Moraine Park In the News July 6 – August 7 West Bend, Daily News Jul 06 2016 Robotics trickling into workplace, classroom By ALEX BELD Page A04 Clip resized 49% abeld@conleynet.com 262-306-5046 As computers, automation and robotics become more prevalent in the workplace, those in the workforce have made changes as well. Workers are now more productive in some aspects, but can also find themselves at risk of being replaced by automation or cheaper labor overseas. Manufacturing employs a large portion of the population of Wisconsin, and the same is true for Washington County. According to information collected by Economic Development of Washington County, 22 of the 50 major employers in the county are involved in some type of manufacturing. As technology changes in the workplace, the way students are taught has also changed and continues to change. New classes, technology and ways of learning are being implemented. For West Bend School District students in kindergarten through eighth grade, coding has made an appearance in the form of Ozobots and the Dash & Dot robots. “We’re embedding it (coding) into the classroom,” Director of Technology and Professional Development Tim Harder said. It isn’t a separate part of the curriculum, but is being paired with the current curriculum, he added. The robots have been used by middle school students in social studies to recreate troop movements Daily News Dylan Olson, 13, moves an Ozobot with the face of British general Henry Clinton on it during a presentation of the Siege of Charleston at Pathways Charter School in October in West Bend. on battlefields throughout history, one of many ways technology new allows students to present information. Harder said these learning opportunities aren’t just to teach students about new career paths, but also how it will be a part of their daily life. This upcoming school year, middle school students will be offered a computer science business and information course. going to “They’re learn programming; they’re going to learn to make an app,” Harder said. Guy Campbell, lecturer of mechanical engineering at the University of Wi s c o n s i n - Wa s h i n g t o n County, said computers and simulation software have sped up many processes. “Computers have replaced that requirement to do math,” he said. Software and cheaper labor overseas can replace some of the work that once took hours, but the understanding of financial and material needs of a product and company remain important and keep engineers employed. Tom Roehl, process technology engineering instructor at Moraine Park Technical College in West Bend, said people are becoming faster and more efficient in the workplace. “The ‘how’ is much faster, but they need to know the ‘why,’” he said. Campbell said these changes have been happening since the 1980s, but the understanding of mechanical systems to make them better and make new ones remains essential. Craig Hurst, professor of music at UW-Waukesha County, said he does not have a title that sounds like the typical person to learn from about emerging technology in the workforce, but a new course he has been teaching for the last three years can offer a different way of looking at the work environment. Creative Problem Solving is the class and it is part of the Bachelors of Applied Arts and Sciences degree, which was designed based on a survey of businesses and industries to see what skills they wanted. “Regardless of technology, the workforce will always need critical thinkers, creative problemsolvers and someone with a global perspective,” Hurst said. What Hurst said has changed is the increase in robotics and machines in the workplace. People need to know computer skills to tell machines, like printers, how to operate, rather than directly operating the printers. The focus on creativity and critical thinking is one way the class has changed. Roehl has changed it in another way, referring to it as “flipping the classroom.” Students previously would come to class for lectures and presentations and put the concepts together outside of class. Technology now allows Roehl to spend time with students as they put the concepts together in class. The job market continues to look up for the manufacturing and information fields in Wisconsin. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, each sector has seen yearly growth since the Great Recession. Property of Wisconsin News Tracker and members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

The Recidivism Reduction (RR) Program meshes County law enforcement and human services programming resources that will be funded in 2017. The amount reflected in June 8 minutes of the Judicial/Law Enforcement (Jud-Law) and Emergency Management Committee session will be a total of $150,000 from two appropriation sources. Thanks went to Lori Evans, administrator in the Green Lake County Sheriff’s Office, and recidivism programmer in the county jail, Lynn Ryan, for coordinating with the State of Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Work went towards assembling a program description and proposed budget for the Recidivism Reduction Program funding for Green Lake County. Program services draw from assets of the County’s Department of Health and Human Services and the Sheriff’s Department. Recidivism reduction encompasses two areas. One is dealing with subjects while they are incarcerated at the Green Lake County Correctional Facility, part of the government building complex at 571 County Road A. Elements of programming may include high school equivalency test preparation, employment readiness, health/wellness information, and support for incarcerated individuals and their families. Educational programming can also be offered in affiliation with Moraine Park Technical College. Recidivism reduction includes the postincarceration phase which occurs after an incarcerated individual is released from a corrections institution. Features of such programming may encompass communitybased aftercare group treatment programming facilitated in the Berlin community. There is also assistance with transportation and resources for post-incarceration individuals, and behavioral health treatment available through County HHS’s Behavioral Health Unit. The gamut of services points to recidivism reduction in combination with recovery tools helping post-incarcerated individuals successfully reenter society and again be able to contribute to communities. Available services may be “determined based on each individual’s unique needs and recovery plan through a comprehensive assessment process,” according to RR Program information provided by Ryan. Part of Green Lake County’s “RR Program Vision” is mental health services. Such services are given to inmates in order to enhance self-awareness and self-control for those motivated to grow beyond their delinquent behaviors. Cross-referenced in RR directives are support, advice, help, guidance, and assistance for inmates and for postincarceration individuals on supervision for their transition back into community life. Initiation of services can come from current inmates within the corrections system or by individuals on probation/parole either by contacting Green Lake County’s Health and Human Services or by getting referral data from a probation/parole agent. Recidivism Reduction’s funding support in 2017 will aid delivery of services that are part of many subjects’ recovery process. That recovery continues as collaboration between County enforcement and social services as well as Moraine Park Technical College, Probation & Parole of the Department of Corrections, and peer-support group efforts within a therapeutic community.

