RICHFIELD — The two
incumbents running for
re-election to the Village
Board insist there are no
plans for the village to
introduce sewer.
One of their challengers
doesn't believe them.
What all four candidates
for two open seats have in
common is they all say
they are opposed to the
idea.
Incumbents Bill Collins
and Rock Brandner are
being challenged in the
April 5 election by Reid
Snedaker and Sandy Voss.
The two-year terms pay
$4,600 per year.
Snedaker waged an
unsuccessful recall cam-
paign against Brandner
last fall.
Eagle Forum will be
holding a candidates
forum from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
on March 31 at the Village
Hall, 4128 Hubertus Road.
In addition to the sewer
issue, the candidates like-
ly will also discuss fiscal
issues such as the village's
surplus fund of about $2
million.
Snedaker said that even
though Village Board
members say there are no
plans for sewer, they aren't
being truthful. He said
their actions speak louder
than their words.
“You can’t put these
homes on shared wells,
put them on shared septic
systems and assume
they’re not going to fail at
some point," Snedaker
said. “They’re creating a
condition that leads to
that end result. The people
have told them over and
over and over again they
don’t want that. It’s like
talking to a door post.”
Brandner said the
Southeastern Wisconsin
Regional Planning Com-
mission has recommend-
ed the village install
sewer, but it has no power
to enforce that recommen-
dation.
“We don’t want no (darn)
sewer,” Brandner said.
“It’s a total lie,” Collins
said. “That has got to be
exposed. It is a total fabri-
cation by a group that is
hostile to the village.”
Voss also said she was
opposed to having sewer
in the village.
“I definitely do not want
sewer,” Voss said. “It is
one of those things, he
said, she said. You kind of
have to wade through
everybody’s comments
and what they heard. How-
ever, if it would come to
Richfield, I would definite-
ly not want sewer. That
would just jump up every-
body’s taxes and nobody
wants that.”

An 8-year-old West Bend boy
will not face homicide and
arson charges in a March 12
fire despite a request for the
West Bend Police Department
for those charges, District
Attorney Mark Bensen said.
“We can’t charge him with a
delinquent act because he’s
under the age of 10,” Bensen
said.
The West Bend Police Depart-
ment forwarded the request for
charges following its investiga-
tion into a house fire at 1029 Ter-
race Drive that resulted in the
death of 29-year-old April Ward.
Bensen said his department
will likely file a petition alleg-
ing the boy is in need of protec-
tion or services. A possible out-
come to the petition would be
placing the boy outside his
home, Bensen said.
According to police reports,
extended family members were
staying at the residence at the
time of the fire at 7:35 p.m.
Those family members told
police the 8-year-old had been
caught starting fires in the
past.
When questioned by police,
the boy initially said he was
working on a Pinewood Derby
car and became upset when it
broke so he started it on fire
and dropped it into a box of
Ward’s personal items, accord-
ing to a police report. The boy
said he tried to put out the fire
but ran upstairs because it was
too big, the report stated.
In a later interview the boy
admitted he was watching TV
with Ward and became upset
with her because she fell asleep
and wouldn’t wake up to give
him his medication, the report
stated.
He said he got mad, took a
lighter from her purse and
began to burn her belongings,
which burned too quickly for
him to extinguish, according to
the report.
The boy told detectives he
lights fires “to release the
stress,” according to the report.
The boy said he has lit fires in
the past, the report stated.
West Bend boy won’t face criminal charges in fatal fire

Candidates competing for the
three open seats on the West
Bend School Board squared off
Tuesday in an at-times heated
forum sponsored by the West
Bend Area Chamber of Com-
merce.
Incumbent Todd Miller and
challengers Mark Maley, Doug
Rakowski and Bart Williams
weighed in on the School Dis-
trict's financial outlook, collec-
tive bargaining and other issues.
Rick Parks, the fifth candi-
date who will appear on the bal-
lot, was unable to attend the
forum because of a scheduling
conflict. Parks' son, Matt, read
prepared opening and closing
statements on his behalf.
Lines were drawn early in the
forum, when Williams in his
opening remarks again called
for Maley to withdrawn from
race given his current status as
a district employee. Maley is
the West Bend West girls bas-
ketball coach.
Rakowski called for more
teacher support and cuts to
administration to balance the
budget. He also suggested that
leadership be more creative
and do a better job of control-
ling spending. All service con-
tracts should be opened and re-
negotiated so suppliers share
in the district's financial bur-
den, he said.
Maley likened cutting admin-
istrators to searching for coins
in the couch cushions, and said
the district will need to “grow,”
not “cut,” to improve its finan-
cial situation. Charter schools
to attract new students to the
district was one possibility, he
offered.

