Ralph BOYCEVILLE — The Boyceville Community Ambulance Service has been awarded a $60,000 grant from the Otto Bremer Foundation to purchase two brand new heart monitors. M a t t F e e n e y, a m b u l a n c e service director, talked about the Otto Bremer Foundation grant and other grants received this year at the Boyceville Community Ambulance District’s December 10 meeting. The ambulance service’s old heart monitors will be replaced with two “top of the line” heart monitors, Feeney told the representatives of the ambulance district. Ambulance crews will now have two identical monitors, one for each rig, he said. The new heart monitors can send information to a hospital emergency room, and they are sophisticated enough to be able to take out the “artifacts” from driving over bumpy country roads, Feeney said. Road noise can interfere with the effectiveness of heart monitors, he noted. The new heart monitors can also tell EMTs if the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) chest compressions are deep enough, can determine pulse rate, and can determine the return flow and monitor blood gases, Feeney said. Several ambulance district members wondered how long the new monitors could be expected to last. Feeney said since these are top of the line monitors, he would expect them to last for ten years. In 2010, the Boyceville ambulance service bought a refurbished heart monitor for $14,000, Feeney said. “They’re spendy, but they’re really important … we’ll have them by the first of the year,” he said. “We’re very fortunate to have this nice equipment,” Feeney said. Numerous grants Feeney told the ambulance district representatives that the Boyceville ambulance service had received numerous grants in 2014. One of those grants was for $12,500 from the Community Foundation of Dunn County. Along with other grants, the Boyceville ambulance service purchased two power cots, one for each ambulance, Feeney said. The power cots cost $15,000 each, but they can save on back injuries when trying to move patients, Feeney said. Dunn County also received a radio grant for purchasing mobile radios and will be switching to the Wiscom frequency, he said. Feeney said he had sent in a request for eight portables and one base station. Glenwood City Council approves purchase of new John Deere loader is! GLENWOOD CITY — New it After months of deliberation and discussions, Glenwood City’s Common Council approved the purchase a new John Deere Model 544 Loader from Nortrax of Chippewa Falls during its regular monthly meeting held Monday, December 8. The council voted 4-0 (council members Ken Peterson and Nancy Hover were not in attendance) to purchase the new loader for a final cost of $129,670 and have it financed through Hiawatha National Bank at 3.70 percent over the next five years. The new loader’s original purchase price of $154,670 was discounted after the city received $25,000 in trade credit for its old loader. Mayor John Larson presented a pair of financing proposals to the council - the one from Hiawatha National Bank and the other through John Deere Credit at 2.75 percent for the same time period. “These are the two financing options for the loader,” Larson began bringing members’ attention to a pair of single sheet hand outs. “The first one is for 2.75 percent through John Deere Credit and if you look at the other one (sheet) it says 3.70 and that is what Hiawatha is offering us (for financing),” stated Larson. “We will be looking at five annual payments with either option,” added Larson. Each annual payment through John Deere Credit would be for $28,222.81 with the exception of the final year’s payment which would be $8.59 more. The interest portion of the payment for the first year would be $3,579.95 and would decrease each successive year. The yearly payment to Hiawatha National Bank would be $28,995.96 with a final year payment of $29,007.92. Interest payments would start at $4,1816.66 in year one and decline to a fifthyear amount of $1,035.00. “The total interest paid over the five years and the difference (between the two entities) comes out to about $3,869,” the mayor told the council. “Personally I still lean toward Hiawatha,” Larson continued. “It comes out to about $65 per month difference.” “And maybe they won’t up our rent on this place if we get it through them,” Larson said jokingly. City Council Please see pg 12 GC Elementary students give gifts to those in need By Kelsie Hoitomt GLENWOOD CITY — Last Monday, 64 Glenwood City Elementary students went shopping at Walmart in order to pick up gifts for three children around the Glenwood City, Boyceville and Spring Valley area for WestCAP’s Holiday Gift program. This is the second year that Mrs. Standaert’s first grade class has gone shopping for a child through the Holiday program at WestCAP. This year accompanying her class was Ms. Lewis’ kindergarten grade class and Mrs. Lenz’s second grade class. Typically the students in the elementary buy a $5 gift for an exchange party with their peers, however, this year the students were asked if they would like to donate the money and buy for children in need and they happily agreed. One student donated $30 of her own money and over the Thanksgiving break, she challenged her family to match her donation. She successfully raised another $150 to give to WestCAP. On Friday, December 12, the students went to WestCAP in Glenwood City to drop off their gifts for the three families. Each class had bags full of goodies with several dolls, toys, sleeping bags and winter clothing to give. The children were truly excited to be a part of helping a family in need. LIVE NATIVITY — The tradition continued as the Boyceville Ministerial Association once again performed its Live Nativity Scene as part of the 14th annual Spirit of Christmas celebration on Saturday, December 13 on Boyceville’s Main Street. A large crowd was on hand to witness the event and share in Christmas songs and music. The 2014 cast members of the Live Nativity, pictured above, included Cole and Megan Lauersdorf (Joseph and Mary), Easton Lauersdorf (Baby Jesus), Jared Nelson and Steve Silvius (Angels), Sorena Martin and Kayleen Bartz (Shepherds), Darlene Booth, Brian Frieburg, and Herb Dow (Wise Men), Emma Chich (The Star).

The crash remains under investigation by the St. Croix County Sheriff ’s Office and Medical Examiner’s Office. By LeAnn R. Ralph BOYCEVILLE — EMTs in Boyceville are expecting to move into their new ambulance station by January 1. Matt Feeney, director of the Boyceville ambulance service, reported on the status of construction on the new station at the Boyceville Community Ambulance District’s December 10 meeting. Design Built is officially done with the shell of the building, Feeney said. The inside of the building is being framed up, and the wiring is being installed, he said. One company had planned to donate the electrical work but due to their own work schedule, were unable to provide an electrician right now, Feeney said. Abe’s Electric out of Chippewa Falls has agreed to be the electrician for the job, he said. Feeney, along with Andrew Kissh, a lieutenant with the ambulance service, are certified Wisconsin electrician’s helpers. Feeney said that he and Kissh will be doing the electrical wiring at the ambulance station and then Abe’s Electric will inspect the work. “We both have experience with wiring,” he noted. The goal is to make it “move in capable” by December 21, and “we are making progress,” Feeney said. “It is coming along very well,” he said. Donations Wal-Mart Distribution out of Menomonie will be donating “smart” televisions for the new station, Feeney said. Beds and chairs have been ordered for the new station, and the Boyceville Ambulance Association will be paying for the beds and chairs and donating them, he said. Feeney said he had also met with the board of directors for a foundation in Minnesota that was founded by the parents of one of Boyceville’s EMTs. Foundation members had approached the Boyceville ambulance service and said they wanted to donate money, he said. Feeney said he expected to find out in a day or two how much the foundation would award to Boyceville. Ribbon cutting Herb Dow, a trustee on the Boyceville Village Board, is a founding member of the Boyceville ambulance service, Feeney said. Dow is working on compiling a list of all who have worked as EMTs in Boyceville to invite them to a ribbon-cutting ceremony, he said. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will most likely be held at the end of January or in February, he said. A grand opening for the general public will be held during Emergency Medical Services week in May, Feeney said. The telephone number for Boyceville’s new ambulance station is (715) 643-3911, and the fax number is (715) 643-3912. The Boyceville Community Ambulance District meets next on January 14 at 7 p.m. following the Boyceville Community Fire District meeting. By LeAnn R. Ralph WHEELER — The Wheeler Village Board approved a new labor contract with employees at the December 9 meeting. Following a closed session that lasted only a few minutes, t h e W h e e l e r Vi l l a g e B o a r d unanimously approved the new contract for 2015. Marlene Larson, village trustee, noted that village board members were pleased with the job being done by Robin Goodell, village clerk-treasurer, and Chris Goodell, water operator, to keep the village running smoothly. The new contract reflects a wage increase of 1.6 percent, the maximum allowable by state law. Wisconsin’s Act 10 prohibits collective bargaining with public employees for working conditions and other benefits and only allows bargaining for a wage increase equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In other business, the Wheeler Village Board set the village’s caucus for January 6 at 6 p.m. The village board also approved a two-year contract with the Dunn County Humane Society. The humane society contract is based on a per-capita assessment of $1.52 for 2015 and $1.63 for 2016.