Berlin Journal Jul 07 2016 Page A05 Clip resized 66% t t Recidivism reduction funded for 2017 in Green Lake County By Tony Daley Work to keep offenders on track as productive members of society is getting help in Green Lake County next year. The Recidivism Reduction (RR) Program meshes County law enforcement and human services programming resources that will be funded in 2017. The amount reflected in June 8 minutes of the Judicial/Law Enforcement (Jud-Law) and Emergency Management Committee session will be a total of $150,000 from two appropriation sources. Thanks went to Lori Evans, administrator in the Green Lake County Sheriff’s Office, and recidivism programmer in the county jail, Lynn Ryan, for coordinating with the State of Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Work went towards assembling a program description and proposed budget for the Recidivism Reduction Program funding for Green Lake County. Program services draw from assets of the County’s Department of Health and Human Services and the Sheriff’s Department. Recidivism reduction encompasses two areas. One is dealing with subjects while they are incarcerated at the Green Lake County Correctional Facility, part of the government building complex at 571 County Road A. Elements of programming may include high school equivalency test preparation, employment readiness, health/wellness information, and support for incarcerated individuals and their families. Educational programming can also be offered in affiliation with Moraine Park Technical College. Recidivism reduction includes the post-incarceration phase which occurs after an incarcerated individual is released from a corrections institution. Features of such programming may encompass community-based aftercare group treatment programming facilitated in the Berlin community. There is also assistance with transportation and resources for post-incarceration individuals, and behavioral health treatment available through County HHS’s Behavioral Health Unit. The gamut of services points to recidivism reduction in combination with recovery tools helping post-incarcerated individuals successfully reenter society and again be able to contribute to communities. Available services may be “determined based on each individual’s unique needs and recovery plan through a comprehensive assessment process,” according to RR Program information provided by Ryan. Part of Green Lake County’s “RR Program Vision” is mental health services. Such services are given to inmates in order to enhance selfawareness and self-control for those motivated to grow beyond their delinquent behaviors. Cross-referenced in RR directives are support, advice, help, guidance, and assistance for inmates and for post-incarceration individuals on supervision for their transition back into community life. Initiation of services can come from current inmates within the corrections system or by individuals on probation/parole either by contacting Green Lake County’s Health and Human Services or by getting referral data from a probation/parole agent. Recidivism Reduction’s funding support in 2017 will aid delivery of services that are part of many subjects’ recovery process. That recovery continues as collaboration between County enforcement and social services as well as Moraine Park Technical College, Probation & Parole of the Department of Corrections, and peer-support group efforts within a therapeutic community.

Ehrenberg can be found at The Green Lake Community Farm Market each Friday at Town Square.

For the 2015-16 school year, 103 students received their General Education Development and High School Equivalency Diploma certificates. Three of these individuals served as student speakers at the graduation event— Ambiyo Munie of Mogadishu, Somalia; Christopher Dietz, Beaver Dam; and Thomas Helgeson of Beaver Dam – and each reflected on vastly different journeys that led them to this point. Munie had come to America seeking to provide a better life for her mother and siblings in Somalia and took six years to learn English and earn her diploma. She currently lives in Fond du Lac. “I am here tonight to tell you that anything is possible if you work hard and are patient. If you don’t have these things, you cannot succeed,” Munie said Dietz spent 30 years in the workforce before being laid off. As he looked for new work and he came close to landing a dream job, only to lose out when the employer discovered he had not earned his high school diploma. He credits Moraine Park for help in rebuilding his career prospects this late in life. “The teachers at Moraine Park were awesome. They never looked down at me and made me actually feel intelligent. They really made me feel I could get through the process,” Dietz said. He has since reapplied for and earned the same dream job he once missed out on.

And we’ve capitalized on them.” State Rep. Jeremy Thiesfeldt was a special guest speaker at the event. He congratulated all of the students for capitalizing on these opportunities and wished them continued success moving forward. “I don’t want you to look at this as the end of a journey. I want you to look at this as a new beginning. During your quest for your GED, I suspect that you learned a lot about yourself. Maybe you found skills you didn’t know you had. Maybe you rekindled some that hadn’t been used in a long time … [But] you have learned those things to move forward in your life,” Thiefeldt said. “I congratulate you for reaching this point. I know this isn’t the way you mapped it out probably. But you got there. You finished. And now it’s time to begin again.” In order to earn their GED/HSED, students had to pass four standardized tests in math, language, social studies and science, as well as meet other requirements. Also during Moraine Park’s GED/HSED ceremony, Arletta Allen, Fond du Lac, and Rachel Martinez. Waupun, were presented with Moraine Park Foundation Basic Education Scholarships.

(Photo: Photo courtesy of Women in Management) Enrolled as a Business Management/Marketing student at Moraine Park Technical College, Bertram, a Fond du Lac resident, plans to continue her education at a university to obtain a bachelor's and master's degree in marketing. “When I complete my associate degree, I’ll work in the marketing field at the same time I’m starting at a four-year campus,” Bertram said, noting her two oldest children will be in college by then and living on their own. A stay-at-home mom for many years, Bertram, now 40, had an earlier experience with college beginning at age 18 when she completed three semesters at UW-Eau Claire and a semester at Moraine Park Technical College. Her decision to return to campus stems from helping to raise the family, to being able to make a difference in the field of marketing and increase her chances at a more viable job in the workforce. She currently works nearly full-time in summer and part-time while in school. Bertram’s ultimate goal is to teach marketing on the technical college level after gaining full-time experience as a manager in the sales and marketing field. Women in Management is a local networking group for businesswomen who are in management roles at their work site or who are business owners.

Handing him his diploma is Moraine Park President Bonnie Baerwald, with Jim Eden, vice president of Academic Affairs looking on. Moraine Park holds 24th Annual GED/HSED Graduation Ceremony Moraine Park Technical College held its 24th Annual GED/HSED Graduation Ceremony on June 16. For the 2015-16 school year, 103 students received their General Education Development (GED) and High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED) certificates. Three of these individuals served as student speakers at the graduation event – Ambiyo Munie of Mogadishu, Somalia; Christopher Dietz of Beaver Dam; and Thomas Helgeson of Beaver Dam – and each reflected on vastly different journeys that led them to this point. Munie had come to America seeking to provide a better life for her mother and siblings in Somalia and took six years to learn English and earn her diploma. She currently lives in Fond du Lac. “I am here tonight to tell you that anything is possible if you work hard and are patient. If you don’t have these things, you cannot succeed,” Munie said. Dietz spent 30 years in the workforce before being laid off. As he looked for new work, he came close to landing a dream job, only to lose out when the employer discovered he had not earned his high school diploma. He credits Moraine Park for help in rebuilding his career prospects this late in life. “The teachers at Moraine Park were awesome. They never looked down at me and made me actually feel intelligent. They really made me feel I could get through the process,” Dietz said, noting he has since reapplied for and earned the same dream job he once missed out on. Helgeson, the youngest speaker, had started off his high school career in excellent fashion. After freshman year, however, he lost focus and let his grades slip beyond repair. Now, with his GED in hand, he just finished a Certified Nursing Assistant course and is set to start the Nursing Program next fall at Moraine Park. “This is my experience and all of us are so much different than each other – our pasts, our goals, and our futures,” Helgeson said. “But we’re all sitting in the same room together tonight, so that has to mean a couple of things: We’ve recognized some terrific opportunities. And we’ve capitalized on them.” State Representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt was a special guest speaker at the event. He congratulated all of the students for capitalizing on these opportunities and wished them continued success moving forward. “I don’t want you to look at this as the end of a journey. I want you to look at this as a new beginning. During your quest for your GED, I suspect that you learned a lot about yourself. Maybe you found skills you didn’t know you had. Maybe you rekindled some that hadn’t been used in a long time … [But] you have learned those things to move forward in your life,” Thiefeldt said. “I congratulate you for reaching this point. I know this isn’t the way you mapped it out probably. But you got there. You finished. And now it’s time to begin again.” In order to earn their GED/HSED, students had to pass four standardized tests in math, language, social studies and science, as well as meet other requirements. Also during Moraine Park’s GED/HSED ceremony, Arletta Allen of Fond du Lac and Rachel Martinez of Waupun were presented with Moraine Park Foundation Basic Education Scholarships. This is the sixth year the $500 scholarships have been awarded to one or more students pursuing further education at Moraine Park. “Friends of Basic Education” awards were also presented to several staff members for their work with students. Earning awards were Dan March, Joanne Michels and Mel Kolstad. All three were volunteers with Fond du Lac Literacy Services. Another “Friends” award was also presented to Fond du Lac Literacy Services as a whole, with Doris Grajkowski accepting on its behalf.

