BY TRACY FOLZ
At the Kiel City Council meeting on
Sept. 27, the council and Mayor Mike
Steinhardt accepted Chief David Funk-
houser’s notice of retirement.
“Thank you for 17 years of ser-
vice. It has been a great trip with you
here,” Steinhardt said. Alderman John
Brocker made the motion to accept the
retirement and said, “Thank you for
your exemplary performance during
your tenure.” Kathy Schuette second-
ed the motion and added, “Yes, with
great thanks to Chief Funkouser.”
Chief Funkhouser’s last day will be
Jan. 10, 2023.
In Chief Funkhouser’s retirement
notice to the city, he thanked the city.
“Thank you for giving me the oppor-
tunity in 2005 to lead your Police
Department. I have worked in multiple
communities over my 34-year career,
and I can truly say that the City of Kiel
is, by far, the best. The employees of
the City of Kiel are top notch, and we
are fortunate to have such an awe-
some team working for our commu-
nity. The 17 years I have served Kiel
have been the best years of my career.
When I reflect and realize what we
accomplished, I am truly amazed by
not only the quality of professional
service provided, but by technology
advancements, training, equipment
and accreditation, too. I am so proud
of the work our KLPD team has done
and continues to do for us. Our team is
amazing and many times I hear about
what a great job our Police Depart-
ment does not only from our own
citizens, but from many of my peers
in our profession outside of our city.”
Christopher Brey, president of the
Kiel Professional Police Association
read a letter sent to the City of Kiel City
Council supporting Captain Joseph
Jeanty for the chief of police opening
in January and praising Chief Funk-
houser for his service to the commu-
nity. “To the members of the City of
Kiel City Council: It is my pleasure in
writing this letter to show support for
the decision to appoint Capt. Joseph
Jeanty as the next chief of police for
the City of Kiel Police Department.

VFW AND AUXILIARY

Buddy Poppies distributed Friday

Members of Veterans of Foreign
Wars Post 3153 and its Auxiliary will
be distributing Buddy Poppies on Fri-
day, Oct. 7.
The poppies will be available at
Walmart, Kwik Trip, various banks
and other businesses located in Chil-
ton and at Blattner’s Piggly Wiggly in
New Holstein.
Everyone is encouraged to stop,
donate and get a Buddy Poppy to help
honor the memory of those who have
made the ultimate sacrifice.
“What better way to help our vet-
erans in the community than by dis-
tributing this little flower of remem-
brance?”
In 1953, President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower signed legislation officially
naming Nov. 11 as Veterans Day, a
day set aside to reflect and remem-
ber those who sacrificed their lives
for the freedoms and values enjoyed
today. It is a day which recognizes
those military veterans who guarded
and protected those freedoms and
values, a day on which the hope and
faith of millions around the world are
sustained by the continued service
rendered by millions of veterans liv-
ing today.
“Please support our veterans by Chilton Mayor Tom Reinl helps kick off the Buddy Poppy effort with Auxiliary President Kathy Ott and Buddy Poppy Chairperson
donating Friday, Oct. 7.” Betty Schnell. RACHAEL SIEHS PHOTO

But, her happiness would not last
for long. Luna and her neighbors
faced a very severe drought. Their
only water source was a stream
going through the center of their
village. They waited days and days
for rain, but the rain never came.
Their flowers were dying, the ani-
mals were dying from thirst, and the
villagers were all dehydrated.
As there was no rain, the stream
started to slowly dry up. One night

she was digging, she saw the slight-
est trickle of water. She called her
friends to help her dig, and suddenly
there was the underground river.
Her attitude of not giving up had
saved their village.
“Never give up!” Luna advised, as
her village members thanked her.
Now their village will never run
short of water, and whenever they
face problems they never give up,

Fight long, boring car rides

BY JACK SHEPHERD (GRADE 12)
Have you ever been on a really
long car drive? Have you ever driven
across the country in a cramped car?
If so, then you understand the men-
tal and physical anguish.
First boredom kicks in. Next your
back starts to hurt. Then being in
a cramped car makes you angry. I
recently went on a 20+ hour long car
trip from Wisconsin to North Caro-
lina. There are some solutions to the
boredom factor.
For me, the most beneficial thing
to do to cure boredom was to listen
to podcasts. For other people, there
may be alternate forms of enter-
tainment that would work for a
while, such as playing the alphabet
Thanks for supporting the Stockbridge Spirit!
game. The alphabet game is played
by looking out of the window and
finding words on buildings or bill-
boards that start with the letter A,
then the letter B, etc. The first per-
son to complete the alphabet wins.
Also, just looking out the win-
dow and appreciating the passing
landscape works for some people.
To conquer the discomfort, bring a
pillow. I don’t really have a solution
to the problem of an overcrowded
vehicle.
I will suggest that if your vehicle
is already cramped, don’t bring the
family dog along; find a dog sitter
for your pet while you go on vaca-
tion. I hope these tips will help you
with your next long car ride.

KIEL
COMMUNITY EVENT BOARD OF EDUCATION

Public comments given

at Kiel Board meeting
BY TRACY FOLZ
During the Kiel Area School District
Board meeting on Sept. 28, 2022,
several community members spoke
during the public commentary.
Tony Johannes spoke first. “There
is an ancient curse that goes ‘May
you live in interesting times.’ For
our Kiel School District, the past
five to five and a half years have
been interesting. Whether it was a
referendum or pandemic or School
Board race or threats of violence, our
community has arguably seen it all.
Through all of this I am certain there
is no one I would rather have leading
this district than Dr. (Brad) Ebert.
Dr Ebert’s leadership is based on

throughout the event. RACHAEL SIEHS PHOTOS attends the after-school events from

tournaments.
“Dr. Ebert makes sure the staff is
valued and heard resulting in him
earning their respect. He has reached
out to strengthen the district’s rela-
tionships with area businesses and
earn the support of their leaders. In
fact, just last week, it was pointed
out that Dr. Ebert keeps hitting home
runs for Kiel schools. Dr. Ebert was
even able to bring our community
together in support in building the
athletic field and the Performing
Arts Center. These additions have
become the unquestioned centers of
our community.
“The financial status of the district
is the best it has been in over a decade.
Enrollment is up and those yearly
deficits have changed in a fund bal-
ance that is nearly double. This now
allows Kiel to target extra money
where it is needed the most. Starting
the Between the Lakes Academy and
e-school and moving the district to
a self-funding market for healthcare
are some of the many changes that
Dr. Ebert undertook to improve our
financial situation. Academically our
elementary and middle schools are
amongst the best in our area. When
our high school struggled with the
pandemic, Dr. Ebert did not shrink
from the challenge. He, along with
his admin team, teachers and School
Board members implemented a plan
which improved the learning for all
our students in the High School. We
are just a few weeks away from see-
ing the fruits of their labor.
“For most people in Kiel, such

