Investigation into Town of Glenwood
cockfighting operation continues
TOWN OF GLENWOOD —
Although the 19 individuals arrested for being spectators at a
January 24 cockfight have posted
bail and have been released, St.
Croix County Sheriff John Shilts
said that the investigation is still
active.
In a January 27 news release,
Sheriff Shilts stated that the investigation is active and as such
information will be limited but
that updates may be released as
more information is gathered and
individuals involved are identified.
According to the news release,
the St. Croix County Sheriff ’s
Office received information of a
possible “cockfighting” event being held at a farm located at 1721
315th Street in the Town of Glenwood around 1:13 pm on Saturday, January 24.
When Sheriff ’s deputies arrived at the location, they found
several people on site of a working dairy farm but could hear
sounds of what they described as
“loud chicken noises” in an area
away from the main dairy barn.
As they approached that area,
deputies observed several individuals gathered around a makeshift shelter. A large number of
these individuals ran from the
area of the shelter and into a
wooded area when they observed
deputies approaching.
Upon closer inspection, deputies noted a “cockfighting ring” as
well as other items that indicated
that a cockfight had taken place
or was taking place.
Deputies from St. Croix and
Polk County with assistance from
Wisconsin State Patrol Troopers
and officers from the Woodville
and Baldwin Police Departments
took 19 people into custody and
booked them into the St. Croix
County jail for being spectators
at a cockfight which is illegal in
Wisconsin.
The 19 people arrested on
charges of instigation of animal
fights as a spectator were:
Jose D. Quechulpa-Tequil, 28,
Glenwood City.
Ramon Serrano, 55, Lakeville,
Minn.
Ernesto B. Benitez, 48, Amery.
Manuel D. Galvez, West St.
Paul, Minn.
Ricardo Llamas-Silva, 38, Clear
Lake.
Elpidio Gorostieta-Flores, 39,
New Brighton, Minn.
Agustin A. Benitez, 56, Turtle
Lake.
Idelio J. Benitez, 57, Amery.
Luis M. Benitez, 25, Amery.
Michael A. Sanchez, 33, St.
Paul.
Benito M. Benitez, 54, Amery.
Juan C. Sanchez-Ortiz, 29, St.
Paul.
Iliberto Ayala-Vazquez, 55, St.
Paul.
Martin M. Rios, 44,
Bloomington, Minn.
Sabino A. Sanchez, 23, St. Paul.
Juan M. Enciso-Rojas, 31,
Almena.
Dario H. Melendez, 28, St.
Paul.
Ignacio Ochoa, 19, Faribault,
Minn.
Ignacio Ochoa-Garcia, 53,
Faribault, Minn.
Ten of the men were also charged
with resisting or obstructing an
officer. All 19 suspects had posted
bail and had been released by
Tuesday, January 27.
Dr. Marvin Johnson, a veterinarian from Roberts, is the owner
of the farm which is located about
six miles north of Glenwood City.
“(Dr. Johnson) has been extremely helpful from the onset of
this investigation and continues
to assist my office even today,”
said Sheriff Shilts in the dated
release.
“We have concluded that Dr.
Johnson had no knowledge of the
event. Dr. Johnson assisted deputies on the scene with helping to
ensure the safety of the roosters
on site,” stated Shilts, adding “He
has definitely established that he
does not condone this activity
and has cooperated at every level
with my office.”
Shilts also stated that Dr.
Johnson had made it clear to his
employees that they are expected
to cooperate with the investigation to the extent that they can.
Shilts did confirm that the
farm is a working dairy and that
Dr. Johnson does tend to his dairy
herd. Dr. Johnson was also aware
that there were some chickens
on the property that belonged to
his employees and believed that
they were being used for accepted
farming practices only.
UW system and local control of sand
mines topics for Harsdorf listening session
By LeAnn R. Ralph
MENOMONIE — Funding
for the University of Wisconsin
system and maintaining local
control of frac sand mines were
two prominent topics constituents
discussed with state Senator
Sheila Harsdorf at a listening
session January 29.
About 20 people attended
Senator Harsdorf ’s listening
session at the Dunn County
Judicial Center.
Senator Harsdorf (R-River
Falls) represents the state’s 10th
Senate District, which covers the
28th, 29th and 30th Assembly
Districts — all of St. Croix County
and portions of Burnett, Dunn,
Pierce and Polk Counties.
G o v e r n o r S c o t t Wa l k e r ’s
proposed decrease in state funding
to the University of Wisconsin
System of $300 million over the
next two years is a “second Act
10” aimed at UW employees, said
Terry Nichols, a Town of Colfax
resident and a retired employee
of UW-Stout.
Nichols said he takes offense at
the governor’s characterization of
public employees as the “haves”
and pitting the “haves” against
the “have nots.”
“The wound has not healed, and
the governor broke it open again,”
Nichols said.
Details of the governor ’s
proposal are expected to be
included in the state budget.
The 13 percent reduction in
state aid, which amounts to $300
million over two years, is reported
to be the largest cut in funding in
the history of the UW system.
The governor’s proposal also
includes moving the UW system
from being under the control
of state Legislature to being
under the control of a public
authority, giving the UW system
more autonomy.
Senator Harsdorf said that
giving the UW system more
autonomy would provide the
flexibility and “the tools” to deal
with the $300 million reduction
in state aid.
Senator Harsdorf said she
advocates for greater flexibility
to allow the campuses to manage
their operations.
“I believe it has merit longterm,” Harsdorf said.
At this point, it is not clear what
increased flexibility to manage
operations means, but news
reports have suggested it could
include delaying maintenance and
decreasing faculty and staff.
Governor Walker has gone
on record saying that university
professors should work harder and
teach more classes.
Kathy Stahl, a Town of Colfax
resident and the former host of
Spectrum West on Wisconsin
Public Radio, said the $300 million
reduction in state aid is only one
decrease for the UW system.
“It has been cuts time after
time,” she said.
Morale on University of
Wisconsin campuses “has been
hugely hurt,” Stahl said.
“We have already cut out the
excess. I fear we will now be losing
quality (faculty and staff),” she
said.
“I am aware we will be losing
good faculty,” Senator Harsdorf
said, adding that the Legislature
must hold the UW system
accountable.
The increased autonomy will
give the UW system long-term
flexibility to manage the payroll,
she said.
Local control
Stahl also said she was
concerned that the issue of
removing local control of the frac
sand mines would be a provision
tacked onto the budget.
766750 1-29-15
Local control is a policy issue
and not a budget issue, Stahl said,
and asked Senator Harsdorf not
to vote in favor of removing local
control.
Stahl said she respects
landowners’ rights to use their
property but that sand mines “go
beyond their boundaries.”
All counties in the state have
different environments and
different needs, so a central set of
regulations from the state would
not take those differences into
account, she said.
Jerry Lausted, a farmer in the
Town of Red Cedar and the Town
of Tainter, said he, too, was deeply
concerned about the loss of local
control.
Two bills were introduced by
Senator Tom Tiffany last year
undermining local control of the
sand mines, he said.
The extraction industry wants
to be able to move from section to
section and expand the acreage
of the sand mine with no new
regulations, Lausted said.
Being able to expand with no
new regulations is known as the
diminishing assets rule.
According to an analysis by
the Legislative Reference Bureau
of one of Senator Tiffany’s bills
regarding diminishing assets, a
zoning ordinance that is adopted
after a nonmetallic mining
operation has started cannot apply
to land that is contiguous to a
nonmetallic mining operation that
is under the control or common
ownership of the person who owns
or controls the land where the
mining is occurring, even if nonmetallic mining is not taking place
on the contiguous property at the
time the new ordinance is adopted.
Under diminishing assets, “if

