Water to keep laterals open in
Colfax last winter cost $40,000
By LeAnn R. Ralph
COLFAX — The cost of businesses and homeowners running water in Colfax last winter
to keep the water laterals from
freezing up was almost $40,000.
The Colfax Village Board’s
audit and finance committee approved sewer and water writeoffs of $37,770 at the October 13
meeting.
Rather than thinking of it as
the village “spending” $40,000 on
water, it is more accurate to say
that the village did not collect
$40,000 from the residents and
businesses.
Most of the adjustment —
$21,337.89 for the sewer utility
and $16,064 for the water utility
— were due to running water in
the winter to help keep the laterals open, said Sheila Riemer,
deputy clerk treasurer.
Many municipalities in this
part of Wisconsin issued a “run
water” order asking residents
and businesses to keep their water running 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, with a pencil-thin
stream.
Most of the municipalities adjusted the water and sewer bills
by charging residents and businesses for the amount of water
used in the comparable quarter
from the previous winter rather
than the amount from that quarter in 2014.
Sewer and water bills for village residents and businesses
have already been adjusted to
compensate for the additional
sewer and water charges.
The winter of 2013-2014 was
the coldest winter since 19041905 with many days of “afternoon highs” that were below zero
Fahrenheit or with windchills below zero.
Rand Bates, director of public
works, reported at the October 13
meeting that were a total of 46
frozen laterals last winter.
According to the budget comparison reviewed by the audit
and finance committee, so far this
year, the water fund has spent
$31,858.40 on outside services,
and the sewer fund has spent
$37,565.86 on outside services.
Some of the money spent on
outside services was also for
thawing the laterals, Riemer
said.
Vendors for outside services for
the water fund included Tainter
Machine, A-1 Excavating, Hydro
Designs, Municipal Well & Pump,
and Commercial Testing.
Randy Valaske of Tainter Machine spent a significant amount
of time in Colfax last winter with
his portable welder, working on
thawing out frozen laterals.
Vendors for outside services
for the sewer fund included the
engineering and consulting firm
of Short Elliott Hendrickson;
LBR Electric; and R&R Waste
Systems Cleaning.
Rescue squad
The audit and finance committee also approved the Colfax
Rescue Squad budget adjustment
report.
The amounts under the “other
adjustment” column in the sevenpage report were ambulance bills
that are not collectible, either
because the person who received
services died or because the invoices have been on the books too
long.
Any services that can be
charged to Medicare or Medicaid
are not collectible after they have
been on the books for one year.
The total under the section
“the time limit has expired for filing” was $2,033.
The total under the section
“charge exceeds fee schedule
or maximum allowable” was
$64,270.
The Colfax Rescue Squad has
a fee schedule for services, but
Medicare and Medicaid will only
pay a certain amount for those
services.
Grand totals for the report
included $111,142 collected so
far this year for insurance payments and $23,252 for patient
payments.
According to the Colfax Rescue Squad’s annual report, Colfax
collected $55,693 from Medicare
in 2012 even though the rescue
squad billed out about $100,000
to Medicare.
The rescue squad’s budget for
2015 is $439,121.
Refreshment stand
During the regular Colfax Village Board meeting following
the audit and finance committee
meeting, village board members
received a report on the cost for
replacing the refreshment stand
(beer tent; beer shed; beer garden) at the Colfax Fairgrounds.

Colfax hires Menomonie city treasurer
By LeAnn R. Ralph
COLFAX — Following a second round of interviews for the
Colfax administrator-clerk-treasurer position, the Colfax Village
Board has offered the position to
Lynn Niggemann.
Niggemann, who lives on
830th Avenue, Colfax, currently
serves as the City of Menomonie
treasurer/comptroller.
Niggemann’s starting annual
salary will be $55,000, and she
will be eligible for two weeks of
vacation after 90 days on the job,
said Scott Gunnufson, village
president.
Niggemann will begin the administrator-clerk-treasurer job
on November 24 and will be eligible for merit increases after six
months and one year, he said.
Following a closed session on
October 16, the Colfax Village
Board voted unanimously to hire
Niggemann, who accepted the position.
“All seven (village board members) agreed Lynn was our best
choice. It was a unanimous decision,” Gunnufson said.
“We liked her stability,” he
said.
Niggemann has worked for the
City of Menomonie as the treasurer/comptroller for a number of
years.
The Village of Colfax’s ordi-
nance requires the administrator-clerk-treasurer to live within
15 miles of the village, and if the
current residence is more than
15 miles outside of Colfax, the
administrator-clerk-treasurer
must move to the village within
one year.
Niggemann’s current residence is well within the 15 mile
radius of the village, Gunnufson
said.
After Niggemann has started
her new position in Colfax and
has had a chance to get her feet
wet, so to speak, the Colfax Messenger will publish a feature story about her.

Dunn County to consider a balanced
budget of $74.6 million for 2015
$2.3 million increase over 2014; 1 cent increase in tax levy
By LeAnn R. Ralph
MENOMONIE — The Dunn
County Board will consider approval of a balanced budget of
$74.6 million for 2015 at the November budget meeting.
Dunn County Board members
reviewed the proposed 2015 budget at the October 15 meeting.
The proposed budget for 2015
is $2.3 million more than the
2014 budget of $72.31 million.
The increases in the budget
include:
•$99,000 more for the sheriff ’s department ($6.2 million for
2014; $6.3 million requested for
2015.
• $75,000 more for jail assessment ($85,000 for 2014; $160,000
requested for 2015)
•$176,000 more for debt service ($3.7 million for 2014; $3.88
requested for 2015)
• $518,699 more for the health
care center ($14.14 million for
2014; $14.66 million requested
for 2015)
• $970,145 more for the highway department ($11.58 million
for 2014; $12.55 million requested for 2015)
•$246,430 more for facilities
and parks ($1.8 million for 2014;
$2.1 million requested for 2015)
•$576,346 more for health
insurance ($7.7 million for 2014;
$8.2 million requested for 2015)
The proposed budget for 2015
includes a tax levy of $20.935
million.
The levy is at the statutory
limit, said Tonya Kusmirek,
Dunn County’s chief financial officer.
Because the levy is set at the
maximum allowable by the state,
debt service and library funding
will be taken outside of the levy,
she said.
State statute allows three
budget areas to be included in the
budget but not considered for the
levy limit: debt service; county
bridge aid to the towns; and library funding.
Equalized value has increased
by 2.2 percent, and the mill rate
will be going up 1 cent per $1,000
of equalized value, Kusmirek
said.
Last year, the tax levy amounted to $7.96 per $1,000 in property
value; for the 2015 budget, the
tax levy will be $7.97 per $1,000
in value, she said.
Last month, Dunn County was
looking at a $450,000 shortfall,
noted Gary Bjork, county board
supervisor from Colfax.
The budget came into balance
because the sheriff ’s department
and the highway department will
now be funding part of their budgets through each department’s
unassigned fund balance, and
the county’s health insurance
cost will increase by 5 percent instead of 6 percent, Kusmirek explained, noting that other parts
of the budget had small movements both up and down.
Kusmirek and Gene Smith,
county manager, both said that
the increase in the county’s selffunded health insurance is not
an increase to the employee, but
rather, is an increase in the cost
of the plan.
Instead of the regular county board meeting on the third
Wednesday of the month, the
Dunn County Board’s budget
meeting will be held on the second Wednesday, November 12.
Elk Mound school board expels student for
distributing prescription narcotics at school
By LeAnn R. Ralph
ELK MOUND — The Elk
Mound Board of Education has
expelled a high school student
for possessing, using and distributing prescription narcotics at
school.
The Board of Education held
an expulsion hearing on the matter October 13.
The Elk Mound school board
voted to expel the student until
he is 21, said Dr. Ron Walsh, su-
perintendent, the day after the
expulsion hearing.
The student is not allowed on
school grounds without prior permission until the age of 21, Dr.
Walsh said.
The Board of Education approved several other stipulations,
but Dr. Walsh said he was not at
liberty to discuss the stipulations
because the specifics could help
identify the student.
The expulsion hearing took
several hours, he said.
Tim Sivertson serves as president of the Elk Mound Board of
Education.
Kyle Jenson serves as vice
president.
Gary Bodenburg serves as
treasurer.
Margaret Dieter serves as
clerk.
Directors on the school board
include Loren Hanson, Mark Cedarblade, and Patrick Rhude.

