Marathon approves stage remodeling bid

The Marathon Board of Education last week Wednesday approved
a $28,195 low base bid for a high
school stage remodeling project.
Board members said the project,
which will coincide with installation of new auditorium seating,
should be celebrated with a fine
arts concert.
Out of six bidders, the board
awarded the low bid to Scherrer

Construction, Wausau.
The project includes rebuilding
a stage extension and installing
two stairwells on either side of the
stage.
The project designer is David
Cihasky of Architectural Design
Group, Eau Claire.
Administrator Rick Parks said
new stage and seats would be installed over Christmas break. The
fate of the existing seats, which are
over 50 years old, was still being decided, he said. The seats may be donated to Helping Hands in Wausau,
a group that would use the seats at
the Mustard Seed Communities in
Jamaica.

THE RECORD-REVIEW
Opinion/Editorial
Take the high road
ow important is fairness?
This is a critical question as the Marathon County Infrastructure Committee considers whether to grant farmers
who use manure drag lines automatic exemptions to the countys
posted road weight regulations in the spring.
Dairy farmers empty manure pits each fall and spring. Typically,
farmers haul liquid manure in large, heavy tankers to fields. Some
dairy farmers, however, including the biggest producers, use new,
expensive technology to pump manure in plastic pipes to cropland.
From there, manure is injected into the ground at the same time
a field is chisel-plowed. Drag lines carry manure from the plastic
pipes to a manifold on a tractor.
County supervisor Arnie Schlei, town of Easton, likes this new
technology. He argues farmers who use drag line technology are
keeping millions of gallons of liquid manure off of public roads,
saving the blacktop or gravel from an annual beating. He says the
county, in gratitude, should allow farmers using manure drag lines
to travel with overweight tractors on spring posted roads a half dozen times or so both to inject the manure but also plant crops. You
could be a little lenient, he told committee members.
Science backs up Schleis proposal. County highway engineer
Kevin Lang told the committee that hauling 100,000 gallons of liquid manure in a 5,000 gallon wagon to a field would shorten the life
of a non-posted road by 46 ESAL (Equivalent Single Axle Loads).
By comparison, Lang calculated that allowing overweight drag line
tractor equipment on posted roads to inject the same amount of liquid manure would cause only 24 ESAL damage to the same road.
There is no question drag line technology is superior from a number of different angles. It saves roads. It allows nutrients to be incorporated in the soil, minimizing erosion and agricultural run-off
pollution. It cuts down on odor.
Yet does the county really want to give preference to one style of
farming over the next? In the competitive game of farming, does the
county really want to pick winners and losers?
Currently, the county has a policy of dairy diversity. This policy
says the county should not express any preference for either big or
small farmers, but, instead, embrace them all equally.
If the county Infrastructure Committee gives preferential treatment to drag line ag producers, it will, however, favor big farmers
over smaller ones. It is true, as supervisor Schlei argues, that all
farmers can hire out custom drag line operators. But, in truth, the
technology is expensive and pays off for only the largest dairy operations.
Picture what would happen if supervisor Schlei gets his way. It is
a sunny, warm spring day. The countys biggest dairies are planting
corn. Their overweight tractors rumble on posted county highways
by the farms of other, smaller operators who, because they lack drag
line equipment, are stuck, waiting to plant their corn. This advantages the bigger farm. The bigger farmers will enjoy two, maybe
three extra weeks when their crops will be able to mature over the
growing season.
We understand that tractors and manure tankers destroy roads.
And we know the county struggles to maintain its inventory of highways. Still, we think there is value to fairness. We think the county
has to support one standard spring posted road policy with minimal
exceptions.
Consider Mother Theresa and a bank robber driving down STH 29
both at 75 miles per hour, 10 miles over the speed limit. Do we want
the county sheriffs department to ignore Mother Theresas infraction, understanding that she is speeding for what is likely a good
purpose, and only give the bank robber a ticket? Or does justice require the same remedy in both cases of speeding?
There is plenty in agriculture that is not fair. The government
subsidizes this farmer for some practice, but not another farmer
for some other practice. And, to be truthful, lets acknowledge agriculture gets breaks on road limits the logging and gravel industries dont. Who can make sense of it? This said, we feel all farmers
should have equal access to something like a road, a basic public
service.
We are not saying the county should not support drag line technology. It should. The question is, however, whether the county should
carve out a permanent spring weight exemption for the countys
biggest farmers. We say the county should take the high road and
support spring weight limit rules that treat all farmers fairly.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Kohler
strike is for
all workers
To the Editor:
Today I stood in the strike line with
the Kohler workers in Sheboygan.
Their strike began because of a two
tiered system of pay for workers. The
newer workers in the lower tier make
far less than their seasoned counter
parts. Why argue if you are in the tier
that makes more? Because what they
are fighting for is the future American
worker. Shared prosperity.
As I stood in line, listening to their
stories, I realized just how much these
people are putting on the line and are
willing to sacrifice. These workers are
losing family time, livelihood and, most
of all, wages which will never be regained. Yet there they stand, on principle; standing for what they truly believe
in...the American worker.
These workers know the housing
market is rebounding and Kohlers
demands for products are increasing.
They stand with determination and
union pride at a time when corporate
America does not look favorably on
the worker and neither do many of our
elected officials.
The best part is that I saw a community with signs in their yards that state,
We stand with the Kohler workers. I
heard the words collective bargaining. With those words I truly hope they
find a win-win situation that will give
the worker a voice in the workplace
once again and move labor upward.
Lets take pride in the American workforce again.

