Mile Bluff
headed to court
By eva marie woywod
Mile Bluff Medical Center (MBMC) has filed in Juneau
County Civil Court against three Juneau County municipalities (Elroy, New Lisbon, and Necedah) and in Sauk County
Court against the Village of Lake Delton. That action was
taken last Thursday, July 10, and is an effort by the MBMC
to appeal decisions made by the defendants in denying the
hospital's claim that over 90 percent of the property used by
the clinics in the named municipalities should be considered
exempt from property taxes.
As reported in May of this year, the three Juneau County
municipalities have joined together with the Village of Lake
Delton and are standing firm in denying a claim made by Mile
Bluff Medical Center (MBMC) that if allowed to go through
would result in MBMC side stepping a significant amount of
property taxes for clinics in Elroy, New Lisbon, Necedah, and
Lake Delton.
"We will fight this as long as we can," stated New Lisbon
Mayor Lloyd Chase. That fight is covered under insurance
held by the municipalities through The Wisconsin League of
Municipalities.
"People have to understand that should we lose this, there
will be a direct impact to our budget," stated Chase. "It will
not only impact tax payers but the services we pay for and
provide such as police, fire, ambulance, and public works. It
could mean cuts to programs," he said.
Administrators for the City of Elroy and Necedah agreed
with Chase's comments that if the MBMC wins the appeal,
the impact will be felt by tax payers and the community at
large. Mark Steward, Elroy City Administrator, stated he is
not angry at the hospital and understands that they are just
seeing to their bottom line, as are the municipalities. "I don't
want bad blood and hope we can continue a working relationship with the hospital," he said.
According to MBMC CEO James O'Keefe, he visited and
met with the leaders in Elroy, Necedah, and New Lisbon a
week and a half before the appeal was filed in an effort to let
them know that the hospital would be appealing their decision. Both sides feel they are standing on firm ground, however do admit that many others will be watching to see the
outcome of the appeal process.
As reported on in May of this year, on January 28, 2014 the
City of Elroy, the City of New Lisbon, and the Village of
Necedah all received a hand delivered notice signed by Mile
Bluff Medical Center CEO James O'Keefe. That notice stated
that MBMC was issuing a Notice of Claim and Claim for Recovery of Unlawful Taxes. The claim stated that in February
of 2013 MBMC had issued a property tax exemption to the
accessor requesting property tax exemption under Wisconsin
Statute 70.11 (4m)(a).
The notice referred to the medical clinics in the named municipalities as Rural Health Clinics (RHC). According to the
claims submitted, RHCs are a special type of facility separately certified under the Medicare program that must meet
certain requirements that distinguish RHCs from ordinary
physician clinics. RHCs are
uniquely capable of furnishing
health care services to patients
in rural areas and provide access
to services in areas that have
been identified as having shortages of health care professionals.

oyce Siekert of Mauston is celebrating a very special 65th anniversary this summer. In 1949, the
then 17 year old Joyce Zimmerman, was selected
to be Juneau County's Fairest of the Fair. It was an honor
bestowed on her while she was wearing a dress that her
mother, Gladys, made from two tablecloths for her to
wear on the float where she would portray the average
American housewife, busy working in a kitchen preparing a meal for her family.
"Back then there were no flowers or banners for the
Fairest of the Fair. We didn't get money or scholarships
for school," commented Joyce.
While there may not have been the celebration and
benefits that the more recent Fairest of the Fair winners
receive, one thing was clear as Joyce spoke, the memories
of that moment will always remain a special treasure in
her life.
"The crown they placed on my head was made of cardboard," she said as she chuckled.
While those memories remain dear to Joyce there has
been one thing that has gnawed at her since she was
awarded with the 1949 Juneau County Fairest of the Fair
title, "I want people to know it was on the up and up. One
of the judges happened to have the same last name, Zimmerman, as I did. I think people thought there was favoritism when there wasn't. I didn't even know who he
was, and he was not related to me," she said with emphasis.
Joyce was selected the Fairest of the Fair just one year