Schneider (box accordion, sax, trumpet and vocals). ever, for the Tri-County Citizens,
this resulted in an effort to remove
Dr. Ebert from his position. To quote
a movie, ‘Inconceivable!’ I urge this
HONORED
board to turn away from the politics
and find a way to bring it back to the
kids and to student learning. There
were several issues that came up in
the retreat.
“One of the issues were com-
plaints from the community. Writ-
ten responses are part of that pro-
cess. I received these responses from
those of you who wrote them and
thank you for that, but I have to
say what was surfaced in the retreat
when those topics came up doesn’t
match what was written and what
was given and provided as part of
the process. This does not instill a
lot of trust. There is a discrepancy in
information that is provided to the
community and to the complainants
and what you are willing to provide
to your board in closed doors. I don’t
find it trustworthy and I don’t find
it satisfactory and I don’t know if it
can be reconciled. For that reason, I
urge you as a board to proceed with
the board complaint process beyond
steps four, five and beyond and to
pursue some of these actions such as
a removal of officer-ship and cen-
sure.
“I would also like to bring up a
letter that surfaced in the paper and
an e-mail that was sent to all of you.
This letter somehow lays the blame
for all the chaos that ensued in May
at the feet of the district and some-
how Dr. Ebert. It makes a very direct
threat to Dr. Ebert’s employment.
According to this letter the bomb
threats and death threats fees and
services is somehow the fault of this
district and that the district owes
everyone an explanation of how
everything got so out of control. This
is perplexing to me. It’s clear that the
district didn’t insight a media frenzy
and the district didn’t employ a law
firm and Dr. Ebert didn’t insight a
media circus to earn his demotion.
This is the law firm, WILL, that is an
institute for law, liberty and those
who employ to put this in motion
and the chaos that ensued can be laid
at their feet and is attributed to what
they put into motion. This is another
attempt at divisive politics. Just like
all the hot election topics from April.
The pornography in the schools, the
CRT, the 71 teachers who signed a
letter and spoke out against it. None
of it was found. What does it accom-
plish?
“For some of you who are in touch
with some of those people who
authored this letter, do you think you
represent them? Please stop. Stop
pushing these politically divisive
agendas into the district. They don’t
have a place and they don’t serve the
students. The goal isn’t to take over
the board or beat each other up. You
need to get back on track and sup-
port your administrator.”

Hartwig also stated in the release
that Gardner, her passengers and
the passenger in the Cadillac did not

dent set before him. In conclusion,
I, along with all members of the Kiel
Professional Police Association fully
support this appointment made by
members of the City Council. With
the leadership of Capt. Jeanty, we
will continue to grow, learn and find
better ways to serve the citizens that
reside in the ‘Little city that does big
things.’”
During the meeting, Captain Jean-
ty was approved for appointment
of chief of police beginning Jan. 11,
2023. Chief Funkhouser showed
support for Captain Jeanty’s pro-
motion to chief of police. “Recall, I
told both the City Council and Police
and Fire Committee when Captain
Jeanty was promoted to second in
command of the Police Department
that they were not only selecting the
next captain of the Police Depart-
ment but the next chief of police. too.
Since he was promoted to captain
more than ready to take over the Kiel
Police Department and you can be
assured he is more than qualified to
do so.”
The council approved the same
process that was used when Cap-
tain Jeanty was appointed captain
four years ago to fill that position.
They will post internally and conduct
interviews. If no qualified candidates
are found, then they will post exter-
nally. “We have some very qualified
candidates internally,” Mayor Stein-
hardt stated.
In other business, the council
approved reservations for future
vehicle purchases. With a long build
time for vehicles, some vehicles will
not be ready for 2-1/2 years or lon-
ger. The city needs to get the reser-
vations in for vehicles to be placed
in line. The Kiel Police Department
squad and upfitting is in the 2023
budget. The other vehicles approved
are a fire engine (Kiel Fire Depart-
ment), replacement ambulance or
chassis (Kiel Ambulance Service) and
a single axle dump truck (Depart-
ment of Public Works and Kiel Utili-
ties.)

Assembly which is held (weather permitting) on the athletic field. In these scenes
(clockwise from upper left) Philip Casper helped the senior team win the tug of war,
the High School band played, a three-legged race was part of a larger relay event, a
girl prepared to catch an incoming water balloon as part of the relay, and the High

Items to be placed on a future
agenda for consideration include
the current administrative descrip-

cerns and questions of the council
on existing position descriptions and
the organizational chart; concerns of
administrative staff as to the organi-

and community concerns related to
the organizational chart and posi-

The Republican Party of Calumet

Guest speakers were State Sena-

Offense erupts in 2nd half for 50-6 victory
BY CRAIG HOFFMAN
After crawling to a 14-6 halftime
lead, the Chilton Tiger offense erupt-
ed for 36 unanswered points in the
second half and the Tigers rolled to
an easy 50-6 Homecoming football
victory over Brillion Friday night at
Morrissey Field.
Quarterback Max Mueller ran for
three TD’s and threw to Ryan Pier-

Jared Gehl and Slaytt Nolan also
scored for Chilton who remained tied
with Two Rivers at 5-0 in the East-
ern Wisconsin Conference with two
games left to play. Chilton will play at
Manitowoc Roncalli (0-5) next Friday
before returning home for the regular
season finale and the EWC title at
stake against Two Rivers in 2 weeks.
Brillion had first-and-goal at the
Chilton five-yard line on the open-

defense held and on fourth-and-goal

Lions the end zone.

Chilton went to its bag of tricks
on its first possession as Mueller hit
Halbach on a short pass. Halbach
then pitched to a trailing Gehl and
he romped 57 yards to the Lion seven
where Mueller took it in from there
for a 7-0 lead.
Halbach continued his string of
interceptions picking off Lion quar-
terback Joseph Shimek twice. Grant
Mueller and Brandon Heimann each
recovered Brillion fumbles.
“Brillion came out ready for us,”

“We need to get a big lead early and

It’s been a short, but memorable
football series between Kiel and the
Kohler/Sheboygan Lutheran/She-
boygan Christian tri-op program,
a series filled with tons of offense.
The two squads didn’t disappoint
last week either.
With what may be a Kiel record
for combined total points in a game
(98), the Raiders used a strong first
half to forge a big lead and then held
off hard-charging KLC for a 56-42
win at Kohler’s Ebben Field last Fri-
day night.
This was the third meeting between
the two programs since KLC joined
the conference for football in 2020.
The two previous games, won by
KLC, were 50-42 and 42-28.

21-6. Following a KLC score, Zorn
took the ensuing kickoff and ran
75 yards for his second touchdown
making it 28-12 Kiel and just for
fun, Zorn caught another pass from
Faust just before halftime extending
the lead to 35-12 and another Gosse
TD would make it 42-12 Raiders at
the break.
Fourth quarter scores from Faust
and the defense closed things out
as Braden Aprill picked off a Breit-

49-7 win means happy Homecoming for NH

BY MARK SHERRY
New Holstein High School’s foot-
ball team did not let Homecoming
Week distract them, nor did it let
Manitowoc Roncalli think it had any
chance to pick up its first Eastern
Wisconsin Conference win on Friday
night.
Scoring on its first five possessions
of the first half, the Huskies built a
35-0 halftime lead and cruised to a
49-7 win against the Jets.
“We just did our job,” Husky coach
Matt Rupp said. “Build the wall—our
focus was to stop (Brayden) Reimer.
I think we executed the plan on both
sides of the ball.”
The three-headed offensive mon-
ster for the Huskies was comprised of
Luke Graf, Brice Haendel and Mason
Buteyn. Graf rushed for a game-
high 135 yards on just eight carries
and scored four touchdowns. Buteyn
gained 115 yards on 12 carries—all in
the first half—and had a touchdown.
Haendel had a solid 70 yards on 10
carries and scored a rushing touch-
down and one on an 18-yard inter-
ception return in the third quarter.
The Jets tried an onside kick to start
the game but it failed, giving New
Holstein the ball on the Jet 45-yard
line. A 24-yard run by Buteyn set
up Graf’s 8-yard TD run, and the Marcus Franzen (25) used the big protective club on his right hand to help bring down Roncalli’s quarterback in Friday’s game.

