The Mower County Extension office will move into a new home later this year.
The county board unanimously approved a plan Tuesday for the extension office, which is most known for coordinating 4-H, to move into the vacant former environmental services building near the public works office on Eighth Avenue Northeast.
They have looked at it and theyre very enthusiastic about the possibilities, Commissioner Polly Glynn said.
Other county offices in the Mower County Government Center are in the process of being moved within the building. The coordinators office moved from the east side of the building to a spot on the south side of the building, and veteran services is set to move into the old coordinators office.
Extension had originally been set to move from the Government Center basement to the current veteran services office, which is on the far north side of the building. However, the spot doesnt have adequate space for extensions needs.
The countys building committee discussed building or remodeling office space at the Mower County Fairgrounds, since much of extensions work is done at the fairgrounds, especially during fair season. However, costs could have topped $200,000.
Instead, the board settled on the former environmental services office, which was left vacant when the department merged with public works a few years ago.
The space is currently being used for storage, and the county plans a small remodel to convert a lab into a conference room, upgrade the bathrooms, install a safety door, paint and possibly to install new carpet. Commissioners estimated the efforts could cost $30,000 to $40,000, if not less, depending on bids.
The board would like to get the office ready and moved before the fair this August, but board members didnt want to rush the move.

Clifton artist Sam Kapral has re-designed the American flag to place more emphasis on the 50 states and not just the original 13 colonies. By making the stars space larger, and decreasing the size of the stripes, he said he has accomplished one of his two goals. His second goal is to present the flag to the president.
CLIFTON Sam Kapral smoothes the prototype pages out along the dining table of his home, the Clifton home he's lived in for more than 40 years. There it is: the culmination of four long years of work, shown in pictures. His finished design still looks like the American flag, but it has been altered carefully to show a side of Old Glory that Kapral feels has long been overdue. As he adjusts the pages he beams his satisfaction at his hard work.
His neighbor of many years, Doreen Delancy-Williams, describes him as a very kind and passionate man. "The sweetest man you ever want to meet."
In his retirement he wishes to continue to share his designs with the world by helping make something new again. Although his doctor visits take up a lot of his time and energy, he has managed to see his flag design project through.
During Kapral's career, he has designed packaging for products such as fragrances, creams, and even product art for Gold Medal Biscuit Mix. Before entering retirement, he was a senior artist at Elizabeth Arden for 22 years, where he designed packaging for the company's cosmetics. In the 1950s he trained at Newark School of Fine Art, where upon graduation he was awarded the Designer's Guild award of first prize for one of his designs. In his basement studio he still keeps his portfolio of carefully preserved renderings and blueprints of his academic designs, now just over 60 years old. His designs appear ahead of their time, with clean lines and a minimalist presence of today's popular designs, with just a splash of color.
However, his experience goes far beyond technical design; from watercolors, to pencils, to sketches, to an oil painting of his late wife in her youth - his artwork tells the story of a man who has been artistic all his life. Now at 89, Kapral admits with a chuckle that he prefers to be a manager when it comes to most projects, like his home remodeling. However, the American flag holds deep sentimental value for him. When he realized it had not been updated in decades and he saw room for improvement, it felt natural to take matters into his own hands.
The modern flag design was adopted in 1960, which depicts all 50 states as stars. However, the same general design has been in use since its inception in the 1770s. When asked why he decided to redesign the flag, Kapral replies, "If there is a chance to upgrade something - well, we upgrade everything else." He goes on to mention how America upgraded from horses to cars. "When I was a boy there was only one car on my block... People used to say, 'if a car breaks, you should just get a horse.'" He draws this conclusion: if we stayed with the old ways out of fear, there would be little progress. "Now cars are everywhere."
Kapral's redesign begins with the stars. Instead of the tiny square of blue to corral the stars, it has been extended to the base of the flag. Over time, he has rearranged the stars into various configurations, until he found the staggered pattern he desired. Beside the panel of blue and white, the red and white stripes alternate uniformly as before, but now each of the stripes is equal in length.
