Grants available again to grow Wisconsin local foods The demand for local foods continues to grow in Wisconsin. The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is again offering Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin grants to strengthen Wisconsin’s agricultural and food industries. “Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin is a popular economic development program that has seen great results, reducing market-
ing, distribution and processing hurdles facing the state’s local food system,” said DATCP Secretary Ben Brancel. The competitive grant was launched in 2008. Since its inception, there have been more than $4 million in new local food sales and more than $640,000 in new investments. In addition, about 100 jobs have been created or retained.
Proposals will be accepted from individuals, groups, businesses and organizations involved in Wisconsin agriculture, food processing, food distribution, food warehousing, retail food establishments or agricultural tourism sites. Collaborations or partnerships are okay. “Invested citizens and the state legislature have been dedicated to the continuation of the
Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin program,” added Brancel. Pre-proposals must be received at DATCP by 4 p.m. on October 21. Pre-proposals include a cover page, budget template and project description. After an internal review of pre-proposals, qualified projects will be invited to complete a full proposal application and participate in an interview. The
announcement of selected projects will be made in early 2014. There is $200,000 of grant funds available. The maximum grant award is $50,000 per project. Grant applicants must provide cash or in-kind match equivalent to or greater than 50 percent of the total project cost. Eligible expenses for the Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin grant-funded projects include
operating expenses, real estate and equipment. The complete grant manual, cover sheet and budget outline is available online at http://datcp.wi.gov/Business/Buy_Local_Buy_Wisconsin/BLBW_Grants. For more information, contact DATCP’s Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin Program Manager, Teresa Engel, at (608) 224-5101 or teresa.engel@wi.gov.

A Salute to the
Beef Industry CONTROL seemed to be a problem for some of the jockies. It was like the camels had their own agendas.

Support Your Local Beef Producers
ELYPSYS (a Darlington Band) were banging it hard at the youth dance on Saturday night.
BEEF FACTS:
1. Cow-Calf Operation – Beef production begins with ranchers who maintain a breeding herd of cows that nurture calves every year. When a calf is born, it weighs 60 to 100 pounds. Over the next few months, each calf will live off its mother’s milk and graze grass in pasture.
2. Weaning – Beef calves are weaned at six to 10 months of age when they weigh between 450 and 700 pounds. These calves are now grass-fed in pasture. 3. Stockers and Backgrounders – After weaning, cattle continue to grow and thrive by grazing during the stocker and backgrounder phase. 4. Livestock Auction Markets – After weaning and/or during the stocker and backgrounder phase, cows are sold at livestock auction markets. About 1/3 of cows stay on the farm for breeding purposes.
FOOD COURT was a happening place during the fair.
5. Feedyard – The next step in beef production is when mature calves are moved to feedyards (also called feedlots). Here, they typically spend four to six months, during which time they have constant access to water, room to move around, and are free to graze at feed bunks containing a carefully balanced diet. Veterinarians, nutritionists and cattlemen work together to look after each animal. 6. Packing Plant – Once cattle reach market weight (typically 1,200 to 1,400 pounds and 18 to 22 months of age), they are sent to a processing facility. USDA inspectors are stationed in all federally inspected packing plants and oversee the implementation of safety, animal welfare, and quality standards from the time animals enter the plant until the final beef products are shipped to grocery stores and restaurants establishments. 7. Food Service and Retail – The final step in beef production is when beef is shipped and sold in the United States and abroad. In the retail and food service channels, operators take steps to provide consumers with the most safe, wholesome and nutritious products possible. For delicious recipes for beef, including tips on cooking steak and making the perfect hamburger, visit BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com.
Interesting Fact: 90% of all beef raised in the United States is sold in America, while 10% is exported.

Grandpa and Zachary Grandpa and I have lots of fun Whenever we’re together. He takes the time to read to me. It doesn’t matter whether The grass is long and full of weeds. The garden is a mess. He’d rather spend the time with me. He thinks I’m great, I guess. We both enjoy pretending We’re great big dinosaurs. Grandpa is the kissing kind, While I crawl on the floor And play that I am really mean With great big teeth that bite. Then grandpa always picks me up And hugs me real tight. Then we sit and rock and rock In our favorite rocking chair. While other people hustle by, We never have a care. Daddy hurries off to work, And sometimes Mommy too. Brother hurries off to school. They all have things to do. Sometimes we only sit and talk. My Grandfather and I. Or just look out the window And watch the clouds roll by. Or “Gramps” will have a story to tell. That happened long ago. Oh is it any wonder Why I love my Grandpa so.

OBITUARY Patrick J. Farrell A life well and bravely lived, but far too short. Patrick Farrell, 44, succumbed to brain cancer on July 19, 2013, less than two years after his diagnosis. Pat battled his disease in his own quiet, uncomplaining way, supported by the prayers of an extensive on-line network of family and friends who came to be known as “Patrick’s People”. That his death was peaceful is testament to the power of prayer and the support of hospice. Patrick will be remembered as a quiet man with a devilishly dry sense of humor, a devoted husband, father, son and brother, and a loyal
Tim Andrews Horticulturist - LLC friend. A talented athlete and great sports enthusiast, Pat was a legendary fan of the Green Bay Packers. He was a lifelong hockey player: his last hockey game was only 9 months ago. A Professional Engineer with an usually fine mind, Pat designed solutions to engineering challenges from a uniquely creative perspective. That mental agility and search for challenge in work and sport shaped who he was. Patrick was born December 31, 1968 to J. Brady and Jane J. Farrell in Monona, WI. He graduated from Monona Grove High School in 1987, and received a degree in Civil Engineering from Cornell University in 1991. Patrick worked for structural engineering firms in Florida, Chicago and Denver before establishing his own forensic structural engineering firm in Wisconsin in 2008, Castle Engineering Solu-
tions. He served in the US Army Reserves as a Corps of Engineers officer for nineteen years, retiring as Major shortly before his death. A combat veteran, he served two tours in the Global War on Terrorism, once each in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pat had already fulfilled his reserve obligations, but felt compelled to volunteer his services again after 911. The army accepted his offer, and quickly sent him to Afghanistan. Pat stayed active in the reserves until his retirement. The bonds of friendship formed during these deployments lasted until his death. Patrick married the former Charity Lynn Tennessen of East Troy, WI in 2004. They have three daughters: Caitlyn 6, Mackenna 5 and Magdalena (Maggie) 2. Patrick is survived by his wife and daughters, his parents, and his four siblings: Brady Jr. (Laura) of Fort Atkinson, WI; Michael
(Wendy) of Sacramento CA; Erin Petersen (Charlie)of Denver CO; and Scott (Heather) of Aurora CO. He has nine nieces and nephews; Nick, Patrick, Jordan, and Madison Farrell, Charlie Jr., Lauren and Logan Petersen, and Ayden and Avery Farrell, plus many aunts, uncles and cousins. A Mass of Christian Burial will celebrated by Fr. John Silva at 5PM Thursday, July 25 at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, 4913 Schofield St. Monona, WI. Visitation will be 3:00 to 5:00 PM at the church the day of the funeral. In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be established in Patrick’s memory.

By Gina Covelli Herald-Independent About one year ago, Leah Raisebeck turned her 17-year hobby into her full-time career by opening Booth 121 Upcycled Home Décor in Cottage Grove. Raisbeck began repurposing furniture and other items at the request of friends and family 17 years ago, and also provided items to be used as props for photographer Karmen Lindner. The hobby really came out of nowhere, she said. While creativity was always a strength for Raisbeck, she never painted anything until she had leftover paints and no idea what to do with them. “It just went from there,” she said. “Painting just came out of nowhere.” Though she didn’t have any previous painting experience when she first started to paint and create new décor items out of unwanted pieces of furniture, “it was never a challenge,” she said. The challenge came when she decided to go full-time with Booth 121. Previously she worked for Dean Health Systems for 16 years before making her hobby her career. “The interest just took off,” she said. “I never thought I’d be
a business owner…. I was always afraid I would put my passion out there and people would hate it,” she said. But as more and more people showed interest in her work, she realized she could turn her passion into her career. “I could do this for a living and I would love my work,” she said. “I could create and inspire other people.” A year into her business, Raisbeck said she has some trouble keeping up with the demands of her customers. Each piece Raisbeck creates is truly unique and varies depending on customers. Some clients bring in their antique or outdated furniture with a list of colors. Others show up and let Raisbeck have a lot of freedom. While she does a lot of custom work, she also hunts down unique furniture pieces, frames, shutters – any wood surface she can paint – and creates her own collection. “Every couple of months I have an open house with my own creations,” she said. The next open house is coming up on Aug. 10 and 11, at her studio located at 360 Progress Drive, #105, Cottage Grove. Open house hours are from 9-4 on Saturday and 10-2 on Sunday.
Photo by Karmen Lindner
Cottage Grove’s Leah Raisbeck and Dudley sit among just some of Raisbeck’s unique pieces in her studio located in Cottage Grove. An open house is scheudled for Aug. 10 and 11. Some of Raisbeck’s favorite projects include working with shutters, which she’s turned into coat racks, and anything that calls bright colors. “I love shutters,” she said. She takes inspiration from patterns from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and duplicates the bright floral prints onto chairs, desks and picture frames. With the help of her stepfather, who happens to be a woodworker, she takes old bed frames
and turns them into benches to be painted. One of her favorite pieces is a dresser that is used in her studio – painted bright mustard yellow and the silhouette Booth 121’s mascot, Dudley the bulldog, painted in bright turquoise and maroon floral pattern. For more information, visit the website for Booth 121 (booth121.com) or follow Raisbeck on Facebook (search Booth 121).

Well, it has been a strange week. Last Saturday, it was so hot you could cook an egg on the sidewalk. Our humming birds refused to drink the colored sugar water, as it must have turned sour. My daughter had to empty it out and started over. They have been happy ever since. This week we were in danger of it freezing on the window. Going to church I actually turned on the heater and in fact enjoyed the heat coming out of the vents. Katie even started the pellet stove! This weekend was full of kids. Most, in fact, all of my grandchildren were here, in and out. A couple of girlfriends now visit too and also fishing buddies of two of my grandchildren. They brought in a travel trailer and spent the night down by the river. They did not exactly rough it in the cold weather as they had the generator and the pizza machine long too. One friend of my grandson came and was sporting
a brand new tattoo. I usually don’t like them very much, but my grandson had one put on his arm with a deer head and the birth and death date and name of my husband, his grandfather. I thought that was nice and it made me cry. I have seen some pretty tasteful ones like a little butterfly on the leg and my hairdresser has a pair of scissors on her ankle. I should get one too and I know what I would get. A slow moving vehicle sign, but I haven’t figured out how anyone could see it. We have had a couple of interesting conversations on strange subjects. Like watching an alligator on a show and me commenting that I heard that there were supposed to be alligators in the sewers of New York City. “Who told you that?” “Well I heard it on Johnny Carson show years ago.”
He said, “people would bring them back from Florida as babies and then they would get too big and not cute anymore and they would flush them.” “No, no!” It was pointed out to me that it was too cold for them to survive. No, it doesn’t get cold in a sewer it heats just like a septic tank or a manure pile. Ours would freeze on the outside back in the day, but the inside was nice and toasty and totally frost free. No there are rats and stuff down there but no gators. “Well” I pointed out, “the gators had to eat something?” Oh, the room was full of “Grandma no!” Well, it is never boring at our house and just listening for an hour or so makes you learn. Whether or not that information is accurate or not is something else!
Locals Unite in River Writers Club lauren LAWSON | reporter WAUPACA COUNTY - Those with a knack for writing and an interest in storytelling need not look any further than the River Writers Club. The River Writers were formed in December 1997 by Allan Wietman, a former music teacher in Manawa, and his wife, Joan. The group’s name has a local origin, as it was taken from the seven tiers in Waupaca County which include the Crystal, Embarrass, Little Wolf, Pigeon, Tomorrow, Waupaca, and Wolf. It is within this area that most of the club authors reside. The River Writers meet once a month on the first Saturday of every month at the Sturm Public Library in Manawa from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. According to current club president Manny Moraleda, the club was initiated to encourage people
with an interest in writing to write and tell stories for posterity and historical reasons. Members have free reign on their writing, and can write personal essays, short stories and poems. Each member is given the opportunity to share their written work and receive comments from the club. A book of club writing is also compiled each year. Writers of all levels are encouraged to attend. In addition to sharing in each other’s writings, other various fun activities and snacks are incorporated into the meetings. Currently, the River Writers are working hard to get more local writers active in the club. According to Moraleda, club attendance has drastically decreased. “There used to be 18 members in 2006…there are only four left…We hope that by switching the meeting from every first Tuesday of the month to every
first Saturday of the month, we will be able to get people interested in writing to come,” said Moraleda. Current club members are Moraleda, Pay Young, Vangie Myhre and Irma Arndt. Joining the club is easy -- simply show up to the meeting and you will be recognized and added to the roster. There is a small yearly membership fee of $10 which covers the expenses and payment for the completed book at the end of the year. “I was interested in poetry. I went to the meeting for curiosity. I talked to the people inside the meeting room and observed what they were doing. I volunteered to help take pictures later. After six years, I accepted the position as president of the club for the primary reason that I wanted to save the club. I did not want it dissolved,” added Moraleda.