Audrey Matthias, 6, of West Bend practices her reading skills at the West Bend Community Memorial Library by sharing a
book with 5-year-old labrador mix Smitty. Matthias is one of three children who participated Monday in the “Reading with
Rover” program sponsored by the Washington County Humane Society in the town of Polk.
W
est Bend second-grader Jake Formo-
lo practiced his reading skills Mon-

vice dog named Smitty.
Smitty, a labrador/golden retriever mix, is one of
three area dogs who lends an ear to young readers
through the “Reading with Rover” program at the
West Bend Community Memorial Library.
The program started last fall and is a partner-
ship between the library and the Washington
County Humane Society in Slinger.

Michael J.
Herron Jr., 42, of
Oconto Falls, for-
merly of West Bend,
died unexpectedly
on Monday, March
21, 2011, at his resi-
dence.
He was born on
Nov. 5, 1968, in Milwaukee,
to Michael and Donna (nee
Schultz) Herron Sr.
Michael enjoyed the out-
doors, sitting at a campfire
with a beer in one hand and
a cigarette in the other,
telling stories. Some of his
favorite past times were
fishing in the summers,
hunting with his family and
a good game of poker.
Michael could win over a
room instantly with his
smile and charisma. He was
loved deeply by his family
and that love will carry on
in our hearts.
Michael is survived by
his daughter, Amanda
Herron of Watertown;
mother, Donna Herron of
Eden; three sisters,
Michelle (Matt) Chapman of
Kewaskum, Danielle
(Craig) Vollendorf
of the town of
Auburn and Jana
Herron of Eden; his
g r a n d m o t h e r s ,
Stella Herron of
Brookfield and
Colleen Schultz of
West Bend; many aunts;
uncles; cousins; other rela-
tives and friends.
He was preceded in death
by his father, Michael
Herron Sr.; and his grandfa-
thers, Robert Herron and
Robert Schultz Sr.
A celebration of
Michael’s life will be held
Friday, March 25, at the
Amerahn (Highway 45,
Kewaskum) from 6 p.m.
until 9 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, memo-
rials to the family would be
greatly appreciated.

Collins and Brandner are
very proud of the fact the vil-
lage's tax rate of $1.54 per
$1,000 of assessed value is
the lowest of any village in
the county.
“We have to remain con-
servative in Richfield,”
Brandner said. “We have the
lowest village tax in
Washington County. We have
the 26th lowest village tax in
the state of Wisconsin.
Richfield has no debt. We
intend to keep it that way.”
What they do have is a sur-
plus fund, which Collins and
Brandner said is a way for
the village to avoid debt in
the future. Snedaker said the
village has collected too
much in tax revenue.
“I think they do a pretty
poor job of budgeting since
for close to 10 budget cycles,
they have over-budgeted and
under-spent, and have devel-
oped a reserve fund that’s
rapidly approaching $3 mil-
lion,” Snedaker said. “It’s
unnecessarily large. I think
that every municipality
should have a reserve fund,
but the reserve fund in the
village of Richfield right
now is approaching the total
for the annual budget.”
Snedaker's solution is to
spend the money on roads in
the village.
Collins said the surplus
shows good fiscal discipline
by the board.
“We’re not a community
that needs to keep up with the
Joneses,” Collins said. “We
have the things that we need,
we function very well. We
have some nice things. We
have some great parks. We
have some great people that
are helping out in the commu-
nity. Our village hall is suffi-
cient at this point in time.”
Brandner said the recall
attempt last fall cemented
his resolve to run for re-elec-
tion.
“I am not going to let some-
body force me out of office
over a bunch of lies,”
Brandner said. “They insin-
uated I controlled the
Richfield Village Board all
by myself. We all know that’s
wrong. We have a five-person
board. It takes three people
to do anything that we do.”
Voss, who owns her own
insurance agency, is running
to give the board a new voice.
“I’m not really running
because I’m upset about
something or because I have
an axe to grind,” Voss said.
“I’m running to get a new
vision to the board, maybe to
shake things up a bit. Right
now there’s no women on the
board at all. I thought it was
important to have a woman
on the board. The average
age of the Richfield resident
is 39 years old and I feel obvi-
ously, being 40, I am repre-
senting the average age of
Richfield, which the board is
not right now.”
FROM THE FRONT
Richfield: Village Board candidates talk sewer, budget
“Each week a volunteer
from the Washington County
Humane Society takes their
dog into the West Bend
library to have a grade
school student read to a
dog,” said Humane Society
volunteer coordinator Kerry
Kasten. “This allows the stu-
dent the opportunity to
(interact) with a dog, as well
as take an interest in read-
ing.”
Three volunteers and their
dogs participate in the pro-
gram and alternate weeks.
Emma Conti, 7, read “Sam
and the Firefly” to Smitty
this week. It was the second
time she participated in the
program.
“She really enjoys it,” said
Lisa Conti, Emily’s mother,
both of West Bend.
Audrey Matthias, 6, of
West Bend read “Goldie and
the Three Hares,” while
Formolo chose “If Dogs
Ruled the World.”
Reading to the dog can be a
confidence boost for children
because the dog just listens
and does not correct, Kasten
said.
However, if a child is
struggling, Joan Adler of
West Bend, Smitty’s handler,
will step in.
In addition to the public
library, Adler also takes
Smitty to Kewaskum
Elementary School where he
listens to students read.
“Depending on the stu-
dent, an opportunity to read
with Smitty could be an
incentive to do more read-
ing,” Adler said.
The program with Smitty
at KES has been a big hit
with students, according to
reading specialist Mary
Metz.
“The kids love when
Smitty is here,” she said. “I
think that positive attitude
toward reading carries
through to their school day.”
The WCHS-sponsored pro-
gram in West Bend offers
students in the community
the same opportunity, from 3
until 4:30 p.m. every Monday,
according to Young Adult
Librarian Kristin Pekoll.
Each Monday there are six
15-minute reading sessions
for children. Signup sheets
are available in the Young
Adult section of the library
and are reserved on a first-
come first-serve basis.

