Everwood Farmstead Foundation shares funds with area schools
By Kelsie Hoitomt
GLENWOOD CITY —
Everwood Farmstead is an almost
mystical place, where one can find
solace inside the old barn as they
look out over a field filled with
fireflies or while walking on the
paths through the woods as the
birds chirp and butterflies float
past.
The Farmstead, which was
previously owned by the Adams
family on County Road X is now
home to Chris Everett and Bill
Underwood.
The story of Everwood
Farmstead began in 2010 when
Chris and Bill decided they
wanted something in the country,
something with a barn.
They were looking for a retreat
from their busy life in Minneapolis
and a place where they could
create a legacy of sorts.
They searched for 18 months
before they stumbled across the
old Adams farm. The barn was
in rough shape, but the structure
was sound and they knew it
seemed to be the perfect place and
perfect location to create a feel of
“community”.
“We wanted a place where we
could sit around a big table with
our closest friends,” shared Bill.
On October 1, 2010 Chris and
Bill moved in and officially took
ownership of what was once a
dairy farm on 57 acres of land.
The barn needed to a new roof
and some serious TLC and so did
the old farmhouse. So in the spring
of 2011, they dove in and began
their upgrade.
By October of that same year, a
dear friend to Chris and Bill asked
about having a small wedding
inside their barn.
The wedding was perfect and
things went off without a hitch.
Chris and Bill always knew
they wanted to do something
special with the Farm, but the
wheels really began to turn at
that point.
Their vision of “community”
came together when they decided
this year to create a non-profit
organization, which is known
now as the Everwood Farmstead
Foundation.
Instead of weddings, they
decided to create the Everwood
Artist Series and call artists,
poets, musicians, theater groups,
etc. to their stage inside the barn.
On June 8, 2012, they hosted
their first artist event, which
featured Peter Rothstein- theater
director, Sally Wingert- performer,
Patricia Kirkpatrick- author/poet
and Aaron Gabriel-performer/
writer/director.
The idea behind the Artist
Series is to host these different
shows and raise money through
guest donations that are split
between the artists and a local
school extracurricular activity.
The first show was a big
success and in turn Chris and
Bill were able to donate $400 to
the Glenwood City High School
FFA Program.
Since that day, the Artist Series
has raised almost $6,000 for
these local school programs; the
Boyceville High School/Middle
School Art Department, the
Spring Valley High School Theater
Program, the Prairie Farm Band
and Choir Programs, the BaldwinWoodville High School Forensics
team, the WestCAP Operation
Back to School Program, the Knapp
Elementary School Reading Room,
the Glenwood City All-School
Musical, the Amery Middle School
Anti-Bullying Program, the New
Richmond High School Music
Department and the Clayton
School District Dance Enrichment
Program.
The Artist Series is what
currently takes place each summer
from May to October inside the
barn, which offers a completely
movable venue with a stage,
lighting and seats.
Along with Chris and Bill,
the Foundation has a Board
of Directors that includes six
other members with one being
Glenwood City’s own Joan Bartz.
“I am just so excited to be a part
of this collaboration to nurture
artists and create community
around their work,” said Bartz.
“Inspired by the beauty of the land
and the history of the buildings,
artists are able to be nurtured, find
retreat and provide outstanding
cultural events, which we find are
lacking in our rural area.”
In addition to the Artist Series,
the Board is working on three
additional pursuits: 1. an Artist
Retreat, 2. Artist Workshops and
3. Artist Outreach.

City on County Road X, offers a great venue for the Artist Series. —photo by Kelsie Hoitomt
The Artist Retreat would take
place in the original farmhouses
on the property. The plan is to
create a place where the artist
can stay for a period between four
to eight weeks and truly focus on
their project(s) as they enjoy the
tranquility of the land.
The Artist Workshop is exactly
that, a workshop provided by the
professional artist. The artist
will be able to use the property
and barn to teach their craft and
tickets will be made available to
the general public.
The plan for the Artist
Outreach is to encourage artists
participating in the Retreat to
present and instruct on their
craft to a local school or youth
organization.
Aside from the current Artist
Series, the Foundation hopes
that these other pursuits will be
available by 2016.
The 2014 Artist Series has now
come to a close with the final event
taking place on Saturday, October
11, which featured ARENA Dances
“The Main Street Project”.
The Board of Directors met
last week to discuss events for
2015. You can learn more about
the Foundation, future Artist
Events and how to sign up for
the invite list online at www.

Cost of a new fire station in Boyceville could be $2 million
ONE PERSON WAS SENT TO THE HOSPITAL as the result of a car vs. tractor accident on County
Road D just north of Emerald. A farm tractor being driven by Chase Klatt was attempting a left turn
into a farm field, just as a car driven by Annabel C. Bazille, 90 of Woodville was attempting to pass.
The care struck the left front wheel of the tractor with the right front of the car sending the car into
the ditch. The Glenwood City Ambulance transported Bazille. Klatt was not injured.

Glenwood Area Historical Society to present “Sincerely Ellen”
The Glenwood Area Historical
Society proudly presents the
program, “Sincerely Ellen” at the
Annual Fall Meeting on Sunday,
October 26th. Chef Willi again
will have another luncheon meal
prepared for us serving from noon
to 1:30. The program will start
at 2:00 p.m. with WWII Musical
numbers by Angela Hielmeier
and Carol Kelm’s Dance Group.
The program will be held at Holy
Cross Church Fellowship Hall,
615 Maple Street, Glenwood City,
WI and the public is welcome to
attend.
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
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.
Join us for lunch and/or this
wonderful and enjoyable program.
Coffee and drinks will also be
available after the program.
BOYCEVILLE — The FiveYear Planning Committee for
the area fire department was
presented with proposed plans
and figures for a new fire station
last week.
David Cihasky, of the Five
Bugles presented the Committee
with a “Space Needs Analysis”
that contained information about
the size of the present fire station
and what they figured was needed
for the community in a new and
large facility. Five Bugles is the
Architectural firm out of Eau
Claire that the committee chose
to do the study and put together a
plan for a new fire station.
Cihasky presented a document
that showed the present fire
station and how the equipment
was placed in that building. He
noted that trucks are parked
inside the old building with only
inches between them. He also had
a space needs summary that the
firm put together after meeting
with fire department officials to
determine what the department’s
needs are.
The document also had two
possible site locations and
three different floor plans for
a new structure. Those plans
showed a complete structure of
18,000 square feet, as compiled
from information from the fire
department to a 10,330 square
foot building that would have the
possibility of being enlarged in the
future to meet the department’s
growing needs. “You cannot afford
the 18,000 square foot building,”
Cihasky stated. The number of
square feet of space in the present
fire station is just short of 5,000.
Cihasky stated that cost of the
steel type building would run at
$130 to $160 a square foot and
noted that the 10,000 square foot
building could be done for less
than $2 million. But he stated
that those costs did not include
land cost or the cost of extending
utility service to the structure.
Cihasky was asked how much the
costs would increase each year. He
stated that he could only estimate
a three to five percent increase
but noted that at present there is
a building boom and it is hard to
get contractors to bid.
One of the sites that were
proposed was on the village’s
north side along Nordveien Drive
and the other site was on Highway
79 just south of the BP convenient
store.
Rick Monn, Chairman of the
Town of Station and Chair of the
planning committee questioned
members of the committee about
bringing these plans and costs
to the full fire board at the next
meeting or wait until they can
get cost estimates for the land
and have a better picture of the
total project cost. After much
discussion, members of the group
will try to get those costs together
before the next meeting.
Why wait was a comment
from a committee member and
Ned Hahn, a member of the Hay
River Town Board, suggested, “In
a matter of time there will be a
new fire hall, do we want to wait
until the prices goes up three to
five percent a year?”
Fire Board
Before the five-year planning
committee meeting members of
the fire board met for their regular
monthly meeting. They heard
from fire chief Brian Marlette
that they had ten runs this past
month for a total to date this year
of 65. The fire account has some
$185,813 on hand.

Motorcycle accident sends
two to hospital via Life Link
CLEAR LAKE — On Sunday, October 19 at 11:10
a.m. a crash occurred on Highway 63 approximately
50 feet south of 5th Avenue near Clear Lake.
Before the accident, a Wisconsin State Patrol
Trooper traveling southbound on Highway 63 near
the Polk/St. Croix County line observed a northbound
motorcycle traveling in excess of the posted speed.
A radar check of the motorcycle indicated a speed
of 73 mph, 18 mph above the speed limit.
Before the officer could initiate a stop, the
motorcycle driver began to pass a pickup truck
pulling a horse trailer that was just starting to turn
left into a private driveway
The cycle struck the turning trailer, which
trapped both the cycle operator and his passenger
underneath.
The driver, Nicholas C. Farrow (41) and his
passenger, Beatrice N. Gonzales, (38) both of
Minneapolis were not wearing helmets and sustained
serious life threatening injuries. Both were flown to
Regions Hospital in St. Paul by Life Link.
The driver of the truck, Donald R. Istal and his
passenger, Wayne C. Alverman were not injured.
Both were wearing seatbelts.
The Polk County Sheriff ’s Department and the
Wisconsin State Patrol are currently conducting the
investigation. The Clear Lake Fire Department and
the Amery Ambulance were also on scene.

Chief Marlette told the meeting
that the check was for $18,350 and
was divided up between the fire
department and the Ambulance
service.
Ambulance Board
Following the fire meeting, the
members of the Ambulance board
met and reviewed the financial
statement and heard the director
Matt Feeney describe how the
service is prepared for handling
suspected Ebola patients. “We
have equipment on hand that
will keep our people safe,” he
continued, “we are taking steps
to make sure our staff and
community are kept safe.” He did
concede that a chance of an Ebola
case in our area is very slim.
Feeney also noted that the
service had three new members.
One is an advance EMT and the
other two are basic EMTs. He told
about receiving a grant to allow
the service to purchase a $14,000
power lift cot. He also noted that
they are working on a $25,000
grant for the purchase of new gear,
which is clothing and turnout gear.
He also updated the meeting
on the progress of their new
quarters. “Hopefully we are in
the new building by Christmas,”
Feeney stated, and told the
meeting that the money from the
Lutheran Church will help pay for
equipment in the new structure.

broke the law accountable for their
actions. District Attorney Nodolf is
very respected in her position and
she will be missed. The citizens
of Dunn County will be getting
a quality District Attorney and
I wish her the best in her new
position.”