Gov. support of wind energy gone, spells end of expansion?
By Robert Romano, senior
editor of Americans for Limited
Government
It may be time for the wind
energy industry to finally stand
on its own two feet.
On January 28, the U.S. Senate
defeated an amendment by Sen.
Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) in
favor of the now-expired wind
production tax credit. It failed by
a vote of 47 to 51.
And that was merely a “sense of
Congress” non-binding resolution
in favor of the policy, which funds
an inflation-adjusted 2.3 cents
per-kilowatt-hour (kWh) tax credit
for electricity generated that were
constructed before January 1,
2015.
In 2014, it cost taxpayers $6.4
billion paid out to owners and
operators of wind turbines.
That credit lasts for 10 years,
and so taxpayers are still on
the hook until at least January
1, 2025, but as most projects
were constructed before 2014,
the amount of the credit should
gradually be winding down on an
annual basis.
Any new wind projects will not
be eligible to receive the tax credit,
leading American Wind Energy
Association head Tom Kiernan to
complain, “We worry about the
industry going off the cliff again
if we don’t get the Production
Tax Credit extended as soon as
possible.”
Industry experts warn that
the tax credit expiration will halt
production of new turbines, since
current market participants would
have a built-in cost advantage
versus new entrants into the
industry unable to take advantage
of the tax incentive.
Such are the perverse incentives
Congress creates when it doles out
tax subsidies to any industry.
In this case, in 2012 wind only
generated $5 billion of revenue,
according to the U.S. Census
Bureau. Compare that to the $6
billion tax subsidy from that year,
estimated by the Joint Committee
on Taxation.
By that count, new entrants
into the marketplace will be
seeing as much as a 55 percent
markdown, on average, compared
to subsidized competitors.
Which is why the subsidy
should be eliminated altogether.
It’s the only way to have a truly
level playing field with real
competition.
Proponents will argue that,
actually, this is why the tax credit
should be made permanent, a
position we’re certain the American
Wind Energy Association would
support.
But what industry wouldn’t
want a permanent, annual subsidy
totaling billions of dollars?
Ultimately, it is for Congress to
decide whether the cost is worth
it to subsidize an industry that
only produces 4.5 percent of U.S
electricity, according to the Energy
Information Agency.
As it is now, the remaining
subsidies appear to create a
barrier for new wind turbines to
be built and thus will impact the
growth of the industry by its own
admission. And Congress has
shown no interest in renewing the
tax credit.
Therefore, the only fair way
to proceed is to eliminate the
remaining subsidies, too. Right?
WI Natural Resources Board approves
strategic study of frac sand mining
By LeAnn R. Ralph
MADISON — The Wisconsin
Natural Resources Board has
given the go-ahead for the state
Department of Natural Resources
to conduct a strategic analysis of
industrial frac sand mining.
The NRB approved the
recommendation from the DNR
at the board’s January 28 meeting
on a unanimous vote.
The DNR made the
recommendation to the Natural
Resources Board 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.
The DNR will seek public
comment and will update a
2012 report as part of a broader
strategic analysis on industrial
sand mining, according to a news
release from the DNR dated
January 28.
The DNR will seek public
input on the topics that should be
addressed in the report, and the
analysis process includes a public
comment period and a review
of a draft of the report before
it is presented to the Natural
Resources Board.
DNR staff members reported to
the Natural Resources Board at
the January 28 meeting that they
plan to ask for public comment
on the scope of the analysis in
February and March.
Once the scope of the strategic
analysis has been determined, the
DNR will establish a timeline for
completing the analysis, according
to the news release.
Preston D. Cole, director
of operations for the City of
Milwaukee Department of Public
Works, serves as the chair of the
NRB.
Terry Hilgenberg, president of
the Coldwell Bankers Hilgenberg
Realtors, serves as the vice-chair
of the board.
Gregory Kazmierski, president
and owner of Buckrub Outfitters
Ltd., serves as secretary of the
NRB.
The following directors also
serve on the Natural Resources
Board: William Bruins, owner
and operator of Homeland Dairy;

the sand mine is five miles away
now, it could be in your backyard
three years from now,” Lausted
said.
“The extraction industry is not
your best buddy,” he said.
Senator Harsdorf said this
area of the state needs the jobs
from sand mining and that sand
mining can be done “in a smart
way and an environmentally
smart way.”
Lausted said that the
Fairmount Minerals (Wisconsin
Industrial Sand) mine across
the road from the judicial center
employs 14 people.
Senator Harsdorf said that
regulations for sand mining could
hurt aggregate mining.
Aggregate refers to the sand
and gravel pits that are used for
road construction and other local
construction projects.
Dunn County’s nonmetallic
mining ordinance exempts sand
and gravel operations used for
local road construction or other
construction.
Lausted also said he was
concerned about the ponds at the

