Tribune Press Reporter 1 $ 00 www.DeWittMedia.com Volume 125, Number 6 Glenwood City, Wisconsin 54013 Wednesday, October 15, 2014 City council listens to citizens concerns, complaints about soil erosion and run-off GLENWOOD CITY — The common council of Glenwood City found itself in the midst of a muddy mess during its regular monthly meeting held Monday, October 13 in the municipal building. A pair of frustrated residents and property owners appeared before the council during the public comments portion of the meeting to address an ongoing problem with soil erosion and run-off on to their properties from an adjoining property on the north side of the city. At issue, is the heavy soil erosion and the subsequent run-off from a field east of Third Street (County Road X) following rain storms that is sending water and mud into neighboring properties between E. Walnut Street and the top of the hill. Roger Lindelof and Cindy Thompson attended Monday evening’s meeting to voice their concerns and frustrations with the continuing problem and cleanup they face due to the excessive soil run-off on to their properties the past several years. Lindelof addressed the board, reading from a statement he had prepared for the meeting. “I and several of my neighbors have an ongoing problem with field run-off, “ he began. “For the past six years or so, we have had to deal with large amounts of silt and mud washing down from the field on the north and east sides of my house (located at 725 third Street), and at times into our basements.” Lindelof said that the field in question had been used for hay and alfalfa which held the soil but recently corn has been planted causing the soil to continually wash down hill during rains. “This summer it has been especially bad due to the frequent heavy downpours of rain,” continued Lindelof . “Not only are our homes affected, but the gush of water from the fields has washed great quantities of mud and gravel from the ditch in front of my house into the city’s storm sewer.” Lindelof told the council that he has spoken several times with both the landowner and the farmers renting the land about the issue with no relief or progress towards a solution. “There has been no effort by either (land owner or renters) to correct the problem,” an exasperated Lindelof told the council. Lindelof did say that a no till method was used prior to the planting of corn this year but that it had little to no effect. He continued by telling council members that corn was planted right to the property line leaving no grass buffer zone and that proper soil conservation methods have not been adhered to. “On half the hillside above my house, the corn rows ran up and down rather than across the hillside enabling the water, silt and mud to run freely down into my yard,” Lindelof stated. There used to be green (grass) waterways where the water would drain from the field said Lindelof but those have been plowed under creating deep gullies. He has taken to building wooden barriers along the shared property lines to hold back the mud but Lindelof stated that the barriers have eventually filled up and are now overflowing every time there is a heavy downpour. He shared pictures of the structures he had built with the council. Each showed soil overflowing the wooden barriers. Lindelof stated that last year alone, he, his son and a nephew had to remove dozens of wheel barrow loads of mud and silt out of the yard and this year is no different. Lindelof also relayed the issues other properties owners are enduring saying that the renters in one of Cindy Thompson’s properties can not use the basement shower because the water and mud have flowed into it. He also noted that a shed on the Carolynn Tuttle property just east of the Thompson rental has had a shed dislodged and moved by the flow of mud. Thompson, who has a pair of rental properties on the east TOWN OF HOWARD — State Department of Natural Resources officials are still considering whether they can take any enforcement action for frac sand pollution in 18 Mile Creek from the EOG Resources mine in Cooks Valley. Deb Dix, the DNR’s state-wide liaison for frac sand mining, spoke at the Howard Town Hall October 7 about 18 Mile Creek and other issues associated with frac sand mining. About 50 people attended the meeting. “I cannot be specific until we hear all the details (about 18 Mile Creek). We won’t know the enforcement until we get there,” Dix said. Mark Berge, a Town of Cooks Valley resident who lives near the EOG Resources DS mine, bristled. “Why don’t I get to know? They have been discharging onto my property all summer long,” Berge said. DNR officials were planning to meet with representatives for EOG Resources the next day, and it would be the first of several meetings, Dix said. Berge invited Dix and anyone else from the DNR to walk his property “to see the mess.” A rainstorm the evening of September 3 dumped between two and three inches of rain on the area in a short period of time. By September 5, colloidal clay runoff from the DS mine had traveled about six miles cross country, much of it through marsh, and had turned 18 Mile Creek through Colfax a thick-looking caramel color. The water in 18 Mile Creek remained caramel colored for more than a week. After the fine clay particles become suspended in the water, they tend to stay in suspension. Berge was the first person to contact the Colfax Messenger about the colloidal clay runoff from the DS mine. Runoff from the mine is intended to collect in a holding pond that allows the rain water to infiltrate before the next rain event. Permits The stormwater permit that is available for the DNR to issue for sand mines was intended for small sand and gravel operations, Dix said.

This will be to design a Skilled Nursing Facility, a Dementia/ Mental Health Crisis Unit and to remodel the existing Skilled Nursing Facility into a Community Based Residential Facility with a maximum project budget of $15 million. Following the opening statement, there was a motion by District 4 Supervisor, Howard Novotny to approve the resolution and a second by District 18 Supervisor, Shaela Leibfried. However, the resolution on paper appeared to be rather simple, but the discussion that followed the motion was anything but. The Board members went into discussion for 50 minutes in regards to the actual cost to approve because in their packet the amount was between $15 and $29 million, but on the agenda the figure was a flat $15 mill. Due to the fact that the money being spent on the project is tax payer dollars, a more concrete figure was wanted by a few Board members. District 17 Supervisor, Judy Achterhof was the first to mention the difference in amounts printed and she asked that someone County Board Please see pg 2 Human remains found in woods near Baldwin By Kelsie Hoitomt BALDWIN — On Thursday, October 9 at 5:46 p.m. the St. Croix County Sheriff ’s Office responded to a report that a hunter had located a human skull in the woods near the 2200 block of 70th Ave in the Baldwin Township. Upon arrival the deputies were shown to a wooded area and they located a skull and human remains, just south of the Union Pacific railroad tracks. According to a news article by WQOW News 18, the sheriff ’s office indicated “that an autopsy has positively identified the person as a Baldwin man who went missing in July. It was also determined he had committed suicide by hanging.” The St. Croix County Sheriff ’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Woodville Police Department, the Baldwin Area Fire Department, the St. Croix County Highway Department and the St. Croix County Medical Examiner’s Office. The case remains under investigation by the St. Croix County Sheriff ’s Office. Man arrested for fatal accident near Elk Mound By LeAnn R. Ralph ELK MOUND — A 21-year-old Cadott man has been arrested on two counts of homicide by the intoxicated use of a motor vehicle and operating a vehicle while intoxicated following an accident on I-94 near Elk Mound early Saturday morning. Michael D. Sonnentag was arrested as the suspect who caused the accident that killed two people and injured six others when he was found walking along Stokke Parkway in Menomonie later Saturday morning at 6:45 a.m. According to a news release from the Wisconsin State Patrol, Dunn County and the state patrol began receiving phone calls around 2:40 a.m. reporting a two-vehicle crash on westbound I-94 near mile marker 55 and that one of the vehicles had left the scene. Law enforcement officials discovered that the vehicle remaining at the scene of the accident, which turned out to be a van, had left the roadway, overturned and was situated in the tree line along the north ditch. Two passengers were prounded dead at the scene, and six other passengers were transported to hospitals in Eau Claire with nonlife-threatening injuries. The two people who were killed were not wearing seatbelts and were thrown from the vehicle, but all of those who were injured were wearing seatbelts, according to the news release. State troopers on the scene found a black hood that had been ripped from the vehicle that left the scene and determined the hood was from a 1990s Toyota. According to the state patrol news release, at around 4 p.m., Dunn County deputies found a black 1995 Toyota Camry with a heavy front end damage parked on a dead-end town road near the intersection of U.S. Highway 12/state Highway 29 and county Highway B. There was no one in or near the vehicle. According to a news release from the Dunn County Sheriff ’s Department, Dunn County deputies, with the assistance of Dunn County’s K-9 unit and a K-9 unit from St. Croix County, as well as officers from the Menomonie Police Department, began searching for the suspect. Officers also checked buildings in the area and large fields. At around 6 a.m., a Code Red message was sent out to telephones within a two-mile radius of the suspect vehicle’s location. Dunn County deputies located the owner and driver of the vehicle at around 6:45 a.m. when he was walking along Stokke Parkway not far from the Dunn County Highway Department. According to the news release from the sheriff ’s department, Sonnentag said he was alone in the vehicle at the time of the accident. Sonnentag was arrested and taken to the Dunn County jail. He appeared in Dunn County Circuit Court on Monday, October 13, for a bail hearing. All of the people in the van were from out of state. The two people who died were a 28-yearold woman, Larci Ricafrente from Waterford, Mich., and another 28-year-old woman, Djamella Sugatan from the Philippines. Those who were injured included Alvin D. Dimaranan, a 33-year-old man from Schiller Park, Illinois; Leah Lim Ricafrente, a 32-yearold woman from Schiller Park; Luisito L. Ricafrente, a 24-yearold man from Schiller Park; Lison R. Dimaranan, a 7-year-old girl from Schiller Park; Jovita Dela Cruz Alegre, a 55-year-old woman from Skokie, Illinois; and Anthan V. Dimaranan, a 5-year-old boy from Schiller Park.

