money
By Kevin OBrien
Despite a year of legal proceedings
that resulted in a pair of felony convictions, the village of Curtiss may only get
a fraction of the money back from two
former officials who admitted to giving
themselves unauthorized raises and doctoring meeting minutes to hide it.
Former clerk-treasurer Deb Krauter,
66, was convicted of misconduct in public office, and former village president
Arlan Hamm, 76, was initially convicted
of felony theft as the result of separate
plea deals earlier this year.
Krauter was sentenced last week to
three years of probation with the con-

Colby residents question paving priorities

By: Christian Parker
A trio of Colby residents raised concerns over the condition of South Fifth
and Washington streets at the May 5 city
council meeting.
Jane Holman, a former city council
member who lives on Broadway Street
near the north end of Fifth Street, demanded to know when the streets will be
paved.
When is this going to happen? In 20
years? she asked.
Ald. Mark Kaiser said the project is
definitely a priority and is on the citys
five-year plan.
Its always on the five-year plan, Holman responded. It was on the five-year
plan five years ago. It was on the five-year
plan when I was elected to the council in
2004. Its been a really long five years.
Duane and Gayle Underwood also
raised concerns about the streets in their
neighborhood. They own an apartment
building on Washington Street and said
the gravel roads cause the culverts to
freeze in the winter and the area to become a mudslide in the spring.
The city usually will come out
promptly and take care of the backups
and other problems. Im not complaining about that. They do what they can,
Duane Underwood said. Its just that

weve dealt with these gravel roads so
long, its time we get them paved, and I
understand the money is there. The dust
control they put on the roads in summer
smells like wastewater.
Holman said the issue is timely because the area is inside Colbys TIF (tax
incremental financing) district, which
will expire this September.
Weve paid taxes in this district for
years, she said. We deserve a return on
what weve paid. This is ridiculous.
Holman said if the city can find the

Perspectives
Justice denied
In our eyes, the court system has failed to deliver justice for the village of Curtiss and its taxpayers. Its hard to fathom how two felony convictions for stealing thousands of dollars from
the public coffers can result in no jail time and
only a portion of the money coming back to the
village.
Of course, the circumstances surrounding the
criminal case made it impossible for prosecutors
to obtain a payback plan from former village
president Arlan Hamm, who was deemed legally
incompetent at a hearing last month. According
to a motion filed by his attorney, Hamm suffers
from dementia and other health problems, which
precluded from being sentenced for a crime, even
after he was convicted the month before.
Wisconsin state statutes make it clear that no
one who lacks substantial mental capacity to understand the proceedings or assist in his or her
defense may be tried, convicted or sentenced for
the commission of an offense so long as the incapacity endures. According to an excerpt from a
report written by the doctor who treated Hamm,
the 76-year-old suffers from a form of dementia
that will only get worse with time, not better.
No amount of training or treatment can be
expected to improve his current level of cognitive functioning, the doctor wrote.
As a result, Hamm had to be admitted to the
Clark County Health Care Center under a protective placement order because he could no
longer safely live alone. In his motion to dismiss
the charges, attorney Mark Prior said the court
could order Hamm to be taken into custody and
brought to another facility, but he called that a
waste of taxpayers money.
Its hard to ignore the cruel irony in a phrase
like that coming from an attorney whose client
was just convicted of stealing nearly $17,000
over three years from a municipality that he was
elected to govern. Where was his clients concern
for tax dollars when he took the money?
Dont get us wrong, though. We have no interest in seeing an ailing older man go to jail when
he can no longer care for himself. But letting him
keep the $6,000 annual raise he authorized for
himself in 2011 seems like a clear failure of the
courts to compensate the village for its losses.
To her credit, former village clerk Deb Krauter
apparently owned up to her misdeeds right away
when an audit revealed the extra pay she had
received. According to current village president
Randy Busse, she gave the village a $2,800 check
as a start to paying the taxpayers back. Her sentence of three years probation, handed down last
week, does not include any jail time but it makes
it clear she cannot hold any public office and
must establish a schedule to pay her remaining
restitution.
Unfortunately for the village, what she stole
from the village (about $6,200 according to a
2013 report by a Green Bay accounting firm)
represents only about a third of what Hamm
took home in unauthorized payments during
the same time period. Its also worth noting that
Krauter claimed from the beginning that Hamm
bullied and threatened her into going along
with the scheme and concealing the evidence
from village board members. This may have
just been an attempt to shift blame, but Hamms
only response to investigators was that the village owed him for all the work he was doing as
village president. He admitted to signing checks
without board approval and accepting a higher
salary that was never authorized.
That feeling of impunity on behalf of elected
officials should not be tolerated. Most mayors
and village presidents in this area work hard for
their communities without ever even asking for
a raise let alone giving themselves one without anyone knowing.

it is something you have never experienced in your life. You will wake up

the stage and clutch onto that piece of
paper and shake your principals hand.
Its time, you will finally be done with
high school.
And, just like that, in the blink of an
eye, it will be over.
For some of you, graduation will be
this week, for some of you, you have a
whole week of school left. I cannot say
this enough... cherish it, cherish it,
cherish it. Because just like that its all
over. Sure you have graduation parties
and summer, but from here on out nothing is going to be the same.
So smile, take as many pictures as you
can and enjoy it!

After progressing through 220 and 600 abrasive powders, the batch is finished by a polish. This is a white
dust finer than baby powder. It is so fine that a single
piece of unwelcomed household dust in the batch can
undo its mysterious efforts.
There are also various chemicals, soaps, materials,
and other voodoo that can be added to a tumbling barrel
to enhance the work of the abrasives. I am constantly
experimenting and have learned there is absolutely no
one size fits all formula.
If all goes according to plan, after a month of waiting
and listening to the gentle, dull surges of the tumbler patiently performing its duty in the laundry room, there is
little more satisfying than finding a batch of sparkling,
smooth stones. It is all the better when they look basically the same wet as they do dry. And then, if thats not
what you end up with, you just have to start over, try
again, and wait another month. This is definitely not a
science where impatience or carelessness is rewarded.
Its been a valuable lesson!