Musings from Madtown lauren LAWSON|reporter
What Was I Thinking? stephanie HINTZ | reporter / photographer I love rummage and estate sales. I really do. But often, I find I don’t have the time to go to them, and with gas prices so expensive it can be hard to justify driving all around to get a great deal on an item that may or may not be there or what I am looking for. I despise paying fullprice for anything, and am well known for only making trips to town unless I can piggy-back several of them at once. Welcome to the internet era of online classifieds via Facebook. Ahhhh, Facebook. Love it or leave it? Love it! The first one I had ever seen locally was the Clintonville Classifieds, initiated by my boss, Tricia. The local response was huge- with people buying and selling just about everything under the sun with most at rummage sale
prices. The best part? Pictures, descriptions and personal messages could be exchanged before even setting foot behind the wheel. Who knew that I would find my favorite source for online shopping right here in Clintonville with the money going into local people’s pockets. After the Clintonville Classifieds began, a friend started one in Shawano. Then several others in the Clintonville area began popping up, all largely successful. There is even one for electronics only and free items. At last check, I have seen them start in Waupaca, New London, the Fox Valley and Green Bay. I have even seen some local members join as far as Milwaukee and Minneapolis. The bargain-selling and buying phenomenon has
WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Reid Ribble reintroduced his health care legislation today. The Health Equity Act of 2013 (H.R. 2820) would allow individuals, families, and small businesses who purchase their own health insurance to fully deduct their health care costs. This legislation also includes provisions to provide incentives for individuals and businesses to participate in wellness programs, helping to lower their health care costs over their lifetime. The following is a statement by Congressman Ribble on the reintroduction of this legislation: “With multiple implementation delays, rising health insurance premiums, and employers cutting back on workers’ hours and wages because of the Af-
fordable Care Act, access to truly affordable health care coverage is becoming even scarcer. My legislation provides consumers with more choices and better access to coverage that fits their needs will make health care coverage more affordable for Wisconsin families and businesses.” H.R. 2820, The Health Equity Act of 2013: Amends the IRS code to allow sole-proprietors to fully deduct their health insurance costs Allows individuals purchasing health care on their own to deduct the cost of their health insurance from their gross income Allows individuals to deduct up to $1,200 in costs associated with fitness programs, athletic club memberships, fitness equipment, and weight loss programs.
Ribble Reintroduces Healthcare Legislation
gone viral. Sure, there are issues. Some people commit to buying and never show up. Others don’t get back to you when you are interested in their item or sell the item to someone else after you thought you were getting it. My biggest pet peeve is people that low-ball the price. Sure, some factor in a little wiggle room in the selling price, but respect for buying an item that is already deeply discounted needs to be considered. That kind of stinks, but it is what it is. For the most part, all my experiences have been very positive and I can happily report I have sold more unwanted gear than bought, so it feels like a success to me. The best part? I didn’t
have to clean my garage, make signs, drive around or sit in the rain to do it. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy rummage sales, but this is my way to get around without getting around. I don’t feel this has hurt the local economy in any way, but I do feel it has had a positive impact. Myself, I have sold items and immediately took the cash and stuck it into my gas tank at local stations, paid for prescriptions for my family, haircuts and bought new shoes for my kids. Your welcome, local retailers. And thank you, Facebook, for really understanding the positive power of social networking.
Well, here we go again. Another TV star has gone bonkers. On Thursday evening, a judge ruled that former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes was to remain on psychiatric hold for 14 more days because of her dangerous and outof-control behavior. Some of you might remember her as the quirky star of the Amanda Show that ran on Nickelodeon during the 1990's and early 2000s or from more recent films like 'She's the Man', 'Hairspray', or 'Easy A'. The star was taken by police after she allegedly lit a fire in a stranger's driveway and then proceeded to run into a liquor store to wash off her Pomeranian that she apparently accidentally doused in gasoline when she tried to light the fire. Yikes. Well, might as well add her to the running list of stars that have crashed and burned after years of success. Reading her story on the internet induces flashbacks of Britney Spears shaving her head, mug shots of Lindsey Lohan, and the Chris Brown-Rihanna fiasco. It has been pretty unfortunate to watch Bynes and her downward spiral. 2012 and 2013 have been pretty rough years for the 27 yearold celeb, who's problems first made the news after she was booked for her first DUI and thrown behind bars after sideswiping a cop car in Hollywood. Throughout 2012 she was pulled over five more times for hit-and-run incidents. Yep, five times. Posts on Twitter revealed a very public downward spiral, chronicling her erratic behavior, verbal attacks on fellow celebrities,
an incessant line of "selfies", and rants, for her over 1.4 million followers. I have a few problems with this whole situation. I'll be the first to admit that I watched Bynes as a kid on Nickelodeon and love her acting in her most recent films. For that fact, it has been a real disappointment to see what her life has turned into. Second, I'm a little disappointed that it has taken this long to get the girl the help she needs. You would think that after her second or third hit-and-run incident her parents or law enforcement would have stepped in to knock some sense into her. Apparently that's not the case. Lastly, Bynes' current situation raises the question, "Is the grass truly greener on the other side?" Now I realize that she is not the first and certainly not the last star to lose it, but boy, Hollywood and the pressures that go with it just don't seem to be worth it to me. As a kid being raised in America, society teaches us to envy the rich and the famous, and aspire to be like them. Well I can tell you one thing, I have no desire to be anything like Bynes or many of the so-called "stars" out there today. I know many more Average Joe's that are far more deserving the envy and attention of society, but alas, their stories don't usually seem to make top news. If this is the price to pay to be famous nowadays, I think I'll stick to the grass on my side of the fence. But out of all this, I hope Bynes gets the help that she needs. It's clear that she is a young lady that is in serious need of an intervention.
ies and villages are sent the first Monday in January, April, July and October. Payments for counties are made in three installments, with 25 percent of the total annual payment on the first Monday in January; 50 percent on the first Monday in July; and 25 percent on the first Monday in October. Local governments are
eligible to receive state transportation fund revenues for public transit, elderly and disabled transportation, and airport and harbor development from WisDOT. State and federal funds are also allocated for specific highway and bridge construction projects on a continuing basis.
Payments Made to Local Governments WISCONSIN - Governor Scott Walker today announced that payments totaling $127,805,717 for General Transportation Aids, Connecting Highway Aids and Expressway Policing Aids have been delivered to Wisconsin local governments. Payments to the state’s 1,923 local units of government from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) include: $124,533,868 in General Transportation Aids; $3,015,874 to municipalities entitled to receive Connecting Highway Aids; and $255,975 to Milwaukee County for Expressway Policing Aids. For calendar year 2013, local governments share an estimated $416.6 million in reimbursements from the state transportation fund. These reimbursements help defray the costs of constructing, maintaining, and operating local roads, streets and bridges. The payments include Con-
necting Highway Aids to 120 recipient municipalities for maintenance and traffic control of certain state highways within their municipal boundaries and Expressway Policing Aids to the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department for patrol of Milwaukee expressways. Payments for towns, cit-
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Embarrass Fun Daze A Success Dear Editor and Readers: A big “hats off” to all those who helped plan and conduct the activities at the Embarrass Fun Daze on July 27. It was truly a family centered event with fun for all ages-everything from a bouncy house to coed volleyball and kickball to some great polka music. The food was tasty and affordable and the crowd friendly and mannerly. My sister, Mary-Beth, and I took part in the pa-
rade to promote St. Martin Lutheran Church Rural Life Sunday. What fun to hand out toy snakes and beads to the children! After the parade we enjoyed the Truck Town Polka Sounds and participated in the humstrum competition. We didn’t take home the trophy but did we ever have a great time! We even ran into our classmates from the CHS classes of 1953 and 1956. This was a good clean hometown festival at

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
SPEED FREAKS
A couple of questions we just had to ask — ourselves
Getty Images/CHRIS GRAYTHEN
Dirt roads are a fun diversion, but not where NASCAR will make its living.
Did the truck race at Eldora look like something NASCAR should try again?
GODSPEAK: I do believe the truck series has found a magic wand. Expect to see at least two dates on dirt in 2014. The other series will stay tied to asphalt. KEN’S CALL: In a perfect world, yes, there’d be a couple of dirt races in every series. But the world isn’t perfect.
Did Ryan Newman win a new contract with his victory at the Brickyard?
GODSPEAK: Newman is too good not to have a ride. Something will turn up and it will be good. When one window closes, another opens and all that kind of stuff. KEN’S CALL: Not much chance of Ryan Newman being out of a job. But he might’ve just escaped a potential Plan B ride for next year.

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ
Class of 2002 Every generation produces a special class of rookies who grow into champions. The previous top class was 1979 which included Harry Gant, Terry Labonte and Dale Earnhardt. They combined for nine NASCAR Cup Series championships and well over 100 victories. Enter the Class of 2002, which is following a similar track. Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman entered the cage at the same time and have been toe-to-toe ever since. Johnson had three wins his rookie year, while Newman nabbed one and the Rookie of the Year honors. Through the years, Johnson has seen greater success – five championships and 64 wins. Newman has finished top-10 in points six times and won 17 races. Which is why winning Sunday’s Samuel Deeds 400 at the Brickyard at Indianapolis was extra- special-sweet for Newman. Not only did he win on his “home” track – Newman was born and raised in Indiana – but he beat Johnson, who finished second. The margin of victory was basically the time difference in their last pit stops. “There is definitely disappointment there, but this is racing, that stuff happens,” Johnson said. “Ryan was fast all day long. I can’t take anything away from him.”
Sunday’s race from inside the team hauler. Matt McCall, a team engineer, sat on Burton’s pit box during the race. The team said Lambert had an eye ailment that made him sensitive to light. And then there was the garage stall of Jimmie Johnson’s No. 48 Chevrolet. In somewhat of a first, the stock car could not be seen because it was surrounded by partitions. NASCAR, which has always had an “open garage” policy, allowed the No. 48 to keep the partitions up through the weekend. Finally, Newman became the second “lame duck” driver to win this season. Newman was pink-slipped by Stewart-Haas Racing — when the 2013 season ends. Kevin Harvick is the other duck in the pond. He is leaving Richard Childress Racing at the end of ‘13. Where is he going? To take Newman’s place on the Stewart-Haas driver roster.
Fundamental four
Jeff Gordon, Jeff Burton, Mark Martin and Bobby Labonte have a special bond that has survived at least one more season. They are the only drivers who have started every Brickyard 400 since its 1994 inception. Gordon stands out among this elite group with four victories and finished in the top-10 Sunday at Indianapolis. Labonte won it in 2000 but was 36th Sunday. Martin said his No. 55 Toyota was “ill” all day and finished 23rd. Burton, who was running at the finish, brought up the rear of the field. Gordon and Burton will return based on their current driving contracts; not so sure about Martin and Labonte.