Review on the need for a new county
A HANDS CARTOON
address system.
I remain unconvinced this costly
and unnecessary change is needed.
Will adding a digit to my current address or changing my road name make
it any easier to located a ping from
a cell phone tower? I dont think so.
The cost to municipalities is one thing
(new fire numbers and road signs), but
what about the cost in time and money
to individual citizens (new drivers license, checkbook and checks, updating
countless documents that represent all
bills and correspondence with the outside world).
I also find it interesting that cities
and villages in Marathon County will
be able to opt out of this mandate.
Once again, the rural folks of Marathon County take it on the chin.
In my occupation I often take phone
calls from people I do not personally
know in 14 rural municipalities in
western Marathon County and have
little, if any, difficulty distinguishing where they live. Call your county
board representative and let them
know your thoughts.

Walker rejects
$1 billion for
BadgerCare
To the Editor:
Wisconsins nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau (LFB) has released
updated projections outlining how the
State of Wisconsin could have saved
over $1 billion in taxpayer money over
six years by accepting available federal
dollars to expand Wisconsins BadgerCare program through the Affordable
Care Act. This is further proof of the
missed opportunity by Gov. Walker to
strengthen Wisconsins BadgerCare
program, a critical lifeline for many
in our state. At a time when Wisconsin
Republicans are making devastating
cuts to education and infrastructure,
Gov. Walkers fiscally irresponsible
path isnt the Wisconsin way, as he
likes to call it. Its the wrong way.

Managing my
expectations
for Star Wars
One of my earliest but foggiest childhood memories is of seeing Jabba the
Hutt on a big movie screen. I was only
three years old when Return of the
Jedi was first released in theaters,
but that image of a fat, grotesque slug
sitting in a darkened throne room has
stuck with me for over 30 years.
My parents tell me that E.T was
the first movie they brought me to see
in the theater, which means I would
have only been
two years old for
UT FOR
my inaugural silver screen experience. Im basing A WALK
this timeline on
the official release dates listed
for those two
movies, 1982 and
1983. This makes
me wonder if my
parents and I are
remembering my
childhood accurately or if I was
just an exceptionally patient and
BY
young child who
K
EVIN
OB
RIEN
could be trusted
E
DITOR
to sit through a
two-hour feature
film. Theres also
the possibility that I saw these movies
in second-run theaters, which means I
could have been as old as four or five at
the time.
Anyway, the reason for this rambling journey down memory lane is,
of course, the release of a new Star
Wars movie tomorrow. As a lifelong
fanboy, I will be there in the theater,
waiting for my hair to stand on end
as the famous opening crawl scrolls
down the screen. I may even see it twice
in the theater, just because Im that
much of geek.
But, as I mentioned earlier in this column, memory is a powerful thing no
matter how flawed or inaccurate. When
the prequels to the original Star
Wars trilogy were released 10 years
ago, other fans and I often felt let down
by certain characters (Jar Jar Binks)
and actors (Hayden Christensen), who
we felt ruined our sacred space saga.
The truth is, though, those prequels
could never have lived up to the expectations we had in our collective minds.
My generation of fans grew up watching and rewatching Stars Wars on
home video and bought all the action
figures our parents could afford. The
original trilogy had plenty of subpar
actors (Mark Hamil as Luke Skywalker) and silly, cartoon characters (the
Ewoks), but through the awestruck
eyes of a kid, those things are hardly
noticeable. When you add on 10, 20 or 30
years of time, nostalgia takes over and
puts the originals on a pedestal that
no follow-up could ever reach.
That said, Im still very excited to see
the original cast back in action, with a
new storyline to explore and overanalyze for years to come. As a 36-year-old
man, its impossible to completely recapture the wonder of seeing people
fighting each other with lightsabers
for the first time, or attacking a giant
Death Star in outer space, but just getting a taste of it is well worth the price
of a ticket. Oh, and some popcorn and
soda.

Everywhere I go
I find a pal
Peter Weinschenk, Editor, The Record-Review
I am lucky.
I get more Christmas than just about anybody.
To date, I have attended and snapped pictures at six Christmas concerts this season.
I have one to go.
I have showed up for Santa Claus three
times and once for St. Nicholas.
You might ask if this is too much.
Its a good question, but the answer is you
really cant have too much Christmas. The
children, I think, make it special.
I am endlessly fascinated when a child
crawls up on the knee of Santa Claus, looks
into the old gents spectacles and, with a
little prompting by mom or dad, blurts out
his or her secret gift wish. A truck. A doll.
A video game.
There are some children who burst into
tears.
This is, actually, the sensible thing to do.
It makes no sense to stand in line for half
an eternity and talk to a large bearded man
dressed in a big red suit about anything.
There is often an elf with pointy ears
standing near. Its hard to feel comfortable
around an elf. They are a little shifty.
Yet, the children are brave. Not only do
they talk to Santa, they reveal their deepest
wishes. They open up their hearts, if only
briefly. They take the bag of goodies from
the elf. Now, thats true courage.
The children are brave at their Christmas concerts, too.
The children march up on those risers
in their little suits and fancy, sequined
dresses and sing their hearts out. A small

sea of parents sit in the darkness listening
for every mistake. The children, however,
rise above it all. They shine like Christmas
candles.
After a while, you get to be a connoisseur
of Christmas concerts.
For my tastes, I am a 4K kind of guy.
The great thing about the four-year-old
kindergarten crew is how they are able to
sing, dance and play simple instruments
while blissfully detached from reality.
The four-year-olds climb on a stage and,
while any of us would face the audience
with white-knuckled terror, they look
around, exploring this new environment.
The youngsters wander with wonder. Its
great.
The four-year-olds are natural Christmas
concert performers. They have very thin
filters. Put a little elf hat on a child, put
him or her on a stage, and, after a chorus
or two of singing, you can see down to the
very bottom of that childs heart. This is a
great gift we get from the children. It never
gets old.
We have nine days to Christmas. Life is
pretty much a blur. There are presents to
buy, trees to decorate, lights to hang up,
cookies to bake, wreaths to assemble and
family feasts to prepare for. It can be so hectic, so overwhelming.
My advice? Just consider it all a gift.
I will attend my seventh holiday concert
next Monday. I can barely wait. You can
never get enough Christmas.

