No action
on Colby
cemetery
dispute
By Christian Parker
More than a month after a joint meeting with the local cemetery board, there
is no word from the city of Colby or its
attorney on how the city plans to pay for
its share of upkeep and long term maintenance of the municipal cemetery.
At a Nov. 18 meeting between the
Colby Memorial Cemetery Association
(CMCA) and the city of Colby common
council, city attorney Dean Dietrich said
he would report the citys plan once the
council had a chance to meet with him in
closed session to discuss its options.
CMCA is seeking back payments of
$4,730 from 2013 and 2014 for maintenance of the jointly owned cemetery. The
association may also seek a court order,
if necessary, to hold the city legally responsible for the cemetery in the future.
Another payment of $5,287 is due by the
end of 2015.
Meanwhile, the legal bills continue to
accumulate for the city and CMCA.
From January 2014 to October 2015, the
city spent $7,517 on legal services with
the Ruder Ware law firm of Wausau as
part of its ongoing dispute with CMCA.
(These figures do not include Dietrichs
fees for the joint meeting or follow-up services.)

Lions. Participants also received a bag of goodies and were given a chance to pick out free childrens books. See

Whats it worth?
We think its important for the city of Colby to
remember who it works for: the taxpayer.
The city owes $4,700 for past dues to the Colby
Memorial Cemetery Association. As of 2016, the
amount will be $10,000.
So, what does the city do to address this issue?
They hire a Wausau attorney to fight the cemetery
association for over two years, racking up $8,000 in
billable hours.
After a joint meeting with the cemetery board
followed by another closed session, along with
ongoing legal advice and the possibility of hashing the matter out in court, its probably a safe assumption that taxpayers will end up owing Dietrichs firm, Ruder Ware, well over $10,000.
The citys claim is that, with a change in payment structure from an even three-way split to
one based on population, there should be similar
changes to board representation. City officials
may have a good point here and its certainly
worthy of an ongoing discussion but instead of
accepting the parliamentary process for cemetery
decision making, city of Colby representatives
Jim Schmidt and Harland Higley took their ball
and went home, leaving decision making to the
representatives from towns of Colby and Hull.
In the real world, it must be accepted that things
dont always go ones way all the time.
So what has the city accomplished so far?
Theyve cost taxpayers thousands of dollars in legal fees on both sides of the table, theyve caused
the cost of burials in the cemetery to go up for City
of Colby residents, plus they continue to neglect
financial obligations a court will likely say they
must pay in the end anyway.
So, is this charade serving area taxpayers or
merely the egos of those in city government?
We believe its time the city stops playing games
with its public cemetery, pay the bills due and
send Dietrich back to Wausau.
Time to talk
Abbotsfords city council should be commended
for devoting an entire special meeting last week to
reviewing a proposed intergovernmental agreement for running a consolidated fire district.
The other six municipalities exploring the possible merger of area fire and ambulance services
should follow Abbotsfords lead and delve into the
details of this proposal.
So far, the other boards and council have only
had brief discussions following the release of a
13-page sample agreement put together by Larry
Oehmichen, chairman of the seven-member committee exploring the consolidation idea. If the
consolidation committee wants its next meeting
on Jan. 19 to be a productive one, the other entities need to engage in more conversation ahead of
time.
Perhaps it makes the most sense that Abbotsford was the one to get the ball rolling on the discussion. Based on a preliminary funding formula
based on equalized property values, Abbotsford
would pay the biggest single share of the fire districts budget. However, city taxpayers already
pay more for firefighting services than those in
neighboring municipalities, simply because the
city handles all of the utilities and maintenance at
the fire hall. Those costs are split three ways at the
Colby and Dorchester fire departments.
That said, the idea that Abbotsfords representative on the fire districts seven-member board
would get a weighted voted on budget matters
is an interesting one, but it could generate some
pushback from the other municipal partners
who may want equal voting power regardless of
the budget contributions. If the other municipal
boards were wondering what exactly to talk about,
the weighted voting idea sounds like a good conversation-starter.

reporter Christian Parker.