Ive been tumbling rocks since I was a young lad when my grandmother presented me with a tumbling machine. I was fascinated by
the mysterious black barrel slowly rotating on a red machine day and
night on a countertop in Grandmas garage. I was even more impressed
that, after a month or so of scraping and grinding like a cement mixer,
sparkling jewel-like glassy gems emerged. I was thrilled to be able to
try it at home.
Really, on the surface, it couldnt seem simpler. You throw a bunch
of random gravel into a barrel, add some water and a little weird mystery sand, wait about a month, and when you open up the barrel you
magically have perfect semi-precious gem stones ready to be made into
jewelry or be used for home decor. Couldnt be easier, right? Wrong!
I have found that tumbling rocks is one of those hobbies where it
seems like the more I learn, the more I realize how little I actually
know about it. Although Ive been tumbling for
years, I still consider myself a novice.
OLD HAT
First of all, there all kinds of scientific terms
that come into play. Concepts to master such as
HOUGHT
slurries, Mohs scales, grit compositions and mineral chemistry all are important. The basic composition of the rocks themselves matters, too, because if they are of vastly different materials or
hardnesses, they will not play nicely together in
the tumbler. (The harder rocks will not polish and
the softer rocks will be pulverized into dust.)
I find that very hard rocks are the easiest to polish around 7 Mohs. In this part of the world these
are usually rocks that contain quartz. I personally
like jaspers, quartzite, chert and, of course, the
BY
coveted Lake Superior agates. I like the added chalCHRISTIAN
lenge of finding my own polishing stones. Taking
a rock from a pathway or beach and shepherding
PARKER
it in its transformation into a semi-precious gem
REPORTER
is truly a thrill!
Ive learned the hard way that basalt, rhyolite,
granite, diabase, and feldspar are nothing but a waste of time to try to
polish and are best chucked out into the flowerbed or incorporated into
some decorative masonry.
Sterility and attention to detail are important for a batch of polished
stones to be successful. For example, lets assume that a batch of rough
rocks (basically pretty gravel at this point) has started tumbling. The
rocks are placed in a barrel with an 80 grit silicon carbide powder
(think of the abrasive that makes up course sandpaper). Silicon carbide is so tough that it can do some real damage to almost anything,
which is sort of the idea, I suppose. It is a 9.5 on the Mohs scale (diamond is 10). Therefore it is harder than any rock. One piece of silicon
carbide can ruin plumbing, damage a washing machine, or completely
undo weeks of tumbling action.
The idea is that this rough grit, when mixed with water, forms a
slurry, which is basically a muddy gray milkshake. This slurry sloshes
and grates around with the stones, shaping them and removing rough
edges.
As the batch progresses, a finer and finer grit is used, just like how
you would sand wood. If a single piece of grit from the previous step is
introduced in a later batch, any further action will be useless, so thorough cleanliness is very important.

CAPD seeking out seat belt violations May 18-31

The Colby-Abbotsford Police Department will mobilize, along with hundreds of other law enforcement agencies throughout Wisconsin, for the
annual Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement campaign from May 18 to 31.
Our officers are serious about safety belt enforcement. We see far too
many drivers and passengers needlessly killed or injured because they
were unbuckled in a crash, said police chief Jason Bauer. During the
Click It or Ticket mobilization and
throughout the year, we will stringently enforce Wisconsins safety belt law.
Were not trying to write more tickets.
Through enforcement and education,
were striving to get people to buckle
up every time they drive or ride in a
vehicle.
Although the states safety belt use

rate of 85 percent is the highest ever,
more than half of the drivers and
passengers killed in Wisconsin traffic crashes last year were not wearing
safety belts. In addition, last year there
were more than 55,000 convictions for
failure to fasten a seat belt.
No matter if its day or night, or a
short trip or a long journey, drivers
and passengers must buckle up. Wearing a safety belt is the best possible protection against being ejected from a vehicle during a crash or thrown around
violently inside it and possibly hitting
another person in the vehicle with
massive force, Bauer said. Thats
why Click It or Ticket is more than a
slogan to our officers. Its a life-saving
effort.
COLBY-ABBOTSFORD POLICE LOG

May 3 - An officer responded
to a report of a suspicious group
of male subjects banging on a
residents door in Colby. The
call came in at about 2 a.m., and
the group was reportedly headed north in a silver vehicle on
South Third Street. The officer
located a silver vehicle and, as
soon as he turned his squad car
around, it pulled into a nearby
driveway. The officer activated
his emergency lights and approached the vehicle.
He verbally identified the
four male passengers and could
smell a strong odor of alcoholic
beverages coming from inside
the vehicle. He also saw a beer
can in the drivers cup holder,
partially covered by a cowboy
hat. The driver had a smell of
alcohol on his breath. He said
he had pulled into the driveway
because the officer put on his
emergency lights, but the officer
noted that he did not activate
his lights until after the car had
pulled off the road.
The officer asked why they
had been banging on a residents
door so late at night. The driver
said the house belongs to one
of his passengers relatives, but
she must not have recognized
him. The driver denied drinking at first and said the beer can
in the cup holder belonged do
someone else. After the officer
had him to field sobriety tests,
he admitted to drinking about
three beers.
A preliminary breath test
showed a .095 blood-alcohol
content, and because the driver
was only 16, he was arrested
for violating the absolute sobriety law for underage drinking.
A breathalyzer later showed a
BAC of .07. The driver was cited
for the absolute sobriety violation and for having an open alcohol container in the vehicle. He
was then released to his mother.
The passengers were mailed
citations for underage drinking.
May 5 - An officer was on patrol in Abbotsford when he got
behind an westbound vehicle on
Business 29. The vehicle was in
the left turn only lane as it approached the signal lights at the
STH 13 intersection, but it proceeded straight. The officer activated his emergency lights.
When he approached the vehicle, he could smell alcohol on
the drivers breath and his eyes
were bloodshot. The officer informed the driver that he had
video of him violating the traffic sign. The passenger knew the
officer from previous encounters and started accusing him
of racism against Mexicans.
The officer told him not to play
the race card.
Dispatch showed the driver
did not have a valid license and
he had one prior conviction for
driving without a license. A
preliminary breath test showed
alcohol in his system, so he was
handcuffed and placed in the
squad car for transport to the
police station.
The officer had the passenger step out of the vehicle for
a breath test, and as he got out,
several empty beer cans fell out
of the vehicle. The officer saw an
empty 18-pack of beer the passenger had been trying to cover
up with his legs. The officer had
the passenger do a preliminary
breath test, but as he was waiting for results, the passenger
took off running eastbound toward Business 29. The officer
was unable to catch him, so he
relayed his location to the other
officer on duty. Dispatch advised
that he was out of jail on bond,
with the condition that he not
consume alcohol.
The officer brought the driver
back to the police station and
had him do field sobriety tests
with help from a translator. He
registered a .21 blood-alcohol
content on the breathalyzer and
was cited for drunk driving,
driving without a license and
failure to obey the traffic sign.
He was then released to a sober
party.
The officer then tried to locate
the passenger by going to his
last known residence in Abbotsford. The passengers brother
was there and offered to let the

