Marathon burglar faces additional charges

The Marathon Police Department reports that a Curtiss man, already charged
with an Oct. 18 burglary at Granite Valley
Forest Products, participated in another
theft outside of Parts City Auto Parts,
Marathon.
The department alleges that Eric
Schmidt, 35, currently in the Marathon
County Jail, stole 92 items from a car
parked outside of the Marathon business
waiting for repair.
Police were made aware of the theft
by Parts City Auto Parts owner Michael
Dodson. He led police to the basement

of a Main Street residence where stolen
property, which included socket sets and
other tools, were found.
The Marathon Police Department has
referred a 34-year-old Marathon woman
who lives in the building where the stolen
goods were found to the Marathon County District Attorneys ffice on charges of
receiving stolen property. The woman, at
this time, has not been charged.
The department now accuses Schmidt
of taking and attempting to fence at a
Stratford business a DeWalt circular saw

owned by Granite Valley Forest Products.
Marathon Police Department officer
Andy Crabb said the recent alleged thefts
should be a caution to local residents.
People in Marathon need to understand that the word is out that this area
has become fair game for criminals to
come and steal items, he said. People
need to be aware of this fact in this changing world.
Crabb urged local residents to lock
their doors.

For regular readers of my column, Im

sent Riverview the way of the wrecking
ball unexpectedly in the fall of 1967.
As I research local history here, I commonly pour over old papers, take notes
and try to get a snapshot of what was going on at the time. This week, Ive been

of Colby, Unity and Abbotsford, replacing trees, businesses, structures historic
and otherwise, hills and on-street parking spots.
Many bars were lost. Without mentioning anybody by name, there were
special affections held for The Dugout
bar on the west side on 13 on Colbys
south end of town. Upon entering the
establishment, a set of stairs led patrons
down into the bar, which was sunken below grade.
The intersection of Blackberry Road
and 13 between Colby and Unity was
home to Fuzzys bar. Unfortunately, the
historic structure was constructed in
an era ignorant of broad radius intersections, turn lanes, generous setbacks
and 48 foot semi trailers. So, the new
highway in 1987 meant, as the TribunePhonograph reported the prior year, the
bar would not escape the unrelenting
scythe of the new highway.
The Park/The Sword, a bar and dance
hall anchoring a century old forest and
recreation area, was just too unique for
the modern age and died to development
only a handful of years ago.
The famed Central State Speedway
and the 13-29 Abby Drive-In were erased
by the construction of the 29 bypass, as
was the airport portion of the Airport
Bar.
Perhaps people are happy to cleanse
the landscape of those tired old structures, quirky planning and blighted
areas. Me, I wish they were still there.
Uniqueness in building, unfortunately,
tends to not be replaced once it is gone.

Everywhere I go
I find a pal
Peter Weinschenk, Editor, The Record-Review
I am happy with my new shirt.
It is a simple, white cotton long sleeve
shirt with a button down collar and normal
cuffs.
Most importantly, the shirt fits my body.
And, therein, lies the miracle.
This is the shirt I ordered from a website,
Tailor Store, back in October that is headquartered in Helsinborg, Sweden.
Most shirt retailers will sell you a shirt
in any of three sizessmall, medium or
largeand if your body doesnt correspond
to these sizes, its your problem. It means
finding a tailor or seamstress to resize the
shirt.
With this shirt, however, I gave the Tailor Store my body measurements. They, in
turn, created an individual shirt for my individual body.
I can say that this process was not so easy.
Not long after I ordered my shirt, the
company e-mailed me back. Nobody has
those measurements, my sales representative said, and she asked that I remeasure my body. So, I did. This time, my wife
helped with the tape measure. Some of the
numbers I entered originally changed a bit.
We tried to be as accurate as possible.
Weeks later, I received my ordered shirt.
I tried it on and it was ridiculously small.
I could barely button the shirt. My arms
couldnt reach out. This whole concept, I
thought, was a disaster.
But I did not give up.
Tailor Store lets you reorder a misfitting
piece of clothing at no charge. They ask,
however, that you send them photographs
of yourself in the shirt so they can adjust
the measurements. So, I did that. I stood in
my living room. My wife snapped pictures

of me with her phone. I e-mailed those photos to Tailor Store.
The new shirt arrived yesterday in a UPS
bag. I tried it on and it fit wonderfully. Success!
I consider this nothing short of amazing.
Part of this amazement is because the
shirt, while ordered from a company in
Sweden, was actually made in Sri Lanka. It
came from 135-10 Weniwellalakauwa Rd. in
the City of Alawwa. Thats the return address on the UPS bag.
I looked up Alawwa on the Internet.
Its a medium-sized, hilly and lushly forested city with a pea-green river running
through it. Sri Lanka is the island nation
off the southern tip of India. Trains run everywhere. There are lots of people walking
around. Everyone is wearing Western-style
sports clothing.
So, here is how my shirt was made. I measured my body here in central Wisconsin.
That information went to Sweden. From
Sweden, the information was sent to Sri
Lanka. Workers there made my shirt, they
put it in a bag and sent it halfway around
the world to me. The shirt arrived on my
doorstep.
The shirt, to me, is meaningful. This is
a crazy, big world with all kinds of people.
Maybe a person feels comfortable in their
own hometown, in their own country. But
do you ever feel like you fit in this world?
I can tell you that when you put on a shirt
made in Sri Lanka made to ones individual
measurements, it helps.
The world is no longer too small or too
big. It is just right.