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
be fixed for costs similar to many
common home repairs. There
are now many local contractors

manufacture methamphetamine;
and eight felony bail jumping
charges.
A 30- mi n u te p r e l i mi n ar y
hearing is scheduled in Dunn
County Circuit Court on March 3
for the ten latest felony charges.
Bail in Dunn County for the ten
felonies was set at $3,000 cash on
January 14.
Bundy was in custody at the
time of the January 26 hearing,
and her attorney, T. Gregory
Amann, requested that the bail be
reduced because Bundy said she
wanted to get into treatment, to
do testing and to visit her children.
Dunn County District Attorney
Andrea Nodolf argued against
reducing the bail amount.
Amann said he believes Bundy
is motivated.
Judge Smeltzer denied the
request to reduce the $3,000 cash
bail.
A sentencing hearing is
scheduled in Dunn County Circuit
Court April 6 on the three felonies
for which Bundy pleaded guilty.
During the January 26 court
hearing, Judge Smeltzer ordered
a pre-sentence investigation.

for February 4.
Chippewa
In Chippewa County, Bundy
is charged with five felonies:
obtaining a controlled substance
by fraud; misappropriating ID
information to obtain money;

and bail jumping.
A February 24 court hearing
has been set in Chippewa County.
The Town of Howard’s mine
licensing ordinance requires any
companies proposing to operate a

submitted to the Town of Howard.
The Chippewa County Board
of Supervisors and the Dunn

Tax relief
The Legislature prioritized
tax relief for state residents and
reduced the income tax rates from
five to four, Senator Harsdorf said.
The Legislature also moved
part of the technical school tax
levy off local property taxes to
the state level and pledged $400
million per year, which will reduce
the local property tax levy for
technical schools by 50 percent,
she said.
The Legislative Fiscal Bureau
is projecting a revenue growth
of 3.7 percent, but the state is
facing a budget shortfall, Senator
Harsdorf said.
Medical assistance will require
an additional $760 million over
the next two years, she said.
The increase in medical
assistance spending and the tax
relief have contributed to the
state’s budget deficit, she said.
The state is reported to have a
current-year budget shortfall of
more than $280 million, and the
projected budget deficit for 20152017 is $2.2 billion.

The DNR would have to get
up to speed with staffing and
equipment, she said, noting that
the DNR is currently understaffed
for the responsibilities they have
now, never mind giving the agency
additional responsibilities.
Reforms
At the beginning of the hourlong listening session, Senator
Harsdorf noted that the state
Legislature is working on reforms
to make a positive, businessfriendly climate to encourage job
growth.
The state has a need for a more
skilled workforce to fill jobs that
currently are not filled, she said.

We find ourselves wondering ..... Did we remember to thank you
enough For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our
sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good
judgment,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times
we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things
you did,
We’re thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all

How much you meant to us.

Healthy screen use for families with toddlers
In most American households,
screens now outnumber family
members. Smartphones, tablets,
laptops and televisions are part
of everyday life for many families
and children. With screen media
playing a bigger role in our lives,
how can parents know how much,
and what kind of screen time, is
healthy for their young children?
Recently, a team of University
of Wisconsin-Extension Family
Living educators worked with Dr.
Heather Kirkorian of the UWMadison Human Development
and Family Studies department
to learn more about the ways that
screen media affect toddlers.
Kirkorian notes that while
limiting screen time for toddlers
is important, families can have
positive interactions around
screens, too. “Young children
need interactions with real people
and 3D objects to learn language
and meet other developmental
milestones,” says Kirkorian,
“However, parents do not need
to completely avoid screen time.
There are positive, intentional
ways to interact with your toddler
around screens.”
Kirkorian shared the following
suggestions from the national
group Zero to Three (http://www.
zerotothree.org) on ways parents
can positively incorporate screen
time into their toddler’s life.
• Watch and play together.
Toddlers learn from interacting
with adults. Rather than handing
your toddler the tablet or your
smartphone, sit down with your
child and talk about the game,
ask questions about what you
see on the screen, dance to a song
together, and take turns.
• Connect to the real world.
“Screens are just one piece of
your child’s education,” explained
Kirkorian, “Extend concepts that
were introduced on a screen
to everyday life. For instance,
if you saw a short video about
the zoo, take your child to the
zoo or play zoo with her stuffed
animals. Maybe your child traced
the alphabet using a tablet; now
point out letters on street signs or
in books as well. This helps kids
connect what they see on screens
to their real life.”
• U s e i n t e n t i o n a l l y .
Background television (TV that
is on all day) is the most harmful
type of screen time for children
and should be avoided because
it distracts kids from learning
through play, observation, and
conversation. “Turn off screens
when not in use, keep them out of
bedrooms, and consider watching
adult television shows when kids
are asleep,” says Kirkorian.
• Content matters. Not all
media content is created equally.
Young children don’t benefit from
fast or flashy shows or apps.
“Toddlers learn best from video or
app content that reflects their own
experiences, strong story lines
that they can easily understand,
and slow-paced interactions so
they have time to process what is
happening,” explains Kirkorian.
Don’t forget to consider adults’
screen use, too. “Kids are more
likely to act out when parents
are distracted,” says Kirkorian,
“Model healthy behavior with
your phone or other screens. Have
some screen-free zones or times,
like mealtime, when you focus on
each other rather than a screen.”

