land, Rice Lake, Lomira and Stanley-Boyd. Rettler Corporation designed the Stanley-Boyd proposal, which will
cost approximately $6 million for complete construction
costs. Hraby said a budget commitment over a number of
years helped Stanley-Boyd pay for its project. He visited
Rice Lake and Cumberland. The Rice Lake project is a
collaborative effort with the school and city and private
donations contributing toward the final cost. The Rice
Lake school district will pay about $1.2 million for its
portion of the project while the Cumberland district will
see its expenses around $500,000. Hraby said one option
the Medford district has is to put its funding toward the
bleacher and track surfacing projects.
In my mind, referendum is not an option [in Medford], Hraby said.
Hraby said ASBC would lead a fundraising plan for
the renovations. The fundraising would include sponsorships and advertising. He said a meeting has been held
with Rettler Corporation. It offered the $5,000 contract
to proceed. He said a planning committee would meet in
January and it could return to the school board in the
following months. Hraby said there are potential donors
in the community which the committee would approach
on this project.
The board asked Hraby about potential heavy scheduling for the field. Id like to have that problem, he said.
Its no different than our gymnasiums. Board member
Kelley Isola asked why there are concerns with the grass
field. Is the limited use now for cosmetic reasons? she
asked. Board member Mark Reuter said cosmetic reasons would go to the functionality of the field, where the
use is centered on a specific area.
Fleegel asked about the goal of an ADA-compliant
press box. He said he has only worked in one athletic
field press box actually built to the standard.
The schools portion of the project funding would likely come from its fund balance, the reserve it draws on for
budget needs and short-term borrowing. The district carries a balance of around 15 percent of its annual budget.
Board member Jeff Peterson was concerned about the
new high priority for the outdoor bleachers, buildings
and fields. Every year [building and grounds supervisor] Dave Makovsky comes with a maintenance plan and
bleachers are never on it, Peterson said. Its a big ticket
item, Makovsky said. Peterson continued, My point is,
last year we spent fund balance for the roof and I dont
know how we move this project to the front of the line.
There needs to be a good reason for us to change the priority, he said.
Reuter said the decision was not about moving the
project to the front of the list. The athletic fields are a
unique facility and they have a high profile, he said.
Reuter said the funding would have to be community
driven.
If the All Sports Booster Club raises $2 million, would
we put $1 million into this project? district administrator Pat Sullivan asked. Fleegel said no one was suggesting the school would not make a financial commitment to
the project if the community pledged support for it.
The $3 million figure is not specific to Medfords proposed project, a but a figure estimated for the Cumberland and Rice Lake projects.

10 YEARS AGO
Dec. 23, 2004
Developer Jim Wulfing has scrapped
his plan for developing a neighborhood
subdivision on farmland in the Stetsonville area.
Wulfing met several times with the
Stetsonville Village Board and Little
Black Town Board members during the
last few months, hoping to ease concerns
about the impact of the project on the
area. The parties mostly discussed annexation, sewerage options and how
many lots would get developed.
I have invested considerable time
and thousand of dollars exploring many
options, but it simply will not cash flow
given the required investment in developing the site, said Wulfing, in a letter
to both boards.
Wulfing had wanted to develop 73
acres of land now owned by Teresa Rindt
north of the current village limits and
west of Hwy 13. There would have been
residential use on 63 acres of land along
the west side of the Canadian National
railroad line, which runs through the
property, and possible future commercial or industrial use on 10 acres of land
between the tracks and Hwy 13.

A total of 985 Taylor county livestock
farmers participated to date in the livestock feed program which includes distribution of surplus grain from commodity
credit corporation stocks. Participants
have purchased 9,085,212 pounds of grain
which is equivalent to 100 carloads, according to a release Monday from agricultural stabilization and conservation
office manager Don Euclide.
The ASCS county chairman Louis
Kasparek pointed out this week that the
ASCS is continuing to accept applications for grain under the surplus distribution program. Taylor county became
eligible early last fall when designated
as a disaster area due to the prolonged
drought early last summer.
Grain is purchased from the CCC at
75 percent of price support levels in most
cases.

Florence Swenson
1919-2014
Florence Marie Swenson,
95, Medford, died on Tuesday,
Dec. 16 at her home. A memorial service will be held at a
later date.
The Heindl Funeral Home
of Prentice assisted the family with arrangements.
The
former
Florence
Sandquist was born on March
20, 1919 in the town of Knox
to the late Alfred and Matilda
(Thorbus) Sandquist.
On Nov. 30, 1935 in Park
Falls, she married Burdette Swenson, who preceded
her in death on Aug. 29, 1989. For many years she was
employed at Harley Davidson in Tomahawk until her
retirement. She moved to Medford in 1992.
She enjoyed sewing, doing crafts and scrapbooking.
Survivors include two daughters, Gloria (Gene) Krug
of Medford and Sharon Metz-Gengler of Stetsonville;
a son, Michael (Vicki) Swenson of Aurora, Colo.; 15
grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; and seven greatgreat-grandchildren.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by a daughter, Delores Bennett; three
brothers, George, Ralph and Clyde; two sisters, Alice
Swenson and Mable Niskanen; and a great-grandson,
Brandon Johnson.
Marlenga correction
The obituary published last week for Frank Marlenga incorrectly stated he is survived by a daughter, Diane (Mark) Meta. His daughters name is Diane (Mark)
Metz. We apologize for the mistake.
Dear Kevin,
Away Forever,
Forgotten Never.
Love,
Your Family