COLFAX — Beginning the
week of October 27, Main Street
in Colfax will be detoured for two
weeks while Canadian National
Railroad fixes the railroad crossing.
Rand Bates, director of public
works, said the Main Street detour to get around the railroad
crossing while crews are working
on it will be the same detour that
was used for the Colfax Sesquicentennial Celebration in July.
Main Street will be detoured to
the east at Fifth Avenue to Dunn
Street and then north to Railroad
Avenue, he said.
At Railroad Avenue, vehicles
can either turn east and continue
out to county Highway M to state
Highway 40 or can turn west to
get back to Main Street.
Main Street will be blocked
off by the Outhouse Tavern, although people will still be able to
get to Third Avenue, Bates said.
Scott Gunnufson, village pres-
ident, indicated that the Main
Street detour would be in place
for two weeks, although Bates
said he was not sure that fixing
the crossing would take the entire two weeks.
Last winter’s subzero temperatures, along with quite a lot
of snow and ice, seemed to make
the railroad crossing worse than
it was, creating an even rougher
ride over the tracks.

According to the report, the
village spent $54,270.28 to replace the structure, along with
a new roof for the pavilion and a
new roof for the restrooms at the
fairgrounds.
The village received an initial insurance payment (the
first installment) on May 6 of
$21,319.48.
Colfax also will be receiving

The difference between the
cost of replacing the refreshment

Classes offered to train volunteers
to help monitor WI’s wolf population
MADISON — Wisconsin’s wolf
monitoring program relies upon
volunteers from around the state
who help track the animals each
winter, and those interested in
becoming volunteers are encouraged to sign up for one of a number of clinics offered statewide.
Winter tracking is a great way
to experience the outdoors in
winter and make a contribution
to natural resource management.
Department of Natural Resources biologists and volunteers
have partnered to provide informative classes focused on aspects
of wolf ecology, population biology
and field study techniques.
“Volunteers are the backbone
of our wolf population monitoring
program,” David MacFarland,
DNR large carnivore specialist.
“These classes provide a great
opportunity to learn more about
Wisconsin’s wildlife and becom-
ing a volunteer tracker is a direct
way to contribute to the scientific
data the DNR relies on to manage our state’s wolf population.”
The tracking-focused class will
focus on medium to large size carnivores that inhabit Wisconsin,
as well as a few other common
mammals. It will also provide
the required training and prepare participants to conduct formal track surveys as a volunteer
tracker.
The ecology-focused class will
cover the history of wolves in
Wisconsin, their biology and ecology, how DNR monitors the population, and state management
and research.
For a list of courses offered,
visit the volunteer carnivore
tracking page of the DNR website
dnr.wi.gov and select the “training courses” option on the right
side of the page.
I have written about my involvement with the Minnesota Newspaper Museum at the Minnesota State Fair. At the museum, we print a
weekly newspaper, the way it was done back in the 1930s using letterpress equipment and hot lead to form the type used in printing. It
is a method that was abandoned by newspapers in the 1960s and ’70s.
In our new quarters, in the 4-H building on the fairgrounds' north
side, we had some 17,000 visitors. This was about 10,000 less than we
had been averaging at our old building on the west side. The fair spent
$15 million to rebuild that side of the fairground calling it the West
End Market. In that rebuilding, we lost our old building that looked
like a small town weekly newspaper office.
The museum is a project of the Minnesota Newspaper Foundation.
The Board of Directors, of which I am a member, engaged a firm to do
a survey during the state fair. Questions asked of visitors included if
they like the museum, would they visit again? How do newspapers
impact your daily life and would you like to learn more about your
First Amendment rights?
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution contains
the five basic rights that we as citizens of this country enjoy. The surveyor conducted 514 surveys, some during their visit to the museum
and others done away from the museum site.
I received the report of the survey last month and was very pleased
with its results. Only one person was “not satisfied” with our exhibit.
But one thing disturbed me and that was that when asked about the
First Amendment, thirty-nine percent of the visitors were not interested in the topic and another four percent were unsure.
The entire 46-word of the First Amendment is displayed at the museum. It is written on a banner that covers the entire back wall of the
museum. It is our duty, as newspaper people to keep people informed
about their rights and protect them.
It is ghastly to me that forty-three percent of those surveyed, were
not interested in the topic of the First Amendment. No wonder that
we as citizens of this country have allowed our government to trample
our rights, and we sit by watching our government grow and gobble
up our freedom.
Here is the First Amendment. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
The first ten amendments of the Constitution are called the “Bill
of Rights.” The tenth Amendment states, “The powers not delegated
to the United States by the Constitution, not prohibited by it to the
States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
I would say, people rise up and strike down those politicians that
have burdened us with rules, regulations, high taxes and give away
programs and taken away our power to determine what is best for us.

What a beautiful week considering it was mid-October. Residents watched the red, yellow,
gold and brown leaves dance as
they were falling in the cool fall
air.
On Monday morning we had
devotions, current events and
exercise. Sue had residents hold
swirling and fluttering scarves
during the exercise segment. In
the afternoon LeAnn came in to
help residents. Everyone lined
up at the tables in the Square.
Pumpkins of all size and shape
were carefully scrutinized. When
residents picked their own perfect pumpkin the painting began.
The art work is amazing. Check
it out when you come to visit. The
pumpkins will be on display right
through Halloween. Our annual
Halloween dance on Friday, October 31 will have music by Honey
and Me and everyone is encouraged to wear a costume.
On Tuesday morning once
again we had devotions, current
events, and stretching. Tuesday
afternoon Veda, Linnea, Eileen
and Vonnie were here to help residents. The bingo and happy hour
are one of the residents most celebrated programs. Kick ball in
the evening comes in as a close
second in popularity!
On Wednesday mornings we
have a church service. This week
Pastor Walck from Colfax Lutheran Church and Delores Huber led the service. Linnea and
Veda helped where needed. Octoberfest was celebrated with a
very special meal in the square.
How unconventional to celebrate October Fest in October.
Residents and their guests were
served their choice of four beers
at authentically appointed dining tables decorated with beer
steins filled with long pretzel
sticks. The menu was brats and
beer, spaetzles and beer, sauerkraut and beer, fall harvest veg
and beer and pumpkin desert
and beer. The dining atmosphere
was enhanced by exciting piano
music provided by Mary Biesterveld. Beauty Boutique was the
afternoon event. Residents love
to have their manicures done.
Beautiful hands are happy hands
and many residents left the beauty shop with happy hands.
On Thursday morning those
happy hands played volleyball in
the Square. Those happy hands
were used in the afternoon to applaud the great one man band by
Dale Martell. He is such a treat
to the ears.
The gloomy grey sky was lugubrious Friday morning after
several beautiful sunny days.
Nevertheless inside we did have
blue skies; especially in the Rotunda where it is blue sky that
can be enjoyed 365 days a year.
The morning was also brightened
by the music that emanated from
the Square during Gospel sing
led by Julie, Glen and Delores.
Loretta led the Rosary in the resident lounge prior to Gospel Sing.
In the afternoon we had Dime
Bingo.
Last week the Norton Lutheran Ladies Aid and the North
Running Valley Ladies Aid provided the cake, ice cream and
dimes for dime Bingo. I made an
error and put the wrong Church
in the paper last week so I humbly apologize for the error. It is
so nice to have more help at the
Bingo tables. The residents love
to have these monthly birthday
parties and so does the staff!
As the weekend drew near
residents looked forward to company from family and friends like
Leona Ubbelohde who comes to
make the days more pleasant.
Residents have REX class everyday all weekend and Bounce Ball
in the evenings along with Hollywood on Saturday. Merle was at
the front desk both Saturday and
Sunday greeting visitors and always up for a chat with residents
who are out for a stroll.
It just doesn’t get any better than this here in the land of
Colfax where the men are starting to look a little woodsy as they
prepare for their hunts and the
women are known to be the best
cooks in Dunn County. I made
that part up, but it could be true!