The declaration of Duke’s
Shirley Wind turbines as “Human
Health Hazards” follow a year
long study linking the signature
of inaudible low frequency noise
(created by the passing of the
massive turbine blades past their
supporting towers) to the homes
that have been abandoned and to
the homes where people continue
to suffer. The Board of Health
was asked to look at the study’s
raw data, the evidence linking the
sound data to the wind turbines,
peer-reviewed medical research
and the complaints of the people
living in the conditions around
Duke’s Shirley Wind project. They
looked at the facts, they listened
to the residents, they studied
the medical literature, and then
made the connection between
Shirley Wind’s operations and the
suffering in Glenmore - declaring
the wind turbines a “Human
Health Hazard”.
By LeAnn R. Ralph
WHEELER — The Wheeler
Village Board has updated the
village’s private well abandonment
ordinance.
Ordinance 2014-10 was
unanimously approved by the
Wheeler Village Board at the
October 14 meeting.
The ordinance applies to all
private water wells in Wheeler
located on properties served by the
village’s municipal water system.
According to the ordinance, all
private wells in the village located
where there is municipal water
must have been abandoned by
June 30, 1983, or no later than
90 days after connecting to the
municipal system.
Owners of property connected
to the municipal water system who
want to keep using their private
wells must apply to the village for
a permit. The permit will allow the
owner to operate the private well
for five years.
To obtain a permit for operating
the private well, property owners
must have the well and pump
inspected by a licensed well driller
or pump installer.
Water from the well must be
tested to ensure that it is safe. At
least one coliform bacteria sample
must be tested per permit.
No cross connections are
allowed between the private well
and the municipal water system.
The water used from the private
well must not discharge into a
drain leading directly to a public
sewer utility unless it is properly
metered and authorized by the
utility.
According to state law, as of
June of 2008, only licensed well
drillers or pump installers can fill
and seal unused wells.
Since 1936, state well codes
have required property owners to
fill and seal unused wells.
According to the state
Department of Natural Resources,
there are more than 250,000
unused wells in Wisconsin, and
many of the unused wells are
located on old farmsteads.
Wells that have not been properly
abandoned with impermeable
material can carry contaminants
into the groundwater.
GREEN BAY — Wisconsin’s
technical colleges are seeking
displaced workers, veterans and
individuals who want to improve
their career to enroll in training
programs to help fill a critical need
for high-skilled manufacturing
workers in Wisconsin.
The state’s 16 technical colleges
are part of a statewide grant
consortium, “Advance Wisconsin Manufacturing’’ to help train more
than 2,700 workers with highdemand manufacturing skills in
machine tool/computer numerical
control (CNC), welding, and
industrial maintenance programs.
“Manufacturing in Wisconsin
is growing and there are terrific
jobs out there for workers willing
to train and retool,’’ said Todd
Mattison, Project Manager for
Wisconsin’s Trade Adjustment
Assistance Community College
and Career Training (TAACCCT)
grant consortium, noting the
state’s manufacturing jobs pay
median salaries ranging from
$36,700 for welders to $47,900 for
industrial mechanics.
“The jobs are out there. Not
only is the state’s manufacturing
industry growing and needs
highly trained workers, but the
current workforce is nearing
retirement age,’’ Mattison said.
“We need individuals to give this
opportunity a good hard look.
Wisconsin needs highly skilled
workers if we’re going to meet
growing demand.”
Wisconsin manufacturing is
on the rebound, adding 2,300
jobs in March alone this year
and manufacturers statewide say
they could grow faster if they had
greater numbers of new skilled
manufacturing workers.
Manufacturing took an
enormous blow in the recession of
2008. But manufacturing exports
have doubled since 2000, and
manufacturing is now about a fifth
of Wisconsin’s economy, producing
$21 billion worth of goods in 2011.
“This effort is an excellent
example of the public and private
sectors working together to fill
a highly specialized need in our
economy that has great promise
for our state’s future. Colleges
have improved their programs
with the help of local employers
and created shorter-term training
geared towards employment,’’
Mattison said.
Advance Wisconsin Manufacturing is a consortium of
Wisconsin’s 16 technical colleges
who are improving and expanding
advanced manufacturing training.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s
E m p l o y m e n t a n d Tr a i n i n g
Administration has funded
100% of this project equaling
$14.9 million. This is an equal
opportunity program.

community groups that provide a
charitable service in the areas of
education, health, recreation, the
environment, arts and culture,
preserving our heritage, and basic
needs are eligible.
These grants are provided
by two CFDC funds created by
local families, philanthropist,
corporations and private
foundations for the charitable
investment in our community:
The Healthy Futures Fund and
the Common Good Fund. These
funds were created to meet
the most pressing needs in our
community. These grants provide
the essential assistance to many
local nonprofits.

home towns. Fierce Freedom aims
to educate youth of the dangers,
as well as the warning signs of
human trafficking.
CFDC also supported the
Mabel Tainter Center for the
Arts to fund a performance of
Continental Ballet Company’s The
Nutcracker for local elementary
school children. According to
Amy Reise, “Some area schools
have recently faced budget cuts
to arts education. Tight budget
restrictions have also made field
trips difficult for some area school.”
This performance will provide a
chance for approximately 250 local
school children, who otherwise
would not have access to the arts,
the experience seeing a live ballet
performance.
This year CFDC was also able
to assist Stepping Stones’ Share a
Meal program. The Share a Meal
(SAM) program provides weekend
meals in backpacks to children at
risk of hunger when school meals
are not available. Nationally 1 in
5 children are at risk for hunger.
Stepping Stones’ Project SAM is
working to alleviate child hunger.
Every Friday afternoon students
who sign up for the program
receive a bag at school full of
enough food for two breakfasts
and two lunches. Through this
program children are getting the
nutrition they need to maintain
healthy lives and perform better
in school.
“It’s wonderful that the
Community Foundation is able to
fund such a broad spectrum, from
basic needs, to art, to innovative
pilot programs” says Georgina
Tegart, Executive Director of
CFDC. Any nonprofits interested
in applying for the next grant cycle
can do so before the next deadline
of February 1st, 2015.

OFF THE EDITOR'S DESK
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I was recently reading the
article in the Press-Reporter about
Glenwood City’s wonderful school
and how proud everyone was.
Especially striking was the photo
of all the students with beautiful
hills in the background. I thought
about of all the people I have
known off both political parties
that dedicated their lives to give
us a wonderful clean environment
and outstanding schools
I was saddened thinking of that
same picture years in the future
if Glenwood City goes ahead with
its current mining agenda. Most
Christians imagine what heaven
will look like. Look at the picture
of the beautiful hills and beautiful
children and I think you might get
an idea of what God had in mind.

Fourth graders create posters to
raise funds for nursing home
By Kelsie Hoitomt
GLENWOOD CITY — The
Glenhaven Auxiliary has been
reaching out and working with
the community in an effort to raise
funds and awareness of the new
addition to the nursing home.
In their most recent endeavor,
they asked the fourth grade
students at the Glenwood City
Elementary to create posters for
their Coffee Break and Bake Sale
event.
From the students in Mrs.
Tiberg’s and Mrs. Utpahl’s class,
the auxiliary chose the top three
award winning posters by voting
at their last meeting.
The winners were Molly
Draxler- first place, Bailey Kahlersecond place and Alexandra
Peterson- third place.
Their poster can be seen
hanging on the windows at This,
That and More on Main Street.
The Coffee Break and Bake Sale
is scheduled for Friday, November
7 and Saturday, November 8 from
9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. both days
inside Glenhaven.
Aside from coffee, desserts and
some dice games, there will be
members of the Glenwood Area
Historical Society present for a
book signing.
Sixteen members from the
community have come together
to write chapters in a book titled
“Echoes of Our Past: The Way It
Was”.
The book has a variety of stories
from life back in the old days with
some that are funny, some that are
informative, some sad, and some
that are just filled with history.
The book will be autographed
and sold for $15.
Unmet demand for afterschool programs in the state is high
WA S H I N G T O N , D C —
Wisconsin has made little progress
on afterschool participation
since 2009, according to a new
household survey commissioned
by the Afterschool Alliance. The
2014 edition of America After
3PM found that demand for
afterschool programs still far
exceeds supply; the number of
children in Wisconsin who would
be enrolled in an afterschool
program if one were available
surpasses the number of children
enrolled in afterschool programs
in the state. The household survey
also found that the vast majority of
parents of children in afterschool
programs in Wisconsin report
significant benefits from their
children’s participation.
The America After 3PM
survey included 30,000 American
households and 256 in-depth
interviews in Wisconsin. It found
that 13 percent of Wisconsin
students, 121,469 children in
all, are enrolled in afterschool
programs, up from 11 percent
in 2009, when the survey was
last conducted. But 205,209
Wisconsin students are still
without adult supervision in the
afternoons. The parents of 265,984
Wisconsin children not already
in an afterschool program say
they would enroll their child if a
program were available.
“Afterschool providers and
advocates in the state are working
tirelessly to provide quality
afterschool programs to as many
children and families as resources
will allow,” said Afterschool
Alliance Executive Director Jodi
Grant. “But Wisconsin has a lot
of work ahead if it’s to keep up
with other states, and even more
if it is to provide all children with
the afterschool opportunities
they need. Most parents in the
state who want their child in a
program can’t find one, and that
needs to change. Every child who
is unsupervised after school is a
child potentially at risk. Quality
afterschool programs keep kids
safe, inspire them to learn, and
help working families. Every
Wisconsin family that needs an
afterschool program should have
access to one.”
“The unfortunate reality is that,
given current available resources,
afterschool programs in Wisconsin
can only serve a fraction of the
children and families who need
them,” said Randy Neve, Network
Lead of the Wisconsin Afterschool
Network. “We need to work on this,
and that will require committing
the resources necessary to grow
afterschool programs and create
the opportunities our children
urgently need. We must make it
a priority to turn these results
around.”
To d e t e r m i n e t h e s t a t e
rankings, a composite score was
calculated for all 50 states, plus
the District of Columbia, and
indexed against the national
average. Each state’s overall
score is based on afterschool
program participation, afterschool
programs reaching children in
need, and parents’ satisfaction
with key features of their child’s
afterschool program.
In important respects,
Wisconsin results mirror the
national survey findings, which
include:
Participation in afterschool
p r o g r a m s i s u p n a t i o n a l l y,
with 18 percent of the nation’s
schoolchildren in programs (10.2
million children), up from 15
percent in 2009 (8.4 million
children) and 11 percent in 2004
(6.5 million children).
At the same time, unmet
demand has increased. The
parents of nearly 20 million
children (19.4 million) say they
would enroll their child in an
afterschool program if a program
were available to them. That
means that the existing supply of
afterschool programs is meeting
barely one-third of demand.
Demand is greatest among
African American, Hispanic
and low-income families. Both
participation in afterschool and
unmet demand for afterschool
are much higher among children
from low-income households than
higher-income households, and
higher among African American
and Hispanic children than white
children. The parents of 60 percent
of the nation’s African American
children would enroll their child in
a program if one were available, as
would the parents of 57 percent of
Latino children. The same is true
of 35 percent of white children.
Despite increased participation
in afterschool, the number of
children unsupervised in the
hours after school remains high.
Across the nation, more than
800,000 elementary students,
and 2.2 million middle school
students spend time alone and

