Glenwood City Common Council discusses
several items, needs with eye on the budget
GLENWOOD CITY — Several
items were discussed by the
Glenwood City common council
at its regular monthly meeting
Monday night, November 10.
Although it acted on just a few
of those items, many of the
discussions seemed to circle back
to the city’s finances and budget.
The council has been grappling
with what to do with its aging
loader the past few months repair it or replace it.
That subject was once again
broached at Monday’s meeting.
Public Works Director Doug
Doornink told the board during
his report that the city’s current
loader was in need of some
immediate repairs.
“We do need tires desperately
on the loader,” Doornink informed
the council. “And the cutting edges
on the bucket need to be replaced.”
Doornink said that the loaders
front two tires are bald making
it extremely difficult to make it
up any of the hills within the city
limits. He was also afraid that
without front tire replacements
that the loader would be unable to
hold the weight of the snow blower
attachment.
“I know I didn’t budget for
these things and that is my fault,”
continued Doornink. “But we need
to do something. One tire is going
flat every day.”
Doornink told council members
that the two rear tires should
make it through until next year
but that both front tires should
be replaced.
When asked about tire costs,
Doornink said that the cheapest
tires would be $2,000 for a set of
two all the way up to $3,000 to
$4,000 a piece for good snow tires.
He also added that new cutting
edges would run around $1,500.
“I am not opposed to getting a
different loader,” said Mayor John
Larson. “But I think we need to
review the payment plan when
we get together Thursday night
(November 13) for our budget
hearing to make sure there will
be monies available next year
and the years after, that we are
going to be obligated to make
payments.”
“This is not directly related
to the loader but we have the
Safe-Route-to-School grant to we
also need to look at and how we
are going to fund that,” Larson
continued.
“The preliminary work we did
on the budget, I think was a good
first step. But frankly I don’t think
that budget is sustainable. It gets
us through another year,” added
Mayor Larson.
“There are some holes in that as
far as long-term viability,” added
Larson.
“Do we project through five
years on the budget?” asked
councilperson Ken Peterson.
“We never have,” answered
Larson. “It’s a good idea.”
“Is it something you don’t like
to do?” inquired Peterson.
“I would like to do that,” Larson
replied. “I would like to see us
have a five-year replacement plan
on equipment so that we are not
here again, not that accidents
can’t happen. Not to pick on Doug
but tires should not be an all-of-asudden deal.”
“And what are our other
equipment needs? What are we
going to need in the next five years
before we get the loader paid for,”
Larson continued. “We have to
look at the longer term. It does
not make any sense at all to stick
$15,000 in to this loader if we are
going to get rid of it right away.”
“On the other hand it may
make sense to stick $15,000 in
to it if we can keep it for another
five years.”
“What do you guys think?”
Larson queried the board.
“Well, Doug needs tires,” said
councilperson Terry Klinger. “If he

POLICE CHIEF IS RETIRING
Boyceville village board approves wage
schedule, puts off land appraisal for fire hall
BOYCEVILLE — The village
board approved a new wage
schedule for village employees
du ri ng it s r e g ular meetin g
Monday evening, November 10th.
They also discussed village-owned
land that is being considered for
the site of a new fire station. And,
they were informed that the police
chief is retiring.
The Boyceville Community Fire
District is in the planning stages
of building a new fire station and
they have identified two parcels in
the village for that purpose. One of
the sites is village-owned land just
south of the BP convenience store
along State Highway 79.
Village Board member Bud
Gilbertson reported to the board
that it would cost $900 to have
the six-acre site appraised. During
the discussion board members also
talked about the other site, which
is privately owned, and Gilbertson
asked if “we should wait with
the appraisal until the other site
is explored.” Village President
Gib Krueger moved to table the
issue until the December meeting
saying, “Another month wait is not
going to hurt.”
The board also approved the
intent to retire statement from
Police Chief Dan Wellumson.
Krueger stated that he was
reluctantly moving to accept the
retirement letter. Board members
Jo Palmer questioned, “What
happens if we do not approve his
request?” To which Wellumson
stated, “I will retire anyway.”
Krueger noted that Wellumson’s
last day on the job would be
November 27th. Krueger also
asked for a special meeting of
the board on Thursday evening
to discuss a replacement for
Wellumson. The meeting will be
a closed session of the board.
The board also approved a new
wage schedule for the coming year,
which increases wages about fiftycents per hour. The board also
approved the hiring of Heidi Upton
as a Public Works employee. She
will fill the spot vacated by the
retirement of Doug Hellendrung.
Ohly Expansion
The board discussed the request
from Ohly Americas for a study to
allow the firm to increase its input
into the village’s wastewater
treatment facility. Board member
Herb Dow indicated that the Ohly
“wants to increase production
next year.” The engineering firm
of Sambatek will do the study yet
EAU CLAIRE — A multiplevehicle crash late Monday
afternoon, November 10 injured
two people.
According to a Wisconsin State
Patrol news release, several
vehicles were involved in a crash
around 5:41 p.m. Monday in the
westbound lanes of Interstate
94 near mile marker 65 on the
Chippewa River Bridge.
The crash occurred when a
semi driver failed to slow down
for a vehicle in the right-hand lane
said the report.
The semi struck the rear of the
vehicle which then created a chainreaction of multiple collisions.
A total of nine vehicles were
involved resulting in a complete
closure of the westbound lanes.
Two drivers suffered non-life
threatening injuries. One of the
injured was transported to Sacred
Heart Hospital in Eau Claire.
With the assistance of the
Eau Claire County Sheriff ’s
Department and City of Eau Claire
Police Department a re-route of
the westbound interstate traffic
was established. The interstate
was opened to normal traffic flow
at 7:48 p.m.
The crash remains under
investigation by the Wisconsin
State Patrol.
Multiple-vehicle crash on
I-94 injures two people

