Earlier this year, an article in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel compared the legal evolution of the tribe’s ability to grow and sell marijuana to the same process by which tribes developed gambling establishments on tribal reservations.

Tribal leaders were encouraged after a Department of Justice memo was released late last year instructing federal prosecutors not to prevent tribes from growing or selling pot on their reservations, even in states like Wisconsin where it is illegal.

However, the St. Croix Chippewa was one of at least four tribes that attended a conference held in Washington state in February that provided some guidance on how to enter the marijuana business,

Even though there is, as Taylor said, much work to be done, developments are likely to happen quickly. On Friday, Aug. 21, the Menominee Tribe approved a referendum to grow marijuana for medical and/or recreational use in a nonbinding vote. The next step would be to change the tribe’s controlled substance ordinance to pave the way toward establishing a marijuana production and distribution business on that tribe’s reservation. As of now, state and local prosecutors are not bound by the Department of Justice’s federal enforcement policy, so it is unclear whether local law enforcement will be so permissive.

Safety, energy-saving projects eyed at Luck

Project tax levy to be determined in mid-September

0DU\ 6WLUUDW _ Staff writer LUCK — Thanks to an anticipated reduction in the 2015-16 school tax levy at Luck, the school board and district administration have begun planning for some needed projects. The projects under consideration, said district Administrator Chris Schultz, will improve the safety and learning environment at the school while creating a savings in energy costs that will help fund the projects. Working with Schneider Electric, the board at its Monday, Aug. 24, meeting considered about $2 million in projects, which would have something like $700,000 in potential energy savings. And with the lower tax levy that is being projected, the $2 million could be included in the budget while keeping the taxing mill rate below last year’s level (see separate story). Some of the items, termed “low-hanging fruit� by Schultz, come at a relatively low cost with a high re-

New facility use policy approved at Luck

Policy makes access to school building consistent and provides accountability 0DU\ 6WLUUDW _ Staff writer LUCK — Luck’s school building has always been a center for community as well as school activities, and pays host to a wide variety of groups and events. On and off through the years the school board has discussed the fact that, while community access to the school is of paramount importance, there has been no centralized way to keep track of who all is coming in and out of the building. There has also been no formal policy that outlines which groups or uses have priority, or who hold keys to the facility. With a new policy approved by the school board at its Monday, Aug. 24, meeting, these issues should start to be addressed. Regular users of the building will be informed of the changes being made and how to comply. District Administrator Chris Schultz and school board members commented that a large majority of people who use the building do so in a respectful way that does not cause any problem. However, said Schultz, it is necessary to be proactive and to keep things consistent. Approved was a Community Use of Facilities or Equipment Policy, with requires that any use of equipment or facilities, other than that related to a district activity, requires prior approval. The policy requires individuals and

organizations wishing to use the facility or equipment to provide the activities director with a request form and proper documentation, such as proof of financial responsibility, a certificate of insurance, or /XFN 6FKRRO 'LVWULFW $G proof of 501(c)3 PLQLVWUDWRU &KULV 6FKXOW] status, at least DW WKH 0RQGD\ $XJ two weeks prior PHHWLQJ RI WKH VFKRRO to the activity.

Luck school taxes could go down

0DU\ 6WLUUDW _ Staff writer LUCK — If preliminary numbers hold close to true, school taxes for property owners in the Luck School District will be slightly lower this year compared to last. Monday evening, Aug. 24, District Administrator Chris Schultz and the school board reviewed projections as they now stand, with Schultz emphasizing that these numbers will most likely change at least a little. Thanks to an increase in state aid, the total tax levy with no added projects would be about $400,000 less than last year. This would translate into a mill rate of $9.70 per $1,000 in property value, a reduction from last year of $1.35 per $1,000. In recent months, however, the school board has been looking into projects that would address accessibility and safety concerns at the school while at the same time lowering energy costs (see separate story). Even if the board votes to pursue energy-saving projects amounting to $2 million, said Schultz, as well as increase the community services levy by $30,000, the mill rate will still be about 75 cents less than last year per $1,000 in property YDOXH 7KLV ÀJXUH ZDV EDVHG RQ D \HDU loan on the building projects, with annual payments of $145,000.

