&'( & POLK COUNTY - Owen Williams, a longtime prominent trial lawyer in Northwest Wisconsin, died Monday, Aug. 17, at his home in rural Amery. He was 76 years old. His body was discovered when he failed to show up for a court hearing. Authorities said he may have died from carbon monoxide poisoning after accidentally leaving his car running, something he had done frequently in recent weeks due to a substantial hearing loss. However, autopsy results are not yet known. Williams served as the St. Croix County district attorney for several years in the 1970s and spent the last 40 years in private practice. Funeral services are pending. ••• MILLTOWN – A grand opening/ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Angels Island playground next to the Milltown Community Center will be held Sat Saturday, Aug. 22, beginning at 1 p.m. Activities at the event will include a picnicstyle lunch that will be served after the program until gone, kids activities, a guessing game with a family prize, music, a bounce house and dunk tank.

A review of data from the federal Fatality Analysis Reporting System shows the rate of fatal bike collisions with cars declined 44 percent between 1975 and 2012. Jason Vargo of the University of Wisconsin’s Nelson Institute wrote about the issue in the Centers for Disease Control’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. He speculates fewer children may be dying on their bikes because they travel fewer miles. “What we think might be happening is that those are the groups that are cycling less, in the case of children.

Hit-and-run driver bound over for trial

Star Prairie woman pleads not guilty

Greg Marsten | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – The 22-year-old Star Prairie woman accused of not stopping after she allegedly struck a pedestrian with her car on Aug. 8 at highway speeds was bound over for trial by a Polk County Circuit Court judge on Thursday, Aug. 13, where she was subsequently arraigned and entered a not guilty plea. Katrina Willey, 22, had been free on a cash 0CA8=0 +8;;4H bond since shortly after she was arrested and charged with felony hit-and-run - causing injury, as well as felony reckless driving - causing great bodily harm, as well as a misdemeanor obstruction charge after she allegedly drove into and struck a man who was walking along Hwy. 35, near 55th Street, south of Osceola, at just after 10 p.m. on Saturday evening, Aug. 8, sending the man to the hospital with multiple broken bones, lacerations and apparent cervical spine injuries. Willey appeared in court Aug. 13 before Judge Jeffery Anderson for her preliminary hearing, where the state presented a portion of the evidence they had against Willey, for the judge to decide if they had enough probable cause to bind her over for trial. Polk County assistant prosecutor Stephen Dorrance and Polk County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Dale Hall outlined the incident and presented evidence that they believe proved Willey was the driver of the car that struck the man, who is still recovering from his injuries at last word. Hall noted that while two men were walking at the time, only one was struck, but that he was hit so hard he was thrown into the other man, sending them both into the ditch. It was the other man with the victim whose eyewitness testimony

Willey’s defense attorney, Bruce Anderson, did try to get Hall to clarify if the duo had been walking on the highway shoulder, in the dark. “So it’s possible that person was on the roadway?� Bruce Anderson asked. “That’s correct,� Hall stated, later clarifying that it did not seem like the driver had swerved off the road to strike the pedestrians, possibly raising questions on the reckless driving aspect of the charges. Hall also indicated that at no time during the initial Willey interviews did she admit or believe that she had swerved off the road and struck a person.

Unity to hold $17.5 million referendum vote Nov. 3 Mary Stirrat | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE — The April defeat of Unity’s referendum did not mean that space, safety and infrastructure issues disappeared, and the Unity School Board took action at a special meeting held Tuesday, Aug. 18, to again try to address the problems with a $17.495 million referendum vote in November. The April referendum sought $18.035 million and was defeated by a vote of 706 to 551. About $2 million in work was cut from the April proposal, but construc=287 ,8<=< 1*?. <..7 *7 9.;,.7= 27I*=287 increase, so the $2 million in cuts means the referendum amount has decreased by about $500,000.

closed and have voters in those municipalities cast their ballots at other polling places. This is allowable by law if the number of voters in those municipalities comprised less than 10 percent of voters in the last school board election. In April, a total of 1,257 votes were cast. Six were cast in the Town of Laketown, four in the Town of Johnstown and 104 in Eureka. Board member Jim Beistle noted that Unity residents in the Town of Eureka live on the east side of the town while the polling place is on the west side, as much as 12 miles away. Allowing those voters to cast ballots closer to home would be more convenient, according to discussion at the meeting.