In addition to the parade, live nativity scene, and other festivities that have taken place in past years, Homes for the Holidays, a tour of Boyceville homes, will be added to the roster of main events this year. Several rural Wilson residents have expressed concern over some of their neighbors’ exotic pets which reside at the Shawna Callahan and Jon Elsenpeter residence (Vanishing Kingdom) in Cady Township, with concern with the fences and the accident that occurred last month with Elsenpeter being bit by one of the tigers. Ronald Braker, Tony Brandt and Shaina Braker were transported to Holy Family Hospital in New Richmond after they were injured in a two-vehicle accident that occurred Sunday, Nov. 28 at the junction of Hwy. 128 and 170th Ave. north of Glenwood City. 25 years ago Tribune of November 8, 1989 For most voters in our district the vacant Shoemaker State Senate Seat is the main attraction of this year’s limited election palette, as the seat is left open by Richard Shoemaker’s arrest. A referendum in Wilson has also been called to determine if the 80-acre farm of Claude and Louella McGee will be allowed to detach from the village. The Glenwood City Common Council’s Property Committee will be meeting shortly to discuss the sale of the two city-owned pieces of land. On Saturday afternoon Nov. 4th the Glenwood City Pom Pon squad placed second out of nine class C squads in the Stout Pom Pon Clinic/ competition. 50 years ago Tribune of January 7, 1965 Fire last Wednesday night, December 30, severely damaged the home of the Clarence Greeno family here and forced a hasty evacuation. Six children were rescued from the burning home, and the fire started in the basement. The Town of Forest tax roll is up $2,156.23 from last year. The Town of Springfield tax roll is down $783.66 from last year. The City of Glenwood City tax roll is down $179.73 from last year. The Village of Downing tax list is up $976.69 from last year. Farmers in St. Croix county planted more than 750,000 trees under the Agricultural Conservation program in 1964. As a result about 600 acres of relatively unproductive land has been put to work raising a crop that will be needed in the future - and one that will provide a good many benefits to the community in the meantime. 60 years ago Tribune of December 16, 1954 Funeral services were conducted Wednesday morning for Miss Emma Elizabeth Dunnigan, who for several years was the postmistress at the Wilson postoffice. The Tribune has been asked to again remind parents that, according to a city ordinance, curfew time is still 10 o’clock. Wisconsin Farmers are selling milk cows at the lowest price per head in eight years, according to the Federal-State Crop Reporting Service for Wisconsin. 95 years ago The Glenwood Tribune November 13, 1919 The Wisconsin State Highway Commission has officially announced the new Federal-State trunk highways which are to be laid out in Wisconsin. Glenwood City is to be situated on one of these new Federal routes. Father Walsh of St. Patrick’s church, Erin, gave us the pleasing information that the church fair held last Wednesday brought in $2,050.25. “The Day of Days” is the way the Boyceville people are styling next Saturday, Nov. 15 and from the list of gilt-edge attractions which they announce, they are well warranted by calling it such. Among the attractions will be hogs at the Downing-Soo station, aeroplane stunts, and jazz bands.

The “Best Decorated Home” was won by Ron and Deanna Steinberger with second place going to Brian and Corrie Roemhild. The traveling trophy for “Best Decorated Business” will be held this coming year by Jamie’s Department of Health Services (DHS), influenza activity is increasing in Wisconsin. There have been approximately 190 influenza-associated hospitalizations, including children, adolescents and adults, already reported in Wisconsin so far this influenza season. Twothirds of those hospitalized with influenza were aged 65 and older. Influenza is a contagious disease caused by influenza viruses that infect the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs). The illness can be mild to severe, and sometimes fatal. Symptoms usually begin suddenly, with fever, headache, dry cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, fatigue, and body aches. The best way to prevent influenza is to get vaccinated each year. As long as flu viruses are spreading and causing illness, vaccination can still provide protection against the flu. Flu activity typically peaks between December and February in the United States, and the season can last as late as May. While there’s still time to benefit from a flu vaccine, the sooner you get vaccinated, the more likely you are to be protected against the flu when activity picks up in your community. SUBSCRIPTION RATES 1Yr. Dunn, St. Croix, Polk & Pierce Counties $3000, $1700 for 6 months. 1 Yr. Elsewhere in WI & MN - $3500, $ 00 19 for 6 months. 1 Yr. Elsewhere in continental U.S.-$4000, $ 00 23 for 6 months. At Newsstand ......................................$100 The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older as the first and most important step in protecting against seasonal flu viruses. A flu vaccine offers the best protection available against this serious disease. Once vaccinated, it takes about 2 weeks for the body’s immune response to fully kick in. Where Can I Get a Flu Shot? Public Health still has influenza vaccine available for people who have no insurance, or have Medicare or Medical Assistance. Call the health department at 715-246-8330 to schedule an appointment for a flu shot. Or call your health care provider to get a flu shot. Other Ways to Avoid Getting Influenza •Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use an alcoholbased hand sanitizer •Cover your cough or sneeze using your upper sleeve, try to avoid touching your face with your hands •Don’t share drinking cups or straws service going out with tax bills In the coming weeks, St. Croix County Property owners may see a flyer with their tax bills to sign up for a free property fraud protection service. This free service is provided by the Register of Deeds office to monitor documents and receive notice of activity affecting property title. “This service is easy to sign up for and offers a little extra peace of mind with just a few clicks of the computer mouse,” St. Croix County Register of Deeds, Beth Pabst said. “Participants can choose whether to receive their alerts via e-mail or over the phone. A common property fraud scenario involves a criminal filing a bogus deed making it appear that the actual owner had transferred ownership of a parcel to someone else. The criminal then takes that deed to a bank, fraudulently obtains a mortgage and then disappears with a large amount of money. While it can happen to anyone, perpetrators of property fraud often prey on the elderly, people in long term care facilities, absentee property owners and owners who spent large parts of the year out of town. While these crimes have yet to occur in St. Croix County, property fraud is a serious problem in some of our nearby states. “The best protection we can offer against property fraud is proactive protection. This service is making St. Croix County less attractive to criminals and is in the best interest of the community,” Pabst said. Pabst hopes everyone takes advantage of this service to protect their investment. If you do not receive a flyer you can sign up online at www. propertyfraudalert.com and using the drop-down arrow to select St. Croix, WI from the list. If you have more questions please contact the Register’s office 715386-4650 or [email protected]. The free service and database are managed and maintained by Fidlar Technologies, the county’s software provider for land records.