Chasing all 43 species of waterfowl

While I have shot a decent num-
ber of Canada geese, I would never
consider myself much of a waterfowl
hunter.
I can count the number of in-
flight ducks I have downed by using
(maybe) the fingers on both hands,
but even then I might be embellish-
ing the tally.
My reasons for the low duck har-
vest include being a lousy wing-
shooter and my limited hunts over
decoys. Actually, we could probably
eliminate the second reason.
Mark Peterson, on the other
hand, is my polar opposite. Being an
accomplished waterfowler, he set his
sights on taking all 43 recognized
species of waterfowl that call North
America home.
The quest, in the pandemic year of
2020, would require dedication, per-
severance and lots of luck.
Peterson chronicled his pur-
suit in the December 2021 issue of
Petersen’s Hunting. He kicked off his
hunt with his father Earl in tow, his
companion for much of this season’s
wild ride.
Because Canada’s borders were
completely closed to U.S. citizens,
the hunt started in Cold Bay, Alaska.
The eight species he checked off his
list from that location were cack-
ling geese, red-breasted merganser,
mallard, Aleutian greenwing teal,
bufflehead, cinnamon goldeneye,
harlequin and brant.

Fall colors spread in state

It’s fall, but not a lot of fall colors
around here; up “north” I hear it to
be almost peak.
A few days ago my Facebook mem-
ory revealed a nice photo from two
years ago of bright fall colors along
our woods. Not so much this year;
I’m sure they’ll be showing them-
selves pretty soon.
This week was more comfortable
weather-wise and warm enough to
see the bees and wasps back at it! I
have noticed many different migrat-
ing warblers fluttering among the
trees but they’ll never hold still long
enough to see with the binoculars
much less focusing a camera on
them for a positive ID. Fall migra-
tion is usually void of the bright col-
ors unlike during spring migration.
Another reason to fast forward to
spring!
I was happy to see a pair of wood
ducks on the mud pond this week.
They were a little spooky as I drove
past with the golf cart and certainly
didn’t want to scare them off, so no
picture. One day it was so nice and
warm that at the Nest on the pond
I saw 13 painted turtles sunning
themselves on the floating logs. I
even counted them twice to be sure I
wasn’t seeing doubles.

looking for an uncommon Bohemian.
I clicked away taking pictures in
hopes of getting a least one good one
but when I got in the house to look at
them, one stood out having a more

many field guide books—nothing. I
then contacted a fellow knowledge-

process of overall favorite curds via
a QR code.
“We received so much great feed-
back after the 2021 Curd Crawl that
we knew right away it would be an
annual fundraiser for us,” Executive
Director Ashley Bender said. “It’s a
fun, tasty way to support United Way
and the Manitowoc County commu-
nity. Everyone is encouraged to dress
cheesy and share their photos using
#CurdCrawl2022!”
Each wristband is $10 and includes
10 free raffle tickets. Wristbands,
extra raffle tickets and “I Got Cheesy”
stickers can be purchased online and
picked up at United Way or purchased

United Way staff and volunteers
will kick off the Curd Crawl at The
Fat Seagull at 2:30 p.m. Participants
are welcome to join for last-min-
ute purchases although participants
can start the Crawl at any establish-
ment and in any order. Just remember
to keep crawling—there are seven
establishments (and raffle baskets)
to visit in the five-hour time frame.
Learn more at UnitedWayManito-
wocCounty.org.
Proceeds from this fundraiser ben-
efit United Way’s Community Action

Lakeland, FVTC agreement benefits students

Longtime partners Fox Valley Tech-
nical College and Lakeland University
have entered into new agreements
that will solidify their decades-long
relationship.
Lakeland relocated its Fox Cities
Center to Fox Valley Technical Col-
lege’s Appleton campus. The transi-
tion occurred this summer in time for
classes this fall.
Lakeland and FVTC have also signed
an agreement that creates a pathway
for students who earn an Associate
of Arts or Associate of Science degree
in Liberal Arts at FVTC to transfer to
Lakeland with junior standing and
apply all their credits toward a Lake-
land Bachelor’s Degree.
The pathway agreement was signed
by FVTC President Chris Matheny,
Ph.D., and Lakeland Vice President
for Academic Affairs Joshua Kutney,
D.B.A., at FVTC’s Appleton campus.
Lakeland’s space at FVTC, locat-
ed just inside Entrance 15, will also
include an office presence and access
to several other classrooms during
the spring, fall and summer semes-
ters.
Over the past 2-1/2 years, a total
of 633 students have taken classes
through Lakeland’s Fox Cities Center
at its current location, 2320 Industrial
Dr. in Neenah. That total includes 227
students who graduated from FVTC.
“Fox Valley Technical College is our
top transfer partner, which is one of
many reasons why this move makes
sense,” said Lakeland University
President Beth Borgen, noting that
Lakeland has offered classes in the
Fox Cities since 1982. “For many of
our students, they will be able to con-
tinue on the pathway to a Bachelor’s
Degree at a campus that already feels
like home.”
Matheny pointed out that the
shared space agreement is a natural
extension of articulation agreements
already in place between the two col-

leges. “Having a trusted partner like
Lakeland on our campus provides
the opportunity for a student to start
here and then seamlessly transition
to a Bachelor’s Degree and beyond in
a place they know and are comfort-
able with,” Matheny said.
“FVTC students will be able to con-
nect with and explore baccalaureate
degree completion options without
leaving our Appleton campus. They
will have convenient access to both
their FVTC advisors and future Lake-
land faculty and staff who can help
coordinate the educational journey
that best fits that student and their
career interests.”
FVTC received approval from the
University of Wisconsin Board of
Regents to offer the two-year liberal
arts Associate of Science (A.S.) and
Associate of Arts (A.A.) degrees.
With HLC’s approval, these degrees
will allow students to easily transfer
to Lakeland with junior standing and
apply all their credits toward a Lake-
land Bachelor’s Degree. This HLC
option is an extension of numerous
two-plus-two articulation agree-
ments already in place with Lakeland.
“FVTC and Lakeland have a long
history of providing innovative edu-
cational opportunities to students
in our region,” Matheny said. “Our
graduates have long been welcomed
with open arms at Lakeland. So much
so, we decided to explore how to
make it even easier for our graduates
to continue their education.
“For many years, FVTC and Lake-
land have shared a vision for a more
educated New North region and a
passion for creating easier access for
students to achieve their educational
goals. We are happy to further our
partnership by welcoming them to
our campus and creating a home for
both Lakeland and FVTC students
right here.”
Borgen said the HLC-pending asso-
ciate degrees position FVTC to further
enhance the educational options pro-
vided to the community, including
pathways that allow students to earn
credit for workplace learning through
Lakeland’s award-winning Coopera-
tive Education program.
“It’s exciting to see private and
public institutions working togeth-
er for a common good—helping our
students achieve their educational
goals while aligning with regional
workforce development needs,” Bor-
gen said. “This new level of access
benefits students and their families,
local schools and Wisconsin com-
munities.”
Lakeland offers more than a dozen
Bachelor’s Degree programs and four
Master’s Degree programs in the Fox
Cities. Many degrees and classes are
available online.