Kissinger, an electrical apprentice with Steiner Electric and graduate from Moraine Park Technical College, was awarded first place at both the state and national level in the SkillsUSA competition for industrial motor control. “He did some pretty a m a z i n g things that I have never seen before,” said MPTC Electrical Instructor Mark Wamsley. “He was always very accurate. Sometimes I felt I was searching for something he screwed up.” Kissinger knew he would be strong at state and would likely finish in the top 10 at nationals, and said he was ecstatic when he realized he won the competition. Kissinger had the background to succeed. He worked with his grandfather and other family members when fixing homes. They were contractors and remodeled homes. “I am motivated by seeing the end result,” Kissinger said. “One of the things I like about electricity — no matter what you are doing, you are pretty much going to use electricity. Even if you are out in the field using a cordless drill, you still have to charge the battery at some point.” The entire competition was set into two stages. There is a state-level event and if students placed high enough they would qualify for the national competition in Louisville, Kentucky. During the state competition hosted at Moraine Park, there were a series of events students had to compete in that test various aspects of the profession, including electrical wiring, conduit bending, an exam to determine if they understood code regulations and a job interview to prepare them for a career. The activities took eight hours to complete. “I was nervous going into it, to be honest,” Kissinger said. “I had never competed in anything like this before.

His name was announced during an awards ceremony in Madison and his performance earned him the opportunity to compete at nationals in June. Nationals was on a much larger scale where thousands of students competed across multiple events. The activities tested the same concepts, but were more intense and included additional activities. Kissinger said there was a written code test, conduit bending, motor control troubleshooting and a ladder diagram. In total, the competition took two days and was conducted under the watchful eye of judges who looked for every detail of their work, including if they kept their workspace neat. Kissinger said organizers provided a scenario, a blower to fill a box with packing peanuts and competitors had to design a circuit to make it work properly. “At nationals they do more mounting of the equipment,” Doe said. “At the state level they are all mounted on the cabinet. They just have to write it. At nationals, they have a box full of parts and we have to put it on the wall.” Kissinger waited anxiously for the results when the competition was complete.

It seemed to us that many things need to be talked about with the people running our local manufacturing plants, educational institutions and local governments, as well as other community leaders. We felt that there was great risk to our community if no action would be taken. Our group saw many great opportunities as well as concerns that need to be addressed, like our employee shortages. We were also concerned about the local retail development and housing. We were also concerned about the collaboration between current manufacturing plants and local governments. We looked at various trends and realized we need professional and experienced guidance to make an economic plan that would really work in the Mayville and Horicon area. We clearly recognized our community needs a vision for economic development. Dr. Hurtienne took leadership of the group early last fall and we started having formal meetings on November 16 last year. He was able to put a group of people together that included representatives from Madison Region Economic Partnership, the Mayville and Horicon chambers, Horicon Phoenix Group, Main Street Mayville, City of Horicon Economic Coordinator, MPTC and a few local business people like myself. We continued to meet monthly. Our first order of business was to get economic development information to both Mayville and Horicon. It was called ED101 training. Both cities participated. The next big thing we did was to hold an event called “Economic Summit, Horicon and Mayville – Reaching for 2030” on June 23. Sixty-five came together to talk about economic development. Among those people were representatives of key local manufacturers, public educators and government leaders, including the county board chaiperson and the Mayville and Horicon mayors. Our key speakers were Donna Andrew Johnson Sykora of Alliant Energy, Steve Johnson of John Deere, Bob Kamphuis of Mayville Engineering, and Paul Jadin of Madison Economic Partnership. Kathy Schlieve and Dr. Hurtienne from MPTC coordinated the group discussions. The reason I am telling our readers about this is twofold. First, I want you to know that the people leading these communities are doing something about economic development. Second, I want to give you some background to the series of articles Gayle Rydstrom is writing about the summit starting this week.She broke up her story into a three-part series since there was so much material.

He says because of that they have technology at all grade levels now. He says they have also been fortunate to have strong PTO programs that have helped them purchase things like Smart Boards and document cameras for the classrooms. 69° Clear Dew Point: 64 Winds: W 6 Pressure: 29.99" Today: 85° Tuesday: 87° Wednesday: 85° Thursday: 79° Partly Cloudy Partly Cloudy Partly Cloudy Partly Cloudy city,state,zipcode go!

Fowler shaped the college from the ground up in the early 1990s, making it one of two remaining tribal colleges in Wisconsin today. Although many Native American colleges have come and gone throughout the United States, colleagues say Fowler's determination to make the school accredited, with a firm curriculum and faculty, gave the school the foundation it needed. She's seen the school move from her home to a multibuilding campus. She started with 49 students who were mostly women in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Nearly 500 students attended the college in the last school year, many of them men and women who had recently graduated from high school, and nearly 40 percent of whom are not Native American. The school grew from teaching four basic college courses to offering nearly 25 programs, including many two-year and certificate programs, as well as bachelor's degree programs in business, public administration and early-childhood and middlechildhood education.