It is not too late to get a flu shot Notice of free property fraud According to the Wisconsin Who Needs a Flu Vaccine? THE TRIBUNE PRESS REPORTER Carlton R. DeWitt Editor and Publisher Most of us know who the Beach Boys are, but if you are young and missed their music over the last half of a century, they are a musical group from California that was started in 1961 by the three Wilson Brothers, a cousin and a friend. They had many hits. Paula and I accompanied Bruce and Lana Everts of Luck to a Beach Boys concert Friday evening in Hinckley, Minnesota. Their songs and the slide show that accompanied brought back many memories of the 60s. Many of their lyrics were about surfing and fast cars. The audience was asked how many men were in love with their cars, and apparently everyone in the building responded. Americans have a love affair with their automobiles and for me it was my 1961, 390, four barrel, dual points, solid lifters, three and the tree with overdrive, and a rag top. Its 375 horsepower was the fastest thing around. I took it to a drag strip in New Brighton, MN and it did over a hundred miles an hour in the quarter mile run in less than 14 seconds. It was the fastest, until the 409 Chevrolets came out and that is one of the songs the Boys made famous. “She’s real fine, my 409, when I take her to the track she really shines, She always turns in the fastest time. My four-speed, dual-quad, posi-traction 409.” That song and others sure brought back a lot of old memories, and that is what life is all about. Speaking of memories, and that is what Christmas is all about, too. Getting together with family and friends to celebrate the birth of Christ. I am wishing you all a happy and blessed Christmas.

THINK PURPLE - Instead of dressing in purple in support of the Vikings game November 21st, the students of Glenwood City supported a different cause, Epilepsy Awareness. With November being National Epilepsy Awareness month, Glenwood City High School students grades 9-12 dressed in purple to raise awareness on the subject. Senior, Megan Samens encouraged all students throughout the week to wear purple in support for the cause.

Both contests ended in a loss for the Bulldogs. Unity road trip The Eagles are on top of their Lakeland-West conference this season and they took the win, but the Bulldogs were able to stay neck and neck except for one quarter in the 45-33 final. That one quarter that was a game changer happened to be the first as the Bulldogs only scored one point in the entire eight minutes, which came from a free throw by Sam Hellmann. The Eagles posted ten unanswered points to set them on pace for the victory. The Bulldogs were able to pull it together and play some basketball in the second quarter with nine baskets made for a total of 18 points. Unity stayed consistent on the court with 13 of their own scored, which gave them a five point lead of 24-19. After the third quarter, the Bulldogs trailed by four in scoring with six points posted on their side and ten from Unity. That pace remained the same throughout the remainder of the game with the Bulldogs scoring eight final points to the Eagles’ 11. The Bulldogs went the entire game with no three-pointers scored. They posted 13 doubles and had seven free throws. Brady Schutts led the team in points scored with 11 from five doubles and one free throw. Mitch Leach followed with seven from three doubles and he was one for one at the line. Hunter Anderson finished the night with five points from two doubles and one free throw. Hellmann ended up with two free throws and one double.

Defeated at home The Bulldogs fell to 0-3 in the Dunn-St. Croix after the Vikings beat them 43-36 last Friday night. The Bulldogs trailed by six points at the end of the first quarter with the score at 7-13. Schulz was hot from the arc with three triples scored in the game including one in the first quarter, one in the third and then one in the fourth. His triple along with a double from McIntyre and Hellmann accounted for the Bulldogs’ seven points. The second quarter was a wash with both teams posting seven points so the Bulldogs walked into the locker room at the half trailing by six points with the score at 14-20. The aggressive play heated up in the quarter with more fouls called. The Bulldogs were on the line once with one basket scored from Schutts. The Vikings took ten shots themselves with five making it through the hoop. Micadin Kahl, Anderson and Leach each had a double in the quarter as well. Out of the half, the scoring remained consistent with the points ending in a tie again with both teams posting nine for a 2923 score at the end of the third quarter. The Bulldogs’ nine points were scored on a three and a double from Schutts, a second triple from Schulz and a free throw by Leach. The game ended with the Bulldogs posting their best quarter with 13 points. The Vikings held their edge over them with 14 of their own scored. Leach and Schutts scored ten points between the two of them with a double and a triple from Schutts and then Leach landed three free throws and a double. Leach was fouled a handful of times, which gave him six opportunities at the line and he was successful with four. As a team, the Bulldogs were under 50 percent at the line with five of their 12 shots actually counting for points. Schutts led the team in the points with 11 from one free throw and then two doubles and his two triples. Schulz followed with nine from his three triples.

Peterson then was fouled on the rebound with just over two seconds left and she made one shot for a four point deficit of 27-23. Their momentum carried into the start of fourth quarter, which tied the ball game for the first time at 27s after Malean and Peterson broke away down the court for back to back layups.

Their border battle against the Bulldogs was an intense game with aggression on the court and in the stands with hoots and hollers as fouls were called or missed. The Toppers led in the first quarter 11-4 after Jenesa Klinger scored the first shot and Moriah Kuehndorf followed. Megan Samens was the first player fouled and she made one basket to give the Toppers a 5-0 led BANKING THE BALL of the glass for the lay up is Jennifer Kopacz for two points in the first quarter of the Topper’s game against Boyceville. —photo by Kelsie Hoitomt with only 2:30 left to play. The Bulldogs scored their first basket following the foul, but Klinger landed a three pointer to bring their lead back up. The quarter ended with the Bulldog’s scoring their second double for their four points. The second quarter started with Kuehndorf scoring the first basket. This was the only shot made by the Toppers until the final seconds when Jennifer Kopacz let the ball fly from behind the arc for three. The ball handling was very poor throughout the second quarter with turnover after turnover caused by Boyceville. The Toppers themselves were able to get their hands on the ball a few times, but the quarter score did go to the Bulldogs with a 7-5 difference in points. Out of the half, the Toppers led by five with the score at 16-11. Samens was then fouled as she drove the ball to the hoop for the first points of the quarter. The Bulldogs went on a scoring run with three players fouled and then two threes were dropped, which put them down by four at the end of the third. The fourth quarter started with the score at 27-23, but the Bulldogs closed that gap after two players scored back to back lay ups for a tied ball game. This was the only time the Bulldogs had an edge over the Toppers the entire game. They gained their lead back on a basket under the hoop from Becca Moll. Kopacz landed two foul shots for the team and Kuehndorf knocked in a double and a foul shot to put the score at 43-34. The game ended with Klinger on the line with two foul shots and she made both for the 45-36 final. As a team, the Toppers scored 13 doubles, 13 free throws and two triples.