Stratford local
taxes increase
by 8 percent
The Stratford Village Board last week
Wednesday passed the 2016 budget. To
fund the budget, trustees increased local property taxes by $33,313 or 8.15
percent.
The trustees approved a municipal
tax levy of $442,059 for 2016. The current year levy is $408,746.
Total taxes in the village will drop
this coming year, despite the villages
higher levy.
Village clerk June Krueger said the
villages total 2016 tax mil rate will
drop 25 cents from the current year,
from $20.39 to $20.14 per thousand dolars of assessed property.
The villages total assessed value increased by $596,900, or .6 of 1 percent,
from $92,873,300 in 2014 to $93,470,200
in 2015. The owner of a house valued at
$100,000 this year will predictably see a
decrease of $25 in property taxes paid
in 2016.
Krueger said the principal reason for
this years municipal levy increase was
due to the village closing out Tax Incremental Finance District No. 1 in 2015.
Krueger said the equalized values of
the properties that were in TID No. 1,
which are collectively over $12 million,
are now in the villages general taxing
district. This accounts for $28,126 of the
villages levy increase on the Wisconsin Department of Revenues levy limit
worksheet. She said the rest of the tax
levy increase of $5,187 is the villages
normal allowed levy increase based on
net new construction of 1.269 percent.
Athens man
arrested at
Cleveland bar
The Marathon County Sheriffs Department arrested a 53-year-old Athens
man for disorderly conduct at Teasers,
town of Cleveland, on Nov. 28.
A police report states that bartender
Jaime Cheyka-Maguire dumped out
the mans drink and, taking his arm,
ordered him to leave the establishment
after he was allegedly rude to other customers and dancers at the club. After
leaving the club, the man laid down in
the doorway to Teasers so that customers had to step over him.
He was transported to the Marathon
County Jail without incident. The
District attorneys office has not filed
charges in the case.
Toys for Tots donations

Stratford High School 2011 graduate Austin Shelley, now a member of the United States Marine Corps, collected donated toys
for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program during Stratfords Christmas in the Park Saturday at Klemme Reserve.
Marathon levy approved

The Marathon Village Board on
Thursday approved a 2016 budget and
tax levy. The vote was unanimous.
The budget, as previously reported,
calls for a 7 percent or $46,533 municipal tax increase over the current year.
The budget includes a labor contract
offer, approved by the board, but not yet
finalized. It offers all village employees, except for village administrator
Andy Kurtz, a 1 percent raise in 2016.
The budget will give Kurtz a 2 percent
pay increase.
The Marathon Police Department is
not represented by a labor union. All
other nonmanagement village employees belong to the Teamsters Union.
In other business:
Village administrator Andy Kurtz
announced that new Harters containers for garbage and recycling collection
will be delivered to the village on Monday, Dec. 28, for a first pickup scheduled
for Tuesday, Jan. 5. Advanced Disposal
will pick-up the existing trashcans at
years end.
There may be a time when you have
three containers, Kurtz told village
trustees.
Kurtz alerted board members to
a possible minimum $300,000 state De-
partment of Transportation grant to

connect the Marathon Business Park
and downtown Marathon with a walking trail. The administrator said surveys have indicated local interest to
improving the villages walkability.
Board members approved a new
list of village fees, including a new
$25 fee for a home business. Village
president Small said the operator of a
licensed day care told him she appreciated all day care businesses be regulated in some way.
Kurtz told board members the reason for the small business fee is for the
village to know where the businesses
are and to add them to the list of businesses on the village website.
Board members voted to withdraw
from the Local Government Property
Insurance Fund and the League of Wisconsin Municipalities Mutual Insurance and direct administrator Kurtz
to contract with Boehm Insurance, Edgar, for property, liability and Workers
Compensation insurances.
Kurtz told board members that the
village will save $11,000 on insurance
without incurring added risk to the
village.
Board members approved award-
ing Lee Olbrantz two grants worth

$8,000 toward a $68,000 project remodel
of the exterior of the Arrow Tap, 318
Main Street, with decorative masonry,
new siding and awnings.
Kurtz said Count Materials, Marathon, was making available masonry
products at a good price to help the
downtown remodeling effort succeed.
Board members also approved a $706
grant to assist Glenn Mroczenski in
installing $5,000 in awnings at his ginseng business at 312 Walnut Street.
Board members approved a list of
2016 election workers. Administrator
Kurtz said he may use Marathon High
School civics students in next years
presidential election. It is difficult to
recruit election workers, he said.
Board members agreed to move
their regularly scheduled monthly
meeting from the first Thursday to the
first Wednesday of every month.
The trustees voted to approve a
three-year building inspector contract
with Kevin Breit, Mosinee.
The board approved the application of Josh Riehle to be a Marathon
Fire Department firefighter.

She said, for instance, a ping

Hager said the current 10-grid addressing system can confuse dispatchers. There are a number of duplicate
addresses, she said.
Gibbs said there are a number of ad-

county, he said. There are both streets
and roads with the same name, Gibbs
added.
Hager said a second reason for updating the countys addressing system is
to improve business delivery of goods.
The county officials said it would
likely take two years to implement a
new county addressing system, but
one impetus for the system is two major purchases in 2016. One is for a new
land records system, another is for a
sheriffs department data system.
In a short discussion after the presentation, the attending municipal officials questioned what their cost would
be.
Gibbs said that, as of now, the county
anticipates municipalities will cover
the cost of switching street signs and
other costs to implement the new addressing system. He said, however, that
view might change.
The [county] Executive Committee
will look at what it can do with these
costs, he said.

we will respond as quickly as possible
and that we dont screw it up.
Currently, 70 percent of calls coming to the countys central dispatch
center in Wausau are cell calls. Unlike
calls made on landline telephones, it is
tough to locate where the calls are coming from.
Hager said dispatch officers can use