Here come the ghosts and
goblins…Halloween is on the
way! The Wisconsin Department
of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) offers
some common sense costume tips
to help make Halloween a safe
event for little princesses, monsters, superheroes and more.
Before you design or shop for
a Halloween outfit for your child,
use these three simple rules as a
guideline for safely dressing your
child for Halloween parades and
trick-or-treating:
Step One – Prevent fires and
burns
•
Select materials with a
flame-resistant label when buying or making costumes and accessories. Although this label
does not mean these items won’t
catch fire, it does indicate that
the items will resist burning and
should extinguish quickly once
removed from the ignition source.
•Avoid costumes that are billowy and baggy to minimize the
risk of the fabric catching a flame.
Step Two – See and be seen
•Trim costumes and outerwear in reflective tape to make
the child more visible to passing
vehicles.
•Make sure that everyone in
your party has a flashlight with
fresh batteries when trick-ortreating after dusk.
•Consider buying glow sticks,
necklaces or bracelets for the
children in your group. They are
fun for kids, last hours after activation and make the child visible
to drivers and other groups sharing the sidewalk.
•Talk to children ahead of
time about staying on the sidewalk and waiting for an adult before crossing the street.
Step Three – Fit for Safety
•Adjust costumes to ensure a
good fit during the neighborhood
walk. Long skirts or capes can
catch on bushes or decorations
and are a tripping hazard. Children should wear well-fitting,
sturdy shoes.
•
Secure hats, scarves and
masks to ensure adequate visibility and ventilation.
•In case of falls, make sure
costumes do not include any
sharp or pointed objects like toy
swords, knives or pitchforks.
•
An additional safety tip
for homeowners: if you leave a
lit jack-o-lantern on the porch
while kids are trick-or-treating,
consider using battery-operated
candles or glow sticks instead of
open-flame candles to protect the
children and your property.

Protection Bureau at datcp.wisconsin.gov, call the Consumer
Information Hotline at 800-4227128 or send an e-mail to [email protected].

Colfax survives five set thriller over Elk Mound to
earn second straight conference championship
ELK MOUND — Whoever
does the scheduling for the DunnSt. Croix volleyball matches must
have had a premonition last year
when they pitted the Colfax and
Elk Mound teams against each
other in the final contest of the
conference season. When the
Vikings entered the packed Elk
Mound gym Oct. 14, both teams
were undefeated at 8-0 and both
teams had lost only one set in
conference play. The Mounders’
roster included 10 seniors while
the Vikings had five, and like
last year when Colfax defeated
Spring Valley in three sets in the
final match to win the conference
title, it again came down to the
last night. This time Colfax had
to come from behind after losing
the first two sets to the Mounders
before winning the next three to
give them their second straight
Dunn-St. Croix Conference title.
The Mounders appeared more
than ready to take that title away
as they won the battle in the first
set 25-21. The set was tied 11
times with neither team having
more than a two point advantage
until Hannah Flatness put down
a kill for the Mounders to put
her team up 17-14. But Kori Buchanan responded for the Vikings
with her own slam, Marianne
Scharlau blocked a Mounder shot
and a misplay at the net by the
Mounders knotted things at 1717. Errors by both team moved
it to 18-18 before Elk Mound
pulled ahead 21-18 in part by an
Elly Friberg slam. Buchanan responded again with her own but a
Friberg tip and a Morgan Polden
kill put the Mounders at set point
and a combined tip gave them the
winning point.
With just about every single
shot contested by both defenses,
set number two played out the
same way. After Colfax took a 4-0
lead on two Chey Olson kills and
one by Buchanan and a Mounder error, the Mounders knotted
thing up at 8-8 when Friberg
and Elizabeth Schreiber put up
a solid block on Buchanan. The
score was tied at 9-9, 10-10, 1212 and 17-17 before Olson aced a
serve for a one point lead. Polden
served up a point to knot it again
and the teams continued to trade
IT WAS A BATTLE at the net all night when Colfax and Elk Mound
faced off for the conference championship game in the Mounder’s
gym Oct. 14. Elk Mound’s Elizabeh Schreiber tried to put down a kill
between the Viking’s Kori Buchanan and Marianne Scharlau late in
the match. —photo by M. Kruger
points from the net, resulting in
tie scores of 20-20, 21-21, 22-22,
23-23 and with Serena Wieser
serving for the Mounders, Schreiber and Polden put down the
24th and 25th point for the second set win.
Things were looking pretty
good for the Mounders and pretty
dismal for the Vikings when Elk
Mound jumped out to a 7-1 lead
in the third set. Dayna Kotecki
had a service ace and a tip point
in the run before Lakken Meredith broke the string with her
own tip. But kills from Polden
and Flatness gave the Mounders
a 9-2 lead, and they maintained
a seven point lead at 10-3 and
11-4. But this was an awfully determined group of Vikings and
they were not about to go down in
three sets. Playing one point at a
time, they scored seven straight,
in part on a Meredith set behind
her back and over the net, an ace
serve by Katie Christoffel and a
Scharlau block combined with
some mis-placed Mounder shots
for an 11-11 score. Buchanan
added a kill but the Mounders responded with their own for a 1212 tie. Colfax then began to pull
away and led 22-16 on a Scharlau block, but after a Friberg kill
the Mounders were back within
three points down 23-20. A cross
court kill by Buchanan and a final slam from Olson down a wide
open middle kept the Vikings’
hopes alive for another set.
Elk Mound started to regroup
while the Vikings tried to keep
their momentum going, which led
to another back-and-forth fourth
set. Players from both teams
were flying around the court to
save every point, resulting in 11
tie scores throughout the set. At
10-10, two Mounders ended up
in the stands for consecutive digs
which led to Friberg scoring on a
kill, and with a Colfax error, they
were up by two. But a Mounder
error and an ace serve by Courtney Ottinger brought the score to
11-11. Neither team led by more
than two points in the next few
minutes but at 17-17, Buchanan
went to work. With Meredith setting her up from across the court,
Buchanan put down four kills
with Christoffel serving an ace in
between for a 22-17 lead. Slams
from Schreiber and Friberg and
a Colfax serving error closed the
gap to 22-20 but a Mounder kill
attempt went into the net, Buchanan put down a kill for a 2421 lead and Buchanan, now at
the serving line, smacked a serve
that hit the top of the net and fell
over, just out of the reach of any
Mounder to retrieve for the 25-21
win.
Although they did their best
to keep themselves in the match,
the expression “taking the wind
out of their sails” applied to the
Mounders at this point. Colfax
took a 6-1 lead in the fifth set
before Elk Mound battled back
to 7-5 but they never got closer
to a 4 point deficit the rest of the
way. Colfax freshman Makayla
Mattson came up with one of her
biggest kills of the season, deep
in the Mounders court for a 11-6
lead, Dannielle Dachel served up
a point, Buchanan and Scharlau stuffed a Mounder kill attempt and two final errors by the
Mounders allowed Colfax to finish off the match.
“I told our girls both of the
first two games were so close they
could have gone either way,” Colfax coach Pam Meredith said. “We
expected this to be a tough match
and we did not want to lose in
three sets. I told them we worked
too hard to let that happen so we
just had to work on the next set.
We changed our blocking scheme
a bit to try and stop their big hitters and that made a difference.
We were aware Elk Mound had a
lot of weapons but we had been
down before in some tournament
games and our girls knew we
were never out of it. Even in that
third set when we were behind
we kept our focus and just kept
playing hard. Every player on the
court for us stepped up and made
big plays when we needed them.
It was a great match played by
both teams and everyone gave
their best effort” she added.
Colfax boys and girls finish second in conference meet
BOYCEVILLE — Expectations were high for both the
the Colfax boys’ and girls’ cross
country teams this year as they
began the season as the reigning Dunn-St. Croix Conference
champions. With most of their
runners returning from last year,
things looked good early on for
both teams but other teams in
the conference were improving
and pushing the Vikings with
ideas of knocking them off that
pedestal. That’s exactly what
happened with Glenwood City
winning the girls’ division by 26
points over Colfax, and St. Croix
Central won the boys’ division by
just eight points over the runner
up Vikings. The race was held
in Boyceville at Tiffany Creek
Elementary School under lovely
weather conditions with sunny
skies and a 63 degree temperature October 16.
Courtney Dressel took over as
the lead runner for the girls this
year and placed third behind a
pair of Hilltopper runners in a
time of 21:02. Taylor Drinkman
won the meet in 20:53 while her
teammate Morgan Kadinger was
second in 20:58. Following Dressel for the Lady Vikes was Abbagail Schotter in seventh place at
21:15 and Dannielle Dachel, who
ran in just a couple of meets this
year due to volleyball commitments, was 10th in 21:41. Dressel
was named First Team All Conference for her effort while Schotter and Dachel were second team.
Mackenzie Jensen was 24th in
23:32 and close behind was Cienna Cooper for the final Colfax
points in 23:37. Ally Heidorn was
the sixth and final runner in at
25:09 for 34th place in a field of
49 individuals.
“We knew the girls had to run
perfect to win this race,” Colfax
coach Joe Doucette said. “We ran
a solid race but Glenwood City
was great. They were clearly the
best team today and we congratulate them.”
The boys had seven runners
finish under 20 minutes in the
race but didn’t have any in the
top seven spots for First Team AC
accolades. Four of them earned
Second Team however, including Zack Arvold in eighth place
at 18:24, Brady Simonson a spot
behind in ninth at 18:26.5, Brett
Prince in tenth, less than a second behind at 18:26.9 and Tucker
Hovde in 13th at 18:35. Hunter
Lieffort was just two places back
in 16th at 18:55, Jacob Larson
came in at 19:40 for 25th, Isaac
Lee was 28th at 19:55 and just
over the 20 minute mark was
Grady Gibson at 20:03 for 35th
place. Daniel Schneider finished
the race in 45th place at 20:23
along with Brett Johnson in 63rd
at 21:27 and Rowdy Kadinger in
64th at 21:41. Central’s Jordan
Bringgold won the race of 95 run-
ners in 16:43.
“We were ahead by a little at
the two mile mark but Central
finished better than we did,”
Doucette said. “We ran one of
our best races of the year but
it wasn’t enough to beat a good
Central team. We have nine days
to improve before sectionals. We
have a fighting chance to finish in
the top two and get back to state
but we will have to run better
then we did today,” he added.
The sectional meet will be
back in Boyceville Saturday, October 25.
Colfax won the Middle School
Girls’ race with eighth grader Erica Kallstrom placing first while
Jasmine best was third. The boy’s
team was second led by Luke
Blanchard in tenth and Sawyer
Best in 11th.

