be opportunities and
varied ways to provide support to
the library, and to the community
as well. No commitment or service
is too small. It is rewarding and
brings us all together. Interested
persons may contact Julian
Bender, the President of Friends,
or the library directly.
Remember, this library is
your library and it can be your
happening place. You can get great
assistance from the super savvy
staff, attend Tech Time classes,
enjoy summer reading programs,
download free music and books,
browse a great movie selection,
use the WIFI and computers, fax
and so much more. It is my happy
place. I hope to see you there.
Paula Brandt,
Friends of the Glenwood
City Library, Inc.

Fire Safety for Kids initiative being
offered once again at GC elementary
The Glenwood City Fire
Department is once again giving
the Second Grade students the
opportunity to participate in an
educational fire safety initiative
designed to prevent fire-related
injuries and fatalities. This will be
the Second Year the Glenwood City
Fire Department has committed
to bringing safety resources to
area kids.
Glenwood City Fire Chief Greg
Holden will be presenting each
student with a copy of the 112
page handbook Fire Safety: Smart
choices for LIFE. This valuable
resource is widely used to educate
children and families in all aspects
of fire safety and is produced by
Community Safety Net whose
mission is “Protecting kids for
LIFE”.
The handbook features
information on how to avoid fire,
plan an escape route from your
home and what to do if fire breaks
out. It offers health and first aid
information, along with important
safety tips for parents, teachers,
and babysitters. Included with
the handbook is an award-winning
educational DVD that features a
teenage host and an interactive
quiz. It connects to the Community
Safety Net website, where kids
can enter online contests and win
great prizes!
The kids received this resource
through the generous support of
local businesses and organizations.
House fires are the third
leading cause of death among
children — mostly as a result of
smoke inhalation. Sadly, kids start
30% of these fires. Such sobering
statistics illustrate the need for
fire safety education among young
people.
Glenwood City Fire Department
would like to acknowledge the
local businesses for their generous
donations and allowing us to
deliver these valuable resources
to the Second Grade Students for
the second year.
Community Safety Net is
a family-run, values-oriented
organization that produces a series
of educational safety resources
created especially for kids. CSN
prides itself in setting industry
standard for child safety education
across North America.
Over the past year or so, I have been inundated with negative
material about the ills of the Affordable Health Care Act, called Obama
Care. Recently I got a list of items that could, or will affect my family
and me, as we get older.
I tried to find out if any of those things on the list were true and
looking at the internet to find an answer was almost impossible. There is
so much about the law that I can’t tell what is the truth or what is false.
I do know that Nancy Pelosi, with Harry Reid at her side didn’t want
us to know what was in the law until it was passed. “We have to pass
the bill so that we can see what’s in it,” she stated.
Another thing I know is members of Congress are exempt from the
law, just like they are from Social Security. They have their own, wellfunded, plan. Funded with taxpayers money.
A couple of items on the scare list included something bad is going to
happen with your cancer care after you reach age 76 and the government
will have real-time access to your bank account. But just a note, the
government already has access to your accounts. Just do not pay your
taxes, and see how fast the government raids your bank account.
Recently a Judge White of Oklahoma ruled that the IRS rule
governing the state health exchanges was not in accordance with law.
According to Robert Romano, the senior editor of Americans for
Limited Government, “At issue is that the health care law only ever
authorized subsidies to private insurers be paid through the state
exchanges, not the federal ones. By not setting up state exchanges as
36 states have not done (Wisconsin included), a key aspect of the law­
some $800 billion a year of subsidies — may be implemented is very
much in question.”
Now, where is the $800 billion annually going to come from? The
bill is loaded with fees, fines, forfeitures, high premiums and taxes
to support the spending. I am told that taxes under this bill can’t be
called taxes!
The goose that lays the golden egg died a long time ago, and how can
we as a nation pay this high cost when we are already nearly eighteen
trillion in debt. At the rate the Obama Administration is spending
money, that figure will reach $20 trillion by the time he leaves office.
What does that amount look like on paper? Take $18 and add a dozen
zeros. And by the way, that last word is what I think we have leading
our country.
Thanks for reading!— Carlton

Boyceville five-year planning committee
makes scant progress on new firestation
By LeAnn R. Ralph
BOYCEVILLE — The
Boyceville Fire District’s five-year
planning committee was unable to
make much progress on assessing
sites for a new fire station at their
October 8 meeting.
A representative for Five Bugles
Design failed to attend the meeting,
leaving committee members with
very little information to review.
After committee members had
waited for about ten minutes,
Brian Marlette, Boyceville fire
chief, made a telephone call and
then reported that the Five Bugles
representative “forgot to put the
meeting on the schedule.”
Five Bugles Design is the
company that has been hired
to assess the needs of the fire
department and to produce a
preliminary design for a new fire
station in Boyceville.
Five Bugles has developed
options for how a 90-foot by 140foot fire station could fit on several
different sites, Marlette said.
“We can’t pick this apart until
we see a print,” said Rich Monn,
chair of the Town of Staton and
chair of the fire district’s five-year
planning committee.
Two potential sites for a fire
station have been identified on
the north side of Boyceville on
Nordveien Drive in the vicinity
of Tiffany Creek Elementary and
on the south side of Boyceville on
state Highway 79 next to the BP
gas station.
The area from BP east to the
pulling track is owned by the
village, noted Don Rose, director
of public works.
Monn said he did not believe the
site on Nordveien was appropriate
for a fire station because it is a
quiet residential area.
Rose pointed out that there are
houses near the site on Highway
79, too, although when the houses
were built, homeowners were
required to get special permission
to build there because the area is
zoned commercial.
Monn wondered if the height
of the proposed hose-drying tower
would be a problem since the
airport is so close to the site next
to BP.
The tower would be used for
drying fire hoses but also could
be used for training exercises for
firefighters.
“The drying tower would be
great, but if it’s a deal breaker,
then we’ll get around it,” Marlette
said.
“We really cannot do anything
until they come with the design of
the building imposed on the sites,”
Monn said.
The five-year planning
committee agreed to meet after
the Boyceville Fire District and
the Boyceville Ambulance District
meetings on October 15.
Marlette called the Five Bugles
representative to make sure he
could attend the October 15
meeting.
Marlette said he had been
assured that the October 15
meeting had been put on the Five
Bugles schedule.

City Council

corners of Third and E. Walnut
Street, told the council the mud
on her properties have been up to
eight inches or more in depth.
“We have been dealing with
this problem for a number of
years,” Lindelof explained. “Not
only is this a nuisance to clean
up, but it devalues our properties.”
“The landowner and farmers renting the land assume no
responsibility for the damage
and display an attitude of indifference,” added Lindelof. “They
seem to care less and the problem
plagues us year after year.”
“I am at the end of my rope
because I have talked to these
people and they have done nothing about this!” stated Lindelof.
“Some way they have to be held
responsible for this.”
Glenwood City’s Director of
Public Works Doug Doornink,
when questioned by council members, stated that soil is still washing into the city’s storm sewers in
that area.
“Last year we had mud all
the way down to Cenex (on First
Street),” Doornink said.
The council was unsure if the
city ordinance could address the
issue.
“I am not sure this is a civil
issue or city issue,” said Mayor
John Larson.
Prompting Lindelof to say, “I
have heard that it is between me
and the landowner and I am sick
of it.”
Councilperson Ken Peterson
also was unsure if the city could
step in.
“If it was in the city sewer then
we could enforce it but I’m not
certain we can step in (between
property owners). I do, however,
agree that the landowners should
be responsible to keep the dirt
within their property boundaries.”
Lindelof and the council discussed the issue for several more
minutes finally prompting Lindelof to ask if there could be a new
ordinance made.
After further debate, Mayor
Larson told Lindelof that there is
“No question, what is happening
to you folks is not right.”
Lindelof said that he would
appreciate anything the council
could do.
“None of you would be happy if
this was happening to your properties,” concluded Lindelof.
Bid Awarded
The council reviewed bids for
the replacement of the sanitary
sewer at the St. Croix County
Fairgrounds and a fire hydrant
on West Oak Street in front of
Ormson’s Super Valu.
Kevin Oium of Cedar Corporation was at the meeting to present the bids for the project and
answering any questions.
Oium told the council that
eight companies had pulled the
plans for the project and that
five had actually submitted bids
which Oium said was an impressive number.
The five bids ranged from
$70,656.25 from Albrightson
Excavating of Woodville to
$131,107.27 from Peterson Companies. McCabe Construction
tendered a bid of $77,533.00; A-1
Excavating came in at $84,727.00
for the project; and Haas Sons,
Inc.’s bid was for $87,923.75.
Oium recommended that the
council accept the low bid presented by Albrightson Excavating.
Councilperson
Steve
Lee
asked about additional costs for
dewatering should the contractor
run into excessive water which
is known to be a concern in the
West Oak Street and fairgrounds
areas.
“They are aware that there is
a lot of water and that there may
be a need for dewatering,” said
Director of Works Doug Doornink.
The project will also eliminate
the sanitary sewer run that goes
under the city’s recycling build
added Doornink.
After a brief discussion, the
council unanimously voted to accept the bid from Albrightson’s
Excavating for $70,656.25.
Oium informed the council
that Albrightson’s could begin
the project this coming week and
should have it completed in about
a week’s time.
A reading of the operation
evaluation report for phosphorus at the Waste Water Treatment Plant was tabled until next
month. Doornink did tell members, however, that the report
was submitted by the October 1
deadline as required.

