By Neil Johnson njohnson@gazettextra.com JANESVILLE

Business at Janesville’s city-owned Oak Hill Cemetery isn’t booming. In fact, the cemetery has not broken even in any of the last five years the city has owned and operated it. And its financial resources are being drained every year because the annual costs of running the 96-acre cemetery on the city’s north side have outpaced the cemetery’s lone source of revenues—burials and gravesite sales. Last year alone, the cemetery cost

the city about $75,000 through a subsidy paid out of the general fund and was $11,000 in the red, according to city budget records. This year, expenses at the cemetery are projected at $234,000. The cemetery is estimated to run about $20,000 in the red in both 2014 and 2015. Meanwhile, fees collected for burial are estimated to remain flat and grave sales this year are estimated to dip to 53, about half the number sold in 2011. Officials say one reason for dwindling sales is the growing popularity of

Attack at Canada’s Parliament kills 2 JEREMY HAINSWORTH AND ROB GILLIES Associated Press‌

OTTAWA, Ontario — A gunman with a scarf over his face shot to death a Canadian soldier standing guard at the nation’s war memorial Wednesday, then stormed Parliament in a hail of gunfire before he was killed by the usually ceremonial sergeant-at-arms, authorities and witnesses said. The attack immediately raised the specter of terrorism, with Canada already on heightened alert because of a deadly hit-andrun earlier in the week against two Canadian soldiers by a man who police say was fired up with radical Muslim fervor. “Today is a sad and tragic day for our city and our country,” Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said.

Downtown aid station offers help for wayward festers Tribune staff

For the eighth year, police, paramedics and volunteers will offer aid to wayward Oktoberfesters in downtown La Crosse. The Third Street Aid Station, in the parking lot of the Subway restaurant at Third and Pearl streets, is a place where festgoers can get directions, reunite with friends and charge their cell phones. “It’s a lot more than first aid,” said La Crosse Police Capt. Robert Lawrence. The station was scheduled to open Thursday night and will be open at 7 p.m. today and Saturday, remaining open until 4 a.m. Last year nearly 900 people visited the aid station, while another 1,300 used free shuttle buses that will again ferry festers to area hotels and college campuses. Lawrence said he hopes that revelers will behave in spite of

the warm weather forecasted. Partiers tipped over cars in the neighborhood between Western Technical College and the UW-L campus each of the past two years. “We’re hoping it is not a rowdy weekend,” he said. In addition, Lawrence said police will have extra officers on the street. Lawrence said about 50 to 60 student volunteers are expected to staff the aid station, while another 40 or so will patrol Riverside Park as part of Operation River Watch in an effort to keep intoxicated people from falling into the Mississippi River.

She just has to keep up the momentum now.” Others for OHS were Carly Garcia 93, Shea Hill 97, Sami Follo 105 and Gabi Clayton 106.

A report by PressGazette Media said Nygren faces two counts of possession of narcotic drugs and one count of possessing an illegally obtained prescription.

State Performance Graded

WISCONSIN - As schools open and thoughts return to tests and grades, the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance (WISTAX) has released the only “report card” that annually benchmarks the state’s performance. Among the report’s findings, employment has grown steadily since 2010

and the unemployment rate is down about two points since peaking in 2009. WISTAX is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to public policy research and citizen education since 1932. On other economic measures, the WISTAX report notes that:

· Wisconsin manufacturing jobs as a share of total employment increased for the third straight year, reaching 16.4 percent in 2013. That figure was still 0.8 points below pre-recession levels. · For the five years end-

lacrossetribune.com Still, some question whether a DOT study could result in any recommendation other than a new road. “When they talk about having all the options on the table, that’s a false statement,” said Charley Weeth, president of Livable Neighborhoods, a community group that formed in opposition to the North-South corridor back in 1988. “The politics are build roads, build roads, build roads. Ribbon cuttings are so much sexier.” Gust said the DOT follows an Environmental Protection Agency planning process that calls for an examination of every alternative. “I can’t eliminate anything up front until I look at it,” he said. But most local leaders agree that a study resulting in another North-South corridor is pointless. “I think it’s just a total waste of everyone’s time to go through a process that’s going to be set up to propose the same solution and that’s going to cause a bunch of conflict,” Kabat said. “That just to me is a waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars and everyone’s time.” Throwing blind support behind a project of this magnitude would be irresponsible, said Chuck Lee, president and found of the Friends of the La Crosse River Marsh, a nonprofit group that evolved from early opposition to the North-South corridor. “The DOT is requiring that the municipalities and towns — members of the LAPC — not only approve continuation of a study but that they approve the result of it,” Lee said. “That’s just not a deal they should take.”