Newman will hit the bricks later, but first a smooch.
How much horsepower is a pink slip worth?
They’ve yet to develop a dyno to measure such things, but apparently there’s nothing that lights a fire under a racer like pending unemployment or, at least, the fear of losing that multiyear contract. Through the years, it’s been common to see a racer find a burst of speed when he’s rumored to be on thin ice or, in Ryan Newman’s case, playing out the string on his current contract and hoping for another elsewhere.
Will Newman’s Brickyard burst carry over to Pocono and beyond?
The best guess here: Don’t bet on it. For whatever reason, his team found the combination to Indy, and Newman is obviously a capable driver who can cash in on such finds. But usually there’s a reason a team has been underperforming all season, so don’t look for long-range glory here. Meanwhile, let’s assume Newman is heavily courting his primary sponsor – Quicken Loans – since both he and crew chief Matt Borland were quick to thank Quicken during post-victory TV interviews.
Biggest news of the week?
That Ricky Stenhouse is a boarder. He’s a full-time Sprint Cup driver, and we learned last week that he rents a room at his accountant’s house near Charlotte. Renting a room? Even an ARCA rookie would have his own place. But an ARCA rookie wouldn’t have Danica Patrick rooming with him every now and then. And an ARCA rookie wouldn’t have Danica’s Chicago apartment as his other option. Ken Willis has been covering NASCAR for The Daytona Beach News-Journal for 27 years.

JOHNSON
Ryan Newman vs. Jimmie Johnson: These two have bumped heads since they were rookies in 2002. Newman got the best of it at Indy. Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Beating Johnson at Indy was a super-sweet, satisfying moment for Newman.” AP Photo/AJ MAST
He had the crown for a day, but Jimmie Johnson remains King of the Class of 2002.

ATVs and ROVs can be hazardous to operate. For your safety always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride on paved surfaces or public roads. Never carry a passenger on a single-rider ATV; never engage in stunt driving; riding and alcohol/drugs don’t mix and could cause injury or even death. Avoid excessive speeds and be particularly careful on difficult terrain. Only ride an ATV that is right for your age. Supervise riders younger than 16. Always wear a seat belt on ROVs. Never carry a passenger in the cargo box or a passenger under age 6. Arctic Cat recommends that all riders take a training course, and that they read and understand their owner’s manual before operation. Along with concerned conservationists everywhere, Arctic Cat urges you to “Tread Lightly” on public and private lands. Ride only on designated areas or trails. Preserve your future riding opportunities by showing respect for the environment, local laws, and the rights of others when riding. For safety or training information, see your dealer or call the ATV Safety Institute at (800) 887-2887.

the name of Zach Bennet, who has been traveling with The Meadow Valley Chapter for three years. It is always a pleasure to watch this very quiet boy open up as the weekend progresses. At first it seems difficult to get Zach off a lawn chair. All it took was for Jody to take him fishing, and for Zach to catch his first catfish, and just like that, it was swimming, some canoeing, and of course, Ghosts in the Graveyard after dark.
The following day we used eight canoes and Jody’s flat-bottom boat, and went on about a 3hour canoe trip. Jody traps this flowage and made sure that he took the kids in what he called some “scenic country.” I recall one time when he was idling by some stragglers, he asked if they were getting tired. The boys replied that they were, and Jody let them know they were only half way done. In other words,
we like to see kids go for it here in KAMO Country. We took a break on our adventure and played some football on a beautiful July day. It was like any other KAMO trip I have been on. We had a crew of kids from four different towns and many social structures, but they had all become a group of one and all of them were having a blast. The following day we said goodbye and it rained on my boat tour back to
the truck. In closing, I can proudly say that tonight I am going to a meeting in Eau Claire in which we will be starting our sixth chapter of KAMO. I am predicting solid growth for this organization (www.kamo.kids.org) over the next 20 years. We could use you or your kids. We will help start a chapter in your community if we see enough interest. Check us out! Sunset
ity with such dignity we hardly noticed his speech impediment. We decided wieners, a loaf of bread, ketchup, and canteens of KoolAid would be our staples since they would be easy to procure from home. However, snacks were another matter. That afternoon we scattered all over town in search of empty pop bottles. We pooled the deposit money and bought chips and candy bars for the night’s extravaganza. Loaded down like pack mules, we climbed the hill in search of a camp-
site. After crossing a field, we followed a lane that led through a stand of pine and oak to a small clearing — the perfect spot for our first camp. After setting up the pup tent, we built a fire and sharpened sticks for roasting hot dogs (Despite my dad’s dire prediction, we managed to do this without cutting off a finger). With these triumphs behind us, we proceeded to burn every hot dog to a blackened, crisp. I don’t remember what took us away from camp that night. It may have been the chance to hang out at the softball game, where one hoped to summon up the courage to talk to a girl. Perhaps we needed to raid one of our mother’s kitchens for more food. Whatever the reason,
we found ourselves staring up from the bottom of the hill at about 10 p.m. We hesitated. No one spoke, but we knew what the other was thinking. None of us was willing to say it aloud; we were scared to climb that hill in the dark. Armed with a dim flashlight that cast eerie shadows against the trees, we crept up the trail arm in arm like the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion on the Yellow Brick Road. Once in camp, we finally exhaled and scrambled into the safety of the tent. After some nervous, but relieved chatter, we tried to sleep. With silence came the weird sounds of night: owls, the soft brushing of branches together, and the snap of twigs. With my eyelids getting droopy
and finally getting used to the noises, there was an explosion right next to the tent followed by a series of gunshots. The four of us bolted upright and fumbled for flashlights. We shouted incoherent sentences and babbled in tongues. I don’t think Marty even stuttered. David’s face looked like it had been dunked in flour. Kevin dove back under his sleeping bag, burying his head — without a wisecrack. The shots subsided, and then we heard it. Laughter It started out as a muffled snicker, like someone trying to hold back a laugh in church. Then it turned into a full, belly-rolling hoot. We looked at each and the fear drained from our faces. We recognized the laugh. It was Hobie, an
older friend, role model, and notorious practical joker who had found out we were camping that night. He had patiently waited for us armed with his arsenal of firecrackers. After he left, I am not sure anyone slept. Nevertheless, we made it through the night and dozens of other campouts over the next few years. We graduated from tents to sleeping on picnic tables under the shelter at the Legion Park. And, as we grew older, so did our interest in scheduling campouts on the same night as the girls. Of course, that is another story.

Cardinals this fall. Even though one of our boys was 180 pounds, he had no problem admitting he was scared of a 15-yearold gal that has been on more KAMO trips than any other kid in all of KAMO. In KAMO, we take kids that come from any type of home. Our goal is to get kids outdoors. It doesn’t matter if your parents make a million bucks a year, or $5,000. We have one boy by

LESSONS LEARNED BY SCOTT BlCKNELL
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR TOUGHEST BUSINESS DECISION? "When we had to end a project. We tried to launch our own line of sandals, but decided to put that project on hold. Everything else was growing so fast. There was just not enough manpower to dedicate the appropriate amount of time to it. There were a lot of man hours and dollars spent, but it did not fit with the direction.we were moving in anymore.” WHAT IS YOUR YARDSTICK OF SUCCESS? "The number of employees we are able to keep on staff.”
scon PAULUS Scott Bicknell (with JoAnne Callies)...“There’s no manual for getting through all the hiccups that come with growing a business.
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR FIRST MOVE WITH A CAPITAL WINDFALL? We always need stor age space, so if we had some extra capital, we would purchase a larger building with more space to grow.”
When the other shoe drops West Bend shoe refinisher moves into assembly BY ANDREW PHILLIPS aphillips@bizjoumals.com
Scott Bicknell earns a living helping other companies fix their mistakes. He and his business, The Leather House Inc., have been so successful at it that Bicknell is now ready to risk making some of his own. The Leather House, a West Bend-based leather repair shop, does most of its business with footwear distributors, restoring 300,000 to 400,000 pairs of shoes every year when they arrive from overseas manufacturers damaged or discolored. Bicknell and his fa ther, John, founded the firm in 2006 with a line of credit from Westbury Bank after John Bicknell saw a market for repairing damaged shoes while working at Prime Leather Finishes Co., Pewaukee. "Everybody has issues when they import product and we’re in a unique situation that we know how to fix them,” Scott Bicknell said. "They'11 cut corners or they use the wrong fin ish. And when they get over here, they’re stuck with what to do.” Bicknell said the company has found success in that market, growing about 40 percent in 2012 and coming in ahead of that mark so far in 2013. He declined to release specific finan
cial information. But he and his father are now expanding, stepping into uncharted territory for them. The Leather House started selling leather shoe finishes of its own in China four months ago and it plans to expand into Taiwan in the next six months. John Bicknell retired from Prime Leather Finishes last fall to work more hours at The Leather House, and he recently traveled to China on a three-week trip to help advance finish sales. Scott Bicknell said he has embraced the chal lenge of learning the shipping industry as he works to get the finishes to his customers. “It’s baptism by fire,” Bicknell said. “There’s no manual for getting through all the hiccups that come with growing a business.” Sales are “taking off faster than we can handle,” he said, and the company has hired two employees in China to help sell its fin ishes.
MAKING SHOES After seven years of repairing shoes, Scott and John Bicknell will begin making shoes in late July through a new company, JSL Foot wear Inc. The idea came two years ago, Scott Bicknell said, when they realized they could as semble shoes for less than they are made over seas, thanks to processes they have mastered through their experience in the industry. They still have to buy shoe components over seas that are not available in the United States,
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FRUSTRATION? "My lack of patience. I see something and want to head in that direction, but there are many times we need to wait to hear from other people."
Bicknell said, but are doing everything they can locally. "We want to be a turnkey supplier for com panies," he said. “We want to take care of them from start to finish and make everything as seamless as possible.” JSL Footwear now has its first customer in Dr. Comfort “It’S BETTER Inc., a Mequon-based firm that makes footwear for dia QUALITY betics. The company’s vice than what president, Brian O’Reilly, said Dr. Comfort had been we're getting trying to bring its business overseas.” back into the United States. “To find a place like (JSL Brian O’Reilly Footwear) that not only is in the U.S. but is in the same Dr. Comfort Inc. state, is just a win-win for us,” O’Reilly said. “It’s bet ter quality than what we’re getting overseas and they understand the importance of. what we do here.” To make room for their new business, the Bicknells bought the 15,000-square-foot build ing they had been leasing on Schoenhaar Drive and a 6,000-square-foot building behind it last month, switching to a larger line of credit from TSB Bank in Theresa. They are now moving The Leather House into the new building, with the existing space divided between their manufacturing lines and storage for both companies. The Leather House

had already moved once before, from its origi nal 6,000 square-foot location in St. Lawrence in Waupaca County, and Scott Bicknell said growth has been an adjustment. "Someone gave me the metaphor that you’re turning a page in a small book and now those pages keep getting bigger," he said. "Every time we add a (production) line, it's adding to the whole grand scheme of things. You have to become less of a micromanager and trust the people you have." Bicknell said those people —10 employees at The Leather House and six so far at JSL Foot wear, plus up to 15 temporary workers depend ing on The Leather House's project load — are what keeps his companies going. As for JSL Footwear, Bicknell projected mak ing 100,000 pairs of shoes in the company’s first year, starting with slippers, and later san dals. for Dr. Comfort. Bicknell said he hopes to hire five or six additional employees for the new company in the next month, adding that JSL Footwear has had interest from several other potential customers. “We're small -1 get it,” Bicknell said. “We’re not going to have the governor here for a grand opening when we're creating four jobs. But you've got to start somewhere."