The new plans were detailed by St. Croix Falls Board of Education member Dr. Steven Bont and varsity football coach Grant Belisle at the St. Croix Falls Plan Commission meeting on Monday, Aug. 17, as they asked for the city’s blessing on the project. “The land is owned by the city,� Bont said, noting how they lease the property, and how they planned to move forward with the fundraising efforts to make it happen sooner than later. “We’re not asking the city to pay, except maybe for some infrastructure, water/sewer and the like, maybe,� Bont said. “The school is on board ... but it’s up to you, it’s your land.� The plans for a new concession stand would also include a 20-by-80-foot open air portion, with a roof for inclement weather, as well as a concession stand/ kitchen and rest rooms, and at least one locker room, although through the discussions, the commission suggested they add a visitor locker room, as well. It would also include additional bleachers on the eastern “visitor side,� allowing home fans to stay on the same side, and keeping cheerleaders and fans separated. “You want to keep your opponents on =1. 8=1.; <2-. 8/ =1.

Luck receives $500,000 grant for wastewater treatment project Mary Stirrat | Staff writer LUCK — Earlier this month, the village of Luck received word that its application for a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant for wastewater treatment plant upgrades was approved. Village President Dave Rasmussen made the announcement at the Wednesday, Aug. 12, meeting of the village board, where the letter of acceptance was signed immediately. The grant means that the village can add a component to the plant that brings ammonia levels into an acceptable range, without adding to the village share of the costs or scaling down another part of the project. The total project is estimated at $4.7million, of which more than half will be covered by grants from the Clean Water Fund, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the Wisconsin Community Development Block Grant. About $2 million will be funded through a USDA loan, with another $220,000 coming directly from the village budget. Rasmussen said that the project will likely be bid out in October, which is early in the bidding season and should mean that the village will receive competitive pricing. C7 'CA44C ?A>942C Bids came in below the budgeted

amount for resurfacing 5th Street from Butternut to Foster Avenue, and from Park Avenue, north to the dead end. The 2015 budget included $34,873 for the project, and low bidder was Monarch paving at $29,262. At the recommendation of the public works staff, the board agreed to add about $2,000 to the project in order to extend the asphalt closer to the end of the street and to add some low asphalt curbs along the east side north of Park Avenue. This is necessary, said public works director Seth Petersen, to prevent water runoff /;86 I88-270 27=8 =1. 9;89.;=B *= =1*= corner. The portion of the project from Butternut to Foster Ave. has been approved for $8,600 in local road improvement project funds.

D2:H 0HB 18;;B Each year, Lucky Days brings large numbers of people into the village, and with that comes the need for porta potties and dumpsters. In the past, the village has paid 25 percent of the cost of the porta

potties, with the community club paying 75 percent. This year, however, the community club has asked the village to pay half the cost of both the dumpsters and the porta potties, which totaled $970. Trustee Sean Kinney asked whether paying half for both items would set a precedent, opening the door to similar requests for other events in the community. He noted that recently, at the request of the community club, the village board agreed to pay half the cost of new Christmas lights for Main Street. Trustee Ross Anderson pointed out that the community club and village crew both work hard to ensure the success of Lucky Days. Each town has its festival, he said, and Lucky Days is Luck’s event. Rasmussen commented that the event brings a lot of business into town and is good for the community. It particularly +.7.H=< =1. +><27.<<.< 27 =8@7 *--.- Trustee Becky Rowe, so members of the community club are actually helping themselves when they help with Lucky Days.