Several members of the crowd also
werent too keen with the second option, which consists of keeping the
current high school gym as the main
competition gym for games. A new 550seat auditorium with a full-fly and twostation gym would be built for sports
teams to use for practices, and an addition of two science and three general classrooms would be built in the
northwest corner high school parking
lot, for a total project cost of $19 million-$23 million.
Stratford School Board member Jamie Wenzel was staunchly against option No. 2.
Why would we keep the existing
gym the way it is as the main sports
competition gym? he wondered. If
we are building a

The third option consists of building an auditorium with a full-fly and
a three-station gym onto the current
high school. There would be no classroom addition built in the northwest
corner parking lot, and the present
competition gym would be remodeled
into new locker and science rooms.
The total project cost would be $18.5

An elementary school renovation
option No. 1 that would go along with
the middle and high school options one
through three would include a building
addition in the northwest corner parking lot to consist of new multi-purpose,
music and Title 1 classrooms. The total
cost would be $7 million-$9 million.
The majority of the crowd at the listening session seemed to prefer middle
and high school building and renovation option number 3B, along with the
elementary school 3B renovation plan.
The only difference between options
three and 3B are that 3B includes the
building addition of a full kitchen in
the northwest high school parking lot,
for a total project cost of $20 million-25
million.
The elementary 3B option would be
added onto the middle and high school
3B option, and would include converting the current kitchen into just a serving kitchen, along with multi-purpose
classrooms. There would be no classroom addition built in the northwest
parking lot. The total project cost is $6
million-8 million.
Stratford resident John Southworth
expressed his interest in middle and
high school option 3B, with the elementary school 3B plan added onto it,
over the rest of the plans.
I like option 3B in the sense that it
has a lot to offer over some of the other
choices, he said. I think we would
address all of our needs in this plan,
and I think its also worthwhile to include the elementary school 3B option
because it wont be a big issue to have
food service workers hauling food over
from the high school to the elementary
school.

for the Stratford building and remodeling referendum, said it would be possible to shift the new gyms to create
room for an indoor track. Wenzel liked
his idea, because its difficult for the
high school track team to practice in
the elementary school during inclement spring weather.
Betty Southworth questioned how
many new classrooms the schools
would need based on their growth in
students, because middle and high
school option one created seven new
classrooms compared to four in the
other options. Stratford schools superintendent Scott Winch responded to
her question.
We need a minimum of three classrooms and a fourth would be great, he
said. I dont know if it would be good
to have any more classrooms added
than that. Our technology coordinator
is currently working out of a closet, so
one of those new rooms could also be
for him.
There will be upgrade

finishes throughout the
building and window
replacements.
A heated discussion ensued about

whether the school district should construct an auditorium with a full overhead fly, so that props could be flown
onto the stage.
Stratford resident Keith Grell wanted to go all in on the new auditorium.
Mr. (John) Rickinger cannot get his
current varsity band on our stage and
he still wont be able to if we turn our
gym into an auditorium, Grell said.
So I am going to fire the first bullet
and say that I want to see a full-fly and
a brand new auditorium.
Melanie Parma, senior architectural designer for Somerville, said a fly
cant be added later once a referendum
building project is completed. She also
said a full auditorium fly would cost an
extra $1 million. Rod Huther, the school
districts business manager, estimated
$1 million spent on a full-fly would cost
taxpayers of a $100,000 house about an
extra $10 per year.
School board member Chris Dickin-
son wondered whether a full fly mattered when bringing in performers

from the outside. Rickinger responded
to his question, The less you can offer
from a technical aspect, whether it be
lighting or sound and a fly, those will
factor into what groups can come in
and perform. The community needs
to decide whether they want to have a
performing arts center or a speaking
and performance auditorium.
The next Stratford School District
listening session will be held from 6-8
p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 16, in the high
school band room. Miron officials will
have fine-tuned plans and cost numbers so residents can whittle down the
options into one concrete plan they
want. The school board will vote on
a building referendum idea and total
cost at their Jan. 11 regular monthly
meeting to meet the Jan. 23 deadline toward having an April referendum.

Deer camp! The best place on Earth!
Hello friends,
This is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for the Red Brush Gang. We call a
36x18 pole barn home each November, which we put up on public land in the Meadow
Valley Wildlife area.
By the last day of the season, over 25 people will have slept in it. Let me tell ya folks, we
hunt hard and at night we have a lot of fun.
Saturday, November 21st
High 35, low 22
The majority of the gang came to
camp on Thursday night. With about
a dozen of our members being in the
20 something age range, the evening
is just a blast for us conservative old
timers to watch.
There were several wrestling
matches. Yours truly would obtain rib
and head injuries with the rib injuries
lasting the entire nine-day season. The
head wound was so ugly I refused
to look at it the first six days I was at
camp.
These guys would eliminate ISIS.
Last night I cooked my meal for the
season, which was scalloped potatoes
and ham, a hot dish made of rice, wild game and squash. In reality, you have to have about
50 pounds of food to feed this gang. Once the meal is served, you get to belly up to the table
the rest of the season and have someone else prepare your meals.
On opening morning there were 18 of us spread out over about 15 square miles.
Twenty-seven-year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as night was becoming day, and
that was confirmed when it became light enough. Ryan had what he described was an
incredibly easy shot at a nine-point buck with an 18-inch spread. Ryans trophy had a very
busted up rack and would eventually win the
the Red Brush Gangs big buck contest.
About three miles north, Doug Cibulka and
his 16-year-old son, Derek, were hunting an
area near the Sprague Mather Flowage. Just like
last year, Doug and Derek had an experience
with a pack of wolves and later in the day they
relocated. Doug saw a six-pointer going through
the brush and made some venison.
Back in the area of our camp, Dick Schuster
(who is in his mid 60s) climbs way up a pine
tree and sits all day. He missed an easy shot on
a six-pointer, tried a desperation shot and put a
bullet in its neck.
These three guys would be buck brothers
for the night. As far as the rest of the gang goes,
over half of us did not see a deer.
Selina and I hunted where we bow hunted. I
believe the water levels rising over 10 inches in
what was dry marsh and then freezing into half
The Buck Brothers, Doug Cibulka,
ice pushed the deer out of our area. In two days
Dick Schuster and Ryan Moll
of dark-to-dark hunting, Selina and I would see
one deer.
Tonight, as I have done for 44 consecutive years, I headed over to Necedah with the gang
and ate a turkey dinner at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.
On Monday, after a very lively Sunday night at camp, we began a different method of
hunting deer, which is big drives that literally cover a square mile.
Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass. All of us find out what kind of physical
condition we are or are not in. Today we had pretty steady action but not such good success.
None of the adults has a doe tag. There are three kids that do. Three bucks were kicked
up and it sounds like one of them would have won the big buck contest.
That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they both missed. The half ice
that I was talking about is incredibly difficult to travel through. The marsh grass grabs your
legs above the ice and you have to break ice to make the next step forward.
On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll, his dad, Jeff, (40 consecutive years) Doug,
Selina and myself.
We ate a great meal, Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed. The next day we hunted
hard and that night we had visitors that kept us up late once again.
Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place! Sunset

