Jackie Zimski, 6-12 counselor; Amanda Juneski, 6-12 math teacher; and Kim Gould, media center director; told the board that the teachers are getting to know the new information. They said assessment and grading is complicated. Not all students are test takers. And not all teachers are at the same level of comfort with the new ideas. But they said there is good dialogue among the teachers and all are working toward the goal of student learning. Part of the new approach is visible in the Learning Center, formerly the library but now a space where students can learn and create, on their own and in teams.

Deer Lake cell tower permit denied 9HUL]RQ WRZHU FRQĂ LFWV with Polk ordinance Gregg Westigard | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – The Polk County Conservation, Development, Recreation and Education Committee denied a Verizon Wireless application for a conditional use permit to build a 248-foot cell tower near the intersection of Hwys. 8 and 35 near the western edge of Deer Lake. The denial came at the conclusion of a public hearing Wednesday, July 16. The application brought up issues of how to UHVROYH FRQĂ LFWV EHWZHHQ WKH FRXQW\¡V FHOO tower ordinance and a new state statute limiting local regulation of cell towers. The committee’s vote to deny the application was split, with three members voting yes and two voting no. The denial came at the end of a second public hearing on the issue. Each hearing drew a number of Deer Lake residents speaking against construction of a cell tower, more accurately called a mobile service facility or telecommunications tower. Part of the dispute was on whether the new state regulations, included in Wisconsin Act 20, the state’s 2013 budget bill, overruled the Polk County tower ordinance passed in 2013. $OO VL[ PHPEHUV RI WKH FRQVHUYDWLRQ committee, Kim O’Connell, Jim Edgell, Dean Johansen, Warren Nelson, Craig Moriak and Dale Wood, were present for the hearing. Nelson, Moriak and O’Connell voted to deny the application. Johansen and Woods voted against denial. Edgell had left the hearing before WKH Ă€QDO YRWH 7KH FRPPLWWHH VWDWHG VHYHUDO VSHFLĂ€F reasons why the application should be denied, all relating to noncompliance with the county’s ordinance. The members decided that the application would comply with three criteria for issuing the conditional use permit and would not comply with four criteria. Those four criteria relate to the visual impact of a lattice tower, the height of the tower, and the impact of a lattice tower to birds. Verizon had proposed a lattice-design tower, one with three legs. The county RUGLQDQFH UHTXLUHV D PRUH QDUURZ PRQRpole tower design. The committee said that the lattice tower would have a greater visual impact. It also stated that the lattice design would not limit the hazard to birds. And it said that the 248’ height would have an adverse visual impact. 7KH RUGLQDQFH VWDWHV WKDW WKH PD[LPXP KHLJKW PXVW QRW H[FHHG ¡ 7KHUH ZDV D VSOLW YRWH RQ IRXU RI WKH Ă€YH PRWLRQV VWDWing reasons to deny the application. The proposed tower would be located on the edge of a woods just east of Hwy. 35 and south of Peer Avenue, a street heading east of 35 to reach homes on the western edge of Wood Lake. The clearing for the tower is visible at the northwest corner of the wood lot, separated from E\ D IDUP Ă€HOG 7KH VLWH LV RZQHG E\ Dale and Judy Wester and by Richard and Jolene Wester. Verizon and SBA Towers submitted the permit application to build the tower in April 2014.

The original hearing on the conditional use permit was held June 18. That hearing was recessed until the committee received a recommendation on the proposal IURP WKH 7RZQ RI 6W &URL[ )DOOV WKH ORFDtion of the tower. The town late approved granting the permit, saying the use was consistent with the town’s land use ordinance. It did not make any other ruling on the application.

He said the Verizon engineers stated that a 220’ tower was needed at the site to meet their needs for communications coverage. An additional 20’ was added to the application to meet the Polk County UHTXLUHPHQW WKDW HDFK WRZHU ZRXOG KDYH space for co-location by other companies, reducing the number of towers in an area. Begley said the additional eight feet was for the antennas on top of the tower. Begley said a mono-pole tower is more intrusive than lattice and harder to upgrade. He said it is hard for the public to discern the difference 20’ makes and the only reason some towers are kept under ¡ LV WR DYRLG UHTXLULQJ D OLJKW RQ WKH top.

The Polk County ordinance is not eliminated by Act 20, Gerald Carroll, an attorney who has a lake home on Deer Lake residence, told the committee. He said that Act 20 prevents local governments from adopting new ordinances that limit the height of towers, it does not invalidate limitations in place prior to the adoption of Act 20. He argued that the committee had the ability to limit the tower height and the responsibility to enforce the county’s ordinance. Deer Lake resident John Wright said the county can enforce the 200-foot limit and urged the committee to comply with the ordinance, adding that much effort ZHQW LQWR ZULWLQJ LW +H TXRWHV D OHWWHU from state Sen.

The odds for a cabinet post or Senate election for Walker are better than getting either the presidential or vice presidential nomination in 2016. Walker’s name is not as well-known as that of U.S. Rep. Paul

Ryan of Janesville, who was the GOP’s vice presidential nominee in 2012. It’s important to remember that surprises can turn politics on its head. In 1920, U.S. Sen. Irvine Lenroot, R-Wisconsin, was considered the front-runner for the GOP vice presidential nomination. But Warren Harding left the decision to the convention in Chicago, and it selected Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge, who had broken a Boston police strike. Mel Laird, a Wisconsin congressman and later the defense secretary who played a large role in winding down the Vietnam War, seemed a potentially strong candidate for a Republican presidential nomination in 1976. Then Watergate intervened. Matt Pommer writes this Wisconsin Newspaper Association weekly state government newsletter.

Past Milltown librarians honored Two women served the village for half a century Greg Marsten | Staff writer MILLTOWN – The Milltown Municipal Library is moving ahead with a new and much larger location, but local library volunteers are recognizing the efforts and many years of service that two late librarians offered to the village for so many decades of the library’s 80 years. Mary Lee Johnson served as librarian from 1974-2005, after she took over for Jane Juleen, who had served the previous 20 years, from 1954-1974. Both Juleen and Johnson passed away recently, and the Milltown Library volunteers noted their contributions recently at a special party and dedication, where WKH\ UHYHDOHG VSHFLDO SODTXHV LQ WKHLU KRQRU ´7KH\ VHUYHG D FRPELQHG \HDUV EHWZHHQ WKHP Âľ stated current Milltown Library Director Deanna :KHHOHU ´7KDW¡V SUHWW\ UHPDUNDEOH Âľ Juleen passed away in July 2013 at the age of 91, and also served the village as treasurer and village clerk after she served as librarian.
