details
still in
progress
Estimates show
costs shifting
By Kevin OBrien
With less than two months to go before local officials are asked to vote on a
proposed consolidation of area fire departments, its still unclear exactly how
much the merger would save taxpayers.
Preliminary budget estimates for the
new fire district show some of the costs
for fire protection shifting from the cities
of Abbotsford and Colby and the village
of Dorchester to the towns of Holton,
Mayville, Hull and Colby.
The cost of hiring a full-time fire chief
estimated at $60,000 to $70,000 per year
will need to be added to the combined
operating budgets of the Abbotsford, Colby and Dorchester fire departments. For
2016, that equals close to $400,000.
Larry Oehmichen, chairman of the
fire consolidation board, believes there
are enough savings to be found when
merging the three departments to pay
for a chief and operate with a budget of
about $375,000. He expects a big break
in insurance costs by having one set of
policies instead of three, and he also anticipates savings in other areas.
Im thinking its a work in progress,
he said Monday, referring to a budget for
the proposed district.
Colby fire chief Ross Rannow says the
revenue generated by the Abbotsford and
Colby ambulance services should be able
to pay half the chiefs wages, and possibly another full-time EMT to go on ambulance calls during the week.
Also, Rannow said the cost of a fulltime chief will be offset by not having to
pay the three current chiefs as much as
they earn now.
A lot of those wages are being paid

Geography
can be fun,
humiliating
I dont know exactly why my wife and
I got on the subject of U.S. geography the
other night, but it was definitely one of
those right-before-bed conversations.
We each had our respective laptops out,
aimlessly scrolling around the Interwebs
and waiting for sleep to come.
Then Linda asked me something
like, Do you think you could find all 50
states on a map? Well, of course I can, I
thought to myself.
Im an educated
UT FOR
man, and there is
nothing more basic than being able A WALK
to correctly point
out the states in
our great nation.
This prompted
a Google search,
which led to a website with the domain name online.
seterra.net. There
was a 50 states
quiz, right at the
top of a page filled
with map quizzes
BY

world. This awakEDITOR
ened the long-dormant geographer
inside me, the one who used to love poring over maps and figuring where everything was in the world.
I have to admit, though, I did not get a
100 percent on my first time taking the
quiz. The New England states, especially
Delaware, always throw me for a loop. We
Midwesterners always love to turn up
our noses at coastal dwellers who cant
find our states on a map, but I think the
ignorance goes both ways. Its especially
difficult for those of us in larger-sized
states to pick apart all those tiny little
shapes scrunched into the northeastern
corner of the country. From the perspective of New Englanders, though, Im sure
states like Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
Dakotas look like they might as well be
Canadian provinces on the wrong side of
the border.
If you really want to humble yourself,
the website has plenty of other quizzes
that delve deeper into ones knowledge
of geography. Identifying capitals and
other major cities can be a lot more difficult than you might expect, especially if
youre like me and you dont get outside
of Wisconsin and Minnesota very often.
But, for the ultimate feeling of humiliation and frustration, try identifying all
of the countries in Europe and Africa,
or Asia for that matter. We Americans
are often mocked for not knowing where
anything is outside (or inside) our borders, and you can prove this stereotype
is accurate simply by trying to untangle
the mess of nations in the Balkans. Its
like a mutated version of New England,
but with every name ending in the letters
ia.
The thing is, the more I stumbled
around the globe making wild, incorrect
guesses, the more quizzes I wanted to
challenge myself with. Eventually, Linda
made me close my laptop and go to sleep,
but I bookmarked the site so I could come
back and see if I will ever be able to identify all the island nations in Oceania. Not
if want to get any sleep, I suppose.

Almost a year ago, I wrote an op-ed which was printed in the Marshfield News-Herald expressing concern over the excessive number of
trees the city cut down annually. My column focused on how the I believe the quality of a community can be partially determined by how
it values its trees.
The response, in all honesty, was more than I anticipated and many
citizens concurred with my viewpoints. The mayor and some readers
took issue with my opinions and voiced the typical refrain of, I love
trees too, but(insert good reason to cut them down).
The mayor said he was proud being part of Arbor Days Tree City
U.S.A. program and promised road projects involving tree removal
would ultimately be a huge improvement and include new trees.
The word improvement is subjective but, in
my opinion, the shaded boulevards with large maOLD HAT

from lawn to lawn with traffic areas, bike lanes,
parking spaces and generous sidewalks crowding
out the possibility of any green space. The difference is night and day.
All in all it seems there is always a really good
reason to cut down healthy old trees. My takeaway
from this particular project was the city valued being considered a Tree City far more than it valued the actual trees.
The tree-cutting phenomena is not unique to
Marshfield. The other week, Medfords city counBY
cil took up whether or not it should grant a homeCHRISTIAN
owner a variance to an ordinance restricting trees