I have written about my involvement with the Minnesota Newspaper
Museum at the Minnesota State Fair. At the museum, we print a weekly
newspaper, the way it was done back in the 1930s using letterpress
equipment and hot lead to form the type used in printing. It is a method
that was abandoned by newspapers in the 1960s and ’70s.
In our new quarters, in the 4-H building on the fairgrounds' north
side, we had some 17,000 visitors. This was about 10,000 less than we
had been averaging at our old building on the west side. The fair spent
$15 million to rebuild that side of the fairground calling it the West End
Market. In that rebuilding, we lost our old building that looked like a
small town weekly newspaper office.
The museum is a project of the Minnesota Newspaper Foundation.
The Board of Directors, of which I am a member, engaged a firm to do
a survey during the state fair. Questions asked of visitors included if
they like the museum, would they visit again? How do newspapers
impact your daily life and would you like to learn more about your First
Amendment rights?
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution contains the
five basic rights that we as citizens of this country enjoy. The surveyor
conducted 514 surveys, some during their visit to the museum and
others done away from the museum site.
I received the report of the survey last month and was very pleased
with its results. Only one person was “not satisfied” with our exhibit.
But one thing disturbed me and that was that when asked about the
First Amendment, thirty-nine percent of the visitors were not interest
in the topic and another four percent were unsure.
The entire 46-word of the First Amendment is displayed at the
museum. It is written on a banner that covers the entire back wall of
the museum. It is our duty, as newspaper people to keep people informed
about their rights and protect them.
It is ghastly to me that forty-three percent of those survey, are not
interested in the topic of the First Amendment. No wonder that we as
citizens of this country have allowed our government to trample our
rights, and we sit by watching our government grow and gobble up our
freedom.
Here is the First Amendment. “Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a
redress of grievances.”
The first ten amendments of the Constitution are called the “Bill of
Rights.” The tenth Amendment states, “The powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution, not prohibited by it to the States,
are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
I would say, people rise up and strike down those politicians that have
burden us with rules, regulations, high taxes and give away programs
and taken away our power to determine what is best for us.

unsupervised during the after
school hours. In all, 11.3 million
children — one in five — are
unsupervised in the afternoons.
Parental satisfaction with
afterschool remains high. Nine in
ten parents (89 percent) say they
are satisfied with their child’s
afterschool program.
Support for public funding of
afterschool programs remains
strong. More than four in five
parents (84 percent) report
that they favor public funding
for afterschool opportunities
in communities that have few
opportunities for children and
youth. Support is bipartisan, as
well, with 91 percent of parents
who identify as Democrats, 86
percent Independents and 80
percent of Republicans favoring
public funding for programs.
Parents across all geographic
regions support public funding for
afterschool programs.

Nick and Sara Ohman to join UW-Stout Athletic Hall of Fame Saturday
MENOMONIE — Ohman is
a name that conjures memories
of sporting excellence and state
championships for many in Glenwood City and throughout the
area.
Brothers Nick and Rob Ohman helped lead Glenwood City
to state basketball and football
championships, respectively. A
pedigree that was passed down
to them from their father Roger,
who was a football standout for
the Hilltoppers back in the late
1960s and 1970.
Nick Ohman, a four-sport letterwinner who graduated from
Glenwood City High School in
2001, took his stellar achievements and naturalborn skills to
the next level when he enrolled
at the UW-Stout and became one
the football program’s most accomplished quarterbacks over
the next four years.
Those achievements have
earned Nick Ohman long-standing recognition and induction
into the 2014 UW-Stout Athletic
Hall of Fame.
There will also be another
Ohman receiving the same honors when a record-setting five
athletes are enshrined into the
Stout’s Athletic Hall of Fame this
Saturday, October 25 - his wife
Sara.
Sara (Kahl) Ohman, a native of Menomonie, was an accomplished Blue Devil in her
own right. Kahl was a four-year
starter of the women’s basketball
team and helped lead the team to
a conference championship in her
sophomore year.
“Being inducted into the Stout
Hall of Fame is a culmination
of hard work, commitment, and
mentoring,” wrote Nick Ohman
in an emailed response to the Tribune Press Reporter earlier this
week.
“This wouldn’t be possible if it
weren’t for my family’s support
and excellent coaching I’ve been
fortunate to have throughout my
life,” added Nick. “I’m honored to
be a part of UW-Stout history and
join many other outstanding athletes in the Hall of Fame.”
Sara Kahl Ohman concurred,
writing, “It’s an honor to be inducted into the Stout Hall of
Fame. I can’t believe that after all
the hard work and many hours I
spent in the gym that I would be
awarded by a Hall of Fame induction.”
Nick And Sara Ohman are the
first married couple to enter the
UW-Stout Hall of Fame at the
same time. Stout has one other
married couple, gymnasts Terri
Traczyk and Mark Rezac, who
were inducted in different years.
It’s a feat that makes this
honor even more special to the
couple.
“It will forever be a special
memory for us that we will be
inducted together,” said Sara.
“Stout already holds a special
place in our hearts because that
is where we met. Now we are being inducted into an athletic hall
of fame together.”
“Sara and I met when she
was playing basketball and I
was working for the event staff
at Stout,” recalled Nick. “I was
sweeping the floors at half time
and running the scoreboard for
the men and women’s basketball
games.”
“It is very special that Sara
and I are being inducted together
especially since we were dating
for the majority of our careers
at Stout,” added Nick. “We were
able to watch each other’s games
and see how much work and sacrifice it took to be successful.”
The 2014 UW-Stout Athletic
Hall of Fame class features early 21st century athletes whose
names still set prominently towards the top of their respective
sports’ record books.

NICK OHMAN
Joining the Ohmans in the
2014 Class are: football players
Luke Bundgaard (2000-03) and
Ben Knepper (2000-03) members
of the 2000 WIAC championship
team and Jeff Dotson, the goalkeeper for the Blue Devil hockey
team from 2000-04.
Retired UW-Stout Chancellor,
Charles W. Sorensen, will receive
the UW-Stout Athletic Distinguished Service Award.
Nick Ohman was one of the
most complete quarterbacks in
UW-Stout football history stated a news release from Stouts’
Sports Information Department
that announced the 2014 Hall of
Fame Inductees this past June.
Nick Ohman was as comfortable running the ball as he was
throwing the ball.
Ohman, a second team AllAmerican and a unanimous AllWIAC selection his senior year,
threw for 6401 career yards,
completing 479-of-936 passes
and rushed for 1925 yards. With
a 25-13 record, Ohman was the
winningest quarterback in school
history.
During his senior year, Ohman
was the team’s leading rusher,
gaining 892 yards on 174 carries
and four touchdowns. Five times
during his senior year, Ohman
recorded 100-yard plus rushing
days, accomplishing the feat seven times in his career.
Ohman, a four-year starter,
played in 38 games over his career
and either completed a touchdown pass or ran for a touchdown
in 35 games. Sixteen times, Ohman threw for more than 100 yards
in a game and eight times threw
for three or more touchdowns.
Ohman was selected as the
WIAC offensive player of the
week ten times over his career
and four-times earned national
player of the week honors.
In a 31-21 win over nationally
ranked UW-La Crosse in 2004,
Ohman collected 472 yards of total offense, completing 30-of-47
passes for 347 yards and two TDs
and rushed for 125 yards and a
score.
Upon graduation, Ohman was
the Blue Devils’ fifth all-time
leading rusher and is still today
the third all-time passing leader.
He threw for 56 touchdowns, currently third on the all-time list.
“One memory that stands out
was beating UW-Eau Claire under the lights in 2002 before a
sellout crowd to witness the “war
on 94” battle,” said Nick of one of
his best on field memories
“My second memory was playing against my brother Rob and
UW-River Falls in 2001. My parents had shirts made that were
half Stout and half River Falls.”
Sara Kahl Ohman was well
known for her prowess on the
hardwood.
A four-year starter for the
Blue Devils women’s basketball
team from 2000-04, Sara Kahl
played in 106 games over her career and scored in 105 of them.
She earned first team All-WIAC
and third team all-region honors
during her senior season, a year
that saw her lead Stout in scoring
(14.0) and rebounds (5.7).
Kahl ranked fourth in league
play in scoring, second in steals
(2.89) and 13th in rebounds. As a
senior, Kahl led the Blue Devils
in scoring in 13 games and scored
a career-high 25 points against
Kalamazoo College.
Kahl scored her 1000th career
point and went on to finish her
career with 1119 points, currently 11th on the UW-Stout all-time
scoring list. Her 469 rebounds
is currently 13th on the all-time
list.
The Ohmans both acknowledged their families influence
during their formative years as a
big part of their future successes.
“My parents and my two older brothers,” stated Sara when
asked about her early influences
on her athletic career.
“My parents were always very
involved and excited about our
athletics. My brothers were very
rough and competitive with me,”
she added.
Nick’s biggest mentors and influences naturally came from his
dad Roger and older brother Rob.
“My dad and my brother were
the biggest influences on my athletic career growing up,” Nick
wrote.
“My dad was always there to
play catch with us, hit ground
balls or make fun of us for dropping balls that hit us in the
hands. He would always ask us,
‘Did it hit you in a bad spot!’”
“My brother was three years
older than me so I always had the
benefit, or pain and suffering, of
playing against bigger and better competition which made me
better and fueled my competitive
side,” added Nick.
Nick’s competitive spirit was
honed early on and came to the
forefront during his high school
days in Glenwood City. Ohman
earned 14 letters in all including
four each in football, basketball,
baseball, and a pair in track and
field (which he competed at only
in his freshman and sophomore
years).
In his senior year (2000-2001),
Nick led the Glenwood City
football team to an 11-2 record,
a second-place conference finish (behind Spring Valley) and
an appearance in the level four
(state semifinals) playoffs. That
fall, Ohman passed for 946 yards
and eight touchdowns and ran
for 1,591 yards with another 25
touchdowns.
That level of performance
throughout the year earned Nick
the All-Northwest Football Player of the Year Award.
That winter, Ohman helped
the Hilltoppers claim their first
and only state basketball title
with impressive wins over Kenosha Saint Joseph in the semifinals and Weyauwega-Fremont
in the championship to take gold
in Division 3. Glenwood City
finished the year 26-1, the best
mark of any Toppers basketball
team. Ohman was named to the
state’s all-tournament team.
Sarah Kahl Ohman enjoyed
much success in high school ath-
letics for Menomonie, where she
played volleyball, basketball,
track and softball. She surpassed
the 1,000 point career points
mark as a high school basketball
player.
The Ohmans both graduated
in 2006 (Sara in the spring and
Nick in the winter after playing
arena football in Green Bay for
part of the year) with degrees in
business management.
The couple were married in
July of 2007 and currently reside
in Fargo, North Dakota where
Nick has been a general manager of a commercial tire center
for Bauer Built since January of
2007.
Sara worked for three years as
a recruiter for Thrivent Financial
following graduation. She is now
a stay-at-home mother for their
three young daughters: Jordan,
6; Lauren, 3; and Corin, eight
months.
The couple will be returning to
the area Thursday in preparation
for their induction into the Hall
of Fame.
Nick said his plans include
a little hunting on his parents’,
Roger and Joyce Ohman’s, property.
The couple said several family
members and friends including
Sara’s parents Roger and Judy
Kahl will be in attendance for the
honors.
The Hall of Fame festivities are
scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 25.
The inductees will be introduced
at halftime of the UW-Stout/UWPlatteville football game, which
will get underway at 2 p.m. at