officer search his house, but he
said his brother no longer lives
there because he is always getting into trouble. The brother
said he may be living in Unity or
with another brother in Chili.
The officer called immigration authorities and asked them
to put a hold on the passenger,
but that request was later denied. The officer confirmed that
the suspects bond prohibited
him from consuming alcohol.
He was referred to the district
attorney for charges of bail
jumping and obstruction of an
officer.
May 6 - An officer was dispatched to a local gas station in
reference to a possible domestic
dispute. Dispatch indicated that
Clark County deputies were already on scene with a woman
who had been screaming for
help in the parking lot. She had
been separated from a male party she was arguing with.
The officer recognized the
names from a 911 call earlier in
the night when the male party
called to report the female party
missing. Now, both parties were
saying that it was just a misunderstanding and they were both
fine. The woman said she had
been yelling at him for calling
the cops, and was not actually
screaming for help. Both parties
said nothing physical happened.
They both said they would
keep to themselves for the rest
of the night and sleep it off.
May 8 - A Colby teen brought
a stray dog to the police station
and said he found it near the intersection of STH 13 and Clark
Street in Colby. He said it was
nearly hit by a car. The dog had
a rabies tag from Michigan with
a phone number for a vet clinic.
He called the number and was
told that the rabies vaccine was
current.
The teen tried contacting the
owner based on phone numbers provided by the clinic, but
he was only able to pass along
a message to a relative. Shortly
after the officer dropped the dog
off at the city pound, one of the

dogs owners called and said the
dog was supposed to be with his
parents at his old residence in
Colby. The officer brought the
dog to this residence and gave
itto the owners parents.
May 9 - An officer was on
patrol in Colby when he observed a northbound vehicle
traveling left of center on North
Sixth Street and almost hitting
the west side curb. The officer
conducted a traffic stop and, as
he approached the vehicle, he
could see a man who appeared
to be passed out in the backseat
with an unopened bottle of beer
in his hand. He also saw two cases of beer and a six pack in the
back seat.
The officer had the driver roll
his window down, and as soon
as he did, the officer could smell
a strong odor of alcohol. The
drivers eyes were bloodshot
and watery, and he had alcohol
on his breath. When asked why
he was driving on the wrong
side of the street, he mumbled
something in Spanish. Another
officer arrived and was able to
wake up the backseat passenger.
The front-seat passenger
spoke a little English and was
able to get everyone in the car
to write down their names and
birth dates, as none of them had
photo identification. The officer
ran them through dispatch, but
no information came back. The
officer ran their fingerprints
through dispatch electronically,
and the drivers name came
back with a different birth date.
An interpreter arrived on
scene, the vehicle occupants
were again asked to provide
their names and birth dates.
The driver provided his correct birth date, and one of the
passengers corrected his first
name. When the officer asked
why they provided false information before, one of the passengers just laughed.
The officer had the driver
exit the vehicle for field sobriety tests, but he had a hard time
following instructions. He was
placed under arrest on suspicion of drunk driving. The passenger who lied about his name
was also arrested for obstructing an officer. The second passenger had a blood-alcohol content of .033, so he was allowed to
drive the vehicle home.
The driver was taken to the
police station, where he blew
a .09 BAC on the breathalyzer
and was cited for drunk driving.
He and the passenger were also
cited for underage drinking, as
they were both 19.
May 10 - A Colby woman
reported criminal damage to
her vehicle. Both taillights were
broken, and the trunk and doors
were keyed. A screwdriver end
piece was found on the trunk
and appeared to be what was
used to do the damage. A couple
of chrome accessories glued on
the front fenders were also missing.
The complainant suspected
her ex-boyfriend of doing the
damage. When they were living
together, they bought the car,
which he drove but she made
payments on. He was also the
one who glued the accessories
to the fenders. After they broke
up, she was contacted by the
vehicles title holder, who said
they were going to take the vehicle back because no payments
were being made. She paid the
money due and took possession
of the car. She said that happened about six months earlier,
and last month her ex-boyfriend
started texting her about what
would happen to the car if something happened to her.

Meyer Buildings requests storm water project

A Dorchester business is asking the
village to divert storm water runoff
from a property it recently purchased
that is prone to flooding, but the question
of who will pay for the work still needs to
be answered.
Meyer Buildings, 444 W. 1st Ave.,
bought the property at 406 W. Center Ave.
earlier this year and plans to tear down
the house and build an office on the land,
but owner Jeff Meyer said the drainage
issues need to be addressed first.
We want to access our property and
utilize it, but we have this waterway running through it, he said at the village
boards May 6 meeting.
Todd Trader, an engineer from MSA
Professional Services, has come up with
a rough estimate of about $38,000 to extend a storm sewer west 365 feet into the
Meyer Building property. A ditch would
be removed and two drains would be
installed to collect surface water. Other
alternatives are available, but putting in
a 30-inch diameter storm sewer pipe is
seen as the most effective option.
The proposal includes $24,000 worth of
work beyond the villages right-of-way.
Meyer said his company would like to
be able to access the property by this time
next year. He said he plans to put a driveway in to provide access and expects the
village to handle the storm water.
Its really a village water control issue, he said.
Trustee Daniella Schauer said the
board should get details on all of the possible options and a cost estimate from local contractor Steen Construction.
Village president Wayne Rau said the
board could look at including money in
the 2016 budget for the project, but first
he would like to know how the costs will
be split between the village and business.
You cant really budget if you dont
know whos paying for what, Rau said.
The issue was referred to the boards
public works committee for further dis-

cussion later this month so the full board
can vote on an option in June.
Unlicensed cars
Police chief Gary Leichtman said several unlicensed vehicles stored outside
at 210 W. Center Ave. have generated
complaints regarding traffic safety.
Leichtman said he sent a letter April
22 to the owner of the vehicles, Terry
Recore, asking them to be removed, per
the villages ordinances. He also got
permission from the property owner,
Recores sister, to have them towed.
Recore objected to what he called
Leichtmans
selective
enforcement
of the ordinance and claimed that he
counted 37 other vehicles in the village
without proper plates. He pointed out the
number of vehicles kept on the Calvin
Steen property near the clerks office.
Leichtman said former village president Dick Hunsader directed him not
to enforce the ordinance at Steens
property as part of a deal involving the
Dorchester Days fairgrounds. However,
he said the current board could reverse
that decision.
Trustee Warren Underwood expressed
concerns about other peoples unlicensed vehicles being stored at Steens
property.
I think its being abused is what Im

saying, he said.
President Rau said he would talk to his
predecessor about the arrangement and
bring back more information in June.
During public comment, Recore raised
a number of concerns about issues in
the village, including heavy truck traffic going through residential areas and
water meters sticking out of the ground,
causing tripping hazards. He also said
he now plans on reopening the former
Loopys bar at 210 W. Center Ave. as an
ice cream shop.
Other business
Public works supervisor Dean

