Fire damages storage building at Misty Meadows Wood Products
GLENWOOD CITY — Fire
damaged the large chipped wood
storage building at the Misty
Meadows Wood Products Company located on Glenwood City’s
Seventh Street last Tuesday evening.
The 24,000 square foot steel
storage building is part of the
company’s chipping and wood
drying facility that chips wood
logs into material for animal bedding and other products. The facility is located just west of the
Glenwood City Schools complex.
The Glenwood City Fire Department was called to the facility shortly after seven Tuesday
evening, January 13 and the first
arriving company could see that
the piles of wood chips were on
fire. One firefighter described the
fire as charcoal in an outside grill
glowing red hot.
Heavy smoke and cold weather
hampered firefighting activities.
The MABAS (Mutual Aid Box
Alarm System) went into effect
and that brought more nearly 90
firefighters and EMS personnel
and several pieces of fire fighting
equipment from 17 area fire departments. It took several hours
before firefighters were able
to drown the flames and clear
smoke out before they could enter
the building. Firefighters had to
remove some of the steel siding
from the west side of the building
to get at hot spots.
Glenwood City fire chief Greg
Holden reported that firefighters
and equipment from Boyceville,
United Fire (Woodville, Baldwin
and Hammond), New Richmond,
Menomonie, Clear Lake, Elmwood, Spring Valley, Elk Mound,
Colfax, Roberts, Hudson, and
Deer Park helped the Glenwood
City Fire Department battle the
blaze. Aerials units from Baldwin
and Menomonie were also called
to assist while engines from
Glenwood City, United Fire and
Boyceville were used to supply
water to firefighters. Many of the
other fire departments provided
tenders (water) trucks.
EMS units from Glenwood
City, Baldwin, and Boyceville
and the St. Croix County Mobile
Communication’s vehicle were
also called to the scene. Glenwood
City Police assisted with security
and traffic control.
Fire officials were concerned
that the need for water for fighting the fire might overload the
Glenwood City’s water utility so
water was trucked to the scene
in tank trucks. Fortunately, the
amount of water that was used
did not overload the city’s system
and it was reported that the utility had plenty of water in its storage facility.
Chief Holden said that there
were no injuries reported during
the seven hours that firefighters
spent on the scene.
John Logghe, owner of the
company, stated that approximately 100 tons of chipped wood
were lost to the fire. Logghe
hoped that the firm could be up
a running again by the weekend.
Bonding Could Total $9.24 Million

HEAVY SMOKE poured from the Misty Meadow Wood Products’ chipped wood/sawdust storage building on Glenwood City’s Seventh
Street early Tuesday evening, January 13 as nearly 100 firefighters from 17 area departments battled the fire for seven hours despite the thick
smoke and single-digit temperatures. Owner John Logghe estimated that nearly 100 tons of sawdust were destroyed in the fire which caused
severe damage to the structure. But Misty Meadows was back in operation by the weekend. —photo by Shawn DeWitt
School Board approves language for upcoming referendum
By Kelsie Hoitomt
GLENWOOD CITY — The Board of Education held a special meeting
Monday night in regards to a referendum election on April 7.
Board members Judy Achterhof, John Logghe, Lori Klinger,
Lisa Kaiser, Jon Mrdutt and Charlotte Obermueller-Stout voted
unanimously “yes” to pass two resolutions in regards to the referendum.
These two resolutions will be on the ballot in April. Voters will have
the option to vote yes for both resolutions, vote yes for only one or to
vote no for all the above.
Resolution number one that was approved was the initial resolution
authorizing issuance of General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to
exceed $4,740,000.
The money is to go towards the upgrading of the HVAC system
(heating, ventilating and air conditioning) in the elementary, roof
replacement in the elementary, moving of both offices to the front
entrances in regards to safety, fire alarm replacement, elementary
traffic flow improvement, exterior lighting and technology upgrades.
This resolution if approved will have no additional amount levied
so there will not be an increase on taxes.
Resolution number two that was approved was the initial resolution
authorizing issuance of General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to
exceed $4,500,000.
This money would cover the cost of upgrading the HVAC system
throughout the Middle School and High School.
The system upgrade is crucial in the fact that there are some serious
air quality and energy efficiency issues that currently raise a problem
in the school.
If voted yes, that resolution would not have an impact on the mill
rate either.
And to put that all together as one, the Board approved the resolution
providing for a referendum election on the questions of approval of two
initial resolutions, authorizing issuance of General Obligation Bonds
in an aggregate amount not to exceed $9,240,000.
If this option is voted upon and both resolutions are put together
for that nearly $10 million dollar bond, that would raise the mill rate,
however the estimated raise is less than one dollar to the tax payers.
There were other items approved at the meeting as well. One was
the approval of posting for two administrative assistant positions.
The other approval was to raise the hourly wage stipend up $2 for
the executive administrative assistant position.
The Personnel and Negotiations committee did meet before the
meeting and retirement was discussed.
It was stated that there was no resolution made at the meeting and
further discussions will need to be had in order to find a retirement
plan that the Board agrees on completely. That means that currently there is no retirement plan in place for
those staff members who would like to retire at the end of this school
year. They would only have access to their state retirement.
It was also stated in last week’s article that at the December 8
meeting, there were all yes votes on the retirement proposal, but in
correction, Charlotte Obermueller-Stout did vote no.
Village of Wheeler water tower
suffers ‘crash’ in cold weather
GARAGE DESTROYED — Glenwood City firefighters worked to extinguish a fire that destroyed
a garage and its contents late Thursday morning, Jnauary 15 in Hersey. The garage was owned by
John Hanson. A snowmobile that Hanson was working on along with his pickup truck where also
destroyed in the fire. Hanson’s house, which can been seen in the right side of the photo, was not
damaged thanks in part to the metal siding on the garage that helped to contain the blaze. Baldwin
EMS and United Fire assisted at the scene. —photo by Shawn DeWitt

W H E E L E R — Wi t h t h e
electricity off in the early-morning
hours January 12 — and with
outside air temperatures hovering
around 20 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit or a little colder in
some areas — several Wheeler
residents were awakened by a
loud crash.
“It was so loud, I thought the
water tower was coming down,”
said Marge Carter, wife of James
Carter, village president.
The loud crash involving the
water tower was a subject for
discussion prior to the Wheeler
Village Board’s January 13
meeting.
The Carters live right next to
the water tower in Wheeler.
Although no one knew for
sure what had happened, Jim
Carter speculated that with the
electricity off, water had drained
out of the tower but had not been
replaced, and because it was so
cold outside, ice had formed on the
interior of the water tower, and the
ice had let go and fell to the bottom
of the tower.
Both Jim and Marge said that
the water tower makes quite a lot
of noise in freezing weather.
“It sounds like a lake when
the lake is freezing over,” Marge
Carter said.
Robin Goodell, village clerktreasurer, said that when the
weather was warmer toward the
coming weekend, Chris Goodell,
w a t e r o p e r a t o r, a l o n g w i t h
someone to assist him, would take
a closer look at the tower to see if
there was any damage.
W h e e l e r Vi l l a g e B o a r d
members noted the electricity
was off several hours early that
morning, and it did not take long
for the temperature to plunge
inside their homes.
Natural gas
During the regular Wheeler
Village Board meeting, Linda
Crosby, village trustee, wondered
why Wheeler does not have
natural gas lines to provide “city
gas” to village residents.
Crosby noted several people
have asked her that question and
have said they would like to have
natural gas because the cost is
cheaper than liquid propane.
Village President Carter said
he has been asked that question
several times as well.
The village has never been
offered natural gas as an option,
he said.
All of the furnace fittings in
the village would have to be
changed to accommodate natural
gas, Carter said, adding that gas
lines would also have to be dug in
around the village.
“It would be a mess,” Crosby
said. “We’d have to be torn up like
we were when water and sewer
was put in.”
Goodell said she would call
around the next day to find out
who to contact about natural gas.
“If we were going to consider
this, we would need to have a town
meeting,” Crosby said.
The natural gas company also
would have to attend the meeting
to explain what the process would
involve, noted Marlene Larson,
village trustee.

Two-vehicle crash claims
life of Woodville woman
Boyceville Ambulance gets
$90,000 in grants for equipment
B O Y C E V I L L E
—
Representatives from area
municipalities that form the
Boyceville Ambulance District
learned that the service has
received $90,000 in grants
recently. This information was
released at the regular monthly
meeting of the District on January
14th.
Matt Feeney, EMS Chief,
informed the meeting that the
grants included a $60,000 Otto
Bremer Foundation grant for the
purchased of two heart monitors.
Feeney had one of those monitors
at the meeting and demonstrated
the unit to members.
Feeney stated, “We are veryvery fortunate to have this
equipment,” which he called the
top of the line. He noted that
the new heart monitor was put
into service last week following
training with members of the
ambulance crew. He also spoke
about the new power lift cot that
they received. “It can lift 750
pounds,” Feeney said.
Feeney addressed the progress
with the construction of their new
quarters. He indicated that he had
hoped to be in the new quarters by
the first of the year, but noted the
set backs they have had with the
construction. He indicated that
they could be in the new building
by next month.
In another matter, Village
President, Gib Krueger questioned
the finances and noted that the
operating account was almost
$27,000 in the negative, but he
noted that the building fund still
had a $65,000 balance, plus a
$10,000 CD.
Fire Department
Fire Chief Brian Marlette
reported on the activities of the
fire department for the past year
and indicated that the department
had the highest number of runs in
many years. His report indicated
the department was called out 89
times in 2014. Of that number,
15 were mutual aid calls. They
responded to assist the Menomonie
Department six time; Glenwood
City, four times; two times each to
Elk Mound and Prairie Farm and
one run to help the Sand Creek
Fire Department
The members of the fire district
talked about the installation of dry
hydrants in the townships of New
Haven and Tiffany. But there was
some question about the county
not allowing anything attached
to bridges. The group will explore
this idea more.
As for the finances of the fire
department, the report showed
that there was a balance at the
end of the year of $154,634.57 plus
a CD in the amount of $100,000.
The next meeting of the group will
be on Wednesday, February 11 at
the Boyceville Village Hall.
DNR recommends study of
industrial frac sand mining
By LeAnn R. Ralph
C O L FA X — T h e s t a t e
Department of Natural Resources
has recommended moving forward
with a detailed study of industrial
frac sand mining to determine the
impact of mining on human health
and on the environment.
The DNR made the
recommendation on January 12
as the result of a petition signed
by more than 1,000 West Central
Wisconsin residents submitted to
the Wisconsin Natural Resources
Board last fall.
Midwest Environmental
Advocates drafted the 29-page
document, “Petition for a Strategic
Analysis of Frac Sand Mining,”
which contains a number of
technical references and citations
and argues that the state
Department of Natural Resources
must gather and use scientific
information to adequately regulate
the frac sand industry to protect
the health, safety and welfare of
Wisconsin residents.
Representatives of MEA
presented the petition in
September to a group of about
60 people who gathered at the
Howard Town Hall.
The Natural Resources Board
asked DNR staff to respond to the
petition in October.
Five years ago, a handful of frac
sand mines were operating in this
area of the state, but the number
has now increased to over one
hundred sand mines and may be
closer to 150.
One company is proposing to
develop a 2,000 acre sand mine in
the Town of Howard, and another
800 acres is reportedly under
contract, or is under consideration
for contract, in the Town of Colfax,
according to information given
to the Dunn County Planning,
Resources and Development
committee at the committee’s
January 13 meeting.