I was reading the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper Monday morning,
the front-page story was about President Obama’s new budget proposal.
It calls for up to six trillion dollars of new debt, new taxes.
I could only wonder who is going to pay off that enormous debt and
what the annual cost of interest will be on a debt that is near $25 trillion.
Not only will your grandchildren, but your great-grandchildren and so
on will have to find some way to face that challenge. I only hope that
the Republican-controlled Congress will bounce that budget idea right
down into the sewer.
I would like to touch on a couple of other items that crossed my desk
this past week.
First is that 2014 was not so hot of a year, satellites confirm. Climate
scientist Roy Spencer, PhD who is a climate scientist with impeccable
credentials, says that 2014 was not close to being the warmest year since
1979 when satellites first started collecting data. Instead, satellites show
1998 and perhaps 2010 as having that distinction. Spencer concluded,
“Abundant evidence that it was just as warm 1,000 and 2,000 years
ago as it is today.”
In a news release from the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, it was indicated that as the February 15 deadline to sign up
approaches, HHS is encouraging Wisconsin consumers to check out their
options for quality affordable coverage through the Health Insurance
Marketplace. As of January 16, 177,157 Wisconsin consumers selected or
were reenrolled in Marketplace coverage, according to the news release.
Of those that selected a plan, 90 percent got financial assistance; 30
percent were under 35 years of age with 66 percent reenrolled.
Of those 177,157 Wisconsinites that enrolled, 125 had Glenwood City
Zip Code addresses of 54013, 124 with Boyceville Zip Code of 54725.
Colfax had 192, Elk Mound 195 and Wilson with 88. Amery had 354.
Communities with less than 50 enrollees were not listed on the HHS
web site. Wisconsin, with a population of over 5.4 million, has just over
three percent enrolled in health marketplace.
I watched the Super Bowl game, which I figured would be won by
Seattle, but again I was mistaken. But the gang style street fighting
was one of the highlights of the game. It’s like going to a car race just
to see an accident.

The kids treated leave with

also take home information and

education.
“Childhood dental decay is
a communicable, infectious
disease,” said Pam Entorf, director
of CVTC’s Dental Hygienist and
Dental Assistant programs. “It’s
important to teach children as
young as possible about how to
take care of their teeth so they
don’t have problems as they get
older.”
The event is sponsored
nationally by the American
Dental Association and locally
by the Chippewa Valley Dental
Society and the Wisconsin Dental
Association. The event is a
partnership between area dentists
and the CVTC Dental Clinic.
“A lot of the students who were
graduates of the CVTC program
come back to volunteer. It’s like a
class reunion,” Entorf said.

Its purpose is to address the
needs of low-income and firstgeneration college students who
are completing and submitting
the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). The Federal
Government requires a FAFSA
from all students seeking financial
aid, including grants and loans, to
attend and pay for college.
Completing the FAFSA is the
first step for students to overcome
their financial burdens and pursue
their goals of higher education.
Dependent students, those
born after January 1, 1992,
should bring a parent along with
completed federal income tax
returns for 2014 (if filing) and
W2 statements. If a parent isn’t
available or the federal income tax
is not completed, students should
still attend.

Lady Bulldogs finish 1-1 against Elk Mound and Bloomer ballers
By Kelsie Hoitomt
Last week, the Boyceville girls’
basketball team had to face off
against the number two team in
the Dunn-St.Croix, Elk Mound.
They played on Tuesday night and
lost 49-31, which dropped their
record to 5-5.
They were then at home on
Monday night for a non-conference
contest against the Bloomer
Blackhawks, which ended in a
33-30 win.
Elk Mound wins again
The Mounders bumped up their
record to 10-1 with their only loss
to Colfax, which is the number one
team in the D-SC.
The game started with the
Bulldogs ahead by two points with
the score at 8-6 with sophomore
Brooklyn Hellmann leading the
way by her one double and one
triple. Shyanne Marlett knocked a
shot in as well and Lexi Peterson
had a free throw.
The Mounders woke up from
their slumber in the second
quarter and went off the grid
with 20 points scored against the
Bulldog’s nine for a 26-17 lead at
the half.
The Bulldogs made four free
throws between Cassie Malean
and Madysn Riek and then had a
triple by Hellmann and a double
from Morgan Kuhn before the
buzzer rang.
McKenna McVay was on fire for
the Mounders with two doubles
in the second quarter to start and
then she went off with four in the
third quarter.
The Bulldogs were unable to
stop her and score points of their
own, which led to a 37-24 deficit
after the third quarter.
They scored seven points out
of the half with a three by Bird, a
double from Marlett and two free
throws from Kuhn.
The game ended with Malean
leading the team in the fourth
quarter. She scored a double, then
made a free throw before ending
with another two-point basket for
five of their seven total points.
Marlett made the other double
for the team.
Hellmann led in points with
eight from her two triples and
one double. Malean followed with
seven from two doubles and three
free throws.
Marlett had three doubles for
six. Kuhn had one double and two
free throws for four. Bird had her
one triple. Riek had the two free
throws and Peterson had her one
free throw.
Close call at home
The match up against the
Bloomer Blackhawks was a good
one Monday night with the game
a close race until the very last
seconds.
The Blackhawks came to
Boyceville from the Heart O’
North Conference where they are
currently 9-2 and 11-5 overall.
They were aggressive the
majority of the game with a lot
of pressure applied that caused
the Bulldogs to turnover the ball
countless times in the first half.
There were many fundamental
errors that could have cost the
Bulldogs the game with poor
passes and travels, but they
persevered in the end.
The contest started with the
Bulldogs ahead 10-6 with seven
of the points coming by free
throws. Kuhn made four out of
four baskets, Riek had three
herself and then Peterson knocked
a triple in.
The second quarter was a wash
with both teams posting seven
points. Kuhn hit a three pointer
and then turned around and
knocked down another from the
same spot, which put the score
at 17-8.
Tu r n o v e r s a l l o w e d t h e
Blackhawks to score five
unanswered points for the 17-13
score at the half.
Out of the break the Blackhawks
took their first lead, before the
score tied at 21s and then again at
23s. The quarter ended with both
teams sitting at 25 points.
To open the fourth quarter,
Bloomer made the first basket
for a 27-25 lead, but that ended
quickly after Peterson drained a
three.
Malean then followed that up
with a three of her own from the
side of the court. From there on
out the Bulldogs controlled the
clock and led the game.
Peterson and Riek each made
one free throw in the final minute
of play. The Blackhawks had the
ball with ten seconds left, but
their shot bounced off the glass
and Marlett secured the win with
the rebound.
As a team, the Bulldogs made
only three two-point baskets and
then they had five triples and a
total of 12 free throws out of 18.
The Blackhawks had eight
doubles, one triple and they
finished 11 for 14 from the line.
On the court, Kuhn led for the
team with ten points from her two
triples and four free throws.
Then it was Peterson and Riek
with eight points each; Lexi had
two triples and two free throws
and Madysn had two doubles and
four free throw.
Marlett finished with one
double and two free throws for four
and Malean had her one triple.
Next on the schedule for the
Bulldogs is their Coaches vs
Cancer game that will be this
Thursday, February 5 against
Glenwood City.
They will then be on the road
next Tuesday, February 10 against
Mondovi.