The Menominee chairman basically told her to create a budget within a few days, and tribal leaders would approve it. Early in her life, Fowler became a Catholic nun and a teacher, and eventually became a teacher and elementary school principal. She was attending American University in Washington, D.C., when the Menominee Tribe was going through the process of regaining status as a sovereign nation in the 1970s. The tribe's status had been terminated by the federal government in 1954 and tribal lands became Menominee County, but the new entity was too poor to fund its own social and public services, leading to the fight to regain tribal status. Fowler's experience working with activist Ada Deer prepared her for working with officials at the national level, she said. Despite her years in education, Fowler said she knew very little about tribal colleges. http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/education/2016/07/25/college-menominee-tribe-indians-wisconsin-verna-fowler-retirement/87030872/[7/26/2016 7:51:15 AM] Menominee college president relishes school's success "I knew in the back of my mind there were tribal colleges, but I never gave it any thought," she said. She was working on a doctorate degree in North Dakota when a friend insisted she visit his tribe's college, about a four-hour drive away. When she finally made the journey, Fowler said she was amazed to experience the enthusiasm for education and the school among students, teachers and staff. The tiny Turtle Mountain Tribe started its college by offering carpentry classes and requiring students to rebuild some abandoned buildings to create classroom space. "I was just amazed at what they had done," Fowler said. Fowler's mentor told her a successful tribal college needed to be accredited, and have a strong curriculum and good professors to succeed, according to Irene Kiefer, director of advancement for the Menominee college. "She did the right things to make it a successful school that students would want to come to," Kiefer said. Steady growth At the outset, there was no room in the Menominee Tribe's administration building for Fowler to run her college, other than a small desk. So she set up administrative services in her home's basement, and borrowed classroom space from the public high school. The system worked for about a year. But as tribes around the United States and Wisconsin began to build casinos they turned to the Menominees, who already had a successful operation, to help train workers. Fowler agreed to teach hospitality and similar sessions, but told tribal leaders she needed actual classrooms. The college started with two modular classrooms in what was then an open field. An actual building came in 1994, and students continued to enroll. "It grew so fast, I had a hard time keeping up," Fowler said,. "I was pedaling as fast as I could." The Menominee College later created a satellite campus in Green Bay to prepare teachers for Head Start certification for the Oneida Tribe of Indians. Fowler would like to see a theater program at the school, as well as a sports program and an athletics facility. The college also does not provide student housing, which Fowler said could be needed as younger students come to campus. The college welcomes non-Indians with open arms, although students are required to take either a Menominee language or Menominee history class, as well as a course in sustainable development. Even as the world becomes smaller with internet college courses, Fowler said it's important for tribal members to have a nearby school. "For many, this is their first college experience," she said. "I had a former Marine who wanted to attend using the GI Bill. I asked him, 'How many credits can you handle?' and he said, 'What are credits?' "They need assistance learning about college, and the skills they need to be successful at college, such as time management." http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/education/2016/07/25/college-menominee-tribe-indians-wisconsin-verna-fowler-retirement/87030872/[7/26/2016 7:51:15 AM] Menominee college president relishes school's success But that won't stop them, Fowler said.

Jul 2016 Page 22 A01 Clip resized 50% Fond du Lac, The Reporter Dreams lead to Fond du Lac, a GED SHARON ROZNIK USA TODAY NETWORK-WISCONSIN FOND DU LAC - Ambiyo Munie’s journey of 13,000 miles — from Somalia to Fond du Lac — was marked with pitfalls. So it seemed like the wildest dream come true when she crossed the stage at Moraine Park Technical College last month to receive her GED. It took her more than half a decade to earn her high school equivalency diploma, accomplished through equal parts struggle and determination. “It makes my heart beat,” the 50-year-old said. “Makes me so proud, I feel like I have earned a Ph.D.” Munie was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, located on the western horn of Africa that juts into the Arabian Sea. When she was 10 years, old her father died, and as the oldest of 10 children, she was required to work to support the family. Her job in construction entailed carrying bricks on her head in the hot sun. Without a father there was no one to buy her books, a requirement for attending school in Somalia. At age 14, she became a housekeeper and babysitter. One day her boss’s cousin, who worked at the Somalian Embassy in Washington, D.C., asked if she would travel to the United States to work at the embassy. “It was very difficult to leave my whole family, but I went because I had been asking God to make my life easier,” she said. "I thought this was the answer." Property of Wisconsin News Tracker and members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association. Instead, her American dream turned into a nightmare. Munie was forced to work without breaks, she said, and was often awakened in the middle of the night to attend to guests. All her wages were sent back to her mother in Somalia. EvenSee MUNIE, Page 6A Jul 2016 Page 22 A06 Clip resized From 98% A01 Fond du Lac, The Reporter Munie Continued from Page 1A tually the payment ended. “Without the money, my mother couldn’t support the family anymore, so they were going to send me back home,” Munie said. Twice her employer at the embassy attempted to send her back to Africa. Because the tickets at the airport were not in her name and didn’t match her passport, the airline refused to allow her to travel. Her only recourse was to run away. Her luck turned when a family in Maryland took her in and employed her as a nanny. The kindly couple bought Munie everything she needed, from toothpaste to clothing. They helped her learn English and she earned enough to send her mother $300 a month. “Most importantly, they wanted me to become an American citizen, and drove me many hours to Baltimore to take citizenship classes,” Munie said. Eventually, she met her husband, Salah, who was also from Somalia. They moved to Wisconsin and settled in Fond du Lac 18 years ago. Together they raised five children. Munie said she started attending classes at MPTC to show her children that education can open doors to opportunity. She works part-time as a housekeeper and plans to pursue a career in massage therapy. “I wanted a better life for myself, and I wanted my children to have a better life,” she said. Munie said she would one day like to visit her home in Somalia, but currently there is too much violence and unrest in the war-torn nation. “This is my home now and I want to be here forever," she said.