this year, and Ohly will pay for the
$33,000 cost.
In other action the board heard
from Police Chief Wellumson,
that the department handled 70
incidents in October including 20
traffic-related items. He also told
the board that he had a visitor
at his office recently and was
informed by the former manager of
the Eagles Nest that the business
is closed down. Wellumson was
asked about the bow permits to
allow hunters with bow and arrow
to hunt within the village. He
estimated that there were 12 to
15 permits so far this year.
The board heard a request
from Dan Brandenburg about
the upcoming Spirit of Christmas
event set for December 13. He
said he was representing the CAC
group, who are asking for the
board approval of two new items
for the celebration. One was a
bonfire near Main Street and the
other was a vintage snowmobile,
one-eighth mile radar run, drag
race. The members of the board all
agreed with the new items.
And finally the board approved
a two-year contract with the
Dunn County Humane Society for
animal shelter service. The cost to
the village will be $1.52 for each
person in the village for the 2015
year and for the 2016 year the
price will go to $1.63.

Four generations of farming in the Olson family
By Kelsie Hoitomt
CONNORSVILLE — This
week’s “Farm Feature” highlights
the fourth generation dairy farm
that is now owned by Steve and
Angie Olson.
After taking over the dairy
farm in 2008 from his parents,
Pork and Carol, Steve and his wife
Angie decided to name their place
Maple Hills Dairy.
Prior to the change in ownership,
Steve was in a partnership with
his parents for 13 years.
The dairy farm began years ago
with Steve’s great-grandparents,
Karl and Clara. From there, it was
Clyde and Muriel and then Pork
and Carol.
In 1998, Steve and Angie moved
into their home, which is just up
the road from the original farm at
Pork and Carol’s on the outskirts
of Connorsville.
In 2008, he and Angie came to
the conclusion that dairy farming
had to be easier than it was so they
made contact with a company that
aids in the installation of milking
parlors.
Once the parlor was in, they
expanded their herd and now they
have around 70 cows and 70 young
stock including those on their
own property that are milked,
the calves across the road at Pork
and Carol’s and the dry cows at
another location near by.
The farm consists of four
locations, which covers roughly
496 acres. They recently purchased
a property that has two sheds, a
Farm Feature- The Olsons’ are pictured at their home outside of
Connorsville on their Maple Hills Dairy Farm. Pictured are Steve and
Angie and their children Nick and Megan. — photo by Kelsie Hoitomt
house and crop land.
They are using the sheds for
additional storage and the house
is where their hired hand lives.
According to Steve, they crop
mostly alfalfa and corn with
typically 130 acres of corn, 130 of
alfalfa, 50 of oats and around 50
for soy beans.
The majority of their crops are
kept in house and put into a TMR
mixer, which is in turn fed back to
their own livestock.

has got to run it for another few
months or few years, we have to
do something because we can not
have bald tires where you can’t
go up and down the hill. And you
can’t be airing up a tire everyday
either.”
“We can discuss this Thursday
night but if the numbers don’t
work out right for the loader we at
least need to let Doug know so he
can do the alternative or at least
get some tires right now,” added
Klinger.
“I know that we (Glenwood
City) can only afford what we
can afford and I have blown my
maintenance budget every year,”
said Doornink. “I already have
my own whole $5,000 on repair
and maintenance by January 1st
without any unknowns.”
Doornink has received bids
from Nortrax of Eau Claire, which
he again distributed to the council,
that showed government lease
options on a pair of 2015 models.
A John Deere Model 524K would
run the city $1,937 per month on
a five-year municipal lease with
a $1 buyout; a seven-year lease
would run $1,430 per month. A
five-year government operating
lease would be $674.93 per month
with a residual amount of $89,700.
The City could purchase the 524K
outright for about $108,000 after
a $21,000 trade-in credit for the
old loader.
The same options are available
for the 2015 John Deere Model
544K at $2,310 per month and a $1
buy out on a five-year municipal
lease; $1,705 for seven years;
and $772.60 per month for the
five-year government lease with
a residual of $109,100. The City’s
purchase price after trade-in
would be $129,000.
Following more discussion,
the council decided that it would
review the bids and add it to the
budget hearing agenda.
Operator Licenses
Normally a cut-and-dried item
at council meetings, approval of
requested liquor operator licenses
had an unusual and unprecedented
twist at this month’s meeting.
Six people had submitted
applications to the council for
one-year operator licenses.
Although all apparently passed
their background checks, city
clerk-treasurer Shari Rosenow
had concerns about one of the
applicants.
“I did include something in