Government uses Ebola scare to trample Americans’ freedoms
submitted by the Citizens’ Council for
Health Freedom
ST. PAUL, MN—For much of the
summer, the Ebola epidemic seemed like
a far-away problem without much threat
here at home.
But now, a Liberian man who flew to
Texas to visit family has been diagnosed
with the deadly disease, and fears have
escalated.
The first instinct is to protect
Americans from the disease, but in doing
so, their personal freedoms and rights
may be compromised, says Twila Brase,
president and co-founder of Citizens’
Council for Health Freedom (CCHF,
www.cchfreedom.org), a Minnesotabased national organization dedicated to
preserving patient-centered health care
and protecting patient and privacy rights.
“While we want to do everything
possible to control this disease,” Brase
said, “it’s a violation of Americans’ rights
to require them, for example, to submit
blood samples if they aren’t exhibiting
any symptoms. States have many hidden
powers, and most residents don’t even
know the power the government has
over them. These powers have greatly
impacted at least one woman and her
family in Dallas. How could they impact
the rest of us?”
According to the New York Times, the
42-year-old man who flew to Texas had
helped transport a pregnant woman with
Ebola to a hospital in Liberia, where she
was turned away. After traveling to the
U.S., the man sought treatment at a Texas
hospital on September 25 when he began
feeling ill, but was given antibiotics and
sent home, even though he told medical
staff he had recently visited West Africa.
He returned to the hospital a few days
later—much sicker.
Now, health officials are monitoring
at least 50 people who have come in
direct or indirect contact with the man.
Four of his close family members are
being quarantined in their home with
a policeman on guard, with no visitors
allowed until October 19. Twelve to
18 others had direct contact with the
patient, including five children; therefore,
students in Dallas-Fort Worth schools are
also being watched. Everyone monitored
thus far are not showing any symptoms.
The state has the power to quarantine
and monitor these citizens because of
the State Emergency Health Powers Act,
proposed by the federal government and
passed by Texas in 2002. After 9/11, 40
states passed the act that allows health
officials to assume control of people,
property, communications, health care and
more during a public health emergency.
CCHF has created a special web page
detailing states’ powers regarding health
emergencies at governmenthealthpowers.
us. The site outlines the laws within each
state, as well as people’s rights regarding
quarantine and isolation.
The woman being quarantined has
said she feels frustrated and fearful about
being locked in her apartment with the
sheets and towels that the man had used.
He vomited, sweated and had diarrhea
while at her residence, but until yesterday
cleanup efforts were delayed because the
hired cleaning company did not have the
proper permits and was turned away by
authorities at the door of the apartment.
Ebola is spread through bodily fluids.
A draft of the controversial Model State
Emergency Health Powers Act (MEHPA)
was issued just two months after 9/11 but
was in the works for three years.
“The U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services may have been looking
for a national crisis to impose health
powers on Americans,” Brase said. “Our
research has shown that a professor
was paid $300,000 a year for up to three
years to create, among other things, the
model act—long before the events of
9/11. It authorizes ‘the collection of data
and records, the control of property, the
management of persons, and access to
communications.’ Beyond that, before the
health powers acts were enacted, most if
not every state had authority to enforce
controls on people with major infectious
illnesses, for example tuberculosis. States
already had authority to contain serious
diseases but the act was a way for the
federal government to be a part of the
controls.”
Powers of the act are extensive and can
include: required reporting of diagnoses,
lab tests and medications; enforcement by
the National Guard; quarantine for the
not-yet-sick, either at home or at other
facilities; isolation for the infected or those
suspected of illness; examinations, tests,
vaccinations and treatments without
consent; the possible confiscation of guns,
vehicles or property; the power of police

to use firearms to impose quarantine and
isolation; and state control of hospitals
and medical supplies.
“If Ebola spreads, persuasion and
prudence will be the most effective
g o v e r n m e n t p o w e r, ” B r a s e s a i d .
“Americans respond well to information
and poorly to massive shows of government
force, as police have discovered in
Ferguson, Missouri. In Liberia, we saw
photos of troops shooting people who were
fleeing quarantine because they had no
food. This is not the kind of ‘health power’
we need.”
Several agencies have expressed
concerns over the act, including the
ACLU, the Free Congress Foundation, the
American Legislative Exchange Council,
the Human Rights Campaign and the
Health Privacy Project.
As the Ebola watch continues in the
U.S., Brase said that citizens should
research what their state government
is empowered to do under a “public
health emergency” and talk to their state
legislators about what the law could mean
to Americans’ freedoms, rights and safety
if Ebola spreads to other states.

Conference title returns to Glenwood City after nine years
By Kelsie Hoitomt
BOYCEVILLE — The
temperature was in the 70’s and
the sun was shining last Thursday
for the Dunn-St. Croix Conference
Cross Country meet, which helped
make the day even more special
for the Glenwood City girls’ team
as they took the top honors for the
first time in nine years.
“Hard work, confidence and
mental preparation really got the
job done this season,” said coach
Matthew Schutz. “It’s what they
have been working towards since
they started in sixth grade. Even
being without Jennifer Kopacz
and Maya Petersen running this
season, the freshman, along with
the veterans really stepped up.”
The Lady Toppers finished with
a total of 37 points between the
seven of them after four of the
runners placed in the top ten.
That was a clear blow out ahead
of second, which went to Colfax
with a 63.
Since 1997, the girls’ team has
only won two conference titles
with the last one in 2005 and then
again in 2003. The boys’ team took
the title in 2006.
On the course, sophomore
Taylor Drinkman crossed the
finish line first ahead of 48 other
runners with a time of 20:53.0.

were side by side in the first lap
of the 5K and then O’Brien settled
in and finished eighth with a time
of 21:29.3.
Senior Kaitlin Konder followed
shortly after her in ninth with a
time of 21:41.3.
There was a slight break and
then freshman Elizabeth Wink hit
the finish after 23:08.9, which put
her in 20th.
Seven places down from her in
sixth for the team and 27th overall
was Macie Rasmussen with a
24:14.5 and then Emma Scholler
came in as the anchor at 31st with
a 24:44.7.
Sophomore Tia Carlson also
ran the course for the Topper
team, however she did not count
as one of the seven scores. She
placed 49th with a time of 37:39.7.
The boys’ team finished sixth
out of eight conference schools
with a total of 142 points. First
went to St. Croix Central with a
score of 48.
Despite the placement, the boys
had a strong showing as a team
with their top seven all finishing
in the top 62 out of a total of 95
runners.
Riley Schutz finished 17th
overall and first for the Topper
boys with a time of 19:09.7 for
his varsity debut at a Conference
meet.
Jack Kremer followed two
places behind in 19th with a time
of 19:16.9 and then it was fellow
junior Matthew Wink in third for
the team and 23rd overall with a
time of 19:36.7.
Andrew Bauman, also a junior
was next in 39th with a time of
20:14.7 and then Corey Klatt
followed in 49th with a 20:45.5.