This year the event was held at the Wakanda Park in Menomonie on Saturday, October 4. Despite the chilly morning, the walk went off without a hitch and they were able to raise over $7,500 for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. —photo by Kelsie Hoitomt County Board Continued from page 1 explain considering $15 to $29 mill is a significant difference. County Administrator, Patrick Thompson stated that there has to be a starting point in terms of a figure and the $15 mill is at the low end of the estimation. He went on to say that the $15 mill does not commit the Board to that dollar figure as further rigorous planning is to be done and better estimates will be given. “In early 2015 there will be a bonding resolution and estimates for the project will be locked in, but we feel as a staff and sub committee (Administration and Health and Human Services) that the $15 million dollar estimate is a good starting point,” said Thompson District 6 Supervisor, Stephen Nielson spoke up in continuation of Achterhof ’s statement and said that he felt the document was confusing and poorly worded. Nielson stated that he was only given one document and did not see the Facility Analysis and he wanted to see the Forecasted Scheduled, who did it and when it was done as well as the forecasted occupancy rates for both intensive care, immediate care and dementia care. With all of that said, Nielson asked to see the resolution tabled until the November 7 meeting. In reference, the Facility Analysis stated that “based on current Forecasted Schedule, the Net Income Available for debt service payment is $496,400 per year with no levy support. This buys you $7.385 million bonding. The above assumption of $450,000 was used instead of the $496,400 to create a buffer for the debt.” Interim Administrator for the Nursing Home, Sandy Hackenmueller addressed the question by stating that the forecasted occupancy rate is roughly 47 in the Skilled Facility and 36 in the Assisted Living. As far as in the Dementia Care Unit, there is currently no number due to the entire concept being so new. This would be the first unit of its kind in the state so further information is still be gathered by the Health and Human Services Department. Thompson furthered reassured the Board that this was not the final discussion and more numbers and more concrete estimates will be brought in front of them. District 1 Supervisor, Travis Schachtner spoke up in favor of passing the resolution. He stated that there are three community members and six Board members that will be overseeing the project on a committee and trust needs to be placed on them. “There are safeties built into this resolution,” said Schachtner. Eventually a vote was brought to the table and the outcome was 14 yes’s and 2 no’s from Nielson and District 14 Supervisor, Andy Brinkman. Absent from the meeting and the vote Chris Kilber, Ron Kiesler and Paulette Anderson. By Kelsie Hoitomt GLENWOOD CITY — Present at the Board of Education meeting for the first time as a group were the members of the Community Task Force; Trynette Gross, Chase Rasmussen, Dean Fayerweather, Tom Klatt, Ed Gabbert, Chad Lee, Todd Petersen and Beth Davis. Over the course of a few months now, the District has sent out letters to parents in the district, inviting them to take a tour of the building’s structure inside and out. This task force was asked to take a good look at the school and categorize what areas needed attention the most. All together over 20 people were present at the Task Force meetings, but on Monday the eight presented the Board with a completed survey/prioritization list. The number one concern was safety for the students and staff inside the school. Safety went hand in hand with the number one item on the survey, relocation of offices. This was the number one priority along with the repair/ upgrade to the HVAC system (heating, ventilation and air conditioning). This list of upgrades to focus on continued with a technology server and networking, the roof, fire alarm, technology in every classroom, the softball field, elementary traffic flow, batting cages for the new shed, etc. The first two items alone By Kathie Starkweather, [email protected], Center for Rural Affairs In October, America celebrates the harvest, and specifically initiatives to put healthy, locally grown food on our childrens’ plates at school. And it all starts with America’s farmers and ranchers. Many of us who raise our own food, whether in a pot or a small garden, do so as a hobby. If there’s too much heat, not enough rain or too many pests, we are disappointed and frustrated but the love of growing fresh, nutritious foods pulls us through tough times. I know two young women who started a small vegetable farm. They have off-farm jobs as do many farmers and ranchers in rural America.

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.

In High School/Middle School Principal Patrick Gretzlock’s report, he shared that there are two new organizations that have been started this year; the National History Club and the Academic Decathlon. They are both in a trial stage right now with no funding to them, but attendance wise there are over 20 students participating in both. The Academic Decathlon will be doing some competitions as well. And lastly, Superintendent Tim Johnson spoke to the Board. He shared that the Equalized Value is in and it shows a decrease as a resident district of .5 percent, which is just over $1 million dollars in terms of a money figure. Wednesday, October 15 is when the final numbers will be ready so those figures will be available at the next meeting in terms of the levy. Johnson did state that the budget is currently balanced. Items approved included the hiring of Jenny Stoiber as a substitute support staff/ paraprofessional aide and Nicole Johnson as a substitute teacher.

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

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

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

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

Boyceville five-year planning committee makes scant progress on new firestation By LeAnn R. Ralph BOYCEVILLE — The Boyceville Fire District’s five-year planning committee was unable to make much progress on assessing sites for a new fire station at their October 8 meeting. A representative for Five Bugles Design failed to attend the meeting, leaving committee members with very little information to review. After committee members had waited for about ten minutes, Brian Marlette, Boyceville fire chief, made a telephone call and then reported that the Five Bugles representative “forgot to put the meeting on the schedule.” Five Bugles Design is the company that has been hired to assess the needs of the fire department and to produce a preliminary design for a new fire station in Boyceville. Five Bugles has developed options for how a 90-foot by 140foot fire station could fit on several different sites, Marlette said. “We can’t pick this apart until we see a print,” said Rich Monn, chair of the Town of Staton and chair of the fire district’s five-year planning committee. Two potential sites for a fire station have been identified on the north side of Boyceville on Nordveien Drive in the vicinity of Tiffany Creek Elementary and on the south side of Boyceville on state Highway 79 next to the BP gas station. The area from BP east to the pulling track is owned by the village, noted Don Rose, director of public works. Monn said he did not believe the site on Nordveien was appropriate for a fire station because it is a quiet residential area. Rose pointed out that there are houses near the site on Highway 79, too, although when the houses were built, homeowners were required to get special permission to build there because the area is zoned commercial. Monn wondered if the height of the proposed hose-drying tower would be a problem since the airport is so close to the site next to BP. The tower would be used for drying fire hoses but also could be used for training exercises for firefighters. “The drying tower would be great, but if it’s a deal breaker, then we’ll get around it,” Marlette said. “We really cannot do anything until they come with the design of the building imposed on the sites,” Monn said. The five-year planning committee agreed to meet after the Boyceville Fire District and the Boyceville Ambulance District meetings on October 15. Marlette called the Five Bugles representative to make sure he could attend the October 15 meeting. Marlette said he had been assured that the October 15 meeting had been put on the Five Bugles schedule. • Tile • Vinyl • Wood • Carpet • Laminate • Professional Installation • Residential & Commercial Your Flooring Headquarters 715-235-7722 ~ www.nevinsflooring.com 1501 TAINTER STREET, MENOMONIE Mon., Tues., Wed., Fri. - 8:30-5:30 • Thurs. til 7 p.m., Sat. 9-4 Quality Floor Coverings At The Best Prices Largest Supply of In-Stock Carpet & Vinyl • Full Service • FREE Estimates Americans for Limited Government is a non- partisan, nationwide network committed to advancing free market reforms,private property rights and core American liberties.