School requests closed street

North Third
would be used
for parking,
green space
Stratford School District administor Scott Winch last week Tuesday told
the Stratford Village Board it should
close off a section of North Third Ave.
between the districts high school and
elementary school to accomodate additional school green space and parking.
The village board took no action
except to direct village clerk June
Krueger to research the proposal. The
village public works committee will
discuss the matter at its Tuesday, Dec.
29, meeting.
Winch said street space is needed
for a childrens play area and parking,
but also safety. He said he is concerned
about the safety of students walking
back and forth on the street between
the elementary school and high school.
Krueger said the school district last
requested the village close off the 500
block of North Third Avenue in the
late 1990s, but the village board decided to turn down the request after village residents signed a petition against
the measure.
In other village board business:
Three downtown Stratford business owners attended the village board
meeting to voice their concerns over
how customers will access their stores
during the extensive street construction and utility project to begin next
spring.
The village will start accepting bids
for the $1.4 million street project in
March, award the contract in April and
construction will take place between
May and September.
The project entails replacing all utilities such as water mains, sanitary and
storm sewer on portions of North Second and Third Avenues. Utilities will
be replaced on Third Avenue from STH
153 to Larch Street and on Second Avenue from STH 153 to Elm Street.
Stratford

Proposed closure of 500 block of North Third Avenue

Utilities will also be replaced underneath a portion of Elm Street between
North Second and Third Avenues, and
then another portion of Elm Street
from North Fifth Avenue to the dead
end.
The project will be partly financed
by a $500,000 Community Development
Block Grant from the state of Wisconsin.
Members of the village board assured
the business owners in attendance the
village and contractor who is awarded
the contract bid will do the best they
can to keep access open to businesses
affected by the project, and with minimal utility service interruptions. The
village will notify businesses affected
by the project of a meeting to be scheduled in February to review the project
timeline and to work through any potential access issues or temporary utility outages.
The village board decided to have
village clerk serve Randy Cliver, owner
of the Time Out building, a 30-day raze
notice to demolish the burned building.
The village board accepted the resignation of police chief Korey Schillinger Dec. 31, and appointed police of-
ficer Eric Colby as the interim chief of

police Jan. 1.
Schillinger reported that Bill Dahlke
would like the village to consider Balsam Road and Balsam Street as access
points for all-terrain riders to connect
the village with the towns of Cleveland
and Eau Pleine. The village board told
Krueger to place this item on the January regular meeting board agenda for
further discussion.
The village board discussed the
Wisconsin Department of Transportations requirements to convert the
driveway at the former Porysiak property into a public roadway from STH
153 into the Stratford Business/Industrial Park. Abby Bernhagen from MSA
Professional Services informed the
village board that MSAs traffic and
storm water team studied the requirements for making this a road, which
would include a drainage study. She
estimated the cost for MSAs services
to be approximately $4,000. The village
board approved to have MSA move forward with the engineering and planning required for the project.
Christmas program
Marathon High School vocal instructor Brock Kuklinski directs the high school concert choir in a performance of Carol of the Bells
during Sunday afternoons performance in the school auditorium. Middle school students also performed at the concert.
The Stratford School District

will make an offer to purchase
the Becher family property north
of the high school so the school
can replace a field utilized for
football practice and physical education classes should a possible
spring building addition referendum pass.
Members of the Stratford
School District Board met Monday in closed session to discuss
purchasing the property, located
at 407 East North Street, with
Miron project manager Lee Spindler and then reconvened into
open session to make their decision to offer to buy the land from
the Becher family for $100,000
with some contingencies.
Those contingencies associated
with the property sale are the soil
on the land be tested, verification
there are no easements on the
property and termination of the
lease for residents currently renting the house on the property.
Stratford superintendent Scott
Winch said the school district
plans to purchase the Becher
family property, which is near
the school tennis courts, regardless of whether a possible school
referendum addition is approved
in spring. This land would be just
north of where a proposed parking lot would be built behind an
auditorium and field house addition onto the high school.
The school district has a 90-day
deadline to close the sale on the
Becher family property, unless
a deal can be worked out beforehand.
After this weeks school referendum listening session, the
school board plans to discuss a
resolution on a building addition
and renovation plan during its
regular board meeting at 6 p.m.
Monday, Jan. 11, and also during
a special board meeting at 6 p.m.
Monday, Jan. 18.
The school board would need to
approve a building and renovation plan with a maximum total
cost at its Jan. 18 meeting to meet
the Jan. 23 deadline for having a
referendum in April.
The Wisconsin State Assembly
Education Committee will hold a
public hearing at 9:30 a.m. Thursday on Assembly Bill 481, that
would limit school districts to
only having referendums during
election times of the year. The
bill would also make school districts wait two years to have another referendum after one fails.

