DNR still considering enforcement for
frac sand pollution in 18 Mile Creek
TOWN OF HOWARD —
State Department of Natural
Resources officials are still considering whether they can take
any enforcement action for frac
sand pollution in 18 Mile Creek
from the EOG Resources mine in
Cooks Valley.
Deb Dix, the DNR’s statewide liaison for frac sand mining,
spoke at the Howard Town Hall
October 7 about 18 Mile Creek
and other issues associated with
frac sand mining.
About 50 people attended the
meeting.
“I cannot be specific until we
hear all the details (about 18 Mile
Creek).
We won’t know the enforcement until we get there,” Dix
said.
Mark Berge, a Town of Cooks
Valley resident who lives near
the EOG Resources DS mine,
bristled.
“Why don’t I get to know? They
have been discharging onto my
property all summer long,” Berge
said.
DNR officials were planning
to meet with representatives for
EOG Resources the next day, and
it would be the first of several
meetings, Dix said.
Berge invited Dix and anyone
else from the DNR to walk his
property “to see the mess.”
A rainstorm the evening of
September 3 dumped between
two and three inches of rain on
the area in a short period of time.
By September 5, colloidal clay
runoff from the DS mine had traveled about six miles cross country, much of it through marsh,
and had turned 18 Mile Creek
through Colfax a thick-looking
caramel color.
The water in 18 Mile Creek remained caramel colored for more
than a week.
After the fine clay particles
become suspended in the water,
they tend to stay in suspension.
Berge was the first person to
contact the Colfax Messenger
about the colloidal clay runoff
from the DS mine.
Runoff from the mine is intended to collect in a holding
pond that allows the rain water
to infiltrate before the next rain
event.
Permits
The stormwater permit that
is available for the DNR to issue
for sand mines was intended for
small sand and gravel operations,
Dix said.
The colloidal clay discharge
from industrial sand mines “is
something new that was not taken into account when the permit
was written,” she said.
Chippewa County currently
has ten sand mines in operation,
and several more sand mines are
proposed.
One proposed sand mine in
the Town of Howard alone would
cover two thousand acres.
The DNR currently is working
on updates for the stormwater
permit, Dix said.
Initially, all sand mining
companies want the mines to be
drained internally, but not one of
them, on start up, can be internally drained, so they are all externally drained, Dix said.
The mines are supposed to
manage their stormwater and
not discharge it until it is clean,
she said.
The DNR regulates both
stormwater and wastewater.
When stormwater mingles with
wastewater, it becomes wastewater, Dix said.
Sand mines are supposed to
limit their stormwater discharge
to the maximum extent practicable, and the cost of management
is taken into consideration, Dix
said.
When wastewater is discharged, there is a limit of 40
milligrams of sediment per liter,
she said.
Berge said that representatives from the Chippewa County
land conservation office had collected water samples on his property, and the discharge from the
DS mine had contained more
than 12,000 milligrams of sediment per liter.
“We are not dropping it. We are
not saying we can’t do anything
… we’re looking at the whole picture before moving ahead to see
where we’re going,” Dix said.

Town of Grant farmer participates
in unusual application of winter rye
By LeAnn R. Ralph
COLFAX — Tom Knutson says
he would have been willing to bet
the farm that planting winter rye
with an airplane would not work.
Good thing he didn’t.
Because — guess what?
It works.
Winter rye was seeded by airplane on 200 acres of standing
corn on Knutson’s farm in the
Town of Grant in September.
The aerial application on
Knutson’s farm was part of 7,000
acres aerially seeded with winter
rye in Dunn, Chippewa and Barron counties by Reabe Spraying
Services out of Waupun between
Monday, September 22, and
Wednesday, September 24.
“I would have bet the farm
that it wouldn’t grow, but it did,”
Knutson said.
“They seeded the rye on Monday. I chopped the corn on Tuesday, and by Sunday, the rye was
up a good two inches,” he said.
Rain that fell later in the week
after the rye was seeded helped it
germinate, Knutson noted.
Farmers plant winter rye as
a cover crop in the fall to help
protect their farm fields from
wind and water erosion. In the
spring, the rye can be plowed under or disked in when the farmer
is ready to plant the next crop,
thereby also adding nutrients to
the soil.
“I said I would give it a try. I
didn’t think it would ever grow,
but it works,” Knutson said.
The advantage to aerially
seeding rye is that rye should be
planted by October 1 — except
in most cases in this part of Wisconsin, the corn and soybeans are
not yet ready to be harvested by
October 1.
According to Dan Prestebak,
Dunn County conservationist, a
couple of soybean fields were also
aerially planted with rye.
“They said it would have been
better a couple of weeks earlier

Dunn County PRD recommends approval of new zoning maps
Committee still struggling with housing density issue
By LeAnn R. Ralph
MENOMONIE — The Dunn
County Planning, Resources
and Development Committee is
recommending that the county
board approve new zoning maps.
The PRD committee recommended approval of the zoning
maps at the October 7meeting.
The Dunn County Board approved the new comprehensive
zoning code in October of 2013.
In the year since then, Bob Colson, Dunn County planner and
zoning administrator, has been
working with town plan commissions and town boards to modify
the General Agriculture maps to
fit the particular township.
When the county board approved the new zoning code, all of
the maps were of the “plain vanilla” variety in the form of General
Agriculture, Colson said.
Most of 16 zoned townships in
Dunn County are mostly zoned
General Agriculture.
Much of the Town of Lucas,
however, which is west of Menomonie, is zoned Primary Agriculture.
The Town of Grant, north of
Colfax, is zoned Intensive Agriculture.
The Town of Wilson, northeast
of Colfax, also is mostly zoned
Primary Agriculture.
Each of the town plan commissions and the town boards have
already approved the new zoning
maps.
Adopting the amended zoning
maps was on the agenda for the
Dunn County Board’s October 15
meeting.
Unzoned
A total of six townships in
Dunn County declined to adopt
the county’s new comprehensive
zoning code and are currently un-
zoned.
The unzoned townships are
the Towns of New Haven, Sand
Creek, Eau Galle, Elk Mound,
Spring Brook and Rock Creek.
The Town of New Haven held
a referendum during the April
election in 2012 asking residents
whether New Haven should be
zoned or unzoned.
The New Haven Town Board
had approved a moratorium on
sand mining several months earlier.
Town residents voted 98 to 88
adopt county zoning.
The New Haven Town Board
adopted county zoning at the
April of 2012 board meeting.
Two New Haven town board
supervisors approved county zoning in 2012. Town board member
Marv Prestrud abstained from

WINTER RYE — Reabe Spraying Services out of Waupun aerially

before the soybeans lost so many
of their leaves, but we tried some
to see what would happen,” Prestebak said.
Knutson said when he plants
rye with his grain drill, he applies it at two bushels per acre.
The rye planted by airplane was
seeded at one bushel per acre.
“That’s why I thought it
wouldn’t grow. It was only half
the amount I usually plant.
There were some (rye) seeds
stuck on the corn, but apparently
not enough to make much of a
difference,” Knutson said.
In addition to helping control
soil erosion and improving soil
quality, winter rye helps suppress weeds.
According to a fact sheet from
UW-Extension: “Before the era
of herbicides, cover crops such as
rye and buckwheat were used to
help clean a field of weeds. Buckwheat, with its fast growth, is
effective at outcompeting weeds

through shading or ‘choking’ out
weeds. Rye uses another method
to eliminate competition by producing chemicals, essentially a
natural herbicide, that hinder
the growth of other species — a
process called alleopathy.”
For soil quality improvements,
according to the UW-Extension
fact sheet: “Cover crops are well
known for their ability to improve
soil tilth, reduce compaction, and
reduce or eliminate surface seal.
The crop biodiversity that covers bring leads to soil organism
biodiversity. This increased biodiversity has been shown to contribute to a healthy growing environment for production crops.”
“Every field where we planted
(rye) is growing fine … they told
me it will grow on blacktop if we
get enough rain to keep the seeds
moist,” Knutson said.
Rye goes dormant over the
winter and then continues growing in the spring.

