Elk Mound resident sues village board

ELK MOUND — Elk Mound resident John Fellenz, who resigned as a volunteer on the Elk Mound Police Department last month, has now filed a lawsuit against the Village Board. The lawsuit was filed in Dunn County Court on Nov. 6. The defendants are the Village Board members, including Village President Tim Benjamin. The case has not yet been assigned to a judge, and no court dates have been set. On Oct. 6, the board voted 6-1 to disband the police department, and instead enter into an agreement with Dunn County to provide law enforcement services, with aid from a four-year grant. Dozens of village residents attended that meeting and objected to the plan. Fellenz contends the board was not following protocol on open meetings leading to that vote. It is unclear when the village began discussing with Dunn County about contracting for law enforcement services. Fellenz claims that through an open records request, he obtained 79 emails from Dunn County that were exchanged with Elk Mound officials that he hadn’t previously seen. He said it showed the discussion began in May. “It is very clear they weren’t evaluating options; the decision was made,” Fellenz said. “The story put out

Barron County stays red, but state goes blue; local legislators comment

Barron County voters had the Republican party’s back on Nov. 3, but the rest of Wisconsin did not follow suit, elected a slate of Democrats to the state’s top offices and flipped the Legislature. Entering Wisconsin’s Fall Election, the GOP knew it was facing a possible midterm-election upheaval. In Wisconsin, President Donald Trump’s approval rating was 37%, according to a Marquette Law School Poll released Oct. 28. Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Crowley had the support of 51% of likely voters, compared with GOP opponent Tom Tiffany’s support at 44%. But Barron County has a deep red streak when it comes to voting, and election results showed it stayed true to form. GovernorCrowley, the Milwaukee County administrator, won 7,550 out of 20,163 votes cast in his race in the county, or 37% of the vote. On the other hand Tiffany, a Minocqua resident who gave up a reelection bid for Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District representative to run for governor, earned 12,613, or 63% of the vote. Included in these totals were votes from Rice Lake, which gave Tiffany 1,767 votes out of 3,331 cast between them (53%) to Crowley’s 1,564 (47%). Statewide, however, Crowley won handily with 54% of the nearly

Massie family recognized with Century certificates

The descendants of Benjamin Massie were recognized with a Century Family certificate at the Thursday, Nov. 11, meeting of the Blue Hills Genealogical Society, which met at the new Welcome Center adjacent to Pioneer Village Museum west of Cameron. Each receiving a certificate recognizing them as a Century Family were siblings Yvonne Massie Madison and Jerry Massie, the great-grandchildren of Benjamin Massie, who settled in the Sioux Creek area of Barron County in the 1880s. With them to receive the Century Family recognition were Jerry’s three sons, Chad, Kelly and Shane, and Yvonne’s daughter Leslie Madison Olson. Families who have ancestors who were living in Barron County for 100 years or more, and can provide documentation of it, are eligible to receive the Century certificate. The society awards the Pioneer certificate to those families who can provide documentation that their family was living in Barron County by 1871, when the county was formed. The society honors descendants who have researched genealogical information with the applications preserved and stored in the society’s resource room that is now housed at the Welcome Center. In addition to the recognition, a tour was given of the new building that includes a classroom, a research

City Council OKs budget levy, abruptly adjourns amid arguments

The Rice Lake City Council approved the 2027 Budget levy during a public hearing, but discussions over Senior Center funding and agenda items that included reviews of the city administrator performance process and council procedures turned argumentative and led nowhere. 2027 Budget The council met in full on Tuesday, Nov. 10, but no members of the public appeared in person or spoke during the 2027 Budget public hearing. City Administrator SJ Johnson explained discrepancies between the published budget proposal and the budget summary provided in the council’s packet. For example, the published budget reflected a balance between revenues and expenditures of $10.2 million. The summary, however, showed expenditures at $10.65 million. Johnson said the budget as published was the city’s best estimate at the time. Council Member Abbey Fischer asked if she could address adding $10,000 in funding for the Rice Lake Senior Center. But Mayor Harlan Dodge and Council Member Jim Resac expressed concerns about the legalities of altering the budget at the Nov. 10 meeting. Johnson said state code dictates that the proposed budget should be adopted on or before Nov. 14. “If you change what the budget looks like and that's been presented to the public, you're

Rice Lake’s Schmidt signs commitment to UW-Green Bay

For Rice Lake High School senior Addison Schmidt, she’s always dreamed of playing a sport in college. She’s not only going to get to do that, but she’ll be playing two. At a ceremony at Ole Olsen Gym on Wednesday, Nov. 11, Schmidt signed her letter of intent to join both the basketball and volleyball programs at UW-Green Bay. “I’m definitely really excited about it,” Schmidt said. “It’s definitely been one of my goals to play one or even two sports at the next level, so finding the right place for me that just so happened to be DI at two levels is super exciting and fun.” The three-sport standout for the Warriors has competed at the state level and earned all-conference honors in three sports — basketball, volleyball, and track and field. Schmidt wrapped up her high school volleyball career last month as the program’s leader in both kills (1,271) and blocks (396). She has twice earned second team all-conference honors, and this season was named to the first team. Schmidt was a Wisconsin Volleyball Coaches Association All-State honorable mention as a sophomore and junior and this year was an American Volleyball Coaches Association All-Region selection.

Rice Lake senior Ebner excels in mountain biking as repeat state champion

When Quinn Ebner joined the Rice Lake mountain biking team in sixth grade, his focus was on the enjoyment he got from riding and not about becoming a competitive racer. He got his first taste of competition a year later and continued to improve on his way to becoming a multi-year state champion. “I went to my first race in seventh grade,” said Ebner. “I kind of just fell in love with it after that.” Late last month Ebner won the boys varsity race at the Wisconsin Interscholastic Cycling League state championships at Trek Trails in Waterloo, his second consecutive varsity championship. “It meant a lot to me,” said Ebner. “I spent a lot of time training. I would say I do around 20 races a year. State is obviously very big and important one for me and there’s a lot of stress going into it. I just wanted to get everything right.” Ebner won the three-lap race with a time of one hour, 16 minutes, and 16.4 seconds, finishing nearly a minute in front of second place. A year ago Ebner was the champion in 1:13:22.7, with a gap of 1:25 over the runner-up. He was also the freshman