The governor’s plan would base the tax credits on the age of people, UDWKHU WKDQ WKHLU Ă€QDQFLDO VLWXDWLRQ Eliminating the so-called “meanstestingâ€? approach of Obamacare would be a major shift in government policy. Experts explain that move would pinch the working poor, probably encouraging them to get less-comprehensive health insurance. Walker repeatedly has said he favors programs under which the poor have a “little skin in the game,â€? arguing that reduces overall spending. Walker would provide a tax break to middle- and upper-income people who don’t get health insurance through their employers. Perhaps more important, at least politically, would be ending the additional personal income-tax bracket in which the wealthiest 1 percent pay to help

That might solve any federal EXGJHW SUREOHPV E\ NLFNLQJ WKH Ă€nancial can down the road to the 50 Legislatures. It could be a challenge for states like Wisconsin, which have older-than-average populations. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, also a GOP presidential candidate, criticized Walker’s plan as a “new entitlementâ€? plan. Walker declined Jindal’s request for a debate. Walker also declined to answer reporters questions for plan details. The devil is always in the details in new government programs. But Walker will need to provide those details and the problems a new program might create. He’ll be successful if the media starts calling it “Walkercare.â€?

The shift away from meanstesting programs also has occurred under Walker’s approach to privately run voucher schools. Initially, the voucher program was aimed at helping poor families in Wisconsin and was limited to Milwaukee. Walker has pushed for removal of income limits to get the voucher grants advanced into a statewide program. Walker touted his approach to voucher schools during a campaign stop in New Hampshire. He said that his secretary of education in a Walker presidency would be someone like former Milwaukee school Superintendent Howard Fuller. Fuller also has served in state cabinet positions under Democratic Gov. Tony Earl and Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson. But Fuller would have none of the idea of serving in a Walker cabinet in Washington. Fuller said he and Walker have fought for parental choice for poor families, but he opposed Walker’s expansion to a universal program. Fuller also said he opposed Walker’s program of requiring photo IDs to vote and drug testing for poor people. Fuller said he supported Obamacare, Common Core testing of students and increasing the minimum wage. Walker is opposed to all three programs.

County Board hears Enbridge presentation 'DQLHOOH 'DQIRUG _ Staff writer SHELL LAKE — “For the Midwest region, probably about three-quarters of the gasoline in your car right now originated as crude oil on an Enbridge pipeline system, “ said Becky Haase, Enbridge community relations adviser. Haase presented information about Enbridge’s operations in Canada and the United States to the Washburn County Board at their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 18. “We have pipelines all the way from the Arctic Circle to the Gulf Coast,â€? said Haase.

Enbridge transports more than 15 different types of petroleum products that vary from light crude oil from North Dakota to the heavier crude oil from Canada. Different types of crude oil are used as a base for many types of products we use, from fuels to plastics. “As supplies have shifted from the oil sands region of Canada and North Dakota, those are in the center of the country, and so we need to make sure the VXSSO\ LV PRYLQJ XS WR WKH UHĂ€QHULHV Âľ Haase said, explaining why the company recently expanded their pipeline 61, which runs from Superior through a northeast part of Washburn County and RQ WR UHĂ€QHULHV 6KH VDLG WKDW ZKHQ /LQH

The project to increase Line 61 triples the amount of crude oil through the pipeline from 400,000 bpd to 1.2 million bpd. The expansion project was limited to pump stations on Line 61.

Haase explained that this not only employs local residents but also acts as a safety measure. “I can’t talk about Enbridge without

talking about safety, it’s our No. 1 priority and it’s in everything that we do,� she said. By keeping their stations employed by people living in that geographic area the response time to the station is short, an important factor in the event of an emergency. “We monitor our pipelines 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with immediate control from our control center,� she said. The control center is located in Edmonton, Canada, where pressure changes in the pipeline can be detected and would start an emergency response protocol, resulting in that area of pipeline being remotely isolated within 10 minutes. They would then send out local crews to investigate the alarm. The company also conducts regular internal inspections, does outreach and offers free training in pipeline emergencies to local emergency response teams.

You know, that’s a dream of theirs, to go into Italy.’ “ Then, as if to outdo himself, the Republican front-runner told Fox News that he would “bomb the h***â€? out of the Islamic State (ISIS) if he was elected to the White House, following that with, “I say that you can defeat ISIS by taking their wealth. Once you go over and take back that oil, they have nothing. You bomb the h*** out of them, and then you encircle it, and then you go in. And you let Mobil go in, and you let our great oil companies go in. Once you take that oil, they have nothing left.â€? Presumably, the oil company execs would somehow be embedded with U.S. troops as they prepared to drain Iraq’s oil reserves.