Wisconsin's momentum around ven ture capital has been hard to miss this year and the most intriguing fund of the bunch is arguably BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation Inc. The Milwaukee-based fund, an nounced July 10, has an unusual model that seeks charitable donations to be in vested in startups statewide. The founding su pergroup of eight business leaders and early-stage inves tors has secured more than $6 million in pledges and expects to raise at least $60 million more over the next three years. BrightStar co-founder and unpaid leader Tom Shannon is confident it will receive nonprofit status and draw donations, despite donors receiving no financial return or share of BrightStar earnings, which will be re-invested in the startups. In this edited interview transcript, he explains why.
Q: Will people invest large sums of their money in startups know ing they won’t see any direct fi nancial returns? A: “Think about the really wealthy people, $50 million to $100 million net worth and more. They don’t want to early-stage invest. They don't want to see the losers. They tend to be older. They don't want an illiquid asset held in their estate for five to 10 years. The discussion for them no longer is, ‘Do I want an investment and do I want a return?’ It’s just like their other re turns on other charities. They want a result. In this case, they want job creation and we’re going to get it for them because we have early-stage people that know the space, we have an abundance of ideas in Wisconsin and we have the really educated work force. We just don’t have the money." Q: Why start this fund now? A: “We've been talking about (ven-

ture capital funding) for a couple years. We were encouraged early seeing news reports about the state wanting to put together a $300 million to $400 million fund for early stage. But over the two years we’ve been seeing it skinny down to just about nothing. The appetite in the state of Wisconsin just isn’t there from a taxpayer standpoint to fund. I don't think taxpayers un
Q: How did you get the idea for this model? A: “Both my brother and sister (Mike Shannon, managing director of Denver private equity firm KSL Capital Partners LLC, and Susan Shannon Engeleiter, president and chief executive officer of Data Rec ognition Corp., Maple Grove, Minn.) are on the University of Wisconsin Foundation Board. We were talking about the tens of millions of dollars UW alumni are giving to the foun dation. If the same generous donors to education could have a place to put deductible dollars to help create jobs for those kids when they come out of school, that should really resonate."

Germantown standoff ends in death Suspect dies of self-inflicted gunshot after barricading himself in home Daily News Staff Germantown police officers and the Washington County Sheriff’s Department SWAT Team found a heavily armed 50-year-old
Germantown man dead as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after he barricaded himself inside his home on Sunday. According to a Germantown Police Department news release, one of the man’s relatives called the Germantown Police Department at 2 p.m. to request a welfare check on the man because he was acting distraught. When Germantown police officers arrived to the home on Appleton Avenue, they heard a gunshot. Because the officers didn’t
know if the gunshot was contained in the house or if it was directed at them, the Washington County Sheriff’s Department SWAT Team was called. Washington County Sheriff’s Sgt. Chad Beres said members of the Germantown Police Department are on the team. The Washington County SWAT Team and the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department armored vehicle deployed a robot and discovered the man was barricaded inside the home.
The officers found the man dead as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The medical examiner pronounced him dead at the scene. Officers investigating the incident discovered the man was heavily armed and also found two hand grenades in the room where the man was located. The Milwaukee County bomb squad and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives determined the hand grenades were replicas. The incident is under investigation.

Alderman says move is a ‘huge waste of time’ By DAVE RANK Daily News Staff Extra eyes will be on the planned reorganization of the West Bend Public Works Department. On a 5-3 vote, the Common Council voted to create a Public Works Oversight Committee to assist in the merger of five former independent departments into one under Director Robert Richards. “I don’t see any need for this,” Alderman Steve Hutchins said. Hutchins along with aldermen Tony Turner and Ed Duquaine voted against forming the oversight committee. Turner said the committee will be micromanaging the department. “It’s a huge waste of time.” “First off, this sounds like a babysitting job,” Hutchins said. “We hired Bob to do this job.” Hired in January, Richards already has done a good job blending departments, Hutchins said, and should be left alone to complete the job. Richards said he did not need an oversight committee and blamed the opposition by some aldermen on a
few of his employees who were bypassing personnel procedures to complain directly to members of the Common Council. “That’s the culture we’re creating,” Richards said. “If they’re doing their Turner jobs, they shouldn’t be worried at all.” A year ago, the council agreed to merge five departments, Public Works, Engineering, Vehicle Maintenance, and both Water and Sewer utilities under one director, part of a plan to Duquaine streamline administration in City Hall and reduce operating costs. On July 1, Richards presented his new reorganizational management plan without naming who he would appoint to lead the seven divisions. On a 4-3 vote, the aldermen decided to postpone approving Richards’ plan until they could discuss Richards’ personnel plans in more detail. That closed session discussion was July 15 with an open session vote of 5-3 approving reorganization. The oversight committee was pro-
Deunionized department Led by members of the West Bend Water Utility, last year employees in seven city departments successfully decertified as Teamster General Local 200. That public employee union, which had a membership of 45, was certified in 1969. The decertification vote was 19-19 with seven members not voting. Under newly implemented state law, employees who did not vote were counted as ‘no’ votes, which triggered decertifying the union. That vote affected employees in Building Maintenance, Parks, Recreation and Forestry, Public Works, Sewer Utility, Vehicle Maintenance and Water Utility, the latter four merged later in 2012 into the expanded Department of Public Works.
posed by Interim City Administrator T.J. Justice and Mayor Kraig Sadownikow after split votes by the aldermen to allow Richard’s restructuring of the department’s administrative structure. Aldermen had expressed concerns on how some current department staff will be handled. The mayor pointed out that Public Works now has the largest staff in the city’s employ and is blending together departments that previously did not work that closely together.

In less than a week, Hartford’s public library roof will see the beginning of the end. Langer Roofing and Sheet Metal of Milwaukee is scheduled to begin replacing the Jack Russell Memorial Library roof on Monday, a roughly $923,000 project that is supposed to rectify the faults in the building’s current roof. Members of the Hartford Common Council approved the contract July 23 after seeking reassurances that the money will not come out of taxpayer pockets. “I’m a little concerned. ... Now we’re putting another close to $1 million into it (the library),” Common Council President Tim Michalak said. “However, it is an asset to the city and, because of that, we are obligated to protect that asset.” Hartford officials were infuriated to learn in November that reportedly because of some faults in the library roof’s construction, condensation was forming and causing water damage to the library’s interior walls. Officials began an aggressive campaign to monitor the damage, not only to protect the library’s books and furniture but also to collect proof of the liability of the four companies involved in building the roof. It is those builders that Mayor Joseph Dautermann and the council hold responsible for paying for the repair of the roof. “The parties have agreed to voluntary mediation,” said City Administrator Gary Koppelberger, though all parties involved have yet to agree on date for the mediation. “Hopefully we can do this voluntarily. Otherwise, that’s why you have lawyers.” Please see ROOF/A8

Relay For Life opens Friday 14th annual event has $73,000 goal ___________ BY GARY RIDDERBUSCH NEWS-REVIEW EDITOR
___________
The 2013 Relay For Life of the Northwoods will be this Friday and Saturday, Aug. 2-3, with a goal of raising $73,000 for the American Cancer Society and its programs of research and education. According to event chairwoman Kitty Sookochoff, this year’s theme is “Make Some Noise. Finish the Fight.” “The theme relates to the American Cancer’s Society’s 100th birthday this year,” said Sookochoff. “While one goal is to raise money, the other intention of the Relay is to bring a community together to support the fight against cancer.” The 14th annual Relay will be at the Northland Pines High School outdoor track in Eagle River and will get under way Friday afternoon. The opening ceremony, featuring honorary caregiver Dick Hughes and honorary survivor Gretchen Yagow, will start at 6 p.m. “The opening ceremony

will include the caregiver and survivor lap, as well as the colorful parade of teams with 25 teams participating,” said Sookochoff. “We have registered more than 125 survivors. The highlight of every Relay For Life opening ceremony is the victory lap, where survivors, their caregivers, family and friends walk the track to kick off the event.” The all-night vigil will include a new bike rally, the Locks of Love tent, educational presentations, activities for all ages, a silent auction, the luminaria ceremony at 9:30 p.m., and food and refreshments. The activities will continue throughout the night and into Saturday morning, with the closing ceremony at 9:30 a.m. Sookochoff said the Relay For Life is for all area residents and visitors. “The Northwoods Relay For Life is a fun family event To RELAY, Pg. 3A
NR 115 changes seek flexibility ___________ BY GARY RIDDERBUSCH NEWS-REVIEW EDITOR
___________
Proposed changes to minimum statewide shoreland zoning standards aimed at providing more flexibility for property owners — including allowing more expansion of homes closer than 75 feet from the water’s edge — are the topic of public hearings in August. The proposed changes to Chapter NR 115, the state’s shoreland zoning regulations, are designed to make the standards easier for counties to implement, according to a state official. The changes also propose greater flexibility for properties along developed shorelines. Since Wisconsin revised
the minimum statewide shoreland zoning standards in 2009, some counties expressed concerns that the revisions would be administratively difficult to implement and enforce, according to Russ Rasmussen, deputy administrator for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Water Division.

here are no pencils or homework in Manuela Coffey’s summer school class. The 17 students from kindergarten to second grade don’t spend their time doing remedial math or reading homework. “The very first day of class we went for a walk on Tomah’s walking trail,” Coffey said.

Former student writes book about Tug Hollow schoolhouse By JOURDAN VIAN jourdan.vian@lee.net
Nancy Schroeder remembers her first day in the one-room schoolhouse in Tug Hollow. “I remember the teacher telling us about colors,” Schroeder said. The teacher asked Schroeder and the other young students to take out their crayons, and Schroeder was embarrassed because she didn’t have a yellow. “A little boy raised his hand and said, ‘I’ll give her a piece of mine,’” Schroeder said. That community spirit stayed with Schroeder for her entire school career and eventually inspired her to write her book, “Tug Hollow: A Wisconsin Community and Its One-Room School.” “It was all so special,” Schroeder said. The school was built into a hill in a community called Tug Hollow, about 12 miles outside of Tomah. “That school meant so much to the people who lived there,” Schroeder said.
SPARTA — The Monroe County Human Services Department will hire two economic support specialists paid for by state and federal funds in August. The Monroe County Board of Supervisors voted 18 to 4 with two absent to accept the state and federal money and create the positions Tuesday. Changes at the federal level made the additional positions necessary, according to Supervisor Carol Las. “With the Affordable Care Act … there’s going to be a greater demand of people seeking economic support,” Las said. Although the law has not yet gone completely into effect, several changes brought by the law will impact Monroe County’s Human Services Department, headed by Linda Lazer. “The changes are already occurring with regard to how BadgerCare is handled within the state of Wisconsin,” Lazer said. Although a number of the provisions in the law are controversial, the county is unable to wait until it is in effect to act,

The school was the heart of the small community, where most residents had gone to the school at some point, and many of the women had taught there. “What those teachers did was nothing short of amazing,” Schroeder said. Each teacher taught 33 classes to eight grade levels each day. “We did get a good education,” Schroeder said. Schroeder wrote the book after she retired to rural Arizona. “My memories kept going back to that one-room schoolhouse,” Schroeder said. Her family was connected to the schoolhouse. Her great-grandfather had helped build it in 1869, and her grandmother enrolled in it just six years later.

