PSC: Water supply Christmas Parade

plan needs work
on its way Dec. 5
Colby given
six months
to resubmit
By Christian Parker
A three-page document submitted by
city of Colbys engineering firm was rejected last week by the Public Service
Commission (PSC) because it failed
to fulfill the criteria of a water supply
plan required as a condition of the city
adding two new wells to its system.
A Nov. 12 letter sent by Jeff Stone,
PSCs division administrator for water,
telecommunications and consumer affairs, says the report submitted by MSA
Professional Services of Marshfield,
entitled Efficiency and Conservation
Efforts, inadequately covered infor-
mation requested in an Oct. 15, 2014

mandate issued by the PSC for Colbys
$831,000 well construction project.
The city funded the project with the
Wisconsin DNR Safe Drinking Water Loan Program, which offers up to
$500,000 in principle forgiveness funds
for municipal water projects.
The PSC observed in its fact findings
that Colby does not have a long-term
water supply plan for its water utility.
Given that Colby is located in an
area facing extremely difficult water
supply challenges, the commission required a plan to be submitted within 12
months of the date of order as one condition for permission to proceed with
the project.
The wells, numbers 14 and 15, were
already completed earlier this year.
One tenet of the order was consideration of water saving measures, such
as an interconnection with Abbotsford,

Consolidation group asks

municipalities for $1,750
By Kevin OBrien
The seven municipalities exploring a
possible merger of fire and ambulance
services are each being asked to contribute $250 toward an account that will
be used to pay for everything from office
supplies to possible attorneys fees.
All together, the cities of Abbotsford
and Colby, the village of Dorchester and
the towns of Colby, Hull, Mayville and
Holton would put $1,750 into an account
set up by the city of Colby, according to
minutes of the consolidation committees Nov. 17 meeting. Representatives
from each municipality will first need to
get approval from their respective council or board for the contribution.
The requested amount is the first time
the participating entities have been
asked to spend money on the consolidation process, which started at the beginning of this year.
The seven-member consolidation committee also passed a motion to pay Carol
Staab $50 per meeting for serving as its
secretary. Staab has

been volunteering her

to this point.

the proposed fire and
ambulance district could be formed.
Several questions still need to be answered, such as how the district will
handle the cost of maintaining the areas
three fire stations and whether or not it
will bill people for responding to fire calls
and car accidents.
Currently, the city of Abbotsford pays
for the maintenance of its fire hall, while
the Colby and Dorchester fire departments include hall maintenance in their
annual budgets. According to committee

year for the Abbotsford
Christmas Parade, and
over the past year old
floats have been spruced
up, new ones made and
many costumed characters added to the lineup.
This year, the 45th
Annual
Abbotsford
Christmas Parade will
kick off at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5. The event
is always held the first
Saturday in December,
and has never been cancelled because of cold
weather or snow. Over
450 people are needed
to fill costumes, push
and pull floats, control
crowds and work behind the scenes. Thousands of
spectators
line the street, dressed
warmly, to enjoy the parade magic.
Unlike most parades,
there is no advertising
allowed in the parade.
Local businesses support the parade by donating the raffle prizes,
sponsoring advertising
and selling raffle tickets. Each year funds
are raised through the
raffle to make new floats
and costumes and pay
parade expenses. All labor is donated.
The grand prize is a

A broken clock
In a well functioning democracy, the majority of people
get what they want. They elect leaders who put in place
programs and policies they support. If they dont like
their government, the people pick new leadership. But
what happens when democracy starts falling apart? You
get Wisconsin.
A recent Marquette Law School poll of Wisconsin residents documents that large majorities of people are angry
with the government theyve elected. Here, people have an
ugly outlook when it comes to stuff like government, jobs
and politicians.
Sixty-nine percent of people told Marquettes pollsters
that government ignores the interests of hardworking
Americans. The same percentage said the income difference among Americans is too big. Eighty-four percent of
those polled said government is run by a few big interests. Maybe thats why only 31 percent of people in the
Marquette poll approve of the current Republican-controlled state legislature. Only 38 percent approve of Gov.
Scott Walker.
Economics likely plays a culprit in all of this unhappiness. Earlier this year, the Pew Trust concluded that
Wisconsins middle class was bruised the worst among
50 states during the Great Recession. The share of Wisconsin households who rated middle class status (with
incomes between $34,000 and $103,000) dropped from 55
percent in 2000 to 49 percent as of 2013.
People here dont necessarily see things turning around
soon. Fifty-seven percent of people in the Marquette poll
said Wisconsin is lagging the nation when it comes to job
creation. The same percentage, according to a Wisconsin
Public Radio poll taken this year, feels Wisconsin is headed in the wrong direction.
Clearly, Wisconsin is in a dark, foul mood.
Partly, this has to do with the economy, the middle class
squeeze and the job situation. Yet, it also reflects a frustration with politics to make things better. People dont see
a way forward. There is a basic problem with Wisconsin
democracy. It is a national problem, really. It is that poor
people, those hurt most by the economic downturn, have
stopped voting. The result is democracy off the rails.
The Pew Research Center reported in January that
where 63 percent of the most financially secure Americans were likely to vote, only 20 percent of the least financially secure were. Wisconsin follows that trend. The top
wealthiest counties in Wisconsin are Ozaukee, Waukesha,
Dane, St. Croix and Washington. The voter turnout of
those counties in the 2012 presidential election were, respectively, 84, 81, 80, 74 and 78 percent. Wisconsins poorest five counties are Rusk, Florence, Clark, Ashland and
Menomonee. The voter turnout in these counties in 2012
was, again respectively, 63, 73, 56, 68 and 48 percent.
You get the picture. Wealthy people in Wisconsin vote.
Poor people dont and, in their apathy, they lose political
power. That changes the whole political game. Republicans, allies of the affluent, gain disproportionate power.
Democrats, champions of the poor, are marginalized.
All kinds of consequences (some quite strange) cascade
from these developments. It means Republicans must be
schizophrenic. They must do the bidding of the affluent,
who regularly vote, but also the near poor, who need to distinguish themselves from their disgraced, poor brethren
(those people) who qualify for welfare. Thus, a Republican will support tax cuts for the wealthy, but also property
tax cuts for the common man. Its all justified by demanding drug tests for Food Share recipients. Republicans, too,
must protect their political advantage. Thus it is imperative that voting be restricted. Districts are gerrymandered
and barriers, such as Photo ID, are put in place. Campaign
finance laws are gutted and, as we saw recently, even government watchdog agencies are beheaded.
Democrats, too, must become schizophrenic. Although
they say they support the poor, they must do the bidding
of the wealthy to stay relevant.The result is both political
parties become wedded to the status quo, beholden to the
minority of affluent people who are doing well. The poor
are punished and humiliated. Economic reform to help
the poor, but also the majority of people, dies.
The potential consequences of these new realities are
chilling. People like to think of politics like a grandfather
clock. The pendulum swings back and forth. But what
happens when the pendulum gets stuck on one side?
Tragically, the clock breaks.