Borrowing Authorized
Council members also unanimously approved an authorization to borrow $125,000 from
Hiawatha National Bank in
Glenwood City to pay for the
city’s new ambulance which went
into service this past May.
Larson told the council that
the terms of the loan called for
a 3.8 percent interest rate with
seven annual payments of approximately $21,000 each.
Loader
Whether to repair the old loader or purchase/lease a new loader
was the question.
Doornink told the council that
the city’s current loader is in
need of several repairs and that
he had prepared options for the
lease and/or purchase of a new
loader.
The council has been pondering that very issue the past few
months.
The current loader has a leaking radiator, needs tires (three
continually go flat), has a center
pin issue, rusty radiator and oil
cooler, a squealing serpentine
belt, aging batteries, and a steering issue.
Doornink told the council that
they could put several thousands
of dollars into the old loader
but that would not increase its
trade-in value of about $25,000
to $30,000.
After several minutes of discuss, Mayor Larson and the council agreed that Doornink should
proceed with needed repairs on
the old loader so it could make
it through this next winter while
they try to budget funds for a replacement in 2015.
Library Proclamation
Paula Brandt, Glenwood City
resident and member of the newly
formed Friends of the Glenwood
City Library, Inc., was present
to ask the council to support and
sign a proclamation declaring
October 19-25, 2014 as National
Friends of Libraries Week.
Brandt said the goal of the local group is to provide additional
support to the library. The GC
Friends group as an Incorporation will be able to access resources for the library that were
previously unattainable.
The council voted unanimously to sign the proclamation in
support of National Friends of
Libraries Week.
In other council action:
• Approved operator licenses
for: Les D. Warren, Michele L.
Hanson, Kristin M. Hurtgen,
Margery E. Jordheim, and Carey
J. Kuehl.
•Approved 30-day burning
permits for John Best (5-1 vote
with DeGross dissenting) and
Nancy Graese (4-2 vote with DeGross and Peterson dissenting).
• Tabled action on a new combination Class “B” retail license
application for Jeffrey Allen Kuehl after city clerk-treasurer Shari
Rosenow informed the council
that no license was currently
available.
•Approved the purchase of
new voting equipment for $6,900.
• Took no action on updates
to the personnel policy, drug and
alcohol policy, and the summer
rec updates.
• Went into closed session to
consider the financial, medical,
social or personal histories or disciplinary data of specific persons.
Mayor Larson reported that no
action was taken after reconvening into open session.
Continued from page 1
The colloidal clay discharge
from industrial sand mines “is
something new that was not taken
into account when the permit was
written,” she said.
Chippewa County currently
has ten sand mines in operation,
and several more sand mines are
proposed.
One proposed sand mine in the
Town of Howard alone would cover
two thousand acres.
The DNR currently is working
on updates for the stormwater
permit, Dix said.
Initially, all sand mining
companies want the mines to
be drained internally, but not
one of them, on start up, can be
internally drained, so they are all
externally drained, Dix said.
The mines are supposed to
manage their stormwater and
not discharge it until it is clean,
she said.
The DNR regulates both
stormwater and wastewater.
When stormwater mingles
with wastewater, it becomes
wastewater, Dix said.
Sand mines are supposed to
limit their stormwater discharge to
the maximum extent practicable,
and the cost of management is
taken into consideration, Dix said.
When wastewater is discharged,
there is a limit of 40 milligrams of
sediment per liter, she said.
Berge said that representatives
from the Chippewa County land
conservation office had collected
water samples on his property, and
the discharge from the DS mine
had contained more than 12,000
milligrams of sediment per liter.
“We are not dropping it. We are
not saying we can’t do anything …
we’re looking at the whole picture
before moving ahead to see where
we’re going,” Dix said.
DNR fishery staff and a DNR
water resource biologist also have
been assessing the situation, she
said.
Chuck Flodquist, who farms
downstream from Mark Berge,
said there was a significant
amount of water coming through
his place right after the September
3 rainstorm.
The water tapered off, but then
on Friday, September 5, there was
“a lot of water” again, he said.
Flodquist said he tried to call
the DNR but everyone he talked
to referred him to someone else.
Seth Ebel of Chippewa County
land conservation was the first
person to take a look at what had
happened on his farm.
“There was a half an inch of
clay on everything,” Flodquist
said.
Regulations
This area of Wisconsin is
already experiencing issues with
sand mines, and now there are
thousands of acres of new mines
being proposed, said Town of
Howard resident Susan LaNou.
The DNR has no ability to say
“no” if the sand mines meet the
permit requirements, Dix said.
The DNR cannot propose
legislation. Representatives and
senators in this area must propose
legislation to the state Legislature,
she said.
“Our local state Assemblyman
has no clue. Nothing will happen
in Madison,” Berge said.
Tom Larson of Colfax is the
representative for the state’s 67th
Assembly District that covers
Chippewa County and much of
Dunn County.
Representative Larson “knows
what is going on, but he doesn’t
care,” said one gentleman in the
audience.
The best way to draw attention
to the problems with sand mining
is to write letters to the DNR
secretary “so they understand
how large the issue is,” Dix said,
adding, “they do not realize it in
Madison.”
The petition to the Natural
Resources Board asking for a
strategic analysis of sand mining
“is a good start,” she said.
Midwest Environmental
Advocates has written the
petition. After signatures have
been gathered, MEA plans to
submit the petition to the Natural
Resources Board in October or
November.
Two years ago, members of the
Natural Resources Board came to
look at sand mines, but they only
looked at “the better sites,” said
Ken Schmitt, a Town of Howard
resident.
Area residents must “inundate”
the DNR secretary with letters and
provide specific details about what
has been seen and experienced in
the sand mining areas, Dix said.
A good example would be the
September rain event and the
observation of the amount of water
slowing down and then seeing
another flush and the subsequent
clay accumulation, she said.
People should write and talk
about “realistic things that are
tangible,” Dix said.
Writing to the state health
department also would be a good
strategy, she said.
Reclamation
Another sand mining topic Dix
addressed was mine reclamation.
Several people in the audience
wondered how agriculture
could be one of the accepted
end results of mine reclamation
after the sandstone filter for the
groundwater has been removed.
If the sandstone filter has been
removed, farm chemicals or other
contaminants will be able to easily
get into the groundwater, they
said.
If the reclamation plan is to
bring the land back to agriculture,
the mine operators have to prove
that they have achieved the
proposed end use, Dix said.
“Six inches of topsoil on rock is
not farmland,” she said, adding
that she hoped the county land
conservation offices in mining
areas would not accept such a
proposal.
One gentleman in the audience
mentioned the topsoil study in
Chippewa County being conducted
in conjunction with UW-River
Falls.
The first test plot will grow
native grasses and prairie plants
and will not be a farm field that
can be plowed and planted to corn,
he said.
Dix said if the end use for mine
reclamation is agriculture, she
“would like to see enough to till.”
Bore holes
Several people also mentioned
bore holes and that people
exploring for frac sand do not
always close the holes when they
are finished prospecting.
The exploration companies
are required to submit bore hole
abandonment forms, and one
company wants to keep those
forms confidential, Dix said.
The DNR is fighting the idea
that the abandonment forms
should be confidential, she said.
If the bore holes are over ten
feet deep or if they intersect with
the groundwater, the companies
are required to properly abandon
the holes with bentonite and
report that they have abandoned
the holes, Dix said.
As of October 1, the DNR has
citation authority for boreholes,
Schmitt said, and Dix confirmed
that it was true.
“If they can’t close bore holes,
what makes you think they can
run a sand mine?” commented one
person in the audience.
What many people do not
realize is that if the mine operator
walks away and does not close the
bore holes or does not do the mine
reclamation, it is the landowner’s
responsibility to fix it, Dix said.
People who attended the
meeting also talked about fugitive
dust from the sand mines, sand
blowing off the mine faces and
sand blowing off trucks hauling
the sand.
One gentleman in the audience
predicted that a marsh he has
observed next to a sand mine will
be filled in with blowing sand
within ten years.
Dix said the air emissions
permits are complicated and that a
DNR air emissions engineer would
be better equipped to answer their
questions.
Anyone wishing to contact Dix
about problems with sand mining
can call her at (715) 421-7809 or
(715) 421-9914 (cell).
Dix is the interim frac sand
liaison and previously worked in
DNR enforcement.
The DNR is planning to hire
someone to permanently fill the
position, and after a replacement
is hired, Dix will go back to
working in enforcement.
Dix was appointed the interim
frac sand liaison after Tom Woletz
retired last year.
Gary Stene: candidate for 67th Assembly District
By LeAnn R. Ralph
Editor’s Note: This paper sent
an e-mail to Representative Tom
Larson’s office on September 22,
and after waiting a day or two
for a reply, called Representative
Larson’s Madison office to leave
a message that he should contact
this paper about doing an interview
for a candidate profile article. As of
press time, Representative Larson
has not yet contacted this paper.
COLFAX — Gary Stene of
Colfax will be the Democratic
candidate on the November 4
ballot for representative of the
state’s 67th Assembly District.
Stene is a resident of Colfax
and currently works as a special
education aide for the Colfax
school district, a position that he
has held for 17 years.
Stene has served two terms on
the Colfax Board of Education and
has served five terms as the Colfax
village president. He is currently
serving his fourth term on the
Dunn County Board.
Stene has served on the board
of the Dunn County Economic
Development Corporation for
about ten years.
He recently visited the Colfax
Messenger officer to answer
questions about his position on
several issues.
Here are the questions and
Gary Stene’s answers.
1. What do you see as the
biggest issues facing the 67th
Assembly District? What do you
hope to accomplish regarding
those issues?
The issue of local control,
particularly as it relates to the
mining issue. Local levels of
government — townships and
counties — should be making
the decisions regarding mining
in their area, and not somebody
in Madison. I think that’s an
important issue.
The funding of local
governments is an issue, because
in effect, when they are under
funded, it chips away at local
control to deliver the services.
Look at Chippewa County. They
went to the wheel tax. One of the
supervisors said, “It’s our least
worst option.” Perhaps if they
had gotten the correct amount
of money from the state, maybe
they wouldn’t have had to do
that. I think that’s an issue at
all levels. State reimbursement
or state participation in funding
local government [through stateshared revenue] is vital for small
levels of government, townships,
villages and counties, to deliver
the services that they are elected
to do.
There are revenue limits and
spending caps that should perhaps
be looked at. That again relates to
local control. If you have revenue
limits and spending caps, do you
really have local control. I think
that’s something that should be
looked at. Either doing away
with the caps or adjusting them.
[Revenue limits were put into place
in 1993.] The way things currently
are, we are cannibalizing our local
government, unless you want to go
to referendum. I don’t think you
should have to go to referendum
for ongoing maintenance. You
should be able to pay your bills and
do common sense maintenance.
We can’t cut our way to solving our
problems. It would have been nice
if the revenue limits would have
applied to something like the cost
of health insurance. But the limits
didn’t apply to that. There are no
easy answers, but I think we can
make some headway. You have
to look for more revenue streams
and ongoing revenue streams. Not
raising the gas tax for all these
years. All of these things sound
good. Giving money back to people
— who can argue with that? But
in the end, that $840 million, if
I’d have had a say, I would have
sent it to the schools or sent it
to transportation and roads. We
certainly need that. It will be up to
the people to decide what direction
they want to go.
2. People living in the Town of
Howard and the Town of Cooks
Valley and beyond are concerned
about the sand mines and their
impact on neighbors and the
environment. What is your opinion
of the petition to the Natural
Resources Board asking for a
strategic analysis of the effects of
sand mines on the environment?
I think most of our local officials
are regular people like I am. They
are not DNR experts, and they are
not water experts. I really think
there is a place for the DNR where
they could and should help the
local officials get the information
they need so the local officials can
make informed and intelligent
decisions regarding sand mines
in their communities. With the
cut-back in the DNR’s budget
and cut-back in manpower, that
doesn’t lend itself to helping these
people out.
Local control — the local people
should make the decisions but
on a state-wide level, the DNR is
responsible for everything, and I
don’t know why they can’t provide
the expertise for the people here.
I think there are some policy
issues there. You hire good people
in the DNR. You hire people with
degrees. Let them do their jobs.
This whole sand mine thing needs
to get as much light shed on it and
as much information as possible
so that everybody can make an
informed and intelligent decision
based on facts, not on rumor, not
on innuendo, not on stories we
hear.
I do know that, in my time
serving in elected positions, I
always worried about Wisconsin’s
water. I think every official should