A Florida man is facing multiple charges of sexual assault of a child under the age of 13 in Monroe County, according to the Tomah Police Department. Iran Gonzalez-Cedeno, 54, Fort Myers, Fla., is accused of assaulting multiple girls under the age of 10 in the Tomah area from 2002 to 2006. Gonzalez-Cedeno was first charged with sexual assault in 2011. Gonzalez-Cedeno was arrested in Florida in March 2013 on the Monroe County warrant and extradited back to Wisconsin. He is in custody in the Vernon County. According to the report, the investigation has revealed at least two other young girls who say Gonzalez-Cedeno assaulted them. Gonzalez-Cedeno refused to speak to police.

“I think it’s a fair suspension. If you cheat, you have to pay for your mistakes. I think it's fair.” — Lyle Tucker, Keshena
A circuit court judge on Monday dismissed a Wescott property owner’s harassment, claim against the manager of the Sha wano City-County Airport. Robert Mueller filed a court petition July 9 seeking a temporary re straining order and/or in junction against Clarence Schampers over a stand of trees Mueller had planted on property outside of the airport fence. Schampers removed the trees in No vember.
Mueller said he had been given assurances by town of Wescott officials that the area outside the fence was township rightof-way and he could land scape the area to lessen the fence’s visual impact on the neighborhood. Mueller hired a landscaper in April 2012 to plant a stand of 10 trees between Gumaer Road and the airport fence. Mueller said the trees were worth about $2,700. In May 2012, Shawano County Corporation Coun sel Tony Kordus sent a letter to Mueller inform ing him the trees were on airport property and had to be removed. SEE CLAIM, A2

The reputation of the already popular Shawano Youth League tourna ments continues to grow, as players, coaches and fans from around the state enjoy the new and im proved concession stand at Memorial Park this summer. “They love the new con cession stand and how it’s laid out,” said Gina Bolin, head of concessions for the Shawano Youth League. Revenues from the annual Shawano Youth League tournaments were used to add 13 feet to the existing building, creating separate areas for the vol unteers making the food and those taking orders. Bolin and volunteer Mark Buerman said the new layout has made the stand more versatile and easier to operate for the people working during the tournaments. “It’s just a much more efficient process,” Buer man said. .

Burglary and felony theft charges have been filed against a couple who authorities say browsed Internet obituaries to find vacant homes to break into in several counties, including Sha wano. Seth R. Rirgason, 32, of Junc tion City, and Casandra M. Miller, 23, of Wisconsin Rapids, are ac cused of breaking into the resi dence of Eldore and Malinda Mielke in the town of Grant.
The Mielkes passed away about a day apart in early January, according to relatives’ statements to authorities. The burglary was reported Jan. 9. A safe contain ing about $12,000 in currency and more than $10,000 in coins and col lectibles, as well as jewelry, was reported stolen. According to the criminal com plaints filed this week in ShawanoMenominee County Circuit Court, the couple is also suspected of breaking into homes in Chippewa, TVempealeau, Dunn and Portage counties. The complaint states Miller told authorities that her boyfriend, Flirgason, searched online to find recent obituaries, then used the White Pages and an Internet maps
app to locate the addresses of the deceased people. She said FUrgason usually selected rural locations for the crimes and that she drove him to and from the burglaries, accord ing to the complaint, and that the burglaries started in September in Portage County. DNA from a cigarette butt left at the scene of the Mielke burglary tied Flirgason to the crime, ac cording to the criminal complaint. According to the criminal com plaint, Shawano County sheriff’s deputies had previous contact with Flirgason on Dec. 13 when he claimed to have run out of gas going to a residence in Wittenberg about 3:40 a.m. Flirgason fled the scene before deputies arrived,
leaving Miller in the vehicle. Flirgason was taken into cus tody April 17 by Chippewa County authorities investigating a bur glary there. Miller was found at Flirgason’s residence when authorities, in cluding Shawano County investi gators, executed a search warrant the same day. Among the items seized at the residence was a Confederate $5 bill believed to have come from the Mielke burglary. Flirgason and Miller could each face a maximum 12 1/2 years in prison and $25,000 fine if convict ed of burglary, and 10 years and $25,000 for felony theft. SEE BURGLARY, A2

DISPUTE Man accused of waving gun at neighbor
THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE ONEIDA COUNTY SEAT
Childhood friends join forces to assist returning veterans By Andy Hildebrand
RIVER NEWS FEATURE WRITER
This is the story of two childhood friends who, in a time of great uncertainty for the United States, chose two very different paths but ended up marching together in lockstep. After graduating from Rhinelander High School in 2005, David Chrisinger played college football while Brett Foley trained for war. The friendship that would one day span oceans began simply enough, many years before. “Brett and I played football and baseball together,” Chrisinger said. “When we got into junior high and high school we played paintball together. His family owned all this land and we would set up courses and barriers and played all the time.” “We were always playing sports and hung out together through high school,” Foley said. “We went to parties and had a lot of classes together. It was a lot of fun.” While the two focused on sports and the usual high school drama, America was expanding its presence in the Middle East. Although still teenagers, the two paid close attention. “It was a really strange time to be a senior in high school,” Chrisinger said. “It was the summer of ‘04 and we had just invaded Iraq, but we didn’t know yet that there were no WMDs (weapons of mass destruction). There was a lot of patriotic fervor and there was kind of that call to serve.”

Included in the 2013-15 state budget, signed into law about a month ago, is $52 million allocated to the Freight Railroad Preservation Program which provides grants covering up to 80 percent of the cost of efforts to purchase abandoned rail lines or rehabilitate railroad infrastructure. It’s nearly twice the amount of funding the program received in the last biennial state budget and considerably more than the $4.5 million in funding the program received more than 10 years ago. While there are other programs that address railroad infrastructure, the Freight Railroad Preservation Program represents the primary state resource for tackling longer segments of track and improving the railway system as a whole. At the local level, members of the Northwoods Rail Transit Commission — which is comprised of officials from 11 different northern Wisconsin counties — are gradually trying to make

If the town of Newbold decides to move forward with the design and creation of a town sign it will be because the people want one. The Newbold Town Board discussed the idea last Thursday but decided no action should be taken without public input. “Many, many, many months ago, this board had a slight discussion on a sign board to notify the public of events and information out here at our town hall,” Supervisor Ben Loma said. After mulling the idea over for a time, Loma said he first considered a non-digital sign with changeable letters those found at gas stations or fast food restaurants, but ultimately decided that type of sign would be too much work. “I saw that as a maintenance issue and as an issue during the winter,” Loma said. After some additional research, Loma said he decided that, should the town decide to more forward with a sign, it should choose a digital sign. He then contacted Keith Stern of Lakeland Sign and Graphics to come up with some ideas to present to the board. “I’ve seen a lot of municipalities going to these digital signs so I talked to Lake Tomahawk and got some information from them. Through them, I found out that they have dealt with Lakeland Signs and Keith Stern on a digital sign so I asked Keith to come to our meeting,” Loma said. Stern came forward with a preliminary design for what the sign could look like. In the initial design, there would be a top oval section with the town name and website and a bottom rectangular digitized section that would display the information on events and news in the town.

Officials say there’s untapped potential that would allow businesses to ship products more economically
strides to bolster the area’s rail infrastructure, which they say can be a more economical way for businesses to transport products. For example, one rail freight car can carry the equivalent of four truckloads and do so with considerably less fuel. Eventually, the commission may be at a point where it is trying to access state funding for a project through programs like the Freight Railroad Luce Preservation Program, but for the forseeable future efforts will be focused around the area of data collection, said Roger Luce, executive director of the Oneida County Economic Development Corporation which works closely with the commission. “There are a lot of potential big rail users who didn’t send
it back,” Luce said of a survey that the commission conducted with the help of the state Department of Transportation. Last week, the commission met and Dennis Leong and Kathleen Spencer of the DOT gave a preview of a report they plan to finalize and release in the fall. The report will be an analysis of the information collected through the surveys as well as freight profiles for each individual county represented in the Northwoods Rail Transit Commission. The aim of the report is to look at current rail use in the area as well as the untapped potential for future use. Such data can be the catalyst for spurring on a rail line project, whether that means reopening an out-ofservice line or upgrading a segment of railway, Leong said. “If you’re going to bring freight service back to an area, you need the customers. If you have those customers, then there are
state funds that can be accessed,” he said. Out of approximately 1,100 surveys sent out to businesses in the transmit commission’s region, 190 responses were received. Of those businesses that responded, 39 said they currently use rail. Among the 151 businesses that said they do not use rail, 43 indicated they would consider it depending on factors like cost and availability. Leong said if those 43 potential users started using rail for shipping purposes, it would mean additional inbound and outbound carloads in the thousands. “And that’s just based on those who responded.” Leong said. “So the volume may be there. That’s a good sign.” Luce said he envisions more business outreach being done and more information being collected beyond the DOT’s report before the Northwoods Rail Transit Commission starts to see positive results from its efforts.

For the second time, the University of Wisconsin – Baraboo/ Sauk County will seek proposals from firms to build and manage the campus’ first residence hall. A prior solicitation yielded only one response that campus officials and other stakeholders said was undesirable. The company that bid on the project included in its proposal a plan to build extra classroom space and lease it to the university. Now, college officials, and representatives of the city and county, have developed an updated request for proposals that they hope will yield better results. “The campus is seeking a partner to enter into a comprehensive development agreement for planning, design, financing, construction, management and program operation of a student residence life facility,” said Phil Wedekind, Campus Commission Chairperson. “No tax dollars will fund this project. Instead, in a unique arrangement, our local governmental entities and the campus will work with a private partner to bring the residence hall to fruition.” On-campus enrollment has grown from 566 students in 2003 to 597 in the most recent academic year, campus officials say. The campus has not offered on-site housing since it opened in 1968. “On-campus housing will be attractive to UW-BSC students from Sauk County and beyond, including international students,” said UW-BSC Dean Thomas Pleger. “It will also allow for enhanced summer programming through our Continuing Education department and for UW-BSC to offer overnight conferences on campus.”

e describes himself as a onetime “outhouse lawyer” and was involved in the cases against the Chicago Seven. He taught Tommy Thompson politics, and as a judge he didn’t allow a chicken to testify. “It was never boring,” said Judge Richard Wright. “I’d write a book, except they’d have to call it fiction, because they wouldn’t believe the things that come into court.” After 46 years in law, Wright is hanging up his robe for the last time on Wednesday as
Marquette County Circuit Court Judge. “He is an irreplaceable icon,” said Ben Bult, who served 16 years as court commissioner for Marquette County, and on Thursday begins his term as judge. “He has got a sense of humor that is just unbelievable,” Bult said of Wright. “There is no way I can begin to approach filling his shoes in just making (the work) an enjoyable experience.” Wright, 71, has spent 18 years on the bench and is hoping to return there soon as a reserve — or substitute — judge. “It’s going to be such a change,” he said. “I’ve been around this courthouse since 1974.” But the path that led him there might have gone many different directions.