Still a lot to

Five years ago, I filled this weekly column space with a short list of the things
I was thankful for at that time in my life.
With Thanksgiving making its annual

and how much hasnt.
I was happy to see that, of the six items
I mentioned, all but one of them is still

down of the other
five things on the
list, with some all-important updates:
Family: Like most people, this is number one on my list, then and now. In 2010, I

to my family since then. My grandfather
passed away in January of this year, but
he was around long enough to meet my
brothers second child, Morgan, and my
wife, Linda both of whom entered my
life since that 2010 column. Linda now
holds a special spot on my list, along with
the amazing family she brought with her.
Friends: Back in 2010, I raved about
how many Happy Birthday comments
I got on Facebook, seeing it as proof that
I have friends near and far. Ive added a
couple since then, and a few others have
faded into the past, but I think the charm
of Facebook has worn off a little since
2010. I value face-to-face friendships even
more in the era of social media.
Health: Having just reached the age
of 31 in 2010, I complained about my sore
back and not being able to eat as much
as I once did. Ill have to admit those two
issues havent really gotten much better,
as I continue to consume food like Im
20-years-old and then wonder why my aging back cant handle the extra load up
front. Overall, though, Im still happy to
not have any major illnesses or injuries.
This job: With the Great Recession
casting a dark shadow over the economy, I was particularly grateful to have
this job or any job in 2010. Im still
very grateful, and can easily repeat this
phrase from back then: I have a great
job working for great people, and my coworkers arent too shabby either.
Coffee: Though I miss the pumpkin
brickle latt at the now-closed City Brew
in Colby, pumpkin spice has only gotten
more popular. Plus, now I have Keurig
that gets me out of bed in the morning.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and
dont forget to update your own lists.

I spoke too soon, because as we were leaving a friends

driveway, my wife complained that the brake pedal had
gone completely soft. The brake lines had blown.
Long story short, my wife and brother-in-law spent the
day Sunday repairing the brake lines on the Jeep, still
stranded in the friends Wausau driveway.
Going into the new week, the Jeep was back on the
road and faithfully served me in getting to work. My wife
walked, but she only lives a couple blocks from work. I

Today I got my Honda back with new timing belt,
tensioner, water pump and v-belts. It is no worse for the
wear. Fingers crossed.
Remember, no matter whats going on in life, it always
could be worse and many people have it worse. Its an important lesson to always be thankful for what we have.

to go the route of look-at-my-wordly-problems-and-pretend-you-actually-care-about-the-goings-on-of-my-personal-life. I believe there are
usually much more important pieces of thought-provoking conversations to have than endless needy self-absorbed banter. It is the narcissist who looks in the mirror and takes great pleasure in what he sees.
Thats what Facebook is for. However, with that said, I just must share
the spectacular auto trouble our household has experienced in the past
week.
Last Wednesday, as I was pulling into the parking lot at work, I heard
a shanking sound coming from under the hood of my Honda. At over
200,000 miles, I dont expect perfection, but this was ridiculous. It
sounded like a diesel engine running in a tin pan full of loose coins.
When I gave it a rev, it sounded like something was going to bust free
and spin off to Mars.
So, at 10 p.m., I went to the press room and borOLD HAT
rowed a large wrench to use as a makeshift stethoscope. With engine running, I put my ear to the
HOUGHT
wrench and touched it to various organs in the
vital area of my cars engine. When I touched it
to the timing cover, the horrid grating was transferred to my ear.
This had me worried because, as everybody
knows, Hondas have interference valves, which
means if the timing belt breaks, the engine is
probably toast.
So, I nursed the car home and thankfully made
the trip without incident. My faithful mechanic in
Marshfield was able to look at the car the next day
BY
despite his heavy hunting/Thankgiving workload. Sure enough, he found the tensioner on the
CHRISTIAN
timing belt was shot and the whole works would
PARKER
need replacement.
REPORTER
Chapter two is the one where Im driving my old
almost-trusty 1995 full-sized Dodge creeper van.
Pulling in about eight miles to the gallon, the van and I slurped gas to
and from work for a day and a half. I locked myself out of the vehicle at
the mall and had to break in - no big deal.
On day two, there was a dragging and grinding sound from the back
of the van and I thought the tired rear axle was finally failing. It turned
out to be a flat tire - could have been worse.
My moms car took me to and from a couple of meetings until I could
fix the flat on the van the following day.
With the van back on the road I made my 20 mile commute without
incident, at first. On the way home Friday, the van began vibrating as
it ran on seven, six and fewer cylinders. When the check engine light
came on (no doubt triggered by an engine misfire), I knew that old
worn out fuel pump was about to go.
Again, I limped and puttered into town, and just barely made it home.
Now our household was down to its last remaining vehicle: my wifes
Jeep Cherokee with 350,000 miles on the odometer. (Yes, you read that
correctly.) On a trip to Wausau to celebrate my brother-in-laws birthday, I remarked at how well the old girl was holding up.