deal, right?
Well, it turns out the tree is 150 years old, meaning it predates the
City of Medfords founding. Generations have accommodated the tree
which, according to a forester, is in good health and does not need to be
removed. The tree was spared when the road was widened in the 1970s
and had the sidewalk routed not once, but twice, around it. At one point
a gas line was even run underneath the tree.
Accommodations for the tree all came to an end last week when the
council voted not to allow an exception for the tree in the interest of
fairness. The mayor said if one tree were to be spared, other residents would likely want to keep their trees also, saying, If the council
agrees to keep that tree tonight, we might as well take this [ordinance],
crumble it up and throw it in the basket.
Bingo! The mayor was being facetious, of course, but I think he hit
the nail right on the head. A growing government and an age everreliant on rules and regulations for otherwise basic common sense
decision-making has painted itself into a corner of contradictions and
duplicities. Unfortunately, when it comes to trees, the consequence is
Wisconsin cities and street are looking less and less green.
Maybe an ordinance that requires the destruction of a piece of natural history far beyond our years should be crumpled up, as Medfords
mayor suggested. Where are the ordinances protecting and ensuring
future generations are left with irreplaceable aesthetic keepsakes we
inherited?
As spring is just around the corner, tags and sprayed marks will start
appearing on veteran trees - even the healthy ones. I am reminded it

the Coffee Shop in Abbotsford and later
purchasing the IGA grocery store from
Clayton Afkend in 1960. Vivian taught
until they purchased the store, but then
returned a couple years later teaching
kindergarten in Abbotsford. She continued helping at the store, which they eventually sold to Dennis.
Determined is one thing she is, Cyndi said. If she says something will get
done, it will get done.
Dennis recalls how his mother was always busy and involved with something
during his childhood.
Since Ive been old enough to remember, shes always been doing three or four

Not a lot of teachers got masters degrees at that time, especially women.

the news on an important date, Jan. 7.
It just happened to be on the same
date as our 45th anniversary in business, he said. We had just talked about
that, Mom and I, about 10 minutes before
they got here.
It was back in 1971 when Als father,
Ray Gurtner, first opened his own meat
market on STH 13 in the village of Unity.
At that time, Rays Market carried a limited supply of basic grocery items along
with its homemade sausages made with
the recipes from Rays father, Adolph, an
immigrant from Switzerland.
Thirty-eight years later, on March
3, 2009, the markets longtime home in
Unity was gutted by an early morning
fire that also destroyed a lot of sausage
and forced Als mother, Janet, out of her
home above the shop.
That was not the end of Rays Market,
however. Al and his wife, Connie, decided
to rebuild at a new location and ended up
buying land on Elderberry Road in the
town of Hull, in between the cities of
Colby and Abbotsford.
The Gurtner family was back in business just in time to start processing
venison from the 2009 deer season. In the
six-plus years at the new location, the
expanded space has allowed them to dramatically increase their production and
expand their customer base.
Its really nice. We have a lot more
room here to do things and much more
visibility, Al said. We get whole new
clientele off of STH 29 that never knew
about us before. Thats been a big plus.
Besides their own lines of sausages,
brats and other smoked meats, Rays
Market also sells a wide variety of regional products, including wine from
Munson Bridge Winery in Owen and
Gouda cheese from Hollands in Thorp.
The shelves are stocked with everything
from jam and jelly to pickled vegetables.
Pretty much everything we have is
from Wisconsin, Al said. Thats what
we try to specialize in.
The stores products have won numerous awards from the Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors at the Wisconsin
State Fair. In 2012, their smoked ham

When asked about the possibility of
downsizing the payrolls of emergency
responders, Rannow said that shouldnt
be necessary.
I believe we need every firefighter and
EMT we have in all three communities,
Rannow said. We definitely need everybody we have.
A full-time chief
At a 90-minute meeting in Dorchester
last Wednesday, the role of a new fulltime fire chief was one of several topics
that generated a lot of conversation.
According to a proposed intergovernmental agreement for the district, the
chief will be responsible for the supervision, scheduling, education, organization and administration of firefighting
personnel, while also being able to perform EMT and ambulance shift work.
This new fire chief has got to be available during the week, when were shortstaffed, to be able to go out on these ambulance runs, Oehmichen said.
The chiefs home office will be in the
centrally located Abbotsford fire hall,
with the district paying the city an annual fee of $5,000 as rent.
Another provision in the agreement
calls for all of the currents chiefs and
other officers to keep their positions for
one year after the merger to ensure a
smooth transition for the new chief.
After that, the chief will have the authority, subject to approval by a fire board or
commission, to designate the assistant
And Save!
Weighted voting
The idea of giving more voting power
on financial matters to the municipalities with the largest share of the budget
has created mixed reactions.
As a compromise, Oehmichen included a provision in the agreement that requires a two-thirds vote for approving
budget and larger purchases.
In order to pass a budget or any purchase over $50,000, each member of the
board will vote at the same percentage as
their equalized fire cost; however, both