Faude said his crew has completed several repairs throughout the village, including the installation of a new railing
at the bridge on S. Linden Street. Trustee
Randy Cook suggested the crew put up a
board on the east side of the bridge to
prevent pedestrians from falling into the
nearby ditch.
The board approved a motion for
the village to spend up to $22,500 for chip
sealing on South Fifth Street and South
Third Street. Faude also listed several
other streets that could use chip sealing
whenever the money is available.
Trustee Kurt Schwoch suggested the
board look at taking money out of its

long-term improvement fund for that
purpose.
We have a lot of streets that need saving, he said.
The board approved up to $7,000 for
crack sealing on village streets, to be
done by Lakes Asphalt Maintenance of
Medford for $1.26 per pound.
The board approved $5,000 for Kevin
Boyer to replace sections of sidewalk in
front of the library and St. Louis Catholic Church and along one side of South
Third Street.
The board tabled a proposal from
Mark Leichtman to repaint all of the
villages curbs for a rough estimate of
$2,400. Trustees wanted a more firm bid
before voting on it.
Utility operator Rick Golz said a
sampler at the sewer plant is acting up
and will eventually need a motor at a
cost of $2,000 to $3,000. He said he will try
to make it last as long as possible before
asking to replace it.
The board approved the purchase
and installation of four new manholes
at a cost of $12,140 from Infratech. Golz
said the existing manholes have bricks
falling off and are at risk of caving in.
The board approved the purchase of
a four-inch water meter for the villages
well number 4, at a cost of $3,060.
The board approved the hiring of
three part-time summer employees, each
at a rate of $8 per hour.
The board approved Raus appointments to the planning commission, police committee and library board. The
Board of Review will include all village
trustees to make sure someone is available during the open book review.
The board approved a motion to issue a liquor license to Jenny Halopka
for Tappers Bar at Memorial Hall, which
will expire after June 30.
The board approved a total of 17 alcohol operators license applications for
various taverns and Heartland Co-op CStore.

Christian missionaries to visit Abby next week

By Kevin OBrien
Five Christian missionaries will come
together in Abbotsford for three days
next week, offering local residents a
chance to hear their stories of overcoming adversity in order to spread their
faith in Central America.
Im hoping people leave here inspired
to go home and seek the Lord in the same
way these people have, said organizer
Jeremiah Zeiset, owner of Life Sentence
Publishing in Abbotsford.
The missionaries will speak in a tent
set up near the Life Building, 203 E. Birch
St., from 6 to 9 p.m., May 18, 19 and 20.
Snacks and beverages will be provided.
Zeiset, a publisher of Christian books,
said this three-day event came together
one person at a time, with all but one
of the missionaries reaching out to him
separately about traveling through this
part of the country.
The first to contact him was Avis Goodhart, who opened an orphanage, school
and church in Peru after enduring her
own difficult childhood and hardships in
life.
Today, she uses her experiences to
speak to women and

tell them God is big
enough to change anyone, her biography at
Life Sentence states.
Through Avis ministry, many women experience healing from
past experiences.
Albert
Next,
90-year-old
Albert Luepnitz conLuepnitz
tacted Zeiset and said
he would also be in this
area on the same dates
as Goodhart. Luepnitz
lives in Texas but travels to Colombia and
Cuba regularly to do
his missionary work.
According to his biography at Life SenAvis
tence Publishing, LuGoodhart epnitz experienced a
miracle healing that
alleviated what was thought to be an incurable back condition.
Today thousands profess the name of
Jesus because of Alberts prayers, Life
Sentence states in its bio of Luepnitz.
Albert also has a

ministry helping
people forgive others. Unforgiveness
is a contributing
factor in opening
the door to physical and mental
health problems.
Russell
Alethia Stendal
was the next to
Stendal
speak with Zeiset
about coming to
the area. She has
worked as a photographer
and
videographer out
of Bogota, Colombia, for the past
10 years. She will
be joined by her
Alethia
husband, Stephen
Stendal and Miller, a fellow misStephen Miller sionary.
She and Stephen are gifted singers and musicians
and will bless you with their music at
this event, Zeiset wrote.
Zeiset then invited Alethias father,
Russell Stendal, a former hostage of Colombian rebels who now ministers to the
same group that held him in captivity.
Russell goes wherever the Lord leads,
whether its to speak with a president or
to go deep into the jungle to help an individual in trouble, Life Sentence Publishing states. He has witnessed thousands commit their lives to Christ.
Zeiset said he hopes to have as many
people as possible show up to meet with
the missionaries and hear them speak.
I would like to give them a warm welcome to Abbotsford, he said.
The missionaries will visit Christian
schools in Marshfield and Wausau, but
they are willing to make themselves
available to meet with people one-on-one,
Zeiset said. Luepnitz is willing to pray
for people who request it.
Zeiset said the congregation at North
Ridge Church across the street from his
office has been instrumental in organizing this event. He also reached out to
other churches in the area to make sure
all people of faith are invited to come.
Everyone is welcome, he said. God
transcends all denominations.

Unity trustee accused of ordinance violation

By: Christian Parker
Do unto your neighbors as you want
done unto you.
That was Arthur Shaffers introductory statement to the Unity village board
Monday. He then levied a complaint
against board member Marjorie Carpenter, accusing her of being in possession
of too many fur-bearing animals at her
residence in the village. She lives two
doors down from Shaffer.
Since Carpenter owns a dog, Shaffer
claims the three cats he photographed
in the front window of her home put her
over the villages legal limit. He presented his photos to each board member.
Im requesting the board to call the
sheriffs department, Shaffer said. The
number of fur-bearing animals is up to
four now and I know there are even more
cats on that property.
Shaffer said, as a board member, Carpenters violation of a village ordinance
creates a double standard in the community. He says that board members should
be held to the same rules they create.
Its an ordinance. Why should a board
member patrol this town like a constable
and not follow the ordinances herself ?
Shaffer asked.
Shaffer said Carpenter goes around
making complaints about this and that
and has called the sheriffs department
about his dogs. He said her cats have
been on his property and nothing has
been done about it when he complained.
Carpenter expressed some concern

about the legality of Shaffer taking
photographs of her home, which generated some board discussion. Carpenter
claimed that Shaffer trespassed on her
property by utilizing a sidewalk on her
lawn that was abandoned by the city.
Board member Ron Loertscher said
the public right-of-way still includes the
sidewalks even though they are no longer maintained by the village. He also
said a quality camera would be capable
of obtaining the types of images Shaffer acquired, whether or not he used the
abandoned village sidewalks to take the
photos.
Shaffer offered to present the camera
he used to the board or the sheriff for examination if either was interested.
Board president Scott Blume suggested
tabling the issue until the next meeting
so the board can have a dedicated agenda
item on the matter. He also wanted to
know the specific verbiage of Unitys pet
ordinance before taking any action.
Village clerk Heidi Maldonis said Shaffer can come to the office during normal
business hours and file an official written complaint on the matter.
Village dump concerns

Several actions related to the village
dump site were taken Monday.
After a couch was illegally left on the
burn pile last Saturday while the dump
was unlocked and unattended, the board
voted to add the duties of backup atten-
dant to a help wanted ad for a Memorial

Hall custodian. This person will cover
alternating weekends not currently covered by the dump site attendant.
A motion was made to dispose of a 10ton pile of discarded tires at the dump at
a cost of approximately $1,500. The money will be taken from the general revenue
fund and placed as a specific budget item
for next year. A motion was also made to
discuss raising the tire disposal fee at the
next board meeting. The new fees will
better reflect rising bulk disposal costs.
Building permit violation

