Central Boiler Outdoor Wood Furnace
A Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace adapts to your
new or existing heating system and can heat 100% of
your home and hot water. By virtually eliminating
your heating costs, a Central Boiler system can pay
for itself in the first few years of use.* In these tough
economic times, that just makes good sense.
*Actual savings are dependent on the cost of wood
and the cost of the fuel being replaced.

Both wrong?
According to the Pew Research Center, just about the
same percentage of American conservatives have received a major government entitlement during their lifetime as liberals. The percentage is 57 percent for conservatives, 53 percent for liberals. Yet, the two camps dont
agree at all whether government assistance to individuals is a good way to spend taxpayers money. Its a key disagreement in an increasingly polarized America.
Take FoodShare, for instance. The Pew Research Center
reports 17 percent of both American liberals and conservatives have benefited from the food assistance program.
Conservatives, however, argue that the program creates
dependency and subsidizes laziness. They support work
requirements for FoodShare recipients. Liberals, on the
other hand, argue that a persons basic needs must be met
before he or she can be independent. They oppose tighter
restrictions on FoodShare eligibility.
So, who is right? The liberals? The conservatives?
New data out of Marathon County suggests that nobody has the exact answer.
Starting this year, Wisconsin joined an increasing number of states to require that able-bodied childless adults
find work or lose their Food Share benefits.
Here in Marathon County, the work requirement seems
to have an impact.
Back in August, the county had 14,300 people on FoodShare. By September, when the work requirement went
into effect, the number had fallen by 257 people. In October, the number of FoodShare recipients had dropped
another 231 people to 13,812. The two-month drop of 488
people represents a decrease of 3.4 percent in the county
program.
Now, is this a good thing? A bad thing?
Its hard to know. The private firm that manages the
countys FoodShare Training and Employment Program
(FSTEP) reports that 110 FoodShare recipients in Marathon County have been directed to work since April.
This means that work requirements were theoretically effective for one person out of four. Three out of four
FoodShare recipients, however, have elected to go without the government-provided nutrition.
The numbers parallel state trends. The Department of
Health and Human Services reports that, while nearly
15,000 able-bodied, childless adult FoodShare recipients
were trimmed from the FoodShare program statewide
since September, only about 4,500 people have received
FSTEP employment.
What we have is a messy result. The work requirement
apparently does encourage employment, but at the cost
of denying nutrition to poor, albeit able-bodied adults.
One wonders, then, what these people denied FoodShare
will do to eat. Sell drugs for money? Engage in prostitution? Raid a relatives refrigerator? Rely on community
food pantries? And one wonders, too, about the long-term
consequence of not getting aid. Consider the case of a
man or woman who, while poor, cant work the required
20 hours a week to qualify for FoodShare because he or
she is obligated to take sick parents to the hospital for
cancer treatments. FoodShare may have been the one
thing keeping that persons world from blowing apart.
And now it is gone.
To qualify for FoodShare, a single individual must
earn less than a gross income of $1,276 a month. Thats
the equivalent of working full-time (40 hours) at $7.97 per
hour. The FoodShare benefit is worth $195 a month.
The states new rules can hardly be considered harsh or
particularly punitive. The regulations only require that
able-bodied people without children work. Exemptions
are offered for those with a physical or mental disability,
who are on Social Security and are enrolled in drug or
alcohol counseling, or employment training. Recipients
can even volunteer in lieu of actual work.
Still, one has to wonder what kind of misery can follow
the person shut out from FoodShare and, unhappily, falls
through the cracks of this life.
We find ourselves at the start of the holiday season.
Christmas is near. We all will have opportunities to donate to local charities and food pantries who serve our local needy population. It might be a good idea to put a dollar in that donation pot. Or offer up a couple cans of soup.
Think of it as insurance. Because, whether conservative or liberal, you might be utterly wrong about FoodShare.