COLBY-ABBOTSFORD POLICE LOG

Nov. 11 - An officer met
with a teenager in Colby who
said she wants to return to
Mexico. She said her mothers
boyfriend kicked her out of the
house, and she doesnt feel safe
living with her father because
he has a bunch of young men
staying at his house. The officer brought her to Colby High
School and put her in contact
with the school counselor. He
explained the situation so that
the school could contact social
services and possibly arrange
for a foster home.
Two days later, the school
requested truancy charges
against the teen and provided
documentation showing that
she has not been attending
class. The officer sat in on a
meeting with the teen and her
mother, and a translator was
used to explain why the teen
needs to attend school.
with an Abbotsford family in
reference to a neighbor driving his unregistered motorcycle across their property. The
complainants said they have
told him to stop driving on
their property, but he continues to do it.
The officer went to the
neighbors house and met with
the operators father, who said
his son was out riding the motorcycle. The officer confirmed
that the son has a valid drivers license, but the motorcycle
is not registered. The officer
told the father that he needs to
speak to his son about the trespassing allegation.
Nov. 15 - An officer responded to a report of a dog
running loose on the east side
of Abbotsford. The officer located a large white dog with a
collar and harness. The officer
could see where the dog had
chewed off the rope connected
to the harness. Just as the officer was bringing the dog to the
city pound, the owner called
and arranged to pick it up.
The owner was advised to get
a chain instead of a rope so the
dog doesnt get loose again.
with a Colby woman in reference to a criminal damage
complaint at her house. The
woman showed the officer
where someone appeared to
have kicked the door leading
into her garage, causing the
door casing to break. The officer saw scuff marks but no
identifiable tread marks.

The complainant said the
door was OK when she went
to bed the night before, and
her roommate noticed the
damage when he went to
work at around 6:45 a.m. that
morning. She said their cars
were parked in the driveway,
so whoever did it must have
known they were at home.
She checked the garage and
nothing was missing. She had
a suspect in mind but did not
want to accuse anyone without
proof.
Nov. 18 - An officer was
on patrol in Abbotsford when
he noticed a vehicle with a defective brake light traveling
north on North Fourth Street.
The officer conducted a traffic
stop and met with the driver,
who identified herself with a
Mexican ID card. The officer
explained the reason for the
stop and when he asked her for
a drivers license, she said she
didnt have one.
The officer ran the drivers
name through dispatch, which
showed she had an active warrant and three prior convictions for operating a motor vehicle without a valid license.
The driver was taken into
custody and transported to the
police station. A passenger in
the vehicle followed them to
the station and posted the $539.
The driver was cited for
operating without a valid license, third-plus violation,
and warned about driving
with a defective brake light
and without insurance.
Nov. 18 - An officer was on
patrol in Abbotsford when he
observed a man sitting outside
a gas station that was closed
for the day. The officer recognized him as the same man
Clark County deputies spoke
to earlier in the night following a report of someone walking along STH 13. The man
said he had just walked all the
way from Medford after delivering a semi to a business in
that city. He said his ride never
showed up and his own vehicle
is parked at the Central Wisconsin Airport, so he started
walking. He said he was soaking wet and his hips were sore
from walking, so he decided to
sit at the gas station until he
could get hold of a ride.
The officer gave him a ride
to a gas station that was still
open so he could get warmed
up and wait for a ride inside.

dispatched to an Abbotsford
apartment building after a
woman called 911 and said
there were intruders in her
apartment. The caller said she
was hiding under the bed. The
officer arrived within minutes
of the call but did not see anyone outside the building, nor
were the lights on in the apartment.
The officer knocked on the
apartment door and had dispatch tell the caller to come to
the door. He met with a woman
who appeared to be under the
influence of something. The
officer searched the apartment
and no one else was found. The
woman said she is on a lot of
medication and the side effects
include hallucinations and
sleepwalking. She insisted she
heard and saw other people.
The woman said she had a
doctors appointment later
that day, and she was instructed to tell her doctor about this
incident so that maybe her
medications could be changed.
dispatched to a Colby residence in reference to a missing 72-year-old woman. He met
with a man who said his wife
had gone to fire up their wood
stove when he went to bed at 10
p.m., but when he woke up at
around 3:30 a.m., she was not
in the house. He said he went
outside, and the garage door
was closed and locked. He also
checked the area but could not
find her.
A Clark County deputy arrived on scene and went to
check the neighbors house
while the officer searched the
outbuildings and yard area.

and her birth certificate from

their house. She left a written
message saying she was going back to Mexico with her
boyfriend. The family did not
know who the boyfriend was
or when they had broken into
the house. Due to a miscommunication, the mother left before the officer returned with
paperwork to list her daughter
as a runaway. The officer told
the womans son that he would
be back the following morning
to fill out the paperwork.
Nov. 21 - Marathon County requested assistance with
an active intruder call in the
town of Hull, about two miles
outside city limits. The caller
said a man wearing a green
army jacket knocked on the
rear door of her residence
and when she opened it, she
was pushed backward and fell
down the stairs into her basement. She said her two dogs
attacked the intruder, and she
was now lying on the basement floor, unable to get up.
The caller said her dogs were
with her, but she was not sure
where the intruder was at this
point.
As the officer approached
the residence, the only vehicle
he passed along the way was
a mail delivery truck with
someone inside wearing a
red coat. When he arrived, he
found the victim lying on the
basement floor with her two
dogs. Dispatch advised that
an ambulance was en route. A
Marathon County deputy arrived and helped the officer secure the dogs and tend to the
victim. Once the ambulance
arrived, the officer helped a
second deputy search an unattached garage before clearing
the scene.

The complainant also called a

checked the area, dispatch reported that the complainant
called and said his wife left a
message on their answering
machine. She had locked herself out of the house and was
unable to wake her husband
up by knocking on the door,
so she went to the neighbors
house for the night.
Nov. 20 - An officer went
to Colby High School to discuss a students ongoing truancy issue. According to the
students mother and aunt,
the teen has been lying to everyone and moving around to
different locations to avoid going to school for the past two
years. The mother said she
leaves for work before school,
and her daughter wont listen
to her about going to class. She
suggested providing the school
staff a house key and giving
them permission to come to
her house and take her daughter to school.
The officer said the school
should not have to waste time
getting the student to attend
school. He said the police
need to be contacted when she
doesnt show up so they can issue truancy charges. The court
system can then officially order her to attend and have her
arrested if she doesnt comply.
The court could also place her
in secure detention and make
sure she goes to school.
The officer could see the
student was visibly upset by
what he was saying, but her
relatives all agreed with the officers plan.