A discussion regarding a permit violation resulted in a 2-2 tie vote that was broken by the village president in favor of
fining offenders for a garage built without a building permit.
Construction was started on a garage
using an existing foundation, and the
party doing the construction was under
the assumption that the nature of the
project did not require a permit.
Carpenter and Blume warned the
party to stop construction until a permit
could be issued for the project. The party
stopped for a short period of time, but
then finished the garage anyway.
Loertscher and Carpenter voted in
favor of the fine, with Gene Smazal and
Joseph Geiger voting against it. Blume
broke the tie in favor of the citation.
Board members also discussed posting
signs at entrances to the village stating
the requirement of building permits, but
no further action was taken on the matter.
Other business
A motion was passed to pay Badgerland Door $1,050 to replace the center
door opener of the village shop.
DPW Ryan Maldonis raised concerns about deterioration of the wastewater treatment sand filtration system.
He said a pipe is broken off the unit and a
valve is not functioning properly. Blume
gave Maldonis permission to proceed
with scheduling repairs to the system.
Tracy and Kayd Soppa were present
and offered to operate village softball
leagues for a third year if enough teams
can be found within a couple weeks. A
motion was passed to permit them to operate the leagues and obtain the required
picnic license, should they proceed.
A motion was carried to amend the
village hall user agreement to state a
vacate time of 9:30 p.m. Previously, the
checkout time was 11 p.m. The extra
hour-and-a-half is intended to give the
custodian more time to assess and clean
up damages and mess between renters.
Carpenter expressed concern about
progress on the installation of monitoring wells in the village as mandated by
the EPA from groundwater contamination. The DNR has done some measuring of private wells but, to date, there
has been no apparent activity on the
construction of monitoring wells in the
village.
Curtiss
dition that she pay the village
$8,100 in restitution.
Current village president
Randy Busse said Krauter repaid the village $2,800 after it
was initially discovered that she
gave herself a 50-cent per hour
raise in 2011.
Busse said he will be in contact with Krauters probation
officer to make sure the village
gets paid the restitution.
The bulk of the money taken
from the village, however, went
to Hamm, who took home nearly
$17,000 in salary never approved
by the village board.

In addition to the money that
was improperly paid out in
authorized raises, Busse said
the village also paid $4,800 for
whats called a forensic audit.
That cost was supposed to be
divided equally between Hamm
and Krauter.
Hamm pled no contest in
March to felony theft of over
$10,000, but before he could be
sentenced, his attorney, Mark
Prior, produced evidence showing that his client is not legally
competent to be prosecuted.

Busse said their old policy has

This may be the best chance
Curtiss taxpayers have of getting their money back.

Curtiss trailer park owner asked to address concerns

By Kevin OBrien
The Curtiss village board voted last
week to send a letter to the owner of the
villages trailer park, inviting him to
meet with trustees to discuss ongoing
maintenance issues in the park or possibly face a revocation of his license.
This has been going on for way too
many years, said village president Randy Busse during a discussion about the
condition of the trailer park on the villages east side.
In addition to sending out letters to
trailer park tenants who need to clean up
their properties, trustees directed village
clerk Jane Stoiber to request the presence of park owner Jerry Draxler at a
meeting with the board.
Busse said the village could threaten
to withhold Draxlers license to operate a
trailer park if he does not respond to the
boards request for a meeting.
Village public works employee Todd
Weich said the village has done a lot of
work on Draxlers property in years past,
but it has had to wait three years to be
reimbursed through his property taxes.
Stoiber said the tenants have complained to the village and to Draxler
about the condition of the property, but
he has not addressed their concerns.
They get no kind of response from
him, she said. Nothing.
Water search continues

With a DNR deadline looming later
this year, the search for more groundwater in Curtiss continues.
Weich told trustees last week that Abbyland Foods has stepped up its production recently, requiring the villages wells
to run 24 hours a day, five days a week.
We definitely need to move forward
with our well project, he said.
Under a DNR order issued last year,
the village is supposed to construct new
wells this spring and summer to meet its
water needs. The village has until Aug.
1 to get new wells online, but Weich said
the DNR may give them some leeway as
long as progress is being made.
Test wells have been drilled at several
locations within the village, and hydrofracturing has been used to look for water underneath the granite bedrock.
At last weeks meeting, village resident
Ron Kundinger asked the board whether
he would be compensated for allowing a
test well to be drilled on his land.
Busse said a landowner north of the
village was previously paid $1,000 for
letting the village drill test holes on his
land, but that was only after he signed a
purchase agreement. Kundinger never
signed such an agreement, Busse said,
but he should be compensated somehow.
You will get something out of this,
he told Kundinger.
Colby
money to pay for an $800,000 stretch of
asphalt to be used for Cheese Days tractor pulls, surely paving the citys gravel
roads should be attainable.
Its not the financing that is an issue,
she said. Its a misuse of tax dollars,
plain and simple. TIF districts are created so that public improvements can be
made to spur private development within
that TIF district. Thats not whats been
happening with these funds.
According to city clerk Connie Gurtner, the TIF district includes about 50
percent of the entire city. Even though
the expenditure period ends this year,
the payoff will continue until 2020, Gurtner said in an email. She also said that,
since the inception of the TIF district in
1993, the city has done many meaningful
projects with the funds.
Sewer mistake corrected

A reimbursement of $1,669.91 for
plumbing and cleanup costs was paid to a
resident on Seventh Street, who was not
connected to the new sewer main during
the reconstruction of Spence Street last
year. The connection was missed due to a
complicated plumbing arrangement.
The lateral for the sewer was connected to Spence Street and the lateral
for the water was connected to Seventh
Street. The Spence Street connection
was missed during construction. After
the project was completed, the residents
sewage continued to drain into the abandoned sewer main on Spence Street and
eventually backed up into the residents
home.
A lateral from the residence to the new

main has now been installed by the city.
Reached by phone this week, Busse

said he recently discovered a 1985 deed
granting the village ownership of a piece
of land north of Front Street. The roughly 100 by 150-foot site is being considered
for a possible well site that will not require the purchase of private property.
Its not a large parcel, but its enough
to drill a well on, he said.
Another promising well site is on the
northwest corner of Mathias and Meridian streets, which has been producing 20
to 30 gallons per minute without fracturing. The villages engineers want to drill
two new holes on that site, Busse said.
After developing those two sites, he
said the village may still pursue a third
site on eight acres of private land off
Front Street.
The village is also considering hydrofracturing its old well number 3, which
was first drilled in the 1970s but was taken offline after it dropped down to only
five gallons per minute, Busse said.
Busse said a plan to finance the new
wells also needs to be developed before
the project can be completed.
Other business
The board reappointed Stoiber to a

new two-year term as village clerk. She
was the sole applicant for the position.
The board voted to purchase leftover
beet juice/calcium chloride from the
town of Hoard for the purpose of dust