At Newsstand ......................................$100
will be meeting January 23 to
further consider the proposal to
do a strategic analysis of frac sand
mining.
The Chippewa County Board of
Supervisors approved a resolution
at the January 13 meeting to
support the strategic analysis of
frac sand mining.
The Dunn County Planning,
Resources and Development
committee approved at their
January 13 meeting forwarding
a similar resolution to the Dunn
County Board for consideration
at the county board’s meeting
January 21.
According to the petition
asking for a strategic analysis of
sand mining, metallic and nonmetallic mining can cause acid
mine drainage by exposing large
surface areas of sulfide rock to air
and water.
The petition states that Roman
mine sites in Great Britain
continue to generate acid drainage
2,000 years later.
“This is an important
step forward for our state’s
environmental protection agency
to provide a comprehensive study
of the frac sand industry so that
citizens can have an in-depth look
at the facts on silica sand mining
and our environmental protection
needs,” said MEA Executive
Director Kimberlee Wright in a
news release issued about the
DNR’s recommendation.
Midwest Environmental
Advocates is urging residents
in this part of the state to send
comments to the Natural Resources
Board thanking the DNR for
responding to the citizen petition
and for recommending that the
DNR do a strategic analysis of
sand mining.
Comments can be e-mailed to
Laurie.Ross@wisconsin.gov by 11
a.m. January 23 to be included
in the report for the Natural
Resources Board meeting.
Fire
Continued from page 1
The fire at Misty Meadows
was just one day short of the
first anniversary of the fire that
destroyed Glenhaven’s new facility that was under construction.
That facility is currently being
rebuilt and is planned to open
sometime in mid-April of this
year. The Misty Meadows facility is located about four blocks
southeast of the Glenhaven Care
facility.
Heavy smoke from the fire
drifted northwest toward Holy
Cross Lutheran Church, Glenhaven, and residences in the six
hundred blocks of Oak, Pine and
Maple Streets.
Glenhaven
administration
monitored the situation after
staff reported a slight smell of
smoke but no evacuation was
needed and residents were never
in danger.
The cause of the fire is still undetermined.

Dunn Co. receives grant from
WI DOJ for Treatment Court
MENOMONIE — Dunn County
Criminal Justice Collaboration
Council (CJCC) is pleased
to announce the County has
received a $79,318 grant from the
State of Wisconsin Department
of Justice for Dunn County’s
Tr e a t m e n t C o u r t p r o g r a m .
Treatment Court is an intensive
court program designed to assist
with individualized recovery to
break the cycle of addiction and
crime. These funds will be used
to continue efforts to enhance
integrated treatment of substance
abuse and mental health services
for successful rehabilitation of
Treatment Court participants.
Treatment Court goals are to
improve community safety, reduce
crime, address specific participant
needs, and help foster a sober,
crime-free, healthy lifestyle. The
grant will be used to fund an
Integrated Treatment Specialist,
with expertise in substance abuse
and mental health, to support
participant engagement in
treatment, reduce mental health
symptoms, develop an enhanced
awareness of recovery, and provide
evidence-based services to improve
successful outcomes.
Dunn County Circuit Court
Judge Rod Smeltzer, one of
two judges that preside over
Treatment Court, says “early on
in the development of Treatment
Court we have taken the position
that often folks dealing with
addictive behaviors, whether that
be meth, alcohol, prescription
drugs or other substances, often
have mental health concerns that
have to be balanced for successful
treatment. If not for this grant,
our resources to address these
needs would be limited.”
County Board Chairman, Steve
Rasmussen added “more generally,
the mission of the CJCC is for all
stakeholders of the justice system
to collaborate with the goal of a
more effective, efficient system
to reduce recidivism resulting in
greater public safety.” Treatment
Court is one example of how
Dunn County is working together
to be smart on crime to reach
these goals with effective justice
strategies.
T h e S t a t e o f Wi s c o n s i n
Department of Justice awards
annual grants through a
competitive application and
review process.

TOWN OF ERIN PRAIRIE —
A Woodville woman became St.
Croix County’s first traffic fatality of the 2015 when the vehicle
she was driving was struck by a
truck at the intersection of County Roads G and T in the Town of
Erin Prairie.
54-year-old Deborah Merlin
Bugni of Woodville died at the
scene of the accident which happened at 7:26 p.m. on Tuesday,
January 13.
This intersection has been the
site of several accidents over the
years.
According to a report from the
St. Croix County Sheriff ’s Office,
Cody A. Stephenson, 27, of Lonsdale, MN was operating a 2003
Ford truck that was northbound
on County Highway T when he
failed to stop at the stop sign for
northbound traffic on County
Road T and entered the intersection where he collided with Deborah Merlin Bugni’s 2000 Cadillac
Eldorado that was traveling east
along County Road G.
Deborah Merlin Bugni, who
was wearing a seat belt at the
time of the crash, suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced
dead at the scene by the St. Croix
County Medial Examiner’s Office. Stephenson was transported
to Regions Hospital in St. Paul,
MN with non-life threatening injuries. The news release did not
state whether Stephenson had
been belted when the accident occurred.
The Sheriff ’s Office’s release
noted that there was evidence of
alcohol use by Cody Stephenson
and that it may have been a possible factor that contributed to
the crash.
New Richmond Fire and Ambulance Services, the New Richmond and Hammond Police
Departments and the St. Croix
County Medical Examiner’s Office all assisted at the scene and
in the crash investigation which
is still ongoing at this time.

Tiffany Creek Elementary students enjoy
free books through Book Trust Grant
By Kelsie Hoitomt
BOYCEVILLE — Since
September of 2014, Early
Childhood through Third Grade
s t u d e n t s a t Ti f f a n y C r e e k
Elementary have been receiving
$7 worth of free books from the
Scholastic Reading Club catalog
each month via the Book Trust.
Book Trust is connected to
t h e Wi s c o n s i n Te c h n o l o g y
Initiative (WTI) grant that the
school received for smartboards,
document cameras and other
technologies.
The grant via Book Trust runs
for one school year so students in
those grades will receive books
through May.
The way it works is each student
receives a Scholastic catalog like
they would usually, but now they
are able to go through and pick out
$7 worth of free books. The books
are theirs to keep and take home.
This could either be one book
or 2-3, depending on the price and
Glenwood City DECA bringing six students to state
By Kelsie Hoitomt
MENOMONIE — 13 Glenwood
City High School students
participated in the DECA Districts’
competition held in Menomonie at
the University of Wisconsin-Stout
on Saturday, January 10.
There were 660 students all
together with 23 events possible
to be participated in. Only the
top two advance to State, which
means out of 660 DECA members,
only 46 move on.
Each DECA chapter is however
allowed to take additional students
in a project. Role Play qualifiers
advance on from Districts, but the
projects are not judged until State.
The Glenwood City DECA
program continued to show
outstanding results despite that
slim figure considering they will
be bringing six out of their 13
competitors to State.
Nick Schone went to State
last year and he will be making
another trip after he placed first in
the Accounting Applications event.
Jake Hennessy is making
another appearance as well after
placing second in the Automotive
Services Marketing event. Jake
made it beyond State last year and
looks to make a repeat trip to the
International competition.

Schools qualify for Book Trust
in part based on the percentage of
students receiving free or reduced
lunch.
When a school is eligible for
the program, all students within
a participating class receive
books. TCE was one of five schools
selected for the grant this year.
The Book Trust was established
in 2001 and currently serves over
36,000 students in 15 states. To
date, the Book Trust has put over
3.5 million book in the hands and
homes of kids in need.
According to the Book Trust,
studies prove that book choice
and ownership are fundamental
in promoting literacy.
Children who are free to choose
what to read are more likely to
read and the number of books
in a home has the same impact
on a child’s level of educational
attainment as parental education
levels.

DAYS OF OLD
WATCH FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES
I must relate a concern of mine and that is: as drivers on the public
roads, we must give emergency vehicles the right of way so they can
get to their calls in a timely manner. To make the roads a safer place
for all, it is our responsibilty to be aware of what is going on around us.
At point is that last week, I, as a member of the local fire department,
was responding to an alarm in Hersey. I was in the front seat of the
engine company with red lights and siren working. But, only one vehicle
of the dozen or so that we met on our run, even made any attempt to
pull over to the side of the highway.
One fellow who was in front of us, pulling a cattle trailer, apparently
did not hear the siren and made no attempt to pull off the road, even as
the big yellow fire engine passed him, he continued without any idea
that he should yield the right of way. Luckily, we made it to the scene
of the fire without an incident.
The law requires us to pull into the other lane when a traffic police
have a stop. But I have been on the Interstate and noticed many times
that people do not give police officers any space and just zoom on by.
And, don’t forget the flashing red lights of the school bus when it has
stopped to pick up children.
While on the matter of vehicles, another concern is that of pedestrians
attempting to cross a busy street and vehicles not stopping to allow
them to cross the road.
I have seen this happen many times in Colfax with the busy highway
40 that cuts through the community. Stop and let the people cross the
road. It may save a life!
Be aware of your surroundings!