THINK KINDNESS
CAN YOU SPELL KINDNESS?-Edgar High School and Middle School students and staff members gather Monday to celebrate collection of 2,440 pairs of shoes as
part of a Think Kindness drive to benefit young people at the Tumaini Orphanage in Kenya. The shoes will allow students there to attend school. Edgar took second place
in a competition with Stratford High School.

rent year. Garbage collection will cost
the village $42,000 in 2016, a $3,000 decrease. Recycling, budgeted at $16,540,
will also enjoy a near $3,000 decrease
from the current year.
Village administrator Louella Luedtke told trustees that the village total
tax rate in 2015-16 would be $19.91 after
the school tax credit, an increase of 91
cents. She said the owner of a $100,000
house in the village will see a property
tax increase of $91.38.
The villages total tax liability is
$1,401,145, she said, an increase of
$75,072 over the current year. She
said the lions share of next years
tax increase was due to Edgar School
District. The villages share of local school taxes will increase from
$664,813 to $724,499. Marathon County
taxes paid by the village will increase
from $664,813 to $724,499. Taxes paid to
Northcentral Technical College will increase from $76,191 to $83,196.
In other village board business:
Trustee Randy Werner told board
members the village needs to rewrite

its ordinances to allow residents to
legally drive lawnmowers and snowblowers on village streets.
Werner pointed out the section of
village law that forbids use of a motor-driven craft or vehicle principally
manufactured for off-highway on the
village streets, alleys, parks, sidewalks,
bikeways, parking lots or on any public
lands or private lands or parking lots
held open to the public.
Werner said people who either cut
grass or blow snow at different addresses around the village should not
have to trailer their machines. He said
enforcing the ordinance amounted to
a hitch and trailer tax on people who
are trying to help out others.
Board members agreed to send Werners issue to the Building, License,
Safety and Zoning Committee for discussion and review. Trustee Vicki
Maurer said something needed to be
done to modify the village ordinance.
We have to get together and make
some decisions, she said.

It was announced the village caucus will be held Monday, Jan. 11, 2016,
at 7 p.m. Trustees up for re-election are
Paul Schilling, Cathy Schueller and
Craig Van Der Leest.
Board members agreed to purchase a used Ford 450 one-ton dump
truck.
Trustees approved this years
health insurance plan. Administrator
Luedtke said only one employee, Bill
Tess, was taking the villages insurance. The village consequently is saving money, she said. Under village policy, employees pay 15 percent of their
insurance premiums.
The board agreed to have Cornerstone Information Technology,
Wausau, monitor the Edgar Police
Department server and two computers for $375 a month. Police Chief Jeanette Stankowski said the service was
needed following a computer system
crash earlier in the year.
Board members agreed to send in

this years tax bills an Edgar Planning
Commission public opinion survey.
Reponses to the survey will be used as
part of the villages updated comprehensive plan.
Board members agreed to grant
public works coordinator Doug Brehm
a wage increase following a threemonth review. He is now at 90 percent
of his target salary. Brehm will be able
to make a full salary after a six-month
job performance review.
Board members contracted with
Krause, Howard and Co. to perform a

Second
d Week of Deer Camp 2015
Kountry Kids 4-H
Hello friends,
The gist of our deer camp consists of five men that are between 53 and 63, who have or
are raising several kids. Those boys and one girl, who number 13, bring a few of their friends to
camp with the vast majority being in their 20s.
My father, the late Robert Walters, who camped and hunted deer while attending UW-Madison, created our deer camp.
Though we truly do hunt hard, what
I have learned in listening to readers
of this column for the last 26 years, is
people like reading about our camp life
just as much they like reading about the
hunting.
Friday, November 27
High 42, low 27
The population of the Red Brush
Gangs camp is between 18 and 25 on
the second weekend of the gun deer
season. Our hunting is done strictly by
doing drives and a knowledge of the
land is a must. In other words, we push
square mile sections, with maybe eight
drivers and about 12 standers. The stand- Twenty members of the Red Brush Gang after camp
has been broke for the year!
ers cover what we feel are the best escape
points for the deer we are pushing.
Back in the first ten years of this century we were training the bulk of these kids how to work
a compass, stay in line (the vast majority of the time we cannot see each other), to cover every
bit of your territory and how to cross deep water
with hip boots or walk on shaky ice.
Safety was always of utmost concern and, in
reality, I was the jerk giving orders and lecturing
kids for getting ahead of the other drivers or skipping potential deer hiding spots. To be perfectly
honest, I hated the job and the other adults kind
of knew it. If you are not teaching, something can
or is going to go wrong when you are dealing
with 7-16 kids carrying rifles.
Fast forward to today. My nephew Riley Schuster is 27! I told him to take charge of the first
drive and it went flawless. My form of training
was tough love, no one was shot and now the
kids can take charge.
When the kids were in training, we killed lots
of deer, generally two to four a day and they really
added up by the end of the week. These days we
have a well tuned military unit and an over abundance of grey wolf has decimated much of the
northern half of Wisconsins deer herd.
There is a lot of activity in the shack before

We dont talk about it but today is a sad day,
it is our last full day and night at camp. Last
night was the Friday Night Party and it was a
humdinger. Since Jeff Moll had killed a monster
3-pointer he felt compelled to wrestle with the
20-something year-olds. When Jeff gets crazy
and he does, I keep a watchful eye on things to
make sure not too many injuries occur.
So there are 22 of us. We have an excellent
plan for our hunting day and after many miles of
hard pushing, half ice breaking and major sweating, two deer were seen and 16-year-old Derek
Cibulka made his first kill as a Red Brush hunter
on a mature doe.
Tonight visitors from far and wide came to our
Saturday Night Party. A movie better than most A couple members of the Red Brush Gang
at the theatre could have been made.
on a night hunt.
One of the guys started chanting he wanted to
wrestle as we stood by the fire. That boy is considerably heavier than me. I was body slammed hard, new injuries occurred and old injuries
resurfaced. As we hit the ground Jeff Moll told me to kill him. I recovered and put a can of
whoopass on him!
Bury me at deer camp! Sunset