A staggering 2,566 pounds of food and a total of $1,296.74 dollars was donated and collected by WestCAP on behalf of the two communities. The Glenwood City School District held onto their title after 1,613 pounds of food was weighed and $340.50 dollars was collected. Boyceville was just 44.25 pounds behind with a total of 953 pounds of food and $956.24 dollars donated. The Boyceville Lion’s Club donated a check worth $500 and ServiceMaster gifted a $100 check. “This was by far the most successful challenge ever, said Melissa Larson, Food Access and Resource Manager at WestCAP. City Council Continued from page 1 corners of Third and E. Walnut Street, told the council the mud on her properties have been up to eight inches or more in depth. “We have been dealing with this problem for a number of years,” Lindelof explained. “Not only is this a nuisance to clean up, but it devalues our properties.” “The landowner and farmers renting the land assume no responsibility for the damage and display an attitude of indifference,” added Lindelof. “They seem to care less and the problem plagues us year after year.” “I am at the end of my rope because I have talked to these people and they have done nothing about this!” stated Lindelof. “Some way they have to be held responsible for this.” Glenwood City’s Director of Public Works Doug Doornink, when questioned by council members, stated that soil is still washing into the city’s storm sewers in that area. “Last year we had mud all the way down to Cenex (on First Street),” Doornink said. The council was unsure if the city ordinance could address the issue. “I am not sure this is a civil issue or city issue,” said Mayor John Larson. Prompting Lindelof to say, “I have heard that it is between me and the landowner and I am sick of it.” Councilperson Ken Peterson also was unsure if the city could step in. “If it was in the city sewer then we could enforce it but I’m not certain we can step in (between property owners). I do, however, agree that the landowners should be responsible to keep the dirt within their property boundaries.” Lindelof and the council discussed the issue for several more minutes finally prompting Lindelof to ask if there could be a new ordinance made. After further debate, Mayor Larson told Lindelof that there is “No question, what is happening to you folks is not right.” Lindelof said that he would appreciate anything the council could do. “None of you would be happy if this was happening to your properties,” concluded Lindelof. Bid Awarded The council reviewed bids for the replacement of the sanitary sewer at the St. Croix County Fairgrounds and a fire hydrant on West Oak Street in front of Ormson’s Super Valu. Kevin Oium of Cedar Corporation was at the meeting to present the bids for the project and answering any questions. Oium told the council that eight companies had pulled the plans for the project and that five had actually submitted bids which Oium said was an impressive number. The five bids ranged from $70,656.25 from Albrightson Excavating of Woodville to $131,107.27 from Peterson Companies. McCabe Construction tendered a bid of $77,533.00; A-1 Excavating came in at $84,727.00 for the project; and Haas Sons, Inc.’s bid was for $87,923.75. Oium recommended that the council accept the low bid presented by Albrightson Excavating. Councilperson Steve Lee asked about additional costs for dewatering should the contractor run into excessive water which is known to be a concern in the West Oak Street and fairgrounds areas. “They are aware that there is a lot of water and that there may be a need for dewatering,” said Director of Works Doug Doornink. The project will also eliminate the sanitary sewer run that goes under the city’s recycling build added Doornink. After a brief discussion, the council unanimously voted to accept the bid from Albrightson’s Excavating for $70,656.25. Oium informed the council that Albrightson’s could begin the project this coming week and should have it completed in about a week’s time. A reading of the operation evaluation report for phosphorus at the Waste Water Treatment Plant was tabled until next month. Doornink did tell members, however, that the report was submitted by the October 1 deadline as required.