New St. Croix County recycling
specialist continues duties
by Megen Hines
Hello! My name is Megen Hines
and I am the new Recycling
Specialist in St. Croix County.
I’ve been on the job since October
in helping the recycling program
transition but have recently
fully taken over the duties of the
position. I grew up in rural Pierce
County and currently live with my
husband and son in Eau Claire.
I’ve earned bachelor’s degrees in
Meteorology from St. Cloud State
University and in Environmental
Science from UW-Stout.
While I’ve always been an avid
recycler, my motivation to work
in recycling as a career came
from an internship with Dunn
County Solid Waste during college.
This internship provided me indepth knowledge of the state’s
recycling laws, allowed me to
develop and implement a recycling
education program and meet a
lot of professionals within the
industry. My other professional
work comes from researching
wetlands and water quality in
the Chippewa Moraine State
Recreational Area while employed
at UW-Stout.
My goal is to help continue
the great recycling tradition in
St. Croix County and provide
convenient opportunities for
residents and businesses to
recycle a variety of items. I look
forward to meeting and working
with local residents, businesses,
civic organization and municipal
officials that have helped create
the excellent recycling culture in
St. Croix County. I am available
to speak about recycling for school
groups, meetings, youth groups or
any other gathering. Please feel
free to contact me at 715-531-1907
or email me at megen.hines@

Tax relief remains priority
A Column of Personal Opinion
by State Senator Sheila Harsdorf
As we look forward to the 201516 legislative session, continuing
to reduce the tax burden on
Wisconsin residents remains a
top priority. In the last legislative
session, we were successful in
making significant progress in
again reducing property taxes for
homeowners and small businesses.
As I travel the district and hear
from area residents, property
taxes continue to be the most
frustrating and burdensome issue
for seniors, working families, and
small businesses.
Due to the State Legislature’s
efforts to invest in property tax
relief last session, Wisconsin
property owners received a welcome
reduction in their recent property
tax bills. While the experiences of
individual property taxpayers may
vary due to changes in property
assessments or local factors, such
as approved referendums, the
owner of a median-valued home in
Wisconsin is expected to see a $100
drop in their 2014 tax bill.
This property tax reduction is
the result of over $400 million
in surplus revenue that the
State Legislature and Governor
committed to buying down the
technical college levy as part of
last spring’s tax relief measure.
I have long supported efforts to
reduce the impact of technical
colleges on our property tax bills,
including authoring legislation
in prior sessions that would shift
greater responsibility for technical
college funding to the state. Given
my position on this issue, I was
pleased to work with my colleagues
to enact this property tax relief.
In our area, it is estimated
that a typical homeowner in the
Wisconsin Indianhead Technical
College District will see $124 in
savings, while a typical homeowner
in the Chippewa Valley Technical
College District will see $115
in savings. Over $45 million in
state revenues were committed to
reducing the property taxes levied
by these two technical college
districts alone.
This property tax relief built
upon our previous work to hold the
line on property taxes, which has
resulted in a lower property tax
bill in 2014 than in 2010 for the
owner of a median-valued home in
our state. By comparison, under
the prior administration, property
taxes rose $230 on the same
median-valued home between
2006 and 2010. If the trend
of property tax increases seen
during the 2006-2010 timeframe
was maintained, property taxes
on a typical homeowner would be
nearly $400 higher than they are
today.
I look forward to continuing to
work with my colleagues to hold
the line on property taxes and
find ways to bring further relief
to taxpayers. Please stay in touch
by visiting my website at www.
harsdorfsenate.com or calling my
office at 1-800-862-1092 or 608266-7745.
Judge finds probable cause in arson, attempted murder cases
By LeAnn R. Ralph
MENOMONIE — A Dunn
County judge has found probable
cause in two cases related to an
arson involving a house in Colfax,
attempted murder and recklessly
endangering safety.
Following a preliminary hearing
January 15, Judge Rod Smeltzer
found probable cause and bound
over for trial the defendant, Beth
Mittelstadt, 44.
Judge Smeltzer set an
arraignment hearing for
Mittelstadt February 3.
Mittelstadt, who appeared
in court with her attorney, Dan
Chapman, is charged with one
felony count of arson related to
a fire at 511 East Third Avenue
in Colfax last May. She also is
charged with one felony count of
first degree attempted murder and
two felony counts of first degree
recklessly endangering safety
related to an incident in December
during which Mittelstadt allegedly
threatened Colfax Police Chief Bill
Anderson with a machete.
Police Chief Anderson drew his
duty weapon and shot Mittelstadt
one time in the upper torso.
Matt Feeney, an investigator
with the Dunn County Sheriff ’s
Department, testified at the
preliminary hearing that the fire
which started the evening of May
24, 2014, in the house on Third
Avenue where Katie Bundy and
her children lived had started in
the bedroom between the bed and
the dresser.
No one was home at the time
of the fire.
Mittelstadt told Feeney she
had gone to Bundy’s house to buy
methamphetamine and had given
Bundy $40 or $50 for the meth.
Mittelstadt said she had tried
to call Bundy numerous times that
evening, but Bundy did not come
back with the methamphetamine.
Feeney said Mittelstadt told
him she had been upset by Bundy’s
absence, that she broke some
things in the house and that she
had hit a window with her fist.
Chapman asked if Feeney,
who is the sheriff department’s
fire investigator, knew what had
started the fire.
Feeney said that although
they could tell where the fire had
started, there was no way to tell
what had started the fire.
Chapman asked if it was
possible something had fallen to
the floor, such as a candle.
Feeney noted there was no
one home at the time, so nothing
should have been burning to fall
to the floor.
Shooting
D e a n F a y e r w e a t h e r, a n
investigator with the St. Croix
County Sheriff ’s Department,
testified that he had been one of
the officers assigned to investigate
the officer-involved shooting in
Colfax on December 18.
Colfax Police Chief Bill
Anderson had told Fayerweather
Mittelstadt had come at him with
a machete and that Police Chief
Anderson had drawn his service
weapon and had shot Mittelstadt
to stop the threat, Investigator
Fayerweather said.
Investigator Fayerweather
described the machete as being
two feet long with a large blade, a
short handle, and of the type “used
to chop brush.”
Dunn County Sergeant Todd
Kurtzhals, who had used his Taser
on Mittelstadt three times while
trying to take her into custody,
told Fayerweather Mittelstadt
had thrown the machete at him,
and he believed his safety was
endangered.
Sergeant Kurtzhals said if he
had not had a Taser, he would have
shot Mittelstadt with his service
weapon because “the threat was
there,” Investigator Fayerweather
testified.
Investigator Fayerweather also
testified he had found holes in
the walls in the bedroom where
Mittelstadt had allegedly stabbed
the walls with the machete and
that the inside doorknob had been
“chopped off” when Mittelstadt
swung the machete at Police Chief
Anderson.
The entrance wound for the
bullet was in Mittelstadt’s left
breast, and medical staff made
an incision in her right breast to
remove the bullet, Investigator
Fayerweather testified.
Sergeant Kurtzhals had told
Fayerweather that Mittelstadt
had been down on the floor when
he arrived. Mittelstadt still had
the machete in her hand and had
raised herself up on one arm and
threw the machete with her other

use of the Taser and Mittelstadt’s

Mittelstadt charged with felony
possession of methamphetamine
By LeAnn R. Ralph
C O L FA X — T h e o t h e r
occupant of an apartment at
601 ½ Main Street in Colfax
where an officer-involved shooting
occurred December 18 has been
charged with felony possession of
methamphetamine.
Dennis K. Mittelstadt, 47, made
an initial appearance in Dunn
County Circuit Court January 13.
In addition to felony possession
of methamphetamine, Mittelstadt
is charged with misdemeanor
counts of possessing drug
paraphernalia and bail jumping.
Mittelstadt was charged in
connection with the incident in
which 44-year-old Beth Mittelstadt
was shot by Colfax Police Chief
Bill Anderson when she came at
him with a machete.
The afternoon of December 18,
officers obtained a search warrant
for the apartment and discovered
the methamphetamine and the
drug paraphernalia.
In the past, Dennis Mittelstadt
had been charged with obstructing
an officer in connection with
an incident that occurred in
September of 2013. At the time,
Mittelstadt lived in Boyceville.
Judge William Stewart approved
a deferred prosecution agreement
in that case in November of 2013.
Mittelstadt appeared in Dunn
County Circuit Court December
1, 2014, in connection with the
deferred prosecution agreement.
Assistant District Attorney
Andrew Maki told the court that
Mittelstadt had not yet completed
his community service, and
Judge Rod Smeltzer granted an
additional 90 days for Mittelstadt
to complete the community service.
The misdemeanor bail jumping
charge is connected to Mittelstadt’s
failure to fulfill the deferred
prosecution agreement from the
previous case of obstructing an
officer.
In the methamphetamine and
drug paraphernalia case, Judge
Smeltzer set bail with a $1,000
signature bond December 19.
Mittelstadt’s next court hearing
is scheduled for April 7.