Cheese Days to miss demo chief BARRY ADAMS badams@madison.com, 608-252-6148‌

NEW GLARUS — John Bussman’s body is telling him it’s time to step aside. His handshake would say otherwise. Bussman, who won the Swissstyle wrestling titles at Green County Cheese Days in 1950 and 1955 and spent a lifetime lifting blocks and wheels of cheese, still has an iron grip, even though he is just two months shy of his 90th birthday. But when the historic cheesemaking demonstration returns to the courthouse square in Monroe on Saturday, Bussman will no longer be in charge. He has donated his equipment to the Foreign Type Cheesemakers Association, which plans to keep using the equipment for the demonstrations. It will mark the first time since 1970, the year the cheesemaking started at the festival, that Bussman won’t be a part of the

Bussman said during an interview at Chalet Landhaus Inn in New Glarus. “I’m ready. My body tells me it’s time.” Bussman Cheese Days occurs every other year in Monroe and this year is celebrating 100 years since its founding. The three-day event that begins Friday will likely draw more than 100,000 people and includes a parade, yodelers, polka music and deep-fried cheese curds from the Monroe Optimist Club. On Saturday, over 130 accordion players are scheduled to play with the Monroe City Band. Bussman (pronounced boosman) may not be a certified master cheesemaker, but he has spent nearly 80 years in the industry. The third-generation cheese maker grew up in his father’s cheese plant between Gratiot and South Wayne in Lafayette

Opie Cheese Factory near Gratiot before settling in 1942 in Warren, Illinois, just over the Wisconsin border and 30 miles southwest of Monroe. Bussman got the Cheese Days gig after demonstrating cheese making with a wood-fired 3,000-pound copper kettle at the Warren Sesquicentennial in 1968. “The first time we did it, we were open to criticism,” said Bussman, who worried about his Illinois address, but is amazed at how milk, bacteria and enzymes combine to make cheese. “In all my years, I have never gotten over the impression that a miracle occurs when cheese is made,” he said. The Cheese Days demonstration, however, will be left in good hands. Gary Grossen, who has assisted Bussman at Cheese Days since the 1980s and is an awardwinning master cheesemaker at Babcock Dairy at UW-MadSeptember 23, 2014 4:55 pm / ison, will take over the cheesemaking.

Sheriff’s Office insists Steele retired despite arrangement ED TRELEVEN etreleven@madison.com, 608-252-6134‌

The Dane County Sheriff’s Office considers former Deputy Andrew Steele, charged with killing his wife and her sister last month, to be retired even though he continues to receive benefits he accumulated while on the job. Steele, 39, of Fitchburg, is charged with two counts of firstdegree intentional homicide for the Aug. 22 shooting deaths of Ashlee Steele, 39, and her sister, Kacee Tollefsbol, 38, of Lake Elmo, Minnesota. Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Elise Schaffer said that Steele worked his last day in the Sheriff’s Office on June 4. That’s when he learned he has amyotrophic

lateral sclerosis, a terminal neurodegenerative disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. Steele submitSteele ted his retirement paperwork, she said, but instead of taking a lump sum payout of his accrued vacation, sick time and family medical leave benefits, as is often done, Steele asked to receive it gradually because of his family’s financial situation. Technically, she said, that arrangement kept Steele on as a current employee, even though he had worked his last day. Since his arrest for the homicides, Schaffer said, the Sheriff’s

The victim has re returned to school, tors had told police t missed a major arte heart.

Office has kept the benefit payment arrangement going only so that Steele’s two children would continue to be covered by health insurance. Once Steele’s children are under a guardianship and are covered by another health insurance plan, Steele’s remaining benefits will be paid to him in a lump sum and his retirement will take effect, Schaffer said. Steele’s lawyer, Jessa Nicholson, said in court last week that the children are living with Steele’s parents. A judge denied, for now, Steele’s request to be able to see them.

a newspaper interview little support for a third medical college. “A new private medical school in Jefferson would create duplicative infrastructure at a cost of at least $125 million,” the physicians told the Wisconsin State Journal. “Further, the proposal would graduate 150 to 160 new doctors each year, far exceeding the projected need. This would create multiple bottlenecks in the state’s medical training capacity.” In 2011, the Wisconsin Hospital Association produced a report, “100 New Physicians a Year: An Imperative for Wisconsin,” that asked Wisconsin’s medical schools to graduate 100 more physicians a year, especially in primary care and in rural areas. The two current medical schools graduate about 400 physicians annually and responded to the report by expanding the Wisconsin Academy of Rural Medicine and creating regional campuses in Green Bay and central Wisconsin. These programs are expected to add about 60 new doctors a year, “with the potential to address the entire gap of 100 per year by graded, responsible growth,” according to the State Journal article. In addition, the colleges recently received funding for a new family medicine residency in Green Bay and a psychiatry residency program (Continued on A5)