THE ORTHODONTIST
Q. What is an orthodontist?
A. An orthodontist is a dentist who specializes in techniques used for
straightening teeth. This generally involves the use of braces, bands, wires
and elastic bands to straighten teeth and correct misaligned bites, a condition called malocclusion. The word orthodontist comes from the Greek
orthos, for straight, or correct, and dontia, for teeth.
Like any dental specialist, an orthodontist has completed the same education and internship that all dentists complete. The aspiring orthodontist
then has to be accepted into an orthodontics program that generally will
involve another two to three years of education and training. They learn
about tooth movement and about facial development, an area referred to
as dentofacial orthopedics. They are trained to diagnose and treat dental
and facial irregularities. They also are trained in the use of appliances and
techniques that move teeth into positions that not only make them look
better, but make them healthier and more efficient.
So the goal of straightening teeth is not all cosmetic: misaligned teeth
can be difficult to clean, leading to decay. A misaligned bite can damage
teeth through clenching and grinding. Orthodontists, like most dental specialists, limit their practice only to orthodontistry. Talk with your dentist for
more information on dental specialties.

TIGERS
Marathon cruises past Edgar

Wildcats remain
atop the North
By Bryan Wegter
The Star News
An early-season girls basketball
showdown between the respective
leaders of the Marawood conference
went in favor of the South.
Marathon got double-digit points
from four players and eased to a 73-48
win over Edgar in a non-conference
battle at Edgar High School on Monday.
We knew Edgar is very aggressive
defensively and on the glass, therefore we needed to win the boards and
take care of the ball, Marathon head
coach Jeff Schneider said.
The Red Raiders (5-1, 2-0 South) are
tied atop the Marawood South. Edgar
(4-3, 2-0 North) is tied for the North
lead. Dating back to Jan. 22, 2013, Marathon has won the last 10 meetings between the two rivals.
Marathon is a good team in all aspects of the game. The girls battled
hard. Playing a team of this caliber
gives us an opportunity to review film
as a team and point out some of our
deficiencies and push forward to improve our game, Edgar head coach
Betty Urmanski said.
Marathon held a 40-23 lead at halftime, led by Morgan Rachus 13 and
Olivia Meurettes 12. Julia Anderson
scored nine of her 11 points in the first
half.
It is a joy to watch Morgans individual efforts on defending a very
good player in Tianna Borchardt. She
drives us and is a big source of our
team energy. Julia played very well,
she was always poised and attacking
with straight-line drives to the rim.
Olivia showed her scoring abilities
near the basket and shooting from the
perimeter, Schneider said.
CONCENTRATION-Edgars Tianna Borchardt shoots a free throw during Fridays Marawood North girls basketball game.
STAFF PHOTO/BRYAN WEGTER
Edgar was outscored 33-25 in the second half. Natasha Hanke led the way
for the visitors with 10 points. She finished with 12 overall. Meurette added
four second-half points to bring her
total to a team-leading 16. The Raiders
shot .485 (32-66) from the field, compared to .313 (16-51) for the Wildcats.
Borchardt scored a game-high 20 for
the Wildcats and grabbed six boards.
She made two three-pointers and was
six of 15 from the field. Dana Heidmann scored seven and Macey Wirkus
chipped in six.
Edgar returns to league play at
Chequamegon on Thursday, Dec. 17.
They host Phillips in another North
game next Tuesday. Both games have

7:15 p.m. starts.
Marathon also plays on Thursday.
They host South opponent Northland
Lutheran at 7:15 p.m. Next Monday,
Dec. 21, the Raiders travel to Newman
Catholic for another conference game
at 7:15 p.m.
Edgar beats Rib Lake
Borchardts fast start gave Edgar

early-game momentum and the Wildcats picked up a 52-39 win over Rib
Lake in a Marawood North game on
Friday at Edgar High School.
The Edgar senior scored 10 points
in the first four minutes, helping the
Wildcats build a 14-3 lead. The Redmens only basket over that stretch
was a Hailey Wudi three on the games
second possession, briefly giving the
visitors a one-point lead, their only
advantage of the night.
The Wildcats improved to 2-0 in the
North. Theyre tied with also 2-0 Abbotsford atop the conference. Rib Lake
fell to 1-2 in league play.
(Winning the conference) was one
of our team goals this year. Were
small so were trying to use more ball
pressure in the back court for other
teams and create some errant passes.
We were transitioning and scoring off
those, Urmanski said.
Led by the speedy Wirkus and more
scoring from Borchardt, Edgar built
a 32-15 lead in the first half. The 5-6
Wirkus got three steals and turned
them all into easy layups. Borchardt
scored six to bring her first half total
to 16 points. Edgar went up 32-11 before the Redmen scored the last four
points of the first.
Edgars full-court pressure made
things difficult for Rib Lake. The Wildcats totaled 24 steals as a team, led by
Wirkus nine. Borchardt swiped six
and Kamryn Butt, Lindsey Schneeberger and Courtney Mueller had two
each.
The Wildcats held the Redmen to a
season-low 33 field goal attempts. Edgar was 23 of 63 (.365) from the field,
led by a seven-for-seven effort from
Wirkus, who finished with 14 points.
The junior led the Wildcats with eight
rebounds and four assists.
Rib Lake used the three-ball to spur
a second half run and outscored Edgar
24-20. Jasmine Fitzl made two threes
and Casey Scheithauer and Wudi had
one each in the second half.
With the Wildcats up 40-30 with just
under eight minutes to go, Borchardt
made a three. She led all scorers with
21 points on eight of 19 shooting.
Schneeberger scored six, Heidmann
had five and Mueller had four. Katie
Cardey led the Redmen with 11 points.
Stratford suffers its first defeat