New testing explained to Boyceville School Board
BOYCEVILLE — The school
board listened to a report from
Middle/High School Principal
Steve Glocke about the new
student testing called “ACT
Aspire.” He presented a slide show
of how students in the high school
compare to the National Average
in five different classes.
The new testing will allow the
school to see where students are,
either at or above the benchmark
and those who are close to it and
those who need support.
Glocke told the board that
freshmen will have to take the
test twice in their first year of high
school, once in the fall and then
again in the spring. Sophomores
will be required to take the test
in the spring. He noted that on
March 3rd every junior in the
state will be taking the test, and
on March 4th they will take a
“Work Key test.”
Glocke also informed the
board that the WIAA Regional
Wrestling Tournament will be held
in Boyceville on February 14.
Elementary Principal Nick
Kaiser told the board that they
have started on the 2015-16 school
calendar. He also noted that the
students have started a school
store. “Mostly, with school supply
items,” he said.
Kaiser said that the band
“Reverse Order” would perform at
the school on Wednesday morning
at 9 a.m. with a theme addressing
the issue of bullying. He invited
anyone interested to attend.
Kaiser also noted that the
past week was National Crossing
Guard Week and that the guards
were invited into the school
for coffee last week. His report
indicated that the crossing guards
are: Ray Cherney, Dennis Minter,
Vicki Johnson, Alicia and Bruce
Skinner, and Doug and Shari
Hellendrung.
District Superintendent Kevin
Sipple addressed the board about
the two days that there was no
school because of bad weather.
He noted that school policy states
that the school will have make-up
days on the second and fourth and
beyond. Sipple told the board that
the first make up day would be
Friday, June 5th.
Sipple noted to the board that
the Dunn-St. Croix Conference
Superintendents met and
approved allowing St. Croix
Central to leave the conference
and have Durand come in. WIAA
will need to approve the change,
he said.
Sipple also addressed the work
of lawmakers in Madison. In
his report, Sipple said, “State
Superintendent Dr. Tony Evers
and Dr. Michael Thompson
provided updates on Federal
and State initiatives at our
CESA 11 meeting last week.
They encouraged anyone who is
supportive of public education to
be very aware of legislative work.”
Sipple continued, “We need to
keep an eye on what is going on
down there at Madison.”
B o n n i e B a k e r, D i r e c t o r
of Special Education/School
Psychologist reported to the
school board saying, “that C.
Kristen Henningfeld, Suzanne
Carlson and Nancy Anderson
completed training so that they
could administer the Dynamic
Learning Maps to several of our
cognitively impaired students.”
She also touched on the Civil
Rights Data Collection survey
noting that the survey is a federal
data survey, which is mandatory
for all public school/local education
agencies in the United States.
Baker noted that the survey was
done once every ten years but now
it will be annually. “We are doing a
term approach with our students,”
she told the board.
In other action the board
approved the retirement request
from Science Teacher Steward
Skrove. Board President Gail
Stark praised him for his 29
years with the Boyceville School
District.
The board also accepted
three grants. One from the Ann
Marie Foundation for $1,900
for the Wright Group Reading
Intervention program at the
Elementary school, and other from
Ann Marie for $838 to be used
for noise blocking headphones
and a Carl Perkins Mini-Grant
for $1,905 for Virtual Business
Management Software for the
accounting class.
92,398 people in WI selected 2015 Marketplace
plans in the first month of open enrollment
According to a report
released on December 30 by
the Department of Health and
Human Services, 92,398 people in
Wisconsin selected plans through
the Health Insurance Marketplace
leading up to the December 15
deadline for coverage beginning
Jan. 1, 2015. About 90 percent
of Wisconsinites who selected
health insurance plans in the first
month of open enrollment were
determined eligible for financial
assistance to lower their monthly
premiums, compared to 88 percent
who selected plans over a similar
period last year. Of the 92,398
Wisconsinites who selected a
plan, 58 percent reenrolled in a
Marketplace plan in 2015 and
42 percent signed up for the first
time.
The December 30 report
provides the first detailed
analysis of enrollment in the
Marketplaces for the first month
of the 2015 open enrollment
period. Because the automatic
reenrollment process for the 37
states using the HealthCare.gov
platform (including Wisconsin)
began on December 16 and was
completed for the vast majority
of consumers on December 18,
the December 30 report with
data through December 15 does
not fully capture the number of
people who selected plans leading
up to the deadline for Jan. 1, 2015
coverage.
“ We ’ r e p l e a s e d t h a t i n
Wisconsin 92,398 people signed
up for Marketplace coverage
during the first month of open
enrollment. The vast majority
were able to lower their costs even
further by getting tax credits,
making a difference in the bottom
lines of so many families,” HHS
Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell said.
“Interest in the Marketplace has
been strong during the first month
of open enrollment. We still have
a ways to go and a lot of work to
do before February 15, but this is
an encouraging start.”
Nationwide, more than 4
million people signed up for the
first time or reenrolled in coverage
for 2015 during the first month of
open enrollment. That includes
more than 3.4 million people who
selected a plan in the 37 states
that are using the HealthCare.
gov platform for 2015 (including
Wisc on sin ), a nd m ore t ha n
600,000 consumers who selected
plans in the 14 states that are
operating their own Marketplace
platform for 2015.
HHS also released a Weekly
Enrollment Snapshot that
captures more recent enrollment
activity in the Marketplace.
The Weekly Snapshot shows
that from November 15 to
December 26, nearly 6.5 million
consumers selected a plan or were
automatically reenrolled.
Open Enrollment in the
Marketplace runs from Nov.
15, 2014, through Feb. 15,
2015. Consumers should visit
HealthCare.gov to review and
compare health plan options.
Consumers shopping for health
insurance coverage should sign
up by Jan. 15, 2015, in order to
have coverage effective on Feb.
1, 2015. If consumers who were
automatically reenrolled decide
in the coming weeks that a better
plan exists for their families, they
can make that change at any time
before the end of open enrollment
on February 15.
Consumers can find local help
at: Localhelp.healthcare.gov/.
Or call the Federally-facilitated
Marketplace Call Center at 1-800318-2596. TTY users should call
1-855- 889-4325. Translation
services are available. The call
is free.
The information contained in
the December 30 report provides
the most systematic summary of
enrollment-related activity in the
Marketplaces to date. Data for
the various metrics are counted
using comparable definitions for
data elements across states and
Marketplace types.

Barn building material has ties
to Glenwood lumbering days
Jim McNamara, who operated the family farm
in Section Two of the Town of Emerald, stopped in
the office recently and talked about the barn on the
farm that was constructed back in 1923. The 36 X
80 foot barn was a replacement for a barn that was
destroyed by a tornado.
The picture above is of the construction of the
barn. Jim noted that the farm will becoming a
century farm very soon with his family having farmed
it for a hundred years.
But what is the interesting part of the barn is
that the lumber that was used in the building of the
new barn has ties to people who worked during the
lumber days of Glenwood City.
In our December 31st issue we carried a front-page
St. Croix County offering free radon test kits
In an effort to get more homes
tested, St. Croix County Public
Health Department is offering
a free short term radon test kit
to owners of St. Croix County
homes that have never been
tested before. The free test kit is
available to the homeowner who
comes to a St. Croix County office
to pick up the kit. There will be
an informational form to fill out
identifying the home that has not
been tested. If you are retesting
your St. Croix County home, a
short term radon test kit can be
purchased for $5.00. These offers
are good until February 28, 2015.
Radon is a naturally occurring,
invisible, odorless gas that is
harmlessly dispersed in outdoor
air, but when trapped in buildings,
can be harmful at elevated levels.
The National Academy of Sciences
(NAS) reported that radon is
the second leading cause of lung
cancer in the U.S. and that it is a
serious public health problem. The
NAS concluded that radon causes
between 15,000 and 22,000 lung
cancer deaths each year, about one
third of them preventable. Testing
homes for elevated levels of radon
is simple and inexpensive. If
discovered, radon problems can
Project expected to be a catalyst to city’s downtown redevelopment plans
$500,000 State Grant Will Help Expand Food Co-op in Menomonie
MADISON – The Wisconsin
Economic Development
Corporation (WEDC) has awarded
a $500,000 grant to the City
of Menomonie to help expand
a downtown food market—a
project expected to create new
jobs and play a key role in the
redevelopment of downtown.
The Community Development
Investment Grant will fill the
remaining gap in the $3.9 million
expansion and relocation project
that will more than quadruple
the retail space at the Menomonie
Market Food Co-op. The project
will create 25 new jobs at the city’s
only downtown grocery store.
“A strong downtown is vital to
the overall economic health of a
community, and the Community
Development Investment Grant
Program is helping communities
all over the state revitalize their
business districts,” said Lt.
Governor Rebecca Kleefisch, who
announced the grant at the Dunn
County Economic Development
Corporation’s annual banquet.
“Not only will this grant directly
benefit those who live and work in
the area, but a vibrant downtown
will help other Dunn County
businesses recruit and retain
quality employees.”
“The City of Menomonie is
pleased to have the support of the
WEDC grant for the Menomonie
Market Food Co-op and Farmer’s
Market projects,” said Mayor
Randy Knaack. “The impact this
will have on our community is great
by supporting a community need,
creating jobs and improving our
tax base. This improvement will
initiate an economic development
reaction that will affect multiple
businesses within the area in
a positive way, continuing the
positive growth in our community.”
Crystal Halvorson, general
manager of the Menomonie
Market Food Co-op, added: “We
are thrilled to learn that the City of
Menomonie has been awarded this
grant. For Menomonie Market, it
means we can build the grocery
store that our owners need, and
be ready to do even more work
to meet our goals of a thriving,
healthy community as soon as we
are open. Restoring the farmer’s
market to our downtown and
building a permanent structure
that can accommodate all sorts
of functions is a great way for the
city to invest in our community.”
WEDC’s Community
Development Investment Grant
Program supports community
development and redevelopment
efforts—primarily in downtown
areas—throughout the state.
Since its inception in 2013, the
program has provided more
than $5.8 million in grants to 39
communities.
The City of Menomonie is one
of seven communities awarded
a grant out of 32 applications
received from the throughout
the state in this round of
funding. Communities were
selected based on the ability to
demonstrate the economic impact
of the proposed project, including
public and private partnership
development, financial need, and
use of sustainable downtown
development practices.
WEDC will hold two additional
competitions for funding this year
with application deadlines of Jan.
30 and April 17.
“Since its inception, WEDC’s
Community Development
Investment Grant Program has
provided $6.7 million in funding
to 38 communities in every part
of the state,” said Reed Hall,
secretary and CEO of WEDC, the
story, which was a letter written by Fred Raffelson
in 1966. Fred lived as a youngster in Glenwood
during the lumber years and his letter was about
that time. In one part of the letter he relates that
as the timber was exhausted here, the equipment of
the Glenwood Manufacturing Company was moved
to Bonner’s Ferry, Idaho. He told about those people
from Glenwood that accompanied that move and then
those that moved on to Everett, Washington to work
in lumber business there.
Well, the rest of the story is: that the lumber to
build the new barn on the McNamara farm came
from Everett, Washington where those workers from
Glenwood had settled. Jim stated that the cost of the
materials was $900.
state’s lead economic development
agency. “We are pleased to assist
Menomonie with a project that
will pay dividends for the entire
community.”
Menomonie Market Food Coop, which was established in
1973, has outgrown its current
location and was having difficulty
finding the space it needed to grow
downtown. The state grant, along
with $386,000 in funding provided
by the city, will enable the co-op
to demolish a building that is
owned by Dunn County. A new
13,000-square-foot building will
include a community classroom,
expanded product lines, and a
largely expanded deli serving
breakfast, lunch and dinner. There
will be more space for produce
and meat, which will provide
more opportunities for local food
vendors to sell their product.
As part of the project,
Menomonie Farmers Market,
which had been located nine
blocks east of downtown, will be
relocated to a permanent plaza
near the co-op and an underused
city park.
The expanded Menomonie
Market will be key to the
redevelopment and continued
economic development plan
for downtown Menomonie and
the surrounding area. The
enhancements have already helped
to initiate other developments,
such as a $6 million mixed-use
development, a $3 million drug
store and a $2 million dental office
complex. City and state officials
say those developments will not
only increase the tax base, but will
make downtown more attractive to
additional development.