Again Kinney asked whether the action would set a precedent, saying, “It’s my

Wild game hunting within village approved at Luck Mary Stirrat | Staff writer LUCK — Each year, large numbers of geese in the village of Luck cause problems at the golf course and at the beach. Golfers must be on guard to avoid the droppings, and in past years bacteria from those droppings has sometimes meant the closing of the Big Butternut Lake beach. An ordinance approved by the Luck Village Board last Wednesday, Aug. 12, should alleviate the problem, since it will allow the hunting of wild game within village limits at times and places and in such manner as designated by the board. The ordinance reads, “Hunting of wild game shall be permitted when it has been determined by the village board that such hunting is necessary for proper game management or to protect persons, parks or other property and would not pose a threat to health and safety in the area where such game hunting shall take place.� Police Chief Monte Tretsven will be working on a permitting process, including the criteria for obtaining a permit. Special rules will be developed to be followed during any hunt within the village. Hunting will only be allowed with a permit issued and approved by the police chief, the ordinance states, and will be allowed on public or private land.

The ordinance was approved by the board following a public hearing that no one attended.

>;5 2>DAB4 The number of rounds played to date this year at the Luck Municipal Golf Course has already exceeded the total number of rounds for all of last year, course superintendent Kevin Clunis told the board. That number is up 60 percent to date. Financially, he said, revenue from greens fees and the driving range is up, and money spent in the clubhouse is up 50 cents per round. Clunis made a request to the board that the golf course be allowed to purchase a used rough mower that he found at a good price. New, he said, the equipment costs more than $60,000, but he found a 2014 Toro with 400 hours of use on it for $44,950. They typically run for 5,000 to 6,000 hours. The golf course received a $100,000 donation, Clunis reminded the board, half of which was designated for equipment and half for operations. The equipment half has already been spent, but the donor has no problem with using the remaining operations money for the mower. Clunis said that, with the membership drive this year being so successful, the

operations budget is looking very good without the donation money. Right now, about $37,000 remains in the donation fund. Clunis said that the country club, which usually gives the golf ,8>;<. 9.;,.7= 8/ 2=< 9;8H=< *= =1. .7- of the season, has offered to give $5,000 now toward the mower. The golf course checkbook has the last $3,000 to $4,000 needed, he said. “Our rough mower is 20 years old,� he told the board. “It’s had a useful life.� "*;=< *;. 1*;- =8 H7- 1. <*2- *7- .A9.7sive when they do become available.

Telling Clunis and the board that he was confused, Kinney asked why the donation fund wasn’t being used to address safety issues rather than buying the mower. Clunis replied that the golf course commission, particularly Chris Petersen, has been researching the costs of some of the needed repairs and upgrades. The commission is also looking at an overall plan, including funding sources and resources that could help.

The board approved the purchase of the mower for $44,950. Job descriptions for the superintendent and the clubhouse manager, a position held by Gwen Anderson, are being reviewed and updated, and during the discussion the board realized that winter duties for the superintendent are not included. The golf course commission and village board will continue to work on this. The superintendent position is full-time year-round, while the clubhouse manager is full-time seasonal. Clunis told the board that during peak season both he and the clubhouse manager work in excess of 60 hours a week, and both positions are salaried. Kinney asked whether it would be a good idea to hire more help during the busy season, to alleviate the heavy workload. Clunis again noted that both positions are salaried, so the cost is the same whether he and Anderson work 40 hours or 60. Kinney commented that new regulations governing overtime pay are coming down the pike, adding, “My preference would be to pay you and Gwen for the hours you work.�

Third International Peace Day ride for vets Sept. 19 Jean Koelz|Staff writer BURNETT COUNTY—For the third year in a row, Cmdr. Chris Sower and American Legion Post 132, along with a group of volunteers that include event founder and ATV enthusiast Richard Costerisan, are planning a special ATV ride up the Gandy Dancer Trail for disabled veterans. The event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19, to coincide with thousands of events held around the world in observance of the United Nation’s International Day of Peace on Monday, Sept. 21. The ride will begin at 7:30 a.m. in Centuria, and additional riders will join the group in Siren at approximately 9 a.m. A key difference in this year’s ride is that the opening ceremony will take place in Danbury, just prior to lunch at the St. Croix Casino. Organizers are planning to include a tribute to Larry Koch, one of the event founders, who passed away suddenly last year. Normally, motorized vehicles are not allowed on the Gandy Dancer Trail. However, the organization has worked with both Polk and Burnett county governments and the DNR to obtain special permission to host the event. Earlier this year, the DNR advised the county governments that unless they revised their master plans to include this type of use, it could no longer grant approval. Unfortunately for the veterans organization, when Burnett County attempted to revise its master plan to accommodate this spe-

The ride is open to all veterans from all branches of service, and represents an opportunity for vets to make new friends and reconnect with old ones.

Opening of new event center draws complaints

Mary Stirrat | Staff writer MILLTOWN — Saturday’s grand opening of No Genre, the new event center on Milltown’s Main Street, brought complaints, concerns and discussion to the Monday, Aug. 10, meeting of the village board. During his report to the board, police Chief Ed Collins stated that there were between 125 and 145 people in attendance at the event, which included rap performers and other musicians. Some of the attendees were bused in from the Twin Cities area, and gang colors were evident. There were many incidents of theft, open intoxicants and drug use, according =8 85527< &@8 8/H,.;< @.;. 87 ->=B 1. said, but for similar events in the future at least four should be on hand. The board agreed that No Genre’s manager, Victor Archibong, would be responsible for the costs of additional law enforcement. Village President LuAnn White was directed to talk with the village attorney to determine what enforcement options are available. Once these options are determined, a meeting will be arranged between White, Collins and Archibong. No Genre plans to have live events every other weekend, with a DJ on the weekends in between. The facility has no liquor license, and the evening event this past Saturday was for age 18 and older. According to village clerk Amy Albrecht, original discussions regarding the business indicated it would be familyfriendly.

Demolition of old Webster School will cost estimated $830,000 Sherill Summer | Staff writer WEBSTER - It seems like a great idea. Why not replace the deteriorating, vacant old school building along Hwy. 35 with a new clinic, since Ingalls Clinic on Main Street, operated by St. Croix Regional Medical Center, is short on space with no room to expand.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Because America has not built an 825 ;.H7.;B <27,. =1. 825 ,86panies are able to manipulate prices by holding back production of refined petroleum products pretty much anytime they want. Thankfully, over the last decade a glimmer of hope has developed for consumers. America’s ethanol 27-><=;B 1*< +>25= +28;.H7.;2.< since the year 2000. Together, they produce almost 15 billion gallons of

motor fuel at a price that is lower than gasoline - even in the best of times for oil prices. Ethanol is 100-percent renewable and 100-percent made in America. Ethanol also has an octane of 113, as opposed to the typical 84 octane of gasoline. With enhanced octane, engines run better, which is why 62 percent of new cars are can run on E15, not just E10. >=86*4.;< <.. =1. +.7.H=< 8/ higher octane for consumers, but oil companies refuse to allow the many “branded� stations under their control to sell E15. They also spend millions lobbying politicians for the repeal of the renewable fuel standard so they can keep their stranglehold on retail pricing. The RFS is the only policy which allows market access for our fuels to the consumer.

Today wholesale gasoline is selling for $2.71, almost exactly $1 higher than just a few days ago. Ethanol is priced at $1.43 and has not moved appreciably with the gas spike. Without ethanol in the marketplace, the price spike would have been much more severe. If we had more E15 in the marketplace, the price spike would have been noticeably less severe. Remember that the next time you hear someone repeating the petroleum industry’s line about “free markets.� For oil companies, free markets mean markets controlled by them and higher prices for you.