Au bu r n dale remains
the Stratford
girls basketball
teams
nemesis, after the Tigers
loss to the Apaches last Friday.
Both teams started the
game flat, but the Apaches
persevered in a 38-30 win
against the Tigers in a battle
of unbeatens in the Marawood South Conference in
Tim Anderson gym.
No Stratford player scored
in double figures as the Tigers
shot a dismal 27 percent from

the floor. Stratford also committed 24 turnovers, a problem coach Tammie Christopherson said her team needed
to solve.
We need to continue working on not turning the ball
over and consistently score on
offense, she said. We played
an excellent defensive game,
however we only scored 30
points and that will not beat
good teams.
Stratford recovered from
the defeat to easily beat Rib
Lake, 44-19, in a nonconference home game on Tuesday.
The Tigers built a comfortable 20-9 lead after the first

period, and then held on for
the big win to improve to 6-1
overall.
Junior guard Sammy Griesbach poured in a game-high
15 points for Stratford, who
next plays at 5:45 p.m. Monday
at home against Marawood
South foe Wisconsin Rapids
Assumption, which is another team the Tigers have had
trouble beating in the past.
The Stratford boys basketball team will play Assumption in the second game of
the doubleheader against the
Royals at 7:15 p.m.
Bluejays are upended
The Athens girls basketball

team is still seeking its second
victory of the season, after
the Bluejays 69-54 Marawood
North Conference loss to Phillips at home last Friday.
Gabrielle Yanke scored a
team-high 18 points for Athens, while Emily Frick and
Kenadi Diedrich contributed
15 points apiece.
The Bluejays return to action Thursday at Marawood
North foe Abbotsford.

Stratford coach Joe Schwabe was
pleased with how his wrestlers fared.
The kids wrestled really well,
he said. They battled to not give up
points and kept trying to score at the
end of periods. We seem to be fairly
conditioned at this point but we need
to continue to increase that level as
the season progresses. I was quite
pleased how each team member
worked to do their best to help score
bonus points for the team.

Tyler Engel led the Wildcats with
13 points while Hafferman chipped
in 10.
Edgar coach David Huss was
pleased with his teams play in
the nonconference win against the
Blackhawks.
Overall the game on Friday went
well, he said. I thought we were
very good defensively, especially
on Josiah Goerlitz. Offensively, I
thought we shared the ball well and

took good shots. The season is off
to a good start and we need to continue to focus on improving each
and every day.
Red Raiders are winners
Marathon earned a hard-fought

53-46 nonconference home win
against Spencer Monday.
Senior Preston Wirkus led Marathon with 14 points. Senior Xavier
Lechleitner chipped in 12 points, 10

A weekly perspective
on sports
All I want for Christmas is for my
high school sports teams to beat Auburndale.
Its bad enough that my wife, who
is a native of Auburndale, will remind me how her Apaches beat my
Marathon boys basketball teams in
regional play when we were in high
school.
Now, nearly 20 years later, I am still
dealing with Auburndales basketball teams beating the teams I cover
for The Record-Review.
It was painful to watch the Marathon boys basketball team suffer its
only loss of the season to Auburndale in the regional championship.
I couldnt bare to watch the Apaches in the Division 4 state semifinal
game, knowing that could have been
Marathon instead.
Marathons only loss during their
state championship season a few
years back was also to Auburndale
during conference play, but at least
the Red Raiders beat Oostburg and
Grantsburg at state to capture the
title.
Last Friday Auburndale came
back to haunt me again as the Stratford girls basketball team suffered
its first defeat of the season to the
Apaches. Auburndale also beat Strat-
Lambeau leap
Athens boy
retrieves tee
Not very many people have the
opportunity to walk onto historic
Lambeau Field in their lifetime, yet
12-year-old Kody Lepak of Athens
did so during last Sundays Green
Bay Packers 28-7 win against the
Dallas Cowboys.
Lepaks grandmother, Sharon
Westfall of Athens, entered his
name into a drawing on Shopkos
website. Lepak found out Nov. 17
hed won the contest, and he would
be on the Packers sideline against
the Cowboys to retrieve the tee after the opening kickoff. His family also received free tickets to the
game.
It was like an early birthday
present for him, Westfall said of
Lepak, who turned 12 years old
Tuesday.
He attended the Packers game

with his parents, Jason and Tracy
Lepak, and his two sisters, Alexis
and McKenna.
A Packers security guard escorted Kody Lepak, a sixth grader at St.
Anthonys Catholic School in Athens, down to the Green Bay sideline.
Packers wide receiver James Jones
tapped Lepak on the back when he
arrived on the sideline.
The security guard told Lepak
that he could go onto the field and
retrieve the tee after the opening
kickoff, while his family watched
from their seats just below the
booth where Fox television game
announcers Troy Aikman and Joe
Buck stood.
It was a really cool experience,
Lepak said about getting to walk on
Lambeau Field. I was so nervous
walking out there.
He plays middle school football,
basketball and baseball in Athens.
His favorite Packers player is wide
receiver Randall Cobb.
ford in regionals last season, ending

the Tigers season.
Therefore, my Christmas wish list
consists of having the Stratford girls
basketball team beat Auburndale the
next time they play and also in the
playoffs if they meet each other.
I also want the rest of my RecordReview teams to beat Auburndale.
The Stratford boys basketball team
did beat the Apaches on the road
Tuesday night, which brought a
smile to my face.
Also on my Christmas wish list is
for the Edgar girls and boys basketball teams to win Marawood North
Conference championships this season, after finishing in second place
last year.
My other Christmas wishes are for
the Stratford wrestling team to beat
Coleman in sectionals this season
and qualify for the state team championships. The Tigers fell to the Cougars in the sectional championship
last year, and in the semifinals two
years ago.
I also wish for the Athens wrestling
team to continue having success this
season, due to the tradition of great
Bluejays wrestling teams going back
to the 1980s and 90s.