New Fort vendor proposal By Ryan Whisner Union regional editor

A proposed ordinance that allows one mobile merchant to utilize the municipal parking lot at South Third and Main streets in Fort Atkinson was advanced through its first reading Tuesday. As proposed, all other mobile merchants would be directed to use private property locations to conduct their business. Applicants who own, rent or lease real property within Fort Atkinson that is used for the business would pay $25 for a six-month license and $50 for a year. Those who do not own, rent or lease real property in the city would pay $500 for one year. Only the one license for the location in the city parking lot would be issued during any given license year. Discussions of the mobile merchants ordinance in Fort Atkinson began in late January 2013 out of concerns related to the Los Agaves taqueria, commonly called “the taco truck,” and Primetime Towne Fryer truck, one of which was situated on the Main Street bridge at the time. Primetime Towne Fryer arrived after the debate on the issue had gotten under way.

The Southeast Wisconsin Antique Power and Collectibles Club celebrated the 100th anniversary of AllisChalmers tractors Sept. 12-14 as part of their Fall Harvest Days in Union Grove. The “Coming Home Again” centennial event was preceded by a Sept. 11 tractor drive departing from the site of the former A-C factory in nearby West Allis. Shown here, the 35 participants, who came from throughout the U.S., drove near the main erection building where A-C built large pieces such as hydroturbines. None of the company’s tractor buildings remain at the site.

Three Dane County horses test positive for EHV-1 All three horses were vaccinated in spring

MADISON Three horses from an equine boarding and training facility in Dane County have tested positive for equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1), says Dr. Paul McGraw, Wisconsin’s State Veterinarian with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). EHV-1 is a highly contagious virus that causes respiratory disease, abortion, and intermittent outbreaks of neurologic disease in horses. Hu-

mans cannot acquire EHV-1. One horse became ill in late August showing neurologic signs and was humanely euthanized. The other two horses became ill over the Labor Day weekend and are being treated by a veterinarian. All three horses were vaccinated in spring for rhinopneumonitis, which is caused by an equine herpesvirus. Currently licensed vaccines are not labeled for the prevention of the neurologic form of EHV-1. Symptoms that should alert horse owners to the possibility of neurologic EHV-1 infection include fever, weakness and incoordination, and urine dribbling

or inability to urinate. Horses with these symptoms should be examined immediately by a veterinarian. Suspect horses should be isolated from healthy horses and tested for EHV-1. “Horses with a fever and symptoms of contagious respiratory infection should be kept at home and not taken to shows, competitions, clinics or public trail rides,” McGraw says. Horse owners should also be aware that transportation of horses to competitions, shows and clinics may increase the risk of exposure to infectious organisms.

A supermoon is seen Tuesday morning before sunrise behind Marquette University’s Church of the Gesu steeple. Also known as a Harvest Moon, this supermoon was the third and final instance of 2014. The phenomenon, which scientists call a “perigee moon,” occurs when the moon’s orbit takes it closest to Earth. Supermoons appear larger and brighter than other full moons.

TosaFest fistfight sparks scary rumors, but no c

Jim Stingl

As you can guess, the concern over TosaFest is partly about skin color.

ver the years, the biggest threat to TosaFest has been rain. A storm that blew through the outdoor festival Saturday had nothing to do with the weather. It was a cloudburst of fighting, followed by a vortex of teenagers, scattered shouters and a 100% chance of unfounded scary rumors. Most of us at the festival that night did not catch wind of the disturbance. It occurred along Harwood Ave. and in a grassy plaza where teens traditionally congregate by the hundreds during the annual festival in Wauwatosa’s village

area. Everything was going fine. But about 9 p.m., one witness told me, two shirtless guys got into a fistfight. It happens sometimes. “And as they’re moving, the crowd starts moving. People are screaming. They’re running to see the fight, and they’re running away from the fight. That’s when things got crazy,” said the witness, a festival volunteer. But apparently not that crazy. Bradley Beckman, a Wauwatosa police sergeant on the scene along with numerous other

officers, said in his report: “No office injured in this disturbance. No subje were arrested for their behavior. No juries or other problems were report police by anyone involved in this mat this time there have been no reports o property damage in the area.” Police cleared out the kids and shu that section of the festival. A children movie in that area was stopped. The r the party continued until the normal p.m. closing time. I was a volunteer b tender near the stage on State St. I got home around midnight and fo

For hunters who believe deer hunting is too crowded, complex and contentious, small game hunting might provide a more relaxed time in the woods. Jerry Davis can be reached at sivadjam@ mhtc.net.