Attendees might use both arms to Raise the Praise Friday as the Christian music festival marks its 10th year. Event organizer Harley Smalley began helping with the original event Critical Mass, and now it’s his fourth time at the helm. “We have a small team, but we’re very good and we do a lot with a little. You just got to be creative and we try to be as creative as we could and bring people from different walks of life and backgrounds. It’s not only to entertain but impact our community in a positive way,” Smalley said. Speakers and musicians featured at the event have walked rough roads, he said, and they can relate to others who struggled. “When we look for somebody, we look for some one who can help with wisdom and knowledge with the situation,” Smalley said. The free event beginning Friday will be at Veterans Memorial Fields at the Columbia County Fairgrounds in Portage. However, volunteers are needed to set up the venue on Thursday and help break it down Saturday. Last year, the concert was moved from Pauquette Park to the agriculture building because of potential rain. It will remain the location from now on because the event is held rain or shine, Smalley said. It allows for more flexibility with the weather and parking. “We’re expecting more people this year than last year. I had a revelation it was going to rain and it did,” he said.

be sentenced on three counts of first-degree intentional homicide and one count each of felony murder, attempted firstdegree intentional homicide and arson. Instead, one day before Wand’s scheduled sentencing, Wand’s attorney, Frank Medina, filed a motion to allow Wand to withdraw his guilty pleas. As a result, Wand’s scheduled sentencing hearing in Lafayette County Circuit Court this morning has been delayed until Aug. 22 at the earliest. The charges are in connection with the
Sept. 7 Argyle house fire that killed his three nephews — Allen, 7, Jeffery, 5, and Joseph, 3 — and injured his niece, Jessica, 2, and sister-in-law, Sharon. Medina told Green County Circuit Judge Thomas Vale there were “issues that should be addressed that justify withdrawal of the plea,” including “inconsistent statements by Sharon Wand” and misdemeanor charges that “brings questions of credibility as a witness.” Sharon Wand is facing two counts of criminal trespass and three counts of theft
of up to $2,500 in connection with alleged thefts at Bloomfield Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Facility near Dodgeville, where she had been rehabilitating after she was released from UW Hospital in Madison. In addition, Jeremy Wand said he was not “all on board” with pleading guilty to the charges when he pleaded guilty June 12. Wand claimed he had been coerced by his co-counsel, Miguel Michel, into pleading guilty to the charges. See WAND page 2A u

One of three Only courthouse project gets Grant County go-ahead by David Timmerman newseditor@tds.net
LANCASTER — The Grant County Board of Supervisors has been discussing for some time the funding of three proposed building projects. The opportunity arose from paying off the Administration Building and current low interest rates. But the County Board July 16 went conservative on capital projects and decided to only move forward with repairing the courthouse at this point. The discussion on the building projects started with Board Chairman Larry Wolf asking Unified Services Director
Neal Blackburn to share information he learned while attending a forum in Stevens Point. The conference involved the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Wisconsin Human Services Association, and presented Blackburn with insight on how the state government is working towards regionalizing the services local county departments are doing now. “It’s coming from the very top and it’s coming strongly,” Blackburn told the board, stating he had confirmed the movement with a trusted source at the state level. “We are going to go [with]
Human Services — it may include health, it may not.” Blackburn told the board that the model appeared to be similar to that of Family Care, which took programs dealing with long-term care that was being handled by different county agencies, and went to a regional entity created by a group of counties. At first, that regional consortium handled the funding for those long-term programs, contracting with the counties, until it was determined that there may be future shortfalls, at See BUILDINGS page 5A u

Missing Centuria two-year-old Library Board found in trunk of locked car hires director by JASON DEMOE Contributing Writer When the Polk County Dispatch Center received a call at 8:49 p.m. on July 16 regarding a two year old boy who had gone missing from a house on the 1500 block of 180th Street near Centuria, a series of events was set in motion that would bring an entire community together to find the child. According to his mother, two year old Isaiah Theis was last seen in his house playing with his brother at approximately 7:30 p.m.
Isaiah Theis Upon realizing Isaiah was no longer in the house, the family, friends and neighbors began to search. After scouring the grounds surrounding the Theis home for over an hour, the group
was unable to locate the boy. At this point, they contacted the Polk County Sheriff’s Department, who requested the assistance of both Centuria and Balsam Lake fire departments for manpower to assist in the search. Social media websites lit up with news of the missing child and, almost immediately, about 150 people arrived to assist. That number grew steadily as the search continued. Organized searches of the surrounding area were begun and the Minnesota State Patrol helicopter joined the effort with their
Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) unit. Unfortunately, no areas of interest were identified. At 1:30 a.m., after consulting with the family, the search was suspended until 6:00 a.m. because it was becoming dangerous for searchers to continue in the dark. It also provided law enforcement an opportunity to prepare for the next day’s search. Overnight, the story broke online and more than 400 residents arrived to assist in the search.

The Board of Trustees and staff of the Osceola Public Library are pleased to announce that Kelly McBride has been hired as our new Library Director, with a planned start date of August 5, 2013. McBride holds a Master’s Degree in history from Minnesota State University–Mankato, and received her Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Minnesota Duluth. She is currently working toward a Master’s Degree in library and information science at St. Catherine University in St. Paul. More importantly, McBride brings a passion for community involvement and a dedication to all of the services that a library can provide. As she stated to us when she applied for the position: “A library can attract a large variety of people – more than just book lovers and computer users. It can be a community gathering place where knowledge is both attained and shared. This is why I have great appreciation for the Osceola library and Inspire
Kelly McBride with her youngest daughter, Charlotte. Osceola. The philosophy: learn, share, create, and come together encapsulates exactly what excites me so much about the future of libraries. . . The opportunity to work in a small community near the river is incredibly exciting to me. I am drawn to this region and its people.” The Osceola Public Library will host a “welcome” party for McBride on Aug. 17 at Mill Pond Park, just before the Movies under the Stars presentation of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The event for McBride will start at 7 p.m., with the movie starting at dusk. Refreshments will be served.

Lighting Cascade Falls:
A great idea times three by RANDI SMITH Publisher A waterfall within a town’s boundaries is unique. Lighting them for night viewing is not usual either. Last Thursday, July 11, the falls were lit before a large crowd in a community celebration of this lovely natural wonder. But two other times through the years, lights have adorned the Cascade Falls for nighttime visitors.

by JASON DEMOE Contributing Writer The Polk County board room was filled with citizens on July 16, most of whom were anxious for a supervisor vote to determine the fate of the county home health care program. A debate months in the making was scheduled to conclude that evening, but it was not to be. The hotly contested issue centering on whether to keep or eliminate Polk County home health care was on the agenda for a vote and the public was anxious for an answer. Supervisor Brian Masters dropped a bombshell when he requested that a vote on the issue be delayed for an entire month. Masters said he was communicating with County Administrator Dana Frey in an effort to gain more information and insight into the home health care program. When pushed for details about what new insights he thought he could gain from more research, Masters simply stated that he was “looking into the statistics
regarding the program” and refused to clarify further. Brian Masters The issue came to a vote by the 21 supervisors present. Eight voted against postponing the vote and 13 voted for. Even though the vote was delayed, Chairman William Johnson did allow invested members of the community to come forward and speak to the issue. Due to the large amount of public interest, the rules of order were suspended to allow for more than the typical 30 minutes of public comment. “This morning, folks, I awoke at 4 a.m. with a great sense of fear and anxiety about losing my home health care,” Pastor Andy Tetzlaf of Balsam Lake said. “I simply could not manage my health before I had the help of a nurse. I take 24 pills a day.

Omro man’s labor of love Achieving his dreams by building his own plane By Julie Schmidt With EAA AirVenture on the horizon, it’s time for folks to look skyward and start thinking about planes. But there are a few folks whose minds are in the wild blue yonder for more than just one week a year. Omro’s Mike Beck is among them, and in order to pursue his dream of flight, he’s been building a plane from the ground up. He’s lived in Omro since third grade and didn’t come from a flying background, but his grandparents lived off 20th in Oshkosh so he was able to watch the planes whenever he visited. “It was just in my blood,” he said. “I am the first in my family to become a pilot and Omro herald photo

Ridin’ for a Reason
Another great turnout By Julie Schmidt For most of these guys, no reason is needed to shine up their tractors and get together to talk shop. But last Saturday they had a very special purpose as they gathered for the 4th Annual Ridin’ for a Reason – raising money for Dennis Kallas as he battles cancer. Many of the riders already knew Dennis, who serves as vice president of the Omro Antique Tractor Club, but others had never met him before. They just have a strong sense of community and want to help their neighbors whenever they can, and the event organized each year by Louie Hintz, Russ Kleinschmidt and Bill Carpenter is a great way to do it. This year, 39 tractors arrived at the Hintz farm on Liberty School Road. Those without a tractor were welcome to climb aboard one of the wagons and come along for the 21-mile trip through the countryside. It was a tractor lover’s dream.
Entries ranged from a one-yearold, state-of-the-art John Deere to a 1944 Ford and everything in between. During the lineup and the picnic that followed the ride, the enthusiasts showed off their beloved tractors and checked out everyone else’s. They even competed in some good-natured tractor races, although the winners were determined by who crossed the finish line last without killing their engine. Dennis came along on his Farmall H, and the beneficiaries of the past three rides attended as well: Bonnie Coats, Jim Wesner and Patsy Davis. There’s no entry fee for Ridin’ for a Reason, just a free will offering taken up at the end of the day. Kleinschmidt said they ended up with over $1,300 for Dennis. “That’s about the nicest job in the world to have,” Kleinschmidt said after they dropped it off. “He was really touched.” See REASON, Page 6

SUBMITTED ILLUSTRATION
Broadstreet Menomonie will provide a welcome visual change to the landscape stopped at the traffic light at South Broadway and Fourth Avenue.
With the final plans on the agenda, Broadstreet Menomonie developer Brett Naylor recently told the city council, “I keep getting more and more excited.” The council also seemed to reflect his eagerness to replace the long-vacant Leever’s grocery
store with a four-story mixeduse retail and apartment building at 503 South Broadway. According to the planned unit development plan approved by the council, Menomonie Market Food Co-op still has plans to occupy a 12,000-square-foot retail space on the ground floor of the new building. But instead of nine three-story, one-bedroom townhouses planned for the southern wing of the project, there will be one-bedroom apartments on each of the three floors. The original plan presented last year called for a total of 96

bedrooms, but now there will be 42 one-bedroom units and 24 two-bedroom apartments. City Engineer Charlie Jones pointed out that underground parking — 61 spaces in all — has been shifted to just under the building. Last year’s plan called for underground parking under the above-ground asphalt parking lot. Although the developer looked at adding a second level of below-ground parking, Jones said, it proved not to be feasible. The surface lots will provide a See PLANS, A2
Wakanda adds section of fifth grade By BRETT HART brett.hart@lee.net
CHIPPEWA VALLEY NEWSPAPERS Chippewa County’s unemployment rate increased by 0.1 percent between May and June, according to figures released by the state. The Department of Workforce Development reported that Chippewa increased to 6.5 percent in June, not including seasonal trends. For neighboring counties, Dunn County had the best June rate, at 6.3 percent. Clark shared Chippewa’s June rate, 6.5 percent, however Clark’s rate decreased 0.1 percent from May. For the Eau Claire metro area, the rate increased, going from 5.9 percent in May to 6.3 percent in June. All 12 of the state’s major metro areas had rate increases. Statewide, 56 of the 72 counties had rate increases over the months. St. Croix County was lowest in June, at 4.6 percent, and Menominee County was highest, at 17.7 percent. Wisconsin’s overall June unemployment rate was 7 percent, an increase of 0.3 percent from May. The national rate increased 0.5 percent over the month to 7.8 percent.