program, visit www.west-

Williams suggested that all
district employees — not just
teachers — should be con-
tributing more to their health
and retirement benefits to
bring expenses down.
Eliminating administrators
— he sited specifically the
dean of students position at
Badger Middle School where
there is also a principal and
assistant principal — would
also be a cost-saving measure.
Miller maintained that
there isn't excess spending
in the district to cut.
Although Parks was not at
the meeting, in his closing
statement, he endorsed
Miller and Maley.
Open records requests
made to the district about
Maley and Williams also
emerged as a sore spot dur-
ing the forum. Under state
law, members of the public
can request access to many
government records, includ-
ing email exchanges.
Maley said he was insulted
by open record requests
made by Williams. The first
was filed by Williams' wife in
February seeking all records
pertaining to Maley since
2005. The second was filed by
Williams himself on March
10 seeking information
about Maley's salary and
benefits.
Williams said his open
record requests came after
West Bend resident Kathy
Meindl filed an open records
request about him. Meindl
requested all written docu-
ments exchanged between
Williams and the School
Board, and Williams and the
administrators since 2005.
About a week after
Meindl's request came the
request from Williams’ wife,
which also sought records on
Meindl and all documents
regarding the compensation
and benefits for the superin-
tendent.
Williams said he stood by
his open records requests.

One of their challengers doesn't believe them. What all four candidates for two open seats have in common is they all say they are opposed to the idea. Incumbents Bill Collins and Rock Brandner are being challenged in the April 5 election by Reid Snedaker and Sandy Voss. The two-year terms pay $4,600 per year. Snedaker waged an unsuccessful recall cam- paign against Brandner last fall. Eagle Forum will be holding a candidates forum from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on March 31 at the Village Hall, 4128 Hubertus Road. In addition to the sewer issue, the candidates like- ly will also discuss fiscal issues such as the village's surplus fund of about $2 million. Snedaker said that even though Village Board members say there are no plans for sewer, they aren't being truthful. He said their actions speak louder than their words. “You can’t put these homes on shared wells, put them on shared septic systems and assume they’re not going to fail at some point," Snedaker said. “They’re creating a condition that leads to that end result. The people have told them over and over and over again they don’t want that. It’s like talking to a door post.” Brandner said the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Com- mission has recommend- ed the village install sewer, but it has no power to enforce that recommen- dation. “We don’t want no (darn) sewer,” Brandner said. “It’s a total lie,” Collins said. “That has got to be exposed. It is a total fabri- cation by a group that is hostile to the village.” Voss also said she was opposed to having sewer in the village. “I definitely do not want sewer,” Voss said. “It is one of those things, he said, she said. You kind of have to wade through everybody’s comments and what they heard. How- ever, if it would come to Richfield, I would definite- ly not want sewer. That would just jump up every- body’s taxes and nobody wants that.” Learn techniques for cake, cupcake and cookie decorating.

