By Katie NeitzelWomen’s Fund development and communications manager

Over the last eight weeks, Oshkosh Herald contributor Samantha Strong shared with the community the realities of poverty in Oshkosh, and specifically its ef-fect on women. The information shared is shocking, but not unfamiliar to the Wom-en’s Fund of the Oshkosh Area Communi-ty Foundation.

Having been a partner in the Status of Women in Northeast Wisconsin Report for the past eight years, the Women’s Fund has seen the numbers regarding women

and poverty only increase. The clear evi-dence found in the report convinced the Women’s Fund it was time to take a proac-tive approach at supporting women who are living in poverty.

Oftentimes women living in poverty are a product of generational poverty. They grew up living in poverty and most like-ly their parents did as well. To truly help a woman get out of poverty, the barriers

preventing her from being self-sufficient must be broken, especially if she has chil-dren.

The Women’s Fund has implemented a new program — RISE 2.0 — to do just that. With all her basic needs taken care of, a mother can focus on becoming self-suffi-cient and getting her family out of poverty.

The Women’s Fund is not alone in this

venture, which was started at the begin-ning of 2018. Partner Evergreen Retire-ment Community has provided houses on their property for two mothers who are required to pay 25 percent of their income to rent and must either have a job or be in school. In collaboration with Christine

Menominee Nation Arena, home of the Milwaukee Bucks’ G League team the Herd, is in the midst of back payment claims.

Arena faces legal challenges Lawsuits seek back payment; Herd could take over operations

By Miles MaguireHerald contributor

The Wisconsin Herd said it is ready to operate the Menominee Nation Arena in the wake of two lawsuits filed last week against the facility’s developer, which has been described as essentially bankrupt.

“We remain committed today, and in the foreseeable future, to working with Bayland Buildings to operate Menominee Nation Arena and will continue to make it the best venue in the G League,” said Wisconsin Herd President Steve Brandes in an email statement.

Bayland is the Green Bay company that served as general contractor on the proj-ect and that last week sued the developer, Fox Valley Pro Basketball Inc., for an un-paid bill of more than $13 million.

In its filing Bayland asked the court to appoint Paul Swanson, an Oshkosh attor-ney who is highly regarded for his work on restructurings and bankruptcies, to serve as receiver and take control of the arena.

“We care deeply about the city of Osh-kosh, the entire Fox Valley and our incredi-bly supportive Herd fans, and are excited to build on the roots we established in this area as operator of the Menominee Nation Are-na,” Brandes said. “We are proud to be part of the community, excited for the upcoming season and dedicated to continuing the suc-cess of G League basketball in Oshkosh.”

“I am encouraged that the Herd remain committed to staying in Oshkosh and appreciate their willingness to work with Bayland and whoever ultimately assumes ownership responsibilities for the arena,”

said City Manager Mark Rohloff.A hearing is set Sept. 6 before Judge John

A. Jorgensen in the Bayland case.Swanson declined comment until after

the receivership request is decided.In addition to the Bayland action, a sec-

ond lawsuit was filed by local business-man Eric Hoopman, who says the devel-oper is $100,000 behind in its payments to him. He argued that Fox Valley should be forced to settle this debt and return $1 million in principal. Hoopman lent Fox Valley this amount at a rate of 18 percent in January 2018, court papers show.

The city has agreed to pay up to $5.5 million in tax incentives to the developer. But none of this money has been paid out

Winnebago panel censures coronerBy Miles MaguireHerald contributor

Winnebago County’s Judiciary and Public Safety Committee voted unani-mously Monday to censure Coroner Bar-ry Busby and to put on record its lack of confidence in his job performance.

The censure resolution references Bus-by’s frequent travels out of state, added costs to taxpayers because of his absences and sexual harassment complaints “some of which Mr. Busby does not deny.” The resolution next goes to the full Board of Su-pervisors and would be sent to Gov. Tony Evers, who has the power to remove Busby from office under the state constitution.

Busby attended the committee meeting along with members of his staff, but he was

not on the agenda and did not speak. After the vote he denounced the action and said the committee members were “being fed a lot of ” excrement. “The truth will come out, and the people who are smearing will be dealt with accordingly,” he said.

The vote came after the panel heard tes-timony from former deputy coroner Don-na Francart. She was fired by Busby after filing a sexual harassment complaint that was not upheld by the county but led to the county making arrangements to keep the two of them from meeting face to face.

Francart added a new area of concern, al-leging Busby had encouraged funeral home owners to push for organ donations as a way of funneling commissions to a Busby relative who was working for a tissue bank.

Committee members said they had

heard similar stories before. Francart’s testimony “will not be ignored,” said com-mittee chairman Bill Wingren.

The committee went behind closed doors for an hour before voting on the no- confidence motion.