Bulldogs boast highest scoring game of season with 63-30 win over Cornell
By Kelsie Hoitomt
BOYCEVILLE — The Bulldogs
had one game this past week,
which was on Thursday night at
home against the Cornell Chiefs.
The Chiefs are in the Lakeland-
East Conference with a five game
losing streak on their record after
the Bulldogs beat them 63-30.
This was the Bulldogs’ highest
scoring game of the year thus far.
They looked sharp on the court

— photo by Kelsie Hoitomt
from the get go.
The boys were following the
ball movement with precision
that accounted for numerous
turnovers by the Chiefs, which led
the Bulldogs to score.
The game started with the
Bulldogs up 19-8 with 12 points
alone scored between Brady
Schutts and Jake McIntyre.
Mitch Leach scored two doubles,
Justin Schulz had one and Hunter
Anderson drained their first free
throw.
By the half the Bulldogs had a
commanding lead of 35-15 after
they scored 16 points to the Chiefs’
seven.
They were spinning their way
past the defenders and taking
jump shot after jump shot for
points in the second. Tyler Draeger
scored two doubles and so did
Leach. Schutts, Brett Boda and
McIntyre each had one and Schulz
dropped in two free throws.
The Bulldogs picked up right
where they left in the second half
of the game, which made for a blow
out in the third quarter.
They started with the ball in
their possession first in the third
quarter. McIntyre fouled and
scored both his shots. Anderson
then stole the ball and made a
lay up. Boda answered back with
a double of his own and McIntyre
followed that up with a steal and
a layup; all of this happened in the
first minute of play.
The Bulldogs led 41-15 by this
time.
Five minutes was off the clock
before the Chiefs scored their first
basket in the second half. They
finished with just four points to
the Bulldogs’ 16.
In the fourth quarter, Draeger
was all over the court with an
unleashed amount of energy. He
drove the ball to the hoop time
after time and made two shots for
the team. McIntyre also put two in
for eight of the team’s 12 points in
the final minutes.
Blackhawk hockey team finishes 1-2 this past week
By Brian Nadeau
The Blackhawk skaters hosted
the Regis/McDonnell Saints last
Tuesday at United Civic Center
in a Middle Border Conference
contest and came away on the
short end of a 7-2 score.
Regis/McDonnell netted the
first seven goals of the game,
including five in the first period,
to put the Blackhawks in a huge
hole early.
The Blackhawks were not
without chances, however, as they
outshot the Saints 34-26 on the
game. The Saints goalie, a highly
regarded player in Wisconsin,
turned aside all but two attempts
by the Hawks.
The Saints added two second
period goals to extend the lead
and go to running time. With the
Blackhawks trailing 7-0 going into
the third period, Mitchell Larson
was able to break the shutout at
12:42 with assists to Luke Meyer
and Gavin Hessler. Eli Stoehr
added a second goal at 16:45 for
the final tally of 7-2. On Friday, the Blackhawks
began a weekend road trip at
Barron as they took on the
Northwest Icemen.
At 4:48 of the first period,
Landon Albrightson scored on the
power play to make it 1-0. He was
assisted by Brandon Connett and
Gavin Hessler.
The Icemen tied it at 1-1 later
in the period, but as has been
the case often this season, the
Blackhawks wasted little time
answering.
Thirty-three seconds later, at
10:54 of the first, Larson made
it 2-1 with an unassisted goal.
In the second period the Hawks
continued solid play and at 6:39
Albrightson scored again making
it 3-1, assisted by Connett.
Noah Lindus scored to make it
4-1 at 11:33 of the second assisted
by Meyer. The Icemen were able
to capitalize on a turnover as the
Hawks were coming out of their
defensive zone, and made it 4-2
at 16:48.
The Blackhawks began the
third on the power play, and
Albrightson netted a hat trick
at 0:18 of the third. Connett and
Hessler assisted on the power
play goal.
The Icemen would score three
goals over the next ten minutes to
tie the game at 5-5 with 6:21 left
to play in the game.
Gavin Hessler delivered the
game-winner at 15:35 and was
assisted by Leo Rasmussen and
Connett.
The Hawks would add an
insurance goal at 15:58 when
Albrightson scored again, assisted
by Connett, and the game would
end with a 7-5 victory.
On Saturday the Blackhawks
continued north to Ashland to take
on the Oredockers. The first period
saw plenty of shots, but only one
goal, which came late in the first
by Ashland.
Entering the second period,
and the Blackhawks trailing 1-0,
Connett scored on the power play