T M t p N N N I C Green Bay Press-Gazette COLLEGE OF MENOMINEE NATION Founding president relishes school’s success Jul 26 2016 Page A001 Clip resized 45% JIM MATTHEWS/USA TODAY NETWORK-WISCONSIN Verna Fowler, who retired this summer as president of the College of Menominee Nation, sits in the lobby of Shirley Daly Hall near the seal of the College of Menominee Nation. The college is one of two remaining tribal colleges in Wisconsin, with nearly 500 students attending last year. RETIRING WITH NO REGRETS PATTI ZARLING | USA TODAY NETWORK-WISCONSIN ESHENA - Very few of us are fortunate enough to go through life with no regrets and a genuine feeling we have made a long-lasting contribution to our community. Verna Fowler, who retired this summer as president of the College of Menominee Nation, is one such lucky person. K “It’s been a wonderful life,” the 74year-old said. “I have a lot to be grateful for.” Fowler shaped the college from the ground up in the early 1990s, making it one of two remaining tribal colleges in Wisconsin today. Although many Na- tive American colleges have come and gone throughout the United States, colleagues say Fowler’s determination to make the school accredited, with a firm curriculum and faculty, gave the school the foundation it needed. She’s seen the school move from her home to a multibuilding campus. She started with 49 students who were mostly women in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Nearly 500 students attended the college in the last school year, many of them men and women who had recently graduated from high school, and nearly 40 percent of whom are not Native American. The school grew from teaching four basic college courses to offering nearly 25 programs, including many two-year and certificate programs, as well as bachelor’s degree programs in business, public administration and early-childhood and middle-childhood See FOWLER, Page 8A Property of Wisconsin News Tracker and members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association. Green Bay Press-Gazette Fowler Continued from Page 1A Jul 26 2016 Page A008 Clip resized 54% From A001 education. Fowler has seen former students go on to become attorneys, teachers and a tribal judge. Linda Bartelt, executive director of the NEW Education Resource Alliance, praised Fowler’s leadership. NEW ERA is a consortium of two- and four-year colleges in eastern Wisconsin, including the University of WisconsinGreen Bay and UW-Oshkosh, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton and Moraine Park Technical College in Fond du Lac. Fowler was elected president of the NEW ERA board in 2011. “She is wonderful, so dedicated to higher education and what is possible,” Bartelt said. “She sets an example to mentor younger people in all different careers and opportunities. We certainly are going to miss her.” Fowler said she knew when the time had come to pass the torch. Although in good health, back pain makes traveling difficult. And travel and networking are a big part of leading a college. “I knew it was time,” Fowler said. “After my last trip, I said ‘Verna, you can’t do this anymore.’” She plans to help in any way she can, including grant writing and volunteering in the community, while staying out of the way of her successor. “I won’t be walking these halls,” she said with a laugh. “I have to get out of the way and let the new creativity flow. There are very capable and eager people here with great ideas.” Fowler takes pride in the school’s accomplishments. “When I think about my students, they persevere,” Fowler said. “It may take them six years to complete a two-year degree, but they do not give up. I will see them in the store, and they will say ‘I’ll be back next year. I had to take a semester off to earn money for college, but I’m coming back.’ “That’s inspirational,” she said. “To see their accomplishments and to think of their families. This is one of the poorest areas of the state. It will take time to make changes, but education, in my estimation, is about the only way out of poverty.” Every student is required to apply for financial aid, she said, and about 95 percent qualify. Funding also comes through federal grants, Bureau of Indian Affairs grants, private scholarships and grants, and tribal subsidies. The beginning The tribe started the college in part, because community members live an hour or more away from other campuses. Leaders noticed tribal members, many of whom were the first in their families to attempt college, struggled to complete degrees, either for financial or personal reasons. “There were concerns about tribal students going off to mainline campuses and being unable to complete,” she said. “For academic, financial and social issues, and also cultural, they thought it was important to have our own college.” Fowler already had an impressive résumé in education and had spent time in Washington, D.C., meeting policy- and lawmakers, so she was a good fit to help launch the school. The Menominee chairman basically told her to create a budget within a few days, and tribal leaders would approve it. Early in her life, Fowler became a Catholic nun and a teacher, and eventually became a teacher and elementary school principal. She was attending American University in Washington, D.C., when the Menominee Tribe was going through the process of regaining status as a sovereign nation in the 1970s. The tribe’s status had been terminated by the federal government in 1954 and tribal lands became Menominee County, but the new entity was too poor to fund its own social and public services, leading to the fight to regain tribal status. Fowler’s experience working with activist Ada Deer prepared her for working with officials at the national level, she said. Despite her years in education, Fowler said she knew very little about tribal colleges. “I knew in the back of my mind there were tribal colleges, but I never gave it any thought,” she said. She was working on a doctorate degree in North Dakota when a friend insisted she visit his tribe’s college, about a four-hour drive away. When she finally made the journey, Fowler said she was amazed to experience the enthusiasm for education and the school among students, teachers and staff. The tiny Turtle Mountain Tribe started its college by offering carpentry classes and requiring students to rebuild some abandoned buildings to create classroom space. “I was just amazed at what they had done,” Fowler said. Fowler’s mentor told her a successful tribal college needed to be accredited, and have a strong curriculum and good professors to succeed, according to Irene Kiefer, director of advancement for the Menominee college. “She did the right things to make it a successful school that students would want to come to,” Kiefer said. Steady growth At the outset, there was no room in the Menominee Tribe’s administration building for Fowler to run her college, other than a small desk. So she set up administrative services in her home’s basement, and borrowed classroom space from the public high school. The system worked for about a year. But as tribes around the United States and Wisconsin began to build casinos they turned to the Menominees, who already had a successful operation, to help train workers. Fowler agreed to teach hospitality and similar sessions, but told tribal leaders she needed actual classrooms. The college started with two modular classrooms in what was then an open field. An actual building came in 1994, and students continued to enroll. “It grew so fast, I had a hard time keeping up,” Fowler said,. “I was pedaling as fast as I could.” The Menominee College later created a satellite campus in Green Bay to prepare teachers for Head Start certification for the Oneida Tribe of Indians. Fowler would like to see a theater program at the school, as well as a sports program and an athletics facility. The college also does not provide student housing, which Fowler said could be needed. The college welcomes non-Indians with open arms, although students are required to take either a Menominee language or Menominee history class, as well as a course in sustainable development. Even as the world becomes smaller with internet college courses, Fowler said it’s important for tribal members to have a nearby school. “For many, this is their first college experience,” she said. “I had a former Marine who wanted to attend using the GI Bill. I asked him, ‘How many credits can you handle?’ and he said, ‘What are credits?’ “They need assistance learning about college, and the skills they need to be successful at college, such as time management.” But that won’t stop them, Fowler said. “I always tell people that I never admit to being wrong, but I will admit I was wrong about this: I underestimated the desire of people for education,” she said.

Investigators say he ran into a median wall just south of State Highway 26. A car also traveling north then came along and hit the truck. The driver of that car, a 20-year-old Appleton man, was flown to ThedaCare in Neenah with serious but nonlife threatening injuries. His two passengers suffered non-life threatening injuries and were taken to hospitals in Oshkosh. The pickup truck driver was outside of the truck when the car crashed into it. He wasn’t hurt. The accident was reported at 12:23 a.m. Toddler Saved From Drowning A two-year-old boy was saved from drowning at the Hartford Aquatic Center Monday afternoon. A lifeguard saw the toddler floundering in about two feet of water. She and other swimmers got the little one out of the water and lifeguards and a nurse started CPR. The little boy had no pulse and wasn’t breathing, but they managed to revive him. He was taken to Hartford Hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. Waupun Common Council Will Select Interim Mayor Waupun’s Mayor gave a tearful farewell during a special meeting of the Common Council this week. Kyle Clark has resigned due to health reasons. Clark talked about how much it meant for him to serve the community and then he thanked his wife for her support. The meeting was to decide how to fill the mayor’s slot because Clark’s term runs until April of 2018. City Attorney Dan Vande Zande outlined different options and the Council decided two things. They will hold a special election next April for the final year of Clark’s term, but they will also appoint an interim mayor. (People interested in that should submit their names and letters of interest to the City Treasurer by next Tuesday. The Council will select the interim mayor at their August 16th meeting. Clark was with the City of Waupun for 31 years as City clerk and administrator and has been Mayor since 2014. WEATHEROLOGY Fond Du Lac, WI Aviation Business Park Being Introduced In Oshkosh Today What better place to introduce an Aviation Business Park than at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh? Audra Hoy of the Greater Oshkosh Economic Development Corporation says the business park at Wittman Regional Airport is a project developed by Winnebago County and the City of Oshkosh. She says Wisconsin companies employ more than 24,000 workers that support the aerospace manufacturing sector. The new Aviation Park in Oshkosh is expected to spur over $73 million in economic activity in the next 10 years and create 250 to 500 jobs in the area. Hoy says the feedback they’ve gotten at AirVenture this week tends to support those projections. The new Aviation Park will be introduced today at AirVenture. Aids Ride Traveling Through The Area This Weekend Look for a number of bicycle riders in the area for the 2016 Wisconsin Aids Ride over the next four days. Kristin Wollenberg of the Aids Resource Center of Wisconsin says it’s a 300 mile event that starts out in Madison, but will use Horicon High School as a base camp. She says it’s supported by volunteers who do a number of tasks including preparing meals for the riders. Riders gather pledges and do fundraisers ahead of the event to raise money for it. On Friday the ride will take riders through Columbus Park in Campbellsport, Buttermilk Creek Park in Fond du Lac, and Dale R. Michels Memorial Park in Brownsville before returning to Horicon. Over the last 14 years the ride has raised $3.3 million for HIV prevention, care, and treatment services in Wisconsin. 74° Cloudy Dew Point: 62 Winds: E 9 Pressure: 29.96" This Afternoon: 75° Friday: 77° Saturday: 77° Sunday: 81° Partly Cloudy Partly Cloudy Partly Cloudy Partly Cloudy city,state,zipcode go!