Previously the committee has held at least two closed-door meetings on Bus-by, who was re-elected in November but since then has spent long periods of time out of state and fired his top deputy while awaiting the results of a sexual harassment investigation by the Wisconsin Coroners and Medical Examiners Association.

The former chief deputy coroner has accused of Busby of misusing county re-sources by applying travel funds to train-ing conferences but then skipping the sessions to play golf. The former deputy, Chris Shea, also said Busby treated the office administrator “as his own personal assistant for countless hours” of private business, including dealing with family members, handling paperwork and ar-ranging personal travel.

The coroner, a Republican, has served in that office for 22 years and earns an an-nual salary of $72,989. He oversees a bud-get of slightly more than $500,000 and is assisted by three part-time workers: an administrative associate and two deputy coroners.

Busby, 72, has enjoyed high regard among voters and taken a high-profile role in initiatives to deal with suicide and drug overdoses.

“This investigation is continuing” Win-gren said, adding that a private attorney has been hired to carry out the probe of Busby’s conduct. Miles Maguire is editor of the Oshkosh Examiner news blog.

The Oshkosh Area School District works with first responders to protect the safety of students, faculty, staff and the financial investment into all its schools, and Superintendent Vicki Cartwright said people should be proud of the work being done.

“We have one of the best safety teams in the state as we meet monthly with OPD (Oshkosh Police Department), OFD (Fire Department), sheriff, EMS, SWAT, bus company, county nurse, school ad-ministrators, school nurse, and others re-garding school safety and response situa-tions,” Cartwright said.

The district applied for and received two safety grants from the state this year to enhance building security at all schools, which amounted to nearly $1.6 million in improvements, Cartwright said. She said the money was used for technical and physical safety improvements.

“We have also had a safety budget for many years and make improvements an-nually,” she said.

District administrators received the “latest training” last year, Cartwright said, and have reinforced what they learned since with required online courses.

An example of the once-a-year full-scale training that administrators practice with first responders is the mock exercise that was held Monday at Traeger Elementary and Middle School.

Students practice safety incident action plan drills at least twice annually.

All schools have threat assessment teams that have been approved and improved by

an OPD walk-through. Cartwright said staff and students having a respectful rela-tionship also improves defense.

“One of the best tools we have in the area of threats is having a caring staff that has developed positive relationships with students,” Cartwright said, noting that previous threat situations have been pre-cluded by students knowing and telling administrators about it.

The superintendent develops and su-pervises a program for the security of the district’s students, staff, visitors, school buildings, school grounds and school equipment in compliance with state and federal laws, school policy reads.

Every effort can be made to apprehend people who knowingly plan or cause seri-ous physical harm to students, staff, visi-tors and district property.

School doors are locked when class is in session and any visitor must complete a series of check-ins and check-outs before they will be allowed into the halls. No of-ficer is on school grounds throughout the day but a liaison officer can be called if a staff member or student spots a threat or person not following policy.

Each school has a safety plan that is reviewed annually and resubmitted to the district school board for approval no less than every three years.

The school district does not publish its active shooter policy. This is a defense strategy that adds another layer of protec-tion, Cartwright said.

Winnebago County Sheriff John Matz said active shooter training has become a priority topic in law enforcement today.

“We have range training next week, and before we head out there we will be dis-

cussing the active shooter policy,” Matz said.

Matz said the county is not complacent to improve the policy. He said monthly meetings are held and active shooter train-ing is the topic discussed. He said grants from the Alert Lockdown Inform Count-er Evacuation training institute, which provides civilian response training, have helped.

Matz said the most recent threat to the district came this summer. He said not many people were at the school and the situation was handled. Matz said the sheriff ’s office takes threats more serious-ly than previous police departments have. He said the efforts are part of today’s cli-mate.

The officers practice active shooter-training at district schools once a year in the summer when students aren’t around and buildings are open, Matz said. He said having student “actors” helps and with parents’ permission can help further their training and readiness.

One student wrote on Niche.com, a website that acts as a report card for school districts, that his Oshkosh high school re-ceived “multiple threats” while he attend-ed, but “the administration stays on top of it and keeps all kids safe.”

Since the Columbine High School shooting 20 years ago where 12 students and a teacher were killed by two gunmen, five school shootings have happened in Wisconsin, one at a school dance.

School district’s safety policy gets steady funding

Fifty-five thousand youth Adventists are in Oshkosh this week to volunteer at 57 charities throughout the Fox Valley and celebrate their faith. The Seventh Day Adventist Church and their International Pathfinder Camporees make their fifth re-turn in 20 years.

The campers resemble a Scout program in uniform and activity. While they are here, they will be staying on the Experi-mental Aircraft Association’s AirVenture Campgrounds.