Samens finished with five points from one double and three free throws and Moll and Gabby Peterson each had a double. In Cameron, the Toppers managed to hold their own for the most part, but they still lost 69-46. Cameron finished with a perfect 12-0 season last year in their Lakeland-Central conference with a run at the Sectional Championships until they were beat by Regis. The Toppers started the game down by six with the score at 15-9 in the first quarter. Kopacz knocked down two doubles and Kuehndorf and Samens each had one as well as a free throw from Megan. The second quarter was the game changer with Cameron really stepping up their offense. They posted 19 points against the Toppers’ five for a 20 point difference at the half of 34-14. The Toppers came out of the half playing really good ball with 16 points scored in both the third and fourth quarters.

They were on the road Tuesday (Dec. 16) for a contest in Colfax. Toppers open season with loss to Mondovi and Plum City/Elmwood By Kelsie Hoitomt The Glenwood City boys basketball team opened their season with a game at home last Tuesday against conference competitors, the Mondovi Buffaloes. The Toppers lost by three in the 49-46 final, but for their first game, they played very well despite the loss. They attempted to take their first win on Friday night, but they were defeated in the long run by Plum City/Elmwood with that final score at 61-52. Home against Mondovi The Toppers kept the game fairly clean with only four foul shots taken by Mondovi in the first half. That number tripled in the second half, but in order to get the ball back in their possession in the fourth quarter, the Toppers needed to commit fouls. The game could have easily gone the other direction, but the shots were not in the Toppers’ favor with countless attempts either hitting the rim or bouncing in and out of the hoop. The Toppers only trailed by one point in the fairly slow offensive first quarter. They posted eight points against Mondovi’s nine with Todd Petersen, Marcus Kadinger, Kip Wallace and Jake Hierlmeier each shooting a double. The second quarter was a completely different ball game. The Buffaloes turned up their momentum and began to play aggressively on both sides of the ball. They scored 11 points before the Toppers finally put a shot in, which was a three by Wallace that put the score at 11-20 with just under three minutes left to play in the half. Mondovi’s Greg Poeschel landed three triples in the quarter alone to give the Buffaloes the push they needed to take a 24-14 lead at the half. Hierlmeier let go of the ball near mid court as the buzzer rang for the team’s second basket and final three points of the quarter. Out of the half, Mondovi continued with their fast tempo, which put four points on the board within the first minute. Kadinger managed to drive a shot to the basket for the Toppers’ first score of the third quarter. Hierlmeier followed with two back to back three point shots with under five minutes to play. With less than two minutes on the clock, the Toppers were trailing 22-33 with the majority of their time spent on defense. They scored ten points in the third quarter with eight coming from Hierlmeier after he drained two free throws. Mondovi put up 11 points of their own for a 35-24 lead going into the final eight minutes of play. The fourth quarter started with Petersen driving in the first basket. He was fouled along the way and was brought to the line for one free throw. He made the basket for three team points. Four minutes later, he was fouled again and scored both shots, which brought the game to within five points, 34-39. The Toppers were applying good pressure defensively, but Buffaloes were still able to get shots off to keep their lead. The clock began to dwindle down in time so more fouls needed to be called on the Toppers in order to get the ball back, which put the score at 34-41. Hierlmeier landed a three to put the score back within five and then he was scored a double and was fouled on the trip in for a 4045 deficit. Every time they scored, Mondovi answered back. Kadinger hit at the three from the top of the arc to put the team down by four and then Hierlmeier landed one as the buzzer rang for the 49-46 final.

Wallace had five points from his one triple and one double and Nathan Mrdutt had one double and a free throw for three. Road trip to PC Against the Plum City/Elmwood Wolves co-op, the Toppers started out strong with 14 points scored in the first quarter for a tied ball game. They fell behind in the second quarter by just three points as the Wolves outscored them 15 to 12. Those three points turned into six points when they finished the second half with 11 points scored against the Wolves’ 14 for a 37-43 score going into the final eight minutes. That three point deficit in the quarter was a constant as the fourth quarter ended with the Toppers trailing in points 15-18 for the nine point difference in the final score of 61-52. “We again were plagued by too many turnovers and poor shooting. They again made the shots down the stretch and we did not. They (Toppers) played very hard and did a lot of nice things at times, but still trying to work on those wrinkles and execute better,” explained coach Tristan Kittilson. On the court, Petersen and Kadinger led in points scored for their team with 13 each. Hierlmeier followed with 12, Wallace had seven, Tyler Woodruff had three, Mrdutt had two and Norenberg and Allen Croes each had a free throw. The Toppers were in Clear Lake on Tuesday night (Dec 16) and then they will be back home this Thursday, December 18 against St. Croix Central. Page 6 - Tribune Press Reporter - Wednesday, December 17, 2014 Boyceville wrestlers lose home opener to Clear Lake BOYCEVILLE — Despite the strategic moves of it’s coaches, the Boyceville wrestling team could not overcome some key absences due to injuries and illness as it fell to Clear Lake 38-31 in its home dual opener Tuesday, December 9. In a battle of state-ranked squads (Clear Lake is ranked fifth in the first 2014-15 D3 poll and Boyceville is seventh), the Bulldogs were without senior Tyler Stroo, due to the flu, and junior Jake Lake, who was nursing an injured ankle, which forced head coach Jamie Olson and his long-time assistant Corey Day to bump up several of their wrestlers a weight class in order to compensate and give the Bulldogs their best chance for victory. Clear Lake, however, took ad- vantage of Boyceville’s depleted line-up and scored some key pins to take the win. “Overall, they out wrestled us,” said head coach Jamie Olson about Clear Lake’s win. “We had our chances in a couple of matches,” added Olson. “We need to continue working hard and improving on our positioning.” The Warriors won the dual’s opening two matches. Freshman Noah Weiczorek put Clear Lake on the scoreboard first with a 9-0 major decision over the ‘Dogs Jake Erickson at 220 pounds. Mitch Lien, the Warriors’ state-ranked 220 pounder, moved up to heavyweight and scored a late second-period pin on Brandon Windsor to give Clear Lake an early 10-0 advantage. Boyceville would erase that deficit in the next two matches and knot the dual at 10 aside. Second-ranked Dyllon Johnson, the younger brother of reigning state champion Micah Johnson, made a successful home debut as he dominated fellow freshman Ryan Anderson 13-1 at 106 pounds, to score the Bulldogs first four points of the dual. Senior Austin Wolfe, a returning state place winner and also ranked second at his weight class, stuck the Warriors’ Nick Elmer at the 2:24 mark of the pair’s 113-pound match. The pin earned Boyceville six team points and a 10 all deadlock. Clear Lake would again take the lead with wins in the following two matches - Freshman STUCK — Freshman Cody Frederick (on top) scored six points for Boyceville when he pinned Clear Lake’s Blake Johnson just 56 seconds into the pair’s match at 138 pounds Dec. 9.