ELK MOUND — A 21-year-old
Cadott man has been arrested on
two counts of homicide by the intoxicated use of a motor vehicle
and operating a vehicle while
intoxicated following an accident
on I-94 near Elk Mound early
Saturday morning.
Michael D. Sonnentag was arrested as the suspect who caused
the accident that killed two people and injured six others when
he was found walking along
Stokke Parkway in Menomonie
later Saturday morning at 6:45
a.m.
According to a news release
from the Wisconsin State Patrol,
Dunn County and the state patrol began receiving phone calls
around 2:40 a.m. reporting a twovehicle crash on westbound I-94
near mile marker 55 and that one
of the vehicles had left the scene.
Law enforcement officials discovered that the vehicle remaining at the scene of the accident,
which turned out to be a van,
had left the roadway, overturned
and was situated in the tree line
along the north ditch.
Two passengers were prounded dead at the scene, and six other passengers were transported
to hospitals in Eau Claire with
non-life-threatening injuries.
The two people who were
killed were not wearing seatbelts and were thrown from the
vehicle, but all of those who were
injured were wearing seatbelts,
according to the news release.
State troopers on the scene
found a black hood that had been
ripped from the vehicle that left
the scene and determined the
hood was from a 1990s Toyota.
According to the state patrol
news release, at around 4 p.m.,
Dunn County deputies found a
black 1995 Toyota Camry with a
heavy front end damage parked
on a dead-end town road near
the intersection of U.S. Highway
12/state Highway 29 and county
Highway B. There was no one in
or near the vehicle.
According to a news release
from the Dunn County Sheriff ’s
Department, Dunn County deputies, with the assistance of Dunn
County’s K-9 unit and a K-9 unit
from St. Croix County, as well as
officers from the Menomonie Police Department, began searching for the suspect.
Officers also checked buildings
in the area and large fields.
At around 6 a.m., a Code Red
message was sent out to telephones within a two-mile radius
of the suspect vehicle’s location.
Dunn County deputies located
the owner and driver of the vehicle at around 6:45 a.m. when
he was walking along Stokke
Parkway not far from the Dunn
County Highway Department.
According to the news release
from the sheriff ’s department,
Sonnentag said he was alone in
the vehicle at the time of the accident.
Sonnentag was arrested and
taken to the Dunn County jail.
He appeared in Dunn County
Circuit Court on Monday, October 13, for a bail hearing.
All of the people in the van
were from out of state. The two
people who died were a 28-yearold woman, Larci Ricafrente from
Waterford, Mich., and another
28-year-old woman, Djamella Sugatan from the Philippines.
Those who were injured included Alvin D. Dimaranan, a
33-year-old man from Schiller
Park, Illinois; Leah Lim Ricafrente, a 32-year-old woman from
Schiller Park; Luisito L. Ricafrente, a 24-year-old man from
Schiller Park; Lison R. Dimaranan, a 7-year-old girl from Schiller
Park; Jovita Dela Cruz Alegre, a
55-year-old woman from Skokie,
Illinois; and Anthan V. Dimaranan, a 5-year-old boy from Schiller
Park.

water resource biologist also have
been assessing the situation, she
said.
Chuck Flodquist, who farms
downstream from Mark Berge,
said there was a significant
amount of water coming through
his place right after the September 3 rainstorm.
The water tapered off, but
then on Friday, September 5,
there was “a lot of water” again,
he said.
Flodquist said he tried to call
the DNR but everyone he talked
to referred him to someone else.
Seth Ebel of Chippewa County
land conservation was the first
person to take a look at what had
happened on his farm.
“There was a half an inch of
clay on everything,” Flodquist
said.
Regulations
This area of Wisconsin is already experiencing issues with
sand mines, and now there are
thousands of acres of new mines
being proposed, said Town of
Howard resident Susan LaNou.
The DNR has no ability to say
“no” if the sand mines meet the
permit requirements, Dix said.
The DNR cannot propose legislation. Representatives and
senators in this area must propose legislation to the state Legislature, she said.
“Our local state Assemblyman
has no clue. Nothing will happen
in Madison,” Berge said.
Tom Larson of Colfax is the
representative for the state’s
67th Assembly District that covers Chippewa County and much
of Dunn County.
Representative Larson “knows
what is going on, but he doesn’t
care,” said one gentleman in the
audience.
The best way to draw attention to the problems with sand
mining is to write letters to the
DNR secretary “so they understand how large the issue is,” Dix
said, adding, “they do not realize
it in Madison.”
The petition to the Natural
Resources Board asking for a
strategic analysis of sand mining
“is a good start,” she said.
Midwest Environmental Advocates has written the petition.
After signatures have been gathered, MEA plans to submit the
petition to the Natural Resources
Board in October or November.
Two years ago, members of the
Natural Resources Board came to
look at sand mines, but they only
looked at “the better sites,” said
Ken Schmitt, a Town of Howard
resident.
Area residents must “inundate” the DNR secretary with letters and provide specific details
about what has been seen and
experienced in the sand mining
areas, Dix said.
A good example would be the
September rain event and the observation of the amount of water
slowing down and then seeing
another flush and the subsequent
clay accumulation, she said.
People should write and talk
about “realistic things that are
tangible,” Dix said.
Writing to the state health department also would be a good
strategy, she said.
Notes from the Chief
Halloween will be here sooner
than you think and we look forward to seeing all of the people
(from the youngest to the oldest!)
and their different costumes being out and about in the Village of
Colfax. Halloween this year is on
Friday, October 31st, 2014, and
the hours for Trick-or Treating
will be from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. As
a reminder, a universal sign of a
residence participating in Trickor-Treating has to do with their
porch light. If you see a light on,
it generally means the residence
is welcoming and greeting Trickor-Treaters. If you do not see a
light on, the residence is most
likely not participating this year.
We want everyone to have
a great time, but most of all, be
safe! As it gets dark, It would be
beneficial to wear something reflective incorporated into your
costume if possible. If not, you
could carry a flashlight or light
stick so you are more visible.
Please be alert in regards to the
extra traffic on the roads and
make sure you can be seen. Use
sidewalks where available, and
try to use crosswalks when crossing the roads. For those citizens
that are driving around during
this time, please be extra careful
as you pay attention to the surroundings and people that are
out and about. The saying goes
“look twice”- and on this day, we
are leaning more toward “look 3
or 4 times.”
Officers will be on duty in the
Village during this time, and if
you have any questions or concerns, please get a hold of us!
Thank you, be safe, and have
fun!