Each night campers will be on the main stage entertaining with plays, a 300-person choir, keynote speakers and more. During the day, campers will perform drum line routines, play sports, go on plane rides and be baptized.

The campers come from Texas, Cali-fornia, New York, Florida, Georgia, Ken-

tucky, Mississippi and Tennessee, as well as the United Kingdom, South America, Asia, Central America and Africa.

Campers have been selling pizzas, wash-ing cars, hosting yard sales and flea mar-kets so that they could raise money for the event.

Tickets to visit the campers sold out six months ago, director of communications Daniel Weber said, but there will be a wa-terski show at 2 p.m. Thursday that is open to the public and sponsored by the Path-finders.

“It’s a way of saying thank you to the great Oshkosh community for their sup-port of our event,” Weber said. The show will be at 200 Campbell St. near the senior center.

The city’s Planning Commission ap-proved everything on the agenda at its Aug. 6 meeting including a home remodel, out-door storage sight, an enclosed parking ga-rage and a monument sign. Landscaping was a word that was used often throughout the meeting as commission members made sure that visual appeal was included in plan-ning negotiations.

Among its actions, the commission:• Approved a privilege-in-the-street

groundwater monitoring well that mon-itors contamination in groundwater. The well will go in at East Custer Avenue and

Grand Street. • Approved a traffic and lighting control

easement of 12 by 6 feet at Oregon Street and West 20th Avenue.

• Approved by a 9-0 vote the widen-ing of a right of way on the west side of North Koeller Street between the path of Rath Lane and Oshkosh Avenue, which leads to Oshkosh Corp. global headquar-ters that would take down a few trees. The city said the trees would be replaced.

• Allowed the owners of a home on Crimson Lane to remodel, which includ-ed a window-area reduction. The reduc-tion was greater than 10 percent, which required a variance request and approval.

• Said OK to a conditional use permit for outdoor storage at 2815 Bowen St. The storage will have an 8-foot-tall wooden fence enclosing the property. One mem-ber of the public asked if the fence was suf-ficient and appealing enough to be in a res-idential neighborhood. The commission and person who sought the permit said it would be.

• Allowed a zone change, or “cleanup” as Mayor Lori Palmeri termed it for a property between a suburban mixed-use district and a duplex residential. The prop-erty seeking the change was an oddity be-cause it was the only property in its line not considered a duplex residential.

• Approved a general development plan and special implementation plan for Dale School Apartments at 207 E. Irving Ave. with conditions. One being added land-scaping and another being a dumpster. The development calls for an enclosed parking garage of 15 spaces, replacing the current 15 open parking spaces.

• Approved a 9.4-foot-tall by 9-foot-wide internally lit monument sign at Block Iron & Supply Co., 1016 Witzel Ave. Oth-er signs appear along Witzel, “so this re-quest isn’t out of character,” a committee member said, but the sign will modify the standard base setback because of a build-ing at 1000 Witzel that presses the right of way. The requester said the Harold Car-penter building would block the view of the sign, making it was necessary to move the sign closer to the street.

The structure at 851 S Main St., built in 1900 and known as the Miles Kimball building, whose owner proposed a rede-sign with a special implementation plan for glass staircases and a rooftop bar and patio, will not be going through with those design ideas. The building will go ahead with other design concepts that included office spaces.

The committee said they were happy to see the building being improved and moved along.

Comedy night returns to the brewery off the beaten path Aug. 22 with four com-ics and a selection of 15 house brews of seasonal specials and year-round favorites served by a three-person wait-staff.

Bare Bones Brewery, found at 4362 County S, will host comedians Krains Butter, John Berens, Nick Brandl and Nate Lee. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8.

Fox Valley Comedy brings years of experience and integrity in the comedy industry supporting local, regional and national acts. Lyle Sidney, Fox Valley Comedy promoter, said Bare Bones has helped support that effort with a clean place, good food and cold beer that has been drawing a crowd.

Of the comedians performing, one is an Oshkosh West High School teacher who routinely does improv at The Backlot Comedy House. Another is a University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh graduate making the trip from Milwaukee and another is the brother of viral comedian Charlie Ber-ens of “Manitowoc Minute” fame. Butter, according to Sydney, is a veteran who is sharp and saved for the closer.

The comedy scene has been building from Green Bay to Fond du Lac and it is

because of the friendship that has been built among a “great group of guys” who are supportive of each other’s acts and who want to see the community grow in a positive way, Sydney said.

“I’ve heard of comedians sleeping on each other’s couches when they needed a place to stay or car-pooling from Milwau-kee to Green Bay,” he said.

He said there was a power outage at the previous show four hours before it was scheduled to begin and people who bought tickets still showed up, nobody asked for a refund and the beer was still served cold.