Rosenow told the council.
“One of the applicants owes the
city a fairly large sum of money,”
added Rosenow. “One has never
been denied, to my knowledge for
that, but I wanted you to be aware
of that so you can decide what you
want to do.”
Rosenow told the council that
the person in question owed
$1,070.35 from past due utilities
and snow shoveling and lawn
mowing fees.
Rosenow did say that those fees
do go on the individual property
tax roll which the city would
collect if the taxes are paid; if not
the city can not collect because the
county will not pay out on special
assessments.
Councilperson Crystal Booth
made a motion to approve all six
operator licenses as listed with
Klinger adding a second.
“I don’t know who it is but
maybe they need a job so they can
pay us,” said Klinger.
To which Booth added, “You
can’t make money if your denied
a job.”
After several minutes of
discussion the council voted 4-2,
with Booth and Klinger in favor,
to deny the motion.
Ken Peterson then introduced
another motion to approve all
licenses but the one in question.
Steve Lee gave a second.
Booth asked if they were
allowed to know who the person
was because it would be a matter
of public record.
After which, Mayor Larson
instructed Rosenow to tell the
board the person’s name.
Rosenow said that it was
Shayla Standaert.
The mayor then reread the
motion to approve the licenses
with the exception Standaert’s.
With no further comment,
the council passed the motion
5-1 (Klinger dissented) to grant
operator licenses to Madeline
Smith, Tara Lawson, Jennifer
Kuehl, Samantha Caress, and
Elle Wood.
Phosphorous
Tim Stockman of Foth
Company appeared before the
council to discuss the Waste Water
Treatment Plant’s evaluation
report for Phosphorous.
He told the members that the
city’s current system consists of
a pair of lagoons, a clarification
pond, and an artificial wetland.
Stockman said that their needs
to be more testing done over the
next several months to collect data
to assist in how best to handle the
Phosphorous.
It was hopeful that his company
could find a way to bypass or
minimize the city’s use of the
artificial wetland as it can actually
create higher discharge levels of
Phosphorous at times.
Stockman said testing should
be complete by August of next
year and then the report could be
submitted to the state.
Other Business
In other business, the council:
•Agreed not to exercise its
extra territorial rights on a 40-acre
parcel owned by Casey Wagner. A
portion of the property is within
a mile and a half of the city limits
which would give the council extra
territorial rights. Wagner plans

Continued from page 1
When asked about prices over
the years, Steve stated that the
fluctuation in crop prices over
the years hasn’t affected them as
deeply due to growing and feeding
of their own.
However, milk prices on the
other hand are something that has
a large impact.
“This year has been excellent,
but when we took over in 2008
that was the bad year, milk was
about ten dollars,” explained
Steve.
The numbers more recently
have roughly been at the $24 to
$27 range, but that is also an all
time high so an average of $17-18
is more of what they look for.
“Milking is more stable. In
dairy there’s about one or two
bad years out of 10 versus crops
there could be three or four in that
ten from what I hear,” said Steve
when asked whether milking or
dairy farming is more profitable
in terms of stability.
“I think there are more
headaches with dairying though,
its constant versus peak seasons
and down time with crops,” Steve
said.
Steve laughed as he shared that
maybe one day he would consider
crop farming when he wanted to
slow down, but for now it is dairy
full speed ahead for the Olson
family.
“I’ve always liked animals
and one thing I don’t like about
just crop farming is I like seeing
hay on the land and grass,”
explained Steve. “We pasture
a lot of ground, probably 150
acres... we have cattle all over,
had some by Glenwood... you don’t
see much of that anymore. I’m
not exaggerating when I say we
have at least 10 miles of fences to
maintain.”
The cows at Maple Hills Dairy
enjoy free range pasturing all
year round, but when the cleaning
system kicks on for the parlor,
they know to come running to the
barn.
The cows are milked twice a
day with the help of their hired
hands, one full time and three
part time workers and then Steve
himself two or three times a week.
Pork still helps run the tractors
and he does field work and he and
Carol will help feed the young
stock as well.
Steve and Angie both praised
their workers for their excellence,
which has helped keep them off
the farm.
With two young childrenMegan and Nick, Steve and Angie
are busy running to programs and
sporting events so being able to
rely on good help has been very
appreciated by them.
Aside from the farm and
children, both Steve and Angie
have full time jobs as well.
Steve has spent 14 years
working for St. Croix County. He
is currently in the Community
Development Department, which
has become a conglomerate of
programs such as Planning and
Zoning and his area of expertiseLand and Water Conservation. Prior to that, he also worked in
the Land and Water Conservation
Department in Dunn County.
Steve shared milking and
working a separate job is a unique
trait that the Olson family carries.
Karl was a carpenter and
milked, Clyde was a milk hauler
and milked and Pork was a
carpenter and managed a lumber
yard and then milked.
In those days, Karl was
managing around 40 acres of crop
land along with his dairy cows and
Clyde had around 240 acres.
Steve shared that in those days,
they typically grew a little bit of
corn and then some barely with
the majority being hay. Steve is
now the first generation to grow
soy beans.
Steve is the first generation
to use the milking parlor as was
stated. Prior to this, he grew up
first using milking buckets, then
they had a step saver and prior
to the parlor they had a pipe line.
Steve shared that one day he
hopes to upgrade to using a robot,
but that is a few years out.
As far as milk, the liquid
is picked up by Steve Nelson
Trucking and is sent to AMPI in
Jim Falls where it is transformed
into cheese.
One of the big contracts AMPI
has is with pepper jack cheese,
which is sold to a wholesaler
and then in turn sold to the food
franchise, Subway.
It is their milk that has
given Maple Hills Dairy great
recognition over the years.
Their cows have produced
quality award winning milk,
which was given to them by the
AMPI Co-op for having less than
a 200,000 somatic cell count for
ten out of 12 months.
Away from the farm and their
jobs at the County and Bremer
Bank – Angie has worked for
Bremer for 22 years – the Olsons
keep busy in a variety of ways.
This past fall Steve helped
coach his son’s football team and
he is an avid hunter with several
trophy bucks on display in his
home.
Aside from football Nick also
plays basketball and baseball.
Megan too plays basketball as
well as volleyball and softball, she
runs cross country and she is an
avid dancer.
In their spare time as a family,
they like to go camping every
summer and spend time fishing
and tubing on the water. In the
winter months they like to travel
some place warm.
Aside from their milk
recognitions, the Olsons were
recently honored with hosting
the 2015 Dunn County Dairy
Breakfast.
They will now open their farm
up to visitors on June 6, 2015 and
the County will provide a large
waffle breakfast buffet that is
available for $5.
“It is definitely appreciated
and a huge honor,” expressed the
Olsons.