His explanation is simple: the current American flag places too much emphasis on the original 13 colonies, represented by the 13 red and white stripes. There is not enough emphasis on the individual states as stars. "We should be proud of our states and show them all," Sam remarks. His final design shows the stars enlarged, to display more prominently against their blue backdrop.
Colfax (WQOW) - The page has been turned on plans for a new library in Colfax, and book lovers aren't the only ones who could benefit.
If the walls of the building could talk, they'd scream for more space. Lisa Ludwig, the Colfax Library director, said the use of libraries have changed over time. Libraries are changing. It's not where people just come to browse anymore. We've actually been out of space for several years, she said.
Built in the 1900's, the Colfax Public Library is ready to write a new chapter and plans for a new home could include old roommates: police officers and village administrators.
Lynn Niggemann, the administrator and village treasurer for the Village of Colfax, said the administration room needs more space for holding meetings. "Our area is really limited when it comes to election and having board meetings. We have a small meeting space and some of our storage and reception area is located in the same area, she said.
An advisory referendum will appear on April's ballot. Voters in the Village of Colfax will choose from four options to address the current space crunch at the library.
Ludwig said one option is to create a stand-alone library. Another would be to create a facility for all three departments. The third option would be to expand the library to the basement of the building. "Using the lower level is on the referendum. There will be a lot of remodeling that will need to be done. So, now we're talking an elevator and more additional restrooms, Ludwig said. "The fourth option would be just to do nothing. We would remain in this building."
Between the Colfax Police Department and village clerk, the library is finding itself in a bind with just 1,800 square feet of space.
Dale Fenske, a patron of the Colfax Public Library, said that the library has turned out to be his second home. "It'd be nice to have a nice, big table that you can sit around and talk about certain issues that are included in the library needs. And, that isn't, we don't have that here," he said.
Ludwig said more space is needed to provide more services to the community. "We would like to have more programs and more services that we could offer to our library patrons but how can you do that with only 1,800 square feet? It's really tough."
Colfax Public Library serves over 20 municipalities, including the Town of Tainter, Bloomer, Chippewa Falls and Menomonie. There is a meeting at Colfax High School on Wednesday at 7 p.m. to talk about all four options.

A 62-year-old Huntington Beach grandmother hoped to avoid even a day in prison despite using her managerial accounting job at a Long Beach trucking and warehouse company to steal nearly $3.5 million.
Inside U.S. District Court Judge Cormac J. Carney's Santa Ana courtroom today, Patricia A. Francisco appeared neatly dressed and dignified, except when she quietly wept upon learning her alleged luxury shopping addiction excuse would not rescue her from lengthy incarceration.
"Shopping addiction is real," an impassioned Diane Bass, Francisco's court-appointed defense lawyer, argued as what she labeled "significant" mitigation for punishment reduction.
But a clearly unimpressed Assistant United States Attorney Brett A. Sagel noted that the thief's 16-year scheme diverted company funds to selfishly enhance her lifestyle, including:
--buying a house less than a mile from the Pacific Ocean; --spending $50,000 on remodeling; --purchasing a Huntington Beach condo near Beach Boulevard; --buying a new, $40,000 Cadillac Escalade; --collecting more than $300,000 in jewelry; --spending $30,000 on two plastic surgeries; --buying expensive shoes, clothes and handbags; --taking trips to Hawaii, Oklahoma, and, for gambling, Las Vegas' The Mirage, Excalibur and Monte Carlo.
"This was not impulse buying," Sagel said. "This was planning and anything short of the guideline [sentencing] recommendation [of 63 months in prison] sends the wrong signal."
But Bass continued her attack on the government's stance, urging the judge to consider that Francisco grew up with an overly-demanding, fireman father and her "most striking" feature: "how cooperative she has been" with investigating FBI Special Agents Paul Bonin and Brian Reilly.
Bass suggested no prison time so that Francisco can work as a esthetician. She also said her client's life already looks dismal because she will soon surrender her $619,000 retirement account to her victims as partial reimbursement.
"She will have nothing," the defense lawyer said. "She will be living in her daughter's basement in Oakland . . . It's not an enviable position to be in."
Sagel called Bass' position "disingenuous" and re-characterized the degree of cooperation.