Bulldogs bulldoze Mounders 39-6; qualify for WIAA football playoffs
BOYCEVILLE — The Bulldogs’ offensive unit performed
with lethal efficiency here last
Friday evening against the
Mounders.
Boyceville, playing at home for
the sixth time this season, scored
four, first-half touchdowns (two
in each quarter) including a trio
of electrifying, one-play drives to
take a 26-6 halftime lead over a
stunned Elk Mound squad.
The Bulldogs, who recovered
five Elk Mound turnovers in the
game, tacked on two more touchdowns in the second half to keep
the Mounders winless in the
Dunn-St. Croix football standings while they improved to 3-2
in conference play and 6-2 overall
and qualified for the WIAA playoffs for the fourth time in six seasons with the 39-6 final October
10.
Junior quarterback Hunter
Anderson was a model of passing
efficiency as he tossed the pigskin
just ten times, completing six for
90 yards and three touchdowns.
Jordan Morse helped keep
the Bulldogs’ offensive attack
balanced as he rushed just nine
times but finished with a teamleading 102 yards that included
a scintillating 66-yard gallop
for Boyceville’s first score of the
game.
“I thought that our offense was
very effective and showed that
we have some big play capability,” Boyceville head coach Brian
Roemhild said of the win. “We
were very balanced in the run
game and very opportunistic in
the passing game.”
Boyceville turned three of Elk
Mound’s five turnovers in touchdowns.
Roemhild acknowledged the
key role that the Mounders’ mistakes and the Bulldogs’ ability to
capitalize on them played into
the game.
“We focus on creating turnovers,” he said. “Our goal was to
create over 25 turnovers for the
season and after Friday nights
game we were at 27.”
A fact, that speaks volumes for
the Bulldogs defense which held
the Mounders to just 137 yards
rushing on 38 tries and 72 yards
through the air with three picks.
“Defensively, we did a much
better job of stopping the run and
limiting their opportunities,” noted Roemhild.
“We have a lot of different guys
that step up and play a big roll
each week,” added the coach. “We
try to prepare the guys for that
fact that you never know when it
is going to be your turn to make
an impact.”
Such was the case for running
back Jordan Morse.
The Boyceville junior burst
into the open and out ran the Elk
Mound defense for the game’s
opening score - a beautiful 66yard run - with just 2:41 left
in the first quarter. Jake Lake
would kick the point after for a
7-0 Boyceville lead.
The score came just one play
after the Bulldogs’ defense held
Elk Mound running back Hunter
Adelman to just two yards on a
fourth and four play from Boyceville’s 36 yard line.
That single play seemed to deflate the Mounders, whom until
that point, had picked up three
first downs and 47 yards in their
first two possessions.
Boyceville took control of the
game just a few plays later when
the Bulldogs’ senior defensive
back Tyler Stroo snared the first
of his two interceptions. The pick
put Boyceville on the visitors’ 25
yard line.
On a third and eight, senior
Brady Schutts put the Bulldogs
back in the end zone when he
took the end around and went
23 yards to push the Boyceville
lead to 13-0 with 1:33 remaining
in the first quarter. Lake’s kick
sailed wide on the point after attempt.
A block-in-the-back call on the
ensuing kick-off return pushed
the Mounders back to their own
12 to begin the next series. A
bad, first-down snap sent Elk
Mound further back as quarterback Shawn Flynn scrambled to
recover the ball at the two. A few
plays later, Flynn was fortunate
to escape the end zone as he was
sacked at the one to end the first
ELUSIVE QB — Boyceville quarterback Hunter Anderson (#12) made a quick cut to avoid an Elk
Mound defender on his way to a 54-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter of the Bulldogs’ home
football game October 10. The run was called back due to a block in the back, but Anderson threw three
touchdown passes in the 39-6 Bulldogs’ win. —photo by Shawn DeWitt
quarter.
Cole Tyman’s 32-yard punt
and Hunter Anderson’s three
yard return opened the second
period of play.
The Bulldogs’ offense took control at the EM 30 and went for
the jugular.
For the second time in the
game, Boyceville needed just
one play to punctuate the end
zone. This time Anderson tossed
the ball to an open Brett Boda
to complete the 30-yard scoring play just 15 seconds into the
second quarter. Lake put foot to
leather and sent the ball through
the uprights for a 20-0 Boyceville
advantage.
The Mounders would take
their next possession on a move
into territory after a 20-yard
Noah Zurbuchen run and fouryard pass from Flynn to Cole Tyman help EM overcome a third
and 23.
But just two plays after earning a fresh set of downs, Elk
Mound gave the ball back when
Zurbuchen fumbled and Boyceville’s Brett Boda pounced on the
loose ball at the Mounders 42.
Hunter Anderson went up top
on the first play from scrimmage
and connected with Mitch Leach
for the 42-yard aerial and score Boyceville’s third, one-play scoring drive of the half. Although
Lake’s PAT missed, the Bulldogs
held a 26-0 lead with 7:13 to play
in the half.
The Mounders would again
drive into the Bulldogs’ territory
only to have to punt. This time
Tyman’s boot pinned Boyceville
at its own one.
After gaining just five yards,
Boyceville had to punt.
Elk Mound took the ball at
the Boyceville 34 following a fair
catch of the punt. It took just two
plays for the Mounders to cover
that distance and break the goal
line for the first and only time in
the game.
A 27-yard pass from Flynn
to Jonathan Storing moved the
Mounders to the seven where
Noah Zurbuchen ran it in to the
end zone at 2:11. The kick after
missed leaving the score 26-6 in
the Bulldogs favor.
Boyceville, however, was not
content to sit on that lead going
into the intermission.
After taking the kick off, a
pass interference call moved Boyceville to its 45. A 10-yard run by
Logan McAbee-Thomas and an
eight yard pass to Brady Schutts
had the Bulldogs at the EM 37.
It was on the next play that
Hunter Anderson ran through
the Mounders defense for another score but a holding penalty erased the points and set the
Bulldogs back 10 yards from the
spot of the foul - the EM 28.
After an incompletion and a
sack pushed Boyceville back to
its own 46, Anderson again got
loose and ran down the middle of
the field for what appeared to be
a 54-yard score on a fourth and
28. But it too was negated by yet
another Boyceville penalty (this
time a block in the back).
Boyceville punted and Elk
Mound took a knee to close out
the half.
Boyceville would find its way
to pay dirt twice more after the
intermission.
Hunter Anderson intercepted
a Flynn pass at midway through
the third to give Boyceville the
ball at the EM 23.
After a first-down incompletion, Boyceville gave the ball to
Morse for gains of eight and five
yards that set up a first and goal
at the 10. Brady Schutts caught
the ensuing pass for the 10-yard
touchdown. Lake’s kick made
it 33-6 with 5:09 to play in the
third.
The Bulldogs final scoring
drive began just six ticks into
the final quarter. With the exception of a pass play that lost seven
yards and had the locals flagged
for a hold, Boyceville stayed on
the ground moving the ball from
its own 32 to the Mounders 28
with runs of 20 and 11 yards by
Hunter Anderson and three carries each by Morse and Draeger
for 17 and 21 yards respectively.
The Bulldogs’ first team players
then gave way to their substitutes, who carried the ball the
rest of the way capped by Hunter Lipke’s one-yard plunge for
Boyceville’s and the game’s final
score, 39-6, with 4:24 to play.
Boyceville will finish the regular season on the road this Friday, October 17 when it travels
to Colfax to face the second-place
Vikings (4-1, 6-1). The Bulldogs
could earn a share of the conference’s runner-up spot with a win
over the Vikings, whose lone defeat this season, a 26-13 setback,
came back on week three to conference leader St. Croix Central.
Bulldogs finish regular cross country season at
Amery and improved times at Arcadia course
By Kelsie Hoitomt
The Boyceville cross country
team had two final meets this
past week with one in Amery last
Tuesday and then they were in
Arcadia on Saturday to wrap up
their regular season.
Amery
The Bulldogs finished fifth out
of seven at the Amery meet with
a total of 116 points; first went to
Unity/Luck with 42 points.
The Lady Dogs had just four
runners and did not field a team.
Mitch Pustol paved the way to
the finish line for the Bulldogs.
He finished in sixth place out of
59 with a time of 18:34.05.
Max Engel has been the
consistent number two runner
for the team. He ran a 20:10.35
for 20th place.
Freshman Rian Corr followed
in 29th place with a season best
run time of 20:36.42.
Jack Kapsner and Jerod Nelson
ran four tenths of a second apart
in 37 and 38th with times of
21:11.20 and 21:15.03.
Kiel Anderson was a few places
behind in 42nd with a time of
21:30.64 and then Caleb Hagen
finished up the team in 52nd with
a time of 22:52.79.
Shiann Wagner crossed the
finish line first for the Lady
Bulldogs. She took fifth place out
of 39 girls with a time of 22:19.85,
which was her personal best.
Marissa Dormanen followed