Lady Bulldogs down Cardinals to earn fifth straight conference win
By Kelsie Hoitomt
With the loss to the Cameron
Comets on January 5, the Lady
Bulldogs have won six out of their
last seven games with the most
recent against Turtle Lake last
Friday.
They also won their fifth
straight conference game on
Tuesday, January 13 at home
against Spring Valley.
51-42 victory at home
The Cardinals were dead last in
the conference with their record at
0-8 after losing to the Lady Dogs.
Despite that, they actually played
completely in stride with the
Bulldogs through two quarters.
The score was tied in the first
half after both teams posted ten
points in the first quarter then 12
points in the second.
Morgan Kuhn put up the first
three for the Bulldogs. Cassie
Malean also scored three points
in the first by a double and a free

throw. Lexi Peterson and Brooklyn
Hellmann each had a double.
Malean’s shots in the first
warmed her up just enough that
she went off on a tear in the second
quarter. She was fouled to start
and scored one basket. Then she
drained a three and backed that
up with a double.
Peterson dropped a three in as
well and Kuhn drove in a shot for
two. Madysn Riek was fouled on
a shot attempt and made one of
her baskets.
Jolene Bird was vocal from the
sidelines about the girls moving
their feet more and their response
to the coach’s request resulted in
a very well played third quarter.
They posted 20 points against
the Cardinal’s nine, which was the
game changer that brought the
Bulldogs their nine point victory.
Riek has been a solid figure on
the court throughout the season
for the Bulldogs with her strong
statue, but this was her breakout
performance.
She hit the foul shot in the
second and then took real control
of the ball in the third. She drained
a triple and then a double before
being fouled. She scored three
out of three of her shots and then
ended the quarter with another
double.
The other ten points came from
two doubles by Hellmann, a jump
shot from Shyanne Marlett, and
baskets from Kuhn and Malean.
The final eight minutes of the
game had the Bulldogs scoring
11 points with Kuhn leading the
court with five.
She was covered by defenders,
but took a step and drove up
and in for the first basket of the
quarter. She followed that up with
a three, which gave the Bulldogs
some cushion in their score as
the Cardinals had brought their
deficit down to four points.
Riek scored a double and then
Malean was fouled with 31 seconds
left to play. She made both her
shots for the Bulldogs final points
of the game.

Bulldog boys upset Mondovi for first conference win
By Kelsie Hoitomt
The Boyceville boys basketball
team earned their first DunnSt. Croix Conference “W” after
upsetting the Mondovi Buffaloes
51-39 last Thursday, January 15.
That win was just what they
needed for a morale boost after
losing to Turtle Lake two days
before 40-38.
After the Bulldogs’ game in
Mondovi, they were on the road
again Saturday with a trip to
Elmwood that ended in a one point
loss of 44-43 to the Elmwood/Plum

by the half and 28-18 going into
the fourth.
Their ten point lead changed
when out of no where, it seemed,
the Lakers went off on offense and
scored 22 points to the Bulldogs’
ten.
The Lakers offense scored four
triples, four doubles and two free
throws for their two point victory
of 40-38.
Scoring wise, the Bulldogs
started off with four doubles in the
first quarter by Hunter Anderson,
Jake McIntyre and Brett Boda;
Anderson also had a free throw.
Then in the second quarter,
Sam Hellmann had two doubles
and a free throw and then Justin
Schulz dropped one in for their
seven points.
Out of the half time break,
Brady Schutts and Hellmann each
drove in two buckets and Schulz
and Anderson each had one for a
total of 12 team points.
The game ended with the
Bulldogs scoring three doubles;
two from Schulz and one free
throw, one from Hellmann and
then three free throws from
Schutts.
Hellmann led the team in points
with 11 from his five doubles and
one free throw. Then it was Schulz
with nine from four doubles and
one free throw.
Schutts finished with six,
Anderson had five, McIntyre had
four and Boda had two.
Buffaloes taste defeat
The Bulldogs played a solid
three quarters of basketball in
Mondovi, but had one bad run in
the second quarter.
Thankfully, it happened in the
middle of the game and not at the
end so they were able to recover
nicely and take the win.
The first quarter of the game
had the Bulldogs on top 16-10. The
second quarter was a flop with just
six points posted to the Buffaloes’
12, which put the score at 22-22
going into the half.
Schutts was hot on the court
with three doubles and two free
throws. McIntyre also started off
strong with two doubles and two
free throws of his own. Anderson
also knocked in one double.
In the second, it was a basket
each from McIntyre, Mitch Leach
and Schutts that gave the Bulldogs
their six team points before the
half.
Out of the break, the score yoyo’d back into the Bulldog’s favor
after Mondovi had their one bad
quarter. The Bulldogs scored 13
points to Mondovi’s six for a 35-28
lead after the third.
The Bulldogs were aggressive
under the net with six shots
pushed up and in for 12 points
and then Schutts had a single
free throw.
The game ended with Leach
finishing strong for his team with
three out of four free throws scored
along with three doubles. Schutts
had one double as well and then
McIntyre, Anderson and Boda
scored free throws.
Leach and Schutts shared the
title of points leader for that game
with 15 from both of them. Schutts
had six doubles and was three for
three from the line. Leach also had
six doubles and was three for four
from the line.
McIntyre followed with ten
from his three doubles and he
was four out of five from the line.
Anderson had two doubles and
two free throws for six. Boda had
one double and one free throw and
Schulz had one double.
Bitter one point loss
The Bulldogs’ loss to the Wolves
left a bitter taste in their mouth
after being defeated by just one
point 44-43.
The Bulldogs attempted to
redeem themselves with a game
Tuesday night at home against
Central. That was the first of a four
game home stretch with Friday’s
game against Spring Valley and
then Saturday they will host
Stanley-Boyd.
Pin gives BV wrestlers 1-point win over EC North
BOYCEVILLE — The power
of the pin.
Boyceville used it to claim a
thrilling, come-from-behind, onepoint win over Eau Claire North
in a non-conference home wrestling dual Tuesday, January 13.
Trailing by five points heading
into the final match of the evening, one that featured the Bulldogs’ state-ranked senior Austin
Wolfe, Boyceville needed nothing
less than a pin if it was to prevail.
Eau Claire North had already
won eight of the 14 matches so a
tie would have given the Huskies
the team victory on tie-breaking
criteria (number of matches won).
Boyceville needed a pin.
And that is just what Wolfe delivered.
It took him just 58 seconds to
put Eau Claire North’s Efrain
Sueldo on the mat for six points
and a thrilling Boyceville victory,
31-30.
The Bulldogs took the early
advantage with wins in two of the
first three matches.
Boyceville sophomore James
Palmer opened the dual with a
close 2-0 decision over Tyler Deacon at 120 pounds.
North tied the dual with a 7-5
win at 126.
Tyler Stroo came through with
the first of the Bulldogs’ three
pins on the night as he stuck
North’s Josh Schneider to give
Boyceville a 9-3 lead.
The Huskies, however, won
the next four matches including
one by fall and another by major
decision to vault to 19-9 advantage.
Garrett Joles would snap the
North run with a much needed
pin at 170 pounds.
Logan McAbee-Thomas, making a return to the lineup for the
first time since an injury sidelined him during the Northern
Badger, won on a disqualification
at 182 pounds. North’s Hunter
Dahlby was leading 12-2 when
a penalty was called and he was
disqualified. It was a turn-ofevents that proved to be a key in
the Bulldogs’ win and gave them
a temporary 21-19 lead.
North would score a major
decision at 195 and a decision at
220 to take a 26-21 lead.
Brandon Windsor would close
the Boyceville deficit to one point
with a 9-1 major decision over
Jake Carruth at 285 pounds.
But Mason Phillips of North
turned the tables at 106 pounds
and delivered a 13-5 major decision to up the Husky lead to 3025 with one match to go.
That is when Wolfe stepped on
the mat and needed less than a
minute to give Boyceville an exciting 31-30 win via pin.
The Bulldogs return to action
this Thursday, January 22 after
an eight-day break. Boyceville
will host Mondovi in a conference dual at 7 p.m. The squad
will then travel to St. Croix Falls
on Saturday for an invitational
meet.
Glenwood City will come to
town for the annual showdown
on Thursday, January 29.
ball down to their net, but Abbey
Bird quickly snatched it away and
held onto it until the buzzer rang.
Malean and Riek tied in points
scored with 13 each. Malean had
three doubles, one triple and was
four for six from the line. Riek had
also had three doubles and one
triple and she finished with four
out of five free throws made.
Kuhn followed with 12 points
of her own from her three doubles
and two triples. Hellmann had six
from her three doubles. Peterson
had five from one double and one
triple and Marlett had her one
double.
Lakers pawed away
There were more fouls called
and free throws taken than normal
shots in the Bulldogs game against
Turtle Lake.
Right from the start there
was foul trouble with three calls
against the Lakers that put Riek
on the line for a total of five
attempts. She made three baskets
as well as a two-point shot for
five out of Bulldogs’ 15 points in
the first.
The Bulldogs were in the same
boat with unnecessary fouls
called against them so early in
the contest. The Lakers scored
13 points with four of them
free throws; eight shots were
attempted overall.
The Bulldogs paced their way
through the first half with shots
from Marlett, Kuhn and Riek.
Marlett had three doubles, Kuhn
had a triple and one double and
Riek had one double.
Out of the half, the Bulldogs’
offense took a bit of a nose dive
with just five points scored, which
put them ahead by just four points
after the third.
The score was 33-29 going
into the final eight minutes. The
Bulldogs were able to hold the
Lakers away from the basket
except for two shots, which gave
them four points overall.
The Bulldogs themselves made
six shots, which included three
free throws from Malean, one free
throw and one double from Riek
and one double from Hellmann.
The Bulldogs were seven for 18
from the free throw line with four
out of ten shots made by Riek.
She led the team in points with
ten with three doubles also added.
Hellmann and Marlett followed
with eight each; Brooklyn drained
two three’s and had one double
and Shyanne had four doubles.
Malean finished with seven
points from her two doubles and
three free throw. Kuhn had one
double and one triple for five and
Abbey Bird made one triple at the
start of the game.
Next on the schedule for the
Boyceville girls is a road trip to
Colfax this Thursday, January
22. They will then play at home
on Saturday (Jan. 24) against
Stanley-Boyd at 5:00 p.m.
They are back at home Tuesday
(Jan. 27) as well for a conference
contest against the number two
team, Elk Mound.