Nov. 20 at the River Falls Public
Library at 7:00 p.m. in the main
floor meeting room. Come join the
circle and share/show your idea
for a small family history project
that you have created for a special
family member, reunion, or other
occasion.
Prepare to briefly (approx. 5
min) show, describe, and explain
how you made your item. We
are not looking for full-blown
bound family histories here.
Instead, we will consider smaller
scale creations that are not as
intimidating, yet will help you
make steps toward documenting
your overall genealogy in a lasting
family treasure. If you need ideas
to get started on your own project,
be sure to attend and see and
learn how others created their
projects.
This meeting is open to the
public, so please join us. If you
have questions, contact Darcy at

TIFFANY CREEK ELEMENTARY School fifth graders recently went on an overnight field trip to the
Beaver Creek Reserve, North of Fall Creek, WI. While at the camp, students participated in numerous
workshops, such as water quality of a stream, archery, GPS navigation, nature hikes and more. In
the evening, the skies cleared and the students were able to use the Hobbs Observatory’s 18-inch
telescope to look deep into the craters on the Moon and other celestial objects. After spending the
night in the cabins, there were more workshops and hiking in the woods. ConAgra donated the food

Regarding the October 21
hearing in St. Croix County Circuit
Court for the Town of Forest vs.
the Public Service Commission
of Wisconsin: John Lorence is
listed in court documents as the
attorney of record for the PSC
and was inadvertently identified
as the attorney in the courtroom.
Justin Chasco was the attorney
in the courtroom for the PSC on
October 21. In virtually all cases
— the exception being a public
defender on an initial appearance
for someone who cannot afford an
attorney — the attorney of record is
the attorney who appears in court.
Changing the attorney of record
requires the judge’s approval. The

Wisconsin’s SafeRide Program
saw a 13% increase in the number
of rides offered to impaired
individuals, according to the latest
survey of participating Tavern
League member establishments.
Data in the 2013-2014 report
shows over 80,000 rides, at a
total cost of over $960,000, were
provided throughout the state by
Tavern League members. Locally,
rides were provided by local TLW
members.
For almost 30 years, the
SafeRide program has been
in place at participating TLW
member establishments. Simply
by alerting a bartender, server,
or other wait staff, a customer is
guaranteed a free, safe ride home.
“The Tavern League’s SafeRide
program has a proven record of
success,” says Tavern League
of Wisconsin President Terry
Harvath. “We know it keeps
impaired drivers off the roads,
making it safer for everyone
throughout Wisconsin.”
Since 1985, the Tavern League
and the Wisconsin Department
of Transportation have worked
in conjunction to administer the
program, the largest of its kind
in the country. Found in over 60
Wisconsin counties, the program
has received national attention
from the National Conference for
Mayors for its efforts to reduce
alcohol related crashes and
fatalities. New information from
Wisconsin
Department of Transportation
indicates alcohol related crashes
declined 45% since 2003, while
fatalities have dropped 47%.
Tavern League Executive
Director Pete Madland confirms
the correlation between the TLW’s
SafeRide Program and the new
statistics. “Our members work
very hard to make SafeRide a
viable option for folks who feel
they cannot safely drive. We feel it
is an important factor helping the
dramatic decline in alcohol related
crashes in Wisconsin,” he says.