Holsum Irish Dairy recognized for energy program

American Biogas Council (ABC) has
recognized several anaerobic digester
projects that have been pushing the
industry forward in their ambitious
efforts.
Biogas systems, which use anaero-
bic digestion to recycle organic mate-
rial into renewable energy and soil
products, can produce 24 hours a day
and 365 days a year with 95 percent
reliability.
At the 2022 BIOGAS AMERICAS
conference in late May, 55 projects
were celebrated by ABC for their lon-
gevity in operation, with 41 projects
recognized for more than 10 years in
operation and 14 projects operating
for five years or more.
DVO, ConAgra, CDM Smith and CH4
Biogas were acknowledged for each
having a digester project in operation
for more than 10 years. Cumulatively,
these 55 systems have provided near-
ly 700 years of non-stop service.
“Biogas systems give farmers the
opportunity to sustainably recycle
farm waste into sustainable fertil-
izer, while also producing a reliable
stream of renewable biogas and car-
bon reduction,” said Patrick Serfass,
executive director, ABC. “By recog-
nizing the resilience of these long-
time operating anaerobic digesters,
we hope more organic waste genera-
tors like farms, food manufacturing
and wastewater facilities will recog-
nize the multitude of economic, envi-
ronmental and energy benefits biogas
systems offer to them and their com-
munities.”
Industry pioneer and long standing
leader DVO, North America’s largest
biogas company, was recognized for
52 projects that have been in opera-
tion for at least five years across the
U.S. More than half of these projects
have been in operation for more than
a decade and DVO’s work spans over
40 years. DVO designs and installs its
robust and high-performing Two-
Stage Linear Vortex anaerobic digest-
er systems domestically and interna-
tionally.

many of our projects this year and
appreciate the group’s commitment
to highlighting the environmental
and societal impact that digesters are
making on dairy farms every day,”
said Stephen Dvorak, president, DVO.
“We work together with our part-
ners to help farmers meet and exceed
their sustainability and environmen-
tal stewardship goals. Turning waste
into power has endless benefits for
all of us.”
Two notable projects that were
selected for ABC Longevity Awards
include:
Herrema Dairy, located in Fair
Oaks, Indiana has been reaping the
benefits of an installed DVO digester
since 2002. Since that time, 10 other
farms in the local area have installed
or converted to a DVO digester.
In 2017, Herrema expanded its DVO
digester. Today, DVO’s digesters are
turning the manure from more than
40,000 cows in Fair Oaks—along
with hog manure—into a renewable
energy source.
Holsum Irish Dairy in Hilbert
worked with DVO to install its first
digester in the early 2000s. Years
later, the owners built a second
farm—Holsum Elm Dairy—nearby
and installed another DVO digester.
Fast forward 20 years, DVO is now
back at Irish Dairy and expanding its
original digester to create renewable
natural gas from its 4,000 cows.
Compared to other renewable ener-
gy solutions, which are needed but
are intermittent, biogas systems offer
reliable and complementary perfor-
mance to meet a variety of American
needs including energy, recycling,
environmental protection and more.
Today, the U.S. has 2,300 operat-
ing biogas systems in all 50 states.
More than 300 of these are located on
farms, but only about 15 percent of
the potential for the biogas industry
in the U.S. has been realized.
According to Biogas Opportunities
Roadmap jointly released from the
U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,
and the U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture, at least 15,000 new systems
still can be built, which would help
reduce carbon emissions, displace
fossil fuels, recycle organic waste and
replace synthetic fertilizers with the
macro and micronutrients already
present in waste.
On farms in particular, anaerobic
digesters create a closed-loop sys-
tem. They take organic waste, like
manure, and produce domestic
renewable energy that reduces meth-
ane and greenhouse gas emissions
that would otherwise be released into
the atmosphere. The renewable ener-
gy supports the farm and community
and reduce odor and fertilizer needs.

Joanne Thiel
Joanne Clara Thiel, 84 of Hilbert
died on Thursday, Sept. 29, 2022 at
Theda Care Region Medical Center in
Appleton.
She was born May 6, 1938 in Chil-
ton, daughter of the late Arnold and
Erna (Behnke) Heimann.
She married the love of her life,
Daniel Thiel on June 6, 1959 at St.
Mary Catholic Church in Chilton and
the couple farmed together in the
St. John area until their retirement.
It was during this time she raised
her four children and tended to her
brood of chickens. She also worked
at Chilton Metal Products and in the
ASCS office in the courthouse. Her
favorite job, however, was babysit-
ting and spoiling all of her grand-
children.
She was a member of St. John
Catholic Church in St. John where she
sang in the choir and was active with
the Christian Women. She was also
a long time member of the Catholic
Knights, never missed a Milwaukee
Brewer game and was well known
for her delicious peanut squares.
She looked forward to gambling
trips with her dear friends Dorothy
Richart and Patsy Woelfel where she
looked forward to games of blackjack
so she could visit with others and
make new friends.

Celebrating week
for newspapers
This week (Oct. 2 to 8) is National Newspaper
Week and it is a good time to reflect on the role of
newspapers in society in 2022.
Community newspapers are often so busy toot-
ing the horns of people and things in their com-
munity that they never do it for themselves. Brett
Wesner, chair of the National Newspaper Asso-
ciation, helps with that this week when he wrote,
“Newspaper reporting and content have never
been more relevant.”
Wesner added, “We at NNA see it in our daily
government affairs work with members of Con-
gress, who almost uniformly admire their local
community papers regardless of how they might
feel about the national press. We see it in the
example of the civic leaders in Mineral Wells,
Texas who were so distraught over the closing of
their newspaper that they reached out to Jeremy
Gulban and his CherryRoad group to open one.
That he did, as he has in other communities. And
these examples of relevance are borne out by the
hard numbers.
“In March, the National Newspapers Associa-
tion and NNA Foundation commissioned a survey
of readers from across the country, conducted
by the highly regarded Susquehanna Polling and
Research team. The results confirmed our daily
experiences. The study found local newspapers as
the most trusted source when it comes to learning
about candidates for public office. On a 10-point
scale (with 10 being the “highest”), local news-
papers are rated a 7.38, higher than TV stations
(6.45), radio (5.58), political mailings (4.63) or
social media platforms (2.65). And our trustwor-
thiness is growing. Compare this year’s results
to our 2019 study, when on the issue of trust-
worthiness, community newspapers represented
a more trusted news source (5.77 on a 10-point
scale) than other news sources, rating higher than
national network TV news (5.13), cable TV news
shows (4.60) and all others. Social media sources
like Twitter or Facebook were rated lowest, at 2.92.
“The study confirms there is a strong correla-
tion between those who read community news-
papers and those who cast ballots in elections. A
combined 96 percent of readers of local newspa-
pers say they plan to vote this November—either
‘very’ or ‘somewhat likely.’”
Wesner added, “A combined 77 percent of
respondents say they read a newspaper that cov-
ers their local community (a nice increase from
a 65 percent average, 2017-2019), consumed via
printed edition and online edition.... The difficulty,
as most in the industry realize, is not in the rel-
evance of our content, but in our revenue models.
Most local newspapers are experimenting with
technology to enhance our readers’ experience
and provide new ways for our advertisers to reach
our still-strong audience, including newsletters,
video, e-editions and social media publishing,
both for our own publications as well as our
advertisers. Too many have written the obituary of
the print newspaper when, instead, they should be
supporting its mission.”
When it comes to relevance in 2022, Wesner
said, “We have that hands down.” —Mark Sherry

Tale of 2 football coaches
Two Wisconsin football coaches are in the news
this week for very different reasons.
Last week I received a press release pointing out
that Fond du Lac St. Mary Springs football coach
Bob Hyland is closing in on his 500th win.
Last Friday the Ledgers beat Campbellsport
relatively easily to give Hyland his 499th win.