Lady Bulldogs finish 0-2 against
undefeated Vikings and Mounders
By Kelsie Hoitomt
The Boyceville volleyball team
faced off against the top two teams
in the conference this past week;
the Colfax Vikings and Elk Mound
Mounders.
Both the Bulldogs and the
Vikings were undefeated going
into Tuesday night’s contest, but
the victor was Colfax in a threeset match.
The Mounders beat St. Croix
Central Tuesday to remain
undefeated going into Boyceville’s
home game Thursday.
The Bulldogs’ record went to 5-2
after losing in three sets of 25-12,
25-10 and 25-18 to the Mounders.
It was a battle of the undefeated
on Tuesday night and the Vikings
prevailed by dominating all three
sets in finals of 25-14, 25-20 and
25-16.
The Vikings were in total
control from the get go with a
strong lead of 11-4 in the first
set and then 22-12 before they
finished with the win.
The second set was more
evenly matched with the score
tied several times including at 6’s,
10’s and 13’s before the Vikings
pulled away.
The Bulldogs brought the score
within three points after two
strong serves by Hannah Guy
and a block by Lexi Peterson and
Erica Sempf.
Marki Lagerstrom served up
two more points and Peterson and
Madysn Riek blocked up front to
put the score at 23-20, but Kori
Buchanan fired in two kills to give
the Vikings the win.
The Bulldogs entered the third
set without their attack leader
Abbey Bird due an injury suffered
early in the previous set.
The Vikings quickly took over
with a lead of 8-2, but the theme
of the night seemed to be that of
a “yo-yo” as the Bulldogs brought
the score back to within three.
The Dogs were down 14-11
before falling back down to 18-11.
They jumped up 16 points before
Colfax secured their victory with
some hard kills.
On Thursday night, the
Mounders completely dominated
the court against the Bulldogs.
Their team of seniors proved to be
a force to reckon with.
The Bulldogs were unable
to get their attacks past the
Mounder’s hands. They were a
wall on blocks and the majority of
the balls bounced off their hands,
back to the Bulldogs and the girls
were not able to react fast enough.
Elly Friberg landed the victory
kills in both the first and second
set.
The third set was the Bulldogs’
best performance. They were up
7-6 and then 9-7 with the help of
a solo block my Mckenzie Schultz
and a kill by her as well.
With Bird out, Schultz’s senior
leadership really stepped up at
the net. Cassie Malean, Riek and
Sempf also played important roles
at the net.
Malean landed a kill to put
them ahead 11-10. She also did a
fantastic job of taking digs off of
the Mounder’s attacks.
Despite their efforts in the third
set, the Bulldogs began to trail at
16-20 and soon the game was all
over with the Mounders ending
things at 25-18.
The Bulldogs had a match in
Elmwood Tuesday night and they
will be in Shell Lake on Saturday
for a Triangular that is scheduled
to start at 9:30 a.m. They will then begin their
Regional play on Tuesday, October
24.