Larson told the council that the terms of the loan called for a 3.8 percent interest rate with seven annual payments of approximately $21,000 each. Loader Whether to repair the old loader or purchase/lease a new loader was the question. Doornink told the council that the city’s current loader is in need of several repairs and that he had prepared options for the lease and/or purchase of a new loader. The council has been pondering that very issue the past few months. The current loader has a leaking radiator, needs tires (three continually go flat), has a center pin issue, rusty radiator and oil cooler, a squealing serpentine belt, aging batteries, and a steering issue. Doornink told the council that they could put several thousands of dollars into the old loader but that would not increase its trade-in value of about $25,000 to $30,000. After several minutes of discuss, Mayor Larson and the council agreed that Doornink should proceed with needed repairs on the old loader so it could make it through this next winter while they try to budget funds for a replacement in 2015. Library Proclamation Paula Brandt, Glenwood City resident and member of the newly formed Friends of the Glenwood City Library, Inc., was present to ask the council to support and sign a proclamation declaring October 19-25, 2014 as National Friends of Libraries Week. Brandt said the goal of the local group is to provide additional support to the library. The GC Friends group as an Incorporation will be able to access resources for the library that were previously unattainable. The council voted unanimously to sign the proclamation in support of National Friends of Libraries Week. In other council action: • Approved operator licenses for: Les D. Warren, Michele L. Hanson, Kristin M. Hurtgen, Margery E. Jordheim, and Carey J. Kuehl. •Approved 30-day burning permits for John Best (5-1 vote with DeGross dissenting) and Nancy Graese (4-2 vote with DeGross and Peterson dissenting). • Tabled action on a new combination Class “B” retail license application for Jeffrey Allen Kuehl after city clerk-treasurer Shari Rosenow informed the council that no license was currently available. •Approved the purchase of new voting equipment for $6,900. • Took no action on updates to the personnel policy, drug and alcohol policy, and the summer rec updates. • Went into closed session to consider the financial, medical, social or personal histories or disciplinary data of specific persons. Mayor Larson reported that no action was taken after reconvening into open session. Continued from page 1 The colloidal clay discharge from industrial sand mines “is something new that was not taken into account when the permit was written,” she said. Chippewa County currently has ten sand mines in operation, and several more sand mines are proposed. One proposed sand mine in the Town of Howard alone would cover two thousand acres. The DNR currently is working on updates for the stormwater permit, Dix said. Initially, all sand mining companies want the mines to be drained internally, but not one of them, on start up, can be internally drained, so they are all externally drained, Dix said. The mines are supposed to manage their stormwater and not discharge it until it is clean, she said. The DNR regulates both stormwater and wastewater. When stormwater mingles with wastewater, it becomes wastewater, Dix said. Sand mines are supposed to limit their stormwater discharge to the maximum extent practicable, and the cost of management is taken into consideration, Dix said. When wastewater is discharged, there is a limit of 40 milligrams of sediment per liter, she said. Berge said that representatives from the Chippewa County land conservation office had collected water samples on his property, and the discharge from the DS mine had contained more than 12,000 milligrams of sediment per liter. “We are not dropping it. We are not saying we can’t do anything … we’re looking at the whole picture before moving ahead to see where we’re going,” Dix said. DNR fishery staff and a DNR water resource biologist also have been assessing the situation, she said. Chuck Flodquist, who farms downstream from Mark Berge, said there was a significant amount of water coming through his place right after the September 3 rainstorm. The water tapered off, but then on Friday, September 5, there was “a lot of water” again, he said. Flodquist said he tried to call the DNR but everyone he talked to referred him to someone else. Seth Ebel of Chippewa County land conservation was the first person to take a look at what had happened on his farm. “There was a half an inch of clay on everything,” Flodquist said. Regulations This area of Wisconsin is already experiencing issues with sand mines, and now there are thousands of acres of new mines being proposed, said Town of Howard resident Susan LaNou. The DNR has no ability to say “no” if the sand mines meet the permit requirements, Dix said. The DNR cannot propose legislation. Representatives and senators in this area must propose legislation to the state Legislature, she said. “Our local state Assemblyman has no clue. Nothing will happen in Madison,” Berge said. Tom Larson of Colfax is the representative for the state’s 67th Assembly District that covers Chippewa County and much of Dunn County. Representative Larson “knows what is going on, but he doesn’t care,” said one gentleman in the audience. The best way to draw attention to the problems with sand mining is to write letters to the DNR secretary “so they understand how large the issue is,” Dix said, adding, “they do not realize it in Madison.” The petition to the Natural Resources Board asking for a strategic analysis of sand mining “is a good start,” she said. Midwest Environmental Advocates has written the petition. After signatures have been gathered, MEA plans to submit the petition to the Natural Resources Board in October or November. Two years ago, members of the Natural Resources Board came to look at sand mines, but they only looked at “the better sites,” said Ken Schmitt, a Town of Howard resident. Area residents must “inundate” the DNR secretary with letters and provide specific details about what has been seen and experienced in the sand mining areas, Dix said. A good example would be the September rain event and the observation of the amount of water slowing down and then seeing another flush and the subsequent clay accumulation, she said. People should write and talk about “realistic things that are tangible,” Dix said. Writing to the state health department also would be a good strategy, she said. Reclamation Another sand mining topic Dix addressed was mine reclamation. Several people in the audience wondered how agriculture could be one of the accepted end results of mine reclamation after the sandstone filter for the groundwater has been removed. If the sandstone filter has been removed, farm chemicals or other contaminants will be able to easily get into the groundwater, they said. If the reclamation plan is to bring the land back to agriculture, the mine operators have to prove that they have achieved the proposed end use, Dix said. “Six inches of topsoil on rock is not farmland,” she said, adding that she hoped the county land conservation offices in mining areas would not accept such a proposal. One gentleman in the audience mentioned the topsoil study in Chippewa County being conducted in conjunction with UW-River Falls. The first test plot will grow native grasses and prairie plants and will not be a farm field that can be plowed and planted to corn, he said. Dix said if the end use for mine reclamation is agriculture, she “would like to see enough to till.” Bore holes Several people also mentioned bore holes and that people exploring for frac sand do not always close the holes when they are finished prospecting. The exploration companies are required to submit bore hole abandonment forms, and one company wants to keep those forms confidential, Dix said. The DNR is fighting the idea that the abandonment forms should be confidential, she said. If the bore holes are over ten feet deep or if they intersect with the groundwater, the companies are required to properly abandon the holes with bentonite and report that they have abandoned the holes, Dix said. As of October 1, the DNR has citation authority for boreholes, Schmitt said, and Dix confirmed that it was true. “If they can’t close bore holes, what makes you think they can run a sand mine?” commented one person in the audience. What many people do not realize is that if the mine operator walks away and does not close the bore holes or does not do the mine reclamation, it is the landowner’s responsibility to fix it, Dix said. People who attended the meeting also talked about fugitive dust from the sand mines, sand blowing off the mine faces and sand blowing off trucks hauling the sand. One gentleman in the audience predicted that a marsh he has observed next to a sand mine will be filled in with blowing sand within ten years. Dix said the air emissions permits are complicated and that a DNR air emissions engineer would be better equipped to answer their questions. Anyone wishing to contact Dix about problems with sand mining can call her at (715) 421-7809 or (715) 421-9914 (cell). Dix is the interim frac sand liaison and previously worked in DNR enforcement. The DNR is planning to hire someone to permanently fill the position, and after a replacement is hired, Dix will go back to working in enforcement. Dix was appointed the interim frac sand liaison after Tom Woletz retired last year. Gary Stene: candidate for 67th Assembly District By LeAnn R. Ralph Editor’s Note: This paper sent an e-mail to Representative Tom Larson’s office on September 22, and after waiting a day or two for a reply, called Representative Larson’s Madison office to leave a message that he should contact this paper about doing an interview for a candidate profile article. As of press time, Representative Larson has not yet contacted this paper. COLFAX — Gary Stene of Colfax will be the Democratic candidate on the November 4 ballot for representative of the state’s 67th Assembly District. Stene is a resident of Colfax and currently works as a special education aide for the Colfax school district, a position that he has held for 17 years. Stene has served two terms on the Colfax Board of Education and has served five terms as the Colfax village president. He is currently serving his fourth term on the Dunn County Board. Stene has served on the board of the Dunn County Economic Development Corporation for about ten years. He recently visited the Colfax Messenger officer to answer questions about his position on several issues. Here are the questions and Gary Stene’s answers. 1. What do you see as the biggest issues facing the 67th Assembly District? What do you hope to accomplish regarding those issues? The issue of local control, particularly as it relates to the mining issue. Local levels of government — townships and counties — should be making the decisions regarding mining in their area, and not somebody in Madison. I think that’s an important issue. The funding of local governments is an issue, because in effect, when they are under funded, it chips away at local control to deliver the services. Look at Chippewa County. They went to the wheel tax. One of the supervisors said, “It’s our least worst option.” Perhaps if they had gotten the correct amount of money from the state, maybe they wouldn’t have had to do that. I think that’s an issue at all levels. State reimbursement or state participation in funding local government [through stateshared revenue] is vital for small levels of government, townships, villages and counties, to deliver the services that they are elected to do. There are revenue limits and spending caps that should perhaps be looked at. That again relates to local control. If you have revenue limits and spending caps, do you really have local control. I think that’s something that should be looked at. Either doing away with the caps or adjusting them. [Revenue limits were put into place in 1993.] The way things currently are, we are cannibalizing our local government, unless you want to go to referendum. I don’t think you should have to go to referendum for ongoing maintenance. You should be able to pay your bills and do common sense maintenance. We can’t cut our way to solving our problems. It would have been nice if the revenue limits would have applied to something like the cost of health insurance. But the limits didn’t apply to that. There are no easy answers, but I think we can make some headway. You have to look for more revenue streams and ongoing revenue streams. Not raising the gas tax for all these years. All of these things sound good. Giving money back to people — who can argue with that? But in the end, that $840 million, if I’d have had a say, I would have sent it to the schools or sent it to transportation and roads. We certainly need that. It will be up to the people to decide what direction they want to go. 2. People living in the Town of Howard and the Town of Cooks Valley and beyond are concerned about the sand mines and their impact on neighbors and the environment. What is your opinion of the petition to the Natural Resources Board asking for a strategic analysis of the effects of sand mines on the environment? I think most of our local officials are regular people like I am. They are not DNR experts, and they are not water experts. I really think there is a place for the DNR where they could and should help the local officials get the information they need so the local officials can make informed and intelligent decisions regarding sand mines in their communities. With the cut-back in the DNR’s budget and cut-back in manpower, that doesn’t lend itself to helping these people out. Local control — the local people should make the decisions but on a state-wide level, the DNR is responsible for everything, and I don’t know why they can’t provide the expertise for the people here. I think there are some policy issues there. You hire good people in the DNR. You hire people with degrees. Let them do their jobs. This whole sand mine thing needs to get as much light shed on it and as much information as possible so that everybody can make an informed and intelligent decision based on facts, not on rumor, not on innuendo, not on stories we hear. I do know that, in my time serving in elected positions, I always worried about Wisconsin’s water. I think every official should Assembly Please see pg 8 Page 6 - Tribune Press Reporter - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 Bulldogs bulldoze Mounders 39-6; qualify for WIAA football playoffs BOYCEVILLE — The Bulldogs’ offensive unit performed with lethal efficiency here last Friday evening against the Mounders. Boyceville, playing at home for the sixth time this season, scored four, first-half touchdowns (two in each quarter) including a trio of electrifying, one-play drives to take a 26-6 halftime lead over a stunned Elk Mound squad. The Bulldogs, who recovered five Elk Mound turnovers in the game, tacked on two more touchdowns in the second half to keep the Mounders winless in the Dunn-St. Croix football standings while they improved to 3-2 in conference play and 6-2 overall and qualified for the WIAA playoffs for the fourth time in six seasons with the 39-6 final October 10. Junior quarterback Hunter Anderson was a model of passing efficiency as he tossed the pigskin just ten times, completing six for 90 yards and three touchdowns. Jordan Morse helped keep the Bulldogs’ offensive attack balanced as he rushed just nine times but finished with a teamleading 102 yards that included a scintillating 66-yard gallop for Boyceville’s first score of the game. “I thought that our offense was very effective and showed that we have some big play capability,” Boyceville head coach Brian Roemhild said of the win. “We were very balanced in the run game and very opportunistic in the passing game.” Boyceville turned three of Elk Mound’s five turnovers in touchdowns. Roemhild acknowledged the key role that the Mounders’ mistakes and the Bulldogs’ ability to capitalize on them played into the game. “We focus on creating turnovers,” he said. “Our goal was to create over 25 turnovers for the season and after Friday nights game we were at 27.” A fact, that speaks volumes for the Bulldogs defense which held the Mounders to just 137 yards rushing on 38 tries and 72 yards through the air with three picks. “Defensively, we did a much better job of stopping the run and limiting their opportunities,” noted Roemhild. “We have a lot of different guys that step up and play a big roll each week,” added the coach. “We try to prepare the guys for that fact that you never know when it is going to be your turn to make an impact.” Such was the case for running back Jordan Morse. The Boyceville junior burst into the open and out ran the Elk Mound defense for the game’s opening score - a beautiful 66yard run - with just 2:41 left in the first quarter. Jake Lake would kick the point after for a 7-0 Boyceville lead. The score came just one play after the Bulldogs’ defense held Elk Mound running back Hunter Adelman to just two yards on a fourth and four play from Boyceville’s 36 yard line. That single play seemed to deflate the Mounders, whom until that point, had picked up three first downs and 47 yards in their first two possessions. Boyceville took control of the game just a few plays later when the Bulldogs’ senior defensive back Tyler Stroo snared the first of his two interceptions. The pick put Boyceville on the visitors’ 25 yard line. On a third and eight, senior Brady Schutts put the Bulldogs back in the end zone when he took the end around and went 23 yards to push the Boyceville lead to 13-0 with 1:33 remaining in the first quarter. Lake’s kick sailed wide on the point after attempt. A block-in-the-back call on the ensuing kick-off return pushed the Mounders back to their own 12 to begin the next series. A bad, first-down snap sent Elk Mound further back as quarterback Shawn Flynn scrambled to recover the ball at the two. A few plays later, Flynn was fortunate to escape the end zone as he was sacked at the one to end the first ELUSIVE QB — Boyceville quarterback Hunter Anderson (#12) made a quick cut to avoid an Elk Mound defender on his way to a 54-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter of the Bulldogs’ home football game October 10. The run was called back due to a block in the back, but Anderson threw three touchdown passes in the 39-6 Bulldogs’ win. —photo by Shawn DeWitt quarter. Cole Tyman’s 32-yard punt and Hunter Anderson’s three yard return opened the second period of play. The Bulldogs’ offense took control at the EM 30 and went for the jugular. For the second time in the game, Boyceville needed just one play to punctuate the end zone. This time Anderson tossed the ball to an open Brett Boda to complete the 30-yard scoring play just 15 seconds into the second quarter. Lake put foot to leather and sent the ball through the uprights for a 20-0 Boyceville advantage. The Mounders would take their next possession on a move into territory after a 20-yard Noah Zurbuchen run and fouryard pass from Flynn to Cole Tyman help EM overcome a third and 23. But just two plays after earning a fresh set of downs, Elk Mound gave the ball back when Zurbuchen fumbled and Boyceville’s Brett Boda pounced on the loose ball at the Mounders 42. Hunter Anderson went up top on the first play from scrimmage and connected with Mitch Leach for the 42-yard aerial and score Boyceville’s third, one-play scoring drive of the half. Although Lake’s PAT missed, the Bulldogs held a 26-0 lead with 7:13 to play in the half. The Mounders would again drive into the Bulldogs’ territory only to have to punt. This time Tyman’s boot pinned Boyceville at its own one. After gaining just five yards, Boyceville had to punt. Elk Mound took the ball at the Boyceville 34 following a fair catch of the punt. It took just two plays for the Mounders to cover that distance and break the goal line for the first and only time in the game. A 27-yard pass from Flynn to Jonathan Storing moved the Mounders to the seven where Noah Zurbuchen ran it in to the end zone at 2:11. The kick after missed leaving the score 26-6 in the Bulldogs favor. Boyceville, however, was not content to sit on that lead going into the intermission. After taking the kick off, a pass interference call moved Boyceville to its 45. A 10-yard run by Logan McAbee-Thomas and an eight yard pass to Brady Schutts had the Bulldogs at the EM 37. It was on the next play that Hunter Anderson ran through the Mounders defense for another score but a holding penalty erased the points and set the Bulldogs back 10 yards from the spot of the foul - the EM 28. After an incompletion and a sack pushed Boyceville back to its own 46, Anderson again got loose and ran down the middle of the field for what appeared to be a 54-yard score on a fourth and 28. But it too was negated by yet another Boyceville penalty (this time a block in the back). Boyceville punted and Elk Mound took a knee to close out the half. Boyceville would find its way to pay dirt twice more after the intermission. Hunter Anderson intercepted a Flynn pass at midway through the third to give Boyceville the ball at the EM 23. After a first-down incompletion, Boyceville gave the ball to Morse for gains of eight and five yards that set up a first and goal at the 10. Brady Schutts caught the ensuing pass for the 10-yard touchdown. Lake’s kick made it 33-6 with 5:09 to play in the third. The Bulldogs final scoring drive began just six ticks into the final quarter. With the exception of a pass play that lost seven yards and had the locals flagged for a hold, Boyceville stayed on the ground moving the ball from its own 32 to the Mounders 28 with runs of 20 and 11 yards by Hunter Anderson and three carries each by Morse and Draeger for 17 and 21 yards respectively. The Bulldogs’ first team players then gave way to their substitutes, who carried the ball the rest of the way capped by Hunter Lipke’s one-yard plunge for Boyceville’s and the game’s final score, 39-6, with 4:24 to play. Boyceville will finish the regular season on the road this Friday, October 17 when it travels to Colfax to face the second-place Vikings (4-1, 6-1). The Bulldogs could earn a share of the conference’s runner-up spot with a win over the Vikings, whose lone defeat this season, a 26-13 setback, came back on week three to conference leader St. Croix Central. Bulldogs finish regular cross country season at Amery and improved times at Arcadia course By Kelsie Hoitomt The Boyceville cross country team had two final meets this past week with one in Amery last Tuesday and then they were in Arcadia on Saturday to wrap up their regular season. Amery The Bulldogs finished fifth out of seven at the Amery meet with a total of 116 points; first went to Unity/Luck with 42 points. The Lady Dogs had just four runners and did not field a team. Mitch Pustol paved the way to the finish line for the Bulldogs. He finished in sixth place out of 59 with a time of 18:34.05. Max Engel has been the consistent number two runner for the team. He ran a 20:10.35 for 20th place. Freshman Rian Corr followed in 29th place with a season best run time of 20:36.42. Jack Kapsner and Jerod Nelson ran four tenths of a second apart in 37 and 38th with times of 21:11.20 and 21:15.03. Kiel Anderson was a few places behind in 42nd with a time of 21:30.64 and then Caleb Hagen finished up the team in 52nd with a time of 22:52.79. Shiann Wagner crossed the finish line first for the Lady Bulldogs. She took fifth place out of 39 girls with a time of 22:19.85, which was her personal best. Marissa Dormanen followed in 16th with a time of 24:07.46. Then it was Emma Harnisch in 33rd (27:35.80) and Brianna Foer in 38th with a 29:47.26. IN THE MIDST of running his season best time is Boyceville’s Rian Corr at the Amery Invitational that was held last Tuesday, October 7. —photo by Missy Klatt Arcadia On Saturday, they were at “The Farm” for the Holte Invitational that was hosted by the Arcadia High School. The boys’ team ended up ninth out of 12 teams in the Division 2 bracket with Pustol again leading the team in 11th out of 86 with a time of 18:25.31, nearly ten seconds off his time in Amery. Engel followed in 38th with a time of 19:59.59, which was an improvement as well and then it was Kapsner in 44th with a 20:12.80. Anderson improved his time by nearly a minute with a finish of 20:40.06, which put him in 53rd. Nelson then followed right behind him in 54th with a 20:47.86. Hagen had one of his best races as well with a time of 21:33.35 for 62nd. And rounding out the team then was Michael Chich in 75th with a 23:14.71. The girls were not able to field a team again, but four runners did participate. Wagner ran first for the Lady Bulldogs with a time of 22:40.80, which put her in tenth out of 57. Dormanen then followed in 29th with a time of 24:41.53 and Harnisch was next in 34th with a 25:55.98. Foer was the anchor with a time of 28:37.15 for 49th place. That wrapped up the Bulldogs’ regular season.