The midway at the Dunn County Fair was packed with thrill seekers Thursday night enjoying the sights and sounds of the carnival.
Wakanda Elementary will add a section at Grade 5 for the 2013-14 school year due to an increased number of students, but it comes at the cost of River Heights Elementary, which loses a section for one school year. There are currently 23 students per class at River Heights. Although the upcoming fifth grade is certainly robust, the 4K program is currently down about 40 students from last year, according to Menomonie Area School District Administrator Chris Stratton. In other action: At Monday’s school board meeting, preliminary reports indicated that 162 students may be open-enrolling out of the district, 119 of which have never been enrolled in the district. Virtual schooling accounts for 57 of the those 162 students. The board is in the process of approving a police liaison contract to keep officer Chris King on board for a second year. The district pays 60 percent of the officer’s annual salary and 50 percent of the equipment costs. To remain competitive with surrounding districts, a recommendation of a 2 percent wage increase for substitutes was proposed. The board approved the resignation of Judith Smith (director of food services) and Lori Halpin (sixth-grade English instructor) as well as the employment of Willow Anderson (special education, middle school), Amanda Hoffman (language arts, sixth grade), Nicholas Filipiak (science instructor, high school), Steven Jennings (technology education instructor, high school) and Jamie Swiontek (reading/math intervention instructor, Downsville Elementary/St. Joseph’s Schools).

Students listened intently to School of Hospitality Leadership professors Peter D’Souza and Phil McGuirk, conspicuous in their crisp white chef coats and tall hats in Heritage Hall. Inteus Garza, who attends Wausau West High School, paid close attention. He works part-time as a dishwasher at a restaurant and hopes to move up soon to become a waiter. “In order to do that, I have to learn,” he said. Garza and other
teenagers came to UWStout with another goal too. They hope to go to college for real. The Precollege Program is designed to help make that possible by exposing students to campus life, helping them academically and exploring a career path. About 100 students from Wisconsin participated in three weeklong programs at UW-Stout on July 7-13 and July 14-20. Each program focused on an academic area at UW-Stout.

Plastic litter found in Great Lakes

By John Flesher AP Environmental Writer
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Already ravaged by toxic algae, invasive mussels and industrial pollution, the Great Lakes now confront another potential threat that few had even imagined until recently: untold millions of plastic litter bits, some visible only through a microscope. Scientists who have studied gigantic masses of floating plastic in the world’s oceans are now reporting similar discoveries in the lakes that make up nearly one-fifth of the world’s fresh water. They retrieved the particles from Lakes Superior, Huron and Erie last year. This summer, they’re widening the search to Lakes Michigan and Ontario, skimming the surface with finely meshed netting dragged behind sailing vessels. “If you’re out boating in the Great Lakes, you’re not going to see large islands of plastic,” said Sherri Mason, a chemist with State University of New York at Fredonia and one of the project leaders. “But all these bits of plastic are out there.” Experts say it’s unclear how long “microplastic” pollution has been in the lakes or how it is affecting the environment. Studies are under way to determine whether fish are eating the particles. The newly identified hazard is the latest of many for a Great Lakes fish population that has been hammered by natural enemies like the parasitic sea lamprey, which nearly wiped out lake trout, and man-made contamination. Through it all, the fishing industry remains a pillar of the region’s tourist economy. Until the research is completed, it won’t be clear whether the pollution will affect fishing guidelines, the use of certain plastics or cities that discharge treated wastewater into the lakes. Scientists have already made a couple startling finds. The sheer number of plastic specks in some samples hauled from Lake Erie, the shallowest and smallest by volume, were higher than in comparable samples taken in the oceans. Also, while it’s unknown where

Dawn Gunderson’s motivation was understandable. Her mother, Connie Boelter of Appleton, had been slain and no arrest had been made for months. So she and her siblings did
what many family members of homicide victims do: They offered a reward. Gunderson and two other children of Boelter, who was killed in her home in 2006, put together a $10,000 reward fund in hopes of finding the killer. The strategy has yet to pay off with an arrest, but that’s not unusual when rewards — even fivefigure amounts — are offered in unsolved murder cases.

the national organization bestknown for soliciting crime-solving tips, caps its rewards for any crime at $1,000. “Beyond $1,000 you really run
into problems with multiple people saying they have information just to get the reward,” said David Byrnes, treasurer of Green Bay Area Crime Stoppers.

HIALEAH, Fla. — The gunman who went on a shooting rampage at his South Florida apartment building, killing six people, was a lonely man who spoke about having pent up anger, those who knew him said Sunday. Pedro Vargas, 42, lived on the fourth floor of a barren, concrete apartment complex in the Miami suburb of Hialeah with his elderly mother. He rarely spoke with others there, and confided to a man who worked out at the same gym that he liked to work out his anger by lifting weights and trying to get big. “He’d just say this was the only thing that would keep him normal, pulling out all the anger in the gym,” Jorge Bagos told The Associated Press. Bagos said the gunman expressed frustration over bad experiences with women and losing all his hair from using steroids. On Friday night, Vargas set a combustible liquid on fire in his apartment, sending the unit into flames,

Brian Bertrang of Strum today will be receiving the Thrill of Victory Award from Sacred Heart Hospital for his advanced and speedy recovery from sepsis, a serious condition caused by an overwhelming immune response to infection that leads to widespread inflammation.
Man’s miraculous recovery from deadly infection earns him area hospital’s Thrill of Victory Award By Martha Landry Leader-Telegram staff Sometimes change is planned and sometimes change is completely unexpected. Last year, for the Fourth of July, Brian Bertrang of Strum was camping with his family at Charlie Brown Campground in Gordon — something he has done since he was a boy. On the fifth, after a prick on the fingers, Brian began developing flu-like symptoms. Thinking it was dehydration, the family didn’t panic much. As time went on, Brian’s symptoms quickly worsened. By 10 p.m. that evening he was being rushed to St. Mary’s Hospital in Duluth, Minn., for septic and Strep-pneumonia. Hospital staff told his wife, Jessica, to start calling fam-

Through the fight he lost both legs beneath the knee and his
right-hand index finger and half the thumb. After a month in the Duluth hospital and a month at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Brian, 38, was transferred to Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire for recovery and rehab. Now, just over a year later, Brian is receiving Sacred Heart’s Thrill of Victory Award for his advanced and speedy recovery. In March, Brian received his prosthetic legs. There are still a few kinks to work out, but he’s already started getting his life back to normal — driving, walking and being a father to his children, 8-year-old Maddie and 5-year-old Max. “I did it a lot quicker than
By The Associated Press MADISON — The majority of unsolved killings in Wisconsin over the last decade occurred in Milwaukee and involved black men as victims. A review published Sunday by Gannett Wisconsin Media found that Wisconsin had 277 such cases between 2003 and 2012 that remain unsolved, although that left the state with a better percentage of cleared cases than the national average. The analysis of state justice statistics showed policing agencies solved 82 percent of the 1,564 slayings during the past decade. The national clearance rate is around 65 percent. The average victim of an unsolved killing in Wisconsin in the last decade was 33 years old. A gun was used in nearly half the cases, which investigators say typically makes it harder to solve because shooters usually avoid physical contact with their victims. Time is crucial in wrongful death investigations. A 2011 study by the University of New Mexico found more than half of solved cases are cracked in the first 48 hours. By the

Where the sidewalk ends? Will design dispute end project
Free lunch in Lodi
By Rachelle Blair

Reporter
It could be the end for the proposed Strangeway Avenue sidewalk improvement project after city of Lodi officials disputed a state-required crosswalk design.
The project is part of a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) plan that includes crosswalk improvements and educational programming. The proposed plan calls for a diagonal crosswalk at Sauk Street and Strangeway Avenue, but state engineers say the crosswalk should be moved 40 feet up the road to cross at a 90-degree angle. Public works director Randy Herwig says the move will
add unnecessary cost to the project. At the July 16 city council meeting, Herwig said the Wisconsin Department of Transportation wouldn’t approve the project unless the crosswalk is relocated. “If you can show through engineering that it is impractical to put in a perpendicular crosswalk they will reconsider it,” Herwig said. Herwig said the project
is basically at a standstill unless the additional engineering, which is estimated to cost $6,800, is completed. “It strikes me as being held hostage,” council member Rog Severson said. The city of Lodi has $41,894 in SRTS grant funding that could be used toward the project if finished by 2014. The total project is estimated at $135,000, using the SRTS
funding would leave approximately $93,000 unfunded. But if plans don’t Randy move forHerwig ward, the City of Lodi city forfeits Public Works the funding Director and would still have to pay $25,000 for See SIDEWALK, page 16

Schools will provide safe haven in crisis Emergency site agreement By Jennifer Fetterly Managing Editor
Chuck Pursell Lodi School District Administrator
If there was a natural disaster or emergency crisis in the Lodi area where would injured or displaced
people go? The Lodi schools. Earlier this month, the Lodi School District
offered a five-year agreement to the city of Lodi, the village of Dane and the towns of Lodi and West Point to provide emergency shelter during a Safe Haven natural The Lodi disElementary astSchool will serve as a emergency er, site in the event seof a natural vere wedisaster
ather or other crisis. The memorandum of understanding designates the Lodi Elementary School as the
main site, with the Lodi Middle School and Lodi High School, serving as alternative locations. District Administrator Chuck Pursell said in the past there's was a informal pact between the city but nothing was set in stone until now. The approved agreement grants permission to use the facilities, equipment during a crisis at no cost but does stipulate that parties are responsible for any damage, either intentional or by accident.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources wants to expedite bringing a public shooting range to Columbia County. DNR representaAndy Ross tives recently Columbia County approached county Board of officials looking to Supervisor chairman bring a public shooting range to the county, county board of supervisors chairman Andy Ross announced at the board’s July 17 meeting. Now, Ross said, the county has to assess its role in the potential shooting range. Over the next six weeks, the DNR will look for viable locations to build a shooting range. Meanwhile, Columbia County officials – primarily, the Public Safety Committee – will also research potential site. The main question for the county to consider is whether the shooting range will be on county or state land. Ross said there are three options. The first option would be letting the state build the range on state land and maintain all responsibility for its operation. The second option would also be built on state land, but having the county partner with the state in its operation. The third option is to build on county land and have the county take on all responsibilities for operation and maintenance of the range. Although that would mean more liability for the county, Ross said he favors this option. “No matter who owns it, we’re going to be left with it,” Ross said. “When the parking lot needs plowing or there is vandalism, we’re going to be responsible.” See RANGE, page 11

By Dave Fidlin News Graphic Correspondent Mequon — The chief administrator of the MequonThiensville School District shared his thoughts on two weighty issues concerning public education this week. Using his superintendent’s report to sound off on issues of concern, Demond Means continued to chastise efforts to expand the school voucher program across the state. Last month, Means sent a letter to three state legislators – Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills; Rep. Dan Knodl, RGermantown; and Rep. Jim Ott, R-Mequon – about the legislation and its possible implications on public schools. Darling, who co-chaired the Joint Finance Committee that reviewed Gov. Scott Walker’s 2013-15 biennial budget, went on record recently and shared her reasons for supporting the voucher program. But Means, who blasted the decision at the district’s June board meeting, continued to express concern about the long-term impacts on public education. “I’m very concerned about what the next steps are,” Means said Monday as he continued his discussion of the issue. Means said he is sending a formal invitation to Darling,