Blackhawk skaters go 3-0 on the week
By Brian Nadeau
Throughout the season, in any
sport, there are highs and lows,
and critical moments that may not
seem that way when they occur.
The Blackhawk hockey team
may have just completed a stretch
that fits that description and
answered any questions there may
have been about their resiliency.
The week began with the
Blackhawks traveling to Somerset
and taking the ice for the first
time after a lopsided loss to New
Richmond. The Blackhawks
needed to right the ship quickly
and move forward.
The game started with Somerset
notching the first two goals of the
game, the first a minute in, and
it did not look good early for the
Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks generated
pressure in the Somerset zone
near the end of the first period,
and that appeared to carry over.
Coming out after the first
intermission and facing a 2-0
deficit, the Blackhawks answered
immediately when Mitchell
Hurtgen scored at 0:23 with assists
going to Landon Albrightson and
Cole Stevens.
The Spartans wasted little
time, scoring the next two goals
in less than three minutes, to
stretch the lead to 4-1. Luke
Meyer struck next, scoring at
5:37 with assists going to Gavin
Hessler and Brandon Connett.
The Spartans were then
assessed a five-minute major
penalty, followed by a minor
penalty and the Hawks were
skating 5-on-3. Albrightson scored
to cut the deficit to 4-3. Assisting
on the goal were Hurtgen and
Connett.
Late in the second period the
Spartans scored an unassisted goal
to make it 5-3 and the Blackhawks
had their work cut out for them in
the final frame. In the third, both
teams exchanged pressure, and it
appeared the goal-scoring flurry
had ended, but that was only true
for one team.
At 7:38, Albrightson scored
from Connett and Hurtgen
making it a one-goal deficit once
more. Twelve seconds later, a fresh
line knotted the game at 5-5 with
Mitchell Larson scoring, assisted
by Gavin Hessler and Luke Meyer.
The Blackhawks went on the
power play shortly thereafter,
and despite not connecting, the
pressure created by the Hawks
in the Somerset zone remained
steady, and at 12:32, Brandon
Connett scored with an assist
t o Tu c k e r N a u s s , a n d t h e
Blackhawks took their first lead
of the game 6-5.
After a Somerset timeout, and
a 6-on-5 attack from the Spartans
with an empty net, Hessler was
able to put the icing on the cake
7-5 with the empty-netter at
16:36.
Next up for the Blackhawks
was the Siren Co-op, which is a
Middle Border Conference matchup as well. After surrendering a
goal a minute and a half into the
game, the Blackhawks reeled off
the next four goals, racing out to
a 4-1 lead.
Albrightson scored first to
tie the game at 1-1, assisted by
Hurtgen. Albrightson then struck
again unassisted to take the lead
2-1.
Larson made it 3-1 with an
assist to Hessler, and then the
power play unit led by Meyer
made it 4-1 with assists being
credited to Hessler and Larson.
The Blizzard were able to notch
one more goal in the first period,
and it ended with the Blackhawks
up 4-2. A minute and a half into
the second period, Albrightson
completed his hat trick making it
5-2 with assists to Hurtgen and
Connett.
The Blizzard then went on the
attack scoring on the power play
and then even-strength to make it
5-4 in favor of the Hawks.
Late in the second, the
Blackhawks were able to capitalize
on the power play with Connett
scoring assisted by Meyer.
That lead was short-lived as
the Blizzard answered thirteen
seconds later, making it 6-5.
For the second game in a row,
the third period belonged to the
Blackhawks.
Hessler scored at 9:04 to make
it 7-5 and was assisted by Connett
and Meyer. Larson then closed
out the scoring at 11:10 assisted
by Hessler, and the Blackhawks
moved to 4-3 in MBC action with
the 8-5 victory.
Rounding out the week, the
Blackhawks traveled to West
St. Paul to take on the Warriors
of Sibley High School in a nonconference battle.
The Warriors struck first and
controlled the opening period,
leading 2-0 after the first. At
10:56 of the second, Albrightson
continued his torrid pace of late
with a goal, making it 2-1. Meyer
and Hessler assisted on the goal.
After a Sibley score, making
it 3-1, the Blackhawks answered
with two of their own, tying the
game at 3-3 after two periods
of play. Albrightson netted the
second goal with an assist to
Connett, and then defenseman
Leo Rasmussen scored on a laser
from the point, assisted by Connett
and Albrightson.
The Blackhawks took their first
lead of the game at 10:30 of the
third when Meyer scored to make
it 4-3. Assisting on the goal were
Albrightson and Connett. Sibley
answered two minutes later and
the game was back to even with
4:11 to play.
The Blackhawks wasted little
time reclaiming the lead, when
Hurtgen scored 25 seconds later,
assisted by Nauss and Albrightson.
Again the Blackhawks had
to fend off the extra attacker, as
Sibley pulled their goalie and the
pressure was on in the Hawks’
zone.
Albrightson was able to get
the puck on his stick as time was
winding down, and lofted the puck
over the Sibley defense, all the
way to the other end, and into
the net for his second hat trick of
the week, and a 7-5 final. Connett
was credited with an assist on the
final tally.
The three-game sweep moves
the Blackhawks to 11-6 overall,
and 4-3 in the Middle Border
Conference. The Blackhawks
continue action next week with
3-game homestand with Amery,
Altoona, and Regis/McDonnell.

Glenwood girls finish 2-0 on court after two week break from play
By Kelsie Hoitomt
The Glenwood City girls
basketball team was resting at
third overall in the Dunn-St. Croix
Conference with a 5-3 record after
beating Mondovi last Friday night
37-32.
The Toppers went two weeks
without playing a game going into
Friday's contest. They were at
home then on Monday night for a
double-header with the boys' team
against Prairie Farm.

been a blow out when one looks
at Mondovi's record and sees that
they are 1-7 in the conference with
13 total losses on their overall
record.
The Toppers seemed to have
played down to Mondovi's level
and nearly lost the game after
leading 10-7 after the first, then
trailing 14-12 at the half and then
the score was tied at 24s going into
the final quarter.
The Toppers were able to keep
control of the ball in the fourth
quarter, which forced Mondovi
to foul and put their opponent on
the line.
Key free throws were made
as well as two doubles from
Maya Petersen, one from Moriah
Kuehndorf and Jen Kopacz that
were enough to put the Toppers
ahead for the win.
As a team the Toppers made 12
doubles, one triple and were just
10 of 23 from the foul line.
Kopacz and Kuehndorf led
in points with nine each; Jen
made three doubles and three
free throws and Moriah had two
doubles, one triple and two free
throws.
Petersen followed with eight
from three doubles and two free
throws. Gabby Peterson finished
with five from two doubles and one
free throw. Megan Samens had
one double and two free throws
and then Jenesa Klinger made
one double.
Prairie Farm visits and loses
The Panthers were 5-5 overall
this season, but just 1-4 in their
Lakeland-Central conference.
They played like they had only
won one game this season against
the Toppers as they trailed 22-8
near the middle of the second
quarter. The scoreboard read 2412 at the halftime buzzer.
The Toppers jumped out to an
early lead with 15 points scored in
the first quarter alone. Petersen
was active under the net with
three doubles, Peterson, Klinger
and Kadinger each drove in one
and then Kuehndorf landed a
three.
The second quarter they
struggled some on rebounds,
which put the ball in the hands
of the Panthers more than the
previous quarter.
The girls posted nine points
to Prairie Farm's eight with a
three by Klinger, a double from
Kadinger and Peterson and free
throws by Kuehndorf.
The Toppers were a yo-yo on
offense with the 15 initial points,
then they dropped to nine, then in
the third quarter they came out
swinging with 17 points, but in
the fourth they scored just eight
points on four baskets.
Despite their own inconsistency,
they still held a solid lead over the
Panthers with the score at 41-18
after the third.
The Panthers managed to score
12 points in the second half with
six in each quarter for the final
score of 49-24.
Kadinger led in points in the
third with a double, then a triple,
followed by another double scored.
Klinger had two jumpers for four
points, Kuehndorf hit one shot for
two, Peterson had one double and
a free throw and then Petersen
made one free throw.
The game ended with
Kuehndorf and Kadinger each
draining a three and then Klinger
was fouled and scored both her
baskets.
Kadinger led in points with
14 from her four doubles and two
triples. Klinger followed with 11
from three doubles, one triple and
she was two for two at the line.
Kuehndorf was a point behind
with ten from her one double, two
triples and two free throws.
And the Peterson/Petersen duo
each posted seven points with
three doubles and one free throw
scored by each.
The Toppers will dive back into
a full schedule of play with a game
at home this Thursday (Jan. 22)
and one again on Saturday, which
will be in Clayton at 1:30 p.m.
They will then be back on the
road Tuesday (Jan. 27) for a game
against St. Croix Central.

Toppers fall to 2-5 in D-SC after loss to Colfax and Elk Mound
Toppers tried to answer back with
three pointers, but they missed.
Soon time was running out
and they were left with only one
choice and that was to foul. That
put the Vikings on the line, but
to the Toppers’ advantage they
only scored two out of six shot
attempts.
Todd Petersen scored a double
and a free throw and Kadinger
had a free throw as well in the
fourth.
The Toppers again did not have
much inside action as they scored
just about as many doubles as
triples; five doubles and six triples.
Wallace led that game in points
with 12 from his four threes.
Hierlmeier followed with 11 from
three doubles, one triple and he
was two for two from the line.
Kadinger finished with seven
from one double, one triple and he
made two out of four free throws
and then Petersen finished with
one double and one free throw.
Home against Elk Mound
The Toppers had a 17-7 lead at
one point against the Mounders in
the first half, but that changed all
too quickly in the third quarter.
The Mounders tied the score up
at 23 and then again at 26 before
taking a commanding lead for the
win of 49-35.
The Toppers seem to be shying
away from the basket and inside
shots. Instead they are going
for the long ball, which presents
inconsistencies and that has
seemed to cost them their last
two games.
The Toppers shot six three
pointers and just eight doubles in
their contest against Elk Mound.
The Mounders on the other hand
had 14 doubles and four triples.
The game started with the
Toppers ahead 10-5 with a three
and free throw by Wallace, two
doubles by Kadinger and one from
Petersen to put them on the board.
The second quarter was a
wash with both teams scoring
nine points. Wallace again hit a
three and Petersen, Schone and
Ormson banked in a shot off the
glass for two.
The third quarter was really
the difference maker. The Topper
team scored just three baskets for
a total of seven points by a three
from Tyler Woodruff and a double
from Kadinger and Petersen.
The Mounders posted 16 points
of their own from five doubles and
two triples, which was enough to
give them their first lead of 30-26.
Elk Mound’s offensive play only
ignited after that with 19 points
scored in the final eight minutes
over the Toppers’ nine.