OFF THE EDITOR'S DESK
DAYS OF OLD
We spent this past weekend in Hayward and attended church there
Sunday morning. It’s hard to make light of anything that happened
during congregational prayer, but Sunday was an exception. One fellow
asked prayers for his mother who was in the hospital and another for
the passing of a loved one. Another was for the loss of the family pet.
But the last was a lady who asked for prayers for a Hayward police
officer. She related that he stopped her for speeding at 3 a.m., but did
not issue her a ticket!
Now that the election is over, was it that the Republicans won or the
Democrats lost? But watching all the national TV news the number
one reason was the economy and that was the reason given by almost
half of those responding to a poll. Some of the items talked about that
need addressing are the tax codes, immigration, a balanced federal
budget, government entitlement programs, social security, which will
run out of money in twenty years and to fix or repeal the Affordable
Health Care Act.
But the number one item that needs fixing is the national debt. We
are approaching $18 (not million, not billion) but trillion dollars that
needs to be repaid. That’s an obligation that we are passing to our
children and grandchildren and we all must work together and sacrifice
to get that paid off or at least paid down.
I have no idea what the interest on that $19 trillion is, but, it must
be a lot of money annually and that money paid in interest could be
returned into social programs, tax reductions, education or some other
great project.
How long has it been since our country has had a goal? I remember
President John F. Kennedy, in 1961, setting a goal for this nation to
put a man on the moon in that decade.
I remember that goal and how it brought the country together. I
watched for news on how it was developing. The challenges, the set
backs and the triumph and then on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong’s
words, first, it was, “Houston, Tranquility Base here, The Eagle has
landed,” and, then, later, as he stepped onto the surface of the moon,
“one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Our country needs something for all of us to cheer on.
Thanks for reading!— Carlton

By Bill Speros
Recently an article was
composed by Bill Speros, longtime sports journalist, and posted
to his blog about student athletes
and the fact that more children are
playing and less cuts are made.
The blog post by the Obnoxious
Boston Fan as he calls himself, is
titled “There’s a Reason Why Your
Kids Aren’t Playing- They’re Not
Good Enough;” excerpts from the
post read as follows:
The fall sports season is
reaching its zenith. Boys and
girls at all levels and grades are
running, stretching, planning and
preparing for cross-town or crosscountry rivals.
Fall, especially in New England
is a wondrous time of year even if
the Red Sox aren’t participating.
For high school athletes, it
means all those sweaty summer
practices, workouts and sportscamps are finally going to pay
some dividends.
The heart of any school
athletic season brings with it
busy schedules, frantic parents
or older siblings driving kids
from one field to the next,
competition, camaraderie, joy
and disappointment.
One question every coach from
Pop Warner and Youth Volleyball,
on up through the highest levels
high school competition in Texas,
has heard in their coaching career
is this:
“Why isn’t my kid playing?”
This topic came up in the wake
of a column that ran in the Boston
Globe last week about the lack of
play for some youth sports.
The absurdity of many “win-atall-cost” coaches in youth sports is
neatly matched by the fanaticism
of “play-my-kid-or-else” parents at
the high school level.
When the games start to count,
the main reason why your kid isn’t
playing is simple:
“They’re just not good enough.”
“He/she just isn’t fast enough.”
“He/she just isn’t strong enough.”
“He/she just isn’t tall enough.”
“He/she is too fat/too skinny.” “He/
she just didn’t try hard enough in
practice.” “He/she should not play
over Jimmy/Jenny because they’re
faster, quicker, stronger, taller,
and/or try harder.”
We’ll focus on football for the
rest of this conversation. Although
much here applies to all sports,
regardless of the game or gender.
Many coaches are notorious for
not telling what you and I would
consider the “truth.”
The coach of New England’s
NFL entry has mastered that skill.
And high school coaches who fancy
themselves as the “Belichick of
the … League” are likely to follow
his lead.
Parents get a little nutty at
times when it comes to their
children and youth/high school
sports.
Nearly every parent ever, at
one time or another in the dark
recesses of their minds, fancies
a scenario where their son or
daughter can master this or that
sport well enough to earn a free
rid to college.
When that dream/delusion
is squashed after meeting the
reality of genetics, talent, and/or
interest, it’s hard to reconcile. For
the parents, that is.
The thing is that many kids
know what they’re good at, and
what they’re not good at.
When it comes to football,
for instance, most of the middleschoolers or freshman already
know the one or two kids who are
good enough to play on the varsity
team.
And be the ones likely to catch
the eye of a college recruiter. Their
parents do not.
The rest play because they
enjoy it, need the discipline, want
to belong to a team, have dreamed
of it since they were five or six,
are trying to make their parents
happy, need a varsity sport on
their college application, or some
combination thereof.
There is another level of high
school athlete, the non-elite, that
encompasses about 99 percent
of those who play high school
and/or youth sports. They’re the
ones whose career in organized
athletics will end with their final
high school game.
Some of these kids are very
talented and skilled. They’re able
to throw the ball and catch the
ball, much to the delight of Gisele
Bundchen. They can beat anyone
in a footrace. They can bench twice
their body weight.
Others possess marginal
athletic skills, but make up for
it in practice, by getting stronger
and quicker, and with on-field
effort.
And no matter how much little
Billy tries, no matter how much
little Billy wants to play, there;s
no guarantee that he will play.
Participating in high school sports,
for instance, is no different than
any other education experience.
You learn about winning and
losing. You learn about bad calls
and bad breaks. And some kids
just aren’t good enough to play, at
least on a routine basis.
Far too many children today
are living a world where they
never learn “no.”
They don’t know how to handle
disappointment and failure. Nor
do they know how to react and
move on when they don’t get their
own way.
Interacting with actual people,
and not just the screens on their
iPhones or iPads, is a challenge,
if not an impossibility. I won’t call
this “abuse,” but its pretty … close.
This is a world constructed by
“well-meaning,” but is dangerously
naïve parents. The children know
no better because this is what
they’re taught.
Real-life doesn’t come with
“Participation Awards,” “8th Place
Trophies” or laudatory bumperstickers telling everyone that
you’re able to do your job without
screwing up.
Playing a team sport, like
football, with the right coaching
can help students learn life’s
difficult lessons, including Mick
Jagger’s truism that “you can’t
always get what you want.”
The joy of winning, the lifetime friendships that are crafted
among teammates, the sense of
accomplishment and, for some,
that varsity letter, makes the
effort worth the risk.
Some kids just aren’t good
enough to play at any competitive
level. This is not moral judgement.
They’re too big, too small, too slow,
don’t work hard enough off the
field, or aren’t physically strong
enough to be safe while being on
the field against better athletes
who won’t take it easy on them.
It sucks when your kid isn’t
playing. Been there, done that.
No reasonable parent wants to see
their child hurt. But no one escapes
this life unhurt, emotionally if not
physically.
When these kids move on in life,
they are going to get rejected when
they apply for college, turned down
when they ask out someone for a
date, fail to get the job they want,
the shift they want at work, and
taste failure and disappointment
on multiple fronts.
Legitimate safety concerns
aside, coaches should try to make
sure everyone gets some playing
time. But that should never come
at expense of other kids who are
more talented, try harder or spend
more time practicing.
No should be forced to play
sports. And no child should ever go
out for any team thinking they’re
going to be guaranteed a spot
or playing time, no matter how
loudly their parents complain.
There is, however, much on the
upside to playing team high school
sports that barely gets mentioned
nowadays.
In that sense, sports are a
true metaphor for life. No one
is guaranteed “playing” time
in life. For the most part, hard
work, effort, planning and desire
is rewarded. The benefits can
be wonderful. But it’s good to be
prepared for when it doesn’t work
out that way.
There is no rule in place for
telling an athlete “no” or making
cuts in our area schools. In fact,
in Districts like Glenwood City
and Boyceville, the enrollment
numbers are so low that it is
almost crucial to take all the
students a coach can get.
When numbers increase, then
a junior varsity squad or even a
c-team is put together. In a sense, coaches become
conditioned to learn to not say
no because their numbers are
limited.
Especially in a sport like
football when there is 40 players
on a team and 11 positions played
at a time.
The reason why your
kids aren’t playing sports