Campbellsport 42-13, you know Hyland has a
good squad again this year—but that is noth-
ing new. You don’t get to 500 wins by having bad
teams.
Hyland’s record and accomplishments are
nothing short of remarkable.
For starters, he has been coaching at Springs
for over 50 years. That alone is incredible. He is
currently the second most winning active high
school football coach in the U.S.
Hyland is a graduate of North Dakota State
University. As a football player there, the teams
on which he played won two Division II national
championships and he was named the NCAA Divi-
sion II offensive lineman of the year.
He took his skills and knowledge to St. Mary
Springs in 1971 and took over a struggling foot-
ball program. There haven’t been many struggles
since at Springs.
The press release I received said, “Coaching
every play with the same level of intensity and
importance, Hyland reinforces the importance
of preparation, honesty and focus with all his
players. He also expects his players to uphold
the school’s core values of faith, respect, leader-
ship, community, responsibility and learning. The
average GPA for the Academy’s football team is
3.38.
“With a career spanning 52 years and counting,
Coach Hyland’s impact both on and off the field
is beyond inspirational.... As countless alumni
attest, the lessons learned on the field helped to
prepare them for life, shaping them into faith-
filled, servant leaders.”
Stacey Akey, system president at St. Mary
Springs Academy, said, “At SMSA, Coach Hyland
is so much more than a winning coach—he is a
mentor, a leader and a legend.”
There are some bittersweet connections
COLUMN
Class of 1977 provides example
As we continue to try to enhance our school
spirit in our community and as we enter Home-
coming Week (which is this week), I have some-
thing to share that was very unique and I believe
worth mentioning to the community.
Those of you who were at the Friday night
football game featuring Kiel and Two Rivers, you
may have witnessed this, and for those of you
who were not there, I believe it is certainly worth
sharing.
The graduating class of 1977 chose to make a
Kiel sporting event and facility tour part of their
class reunion plans. The entire class reunion
showed up to the game on Friday night and they
were loud, enthusiastic, full of school spirit and
had a message to spread. They provided a great
lesson to all of us, including the Kiel student
body sitting directly in front of them. I believe
the message that they were sharing was, “Once a
Raider, always a Raider.”
I would like to invite and encourage any future
class reunions to make a Kiel school event part of
their plans; collaboratively, we can help create a
wonderful experience for past graduating classes.
The class of ‘77 showed everyone how much fun
it can be. They came equipped with copies of the
school song and passed them out to the crowd.
I’d like to help them spread their message by
sharing just a few of the lines from the school
song (below) that many of us can take and use to
spread positivity and support around our schools
and community.
We’re gonna win another game this time (shows
the history and tradition that we honor by show-
ing up and cheering on our students at their
events and also allows us to thank those that

between the Fond du Lac school and the Tri-
County News area. Over the years some families
of excellent football players/athletes who lived
in the New Holstein School District chose to send
their children to Springs where they had great
success on and off the field. During some of those
years New Holstein also had very good teams, and
I remain convinced to this day that there might
be a gold football or two in the NHHS trophy case
had those players gone to NHHS. Yet at the same
time, I’m happy for the success and the Christian
education those young men received at Springs.
Hyland is likely to pick up win #500 this Satur-
day in a 7 p.m. game at Lomira.
Meanwhile, I was little stunned by the news
which broke Sunday that Wisconsin head coach
Paul Chryst was suddenly out of a job.
I never met Chryst but in watching or listen-
ing to his interviews he seems like a very good
man. He was born in Madison and played for the
Badgers. As its head coach over seven-plus sea-
sons, he had a record of 67-26. He won 10 games
or more in four of his first five seasons with the
Badgers, winning a Cotton Bowl, an Orange Bowl
and three Big Ten West Division titles. He contin-
ued the success that other Badger coaches built
before him.
But major college football is a “what have you
done for me lately” deal, and lately it hasn’t been
good. Wisconsin was 4-3 in the shortened 2020
season, started slow last year but still finished
9-4, and this year is 2-3 after Saturday’s ugly
34-10 loss to Illinois in Madison.
While I’m excited to see what Jim Leonhard
can do with the rest of this season, I feel bad for
Chryst (although he is getting an $11 million con-
tract buyout). He can walk away with his head
held high for the job he did with the Badgers.

worked so hard in the past to make our schools
and community a great place to be).
And for the high school that we love so well
(speaks to the Raider pride that all of us should
show in as many ways as possible; examples
could include wearing purple, offering to help
around our schools, or sharing and focusing on
the positives about our schools and community).
For the Raiders we will yell and yell and yell
(shows that we cheer on our classmates, friends,
staff and fellow community members as they do
their best in the classroom, on the field or in the
community).
And then we’ll fight, fight, fight for every score
(this shows the spirit that we have to continue
to try to be the very best that we can be in our
schools and community and the resiliency that we
show when it is needed).
As we continue to move through Homecoming
Week, let’s remember that all of us can contribute
to our success by doing some of the simple things
mentioned above.
Thank you Class of ‘77 for teaching all of us
these very important lessons.
Go Raiders!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dissecting election outlook
To the editor:
With some Wisconsin voters
starting to cast absentee ballots
within a few days for the Nov. 8
election, there are a few crucial fac-
tors at stake.
One is whether Republicans will
have a veto-proof majority of 22 in
the State Senate and 66 in the State
Assembly in case Gov. Tony Evers is
re-elected. Unless there is a major
voter upheaval, most indications are
that they are assured of 21 seats in
the Senate and 63 in the Assembly.
What Republicans will continue
pushing, especially if Tim Michels
becomes governor, are the claim
of “voting fraud” and the call for
“election integrity” in the state.
They have already pursued that in
the recent endeavor headed by for-
mer Supreme Court justice Michael
Gableman. This has cost state tax-
payers well over $1 million without
uncovering any evidence of wide-
spread fraud. How State Assem-
bly Speaker Robin Vos was able to
authorize such an expenditure with-
out approval of the full Legislature
remains a mystery.
At the start, it was noted that
Gableman seldom voted in the pre-
vious decade. He admitted to not
having much understanding of the
electoral process—surely an ideal
choice for such an assignment,
right?
The 15-month ill-advised and ill-
fated episode continued until Vos
fired Gableman. That happened days
after Vos survived a challenge—by
only 260 votes—from a Repub-
lican primary opponent who was
endorsed by Gableman and Donald
Trump. Any correlation there?
In finally firing Gableman, Vos
described his effort as “an embar-
rassment to the state.” True enough.
But Vos was also “an embarrass-
ment to the state” for listening to
and bowing to Trump’s demand for

self but the commumity.
4. A respect for the efforts of

the investigation that he handed
to Gableman. Even after Vos fired
Gableman, Senator Ron Johnson
chastised him for authorizing an
end to the embarrassment.
Wouldn’t the $1 million plus
wasted in Gableman’s venture have
been better spent to provide local
units of government with extra
funding to staff and conduct elec-
tions? Republicans condemned the
funding that some Wisconsin local
units of government received from a
national group to cover a portion of
their costs for the 2020 presidential
election.
If the lack of “election integrity”
is supposedly so prominent, why
didn’t Republicans object in 2018
when Attorney General Josh Kaul
ousted incumbent Brad Schimmel by
17,000 votes? (Evers upset incum-
bent Gov. Scott Walker by 29,000
votes in that election.) Why did
they wait until Trump lost by nearly
21,000 votes in 2020?
Wisconsin’s Republicans, includ-
ing Michels, want to terminate the
Wisconsin Elections Commission
although they were instrumental
in its creation six years ago. The
commission’s purpose is to provide
guidance to election clerks in order
to ensure regularity in conducting
elections. Johnson complains about
“irregularities” in the process.
Without such a commission,
Republicans are laying the ground-
work for two outcomes—having
the State Legislature (with Michels
as governor) exercise control over
elections and challenging numerous
properly processed election results
in court proceedings.
Their goals are to triumph amid
chaos and to further erode public
confidence in election results.

We can’t legislate any of these
gifts as they are dependent on atti-

But I firmly believe that there are
candidates in this election who will
promote the attitudes that will lead

above gifts. I also believe those can-
didates have an “R” in their list of
credentials.
So quit listening to the lies and
half-truths in TV ads and vote for
the party that stands for the values
we want our youth to have—the
party of Lincoln, not of Trump, the
Republican Party and its candidates.