As a team, the Mounders finished with 134 digs to save points
with Kotecki, Polden, Rachel
Caron and Wieser combining for
91 of them. They served 94%,
missing just five of 98 attempts
and they scored points on 54
kills. Friberg and Schreiber had
14 kills each, Flatness added 12
and Polden six. Kotecki set her
teammates up 32 times while
Leia Kufahl came up with 13 assists.
Colfax finished with 49 kills,
22 from Buchanan and 16 by Olson. Christoffel served up four
aces on her jump serve and the
team was 92% from the line,
missing eight serves on 107 attempts. Olson and Scharlau both
had four solo blocks and with 104
team digs, Olson led the way with
29 to go with 14 from Christoffel, 13 each from Meredith and
Buchanan and 12 by Bryana Buchanan.
Colfax will take a number one
seed into the regional tournament and will host Glenwood City
Tuesday, Oct. 21. After playing in
the Mondovi tournament Oct. 18,
Elk Mound will begin regional
play as the number three seed
and will host Osseo-Fairchild,
also on Oct. 21.

Vikings shutout in final regular season loss to Bulldogs
Although Colfax and Boyceville had both clinched a playoff
berth before the Bulldogs invaded the Lee P. Bjurquist Athletic
Complex Oct. 17, there was still
plenty at stake including a higher seed and the possibility of a
home game to start the playoffs.
Not to mention these guys have
been playing against each other
since seventh grade which means
there was a lot of pride involved.
After beating Boyceville in the final game last season to get into
the playoffs, this time the Bull-
dogs used a couple of big plays
and a stifling defense that kept
the Vikings out of the end zone
for a 14-0 win. Colfax ended the
regular season at 6-2 (4-2 conference play) and is the smallest
team in Division 5, but will host
Chequamegon this Friday night
at 7:00. Boyceville plays in Division 6 and will have a home game
against Marathon, also on Friday
night.
Colfax took the opening kickoff to their own 30 and after a
first down run on third and two
JACOB KLUKAS of Colfax came up (or down in this case) with a
nine yard reception in the game against Boyceville Oct. 22 in Colfax.

by Jeremiah Wait, the offense
fizzled and they had to punt. On
Boyceville’s first play from scrimmage, Logan Mcabee-Thomas
ran for 10 yards but a fumble on
the second play was pounced on
by Jon Hayton of the Vikings.
Wait and Andrew Adix pounded
the ball on the ground for a few
yards at a time, but after getting
into the red zone, they gained
just five yards on four plays and
gave the ball to the Bulldogs on
downs at their own five yard line.
Boyceville moved the ball to
midfield but on third and four,
Ben Kragness made the stop on
the run for a one yard loss to
force another punt. Colfax moved
it from their own 16 to the Bulldogs’ 27 on runs by Wait, Jarrod
Rudi, Adix and Aliymu Davis
but Wait, who had been nursing
a high ankle sprain, reinjured
the ankle and was helped off the
field. On fourth and two the Bulldogs defense stiffened yet again
and Rudi was stuffed on a sneak
to give Boyceville the ball back.
The teams traded punts and the
half ended at 0-0.
“Boyceville was taking away
our off tackle runs which is our
bread and butter,” coach Mark
Maloney said. “We had a great
opportunity to score but couldn’t
punch it in. That gave Boyceville
some confidence and they continued to make big stops.”
With Wait on the sidelines and
a bag of ice wrapped on his foot,
the Vikings not only lost their
leading rusher but a top defensive
back. Boyceville started with the
ball to open the second half and
after two runs by Mcabee-Thom-

Hunter Anderson during the conference matchup played Oct. 17 in Colfax. Boyceville won the game 14-0.

as, quarterback Hunter Anderson took advantage of a mix up in
the secondary and found an open
Mitch Leach for a 46 yard scoring
strike. The kick was missed but
in what had become a defensive
battle Boyceville was up 6-0 with
10:38 left in the quarter.
Tucker Teige took the short
kick to the Vikings 41 but on
fourth and two from midfield,
coach Maloney took a gamble
and had Adix run to try and get
the first down. But Boyceville
smelled it out and made another
stop to get the ball back. After a
Elk Mound boys and girls fourth in conference meet
BOYCEVILLE — Sunny skies
and temperatures in the low 60s
made it a near perfect day for
running in the Dunn St. Croix
Conference meet held at Tiffany
Creek Elementary School in Boyceville Oct. 16. The Elk Mound
boys sent 17 competitors to the
varsity competition and placed
fourth of eight full teams, while
the girls, with eight runners were
also fourth in a field of seven
teams.
Senior Caleb Kruger earned
First Team All Conference by
placing sixth in the meet with a
time of 18:16 while Lucas Winter,
by finishing 12th at 18:30 was
named Second Team All Conference. There was a big gap after
Kruger and Winter however, as
Hunter Kohls was 36th in 20:04,
Nate Kruger was 38th at 20:10
and Ryan Mohr was 41st in 20:17
for the Mounder team points.
Also getting a taste of conference competition were Jared
Strand (50, 20:47),Grant Kjellberg (54, 20:53), Jake Johnson
(56, 21:17), Jonas Kohls (58,
21:26), Nate Lind (61, 21:32),
Nate Schreiber (68, 22:09), Jonah Bauer (69, 22:12), Erik
Strand (70, 22:13), Bowdrie Noller (77, 23:06), Tyler Svihovec
(80, 23:18), William Stone (88,
Jake Johnson (back) of Elk Mound, Grady Gibson and Daniel