West Bend, Daily News GET TO KNOW DIANE SCHMIDT-MANSAVAGE Jul 28 2016 Page A04 Clip resized 39% Fairly victorious Hartford woman has been exhibiting — and winning — at the county fair for years By GAY GRIESBACH For the Daily News dailynews@conleynet.com Diane Schmidt-Mansavage is spending her week cooking, baking, working on the perfect table settings and arranging flowers, but not for a fancy dinner party. The Hartford woman has been exhibiting at the Washington County Fair, first as a member of the defunct Farmington-area 4-H Bee Maries in the late 1970s and as an open class competitor since the fair moved from Slinger to its present home in 1999. As a junior exhibitor, food and woodworking were two of her favorites. “I thought woodworking was neat. I still have a footstool I made,” Schmidt-Mansavage said. She liked cooking so much she attended the Moraine Park Technical Institute in Fond du Lac to study food service, but found her interest was more in the creative instead of managerial aspects of food preparation. Now a registered nurse at Columbia St. Mary’s in Milwaukee, Schmidt-Mansavage takes her vacation during the week of the fair. On Tuesday, she entered her pumpkin bread, peanut butter cookies, beet cake, white cake, brownies, maple syrup bites, Viennese almond cookies and a poppy seed cake into the open class food competition. Her poppy seed cake has been so successful she’s exhibited it five times and won blue ribbons with it in past competitions. “It’s just so good and easy to make,” Schmidt-Mansavage said. But she also enjoys a challenge. “One year I got a merit award for a schaum torte — those are very Gay Griesbach/For the Daily News Diane Schmidt-Mansavage expresses her surprise at winning grand champion and champion reserve ribbons for two of her open class table settings Tuesday at the Washington County Fair. TOP: Schmidt-Mansavage stands near her prize-winning open class black-and-white photograph of a violin difficult to make,” she said. Her test subjects include family, friends and coworkers, and she always has an eye out for new recipes. “I get recipes from everywhere; I add, delete, try out different things,” Schmidt-Mansavage said. Every May she picks up a fair premium book and starts picking out categories. “I don’t like to copy,” SchmidtMansavage said. “I try to make what others don’t.” “She’s always had a lot of excellent bakery and brings in a variety in different classes. I’ve enjoyed working with her,” Open Class Food and Food Preservation Superintendent Barb Falk said. “She’s always done an excellent job.” She’ll begin planning her recipes for next year’s fair as soon as this one ends. Schmidt-Mansavage said her entire family has had entries in the fair, including her mom, Barbara, who was bringing in her open class food entries later that day. She's saved all her ribbons, from 4-H as well as those from open class competitions. “I’d guess I have over 100 — in all colors,” Schmidt-Mansavage said. This year she earned a third-place ribbon in the very competitive field of open class photography and when passing the table setting area, was delighted to find she had won grand champion and champion reserve ribbons for two of her entries. Schmidt-Mansavage was planning to make flower arrangements for her next entries. While she uses standard blooms from her garden, she is always looking for unique ways to arrange them. “The arranging — that’s where you stand out,” Schmidt-Mansavage said.

Olson moved from her superintendent position with the Hartford School District to the Whitnall School District superintendent position. Moving out of the county meant she no longer filled the requirements for the position. “I no longer qualify to be on the Board,” Olson said. There are typically nine Board members, some with a specific focus. There are employer and employee members, and the rest are called additional members. Terms for each member typically last three years — Olson left after one year. Olson said she wanted to spend at least one term on the Board. “I wanted to see how we could build stronger bridges between K-12 and the tech school,” she said. Moraine Park begins accepting applications for Olson’s position today through Aug. 12. The applicant must be a school district administrator and reside in the Moraine Park district. The district includes Calumet, Columbia, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Marquette, Sheboygan, Washington, Waushara and Winnebago counties. Applications should be accompanied by two written Daily News Dr. Lisa Olson addresses the graduating class of Hartford Union High School during the graduation ceremony June 5 in Hartford. references. Applicants must also attend a public hearing of the District Board Appointment Committee, which is tentatively scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Sept. 12. “It’s a very clear process,” Executive Assistant for the President’s Office Jodie Schneider said. Three Board members went through the process again to be reappointed in July. Their terms will end June 2019. Vernon Jung was among the three sworn in July 11 and has been on the Board for 22 years. “We very, very seldom have vacancies,” Jung said. Jung said the process to be appointed to the 103-year-old Board is clear, but thorough. Though anyone who fits the criteria may apply, they will ultimately have to be appointed by the County Board chairs within the district. Olson said whoever is appointed to the position should make an effort to immerse themselves right away and attend events in which students are involved. The term of the interim appointment will expire on June 30, 2018 when Olson’s term would have ended. Property of Wisconsin News Tracker and members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

Hartford, Times Press Jul 31 2016 Page 005 Clip resized 48% Marked for patrol Sheriff’s office seeking squad car designs from public By ALEX BELD Times Press The Washington County Sheriff’s Office has called for community members to submit designs for their new squad vehicles, which will begin arriving in spring. The call for submissions came from a Facebook post from the Sheriff’s Office, indicating they would prefer a design that makes the squad car quickly recognized as a law enforcement vehicle. “We thought it was a good way to involve the community,” Capt. Martin Schulteis said. The current squad cars are Chevy Impalas, which were discontinued as an option. The 2016 Ford Explorer will replace them. The Impalas sport a design of three black lines, close together on a white background, with “emergency 911” interrupting the lines near the rear quarter panel. “Sheriff” and a sixpointed star can be seen at the front doors. “They’re kind of subtle,” Washington County Historical Society Member Sherrill Leifer said. She hasn’t noticed much of a change since she moved here in 1977. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were two thick black lines instead of three thin ones. Since the 1970s, the squad cars have said Sheriff and Washington County accompanied by a six-pointed star. John Ehlke/Times Press Capt.