And they claim it is more expensive when compared with conventional gasoline due to its lower energy density, causing consumers to get 3 to 4 less miles per gallon (fueleconomy.gov), thereby causing them to purchase more gas - in essence, a hidden tax. According to an editorial published just this past week by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (“To

protect the environment, repeal biofuel mandate� by John M. DeCicco, a research professor at the University of Michigan Energy Institute), ethanol is far from being a cleanerburning alternative as promised and is “worsening greenhouse gas emissions and harming the environment in many other ways.� The author notes, in part, “To turn it into ethanol, corn must be fermented and distilled, releasing even more pollution.

It even plays in to the 2016 presidential race. Our governor, Scott Walker, has been cornered on his stance on this issue. He is against government mandates in general but has shown a bit of indecision on the ethanol mandate.

While many pay property taxes through an escrow account or monthly savings, unexpected changes in property tax bills often prove challenging for homeowners and small-business owners in these times of tight budgets. In response to the concerns I have heard from many area residents over the years, providing property tax relief continues to be one of my top priorities. Prior to the change in control of state government in 2011, the trend of property tax increases was at an unsustainable level for many Wisconsin residents as property taxes had increased by 27 percent over the prior decade. Particularly for working families, seniors and

):7;>3 3DE6AD8 8=1.;< 87 HA.- 27,86.< 9;89.;=B =*A.< were accounting for greater portions of family budgets and tax increases meant cuts and belt-tightening at home. The impact of continually rising property tax bills meant less money for groceries and clothes, reduced savings, and delayed repairs or improvements. In 2010, after several years of tax in increases, the median property tax bill in Wisconsin was $2,963. Had that trend of tax increases continued, the median property tax bill would have risen to over $3,300 in 2016. These increases were unacceptable to me, and that is why I have supported reforms that have provided tax relief to property owners.

Rural school districts talked about the issue during the last legislative session and urban districts chimed in that they, too, saw problems ahead. Colleges that train teachers said fewer undergraduates were opting for education and careers in the teaching profession. Part of the situation may be the expectations of families. It’s natural for parents and grandparents to think, like residents of the mythical Lake Woebegone, that their children and grand-

'C0C4 0?8C>; "4FB;4CC4A #3FF &A??7D children are all above average. If their better-than-average children struggle in school, many want to blame the teachers and principals.

The outcome of these reforms are that property taxes will be reduced each of the six years since 2011 due to legislation enacted by the state Legislature. As a result of our efforts to pass prop property tax relief, the median property tax bill in 2016 is projected to be $2,828. &12< H0>;. 2<

Compared to the trend line under the prior administration, property taxes will be approximately $500 less in 2016 than if the expected increases had taken effect, with the cumulative savings over the past six years estimated to be over $1,700. Using another measure, a recent analysis by the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance found that property taxes as a share of personal income has now dropped to 3.6 percent, the lowest level seen since 1946.

While our work to control spending has been successful in holding down property tax increases, it is important that we continue to promote growth and economic development as a means to broaden the property tax base. Increasing the value of property through a growth and prosperity agenda will not only help increase job opportunities, but will also help in distributing the property tax burden and holding down property taxes.

The tourism industry didn’t want to shave off a week of family vacations. Taxpayer watchdog groups reminded him that it would drive up costs. Pay for hourly workers – cooks, maintenance workers, janitorial staff and bus drivers – would need to be considered. Wisconsin law establishes that public schools, including higher education, start after Sept. 1.

Western Wisconsin city agrees to let farmers shoot pigeons

Mondovi officials say birds have been causing a mess in the community

Marijuana use by the workforce is associated with more absences, tardiness, workers’ comp claims and turnover. The federal government, including Wisconsin, continues to categorize marijuana as a Schedule I Controlled Substance, meaning it has no accepted medical use and has high abuse potential. In Wisconsin, one of the largest productivity losses due to alcohol was in the workforce, which is an estimated $1.3 billion loss. One can only imagine what adding marijuana will contribute to that amount of lost productivity.