Panthers remain undefeated after mauling Toppers 43-12
By Kelsie Hoitomt
HAMMOND — The St. Croix
Central Panthers advanced to
5-0 in Dunn-St. Croix Conference
after Friday’s 43-12 victory over
the Glenwood City Hilltoppers.
The Panthers scored six
touchdowns against the Toppers
including one on an interception.
The Toppers turned the ball
over a total of three times with two
in the first quarter and one early
in the second.
The game started with Mitch
Hurtgen giving the ball the boot
on the kick off. The Panthers
started on their own 30 and only
moved to the 26 before punting on
fourth and 13.
Jake O’Meara ran the punt
return to the 40, but the second
snap ended up fumbled and
recovered by Central’s Josh
Freyholtz.
This put the Panthers on the
right side of the field and in four
plays Cody Gostovich was in the
end zone for the first touchdown
of the game. The kick was no good
so the scoreboard read 6-0 at 5:37.
Gostovich’s kick went out of the
end zone and resulted in a touch
back for the Toppers.
From the 20, they moved up
seven yards on a pass completion
from Nick Schone to O’Meara.
Schone fired back to throw
again, but this time he was met by
Connor Rogers. Rogers got ahold
of the ball and took off running for
another Panther touchdown with
4:57 on the clock now.
Kyle Larson held onto the ball
for the quarterback keeper on the
two-point conversion play, which
put the score at 14-0.
The Toppers following drive
resulted in a punt. They were able
to stop the Panthers however and
force them to punt as well after
Joel Ormson blocked a pass on
third down.
Jake Nelson returned the punt
to the 38 yard line to start the
Toppers’ drive. Two passes fell
incomplete and then Evan Nielson
stepped in front of the ball for an
interception.
There was however a flag
thrown against Central, which
gave the Toppers the ball back and
an extra 15 yards.
Schone handed the ball off to
Nathan Mrdutt and he picked up
a 13 yards gain to give the Toppers
their biggest gain of the night.
The possession was cut short
however when the pass to Todd
Petersen fell into the hands of
Ryan Gulich.
The Panthers moved the ball
from the Toppers’ 48 to the 19 in
just two plays.
The second quarter started
with the ball on the 19 and then
soon they were on the five yard
line.
From there, Gostovich drove in
the touchdown run with 8:38 on
the clock. He turned around and
kicked the extra point, which put
the score at 21-0.
The Toppers were again stopped
short on their drive when an
interception was thrown. This
time it was Jason Matteson that
caught the pass.
This put the Panthers on the
Toppers’ 27. Gostovich ran the
ball for the first down at the 15,
but the Toppers’ defense kicked in
and held them to fourth and two.
The Toppers ended up with the
ball back in their possession on
downs at the 19, which set them
in motion for their longest drive
of the night.
From the 19, Billy Norenberg
ran to the 26. Then it was Mrdutt
with a couple strong carries to get
them up the field.
With 1:48 on the clock and the
play at fourth down and four to
go, the Toppers called a time out.
After the time out, the ball
was handed off to Norenberg and
BILLY NORENBERG carries the ball to the nine yard line, which sets the Toppers up for their first
touchdown. —photo by Kelsie Hoitomt
he successfully reached the first
down.
O’Meara then ran the ball for
yet another first down for an 11
yard gain, which put the Toppers
on the 42.
With the clock running down
from 60 seconds, Mrdutt grabbed
three hands off, which pushed the
Toppers into Panther territory and
gave them another first down.
The clock was however not on
their side as it ticked down to
zero with Schone in possession of
the ball.
After standing high and dry at
midfield with no score, the Toppers
had redemption on their minds to
start the third quarter.
Nelson received the kick off
and brought it out to their own
40. Schone then connected with
Norenberg to put the ball on the
48.
The Toppers were at fourth
and two so they handed the ball
to Mrdutt who surged through to
get the first down, which put them
on the Panther’s 49.
Two passes fell incomplete
before Schone hit Petersen up
the middle of the field for the first
down at the 35.
A penalty was called against
Central, which moved the ball up
to the 20.
From there, Schone hit
Jake Hierlmeier for an 11 yard
reception, which put them at the
nine. Norenberg cut to the right
and headed up field for a four
yard gain.
Norenberg’s run set the Toppers
in motion for their first touchdown
Anchoring for the team was
Emma Scholler in 26th with a
time of 25:37.63.
The boys’ team had Riley
Schutz and Jack Kremer leading

Conference meet that is set to
begin at 4:30 p.m.
of the game. It was from there that
Schone took the snap and fired to
Petersen in the end zone for the
score.
Their two-point conversion was
no good, but at 6:52 the Toppers
were on the board 21-6.
The Panthers answered back
with their fourth touchdown after
Larson connected with Matteson
for a 21 yard reception near the
two minute marker.
To start the fourth quarter, the
Toppers lost possession of the ball
on downs so Central started at
first and 15 at the 44.
They lost ten yards on another
penalty, but quickly shot forward
on a run by Larson.
From the 19 yard line, Larson
landed a pass to Matteson, which
resulted in his second touchdown
catch of the game.
Gostovich’s kick was good,
which put the score at 35-6 with
nine minutes still left to the play
in the quarter.
Both teams came up empty on
their next possessions, but after
the Panther’s punted the Toppers
were in the end zone thanks to a
49 yard run by Nelson.
Nelson’s touchdown was the
final score for the Toppers at 4:20
in the quarter.
The game ended with Larson
running 56 yards to score the
Panthers’ final touchdown. Cody

Lady Toppers lose in three
sets to Pepin and Plum City
By Kelsie Hoitomt
The past week the Lady Toppers
played two of their final three
conference games with Tuesday
night at home against Pepin and
Thursday was away in Plum City.
Both matches ended in a threeset loss for Glenwood City.
The Toppers started off quite
strong against the Lakers with a
6-0 lead in the first set and then
it was 10-3 with the help of a kill
by Jenesa Klinger.
The Lakers were clearly thrown
off guard and two time outs were
called in order to come up some
sort of new strategy.
The set fell apart at the seams
following the break and soon the
score was tied at 14’s, then at 20
before Hannah Ludtke landed a
tip.
Pass errors on the serve receive
resulted in a loss of points and the
game ended 25-23 in favor of the
Lakers.
The Toppers’ offense was
lackluster in the second set with
very few attacks and too many
passes, which resulted in a quick
finish of 25-11.
The Lakers needed to win
one more set in order to take the
victory for the evening and they
did so with a final score of 25-18.
The Toppers finished with a
total of 12 kills, five service aces
out of 53 serves and 29 digs on
defense.
Becca Moll led the team in kills
with four, Hannah followed with
three, Klinger had two and Leslie
Ludtke, Mikaela Voeltz and Carlee
Strong each had one.
Strong also took the majority of
the digs with ten and she had one
ace. Klinger and Voeltz had the
other four aces with two a piece.
The Toppers final match of the
week was Thursday against Plum
City. They finished the night with
a three-set loss of 25-20, 25-15
and 25-13.
They had a total of 13 kills,
three aces in 49 total serves and
39 digs on defense.
Moll again was the lead at the
net with five kills for the Toppers.
Klinger and Voeltz followed with
three each and Leslie and Hannah
each had one.
Klinger also had two aces for
the team and Leslie landed one.
Klinger was also the pass receiver
on the defense with 17 total digs.
The Toppers wrapped up their
regular season on Tuesday night
with a game at home against St.
Croix Central. They will have
their first round of Regionals next
Tuesday, October 24.

A man was sitting reading his papers when his wife hit him round
the head with a frying pan. "What was that for?" the man asked. The
wife replied, "That was for the piece of paper with the name Jenny on
it that I found in your pants pocket." The man then said, "When I was
at the races last week, Jenny was the name of the horse I bet on." The
wife apologized and went on with the housework.
Three days later the man is watching TV when his wife bashes him
on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious.
Upon regaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit again.
The wife replied, "Your horse called."