TCC group wants answers
To the editor:
As a member of Tri-County Citi-
zens (TCC), I am thrilled that people
are willing to discuss open records
requests in the KASD!
This is an example of one that
has not been answered. Regarding
last summer’s international expo-
sure of the KASD sexual harassment
investigations of eighth graders, Dr.
Ebert please provide either your best
rough estimates of the below costs
or actual documentation for each,
whichever you feel is most cost
effective for the taxpayers:
1) City of Kiel bomb sweep costs
(as provided to KASD)
2) Attorney costs
3) KASD personnel overtime and
related extra costs
4) Funding losses related to stu-
dents and family members exiting
KASD after being investigated for
sexual harassment (How many of
these investigated students and
their siblings left KASD?)
5) Costs to parents due to bomb
threat school closures (ie: 1,200
students x 10 days x $10 day =
$120,000)
6) Other (anything else we should
include Dr. Ebert?)
7) Adding the above together,
what is the total estimated econom-
ic impact on KASD taxpayers of the
summer 2022 sexual harassment
investigation? We appreciate your
“always willing to help” attitude Dr.
Ebert!
In the absence of a third party
investigation, the only way to get
honest answers to important ques-
tions like these is via open records
requests. TCC is stepping up.
At this point, the whole ugly situ-
ation last summer has successfully
been swept under the rug. Many
recognize how dangerous this is to
students as well as our community,
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Living in interesting times
To the editor:
There’s an ancient curse that goes
“may you live in interesting times.”
For our Kiel School District the
past five or six years have definitely
been interesting. Whether it was a
referendum or pandemic or school
board race or threats of violence,
our community has arguably seen
it all. Through all of it I am certain
there is no one I’d rather have lead-
ing this district than Dr. Ebert.
Dr. Ebert’s leadership is based
on building relationships. He is the
first person many of our students
and families see each morning as he
greets them in front of our build-
ings. He’s also the last person some
see as he attends after school events
from volleyball to musicals to ice
fishing tournaments. Dr. Ebert
makes sure the staff are valued and
heard, resulting in him earning
their respect. He has reached out
to strengthen the district’s rela-
tionships with area businesses and
earned the support of their leaders.
In fact just the other week it was
pointed out that “Dr. Ebert keeps
hitting home runs for Kiel schools.”
Dr. Ebert was even able to bring our
community together in support of
building the new athletic field and
Performing Arts Center. These addi-
tions have become the unquestioned
centers of our community.
The financial status of the dis-
trict is the best it has been in over a

and want to make sure correc-
tions are made so nothing like it
ever happens again. Many ask if the
politics of “mispronouning” con-
tributed to the problem. Many want
to know how and why the decision
was made to elevate an unfortunate
quarrel between young students
to the level of a full-blown formal
sexual harassment investigation.
Further, many want to know why
it didn’t stop long before it did, or
immediately when expensive law-
yers got involved. We are all stuck
paying the bill, how much is it
please?
The Supreme Court has ruled, the
purpose of open records requests
is “…to ensure an informed citi-
zenry, vital to the functioning of a
democratic society, needed to check
against corruption and to hold the
governors accountable to the gov-
erned.”
TCC wants politics out of the
KASD buildings; we believe instead
the KASD would best prioritize the
academic education of our students.
To that end, TCC will continue to
listen to whistleblowers and others
who feel wronged and unheard.
TCC will also continue to speak
out for those who keep silent for
fear of being bullied. We get it. Lit-
erally dozens of our fellow citizens
told us they could not join the 837
petition signers because of reprisal
concerns. In Kiel, USA, God help us!
The KASD routinely slow walks
most responses to open records
requests, and demands outrageous
prices for some disclosures. Citizens
just want some answers.
Will the community allow TCC to
continue? Why would anyone want
TCC to stop?!

decade. Enrollment is up and what
was yearly deficits have changed
to a fund balance that has nearly
doubled. This now allows Kiel to
target extra money where it is
needed most. Starting the Between
the Lakes e-school and moving the
district to a self-funded format for
health care are just two of the many
changes Dr. Ebert undertook to
improve our financial situation.
Academically our elementary and
middle schools score amongst the
best in our area. When our high
school struggled after the pandemic,
Dr. Ebert did not shrink from the
challenge. He, along with his admin
team, teachers and School Board
implemented a plan which will
improve the learning for all of our
students in the high school. We are
just a few weeks away from seeing
the fruits of their labor.
For most people in Kiel such effort
and achievement have earned Dr.
Ebert a heartfelt thank you. Howev-
er, for the Tri-County Citizens it has
resulted in an effort to remove him
from his position. Inconceivable!
I urge the Kiel School Board to
turn away from the politics being
pushed by some members of our
community. Instead return the focus
to students and student learning.

When to adjust
investment mix?
There are no shortcuts to invest-
ment success—you need to estab-
lish a long-term strategy and stick
with it.
This means that you’ll want to
create an investment mix based on
your goals, risk tolerance and time
horizon—and then regularly review
this mix to ensure it’s still meeting
your needs.
In fact, investing for the long
term doesn’t necessarily mean you
should lock your investments in
forever. Throughout your life, you’ll
likely need to make some changes.
Of course, everyone’s situation
is different and there’s no pre-
scribed formula of when and how
you should adjust your investments.
But some possibilities may be worth
considering.
For example, a few years before
you retire, you may want to re-eval-
uate your risk exposure and con-
sider moving part of your portfolio
into a more risk-averse position.
When you were decades away from
retiring, you may have felt more
comfortable with a more aggressive
positioning because you had time
to “bounce back” from any market
downturns. But as you near retire-
ment, it may make sense to lower
your risk level. And as part of a move
toward a reduced-risk approach,
you also may want to evaluate the
“cash” positions in your portfolio.
When the market has gone through
a decline—as has been the case in
2022—you may not want to tap into
your portfolio to meet short-term
and emergency needs, so having
sufficient cash on hand is important.
Keep in mind, though, that having
too much cash on the “sidelines”
may affect your ability to reach your
long-term goals.
Even if you decide to adopt a more
risk-averse investment position
before you retire, though, you may
still benefit from some growth-
oriented investments in your port-