Oshkosh Beer blogger Lee Reiherzer said Bare Bones Brewery has quickly made its presence known in northeast Wiscon-sin’s thriving beer scene “with its creative mix of brews ranging from the traditional to the innovative.” People reviewing on Facebook recommended the hoppy Dog Daze, red Amber Ale and American light Oshkosh Lager.

In 2015 Bare Bones became the first brewery in 20 years to open its doors here by the work of Dan and Patti Dringoli, who own PuroClean. The Dringolis said they want to push the envelope with their special take on American style beverages crafted by head brewer Jody Cleveland.

Cleveland started as a homebrewer and

was hired at Bare Bones as an assistant. He returned as head brewer in 2018 af-ter some time spent at Fox River Brewing Co. Cleveland said he likes to read about brewing beer and that his hobby quickly became a passion.

Associate brewer Brad Gorzek was hired with a background in ethnobotany and ecology. Gorzek also roasts coffee beans and has an original Unleashed Se-ries of brews. Gorzek is said to bring his griffon dog Barley around who he said is OK with being petted.

Admission is $10 at barebonescomedy.brownpapertickets.com or $15 at the door.

Aug. 1, 1960Report first Dutch Elm disease

case in city limits: City officials were alerted Saturday by the state De-partment of Agriculture of a first case of Dutch elm disease within the city limits. Two other trees at Stoney Beach were reported infect-ed. The infected tree in the city, a small one, is to be destroyed imme-diately by the owner. A mature tree nearby apparently shows no sign of the disease. At Stoney Beach, owners of the infected trees, both large shade elms, were notified early last week. The city manager

said they have been destroyed in an effort to halt the spread of the infection, which has virtually wiped out elms in some parts of the state and in Illinois. Property owners have been urged to keep a close check on their elms. The state said one infected tree was discovered in Neenah but none at Omro or Win-neconne.

Overdose fatality review recommends solutionsBy Bethanie GenglerHerald contributor

Winnebago County experienced a re-cord-high 34 overdose fatalities in 2017, prompting the creation of an Overdose Fatality Review (OFR) team to study overdose deaths, share data and develop strategies for prevention.

The OFR team established in 2018 through an award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is facil-itated by the Winnebago County Health Department and partnered with 25 com-munity agencies.

Stephanie Gyldenvand of the Health Department said the team reviews about two overdose deaths per month, with opi-oids including fentanyl and heroin being the most prevalent in those fatalities.

“The reviews operate in a way that partners bring data to the table and walk through the person’s life from the instance of the overdose back through their whole life to get a better understanding of who this person is and where there could have been an opportunity for intervention along the way,” she said.

In 2018, 24 people lost their lives due to overdose in the county. By comparison, last month Milwaukee County reported 14 probable overdoses within a four-day span.

Gyldenvand said some of the overdose cases reviewed by the team involved in-dividuals with a history of receiving pre-scription opioids for pain.

“It’s a mixture of people who have had the prescription history that involved opi-ates and for some that did not have the pre-scription history, but we are seeing some connections between other prescription drugs and overdose deaths,” she said.

OFR team member Sarahjean Schluec-htermann said the group has noticed an increase in overdose cases that include non-opioid drugs including gabapentin, a drug typically used to treat nerve pain and seizures.

“We are currently trying to look at all of the toxicology and get a better under-standing of some of the prescription med-ications that are popping up,” Schluechter-mann said.

In 2016 the CDC recommended ga-bapentin as an alternative to opioids for pain management.

Team member Dr. Eric Smiltneek said when users combine gabapentin with oth-er drugs they feel an enhanced effect. He said gabapentin “makes the high from opi-oids last longer and can make people feel intoxicated.”

Smiltneek said the OFR team’s reviews showed gabapentin “was tied for the fourth most common substance and the most common prescription drug — tied with alprazolam — that was present in people dying of fatal overdoses.”

Andrea Magermans, managing director of the Wisconsin Prescription Drug Mon-itoring Program, said gabapentin is part of the program in some states but is not con-sidered a controlled substance in Wiscon-sin and is not federally controlled.

“It’s hard to isolate gabapentin and its potential for abuse alone because it’s often found in conjunction with other drugs,” Magermans said.

Schluechtermann said the team’s reviews provide the county with data dealing with the changing trends in drug abuse, includ-ing the increasing use of gabapentin.

“The benefits of us looking at overdose deaths is, as substance abuse changes over the years we are prepared to still work across partner collaboration to impact what’s happening in our community at that time,” she said.

Gyldenvand said the team has noticed that individuals being released from jail are more likely to overdose and often when someone overdoses, a friend or family member overdoses shortly after. She said there has been an increase in cas-es where people have overdosed and died from opiates they had not planned on tak-ing.