MANY HELPED TO LICK LEUKEMIA You may have seen the familiar sight of the
Blackhawk 4-H Club members raising money to help "Fight Leukemia", but why do these members do this
every year? In May 1990, Heather Treml, a member of the Blackhawk 4-H Club, sponsored her first and only
"Lick Leukemia" fundraiser. She died that same month after a four year battle against Leukemia. She was 14
years old and had just graduated with her 8th grade class at St. Patrick's school four days prior. Heather believed a cure would be found and she did not want others to go through what she had. She had thought of
the idea of the suckers and the slogan "Help Lick Leukemia". Twenty four years later, the Blackhawk 4-H
Club continues their annual campaign in her memory. This year they stood outside Festival Foods in Mauston,
Martha's Restaurant, and Miller's Store in Lyndon Station. They raised $650.00 that they donated to the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Heather never wanted to be forgotten and the members of the Blackhawk
4-H Club will continue this in her memory for many more years. Thank you to everyone who donated this
year and in the past 24 years. Look for the familiar wooden suckers next May. You are making an Angel in
heaven smile. Above, members pictured from left to right - Heather Hersil, Daniel Senzig, Zach Lund, Annah
Lund, Hannah Hersil, and Maggie Senzig.

The Elroy City Council meeting on July 8th began with letters from residents concerned about trees that could potentially
be problems for electric lines and homes in their neighborhood. A tree on North Brooklyn Street, which Jamie Ladwig
was sent to check on, the city feels is not a big problem at the
moment. The street department will be checking on trees that
need to come down and follow up with the city administrator.
The Elroy Library has some damage to shingles, it was not
done correctly the first time and now they are coming off of
the roof, the nails were not put in the correct spot to hold them
on properly. The council approved to fix the portion that needs
repairs. Gary OLeary of Getterdun Construction will do the
repairs for 1,260.00 dollars. The Elroy Library owes the city
40,000.00 dollars and the council is seeking payment of
20,000.00 to be paid immediately, the rest will be in increments of 5,000.00 until paid off, or sooner if it is feasible. The
money is from the reconstruction of the library, adding a handicap accessible entry, mold and water in the basement, and the
roof replacement.
The council approved Vierbicher to complete a Certified Survey Map for Bardos and JNJ. Steward stated JNJ Warehousing is the old dairy/creamery right next door to Bardo Custom
Blending. Bardo Custom Blending will be buying the JNJ
Warehousing building and demolishing it and building a new
warehouse and office space. It will be a great addition to the
city and at a very visible location. It will greatly enhance the
downtown, as this is at the northern edge of the downtown
area. The city has offered a developers incentive and will be
applying for a Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation
grant to assist in the project.
Vierbicher is writing a grant for the Bardo project. The state
has changed the rules of when you can start a project, now that
the sale is complete the grant will be written so construction
can start in August and be done in three phases.
The city is looking at borrowing money from the public funds
of Wisconsin State Trust funds or Royal Bank. At the present
time, the State Trust fund rates are 4.63% and Royal Bank is
at 4.65%. The council will ask Ehlers to continue to work on
this with Royal Bank for a loan of $690,000.00. The matter
will be on the next agenda after more discussion with Royal
Bank.
Jim Garvin will be holding a meeting at the Library on July
15th at 6:30 p.m. for groups that hold events at Schultz Park
to get ideas on how the city might want to improve the park
for the events held there.
The council held a discussion on the budget by departments
for the mid point of the year. So far, everyone is on budget except for the commons, as last year bike traffic was down and
it has picked up this year. Steward will check with Dudzinski
as to what the budget for the commons has to be for the year.

School District. At the Monday evening New Lisbon
board meeting, Schankle and
his wife, Stephanie, provided
the board members with a

brief overview on what the
students experienced.
Rusty explained that six female and six male students
from New Lisbon participated in the outdoors summer
program. The students went
through physical skill development and team building
exercises which emphasized
lessons on learning to trust
themselves and others. In
preparation, the youths went
through vigorous physical
development to prepare their
minds and bodies, including
Iron Man push ups, uphill
hiking, walking rope bridges,
rock climbing, and repelling.