Q. Whats involved in bonding?

A. Bonding is a procedure in which your dentist applies a tooth-colored
resin to one or more of your teeth. Its generally a cosmetic procedure used
to restore or improve your smile. It can close gaps between teeth, improve
the appearance of discolored teeth and repair chipped or cracked teeth.
Bonding is also used to protect any part of a tooths root that has been
exposed by receding gums.
The dentist first may slightly roughen the surface of the tooth and apply a
liquid preparation. He or she then will apply the tooth-colored resin material
and use a special light to bond the material to the tooth. Bonding generally
does not require any anesthesia and, after the initial consultation and planning sessions, the work can usually be finished in one visit.
Other more complicated procedures for cosmetic or restorative goals
can be considerably more complicated, time-consuming and expensive.
Porcelain veneers and crowns, for instance, have to be manufactured in a
dental lab from impressions made by your dentist. Those items then have
to be put in place by the dentist. There are plenty of options available for
improving the appearance and function of your teeth. Talk with your dentist
about them.

Tigers dominate home duals

Bluejays are
champs in the
Antigo tourney
Ten Stratford wrestlers finished
Saturdays home Schoenherr Duals
with 5-0 records to help the Tigers
easily win the team tournament
championship.
Stratford opened the tournament
by manhandling Chequamegon, 840. The Tigers then beat Division 2
Medford, 66-12, and Phillips, 76-3.
The Tigers pummeled Division
1 Chippewa Falls, 79-0, before ending the day with a 62-15 win against
Wautoma/Wild Rose.
Stratford entered Saturdays competition as the third ranked team in
the Division 3 preseason high school
wrestling rankings, according to wi
wrestling.com. The Tigers return
four individual state champions
from last season.
Stratford wrestlers who achieved
5-0 records during the Schoenherr
Duals were Macey Kilty at 106
pounds, Jake Drexler at 113, A.J.

Stratford coach Joe Schwabe was
pleased with his teams perfor-
mance.
I thought overall our team wrestled very well, he said. The kids
were aggressive and transitioned
from one move to another quite
smoothly, something that usually
doesnt occur until later in the season. We did see some things that we
need to work on and that is what we
will focus on this week. Our conditioning was good and that certainly
helped us in several key matches
against some very good individuals.
The Tigers varsity squad next
wrestles at 9:30 a.m. Saturday in

Red Raiders
beat Warriors
By Bryan Wegter
The Star News
Despite a lead as large as 11 at one
point in the first half, the Stratford
Tigers couldnt hang on during Mondays nonconference boys basketball
game. The Redmens press defense
wore down the Tigers and allowed
them to leave Stratford High School
with the 68-64 win.
A Cole Hoffman three put the Tigers up four with five minutes left.
Rib Lakes Austin Ewan went right
back the other way and knocked
down a right-wing three. Joe
Scheithauers putback with 3:38 remaining gave the Redmen a 58-57
lead, their first since the 10-minute
mark of the first half.
Noah Weinke hit a pull-up jumper
to make it a three-point game. Nick
Stoflet made a pair of foul shots to
make it a one-point game again, but
Stratford couldnt overturn the deficit as Rib Lake scored the next six
points.
The Tigers (2-2) will host Newman
Catholic Friday at 7:15 p.m. in their
first Marawood South contest of the
season. Rib Lake (2-1) heads into
North play Thursday against Prentice.
Stoflet and Ethan Nagel scored 15
apiece to lead Stratford. The Tigers
were a solid 25 of 53 (47 percent)
from the field, but a poor night of
outside shooting, three for 17 (17
percent) from three-point range, was
a factor in the loss. Derrick Schmidt
scored 14 and grabbed six boards.
Stoflet led the team with five assists.
In the first half, three baskets in a
span of 30 seconds, two by Schmidt
and another by Stoflet, gave Stratford a 17-9 lead. The Tigers routinely
found ways to break down Rib Lakes
full-court press, leading to a 35-27
halftime advantage. The Redmen
switched to a three-quarters 1-3-1
trap in the second half and used several turnovers by Stratford to go on
a 15-5 run that cut the Tigers lead to
one with 5:30 left to play. Scheithauer led Rib Lake with 25 points and 14
rebounds.
The Tigers beat Owen-Withee, 6558, last Thursday in a nonconference
Rockets nip Wildcats
Edgar and Spencer were tied at

halftime at 26 points apiece, but the
Rockets were able to edge the Wildcats at the end of the game with a 5853 win over Edgar.
Lucas Deschiens led Edgar with
11 points in the losing effort, while
Alec Hafferman added 10. Josh Burish and Tyler Engel each chipped in
nine points, while Matt Urmanski
added seven.
Bobby Pilz led Spencer with a
game-high 22 points.
Edgar (1-2) plays at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Owen-Withee, and then at
home Tuesday for a 7:30 p.m. matchup against Iola-Scandinavia.