To the editor:
Deaths and injuries from drunken
driving crashes devastate individuals,
families and entire communities any
time of year. But during the holiday season, these crashes can cause even more
overwhelming misery.
To get drunken drivers off our roads,
the Colby-Abbotsford Police Department
will join other law enforcement agencies
throughout Wisconsin in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign from
Dec. 18 to Jan. 3.
Our officers are well-trained in identifying the signs of impaired driving, and
they know where and when to look for
drunken drivers. So, while celebrating
the holidays, if youre faced with the
choice of getting behind the wheel while
impaired versus giving up your car keys,
please consider the following:

This time of year, the question inevitably comes up: What do you want for
Christmas? The older I get, the less prepared I am to answer.
With Linda and I getting married just
last year, we were blessed with many
gifts from friends, family and relatives
Ive never even met. This generous outpouring filled our apartment with what
seems like everything we could possibly
need. Aside from

en years (though
EDITOR
Ill probably keep
buying them on
my own), and I feel like I keep running
out of hangers and dresser space to keep
up with all of the new clothing I get every
year.
At this point, Linda and I have become
experienced gift card collectors. Since
both of our birthdays fall in November,
weve recently filled our wallets with
enough plastic to shop at Target and eat
at Buffalo Wild Wings from now until the
beginning of Lent. We never seem to tire
from eating out, and shopping is one of
my wifes all-time favorite recreational
activities, so these cards really do fit our
lifestyle nicely.
Gift cards are a popular option that
shows some level of thoughtfulness on
the part of the gift-giver, but a similar option is considered taboo by many: cold,
hard cash. My late father-in-love used
to love getting money from his kids and
grandkids as gifts, mostly because it gave
him the freedom to buy want he wanted,
I suspect. But many people consider this
to be an impersonal, almost business-like
transaction. If both parties give cash,
you could end up exchanging wrinkled
$20 bills for Christmas. What fun is that?
It may be long overdue for me and other adults in my family to consider giving
gifts outside of our little circle. My sisterin-law recently mentioned sponsoring a
family for Christmas, and I quickly recalled the Toys for Tots gifts we always
used to buy as kids. Regrettably, Ive
drifted away from that kind of charitable
giving as an adult. Its easy for Christmas
to be a very self-centered affair. We spend
so much time worrying about checking
items off our gift list and making sure we
have all our plans in perfect order, we forget about the rest of the world.
Dont get me wrong; holidays should
be about escaping everyday life and treating ourselves a little, but how much does
getting more stuff really matter? The
kids in our lives love it, though, so I guess
I can do a little shopping for their sakes.

Renters in the city of Abbotsford who fall
behind on their water bills will no longer be
automatically eligible for deferred payment
plans if they have defaulted on a previous
agreement within the past year or if they
have owed more than $100 for longer than 90
days.
The Wisconsin Public Service Commission,
which has the ultimate authority to approve
changes to the rules related to water bills, approved the citys requested rule change Nov.
16.
Tenants who have left unpaid water bills
that ended up on a property owners tax bill
within the past two years may also be turned
down for a payment plan. If a tenant accrues a
past-due balance of more than 80 days during
the winter when water shutoffs are put on
hold a payment plan is also not guaranteed.
A state law passed in 2013 allows water utilities to ask the PSC for permission to refuse deferred payment requests from tenants under
certain circumstances. The city applied for
the rule change in August, and a telephonic
hearing was held Nov. 3 in Madison and Abbotsford to give residents a chance to provide
input.
Deferred payment agreements allow a utility customer to make an initial payment on
the amount that is overdue usually half