State Raffle Charity Fund. We support, both spiritually and
materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. Knights

Taking Refuge
by steVe NOrliNg
Berry picking opened on the refuge on July first. I have not
written about it as the berries ripened late this year. The season lasts until August fifteenth so you still have plenty of time
to pick berries. While blueberries are the number one berry
being picked on the refuge, there are many other berries that
are edible berries found on the refuge. Unfortunately many
of the berries are not ripe during the picking season. Here is
a list of the edible berries found on the refuge. These berries
include raspberries, wild strawberries, blueberries, huckleberries, elderberries, cranberries, dewberries, blackberries,
and choke cherries. One thing is to make sure that the berries
are correctly identified and are edible. There are certain
berries on the refuge that are toxic, so be sure you know what
you are picking. The entire refuge is open to berry picking
and there is a one-gallon per day, per person limit on the
berries. There is also a rule against using rakes to pick berries.
Remember not to block gates or traffic when parking your
vehicle. Roadside parking is permitted along with the designated parking areas. All travel within the refuge must be on
foot. As many of you who have been reading this column
since the beginning know, I usually knew what was going on
with the blueberry crop. This year I must apologize, I neither
checked the blossoms nor have I been out to check the berries.
Too many things got in the way this year and I just could not
find time to get out there. There are burn maps available at
the visitor center so you can at least get an idea where the best
areas are to begin looking.
This years summer interns are definitely a great addition
to the refuge. They will be assisting the Adams Summer
School with the first through third graders. They will be
spending four days helping organize and assist with various
nature related activities. On Friday they will bring the students to the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge on a field trip.
This should be a great week for the youngsters.
Kate and Gretchen have each built displays at the libraries.
Gretchen built a display on aquatic insects at the Necedah Library. Kate built a display on North American bears at the
Mauston library.
This past week Kate did an activity at the Necedah Library
called Backyard Fish. This was an activity to teach youngsters how to cast with a fishing rod and to use games to help
them have fun while learning. After a short introduction and
talk on safety she took the six youngsters on a walk to the
VFW Park. There on the grass, she first let the youngsters just
get used to casting, helping those who were having trouble.
Plastic fish were spread out on the lawn in front of the youngsters and they were to cast out and try to catch these fish.
These fish were specially made for this type of fun. Two different games were played and the youngsters had a ball. At
the end of the session each youngster was given a small prize
for attending and participating.
The time is coming very soon for the years second flight
of the Karner blue butterfly. They usually begin flying in the
last part of July and continue into August. Come on out with
your cameras and get some photos of these very beautiful and
elusive butterflies. The best way to see them is to go to an
area where they are known to frequent and just stand very
still. We had one photographer during the first flight that went
out and set up a tripod. He set up his camera with a long lens
on the tripod. If your first guess is that a Karner came up and
landed on his lens, you are right. He had to disconnect the
camera from the lens and put another lens on it so that he
could take a picture of it on his lens. Believe it or not, the butterfly did not fly away while he was getting ready to take the
photo. I never get that lucky, the butterfly would have waited
until I was just focusing the camera after changing the lens
and then it would fly. Thats why it took me three years to get
my first Karner picture. Since then I have gotten many. So go
on out and good luck.
Until next week, See you at the refuge.
An Outdoorsmans Journal
(Indianhead Chapter).
On the 12th of July the Northwoods Chapter (Florence)
will be hosting their annual Hooked on Fishing event where
they provide a day of fishing, a lunch, and a pole for each kid
that shows up to take home.
On July 21st, at my hometown high school of Poynette, in
the lunch room at 7:00 p.m. several of us will be hosting an
informal get together to start what I believe will be KAMOs
8th chapter or possibly 9th as we are working on another one
in Green Bay, where they are having their second meeting on
the 14th.
I will be at Poynette and hope to see a bunch of friends and
family as well as new friends.
Folks its happening, KAMO is going to become a force in
getting our Wisconsin kids back into the outdoors, we need
you! Sunset