Both the Bulldogs and the Vikings were undefeated going into Tuesday night’s contest, but the victor was Colfax in a threeset match. The Mounders beat St. Croix Central Tuesday to remain undefeated going into Boyceville’s home game Thursday. The Bulldogs’ record went to 5-2 after losing in three sets of 25-12, 25-10 and 25-18 to the Mounders. It was a battle of the undefeated on Tuesday night and the Vikings prevailed by dominating all three sets in finals of 25-14, 25-20 and 25-16. The Vikings were in total control from the get go with a strong lead of 11-4 in the first set and then 22-12 before they finished with the win. The second set was more evenly matched with the score tied several times including at 6’s, 10’s and 13’s before the Vikings pulled away. The Bulldogs brought the score within three points after two strong serves by Hannah Guy and a block by Lexi Peterson and Erica Sempf. Marki Lagerstrom served up two more points and Peterson and Madysn Riek blocked up front to put the score at 23-20, but Kori Buchanan fired in two kills to give the Vikings the win. The Bulldogs entered the third set without their attack leader Abbey Bird due an injury suffered early in the previous set. The Vikings quickly took over with a lead of 8-2, but the theme of the night seemed to be that of a “yo-yo” as the Bulldogs brought the score back to within three. The Dogs were down 14-11 before falling back down to 18-11. They jumped up 16 points before Colfax secured their victory with some hard kills. On Thursday night, the Mounders completely dominated the court against the Bulldogs. Their team of seniors proved to be a force to reckon with. The Bulldogs were unable to get their attacks past the Mounder’s hands. They were a wall on blocks and the majority of the balls bounced off their hands, back to the Bulldogs and the girls were not able to react fast enough. Elly Friberg landed the victory kills in both the first and second set. The third set was the Bulldogs’ best performance. They were up 7-6 and then 9-7 with the help of a solo block my Mckenzie Schultz and a kill by her as well. With Bird out, Schultz’s senior leadership really stepped up at the net. Cassie Malean, Riek and Sempf also played important roles at the net. Malean landed a kill to put them ahead 11-10. She also did a fantastic job of taking digs off of the Mounder’s attacks. Despite their efforts in the third set, the Bulldogs began to trail at 16-20 and soon the game was all over with the Mounders ending things at 25-18. The Bulldogs had a match in Elmwood Tuesday night and they will be in Shell Lake on Saturday for a Triangular that is scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. They will then begin their Regional play on Tuesday, October 24. Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - Tribune Press Reporter - Page 7 Panthers remain undefeated after mauling Toppers 43-12 By Kelsie Hoitomt HAMMOND — The St. Croix Central Panthers advanced to 5-0 in Dunn-St. Croix Conference after Friday’s 43-12 victory over the Glenwood City Hilltoppers. The Panthers scored six touchdowns against the Toppers including one on an interception. The Toppers turned the ball over a total of three times with two in the first quarter and one early in the second. The game started with Mitch Hurtgen giving the ball the boot on the kick off. The Panthers started on their own 30 and only moved to the 26 before punting on fourth and 13. Jake O’Meara ran the punt return to the 40, but the second snap ended up fumbled and recovered by Central’s Josh Freyholtz. This put the Panthers on the right side of the field and in four plays Cody Gostovich was in the end zone for the first touchdown of the game. The kick was no good so the scoreboard read 6-0 at 5:37. Gostovich’s kick went out of the end zone and resulted in a touch back for the Toppers. From the 20, they moved up seven yards on a pass completion from Nick Schone to O’Meara. Schone fired back to throw again, but this time he was met by Connor Rogers. Rogers got ahold of the ball and took off running for another Panther touchdown with 4:57 on the clock now. Kyle Larson held onto the ball for the quarterback keeper on the two-point conversion play, which put the score at 14-0. The Toppers following drive resulted in a punt. They were able to stop the Panthers however and force them to punt as well after Joel Ormson blocked a pass on third down. Jake Nelson returned the punt to the 38 yard line to start the Toppers’ drive. Two passes fell incomplete and then Evan Nielson stepped in front of the ball for an interception. There was however a flag thrown against Central, which gave the Toppers the ball back and an extra 15 yards. Schone handed the ball off to Nathan Mrdutt and he picked up a 13 yards gain to give the Toppers their biggest gain of the night. The possession was cut short however when the pass to Todd Petersen fell into the hands of Ryan Gulich. The Panthers moved the ball from the Toppers’ 48 to the 19 in just two plays. The second quarter started with the ball on the 19 and then soon they were on the five yard line. From there, Gostovich drove in the touchdown run with 8:38 on the clock. He turned around and kicked the extra point, which put the score at 21-0. The Toppers were again stopped short on their drive when an interception was thrown. This time it was Jason Matteson that caught the pass. This put the Panthers on the Toppers’ 27. Gostovich ran the ball for the first down at the 15, but the Toppers’ defense kicked in and held them to fourth and two. The Toppers ended up with the ball back in their possession on downs at the 19, which set them in motion for their longest drive of the night. From the 19, Billy Norenberg ran to the 26. Then it was Mrdutt with a couple strong carries to get them up the field. With 1:48 on the clock and the play at fourth down and four to go, the Toppers called a time out. After the time out, the ball was handed off to Norenberg and BILLY NORENBERG carries the ball to the nine yard line, which sets the Toppers up for their first touchdown. —photo by Kelsie Hoitomt he successfully reached the first down. O’Meara then ran the ball for yet another first down for an 11 yard gain, which put the Toppers on the 42. With the clock running down from 60 seconds, Mrdutt grabbed three hands off, which pushed the Toppers into Panther territory and gave them another first down. The clock was however not on their side as it ticked down to zero with Schone in possession of the ball. After standing high and dry at midfield with no score, the Toppers had redemption on their minds to start the third quarter. Nelson received the kick off and brought it out to their own 40. Schone then connected with Norenberg to put the ball on the 48. The Toppers were at fourth and two so they handed the ball to Mrdutt who surged through to get the first down, which put them on the Panther’s 49. Two passes fell incomplete before Schone hit Petersen up the middle of the field for the first down at the 35. A penalty was called against Central, which moved the ball up to the 20. From there, Schone hit Jake Hierlmeier for an 11 yard reception, which put them at the nine. Norenberg cut to the right and headed up field for a four yard gain. Norenberg’s run set the Toppers in motion for their first touchdown Anchoring for the team was Emma Scholler in 26th with a time of 25:37.63. The boys’ team had Riley Schutz and Jack Kremer leading the way. Schutz placed 15th with a time of 19:44.58 and Kremer had a 20:01.50 for 18th place out of 59 runners.