The West Bend Police Depart- ment forwarded the request for charges following its investiga- tion into a house fire at 1029 Ter- race Drive that resulted in the death of 29-year-old April Ward. Bensen said his department will likely file a petition alleg- ing the boy is in need of protec- tion or services. A possible out- come to the petition would be placing the boy outside his home, Bensen said. According to police reports, extended family members were staying at the residence at the time of the fire at 7:35 p.m. Those family members told police the 8-year-old had been caught starting fires in the past. When questioned by police, the boy initially said he was working on a Pinewood Derby car and became upset when it broke so he started it on fire and dropped it into a box of Ward’s personal items, accord- ing to a police report. The boy said he tried to put out the fire but ran upstairs because it was too big, the report stated. In a later interview the boy admitted he was watching TV with Ward and became upset with her because she fell asleep and wouldn’t wake up to give him his medication, the report stated. He said he got mad, took a lighter from her purse and began to burn her belongings, which burned too quickly for him to extinguish, according to the report. The boy told detectives he lights fires “to release the stress,” according to the report. The boy said he has lit fires in the past, the report stated. West Bend boy won’t face criminal charges in fatal fire By KRISTEN J. KUBISIAK Daily News Staff Candidates competing for the three open seats on the West Bend School Board squared off Tuesday in an at-times heated forum sponsored by the West Bend Area Chamber of Com- merce. Incumbent Todd Miller and challengers Mark Maley, Doug Rakowski and Bart Williams weighed in on the School Dis- trict's financial outlook, collec- tive bargaining and other issues. Rick Parks, the fifth candi- date who will appear on the bal- lot, was unable to attend the forum because of a scheduling conflict. Parks' son, Matt, read prepared opening and closing statements on his behalf. Lines were drawn early in the forum, when Williams in his opening remarks again called for Maley to withdrawn from race given his current status as a district employee. Maley is the West Bend West girls bas- ketball coach. Rakowski called for more teacher support and cuts to administration to balance the budget. He also suggested that leadership be more creative and do a better job of control- ling spending. All service con- tracts should be opened and re- negotiated so suppliers share in the district's financial bur- den, he said. Maley likened cutting admin- istrators to searching for coins in the couch cushions, and said the district will need to “grow,” not “cut,” to improve its finan- cial situation. Charter schools to attract new students to the district was one possibility, he offered. School Board candidates differ on budget fixes Kristen J. Kubisiak/Daily News Staff Audrey Matthias, 6, of West Bend practices her reading skills at the West Bend Community Memorial Library by sharing a book with 5-year-old labrador mix Smitty. Matthias is one of three children who participated Monday in the “Reading with Rover” program sponsored by the Washington County Humane Society in the town of Polk. W est Bend second-grader Jake Formo- lo practiced his reading skills Mon- day afternoon by sharing a book with a new friend: a 5-year-old ser- vice dog named Smitty. Smitty, a labrador/golden retriever mix, is one of three area dogs who lends an ear to young readers through the “Reading with Rover” program at the West Bend Community Memorial Library.