19 points and seven boards. Nagel
chipped in 15 points, including three
three-pointers, and Cole Hoffman
had 15 points.
Stratford attempted only 41 shots
from the field, but made up the difference by making 15 free throws. Hoffman and Brenden Fecker had four
each. Nagel and Schmidt both made
three foul shots. The Tigers shot 53
percent on their field goal attempts,
including six of 16 from distance.
The Blackhawks were led by 28
points from Josiah Goerlitz.
The game was tied at 22 at the
break. Stratford outscored OwenWithee, 43-36, in the second half to

earn the win.
Bluejays off to slow start
Auburndale doubled up Athens, 6030, at home Dec. 3 in the season-opening game. It was also the first game
for new co-head coaches Sam Baum
and Aaron Ellenbecker.

Donovan Free and Bryce Seubert

A weekly perspective
on sports
Its neat to see the Athens varsity
wrestling team win its opening-season tournament last weekend in Antigo.
Having grown up in Marathon, I
vividly remember the glory days of
Athens wrestling in the 1980s and
1990s.
I graduated from Marathon High
School in 1996, around the time when
Athens wrestlers Kraig Underwood
and Shawn Ange were winning state
championships.
The Athens wrestling program
may never be as good as it once was
under Hall of Fame coach Jerry Wagner, but it is cool to see the program
having some success again.
I know that current Athens coach
Dale Westfall, an AHS alum who
wrestled for Wagner, would love to
bring the program back to its former
dominance. But realistically, with
declining school enrollment now,
compared to the 80s and 90s, there
arent as many kids to choose from
for wrestling.
So even though the Athens wrestling program may never be as dominant again, I am going to enjoy its
current and future successes this
season.
Many coaches in the Marawood
Conference feel that Athens is the
second-best team this season behind
defending champion Stratford.
It is just cool that Athens has
enough wrestlers to fill the starting
weight classes this season, unlike
many of the other conference teams.
Stratfords wrestling program
finds itself in a unique position compared to the other Marawood teams
in that coach Joe Schwabe has a var-
sity team and a varsity reserve team

that competes in weekend tournaments.
This past weekend the Stratford
varsity team easily won its home
Schoenherr Duals, while the varsity
reserve team had a respectable finish ahead of the Auburndale varsity
team. If the varsity reserve team
is able to beat the Apaches varsity
squad, then I dont expect much of a
competitive match when the two varsity teams face off in conference play
this season.
Pittsville used to have good varsity
wrestling teams that would fill all or
most of the weight classes. But due
to declining enrollment and a change
in head coaches, the Panthers are no
longer a formidable conference foe.
Marathons team is on the upswing, and adding Underwood as a
co-coach should help the program.
Wrestlers will respect a four-time
state individual wrestling champion.
He was inducted, along with Wagner,
into the AHS wrestling Hall of Fame
last year. This year its cool that the
late Pat Switlick, the Bluejays first
ever state wrestling champion, will
be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Back to Stratford, it will be an
interesting competition this season between freshmen Mace Kilty
and Manny Drexler for the starting
106-pound spot on the Tigers varsity
team.
Kilty won the first faceoff and was
allowed to start for the varsity team
during the Schoenherr Duals, and
Drexler was on the varsity reserve
team during last weekends tournament in Black River Falls.

Sister Cordelle Adams

Sister Cordelle Adams, Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Adoration, 83,
died on Nov. 23, 2015, at Villa St. Joseph, La Crosse. She was in the 61st year
of her religious profession.
Sister Cordelle was born Aug. 31, 1932, in Stratford to Felis and Ethel
(Raleigh) Adams.
She received the name Alice Mae Adams at her baptism. Alice was the
youngest of 11 children. They grew up on a farm. As a large family, they
enjoyed all types of outdoor sports. She remembers the love for family and
home and once said, Despite the many little scraps children do get into, I
was always sure Id never trade a one of them!
She attended Fairchild Public Country School for her first two years,
then St. Joseph School in Stratford through grade eight. Her father died
shortly after her 10th birthday. It was at that time (during the war) that her
family took in homeless children. In all, over the years, they had nine such
children.
Alice attended Stratford Public High School, where she graduated in 1950.
After graduating from high school she worked for a year in Wausau with
Employers Mutual Life Insurance Company. It was during that year that
she felt Gods call to be a sister.
Alice Adams entered St. Rose Convent in 1951. She was received into the
novitiate on Aug. 12, 1952, where she received the name, Sister Cordelle. She
professed her first vows on Aug. 12, 1954.
Sister Cordelle initially entered the field of education, receiving a
bachelors degree in education from Viterbo College (Viterbo University)
and later a masters degree in education from Notre Dame University,
Notre Dame, Ind. She taught for 22 years in Wisconsin, Washington and
Iowa. In 1978, she shifted ministry and received a prenursing degree from
Wisconsin Western Technical Institute (Western Technical College). This
transition led her to a career in social services and home care in Wisconsin,
mostly in La Crosse, for the next 20 years. In 1999, Sister Cordelle moved
to St. Rose Convent and served as a volunteer. Villa St. Joseph became her
home in 2007.
Sister Cordelle is survived by her Franciscan community; her sister,
Cordelia Gillett of Estes Park, Colo.; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Robert, Bernard,
Herman, Eugene, Arnold and Fr. Benedict (Clarence), OFM; and her sisters,
Marie Sattler, Margaret Fleece and Frances Steines.
Sister Cordelle asked to be cremated. The Mass of Christian burial was
celebrated on Tuesday, Dec. 1, in Mary of the Angels Chapel. Burial took
place at Gate of Heaven Cemetery.
Memorials may be sent to Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, 912

get a little toy or candy. If they are
naughty, then they get a lump of
coal. That will make the naughty
children think twice.