Lady Toppers surging ahead in D-SC conference, defeat Panthers and Cardinals
By Kelsie Hoitomt
The Glenwood City girls
basketball team surged ahead in
the Dunn-St. Croix Conference
standings after two wins this past
week over St. Croix Central and
Spring Valley.
As of this week they were
sitting at third with an 8-3 record
behind Colfax (11-0) and Elk
Mound (10-2).
Road win at SCC
The Toppers started off playing
on the road at Central on Tuesday.
They lost to them earlier in the
season, but redeemed themselves
with a mere five point victory of
50-45.
The game started with the
Toppers down by one with the
score at 10-9 after Jen Kopacz got
the ball rolling with two threes
and then Gabby Peterson sunk
a free throw and had one double.
The Toppers turned things
around in the second and outscored
the Panthers by two points, which
in turn had them leading overall
with the score at 22-21 by the half.
They posted 13 points with
Petersen leading the way with
two doubles and then Moriah
Kuehndorf had a triple, Kopacz
made a double and Maya Petersen
made one free throw.
Making her debut and scoring
for the team with a free throw
and then a double in the second
quarter was Rachel Klatt.
This was her first appearance in
a game this season after suffering
a knee injury last year that was
re-aggravated over the summer.
She was a missed presence
under the net with her rebounding
skills coming into effect
immediately for the team.
Out of the halftime break, the
Toppers played their best offensive
game, which led them to victory
when they outscored the Panthers
20-15.
They shared the ball throughout
the line up with a three from
Kuehndorf and Jenesa Klinger
and then a double from Mikaela
Voeltz and Kopacz.
Petersen drove in two doubles
herself and then it was Morgan
Kadinger that led in points with
two doubles and then she made
two free throws.
By this time the Toppers
were up 42-36, which carried
throughout the fourth quarter and
turned to the five points margin
after they scored eight points to
the Panthers’ nine.
The Toppers made just one shot
from under the net in the final
eight minutes, otherwise it was
all free throw shooting. They had
ten attempts with six making it
through the net.
As a team, they Toppers finished
11 for 18 on free throws made. The
Panthers had 13 of 23 made.
Kopacz led in points with 12
from her three doubles and two
triples. Kuehndorf followed with
nine from two three’s and she was
three for four from the line.
Kadinger finished with her two
doubles and she went four for four
from the line for a total of eight.
Peterson had seven from three
Cardinals’ wings clipped
The Cardinals were blown out
of the water on Friday night with
the Toppers beating them 70-35,
which put Spring Valley’s record
at 0-11 in the D-SC. The Toppers looked great on
the court with a full 32 minutes
of impressive ball played. All
four quarters had over ten points
scored with 11 in the first, 24 in
the second, 12 in the third and 23
in the fourth.
The Toppers trailed by two to
start the game with the score at
13-11 after the first quarter. They
tied the game at 15s with a layup
from Peterson and then a three by
Kuehndorf put them ahead 18-15.
Those two baskets were the
game changer as the Toppers took
the lead and never looked back.
Kuehndorf drained that three
and then hit one double and had
two free throws. Petersen went
four for four from the line and
Peterson also scored four points
from two doubles.
Kadinger had a free throw and
one triple, Voeltz scored a double
and a free throw and Samens
made one shot.
Out of the half, Kopacz took
a shot to the net and then hit a
three. Petersen, Klatt and Klinger
also scored a basket and then

Bulldogs wrestlers throttle Toppers 73-3 on home mat
BOYCEVILLE — As a general
rule, the annual wrestling dual
between rivals Boyceville and
Glenwood City is very competitive with the outcome often determined in the final matches.
When the squads renewed
that rivalry in Boyceville last
Thursday, January 29 it proved
to be the exception.
The Bulldogs, like their previous conference dual against Mondovi a week earlier, won 13 of the
14 matches to blitz the visiting
Hilltoppers, 73 to 3, in front of a
large Parents' Night crowd at the
Boyceville Gymnatorium.
Glenwood City's grapplers
wrestled hard but were continually overwhelmed by their Boyceville counterparts throughout
the dual. The Bulldogs won seven
matches by pins, secured another
four wins with forfeits and had a
technical fall among its baker's
dozen victories.
“The kids wrestled tough tonight,” said Jamie Olson, Boyceville's head coach. “I was really
happy and I know Glenwood is
down a little bit but they have
some tough kids.”

Journal
A column by Mark Walters
Bloomer's "Northland Houndsmen"
For myself I was
Hello friends,
This week and next I will
be writing to you about the
excellent experiences that I had
while trying to fill my bobcat
tag, under the guidance of an
incredible bunch of guys and
gals that call themselves “The
Northland Houndsmen”.
This group that began back
in the late fifties, when there
were not many deer in the area
or coyote or GPS’s; used to load
their hounds in the trunks of
their cars and chase fox.
The unofficial leaders of this
group are Don and Dale Naset,
Robby Turner and several of
the gangs members are Mark
Tomasovich, Mitch Poier, Mark
Pierce, Sonny Marek, Rolly
Naset, Diane Mitchell and I am
sure that I have missed several.
Tuesday, December 30th
High 6, low minus 25
I am basing out of Flater’s
Resort, which is possibly the
coolest place on earth and is
located where the Chippewa and
Flambeau Rivers meet.
This morning long before
daylight my connection to
this group, Mark Tomasovich
(Tomally) picked me up and we
began our job, which like the
four other trucks working the
area, was to find a fresh bobcat
track.
Sounds simple hey, well it is
not. We are working big country
in Rusk and Chippewa Counties,
each driver covers about 15 to
25 miles of remote roads and
much of the time your window
is down or you are getting out
of the truck and trying to figure
out if a track is made by a fisher,
coyote, fox or bobcat.
Generally you see deer
tracks, sometimes they are wolf
or coyote but the most common
thing to remember is when a
deer or coyote lifts its feet there
is a slight drag mark between
tracks. The bobcat does not drag
its feet.
Generally these guys are
hunting coyote and as each
member of the gang works their
stretch of road. They talk on
marine band radios and relay
their info and then a plan is
made on when to meet and
which hounds to put on the
coyote that will be chased.
actually
being honored by a bunch of
guys that did not even know
me. Yesterday and today we
were ignoring coyote and it was
bobcat or nothing, I had the only
“cat/short tail” tag and running
a cat was the only goal.
Two days of frigid temps kept
us from seeing a single cat track!
Wednesday, January 21st
High 34, low 17
Today was the second day of
my second trip to hunt cat! In
the time between hunts we had
to cancel twice. Once because of
frigid temps and blowing snow
that covers all tracks. The other
time because the only snow on
the ground was hard pack that
did not make a track and there
was not much of it.
As usual I am riding shotgun
with Mark Tomasovich in his
2003 Chevy “Avalanche”.
The Avalanche is a beast that
does not get stuck even though
all of Tomally’s buddies want
him to get stuck so they can all
give him a hard time.
There are five trucks on this
hunt and everyone knows that
I have to go home today. Both
today and yesterday it snowed
after midnight, so finding cat
tracks is not at all easy.
There are hounds in the
back of these trucks that go by
the names of Ellwood/Redbone,
Conway/Plott and Sailor a
Walker that I really want to
see hunt.
Each dog is fitted with a GPS
collar and the hunters have
hand held GPS’s in their trucks
that they can track the hounds
once they are on the hunt. The
GPS’s are crucial in keeping
track of the dogs, which helps
to keep them off from private
land, and lets the hunters know
if they are near a road which
helps to avoid catastrophe with
car/hound collisions.
The bobcat season is down
to ten days. I cannot return for
five, the clock is ticking. The
weather forecast is perfect for
cat to move tonight. After a big
day of hunting I have to go home
and be a dad, a KAMO President
and feed cattle. I get home at
8:30! The game is on, to heck
with the five-day wait!