Appeals court: Towns fire fee is legit

County board to
decide next step
By Kevin OBrien
Clark Countys board of supervisors
will have to decide at their next meeting
if they want to ask the state Supreme
Court to review an appeals court ruling
issued earlier month that says the county
must pay the town of Hoard a fire protection fee as the owner of a health care center located in the township.
In a Nov. 12 decision, Wisconsins
District 4 Court of Appeals rejected the
countys argument the fee is actually a
tax and that a fee can only be charged
when firefighting services are actually
rendered. The decision affirmed a ruling
by Clark County Circuit Court Judge Jon
Counsell, who granted Hoards request
for summary judgement in February.
Clark County corporation counsel Jacob Brunette said Monday the board will
likely meet in closed session at its Dec. 9
meeting to weigh its options for seeking a
supreme court review.
Im not sure what Im going to recommend at this point, he said. There are
pros and cons to every case.

The county argued that Hoards fee
is really a tax, and counties are exempt
from such taxation under state law. The
township contends it followed state law
in setting a written fee schedule for assessing charges against property to raise
the necessary funds to equip and man a
fire department.
The town of Hoard filed suit against
Clark County in July 2014 after the county refused to pay that years fire protection bill of $3,328.
The appeals court agreed with the
township, citing case law that defines the
difference: The primary purpose of a
tax is to obtain revenue for the government, while the primary purpose of a
fee is to cover the expense of providing
a service...
Hoards annual contribution to the
Owen-Withee-Curtiss Fire Department
was $24,500 in 2014, and the town boards
ordinance divides that expense among
all property owners based on a formula
that takes into account square footage
and use of the property.
The appeals court was satisfied the fee
would only be used to cover the actual
cost of fire protection and not be used
to raise revenue for local government,
which would make it a tax.
In its appeal of Counsells decision, the

county ignored the legal criteria for distinguishing between a tax and a fee and
wrongly interpreted case law, the appeals
court ruled.
The appeals court also agreed with
Counsell in saying the county relied on
outdated statutory language to back its
assertion that it should only have to pay
for fire services rendered, not just services made available.
Prior to 1988, state statutes only allowed townships to assess a fee for fire
calls made to the property, while current law allows fees to be charged for the
cost of fire protection provided.
Brunette argued that the changes in
statutory language did not amount to
change in how fees can be assessed, but
the appeals court disagreed. The difference between fire calls made and fire
protection provided is significant, the
court reasoned.
The presence of a fire district standing by ready to extinguish fires constitutes a fire protection service for which
a service fee may be assessed, the court
concluded.
In addition to the $3,328 and any applicable interest, Counsell ordered the
county to pay the townships costs incurred in the litigation.
When asked about a figure published

in the Nov. 21 Marshfield News-Herald,
Brunette confirmed that $14,400 is what
the county has paid the law firm of Weld,
Riley, Prenn and Ricci for assistance
with the town of Hoard issue.
However, he noted that the legal bills
date back to 2011 when the township first
passed an ordinance related to a fire protection fee.
Its not strictly limited to the lawsuit,
he said. Its well before that.
Town of Hoard chairman Bob Bruger
said $18,000 an amount cited in the
News-Herald was close to what the
township has paid the Madison law firm
of Axley Brynelson to handle the case.
However, both Bruger and Brunette said
the township will likely only recoup a
fraction of that amount from the county.
Bruger said the towns attorney told
him the courts dont generally order
one government entity to pay another to
cover all of its legal costs, regardless of
which one wins.
Its all taxpayer money, no matter how
you look at it, Bruger said.
Bruger called the countys decision to
appeal Counsells decision frivolous.
The county was just wrong in appealing it, he said.
Proposed Bus. 29 truck ban stalls in committee

By Kevin OBrien
A proposal to prohibit heavy
truck traffic on the west end of
Business 29 in Abbotsford came
to a quick stop last week when
members of the citys public
works committee couldnt agree
to send the recommendation to
the full council.
The proposal stalled at a 2-2
vote following a debate over
whether cutting off that stretch
of road to semis would truly improve pedestrian safety in the
area just south of Abbotsfords
schools. Alds. Joanna Mediger and Roger Weideman voted
against the proposal while Alds.
Peter Horacek and Bob Gosse
voted for it.
DPW Craig Stuttgen brought
the idea to the committee as
one way of achieving the goals
in a Safe Routes to School plan
adopted by the council earlier
this year. He said the plan also
includes longer term proposals
to extend the sidewalk on the
south side of Business 29 all
the way to Fourth Avenue and
to put in a traffic signal at the
crosswalk with a push button
for walkers to use.
Stuttgen said exemptions
could be granted for heavy
trucks making local deliveries,
but in general, he said semis entering or leaving the city from
Heavy traffic doesnt help

it at all, thats for sure, he responded.
Mediger told Stuttgen to come
back to the committee at its next
meeting with a better argument for closing West Business
29 to truck traffic.
Slight rate hike expected
SAFE ROUTE? - This picture from the Nov. 12, 2104 TribunePhonograph was passed around to Abbotsford city council members last week. It shows a semi that slid off the roadway on Business 29 at the intersection with Fourth Avenue, which is part of the

the west should use the exit at
STH 13.
Theres really no reason for
them to be there (Business 29),
he said. Theres a state highway a mile away.
Mediger, however, said Business 29 West would be a major
road to cut off to truck traffic.
Though she agreed traffic safety
is an issue for those using the
crosswalk at Fourth Avenue
and Business 29, she said more
focus needs to be on passenger
vehicles that speed through the
intersection.

The public works committee took no action on a request

by the owner of Rodeway Inn to
add a streetlight on Elderberry
Road. Stuttgen said the owner,
Ralph Hlavin, told him some
of the truck drivers who stay
at the hotel have to park on the
street overnight because they
cant fit all of their vehicles in
the parking lot. Stuttgen said it
would cost anywhere from $300
to $1,900 to put a new pole there.
Hlavin was not at the meeting to
discuss his request.

than the trucks, she said.