But Ronsman said that is not compliant with state law, which requires that anything sold at the fish fry be made in a state-inspected kitchen. “If someone wanted to come to our kitchen and make desserts, they can,” he said, adding that the auxiliary women’s home kitchens are probably cleaner than a lot of those approved by the state. But he said it can only take a bad egg to create a problem. “It’s a pre-emptive strike,” he said. Cedarburg Legion House Chairman Gene Szudrowitz said the issue came up a couple years ago and has been discussed occasionally. Now they have decided to take action. “You’re gambling; that’s the problem,” he said. “We no longer want to gamble.” The new, purchased desserts won’t cost the customers anything more. He said the homemade ones were not exactly free to the post because each baker received free tickets to the fish fry. (Lisa Curtis can be reached at lcurtis@conleynet.com.)
Grafton OKs $78,000 annual pay for fire chief William Rice to fill new full-time position
News Graphic Facebook Question of the Week:
Cedarburg — The illness a young boy suffered several years ago will affect what’s on the menu at the monthly Cedarburg American Legion fish fry. As soon as this Friday, favorites such as the homemade apple kuchen, the Ho Ho tortes and the pumpkin cheesecake will be replaced with store-bought desserts that some say will not go as far and will definitely cost the Legion more to serve. It is a proactive move by post members, however, after a Legion post elsewhere in the nation was sued when a child got sick from something he ate at the post, said Cedarburg Legion member Terry Ronsman, who oversees kitchen operations during the fish fries. “We said, ‘Let’s err on the side of caution,’” Ronsman said. Since the start of the fish fries some 25 or 30 years ago, members of the Legion auxiliary have been preparing an array of baked goods in their
By Melanie Boyung News Graphic Staff Grafton — The village board voted to approve a compensation plan for the new full-time Grafton fire chief Monday, removing the final hurdle for William Rice to begin his tenure as the village’s first-ever fulltime fire chief. The board voted to approve the package 4-3, with Jim Grant, Richard Reick and Susan Meinecke dissenting. Rice’s compensation package includes a starting salary of $78,000, as well as insurance benefits, use of a department vehicle, paid holidays and retirement benefits. Grant indicated compensation as
the reason for the dissent, not any objection to the choice of fire chief. “It’s not our job to choose a chief. That’s already been done,” said Grant. “It’s our job to decide about Rice salary. I believe when he’s starting he should start at the middle to bottom of the range, at about $68,000. Then, he can certainly rise as he gains experience.” According to village President Jim Brunnquell, the village usually begins a new department head’s salary at just below the midpoint of the pay range; village Administrator Darrell Hofland indicated the pay range for fire chief is approximately
$68,000 to $92,000. “I look forward to this being the start of many successful years,” Brunnquell said. Rice possesses previous fire department management experience, having spent 16 years as a chief officer in the city of Wauwatosa Fire Department. He has also been part of MABAS, the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System, for as long as it has been operating in Wisconsin. He and several other firefighters in Milwaukee County had their department established as a MABAS department and joined the emergency mutual aid program. “When we did that, we brought a lot of other counties with us,” said Rice. In addition to his full-time career as a firefighter, Rice has volunteered with the Grafton Fire Department for the past five years. Rice has already
lived within the Grafton community for 17 years. “Any department going through changes, it’s difficult,” he said. “It’s important that everyone knows I respect what this department has done the past 117 years. We need to rely on that same volunteer staff.” The board also issued a collective thank you to the members of the police and fire commission for their work in finding a new fire chief, and another thank you to the volunteer members of the Grafton Fire Department for their dedication and support during the process. According to comments made by Rice and Hofland after Monday evening’s meeting, Rice can and will now start as soon as possible. (Melanie Boyung can be reached at mboyung@conleynet.com)
Cedarburg Town Board approves digital signs Signs may rotate and twinkle By Dave Fidlin News Graphic Correspondent Cedarburg — Digital signs will be permitted in the town of Cedarburg, following a narrow vote last week by members of the town board.
During their regular monthly board meeting, officials voted 3-2 in favor of a proposal that will give businesses and organizations the opportunity to install digital signs within certain parameters Since January, the plan commission has been weighing the pros and cons of allowing digital signs throughout the town. As defined, the signs may be able to rotate, feature moving parts and contain
reflective elements that sparkle or twinkle in the sunlight. The ordinance does come with a number of caveats. For example, businesses and organizations operating near one of the town’s busiest areas – the 5 Corners intersection – will not be allowed to install electronic signs that scroll because the feature has been deemed as too distracting to motorists.
Other stipulations include that benchmark signs not exceed 32 feet in length. Also, when a sign does depict animation, flashing or scrolling, only one color is permitted. The board had varied opinions while deliberating on the issue last week. Supervisor Gary Wickert took aim

Plastic litter found in Great Lakes

By John Flesher AP Environmental Writer
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Already ravaged by toxic algae, invasive mussels and industrial pollution, the Great Lakes now confront another potential threat that few had even imagined until recently: untold millions of plastic litter bits, some visible only through a microscope. Scientists who have studied gigantic masses of floating plastic in the world’s oceans are now reporting similar discoveries in the lakes that make up nearly one-fifth of the world’s fresh water. They retrieved the particles from Lakes Superior, Huron and Erie last year. This summer, they’re widening the search to Lakes Michigan and Ontario, skimming the surface with finely meshed netting dragged behind sailing vessels. “If you’re out boating in the Great Lakes, you’re not going to see large islands of plastic,” said Sherri Mason, a chemist with State University of New York at Fredonia and one of the project leaders. “But all these bits of plastic are out there.” Experts say it’s unclear how long “microplastic” pollution has been in the lakes or how it is affecting the environment. Studies are under way to determine whether fish are eating the particles. The newly identified hazard is the latest of many for a Great Lakes fish population that has been hammered by natural enemies like the parasitic sea lamprey, which nearly wiped out lake trout, and man-made contamination. Through it all, the fishing industry remains a pillar of the region’s tourist economy. Until the research is completed, it won’t be clear whether the pollution will affect fishing guidelines, the use of certain plastics or cities that discharge treated wastewater into the lakes. Scientists have already made a couple startling finds. The sheer number of plastic specks in some samples hauled from Lake Erie, the shallowest and smallest by volume, were higher than in comparable samples taken in the oceans. Also, while it’s unknown where

Paying for justice: Experts say rewards are useful in some cases TRACKING WISCONSIN'S UNSOLVED MURDERS

Dawn Gunderson’s motivation was understandable. Her mother, Connie Boelter of Appleton, had been slain and no arrest had been made for months. So she and her siblings did
what many family members of homicide victims do: They offered a reward. Gunderson and two other children of Boelter, who was killed in her home in 2006, put together a $10,000 reward fund in hopes of finding the killer. The strategy has yet to pay off with an arrest, but that’s not unusual when rewards — even fivefigure amounts — are offered in unsolved murder cases.

the national organization bestknown for soliciting crime-solving tips, caps its rewards for any crime at $1,000. “Beyond $1,000 you really run
into problems with multiple people saying they have information just to get the reward,” said David Byrnes, treasurer of Green Bay Area Crime Stoppers.

Second trial set for man paralyzed in 2010 crash Defendants claim judge’s remarks show his bias New Richmond’s Director of Parks and Recreation Joe Kerlin (left) and Friends of the Dog Park Co-Chairperson Erica Kufus (right) cut the ribbon to signify the official opening of the New Richmond Dog Park during a ceremony July 16.
Bark in the park Community welcomes new facility for pets and their owners By Jeff Holmquist jholmquist@rivertowns.net Tails were wagging the evening of July 16. Pet lovers, dogs and interested community members gathered at the newly developed New Richmond Dog Park to take part in an official ribbon cutting
ceremony that night. Three dogs took the inaugural run through the nicely-mowed and fenced field. Pet owners took a leisurely tour of the park in the 90-degree heat. The consensus was that the city park was a keeper. Joe Kerlin, outgoing parks and recreation director for the City of New Richmond, kicked off the ribbon cutting ceremony by noting this was the final meeting of his local career. Kerlin heads to Sheboygan to begin his new job there this week. Kerlin noted that it was local resident Erica Kufus who brought up the idea of a dog park about six years ago.
Everyone admitted it was a great idea, Kerlin told those in attendance, but an appropriate site was hard to identify. “As with anything, it was a question of trying to find space,” he said. When the idea of using a capped city landfill for the dog park location, Kerlin said everything started to fall into place. A “Friends of the Dog Park” group was formed with the help of co-chairpersons Kufus and Jody Klescewski. The group took just three months to raise the necessary matching funds to develop the dog park.

Clinics’ association will disband By Judy Wiff jwiff@rivertowns.net A lawsuit over the clinics’ management has been settled after the parties asked a St. Croix County judge to dismiss the case and announced that Hudson Physicians, River Falls Medical Clinic and New Richmond Clinic will end their affiliation. A press release approved by the three divisions of Western Wisconsin Medical Associates said Monday that the clinics will discontinue operating WWMA, a 16-year-old partnership, effective Oct. 1. “Hudson Physicians, New Richmond
Clinic and River Falls Medical Clinic will continue to provide services to patients at each of their locations without interruption,” said the statement provided by Hudson Physicians Administrator Ernie Wallin. “Patients may continue to contact their providers and clinics at the same phone number and location as they have in the past.” Hudson Physicians includes Hudson Physicians Quick Care and Sports Spine & Occupational Medicine, and River Falls Medical Clinic includes clinics in Ellsworth and Spring Valley as well as River Falls. Last November three Hudson doctors — Dennis Hartung, Mark Stannard and
Greg Young — asked the court to dissolve the umbrella organization of physicians who staff the clinics. The three doctors claimed the clinics were deadlocked over management issues. The areas of conflict alleged in the complaint included a stalemate over a two-year-old plan to build a new outpatient urgent care clinic, surgery center and rehabilitation center and a general difference in philosophy regarding the services the clinics should provide. At that time the River Falls clinic was opposed to dissolving the longstanding WWMA partnership, said Samantha

A second St. Croix County civil trial has been set for February 2014 in the lawsuit
filed by William Blaine Sandoval, 63, New Richmond, against Ayres Associates of Madison and its insurer, Continental Casualty Co. Last September a jury found that Sandoval, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was 100 percent responsible for injuries he suffered Aug. 3, 2010, when his pickup apparently hydroplaned, left the road and hit a retaining wall.

‘They had my back’ Woman says Salvation Army helped her heal by Gretta Stark gstark@rivertowns.net Erma Goodman was doing what she did every morning, walking across the porch and down the steps of her apartment as she prepared to take her daughters to school, when she slipped and fell, landing on the cement sidewalk. “When I landed, I just remember screaming, thinking I really did something bad,” Goodman said. “When my daughters heard me screaming, they came, and really all I could say was ‘Call the ambulance.’” Goodman fell on
Valentine’s Day of 2012. As it was winter, the cold made her veins contract to the point where the EMTs were unable to give her any pain medication until after she was in the ambulance. “So they put that neck brace on me and rolled me over onto (the gurney),” Goodman said. “Every time I would take a breath, I cannot even explain the shooting pain that would go everywhere.” Goodman later learned she broke her back, and missed paralyzation by inches. In order to help heal , Goodman was forced to spend a long time lying on her back and four months wearing a brace constantly. “Even getting up, even rolling over, everything was beyond pain,” Goodman

By Jenny Hudalla jhudalla@rivertowns.net With concerts, cows and carnival rides, the 2013 St. Croix County Fair lived up to its theme of family fun. Held from July 17-21 in Glenwood City, the fair received an outpouring of community support through volunteerism, donations and attendance. Providing local families with the opportunity to learn more about the agricultural community and enjoy the outdoors, the fair has attracted around 20,000 people during the last few years. Although Fair Board
President Gail Maier said the steamy weather on Wednesday and Thursday was challenging, Friday and Saturday’s comfortable temperatures drew large crowds to the fairgrounds. “Overall, we were really pleased with attendance,” Maier said. “This is the most rain-free fair we’ve had in a while, and after the first few days, the weather was just perfect.” Fairgoers enjoyed the return of many favorite attractions, including the carnival, Ozseeker the Clown, donkey races and mud volleyball. However, they also appre-
ciated new additions like the performance by the Home Free Acappella Singers and the opening of the second dairy barn, which was spearheaded by Fair Board member Terry Mitchell. “We had tremendous cooperation from all of the contractors involved in the construction of the second dairy barn,” said Chris Libbey, president of Friends of the Fairgrounds. “We heard nothing but positive comments about the new facility from fairgoers.” For Libbey, one of the fair’s highlights was when