Lang said the countys southeast
section has the best soils and could
have its spring weight limits lifted
earlier. Western county soils are dense,
he said, and weight limits would
remain in force longer.
Committee member Jim Schaefer,
town of Stettin, said the county should
not lift the weight limits postings by
section.
Do the county all the same, he said.
Schaefer argued truck drivers
hauling gravel and timber will use
all kinds of different routes to exploit
highways that no longer have a spring
weight limit.
Committee member Richard Gumz,
town of Holton, however, said he did
favor a section-by-section lifting of the

Bernhagen provided an update and timeline for the 2016 street and

their concerns for street closures and possible access issues during
the construction period. Heil reviewed the scope of the project which
will include a separation of the water and sewer mains as required
by the DNR, street and sidewalk reconstruction as necessary. The
village board feels it is better to plan for this type of project when grant
funding is available, than to wait for an infrastructure failure and have
to deal with it as an emergency. Heil stated the village and contractor
will do the best they can to keep business access open with as
minimal service interruptions as possible. Affected businesses and
residents will be notified of a meeting to be scheduled in February to
review the project timeline and to work through any potential access
issues or temporary utility outages.

Public Works Committee: Scott Winch shared the school districts
plan and request for the village to consider closing the 500 block
of North 3rd Avenue to provide additional parking and green space
with their proposed building addition. The daytime street closure
continues to be a safety issue for evening and weekend activities.
Discussion included eliminating one of the few north/south accesses
and delayed emergency response if the street is permanently
closed. Could there be an option to add an access point on the east
side of the high school? The Public Works Committee will take up
this request, with plans to gather community input and search out the
history of a previous citizen petition (1997?). No action at this time.
Discussion of the storm water request for Allie Knolls property on
West Elm Street. Frodl stated part of the issue was the small water
tower running over when the ball tower was offline. The public works
crew did some landscaping in the area to get the water flowing.
Any permanent change would require an easement for the Terry
Chrouser property. No action at this time.
he said.
Schlei said the county needed to
reward farmers who use drag lines
because they do a tremendous favor
for us.
County highway engineer Kevin
Lang told the committee that it was
less damaging to county roads to allow
an overweight tractor with a drag line
spool travel a dozen times on a posted
road than to have a fully loaded manure
tanker pulled by a tractor run 20 times
on a non-posted road. The tractor with
a drag line spool, he said, was worth 24
Equivalent Single Axle Loads (ESAL).
The tractor and manure tanker would
cause 46 ESAL damage to the same
road.
The manure tank and tractor is
doing twice as much damage, said
Lang.
Lang said the county puts weight
limits on to protect roads, but that the
roads remain fairly fragile even after
the road weight limits come off. He
said heavy equipment could damage
roads both when the limits were on but
also when they just come off. It takes
a while in the spring, he explained,
before the roads stiffen up.
Lang told committee members that
they could, if they desired, lift spring
weight limits by county section, rather
than all at once. He recommended
the county be split into three or
four sections if this is the policy the
committee wants to pursue. Western
Marathon County would be either one
or two sections. The countys northeast
region would be a third section. The

THE RECORD-REVIEW
OBITUARIES
Richard Czech
Adeline Drexler
Trusting in his Savior Jesus Christ for his salvation

and eagerly anticipating the joy of heaven that awaited
him, Richard Dick Donald Czech, 83, Athens, left this
world on Friday, Dec. 11, 2015, at Continental Manor
Golden Living Center in Abbotsford.
He was born May 6, 1932, in the town of Hamburg,
son of the late Henry and Katharine (Dorn) Czech.
Dick graduated from Concordia High School in
Milwaukee and furthered his education, graduating
from River Forest College in Illinois. He began his
teaching career in Illinois, then taught in Pittsburg,
and was then called upon in 1957 to teach in Athens at Trinity Lutheran
School, where he met the love of his life, Ellen Polk. They were married on
July 25, 1959, at St. John Lutheran Church in Berlin. In 1994, they retired
together and went on the trip of a lifetime to the Holy Land and Egypt, given
to them by the congregation of Trinity Lutheran Church. It was on this trip
they both realized that, as they walked where Jesus did, it made reading the
Bible even more precious.
The biggest influence in Dicks life was Rev. Herman Schedler, who
baptized and confirmed him, and also performed his marriage ceremony.
One of Dicks greatest joys, besides being principal and teaching, was
leading Bible class at the Plisch apartments.
He loved spending time with his family and will be missed by all the people
whose lives he touched.
Surviors include his loving wife of 56 years, Ellen Czech, Athens; two
children, Nathan (Patty) Czech, Madison, and Jenny (Tim) Hartwig, Athens;
three grandchildren, Hillary (Riley) Schreiner, Madison, Molly Czech,
Madison, and Eric (Courtney) Hartwig, Athens; two great-grandchildren,
Reis Schreiner and Brilee Hartwig; two siblings, Marjorie (Lawrence)
Radenz, Merrill, and David (Barb) Czech, Athens; brothers and sisters-inlaw, Doris Jesse, Wilfird (Carolyn) Polk, Elaine Mueller, Arthur (Barb) Polk
and Faith (Donald) Gatzke; and many nieces and nephews; relatives and
friends.
Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by three siblings, Gerald
Czech, Robert Czech and Marlene Hamann.
The funeral service was held at 11 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 14, at Trinity
Lutheran Church, Athens. Rev. Mark Schwalenberg presided. Burial was
in the Athens Lutheran Cemetery. Friends called on Sunday at the church
from 2-5 p.m. and again on Monday from 10 a.m. until time of service at the
church.
The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to Deb Schorer
and the staff at Continental Manor Golden Living Center for the special
care and compassion given to Dick.
Dicks favorite Bible passage: Romans 8:28 And we know that all things
work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called
according to his purpose.
Memorials may be directed to Trinity Lutheran Church.
Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, Athens, assisted the family
with arrangements. Online condolences may be expressed at www.