control on village roads. The village paid
the neighboring township $1,300 last
year for its surplus material.
The board voted to purchase eight
concrete parking stops for $320 in order
to add more parking spaces next to the
Curtiss Community Center.
The board voted to pay Lakes Asphalt Maintenance of Medford $6,300 to
do crack sealing on Mathias Street, from
CTH E to Plaza Drive, and on Plaza Drive
south to the truck stop. Weich said that
stretch of road was not built to handle all
of the heavy truck traffic it gets, but sealing the cracks should extend its lifespan.
If we can keep the moisture out, the
road will last a lot longer, he said.
The board voted to allow the Curtiss
Quilters Club to have occasional Saturday meetings at the community center
without paying a rental fee, as long as
they do not conflict with other events.
The board approved a maintenance
contract with B&M Technologies to calibrate the meters and inspect the pumps
at the villages sewer lift station for $900
annually.
The board voted not to pay an outside vendor who offered to do pest control at the village hall for $35 a month and
$50 per month at the trailer park. Trustees said Weich can just buy Bar Bait to
handle any rodents at village buildings.
Cosmetic procedures
arent just for
looks.
Well construction on schedule

City engineer Mike Voss reported that
work on city wells 14 and 15 is proceeding
on schedule.
The wells, which are each approximately 270 feet deep, have already been
drilled and constructed, and the pumps,
connections and well houses are scheduled to be completed by Oct. 15.
Well 14 will run directly into the citys
water distribution system. Well 15 will be
treated to remove high iron content before it runs into the distribution system.
Other business
Jane Holman mentioned that the

citys website is very out-of-date, with old
information and an unused calender. She
said this is a deterrent to attracting new
business and commerce in the community.
Its as if nobody cares about anything
around here anymore, she said.
DPW Harland Higley reported

that since the frost has gone out of the
ground, the city wells have risen significantly and appear to all be in good operating condition.
A resignation letter from Ald.

Jim Henaman was read and accepted.
Henaman has accepted a job in Madison
where he will move.
Resolutions were approved to honor Henaman and Ald. Travis Schraufnagel, who also resigned recently, for their
service to the city council as aldermen.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION
FOR NONMETALLIC MINE RECLAMATION PERMIT
Notice is hereby given that the Clark County Planning, Zoning
and Land Information Department has received a nonmetallic mine
reclamation plan for review. The nonmetallic mine reclamation plan
for review is for an existing permitted mine location. Written public
comment will be received until June 11, 2015. The mine is located
in part of NW1/4, Section 21, T24N, R2W (Town of Pine Valley) in

reclaim the disturbed land as farmland and a pond. Rules for nonmetallic mine reclamation are included in NR 135, Wisconsin Administrative Code, and Chapter 22, Article IX, Clark County Ordinance.
The rule is administered by the Clark County Planning, Zoning and
Land Information Department and regulates the reclamation of land
disturbed by nonmetallic mining operations that commenced after
August 1, 2001. The operations at each site may include mining of
topsoil, clay, sand, gravel or bedrock as well as washing, crushing
or other mining activities or the site may be permitted as inactive.
Reclamation measures may include use as ponds, recreation land,
high wall, farmland or other. Under NR135.20 (4)(c), Wisconsin Administrative Code, landowners adjacent to or within 300 feet of the
parcel(s) containing the nonmetallic mine may request a public hearing if one is not provided through a local zoning-related hearing.
The Clark County Planning, Zoning and Land Information Department will review all comments and testimony presented (if necessary) pertaining to the reclamation plan and reserves the right to

Informacin Educativa
El Fuentes de agua potable, tanto en el agua del grifo y el agua
embotellada, incluye ros, lagos, arroyos, lagunas, embalses, manantiales y pozos. Como el agua viaja sobre la superficie de la tierra
oa travs del suelo, disuelve minerales naturales y, en algunos casos, material radioactivo y puede recoger sustancias resultantes de
la presencia de animales o de actividad humana.
Los contaminantes que pueden estar presentes en el agua de
Fuente incluyen:
Contaminantes microbianos, como virus y bacterias, que pueden provenir de plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales, sistemas spticos, operaciones de ganado agrcola y la vida silvestre.
Contaminantes inorgnicos, como sales y metales, que pueden
ser natural- que ocurren o resultar de la escorrenta de aguas pluviales urbanas, descargas de aguas residuales industriales o domsticas, la produccin de petrleo y gas, la minera o la agricultura.
Pesticidas y herbicidas, que pueden venir de una variedad de
Fuentes como la agricultura, la escorrenta de aguas pluviales urbanas y usos residenciales.
Contaminantes qumicos orgnicos, incluyendo productos
qumicos orgnicos sintticos y voltiles, que son subproductos de
procesos industriales y produccin de petrleo, y tambin pueden
provenir de estaciones de gasolina, desages pluviales urbanos y
los sistemas spticos.
Contaminantes radioactivo, que pueden ocurrir naturalmente o
ser el resultado de las actividades de petrleo y produccin de gas
y la minera.
Con el fin de garantizar que el agua del grifo es segura para beber, la EPA establece regulaciones que limitan la cantidad de ciertos
contaminantes en el agua suministrada por los sistemas pblicos de
agua. Regulaciones de la FDA establecen lmites de contaminantes
en el agua embotellada, que debern proporcionar la misma proteccin para la salud pblica.

Informacin adicional Salud
Si est presente, los niveles elevados de plomo pueden causar
serios problemas de salud, especialmente para mujeres embarazadas y nios pequeos. El plomo en el agua potable proviene principalmente de materiales y componentes asociados con lneas de
servicio y plomera casa. Abbotsford Abastecimiento de Agua es
responsable de proporcionar alta calidad de agua potable, pero no
puede controlar la variedad de materiales utilizados en los componentes de plomera. Cuando el agua ha estado sentado durante
varias horas, puede minimizar el potencial de exposicin al plomo
dejando correr el agua de 30 segundos a 2 minutos antes de usar el
agua para beber o cocinar. Si usted est preocupado sobre el plomo
en su agua, es posible que desee hacerse una prueba de agua.
Informacin sobre el plomo en el agua potable, mtodos de prueba
y medidas que puede tomar para minimizar la exposicin est disponible en la Lnea Directa del Agua Potable Segura o en www.epa.
gov/safewater/lead.
Informacin para el Seguimiento de Cryptosporidium y radn
Nuestro sistema de agua no controlar nuestra agua para Cryptosporidium o radn durante 2014. No estamos obligados por el
Estado o las regulaciones federales de agua potable para hacerlo.
Otros cumplimiento
La violacin de las condiciones de una exencin, o la orden administrativa o judicial Varianza
Se detectaron positivos fecales en el Pozo 22, 25 y Bueno Bueno
26 como muestras de agua cruda resultados. El agua cruda se trata
extensamente para eliminar los contaminantes microbiolgicos y no
se detectaron contaminantes en el sistema de distribucin como un
resultado del tratamiento. No hay violacines MCL microbiolgicos.
Monitoreo de turbidez
De acuerdo con s. NR 810.29, Cdigo Administrativo de Wisconsin, el agua de la superficie tratada es monitoreada por la turbidez
para confirmar que el agua filtrada es inferior a 0,1 NTU / 0.3NTU.
La turbidez es una medida de la turbiedad del agua. Hacemos un
seguimiento de ella porque es un buen indicador de la eficacia de
nuestro sistema de filtracin. Durante el ao, el ms alto punto de
entrada turbidez single fue 0,44 NTU. El porcentaje mensual ms
bajo de muestras que cumplan los lmites de turbidez fue del 96%.

Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking
water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons
such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons
who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or
other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be
particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC
guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by
cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from
the Environmental Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline
(800-426-4791).

Educational Information
The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water,
include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells.
As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it
dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which
may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be
naturally- occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial
or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining
or farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of
sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential
uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes
and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or
be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes
regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water
provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits
for contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health.
Definitions
AL-Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if
exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water
system must follow.
MCL-Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to
the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
MCLG-Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected
risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
MFL-million fibers per liter
MRDL-Maximum residual disinfectant level: The highest level of a
disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence
that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial
contaminants.
MRDLG-Maximum residual disinfectant level goal: The level of
a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use
of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
mrem/year-millirems per year (a measure of radiation absorbed
by the body)
NTU-Nephelometric Turbidity Units
pCi/l-picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity)
ppm-parts per million or milligrams per liter (mg/l)
ppb-parts per billion or micrograms per liter (ug/l)
ppt-parts per trillion or nanograms per liter
ppq-parts per quadrillion or picograms per liter
TCR-Total Coliform Rule
TT-Treatment Technique: A required process intended to reduce
the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
Detected Contaminants
Your water was tested for many contaminants last year. We are
allowed to monitor for some contaminants less frequently than once
a year. The following tables list only those contaminants which were
detected in your water. If a contaminant was detected last year, it will
appear in the following tables without a sample date. If the contaminant was not monitored last year, but was detected within the last 5
years, it will appear in the tables below along with the sample date.

ated with service lines and home plumbing. Abbotsford Waterworks
is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot
control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When
your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the
potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2
minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water
tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and
steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline or at www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Information on Monitoring for Cryptosporidium and Radon
Our water system did not monitor our water for cryptosporidium or
radon during 2014. We are not required by state or federal drinking
water regulations to do so.
Other Compliance
Violation of the Terms of a Variance, Exemption, or Administrative
or Judicial Order
Fecal positives were detected in Well 22, Well 25 and Well 26 as
raw water samples results. The raw water is treated extensively to
remove the microbiological contaminants and no contaminants were
detected in the distribution system as a result of treatment. There are
no microbiological MCL violations.
Turbidity Monitoring
In accordance with s. NR 810.29, Wisconsin Administrative Code,
the treated surface water is monitored for turbidity to confirm that the
filtered water is less than 0.1 NTU/0.3NTU. Turbidity is a measure of
the cloudiness of water. We monitor for it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system. During the year, the
highest single entry point turbidity was .44 NTU. The lowest monthly
percentage of samples meeting turbidity limits was 96%.

Options for Crushed Concrete Supply: The crushed concrete pile
has a lot of material on it after the crushing was completed. There is
roughly 26,000 tons of crushed material; originally it was thought the
crushing would result in roughly 14,000 tons. The committee needs
to come up with some ideas of what to do with the material. The city
could put out bids for someone else to purchase a portion of it and recoup some of the cost of the crushing. DPW Higley would like to see
how much material there is and from there make a decision on how
much to keep for future projects and how much to sell. DPW Higley
contacted Bugar today and there is actually approximately 16,000
tons rather than the 26,000 tons that employees had told him, so we
will be under budget, but will still discuss how much we will need to
use and how much we can sell.

CPL afternoon book club

The April 21 meeting of the
Colby Public Library afternoon
book club found eight members
attending to discuss The Light
Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman.
Tom Sherbourne returns to
Australia after fi ghting in the
trenches of World War I in Europe. He and his wife, Isabel,
move to an isolated lighthouse,
where they remain for several
years. While there, a baby girl
washes up in a lifeboat. Tom is
morally torn when Isabel, who
has suffered miscarriages and
desperately needs a child, wants
to keep the baby as their own.
When the child is two years old,
Tom and Isabel return to the
mainland on leave. There they
discover that there are other
people in the world and keeping
the child has devastated one of
them.
Readers found the author captured the bleakness of the lives
of the keepers of the light. Isolation and solitude for months
upon end proved challenging to
the couple.
The storyline kept the book
a page-turner. The emotional
dilemma and consequences of
keeping the baby from its family were expertly explored. The
book made readers think about
what they would have done in
similar circumstances.
Book club members rated The
Light Between Oceans 4.2 out
of 5 books. The fi nal meeting
for the 2014-2015 book club season will be Tuesday, May 19, at 1
p.m. Members are encouraged to
bring a snack to share while discussing Mrs. Lincolns Dressmaker by Jennifer Chiaverini.

Colby baseball tacks on 2 wins

Narrowly escapes loss
against Greenwood Indians
Greenwood
The Colby Hornets baseball team
hosted a nail-biter
last Thursday night
against the Greenwood Indians. A
strong third inning was a stepping
stone to the Hornets 14-13 victory.
It was a tough start to the game.
The Hornets were down, 1-4, at the
bottom of the third inning, then the
tables turned. Colby started swinging
at the ball and played a strong offensive game. By the start of the fourth
inning the score was now 11-4. Greenwood rebutted, scoring three more
runs in the fourth inning against
Colbys one, leaving the score at 12-7
going into the fifth inning. Each team
scored two runs in the fifth inning and
zero in the sixth.
Greenwood walked into the seventh

inning knowing that this was their
last shot. The score was 14-9 and they
needed five runs to catch up. The visiting team was only able to score four
runs and Colby walked away with the
win.
The seniors were a strong asset for
the home team Thursday night, providing a strong at-bat average. Andy
Hogden was three for five at bat. He
earned one run for the Hornets and
three RBIs. Adrian Lynn led Colby
with three runs and two RBIs.
Sophomore Jared Goodwin scored
two runs for Colby and hit two batters
home. Dylan Leffel followed suit and
was two for four at bat, scoring two
runs and earning one RBI.
Jacob Karl and Trevor Stuttgen
scored one run each for the Hornets.
We hit the ball extremely well and
were able to get on base, said head
coach Sam Hayes.
EYEING EM DOWN - Senior Logan Uhlig winds up for the pitch during last

and walked four. He also scored two runs for the Hornets.