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

Lady Toppers heat up on the course in time for conference meet By Kelsie Hoitomt The Topper cross country runners finished off their regular season with a meet in Amery last Tuesday and then they were in Eau Claire on Saturday. The Lady Hilltoppers were victorious on Tuesday after their top seven runners scored 29 points against the three other teams in the small schools division.

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

Husbands Are Husbands A man was sitting reading his papers when his wife hit him round the head with a frying pan. "What was that for?" the man asked. The wife replied, "That was for the piece of paper with the name Jenny on it that I found in your pants pocket." The man then said, "When I was at the races last week, Jenny was the name of the horse I bet on." The wife apologized and went on with the housework. Three days later the man is watching TV when his wife bashes him on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious. Upon regaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit again. The wife replied, "Your horse called." Senior Love I was in my backyard trying to launch a kite. I threw the kite up in the air, the wind would catch it for a few seconds, then it would come crashing back down to earth. I tried this a few more times with no success. All the while, my wife Karen is watching from the kitchen window, muttering to herself how men need to be told how to do everything. She opens the window and yelled to me, "You need a piece of tail." I turned with a confused look on my face and yelled back, "Make up your mind. Last night, you told me to go fly a kite."

Box 213, Glenwood City, WI 54013 or you can email: [email protected] Continued from page 5 worry about Wisconsin’s water. The DNR is one of our guardians of the water. The court case over by Plover. The high capacity well. The court said the DNR did not take into account the things they should have taken into account. There’s a lesson in that. The DNR has a responsibility. It is part of our constitution that we look after the welfare of our people, and water is one of them. I read the article the other day. It exposed a big chasm between the upper levels in the DNR and the people doing the work. You have to take politics out of government agencies and let them do their jobs. You have to take the politics out of the funding and for manpower and for direction. I don’t have a degree in science or water. I have a friend who has worked in the DNR for more than 30 years, and he is so disgusted. They put a political appointee to run the DNR with no experience whatsoever. They get told what they can pursue and what they can’t pursue. And when the funding is cut and the manpower is cut, there’s only so much they can do. 3. In September, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals lifted the stay on voter ID for the November elections, and the Government Accountability Board decided to implement the 2011 law. Now municipal clerks and the GAB say there is no money in their budgets to implement the law. Should the state issue emergency funds to the municipalities to implement voter ID? Or should the municipalities cut something else from their budgets to pay for implementing voter ID? My opinion on the voter ID law is that in 95 percent of state, they never did come up with any proven voter fraud. If it’s not broke, why fix it. Assuming that there are some areas that have issues, they should have fixed those issues there. We have no problem in our rural area with voter fraud. I don’t know why you wouldn’t make it easier to vote. But having lost that argument, now it doesn’t make any sense to change the voting parameters and requirements and not expect that you are going to have an added expense to educate the people. So, yes. The state should allocate some money to get this done. I will take the Republicans at face value. That it wasn’t done to stunt or shift the vote, but if that is really, truly the case, and you want everybody to vote, you should allocate money so notices can go out and people can do the proper thing. You would think that a change of this magnitude, you would have budgeted an X amount of money to make the first year or two as seamless as possible, to make voting as easy as possible. They didn’t allocate any money. That’s not very good planning. 4. Economists say that people having money to spend is what helps the economy improve and ultimately creates jobs. What is your opinion about increasing the minimum wage? I would be in favor of increasing the minimum wage. It would benefit the overall economy. There would be more money for people. I don’t think you can live on the minimum wage now. What final figure we come to is all open to discussion. But yes, philosophically, we should raise the minimum wage. There was an interesting article about the CEO of an insurance company. In the 60s, he was homeless. He worked different jobs. If he took the minimum wage paid then and projected it up to (today), it would be about $10.50. It hasn’t done that. Here is a man, who has a GED and is the head of a company, who says it makes sense to raise the minimum wage. The purchasing power has been so hollowed out. 5. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau is projecting a $1.8 billion budget deficit over the next two years. The Department of Health Services has asked for $760 million over the next two years to pay for Medicaid. Taxpayers would have saved $206 million under the current state budget if the federal Medicaid money had been accepted, according to the LFB.