Among his favorite pastimes was spending time with his family, fishing

THE RECORD-REVIEW
December 16, 2015
Page 21
Conservation proposal is tabled

The Marathon County Environmental Resources Committee on Thursday
voted unanimously to table until January a vote on whether to endorse three
Marathon County Farm Bureau resolutions concerning agricultural run-off.
The resolutions call for minimal
conservation standards without state
cost-sharing, requiring municipalities
to spread sludge according to nutrient

management plans and for the state
to enforce uniform penalties against
farmers who willingly and knowingly
pollute.
County land and water director Paul
Daigle said committee members asked
for additional information about the
resolutions.
A proposed resolution calls for the

Marathon County Board of Supervisors, the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Northcentral Wisconsin
Land and Water Conservation Association to endorse the Farm Bureau resolutions.
In a related development, the Wisconsin Farm Bureau convention meeting
Offer
out of high school to attend school
dances with permission. Parent
Tracy Bastman had argued during a
school board committee meeting that
the policy be changed to extend the
age limit of people allowed attending
school dances.
The school board approved revisions to its concussion policy to also
include students who are not involved
in athletics.
The school board approved its
renewal of participating in the Rural
Virtual Academy in Medford for the
2016-17 school year.

The school board approved the
school districts 2016-17 course description book.
The school board approved to
have the schools administer the youth
risk behavior survey to its middle
and high school students in January.
Stratford High School FFA members David Snortheim, Davis Dietel,
Justin Briggs and Michael Geissinger gave the school board a presentation on their trip to the national FFA
convention Oct. 28-31 in Louisville,
Ky. The Stratford FFA accepted a national chapter award during the convention. Geissinger explained to the
school board the Stratford FFA won
the award based on its student, chapter and community development.
Stratford High School principal
Janeen LaBorde told the school board
that junior Michael Geissinger has
been approved to graduate early from
high school and he will graduate in
May.
Dec. 6 in Wisconsin Dells failed to vote

in favor of a resolution proposed by
town of Marathon farmer Randel Wokatsch supporting minimum conservation standards without government
cost-sharing.
Wokatsch said he received verbal
support from Farm Bureau members
after the convention meeting.
Dog bite in
Rietbrock
A Bischon mix dog has been quarantined after biting a delivery man at a
town of Rietbrock residence, according
to the Marathon County Sheriffs Department.
A police report states the dog on Dec.
4 around 9:50 a.m. bit Spee-Dee delivery
man Jeffrey Cooney, 46, at the Richard
Murkowski residence. The bite punctured the skin.
The dog, which had current vaccinations, was quarantined at home for 10
days.
High school stage

would be good to welcome the public to
a newly renovated auditorium with a
fine arts performance. Board members
agreed.
Parks said he would see if the Wisconsin Singers from UW-Madison are
available. The singing group of students performed this past year at Marathon High School.
We got a pretty good crowd, he
said. The Great Lakes Navy Band is an
alternative, he said.
I
think
we
should
find
something,said board member Lia
Klumpyan.
In other board business:
Marathon Athletic Club officers
Andy Kurtz and Ted Knoeck explained
the clubs recent activity. The group

handles accounts for volleyball, girls
basketball, boys basketball, golf, track,
boys cross country and softball, but not
baseball, football and wrestling. The
MAC raises money from concessions at
various tournaments, donating to both
major and smaller projects, as needed.
Knoeck told board members it has accumulated $44,000 for a major project,
possibly involving the high school
track.
Board member Klumpyan said the
district was lucky to have the MAC
raising money for projects.
I am just amazed at how organized
you all are, she said. We need to
thank you people for your efforts and
work.
Administrator Parks said a house
demolition project across the street
from the high school was progressing.
Trees on the property will be harvested
and processed by the schools vocational education students, he said. Parks
said limited parking would be available on the parcel later this winter.
Administrator Parks announced
that it is now against state law to turn
down a special education student for
Open Enrollment simply on the basis
of high cost. The change means that
some school districts may charge others tuition to educate special needs
students. To date, Parks said, school
districts which are part of Mara-

thon County Special Education Program have not charged each other for
high cost students. Some things will
change next year, he said.
Board members set their annual
retreat for Jan. 16, 2016, at Marathon
Area Elementary School.
Board members approved a 201617 school calendar with a spring break
planned for the end of February and
the first week of March in 2017. Board
member Lia Klumpyan voted no.
Board members voted to compensate Sue Matthiae for her work as
a Winterguard coach. In the past, she
has volunteered her time. That runs
afoul of the Fair Labor Standards Act,
said administrator Parks.