I was in my backyard trying to launch a kite. I threw the kite up in
the air, the wind would catch it for a few seconds, then it would come
crashing back down to earth. I tried this a few more times with no
success.
All the while, my wife Karen is watching from the kitchen window,
muttering to herself how men need to be told how to do everything.
She opens the window and yelled to me, "You need a piece of tail."
I turned with a confused look on my face and yelled back, "Make up
your mind. Last night, you told me to go fly a kite."

worry about Wisconsin’s water.
The DNR is one of our guardians
of the water. The court case over
by Plover. The high capacity well.
The court said the DNR did not
take into account the things they
should have taken into account.
There’s a lesson in that. The DNR
has a responsibility. It is part of
our constitution that we look after
the welfare of our people, and
water is one of them.
I read the article the other day.
It exposed a big chasm between
the upper levels in the DNR
and the people doing the work.
You have to take politics out of
government agencies and let
them do their jobs. You have
to take the politics out of the
funding and for manpower and for
direction. I don’t have a degree in
science or water. I have a friend
who has worked in the DNR for
more than 30 years, and he is so
disgusted. They put a political
appointee to run the DNR with
no experience whatsoever. They
get told what they can pursue
and what they can’t pursue. And
when the funding is cut and the
manpower is cut, there’s only so
much they can do.
3. In September, the Seventh
Circuit Court of Appeals lifted the
stay on voter ID for the November
elections, and the Government
Accountability Board decided to
implement the 2011 law. Now
municipal clerks and the GAB say
there is no money in their budgets
to implement the law. Should the
state issue emergency funds to the
municipalities to implement voter
ID? Or should the municipalities
cut something else from their
budgets to pay for implementing
voter ID?
My opinion on the voter ID law
is that in 95 percent of state, they
never did come up with any proven
voter fraud. If it’s not broke, why
fix it. Assuming that there are
some areas that have issues, they
should have fixed those issues
there. We have no problem in our
rural area with voter fraud. I don’t
know why you wouldn’t make it
easier to vote. But having lost that
argument, now it doesn’t make
any sense to change the voting
parameters and requirements and
not expect that you are going to
have an added expense to educate
the people. So, yes. The state
should allocate some money to get
this done.
I will take the Republicans at
face value. That it wasn’t done
to stunt or shift the vote, but if
that is really, truly the case, and
you want everybody to vote, you
should allocate money so notices
can go out and people can do the
proper thing. You would think that
a change of this magnitude, you
would have budgeted an X amount
of money to make the first year
or two as seamless as possible, to
make voting as easy as possible.
They didn’t allocate any money.
That’s not very good planning.
4. Economists say that people
having money to spend is what
helps the economy improve and
ultimately creates jobs. What is
your opinion about increasing the
minimum wage?
I would be in favor of increasing
the minimum wage. It would
benefit the overall economy.
There would be more money for
people. I don’t think you can
live on the minimum wage now.
What final figure we come to is
all open to discussion. But yes,
philosophically, we should raise
the minimum wage. There was
an interesting article about the
CEO of an insurance company.
In the 60s, he was homeless. He
worked different jobs. If he took
the minimum wage paid then
and projected it up to (today), it
would be about $10.50. It hasn’t
done that. Here is a man, who
has a GED and is the head of a
company, who says it makes sense
to raise the minimum wage. The
purchasing power has been so
hollowed out.
5. The Legislative Fiscal
Bureau is projecting a $1.8 billion
budget deficit over the next two
years. The Department of Health
Services has asked for $760
million over the next two years to
pay for Medicaid. Taxpayers would
have saved $206 million under
the current state budget if the
federal Medicaid money had been
accepted, according to the LFB.

expanded under the Affordable
Care Act, taxpayers would save
$261 to $315 million in 2015-2017,
according the LFB. What is your
opinion of accepting federal money
for expanding Medicaid?
My opinion on accepting the
Medicaid expansion money from
the federal government so we
can expand BadgerCare is a nobrainer. Not taking the money
cannot be defended on any fiscal
ground whatsoever. The money
has been paid by taxpayers. It’s
in Washington. My understanding
of it is that if we would take the
money, new people on BadgerCare
would be 100 percent funded until
2020, then it drops to 90 percent.
Currently, BadgerCare is
funded 60 percent by the federal
government and 40 percent by
the state. Because of the decisions
being made by the government
and legislature, we have to ask
for the extra money. We’re paying
60/40 when we could get it for 100
percent, and after 2020, 90/10.
That just doesn’t make any sense
to me. I don’t think that’s good
representation for the people of
the 67th. Why would I pass up
putting approximately 500 people
in Dunn County and a little over
a thousand people in Chippewa
An
County, giving them the access to
BadgerCare, why would I not do
that? Over three or four biennium,
it’s $31 million in Chippewa and
$18 million in Dunn County,
which is $49 million. (A total
of) $49 million rippling through
our economy and the health
industry, plus you would have
people, more than the size of the
Village of Colfax, who would have
insurance. I don’t know why we’re
not doing that. I don’t think it can
be defended on any logical, fiscal
grounds at all. My answer is not
partisan. This is not a partisan
issue. This is dollars and cents,
common sense. Why aren’t we
doing that? Our representatives
are elected to make fiscal decisions
for their electorate, not to make
policy statements.
Their argument was that they
wanted people to take care of
themselves. And there’s some
validity to that. They don’t think
the federal government would be
able to keep up their end of the
bargain. We take tons of money
from the federal government for
education and transportation.
Their argument does not hold
water. By that way of thinking,
we should be turning down federal
highway funds.
Outdoorsman's
Journal
A column by Mark Walters
A huge finish to 2014
Hello friends,
This week’s column is all over
the map, in more ways than one.
My guess is that you will find it
interesting.
Wednesday, October 1st
High 54, low 32
My buddy Jody “Big Elk”
Bigalke and I go back a long
ways. Jody is my age, from New
Lisbon, and an avid KAMO
member and outdoorsmen. Most
importantly and specifically in
this case anyways, Jody Bigalke
is very skilled as a trapper.
Today the two of us were on a
mission, and that was to travel
by foot through as much country
as possible in Wisconsin’s central
forest, looking for wolf sign. A
few years back, Big Elk was
one of the first people, in this
part of the state, to harvest a
wolf with a trap and today he
was willing to teach me what
he knew as I prepare for one of
my most exciting adventures
in years. I have received a tag,
which enables me to attempt to
harvest a wolf as of October 15th
by either hunting or trapping.
As I wrote earlier in this
column, is going to be all over
the map. Back in the mid 90’s
I was writing this column
and I was a solid supporter
of Wisconsin’s “Wolf Recovery
Program”. I repeatedly wrote
that the wolves that were in
Wisconsin migrated into this
state and were not translocated
from other states. A lot of my
pals in the northern part of
Wisconsin did not appreciate
my support of wolves returning
to our landscape.
I have always been into
bio-diversity, followed up by
good biology, followed up by the
potential to harvest the species
that has recovered, should it
recover to a sustainable level.
That is why as of October
15th I am going to work myself
to the bone in an attempt to
harvest a gray wolf, while
walking through forest and
marshland until I either harvest
my quarry or the season closes.
As Jody Bigalke taught me
and I already knew, the gray
wolf, like the coyote is incredibly
intelligent and one of my main
goals will be to get my “sets” out
and then let time and nature
do it’s best job to remove any
human scent left in the area.
Folks, no matter who I am
talking to or what I am doing,
my attempt to catch a wolf is on
my mind and I love it.
Here is where the all over
the map part sets in. Last night,
Selina and I headed over to the
Stevens Point area where we
built a camp and were helped out
by my good buddy, Ben Gruber
in our choice of a deer stand
on his 130-acre farm. Tonight
after Necedah’s homecoming
football game, Selina and I
will be heading to camp and
in the morning I will be sitting
in a tree with my 13-year-old
daughter, who will have her
choice of either a bow or a 30:06
with the high hopes of making
some venison during Wisconsin’s
Youth Deer Hunt!
Another first for me is that
as of December 26th, I have
my first tag for harvesting a
bobcat and it is for Wisconsin’s
“northern zone”. I have been
applying for a bobcat tag for
years and I am super excited.
I hope to pursue my first
bobcat by dog and am reaching
out to my readers, if there
is anyone that is really into
running bobcat get a hold of me,
lets have some fun!
I currently have two fish
at the taxidermist; if I am
successful on a mature wolf
and or bobcat, I am thinking full
body mounts. If Selina harvests
her first buck this weekend (so
far 3 doe under her belt) I will
be doing something with that
as well. My potential taxidermy
bill actually scares me but it is a
healthy and worthy fear.
Being a hobby farmer and a
person that heats my house with
wood and barters with firewood,
is another area of my life that
literally has me scheduled every
minute of my waking day until
early December.
Live life to its fullest, someday
you will not have that choice!