Wisconsin property values resume growth

qualized property values in Wisconsin rose 2.4 percent in 2015, following a 2.5-percent increase in 2014. Equalized values are estimated fair market values of all taxable property in the <=*=. &1. =@8 B.*; 27,;.*<. /8558@.- H?. ,87<.,>tive years of decline. At $490.7 billion in 2015, total equalized property values are almost $25 billion off the 2008 peak of $514.4 billion. Property value growth throughout the state was inconsistent. Counties in the west and northwest generally outperformed the state, with the Twin Cities’ bedroom counties of Pierce, 6.7 percent, and St. Croix, 6.2 percent, leading the way. Property values in Eau Claire, Chippewa and Dunn counties all increased more than 4 percent. Kenosha, 4.8 percent, was strong, as was the Madison area, i.e., Dane County, 4.2 percent. Subpar appreciation occurred in the north, e.g., Douglas, 0.0 percent, Oconto, 1.7 percent, and Oneida, 0.5 percent, and also in parts of the east/ southeast. Property value growth in Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Sheboygan and Walworth all grew less than 1 percent.

Bicycling bliss

B

*,4 27 =1. <>66.; 8/ H?. of my buddies and I took a trip to the Porcupine Mountains of the U.P. from the Twin Cities area. We were 14 and 15 years old, and we traveled by bicycle. We rode three-speeds and one-speeds with large, overloaded back racks. We were on the road for 10 days and pedaled just over 500 miles. One of us would call home collect from a pay phone each night, and the parent who took the call would let the other parents know we’d survived another day. It remains one of the greatest adventures of my life. We set out that summer from the northern suburbs, somewhere around Scandia. Once we crossed the river into Wisconsin at Taylors Falls, we made our way east to Centuria following town roads. From there, I don’t remember our exact route, but by the second night of the trip, we were in Webb Lake. We were awestruck by the relatively untraveled system of county and town roads through rolling, idyllic farmland and forests that came right up to the roadside across Polk and Burnett counties. During my college years, the bicycle remained my primary mode of trans transportation. When we needed to go far, we stuck out our thumbs or hopped an occasional freight train, once going all the way from San Diego, Calif., to St. Paul, Minn. But the bicycle was my day-to-day way of getting around town. /=.; ,855.0. +8>01= 6B H;<= ,*; +>= still used the bike for short trips and as my favorite form of recreation. In my mid-20s, I began looking for land in earnest, dreaming of a rural life. After 26 years of suburban and city living, my future wife and I made our break and landed on 40 acres just north of Danbury, a direct result of what I saw bicycling through the county more than 10 years earlier. I had found my right place - clean air, a billion stars in the sky at night, peace and quiet, and endless miles of paved secondary roads for bicy bicycling. I declared to anyone who would listen, tongue only slightly in cheek, that I’d landed in bicycle paradise. It was and still is just that. In my township alone, there are over 50 miles of paved town roads, most with very lit lit=5. =;*/H, (1.7 6B +24270 +>--B 87 and I go out for a 20-mile ride, we rarely see more than a handful of cars and trucks.

I’ve been many places across this country of ours, and I’ve never seen the equal of the combination of paved secondary roads and natural beauty that Polk and Burnett counties offer. And we have a crushed limestone trail for bikes that runs the length of the two counties. G?. *5@*B< +..7 * 52==5. 6B<=2H.- =1*= we don’t see more bicyclists out there. And I’ve often wondered why there isn’t more vigorous promotion of our counties’ great bicycling attributes. That is, until a recent ride down Webster’s Main Street, all the way to the west end, dispelled some of that. There it was, right down at the end of the street on the north side, just a stone’s throw from the Gandy Dancer Trail: Webster Cog and Sprocket, a shiny new bike shop, and as far as I know, the only one of its kind in the county. You can see what I saw at facebook.com/WebsterCogandSprocket. Seems that somehow this new business, which has been up and running since July 1, had escaped my notice. I