TAX TIPS....
THE NANNY TAX: DON’T OVERLOOK IT
If you have a household employee, the nanny tax rules apply to you. Essentially, a household employee is somebody that does work in or around
your home and is considered an employee. An independent contractor
(such as yard maintenance, housecleaners, and the like who have their
own equipment and supplies, control how the work is done, and perform
similar services for other homeowners) is not your employee and does not
fall under the nanny tax rules. However, if you have a home worker such
as a health aide, private nurse, or caretaker and you control their wages,
hours, and working conditions, they could be considered employees and
could subject you to the nanny tax. The employee/contractor relationship
is sometimes difficult to determine, so don’t hesitate to seek professional
assistance to determine the status of your home worker.
If you determine that you do have a household employee, and you paid
them $1,900 or more in wages in 2014, both you and the employee are
required to pay social security and Medicare taxes (plus any applicable
state employee taxes). Also, make sure that you’re in compliance with
your state minimum wage laws, local worker’s compensation rules, and
that your employee can legally work in the U.S.
If tax withholding is required, you can either do it yourself or engage
the services of a payroll processing company. You can use a simplified
method to pay the taxes (IRS Schedule H) and file with your personal tax
return, but you will still have to deal with state taxes and W-2 forms in an
appropriate manner.
Finally, don’t overlook that wages paid to your household employee can
be the basis for a tax credit on your personal return for the child and dependent care credit.

Lutheran Church in Forest,
Wisconsin. They were blessed with
five children; Steven (1950), Susan
(1951), James (1952), Richard
(1955) and Donald (1958).
In his early married life,
he worked on a farm in New
Richmond and Glenwood City,
ran a machine shop in Glenwood
City and managed a lumber
yard in Clearwater, Florida and
worked for Badger Bituminus
as a foreman for a blacktopping
crew throughout Wisconsin. Later
in 1959 he established Luepke
& Sons Cabinet Shop, which
specialized in building kitchen
and bathroom cabinetry.
Clarence had a natural affinity
for wood and his skills as a
woodworker and carpenter were
legendary. In his later years,
he began woodcarving and he
produced over 150 pieces, many
of which were chosen Grand
Champion at the St. Croix County
Fair. His crowning achievement
was the carving of his own
casket, which was embellished

23rd Psalm. In addition, in his
lifetime, he built four houses, a
timber frame cabin at Richardson
on Lake Magnor, and a family
hunting cabin near Barronett,
Wisconsin. He was a gifted
stone mason and laid up several
fieldstone fireplaces in area homes
and cabins.
Clarence was an avid
outdoorsman and hunter. He
went elk and moose hunting out
west several times with his special
hunting buddies, Scott Teigen and
Ned Hahn. In addition, he enjoyed
a special deer hunting season in
2011 with his four sons and 11