25:18) and Matt McLaughlin (90,
25:24).There were 95 individuals
and the meet was won by Jordan
Bringgold of St. Croix Central in
16:43 as he led the Panthers to
the conference title over Colfax.
“Caleb and Lucas finished
about where we expected,” coach
Jeremiah Fredrickson said. “I
was hoping our 3-7 runners would
place a little higher though.The
team is looking forward to having a good meet at sectionals next
week and we are hoping to get a
couple of guys to state.”
Elizabeth Fasbender ran to a
First Team All Conference spot
by taking fifth in 21:08 to lead the
Mounder girls. Taylor Drinkman
of Glenwood City won the meet
in 20:53 to help the Hilltoppers
claim the team title over Colfax.
Following Fasbender was Hannah Cedarblade in 18th place at
22:59, Nevada LaPointe in 28th
at 24:35, Elayna Gutsch in 30th
in 24:44 and final team points
came from Kaitlyn Baier who
was 38th in 25:47. Also competing were Corrine Zimmer (39,
26:12), O’Ryhann Hay (40, 26:25)
and Mattea Linberg (41, 26:26).
“I thought our girls finished
well in a very balanced field this
year,” Fredrickson said. “Our
5-6-7 runners all ran a personal
best time and they are all working towards a strong showing at
sectionals.”
The course for the sectional
meet will be familiar since it is
right back in Boyceville Saturday, Oct. 25.
Mounders conclude season with loss to conference champions
If there is any bright spot to
the Elk Mound football team losing their final game of the season, it would be in the fact while
losing 51-32 to Dunn St. Croix
Conference champions St. Croix
Central, they had their highest output of the season scoring
wise, which also happened to be
the most points scored against
the Panthers this year. And in
the process, sophomore Noah
Zurbuchan,will have his named
etched on the plaque in the high
school trophy case after reaching
the 1,000 yard rushing mark, finishing with 1,051 for the season.
Although the Panthers had secured a playoff berth a few weeks
ago, you can bet ending with a
perfect record was high on their
priority list on this night. The
Mounders put a scare in them
however, as they responded three
times after the Panthers scored
to keep things interesting for the
first half. Central put the first
points up just three minutes into
the game on a Cody Gostovich two
yard run and his extra point kick,
but the Mounders came back to
knot it up with Zurbuchen hitting paydirt on a 28 yard run for
his first of three TDs of the game
and a Cole Tyman kick. Panthers
receiver Jason Matteson found
his way through the defense for
a 71 yard scoring pass from Kyle
Larson and another kick made
it 14-7 with about three minutes
left in the quarter. Zurbuchan answered with his own big play, zipping down the field for 79 yards
and the Tyman kick tied it again.
But with under a minute to go in
the quarter, Central scored on a
26 yard run by Ryan Gulich, and
a missed kick ended the stanza
with the Mounders down 20-14.
Four minutes into the second
holding call on the Bulldogs, Alexander completed a 31 yard pass
to Tyler Draeger to the Vikings
16 and Mcabee-Thomas zipped
up the middle to the one yard
line. Anderson plowed in for the
score, and on a fake extra point
kick, Anderson found another
opening in the Colfax secondary
and passed to Jacob McIntyre for
the two point conversion and a
14-0 lead at the 7:14 mark of the
quarter.
Colfax had plenty of time to
get back into the game, including
on their next drive when Davis,
now taking the bulk of the running duties, broke off a 34 yard
run, then dove for another first
down to the Bulldogs 24 yard line
on fourth down. But two incomplete passes and a five yard run
by Rudi made it fourth and five,
and this time Davis was stuffed
at the Bulldog 15, giving the ball
back to the Bulldogs. Colfax stiffened their defense with Trevor
Olson sacking Anderson for a five
yard loss on third down forcing a
punt to end the third quarter.
Colfax moved from their own
45 in part by a nine yard pass to
Jacob Klukas, a facemask penalty on the Bulldogs, a 10 yard run
by Adix and a nine yard sliding
catch by Jacob Steinke to get to
the Boyceville 16. Another short
completion to Sawyer DeMoe
moved it to the nine but on fourth
down, Rudi’s pass was picked off
in the end zone by Anderson who
elected to take it out and raced

GOOD RUNS start with good blocks. Above, Cole Tyman (#82), left and Ryan Krall (#77) opened up a
hole for Elk Mound running back Noah Zurbuchen to score his second touchdown at home October 17
against St. Croix Central. —JHolzwarth.smugmug.com
quarter, Zurbuchan plowed in
from a yard out and the Mounders had a chance to go ahead but
the kick was off target.The Panthers then put their nose to the
grindstone and in the span of
three minutes, they had a 36-20
lead on a rushing touchdown by
Gostovich, his two point run, another rushing score from 57 yards
by Chris Berg and a two point run
by Trent Smith as the half ended.
Starting the second half with
the ball, the Mounders saw their
hopes of a comeback dashed
quickly as they fumbled the ball
into the hands of a Panther play-
er who took it to the house from
30 yards out, and with a Smith
two point run, Elk Mound was
now in a big hole down 44-20.
Gostovich tacked on the Panthers
final points on a one yard run and
his own kick with 7:12 to go in
the third quarter.
Hunter Adleman added to the
Mounders’ point total when he
broke through the Panther defense for a 54 yard score early in
the fourth quarter, and with 48
seconds left in the game, freshman Chris Lee put the finishing
touches on Elk Mound’s season
with a six yard touchdown run.
After averaging 116 yards a
game against some pretty stringent defenses this year, Zurbuchan put up 196 yards on the
ground in 28 carries against the
Panthers. Adleman added 87
yards on six attempts and quarterback Shawn Flynn completed
2 of 5 passes, both to Tyman for
18 yards.
“Our boys played hard all season and never gave up in any
game,” coach Dave Lew said. “We
met some adversity this year with
key injuries but still persevered
and played hard every week.”
80 yards down the sideline before
Davis chased him down at the
Vikings’ 20. The Bulldogs could
have put the dagger in with 7:00
to go but on third down, the ball
was centered over Anderson’s
head and DeMoe chased him
down for a 28 yard loss to force
a punt. After Davis picked up a
first down on the ground, Colfax
went to the air and Boyceville
had their defensive secondary
covering the Colfax receivers
pretty tight, resulting in a few
incomplete passes and the end of
the game.
“We had a couple of breakdowns on defense and Boyceville
took advantage of it,” Maloney
said. “Otherwise our defense was
pretty solid. With Wait going out,
Davis stepped up and did a nice
job. We just didn’t make any big
plays on offense but credit Boyceville’s defense for not breaking.
We’ll work on a few things to get
ready for the playoff game on Friday,” he added.
Despite rushing for only 71
yards, Wait ended the game as
the conference’s leading rusher
with 1,123 yards with an average
of of 140 per game in just eight
games. Davis ran for 63 yards
while Adix added 49. Rudi was 6
for 24 passing for 76 yards with
DeMoe catching two for 19 yards
and Steinke snaring a pair for 17
yards. Hayton collected six tackles, Adix added four and Zach
Meyer and DeMoe were both
credited with three.