Ambulance revenue
As the director of Colbys ambulance
service, Rannow said he believes there is
enough revenue available to provide ambulance service from Monday through
Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
I can easily pay a full-time EMT and
put enough money aside for replacement
ambulances, he said at the meeting last
week in Dorchester. Abby should be
able to do the same.
Exactly how much ambulance revenue
is available after expenses are covered
was not shared at last weeks meeting.
When asked about it earlier this week,
Rannow said Colby EMS took in about
$140,000 in gross revenue last year, but
he wasnt willing to guess how much was
left after expenses.
Both Abbotsford and Colby EMS cover
their own operating expenses, aside from
insurance, with revenue generated by
making ambulance calls.
Abbotsford Ald. Marty Schwantes suggested that some of that money could be
used to offset the expenses of the new fire
district.
Rannow, however, said those funds
should be kept separate.
I dont think you should be taking the

OBITUARY
Irene Flink
Irene Mae (Schultz) Flink, age 89, of
Colby died on Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2016, under Palliative Care at St. Josephs Hospital in Marshfield.
She was born March 12, 1926, the
daughter of William and Esther (Goutcher) Schultz in Unity. She attended Unity schools and was a Unity High School
class of 1943 graduate. After graduation,
she attended technical college in Minneapolis, and began her work during
World War II at the Marine headquarters in Washington D.C. Irene was united in marriage to Conrad Flink on Sept.
14, 1946, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Unity.
Irene and Conrad spent most of their married lives
as dairy farmers in the Unity and Colby area, and
parenting a large family. After retiring from farming they relocated to Colby. Irene was always an active member in her church, first Trinity Lutheran
Church in Unity and then at First United Church
of Christ in Colby, and served in many capacities
including the Womens Guild and on various committees. Irene also became a volunteer and later a
foster grandparent at Colby Elementary to the first
grade. A generation of children grew up getting extra help and knowing the kindness and warmth of
Grandma Flink and her smile. Irene was always a
voracious reader and enjoyed her time at the Colby
Public Library as a board member and weekly volunteer. Irene was also a member of the Colby VFW
Ladies Auxiliary.
She enjoyed the outdoors and frequently would
comment about the beauty of the trees and the wildlife around her. She enjoyed having a vegetable garden while on the farm and flowering baskets in later
years. Irene loved the art of letter writing and was a
pen pal to many in the family. Irene will be remembered for her sweet and constant smile since she
always believed that when you smile in a friendly
way, you get one back almost every time. She loved
her large family and would love to have company and
get caught up on all of their activities. She will be
dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Colby girls beat Spencer, lose to O-W
The Colby girls basketball
team hosted the Spencer Rockets last Thursday and came
away with a 44-42 win in the
Eastern Cloverbelt.
The Hornets led 28-20 at halftime and maintained their lead
long enough to seal the win.
Defensively the girls came
out and played a really solid
game, said coach Randy Rau.
Offensively we were efficient
the first half, we just couldnt
knock down open shots in the
second half. But our defense
held us together tonight.
It was a big game for the
teams eight seniors, as they
were honored as part of the
annual Senior Night game.
That is a group of players
that love the game and work
hard to get better. Two qualities that every coach loves to
see, Rau said. I would like to
thank all the parents and fans
for their continued support
and like to say a big thank you
to our pep band that always
adds a little nicer atmosphere
to the games.
Senior Sammi Hayes led the
Hornet offense with 10 points,
including four from the freethrow line. She also pulled
down a team-high 13 rebounds.
Fellow seniors Haylee Geiger and Jenna Jicinsky each
pitched in seven points, including a pair of three-pointers from Geiger and one from
Jicinsky.
Paige Bruesewitz and Ashley Streveler also drained
one three-pointer apiece, and
Neilana Golz tacked on six
points to Colbys total.
The Hornets stole the ball 11
times during the contest and
got 33 rebounds.
On Tuesday, Colby stayed at
home to host the Owen-Withee
Blackhawks in another conference bout. This time, the visiting team got the upper hand
and left with a 42-24 victory.
The game started off slow
on offense for both teams, with
Colby putting up just 10 points
in the first half, compared to 15
for the Blackhawks.
O-W ran away with the game
in the second half, scoring 27
points while holding Colby to
14.
The Hornet offense was
led by senior Hannah Gurtner, who scored 10 points, six
of which were from the freethrow line. Fourteen of the
teams 24 points came from the
charity stripe.
Colby stole the ball 14 times
and tallied a total of 30 rebounds on the night.
The girls will travel to Gilman Friday for a doubleheader with the boys team.
The girls game starts at 7:30
p.m. The Hornets return home
Tuesday night to take on the TAKE AWAY - Colbys Ashley Streveler goes on a fast break after stealing the ball from the SpenNeillsville Warriors.