Robert and Theresa Widiker, Hudson,
filed suit against Kemper Independence
Insurance Company, Madison.
According to the complaint, at about
7:45 a.m. on April 19, 2013, Robert Widiker, who was working as a St. Croix
County sheriff ’s deputy, was occupying
a legally parked 2007 Chrysler Pacifica
owned by the Sheriff ’s Department when
a motor vehicle collision occurred.
The suit says Jessica L. Peterson of
Hammond, who was driving another
vehicle, caused the accident. According to
online court records, she was later found
guilty of not keeping her car’s windows
reasonably clean and fined $190.
According to the civil complaint, Widiker sustained a concussion and injuries
to his spinal column and left shoulder.
The complaint says Peterson had no
insurance, and the Sheriff ’s Department
did not provide any uninsured motorist
coverage.
Widiker is making claim under the
uninsured-motorist provisions of his personal policy with Kemper Independence
and is asking for $750,000 in damages.
His wife is asking for $50,000.

RIVER FALLS — Special guest
speaker Sheriff Richard Mack,
who is a nationally recognized
author in addition to challenging
the Federal Government and won
in a landmark Supreme Court
decision, will be speaking on
October 20 and 21 in River Falls.
The events are free and open to
the public!
The first appearance will be on
Monday, October 20, 2014, from
7:00 - 9:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Big
River Church, W10137 570th
Ave. River Falls, WI 54022. The
presentation is presented b the
Wisconsin Constitutional Prayer
and Action Group. Directions
to St. Mary’s Big River Church:
From Hwy 10 Eastbound from
Prescott or Hwy 10 Westbound
from Ellsworth, turn North onto
Cty Hwy E for ¼ mile then turn
left onto 570th Ave and the Church
is on the left. From River Falls
proceed South on Hwy 35 (Main
St.) then left onto Cty Hwy E then
right onto 570th Ave and Church
is on your left.
Learn about the Sheriff ’s role
in county government and how it
affects you and your constitutional
rights.
Former Sheriff Richard Mack
is a powerful experienced speaker.
He is a strong advocate for our
states’ rights and our individual
freedoms. You are invited to
hear him speak about the County
Sheriff, the Oath of Office, citizens’
personal freedoms and the
importance of the office of Sheriff
to defend those freedoms.
During Mack’s tenure as Sheriff
in Graham County, Arizona,
federal officers informed sheriffs
they would be required to enforce
the “Brady Bill.” Mack along with
six other sheriffs challenged the
constitutionality of the Brady Bill
and fought it all the way to the US
Supreme Court. Three years later,
in a landmark 5-4 split decision
based on the Tenth Amendment
to the United States Constitution,
Mack won his case.
What happens when
government does not obey its own
Constitution?
What accountability is there for
politicians who vote for and pass
unconstitutional laws?
What happens if they appoint
unlawful bureaucracies or allow
their agents to violate the natural
and legalized rights of American
Citizens?
What are the dangers of giving
government too much power?
Sheriff Richard Mack will also
be at the Riverview Ballroom,
located on the third floor of
University Center Building at
the University of Wisconsin River
Falls at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday,
October 21.

O.K. Hedlund, age 83, of
Menomonie, formerly of Boyceville,
passed away Saturday, October 11,
2014 at his home.
Oliver Kellogg “O.K.” Hedlund
was born on June 22, 1931 on a

Hedlund. The family moved

graduated from Boyceville High
School in 1949. After one and
one half years at Luther College,

U.S. Army and served three years,
one of which was in Korea, prior
to his discharge in 1954.
On December 26, 1953 O.K.

from this union five children were

Balanced budget proposed for
Boyceville school, enrollment up
BOYCEVILLE — The annual
meeting of the district residents
of the Boyceville school district
were presented with a balance
budget proposal for the coming
school year.
The Monday night meeting
opened with the annual budget
hearing in which District
Superintendent Kevin Sipple
informed residents that there
would be a balanced budget for
this coming year. Sipple spoke
about the state aids that the
district receives and noted that 64
percent of the revenue for school
needs comes from state aids.
The budget estimates those aids
at $5,424,224, but Sipple stated
that the district would not have a
final figure until Wednesday. The
proposed budget estimates those
state aids some $110,435 less than
the last budget. “The higher the
state aids, the lower the levy will
be,” Sipple noted.
The total expenditures for all
funds is estimated at $11,866,951
which will require a tax load
of $1,801,585 for operational
expenses and another $1,316,132
to service the district’s debt. This
amount requires a mill rate of
12.17295 mills, which is a four
percent increase over last year.
The district just recently learned
that the equalized valuation
of the district is up slightly to
$256,118,527. The valuation of
the district peeked in 2008 at over
$285 million.
Sipple also talked about the
district’s debt, noting that it is
declining. At present the district
is carrying a debt load of $9.3
million. Stating, “If we stay
to the plan, without any large
investments,” the district debt will
drop considerable over the next
few years.
Sipple also addressed the
school’s fund balance at the end
of the budget period, which is
estimated to be at over $2.3
million. He stated, “The fund
balance is where it should be.” He
continued, “this is the first time in
18 years that we will not have cash
flow borrowing.” In the past, the
district has had to borrow money
for a short time to meet cash flow
expenditures, before tax revenues
are received.
The board will approve the
budget and tax levy at their
meeting on Monday, October 27.
Enrollment Up
The annual meeting report
included a third Friday count of
enrollment history. That report
indicated that the district has 21
more students than it had a year
ago. The count is 787 students
in early childhood through grade
twelve. Last year at this time the
count was 766. The district high
was in 2001 with a count of 953
students.
During his report at the annual
meeting Sipple noted to the
residents of the district that, “there
is little doubt a transformation is
taking place in education. Our
school district is on the cutting edge
of making these transformational
changes. We continue to lead in
the use of technology, adoption of
Educator Effectiveness, adoption
of the Common Core Standards,
RTI, PBIS, Smarter Balance
Assessment System, just to
mention a few.”
Sipple praised the staff and
students for their advancements,
saying that the district has an
average of 22.5 on the ACT tests
noting that it is higher than it has
ever been and that more students
took the test. But he told the
meeting that after discussing the
testing with other members of the
staff, they concluded that students
would be spending some two and a
half weeks during the school year
taking tests. “That’s time taken
away from instruction,” Sipple
concluded.
Sipple also noted that Tiffany
Creek Elementary School received
a Wisconsin Title One School of
Recognition Award for the fifth
straight year. Principal Nick
Kaiser has just returned from
Madison Monday evening after
accepting the award.
School Board President Gail
Stark was elected chairman of the
meeting and she plowed through
the numerous items on the agenda.
The meeting approved all of the
agenda items without making
changes from prior years.