Rerouting heavy truck traffic
to the STH 29 interchange would
also make the traffic problems
worse at those traffic lights.
It takes three cycles to get
one semi through there, she
said.
Stuttgen noted that fully loaded semi trucks probably take
three times as much distance to
come to a stop than regular cars
and trucks do.
Mediger asked Stuttgen about
the impact heavy trucks have on
the road condition of Business
29.
With work continuing to

progress ahead of schedule at
the citys new sewer treatment
plant, utility director Todd
Medenwaldt told the water and
sewer committee hes hoping
the city can start using the new
facility in February or March.
I really feel by the end of the
year well see a nice-looking
sewer plant, but it wouldnt be
totally done by December, he
said. The deadline for Miron
Construction to complete the
project isnt until the end of
June, however.
City clerk Jennifer Lopez
said the project looks like it
will come in underneath the $9
million budget and the citys
sewer utility has about $600,000
in reserves to help offset any increase in sewer rates.
Lopez said she anticipates a
hike of less than $5 per month
for the average user, but Medenwaldt preferred to just say
it would be a slight increase
rather than put a number on it.
One question that remains to

be answered is how much the
new plant will cost to operate
compared to the citys current
40-year-old facilities.
Medenwaldt said the city
should see a drop in some costs.
The old plant is just not efficient when it comes to energy,
he said.
So far, the city has spent
$688,000 of its own money for
the new plant and it has qualified for a USDA Rural Development grant and loan package.
Sewer rates were last increased in 2013 by 72 percent, so
revenues have increased significantly in recent years.
We raised the rates in anticipation of this project, Mediger
noted.

plus detailed analysis of this and other
conservation measures the city plans
to implement.
The water supply plan is supposed
to document the utilitys projected
future customer demands, separated
by customer class, and supply source
options to meet these demands, according to the order. A description of
Colbys efforts to form a water interconnection with Abbotsford is one possibility the order states repeatedly as
an option.
Abby Bernhagen, engineer in training with MSA, said the efficiency and
conservation report was the first of its
kind their office has submitted for a
municipal well project. Bernhagen has
been working with project engineer
Mike Voss on PSC compliance for Colbys well project.
Last weeks letter from the PSC references a 2006 water master plan supply
submitted by the city of Platteville by
the Baraboo MSA office.
Plattevilles plan, which is roughly 60
pages in length, satisfies the terms of a
water supply plan, except for conservation and efficiency measures, the letter
states.
A plan like Plattevilles shouldnt be
necessary, Bernhagen said. She added
that a detailed report was submitted as
part of Colbys original construction
authorization in June 2014.
Furthermore, she said for MSA to
build a plan for the city of Colby in the
size and scope of Plattevilles, there
would be additional time needed for
the project, which would likely add to
the overall costs. She did not have cost
estimates available but said the figures
would need to be determined by Voss
and MSA finance personnel.
Bernhagen speculated the PSC is
looking for more information on future growth in terms of water usage,
but as of Nov. 16, she was waiting to

hear back from voicemails left with
representatives of the bureaucracy.
She has been in contact with engineers
at MSAs Baraboo office regarding the
Platteville report.
The letter from Stone states that an
outline for a new water supply plan
must be submitted by Nov. 26 and the finalized plan must be submitted within
six months.
Reached by phone last week, representatives from the PSC provided some
information as to the requirements
lacking in Colbys water supply plan.
Denise Schmidt, PSC water supply
policy advisor, said the outline is supposed to be a list of discussion items to
make sure the new plan satisfies all the
requirements of the PSCs order.
We want to see how the utility is integrated into the overall community,
Schmidt said.
The plan, according to Stone, is also
to foster long-term planning for a utility.
Its about getting the water utility
to keep looking to the future to optimize water resources, he said. Also,
through doing that, were protecting
the consumers by keeping rates manageable.
The PSC has estimated Colby would
need to raise water rates by 30 percent
as a result of the well project. At this
time, however, the city has no plans to
increase water rates, according to the
original report.
Last January, city clerk Connie
Gurtner said the city wouldnt need to
borrow money or raise water rates because the $300,000 balance due after the
grant portion would be paid for with
TIF funds, an arrangement she said the
PSC did not know about at the time.
Schmidt said as a result of 2012
regulations, the PSC requires munici-

palities in areas with limited water
resources to establish a water supply
plan as a condition for the authority to
raise rates or establish new wells.
Its very system specific, she said,
And very much based on available
supply.
After Colbys application for adding
the wells, we did an investigation and
found no document that offered a water
supply plan for the future, Stone said.
Were trying to protect both natural
and financial resources, especially in
areas where water resources are more
pressed, like here.
Bernhagen submitted an outline for
a water supply plan on Nov. 19. The out-

Grace Charlotte Riplinger Harvey, age 99, died on

Nov. 14 in Nashville, Tenn. Born in Osborne (later
called Riplinger), Wisconsin, on Sept. 30, 1916, she was
tennis champion of her high school in Colby. Upon
graduation from high school, she took medical training in Minneapolis, and worked in a charity hospital
in Texas and several doctors ofces. She returned to
school and graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a bachelors degree in zoology. She was also a
member of the AAUW (American Association of University Women). From there, she attended the University of Chicago, then worked on the Manhattan Project
during World War II, conducting radium research and
translating research papers written by Marie Curie
and others from French to English for the project. After her marriage to Air
Force Captain Ray W. Harvey in 1944, and following World War II, they moved to
Louisiana, where he attended college at LSU on the GI bill and she was enrolled
as a graduate student in zoology, taught invertebrate zoology and did genetics
research. She and her husband moved to Indiana where he attended Purdue
University, studying aeronautical engineering, and she worked in a medical lab.
Upon moving to middle Tennessee in the 1950s where Mr. Harvey was employed at A.E.D.C., and as the mother of three children, she became an avid
volunteer in the community. It was her lifelong goal to enrich and bring up
standards of living in any community. She did this by starting the rst public
library in Manchester, so all children could share in the joys, beauty and intellectual enrichment of books. Prior to that, only the wealthy families in the town
borrowed books from one another. She also was on the the PTA and, working
with the national PTA organization and the Coffee County School Board, spearheaded the hiring of teachers trained at Columbia Teachers College and Peabody College in Nashville for Coffee County Schools to bring up the quality of
education in this small town. She was also instrumental in the building of the
rst hospital in Manchester, which now serves the larger region. An Episcopalian, she was one of a group of people who started St. Bedes Episcopal Church
in Manchester, where she was also the organist and choirmaster. The family
moved to Sewanee, where Mrs. Harvey was a librarian at St. Lukes Theology
Library at the University of the South from 1968 1997, when she retired at age
70. After that, she enjoyed traveling with her husband, as well as many bridge
games, concerts, lectures and friends at the university.
She is survived by her son, Ray W. Harvey, Jr., of Nashville, Tenn.; her daughter, Katherine H. Garneau, of Tampa, Fla.; four grandchildren, Chad, MaryGrace, Rebecca and Matthew; and three great-grandchildren, Kylie, Tobi and
Efe. She is predeceased by three siblings, Vernetta, Lorraine and Ben; her
husband, Ray, and her son, Paul. Visitation will be from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. on
Nov. 19, 2015, at Otey Memorial Parish Hall in Sewanee, Tenn. Services will be
held at Otey Memorial Episcopal Church at 2:30 p.m., followed by interment at
University of the South Cemetery in Sewanee. Moore-Cortner Funeral Home
of Winchester is assisting the family. Condolences may be sent online to www.