got the lowdown from co-owner Sher Sherrill Summer at the front counter. She and her husband, Bill, a self-described “Webster boy,� made the big move after tiring of having “eight or 10 bikes in our living room at one time.� It seems Bill has been doing bicycle repair out of their home for several years, and the time seemed right to take it retail. And what a nice-looking shop it is, along with the kind of friendly service you’d expect in Webster. They have a variety of new and used bikes and an expanding inventory of parts and accessories. And judging from the large number of bikes in the shop area of the store, word is out that Bill knows bike maintenance and repair. But that’s not all, and here’s where I got particularly excited. Sherrill and Bill are doing more than just selling bikes they’re promoting the sport of bicycling through a club they call Lake Country Pedalers. The club organized 12 Rides of Summer that take you through some of those beautiful parts of our two counties mentioned earlier. And more often than not, they start at a local business, allow allowing for a before-ride cup of coffee with breakfast or some after-ride food and libation. You can check out the full listing of rides at facebook.com/lakecountrypedalers. And when you do, you’ll see that you’ve got two more chances to get out with the group.

Enjoying ice cream at Emma’s House Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer GRANTSBURG –Visitors to Emma’s House had a hard time deciding which plate of delicious-looking cake they should take. The Grantsburg Historical Society’s annual icecream social held at the turn-of-the-century home located on the museum’s grounds, held Saturday Aug. 15, offered guests not only great goodies but a look back in time.

In honor of Grantsburg’s 150th birthday bash, which will be held in conjunction with the Grantoberfest fall festival, historical society members have set up an exhibit at the museum of memorabilia and photos from the town’s 1965 centennial celebration. Guests were entertained throughout the evening by local vocalist and guitarist Aaron Crandle.

Scholars indicate that odds of an amateur golfer sinking a hole-in-one are at 12,500 to 1. A pro golfer’s odds are 2,500 to 1. But it was the late North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Il 1941—2011 who set the

standard for golf immortality, reportedly once making 11 holes-in-one in a single 18hole round of golf back in 1991 or 1994. Electronic deer harvest registration At long last, tired, dirty or fuel-conscious deer hunters will no longer be required to drop everything, load their deer into a truck or trailer and drive in to a registration station. Yes, successful Wisconsin hunters still must register each and every harvested deer as they have for decades, but beginning in 2015 all registrations will occur via electronic means, either by phone or the Internet. (See the 2015 Wisconsin deer hunting regulations for more information.) But there’s good news for those hunters who wish to maintain the old ritual of inperson registration at a designated station. According to the DNR website, there will be three Burnett County registration stations which will offer customers the opportunity to electronically register their quarry. They

are: The Country Store and Crex Meadows DNR station in and near Grantsburg, and the Trade Lake Store in suburban Trade Lake. In Polk County the Wolf Creek Bar is at this time the lone designated station. Thank you, Wisconsin DNR deermanagement team, for bringing deer registration into the 21st century.

Of course, it’s an unanswerable question but it’s one !"#$%&'() frequently posed by those who have passed the 50-year milestone. Meanwhile, for youth who crave the fun and excitement of the school year, summer probably lasted too long.

On this particular outdoor excursion I unsuccessfully tried to sneak quietly and quickly into an area I’m intent on hunting during the archery opener. With long sleeves and no bug spray, I treated it like an actual hunt. I paid attention to scent control and tried not to trim too many branches in the process, knowing that any larger, mature buck or even an old doe would sense the intrusion and head for safer ground, which isn’t far away from the small parcel of land I’ve hunted for several years now. Rain was in the forecast for the late afternoon, and my hope was that any scent I did leave behind would be minimized or washed away completely. That actu actually did happen, but the midday sun was beating down hard, and my legs, back and brow were soaked with sweat as gnats and mosquitoes circled my head. It was miserable, but I couldn’t help but to think how amazing it would be to put a tag on a big buck’s antlers in the early season and hang him on the wall, while adding some venison to the freezer. Currently, only one package of venison stands in the way of our freezer being void any wild game.