folio to help you keep ahead of—or
at least keep pace with—inflation.
As you know, inflation has surged in
2022, but even when it’s been rela-
tively mild, it can still erode your
purchasing power significantly over
time.
Changes in your own goals or
circumstances may also lead you to
modify your investment mix. You
might decide to retire earlier or
later than you originally planned.
You might even change your plans
for the type of retirement you want,
choosing to work part time for a few
years. Your family situation may
change—perhaps you have another
child for whom you’d like to save
and invest for college. Any of these
events could lead you to review your
portfolio to find new opportunities
or to adjust your risk level—or both.
You might wonder if you should
also consider changing your invest-
ment mix in response to external
forces, such as higher interest rates
or the rise in inflation this year. It’s
certainly true that these types of
events can affect parts of your port-
folio, but it may not be advisable to
react by shuffling your investment
mix. In the first place, nobody can
really predict how long these forces
will keep their momentum—it’s
quite possible, for instance, that
inflation will have subsided notice-
ably within a year. But more impor-
tantly, you should make investment
moves based on the factors we’ve
already discussed—your goals, risk
tolerance, time horizon and indi-
vidual circumstances.
By reviewing your portfolio regu-
larly, possibly with the assistance
of a financial professional, you can
help ensure that your investment
mix will always be appropriate for
your needs and goals.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Lucky to have superintendent
To the editor:
Recently the board held its much
anticipated retreat.
A recording of the four-hour ses-
sion was posted and was enlighten-
ing to listen to. Overwhelmingly,
the board members stated that
they want to do what is best for
the kids in our district and to build
trust among the board members.
According to the facilitator, dis-
tricts and their students perform
better academically when there is
trust in a district. She spoke of the
trickle-down effect. When the board
has trust in and among themselves,
trust in the superintendent, and
trust in principals and teachers,
students benefit. Working toward
that trust is vital to the success of
this district.
Another key point the facilitator
made was to address the role of the
board and its members. The role of
the board is to support the superin-
tendent and to help that person do
their job along with helping to man-
age and run the district. The job of
the board is to look at all available
information and make decisions
that are best for the district and its
students. It is not to merely repre-
sent the people who voted for them.
According to the facilitator, board
members are not elected to do what
others tell them to do. They are not
here to push one view or agenda but
to look at what is best for all kids in
this district.
It is time that the board speak up
and speak directly to the people of
this district and let them know that
the lies that continue to be spread
by a few regarding our teachers and
staff are not true. Our teachers are
not teaching CRT, our staff is not
indoctrinating our kids or transi-
tioning them. Rather than cave to
demands by a few loud angry voices
that call for the removal of our
superintendent, our board should
applaud our superintendent for all
he does to unify this district and to
constantly work from a place that
puts educating and protecting all
kids at the forefront of everything
he does.
My hope is that the recent retreat
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Candidate should be in jail
To the editor:
A recent Ron Johnson ad chroni-
cles his life history.
In a nutshell, he came from a
modest middle class family and,
after working 12 hour days, he
became a millionaire. The ad leaves
out the fact that Johnson’s success
came after he married into one of
the richest families in Wisconsin.
A second Johnson ad warns us to
be wary of thousands of new IRS
agents that will be coming after us.
The ad does not mention that the
lack of agents makes it near impos-
sible to contact the IRS by phone
and almost nobody gets audited. If
irregularities are found, there is no
staff to follow up and no lawyers
to prosecute. Before Republicans
drastically cut funding for the IRS,
millionaires were audited every year
and multimillion dollar corporations
were audited twice a year. Wasn’t it
Ronald Reagan who said “Trust but
verify”? People of modest income
were almost never audited. Who do
you think Johnson is looking out
for?
Ron Johnson wants to make Social
Security a discretionary item in
the budget. That means if there is
a government shutdown, retirees
would not get a check. It also means
that if the ever-growing group of
Republican crackpot representa-
has helped the current board clearly
understand its role and truly does
the job it is tasked with.
I know many are aware of the
effort Dr. Ebert puts into this dis-
trict in order to make it warm and
welcoming, but some have no idea
the extent of his involvement.
I can’t imagine there are many
districts where the kids from
elementary through high school
know who their superintendent is
let alone eagerly greet him with a
high five or positive conversations.
I can’t imagine there are many
districts where kids dress up as Dr.
Ebert for career day. These things
happen regularly in our district. Dr.
Ebert is at the schools having posi-
tive interactions with students and
staff daily. He models the behavior
we want to see in our kids.
Dr. Ebert is a common presence
at a majority of district events. You
will find him at sporting events
of all types cheering on students,
genuinely excited to support student
athletes. He is at theater, music and
academic performances, competi-
tions and rehearsals. He is a guest
speaker each year at seventh grade
camp where he shares his time
and talent and hobbies. He is on
the committee that supports our
Performing Arts Center, actively
working to bring groups to our
small town, selling concessions and
cleaning up after. He also leads the
Leo Club at the Middle School help-
ing develop the next generation of
volunteers. These are interactions
and involvement that go above and
beyond his duties as superintendent.
His presence in the community
and district is significant. This is
extremely uncommon for a school
superintendent.
Dr. Ebert genuinely cares about all
students in our district. He works
tirelessly toward the success of all
students. His presence is an asset
to our district. We are lucky to have
him here.

In a recorded private meet-
ing Johnson stated that he knows
Trump lost, but you can’t say that.
This is sick. Thousands of families
and former friends don’t talk with
each other anymore because of
Trump’s big lie and Johnson does
not have the courage or character
to say out loud what he knows to be
true.
Finally, our senator was involved
in the attempted overthrow of the
U.S. government. Johnson received
a list of fake electors to pass on to
the vice president. He claims he did
nothing wrong because Pence would
not take the list. That is malarkey!
Under a law passed after the Civil
War, insurrectionists like Ron John-
son are not eligible to run for any
office. So why is he even on the bal-
lot?
Republicans say character mat-
ters. Ron Johnson has no character
as he is willing to lie about things
that affect the fiber of our Republic.
He should be in jail, not running to

Chilton football memories
To the editor:
The Chilton Tigers football team
has a winning season this year and
the final home game and final game
to be played on our infamous Mor-
rissey Field will be one of those
special games that will draw a crowd
and a lot of excitement.
The Two Rivers Purple Raiders
will come to Morrissey Field to take
on the Chilton Tigers Friday, Oct.
14 in what looks to be one of those
memorable games for the history
books. Both teams are undefeated
in conference at the writing of this
article. It’s only fitting that the final
chapter of the football history at
Morrissey Field should come to an
end with such an anticipated and
important game.
There have been many excit-
ing and memorable football games
played at Morrissey Field over the
years. Much has been written about
the unbeaten, unscored upon team
of the 1969 season, and right-
fully so. I followed that team’s suc-
cess closely with the local Chilton
Times-Journal that was sent to
me at my duty station in Okinawa
as I served out my last year in the
Marines. Teams tried everything
possible to score on Chilton that
year. The fans flocked to the games
to ride the excitement of their
famous Tigers. What a team!
I would like to reminisce on
another one of those special memo-
rable games that took place at Mor-
rissey Field my senior year (1965
season). This game is said to have
drawn one of the largest crowds that
ever attended a game at Morrissey
Field. To set the stage I need to go
back to the 1963 season when new
head coach Ted Thompson came to
Chilton. The Tigers were not picked
to do much as New Holstein and
Plymouth were the favorites. The
Tigers lost the first game to New
Holstein but went on to win the rest
of the games and finished second
in the conference. The 1964 season
saw the Tigers contending for the
championship once again only to
lose to the Panthers at Plymouth for
the only loss that year and finish-
ing second in the conference. Coach
Thompson moved on to coach at the
college level and Coach John Thome
took over. The 1965 season was to
be the year the Tigers were going to
win it all. The season went well until
a stubborn Oostburg team played
the Tigers to a tie the week before
the big showdown with Plymouth
for the championship. Early in the
season Chilton had beaten New Hol-