Ashley Schmeiser
ly, with her parents Jeff and Laura Schmeiser, that
she saw the sign with the quote about dreams being
scary. It helped her to be more resolved in following
that dream, where ever it would take her. I am investing all this time into it. Either it will work or it wont,
regardless, it is an amazing opportunity to have, she
said. She said her family is nervous for her.
I dont want to sit there and live my life and be like
What if I had done it? I am too curious of a person to
leave things unanswered like that, she said.
Schmeisers preparations will hopefully pay off
at the International Model and Talent Associations
(IMTA) event in Los Angeles Jan. 6-11. The IMTA is a
showcase of talent from around the country competing to catch the eyes of the dozens of representatives
and agents from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and
Europe. The IMTA is where celebrities such as Ashton
Kutcher, Kate Holmes, and Eva Longoria got their
break.
For Schmeiser, the goal is to get discovered at the
event by an agent who sees what she could become.
There are so many possibilities, she said. It is
pretty exciting, but it also scares me.
All the reps and agents, you want them to see you
and say oooohh we see something we like -- we want
to call her back and discuss things more with her, she
said. During the event, each talent will participate in
six classes. If the agents like what they see, the talents
get callbacks. Smith will sift through the callbacks to
determine which will be most likely to result in an
offer. We will hear stuff right away and we will decide
what we want to do after that, Schmeiser said.
Schmeiser said she is stepping out of her comfort
zone on the trip. She has never flown before, and is
nervous about things like losing her luggage when flying into LAX. Schmeiser is taking time off from both
her jobs to make the trip, but plans to work up until
leaving and after coming back. She noted the trip is an
expensive one and she is thankful for the help she has
gotten from some area sponsors to help cover it.
Schmeiser created a Facebook page Ashley
Schmeiser IMTA for her sponsors and supporters to
check out and see how she is doing on her journey.
However nervous she is, her excitement level is equally high. It is the experience of a lifetime, she said.

Friday, Dec. 12
There are 20 hunters, about 25 mentors, around six
kitchen helpers and three whatever the heck we can get
out of them volunteers. Jerry Absher is a mentor.
Today is a bonus day for the young hunters. Perhaps
10 of the 20 kids were able to miss a little school and hunt
this afternoon. Under almost balmy conditions, Jerry,
who is in KAMOs newest chapter, The Lake Wisconsin
Chapter of KAMO, guides 13-year-old Cody Colstad into
a successful shot and our first deer is on the pole for our
2014 hunt.
On Friday night, all the kids go through the final hour
of a safety class, which is given by Columbia County
Conservation Warden Ryan Volenberg, and a biology
class given by Sarah Kerhli, who is WDNRs wildlife biologist for Columbia County.
Afterward, its brownies and ice cream for everyone.
Earlier it was homemade beef stew. As is always the
case, these kids who come from all over the state and do
not know each other have become a pack and a weekend
long snowball fight begins.
Saturday, Dec. 13
High 46, Low 34
Its 4 a.m. The unsung heroes of this event are Jeff
and Patti Rouse, Cheryl Manning, Rachel Voecks and
Jeff Anderson.
These folks cook all weekend and the food is excellent. They ask for nothing and put in very long hours.
Each young hunter signs up on the chore list and they
help with dishes, sweep floors and clean bathrooms.
At daylight, I am up in a 20-foot tower stand with
first time hunter 11-year-old Megan Meggie Jones.
Meggies twin sister Madison Maddie is on her first
hunt with her dad, AJ, mentoring her. Maddie and AJ
are in another tower stand on the same piece of private
property.

the charity stripe and made five three-pointers.
Ethan had a big game. James and Chanse really
took over from the guard positions. We cut down on our
turnovers and had good stamina throughout the game,
Pernsteiner said.
Even over the Christmas break, the Pirates will be
hard at work.
Were going to focus on our press break. Thats been