“Fentanyl and other opiates are being cut into drugs and so people who are in-tending to use an entirely different drug are finding that they are overdosing and they don’t have Narcan on hand because they were never planning to use opiates,” she said.

Narcan and naloxone are drugs that can be used to reverse opioid overdoses.

Of the 2018 overdose fatalities in Win-nebago County, all of the individuals were Caucasian and all of the overdoses oc-curred in homes.

Based on these common themes the OFR team developed 11 recommenda-tions to reduce overdoses and help pre-vent future deaths in Oshkosh and sur-rounding communities.

“Some of the recommendations are un-derway and some of them are fulfilled and some of them we are still working to im-plement,” Gyldenvand said.

The recommendations include the cre-ation of a referral-to-help card, developing a system to map drug overdoses and inter-actions, creating a regional cross-county overdose response team, and greater access and availability of Narcan and naloxone.

“Ultimately we’d love to see all CPR training in our region to include Narcan training as well,” Gyldenvand said.

The recommendations also include the creation of a Law Enforcement Addiction Assistance program, known as LEAAP, which allows residents and individuals who attend school in Oshkosh to reach out to law enforcement for addiction as-sistance without fear of being prosecuted.

Brandon Ansell of the Oshkosh Police Department said LEAAP is already under-way and designed to provide amnesty for illegal drugs and paraphernalia to individu-als who voluntarily enter the program.

“Somebody can come and present to law enforcement themselves, come to the front desk, bring drugs with them, hand it over on the desk and say, ‘I’m a heroin ad-dict, I need help, take these drugs,’” Ansell said. “By entering this program voluntarily we can take the drugs without them being afraid of being prosecuted with the prom-ise that you won’t be arrested at any point in time as you enter the program.”

Tony Prekop of the Winnebago County District Attorney’s Office said he hopes LEAAP can eventually be used as an al-ternative to prosecution in drug arrests where individuals agree to receive treat-ment for their addiction.

“My office has no desire to charge any-body who voluntarily seeks help,” he said.

Gyldenvand said it’s not one single organization or agency that’s going to solve the issue of overdoses in Winnebago County. It needs to be a partnership.

“It takes a community, it takes working together, and it takes a systematic approach of looking at what can we do to really have some earlier intervention and how can we prevent some of the overdose deaths from happening in the first place,” she said.

Addiction expert describes local problems, strategiesBy Bethanie GenglerHerald contributor

A physician in addiction medicine for Aurora Health Care described to a local audience last week the problems he en-counters daily in Oshkosh and Winneba-go County and the extensive work being done to meet those challenges.

Dr. Eric Smiltneek, who also serves as medical director of Nova Counsel-ing Services and is a consultant for the State Targeted Response-Technical As-sistance program that focuses on opioid use prevention, gave a presentation to the Oshkosh Rotary Southwest at its Aug. 7 meeting at the Best Western Premier Wa-terfront Hotel & Convention Center.

Smiltneek began his presentation by discussing the difficulty of defining ad-diction. He said there are two concepts he considers: loss of control and unmanage-ability. He said addiction does not only relate to drugs.

“A lot of times people get mixed up in substance and the absence of substance,” he said.

Smiltneek referenced a national sur-vey that showed in 2018 Oshkosh ranked sixth out of 380 cities nationally in exces-sive alcohol consumption.

“This area of the state is one of the drunkest areas in the entire country,” he said. “The other thing is, we remain sort of a hub for heroin distribution.”

In addition to alcohol and heroin, Smilt-neek said Oshkosh has seen overdoses that include fentanyl, methamphetamine, ben-zodiazepines and cocaine. He said many drugs pass through Oshkosh on what he calls the heroin highway.

“We have a lot of drugs in this commu-nity, even if they don’t stay in this commu-

nity,” he said.Smiltneek recalled that about a year ago

he found a needle on the sidewalk while walking his children to school in Oshkosh.

“This really disturbed me,” he said. “This is by my house; where I live, where I work, it’s not in some shady neighborhood that’s around. I decided I really didn’t want that in my community.”

Smiltneek said Winnebago County is taking many steps to deal with the opioid crisis and to provide services for those in recovery.

“Recovery is basically working towards or regaining your best self,” he said.

Smiltneek said Nova Counseling Ser-vices is expanding the capacity of its 90-day transitional living program, Solution’s recovery center is expanding its recovery housing program that offers a sober place to live for up to a year, and Advocate Au-rora has opened an addiction medicine program in the city.

He said several pharmacies are also working together to increase the availabil-ity of Narcan, a drug used to reverse over-doses, without a prescription.

“It’s been shown that if your communi-ty has more Narcan it has less overdoses,” Smiltneek said. “If we really want to save people’s lives we need to get on board with Narcan.”

Smiltneek encouraged Oshkosh resi-dents to take action to help create an ad-diction-free community.