stein 13-6 and New Holstein had
beaten Plymouth 12-0. Chilton was
in first place by a half game due to
the tie and no losses. They needed
to beat Plymouth when the Panthers
came to town the next Friday. A loss
meant that New Holstein and Plym-
outh would share the championship
and Chilton would end up in second
place a half game behind them;
everything was on the line. The
crowd that night saw people filling
the stands and covering the hillside,
and people were packed against the
ropes all around the football field.
New Holstein fans came to Chilton
to join the Plymouth fans to cheer
on the Panthers in hopes that they
could beat the Tigers and get a share
of the championship. Many have
said that it was the biggest crowd
to ever watch a game at Morrissey
Field. The Plymouth Panthers pre-
vailed by a score of 13-6 after a hard
fought game that saw numerous
injuries. Plymouth scored the go-
ahead touchdown with under two
minutes left in the game.
The Chilton Tigers went on to take
the championship in the 1966 sea-
son going 8-0. Just like the Green
Bay Packers, the Chilton Tigers
proved to be the team to beat in the
1960s. The Tigers closed out the
decade with the 1969 unbeaten,
unscored upon team posting an
8-0 season record with 363 points
scored to zero points allowed.
Louis Brandt (sports editor for
the Chilton Times in those days)
wrote an article in 1966 indicating
that for the four football seasons
1963 to 1966, the Chilton Tigers
were the third best team in the state
among all schools participating in
football with a 31-3-1 record. If you
tack on the wins and losses for the
‘67-’69 seasons, the record of Chil-
ton Tiger football is one that all the
football players of that decade can
be very proud of. The accomplish-
ments of Tiger football teams over
the years made some very special
memories for the players, the stu-
dents and citizens of Chilton. Take
some time if you wish and visit
Morrissey Field one more time while
the chalk markings are on the field
for the last season. The time for
Morrissey Field is coming to a close.
Thanks for the memories—Chilton
Tigers!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Knowing fact from fiction
To the editor:
Last spring I gave up on trying to
counter Mike Foshee’s fictitious,
uneducated and ignorant rantings
because you cannot fight fact with
outlandish fiction.
I was hoping he was able to pull
his head out of wherever it was
and over time get it screwed on
straight but it appears I was wrong.
He has never presented a fact only
his unsubstantiated opinions or as
he like to accuse others “talking
points” of a losing Republican Party.
It is bad enough to see him try to
spread his bull but when he keeps
repeating it and others appear to fall
for it I had to react! When he fol-
lows the “Me-Me fake President”
whom has lost over 60 court battles
to try to disprove his big lie, and
tries to destroy our great Democracy
with accusations of “rigged elec-
tions” when absolutely not one iota
of proof has been presented some-
one has to speak up. When some-
one previously in the White House
(I do not want to refer to him as a
president because he is an embar-
rassment to party and country) and
refused to leave after being soundly
defeated by over 3 million votes,
when someone insights an insur-
rection killing honorable police
officers (making “Back the Blue”
slogan a mockery), when someone
steals government papers from gov-
ernment offices to hide his criminal
activities refusing to honor sub-
poenas for himself and his accom-
plices and when someone threatens
anyone who crosses his path (Mitch
McConnell has a “death wish”) it
is time he is put away permanently
before he destroys everything
honorable this country stands for.
Remember over 28,000 lies while in
office (and that is a fact)—everyone
knows not a word out of his mouth
is the truth.
Speaking of Mandela Barnes,
what is the point of comparison to
Nelson Mandela—is it the racial
connotation which Republicans
try to play down but keep trying to
silently promote for racial disparity?
Unlike Trump and other election
deniers Mandela actually won his
election and did not have to “hood-
wink” anyone the way Trump did in
2016. Where did he get his “facts”
on Mandela Barnes which he says
are “out there for anyone to find”
because everywhere I searched these
were just opinions or slanderous
comments. Because he is opposing
a man who filled his pockets at the
expense of hardworking Americans
while voting to give over $900 bil-
lion and that’s with a “b” to the top
1 percenters Mr. Foshee must still
be a “trickle down” believer that if
we all live long enough we might
get a little of the “trickle.” Why do
you think Johnson and the rich and
greedy congressmen disapprove of
hiring 87,000 IRS agents because

Soybean Board elects directors

election results.
Three soybean producers started
their three-year terms as elected
members of the Wisconsin Soybean
Marketing Board on Sept. 1 including
Jonathon Gibbs of Fox Lake who rep-
resents District 4. District 4 includes
Fond du Lac County.
In addition, Kevin Bork of Grand
Marsh was elected in District 3 and
Patrick Mullooly of Clinton in Dis-
trict 5.
The Wisconsin Soybean Marketing
the ones that will be investigated
will be the 1 percenters who have
streamlined the tax laws for their
benefit while we pay the bill. Ron
Johnson has backed the Trump “big
lie” since the day after the election
and participated in trying to line up
the “fake” electors. I cannot believe
that someone has not gone to prison
for those activities yet because had
a Democrat done it they would have
been sentence a year ago. Foshee is
one of the biggest hypocrites there
is if he can accuse Mandela of tax
issues which have recently been
disproved while at the same time
not mentioning the guy who was
in the White House never paying
any income taxes, providing false
records to deflate property value
when beneficial and inflating them
when beneficial the other way (let’s
see how New York handles that).
Then we have the relentless false
attacks on Tony Evers who has been
highly successful in virtually every
category. How will he win back the
jobs lost to the Fox “Con” debacle,
got news for you they were never
lost because they never existed!
It was a real con job by the last
administration and thank God the
last lieutenant governor lost out in
the primary or we would have been
conned again. Now Republicans are
pushing another businessman for
governor. How did that work with
Trump—but then again he wasn’t
really a businessman but a failure
in virtually every category. Do you
know that Michel’s received over
$450 million of our taxpayer dollars
on the Fox(Con) deal? Google who
got money for the Fox(Con) projects
and it is there. Then they cry about
the pipeline deal which was another
deal for the rich and greedy creat-
ing a pipeline from Canada across
our country to the Gulf with no
guarantee for oil or energy relief to
U.S. citizens only the possibility of
cleaning up their disasters. Did you
know that Michels company had a
contract for over $8 billion (that’s
billion with a “b”), again thank God
that was shut down so we do not
have to subsidize Michels again.
Mr. Foshee, I do not vote strictly
party either, at least not in the past
but since Trump, it is a no-brainer
if we want to save our great democ-
racy. You once said that I just hate
Trump and you are correct because
I hate everything he has ever stood
for. He has violated every com-
mandment in the Bible. Any time
we had a Democrat president it
was a Republican issue if he did not
“show” real Christianity but Trump
was the farthest from showing real
Christianity and tried to talk a good
story. Open up your eyes and see
who really is leading you down the
wrong path!

Bounty of recipes under harvest moon
Just in case there was any doubt in our minds
before, Mother Nature has informed us by her
actions that fall has arrived.
We are experiencing more rain and wind and the
leaves are turning a beautiful golden color. Stan
says the grass needs cutting, but I think that may
be the last time it needs to be cut.
Before long the leaf blower will come out and we
will be blowing leaves in a pile and taking them to
the street in a large plastic tarp.
Yesterday, my husband Stan and myself decided
it was time to put the electric blanket on our bed.
We tore off all the bed linens on the bed, replaced
them with clean sheets and the electric blan-
ket. Rather than turn on the heat in the house
this early in the season, we turn on the blanket
to warm up our bed and then turn it off a couple
hours later. A lot less expensive than turning on
the furnace.
I ended the month by attending an author visit
at the Kiel Public Library. J. F. Riordan is the
author of a series of four novels centered around
life on Washington Island. She wrote four nov-
els under the series title, “North of the Tension
Line.” This is the third author visit I attended,
and I was glad that I did. The books were differ-
ent than I expected and so was the author. The
author’s German shepherd came with her. Before
they left, we got a chance to pet and give treats to
this large, friendly canine. The room at the library
was filled with about 40 people, so I know I wasn’t
the only person enjoying author visits.
What was interesting is that she never lived
on Washington Island, but visited often, just as I
have. She said she couldn’t explain it, but just has
a feeling in her heart about this island. I feel the
same way. Going to the island and Door County is
someplace I never tire of seeing—a feeling that
you have travelled a long way from home and
are far away from jobs, chain restaurants and are
entering a different life.

This is what the Lord says: “I will extend peace
to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a
flooding stream.” - Isaiah 66:12 (NIV)
Whenever I read Isaiah 66 where the prophet speaks
about restoring peace and prosperity to Jerusalem, it
reminds me of when our family lived in Berlin dur-
ing the Cold War. It was a city literally divided by
the Berlin Wall. As a result, a certain tension always
hung in the air.
One day our family stopped at the ruins of an old
castle as we traveled through West Germany. Climb-
ing up to a terrace, I looked down on the Rhine River
Valley and experienced a peace that seemed to push
away all the concerns in my life. God’s Spirit was

below. Although that was many years ago, I have never
forgotten that moment.
With time, I’ve learned that the peace of the Lord
is also available through prayer and meditation on
scripture. We can trust the Prince of Peace with all
our burdens. He will surround us like a river whenever
we seek him and surrender our lives to him.
Dear God, help us to seek your peace every day,
in good times and in hard times, as we pray, “Father,
hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us
each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we
also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead
us not into temptation” (Luke 11:2-4, NIV). Amen.