No resolution on cemetery issue

By Christian Parker
In an effort to avoid a court fight, the
Colby Common Council and the Colby
Memorial Cemetery Association met
jointly last Wednesday with attorneys
present to discuss an ongoing dispute
about cemetery funding and board representation issues.
City of Colby attorney Dean Dietrich
recently sent a letter to Tom Harnisch,
Colby Memorial Cemetery Association
(CMCA) attorney, stating a desire for the
two groups to meet and attempt to iron
out differences. Harnisch returned correspondence Nov. 11 with an outline for
the discussion points.
The two groups convened together at
the town of Colby town hall. The city of
Colby posted the meeting with a consideration for a closed session exemption,
but the groups both remained in open
session for the duration of the discussion.
Harnisch gave a brief overview of his
point of view on the matter as stated
in his letter to Dietrich and the terms
the CMCA asked guide the dialogue. He
posed the question: If the city of Colby is
serious about leaving CMCA, how is the
Colby Memorial Cemetery to be funded
in the future? He also asked if the city
wants to remain in the association, how
will its payment of deficit costs be handled?
Harnisch also asked the city to provide
ideas for the short and long term maintenance and repair of the cemetery, but
said CMCA is not interested in discussing bylaw changes
or
governance
and representation matters at
this time.
P r e v i o u s l y,
Colby
mayor
Jim Schmidt requested
board
representation on
CMCA to be proportionate to the
amounts paid by
Shane
the city of Colby,
Graffunder
and the towns of
Colby and Hull as
a condition for remaining with the association.
We proposed a change and the council was ready to vote on a $3 per person
amount in August if the city could have
more representation, but by the time of
our meeting, the proposal was changed,
Schmidt said.
The joint meeting was an effort proposed by the attorneys as a last ditch effort to avoid court litigation. In August,
CMCA voted to authorize Harnisch to file
for a writ of mandamus with the Clark
County Court to legally uphold the city

of Colbys financial
and ownership liabilities for the cemetery.
Harnisch
gave
a timeframe of 60
days for the city of
Colby to respond
prior to pursuing legal action. Dietrich
Tom
said the process was
halted and the city
Harnisch
did not respond to
Harnisch promptly
because his mother passed away in August.
Dietrich expressed his interest in
avoiding a legal solution to the conflict.
The words lawsuit and litigation
have been used on both sides, and I really
dont see the value to that, he said. Litigation should be the last way to resolve
issues.
However, Dietrich also expressed his
doubts about coming to a resolution.
Truthfully, though, I dont know if
both sides are going to be able to come to
an agreement, he said. To be candid,
Im pretty pessimistic about it.
At issue is the citys payment of current and back fees for its share of costs
for Colby Memorial Cemetery. In 2012
CMCA voted to change payment from an
even three-way split between the municipalities to one based on population, leaving the city with 55 percent of the cost
because of its bigger population.
Schmidt said when the citys proposal
to change board representation based on
payment percentages was glossed over,
the city left the group.
Harnisch and CMCA believe the city
has legal and financial obligations to the
cemetery and cannot just leave because,
by state law, the town of Colby (where the
cemetery is located) has no way to leave
the cemetery. The law states an abandoned cemetery is the responsibility of
its host municipality.
As such, CMCAs stance is that the
township of Hull and the city of Colby
are obligated to the partnership theyve
maintained since approximately 1904.
Dietrich repeatedly refused to partake
in a dialogue about the city recognizing
its legal responsibilities until CMCA
members offered future cost projections
for the cemetery.
The cemeterys annual upkeep budget
currently runs a deficit of $12,000 after
about $8,000 interest is collected from the
perpetual care fund. This amount, according to CMCA trustees, doesnt factor
in any improvements or extensive stone
straightening.
Thats just the bare minimal maintenance, town of Hull
chairman Shane Graffunder said.

ing to state law, the cost of the cemetery

shall be shared in a fair and equitable
manner.
The words fair and equitable dont necessarily mean that much, Dietrich said,
because its all in the eye of the beholder.
Further, he said the statute addresses
funding, but not governance, which is the
citys issues with the matter.
Thats where the heartache comes,
he said.
The attorneys both said a voting structure could be formulated which would
use a majority vote on some issues and
a weighted vote on others. For example,
Harnisch said expenses could be voted on
in a different manner than revenues.
Both groups voiced concerns over financial circumstances being changed by
those with a voting majority.
Your governance argument doesnt
make any sense if you can turn the equity argument on its ears by having a majority vote, Harnisch said.
Graffunder expressed frustration with
the discussion.
We share a fire department and we
just passed a $146,000 budget, he said.
Now were sitting here arguing over
$15,000, which is peanuts. Really?
Dietrich wondered if the two different sides could move beyond their past
histories. Harnisch noted that the cemetery association has existed since 1904.
Whats at question is how do we
keep the cemetery
so it is attractive
to all? he said.
One of the ways
is to have adequate
funding.
CMCA voted in
March to build a
mausoleum. Dietrich said if the city
of Colby is paying
Jim
the largest porSchmidt
tion of cemetery
expenses,
they
will be stuck with having to pay for this
and other expenditures they do not approve of. Oehmichen countered that the
mausoleum will be funded by first selling
half the units to pay for the project before
construction begins.
Dietrich said the next step is for the
City of Colby common council to discuss
the matter in closed session. He said after the city is able to discuss the matter
further, they will report back to Harnisch
and the CMCA with a proposal.
We have to move pretty quick one way
or the other, Harnicsh said. If the proposal you make is similar to the one that
you made two years ago, then it appears
to me that were dancing round robin at
the barn.
Toward the end of the meeting, Oehmichen spoke directly to Colbys city council.
This has been a very coherent group
over the 20 years Ive been on this board
and I have no doubt that can continue in
the future, he said.
CLIP-N-SAVE
Due to city snow removal, there will be no