“You are leaders in this community so you can make change in this community,” he said. “What are some things that I can do in my community here, in the places that I work and in my home that may be more supportive of recovery and less sup-portive of addictive processes?”

yet. The developer is not eligible for the first installment of these payments until Nov. 1 and would have to settle outstand-ing bills from the city first.

“All property taxes were paid for the property, however the city does have out-standing bills for police and fire services ($12,658.64), utilities ($4,419.87) and other general invoices ($172.71),” City At-torney Lynn Lorenson wrote in a memo to the Common Council last week. “The city expects these outstanding costs to be paid.”

Bayland’s lawsuit paints a bleak picture of the situation at 1212 S. Main St., where the new arena has replaced a derelict fac-tory and has been seen as the catalyst for the revitalization of the surrounding area, now called the Sawdust District.

The facility has drawn thousands to mi-nor league basketball games, concerts and other events since its opening in late 2017.

But the developer owes Bayland $13 million and is in default “of the develop-ment agreement with the city of Oshkosh, its obligations to the Milwaukee Bucks LLC and its obligations to other credi-tors,” the Bayland lawsuit says.

Bayland says it was told by Fox Valley that it “has no cash” and alleges that the developer and its president and primary owner, Greg Pierce, “have provided cred-itors and investors with false financial in-formation in an attempt to raise capital.”

Pierce and his wife were hit with a de-linquent tax warrant in June and owe the state $26,364, according to court records.

A construction lien of $9,000 was placed on the arena in January by Northern Met-al & Roofing Co. Inc., based in Green Bay.

Bayland said its contract with Fox Valley called for a total payment of $21.5 million.

After Fox Valley fell behind on payments, the builder agreed to take a mortgage on the property to cover $13.2 million in debt outstanding.

Pierce, who did not respond to a request for comment, issued a personal guaranty for the money owed to Bayland, and the company says he owes $13 million.

According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, 75 investors have put money into the arena. The devel-opment company said it had raised $19.7 million in debt and equity as of May 1 and was still hoping to raise $7.4 million more.

The lawsuits are the second recent set-back to the city’s efforts to revitalize the south shore of the Fox River. On Aug. 4 the Granary restaurant on West Sixth Av-enue said it would close this month. Like the arena, the Granary was in a develop-ment district supported by tax incentives.

But city officials say that taxpayers are not at risk of losing money because of the way that the incentives are structured. The city has not provided upfront cash, and developers do not get paid until after they have settled their obligations to the city.

The arena situation is “very unfortu-nate,” said Mayor Lori Palmeri.Miles Maguire is editor of the Oshkosh Examiner news blog.

Ann Domestic Abuse Center, the moth-ers take weekly classes on financial sus-tainability, parenting, and love and logic, among others.

The Women’s Fund provides funding and resources to assist the mothers with child care, education, employment and other necessities needed to allow the women to focus on becoming self-suffi-cient.

Both families have now been in the pro-gram for over a year and have made great progress. One mother is going to school for her master’s degree and the other has secured a job as a certified nursing assis-tant and is interested in learning more about a career in phlebotomy.

The goal of RISE 2.0 is for both fami-lies to be able to get to a place of self-suf-

ficiency within three years. Through this program, the Women’s Fund is striving to gather specific data that will show how much money and resources are needed to get a family out of poverty and back on their feet.

“At the end of the RISE 2.0 three-year program, the Women’s Fund wants to have a detailed plan to provide to others who want to duplicate it,” said Karlene Grab-ner, executive director. “We understand that each person’s situation will be differ-ent but this study will give us a benchmark starting point. We are not equipped or have the staff to continue to run this pro-gram after the three years, but we know if we can provide the evidence-based re-search to show this program works, we hope others will be able to take over and expand it.”

For months, Samantha Strong has reported in these pages on the struggle faced by women living in poverty in the Oshkosh community. She spoke to the agencies there to help and the employers who wish they could do more.

In response, some readers say these women need to work harder, to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps,” to get ahead.

But what does that mean in the context of escaping the cycle of poverty? How

can putting in more hours and earning higher wages actually undermine efforts to achieve financial stability and indepen-dence? As part of the series, Samantha discussed the “benefits cliff ” and how it can work against women trying to work their way out of poverty. So what is the benefits cliff, exactly?

In public policy, the goal of many social programs is to provide financial assis-tance to people in need. The definition of “in need” varies from one program to the next, but often uses annual household income as the measurement of financial condition. As such, if household income

rises, benefits are often reduced, or cut off completely.

And that’s the idea. Benefit programs are not intended to be permanent. These cut-off points can, however, cause abrupt changes in a household budget. That puts recipients in a tough spot, having to choose between slightly higher wages or continued benefits that might be worth much more.