Boyceville responded with its own back-to-back wins. Seventh-ranked James Palmer slide up a weight class and earned a 10-4 win over Zach Elmer at 132. Another promising Boyceville freshman, Cody Frederick, needed just 56 seconds to pin Warrior sophomore Blake Johnson in the 138-pound match and even the team scores at 19 points each. Holding true to form, the Warriors claimed wins in the next two matches and a 29-19 lead. Alex Colbeth pinned Dylan Lamm at 3:28 of the 145-pound match and Brandon Aasmundrud followed with a 13-5 major deci- sion over Bulldogs’ freshman Justin Malean at 152. Over the next two matches, Boyceville was able to forge its first and only lead. The Warriors gave state champion and top-ranked Micah Johnson a free pass. After Johnson had moved up to 160 pounds, Clear Lake coaches decide to forfeit the match to the Boyceville sophomore. 170-pound freshman Garrett Joles, ranked sixth at that weight class, then gave the Bulldogs a two-point lead, 31-29, with a second-period pin fall against Clear Lake senior Mitch Paulson. Heading into the second-to-the-last match, senior Logan McAbee-Thomas looked to put the dual in the Bulldogs’ win column with a pin at 182 pounds. Instead, Andrew Johnson scored the pin at 3:00 to help the War- riors retake the lead 35-31. In the final match at 195 pounds, Ian Ruble held off a rally by Boyceville’s Alex Lovett to score a 6-2 win and secure a 3831 Clear Lake victory. “We had great performances from Dyllon Johnson, Austin Wolfe, James Palmer, Cody Frederick, and Garrett Joles,” said Olson. “This was a tough loss but how you bounce back is a the key to being a good team,” concluded Olson. “I think our kids will be fine.” Boyceville, who competed in the Dells Duals this past Saturday (see related story), will wrap up its pre-Christmas schedule on the road, traveling to Chetek-Weyerhaeuser/Prairie Farm Thursday (Dec. 18) and to Osceola for an invitational on Saturday (Dec. 20). out a four-win tournament. Dyllon opened with a trio of pins. He stuck Laconia’s Dylan Jacob in 1:05, followed that with a 43 second fall of Bailey Lawinger of Mineral Point before getting a third-period pin against Nolan Kraus of Stoughton. Dyllon lost his only match of the day in the next round when he fell 15-0 to fellow freshman Benji Peak of Elkhorn (ranked sixth in Division 1). Johnson received a forfeit against DeForest to finish his tournament. Senior Austin Wolfe began and ended his tournament with a pair of falls and forfeits at 113 pounds. The only blemish was a middle round loss of 7-1, to Stoughton’s Brandon Klein. Wolfe stuck Laconia’s Zachary Foth in the first round and Elkhorn’s Jayce Coffey in the fourth round and received forfeits in his second and fifth round matches. Senior Logan McAbee-Thomas went 3-1 on the day at 182 pounds with a fall over Cowan Mulder of Laconia, 12-8 decision against Kyle Juedes of Mineral Point and a forfeit in the Stoughton dual. He lost to Elkhorn’s Keaton Verhoeven by fall. Heavyweight Brandon Windsor scored victories in his first three matches, all via falls including a 12 second pin of Laconia’s Taylor Stafford in the firstround dual. Windsor was pinned in his final two matches to finish 3-2. Brock Swenson (120), James Palmer (126/132), Tyler Stroo (132/138), Cody Frederick (138/145), and Alex Lovett (170/182) each finished 2-3. Jordan Morse was 2-2 at 160 pounds. Freshman Garrett Joles (knee) and senior Jake Lake (ankle) did not wrestle in the Dells Duals due to injuries. Boyceville drew Laconia in the first round of competition. The Bulldogs won nine out of ten bouts from 285 pounds to 160 pounds and dominated with a 5521 win. Logan McAbee-Thomas (182), Brandon Windsor (285), Dyllon Johnson (106), Austin Wolfe (113), Tyler Stroo (138), Cody Frederick (145), and Justin Malean (152) all registered pins. James Palmer had a 11-3 major decision at 132 pounds. Seventh-ranked Boyceville and third-ranked Mineral Point each won seven matches when they tangled in round two but the Bulldogs’ had four pins and a pair of forfeits that help boost them to a 39-29 win. Boyceville ran out to a 30-10 lead as Jake Erickson, Brandon Windsor, and Dyllon Johnson each won on falls and Austin Wolfe and Jason Swanepoel earned forfeits. But the Pointers came roaring back with five straight wins from 132 to 160 including Pittz overtime win against Micah Johnson to cut the Bulldogs lead to just one at 20-29. Alex Lovett and Logan McAbee-Thomas would stop the streaking Pointers cold and give Boyceville the win in the final two matches. Lovett pinned at 170 pounds and McAbee-Thomas won a 12-8 decision at 182 pounds. Stoughton would hand Boyceville its first loss of the day when the Bulldogs and Vikings met in round 3 for a crossover match between Pool A and B competitors. Boyceville crafted an early 12-3 advantage with a pins by Brandon Windsor (285) and Dyllon Johnson (106). Stoughton, however, would win the next six matches to take a 30-12 lead. It would not be until Micah Johnson scored a pin over Joe Jensen at 152 pounds that Boyceville was able to put some more points on the board. Jordan Morse earned a 12-0 major decision at 160. But Stoughton took two of the final three matches for a 42-28 win. “Drawing Stoughton in the crossover match was a great measuring stick for our kids,” said Olson. “They are a very solid team with some outstanding individuals.” Returning to Pool B action in the fourth round, Boyceville would again find itself on the short end of the score in a 46-24 loss to eventually pool titlist Elkhorn. Boyceville trailed the entire match and found itself down 31-9 after eight matches before Micah Johnson won a decision at 152, Alex Lovett pinned at 170 and Noah Novotney drew a forfeit at 195 pounds. Boyceville would find its winning ways in the fifth and final round. The Bulldogs jumped on DeForest early and sprinted to a 33-0 lead with pins from Brock Swenson (120), James Palmer (126), and Cody Frederick (138), and two forfeits (106 and 113). Micah Johnson and Jordan Morse would tack on Boyceville’s final points with pins at 152 and 160 pounds respectively for a 45-6 advantage. DeForest closed the match with five straight wins including two by fall and another by major decision for a final tally of 45-28. A junior varsity tournament was held the evening prior to the duals and Boyceville had three champions crowned. Zach Smith (152), Tyler Krueger (145), and Jason Swanepoel (126) finished atop their weight classes. Brandon Hakanson and Jerod Nelson finished second, Gavin Olson and Alec Schaffer placed third, and Tanner Anderson took fourth. Bulldog grapplers go 3-2 at Dells Duals WISCONSIN DELLS — The Dells Duals Classic has rapidly become one of the premiere early season wrestling tournaments in the state. This year’s tournament field swelled to 28 teams in five different pools and featured eight state ranked teams from across all three divisions including Boyceville, ranked seventh in this season’s first Wisconsin Wrestling Online poll. For the second straight year, the Bulldogs, seated seventh in the first Division 3 rankings of the season, finished second in their pool. Boyceville went 3-2 in duals at the 2014 tournament held Saturday, December 13 at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells. Boyceville competed in Pool B and finished 3-1 in the roundrobin format with wins over third-ranked Mineral Point, DeForest, and Laconia (those three finished third through fifth respectively). The Bulldogs suffered their lone loss of pool play to eventual champion and Division 1 ranked Elkhorn. Boyceville also lost to Stoughton, ranked fourth in the Division 1 poll, in a Pool A-B crossover match. Stoughton defeated Spring Valley/Elmwood to take the Pool A title. Pools A and B featured the topranked squads of the dual tournament and included a crossover match for each of the five teams in those two pools. The remaining three pools (C-E) consisted of six teams each. “I was very pleased with the response our kids showed after the disappointing match against Clear Lake (on Thursday),” said Jamie Olson, Boyceville head coach. “We came out with a lot of intensity in that first dual and it carried throughout the day,” con- tinued Olson. “I had a chance to match up our best kids against some of the best kids in the state,” Olson added. “When you can do that early in the year and get a feel for what our weaknesses are, we can get after them now and be ready for the push at the end (of the season.” Five Bulldog grapplers finished the tournament with winning records against some of Wisconsin’s best. Dyllon Johnson (106), Austin Wolfe (113) and Micah Johnson (152/160) each finished the tournament at 4-1 to lead the Bulldogs. Logan McAbee tallied three wins in four matches at 182 pounds and Brandon Windsor had a 3-2 mark at 285 pounds. Micah Johnson opened the tournament wrestling at 160 against Laconia’s Zach Coffeen (a state qualifier at 145 last February) and earned a 12-5 win. Micah dropped back to his usually 152-pound slot where he edged Konnor Mohr of Elkhorn 7-4 and pinned both Bret Williams of DeForest and Joe Jensen in under a minute. Johnson’s lone loss, his first in over a year and only his second of his young high school career, came in the Bulldogs’ dual against Mineral Point. The 152-pound match pitted junior Scott Pittz, ranked number one in the Division 3, 160-pound weight class, against Johnson, who is a defending state champ and top-ranked wrestler in the early 152-pound poll after taking third at state last season in the same weight class. Johnson and Pittz wrestled to a 2-2 deadlock at the end of regulation. In the first overtime, Pittz scored a takedown for a sudden victory, 4-2.