MENOMONIE — The Dunn
County Board has gone on record
as being officially opposed to the
state of Wisconsin reducing circuit court funding by $11.8 million in the 2013-2015 biennial
budget.
The Dunn County Board approved a resolution stating the
opposition of county board supervisors at the October 15 meeting.
This will be taking state
money from the county’s circuit
court system, and the county
will have to replace that money
either through budget cuts or an
increased tax levy, said David
Bartlett, county board supervisor
from Boyceville and chair of the
judiciary and law committee.
The state requires that counties provide a guardian ad litem
for those who cannot make their
own decisions and interpreters
for defendants who do not speak
English, but now the state wants
to remove state funding for those
services, said Bob Walter, county
board supervisor from Menomonie.
Walter is an attorney.
Kitz Cleary, county board supervisor from Colfax, wondered
how much of the $11.8 million
would come from Dunn County.
In 2001, the state decided that
counties would be required to pay
47 percent of the funding for the
circuit court system. In 2012, the
state Legislature increased that
share to 55.9 percent of the funding to be provided by the counties, said Judge Rod Smeltzer.
Over the years, “the state has
eroded funding (for the courts)
and has set the counties back,”
Judge Smeltzer said.
The state Legislature’s cuts to
the circuit court system will affect more than each individual
county. On an administrative
level state-wide, the cuts will affect legal education for judges, he
said.
“This is the biggest cut the
state has ever asked for from the
courts. This is a serious matter,”
Judge Smeltzer said.
Todd Welch, county board supervisor from Menomonie, said
state government already spends
too much money and that he
wanted to research the issue of
court funding before voting on
the resolution.
Welch also suggested that
someone knowledgeable about
the proposed cuts speak to the
county board at the November
meeting.
Welch made a motion that the
resolution opposing the state’s
reduction in circuit court funding
be postponed until the November
meeting.
Steve Rasmussen, county
board supervisor from Boyceville
and chair of the Dunn County
Board, asked for a second for
Welch’s motion.
After the third inquiry as to
whether there was a second to
the motion, Rasmussen declared
that the motion had died from the
lack of a second.
The Dunn County Board approved the motion stating opposition to the state’s proposed decrease in circuit court funding on
a vote of 28 to 1.
Welch voted against the motion.
DUNN & ST. CROIX COUNTIES – Local clerks are advising
voters that they do not need to
show a photo ID to vote at the November 4, 2014 Election. On October 9, 2014, the U.S. Supreme
Court overturned an earlier 7th
Circuit Court of Appeals decision
which had reinstated the photo
ID law. The law had been enjoined by the courts since March,
2012.
According to the Wisconsin Government Accountability
Board, the Supreme Court’s order is not the final word on the legality of Wisconsin’s voter photo
ID law, but it does set the rules
for the General Election. The
Supreme Court halted enforcement of the law for the time being to avoid voter confusion and
because some voters had already
been mailed absentee ballots
without instructions on how to
comply with the voter photo ID
law. The Supreme Court may decide to hear the case on its merits sometime after the November
election.
Even though voters will not
have to show an ID to receive a
ballot at this election, voters who
are registering between now and
Election Day should be aware
that they may use their driver
license or state ID card to establish their residence if it contains
a current address.
“You may use a valid driver
license or state ID card for proof
of residence when you register
to vote, either before or on Election Day” said Kevin Kennedy,
Wisconsin’s chief elections officer.
“But you are not required to show
a photo ID to get your ballot.”
All voters must show proof of
residence to register to vote, and
a driver license or state ID card
with a current address are just
two of many documents can use
to prove they are residents. A full
list is available here: http://gab.
wi.gov/publications/voter-guides/
proof-of-residence.
Also, voters who have a Wis-
consin driver license or state ID
card are required to provide the
card number on the voter registration form. Voters who do not
have a driver license or state ID
card can use the last four digits
of their Social Security number
instead.
Absentee Voting
Local clerk are advising absentee voters who may have received
a letter in recent weeks telling
them to provide a photocopy of
their ID card that they may disregard the letter. Some voters
who requested or received absentee ballots before the 7th Circuit
Court of Appeals decision on September 12 would have needed to
provide a copy of their ID, but the
Supreme Court’s order on October 9 made that unnecessary.
Be Prepared
Because the Supreme Court
may someday reinstate voter
photo ID in Wisconsin, the G.A.B.
is advising anyone who does not
have a state ID card to take advantage of the opportunity to get
one for free. The Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles has a process to allow people to obtain a
free State ID card for voting purposes, even if the person does not
have a birth certificate.
Kennedy said that process can
take time, especially for people
born outside of Wisconsin, so it
makes sense to get started early.
More information is available
at the Wisconsin DMV website:
http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/
drivers/drivers/apply/petitionprocess.htm. If the voter photo
ID law is not reinstated, voters
can still use the state ID card for
proof of residence when registering, he said.
For specific questions about
voting, please contact your local
clerk. Voters are also encouraged
to visit the Wisconsin Government Accountability’s voter services website, www.myvote.wisconsin.gov, for information about
voting.
No voter photo ID required

Unmet demand for afterschool programs in the state is high
afterschool programs to as many
children and families as resources will allow,” said Afterschool
Alliance Executive Director Jodi
Grant. “But Wisconsin has a lot
of work ahead if it’s to keep up
with other states, and even more
if it is to provide all children with
the afterschool opportunities
they need. Most parents in the
state who want their child in a
program can’t find one, and that
needs to change. Every child who
is unsupervised after school is a
child potentially at risk. Quality afterschool programs keep
kids safe, inspire them to learn,
and help working families. Every
Wisconsin family that needs an
afterschool program should have
access to one.”
“The unfortunate reality is
that, given current available resources, afterschool programs in
Wisconsin can only serve a fraction of the children and families
who need them,” said Randy
Neve, Network Lead of the Wisconsin Afterschool Network. “We
need to work on this, and that will
require committing the resources
necessary to grow afterschool
programs and create the opportunities our children urgently need.
We must make it a priority to
turn these results around.”
To determine the state rankings, a composite score was calculated for all 50 states, plus the
District of Columbia, and indexed
against the national average.
Obituaries
available, as would the parents
of 57 percent of Latino children.
The same is true of 35 percent of
white children.
Despite increased participation in afterschool, the number
of children unsupervised in the
hours after school remains high.
Across the nation, more than
800,000 elementary students,
and 2.2 million middle school
students spend time alone and
unsupervised during the after
school hours. In all, 11.3 million
children — one in five — are unsupervised in the afternoons.
Parental satisfaction with afterschool remains high. Nine in
ten parents (89 percent) say they
are satisfied with their child’s afterschool program.
Support for public funding of
afterschool programs remains
strong. More than four in five
parents (84 percent) report that
they favor public funding for afterschool opportunities in communities that have few opportunities for children and youth.
Support is bipartisan, as well,
with 91 percent of parents who
identify as Democrats, 86 percent
Independents and 80 percent
of Republicans favoring public
funding for programs. Parents
across all geographic regions
support public funding for afterschool programs.
The national and Wisconsin
America After 3PM reports, and
accompanying data, are available
at www.afterschoolalliance.org.
A snapshot of national participation and demand for summer
learning programs is also available online.
On October 23, more than 1
million people in communities
across the nation and at U.S.
military installations worldwide
will join the only national rally
for afterschool programs. Sponsored by the Afterschool Alliance
and now in its 15th year, Lights
On Afterschool brings communities together for science fairs, fun
runs, community service events,
music and dance performances,
open houses and other events
at schools, community centers,
malls, parks and recreation centers, science museums, state capitols, and other settings. Find a
local Lights On Afterschool event
at www.afterschoolalliance.org/
LOA.cfm.
Findings from America After
3PM are based on in-depth interviews with 13,709 U.S. households with children, completed
by way of an online survey using a blend of national consumer
panels. Shugoll Research collected and analyzed the data for
America After 3PM. The goal
of at least 200 completed interviews was reached in every state
and the District of Columbia. In
states where this goal could not
be reached using online panels,
random-digit dialing was used
to complete supplementary telephone interviews. In order to participate, respondents had to live
in the United States and be the
guardians of a school-age child
living in their household. All interviews were completed between
February 28 and April 17, 2014.
America After 3PM is funded
by the Charles Stewart Mott
Foundation, the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation, The Wallace Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the Noyce Foundation, with additional support
from the Heinz Endowments,
The Robert Bowne Foundation
and the Samueli Foundation.