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

All rights reserved. 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. Page 10 - Tribune Press Reporter - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 RIVER FALLS — Special guest speaker Sheriff Richard Mack, who is a nationally recognized author in addition to challenging the Federal Government and won in a landmark Supreme Court decision, will be speaking on October 20 and 21 in River Falls. The events are free and open to the public! The first appearance will be on Monday, October 20, 2014, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Big River Church, W10137 570th Ave. River Falls, WI 54022. The presentation is presented b the Wisconsin Constitutional Prayer and Action Group. Directions to St. Mary’s Big River Church: From Hwy 10 Eastbound from Prescott or Hwy 10 Westbound from Ellsworth, turn North onto Cty Hwy E for ¼ mile then turn left onto 570th Ave and the Church is on the left. From River Falls proceed South on Hwy 35 (Main St.) then left onto Cty Hwy E then right onto 570th Ave and Church is on your left. Learn about the Sheriff ’s role in county government and how it affects you and your constitutional rights. Former Sheriff Richard Mack is a powerful experienced speaker. He is a strong advocate for our states’ rights and our individual freedoms. You are invited to hear him speak about the County Sheriff, the Oath of Office, citizens’ personal freedoms and the importance of the office of Sheriff to defend those freedoms. During Mack’s tenure as Sheriff in Graham County, Arizona, federal officers informed sheriffs they would be required to enforce the “Brady Bill.” Mack along with six other sheriffs challenged the constitutionality of the Brady Bill and fought it all the way to the US Supreme Court. Three years later, in a landmark 5-4 split decision based on the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Mack won his case. What happens when government does not obey its own Constitution? What accountability is there for politicians who vote for and pass unconstitutional laws? What happens if they appoint unlawful bureaucracies or allow their agents to violate the natural and legalized rights of American Citizens? What are the dangers of giving government too much power? Sheriff Richard Mack will also be at the Riverview Ballroom, located on the third floor of University Center Building at the University of Wisconsin River Falls at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 21.

HEDLUND O.K. Hedlund, age 83, of Menomonie, formerly of Boyceville, passed away Saturday, October 11, 2014 at his home. Oliver Kellogg “O.K.” Hedlund was born on June 22, 1931 on a farm northwest of Boyceville to Martin R. and Edna (Kellogg) Hedlund. The family moved to Boyceville in 1944 and he graduated from Boyceville High School in 1949. After one and one half years at Luther College, Decorah, Iowa O.K. enlisted in the U.S. Army and served three years, one of which was in Korea, prior to his discharge in 1954. On December 26, 1953 O.K. married Roberta J. Bodette and from this union five children were born who have blessed them with ten grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren. O.K. joined Hedlund Mfg. Co. Inc., a family business, in 1955, and was there until he was the sole survivor of the original four owners. The company was sold in 1985. O.K. and Bobbie resided in rural Boyceville until 1999 when they established a home in Menomonie, WI. O.K. was a lifelong member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Boyceville, and loved his church, where he served in many positions over his lifetime. While in Boyceville he served in positions with the American Legion, Boyceville Village Board, School Board and other organizations. In Menomonie he served with the V.F.W., The ARC of Dunn Co., Disabled and Elderly Transportation and was a member of the Executive Committee for Dunn Co. Farm Progress Days. He was a volunteer driver for the Office on Aging for a number of years and enjoyed transporting dialysis patients for almost five years. After retirement much time was spent fishing, hunting, boating and enjoying their cabin in northern Wisconsin with family and friends. O.K. was very proud to have been one of the founding members of the Dunn Co. Assn. on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, now Arbor Place, and served that organization in various positions. In his later years he enjoyed gardening and sharing the harvest with neighbors and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, an infant brother Donald and his sister Ruth. O.K. is survived by his wife Bobbie; five children, Kristin (Kenneth) Carlsrud, Julianne (William) Fisher, Laura (John) Salmi, Rebecca Johnson, Martin (Brenda) Hedlund; ten grandchildren, Jeremy (Rachel) Carlsrud, Bethany (Daniel) Weiland, Judson (Megan) Fisher, Chelsea Fisher, Hayley (Andy) Fisher, Ian Salmi, Alexandra Salmi, Sam Johnson, Nicole Hedlund and Eric Hedlund; three great-grandchildren, Ava Trinity Salmi, Gracie Weiland and Fox William Fisher. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, October 18, 2014 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Boyceville, WI with Pastor Brad Peterson officiating. There will be visitation at the church from 11:00 a.m. Saturday until the time of the service. Burial will be in Tiffany Cemetery in Boyceville with military honors conducted by Harmon-Harris American Legion Post 314 and Menomonie Veterans Honor Guard. Olson Funeral Home of Menomonie is serving the family. It was O.K.’s request that memorials be given to Trinity Lutheran Church or Arbor Place. To share a memory, please visit obituaries at www.olsonfuneral. com Balanced budget proposed for Boyceville school, enrollment up BOYCEVILLE — The annual meeting of the district residents of the Boyceville school district were presented with a balance budget proposal for the coming school year. The Monday night meeting opened with the annual budget hearing in which District Superintendent Kevin Sipple informed residents that there would be a balanced budget for this coming year. Sipple spoke about the state aids that the district receives and noted that 64 percent of the revenue for school needs comes from state aids. The budget estimates those aids at $5,424,224, but Sipple stated that the district would not have a final figure until Wednesday. The proposed budget estimates those state aids some $110,435 less than the last budget. “The higher the state aids, the lower the levy will be,” Sipple noted. The total expenditures for all funds is estimated at $11,866,951 which will require a tax load of $1,801,585 for operational expenses and another $1,316,132 to service the district’s debt. This amount requires a mill rate of 12.17295 mills, which is a four percent increase over last year. The district just recently learned that the equalized valuation of the district is up slightly to $256,118,527. The valuation of the district peeked in 2008 at over $285 million. Sipple also talked about the district’s debt, noting that it is declining. At present the district is carrying a debt load of $9.3 million. Stating, “If we stay to the plan, without any large investments,” the district debt will drop considerable over the next few years. Sipple also addressed the school’s fund balance at the end of the budget period, which is estimated to be at over $2.3 million. He stated, “The fund balance is where it should be.” He continued, “this is the first time in 18 years that we will not have cash flow borrowing.” In the past, the district has had to borrow money for a short time to meet cash flow expenditures, before tax revenues are received. The board will approve the budget and tax levy at their meeting on Monday, October 27. Enrollment Up The annual meeting report included a third Friday count of enrollment history. That report indicated that the district has 21 more students than it had a year ago. The count is 787 students in early childhood through grade twelve. Last year at this time the count was 766. The district high was in 2001 with a count of 953 students. During his report at the annual meeting Sipple noted to the residents of the district that, “there is little doubt a transformation is taking place in education. Our school district is on the cutting edge of making these transformational changes. We continue to lead in the use of technology, adoption of Educator Effectiveness, adoption of the Common Core Standards, RTI, PBIS, Smarter Balance Assessment System, just to mention a few.” Sipple praised the staff and students for their advancements, saying that the district has an average of 22.5 on the ACT tests noting that it is higher than it has ever been and that more students took the test. But he told the meeting that after discussing the testing with other members of the staff, they concluded that students would be spending some two and a half weeks during the school year taking tests. “That’s time taken away from instruction,” Sipple concluded. Sipple also noted that Tiffany Creek Elementary School received a Wisconsin Title One School of Recognition Award for the fifth straight year. Principal Nick Kaiser has just returned from Madison Monday evening after accepting the award. School Board President Gail Stark was elected chairman of the meeting and she plowed through the numerous items on the agenda. The meeting approved all of the agenda items without making changes from prior years.