Reclamation
Another sand mining topic Dix
addressed was mine reclamation.
Several people in the audience
wondered how agriculture could
be one of the accepted end results
of mine reclamation after the
sandstone filter for the groundwater has been removed.
If the sandstone filter has been
removed, farm chemicals or other
contaminants will be able to easily get into the groundwater, they
said.
If the reclamation plan is to
bring the land back to agriculture, the mine operators have to
prove that they have achieved
the proposed end use, Dix said.
“Six inches of topsoil on rock
is not farmland,” she said, adding that she hoped the county
land conservation offices in mining areas would not accept such
a proposal.
One gentleman in the audience mentioned the topsoil study
in Chippewa County being conducted in conjunction with UWRiver Falls.
The first test plot will grow
native grasses and prairie plants
and will not be a farm field that
can be plowed and planted to
corn, he said.
Dix said if the end use for mine
reclamation is agriculture, she
“would like to see enough to till.”
Bore holes
Several people also mentioned
bore holes and that people exploring for frac sand do not always
close the holes when they are finished prospecting.
The exploration companies
are required to submit bore hole
abandonment forms, and one
company wants to keep those
forms confidential, Dix said.
The DNR is fighting the idea
that the abandonment forms
should be confidential, she said.
If the bore holes are over ten
Wednesday, October 15, 2014
feet deep or if they intersect with
the groundwater, the companies
are required to properly abandon
the holes with bentonite and report that they have abandoned
the holes, Dix said.
As of October 1, the DNR has
citation authority for boreholes,
Schmitt said, and Dix confirmed
that it was true.
“If they can’t close bore holes,
what makes you think they can
run a sand mine?” commented
one person in the audience.
What many people do not realize is that if the mine operator
walks away and does not close
the bore holes or does not do the
mine reclamation, it is the landowner’s responsibility to fix it,
Dix said.
People who attended the meeting also talked about fugitive
dust from the sand mines, sand
blowing off the mine faces and
sand blowing off trucks hauling
the sand.
One gentleman in the audience predicted that a marsh he
has observed next to a sand mine
will be filled in with blowing sand
within ten years.
Dix said the air emissions permits are complicated and that
a DNR air emissions engineer
would be better equipped to answer their questions.
Anyone wishing to contact Dix
about problems with sand mining
can call her at (715) 421-7809 or
(715) 421-9914 (cell).
Dix is the interim frac sand
liaison and previously worked in
DNR enforcement.
The DNR is planning to hire
someone to permanently fill the
position, and after a replacement
is hired, Dix will go back to working in enforcement.
Dix was appointed the interim frac sand liaison after Tom
Woletz retired last year.
Off the Publisher's Desk
Over the past year or so, I have been inundated with negative material about the ills of the Affordable Health Care Act, called Obama
Care. Recently I got a list of items that could, or will affect my family
and me, as we get older.
I tried to find out if any of those things on the list were true and
looking at the internet to find an answer was almost impossible. There
is so much about the law that I can’t tell what is the truth or what is
false.
I do know that Nancy Pelosi, with Harry Reid at her side didn’t
want us to know what was in the law until it was passed. “We have to
pass the bill so that we can see what’s in it,” she stated.
Another thing I know is members of Congress are exempt from the
law, just like they are from Social Security. They have their own, wellfunded, plan. Funded with taxpayers money.
A couple of items on the scare list included something bad is going to happen with your cancer care after you reach age 76 and the
government will have real-time access to your bank account. But just
a note, the government already has access to your accounts. Just do
not pay your taxes, and see how fast the government raids your bank
account.
Recently a Judge White of Oklahoma ruled that the IRS rule governing the state health exchanges was not in accordance with law.
According to Robert Romano, the senior editor of Americans for
Limited Government, “At issue is that the health care law only ever
authorized subsidies to private insurers be paid through the state exchanges, not the federal ones. By not setting up state exchanges as
36 states have not done (Wisconsin included), a key aspect of the law­
some $800 billion a year of subsidies — may be implemented is very
much in question.”
Now, where is the $800 billion annually going to come from? The
bill is loaded with fees, fines, forfeitures, high premiums and taxes
to support the spending. I am told that taxes under this bill can’t be
called taxes!
The goose that lays the golden egg died a long time ago, and how
can we as a nation pay this high cost when we are already nearly eighteen trillion in debt. At the rate the Obama Administration is spending money, that figure will reach $20 trillion by the time he leaves
office. What does that amount look like on paper? Take $18 and add
a dozen zeros. And by the way, that last word is what I think we have
leading our country.

Letter to the Editor
Frac-sand mining companies

West Central Wisconsin. They
typically pay a holding premium
of several thousand dollars for entire farms. They agree to pay one
dollar or more per ton of extracted sand if mining actually occurs.
They even offer to pay a small
sum for legal advice—and the
landowner can pocket that money
if he/she decides not to hire an
attorney. They suggest that immense wealth will accrue from
the extraction and they promise
the land will be reclaimed well
enough to produce good, usable
farmland, replete with sparkling
ponds when the mining is finished.
For a few landowners some of
these signing promises actually
happen. Not always. Not even
often. It’s just as likely that sand
mining may never occur and no
royalties will ever be paid. Either
way the landowner has a very
real problem; He/she most certainly has what amounts to a long
term lien against the property.
Such leases must be disclosed to
potential buyers of the property
and to any lending institution
financing it. These defacto liens
can last forty years or longer. Not
many people buy such encumbered property.
There has recently been a
spate of such lease signing. Some
landowners reportedly regret
having signed but they feel stuck
because the leases contain nondisclosure clauses and provisions
for “remedial action.” They are
not permitted to talk about lease
terms and they have almost no
right to terminate them without
threat of being sued. So, what to
do? Get legal advice. The leases
are unbalanced in favor of the
mining companies. If too much
is unrealistically promised, that
may be considered material misrepresentation. If coercion tactics
were used to influence signing,
that’s highly questionable. It’s
worth checking out.

What is your favorite season?
Half of our residents said they
liked fall because of the multicolored leaves and vigorous crisp
air. The other half said it was
their least favorite season. They
know that winter weather is forging ahead which was proven by
the hard frost this week. It didn’t
hurt the mums in the courtyard.
The colors are still brilliant and
enjoyed by all. Saturday evening
we had another of our favorite
things “A Saturday Night Special”. Jim Herrick and Friends
had the Square rocking and residents are still talking about how
much fun they had. Our musicians commonly entertain during
the week so a weekend concert is
a treat.
Sunday of course was resident’s day of rest. Mass and
Church were broadcast on the
TV in the Square. Friends and
family members visited all day.
The REX Classes and Bounce
Ball were well attended all week
end. Monday morning residents
had devotions, went over current
events and had a stretching exercise session. The afternoon program was entertainment by Rich
Schroeder. His music is another
of our favorite things to listen
to. Bingo and Happy hour were
Tuesday afternoon’s programs.
Bingo is certainly one of our resident’s favorite things. Wednesday morning one of our favorite
ministers Pastor DeMaris led the
church service and Deloris Huber
was our pianist. She was also our
pianist on Friday at our regular
Gospel sing in the morning. Glen
and Julie led the sing. Several
residents choose their favorite
hymns. Volleyballs are another of
our favorite pastimes. Thursday
morning the lines faced off and
the balls bounced hither, tither
and yon. The laughter was just
as much fun as the game.
The Church Ladies from
Holton Church were here on Friday for our monthly birthday bingo games. We are so blessed by
all the people who come and help
our residents. One volunteer said
she gets more enjoyment helping
than she gives. These volunteers
become part of our extended family and we can’t do without them.
We are working hard to keep our
web site updated. The 4th Quarter newsletter, pictures, receipts
and much more are available. Go
to colfaxhealthandrehabilitation.
com and check us out. These are
a few of our favorite things here
in the land of Colfax where the
warm hearts of everyone in the
community helps to take edge off
the brisk weather.

Colfax netters stay unbeaten in conference play with wins over Boyceville, Spring Valley
With everyone paying so much
attention to the unbeaten Colfax
and Elk Mound volleyball teams,
nobody really noticed that the
Boyceville Bulldogs were also undefeated in conference play when
they entered the Vikings’ gym
Oct. 7. The Bulldogs had been
flying under the radar with a
mix of some experienced seniors
and talented underclassmen as
well as a new coach. But it was
Parents and Senior Night for Colfax and the Vikings came out on
fire and made it a short evening
with a three set win. Traveling
to Spring Valley two days later,
they followed the same pattern
and finished off the Cardinals in
three sets, setting up a conference championship match at Elk
Mound Tuesday, Oct. 14.
Boyceville
Colfax pulled ahead in set one
11-4 in part by three Kori Buchanan kills and a block at the net
while Chey Olson served up four
points with an ace. Boyceville got
to within three points with senior
Abbey Bird serving and fellow
senior Alexa Peterson blocking a
Buchanan shot and Erica Sempf
slamming a kill. But the Vikings
had too many weapons for Boyceville to cover as Katie Christoffel served up an ace, Marianne
Scharlau scored on a block and
a tip and Dannielle Dachel had
her own kill to build a 19-11 lead.
Lakken Meredith, the number
one setter for the team, served
up three points with two aces and
back row specialist Bryana Buchanan scored on a kill from mid
court for a 21-12 advantage. After
another Dachel kill and two Boyceville errors when they couldn’t
handle Olson’s serves, Meredith
put the set away with a quick tip

Riek in the first set of the conference match played Oct. 7 in Colfax.

for a 25-14 win.
The Bulldogs were dealt a big
blow early in set two when Bird
lost her footing and went to the
floor hard on her knee. After
being helped off the court, she
spent the rest of the match on
the bench, forcing coach Corrie
Roemhild to adjust her lineup.
Colfax was ahead 4-3 at the time
then struggled for the next few
minutes and couldn’t get ahead
by more than a point. The score
was knotted at 5-5, 6-6, 8-8, 10-10
and 13-13 before Olson smacked
a shot past a Bulldog block attempt and Meredith sent two
unreturnable serves over the net
for a 16-13 Colfax lead. Dachel
scored on a quick tip. Scharlau
and Makayla Mattson combined
for a block and a Dachel ace serve
gave the Vikings a 21-15 lead.
Boyceville fought back to get
within three points, down 21-18,
but they had no answer for Kori
Buchanan as she slammed a kill,
served twice and scored the final
two points with big spikes, the
final one bouncing off a Bulldog
player, for a 25-20 second set win.
“I give Boyceville a lot of credit
after one of their starters was
injured,” Colfax coach Pam Meredith said. “Abbey is a four year
varsity player for them and that
really changed their dynamics
with her out. But they gave us
all we could handle in the second
set.”
Olson came up with three of
the Vikings first six points of the
third set when she blocked a shot,
scored on a straight shot to the
floor kill and added a tip for a 6-2
lead. After a long rally, Kori Buchanan finished off another point
with a kill and Dachel served an
ace for a 10-5 advantage. A Boyceville kill and some Colfax errors
allowed the Bulldogs to get back
into the game with the Vikings
up just 13-10, but solid serving by
Kori Buchanan along with blocks
by Olson and Dachel put Colfax
back in control at 19-13. Boyceville did their best to try and block
Buchanan’s slams, and although
they managed to get their hands
on the ball in the backcourt, the
ball went out of bounds twice off
dig attempts, allowing Colfax to
up the score to 23-16. A Scharlau
kill and an Olson ace finished off
the set and match at 25-16.
“We played a consistent match
against a very talented team,”
coach Meredith said. “It was a
nice win for us on Parents and
Senior Night.”
Kori Buchanan led the Vikings
with 14 kills to go with eight from
Olson and four each from Mere-
Colfax harriers tune up for conference meet at Old Abe Invite
EAU CLAIRE — In their final
competition before the conference
meet this Thursday in Boyceville,
the Colfax girls finished 10th of
15 teams at the Old Abe Invitational Oct. 11 while the boys were
12th of 15 teams. The race, hosted by Eau Claire Memorial was
run at South Middle School and
had several Division I schools
providing some tough competition for the Vikings.
Courtney Dressel was the first
runner for the Colfax girls to
cross the finish line, placing 29th
out of 109 runners in a time of
20:53. Abbagail Schotter followed
in 40th place at 21:12, Mackenzie
Jensen was next at 22:13 for 58th
place, Cienna Cooper was 69th in
23:05 and Ally Heidorn was the
final runner for the team in 95th
place at 24:54. Aubrey Roberts of
Memorial won the race at 17:57.
Colfax was missing two sport
athlete Dannielle Dachel who
was playing in a volleyball tournament, however Dachel should
be available to compete in the
conference meet.
“We had a look at some of the
best teams in our conference and
sectional in this meet,” coach Joe
Doucette said. “We ran pretty
solid but I’m afraid we don’t have
enough time to gain any more
ground for the next few weeks.”
The boys were also without
one of their top runners, Zack Arvold who was ill, allowing Tucker
Hovde to take the lead for the
boys, placing 59th in a field of 114
at 18:22 with Patrick Treacy, also
of Memorial winning the race in
15:46. Brett Prince was the next
Viking in at 18:29 for 63rd place,
Brady Simonson was 65th at
18:33, Jacob Larson was close behind in 69th at 18:39 and Hunter
Lieffort was 81st at 19:16.Also
competing were Issac Lee in 83rd
at 19:23 and Daniel Schneider in
87th at 19:41.
“The boys ran pretty good
timewise but we had great competition,” Doucette said. “We will
have to run some great times at
conference to retain our championship.”

allowing the score to be tied at 9-9
before going on a roll and taking
the first set 25-11. In set two, Dachel went to the serving line with
the Vikings up 10-5 and when her
serving rotation was done, Colfax
led 24-6. Dachel had three aces in
the run and two block-kills while
Mattson saved several points on

little harder, winning 25-15.

go with six from Christoffel.
“We have been able to pull ourselves out of a couple trouble sets
throughout the season,” coach
Meredith said. “It is nice to know
we can battle back but we would
prefer to start and finish a set or
match within our level of play.”
Colfax netters compete

Mounders continue to struggle with loss to Bulldogs Elk Mound spikers prepare
BOYCEVILLE — After playfor conference showdown
ing a somewhat competitive game
in a loss to Mondovi last week,
the Elk Mound football team fell
flat in a 39-6 loss to the Boyceville Bulldogs on Boyceville’s home
field October 10. The Mounders
are now 1-7 for the season and
will finish the season at home
against conference leading — and
undefeated — St. Croix Central
this Friday night.
Boyceville led 13-0 after the
first quarter on a 66 yard touchdown run by Jordan Morse, a
Jake Lake extra point kick and
a 23 yard scoring run by Brady
Schutts. Elk Mound moved the
ball all the way to the Bulldog 36
on one of their possessions but
on a fourth and four, they failed
to convert and turned it over on
downs. The Bulldogs doubled
their score in the second quarter
when Hunter Alexander threw a
pair of touchdown passes, one to
Brett Boda from 30 yards out followed by Lake’s kick, and another
to Mitch Leach for 42 yards and a
26-0 lead.
Elk Mound showed some spark
when Cole Tyman pinned the
Bulldogs deep in their own territory on a punt, and the defense
eventually forced Boyceville to
punt it right back. The Mounders
then got their offense in gear as
quarterback Shawn Flynn connected with Jon Storing on a 27
yard pass which led to Noah Zurbuchen taking it across the goalline from seven yards out. The
conversion was stopped but Elk
ELK MOUND’S Hunter Adelman tried to fend off the tackle attempt of Boyceville’s Jordan Morse in the
Mounders 39-6 loss in Boyceville October 10. Adelman had seven carries for 16 yards.

Mound was on the board down
26-6.
Boyceville, who are one of four
conference teams playoff eligible,
tacked on more points on a passing touchdown from Alexander
to Schutts in the third quarter
and another on the ground in the
fourth by Hunter Lipke to finish
things off.
Zurbuchen once again went
over the 100 yard mark rushing with 125 on 19 carries while
Hunter Adleman added 18 yards
on six carries. Flynn, a senior,
in just his second game at quarterback this year, passed for 71
yards on eight of 15 attempts
with Storing snagging four of
those passes for 39 yards. Tyman
caught two for eight yards and
Colin Svee and Chandler James
each snared one.Adleman also returned six kickoffs for 91 yards.
The Mounders committed five
turnovers in the game including
three interceptions and two lost
fumbles.
After breezing through a three
set win over St. Croix Central
on their home court Oct. 7, the
Elk Mound volleyball team took
their unbeaten conference record
to Boyceville two days later and
kept their perfect record intact
with another three set win over
the Bulldogs. Elk Mound will host
the only other unbeaten team in
the conference, their neighbors
from Colfax, for the Dunn-St.
Croix Conference championship
Tues. Oct.14.
St. Croix Central
The Mounders were kept on
their toes by the Panthers in the
first two sets with Elk Mound
winning 25-18, 25-17 but it was
total domination in the third set
as they took a 25-6 win. Kill shots
were spread around with Morgan Polden leading the way with
nine, Elly Friberg, Lizzie Schreiber and Hannah Flatness all
had six and Serena Weiser added
four. Dayna Kotecki and Leia
Kufahl combined for 26 of the
30 Mounder assists in the match
while Wieser served up four aces
and Friberg three. Wieser led
in digs with 12 and Polden and
Rachel Caron contributed with
11 each. Flatness was a force at
the net defensively with five solo
blocks and Friberg added three of
her own.
Boyceville
The Bulldogs were no slouch
as they had only one loss in conference play which was handed
to them just two nights earlier
by Colfax. Boyceville was playing
without one of their leading attacker/defenders after four year
starter Abbey Bird was injured in
the Colfax game, forcing them to
make some adjustments. But the
Mounders were in control from
the start, winning the first two
sets 25-12, 25-10 with Friberg
getting the final kill both times.
The third set was a little closer
with the score knotted at 6-6 and
9-9 after a Flatness kill, then Elk
Mound went on a roll and pulled
ahead 20-16. Moriah Mauer put
down one of her three kills of the
night to make it 24-18 and match
point came on missed coverage at
the net by the Bulldogs.
It was Flatness’ turn to lead in
kills, finishing with eight for the
match while Friberg added seven
and Polden six. Kotecki set her
teammates up 14 times and Kufahl 13 times, Kotecki had a pair
of service aces and Wieser led
the team in digs with 12. Friberg
and Flatness did their imitation
of the Great Wall of China with
a combined 14 solo blocks, eight
by Friberg and six from Flatness.
WAIT SURPASSES 1,000 YARDS
Vikings continue to roll in win over Mondovi
Not only does the Colfax football team have one of their best
records in the past several years
at 6-1 after a 14-0 win over Mondovi last Friday night, they also
have a running back who has
joined the elite club of Colfax runningbacks who have rushed for
over 1,000 yards in a season. In
just seven games, senior Jeremiah Wait, who has been averaging
150 yards a game reached that
milestone in the second half of
the game played in Mondovi, finishing the night with 156 yards
on 28 carries and one touchdown.
Points were hard to come by
with turnovers playing a big part
in the game for both teams. After Mondovi attempted an onside
kick to start the game, Colfax
lineman Ben Christianson alertly
snared the ball off a high bounce
to give the Vikings the ball at
the 50 yard line. Running plays
by Wait, Andrew Adix and Aliymu Davis moved the ball to the
21 and with the Buffalo defense
playing the run, the Vikings took
to the air. Four incomplete passes
and a penalty brought the drive
to a halt however and Mondovi
took over.
“We noticed they were playing off of our receivers and we
thought we could catch them
off guard,” coach Mark Maloney
said. “But we had a dropped pass
and did not connect on the others.
We went back to what has been
working for us after that.”
After forcing Mondovi to punt,
Colfax moved the ball from their
own 41 to the Buffalo 34 but a
miscommunication on the handoff from quarterback Jarrod Rudi
to Wait resulted in a fumble with
Mondovi recovering it just before
the first quarter ended. Moving into the second stanza, Jacob Steinke sacked the Mondovi
quarterback on a third and six,
resulting in another punt.
The Vikings finally began to
assert themselves, taking the
ball at their own 35 and on 15
straight running plays in which
Rudi picked up a key first down
and Wait came up with two more,
Wait took the ball in from the two
foot line for the score. Rudi booted
the extra point for a 7-0 lead with
just over two minutes left in the
half. A first down sack by Sawyer
DeMoe and a third down stuff on
the Buffalo runner by Adix and
Trevor Olson forced Mondovi to
punt again and end the half.
The Buffaloes took the second half kickoff to their own 43
but they moved backwards after Logan Mittelstadt tackled

the quarterback for a loss then
combined with Jon Hayton for
another tackle and more loss of
yardage.The teams traded punts
over the next four minutes before
Mondovi fumbled on a first down
with Adix pouncing on it for the
Vikings. Wait, Adix, Davis and
Rudi all took a turn running with
Wait picking up his 1,000th yard
in the drive, and the game moved
into the final quarter with Colfax
still up just 7-0.
A Rudi run and three consecutive runs by Wait moved the ball
to the Buffalo six yard line, but
Rudi was hit and lost the ball
which was recovered by Mondovi.
But with 8:28 left, Davis stepped
in front of a Mondovi pass and
took it to the house for a pick six
and Rudi’s kick gave Colfax some
breathing room with a 14-0 lead.
The defense took over from
there as tackles by Ben Kragness, Zach Meyer, Hayton and
Steinke led up to a Wait interception, giving Colfax the ball back
at their own 40. Wait and Davis
shared the workload for the next
eight plays before Davis coughed
it up on the 22 to thwart another
Colfax drive with 2:32 to go. DeMoe came up with another QB
sack and on fourth and 16, Rudi
sealed the victory with an inter-
ception.
“Mondovi is the defending conference champion but they have
been struggling this year,” Maloney said. “But they have been
playing a lot better later in the
season so we couldn’t take them
lightly. We didn’t hang our heads
after the turnovers and just kept
playing our game. Jeremiah had
a tremendous game but he will
be the first to say his front line
(Kragness, Olson, Christianson,
Tyson Hellmann, Meyer, Demoe)
did a great job blocking for him
along with fullback Adix who
leads the way on most of his runs.
We moved the ball when we needed to and our defense came up big
like they have all year. We want
to finish strong against Boyceville Friday night and hopefully
have a good enough record to get
a home playoff game,” he added.
Besides Wait’s yardage, Rudi
rushed for 49 yards on 11 carries,
Davis ran for 45 yards on nine attempts and Adix added 14 yards
on five runs. Rudi was two for six
passing for just nine yards with
Davis and DeMoe both catching
one. Steinke ended the night with
four solo tackles and Meyer, DeMoe and Adix all had three.

to land a perfectly executed attack that won the Mounder’s second set

Is your worker’s comp claim really “closed”?
A worker’s comp claim can only be “closed” by a worker’s comp judge; either through
settlement or after a hearing. Many people had their claims paid but years later require
more treatment or have additional disability. They contact the insurer for help and are
told their case is “closed.” Unless you settled or lost your case at hearing, your case is not
“closed.” The worker’s comp statute of limitations is at least 12 years from the date of last
payment. If an insurer denied your additional claims or told you your case is “closed”, call
us. We’ll develop a plan to help you.

Government uses Ebola scare to
trample Americans’ freedoms
Submitted by the Citizens’
Council for Health Freedom
ST. PAUL, MN — For much of
the summer, the Ebola epidemic
seemed like a far-away problem
without much threat here at
home.
But now, a Liberian man who
flew to Texas to visit family has
been diagnosed with the deadly
disease, and fears have escalated.
The first instinct is to protect
Americans from the disease, but
in doing so, their personal freedoms and rights may be compromised, says Twila Brase, president and co-founder of Citizens’
Council for Health Freedom
(CCHF, www.cchfreedom.org), a
Minnesota-based national organization dedicated to preserving
patient-centered health care and
protecting patient and privacy
rights.
“While we want to do everything possible to control this disease,” Brase said, “it’s a violation
of Americans’ rights to require
them, for example, to submit
blood samples if they aren’t exhibiting any symptoms. States
have many hidden powers, and
most residents don’t even know
the power the government has
over them. These powers have
greatly impacted at least one
woman and her family in Dallas.
How could they impact the rest of
us?”
According to the New York
Times, the 42-year-old man who
flew to Texas had helped transport a pregnant woman with
Ebola to a hospital in Liberia,
where she was turned away. After traveling to the U.S., the man
sought treatment at a Texas hospital on September 25 when he
began feeling ill, but was given
antibiotics and sent home, even
though he told medical staff he
had recently visited West Africa.
He returned to the hospital a few
days later—much sicker.
Now, health officials are monitoring at least 50 people who
have come in direct or indirect
contact with the man. Four of
his close family members are being quarantined in their home
with a policeman on guard, with
no visitors allowed until October 19. Twelve to 18 others had
direct contact with the patient,
including five children; therefore,
students in Dallas-Fort Worth
schools are also being watched.
Everyone monitored thus far are
not showing any symptoms.
The state has the power to
quarantine and monitor these citizens because of the State Emergency Health Powers Act, proposed by the federal government
and passed by Texas in 2002.
After 9/11, 40 states passed the
act that allows health officials to
assume control of people, property, communications, health care
and more during a public health
emergency. CCHF has created a
special web page detailing states’
powers regarding health emergencies at governmenthealthpowers.us. The site outlines the
laws within each state, as well as
people’s rights regarding quarantine and isolation.
The woman being quarantined
has said she feels frustrated and
fearful about being locked in her
apartment with the sheets and
towels that the man had used.
He vomited, sweated and had
diarrhea while at her residence,
but until yesterday cleanup efforts were delayed because the
hired cleaning company did not
have the proper permits and was
turned away by authorities at the
door of the apartment. Ebola is
spread through bodily fluids.

Powers Act (MEHPA) was issued
just two months after 9/11 but
was in the works for three years.
“The U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services may
have been looking for a national
crisis to impose health powers on
Americans,” Brase said. “Our research has shown that a professor was paid $300,000 a year for
up to three years to create, among
other things, the model act—long
before the events of 9/11. It authorizes ‘the collection of data
and records, the control of property, the management of persons,
and access to communications.’
Beyond that, before the health
powers acts were enacted, most
if not every state had authority to enforce controls on people
with major infectious illnesses,
for example tuberculosis. States
already had authority to contain
serious diseases but the act was
a way for the federal government
to be a part of the controls.”
Powers of the act are extensive
and can include: required reporting of diagnoses, lab tests and
medications; enforcement by the
National Guard; quarantine for
the not-yet-sick, either at home
or at other facilities; isolation for
the infected or those suspected of
illness; examinations, tests, vaccinations and treatments without
consent; the possible confiscation
of guns, vehicles or property; the
power of police to use firearms to
impose quarantine and isolation;
and state control of hospitals and
medical supplies.
“If Ebola spreads, persuasion
and prudence will be the most effective government power,” Brase
said. “Americans respond well to
information and poorly to massive shows of government force,
as police have discovered in Ferguson, Missouri. In Liberia, we
saw photos of troops shooting
people who were fleeing quarantine because they had no food.
This is not the kind of ‘health
power’ we need.”
Several agencies have expressed concerns over the act,
including the ACLU, the Free
Congress Foundation, the American Legislative Exchange Council, the Human Rights Campaign
and the Health Privacy Project.
As the Ebola watch continues
in the U.S., Brase said that citizens should research what their
state government is empowered
to do under a “public health emergency” and talk to their state legislators about what the law could
mean to Americans’ freedoms,
rights and safety if Ebola spreads
to other states.

New Zoning Maps
Continued from page 1
voting because he had signed a
contract with a frac sand company.
When asked about the Town of
New Haven, Colson, the county’s
zoning administrator, said the
town board had declined to adopt
the new zoning code and is now
currently unzoned again.
Housing density
For the past several meetings,
the PRD committee has been
struggling with the issue of housing density and land division.
Committee members have settled on a housing density of 8:1 in
areas zoned General Agriculture.
The housing density of one
house for every eight acres allows a minimum lot size of one
acre and is intended to preserve
farmland and open space in Dunn
County.
For example, if a landowner
wanted to sell a 40-acre parcel
for housing development, a total
of five houses would be allowed
on the parcel. If the landowner
sold five one-acre lots for development, the other 35 acres would
have to remain as open space or
farmland.
Committee members also
struggled with transfer of development rights and eventually
agreed that a landowner should
be able to transfer development
rights between two contiguous
parcels owned by the same person.
For example, if a farmer owned
two 40-acre parcels next to each
other, and one of the 40 acres
was productive farmland but the
other 40 acres was wooded, the
farmer could transfer the development rights from the farmland
to the wooded acreage, so that instead of five houses on each parcel, the wooded parcel could contain ten houses. The 40 acres in
farmland would then have to remain as farmland or open space.
Amendment
In order to amend the county’s
zoning code to include housing
density and transfer of development rights, each of the 16 zoned
townships in Dunn County will
have to approve the amendments.
The procedure for amending
the zoning code includes filing a
petition with the PRD committee
and with the county board supervisors representing those particular townships.
The petition to amend the zoning code must also be filed with
the county clerk and the county
zoning administrator and must
be sent to the town boards no less
than ten days prior to a public
hearing on the amendment.
The town boards can approve
or reject the amendment prior to
the public hearing or at the public hearing.
County residents also will
have the opportunity to give their
opinions about the proposed zoning amendment at the public
hearing.
All together, the town boards
would have 30 days to approve or
reject the amendment.
The agenda for the Dunn
County Planning, Resources and
Development Committee’s October 14 meeting included a review
of the proposed amendments to
the zoning code.
The Dunn County Board could
take action on the proposed zoning amendments at a December
meeting.
The county board generally
does not meet in December, but
Bob Walter, chair of the PRD
committee, said it was a possible
a special meeting would be scheduled in December on another
matter.
If the county board does not
take action on the zoning amendments this year, the amendments
could be on the agenda for the
January meeting, he said.
Colfax public safety committee
recommends police department facelift
By LeAnn R. Ralph
COLFAX — The Colfax Police
Department will soon be receiving a facelift.
The Colfax Village Board’s
public safety committee approved
recommending that the village
board accept bids for drywall,
paint and new flooring for the police department at a cost not to
exceed $6,567 at the committee’s
October 6 meeting. No one currently employed by the village remembers the last time the police
department offices were painted
or new flooring was installed.
Colfax Police Chief Bill Anderson pointed out that electrical
work in the police department
would have to be completed before the painting and work on
the floor could be started. Police
Chief Anderson received one electrical bid from Abe’s Electric out
of Eau Claire in the amount of
$1,325 for new outlets in the police department or for $1,000 to
reuse and remount the electrical
strips currently in use.
Police Chief Anderson said
outlets would be more practical
and useful than the electrical
strips mounted along the wall.
The Colfax Police Department
does not have any outlets in the
back room, which is used as a
break room, and the refrigerator,
microwave oven and coffee pot
are all operated with extension
cords running from the front portion of the office, he said.
Public safety committee members asked about additional
electrical bids, and Police Chief
Anderson reported that Chris
Fogarty of Fogarty Electric out
of Colfax was planning to look at
the department’s electrical outlets the next day.
Police Chief Anderson said he
was hoping Fogarty would submit a bid for the job.
The Colfax Police Department
received two bids for painting
and patching the drywall.
One bid was from Richard Jenson of Artistic Drywall and Remodel out of Colfax in the amount
of $1,742. The other bid was from
Mark A. Hartman out of Bloomer
in the amount of $3,190.
The Colfax Public Safety committee approved recommending
the village board accept the bid in
the amount of $1,742 from Jenson. Village trustee and public
safety committee member Annie
Schieber abstained from voting
on the motion.
The public safety committee
also recommended the village
board accept a bid for flooring
from the Menomonie Flooring
Centre.
The bid for carpet tile and installation was in the amount of
$2,859.
The Menomonie Flooring bid
also included an additional $550
to tear out the old wood baseboards and install new vinyl
baseboards.
Police Chief Anderson said it
was possible he could tear out the
old baseboards and install the vinyl baseboards himself.
The public safety committee
recommended the village board
accept the flooring bid in an
amount not to exceed $3,500.
Since the recommended improvements to the police department amounted to about $6,500,
public safety committee members
wondered if there was enough
money in the budget to cover
those items.
Jackie Ponto, administratorclerk-treasurer, said the police
department had $2,000 in this
year’s budget for improvements
and the Colfax Municipal Building budget contained $10,000 for
improvements.
Police Chief Anderson also
said he would like to replace the
desks in the police department
and that he was watching the
UW-Stout auction site and another auction site for used furniture.
2015 budget
The public safety committee
reviewed the proposed 2015 budget for the Colfax Police Department in the amount of $206,671.
The largest increase was
about $20,000 for full-time police
department wages that included
state retirement. The increase
in wages was due to Police Chief
Anderson beginning employment
with the village last spring, Ponto said.
The village did not have to pay
state retirement for Pete Gehring
to work as the police chief after
he agreed to come out of retirement to work for Colfax again,
she said.
The 2014 police department
budget was $197,594.
The increase in salary for the
police chief is offset in the proposed 2015 budget by a $3,000
decrease in part-time wages, a
$1,500 decrease in retirement
benefits, a $3,000 decrease in insurance, and a $500 decrease in
technical supplies.

Wisconsinites drop off 17 tons of drugs during
National Prescription Drug “Take Back” Day
MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp today praised
Wisconsin residents for their participation in September’s National Prescription Drug “Take-Back”
Day, which resulted in 17 tons
(34,026 lbs) of unwanted, expired
or unused prescription drugs being dropped off at more than 175
collection sites statewide, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), which
coordinates the biannual “TakeBack” events nationwide. Nationwide totals haven’t yet been
released by the DEA.
“Estimates suggest 70 percent
of people who misuse prescription drugs get them from family
and friends,” Van Hollen said.
“We also know addiction to prescription drugs can lead to heroin
use, which is impacting Wisconsin significantly. New regulations announced recently by the
DEA will allow more locations,
such as pharmacies, to serve as
collection sites, and I am hopeful
that by permitting more locations
-- and more convenient options -for residents to properly and regularly dispose of their unwanted
meds, we’ll see less diversion,
misuse and abuse, and in turn,
fewer lives lost. I encourage everyone to help law enforcement
by getting rid of your unused
medications and educating your
loved ones about the risk.”
“I want to thank everyone who
participated in this very impor-
tant effort,” Cathy Stepp, Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources, said. “Dropping off
unused drugs for proper disposal,
rather than discarding them in
landfills or dumping them down
drains, is a great step toward protecting our natural resources, especially our drinking water and
groundwater.”
In addition to the many local
law enforcement agencies that
participate as drop-off sites for
residents, the Wisconsin State
Patrol,
Wisconsin
National
Guard and special agents with
the Department of Justice – Division of Criminal Investigation
(DCI) assist with “Take-Back” efforts.

7 smart reasons not to
enroll in Obamacare
ST. PAUL, MN — This past
year was the biggest test for the
Affordable Care Act. And Obamacare failed miserably on many
levels. From technological enrollment glitches to privacy concerns, Obamacare didn’t gain
many new fans in 2014. In fact,
the government health care plan
alienated more than it won over.
Twila Brase, president and cofounder of Citizens’ Council for
Health Freedom (CCHF, www.
cchfreedom.org), a Minnesotabased national organization dedicated to preserving patient-centered health care and protecting
patient and privacy rights, says
that as the next open enrollment
period approaches on November
15, the uninsured should think
twice—actually 7 times—about
enrolling in Obamacare.
“Obamacare is fraught with
problems,” Brase said, “and citizens have the choice to stay away
from this federal health care plan
in 2015. Experts in the health
care field were wary of Obamacare long before the rollout, and
this past year has proven them
right.”
Those who are currently uninsured or want to change their
plan can do so next month, when
the “marketplace” opens again
and remains open through February 15, 2015.
Brase gives the following 7
smart reasons not to enroll:
• Higher premiums — The
higher cost of coverage, due to
new taxes and mandates, is unaffordable for many, even with federal taxpayer-funded premium
subsidies.
• Limited choice of providers
— Many health plans offering
coverage through the few state
exchanges and the federal exchange at HealthCare.Gov have
cut the choices of doctors, clinics
and hospitals, creating “narrow
networks.”
• Limited choice of coverage
— Obamacare coverage options
are HMO-like managed care
plans offering federally approved
“qualified health plan” policies.
Catastrophic
major
medical
plans, or true insurance, have
been outlawed by Obamacare except for individuals age 29 and
younger.
• Privacy intrusions — The
federal
government
collects
data on individuals, employers
and navigators from application
forms, state databases, health
plans and other sources to track
and store data on household income, tax status, employment,
family status, health, citizenship,
insurance status, incarceration
and more. “Nothing is private,”
Brase says.
• No private insurance —
Obamacare, which requires application to the federal government, is “Medicaid for the middle
class” or, simply, a second-tier
Medicaid program.
• IRS enforcement and “clawbacks” — Most are unaware that
they may be subject to expensive
repayments to the IRS, or “clawbacks,” if their status changes
during the coverage year. Individuals must check in with the
government exchange if a patient’s financial or family status
changes. Meanwhile, the financial accountability system won’t
be ready until 2016. Can you
trust the IRS, accused of unfairly
targeting conservative organizations, with your finances?
• States and insurance companies are dumping Obamacare
— 39 states either declined to
set up state health care insurance exchanges in the first place
or started them and then backed
away because of various problems. Likewise, at least one insurance company has pulled out
of the government health care
plan. PreferredOne Health Insurance, the insurance company
with the most customers signed
up for Obamacare in Minnesota,
stated recently that continuing
into 2015 is “not sustainable.”
Brase predicts that other insurance companies will follow.
Brase says there are three
legal ways to avoid signing up
for government-run health care
coverage altogether, which puts
Americans’ private medical data
at risk, compromises care, ties
the hands of medical professionals and takes more money out of
Americans’ pockets.
• Buy private insurance outside of the government exchanges, such as a private policy, employer-sponsored coverage or a
private insurance exchange.
• Pay the penalty tax in 2016
for being without coverage in
2015. In 2015, the penalty tax increases to 2 percent of net income
or $325, whichever is greater—
still less expensive and less risky
than high government premiums.
• Claim one of the 9 Obamacare exemptions, or one of the
14 hardship waivers.

Operation Back to School Drive
The 6th Annual Operation Back-to-School Program has once again
been an outstanding success. We couldn’t do it without the support
from the community, so we want to thank everyone that contributed.
In Dunn County, over 417 children were signed up to receive school
supplies and 74 in the Glenwood City School district as well. The
children receive a new back pack as well as the majority of what is
listed on their schools’ supply list. In most cases this would include
notebooks, folders, loose leaf paper, 3-ring binders, pens, pencils,
colored pencils, markers, highlighters, erasers, crayons, school boxes, calculators, and rulers.
We would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to the following
businesses on behalf of West CAP and all of the children that were
helped:

Three projects that stood out
this year are the Fierce Freedom, the Mabel Tainter, and
Stepping Stones’ Project Share
a Meal’s requests. Fierce Freedom is able to use their funds to
educate students on the reality of
human trafficking in our county.
“According to the U.S. Department of State human trafficking
is the fastest growing crime on
the planet. Our goal is to educate
staff and students about the realities of human sex trafficking
in Dunn County,” stated Fierce
Freedom Executive Director
Jenny Almquist. Dunn County’s
close proximity to the Twin Cities and Interstate 90 has brought
human trafficking to our home
towns. Fierce Freedom aims to
educate youth of the dangers, as
well as the warning signs of human trafficking.
CFDC also supported the Mabel Tainter Center for the Arts
to fund a performance of Continental Ballet Company’s The
Nutcracker for local elementary
school children. According to Amy
Reise, “Some area schools have
recently faced budget cuts to arts
education. Tight budget restrictions have also made field trips
difficult for some area school.”
This performance will provide
a chance for approximately 250
local school children, who otherwise would not have access to the
arts, the experience seeing a live
ballet performance.
This year CFDC was also able
to assist Stepping Stones’ Share
a Meal program. The Share a
Meal (SAM) program provides
weekend meals in backpacks to
children at risk of hunger when
school meals are not available.
Nationally 1 in 5 children are at
risk for hunger. Stepping Stones’
Project SAM is working to alleviate child hunger. Every Friday
afternoon students who sign up
for the program receive a bag
at school full of enough food for
two breakfasts and two lunches.
Through this program children
are getting the nutrition they
need to maintain healthy lives
and perform better in school.
“It’s wonderful that the Community Foundation is able to
fund such a broad spectrum, from
basic needs, to art, to innovative
pilot programs” says Georgina
Tegart, Executive Director of
CFDC. Any nonprofits interested
in applying for the next grant
cycle can do so before the next
deadline of February 1st, 2015.