PROMOTIONAL TRUCKS ON DISPLAY-Steve Baeseman and his son Ted, both of Rib Falls, displayed a collection of model
semi-trailer trucks and Matchbox cars at Sundays Marathon FFA Alumni Farm Toy Show held at Marathon Area Elementary School.
Rib Falls man enjoys collecting

fleet of mini semi trucks
All kinds of businesses like to give
their employees toy-scale models of
their company semi-tractor trailers
as a gift.
For Rib Falls collector Steve Baeseman, he cant get enough of them.
Sunday he displayed his prolific
collection of 350 164th scale semi
trucks at the FFA Alumni Farm Toy
Show held at Marathon Area Elementary School.
The collection of mini trucks,
parked nose to nose, filled several tables. His son, Ted, 12, has something
of the collectors bug too. He owns
hundreds of Matchbox cars.
The senior Baeseman said he started collecting the model trucks back
in high school and now, as an adult,
is still devoted to his collection.
When I built my house, I installed
glass-fronted cabinets to display all
of them, he said. Now I have so
many that they have to be stored in
boxes down in the basement.
Baeseman said he collects trucks
because, as a former truck driver, he
knows their importance. He admires
truck drivers too.
I like trucks, he said. They
keep the economy going. I respect
truck drivers too. They put in a lot of
hours.
Baeseman said many of his trucks
are plastic, but most are die-cast metal.
Although he has many models, he
doesnt have even a fraction of the
total made.
There are thousands, he said.
His most valuable truck model is
worth $2,000.
Baeseman said he doesnt have a
list of must have models for his
collection.
Basically, I am just looking for
something that catches my eye, he
said.

SOMEONE IN STRATFORD YOU SHOULD KNOW...
John Geissinger
TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF?
I live between Stratford and Marshfield and I
am a senior at Stratford High School. I have
four other siblings, two older sisters, an older
brother and a younger brother who is a junior
at Stratford High School.
ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO

THE TRACK SEASON?
I am training for track now and also cross
country skiing over the winter. I am looking
forward to competing in the pole vault and
the two-mile run.
HOW WAS YOUR CROSS COUNTRY

SEASON?
It was really fun to finish off the cross country season down at state even though there
were bad conditions. I just ran the Foot Locker race in Kenosha. That was really fun and
I trained on my own for the race. I didnt get
my personal best time, but it was really fun
also because it was super muddy with a lot
of hills.
IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL

LISTENING SESSIONS?
I think so just because you get
to see government in action,
and also to get varying perspectives. And we also might
think about things that other
people might not think of.
Do you know someone from Stratford we should know? Call us at 715-223-2342.

Pledge of Allegiance was said. Open meetings requirements were
met.

budget hearing at 6:32 p.m.
Village board discussion included the 2016 utility and street
project which will be eligible as a tax incremental financing project.
Is there a way for the utility to repay their share of projects through
dividends? Discussed how using TID financing for utility projects
helps keep the water and electric rates lower to attract new
businesses and residents.

presented. Carried.
Motion by Pietrowski/Kolb to set the villages 2016 tax levy at

Tigers ready to take the next step
STRATFORD WRESTLING- The 2015-16 Stratford High School wrestling team is pictured above. The Tigers are coached by Joe Schwabe. Assistant coaches are Mark
Marquardt and Kane Krummel, and volunteer assistant coaches are Roland Kauffman, Rick Kitchner, Casey Williams and Daryl Lachen.
Stratford wants to
avenge sectional
title team defeat
There are high expectations for the
Stratford varsity wrestling team this
season, which returns four individual state champions and just missed
qualifying for state as a team.
Stratford coach Joe Schwabes four
returning state champions are sophomore A.J. Schoenfuss, wrestling at
106 pounds last season, sophomore
Jeremy Schoenherr at 113, junior
Mason Kauffman at 126 and junior
Kamren Bornbach at 182.
Wiwrestling.com recently ranked
the top 10 wrestlers in each class
for all divisions combined. Mason
Kauffman is the No. 5 wrestler and
Bornbach the No. 7 ranked wrestler
in the junior class. Schoenherr is
ranked No. 2 and Schoenfuss No. 7
in the sophomore class. Mace Kilty
is No. 7 in the freshman class, but
she will have a tough time cracking
the starting lineup considering the
Tigers return state champions at 106
and 113 pounds.
The wrestling website also has
Stratford ranked No. 3 in Division and we are working hard to reach

3 in its preseason rankings, behind that goal.
Cashton at No. 2 and Coleman as the
Stratford also returns three setop team. Stratford lost to Coleman, niors in three-time state qualifier
35-31, in the Amherst team sectional and medalist Anthony Gliniecki,
championship last season, and also two-time state qualifier and medalist
was defeated by Coleman, 42-40, in Sam Wenzel and Kyle Giebel. Sophothe 2014 Manawa team sectional more Tyson Kaufmann is a returning

squads. By doing this, those kids that

are certainly good enough to compete at the varsity level, but just may
not have a spot yet, will still get great
competition so they can also continue to improve.
The Stratford wrestling program
continues to grow with the number
of athletes out for wrestling increasing every season. It helps that the
Tigers have one of the best wrestling
practice facilities, the Fanetti Wrestling Center, in the state.
Schwabe spoke about his wrestlers
different skill sets that make them so
dominant on the mat.
Each kid has their own style and
moves of preference, which is how
we train, he said. We teach the
whole gammet and let the kids pick
out what they individually prefer
because body styles, strengths and
weaknesses will all play out into
what moves for each kid to focus on.
We currently have 32 kids on our
high school team, which is not only
a tribute to them, but to our assistant coaches, middle school program
and those involved in the youth program.