LEONARD J. TAPE
Leonard J. Tape, age 77, of
Rice Lake, WI died Wednesday,
October 15, 2014 at his home. He
was born May 17, 1937 to Harold
& Hilda (Williams) Tape at Boyceville, WI. He was raised and attended school at Colfax & graduated from Colfax High School in
1955. In 1957 he was married
to Joy Moe. Leonard drove truck
over the road for most all of his life
& received many safety awards
over the years. He loved fishing &
taking fishing trips up to Canada.
He also loved hunting & looked
forward to frying fish every year
over Labor Day for their annual
Each state’s overall score is based
on afterschool program participation, afterschool programs reaching children in need, and parents’
satisfaction with key features of
their child’s afterschool program.
In important respects, Wisconsin results mirror the national
survey findings, which include:
Participation in afterschool
programs is up nationally, with
18 percent of the nation’s schoolchildren in programs (10.2 million children), up from 15 percent
in 2009 (8.4 million children) and
11 percent in 2004 (6.5 million
children).
At the same time, unmet demand has increased. The parents of nearly 20 million children
(19.4 million) say they would enroll their child in an afterschool
program if a program were available to them. That means that
the existing supply of afterschool
programs is meeting barely onethird of demand.
Demand is greatest among
African American, Hispanic and
low-income families. Both participation in afterschool and unmet
demand for afterschool are much
higher among children from lowincome households than higherincome households, and higher
among African American and
Hispanic children than white
children. The parents of 60 percent of the nation’s African American children would enroll their
child in a program if one were
family reunion.
Leonard was preceded in
death by his parents & son: Randy Tape. He is survived by his

WASHINGTON, DC — Wisconsin has made little progress
on afterschool participation since
2009, according to a new household survey commissioned by the
Afterschool Alliance. The 2014
edition of America After 3PM
found that demand for afterschool programs still far exceeds
supply; the number of children
in Wisconsin who would be enrolled in an afterschool program
if one were available surpasses
the number of children enrolled
in afterschool programs in the
state. The household survey also
found that the vast majority of
parents of children in afterschool
programs in Wisconsin report
significant benefits from their
children’s participation.
The America After 3PM survey included 30,000 American
households and 256 in-depth interviews in Wisconsin. It found
that 13 percent of Wisconsin students, 121,469 children in all, are
enrolled in afterschool programs,
up from 11 percent in 2009, when
the survey was last conducted.
But 205,209 Wisconsin students
are still without adult supervision in the afternoons. The
parents of 265,984 Wisconsin
children not already in an afterschool program say they would
enroll their child if a program
were available.

advocates in the state are working tirelessly to provide quality

noon,” she said.
The meals are packaged at
Shepherd of the Hill Lutheran
Church in Elk Mound on Thursday evenings.
“Shepherd of the Hill also
houses our local food pantry, and
the location is very ideal,” Strom
said.
Even though this is the first
year for volunteers to package
the food themselves, it is actually
the second year for the Mounder
Meals program.
“The first year, we partnered
with Stepping Stones (in Menomonie). They provided the meals,
and we were more of a delivery
service. We learned from them on
how the bags should be packed.
The goal was always for us to do
this on our own this year,” Strom
said.
Lisa Hinnenkamp, a teacher
at Mound View Elementary, had
wanted to do a weekend food program for years, she noted.
“Shepherd of the Hill had extra money in (the church’s ) Good
Samaritan fund to help get this
started. Stepping Stones got us
started and gave us time to get
some extra funding to get our
program going. Also, Sue Suechting through Shepherd of the Hill
played a big role in setting things
up and keeping us all organized,”
Strom said.
The Mounder Meals program
is “a gift for the students every
Friday. I am so glad that our community is stepping up to help provide for them and their families
as unfortunately, there are a lot
of gaps in assisting some of these
families to have enough food,”
she said.
If you would like to donate to
the Mounder Meals Challenge,
checks can be made payable to
Shepherd of Hill. In the memo
line write “Mounder Meals Match
Challenge.”
Send your check to Shepherd
of the Hill; 207 University Street;
Elk Mound WI 54739.
Gov. Walker appoints Andrea Nodolf
as Dunn County District Attorney
MADISON – On October 17
Governor Scott Walker appointed
Andrea Nodolf as Dunn County
District Attorney, replacing outgoing District Attorney James
Peterson, who was recently elected Circuit Court Judge.
“Andrea Nodolf is a proven
District Attorney with a strong
track record,” said Governor
Walker. “Her experience, knowledge, and demonstrated skill as a
prosecutor make her highly qualified for this role.”
Nodolf currently serves as
Rusk County District Attorney,
and she has been a prosecutor
in Rusk County for nearly four
years. During her tenure as District Attorney, she ably handled a
wide range of matters, including
high-profile prosecutions of serious crimes such as sexual abuse
and arson. She also has extensive
experience in municipal law and
employment law, having spent
nearly five years in private practice representing school districts
and other public entities in both
state and federal court. As District Attorney, Nodolf has developed a strong local reputation
for her professionalism and her
effectiveness as a prosecutor, and
those who work closely with her
praise her abilities.
Rusk County Circuit Court
Judge Steven Anderson said of
Nodolf that she is “very capable”
and a “strong advocate for both
public safety and for crime victims.” She has performed to a
very high level as the top prosecutor in Rusk County, he said,
and “she will do a fine job as District Attorney for Dunn County.”
The Sheriff of Rusk County,
David Kaminski, also speaks well
of Nodolf, praising “her work,
dedication and professionalism
as Rusk County District Attorney.” He adds that she “worked
very hard in her prosecution of
the cases that were presented to
her office and in making those
who broke the law accountable
for their actions. District Attorney Nodolf is very respected
in her position and she will be
missed. The citizens of Dunn
County will be getting a quality
District Attorney and I wish her
the best in her new position.”
Attorney Rich Summerfield
of Kostner & Summerfield, S.C.,
who serves Rusk County as Corporation Counsel and works with
Nodolf in that capacity, also recommended her. “She has done a
tremendous job up here,” he says.
“Rusk County will miss her very
much.” Before becoming District
Attorney, Nodolf had practiced
law with Kostner & Summerfield
as an associate.
Nodolf earned a juris doctor
degree from the William Mitchell
College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a bachelor of arts degree from Luther College in Iowa.
She looks forward to moving to
Dunn County with her husband
and two children.

The world is
getting older
A new report by Global AgeWatch, which focuses on the wellbeing of older people around the
world, ranks Norway and Sweden as the best places to live out
your old age; the United States
came in at eighth place, just after
Iceland. Not surprisingly Afghanistan is the last place on Earth
that the elderly would want to
call home.
The research showed that
“economic growth alone will not
improve older people’s wellbeing
and specific policies need to be
put in place to address the implications of ageing.”
The Association of Mature
American Citizens noted that the
U.S. population is growing older
at a fast pace and that America’s elderly are, perhaps, more
engaged in the political process
than anywhere else in the world.
Thus, they are in a better position
to influence policies that impact
the lifestyles of senior citizens.