Hello friends,
This week I am writing to you
about one of the most reliable,
total getaways that I know of in
Wisconsin and that is the Turtle
Flambeau Flowage.
When I was nine years old,
my dad took me to the Flambeau
where we camped on an island
and fished for walleye. That first
adventure and the next 45-years
worth of great experiences has
made it so that I have no choice
but to return at least once each
year to one of Wisconsin’s true
wilderness getaways.
Sunday, October 26th
High, 57, low 32
My goal was to bowhunt, trap
muskrat, fish musky, and hunt
ducks! Reality says that when
you leave your house at 6:00
a.m. on a Sunday and have to be
back at 4:00 p.m. on a Tuesday
that the drive, launching the
boat and canoe, building camp,
and then reverse the process to
get home you better just pick
two forms of pleasure out of that
awesome menu.
I chose musky and ducks and
picked up three suckers on the
trip north. As luck would have it,
today was perfect for a bowhunt
or sitting on a lawn chair but
not so much for musky fishing,
as bright sun and zero wind is
my excuse for not catching the
musky of my dreams.
With three hours of daylight
left I went exploring by my
canoe, which was loaded with
decoys, a 12-gauge, and my
golden retriever Fire. When
there are ducks, I know where
they like to hang out and I was
pretty excited about my evening
hunt.
On my journey, I paddled
by dozens of muskrat houses
and kept thinking how much
I wanted to try my luck at
catching some muskrat and
maybe making some extra
money.
Though my hunt was a trip
down memory lane as I watched
the skies for flying objects, I did
not come close to getting a shot
at a duck. Less then a week
earlier I had caught a wolf in a
trap in west central Wisconsin
and that experience still has me
on a super adrenalin rush.
For about five years my
buddy, Jeff Neitzel and I camped
and bowhunted here and we
personally watched, as in this
immediate area, a pack of
wolves either ate or pushed
most of the deer to the outer
boundaries of their range. On
one hunt, I only saw a single
deer in 7 days, it was a doe
and she ran right underneath
my tree, I am not exaggerating
when I say that 50-yards behind
her was a large wolf.
This week’s column is brought to you by:

That was on day six and
pretty much took the wind out
of the sails of that hunt.
Monday, October 27th
High 53, low 32
When I was a kid and all
through my 20’s, I had numerous
“old timers” tell me that
there would come a day when
“harvesting” (ducks, deer, fish
ect.) would not be so important
as the quality of the attempt and
folks, that has happened to me.
Today I started my day by
soaking a sucker and casting
a Suick for musky. There was
no wind and bright sun. I knew
catching was going to be difficult
but I was once again swimming
down memory lane.
Five years ago, I was camped
on the same island that I was for
this trip. I was musky fishing
and bowhunting. I had caught a
beautiful 40-inch musky earlier
on the trip while doing a figure
eight with the same Suick as
I was using today and I was
fishing the same area that I was
fishing today.
A couple of days later on a
beautiful afternoon I was on my
way by boat to a bowhunt when
I thought I would throw that
same Suick in the same area.
On one of my first casts a rock
grabbed the Suick, then the rock
started swimming.
That rock ended up being a
47-inch musky, I tried releasing
it, I even waded in the flambeau
with it but she did not survive.
Instead of a bowhunt, I headed
to Mercer and found a freezer
and now that beautiful fish
lives on my wall.
Later this afternoon, I found
a new spot to hunt ducks and
my pup Fire once again proved
to me that she can sleep until
the birds fall out of the sky but
then she loves to swim out and
fetchem to her daddy!