Carmen Broeske
Carmen R. Broeske, age 89, of Abbotsford passed away on Monday, Nov. 30,
2015, at her home, surrounded by her
loving family under the tender care of
hospice.
Carmen was born on Nov. 12, 1926,
in rural Abbotsford, the daughter of
George and Emma (Ulrich) Schultz. She
attended Pickard School in the town
of Holton. Carmen was united in marriage to Clyde L. Broeske on May 17,
1947, at Christ Lutheran Church in Abbotsford. Together they farmed in the
town of Mayville for 60 years. In 2006,
they moved to Abbotsford.
She was a member of Christ Lutheran Church
where she was an active member of the Priscilla
Guild. She also was a member of the Mayville
Homemakers Club, a square dancing club, and was
a member of many card clubs. Carmen enjoyed
quilting, traveling, including Branson, Hawaii and
many bus trips, and playing cards and games. Most
importantly, she had a strong faith in her Lord and
Savior and was a loving mother and grandmother.
Carmen is survived by her five children, Judith
(Gary) Jicinsky of Marshfield, Susan (Dennis) Brost
Evelyn Colby
Evelyn Colby, 93, was granted eternal
life on Nov. 29, 2015.
Evelyn, the daughter of Fred and Elizabeth Toelle, was born in 1922 in Arpin.
As a member of the Greatest Generation living through the Depression, she
became very resourceful early in life
and was a working woman all her life.
Evelyn was an excellent student. She
graduated from Marshfield High School
in 1939 and attended North Central
Technical Institute and the Wausau Vocational School at the onset of World
War II. Her great memory was still
sharp right up until the last days of her life. She
even won the senior spelling bee at her residence
where she ironically noticed that they spelled her
name incorrectly on her certificate. She had a great
ability to retain detail; she could narrate any drive,
explaining who used to live where, who they were
related to, and all other amazing connections.
Evelyn was a longtime Abbotsford resident who,
for 32 years, co-owned the Casa Grande Supper Club
with her husband, Leonard. She and Len were married on July 4, 1942, at Camp Livingston in Alexandria, La. She worked as a secretary in Wausau while
Len served overseas with General Patton. They lived
in La Crosse following the end of the war where
their first three children were born, prior to the family moving to Abbotsford in 1952. They then began
building many fond memories of the friendships
they made during their years at the Casa Grande.
The work was difficult but overshadowed by the
laughter.
Evelyn developed a knack to be able to get along
with everyone. She enjoyed the company of happy,
optimistic people, and they enjoyed her kindness
and understanding nature. She knew what was important in life: family, friends and helping people in
her subtle, simple way.
Her Catholic faith was very important. She was a
member of St. Bernards Church in Abbotsford.
Evelyn enjoyed sewing and knitting. In fact, she
made over 50 pairs of mittens for neighbor kids. She
loved little children and they naturally took to her.

She was also artistic and could paint reproductions of pictures. She read regularly and always kept photo albums nearby
to relive travels and smile at family members and friends. Evelyn enjoyed music
and loved to dance. Perhaps that explains
her love of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and her general appreciation of movie
musicals.
She was a true Wisconsin gal as she
liked Wisconsin sports teams, and she
particularly liked Bob Uecker and Brett
Favre. It goes without saying that she was
a great cook, both in the restaurant and in
the little home kitchen.
She is survived by four children, Lennie of
Bradenton, Fla., Warren Buck of Abbotsford,
Jim (Sharon) of Abbotsford and Carol of Stevens
Point; six grandchildren, Jennifer (Jon) Williams
of Knoxville, Ten., Scott Jakubowski of Washington, Utah, Keesha (Jamie) Adler of Marshfield,
Sarah (Nicholas) Godwin of Bettendorf, Iowa, Kayla (Travis) Nixdorf of Abbotsford and David Colby
of Stevens Point; and nine great-grandchildren,
Michael, Danek, Szymon and Claire Jakubowski,
Xane, Ciena and Taelyn Adler, and Emma and Wyatt Godwin.
Evelyn was preceded in death by her husband,
Len, in 2010; her son, Michael, in 1992; and her
brother, Dale Toelle, in 1996.
A memorial Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2015, at 11 a.m. at St. Bernards Catholic Church in Abbotsford. Father Peter Manickam
will preside. Family and friends are welcome from
9:30 a.m. until the time of service Saturday at the
church. The Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home
in Abbotsford is assisting the family with the arrangements.
The family would like to thank the staff at the
Colby Retirement Center, Pine Ridge Assisted Living, Golden Living Nursing Home and Asera Care.
This woman of faith loved and was very proud
of her children and their families. She now rests
in peace among beloved others who have passed
before her.