Pirates at Owen
Continued from page 25
Rosemeyer buried a three-ball to pull the Pirates within
20-14. Thats when it unraveled.
AJ Ovyn scored a fast-break hoop off a Bryce Niemi
pass and John Schmelzer scored off a steal for OwenWithee. Niemi scored twice, Will Maki scored, Preston
Shelton knocked down two free throws to make it 3214 before Schmitt sank one of two free throws with 19
seconds left. Blackhawk Kolton Kaduce had the dagger,
sinking a three-pointer at the buzzer for a 35-15 lead.
Copenhaver scored eight points including six in
a row at one point and Landon Tischer sank a threepointer in the third quarter to try to keep Gilman in
it. But Kaduce capped a big quarter with another late
triple. He had 11 points in the period as Owen-Withee
widened its lead to 56-29. Copenhaver had six fourthquarter points and Rosemeyer knocked down another
triple to finish with six points for the night.
Schmitt and Sonnentag finished with four points
apiece. Tischer had three and Aldinger and Elliot
Wininger scored two each.
Kaduces 16 points led Owen-Withee (2-1, 3-2). Shelton

Detert and Millot put the running
clock back into effect with goals at the

Lybert was between the pipes for

Nedland wins, Lee 3rd at Arcadia; Wolfpack gets two conference wins
by Sports Editor Matt Frey
Eric Nedland won the 126-pound title
and five more members of the CornellGilman-Lake Holcombe Wolfpack wrestled in the championship brackets of
their respective weight classes during a
strong sixth-place showing at Saturdays
17-team Arcadia Scramble.
Results in early rounds determined
which final bracket each wrestler was
placed in. The Wolfpack had its fair
share of early success.
Nedland needed to win just one early match to get into the top pool at 126
pounds, and he did that easily by pinning Onalaskas Stephon Allen in 1:54. In
the four-man, round-robin title bracket,
Nedland clinched the title by pinning

Gilman girls handle press but need shots to fall; second-quarter run beats boys
by Sports Editor Matt Frey
The Eastern Cloverbelt Conference
hasnt been easy on the Gilman girls
basketball team and no place has been
tougher on the Lady Pirates the past four
seasons than Owen-Withee.
The Pirates didnt fully reverse their
bad luck there on Monday, but they
did come away feeling like they accomplished some positive things in a 52-30
loss to the Blackhawks in game two of a
varsity boys-girls doubleheader.
In losing by an average margin of
51 points in this gym the past four seasons, turnovers against full-court pressure and lights-out shooting by the
Blackhawks have killed Gilman. But this
time, Gilman handled the pressure ably
and only trailed by 10 at halftime. The
Pirates just didnt shoot well enough to
stay within striking distance in the final
16 minutes.
Overall, I think were getting better
and working the ball better, head coach
Chris Skabroud said. I was really happy
with the press break. The only thing we
did wrong was take some quick threes
where there were no rebounders. We had
some three-on-twos. We need to finish
that.
Rebounding was the other area that
stood out. Bigger and stronger on the inside, led by senior Hayley Bunnell and
junior Whitney Baehr, the Blackhawks
muscled their way to some key secondchance points that helped them improve
to 6-1 in conference play and 7-2 overall.
Bunnell had 18 points and Baehr added 13
to complement the 19 points scored by allconference guard Stephany Heggemeier.
We didnt box out well enough,
Skabroud said. We gave them eight offensive rebounds in the first half. We got
jump balls on a few of them, but if we box
out that doesnt happen.
Makaylen Skabroud had a solid
night for Gilman, scoring a team-high
11 points, including all six of the teams
points in the third quarter.
After a couple of miscues in the opening minutes, Gilman beat Owen-Withees
zone press by using long passes to open
areas near midcourt. Jumpers by Morgan
Birkenholz and Skabroud kept Gilman
close at 11-6. It was 13-7 after one quarter. A Desire Budzinski steal led to an
offensive putback by Taylor Hendricks
and Kyla Schoene knocked down a long
jumper to pull Gilman within 17-11 midway through the second quarter. The
Blackhawks scored twice, but Gilman
answered with a Skabroud third-chance
hoop and a short Budzinski shot to make

Sonnentags 17 leads
Pirates past Granton, 62-46
by Sports Reporter Bryan Wegter
The Gilman Pirates boys basketball
team got off to a blazing start and built a
lead that proved insurmountable in their
win on Friday night against the visiting
Granton Bulldogs. The win was the first
for the Pirates in Cloverbelt play this
season and their second overall.
Gilman came out firing in the first
quarter and poured in 29 points in the
opening eight minutes. Zach Sonnentag
scored 10 himself, Chanse Rosemeyer
knocked down two three-pointers en
route to eight more, and Ethan Aldinger
added five in the offensive explosion. The
Bulldogs couldnt match the furious pace
of the Pirates early on and only mustered
12 in the first frame.
The guys came out fast and we had
success in our half-court offense. We
were hitting our free throws and keeping
the pressure on the other team, head
coach Brian Pernsteiner said.
The Pirates cooled off in the second,
but were still able to fend off the Bulldogs
counterattack. James Copenhaver carried the offense, scoring seven of the
teams nine in the second quarter.
Grantons Max Opelt scored four as the