Hilltoppers finish season at home with loss to Cardinals
By Kelsie Hoitomt
GLENWOOD CITY — With
two consecutive State appearances
behind them and almost the entire
starting lineup gone to graduation,
the Topper football team had big
shoes to fill this 2014 season.
The young team led by six
seniors; Todd Petersen, Jake
Hierlmeier, Billy Norenberg,
Christian Smith, Logan Smith
and Troy Hall, finished 2-4 in
the Dunn-St. Croix this year
with their final game played at
home against the Spring Valley
Cardinals.
The Toppers needed a win
in order to make a playoff
appearance, but the outcome was
a 35-8 Cardinal victory. This was
the first time since 2011 that the
Toppers didn’t make the playoffs.
The game started with the
Toppers receiving the kick off,
but they were off the field in three
plays.
Nick Schone punted the ball
away and it landed out of bounds
near the 50 yard line. From there
Remington Schneider threw a
pass to Sean Borgerding and he
was brought down at the one yard
line.
Jed Schlegel took the handoff
and ran the ball into the end
zone for the first touchdown of
the game. The extra point was no
good, but the Cardinals were still
up 6-0 at 9:49.
Jake Nelson caught the ball
on the kick and carried it about
15 yards to the 30. Jake O’Meara
had a burst up the middle for a
seven yard gain and then Nathan
Mrdutt picked up the extra yards
for the first down.
From their own 43 Norenberg
ran to the 49, but soon they were
facing fourth down and five yards
to go.
The Toppers decided to punt the
ball away, which put the Cardinals
on the eight for their second
possession of the game.
The Cardinals were only able
to bring the ball out to the their
own 25 yard line before they were
forced to punt themselves.
The Toppers took over on the 47
and were up to the Cardinals’ 41
after a pass was completed from
Schone to Hierlmeier.
Mrdutt ran the ball two times
to give the Toppers a first down
at the 26. They were making
progress with Mrdutt runs before
Schneider stepped in front of a
pass and intercepted the ball.
The interception led the
Cardinals to their second
touchdown of the game after
Schneider connected with Schlegel
for a huge play that set them up
on the 16.
From there, Schneider tossed
the ball up to Borgerding for the
touchdown with the clock at zero.
Schlegel ran in the two-point
conversion to put the score at 14-0
at the end of the first quarter.
Nelson ran the ball to the 33
on the return to start the Toppers’
drive. They moved the ball to
the 45 on a pass from Schone to
Norenberg.
Mrdutt then took the hand off
and broke through several tackles
to give the Toppers the first down
on the 28.
Mrdutt ran the ball to the 20,
which set the Toppers in motion
at third down and one yard to go.
However, their one yard turned
into a big loss after the snap
was fumbled and recovered by
Norenberg at the 34.
The Toppers decided to go for
the fourth down conversion, but
the pass fell incomplete so the
Cardinals took over on downs at
the 34.
Schneider appeared to be
greased up with butter as he
broke through several tackles the
majority of the night, which gave
the Cardinals big gains.
In over four minutes, they
moved the ball from the 34 all the
way down the field to the nine yard
line despite a flag and a fumbled
snap.
Schneider threw the ball to
Logan Newton for a touchdown
pass at 3:49 and then Devin
Larson booted the ball through the
uprights for the extra point to put
the score at 21-0.
The Toppers following drive
started at their own 33 and ended
at the 40 after an interception was
thrown.
The Cardinals took over from
the 47 and after two first downs
and four plays they were at the
Toppers’ eight yard line.
With under a minute left to play
in the half, Newton ran the ball in
for another Cardinal touchdown.
The kick was no good so the score
read 27-0.
The Cardinals received the
kick to start the second half of the
game. The Toppers’ defense held
Newton on the line for a loss and
then no gain, which brought up
fourth down and 13.
This forced the Cardinals to
punt, which put the Toppers in
motion on the 28.
O’Meara had a three yard gain
and then Mrdutt picked up four to
put the ball at the 35. With it third
down and four to go, O’Meara tried
to run the ball but was stopped on
the line.
The Toppers set up in punt
formation, but Schone faked the
kick and O’Meara took off with the
ball. However the conversion play
was no good so the Cardinals took
over on downs at the 35.
Schneider ’s first pass fell
incomplete, but he fired back with
a throw to Borgerding that gave
them a first down.
They were backed up five yards
on another flag, but Schneider
again came through with another
pass completion to Schlegel that
was good for a 27 yard touchdown
reception.
Schlegel took the handoff for
the two-point conversion, which
put the score at 35-0 with just
under six minutes left to play in
the third quarter.
The Toppers were forced to punt
on their following possession, but
they regained some momentum
after the Cardinals fumbled the
ball.
The fumble put the Toppers’
offense back on the field at the 50
yard line with 30 seconds left in
the quarter.
Schone went to the air
twice with both passes falling
incomplete. The fourth quarter
started with the Toppers at third
down and ten to go from the 50.

They decided to go for the
conversion after another pass was
uncaught, but Mrdutt’s run was
just inches short of the first down
so the Cardinals got the ball on
downs near the 40.
The Cardinals went three and
out and were forced to punt, which
put the Toppers’ junior varsity
offense on the field.
Jake Kopacz took the handoff
from Jake Logghe and picked up a
first down. Then Logghe connected
with Marcus Ullom for a first down
reception that put the Toppers on
the 18.
Logghe held onto the ball for
the keeper to put the ball on
the three. From there, Darian
Multhauf pushed the ball into the
end zone for the Toppers first score
of the game.
Kopacz followed with the two-
point conversion run to put the
score at 35-8 with 1:45 left in the
game.
The Cardinals received the kick
and finished out the game with the
ball near mid field.
The Cardinals finished with
190 receiving yards and 194
rushing. Schneider completed
eight passes out of 11 attempts
with two of them going to Schlegel
for a total of 84 yards.
Schneider himself was their
leading rusher with 74 yards on
nine carries.
On the Topper team, they
rushed for a total of 150 yards with
Mrdutt leading the way. He had
69 yards on 11 carries as well as
ten receiving yards on two carries.
Kopacz followed in rushing
with 33 yards on two carries
and then it was Nelson with 17
yards on three carries. Norenberg
finished his senior year with 12
yards on seven carries.
Then it was Multhauf with
nine yards on three carries and
O’Meara finished with six yards
on five carries.
Logghe also had four yards of
rushing for the team and he threw
11 yards while at quarterback.
As starting quarterback,
Schone finished with 40 yards
on six completions. Norenberg
was the leader in receptions with
12 yards. Hierlmeier and Ullom
followed 11 yards each and then
it was Petersen with six.
The Toppers beat Elk Mound
and Mondovi to finish 2-4 in the
conference and they went 4-9
overall this year.

Lady Hilltoppers finish 1-7 in
conference after loss to Panthers
By Kelsie Hoitomt
GLENWOOD CITY — The
Glenwood City volleyball team
finished out their Dunn-St. Croix
Conference season with a loss to
St. Croix Central last Tuesday.
The gym was quiet in the first
set as the Panthers quickly shot
ahead by three points before
Mikaela Voeltz landed an ace from
the back row.
The Toppers continued to
trail by three despite a kill from
Hannah Ludtke and a couple solo
blocks from Becca Moll.
Jenesa Klinger landed an ace
to put the score at 13-16, but the
Panthers pulled away to a six
point lead before a time out was
called.
Sam Holldorf landed an ace
to put the score at 14-21, but the
ball quickly turned over to the
Panthers and they soon won the
set 25-15.
The second set started right
where the first left off with the
Toppers trailing 1-5 before Klinger
landed two consecutive aces to put
some fire into her teammates.
The momentum seemed to
fade as they trailed 4-13 and then
soon it was 15-24 after a kill from
Klinger and Moll.
With it one point away from
victory, the Toppers came alive and
started playing like it was their
last game ever.
If a pass was short, they dove
for it and made a play. If the ball
was out of bounds, they scrambled
and set up the ball for the kill.
They were everywhere and playing
aggressive, which moved the score
up from 15-24 to 21-24.
Voeltz’s senior status truly
shined through in this set as she
served the ball eight straight
times and kept the ball in play
with dig after dig.
The ball took a bad bounce and
was sent sailing out of bounds for
the final point and score of 25-21.
The third set had the Toppers
leading 5-3 and then 6-5 with a
kill from Voeltz. They led by three
points before the set tied at 13’s
and then the game was over after
BLUE THUNDER DIVISION 1 — Back row (L-R): Coach Lisa Berends, Matt Main, Ricky Klatt, Jason
Unser, Dan Kehren, Tom Graese and Corey Wheeler. Fourth row: Mitchell McGee, Brett Graese, Jake
Wood, Andrew Blaser, Braiden Kehren, Esdyn Swenby, Vinnie Wheeler and Taden Holldorf. Third row:
Mitchell Main, Ben Klatt, Cody Klasse, Wyatt Unser, Tucker Augeson, Zach Mortel, Tucker McGee,
Jacob Hager and Logan Klatt. Second row: Anaka Eliason, Sadie Stansbury, Kiley Leduc, Emily Tews,
Jayda Howard, Lydia Bennett, Brooklyn Link, Opal Voeltz. Front row: Lillie McGee and Chloe Veen.
Missing: Blake Fayerweather, Carson Lindstrom, Jenna McCarthy and Coach Dean Fayerweather.

errors put the Panthers ahead
13-19 and then 14-21 before it all
ended at 25-16.
The three-set loss put the
Toppers at 1-7 in the D-SC this
season with their one victory over
Elmwood on September 25.

THE ROCKPILE
by Leaker
On the Hometown and Town and Country Mens
leagues, this is the last week of the first quarter
already. Hometown league has a barnburner going
as there are four teams within four points of taking
the first quarter honors. Leaker's is leading with
81.5 points, Leaker's II has 80.5 points, Obermueller
Trucking 78.5 points and the Barn Board right there
also with 77 points. Should be a fun shoot-out!!
On the Town and Country league, the Pump
House has a 13 point lead, so unless they really fall
to pieces, the Pump House should lock up the first
quarter honors.
On the Thursday Nite Ladies league, "Clear
Lake Self Storage" won the first quarter with a
commanding 100.5 point win. The next closest team
was Hager Construction with 78 points.
The Men's Senior League shows Leaker's on top
of the heap after five weeks with Global Genetics
running in second. Doug Standaert is top dog on
the average tote board with a 198 average. Rick
Holmen is next with 188 and Joe Walz is third with
a 186 average.
Mike Wink picked up a couple tough splits last
week as Wink converted the 2-4-10 and 4-6-7-10
on Tuesday Nite Hometown League. Brad Berends
rolled over the 6-7-10 split. Good job fellas!!

Burial Plans
A man and woman were married for many years.
Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could
be heard deep into the night. The old man would
shout, "When I die, I will dig my way up and out of
the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest
of your life!"
Neighbors feared him. The old man liked the fact
that he was feared. Then one evening, he died when
he was 98. After the burial, her neighbors, concerned
for her safety, asked, "Aren't you afraid that he may
indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and
haunt you for the rest of your life?"
The wife said, "Let him dig. I had him buried
upside down...and I know he won't ask for directions."