Angels Island Playground dedicated MILLTOWN — The grand-opening ceremony for Angels Island Playground in Milltown Saturday, Aug. 23, was an emotional day for many people, with tears of pain, gratitude and release all evident. The playground, built over the last year and a half next to the community center, honors the memory of three cousins killed in a car accident in December 2013. The community, along with organizations, businesses and individuals from around the region, raised funds and donated time and materials to honor Lydia Milberg, 11, and Laynie Amos and Clara Pavek, both 5. Organizers of the grand-opening event said they wished that there were no reason to build the park because of the pain the family has been through. However, they said, the park gave family members something to focus on and look forward to while drawing the community closer together. “It is a park built by the community,â€? they said. “A part of us wishes we never had to build it,â€? said Sarah Brenizer of the park planning committee. “But we can’t change what happened in December of 2013. The other part of us is honored to be even considered a part of this project.â€? The project started with one Facebook post, she said. The graduating classes of the three sisters who each lost a daughter, along with funding from W.I.N.G.S., made the gazebo possible. Flowers, shrubs and trees were planted and hung by volunteers. Play equipment came from Iowa and Minnesota, and a Tennessee man Ă HZ LQ WR EXLOG WKH SLUDWH VKLS “Every space at Angels Island is different, built by a community who knows what to love and honor is all about,â€? said Jenny Martin of the planning committee. “Today we are here to love and honor Lydia, Laynie and Clara, who will forever lie in our hearts, and who will never, ever be forgotten as they hover over this playground reminding us we will never be apart.â€? Speaking on behalf of the family was Clara’s mother, Kati Milberg Pavek. She said that the family has always known they come from a special community that is different from others, but the creation of Angels Island makes that even more apparent. “This park is to honor our angels,â€? she said, “and bring a happy place to the community, where others can come and share memories of their lost ones. Families can gather and create memories, and new friendships will build, and old friendships will strengthen.â€? She said she knew the three Angels were playing right alongside the other children that day, saying “thank youâ€? for what was done in their honor. “We are so humbled and honored and beyond grateful for what everyone has done,â€? said Pavek. “This park has brought life and meaning back into our lives.

The department will also offer the second year of the three-year experimental early teal-only duck hunting season from Tuesday-Monday, Sept. 1-7, with a daily bag limit of six teal. Opening-day shooting hours for the teal season will be 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and sunrise to 7 p.m. for the remainder of the season. Hunters will not be required to purchase any additional licenses or permits, other than those required for hunting ducks in the regular waterfowl season. While the early teal season is offered statewide, there are some state-owned properties with special waterfowl hunting limitations. For example, Mead Wildlife Area does not allow waterfowl hunting prior to the regular duck season, and Lake Mills Wildlife Area (Zeloski Marsh) has unique shooting hour restrictions. Please check to see if the areas you hunt have any additional requirements or limitations.

CWD sampling plan in place for 2015-16 deer-hunting season SPOONER – In cooperation with local businesses, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will collect deer heads for chronic wasting disease surveillance testing during the 2015 archery and gun hunting seasons. If you harvest an adult deer within a 10-mile radius of Shell Lake, please consider submitting a sample from any harvested deer for CWD testing. The department will also offer landowners within the Shell Lake 2-mile raGLXV VDPSOLQJ DUHD VFLHQWLÀF FROOHFWRU permits to harvest adult deer of either sex for CWD testing. Landowner permits were recommended by the CWD Citizen Advisory Team to focus sampling efforts that may provide valuable information regarding the health of deer on private lands.

Interested landowners within the 2-mile sampling area who would like a permit or more information can visit the Spooner DNR Service Center at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 9, or Thursday, Nov. 12. Participating landowners may assign hunters to harvest the deer and submit the head, and may assign someone else to pick up permits at the Sept. 9 or Nov. 12 meetings by calling the DNR. For more information or to give permission, please call 715-635-4025. Information collected by cooperators and the department will be used to help assess the distribution of CWD within the local deer herd.

A very much belated thank-you! For all the greetings, the phone calls and cards for my birthday in June. The “yard party� by my family with many friends, family to share a cup of coffee and cake. And the Lord blessed us with a beautiful day. So again, many thanks. I am blessed for the 90 years of a “Good Life.�
