and another $800-plus for required annual pump tests and follow-up fixes.
The cost of a new fire engine runs in
the range of $300,000, it was estimated.
Rinehart said when he asked his firefighters if they were interested in merging with another department, they were
overwhelmingly in favor of the idea.
Firefighters should not care which department they volunteer for, he noted.
Were not here because of the name
on the side of the vehicle, I hope, he
said. If you are, you should really reevaluate what youre doing.
Colby fire chief Ross Rannow said
about 20 years ago someone from another
part of Wisconsin was invited to discuss
consolidation of fire departments, but it
didnt go anywhere.
That lasted one meeting and that was
the end of it, he said. That meeting did
not have all of the positive input that this
meeting is having.
Rannow said firefighting is becoming
more and more expensive because departments are required to replace pricey
equipment in 10 or 20-year increments.
In addition to sharing these costs, Rannow said a combined department could
avoid all of the territorial battles and political bickering that comes from offering
competing contracts.

rate hikes
needed
By Kevin OBrien
The city of Colby will not need to borrow any money nor raise water rates to
pay for two wells, according to city officials responding to a recent article in the
Tribune-Phonograph.
At the Jan. 6 council meeting, mayor
Jim Schmidt and city clerk Connie Gurtner allayed the concerns of council members who had heard from residents asking about the possibility of rate hikes,
which was mentioned in a Dec. 24 article.
When the Wisconsin Public Service
Commission approved the citys two new

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A history of the cemetery
To the editor:
It is my understanding, based on the
questions I get from people I talk to in
the city of Colby, town of Colby and
town of Hull, that the history and workings of the Colby Memorial Cemetery
are not fully understood.
Here is a brief history:
In the late 1880s, the land on the
west side of Old County Hwy. N was
purchased jointly by the city of Colby,
town of Colby and town of Hull. In later
years this would be expanded by a purchase from Clark County.
In the 1920s, a cemetery association
was formed to manage and maintain
the Colby Memorial Cemetery. By the
1950s, the lots were running low, so
more land was purchased on the east
side of CTH N, of which about half of
the land as been currently plotted and
sold.
In the 100-plus years the cemetery
has been there, anytime additional
funds for the cemetery association
were needed, the three municipalities
would equally contribute money to the

Enjoying a
drama-free
postseason
The one nice thing about not having
your favorite NFL team in the playoffs is
that January is a lot less nerve-racking.
Its also a lot less exciting, but, hey, the
regular season provided more than
enough excitement for me this year.
The Minnesota Vikings had to break
in a brand-new quarterback while also
weathering the loss of their all-star
running back (again, good riddance as
far as Im concerned). The fact that the
Vikes avoided last
place in the NFC
UT FOR
North is a minor
miracle, but thats A WALK
how
professional
football seems to go.
As bad as your team
might have it, theres
always another team
(in this case, the
Chicago Bears) that
has it a little worse.
So, when my home
state team failed to
make the playoffs, I
BY
wasnt too surprised
or upset. Theres KEVIN OBRIEN
EDITOR
always next year is
the mantra of every
true Vikings fan, and until a meteor hits
Earth or the NFL moves to the United
Kingdom (a meteor is more likely) that
will always hold true.
My wife, on the other hand, is still in
the throes of playoff fever. In fact, shes
now in the advanced stages, as she and
thousands of other Cheeseheads sweat
out every second of the last few games.
Will Aaron Rodgers calve hold out?
Can the defense continue to prove
itself ?
Can the Packers really win in Seattle?
Was that really a catch last Sunday
during the Cowboys game?
All of these questions are simply
academic to me, something to ponder
and laugh about as I watch Linda squirm
and shout during games. I try to be a
good and supportive husband through it
all, but I cant resist a good jab or poke
when the games get tense.
Linda has already purchased Packerthemed paper plates and napkins for an
informal party at her parents place on
Sunday to watch the NFC championship
game. I have made my requiste joke:
Dont we already have enough toilet
paper? (referring to the green and gold
napkins, of course), and Linda has given
me her customary scowl.
Its all part of a back-and-forth banter
game that keeps my spirits up long
after my has team been eliminated
from Super Bowl contention. I do let my
foot off the gas pedal a little during the
playoffs, though, since I cant really do
any boasting about a team that finished
under 500.
And, I have to admit, I do enjoy
watching Linda get some much-needed
exhilaration during the coldest month
of the year. If neither of our teams had
made it to the playoffs, it would make for
some pretty boring football-watching.
At the same time, I dont know if I can
handle another Packers Super Bowl
appearance. If they win, Ill never hear
the end of it. And until my Vikes make it
there, my marriage will always be a little
lopsided during football season.

Motion to dismiss withdrawn in Follen case
A motion to the dismiss the charges
against former Abbotsford math teacher Andy Follen was withdrawn last
week prior to a motion hearing in Clark
County Circuit Court.
Follens attorney, John Strichert, had
filed the motion to dismiss Nov. 17, accusing district attorney Lyndsey Boon
Brunette of asking the DAs office in
Marathon County to file additional
charges against his client as retaliation
for exercising his right to discovery (the
right to review evidence collected by
the prosecutor).
Follen was initially charged in Clark
County with five counts of sexual assault of a student by a school staff
member after allegedly having sexual
further prosecution.
After the motion to dismiss was withdrawn, the defense attorney proceeded
with a Brady motion, which requires
the prosecution to share any evidence
that may be favorable to the defendant.
In his past motions, Strichert has
claimed the prosecution has evidence
from school district officials indicating
that one of the alleged victims recanted her accusations at one point. Boon
Brunette said her office does not have
exclusive control over some of the
evidence Strichert demanded.
At the Brady hearing Jan. 5, testimony was heard from the investigating police officer, Jason Bauer, who was questioned by both attorneys, according to

Several ordinances in need of revisions came to the attention of Dorchesters village board last week, as trustees
tackled the topics of heavy truck traffic
and off-road vehicles within village limits and alcohol licenses for special events.
Each of these issues was referred to
the boards committees for further discussion and possible action at a future
monthly meeting.
On the issue of truck traffic, the village
has developed a proposed ordinance that
would prohibit certain vehicles weighing over 6,000 pounds from operating on
any village streets that are not part of a
designated heavy traffic route.
However, the ordinance would not be
able to prevent heavier trucks from using
village streets to make deliveries to or
from any place of business or residence
or to transport agricultural supplies and
equipment.
Trustees and residents are particularly concerned about a truck driver on the
south end of the village who uses residential streets on a regular basis.
Resident John Staab worried about
what will happen to the villages roads
when they get softer in the spring and
are more prone to damage.
Whos going to fix the road? he asked.
Village clerk Brooke Ruge said the
board needs to approve a heavy truck
route before it can start enforcing the
ordinance. The issue was referred to the
villages public works committee.
Trustees also reviewed Ordinance 155,
which prohibits the operation of any
snowmobile, ATV or other off-highway
vehicle on village streets, alleys, parks
and public lands. The ordinance, adopted
in 1985, says violators can be fined up to
$100 for the first offense and up to $200 for
the second and each subsequent offense.
The ordinance does say these vehicles
may operate upon specifically designated marked trails, but Ruge said the
board needs to designate the route.
Once a route is established, vehicle operators would have to use the most direct
route to and from their property.
Police chief Gary Leichtman said the
ordinance is not regularly enforced, especially for those using an ATV or snowmobile to clear snow from their neighbors
properties. However, he said someone
could still be cited if they were involved
in an accident or other incident.
Were in a gray area when it comes to
liability, he told the board.

Ave.
TRUCK ROUTE - The villages proposed heavy truck route includes all of Center Ave (CTH A), all of Fourth Street (Hiline), South Linden Street, North Liberty
Street, North Front Street for a block to Washington Avenue, and South Front Street
to Second Avenue, which connects to Linden. All of Washington and North Fifth
Street are temporarily opened to truck traffic for Dorchester Days.
Trustees agreed to have the public
works committee review it further.
Its a matter of making the ordinance
match present practice and adding a few
guidelines, trustee Deb Koncel said.
Questions were also raised about the
villages ordinances governing the approval of alcohol license applications.
Chief Leichtman said a temporary
picnic license to sell beer was given to
the organizers of the Jan. 4 snowmobile
races, but according to Ordinance 153,
the full board should have approved it
first.
Ruge said when she started her job as
clerk last year, she was led to believe that
board approval was not required for picnic licenses. She noted that the alcohol license for Dorchester Days last year never
came before the board.
Ruge noted that Leichtman did do a
background check on the applicants before the license was issued.
Chief Leichtman questioned whether
the village was following its own ordinance and said licenses have been issued
in the past to people who were not supposed to have one.
I would think the board would need to
take a look at that, he said.
Village president Wayne Rau noted

A $2,547 invoice from Impact Coatings LLC was approved after the company owner explained how an unexpected
set of floor drains in the basement of Memorial Hall required extra gravel, sand
and epoxy to fill a hole. He said the problem had to be fixed while he was redoing
the flooring at the village-owned hall.
Public works director Dean Faude
said his crew has been doing a lot of
work on vehicles lately, and he also expected the villages new endloader to arrive by the end of the month.
Utility director Rick Golz said he is

OBITUARY POLICY
There are three options available for publication of obituaries.
Free: One is run free of charge as a public service. However, the Tribune-Phonograph and The Record-Review
reserve the right to edit obituaries for space, style and information. Typically this is limited to a basic biography, and immediate predeceased and surviving relatives brothers, sisters, children, parents, along with fiancs and significant others. It may also include the number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as
nieces and nephews. Obituaries may include a photograph free of charge.
Add-on: In order to be sensitive to the needs of families, the Tribune-Phonograph and The Record-Review
offer an add-on obituary option with which additional information may be included in a free obituary at a
greatly reduced rate from a paid obituary. For example, the listing of names of special friends, grandchildren
or in-laws preceded in death can be done as an add-on as well as additional biographical data. However, the
information will be written according to the Tribune-Phonograph and Record-Review style and, depending on
the amount of additional information requested, it may be edited for space or content.
Paid: This option is available to those who want particular or descriptive language, such as taken by the
angels, blowing off steam with Jesus or surrounded by his loving family, or an expanded amount of additional information. It is charged based on the size of the obituary. The content and style is determined by the
family.

Thursday night the Colby girls basketball team hosted the Marshfield Columbus Dons and came out with a 44-36 win.
The game was evenly matched during
the first period with Columbus outscoring Colby by only one point. The Hornets
had a strong second quarter, scoring 16
points against the Dons five. The score
was 24-14 at the half.
Columbus and Colby went head-tohead during the second half of the game.
Columbus managed to outscore Colby,
11-9, during the third period. Each team
scored another 11 points in the fourth
quarter. Unfortunately for the Dons,
because of the Hornets strong second
quarter, they were unable to close in on
Colby.
Samantha Hayes had her best game
of the season, earning herself a doubledouble. She finished off her game with
17 points, including three for three from
the free throw line, and pulled down 16 of
Colbys 38 rebounds. Hayes also obtained
all five of Colbys blocks and had two assists.
Jenna Jicinsky followed Hayes with
twelve points. She led the team with five
steals and pulled down six rebounds.
Haylee Geiger earned the Hornets ten
points, including two free throws and
two buckets from beyond the arch. Geiger had four assists, two steals and one
rebound.
Jordyn Halopka and Neilana Golz
chipped in with two points each. Kendra
Bellendorf followed with one.

The Hornet boys hosted the Thorp
Cardinals Monday night. Much like
Friday nights game against Spencer,
it was a tough game with many lead
changes. With one of their strongest
players, Tanner Gaetz, sitting on the
bench due to injury, the Hornets ended up losing the game by only seven
points, with a final score of 57-64.
Colby came out in the first quarter
strong on defense, holding the Cardinals to only ten points. Ty Raatz had
a big first quarter, earning the Hornets eight points, including two-three
pointers. Colby stayed strong in the
second period and went to the locker
room at the half with a 36-28 lead.
Despite their lead, Thorp came out
in the third quarter ready to take home
the win. Many drives to the basket and
careless fouls by Colby allowed Thorp
to earn 21 points against Colbys seven. The fourth period proved to be no
different as Thorps Jacob Rosemeyer
scored the Cardinals another 10 points
from underneath the hoop.

Merger
Continued from page 1
Abbotsford fire chief Jody Apfelbeck,
after returning from responding to a
semi fire on STH 29 said the idea of
consolidation was worth exploring.
If we can save people money, thats
great, he said.
Mark Renderman, chief of the OwenWithee-Curtiss Fire Department, said
his combined department saw savings in
equipment and maintenance costs while
also improving their insurance rating.
One of the biggest benefits was to the
taxpayer, he said. They saved on their
insurance.
Renderman said Abbotsford, Colby
and Dorchester firefighters already work
really well together and he encouraged
them to continue the merger talks.
Since the Abby Theatre fire in 2012, all
three departments have been training together and provide automatic mutual aid
for any structure fire in the area.
Rinehart made it clear that there were
no intentions of closing any of the three
fire halls down or getting rid of anyone.
All but one of the elected officials in
attendance spoke in favor of exploring
the merger idea, including the mayors of
Colby and Abbotsford, the village president of Dorchester and town board representatives from Holton and Mayville.
This is definitely a step in the right
direction, said Dorchester president
Wayne Rau.
Colby mayor Jim Schmidt and town
chairmen Richard Gumz, Holton, and
Ray Mulderink, Mayville, all mentioned
the possibility of eliminating duplicates
of expensive equipment as a way of saving limited tax dollars.
Marty Schwantes, a member of Abbotsfords city council, said the three fire
departments already work together a
lot and Abbotsford and Dorchester have
a shared ambulance service. An official
merger would not only save taxpayers
money, but also result in better emergency response services, he said.
It should be about serving the people
who call 911 and ask for help, he said.
Ald. Bob Gosse of Abbotsford, however, expressed concerns about combining
the departments when each of them has
EVERYONE IN THE SAME ROOM - Firefighters, EMTs and elected officials from Abbotsford, Colby and Dorchester
and the surrounding townships all gathered at Dorchesters fire hall Monday to talk about the possibility of consolidating fire and ambulance services in the area. Each person was given a chance to speak.

their own local responsibilities, such
as covering the intersection of two state
highways. He was open to the idea of
sharing equipment but questioned why
the departments should be consolidated
if they work fine now.
Youve got to come up with a costsaving plan to make sure its not going
to cost you more money to have these all
together, Gosse said.
Rinehart acknowledged that there
could be tough issues to work through.
Im not saying there isnt going to be
growing pains, he said.
Jeremy Totzke, a member of the Abbotsford EMT service, said he has no
problems with a merger and believes
a majority of the personnel gets along
well, but is worried about the current
leadership being able to work together.
Totzke said a new chief may need to be
brought in from the outside, and he also
emphasized the need for everyone to put
their hard feelings to rest after the recent
battle over jurisdictions.
Theres a lack of trust and a lack of