Dale Westfall is a
prideful Athens High
School wrestling alum
who is rebuilding a
successful
program
again,
after
it
experienced some tough
years following the retirement of
Hall of Fame coach Jerry Wagner in
the mid 1990s.
Wagner helped Westfall, a 1984

Westfall leaned
on his former high
school coach anytime he needed
advice during his 17 combined
years as an assistant and head
varsity wrestling coach in Wild

It was definitely a challenge

to being successful.
Athens should be able to fill most of
the starting weights this season. The
Bluejays have three top returners
back: Juniors Austin Engel and Nate
Morse, and sophomore Marshall
Westfall. Morse wrestled at 130 last
year, Engel, 145, and Westfall, 168.
All three were Marawood Conference
champions and sectional qualifiers
from last year.
Westfall noted that Morse is a
difficult competitor to wrestle, and
he comes up with different strategies
while he is wrestling. Engel is a very

strong technical wrestler who is
good on his feet, while Westfall is
also a good technical wrestler who
likes to challenge good competition.

EDGAR
Wildcats look to rebuild this season

Edgar has a young, yet
talented squad of wrestlers
who are ready to compete
This will be a rebuilding season

for the Edgar varsity wrestling team,
after the Wildcats lost six wrestlers
to graduation and return plenty of
young underclassmen.
Kevin Koch enters his seventh season as head coach of Edgars wrestling team. His team makeup this year will consist of
two juniors, eight sophomores and seven freshmen.
His program normally averages around 20 boys out
for wrestling each season.
We have a lot of good incoming wrestlers, but we realize this
is a rebuilding year for us, and
we know it and are accepting of
it, Koch said. Our wrestlers do
work hard and our type of wrestling keeps us competitive.
The young wrestlers Edgar
does have are solid competitors,
beginning with junior Alex Lemanski, who was a state qualifier
at 152 pounds last year.
Kevin
Edgar has a nucleus of talented
Koch
sophomores, including Bryce Imhoff, Colton Heil, Kade Schraufnagel, Cade Littleton
and Reece Heidmann. Will Raatz is a good freshman
newcomer to the program.
Koch said the Marawood Conference championship supremacy between Edgar and Stratford has
run in peaks and valleys through the years. A few
years ago Edgar was on top of the conference, and
now Stratford has taken over that spot and is the
heavy favorite to win the conference championship
this season.
Koch said its great that an area team like Strat-

the rest of the local teams better.
Success breeds success, and Stratfords success
is good for our rivalry, he said.

Marathon coach not
worried about his
teams state ranking
With winning comes
high expectations, and
that is certainly the case
for the Marathon varsity girls basketball team
that returns three starting players from last seasons Marawood
Conference champion and Division 4
state semifinalist team.
The Red Raiders, coached by Jeff
Schneider, lost to Fall Creek, 56-51, in
the state semifinal game last season and
finished with a 25-2 overall record. Marathons only other defeat was to Auburndale during the regular season.
Marathon is sure
to be ranked high to
begin this season,
but Schneider wont
be paying attention
to that.
Im not sure on
the ranking and I really dont care about
them,
he
said.
They dont mean
anything when it
Jeff
comes to playing our

tough
conference
schedule and then
on the tournament trail. The kids know
there are high expectations for this season but they love the situation that they
are in.
We talk a lot about really focusing on
the things we can control like rebounds
and free throws and not on the outcome
or result. We have goals for each game
on the things we can control and go from
there. If we play to the standard or high
level we have set for ourselves, we say
then wins and losses will take care of
themselves.
Marathons returning starting players are five-foot, eight-inches tall Morgan Rachu, a first-team all-Marawood
South Conference guard who averaged
11 points, six rebounds and three assists
last season.
Morgan plays with an unbelieveable
intensity and motor, Schneider said.
She has the ability to beat pressure by

herself and then finish at the rim or find
the open person. She can defend anyone
from quick guards to six feet or bigger
posts. She is a super teammate and leader.
Senior five-foot, nine-inch guard Natasha Hanke also returns. She was secondteam all-conference last season.
Natasha has worked hard on her skill
set, making her a player that can drive
the ball with a finish or dish, and she is
also an excellent perimeter shooter from
both the three-point range and off the
dribble, Schneider said. She has a fantastic work ethic and drive to get better
all the time.
Five-foot, 10-inch senior forward Olivia Meurette is the third returning
starter, and she was an honorable mention all-conference player who averaged
eight points and six rebounds last year.
Olivia shows a great motor and aggressiveness on both the offensive and
defensive boards, Schneider said. She

has the ability to both drive the ball one
dribble away from the basket, and shoot
the perimeter shot out to the three-point
area. She is a great communicator and
leader.
Senior five-foot, seven-inch guard Julia Anderson, an honorable mention allconference player last season, will probably be the teams fourth starter this
season. She averaged eight points and
three assists last year.
Julia does so many things really
well, Schneider said. She shoots the
three-pointer, can pull up off the dribble
and has excellent vision, making her one
of the best passers in our league. She
plays harder than anybody and gets her
teammates to do the same. She is a fantastic leader and talker.