For example, a mother could work full time and still receive benefits. When she is eligible for a raise, she has some math to do to determine if she should accept it. You see, those higher wages would mean a higher annual household income, and that higher income might eliminate her eligibility for the benefits she relies on.

What should she do? The amount by which her wages would go up does not equal the amount of benefits she lost. That means, by accepting the raise, she would reduce her total household resources (income plus benefits). Despite working hard to earn that raise, she might turn it down in order to preserve her benefits.

While this decision might make no sense in your mind, this is a rational choice for her to make. Despite the fact that she refused a raise, accepting it would mean having even less to run her household. She may want to reduce her reliance on benefits, but she can’t afford to lose out. So what can we do to reduce this perverse incentive?

First, we can change how eligibility is calculated. Most benefit programs use household income levels to determine

eligibility. More programs could create sliding-scales, rather than hard “all or nothing” benefit cliffs, as people earn their way off the benefit.

In those cases, as your income grows your benefits decline gradually, thus reducing the cliff-effect that promotes the decision to turn down the raise. By keep-ing some benefits, though reduced, the impact on the household budget is miti-gated. Wisconsin’s Homestead Tax Credit program is an example of a program that utilizes this kind of gradual scaling-down of the benefit payment. As you grow your annual income beyond a certain level, the benefit you get starts to shrink, but it doesn’t go away entirely. It shouldn’t blow a hole in your budget.

Another alternative employed in the design of some benefit programs is to partner with employers to ensure that wage increases that can trigger benefit losses are big enough to actually leave the worker better off in the end. Wage subsi-dies paid through the employer can elim-inate the cliff effect and create incentives for working harder and earning higher wages without putting much-needed benefits at risk.

By addressing the benefits cliff prob-lem, public policymakers can improve the plight of people working to escape pover-ty. The solutions are available, and public awareness of the problem has never been higher. Let’s hope Oshkosh lawmakers will take the lead on tackling this tricky problem.Josh Dukelow holds a master’s degree in public policy from UW-Madison, and started his career working as a policy analyst in state government.

Benefits cliff needs adjustments to promote progress

Legion’s strong season ends in U.S. regional tournament By Alex WolfHerald contributor

The Oshkosh Legion baseball team’s sea-son came to an end this past weekend but on a high note after capturing a state title.

Oshkosh advanced to the American Legion Baseball Central Plains Region-al Tournament, which was held in Sioux Falls, S.D.

Oshkosh opened the tournament Aug. 7 by defeating the Renner, S.D., team 4-3. After Renner scored two in the top of the

first inning, Oshkosh responded with one in the bottom half.

Charlie Stenson picked up the win, toss-ing all seven innings – giving up three runs

on five hits while striking out four. On the following day, Oshkosh lost a

tight 9-8 game against Appleton Post 38 – the state runners-up. In that game, it was 4-4 after two innings but Appleton scored three in the fourth.

Oshkosh responded with three in the sixth to take an 8-7 lead, but Appleton scored two in the seventh to secure the win.

Oshkosh had 11 hits with Jordan Stein-beck leading the way – going 3-for-3 with

a double, triple and three RBIs. Mitch Bendickson and Ben Schneider added two hits apiece in the loss while Krumrei had two RBIs.

Oshkosh was eliminated the next day in an 11-0 loss against Fargo, N.D., who went on to win the regional tournament.

Fargo dominated the game with seven runs in the third inning as they pounded out 14 hits while Oshkosh was held to just one. Hunter Wright had the lone hit for Oshkosh.

Play concept involves being more like AntetokounmpoBy Ti WIndischHerald Contributor

New Wisconsin Herd head coach Chase Buford greeted Oshkosh with an air of ex-citement Wednesday afternoon when he met media and fans for the first time.

Herd general manager Dave Dean intro-duced Buford by noting that the Herd will continue to develop G Leaguers into better basketball players, and by saying this new regime’s goal is to bring some more wins to Menominee Nation Arena in the process.

“We went through a long, long process,

talked to probably 50-some people, and we narrowed it down, and Chase is an ab-solute slam dunk for us as a franchise and organization going forward,” Dean said.

“Everything about his background, who he is as a person, what he believes in — culture, accountability, and communication — it’s really on another level.”

Buford, who is 30 years old, brings expe-rience as an assistant with two different G

League organizations to the Herd. As importantly, he brings some experience with Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike

Budenholzer, who’s scheme he will have to mimic in Oshkosh without the benefit of having a certain MVP named Giannis Antetokounmpo on the roster.

“It’s funny because as I ask a lot of ques-tions, trying to get a better feel for exactly the way Milwaukee has done things this last year, it comes back to, ‘Well, we just get the ball to Giannis,’” Buford said, while laughing. “It’s like, okay, great. So what am I going to do?”