While some wildlife was put in a disadvantage during a severe winter, ruffed grouse often thrive during these conditions because their winter food (tree buds and dried fruits) is above the snow. Deep snow, while difficult for some predators, is no match for this flushing bird that sometimes roosts in snowdrifts. Hunters in Price,

successful. “Michelle Ryan is our secretary and she does an absolute ton of work behind the scenes getting kids and parents ready for the season. She does a phenomenal job,” he offered. “I enjoy finding opportunities to promote our organization and make sure kids have a great time,” he added. OYF has nine football teams; two for every grade, except sixth grade which has three teams. “We try to keep the teams size so that it is not so big that kids don’t get playing time, or too small so kids are playing when they are tired. We look for squads if 25-30 kids,” the organization’s president said.

FYI Registration for 2015 begins in January. Visit the website oconomowocyouthfootball.org to learn more about the organization and for online registration.

Practice is generally held at Nature Hill Intermediate School; games for 5th and 6th grade teams are at Ski Slide Park. The 7th and 8th grade teams have the honor of playing at Rux Stadium – Oconomowoc High School’s brand new field that was just opened this season. “We are very fortunate to have two great venues,” Wipperman noted. “We’re a developmental football league. We’re not about wins and losses, but developing them to play – we give

kids the fundamentals and instill a love of the game so they can compete at the state championship at the high school level. We have a great relationship with Oconomowoc High School coaching staff and work closely with them to do it the Oconomowoc way,” he added. The players practiced 10 hours a week in August; with school in session that will decrease to six hours a week. “Fifth-graders play seven games a season, sixth- to eighth-graders play eight games. The eighth-graders are the only grade where we have playoffs and league championships,” in the Wisconsin All American Youth Football League.

That’s when he bought the building on the Island that was to eventually become Loon Land Trading Company and Twisted Root Emporium. From that time on it was full speed ahead for Woody. He quickly established himself with the business community and the town-wide efforts to promote the Minocqua and Lakeland area. “My first recollection of him was he welcomed me to town, he welcomed me to my new position here at [The Pointe]. He also extended his hand in any way he could to make me feel comfortable here,” Drossart said. “I’ve watched him ever since and ... he had an ability to make you feel good about yourself and what you were doing.

There’s no need to put that on the agenda. It’s being handled. They [Christensen, Vojta and Albee] want to micro-manage everything. ” Camp said as of Wednesday, none of the three supervisors has contacted him personally about the situation. “I don’t know what I’ve done to make those people upset other than destroy their personal agenda they’re trying to get through,” he said.

I have to go with the advice of the town’s attorney [Lucareli] who’s been the town’s attorney for over 20 years.” As for Garbowicz’s involvement, Camp said he believes there’s an ethical question on the part of Garbowicz. “When Mr. Lucareli represents the town board, and then you have another attorney intervening and trying to give a contradictory opinion to someone else’s client ... does that sound ethical by an attorney?” he asked. “An attorney should say, ‘You’re represented by Mr. Lucareli. I shouldn’t be giving you any opinion because he’s the town’s attorney.’ That should be an ethics question Mr. Garbowicz should ask himself.” September 22, 2014 7:50 pm / Where it goes from here is, Camp said,

Highway swap plan advances BETSY BLOOM betsy.bloom@lee.net‌

A proposal to swap sections of Hwy. 108 and Hwy. C in north-central La Crosse County took another step forward Monday, with county officials saying the $4.1 million in additional state money for rural roads was too much to pass up despite some vocal opposition from the Mindoro area. The exchange would transfer 10.1 miles of county Hwy. C to state control, making it the new Hwy. 108 from West Salem to just outside Mindoro. The county would take over and redesignate 13.1 miles of Hwy. 108, which runs roughly parallel with Hwy. C but passes through the village and the historic Mindoro Cut. The state Department of Transportation sought the switch because the current Hwy. C sees significantly more traffic at 2,200 vehicles a day, compared with 870 on Hwy. 108. It offered the county $4.1 million as an incentive that would be used to recondition the new Hwy. C into Mindoro, enough to last 30 years with

section to present to the state. But the switch remains controversial with some Mindoro residents who fear it will route traffic away from the community, hurting tourism and business. Others along the two highways object to the potential expense and confusion they claim changing addresses would cause. Dan Howe submitted a petition “from people who PETER THOMSON want to stop the swap,” with nearly 170 signatures he said The iconic Mindoro Cut on state Hwy. 108 would become he collected walking only part of county Hwy.