A column by Mark Walters
Adventures on Wisconsin’s Youth Deer Hunt
Hello friends,
This weeks column is about
hunting whitetail deer in
Wisconsin during this states
recent Youth Deer Hunt, which
was open for 10-15 year old
hunters.
Friday, October 10th
High 57, low 30
Ben Gruber was a paramedic,
down in Middleton, when he
sent me an email back in 2009
and said he was interested
in joining KAMO (Kids And
Mentors Outdoors). Now Ben
and his wife Angie and their oneyear- old daughter Addy live on
the farm that Angie grew up on
near Marshfield.
Ben is now KAMO’s Vice
President and brings a lot to the
table when it comes to running
an organization such as KAMO.
My daughter, Selina, and I
were fortunate enough to have
the Gruber’s let us camp and
Selina hunt on their 130-acres
of paradise. Tonight after the
New Lisbon “Rockets” controlled
the Necedah “Cardinals” in the
Cardinals homecoming game,
Selina and I arrived at a camp
that we had built the night
before and scouted the land
with Ben.
The Gruber’s farm is made
of forest and CRP fields and
Ben had set us up in a two
person ladder stand overlooking
a beautiful creek in an the woods
next to one of the fields. This
weekend Selina would be using
both her bow and her 30:06.
Selina and I watched a
beautiful sunrise and really
enjoyed ourselves as we always
do on our outdoor experiences.
Meanwhile, along the
Mississippi River near Desoto,
13-year-old Jackson Wemette
who has been a very active
KAMO Kid with the Coulee
Chapter (LaCrosse) was hunting
with his mentor Scott Kelly
when a massive 11-point buck
made the mistake of stepping in
front of Jackson’s sites.
Last year Jackson harvested
a 7-pointer and this year he put
a tag on the big guy, I spoke
with his mom Cindy who is busy
raising four kids and she is just
thrilled with what KAMO is
doing for her son.
Selina and I did not see a deer
until walking back to camp and
then we saw three really girthy
doe in a neighbor’s alfalfa field
but we could only watch.
This afternoon we worked
the wind and hunted a spot
where, on opening day of bow
season, Angie Gruber picked out
a spot to hunt and harvested a
beautiful 8-point buck with her
first hunt of the bow season.
Our hunt resulted in no
deer being seen but over in
Juneau County Aaron Bigalke,
This week’s column is brought to you by:
Jct. Hwy. 170 & 79 in Boyceville
Open 5 a.m. Daily • Phone: 715-643-3226
7c
who is the Vice President of
the Meadow Valley Chapter
of KAMO, was mentoring
13-year-old Connor Larson who
harvested a beautiful doe.
As is always the case, Selina
and I made the best out of every
experience of which some result
in bountiful harvests and some
do not.
Sunday, October 12th
High 56, low 29
Selina and I were back on the
creek bottom this morning and
though we saw two deer that
were out of range on the CRP
field, our hunt was basically
forced relaxation which we are
both very good at.
During the middle of the day
we took a healthy nap, listened
to the Packers pull a trick out of
their hat on the Dolphins (which
took the charge out of my truck
battery) and then relocated near
the alfalfa field.
My buddy, Dwain Johnson,
who is a member of the Baraboo
River Chapter of KAMO was
mentoring his granddaughter
Audra near New Haven. These
two have been trying hard for
two years to get 11-year-old
Audra her first deer.
This afternoon, persistence
and good mentoring got the
job done when Audra shot a
beautiful 8-pointer
Back in Juneau County, Aaron
Bigalke was hunting with his
13-year-old niece “Tess” when a
9-point buck stepped into range
and will not be enjoying the rut
thanks to some good shooting
by Tess.
The stars were not lined up
for Selina to come even close
to a shot this weekend despite
hunting a beautiful property and
never giving up.
No cares here, the next
adventure is never far away!

Pair of third-quarter scores propel
Bulldogs to big win over Vikings
COLFAX — These Bulldogs
are scrappers, a true credit to
their namesake.
Despite making just one brief
foray into the opposition’s territory during the first half of play
in Colfax last Friday, Boyceville
found itself locked in a scoreless
tie at halftime thanks to a stalwart defense that bent but refused to yield a single point.
Boyceville finally discovered
its offense when the second half
got underway. The Bulldogs, who
were thoroughly beaten in most
of the statistical categories, came
out on top in the only numbers
that truly count - the scoreboard.
Boyceville scored touchdowns on
its first two possessions of the
third quarter and then held off
the homestanding Vikings of Colfax for a well earned 14-0 shut
out victory in the regular season
football finale October 17.
“Our Defensive coaches put
together a great scheme for the
Colfax game using multiple players trying to keep guys fresh,”
Boyceville head coach Brian Roemhild said.
“We knew going into the game
that this was going to be another challenge for us and the kids
stepped it up.”
“Our defense was on the field
a lot and I am very proud of them
for stepping up to the moment,”
continued Roemhild. “We talked
about making big plays when the
situation called for it, and we had
some kids that made huge plays
throughout the game. Our goal
was to shut Colfax out, and the
kids accomplished their goal.”
Once-beaten Colfax had entered the game with a chance
to earn a share of the Dunn-St.
Croix championship with a win
and a St. Croix Central loss. Instead, Colfax was unable to put
the ball in the end zone once despite five trips past Boyceville’s
30 yard line, two of which ended
inside the ten and finished in a
three-way tie for second with the
Bulldogs and Spring Valley each
with conference marks of 4-2.
St. Croix Central, 8-0, captured the crown with a 51-32 win
over Elk Mound to finish the regular and conference season without a loss.
The victory proved to be important for Boyceville as it earned
the Bulldogs a home game for the
first round of the WIAA football
playoffs that will get underway
this Friday, October 24.
The Bulldogs, seeded fourth in
its sectional, will host Marawood
Conference member Marathon,
the fifth seed, in a Division 6,
level one contest slated for 7 pm
Friday at Evenson Field. With a
first-round win, Boyceville would
likely face top seeded and unbeaten Athens in level 2.
Colfax ended up in the Division 5 field and will also host a
game this Friday when they play
Chequamegon.
Boyceville got off to a somewhat inauspicious start against
the Colfax.
The Vikings received the
game’s opening kick and parlayed it into a first down. But the
Bulldogs’ defense, which came up
big all night long, forced a short
punt.
Boyceville took possession for
the first time at its own 37. A
10-yard run by Logan McAbeeThomas moved Boyceville near
midfield but quarterback Hunter
Anderson fumbled during a keeper and the Vikings’ Jon Hayton
recovered at the Colfax 49.
The Vikings hoped to parlay
the turnover into points.
Colfax quarterback Jarrod
Rudi threw for eight yards to
Jacob Steinke on a second down
play following an opening run of
four yards by 1,000-yard rusher Jeremiah Wait. The Vikings
would run four straight times
with Wait carrying three times
for seven yards and Andrew Adix
had a five yard run.
Following a defensive offside
on the Bulldogs, Wait ran for nine
more yards to the Boyceville 12.
Adix gained four on a first-down
run but drive stalled and ended
at the Boyceville seven as a pair
of Rudi passes fell incomplete
and Wait gained just one yard on
a third-down rush.
The Bulldogs were able to put
some distance between themselves and their goal line with a
trio of first downs that the consumed the remainder of the first
quarter and a few minutes of the
second.
McAbee-Thomas
ran
five
times during the drive picking up
27 yards while Anderson called
his own number three times for
15 yards as Boyceville moved
past the midfield stripe for the
only time in the first half.
The drive, however, stalled
when Colfax’s Ben Kragness
caught Tyler Draeger behind the
BIG CATCH — Boyceville’s Tyler Draeger kept his eyes on this pass
and made the catch for a 23-yard gain that set-up the Bulldogs second
touchdown in the third quarter against Colfax. The Bulldogs defeated
the Vikings 14-0 in Colfax on October 17. —photo by Shawn DeWitt
line for a three-yard loss on a
third and three play.
Wait and Rudi would run the
Vikings into Bulldog territory following the Boyceville punt.
Wait’s 21-yard jaunt moved
the Vikings into Bulldogs territory at the 46. Rudi gained yet another first down with an 11-yard
run followed by a pair of fouryard hauls by Wait. The latter
run, however, proved costly for
Wait and the Vikings, when the
senior running back was injured
with 4:34 to play in the first half.
He did not return.
Faced with a fourth and two
from the Bulldogs 25, Rudi kept
the ball but was hit hard by the
Bulldogs’ Alex Lovett for a four
yard loss and turned the ball over
on downs.
An incompletion, a run for no
gain and an offside call would
force the Bulldogs into a quick
punt.
Colfax would take the football
and move to the Boyceville 39 on
a 14 yard pass from Rudi to Sawyer DeMoe.
But blocking below the waist
and illegal motion penalties
stymied the Vikings’ drive and
forced them to punt.
Anderson took a knee for the
Bulldogs to end the half.
Boyceville’s offensive woes
seemed to dissipate during the
halftime break because when
play resumed the Bulldogs were
hitting on all cylinders.
Taking the second-half kickoff,
Boyceville took just three plays
and 1:22 to cover the 63-yard
distance for their and the game’s
first score.
Senior running back Logan
McAbee-Thomas opened the
drive with back-to-back runs for
six and 11 yards.
On the very next play, Hunter
Anderson spotted a wide open
Mitch Leach and threw him the
ball. Leach, who had put a good
20-yard cushion between himself and the nearest Vikings’ defender, cradled the catch and ran
untouched to complete the 46yard scoring strike at 10:38 of the
third quarter. Jake Lake missed
the kick but Boyceville held a 6-0
lead.
Colfax would gift-wrap another scoring opportunity when
Vikings tried to convert a fourth
and one from its own 40. The
Boyceville defense stuffed the
run by Andrew Adix and took
over on downs.
A holding call on second-down
pushed the Bulldogs back to the
48 but Tyler Draeger hauled in
an Anderson pass for 23 yards
and a first down at the Viking 25.
Two plays later, McAbee-Thomas
ran for 16 yards to the Vikings’
one. Hunter Anderson finished
the drive on the ensuing play
with a one-yard plunge at 7:14.
Anderson then tossed the conversion pass to Jacob McIntyre for a
14-0 advantage.
Without Wait, Colfax turned
to the arm of Jarrod Rudi and the
legs of Aliymu Davis to move its
offense.
The Vikings marched down to
the Bulldogs’ 20 yard line on the
ensuing drive. But a Davis run
on a fourth and six was stopped
a yard short putting Boyceville
back on the offensive.
After initially gaining some
positive yardage and a first down,
the Bulldogs began to go backwards as a run for a loss, an offside call, and a sack forced Boyceville to open the fourth quarter
with a punt.
Colfax would again take the
ball and move down field eventually penetrating the Boyceville
10 yard line. But the Boyceville
defense, as it had all evening rose
to the occasion. Hunter Anderson
stepped in front of Jacob Steinke
on a fourth and five pass in the
end zone and intercepted the
pass.
Instead of taking a knee for the
touch back, Anderson emerged
from end zone and like Harry
Houdini, disappear into a scrum
of Viking and Bulldog players
only to reappear on the other side
with a wide open field in front of
him.
Anderson appeared on his
way to a 100-yard plus interception return but was eventually
pushed out by the speedy Aliymu
Davis at the Colfax 20 with 6:55
to play.
Boyceville was unable to take
advantage of the opportunity to
add more points and had to punt.
Colfax had once final chance to
put the ball in the end zone but
after taking the ball from its own
20 to the Boyceville 17, a 10-yard
loss by Davis and an incomplete
pass on third and fourth downs
respectively ended the drive and
the contest.
“We talked after losing to
Spring Valley that we needed to
win the last three games of the
seasons to be able to get any momentum heading into the playoff,” said Roemhild. “We also discussed playing with more emotion
on the field and it all started with
the Glenwood City game and has
carried over since then.
“In the first half we only ran
13 plays due to a turnover and a
couple of penalties so it was hard
to get a read on what we could
do offensively. The second half
we were able to carry out some of
the game plan that we had set-up
during the week with a few adjustments at halftime. I am very
proud of the boys for rising to the
occasion.”
Boyceville finished with just
149 total yards, far fewer than
the 283 that Colfax posted. The
Vikings had a decided rushing
edge - 207 to 77. Passing yardage was nearly dead even with
77 for the Bulldogs and 76 for
the Vikings. Hunter Anderson
hit on four of five passes. Logan
McAbee-Thomas finished with 88
yards rushing for the Bulldogs.
Jeremiah Wait led the Vikings
with 71 yards despite missing the
entire second half.
Marathon, the Bulldogs level
one opponent, finished 4-3 in the
always tough Marawood Conference which features unbeaten
Edgar.
“They have one of the better
defenses in the area,” Roemhild
stated. “They play in a tough conference with their losses coming
to Edgar, Stratford, Auburndale,
and a non-conference loss to Regis. We will have to match their
intensity and play fundamental
football to be successful.”