Tribune Press Reporter Colfax Messenger PO Box 38 105 Misty Court Glenwood City, WI 715-265-4646 An Outdoorsman's Journal A column by Mark Walters The Red Brush Gang! “The Best stories of 2014” that one or the other of us puts Hello friends, We are wild, crazy, hunt harder then a lot of people that I know, and seldom go to bed before 3:00 a.m. What I am talking about is the deer camp that my father the late Robert Walters started back in the late 50’s in northern Juneau County and that well over 20 of us call home at some point during Wisconsin’s nine-day deer gun season. Tuesday, November 25th High 26, low 12 This part of the world received a horizontal snowstorm yesterday that dumped 7-inches of snow and would make deer hunting conditions brutal for a variety of reason for several days. One! Visibility in the woods and marshes was 5-feet to 100-yards due to every tree and willow bush holding onto the snow. Two, The Red Brush Gang does deer drives the entire last 7 days of the season and because the snow was often falling onto our rifles, the actions on our rifles were freezing up and often could only be thawed at the end of the day by our trucks exhaust so that we could unload them. To d a y m y b u d d y, D o u g Cibulka, who fished the same stream as me when we were kids and I were the only two people in camp and our plan was to check out some new country that we had received a tip on, that was in The Necedah National Wildlife Refuge and adjacent to land that we have hunted for over 50-years. In this situation, I was wearing hip boots as was Doug, we both carry packs and we walk away from the truck all day, living by the compass and at dark, we work our way back to the truck. The snow and warm temps before the snowstorm has created the worse problem of all and that is the dreaded “half ice”! Half ice sometimes supports the person walking on it and sometimes does not. This years added bonus is that the water table is up in a big way so what is generally knee deep is waist deep Doug and I are walking 50-yards abreast of each other, and hoping to kick up a buck a hole in so that we can eat venison and look at it on the buck pole Our adventure is maybe 20 minutes long when I take a hard fall through the ice and fill my right hip boot. Ten minutes later I fell face first as I was going through the ice and I am soaked. Twenty minutes later and still working away from the truck I watch Doug go through the ice and even saw is rifle completely go underwater. We love deer camp! Friday, November 28th High 34, low 22 We n u m b e r r o u g h l y 1 2 hunters today, ranging from the age of 13 to 62. Our day is spent doing drives and as usual, working away from the truck. It is 3:45 and we are setting up our final drive of the day and it is a one-mile square of marsh and scrub oak forest. We a r e r u n n i n g o u t o f daylight, we must hurry. First, 13-year-old Dylan Walters misses a buck. Then at least one other buck is kicked up late in the drive. Daylight is fading, shots are fired. I am the end driver and am exactly 3 miles from the trucks. I see a rocket sailing over the marsh grass, it’s a buck. My first potential shot in 7-days. I put a bullet in the 5-pointer and one very physical drag back to the truck begins. The next two nights! Travis Dushek brags about how much he loves deer heart and shows everyone how much by kind of cooking my bucks heart on the campfire. After a few minutes the buck’s heart erupts from Trav’s belly! I am hiding parts of my humongous bucks anatomy in my 26-year-old nephew Riley Schusters pillowcase. Riley catches me and for no real reason attacks me. We wrestle and fall onto Chris Grinde's sleeping bag in a rather hard way. Chris is in his sleeping bag and takes his new head injury well. There are 12 kids between 19 and 26 in this camp! Many of us hide in the woods after dark and throw snowballs at the guys hanging around the campfire and watching Trav consume my monster buck's heart. This week’s column is brought to you by: Ormson’s SUPERVALU Pharmacy inside! THE ROCKPILE by Leaker For the second time in a row, the "Clear Lake Self Storage" team won the second quarter on the Thursday Nite Ladies league. On the Wed. Nite Ladies league the M&M gals locked up the first half honors. Congrats to both teams! We have several more leagues that are bowling for either quarter or half winners. I'll update these results next week. Just a reminder to our bowlers: The Christmas Tournament starts next Monday night. There are still plenty of sign up times available. The sign up schedule is posted. Please check it out this week!! Back When Farmer John lived on a quite rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic slowly built up at an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at the rate of three to six a day. So one day Farmer John called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens." "What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff. "I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!" So the next day he had the county workers go out and erect a sign that said: SLOW -- SCHOOL CROSSING. Three days later Farmer John called the sheriff and said, "You've got to do something about these drivers. The 'school crossing' sign seems to make them go even faster." So, again, the sheriff sends out the county workers and they put up a new sign: SLOW -- CHILDREN AT PLAY. That really sped them up. So Farmer John called and called and called every day for three weeks. Finally, he asked the sheriff, "Your signs are doing no good. Can I put up my own sign?" The sheriff told him, "Sure thing, put up your own sign." He was going to let the farmer do just about anything in order to get him to stop calling every day to complain. The sheriff got no more calls from Farmer John. Three weeks later, curiosity got the best of the sheriff and he decided to give Farmer John a call. "How's the problem with those drivers. Did you put up your sign?" "Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has been killed since then. I've got to go. I'm very busy." He hung up the phone. The sheriff was really curious now and he thought to himself, "I'd better go out there and take a look at the sign...it might be something that WE could use to slow down drivers..." So the sheriff drove out to Farmer John's house, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign. It was spray-painted on a sheet of wood: NUDIST COLONY -- GO SLOW AND WATCH OUT FOR THE CHICKS.