But very few of them live within the confines (Photo: Ray Mueller) of the unincorporated village in northeast Fond du Lac County which boasts one of the largest rural mail delivery territory anywhere. Among the exceptions are John and Joan Brusoe, who've lived in the community along Fond du Lac County W for the past 47 years. In their retirement, they've taken up a pair of collection and restoration hobbies — hay trolleys and farmyard windmills — that one would not expect from anyone who was not previously involved in farm life. TOP VIDEOS John Brusoe attributes his interest in and curiosity about the history of those pieces of equipment that were standard on many farms in the late 1800s and early decades of the 1900s to two things — his “fascination with wind” and his attendance at county fairs as a youth in his native Upper Michigan. MORE STORIES Teaching in Wisconsin After graduating from Northern Michigan University in 1965, Brusoe taught business classes for one year at a junior high school in Sheboygan. While there, he met his wife, Joan. Ag industry leader, Doug Wolf, passes away at 61 Aug. 3, 2016, 12:55 p.m. Brusoe taught in New Holstein for the 1966-67 school year. Then he began a 32-year career as a teacher of accounting to students of all ages at Moraine Park Technical College in Fond du Lac. 100 years of research Aug. 3, 2016, 11:47 a.m. Realizing how “my whole life was in books,” Brusoe developed an interest in “preserving farm heritage” by saving, restoring and displaying items that most people would discard because something else had come along to replace them. In the case of hay trolleys, their demise was hastened by the hay balers introduced by Garden Calendar the major farm equipment companies during the 1940s. With the small farmyard Aug. 3, 2016, 10:55 a.m. windmills, it was the coming of electric power to rural areas in the 1930s and 1940s that then handled the pumping of water. Claiming that he's not a mechanical expert, Brusoe opted for the most simple and uncomplicated units that could still be found. Their hobby has taken the Brusoes to numerous conventions, shows and other events around the country during the past 10 years. http://www.wisfarmer.com/story/news/2016/08/03/brusoe-team-pursues-farm-equipment-history/87985800/[8/4/2016 1:46:08 PM] Brusoe team pursues farm equipment history Hay trolley heaven To anyone seriously or even casually interested in hay trolleys, Brusoe recommends the HayTrolleyHeaven.com website. He was first drawn to hay trolleys after reading about them in the May 2003 issue of Farm Collector magazine that was published in conjunction with a collector group's convention. The Brusoes attended that convention the next year. They credit Steve Weeber of of Iowa City, IA, an early collector of hay trolleys, with helping them develop their own collection. And they're proud 10-year plus members of the Hay Tool Collectors Association. Hay trolleys became popular as a labor saver on farms for moving loose hay into mows for storage to feed cattle and horses during the winter. They were a major improvement on the pitchforks, single and double harpoon forks, grapple forks and “muscle” that were the previous tools for “putting up” hay in barns, Brusoe observes. With the trolleys, the tracks or rails on which they rolled, ropes, swivels, and slings or carriers, farmers were able to “put up” their hay in mows either through an entrance on a sidewall of the barn or from inside. In effect, the hay was being dropped from above thanks to the trolleys. History of hay trolleys The country's industrial capacity that was developed during the Civil War led directly to the manufacture of equipment that was quickly adapted on farms in the following decades, Brusoe points out. Literature on the topic indicates that the high point in the market for hay carriers or trolleys continued from 1868 to 1910. There were 50 manufacturers of the carriers but five of them accounted for 60 percent of the production. Those company names were Hunt Helm Ferris, F.E. Myers & Bro., Porter, and Ney Mfg. The fifth one on the list was Louden, which specialized in obtaining patents. Brusoe notes that the first swivels were designed by Richard Miller and made by Eagle Fork at Stephensville (near Appleton). The Star Crossed draft sling carrier was made the Myers company at Harvard, IL. Other companies made the tracks on which the trolleys rolled. One unit the Brusoes have is an 1870 split rail model with a Powell's Patent date of May 24. They also have a Myers unloader and a Hudson brand name unit. Brusoe explained that the Myers unit had an “open throat” concept while others had a “closed throat.” He noted that closed throats had a tendency to wear. When owners had to replace a track, they had to stay with the same brand because of the sizing. A continuing search Although they own and show a number of hay trolleys made by the leading manufacturers in Wisconsin and nearby states, the Brusoes are interested in finding even more. They've obtained most of their units at flea markets, in conjunction with the takedown of barns and through referrals and calls made by people who know them. Among the places they've obtained units are from near Stevens Point and in Iowa and Nebraska. When the Brusoes acquire an item, that's when the serious teamwork begins. John http://www.wisfarmer.com/story/news/2016/08/03/brusoe-team-pursues-farm-equipment-history/87985800/[8/4/2016 1:46:08 PM] Brusoe team pursues farm equipment history handles the major structural or other tasks while Joan specializes in the painting or other final detail updates. To teach other people about the units they have, the Brusoes have an extensive array of posters, pictures, illustrations, and displays for those units. Some of them are taken from advertisements, catalogs or operator's manuals. In the local area, the Brusoes can be found with a display of their collection almost every year at the Meyer family's antique tractor field day near Charlesburg, the Wisconsin Steam Engine Show in Chilton (Aug. 13 and 14 this year), at the Empire Threshing Association field day (Aug. 27), and at the Vintage Steel show at Calumetville on the Calumet and Fond du Lac County line Sept. 17 and 18. Backyard windmills The second part of preserving a bit of farm heritage that the Brusoes have chosen is the placement of three smaller unit windmills in their backyard with two more on the horizon. Brusoe said his curiosity about windmills is fanned by the difference in types and styles. Among them, the Aermotor was the most popular before the widespread installation of electricity on farms, Brusoe said. Another was the Eli, which was made in Nebraska City, NE, has a 10-foot fan and was the only gearless windmill ever made. The third windmill which stands on the Brusoes' property is the Monitor, which has a 5foot fan, was made in Evansville and had an open gear. He also mentioned the Flint and Walling 5-foot Star Zephyr model from 1937 that has an oil bath. Wind-powered battery charger A largely forgotten device that was used for a number of years to obtain power from the wind was the wind-powered battery charger, Brusoe said. It was used on farms as a source of cheap energy before electric power was extended to rural areas less than 100 years ago. The first such unit was made in 1927 the by Albers brothers on their farm in Iowa. Named Wincharger, it was first used to recharge a 6-volt storage battery that was used to operate vacuum tube radios. With later capacities up to 32 volts, it was used to power lights, refrigerators, water pumps, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, toasters and cream separators on farms. Zenith Radio bought the Wincharger company in 1937 and continued making the units until 1968. The Brusoes restored a 6-volt Wincharger, which they then donated to the Eden Historical Society. An additional interest for the Malone couple is the keeping of honeybees. With the losses of population due to one or more causes and the cost of replacement bees, they're down to one hive today after once having up to four hives.