ST. CROIX COUNTY
CIVIL COURT
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.

In a decision filed Sept. 24, Judge
Edward Vlack affirmed a decision by the
Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review
FOR THE RECORD
Commission that the Holmen School
District did not discriminate against
Randal V. Stanke, Hudson, when it
failed to interview him for three school
principal positions.
Judge Vlack agreed with the LIRC
“that the record contains sufficient
evidence to conclude that (the Holmen
School District) was not concerned with
Mr. Stanke’s creed either real or perceived.” The judge deferred to the LIRC’s
expertise and affirmed its decision.
According to background in the
decision, Stanke -- who has 23 years of
experience as a teacher, assistant principal and elementary principal -- applied
for principal jobs in the Holmen district.
One of the posted qualifications was five
years of public education experience in
teaching and/or administration, and all
of Stanke’s experience was in private
religious schools.
He was not called for an interview,
but both sides agreed that, except for
the lack of public school experience, he
qualified for the positions.
In May 2010 Stanke filed a complaint
with the Equal Rights Division of the
Department of Workforce Development,
alleging discrimination based on creed
and age.
An Equal Rights officer found there
was no probable cause to believe the
Wisconsin Fair Employment Act was
violated. Stanke appealed.
Following a hearing, an administrative law judge also found no probable
cause that Holmen violated the act
or that requiring five years of public
education experience constituted discrimination.
In February 2014 the Labor and Industry Review Commission agreed and
adopted the administrative law judge’s
findings and conclusions as its own.
Stanke asked the county court to review
the decision.
Before submitting applications for
any of the positions, Stanke emailed the
district, mentioning his over 20 years of
experience and asking if public education
experience was required.
He received a reply suggesting that
he apply and saying that his experience
might be reviewed if no one with the
public education experience applied.
When he wasn’t interviewed for any
of the jobs, Stanke wrote to the district,
raising his concern that he wasn’t considered because of his creed or religion.
The district administrator replied
that the district had received about 80
applications for one job, 90 for another
and 60 for the third. Twelve applicants
were interviewed. Each, and undoubtedly a number of others, met the qualifications listed in the job posting, according
to the decision.
Vlack wrote that Stanke’s religious
school experience was not the issue, but
his lack of experience in public schools
meant he didn’t meet one of the prerequisites for the jobs.

A case filed first in Small Claims
Court was moved into Civil Court because the disputed value now exceeds
$10,000.
Asking for return of property, Theodor John Beyer,Hudson, filed a small
claims case against Jay Penfield and
Trever Sire, both of Hudson.
Beyer claimed the items Penfield
and Sire should return to him include
numerous manuals, class handouts, an
air monitor, chemical and demonstration materials valued at $1,000, a rock
tumbler, Indian artifacts, a mini-bike,
KBG Inc. invoice books, a shotgun, a boat
motor, bee hives, a rocking chair, a popup tent, an aquarium and bookshelves.
In reply to that first claim, Penfield
and Sire said the property allegedly
held would have been retained by Ex
Environmental Inc. and not by them.
They said Beyer was a former employee
of Ex Environmental and when he stared
work, the company began paying his
phone bill with the understanding that
that phone number would be the main
contact for the company. They also said
that when he was fired, Beyer took numerous items belonging to the company,
and although they tried many times to
arrange an exchange, he refused to return company property and they kept his
things as assurance they would receive
their property from him.
Penfield and Sire claimed the value of
the property Beyer took exceeded $8,000
and included an iPhone, an air monitor,
a radio, class materials, a full-face respirator and associated equipment, a truck
topper and a trailer hitch.
They also said that while employed
by Ex Environmental, Beyer began using
company materials to perform identical

work for which he was hired, billed for
his services and wrongfully obtained and
kept over $20,000.
In reply to their counterclaim, Beyer
said Penfield and Sire unjustly used his
phone number and contacts to enrich
themselves, they have impeded the exchange of property, they failed to fairly
compensate him, and when he tried
to return most of their items to their
attorney, the lawyer refused to give a
receipt. Beyer claimed Ex Environmental accounts receivable were in excess
of $548,000 for 2013 and more than
$200,000 in 2014 for which Sire and
Penfield refused to fairly compensate
him and instead fired him in June.

Edith Faye Campbell, Minneapolis,
filed suit against Universal Hospitalities
LLC, dba Agave Kitchen, Hudson, and
Owners Insurance Company.
According to the complaint, at about 6
p.m. Oct. 1, 2011, Campbell was a patron
at the restaurant. As she attempted to
sit down on a high-top chair, she placed
her hand under the metal seat, which
unbeknownst to her, was detached from
the frame of the chair. As she put her
weight on the seat, her left index finger
was crushed between the seat and the
frame, says the complaint.
The suit alleges Universal Hospitalities was “negligent in failing to inspect,
maintain and repair the premises with
regard to the chair in which (Campbell)
attempted to sit and other negligent
acts.”
The suit says the restaurant breached
the duty it owes to its patrons under the
Wisconsin Safe Place Statute.

Steven L. and Maria J.G. Lindblom,
Hudson, filed suit against Donald E. and
Anne M. Moe, Spring, Texas, and Glen
Johnson Construction Inc., Hudson.
According to the complaint, the Lindbloms bought the house on Topaz Lane
from the Moes. The house was built by
Glen Johnson Construction.
The Lindbloms claim the Moes “failed
to disclose all defects and adverse conditions relating to the home.”
The complaint says that on the Real
Estate Condition Report, the Moes indicated, among other things, that they
were unaware of defects with the roof;
defects with the basement or foundation,
including cracks, seepage and bulges; the
presence of basement leaks that would
initiate the growth of unsafe levels of
mold; or defects of the structure of the
property.
The Lindbloms, who paid $292,000
for the house, say that shortly after they
bought it, they experienced “significant
water intrusion in the basement.”
The suit alleges unjust enrichment,
misrepresentation, negligence and
breach of disclosure against the Moes.
The suit also alleges the builder was
negligent for failing to grade the yard
in compliance with building code and
that failure contributed to the waterintrusion problem in the basement.
The Moes are asking for actual and
consequential damages and for treble
damages allowed under state law.

David Olson, Woodville, filed suit
against Olson’s Woodville Meats Inc.,

David Olson is asking the court
to order Olson’s Woodville Meats and
Kevin and Cory Olson to immediately
surrender their ownership rights to all
assets of the company and the two men
to surrender their shares in Woodville
Meats to David Olson.
According to the complaint, the First

entered into a forbearance agreement,
setting forth obligations with which
David, Woodville Meats, Kevin, Cory and

that lawsuit was dismissed.
The new suit says Olson’s Meats and
Kevin and Cory Olson have failed to
make payments on the bank loan and

statements to David.
The complaint says the forbearance
agreement stated that if the meat company and Cory and Kevin failed to meet
any of their obligations, they will transfer ownership and all rights to assets,

FOR THE RECORD
claims against Hallman, its division,
RFMC, couldn’t either.
“A division of a corporation lacks
any capacity to sue or even to be sued
as an entity as a matter of law,” ruled
the judge.
In his written decision, Judge Needham found that Tashjian and Clayton
also can’t sue because they are not thirdparty beneficiaries of a contract with a
company in which they own shares.
“The corporate structure of WWMA
was set up such that while each division is largely financially independent,
each division also contributed its share
towards paying WWMA’s overhead and
expenses,” wrote the judge. “Further,
WWMA benefited by Hallman’s agreement with WWMA because of the on-call
coverage he provided, regardless of the
division.”
Judge Needham found there was no
breach of the agreement as a result of
Hallman’s actions.
“Because the agreement was between
Hallman and WWMA, and not between
Hallman and RFMC, there was no violation of practicing within the protected
geographic area because he did not cease
to be an employee of the corporation,
WWMA, until February 2013,” wrote
the judge. The ruling continued that by
the time his employment with WWMA
ended, Hallman was no longer soliciting
patients of WWMA, or any of its divisions, and was no longer practicing in
the protected area.
“Though the plaintiffs argue otherwise, the agreement did not prohibit
Hallman from soliciting patients of
RFMC to come to (Hudson Physicians
Division) because it was part of WWMA,
the ‘corporation,’ “ wrote the judge.
He said there was comingling of
doctors and patients between HPD and
RFMC, and although the plaintiffs contended the three divisions were separate
businesses, they were all under one
umbrella, WWMA, of which Hallman
was an employee.

St. Croix County Recycling offers
free event recycling bins
It was 25 years ago in 1989
that Wisconsin’s mandatory
recycling law came into being.
It is arguably one of the most
popular governmental programs
in the state. Surveys taken
s i n c e t h e m i d - 1 9 9 0 ’s h a v e
consistently demonstrated a
household compliance rate of
95%, and recently, over 90% of
state residents told pollsters they
are satisfied with how recycling is
done in Wisconsin.
Community recycling programs
in the state now collect close
to 500,000 tons of recyclables
annually, and many more tons are
collected through private business
efforts. In addition to households,
most of the state’s businesses are
also recycling.
Despite the success of recycling
in our homes and businesses,
one area where recycling is more
challenging is at special events,
including sports competitions,
community festivals, private
picnics, and private celebrations
like wedding receptions and
graduation parties.
In order to increase special
event recycling, St. Croix County
purchased recycling bins two years
ago that are specifically designed
to be used in public venues. This
effort was made possible through
the donations of the following
partners: St. Croix County Fair;
St. Croix Electric Cooperative;
Pepperfest; St. Croix Alliance
of Sportsman’s Clubs; Hudson
Boosters; and Xcel Energy.
The recycling program currently
owns forty (40) bins. They are
available for use free of charge! In
addition, the county also provides
with each bin two free plastic bags
that are designed specifically to
fit these units. Additional bags
are available for purchase in rolls
of ten for $5.00. Borrowers must
sign a rental agreement and place
a security deposit for each bin
reserved – the deposit is returned
immediately upon the return of
the bins.
Drip trays are available for 5 of
the bins for use in indoor settings
where there is a concern that a bag
might leak.
For more information, contact
the St. Croix County recycling
program at 715-531-1930.