Colfax agrees to interview five
for administrator-clerk-treasurer
By LeAnn R. Ralph
COLFAX — Following a closed
session October 6, the Colfax Village Board approved interviewing five candidates for the administrator-clerk-treasurer position.
All together, the village received 12 applications. During
the closed session, the village
board and the personnel committee reviewed the applications and
assigned a ranking number in order of preference.
The Colfax Village Board
planned to interview candidates
for the position Thursday evening, October 9, and again Saturday morning, October 11 The
Dunn County Sheriff’s Office partners with 24-7
and West Wisconsin Telcom for Packer cards
DUNN COUNTY ­— The next
time you see a Dunn County
Sheriff ’s Deputy, you might just
be offered a Green Bay Packers Player trading card. Sheriff
Dennis Smith says the department recently partnered with
24-7 & West Wisconsin Telcom
and the Green Bay Packers to
offer Green Bay Packer Player
trading cards.
The special Green Bay Packer Player trading cards include
pictures of 20 different Packers
players and team management.
On the reverse side, the cards
have crime prevention tips and
helpful everyday suggestions for
young people. The football card
program is designed to make
it easier for young people to
become acquainted with deputies in a fun way. Though the
program is mainly intended for
school children, the cards are for
Packers fans of any age.
Deputies of the Dunn County
Sheriff ’s Office together with
24-7 & West Wisconsin Telcom
will distribute 1-2 trading cards
each week for the remainder of
the football season. If you see a
Dunn County Deputy on patrol,
please feel free to wave him/her
down and ask for the GB player
trading card of the week. If the
officer is not busy with a service
call, they can stop and give you
the featured card of the week.
Board also approved extending
Ponto’s employment until the
date that she actually leaves
town.
Ponto plans on moving to Florida and is expecting to close on a
house sometime during the week
of October 13.
The Colfax Village Board also
approved wages of $27.78 per
hour for Ponto to work remotely
by laptop computer after she
leaves Wisconsin in order to assist for two weeks when the village board has hired a new administrator-clerk-treasurer.
Colfax Village Board’s personnel committee includes all of the
village trustees. The personnel
committee is chaired by Village
Trustee Susan Olson, while the
village board is chaired by Village
President Scott Gunnufson.
Jackie Ponto, administratorclerk-treasurer, turned in her
resignation following the September 8 village board meeting
and indicated that her last day
of employment would be October
10.
Ponto began working for the
village in the summer of 2012.
Following the closed session
October 6, the Colfax Village
Town of Howard approves frac sand borehole ordinance
By LeAnn R. Ralph
TOWN OF HOWARD — Anyone prospecting for frac sand in
the Town of Howard will now be
required to obtain a license and
to properly close the boreholes.
Following a public hearing October 7, the Howard Town Board
approved a non-metallic mine exploration license ordinance.
Before prospectors can begin
boring for frac sand, they must
get a license, and they must tell
the Town of Howard when and
where they are planning to prospect, said Tom Zwiefelhofer, town
supervisor.
The exploration license ordinance applies to the drilling of
one of more boreholes to a depth
of ten feet or more.
The Town of Howard has received reports from area residents that frac sand prospectors
have opened boreholes and have
left them open.
The concern is that unsuspecting people, wildlife or livestock
could step in one of the holes and
break a leg or that the borehole
could allow contaminants to get
into the groundwater.
The Town of Howard also has
received reports that prospectors
have drilled boreholes on property where they did not have permission from the landowner to
look for frac sand.
The ordinance applies to nonmetallic minerals that include,
but are not limited to, stone, rock,
sand, gravel, asbestos, beryl, diamond, clay, coal, feldspar, peat
and talc.
The application for an exploration license is required to include
the name, address, telephone
number and e-mail address of
the operator of the mine exploration operation, and the name,
address, telephone number and
e-mail address of all owners or
lessors of the land on which the
exploration will occur.
In addition, the application
must include written proof that
the landowner has consented to
the exploration and has consented to inspections by the Town of
Howard.
The application must also include a certified survey map and
parcel identification numbers,
dates when the exploration will
start and when it will conclude,
the number of boreholes that will
be drilled and the fee established
by the Town of Howard to cover
the township’s administrative
costs.
The mine exploration licensing
ordinance includes requirements
that the operator must give the
Town of Howard ten days advance notice of when the boring
will start and 24 hours advance
notice of the filling of a borehole.
Any authorized officer, employee or representative of the
Town of Howard may inspect the
premises to determine compliance with the exploration license
ordinance.
All boreholes must be abandoned in accordance with Wisconsin
Administrative
Code
NR812.26(7) within three days
after work at the borehole has
concluded.
Within ten days after the
borehole has been properly abandoned, the prospector must file a
report with the Town of Howard
certifying that the boreholes have
been properly abandoned.
During the regular meeting
that followed the public hearing, the Howard Town Board approved the non-metallic mine exploration licensing ordinance and
appointed Eric Suvada, town constable, as the borehole inspector.
Fees
During the regular meeting,
the Howard Town Board also approved a license fee of $250 for
non-metallic mine exploration.
The inspection fee is $15 per
borehole.
The amount of the administrative fee will be determined in the
event that the Town of Howard
must hire an engineer or another
consultant, and the fee assessed
will cover the town’s costs.
The administrative fee will in-
the Sikoras said.
At the September meeting,
Howard Town Board members
agreed that the town’s attorney should work with the EOG
Resources attorney to obtain a
property value guarantee for the
Sikoras.
Zwiefelhofer reported that the
town’s attorney is working on the
issue with EOG Resources.
Sandy Sikora noted that she
wanted the property value guarantee to be based on the fair
market value prior to the mining
operation starting in the Town of
Howard.
At the September meeting,
town board members reported
that during the 14 months it took
to negotiate a mining agreement,
EOG Resources had submitted
a list of properties the company
would agree to include in the
property value guarantee and
would not consider adding any
other properties.
NRB petition
The Howard Town Board approved a resolution supporting
the petition to the Natural Resources Board asking for a strategic analysis of frac sand mining.
Midwest Environmental Advocates wrote the petition, and
along with signatures from area
residents, plans to submit the petition to the NRB in October or
November.
The Howard Town Board
meets next on November 11.
clude $20 per hour for Suvada to
cover the cost of the inspection.
Prospectors who drill a borehole with no license will face a
fine of $1,500 per hole.
The fees established by the
Howard Town Board include $500
per hole if the prospector fails to
properly abandon the boreholes.
Dachel property
The Howard Town Board has
received a letter from EOG Resources outlining the proposed
plan for the Edward Dachel property.
Dachel has alleged that blasting at the S&S mine across the
road from his property has damaged his home and other buildings.
The proposal includes an inspection of the Dachel house,
hiring an independent blasting
engineer, taking a seismograph
of the blasting, writing a report,
and submitting the report to the
town board.
Howard Town Board members
agreed to send a copy of the letter
to Dachel.
Sikora property
Town of Howard residents Dale
and Sandy Sikora contacted the
Howard Town Board last summer
to say they believed their property should be included in the property value guarantee for the EOG
Resources S&S mine.
Their property is closer to the
mine than some of the other properties included in the guarantee,