Dunn County PRD recommends approval of new zoning maps
Committee still struggling with housing density issue
By LeAnn R. Ralph
MENOMONIE — The Dunn
County Planning, Resources
and Development Committee is
recommending that the county
board approve new zoning maps.
The PRD committee
recommended approval of the
zoning maps at the October
7meeting.
The Dunn County Board
approved the new comprehensive
zoning code in October of 2013.
In the year since then, Bob
Colson, Dunn County planner
and zoning administrator, has
been working with town plan
commissions and town boards to
modify the General Agriculture
maps to fit the particular township.
When the county board
approved the new zoning code,
all of the maps were of the “plain
vanilla” variety in the form of
General Agriculture, Colson said.
Most of 16 zoned townships in
Dunn County are mostly zoned
General Agriculture.
Much of the Town of Lucas,
h o w e v e r, w h i c h i s w e s t o f
Menomonie, is zoned Primary
Agriculture.
The Town of Grant, north
of Colfax, is zoned Intensive
Agriculture.
The Town of Wilson, northeast
of Colfax, also is mostly zoned
Primary Agriculture.
Each of the town plan
commissions and the town boards
have already approved the new
zoning maps.
Adopting the amended zoning
maps was on the agenda for the
Dunn County Board’s October 15
meeting.
Unzoned
A total of six townships in
Dunn County declined to adopt
the county’s new comprehensive
zoning code and are currently
unzoned.
The unzoned townships are the
Towns of New Haven, Sand Creek,
Eau Galle, Elk Mound, Spring
Brook and Rock Creek.
The Town of New Haven held
a referendum during the April
election in 2012 asking residents
whether New Haven should be
zoned or unzoned.
The New Haven Town Board
had approved a moratorium on
sand mining several months
earlier.
Town residents voted 98 to 88
adopt county zoning.
The New Haven Town Board
adopted county zoning at the April
of 2012 board meeting.
Two New Haven town board
supervisors approved county
zoning in 2012. Town board
member Marv Prestrud abstained
from voting because he had
signed a contract with a frac sand
company.
When asked about the Town of
New Haven, Colson, the county’s
zoning administrator, said the
town board had declined to adopt
the new zoning code and is now
currently unzoned again.
Housing density
For the past several meetings,
the PRD committee has been
struggling with the issue of
housing density and land division.
Committee members have
settled on a housing density
of 8:1 in areas zoned General
Agriculture.
The housing density of one
house for every eight acres allows
a minimum lot size of one acre and
is intended to preserve farmland
and open space in Dunn County.
For example, if a landowner
wanted to sell a 40-acre parcel for
housing development, a total of
five houses would be allowed on
the parcel. If the landowner sold
five one-acre lots for development,
the other 35 acres would have to
remain as open space or farmland.
Committee members also
struggled with transfer of
development rights and eventually
agreed that a landowner should
be able to transfer development
rights between two contiguous
parcels owned by the same person.
For example, if a farmer owned
two 40-acre parcels next to each
other, and one of the 40 acres was
productive farmland but the other
40 acres was wooded, the farmer
could transfer the development
rights from the farmland to the
wooded acreage, so that instead
of five houses on each parcel, the
wooded parcel could contain ten
houses. The 40 acres in farmland
would then have to remain as
farmland or open space.
Amendment
In order to amend the
county’s zoning code to include
housing density and transfer of
development rights, each of the
16 zoned townships in Dunn
County will have to approve the
amendments.
The procedure for amending
the zoning code includes filing a
petition with the PRD committee
a nd wit h t he count y b oa rd
supervisors representing those
particular townships.
The petition to amend the
zoning code must also be filed with
the county clerk and the county
zoning administrator and must
be sent to the town boards no less
than ten days prior to a public
hearing on the amendment.
The town boards can approve
or reject the amendment prior to
the public hearing or at the public
hearing.
County residents also will
have the opportunity to give
their opinions about the proposed
zoning amendment at the public
hearing.
All together, the town boards
would have 30 days to approve or
reject the amendment.
The agenda for the Dunn
County Planning, Resources and
Development Committee’s October
14 meeting included a review of
the proposed amendments to the
zoning code.
The Dunn County Board could
take action on the proposed zoning
amendments at a December
meeting.
The county board generally
does not meet in December, but
Bob Walter, chair of the PRD
committee, said it was a possible
a special meeting would be
scheduled in December on another
matter.
If the county board does not take
action on the zoning amendments
this year, the amendments could
be on the agenda for the January
meeting, he said.

Drinking cups turned into
bugs? Although that sounds quite
impossible, it has in fact been
done by Maurice Nolden and his
wife Jackie.
For a few years now the Noldens
have been taking old drinking
cups out of livestock barns and
turning them into Lady Bugs with
rebar painted legs and antennas.
The bugs are all specially
welded together by Maurice and
hand painted by Jackie in the
traditional Lady Bug red and
black. Custom colors have been
done as well for Military branches
or football teams.
The Noldens first made about
six of them and took them to a local
restaurant that they frequented.
The waitresses all wanted one and
soon they themselves had people
interested. Before the Noldens
knew it, they had made around
$500-600.
Maurice and Jackie did not feel
right keeping the money so they
decided to give it to disadvantaged
veterans.
First they set out to give money
to one individual veteran, but soon
that became too difficult.
Someone then suggested that
they take the money to a Veterans’
office so they can disburse the
funds where they are needed.
Maurice and Jackie have
since been traveling the state
of Wisconsin, going around to
Veterans’ offices where they walk
in and drop a check off; quite
a surprise to those behind the
Dunn County Sheriff’s Office partners with 24-7
and West Wisconsin Telcom for Packer cards
DUNN COUNTY ­— The next
time you see a Dunn County
Sheriff ’s Deputy, you might
just be offered a Green Bay
Packers Player trading card.
Sheriff Dennis Smith says the
department recently partnered
with 24-7 & West Wisconsin
Telcom and the Green Bay
Packers to offer Green Bay
Packer Player trading cards.
The special Green Bay Packer
Player trading cards include
pictures of 20 different Packers
players and team management.
On the reverse side, the cards
have crime prevention tips and
helpful everyday suggestions
for young people. The football
card program is designed to
make it easier for young people
to become acquainted with
deputies in a fun way. Though
the program is mainly intended
for school children, the cards are
for Packers fans of any age.
Deputies of the Dunn County
Sheriff ’s Office together with
24-7 & West Wisconsin Telcom
will distribute 1-2 trading cards
each week for the remainder of
the football season. If you see a
Dunn County Deputy on patrol,
please feel free to wave him/her
down and ask for the GB player
trading card of the week. If the
officer is not busy with a service
call, they can stop and give you
the featured card of the week.
24-7 & WEST WISCONSIN TELCOM recently presented the
Dunn County Sheriff’s Office with a commemorative 2014 Green
Bay Packer Player trading card poster to kick off the start of the new
Green Bay Packer trading card campaign in Dunn County. Pictured
are Dunn County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Adam Zukowski, 24-7 &
West Wisconsin Telcom Public Relations Manager, Robin Buck, and
Dunn County Sheriff Dennis Smith.

Or feel free to stop at the Dunn
County Sheriff ’s Office or 24­­-7
& West Wisconsin Telcom retail
stores in Menomonie, Downsville
or Eau Claire during normal
business hours to obtain trading
cards.
According to Sheriff Smith,
“Our goal with this initiative
is to promote communications
between deputies and the public.
We hope those discussions will
build bonds that last into the
future and encourage a positive
relationship with both the
deputies and employees of a local
business. Thanks to our friends
at 24-7 & West Wisconsin Telcom
for sponsoring this community
relations and public outreach
program with the Green Bay
Packers.”

Lady Bugs raise money for local veterans

shop in Downing. The proceeds go towards helping Veterans in

counter.
The bugs, which weigh a solid
five pounds or more, have become
very popular throughout the state.
They can be seen on display at
several Veteran offices, including
one not too far from here.
Gordie Cronk was at the
Veterans’ Office in Menomonie
when he first saw one of the bugs.
He was told the story by Veterans’
Officer Greg Quinn so he set out to
find a bunch of drinking cups and
did it online at the Smith Sales
Auction site.
Once he had the cups, Gordie
contacted the Noldens and they
made the trip up here from their
home in Prairie Du Sac to pick
them up and drop off some bugs.
The bugs have been a big hit in
Gordie’s shop with a large number
already purchased over the past
couple of weeks.
Gordie said he is always looking
for cups and if anyone has some
they would like to donate, he will
go out and remove them himself.
The cups will go to the Noldens
and in turn they will create a bug,
which they sell for $40.
Gordie said that aside from
selling them, he is also taking
orders so if anyone is interested
they can call his shop at 715-2654913.
To date, the Noldens have
donated over $60,000 to Veterans
in need. They have been to at least
60 counties and their goal is to
make it to all 72 in the state.
Boyceville village board hears
about scam attempts and break-ins
BOYCEVILLE — At their regular monthly
meeting Monday night the village board heard from
Police Chief Dan Wellumson about a couple of scams
that were attempted on village residents.
Wellumson told the board that a local lady
received a phone call and the caller indicated to her
that it was from the IRS and that she faced arrest
that day if she did not call back to make a settlement.
Another person received an Internet message
stating that it was from a Court and that charges had
been filed against them and they needed to respond.
Both were scams, Wellumson told the board.
Another matter of fraud was brought to the
attention of the police department as well. An
employee, who had quit his job, told his former
employer that he had lost his last check and the
employer issued another to replace the first check.
But the employee cashed both checks. The matter is
now in the hands of the District Attorney, Wellumson
stated.
He also addressed the break-ins at local storage
sheds and noted last month that a rifle had been
taken. This month locks had been cut off a unit,
but nothing was taken. He also reported about the
vandalism had taken place at the bathroom facility
at Pafko Park.
In other business the board learned that they
are on track with the safe route to school grant
application.
They also learned that the Food Harvest Ministry
has outgrown the space at the Community Center
and representatives of the group appeared before the
board with tentative plans to purchase lots on Main
Street to construct a new building. But they asked
the board for the continued use of the Community
Center until some decision about a new structure
has been completed.