Perspectives
Managing my
expectations
for Star Wars
One of my earliest but foggiest childhood memories is of seeing Jabba the
Hutt on a big movie screen. I was only
three years old when Return of the
Jedi was first released in theaters, but
that image of a fat, grotesque slug sitting in a darkened throne room has
stuck with me for over 30 years.
My parents tell me that E.T was the
first movie they brought me to see in the
theater, which means I would have only
been two years old
for my inaugural
UT FOR
silver screen experience. Im basing this timeline A WALK
on the official release dates listed
for
those
two
movies, 1982 and
1983. This makes
me wonder if my
parents and I are
remembering my
childhood accurately or if I was
just an exceptionally patient and
BY
young child who
could be trusted KEVIN OBRIEN
to sit through a
EDITOR
two-hour feature
film. Theres also
the possibility that I saw these movies
in second-run theaters, which means I
could have been as old as four or five at
the time.
Anyway, the reason for this rambling
journey down memory lane is, of course,
the release of a new Star Wars movie
tomorrow. As a lifelong fanboy, I will be
there in the theater, waiting for my hair
to stand on end as the famous opening
crawl scrolls down the screen. I may
even see it twice in the theater, just because Im that much of geek.
But, as I mentioned earlier in this column, memory is a powerful thing no
matter how flawed or inaccurate. When
the prequels to the original Star Wars
trilogy were released 10 years ago, other
fans and I often felt let down by certain
characters (Jar Jar Binks) and actors
(Hayden Christensen), who we felt ruined our sacred space saga.
The truth is, though, those prequels
could never have lived up to the expectations we had in our collective minds.
My generation of fans grew up watching
and rewatching Stars Wars on home
video and bought all the action figures
our parents could afford. The original
trilogy had plenty of subpar actors
(Mark Hamil as Luke Skywalker) and
silly, cartoon characters (the Ewoks),
but through the awestruck eyes of a
kid, those things are hardly noticeable.
When you add on 10, 20 or 30 years of
time, nostalgia takes over and puts the
originals on a pedestal that no followup could ever reach.
That said, Im still very excited to see
the original cast back in action, with a
new storyline to explore and overanalyze for years to come. As a 36-year-old
man, its impossible to completely recapture the wonder of seeing people fighting each other with lightsabers for the
first time, or attacking a giant Death Star
in outer space, but just getting a taste of
it is well worth the price of a ticket. Oh,
and some popcorn and soda.

think it does need to be weighted.
Fire chief Jody Apfelbeck agreed,
noting that a 28 percent share of the
budget should entitle the city to more
voting power because the others would
not pay in as much.
It can be one-person, one-vote if they
want to split it (equally) seven ways, he
said.
However, even with the city paying
the biggest share of the districts budget, Schwantes and other city officials
believe Abbotsford will still come out
ahead financially by joining the merger.
We have run some preliminary numbers, but theyre very preliminary, he
said. There is a cost savings to the city.
Funding the district based strictly on
property values is not the only option.
The sample agreement provided by
Larry Oehmichen, chairman of the
consolidation committee, also included
a formula that would take population
and the number of inspectable structures into consideration, though that
term is not defined.
For 2016, the city has agreed to pay
the Abbotsford Fire Department about
$61,000 for fire protection. However, that
does not include the cost of utilities
and maintenance at the citys fire and
ambulance hall or the insurance on its
emergency vehicles. That amount came
to $42,000 in 2014, and city officials are
still finalizing this years totals.
In addition, the city makes an annual
payment of $110,890 to pay down a $2.1
million debt on the fire hall.
By comparison, the village of
Dorchester will pay Dorchester Community Emergency Services $49,800
next year for fire protection and the
town of Holton will pay $35,000 to DCES.
The town of Mayville will pay $28,000
to DCES for covering the northern twothirds of the township and $8,000 to
Abby FD for the southern third, for a total of $36,000. The total 2016 budget for
DCES is $112,800.
The Colby Fire Departments 2016
budget totals $146,550, but it does not
spell out how the costs are divided
among the city of Colby and the towns
of Hull and Colby
UNDER THE MICROSCOPE - Abbotsford firefighters and residents closely review copies of a proposed intergovernmental agreement that would govern a consolidated fire and ambulance district. Abbotsfords city council held a
two-hour-plus discussion on the agreement last Wednesday.

time on the big mans lap Saturday at Dorchesters village hall. A couple dozen
kids came through the hall for the annual visit from Santa sponsored by the
Dorchester Lions Club and Dorchester Lionesses, who provided hot dogs and
hot chocolate for Santa fans and their families. A tractor and wagon also provided hay wagon rides around the village.

Abby girls
fall to OwenWithee, 54-36
Falcons record at 4-3
The Abbotsford Girls basketball team travelled to OwenWithee Tuesday and lost, 54-36.
Dylana Schreiner led in scoring for the Falcons, earning 11 points. Erika Budzinski and Ariana Branstiter each
earned six for the team and Jaelyn Friedenfels took five.
Owen outplayed us the whole night offensively and defensively, coach Gary Gunderson said. They forced us to
work hard for any shots and were able to get the shots they
wanted. Hopefully we can rebound from this as we had
been playing well.
The girls will play against the Athens Bluejays at 7:15
p.m. Thursday at home.