Public wolf howl program GRANTSBURG – Have you ever heard a timber wolf howl in the wild? Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area offers you the opportunity to hear the harmonious howls of the “Crex Pack� while learning how to howl like one of them. Conduct a wolf howling survey with the conservation educators Friday, Aug. 28. Begin at Crex Meadows Visitor Cen Center with a brief slideshow overview of wolf ecology and changing perceptions of this elusive animal. Then the group will carpool to one or more special loca-

tions on the property where wild wolves may answer the imitations given by staff. There, they will attempt to get the wolves to howl. Wolves usually answer, but like all wild animals, they are unpredictable and may not respond. This popular evening program is a fun and educational opportunity to listen to the unique calls of the wolf. The program starts at 7:30 p.m. and lasts about two hours. The program is not recommend for children younger than 5. Bring insect repellent and dress for the

“I wouldn’t say there were any threats ... It’s more of a language issue.� – Chief Erin Murphy

The police investigation into the alleged harassment included tying the anonymous messages to the Internet Service Protocol addresses to a computer used by Foss, who had correspondence with one of the owners for different reasons. The investigation also included a look into allegations that Foss may have also made potentially harassing calls to one of the owners places of business, St. Croix Regional Medical Center. He has denied that to police but did say he had sent a signed complaint about that co-owner to the hospital. Murphy said the medical center had not sought charges in the matter, either. The evidence was detailed in a report released to the Leader, although city leaders refused to comment on the matter, calling it a “civil issue,� city Administrator Joel Peck said.

McKinley 4-H holds corn feed

MCKINLEY – A successful corn feed was held at the McKinley Town Hall Saturday afternoon, Aug. 15, to start a scholarship fund for the McKinley Viking 4-H Club. Mark Renstrom donated sweet corn, and A1 Septic, Burnett Dairy, Nilssen’s Foods, Sterling Bank, AgStar and many members of the 4-H and community donated needed items to make the day a success. The corn was freshly picked and shucked by the 4-H club families early Saturday and boiled throughout the day by Todd Zager in his homemade cooker. Antique cars and tractors were on display. There were games for the children. The sheep, calves, chicken and dog at the petting zoo entertained everyone. Ken Peterson of Luck approached the club a year ago about holding the corn feed as a way to give something to 4-H and to get the community together. McKinley 4-H leaders Ed and Pam Dittbrenner were very pleased with the community assistance and attendance. They plan to make this an annual event.

Shelter takes vigorous approach to homelessness

Users of shelters doubled in past year Mark Peacock | Special to the Leader POLK COUNTY - Northwoods Homeless Shelters, based in Amery, deals with its percentage of Polk County’s homeless in a positive and rigorous way. Rather than simply housing homeless families and individuals, Northwoods uses houses and a customized program

for each situation to try to prevent people from becoming homeless again. How big an impact that makes is anyone’s guess because no one knows exactly how many homeless people there are in the county. Rural homelessness is a hidden problem. “It’s not the guy with a bottle sitting in a doorway,� said Virginia Ormsby, Northwoods Homeless Shelters sole employee. “We have no soup kitchens. Anyone can become homeless.� Polk County’s homeless shelters always are full. The Salvation Army runs two

If someone needs a job, the plan calls for * <9.,2H.- 7>6+.; 8/ 38+ 27=.;?2.@< .*,1 week. When people become homeless, important documents often get lost in the process, so Northwoods helps people replace IDs and driver’s licenses. “We’ll pay for work clothes, medical and dental bills and non-narcotic prescriptions,� said Ormsby. “In short, our mutual objective is to get people on their feet.� The topper is when someone gets a job, after the bills are paid, Northwoods saves 75 percent of the remaining pay,1.,4 /8; H;<= *7- 5*<= 687=1G< ;.7= *7- the security deposit that makes it pos*8A68=80 #A<B1H 8B C74 B>;4 4<?;>H44 >5 sible to move on to permanent housing.