ST. CROIX COUNTY
CIVIL COURT
Anthony C. Muellenberg, Shakopee,
Minn., is asking the court to order the
Wisconsin Department of Transportation
to condemn and pay him for property
he owns in the Hwy. 64 and Stillwater
bridge construction area.
According to the complaint, Muellenberg owns property at 1259 Hwy. 35N,
Hudson, and the DOT owns property at
1266 and 1270 Hwy. 35N, Hudson.
Muellenberg's property consists of
an upper portion near Hwy. 35, where
the house stands, and a lower portion
along the St. Croix River. The suit says
a steep bluff separates the upper portion from the lower portion, and it's not
practicable, and probably not possible, to
travel from the upper part to the lower
part along the river.
Muellenberg's property, the DOT
property and three adjoining parcels use
a reciprocal easement over each of them
to access Lake St. Croix. The easement
ends where the trail reaches the lake
and does not extend over Muellenberg's
property on the lakeshore.
According to the complaint, the DOT
bought one of its parcels for $955,000
and the other for $1,310,000 with the
intention of building a public highway
and bridge abutment and has now established a highway right of way for Hwy.
64, which includes both of the DOT parcels, and has torn out the easement trail.
Muellenberg says now neither he nor
his neighbors can access the easement
and the DOT continues to tear it out.
He says the DOT has "dramatically
lowered" the elevation of the ground on
which the easement sits and that change
in elevation along with the construction
of a retaining wall ensure that neither
Muellenberg nor his neighbors will be
able to access or use the easement. Also
because part of the easement now steeply
slopes toward Hwy. 64, even if they could
access the easement, it would be nearly
impossible to travel it either by foot or
by vehicle.
The suit says the DOT destroyed
the easement, and a new path over the
highway right of way washes out with
each storm, thus limiting the property
owners' access to the river.
Also, the suit says, the DOT has
placed large piers in front of Muellenberg's beach, "thus encompassing and
swallowing (his) water view."
The complaint says that during
construction, Muellenberg's property
has been subject to constant noise from
generators, pile drivers and earth movers that "continuously shakes" his house.
The suit alleges the DOT's actions
"constitute a permanent, compensable
taking" of Muellenberg's property. He
asking the court to require the DOT to
condemn the property and pay him a
fair price.
***
Kelley M. Seidling, River Falls, filed
a personal injury suit against David
M. Cronk, River Falls, and Western
National Mutual Insurance Company.
According to the complaint, on March
1, 2013, Seidling was injured in a motor
vehicle caused by Cronk’s negligence.
The accident occurred in St. Croix
County.

OBITUARIES
DENNIS JOHN KORBEL
Dennis John Korbel, 66,
formerly of Boyceville, WI passed
in his Merlin, OR home on January
8th, 2014.
He was preceded in death by
his parents, John and Irene Korbel
(Stancek) and his sister, Arlene
Schalk (Korbel).
Dennis’ spirit lives on with
nephew Walt Schalk III, nephew
and Godson Wayne Schalk, niece
Karen Hultsch (Schalk), and
cousins in Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Pennsylvania, and Australia.
Born October 17th, 1947 in
Glenwood, WI, Dennis grew up
on farms in Downing and Wheeler
before settling in downtown
Boyceville, WI. The family
moved to Chicago, IL where he
attended Resin Orr Elementary
and graduated from Luther High
School (Class of 1965). Dennis
began engineering studies at the
University of Illinois but was
called to service and enlisted
in the United States Air Force.
While stationed at Travis AFB,
CA, he studied computer science
and accounting at Solano Junior
College. Dennis also received his
Bachelor of Science degree from
the California State University,
Hayward in Geology, one of his
true passions.
After his discharge from the
Air Force, Dennis continued to
proudly serve his country in the
USAF Reserves and the California
Air National Guard. During his
service, he rebuilt many runways
and assisted with the response to
the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake

IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF YOUTH VOTE IN WISCONSIN
Governor Scott Walker wins all age
groups in the state, except youth voters
SERVICE - Glenwood
City senior and recent basic
training graduate, Ethan Barker,
spoke during the Veteran’s
Day Ceremony that was held
in the High School gymnasium
on Veterans’ Day Tuesday,
November 11.