Kewaskum, The Statesman Page 22 • August 4, 2016 • Kewaskum Statesman Aug 04 2016 Page 022 Clip resized 79% Departing Seniors Have Last Words By Judy Harlow After the 4-0 loss to the eventual state champion Menomonee Falls, the Kewaskum High baseball team bid farewell to its three seniors, pitcher/infielder Michael Prochnow, third baseman Devyn Zillmer and outfielder Zach Heberer. All will be missed next year, and the three will also miss participating in the sport. Here are a few thoughts they offered to the Statesman in recent interviews, including what they felt were memorable moments, what they will take from the sport that will be useful in their adults lives, and their plans for the future. “I’d say my memory would have to be my freshman year when we knocked off Plymouth in the first game of the sectional,” Prochnow said, adding a second major memory was “hitting a home run in the first (North Shore) conference game of the year against Cedarburg.” Prochnow, who batted .450 against North Shore opponents and had a team-high three homers this summer, will be attending UW-Oshkosh in the fall. He said he plans to study secondary education in order to become a mathematics teacher. As far as what he learned in baseball, Prochnow offered three ideas: “always work hard even if no one is watching,” along with the idea of overcoming adversity because “You don’t want little things to hold you back in life.” The third comment he offered is, “No matter what you’re doing, make sure to have fun.” Zillmer, who batted .250 (12x48) and was 2-0 pitching for the Indians in their 10-8 NS season, can still remember starting out in baseball. “Probably the first plate appearance on varsity my freshman year. It was against Menomonee Falls,” he said about his biggest memory. And did he get a hit against Falls? No, “I lined out to the shortstop,” he said. His other memory was “when we beat Nicolet in the playoffs last year. We won on a walk-off wild pitch.” Zillmer’s future plans include college at the Milwaukee School of Engineering in Milwaukee. “I want to get my engineering degree and hopefully get a good career,” he said. From baseball to adulthood, Zillmer will remember the importance of hard work and perseverance, like fighting through a batting slump and to remember things can go the other way if you let them. “It can turn on you real quick, like life can,” he said. “The game (of baseball) will always humble you.” Zach Heberer had very few errors while playing in left and center fields and batted .273 (15x55) for Kewaskum in his final year in the sport. “Probably my best game was last year in our first game against Homestead. I went 2x3 with a double and a single, and I played pretty good outfield,” he said. Heberer’s plans will begin very quickly, as he starts school at Moraine Park Technical College the last week of August. “I want to be an electrician,” he said. When it comes to baseball lessons, Heberer said first, because of baseball’s complex nature, “You’ve got to know what the game is about before you start playing.” He will take a lesson from his head coach Doug Gonring into life. “Doug always wanted us to play hard, work as hard as we could,” he said.

Participants had been given six colored dots. They were to use three of them at this summit to vote for those items they thought were most important for starting the regional project, and could put more than one next to something they really believed to be vital. The other three dots were to be saved for when the second summit conference is held. Final Comments “This morning has been about big issues,” said Jadin. “We’ve gotten off to a very significant starting point.” He said he’s been involved in items on the city, county and state level. Jadin told participants that he had the most input on the city level. “As the mayor of Green Bay, I had the opportunity to drive economic development in a very specific corporate area,” said Jadin. He continued by telling the two mayors, Steve Neitzel of Horicon and Rob Boelk of Mayville, that they could be the face of the project. “There are two problems when you do an asset inventory on your own,” said Jadin. One is humility. “You tend not to understand how truly great things are in your community,” said Jadin. g C d w g S A Mayville Mayor Rob Boelk, left, and Horicon Mayor Steve Neitzel converse during the breakfast and networking session that took place on June 23.

The only way to do that is ask people who don’t live here.” Jadin said a plan is mandatory, and don’t worry about it being a great plan. “Get something implemented sooner than later,” he said. “Don’t fuss over getting a great plan because it will take you five years.” Jadin told participants to look for professionals and influential leaders as they take the next steps. “A strong region depends on strong local government and strong local economic strategy,” said Jadin. Closing out the economic summit was Dr. Matthew Hurtienne from Moraine Park. He is a member of the committee that brought the summit to fruition. Hurtienne urged participants to use their dots for voting before leaving the conference room so that the committee could use thethe data for the next step. “When we go out and try to get individuals to support this initiative, to back us, fie fir be be ba to ca be blu an toe an rie bla at an fru we can tell them that these were the top priorities,” said Hurtienne.

At the July 26 council meeting, the council unanimously approved ordinances that would allow the final parcel of not quite 40 acres to be added to TIF #5. A public hearing, with two individuals attending, was held for the zoning change request for the 40acre parcel to be rezoned from prime agriculture to combination limited industrial and heavy industrial. Neither of the two individuals voiced an opinion. Scott Harrington from Vandewalle & Associates addressed those in attendance regarding the property. He said the 40 acres being discussed includes the house. “The city now has a contract purchase offer for that which is contingent upon completion of this annexation comprehensive plan change, rezoning and adding the property to the tax increment district,” said Harrington. He added that as with the previous land acquisition, most of the acres would be general industrial, but the front acres would be limited industrial. “The uses that are permitted in each are pretty much the same; but with limited industrial, the heavy stuff would require a conditional use permit,” said Harrington. “That gives the city a little more ability to look at it and make sure it is appropriate for being on Hwy. 33.” There are two access roads at this time. As it stands, those will be the only two. Horicon Police Chief Joseph Adamson said that he liked staying with only the two as it makes responding to any calls better. Harrington said he believes there will be a loop driveway with the businesses on either side. The annexation of the property from the Town of Oak Grove to the City of Horicon was unanimously approved. Unanimous approval for ordinances 2016-08 and 2016-09 as well as resolution 2016-07 was given without any discussion. The ordinances included adopting amendments to the comprehensive plan and the rezoning of the tax parcel. The resolution was approving the project plan amendment No. 1 to Tax Increment District #5. “This brought us to the point where we are much closer to completing this deal,” said Mayor Steve Neitzel. He added that there are many steps for the city to buy land. The changes to the property are not official until the joint review board approves them on August 11. That board includes representatives from Dodge County board of supervisors, Horicon School District, Moraine Park Technical College and the City of Horicon as well as a member of the public. The latter was appointed at the July joint review board meeting. Property of Wisconsin News Tracker and members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.