A Year as St. Croix County’s Fairest of the Fair
submitted by Rachel Kromrey,
2014 Fairest of the Fair
My name is Rachel Kromrey,
and I’m proudly representing St.
Croix County as the 2014 Fairest
of the Fair. Being Fairest has come
with its own challenges, as well as
personal growth. Along with being
the official hostess of the St. Croix
County Fair, I’ve attended county
parades and other local events to
promote the Fair. I also competed
at the Wisconsin Association of
Fairs Convention January 4-7 for
the position of Wisconsin Fairest
of the Fairs. Although I was not
crowned, I got a “behind the
scenes” glimpse of county fairs
and was able to walk away with
ideas on how to improve the local
Fairest program and even how
to stay involved with the Fair for
years to come. All in all, it was a
rewarding experience.
At Convention, I competed
with 38 other county Fairest for
the title of Wisconsin Fairest of
the Fairs. As part of the selection
process, we had individual and
group interviews, ate meals
with our judges, answered onstage impromptu questions and
created radio spots promoting our
fair. It was a close competition
- I think it’s appropriate to say
each county was represented
exceptionally well. I would like
to say congratulations to Deanna
Schlies of Brown County on her
victory. I know she will do a
fantastic job representing the fair
industry.
All candidates also participated
in an auction to benefit the
Wisconsin Association of Fairs. I
had an ice fishing themed basket
that sold for $650. Spectrum
Weather and Specialty Insurance
for bought it and the support of the
Donald Heit, chair of the Town
of Dunn.
Several county board members
wondered what the Town of Dunn
intended to do with the museum.
The Empire in Pine Museum
will remain a museum, Heit said.
The Town of Dunn has received
$10,000 that was given to the
township for the museum, he said.
Heit told the county board that
he has met with the Dunn County
Historical Society about sharing
the contents of the museum with
the Town of Dunn but that he
has yet received an answer as to
whether that is possible.
According to a letter dated
January 22 included in the county
board packet, the Dunn County
Historical Society transferred
the title to the Empire in Pine
Museum to Dunn County in June
of 1973, along with all of the
artifacts.
The letter stresses that the sale
of the museum included the land
and buildings but did not include
any of the exhibits, artifacts or
personal property associated with
the museum buildings.
“All such items, to the extent
that Dunn County has possessory
or ownership interest, are hereby
returned to the Historical Society
without any condition and without
further claim on the part of Dunn
County,” the letter reads.
If the Dunn County Historical
Society removes all of exhibits
and artifacts from the Empire in
Pine Museum, the Town of Dunn
“will fill it back up” with other
historical items, Heit said.
The Town of Dunn Board will
be in charge of the museum and
is working on a resolution for
operating the museum, he said.
In the last few years, Dunn
County has paid for handicapped
accessibility for the museum
and for new bathrooms, a new
roof, windows and a fire escape,
Schaefer said.
Fairest program is appreciated.
Also, the following local businesses
donated ice fishing items: B&J Do
It Best Hardware of Somerset,
Glenwood Hardware and Rental
of Glenwood City, and Stockman’s
Farm Supply of Wilson. Your
support is much appreciated!
Although it’s early in the year, I
would like to be the first to invite
everyone to the St. Croix County
Fair in Glenwood City July 15-19.
“From Wagon Wheels to Ferris
Wheels,” we have something for
everyone to enjoy. Also, if you
are interested in being the 2015
Fairest of the Fair, please “like”
our Facebook page at “St. Croix
County Fairest of the Fair” or
contact the program coordinator,
Hannah Ness, at hannah_ness@
hotmail.com for more information.
Hope to see you at the Fair!
Public school open enrollment
application period begins Feb. 2
MADISON — Wisconsin’s
public school open enrollment
application period runs from
Feb. 2 to April 30 for the 2015-16
school year, allowing parents an
opportunity to send their children
to any public school district in the
state.
Traditionally, children in
Wisconsin are assigned to public
school districts based on the
location of their parents’ home.
Open enrollment application is
the only tuition-free opportunity
for most parents to apply for their
children to attend a public school
in a school district other than the
one in which they live.
“Wisconsin’s open enrollment
program has a long history of
providing public school choice.
It is the largest parental choice
program in Wisconsin. I look
forward to working with the
governor and Legislature to
enact the changes I proposed in
my 2015-17 budget that would
improve equity and access to
open enrollment for students with
disabilities and their families,”
said State Superintendent Tony
Evers.
The state’s open enrollment
program is an inter-district
choice program that began in the
1998-99 school year. During the
first years of the program, the
application window was three
weeks. With legislation adopted
for the 2012-13 school year, the
application window expanded to
three months. According to the
Education Commission of the
States, Wisconsin is among 21
states with inter-district open
enrollment.
Under the full-time public
school open enrollment program,
parents may apply during the
Dunn County sells ‘Empire in Pine’ museum to Town of Dunn
By LeAnn R. Ralph
MENOMONIE — The Dunn
County Board has approved selling
the Empire in Pine Museum in
Downsville to the Town of Dunn
for $1.
The resolution for the sale
authorizes the sale of the real
estate, the buildings and the
grounds but not the contents of
the museum, said Nick Lange,
Dunn County corporation counsel,
at the Dunn County Board’s
January 21 meeting.
The Town of Dunn would like
to purchase the museum, and in
the past, Dunn County has sold
other facilities to local units of
government for “local interest”
reasons, said David Schaefer,
county board supervisor from
Menomonie and chair of the
facilities committee.
The people in Downsville and
in the rural areas of the Town of
Dunn want the museum and want
to maintain the museum, said
FAIREST OF THE FAIR — Rachel Kromrey, St Croix County’s
Fairest of the Fair, at this year’s Wisconsin State Fairs Convention in
WI Dells. —photo submitted
Heating and air conditioning
were discussed for the museum,
but there is no money in Dunn
County’s budget this year for
heating and air conditioning, he
said.
“Maybe the Town of Dunn can
do those,” Schaefer said.
“This has been discussed for
many years,” said David Bartlett,
county board supervisor from
Boyceville and the former chair of
the facilities committee.
People in the Town of Dunn
have worked on getting donations
and giving donations for the
museum, Bartlett said.
“ I t’s i mp o rt a n t t o t h e
community. It’s a good thing,”
he said.
The Dunn County Board
unanimously approved the
resolution to sell the Empire in
Pine Museum to the Town of Dunn
for $1.

three-month application period
to the school district they wish
their children to attend. Online
application is encouraged.
Application deadlines are firm.
Early and late applications are
not accepted. Districts will notify
parents by June 5 whether their
open enrollment applications have
been approved or denied. Although
an alternate application procedure
allows parents to apply outside of
the application period, there are
more restrictions associated with
the alternate procedure.
Under the current open
enrollment law, transportation,
in most circumstances, is the
responsibility of the parent.
However, some school districts may
provide partial transportation.
Parents with questions should
call the nonresident school
district office to find out if any
transportation will be provided.
Reimbursement of a portion of
transportation costs is available
for families whose children are
eligible for free or reduced-price
school meals based on federal
income guidelines.
The Department of Public
Instruction provides the following
guidance for parents who wish to
apply for open enrollment.
• Parents are urged to apply
online directly from the open
enrollment website http://oe.dpi.
wi.gov/. The online application will
be available from midnight Feb. 2
until 4 p.m. on April 30.
• Paper applications can be
obtained from the DPI or any
public school district. Paper
application forms must be received
by the nonresident school district
no earlier than Feb. 2 and no
later than 4 p.m. on April 30. A
postmark for paper forms will not
meet the requirement.
• Parents may submit
applications to up to three
nonresident school districts
for each child during the open
enrollment application period.
• Forms must be filled out
completely and accurately. Contact
the local school district office or
the DPI if assistance is needed in
completing the application.
• Parents may request
enrollment in a specific school or
program in the nonresident school
district; however, enrollment in
the requested school or program
is subject to space and other
limitations and is not guaranteed.
• Most students who attended
a nonresident school district
under open enrollment last year
are not required to reapply for
the 2015-16 school year. However,
if the student will be entering
middle school, junior high school,
or high school in the 2015-16
school year, parents should call
the nonresident school district to
find out if reapplication will be
required.
• Parents may apply for
their children to attend 4-yearold kindergarten under open
enrollment only if the resident
school district also offers a 4-yearold kindergarten program for
which the child is eligible.
To assist parents in submitting
open enrollment applications, a
directory of public school districts
is available on the DPI website
at http://dpi.wi.gov/directories.
More information is available
from local school districts or from
an open enrollment consultant at
DPI, (888) 245-2732 (toll-free), or
openenrollment@dpi.wi.gov.