At the mound senior Logan Uhlig

started out the game. He struck out
two batters and walked four. He allowed Greenwood to get five hits and
score nine runs. Uhlig was strong on
offense for the Hornets, scoring two
runs and one RBI.
Aaron Morrow pitched the remainder of the game, striking out two batters and walking one. He allowed five
hits and only four runs. Morrow was
two for five at bat, scoring two runs for
Colby.
Coach Hayes explained, The game
should not have been as close as it
was, we just had some untimely errors, resulting in them being able to
score runs.
Loyal
READY AND WAITING - Andy Hogden leads off of second base during
the pitch against Greenwood. Despite the Hornets strong lead early on in the
game, they narrowly beat the Indians, 14-13.
Colby continued their strong play

during Tuesday nights game in Loyal
against the Greyhounds. The Hornets
returned home with a 5-3 win.
Hayes explained, The score in no
way reflected how close the game was.
Both teams played extremely well.

The Hornets were ahead, 2-0, at the
start of the sixth inning and didnt let
up. They scored three more runs and
were up 5-0 at the top of the sixth inning. Loyal scored their only three
runs in the bottom of the sixth.
It was an extremely fun game to
watch and to coach, said Hayes.
Hogden and Trent Underwood each
scored one run for the Hornets and
earned one RBI. Lynn, Goodwin and
Leffel each chipped in one run each.
Morrow was at the mound for the
Hornets. He struck out five batters
and walked two.
He pitched very well, and I am continuously impressed with how he is
improving. In an entire game he only
walked two batters. That is very impressive, Hayes said.
Colby will face off against the
Neillsville Warriors Thursday night
in Neillsville. The game will start at
5 p.m. Friday night they will host Gilman, starting at 5 p.m.

Abby softball wins

two more games
The Abbotsford softball team tallied
two more conference wins Friday and
Tuesday night, one at home and another
on the road.
The Athens Bluejays came to town Friday night and put up a good fight against
the winning home team.
Each team scored a run in the first inning. In the second, the Falcons pulled
ahead, scoring five runs. The streak continued with two more runs in the third
and one in the fourth.
With the score 5-1, the fifth inning was
scoreless.
As the Falcons bats slowed down, the
Bluejays picked up two runs in the sixth
inning and two more in the seventh for a
final score of 9-5, in favors of the Falcons,
after seven innings.
Senior Shelly Kneifl went one for four
at bat, with two RBIs and two runs.
Autumn Schreiner and Sabrina Branstiter followed a similar pattern, both
going one for four. Schreiner picked up
one run. Branstiter earned two RBIs and
struck out once.
Sadie Gunderson, Alyssa Walller, Alexis Bittner and Abby Miklaszewicz scored
one run each, with Gunderson picking
up one RBI and Waller picking up two.
Dylana Schreiner made the most of
her single at bat, earning one hit, one
RBI, two runs and two walks.

Autumn Schreiner pitched for all seven innings, throwing two strikeouts and
giving up six hits and four walks.
Prentice
A huge rally in the second inning
helped the Falcons make quick work of
the Prentice Buccaneers Tuesday night.
The visiting Falcons took an early
three-run lead in the first inning, and let
loose in the second, racking up 10 runs to
make the score 13-0 after two.
The Bucs got on the board in the bottom of the third, scoring their only run
of the night, before Abby added three
more to make the final score 16-1 after
five innings.
Nearly every batter on the Falcons roster scored at least one run, with Kneifl,
Sabrina Branstiter and Ariana Branstiter each crossing home plate three times
during the five innings.
Along with Kneifl and Sabrina Branstiter, Alexis Bittner and Miklaszewicz
each had two RBIs on the night.
Autumn Schreiner pitched the first
two innings for the Falcons, striking out
three batters and allowing no hits, walks
or runs. Taylor Hanson pitched the final
three, striking out three batters, walking
three and giving up one hit.
Winding up
Colby Hornets pitcher Paige Bruesewitz prepares to dish out a powerful
throw to Greenwood Friday. The Hornets suffered two losses to the Indians
in a doubleheader, with scores of 1-13 and 3-16. The teams record is 1-6
this season.

Falcons get their first win of 2015

Abbotsfords baseball team nabbed its
first win of the season Tuesday night,
burying the Prentice Buccaneers, 12-1, in
just five innings.
The Falcons scored runs on every one
of their 12 hits, with nearly the entire
lineup crossing home plate at least once
during the away game.
Both teams went scoreless in the first
inning, but Abbys batters had an early
rally in the top of the second, piling on
six runs.
The Bucs sole run came in the bottom
of the third inning, but after that it was
all Falcons, who added four more runs
in the fourth and one more in the fifth to
finish off their win.
Leading the way at bat was Austin
Schmidt, who went three for four with a
double, three RBIs and one run scored.
Ethan Kramas hit two runners home
on a double and single, while also crossing home plate once himself.
Cooper Hendrickson and Cody Friedenfels each had two hits, with one RBI
and one run.
Hits and RBIs also came from Stewart
Braun, Garrett Rau, Ean Rau and Jesse
Beran.
Adam Seefluth pitched the first four innings for Abby, striking out three batters,
walking six and giving up two hits and a
run. Friedenfels pitched the final inning,
striking out one and walking one.
Athens
The Athens Bluejays came to Abbotsford Friday and showed no mercy to the
home team, squarely defeating the Falcons, 15-3.
Abbotsford scored two runs right out
of the box in the first inning while Athens scored one. Abbys lead ended by the
second inning when Athens scored seven
runs.
The Bluejays earned another four in
the third, one in the fourth and two in the
fifth. The Falcons managed to squeak out
one more run in the fifth, but the mercy
rule ended the game there.
Stewart Braun went two for three plate
appearances, scoring two runs.
Treven Gorst and Cody Friedenfels
each hit one for three, with Friedenfels
earning a run and Gorst an RBI.
Garrett Rau received one walk during
his two plate appearances.
Cooper Henricksen pitched four innings of the game, striking one player
out and giving up one walk and nine hits.
The Falcons host the Edgar Wildcats
Friday night for their first conference
matchup against the newest members of
the Marawood North. Abby then travels
to Rib Lake Monday to take on the Redmen.

er events you attended. If you attend,

you will be impressed, your kids will
be enthused, and youll all have a
good day.
Walking around will provide plenty
of exercise for everyone so the kids
will definitely sleep well Saturday
night. For seminars and such, several event tents are set up to provide
a break from the sun or rain. Whatever the weather brings, they are prepared. Organizers do recommend you
wear boots as the soil can be moist
and you may want to put some insect
repellent in a pack. Since its spring
and the ticks like to crawl around
this time of year, the brands that repel ticks might be a nice choice.
Each youth in attendance receives
a free hat from Ruffed Grouse Society
that will come in handy when they
head out into the woods this fall. But,
more importantly, they get a host of
experiences and a day of fun that
doesnt involve a single video game.
The whole family will enjoy the day
at this family-oriented event. You
can still make it to the lake for an
evening of fishing after the event
maybe with a new fly rod. Aim high,
sometimes you get lucky. But what
you will feel lucky about is that you
decided to take the kids to this event.