By Kelsie Hoitomt
The Glenwood City boys’
basketball team played a trio
of games this past week with
their first contest on Thursday
in Colfax.
They were then at home on
Saturday to host Elk Mound and
again at home Monday night to
host Prairie Farm.
Their game in Colfax was a low
scoring contest that ended in the
Vikings’ favor 38-33.
The Toppers trailed 11-8 after
the first quarter, but they tied the
game at 20s by the half after out
scoring the Vikings 12-9.
The Toppers did lead in the
first quarter 5-0 after the Jake
Hierlmeier scored two free throws
and Marcus Kadinger hit a three.
However, Sawyer DeMoe got
the ball in his hands and the
Toppers could not stop him. He
drove in four shots for eight of the
Vikings’ 11 points.
Kip Wallace shot a three in the
first quarter and then hit another
one in the second, which gave the
Toppers a brief lead of 12-11.
The Toppers trailed again
before Kadinger hit a double and
then Wallace dropped his second
three in for a 20-17 lead.
There were three seconds left
before the half and the Viking’s
Brett Prince hit a triple to tie the
score.
Wallace knocked down his third
three pointer and Hierlmeier
drove in two baskets for a total of
seven points in the third quarter.
The Vikings however scored
three doubles and a free throw
of their own to tie the game once
again 27-27.
Hierlmeier had the first basket
in the fourth quarter and then
their action went cold. The Vikings
scored nine straight points and the
five doubles.
On the Toppers’ side, Schone
drained two three’s and Nate
Mrdutt made one for the team’s
final points.
A surprising statistic was that
the Toppers had just two free
throw shots and one was made,
which was Wallace in the first
quarter. The Mounders took 19
shots from the line and were
successful with nine.
Schone led the team in points
with eight from his two threes and
one double. Wallace followed with
seven from his two threes and one
free throw.
Then it was Kadinger and
Petersen with six each from their
three doubles. Woodruff and
Mrdutt each finished with three
and Ormson had two.
65-49 win over Panthers
The Toppers had a big game
against the Prairie Farm Panthers
with a near 19 point lead at one
point in the game.
The Toppers boasted 21 points
in the first quarter for a 21-8 lead.
Then they were up 16 more points
in the second for a 37-25 score at
the half.
Hierlmeier came out swinging
with a triple drained, then a
double, a second triple and another
double for ten of the 21 points.
Petersen played strong under
the net with three doubles driven
up and in. Kadinger also hit a
triple and then Schone scored a
double.
After scoring 37 points in the
first half, the Toppers took a nose
dive out of the break with only six
points posted in the third quarter.
They had three baskets with one
each from Wallace, Petersen and
Ormson.
The Panthers scored ten points,
which put the score gap down to
eight with the board reading 43-35
going into the fourth quarter.
Prior to the fourth quarter
there was just one free throw shot
taken by the Toppers, but it turned
into a brawl on the court in the
final minutes with a staggering
18 shots attempted.
Hierlmeier shot a three and
then was fouled three times for
six shots, which he was successful
with five of them.
Wallace knocked in a double
and then was fouled twice and
scored two out of four baskets.
Petersen and Ormson also scored
a double and went two for two
from the line.
Brandon Barstad played a
quarter and made a double, which
all together totaled the 22 team
points for the win of 65-49.
The Toppers finished with a
much better inside game this time
around with 16 doubles scored and
seven triples. They finished with
12 free throws made out of 19.
Hierlmeier had a big game with
21 points from his three triples,
three doubles and he finished six
for seven on the line.
Petersen played one of his best
games this season with 17 points
from six doubles, one triple and
his two free throws.
Wallace followed with nine
from two doubles, two free throws
and one triple. Ormson had eight
from three doubles and two free
throws. Kadinger had two three’s.
And Barstad and Schone each had
one double.
The Toppers will play this
Saturday, January 24 in Clayton
and then they will be back home
on Monday for a game against
Prescott.
They will resume conference
play on Thursday, January 29
with a road trip to Mondovi.

Topper grapplers defeated at home by Mondovi and Spring Valley
By Kelsie Hoitomt
GLENWOOD CITY— The
Glenwood City wrestling team had
a rough start to their conference
dual at home as they lost to
Mondovi last Tuesday and then to
Spring Valley on Thursday.
Mondovi’s match was a 16 point
difference with the Toppers losing
46-30. On Thursday, however, they
faced a state tournament quality
team in the Cardinals and they
were demolished, 63-9.
The night started with the
145 pound match first. Spencer
Peterson faced off against Dillon
Larson and was defeated 7-0 after
Larson got a take down and near
fall in the first period and then
another take down in the second.
The Toppers forfeited 152 and
bumped Jake O’Meara up to 160
where he went head to head with
Garrett Kees.
Jake quickly secured five points
with a take down and near fall in
the first period before he got the
pin 3:04 into the match.
Austin Wannemacher followed
with his match against Ben
Andress. Andress had a take down
and then a two point near fall in
the first.
He got a three point near fall in
the second as well as a take down
and a point penalty, which put him
ahead 10-0.
The match ended shortly after
the third period began when
Andress got another take down
and three point near fall for a
tech fall.
Jake Logghe put the Toppers
back on the board after he wrestled
Jake West and won by a pin in the
third period.
He started with four points in
the first period and then three in
the second after starting down,
getting the escape and then adding
a take down. He finished with the
pin at 4:09.
Logan Smith’s match against
Bryce Johnson was as close as it
could get. Smith had a take down
in the first period and two in the
second for a lead of 6-4 going into
the final period.
Johnson however managed to
get Smith in a hold for a three

point near fall that gave him the
decision win of 7-6.
The Toppers trailed 17-12 going
into the 220 pound match, but that
changed after Hogan Chouinard
put Devon Yarrington on his back
in the second period. That win
gave the Toppers a one point lead
of 18-17.
The score continued to yo-yo
after Anthony Melstrom lost to
Tristen Lobe by a fall, but Austin
Curvello won his match over
Autumn Washok by a fall, which
put the Toppers back ahead 24-23.
Jake Nadeau followed at 113
and lost to Nick Pelke in the
third period by a fall. Nadeau lost
consciousness due to a pin hold
that cut off his air-flow.
Mondovi received six more
points at the 120 match as well
as their Austin Fedie pinned Brad
Kessler in the first period. That
put the score at 35-24.
Their lead jumped even further
when the Trevors faced off against
each other. Mondovi’s Trevor Hurt
was up 8-0 before he held onto
Trevor Larson for the pin in the
second period.

Well, "Murphy's Law" seemed to apply to our beloved Packers on
Sunday in the last five minutes of the game. You could look at several
different things that happened during that last five minutes and even
earlier in the game that could have changed the outcome of the game.
Bottom line - they gave it away!! Still love the Green and Gold but it's
hard to swallow!!! They should BE in the Super Bowl!!!
Our 9-pin Tap Tournament gets underway in a few short weeks and
the dates and times are filling up fast. If you want to sign up, I'd call
or stop in to check on your date.

Five Rules for Men to Follow for a Happy Life
Here are the Five Rules for Men to Follow for a Happy Life that
Russell J. Larsen had inscribed on his headstone in Logan, Utah. He
died not knowing that he would win the "Coolest Headstone" contest.
FIVE RULES FOR MEN TO FOLLOW FOR A HAPPY LIFE:
1. It's important to have a woman who helps at home, cooks from
time to time, cleans up, and has a job.
2. It's important to have a woman who can make you laugh.
3. It's important to have a woman who you can trust, and doesn't
lie to you.
4. It's important to have a woman who is good in bed, and likes to
be with you.
5. It's very, very important that these four women do not know each
other or you could end up dead like me.

That was their only points
on the board for seven straight
matches.
Peterson was pinned by Devon
Johnson. Carlos Perez was pinned
by Jed Schlegel. Logghe lost by a
3-0 decision to Quinton Elliott.
Smith was pinned by Ryan Asher.
The Toppers forfeited 195 and
then Chouinard lost to Ethan
Hofacker by a pin. Melstrom was
pinned in the first period as well
by Jake Howe.
That brought up the 106 pound
match which was Curvello’s win
by forfeit.
It was lights out after that with
Nadeau losing to Andrew Webb by
a decision of 8-1. Then the Toppers
forfeited 120 and 126 to end the
night.
After going hard for a few
weeks now, the Toppers had a
break from the mat as there are
no matches on their schedule until
this Thursday, January 22, which
is in Hammond.
They will then be at home
Tuesday, January 27 to host

night came at 132 after Marcus
Ullom put Jake Peterson on his
back just four seconds shy of the
first period buzzer. The night ended with Bryan
Larson defeating Cody Bonte by
a tech fall.
The Toppers won five matches
that night, which was an
impressive feat compared their
Thursday night dual against the
Cardinals.
The Toppers had just one
winning match, which was
O’Meara over Ryan Berg that
ended with a decision of 4-3.
That gave the team three points
and then Curvello received a
forfeit at 106, which was six points
that added to a total of nine.
Ullom started the night at
132 with a match against Isaiah
Eitrem. The match was pretty
uneventful as it ended on a 5-3
decision with all the points scored
in the first period. The final
decision was not in Ullom’s favor.
Bonte followed and lost by a
fall to Cruze Hurlbuet in the first
period. Then it was O’Meara’s
match which put the Toppers on
the board 3-9.