parking on city streets from 2:30 a.m. 6:00 a.m.,
effective immediately until April 15, 2016. All
violators will be prosecuted.
Its going to be
an ongoing thing,
Oehmichen
said.
Just to throw a
number out there - I
cant tell you a number.
I dont mean to
be obstructionist,
Dietrich responded,
but there is no way
for us to say well
Dean
pay for costs in the
future if we dont
Dietrich
know what those
costs are. That was
the question posed.
Interest generated by the principal
in the perpetual care fund was once adequate to cover cemetery maintenance
and upkeep. As interest rates fell and remained low, it became necessary to seek
more funds from the three partner municipalities to cover the difference. The
balance in the perpetual care fund is currently $150,000.
Harnisch said he has been unable to
find case law in Wisconsin where a municipality has left a cemetery partnership.
If theres been somewhere this had
happened, we would have gone to them
and asked, How did it work out when
somebody left the party? Harnisch said.
We just dont have a history of anybody
leaving the ship.
When the city initially stated its intentions to leave CMCA, Oehmichen said he
had professional assistance drawing up a
buyout amount for the city. The formula
started with the existing cemetery lots,
amortizing an amount from the 1910 census and calculating inflation. He determined a buyout amount of $310,000.
You write us out a check for that
amount, well put it in the perpetual care
fund and then the citys out, Oehmichen
said.
Dietrich says that since the perpetual
care fund has accumulated payments
from all three municipalities throughout
the course of the partnership, it should
be adequate to handle the costs of operating the cemetery.
Harnisch countered that, by precedent,
if the town of Hull were to take the city
of Colbys position and leave CMCA, the
responsibility for the cemetery would fall
to the town of Colby.
Say they agree with the city: They
dont owe anything and we dont owe
anything. The township then gets the
cemetery, but the problem is it wouldnt
hold financially because the town of
Colby would have to pay a great deal of
money to keep the cemetery from being
abandoned, he said.
Oemichen said Dietrich might want
to educate the city of Colbys common
council on the state statute governing
payment for a shared cemetery. Accord-

Falcons to host
Newman Dec. 1
The Abbotsfords boys basketball
team traveled to Greenwood Tuesday
for a non-conference matchup to start
off the season.
The Falcons led at half 28-21. The
Indians got as close as six points in
the second half before the Falcons
slammed the door and pulled away to
a 54-35 victory.
The
Falcons
were led by Garrett Rau with
23 points, 11 rebounds and five
steals.
Treven
Gorst scored 21
points and had
eight rebounds.
Ean Rau scored
eight points with
five rebounds and two steals, and Tyler Kunze added two points.
As a team I thought we played ok
for the first game, its never pretty
after only seven practices and deer
hunting on the guys minds but we
found a way to limit turnovers and
play sound defense.
The Falcons come back after the
Thanksgiving break to play Wausau

Colby girls go 1-1 to start

The Colby Hornets kicked off their
2015 girls basketball season with a lopsided win over the Granton Bulldogs last
Friday night. Colby hosted the conference battle and won by a 61-10 margin.
All of the players on Colbys roster
scored at least one point during the
game. They were led by senior Sammi
Hayes, who racked up 15 points, including six baskets and three free throws.
Fellow seniors Hannah Gurtner and
Haylee Geiger scored nine and eight
points, respectively, followed by Jenna
Jicinsky with six and Jordyn Halopka
with five.
The Hornets helped keep the ball on
their side of the court by swiping it
from the Bulldogs whenever they had a
chance. By the end of the game, Colby
had 24 total steals as a team, led by Geiger and Gurtner with four each.
Colbys players also pulled down a total of 40 rebounds on the night, with everyone on the roster contributing to the
effort. Hayes and Halopka led with six
apiece, followed by Vanessa Lopez, Carley Elmhorst and Gurtner with five each.
The Hornets traveled to Spencer Tuesday night for another Cloverbelt East
matchup against the Rockets. This time,
Colby came up on the losing end of the
game, falling 55-46.
The Rockets led throughout most of
the game, ending the first half with a 2516 advantage over the Hornets.
Hayes led the Hornets in scoring with
12 points, including two free-throws and
five field goals. She was followed by Ashley Streveler, who scored nine points
with a three-pointer and a trio of twopoint shots. Jicinsky added seven points,
while Geiger and Halopka both added

of the Hornets season opener against the Granton Bulldogs. Geiger scored
eight points as part of the 61-10 win.

six.
Still, the teams effort was stymied by
low shot percentages from both the freethrow line, where they went five for 13,
and from three-point land, where they

made only three of 17 shots.
The Hornets travel to Stratford next
Tuesday.
Many reasons for not seeing as many deer

The opening weekend of gun season
went pretty much like I expected it to
go. There were a few more hunters by
us than last year, but it was nothing
like it was several years ago. Fine by
me.
We had about the same amount of
deer sign as last year, but it was different. Several deer trails that in the
past were heavily used havent had a
deer on them in several months. We
found only one trail that showed a significant amount of use on it.
There are most likely several reasons for this. First, going back to
the last Herd Reduction Zone hunt
for that old DMU (Deer Management
Unit), the deer population was shot
down to about two deer per square
mile on public land. That deer season
was followed by two hard winters, but
the following season antlerless tags
were still available, so the deer population on public land had little chance
to recover. The second hard winter I
think we all remember.
The third reason hinges around the
change in the forest age structure.
Over the past five years, what was
once escape and bedding cover for
hundreds of acres now has started to
age out. The woods have opened up.
We can see further than 30 yards; 15 toward other areas, seeking refuge.

range that has deer. Our area doesnt.

Ive thought about driving around
at night listening for wolves and hunting in that general area, but the campfire is warm, the scotch is the perfect
temperature and the food is always
perfect.
Breakfast alone involves
three dozen eggs and three pounds of
bacon. We had steaks on Friday night
with grilled potatoes, beans, mushrooms, etc. Simply put, gun deer season is more than killing deer for us.
The camping part of our deer camp
brings a lot of enjoyment, as much
as the hunting, especially the last few
years. There is no cell signal there.
Its a chance for brothers and uncles and nephews to catch up with
each others lives and spend meaningful batches of time together to share
stories, create some new ones and let
your hair down. Some slept in one
day. Some stayed up late a night or
two.
And, yes, one of us slept by the fire
Friday night. He complained about
frost and moisture wicking into his
sleeping bag, making his feet cold in
the morning, before he crawled in the
camper Saturday night. I think he
realized it was over 70 degrees in the
camper. It was a good camp.