Dunn County launches “directional planning”
should be used, and a schedule,
Catlin said.
Drafting the directional plan
will involve listing the issues,
outlining the planning process,
setting priorities, determining
how to execute the plan and
identifying shared participation,
she said.
Catlin plans to meet with the
standing committees during the
rest of October, will meet with
the county board in November
or December, will bring a draft
of the plan to the county board in
January or February, will review
the plan with the committees
and the county board in March
and April and will have the plan
finished by May.
The overall focus of the
directional planning process will
be, “What will be the future of
Dunn County?” Catlin said.
Zoning maps
In other business, the
Dunn County Board approved
amended zoning maps for the
new comprehensive zoning code
adopted in October of 2013 for
the 16 zoned townships in Dunn
County.
The Dunn County Board
approved the revised zoning
code on October 16, 2013, and
the adoption of the revised code
provided that the previous zoning
code adopted in 1993 and all of the
subsequent amendments would
remain in effect for one year in
any township that had adopted
the 1993 zoning ordinance.
Out of the 22 townships in
Dunn County, 17 had adopted
the 1993 zoning ordinance and
amendments.
The Town of New Haven decided
not to adopt the new ordinance
and was no longer under county
zoning as of October 16.
The 16 townships that remain
in county zoning are the Towns
of Colfax, Dunn, Grant, Hay
River, Lucas, Menomonie, Otter
Creek, Peru, Red Cedar, Sheridan,
Sherman, Stanton, Tainter,
Tiffany, Weston and Wilson.
O v e r t h e p a s t y e a r, t h e
townships’ plan commissions and
town boards have worked with Bob
Colson, Dunn County planner and
zoning administrator, on revising
the zoning maps and approving
the revised zoning maps.
Most of the 16 townships are
zoned primarily for General
Agriculture.
The Town of Grant is primarily
zoned Intensive Agriculture.
Much of the Towns of Lucas
and Wilson are zoned Primary
Agriculture, with Wilson having
more Primary Ag than Lucas.
The Dunn County Planning,
Resources and Development
Committee held a public hearing on
the revised township zoning maps
on October 7 and subsequently
approved recommending that the
Dunn County Board adopt the
revised zoning maps.
The PRD committee is now
working on text amendments to
the zoning code revolving around
housing density and will soon be
working on shoreland zoning and
subdivision control ordinances,
said Bob Walter, county board
supervisor and chair of the PRD
committee.
•$246,430 more for facilities
and parks ($1.8 million for 2014;
$2.1 million requested for 2015)
•$576,346 more for health
insurance ($7.7 million for 2014;
$8.2 million requested for 2015)
The proposed budget for 2015
includes a tax levy of $20.935
million.
The levy is at the statutory
limit, said Tonya Kusmirek, Dunn
County’s chief financial officer.
Because the levy is set at the
maximum allowable by the state,
debt service and library funding
will be taken outside of the levy,
she said.
State statute allows three
budget areas to be included in
the budget but not considered
for the levy limit: debt service;
county bridge aid to the towns;
and library funding.
Equalized value has increased
by 2.2 percent, and the mill rate
will be going up 1 cent per $1,000
of equalized value, Kusmirek said.
Last year, the tax levy amounted
to $7.96 per $1,000 in property
value; for the 2015 budget, the
tax levy will be $7.97 per $1,000
in value, she said.
Last month, Dunn County was
looking at a $450,000 shortfall,
noted Gary Bjork, county board
supervisor from Colfax.
The budget came into balance
because the sheriff ’s department
and the highway department
will now be funding part of
their budgets through each
department’s unassigned fund
balance, and the county’s health
insurance cost will increase by
5 percent instead of 6 percent,
Kusmirek explained, noting that
other parts of the budget had
small movements both up and
down.
Kusmirek and Gene Smith,
county manager, both said that
the increase in the county’s selffunded health insurance is not
an increase to the employee, but
rather, is an increase in the cost
of the plan.
Instead of the regular county
board meeting on the third
Wednesday of the month, the
Dunn County Board’s budget
meeting will be held on the second
Wednesday, November 12.
Dunn County opposes state
reduction in circuit court funding
By LeAnn R. Ralph
MENOMONIE — The Dunn
County Board has gone on record
as being officially opposed to the
state of Wisconsin reducing circuit
court funding by $11.8 million in
the 2013-2015 biennial budget.
The Dunn County Board
approved a resolution stating
the opposition of county board
supervisors at the October 15
meeting.
This will be taking state money
from the county’s circuit court
system, and the county will have to
replace that money either through
budget cuts or an increased tax
levy, said David Bartlett, county
board supervisor from Boyceville
and chair of the judiciary and law
committee.
The state requires that counties
provide a guardian ad litem for
those who cannot make their
own decisions and interpreters
for defendants who do not speak
English, but now the state wants
to remove state funding for those
services, said Bob Walter, county
board supervisor from Menomonie.
Walter is an attorney.
Kitz Cleary, county board
supervisor from Colfax, wondered
how much of the $11.8 million
would come from Dunn County.
In 2001, the state decided that
counties would be required to
pay 47 percent of the funding for
the circuit court system. In 2012,
the state Legislature increased
that share to 55.9 percent of the
funding to be provided by the
counties, said Judge Rod Smeltzer.
Over the years, “the state has
eroded funding (for the courts) and
has set the counties back,” Judge
Smeltzer said.
The state Legislature’s cuts to
the circuit court system will affect
more than each individual county.
On an administrative level statewide, the cuts will affect legal
education for judges, he said.
“This is the biggest cut the state
has ever asked for from the courts.
This is a serious matter,” Judge
Smeltzer said.
Todd Welch, county board
supervisor from Menomonie,
said state government already
spends too much money and that
he wanted to research the issue
of court funding before voting on
the resolution.
Welch also suggested that
someone knowledgeable about the
proposed cuts speak to the county
board at the November meeting.
Welch made a motion that the
resolution opposing the state’s
reduction in circuit court funding
be postponed until the November
meeting.
Steve Rasmussen, county board
supervisor from Boyceville and
chair of the Dunn County Board,
asked for a second for Welch’s
motion.
After the third inquiry as to
whether there was a second to the
motion, Rasmussen declared that
the motion had died from the lack
of a second.
The Dunn County Board
approved the motion stating
opposition to the state’s proposed
decrease in circuit court funding
on a vote of 28 to 1.
Welch voted against the motion.

3rd Annual
By LeAnn R. Ralph
MENOMONIE — Dunn
County has launched a process
called “directional planning” to
define and plan for key issues
identified by county board
members, standing committees
and departments.
Dolores (Dolly) Catlin, a fellow
with the International City/County
Management Association (ICMA)
spoke to the Dunn County Board
about the directional planning
process at the October 15 meeting.
Catlin, who will be working in
Dunn County for one year, said
she has already met with some
of the county board’s standing
committees.
Dunn County has nine standing
committees, 22 departments, and
29 county board members.
Identifying key issues will focus
on several questions, including
“where are you now?,” “who do
you want to be?,” and “how are you
going to get there?” Catlin said,
noting that the plan will cover the
next three to five years.
The overall theme for
directional planning in Dunn
County will be “Dream Big,” which
will focus on “thinking out of the
box” and “looking at the long
view,” she said.
Achieving a big impact does not
mean that projects must cost a lot
of money, Catlin said.
Low budget items can have a
big impact; the projects do not
have to be high budget, she said.
Developing an action plan
will involve sorting out issues,
determining how to achieve the
projects identified, what approach
By LeAnn R. Ralph
MENOMONIE — The Dunn

No voter photo ID required at November election
D U N N & S T. C R O I X
COUNTIES – Local clerks are
advising voters that they do not
need to show a photo ID to vote at
the November 4, 2014 Election. On
October 9, 2014, the U.S. Supreme
Court overturned an earlier 7th
Circuit Court of Appeals decision
which had reinstated the photo ID
law. The law had been enjoined by
the courts since March, 2012.
According to the Wisconsin
Government Accountability
Board, the Supreme Court’s order
is not the final word on the legality
of Wisconsin’s voter photo ID law,
but it does set the rules for the
General Election. The Supreme
Court halted enforcement of the
law for the time being to avoid
voter confusion and because
some voters had already been
mailed absentee ballots without
instructions on how to comply
with the voter photo ID law. The
Supreme Court may decide to hear
the case on its merits sometime
after the November election.
Even though voters will not
have to show an ID to receive a
ballot at this election, voters who
are registering between now and
Election Day should be aware that
they may use their driver license
or state ID card to establish their
residence if it contains a current
address.
“You may use a valid driver
license or state ID card for proof
of residence when you register to
vote, either before or on Election
D a y ” s a i d K e v i n K e n n e d y,
Wisconsin’s chief elections officer.
“But you are not required to show
a photo ID to get your ballot.”
All voters must show proof of
residence to register to vote, and
a driver license or state ID card
with a current address are just
two of many documents can use
to prove they are residents. A full
list is available here: http://gab.
wi.gov/publications/voter-guides/
proof-of-residence.
Also, voters who have a
Wisconsin driver license or state
ID card are required to provide
the card number on the voter
registration form. Voters who do
not have a driver license or state
ID card can use the last four digits
of their Social Security number
instead.
Absentee Voting
Local clerk are advising
absentee voters who may have
received a letter in recent
weeks telling them to provide a
photocopy of their ID card that
they may disregard the letter.
Some voters who requested or
received absentee ballots before
the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals
decision on September 12 would
have needed to provide a copy of
their ID, but the Supreme Court’s
order on October 9 made that
unnecessary.
Be Prepared
Because the Supreme Court
may someday reinstate voter
photo ID in Wisconsin, the G.A.B.
is advising anyone who does
not have a state ID card to take
advantage of the opportunity to
get one for free. The Wisconsin
Division of Motor Vehicles has a
process to allow people to obtain
a free State ID card for voting
purposes, even if the person does
not have a birth certificate.
Kennedy said that process can
take time, especially for people
born outside of Wisconsin, so it
makes sense to get started early.
More information is available
at the Wisconsin DMV website:
http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/
drivers/drivers/apply/petitionprocess.htm. If the voter photo ID
law is not reinstated, voters can
still use the state ID card for proof
of residence when registering, he
said.
For questions about voting,
please contact your local clerk.
Voters are encouraged to visit the
WI Government Accountability’s
voter services website, www.