Out of the 14 weight classes, there were seven forfeits, six pins and then one decision, which resulted in the Toppers winning 45-36. The dual started with Dan Taylor, Jake Nadeau and Brad Kessler each receiving forfeits in their 106, 113 and 120 weight classes. LFG’s Cole Britton then put his team on the board when he received a forfeit at 126. The first mat action of the night followed with Trevor Larson getting pinned after 5:35 of wrestling against Pete Lund. Marcus Ullom put the score further into the Toppers’ favor after he pinned Jared Lund in the second period. 12 additional points were awarded to the Toppers at 145 and 152 when Jake O’Meara and Spencer Peterson received forfeits. Then LFG answered back with 18 of their own scored after Triston Brewer pinned Austin Wannemacher in 3:15. Then Carlos Perez was pinned in the second period of his 170 pound match and Tony Glover of LFG received a forfeit at 182. The night finished with Jake Logghe beating Mikel Louis by a 6-0 decision and then Hogan Chouinard won by a fall over Matt Louis. The final heavy weight match award points to LFG after Parker Steen pinned Quinton Rogers late in the match. The Toppers were back on the mat Tuesday, December 16 with a quad at home. They will then travel to the Northwestern High School for an invitational this Saturday, December 20 that is scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. PRAIRIE FARM DARTBALL RESULTS December 8 Hay River . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 Packer Inn . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 9 3 8 5 St. Paul . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 11 Yanks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 3 2 3 Badgers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 Wildcats . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 3 4 6 0 Connorsville . . . . . . . . . . . 0 4 7 Sheridan . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 3 1 Top Hitters: Terry Ford 800, Jason Lanson 529, Randy Hoff 500, Dennis Lemke 500.

Injuries from alcoholrelated crashes dropped from 6,445 in 2003 to 2,660 in 2013, which is a 59 percent reduction. In addition, seat belt use in Wisconsin is at an all-time high with nearly 85 percent of drivers and passengers buckling up, according to WisDOT. Pabst says, “The goal of law enforcement officers during Booze and Belts and throughout the year is to save lives and reduce injuries by getting motorists to buckle up and drive sober – not to issue more tickets or make more arrests. We all must work together to attain zero preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin, and there’s no better time of year to make progress toward that goal than right now.” PUBLIC NOTICES (December 3, 10, 17) STATE OF WISCONSIN CIRCUIT COURT ST.

Committee attending: Gilbert Krueger, John Hellmann, Jonathan Farrell. Also attending: C.J. Swanepoel. Monthly bills were reviewed. Clerk presented what she thought the board intended for who should get paid the Christmas bonus. It was learned the committee had discussed this in closed session at a previous meeting but hadn't given it to the clerk. The committee reviewed the list again and changes were made to what the clerk had presented in the purchase order in that Jennifer Anderson was deleted, and Heidi Upton and Doug Hellendrung will get paid $200 each which is 1/2 of a typical full time amount. Heidi wasn't a full time employee during the year but pretty much filled Hellendrung's shoes when he left. Clerk inquired as to what the board's intention is for the quarterly Health Savings Account payment which is made January 1st for January, February, and March. She was advised to delete Jennifer Anderson, Dan Wellumson and add Heidi Upton as a single policy. No payment for Brandon Scott because he is "interim". Krueger moved, Hellmann seconded motion to recommend payment of the bills as presented and discussed to include the changes for HSA and Christmas bonus. Voice vote carried. Clerk inquired as to the board's intention for Brandon Scott benefits decided at a previous meeting. Since we gave Heidi Upton 1 week vacation (because she was a part time employee hired as full time employee) do we want to do the same for Brandon Scott since he was a part time police officer. Response was no, because he is interim. At a previous meeting the board stated Brandon Scott gets benefits, but clerk was advised this didn't mean vacation, sick leave, and personal days. The vacation could be pro-rated. Clerk asked how to handle the health insurance for Brandon Scott. Our manual says coverage is provided immediately, but we had Heidi Upton wait until the next pay period which put her with coverage for the first of the month. It was decided to provide coverage immediately. It was suggested the manual be reviewed to make sure it says what we truly want to have happen because it makes more sense to have coverage the first of the month following the date of hire. It was stated we need to review where the files are kept for personnel because it should be in one location Hellmann moved, Farrell seconded motion to adjourn. Voice vote carried.

CROIX COUNTY CIVIL COURT Edina Realty Title, Edina, Minn., filed suit against Melissa E. Winther and Christopher R. Ryan, both of Hudson, DMG Mortgage, San Ramon, Calif., and Pacific Guarantee Mortgage, San Francisco, Calif. According to the complaint, Kyle and Tina Kogler formerly owned the property at 19 Nicolas Way and had a mortgage with Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems. They filed for divorce in September 2013. A year later Kyle Kogler granted a quit claim deed on the property to Tina Kogler, and she gave a warranty deed to Ryan and Winther. The complaint says that to buy the property, Ryan and Winther borrowed $230,000 from GMC and Pacific Guarantee. The proceeds of that mortgage were expected to be used to pay off the earlier mortgage and fund the purchase, according to the complaint.

The complaint says that three days later Edina received notice that its account had been debited for $261,560 because the check was bad. Edina alleges fraud and is asking for "a constructive trust" against the property for $261,560 plus advances and costs. *** First National Community Bank, Hudson, filed suit against David M.

He attended Bolen Grade School and Glenwood City High School. In January of 1951, Eldon joined the U.S. Army Paratroopers and proudly had 25 jumps to his credit. Eldon married Dolores Dougherty on May 31, 1951. To this union, six children were born, Trudy, Traci, Kevin and Michael and two stillborn daughters. For many years, Eldon was a milk hauler out of the Boyceville and surrounding area, starting with canned milk. He enjoyed visiting with the farmers and teasing with their kids. He traveled many roads and loved to talk to people, making friends and acquaintances along the way. After selling the milk route, Eldon was a school bus driver for Boyceville Schools and also sold aerial farm photos. Eldon was active in the Boyceville community, serving on the Fire Dept. and Ambulance for many years. He was a member of the Boyceville Booster Club, one of the founders of the Snojammers Snowmobile Club, also the County and State Snowmobile Assoc. He was also a member of HarmonHarris American Legion Post 314 of Boyceville.