Abby girls fall to

Auburndale, 62-27
The Abbotsford girls basketball
team hosted the Auburndale Apaches
Tuesday and were defeated handily
62-27.
The Falcons put up a fight through
the first half and trailed 27-18 at the
break. The second half was a much
different story as Auburndale outscored Abby 35-9.
Dylana Schreiner led Abbotsford
earning nine points, said Falcons
coach Gary Gunderson. Erika Budzinski added five and Schreiner also

MOVE IT - Jaelyn Friedenfels skirts around coverage from Auburndale defense during the second half of Tuesday nights game against the Apaches.
The harvest of whitetail deer in both

Marathon and Clark counties this past
opening weekend was up 18 to 19 percent over last year, according to the Wisconsin DNR.
Hunters in Marathon County shot
2,294 antlered deer and 2,592 antlerless
deer for a grand total kill of 4,886 deer
for opening weekend. Last years total
was 4,121 deer.
In Clark County, hunters shot 751
bucks and 931 antlerless deer in the Central Farmland Deer Management Unit
(DMU), an increase of 9.86 percent. A
total of 663 bucks and 445 antlerless deer
were claimed in the countys Central
Forest DMU, a jump of 30 percent over
last year. Countywide, 3,294 total deer
were harvested, compared to 2,795 in the
2014 opening weekend.
The improved local harvest is consistent with statewide trends.
As of Monday, deer hunters registered
119,495 deer using the new GameReg
system compared to 103,746 last year.
We are off to a good start to the nineday season, said Kevin Wallenberg,
DNR big game ecologist. Harvest is
up in many counties, even where some
hunters said deer movement was poor.
We saw excellent hunting conditions in
much of the state over the weekend, so
that combined with improved deer population levels following a mild winter
and efforts to increase deer numbers,
we are hoping things continue to go well
for hunters through the rest of the season.
The DNR investigated a non-fatal
hunting accident in the town of Emmet.
As of Saturday, 591,783 gun deer licenses had been sold. The combined
number of gun deer and archer crossbow licenses total 828,664. This compares to 589,830 gun deer licenses and
816,292 combined gun and archer crossbow licenses in 2014.

Consolidation
minutes, members discussed possibly
having the district rent the halls from
each municipality and pay for heat, electricity and other utilities.
As far as billing goes, the Colby FD
bills the townships to cover the manpower costs of responding to a fire, and the
townships pass that along to the resident
who had the fire. The city of Colby absorbs the labor bill rather than passing it
along to residents.
Abbotsford and Dorchester residents
are also not billed for fire calls, but the
two fire departments forward a copy of
the bills to the townships for responding to fires within their boundaries. The
townships can then bill the residents to
recoup the cost. Dorchester FD does not
bill for responding to car accidents, but
the other two departments do.
Any changes in billing implemented
by the consolidated district would require each municipality to amend or
adopt local ordinances accordingly.
A bulk of the funding would have to
come from annual budget allocations by
each of the municipalities. If the seven
entities paid based on their total equalized property values as currently proposed Abbotsford would pay the biggest share at 25 percent, followed by the
city of Colby at 18 percent.
Dorchester and the towns of Hull,
Holton and Mayville would each contribute about 12 percent and the town of
Colby would pay 9 percent of the costs.
The three existing fire departments
have a combined operating budget of

about $324,000, according to the committees minutes, but that does not include the cost of insuring Abbotsfords
equipment and maintaining its fire hall.
According to a tally of expenses compiled by city clerk Jennifer Lopez, that
amounted to about $42,000 in 2014. The
city also made $111,000 in debt payments
last year on the fire hall, with the loan
balance at $2.1 million as of this year.
In exchange for some of the municipalities paying more than others, a weighted
voting system may be used when the districts board makes financial decisions.
All other matters would be decided by
equal votes of the seven-person board.
A separate fire commission of appointed members will handle personnel matters, according to the sample contract.
Continuing automatic mutual aid for
structure fires in the area with firefighters from all three departments responding was discussed as a way of
optimizing the new districts insurance
rating.
The ISO (Insurance Services Organization) would assign a new rating to the
consolidated district, but it will still be
based on how many firefighters respond
to each call. Homeowners and businesses within the district may see a savings
in insurance with an improved ISO rating.
The committees next meeting will be
6:30 p.m., Jan. 19, at the Dorchester fire
hall.

String art demonstration at CPL

The tapping of a dozen hammers pounding in hundreds of nails were the
sounds in the Colby City Hall Friday evening during a special demonstration by CPL staff member Brittani Mertens on Wisconsin String Art. Participants learned techniques then personalized their projects with a variety
of board types and finishes, string applications, and embellishments. Pictured with their creations, left to right, are Morgan Hopperdietzel, Michelle
Maurina and Jena OFlanagan.

Raffle tickets are available along
the parade route from 6:30 p.m. until
the parade starts. The drawing is held
immediately following the parade on
Main Street.
Over the years the parade has grown
from Santa, Rudolph and Frosty the
Snowman arriving on a fire truck the
first year, to 45 floats and over 250 costumed characters. The floats are mostly self-propelled and lit with thousands
of lights.
The new float this year is the SpongeBob boat, complete with SpongeBob
and Patrick characters. New movie
characters have been completed and
will join old favorite storybook, cartoon and fantasy friends that have
joined the parade through the years.
If you are coming from a distance to
see the parade, two local motels, Rodeway Inn and Abby Inn, offer a 25 percent room discount certificate to those
taking the free shuttle bus from Rodeway Inn and East Town Mall to the parade route.
Saturday there will also be a Lions
Club soup and chili feed from 10 a.m.
to 6:30 p.m. and a home-based business Shops on Candy Cane Lane from
8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., both at East Town
Mall. Santa will make a stop at Nicolet
FROZEN FLOAT - A new float featuring the characters of the popular

Disney movie Frozen debuted at

float this year.