Buford went on to explain that the beau-ty of Budenholzer’s system lies in its sim-plicity, and the amount of spacing it pro-vides, which should help all of the Herd players thrive in the coming season.

“What it’s gonna do is it’s going to allow everyone to look more like Giannis,” Bu-ford said. “Because there’s more space to play within, more space to drive and kick. And what makes Giannis look so great? Obviously our guys won’t maybe look as good as Giannis doing it, but hopefully it will accentuate and show them off more in the same way as it did for Giannis this last year.”

Although he’s planning on taking the season day by day, and focusing on incre-mental improvements across the organiza-tion, Buford does have some lofty goals in mind for his Herd this season.

“I think that for a G League head coach, if you can lead the league in call-ups, you’re obviously doing something right,” Buford said. “And personally, I would love to see as many of our guys go on and make that next step in their career. So I guess that’s a bit of a personal goal … I want to be a great defensive team, top five in defense. That’s another statistical goal that I have. But like I said earlier, we just want to come in and get better every day and that’s going to be our biggest goal is just consistently improving.”

The son of R.C. Buford, the longtime San Antonio Spurs general manager, Chase Buford got his start in the NBA as a regional scout for the Atlanta Hawks in 2012. Budenholzer became the head coach in Atlanta a year later, and the two overlapped until Buford went to be an as-sistant with the Chicago Bulls. Buford was also an assistant with the Erie Bayhawks, Atlanta’s G League team, for a year near the end of Budenholzer’s time with the Hawks.

Buford takes over for Jordan Brady, who was relieved of his coaching duties after the end of last season. Brady went 33-67 in two years as head coach of the Herd, and his teams failed to make the playoffs in either of Wisconsin’s first two seasons.

Wisconsin Glo caps its perfect season Team tops Flint in closest contest of GWBA seasonBy Ti WindischHerald contributor

The Wisconsin Glo capped off a per-fect inaugural season with a victory in the Global Women’s Basketball Association championship game Sunday afternoon, edging the Flint Monarchs 80-78 and fin-ishing the year with a 14-0 record.

The Glo was presented with the GWBA championship trophy after the game at Menominee Nation Arena, and Jessi-ca Lindstrom was finals MVP after an 11-point, 15-rebound, 3-steal performance.

Taylor Wurtz, who led the Glo in scor-ing with 18 points Sunday, said that win-ning every game was a goal for the Glo from the beginning of the team’s existence.

“It feels great (to go undefeated),” Wurtz said. “It was our goal in the beginning of the season and to be able to be here now and have that accomplished — it’s just, it’s a really great feeling.”

Wurtz came up big in clutch time with two separate plays, including a step-back three-pointer that gave the Glo a 79-75 lead with less than a minute to play, and a block on the final Monarchs possession of the game. She attributed the made shot to duti-ful practice, and said the block came out of a determination to win the game.

“I practiced that shot a thousand times, so it was just like, I sat back, I had a look and

I knocked it down,” Wurtz said. “And then just on the other end it was like, OK, don’t lose. Whatever it takes to not lose. We were undefeated this entire season. It wasn’t go-ing to come to this last game now and we throw it away. So I just got my hand on the ball and was able to make a play.”

Glo head coach Dan Carey said one thing was going through his mind as the championship game came down to the wire: trust his players.

“I kept saying to myself down the stretch — not just the last two plays, but really the last couple of minutes — just trust the players, trust them because they’ve gotten us this far,” Carey said. “They’re an incredible group and I wanted to trust that they’re going to make the right play. And they did at the end.”

Both Wurtz and her coach credited teamwork for being crucial in staying to-gether through its toughest game of the season, and Carey said the way his team built chemistry relatively quickly has been unforgettable.

“The way this team came together in such a short amount of time is really remark-able,” he said. “It’s something I’ll never for-get. I’m really thankful and really humbled to just be a part of this. It’s been amazing.”

Wurtz gave credit to the Monarchs for making the game close, especially through their physical play throughout the game.

“They came in with that edge, and an at-titude and they played really hard,” Wurtz said. “All the credit goes to them. They knocked down big shots, they grabbed of-

fensive rebounds, and just played really ag-gressive defensively. They were a great op-ponent, a great team, it was a great game.”

Carey said the close victory was the cul-mination of an incredible first season as a franchise, and that the Glo responded to an involved fanbase in the Fox Valley.

“I’m just so proud of not only our team, but my coaching staff, our general manager,

our ownership group, and all of our arena staff,” he said. “This was a team effort, and it came together really quickly. It took a lot of time and effort and energy from a lot of different people to make this happen.

“I’m really proud of the Fox Valley com-munity too for continuing to grow our at-tendance as the season went on. There was a legit buzz in this place today.”
