Medford school board commits to
— Sports referendum to be held spring 2016
by Reporter Mark Berglund
The Medford Area School Board committed to a
spring 2016 referendum. The decision, made on July
16 at its regular meeting, now shifts the board focus to
educating voters about the maintenance issues which
would be paid for by the measure if it passes.
The board’s next step will be to review the financial
effect of the election. It directed the administration to
work with Baird on estimates of taxpayer impact for
various amounts of borrowing.

Osprey perched
atop the league
after 5-4 win
by Sports Editor Matt Frey
Twice in the bottom of Sunday’s fifth inning, the Rib
Lake Osprey tried to give the Whittlesey Reds an out
by laying down sacrifice bunts. Twice, the Reds failed
to get that out and those miscues gave the Osprey just
enough of a cushion to win the Dairyland League show-
down 5-4 at Tannery Creek Parkway.
The win vaulted Rib Lake into sole possession of first
place in the league standings, at least for the time be-
ing. The Osprey are now 9-2 with just one game left to
play. They finish their league schedule Friday with a
7:30 p.m. first pitch at Abbotsford (2-7).
Marshfield and Whittlesey both sit a half-game back
at 8-2 with two games left to play. A three-way tie for
the championship is a good possibility. If that happens,
Marshfield would claim the league’s top seed for Wis-
consin Baseball Association seeding purposes because
the Chaparrals beat Rib Lake and Whittlesey in their
head-to-head matchups.
Marshfield finishes with games at Westboro this
Sunday and at Interwald on Aug. 1. Whittlesey has a
tough matchup with the surging Wausau River Hawks
this Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at Mike Roiger Stadium. The
Reds host Rock Falls (2-7) in their Aug. 1 finale.

Rib Lake shared last year’s league championship
and scores in the bottom of Sunday’s fifth inning to give his team a 5-0 lead. The Osprey would need that run. They
held on for a 5-4 win over the Reds in Sunday’s key Dairyland League contest. See RIB LAKE on page 16

Interwald keeps
pace with 5-2 win
over Westboro
by Sports Editor Matt Frey
Interwald pitcher Peter Devine went from cruise con-
trol while retiring 16 consecutive batters to having to
make some big pitches in the top of the ninth to allow
his team to earn a 5-2 win over Westboro on Sunday af-
ternoon in Rib Lake.
Devine threw a four-hitter and was two outs from
a shutout when Westboro finally broke through in the
top of the ninth. But the Woodticks’ left-hander never
let the tying run get to the plate and assured his team