To share a memory, please visit obituaries at www.olsonfuneral. com Resolve to give blood in January for National Blood Donor Month The American Red Cross asks eligible blood donors to make a resolution to give blood regularly in 2015, beginning with National Blood Donor Month in January. National Blood Donor Month recognizes the importance of giving blood and platelets while honoring those who roll up a sleeve to help patients in need. It has been observed during January since 1970, and that’s no coincidence. Winter is an especially difficult time to collect enough blood to meet patient needs. Unpredictable winter weather can result in blood drive cancelations, and seasonal illnesses, like the flu, may cause some donors to be unable to make or keep blood donation appointments. Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with O negative, A negative and B negative. With a shelf life of 42 days, red blood cells must be constantly replenished to maintain an adequate supply for patients. Individuals who come out to give blood Jan. 1 through Jan. 4 will receive a long-sleeve Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last. To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Upcoming Blood Donation Opportunities January 5, 2015: 12 p.m. - 6 p.m., Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 615 Maple St., Glenwood City. How to Donate Blood Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

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 Get a free subscription to the Tribune Press Reporter VETERANS HONORED - These American Legion members stood as Elementary Student Council President, Molly Draxler led the entire gymnasium in the Pledge of Allegiance during the start of the Glenwood City School District’s Veterans’ Day Ceremony on Tuesday, November 11. —photo by Kelsie Hoitomt Four generations of farming in the Olson family For a limited time subscribe to, or renew your subscription to the Tribune Press Reporter and get a gift subscription for a friend or relative who is NOT currently receiving or has not City Council received the Tribune Press Reporter in the last 24 months. POLICE CHIEF IS RETIRING Please see pg 2 Boyceville village board approves wage schedule, puts off land appraisal for fire hall 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.

Board member Herb Dow indicated that the Ohly “wants to increase production next year.” The engineering firm of Sambatek will do the study yet 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 FREE 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.

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 This limited time offer will give you a chance to have that special person receive news from the surrounding area.

Monn said when he talked to the representative from the FAA on the telephone, the gentleman had pulled up the grid map of the Boyceville airport on his computer and said the fire district would need to determine the closest corner of the building to the runway and the closest height to the runway. Mike Blechinger, the fire district’s representative from the Town of Tiffany, worked with the FAA to locate flagpoles at the Boyceville airport for the veterans’ memorial. Blechinger suggested going to the center of the lot and then finding the longitude and latitude with a GPS unit. M a t t F e e n e y, B o y c e v i l l e ambulance service director who sat in on the fire district meeting while waiting for the ambulance district meeting to start, suggested going to Google Earth to find the longitude and latitude. Google Earth would be a good tool to use, “but I don’t know where the dot is,” Swanepoel said. What about putting cones out at the site? asked Brian Marlette, Boyceville fire chief. If cones were put out at the site, a person could work back from the center and then find the number of feet from the airport building, said Gilbert Krueger, village president and chair of the Boyceville fire district. By LeAnn R. Ralph BOYCEVILLE — As the old saying goes — nothing is ever easy. In order to determine whether a new fire station will fit within the height restrictions on the villageowned site behind the BP gas station in Boyceville, the precise location from the airport must be determined to establish the exact longitude and latitude. After the last special meeting of the Boyceville Community Fire District December 4, Rich Monn, chair of the Town of Stanton and chair of the fire district’s five-year planning committee, reported at the fire district’s December 10 meeting that he had contacted the Federal Aviation Administration. An obstruction evaluation form on the FAA’s website must be submitted to determine whether a new fire station would fit within the airport’s height restrictions, Monn said. Monn also called Five Bugles Design about the process and said he had been told that they could design a fire station that would not exceed a height of 30 or 35 feet, if that turned out to be the height restriction for the building. Cindy Swanepoel, village clerktreasurer and clerk-treasurer for the fire district, said she had tried to access the obstruction evaluation form on the FAA’s website. The form asks for the precise longitude and latitude of the proposed building; a site evaluation; total structure height; any previous FAA studies of the site; a United States Geological Survey (USGS) map with the precise site marked; and a complete Krueger suggested that in the next couple of weeks, representatives from the fire district, along with Marlette and Don Rose, director of public works, could place cones on the site to indicate the location of where a fire station could be situated. Blechinger said that since he had worked with the FAA on the flagpoles, he would be willing to do what he could to help with determining the height restrictions. Members of the fire district agreed that placing cones would be a logical place to start in the process of determining height restrictions for the possibility of building a new fire station. Other business In other business, the Boyceville Fire District: • Learned that the Boyceville fire department had gone out on 11 runs in the last month and that the total runs for the year so far is 85. The 85 runs to date is very close to the department’s all-time high number of runs for one year, Marlette said. The most recent runs included setting up two landing zones, several car accidents, two mutual aid runs for Menomonie, two lift assists, a structure fire and a carbon monoxide alarm. • Approved not paying the second half of the Five Bugles Design/Architectural Design Group fee of $2,556.05 for preliminary design on a new fire station until the company has actually completed the work. • Set the next meeting for January 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the Boyceville village hall. ROASTING WEINERS and marshmallows at the community bonfire proved to be a popular thing at the 14th Spirit of Christmas celebration in Boyceville Saturday, December 13. The weiners, buns, and all the fixings for smores were provided free of charge by Peoples State Bank and the Boyceville United Methodist Church.

When Klinger asked about early pay-off, Larson said that there was no early pay-off penalty with either financing option. Larson told the council that he did have John Deere figure out what the cost of a straight lease would be. He reported that a fiveyear lease would run $10,731 per year instead of the $28,000 to $29,000 per year for five years to purchase. Larson did ask for the council’s thoughts on leasing saying there is something to be said about having something new every year. “My opinion is that we own it,” said Klinger. “If we maintain it properly it will last for 25 years and be in good shape. I know it will be a burden for five years to pay for it but then we are in good shape again.” “I have heard some comments, because it is my job to listen to the taxpayers in town, because we have upgraded our equipment so much the last couple of years,” Klinger added. “But you can’t be airing the tire up every day, the pin is worn and tires are $2,000 a piece,” not Klinger of the city’s old loader. “That is just it,” council person Ben DeGross said. “Our equipment is being maintained better.” “I know we have a tight budget and it is a concern,” Klinger said but pointed out that it is priority need. After some more discussion, councilperson DeGross made the motion to purchase with financing through Hiawatha National Bank. Members Klinger, DeGross, Steve Lee and Crystal Booth all voted in favor of the motion. Doug Doornink, Director of Public Works, noted that the new unit does have a 7-year warranty and will come with a three-yard bucket but that a special frame will have to be purchase to attached the snow blower. In other business: •Approved an operator’s license for Lisa M. Lovgren •Learned that payment was received from the Glenwood City School District for its share of this past summer’s swimming lessons held at the city pool. Mayor Larson also told councilpersons that the Town of Forest had also submitted payment for its residence use of the city’s recycling center. He also said that there was no indication from Forest Township officials that they would not be using the garbage and recycling center in 2015. •Approved a request by Glenwood City Police Chief Robert Darwin to attend the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association Conference in Wisconsin Dells February 9-11 of next year. Darwin reported that the cost of the 3-day conference was $135 plus approximately $240 for the hotel stay ($80 per night reduced rate as part of the conference registration.) The chief did note that the cost for the conference was covered by his training budget. FINISHED - The new Boyceville Ambulance building has been completed.