Ralph MENOMONIE — The Dunn County Planning, Resources and Development Committee is recommending that the county board approve new zoning maps. The PRD committee recommended approval of the zoning maps at the October 7meeting. The Dunn County Board approved the new comprehensive zoning code in October of 2013. In the year since then, Bob Colson, Dunn County planner and zoning administrator, has been working with town plan commissions and town boards to modify the General Agriculture maps to fit the particular township. When the county board approved the new zoning code, all of the maps were of the “plain vanilla” variety in the form of General Agriculture, Colson said. Most of 16 zoned townships in Dunn County are mostly zoned General Agriculture. Much of the Town of Lucas, h o w e v e r, w h i c h i s w e s t o f Menomonie, is zoned Primary Agriculture. The Town of Grant, north of Colfax, is zoned Intensive Agriculture. The Town of Wilson, northeast of Colfax, also is mostly zoned Primary Agriculture. Each of the town plan commissions and the town boards have already approved the new zoning maps. Adopting the amended zoning maps was on the agenda for the Dunn County Board’s October 15 meeting. Unzoned A total of six townships in Dunn County declined to adopt the county’s new comprehensive zoning code and are currently unzoned. The unzoned townships are the Towns of New Haven, Sand Creek, Eau Galle, Elk Mound, Spring Brook and Rock Creek. The Town of New Haven held a referendum during the April election in 2012 asking residents whether New Haven should be zoned or unzoned. The New Haven Town Board had approved a moratorium on sand mining several months earlier. Town residents voted 98 to 88 adopt county zoning. The New Haven Town Board adopted county zoning at the April of 2012 board meeting. Two New Haven town board supervisors approved county zoning in 2012. Town board member Marv Prestrud abstained from voting because he had signed a contract with a frac sand company. When asked about the Town of New Haven, Colson, the county’s zoning administrator, said the town board had declined to adopt the new zoning code and is now currently unzoned again. Housing density For the past several meetings, the PRD committee has been struggling with the issue of housing density and land division. Committee members have settled on a housing density of 8:1 in areas zoned General Agriculture. The housing density of one house for every eight acres allows a minimum lot size of one acre and is intended to preserve farmland and open space in Dunn County. For example, if a landowner wanted to sell a 40-acre parcel for housing development, a total of five houses would be allowed on the parcel. If the landowner sold five one-acre lots for development, the other 35 acres would have to remain as open space or farmland. Committee members also struggled with transfer of development rights and eventually agreed that a landowner should be able to transfer development rights between two contiguous parcels owned by the same person. For example, if a farmer owned two 40-acre parcels next to each other, and one of the 40 acres was productive farmland but the other 40 acres was wooded, the farmer could transfer the development rights from the farmland to the wooded acreage, so that instead of five houses on each parcel, the wooded parcel could contain ten houses. The 40 acres in farmland would then have to remain as farmland or open space. Amendment In order to amend the county’s zoning code to include housing density and transfer of development rights, each of the 16 zoned townships in Dunn County will have to approve the amendments. The procedure for amending the zoning code includes filing a petition with the PRD committee a nd wit h t he count y b oa rd supervisors representing those particular townships. The petition to amend the zoning code must also be filed with the county clerk and the county zoning administrator and must be sent to the town boards no less than ten days prior to a public hearing on the amendment. The town boards can approve or reject the amendment prior to the public hearing or at the public hearing. County residents also will have the opportunity to give their opinions about the proposed zoning amendment at the public hearing. All together, the town boards would have 30 days to approve or reject the amendment. The agenda for the Dunn County Planning, Resources and Development Committee’s October 14 meeting included a review of the proposed amendments to the zoning code. The Dunn County Board could take action on the proposed zoning amendments at a December meeting. The county board generally does not meet in December, but Bob Walter, chair of the PRD committee, said it was a possible a special meeting would be scheduled in December on another matter. If the county board does not take action on the zoning amendments this year, the amendments could be on the agenda for the January meeting, he said. By Kelsie Hoitomt Drinking cups turned into bugs? Although that sounds quite impossible, it has in fact been done by Maurice Nolden and his wife Jackie. For a few years now the Noldens have been taking old drinking cups out of livestock barns and turning them into Lady Bugs with rebar painted legs and antennas. The bugs are all specially welded together by Maurice and hand painted by Jackie in the traditional Lady Bug red and black. Custom colors have been done as well for Military branches or football teams. The Noldens first made about six of them and took them to a local restaurant that they frequented. The waitresses all wanted one and soon they themselves had people interested. Before the Noldens knew it, they had made around $500-600. Maurice and Jackie did not feel right keeping the money so they decided to give it to disadvantaged veterans. First they set out to give money to one individual veteran, but soon that became too difficult. Someone then suggested that they take the money to a Veterans’ office so they can disburse the funds where they are needed. Maurice and Jackie have since been traveling the state of Wisconsin, going around to Veterans’ offices where they walk in and drop a check off; quite a surprise to those behind the Dunn County Sheriff’s Office partners with 24-7 and West Wisconsin Telcom for Packer cards DUNN COUNTY — The next time you see a Dunn County Sheriff ’s Deputy, you might just be offered a Green Bay Packers Player trading card. Sheriff Dennis Smith says the department recently partnered with 24-7 & West Wisconsin Telcom and the Green Bay Packers to offer Green Bay Packer Player trading cards. The special Green Bay Packer Player trading cards include pictures of 20 different Packers players and team management. On the reverse side, the cards have crime prevention tips and helpful everyday suggestions for young people. The football card program is designed to make it easier for young people to become acquainted with deputies in a fun way. Though the program is mainly intended for school children, the cards are for Packers fans of any age. Deputies of the Dunn County Sheriff ’s Office together with 24-7 & West Wisconsin Telcom will distribute 1-2 trading cards each week for the remainder of the football season. If you see a Dunn County Deputy on patrol, please feel free to wave him/her down and ask for the GB player trading card of the week. If the officer is not busy with a service call, they can stop and give you the featured card of the week. 24-7 & WEST WISCONSIN TELCOM recently presented the Dunn County Sheriff’s Office with a commemorative 2014 Green Bay Packer Player trading card poster to kick off the start of the new Green Bay Packer trading card campaign in Dunn County. Pictured are Dunn County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Adam Zukowski, 24-7 & West Wisconsin Telcom Public Relations Manager, Robin Buck, and Dunn County Sheriff Dennis Smith. —photo submitted Or feel free to stop at the Dunn County Sheriff ’s Office or 24-7 & West Wisconsin Telcom retail stores in Menomonie, Downsville or Eau Claire during normal business hours to obtain trading cards. According to Sheriff Smith, “Our goal with this initiative is to promote communications between deputies and the public. We hope those discussions will build bonds that last into the future and encourage a positive relationship with both the deputies and employees of a local business. Thanks to our friends at 24-7 & West Wisconsin Telcom for sponsoring this community relations and public outreach program with the Green Bay Packers.” Oktoberfest Oktoberfest 3rd Annual Lady Bugs raise money for local veterans PACERS IN PINK — The Glenwood City Cross Country Team showed their support of breast cancer awareness month by dressing in pink and running the eight miles from Glenwood City to Boyceville before Glenwood City’s home football game against Boyceville on Friday, October 3. —photo submitted THESE CUSTOM MADE Lady Bugs are on sale at Gordie Cronk’s shop in Downing. The proceeds go towards helping Veterans in Wisconsin. —photo by Kelsie Hoitomt counter. The bugs, which weigh a solid five pounds or more, have become very popular throughout the state. They can be seen on display at several Veteran offices, including one not too far from here. Gordie Cronk was at the Veterans’ Office in Menomonie when he first saw one of the bugs. He was told the story by Veterans’ Officer Greg Quinn so he set out to find a bunch of drinking cups and did it online at the Smith Sales Auction site. Once he had the cups, Gordie contacted the Noldens and they made the trip up here from their home in Prairie Du Sac to pick them up and drop off some bugs. The bugs have been a big hit in Gordie’s shop with a large number already purchased over the past couple of weeks. Gordie said he is always looking for cups and if anyone has some they would like to donate, he will go out and remove them himself. The cups will go to the Noldens and in turn they will create a bug, which they sell for $40. Gordie said that aside from selling them, he is also taking orders so if anyone is interested they can call his shop at 715-2654913. To date, the Noldens have donated over $60,000 to Veterans in need. They have been to at least 60 counties and their goal is to make it to all 72 in the state. Boyceville village board hears about scam attempts and break-ins BOYCEVILLE — At their regular monthly meeting Monday night the village board heard from Police Chief Dan Wellumson about a couple of scams that were attempted on village residents. Wellumson told the board that a local lady received a phone call and the caller indicated to her that it was from the IRS and that she faced arrest that day if she did not call back to make a settlement. Another person received an Internet message stating that it was from a Court and that charges had been filed against them and they needed to respond. Both were scams, Wellumson told the board. Another matter of fraud was brought to the attention of the police department as well. An employee, who had quit his job, told his former employer that he had lost his last check and the employer issued another to replace the first check. But the employee cashed both checks. The matter is now in the hands of the District Attorney, Wellumson stated. He also addressed the break-ins at local storage sheds and noted last month that a rifle had been taken. This month locks had been cut off a unit, but nothing was taken. He also reported about the vandalism had taken place at the bathroom facility at Pafko Park. In other business the board learned that they are on track with the safe route to school grant application. They also learned that the Food Harvest Ministry has outgrown the space at the Community Center and representatives of the group appeared before the board with tentative plans to purchase lots on Main Street to construct a new building. But they asked the board for the continued use of the Community Center until some decision about a new structure has been completed.