guard Jayci Blume or five-foot, 10-inch
junior Amanda Kind will be the teams

Wildcats
hungry
for
the
crown
Edgar wants to win
conference title this year
A sour taste remains in the mouths of
Edgars varsity girls basketball players,
following the teams missed chances at
the end of last years regular season to
share the Marawood North Conference
championship with Athens.
Instead, the Wildcats suffered two straight defeats by
a combined three points in those games to finish the
regular season and let the Bluejays capture the conference title outright.
Edgar lost to Athens, 45-43, and then closed out the
regular season with a 45-44 defeat to Abbotsford. Edgar
tied with Abbotsford for second place in the conference
with 9-3 records, behind 10-2 Athens.
Edgar coach Betty Urmanski,
now in her 13th year coaching the
girls varsity team, and her experienced returning players arent
about to let the same thing happen
to them this season.
We are a hungry team and we
want to create an environment that
promotes constant competitiveness on the court, because we felt
we didnt have that during some of
our big games at the end of last seaBetty
son, Urmanski said.
Urmanski
The Wildcats are loaded with
talent and ready to take that next step of winning the
Marawood North. Urmanski returns her three leading
scorers from last years team. Senior Tianna Borchardt
averaged 18 points per game last season, and she was
second in scoring in the Marawood North behind Kyncaide Diedrich of Athens, who has since graduated.
For her efforts, Borchardt was a unanimous first-team
all-Marawood North Conference selection last season.
Junior Macey Wirkus joined Borchardt on the conferences first team last year. Wirkus was second on Edgars team in scoring last season by averaging 11 points
per game. She led last years team with 69 rebounds,
with Borchardt close behind with 61. Wirkus also led
the team in steals by averaging four per game.
Senior Dana Heidmann was third on last years team
in scoring by averaging eight points per game, earning her honorable mention all-conference. Other players returning with experience include seniors Courtney Mueller and Tiana Weatherby, along with juniors
Rachel Heiden, Alexandria McKibben and Lindsey
Schneeberger.
WILDCAT HOOPS- The 2015-16 Edgar High School girls basketball team is pictured above. The Wildcats are
coached by Betty Urmanski. She is assisted by Terry Hoesly, Gary Brewster and Angela Totzke.
Urmanski called Schneeberger the spark plug
on the team, and she said Weatherby is an extremely
quick player who has improved on her defensive rotations. Urmanski added that Heiden is a point guard
with a nice outside shot, and McKibben is a five-foot,
nine-inch post player who plays well with her back to
the basket.
This years team may have lots of experienced players returning, but Urmanski is concerned with her

STRATFORD
Height wont deter the Tigers from wins

Stratford will need to play
defense a little differently
with guard-oriented team
Stratfords varsity boys basketball team will need to outsmart and
outwork its competition this season, considering the Tigers dont
have much height or quickness.
Curt Schmidt enters his 16th
season at the helm with an overall
record of 262-115. His tallest player is six-feet, fourinches tall, and the Tigers are a guard-heavy team.
Schmidt is adjusting his teams strategies to their
lack of height.
We will run our base motion
offense that these kids know
well and have been running for
years, he said. However, we are
teaching some variations that fit
our kids strengths. On defense,
we will get back to our staples
with more man-to-man defense
with more three-quarter pressure packages.

ATHENS
New coaches will guide Bluejays

Co-head coaches have
tweaked the offense a little
New Athens varsity boys basketball
co-coaches Sam Baum and Aaron Ellenbecker are giving players more freedom
this season to use their instincts and high
basketball intelligence on the court.
The coaches have tweaked the motion
offense sets ran last season and are giving players the
ability to react to game situations, for example, set a
backscreen on offense and then roll down to the basket.
Our team also has a lot of speed, so we want to get
out and run with the basketball, Baum said.
Coaches are preaching to their
players the importance of executing a help defense.
Athens returns a bunch of top
players from last years team that
finished 5-14. That list includes
senior point guard Justin Kelly,
senior point guard and small forward Lane Nicholds, junior small
forward Ben Weller, six-foot, seven-inch junior center Jameson
Brooks, junior shooting guard and
Sam
small forward Sawyer Thurs, juBaum
nior shooting guard and small
forward Edgar Bonilla and sophomore point guard Cade Ellenbecker.
There are 26 boys out for high school basketball this
season, of which Baum said is good even though most
of them are freshmen and sophomores.
Ellenbecker had been the junior varsity basketball
coach. Baum was working as a long-term substitute
physical education teacher in Athens, and when he was offered the
co-head coaching job, being around
the high school students made it an
easy decision for him to take the
job.
The Athens student athletes
have a lot of energy, and they have
been working really hard in practice, Baum said. The community
has been really supportive of the
student athletes and they have acAaron

Last year, the Wildcats finished the season just behind
conference champion Phillips.
With plenty of experience returning, third-year head coach
Dave Huss wants to revere the
teams fortunes this year.

ball skills.
Players filling out the remaining varsity roster are senior
forwards Ben Lepak, Hunter
Ellenbecker and Xavier Hackel;
junior guards Shawn Bunkelman and Mason Guralski; and
sophomore guard Josh Burris.
Edgars team is working on
its spacing on offense in practice, because Huss thought his
players were too robotic last
season in their offensive sets.
The Wildcats began the season out slow with a loss to
Almond-Bancroft, but the season is early and there is plenty
of time to improve. Edgar will
focus on winning all its Marawood North Conference games
to ensure they win the title.