Herron Jr., 42, of Oconto Falls, for- merly of West Bend, died unexpectedly on Monday, March 21, 2011, at his resi- dence. He was born on Nov. 5, 1968, in Milwaukee, to Michael and Donna (nee Schultz) Herron Sr. Michael enjoyed the out- doors, sitting at a campfire with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other, telling stories. Some of his favorite past times were fishing in the summers, hunting with his family and a good game of poker. Michael could win over a room instantly with his smile and charisma. He was loved deeply by his family and that love will carry on in our hearts. Michael is survived by his daughter, Amanda Herron of Watertown; mother, Donna Herron of Eden; three sisters, Michelle (Matt) Chapman of Kewaskum, Danielle (Craig) Vollendorf of the town of Auburn and Jana Herron of Eden; his g r a n d m o t h e r s , Stella Herron of Brookfield and Colleen Schultz of West Bend; many aunts; uncles; cousins; other rela- tives and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Michael Herron Sr.; and his grandfa- thers, Robert Herron and Robert Schultz Sr. A celebration of Michael’s life will be held Friday, March 25, at the Amerahn (Highway 45, Kewaskum) from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memo- rials to the family would be greatly appreciated. Myrhum-Patten Funeral & Cremation Service of West Bend is serving the family. Online guest book and condolences may be found at www.myrhum-pat- ten.com. Michael J. Herron Jr., 42 Collins and Brandner are very proud of the fact the vil- lage's tax rate of $1.54 per $1,000 of assessed value is the lowest of any village in the county. “We have to remain con- servative in Richfield,” Brandner said. “We have the lowest village tax in Washington County. We have the 26th lowest village tax in the state of Wisconsin. Richfield has no debt. We intend to keep it that way.” What they do have is a sur- plus fund, which Collins and Brandner said is a way for the village to avoid debt in the future. Snedaker said the village has collected too much in tax revenue. “I think they do a pretty poor job of budgeting since for close to 10 budget cycles, they have over-budgeted and under-spent, and have devel- oped a reserve fund that’s rapidly approaching $3 mil- lion,” Snedaker said. “It’s unnecessarily large. I think that every municipality should have a reserve fund, but the reserve fund in the village of Richfield right now is approaching the total for the annual budget.” Snedaker's solution is to spend the money on roads in the village. Collins said the surplus shows good fiscal discipline by the board. “We’re not a community that needs to keep up with the Joneses,” Collins said. “We have the things that we need, we function very well. We have some nice things. We have some great parks. We have some great people that are helping out in the commu- nity. Our village hall is suffi- cient at this point in time.” Brandner said the recall attempt last fall cemented his resolve to run for re-elec- tion. “I am not going to let some- body force me out of office over a bunch of lies,” Brandner said. “They insin- uated I controlled the Richfield Village Board all by myself. We all know that’s wrong. We have a five-person board. It takes three people to do anything that we do.” Voss, who owns her own insurance agency, is running to give the board a new voice. “I’m not really running because I’m upset about something or because I have an axe to grind,” Voss said. “I’m running to get a new vision to the board, maybe to shake things up a bit. Right now there’s no women on the board at all. I thought it was important to have a woman on the board. The average age of the Richfield resident is 39 years old and I feel obvi- ously, being 40, I am repre- senting the average age of Richfield, which the board is not right now.” FROM THE FRONT Richfield: Village Board candidates talk sewer, budget “Each week a volunteer from the Washington County Humane Society takes their dog into the West Bend library to have a grade school student read to a dog,” said Humane Society volunteer coordinator Kerry Kasten. “This allows the stu- dent the opportunity to (interact) with a dog, as well as take an interest in read- ing.” Three volunteers and their dogs participate in the pro- gram and alternate weeks. Emma Conti, 7, read “Sam and the Firefly” to Smitty this week. It was the second time she participated in the program. “She really enjoys it,” said Lisa Conti, Emily’s mother, both of West Bend. Audrey Matthias, 6, of West Bend read “Goldie and the Three Hares,” while Formolo chose “If Dogs Ruled the World.” Reading to the dog can be a confidence boost for children because the dog just listens and does not correct, Kasten said. However, if a child is struggling, Joan Adler of West Bend, Smitty’s handler, will step in. In addition to the public library, Adler also takes Smitty to Kewaskum Elementary School where he listens to students read. “Depending on the stu- dent, an opportunity to read with Smitty could be an incentive to do more read- ing,” Adler said. The program with Smitty at KES has been a big hit with students, according to reading specialist Mary Metz. “The kids love when Smitty is here,” she said. “I think that positive attitude toward reading carries through to their school day.” The WCHS-sponsored pro- gram in West Bend offers students in the community the same opportunity, from 3 until 4:30 p.m. every Monday, according to Young Adult Librarian Kristin Pekoll. Each Monday there are six 15-minute reading sessions for children. Signup sheets are available in the Young Adult section of the library and are reserved on a first- come first-serve basis.

Williams suggested that all district employees — not just teachers — should be con- tributing more to their health and retirement benefits to bring expenses down. Eliminating administrators — he sited specifically the dean of students position at Badger Middle School where there is also a principal and assistant principal — would also be a cost-saving measure. Miller maintained that there isn't excess spending in the district to cut. Although Parks was not at the meeting, in his closing statement, he endorsed Miller and Maley. Open records requests made to the district about Maley and Williams also emerged as a sore spot dur- ing the forum. Under state law, members of the public can request access to many government records, includ- ing email exchanges. Maley said he was insulted by open record requests made by Williams. The first was filed by Williams' wife in February seeking all records pertaining to Maley since 2005. The second was filed by Williams himself on March 10 seeking information about Maley's salary and benefits. Williams said his open record requests came after West Bend resident Kathy Meindl filed an open records request about him. Meindl requested all written docu- ments exchanged between Williams and the School Board, and Williams and the administrators since 2005. About a week after Meindl's request came the request from Williams’ wife, which also sought records on Meindl and all documents regarding the compensation and benefits for the superin- tendent. Williams said he stood by his open records requests. School Board: Candidates participate in forum REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS MARCH 9 Dean C. and Karen E. Ellefson to Robert L.