Schimel and Democratic candidate Susan Happ will face off in a
debate broadcast live 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24 on Wisconsin Public
Television (WPT).
The Wisconsin 2014 Attorney General Debate, produced
in partnership with Wisconsin
Public Radio and The Milwaukee
Journal Sentinel, airs live 7 p.m.
Friday, Oct. 24 on WPT, online at
wpt.org and on Wisconsin Public Radio’s (WPR) Ideas Network
and News and Classical Network.
enue may have noticed the Dunn
County Sheriff Department’s
speed sign that measures the
speed of vehicles.
The sign was put up to track
the speed of drivers in that area
of town where the speed limit is
25 miles per hour.
Farther east on Railroad Avenue, the speed limit is 35 miles
per hour, but vehicles still tend to
drive at 35 mph even after they
have entered the 25 mph zone.
The concern is that children
who live and play on Pine Street
and Balsam Street could end up
out on Railroad Avenue.
The Colfax Village Board discussed putting up “children at
play” signs along the side streets
in that area.
Dunn County’s speed sign does
encourage drivers to slow down
because it makes them more
aware of the speed at which they
are driving, noted Police Chief
Anderson.
But the Dunn County speed
sign will only be there temporarily, he said.
Beverly Schauer, village trustee, suggested taking the “children
at play” sign from Dunn Street
and moving it to one of the side
streets along Railroad Avenue.
The Colfax Village Board approved moving the Dunn Street
“children at play” sign and also
directed Bates to order additional
signs if more were needed.
Other business
In other business, the Colfax
Village Board:
• Approved a bartender operator’s license for Shannon Steinke.
•
Approved a request for
“street use” from Michael and
Jennifer Laska, 215 River Street,
for October 25 from 5 p.m. to 10
p.m. for a neighborhood Halloween party for children ages four to
11, plus adults.
• Approved allowing the Colfax Municipal Building Restoration Group to proceed with refinishing the floor in the Colfax
Municipal Building auditorium.
CMBRG also plans to consult
with someone about a solution for
water problems in the basement
of the building.
•Approved a contract with
the Dunn County treasurer’s office for Dunn County to collect
the first installment of real estate
and property taxes for the Village
of Colfax at a rate of $2.25 per tax
bill.
•
Approved an application
from Jeffrey Young, N8040 970th
Street, Colfax, to bow hunt within the village limits. A new state
law went into effect in December
of 2013 that prohibits municipalities from banning hunting
with a bow and arrow or a crossbow within the community. Municipalities cannot limit hunting
within the municipality’s limits
as long as the person who wants
to hunt has received permission
to hunt from the landowner, Gunnufson said. Municipalities can,
however, prohibit bow hunting
in municipal parks or any other
land owned by the municipality,
he noted.
• Approved hiring Tim Swenson as the 30-hour per week EMT
to replace Adam Glass, who has
resigned.
•Accepted bids for updates
to the Colfax Police Department
in the amount of $1,100 from
LBR Electric (Chris Fogarty);
$1,742 for patching the drywall
and painting from Richard Jenson; and $3,514 from Menomonie
Flooring Centre. Police Chief
Anderson said he had hoped the
electrical could be done in the
next couple of weeks, and then
the painting and the floors can be
completed after that.
•Approved a budget adjustment to move $9,000 from the village hall improvement account to
the police department improvement account. The police department has $2,000 in this year’s
budget for improvements. All
together, after the budget adjustment, the police department will
have $11,000 available for improvements. The bids approved
by the village board amounted
to $6,356. Police Chief Anderson
said desks and furniture for the
police department would most
likely cost between $1,500 and
$2,000. Several village board
members mentioned that it has
been many years since the police
department had been painted or
had new flooring installed.
“directional planning” to define
and plan for key issues identified
by county board members, standing committees and departments.
Dolores (Dolly) Catlin, a fellow with the International City/
County Management Association
(ICMA) spoke to the Dunn County Board about the directional
planning process at the October
15 meeting.
Catlin, who will be working in
Dunn County for one year, said
she has already met with some of
the county board’s standing committees.
Dunn County has nine standing committees, 22 departments,
and 29 county board members.
Identifying key issues will focus on several questions, including “where are you now?,” “who
do you want to be?,” and “how
are you going to get there?” Catlin said, noting that the plan will
cover the next three to five years.
The overall theme for directional planning in Dunn County
will be “Dream Big,” which will
focus on “thinking out of the box”
and “looking at the long view,”
she said.
Achieving a big impact does
not mean that projects must cost
a lot of money, Catlin said.
Low budget items can have a
big impact; the projects do not
have to be high budget, she said.
Developing an action plan will
involve sorting out issues, determining how to achieve the projects identified, what approach
will involve listing the issues,
outlining the planning process,
setting priorities, determining
how to execute the plan and identifying shared participation, she
said.
Catlin plans to meet with the
standing committees during the
rest of October, will meet with
the county board in November
or December, will bring a draft
of the plan to the county board in
January or February, will review
the plan with the committees and
the county board in March and
April and will have the plan finished by May.
The overall focus of the directional planning process will be,
“What will be the future of Dunn
County?” Catlin said.
Zoning maps
In other business, the Dunn
County Board approved amended
zoning maps for the new comprehensive zoning code adopted in
October of 2013 for the 16 zoned
townships in Dunn County.
The Dunn County Board approved the revised zoning code on
October 16, 2013, and the adoption of the revised code provided
that the previous zoning code
adopted in 1993 and all of the
subsequent amendments would
remain in effect for one year in
any township that had adopted
the 1993 zoning ordinance.
Out of the 22 townships in
Dunn County, 17 had adopted
the 1993 zoning ordinance and
amendments.
zoning as of October 16.
The 16 townships that remain
in county zoning are the Towns of
Colfax, Dunn, Grant, Hay River,
Lucas, Menomonie, Otter Creek,
Peru, Red Cedar, Sheridan, Sherman, Stanton, Tainter, Tiffany,
Weston and Wilson.
Over the past year, the townships’ plan commissions and
town boards have worked with
Bob Colson, Dunn County planner and zoning administrator, on
revising the zoning maps and approving the revised zoning maps.
Most of the 16 townships are
zoned primarily for General Agriculture.
The Town of Grant is primarily zoned Intensive Agriculture.
Much of the Towns of Lucas
and Wilson are zoned Primary
Agriculture, with Wilson having
more Primary Ag than Lucas.
The Dunn County Planning,
Resources and Development
Committee held a public hearing
on the revised township zoning
maps on October 7 and subsequently approved recommending
that the Dunn County Board
adopt the revised zoning maps.
The PRD committee is now
working on text amendments to
the zoning code revolving around
housing density and will soon be
working on shoreland zoning and
subdivision control ordinances,
said Bob Walter, county board
supervisor and chair of the PRD
committee.

COLFAX — The Village of
Colfax may soon have more handicapped parking spaces along
Main Street.
The Colfax Village Board discussed adding more handicapped
spaces at the October 13 meeting.
The issue, however, is not so
much that the village would be
providing more parking space for
people with handicapped stickers
or license plates, but rather, that
the handicapped parking spaces
would limit regular parking.
The problem, said Scott Gunnufson, village president, is that
at the intersections of River
Street and Main Street and Railroad Avenue and Main Street —
with cars parked almost to the
intersection — it is almost impossible for drivers on Railroad
and River to see traffic coming on
Main Street.
The village could eliminate
parking all together in those
spaces on Main Street, but completely eliminating the parking
spaces would not be desirable either, he said.
Instead of removing the parking spaces, the village could turn
those spaces next to the intersections into handicapped parking,
Gunnufson said.
Village
Trustee
Annie
Schieber, who also is the owner of
A Little Slice of Italy, said turning a regular parking space into
a handicapped space next to her
business was not going to help.
The problem is that people
park next to a pole where there
should not be any parking at all,
she said.
Schieber and Colfax Police
Chief Bill Anderson both suggested putting a “no parking” sign on
the pole by A Little Slice of Italy.
If the parking spaces by the
intersections are handicapped
parking, fewer cars will be parked
right up to the intersection, Gunnufson said.
If the visibility for drivers pulling out on Main Street is still a
concern, the parking spaces by
the intersections can be eliminated all together, he said.
The Colfax Village Board approved a motion directing Rand
Bates, director of public works, to
research the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s requirements for handicapped parking
and for “no parking” areas.
Schieber abstained from voting on the motion since the “no
parking” spot would be next to
her business.
Village Trustee Susan Olson
also abstained from voting on the
motion.
Olson said she frequently uses
handicapped parking spaces and
that she did not want to vote on
a motion that would benefit her
directly in being able to more easily find a parking spot.

October 13 village board meeting, drivers along Railroad Av-
