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

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

Bloomer’s Hartman triplets commit to South Dakota State

BLOOMER — The Bloomer High School girls cross country and track and field teams have had the blessing of having Aliya, Briella and Ciara Hartman on their teams over the years. That blessing will come to a close following next spring as the senior triplets graduate, but will continue at the Division I collegiate level next fall, as the Hartman triplets announced via social media of their commitment to South Dakota State University for both cross country and track and field. The Hartmans wrapped up their stellar cross country career this fall, claiming the Blackhawks’ fourth consecutive sectional and conference titles. Aliya Hartman further put a bow on the Blackhawks cross country season, setting a new state meet record at the Division 1 meet in Wisconsin Rapids and becoming Bloomer’s first individual girls state champion in cross country. She won with a blazing time of 17 minutes and 1.6 seconds, besting the previous record by nearly 25 seconds, as the Blackhawks finished fourth in a highly-competitive Division 1 field. It continued a standout year for Aliya Hartman, who won the 3,200 meter state track title last spring. The Hartmans, along with senior running mate Sophie Strand, all played huge roles

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

Property Committee dims on campus solar array proposal

The Barron County Property Committee, at its Monday, Nov. 9, meeting, indefinitely tabled pursuing a solar array project at UW-Eau Claire — Barron County, opting to keep the green space as is rather than filling it with solar panels to potentially raise funds for the university and county. The committee members had a copy of a Solar Feasibility Study that was prepared by Upper 90, a Centrix Company. According to the study’s executive summary, the county and campus engaged in the firm to evaluate the feasibility of a ground-mounted solar array on undeveloped county-owned land at the campus at 1800 College Drive, Rice Lake. The study was funded by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant. It presented two options, both of which would generate more electricity than the entire campus currently uses in a year. The second option would generate roughly three times campus usage. The study said the array site — east of the main campus — appears workable as it sits away from the Red Cedar River mitigating DNR shoreline/floodplain concerns. It stated that the main obstacles would include relocating a portion of the adjacent disc golf course and installing a security fencing