First Beaver
Hello friends,
On Christmas Eve my
stepson, Joey Dushek, calls
me up and says he just found
some very active beaver sign
and wants to know if I would
show him how to make some
beaver sets (trap sets) as he
had a strong desire to catch his
first beaver. I tell Joey, lets wait,
come up with a bunch of 330
bodygrip traps and do this in a
couple of weeks and besides, its
Christmas!
Enter our good buddy Jody
Bigalke. Jody is a very active
trapper, has lots of gear, and
likes teaching kids how to hunt,
shoot carp, fish and trap (major
KAMO one on one mentor).
Jody basically takes charge of
the entire operation and here is
the story.
Saturday, January 10th
High 14, low minus 16
Joey Dushek is 21, took his
Trapper Education class last
year, works on a cranberry
marsh in western Juneau
County and since he caught his
first fox two weeks ago, is totally
addicted to trapping. Today,
Jody, Joey, and myself spent
a full day exploring a couple
thousand acres of forest, marsh
and waterways and basically
worked very hard.
The first place that we made
our sets was one of five that
Joey had been doing some very
serious scouting at. The layout
was a maybe 200-acre reservoir
with the vast majority of the
shoreline made up of mature
pine and oak forest.
Beaver like most wildlife,
love recent logging jobs and the
reason s always the same and
that is because, deer, grouse
and beaver find abundant food
to consume in the aspen that
appears the following spring and
for many years to come (grouse
eat the buds).
In our case there were not
many beaver as there was not
much food, but all Jody or myself
cared about was getting Joey his
first beaver and teaching him
how to trap beaver.
Our first set was on what
you could literally call an
underwater beaver trail. Beaver
like muskrat, swim on trails,
generally at the bottom of the
waterway they are swimming
once ice has formed. Depending
on the age of the water system,
these trails could be decades
old and always create a shallow
path (hard bottom) where the
beaver swim and there bodies
push silt and sand to the side.
The ice was only two inches
thick over the beaver highways
and so we had to be careful.
Jody Bigalke taught Joey at
our first set that in a deep run
it is best to set two, body grip
traps, with one positioned over
the other in case the beaver
are swimming a bit above the
bottom. Long story short, at days
end we had 7 sets for beaver and
the following day Jody taught
Joey how to make two sets for
muskrat and that first day of
checking traps yielded no fur.
Space is always in an issue
in telling this story but hard
work, cold hands, incredible
wildlife sign (bobcat, wolf, coyote
and deer) are a large part of
the adventure called beaver
trapping.
Wednesday, January 14th
High 21, low minus 12
Jody could not make trap
checking today and most of our
work was done in the dark as
Joey worked until 4:30. Our
experience was none short of
incredible, Joey’s first set was a
baited set under the ice and no
beaver. The next set was a trail
on the bottom of the reservoir
and that is where Joey caught
his first beaver after some ice
chopping and trap pulling. Joey’s
3rd set held his second beaver;
his 4th held his first muskrat
and his 5th another rat.
All of our work is being
done with a spotlight and our
adventure is becoming a classic.
Set number 6 was a trail
leading to a hut. Above the ice
was ample bobcat and coyote
sign. When we pulled this
bodygrip it held what looked like
a small bear and now Joey had a
beaver to make a blanket out of.
I do not know what this trophy
weighed but I believe 60-pounds
is a good guess.
During this entire experience
we were talking about biology
and how many animals to safely
harvest without over harvesting.
As I said our sets were
scattered and our second to last
was made for beaver but held
Joey’s 3rd rat and set number
9 held another beaver which
meant 7 out of 9 held fur.
Joey is pulling the traps the
next time he checks them and I
think it is safe to say a couple of
old timers taught him a trick or
two on how to trap beaver under
the ice.

Edina Realty Inc., Edina, Minn., filed
suit against Richard and Jonna Klucas,
Star Prairie.
According to the complaint, the
Klucases wanted to sell their property
at 2050 Hwy. 65, New Richmond, and
signed a listing contract with Edina.
The complaint says the Klucases
agreed to pay a commission of 10% of the
final purchase price if the property was
sold pursuant to the terms of the listing
contract, which said the commission
would be paid if the property was sold
to any “protected buyer.” A “protected
buyer” is defined as any buyer who delivered a written offer to purchase during
the term of the contract.
The complaint says the listing contract expired Sept. 27, 2010, and on
June 2, 2010, a couple submitted an offer
to purchase, making them “protected
buyers.”
Then, says the complaint, after the
contract expired, the Klucases sold the
property to the couple who had made
the earlier offer, closing on July 1, 2011.
The complaint says the final purchase
price was $375,000, and therefore the
Klucases owe Edina $37,500.

In a two-page decision, Judge Eric
Lundell found that the attorney for Keim
TS Inc., Sabetha, Kan., and Northland
Insurance Company violated Wisconsin
law and as a consequence may not offer
damage evidence.
On Jan. 29, 2013, a Keim employee,
who was driving a semi-truck and trailer,
struck a wooden fence and cinder block
wall attached to a building owned by
New Richmond Industries, 905 N.
Knowles Ave., New Richmond.
New Richmond Industries first asked
for $11,946 in damages, and Keim offered $2,394. New Richmond reduced
its demand to $8,000, and Keim offered
$4,000, but then New Richmond raised
its demand to $10,000.
Wisconsin law precludes the admission of settlement evidence to show liability or prove the invalidity of a claim.
Referencing case law, Lundell wrote,
“The public policy behind the statute is to
encourage settlements by ‘recogniz(ing)
that a person ought to be able to buy
his peace without fear that his offers of
compromise will be used against him if
not accepted.’ “
Lundell said Keim violated Wisconsin
statute by referring to settlement negotiations and including that information
in its trial brief.
“In preparation for trial, the Court
(judge) has already read the trial brief
and the references to settlement negotiations. You cannot unring the bell,” wrote
Lundell.
Because the case was being tried by
judge, the only remedy is to exclude the
damage evidence, concluded Lundell.
Following that decision, the court was
notified that the parties have reached a
settlement. A court trial set for Dec. 19
was cancelled.

OBITUARY
PATRICIA “TRISH” L. OLSON
Patricia “Trish” L. Olson, 62,
of Comstock died at her home on
Wednesday, January 14, 2015.
She was born November 13, 1952
in Rice Lake, WI to Vernon and
Dorothy (Blechinger) Leisz. Trish
grew up and attended high school
in Turtle Lake, WI.
She was married to Ronald
Olson on August 1, 1970 in

The two began management
of the family farm in Comstock
in 1971, later purchasing the
operation from Ron’s father. Her
passion for farming, love of the
animals, and management skills
helped build Bethany Valley Farms
into a successful business for over
40 years. In her spare time, Trish
loved to garden, shop, and cook.
She also enjoyed traveling with
friends and took several group
tour vacations around the country
and internationally. Most of all,
though, Trish adored her family,
especially her grandchildren.
Some of her favorite memories
were of times spent together
each July during the annual
family vacation. However, there
was nothing she treasured more
than having everyone together
at the farm where she would
prepare huge meals, spoil the
grandchildren, and play an
occasional game of “Old Maid”.
Trish’s hospitality extended far
beyond her family. Her door was
always open, and she made sure
no one went away hungry. Trish
tirelessly took care of everyone
around her and inspired us all
with her generosity.
She is survived by her husband,
Ron of Comstock; two sons, Chad
(Kristin) Olson of Cumberland
and Jamie (Rochelle) Olson of
Boyceville; two daughters, Sara
(Sean) Annis of Eau Claire and
Amanda (Isaac) Lundquist of
Comstock; seven grandchildren,
Makenna, Reid, Ava, Harper,
Delaney, Olivia and Brady; her
mother, Dorothy Leisz of Almena;

ORMSON’S SUPERVALU and the Barrel O’ Fun Snack Company have teamed up to donate $590
to the Glenwood City Athletic Department for needed equipment replacement for all athletic programs.
This was accomplished through the continued purchases of all Barrel O’ Fun snacks and chips only
available to Ormson’s SuperValu. Athletic Director, Patrick Gretzlock was presented with the check
by Ormson’s SuperValu owner, Brian Ormson before the home basketball game on December 30. “I
understand this donation is only a drop in the bucket compared to what their needs are, but every little
bit helps and I’m pleased to be a part of that,” shared Ormson. The Barrel O’ Fun Company should
also get credit for providing the incentives to make this program work. “It has been one of the better
aspects of my job to find creative ways, within my business environment, to benefit the Glenwood
School District and the community as whole,” said Ormson. The presentation included from left to
right: Todd Petersen, Marcus Kadinger, Joel Ormson, Jake Hierlmeier, Patrick Gretzlock, Brian Ormson,
Moriah Kuehndorf, Jen Kopacz, Kristie Knops and Megan Samens. —photo submitted

Valley Technical College (CVTC)
through the Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance (VITA) program.
On Thursdays Feb. 5 through
April 9, student volunteers certified
by the IRS and working under the
supervision of a CVTC Accounting
instructor will provide free income
tax preparation in room 240 of
the Business Education Center,
620 W. Clairemont Ave., Eau
Claire. The service is provided
on a first-come-first-served basis,
with sign-up beginning at noon
and tax preparation from 1-4:30
p.m. each day. The service will
not be available March 12 during
spring break.
Please bring the following items
to have your return prepared:
• Photo ID
• Social Security cards for
taxpayer and all dependents
• Earnings statements (W2, W-2G or 1099-R) including
interest and dividend statements
•Copy of last year ’s tax
returns
•C h i l d c a r e p r o v i d e r
information and amount paid
• Birthdates, including spouse
and dependents
•R e n t c e r t i f i c a t e s f r o m
landlord or property tax statement
• F i n a n c i a l i n s t i t u t i o n ’s
routing and account numbers for
direct deposit
Returns cannot be prepared for
those with complicated returns
as identified by the IRS, such as
rental or business income that
cannot be reported on a Schedule
C-EZ.
“All of the students have to
go through IRS training and
certification process, and
everything is also reviewed
by myself or others with tax
preparation experience,” said
Jason Szymanski, CVTC
Accounting instructor and
program supervisor.
Szymanski added that an
income of $53,000 or less is what
the IRS likes to see for people
using the VITA service.
“This helps the community,
because the tax code is
complicated,” Szymanski said.
“And it’s great experience for the
students to work with a real client.
It takes the concepts they learned
in the classroom and applies them
to real life.”

REMEMBERS ANDY PAFKO:
Although Boyceville native and
former professional baseball
player Andy Pafko has been mentioned in several books, most
often dealing with the Chicago
Cubs, there has yet to be a book
written completely on Pafko’s life
from a small child until his death
almost a year ago. That is until
Joe Niese, a librarian/information services coordinator for the
Chippewa Falls Public Library
by day and a sports author by
night decided to write one. The
book is titled “Handy Andy: The
Andy Pafko Story”and will be self
published by Niese.