How Veteran’s Affairs will change
under control of Robert McDonald
fired within the Veteran’s Affair
Department because of their
violation of values.
“It’s integrity, it’s advocacy, it’s
respect, it’s excellence. These are
the things that we try to do for our
veterans,” said McDonald.
However, McDonald said that a
case needs to be built up against
each individual in order to have
them fired. They must be brought
in front of a judge and that judge
will then have the finally say.
In the 60 Minutes interview,
it was stated that the phony wait
list was first exposed at a Phoenix,
Arizona hospital.
The excuse for the long wait
period was pinned on lack of
doctors and nurses and all around
staff, which caused chaos within
the hospital and its emergency
rooms.
McDonald addressed this issue
with giving a pay raise to current
hospital staff. He stated that as of
By Kelsie Hoitomt
On Sunday, November 9 there
was a CBS 60 Minutes segment
that had reporter Scott Pelley
interviewing Robert McDonald,
who just three short months ago
took over as Secretary of Veteran’s
Affairs.
McDonald became Secretary
after Eric Shinseki resigned upon
word getting out that tens of
thousands of veterans had been
placed on a phony wait list.
Instead of receiving care
immediately, veterans who reach
out to VA hospitals are being told
they will be on a wait list that
takes roughly 14 days.
Records show that the real list
has some patients waiting well
over 460 days; records of veterans
dying due to their extensive wait
have also been recorded.
Along with Shinseki’s
resignation, McDonald reported
that around 1,000 people could be
right now, about 28,000 doctors,
nurses and medical professionals
are needed and at least 2,500
mental health professionals need
to be hired as well.
McDonald was shown giving
presentations and taking phone
calls in an attempt to personally
recruit hospital staff so the wait
list times can be diminished.
Currently there are around
3 4 0 , 0 0 0 Ve t e r a n ’ s A f f a i r s
employees and there are at least
nine million patients.
Ve t e r a n s s h o u l d s e e a
significant change in the system
within the next year under
McDonald’s control.
According to McDonald, by next
year, new patients will be seen
by a doctor within 30 days, there
will be only one website instead of
12 and no one will wait for their
benefits.
Youth vote experts from the
Center for Information and
Research on Civic Learning &
Engagement (CIRCLE) – the
preeminent, non-partisan research
center on youth engagement based
at Tufts University’s Jonathan M.
Tisch College of Citizenship and
Public Service – on November
6 released in-depth analysis on
youth voters in Wisconsin during
Tuesday’s highly competitive
Gubernatorial election.
In a wave election for the GOP,
in which Republicans won the
youth vote in some states, young
voters (ages 18-29) preferred the
Democratic nominee Mary Burke
by a margin of 51% to 47% over
incumbent Wisconsin Governor
Scott Walker (R-WI). This was
the only age group in Tuesday’s
election that Walker did not carry.
“Young Wisconsin voters played
a key role in helping boost Mary
Burke’s numbers and keeping

latest weather reports to avoid
driving in a winter storm. You can
find out the latest road conditions
b y v i s i t i n g t h e Wi s c o n s i n
Department of Transportation
travel information website at
www.511wi.gov or by calling 511.
It is also important to check
and winterize your vehicles before
the winter season begins. Keep
your gas tank at least half full to
avoid ice in the tank and fuel lines.
Make sure your car’s battery is in
good shape – cold temperatures
can reduce the effectiveness of a
battery by 50 percent.
If expecting adverse weather
during your trip, tell someone at
both ends of your journey where
you are going and the route you
intend to take. Report your safe
arrival. Make certain that both

ages of 18 and 29, cast a ballot
in Tuesday’s elections across the
country — a turnout rate of 21.5%.
The number of young voters in
Tuesday’s election is comparable
to the turnout seen in other, recent
midterm elections. In 2010, the
two-day youth turnout estimate
was 20.9%, or around 9.2 million
young people.
“In terms of both youth turnout
and vote choice, 2014 looks like
a typical midterm election year
as far as youth are concerned.
Young people made up a similar
proportion of voters in 2010,”
said Peter Levine, Director of
CIRCLE and Associate Dean of
Tisch College. “Although this was
a wave election for the GOP, youth
still tended to vote Democratic.
In the national exit poll data on
House races, 18 to 29-year-olds
preferred Democratic candidates
by 54% to 43%.”
the election as close as it was,”
said Peter Levine, Director of
CIRCLE and Associate Dean of
Tisch College. “Young voters
were the only age group in the
state of Wisconsin that incumbent
Governor Scott Walker lost on
Tuesday night. They were also the
only age group Walker lost in 2010.
However, the democratic lean of
Wisconsin youth may be waning;
in 2010 Walker lost this group by
a greater margin of 55% to 45%.”

represented in the Wisconsin
electorate. Young residents make
up 19.7% of the overall state
population, and the youth vote
share in Tuesday’s election was at
18% of the total electorate - well
above the national youth share of
13%. On November 6, CIRCLE
has also released an exclusive,
national youth turnout estimate
showing that at least 10 million
young Americans between the

In the last five years, Wisconsin
has averaged 18,000 motor vehicle
crashes during the winter months
when roads are covered with ice,
snow or slush. On average, 45
people are killed and more than
4700 injured in Wisconsin each
winter season inaccidents when
roads are covered in ice, snow
and slush.
Many crashes are caused
by “driving too fast for current
conditions.” Also, when the first
blast of winter arrives, motorists
often need to “re-learn” how to
drive in slippery conditions.
parties have your cell phone
number and license plate number
before you start your trip.
Here are some driving tips. Be
gentle with both the accelerator
and brake. Don’t use cruise control
in wintery conditions. Don’t be
overconfident in your four-wheel
drive vehicle. You may get going
quicker than others but you can’t
stop faster. Four-wheel drive
vehicles can lose traction as
quickly as two-wheel drive.
Carry a winter storm survival
kit in the back seat of your vehicle
(in case your trunk jams or is
frozen shut) that includes:
• Blankets or sleeping bags
• Extra hats, socks and mittens
•F l a s h l i g h t w i t h e x t r a

• First-aid kit
