One step closer to reality Ground breaking held for new SCRMC clinic in downtown Frederic Gary King | Editor FREDERIC - The long anticipated breaking of ground for the new St. Croix Regional Medical Center clinic in downtown Frederic happened during one of the community’s busiest - and happiest - times ... Family Days. Sunday morning, June 22, dignitaries from SCRMC and the village gathered at the site on Main Street to mark the beginning of construction on a new state-of-the-art, 14,800-square-foot clinic that will continue not only SCRMC’s commitment to health care in Frederic but also a tradition of local health care that began a century ago. The new facility will be a “tremendous asset� to the community and area, said Dave Dobosenski, SCRMC CEO. “With it, we will be able to serve more patients more quickly here in the Frederic area,� he said. “We believe this is what our patients expect from us: Superb care, close to home.�

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer ST. CROIX FALLS – A proposed new telecommunications tower near Deer Lake has drawn opposition from some neighbors. But the issues involved go beyond just this tower. A Polk County committee postponed action on the Verizon Wireless application Wednesday, June 18, stating that it wanted to receive a recommendation from the town. That evening, the St. Croix Falls Town Board met and made no recommendation on the application, stating that it did not have authority to act on the application.

The memo goes on to state that a political subdivision may not prohibit the placement of cell towers in particular locations. Jeff Fuge, Polk County corporation council, told the conservation committee at its meeting Wednesday that this means the committee cannot deny the tower application based on the site but can look at how the application meets three criteria in the Polk County telecommunications tower ordinance. Those criteria, sections A, C and E in Article I of the ordinance, mention in part accommodating the public health and welfare and avoiding potential damage to adjacent properties.

Governor approves disaster aid related to 2011 timber blowdown

MADISON – This week Gov. Scott Walker gave approval to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to provide disaster damage aids to help pay for repairs to local and county roads that were damaged after major storms that occurred in the summer of 2011.   This will ease the financial burden placed on the counties of Burnett, Douglas and Washburn following the severe weather in July and August in which winds exceeded 100 miles per hour, resulting in large piles of timber blocking

more than 400 miles of road in Northwest Wisconsin. The removal of the timber caused damage to local and county roads due to the heavy trucks and equipment used to haul the timber. “I surveyed the damage resulting from the succession of storms in the summer of 2011 and saw the immense cleanup work OHIW IRU ORFDO HOHFWHG RIĂ€FLDOV VWDWH HPSOR\ees, the Wisconsin National Guard, state legislators and volunteers from the area,â€?

According to the report, seven out of 10 workers are not engaged which means that the majority of America’s workforce is not interested in doing a good job. In fact, at least 20 percent of all employees are actively working against their employers to sabotage organizational efforts.

Since his arrival last fall, Ehalt has been researching county policies, both written and unwritten, in an attempt to streamline them. “I don’t believe in ‘buy-in,’â€? Ehalt told supervisors. “I believe in ‘be-in.’ I want the employees to be part of this process.â€? To that end, Ehalt regularly meets with all department heads and meets with a designated group of employees on a quarterly basis to draw feedback and input. Pointing to a stack of research in front of

him, Ehalt also tried to summarize practical reasons for revamping the county’s compensation structure. Paid time off, for example, currently includes a combination of earned vacation time, sick days and holiday pay. This traditional model is familiar and comfortable, and is also perceived as fair because of its uniformity. However, it requires a lot of administrative time to track and document, especially given the tendency for employees to “bank� some or all of their time in order to take longer vacations, cover a potential period of illness or cash in at retirement. A side effect of this model is that it breeds a sense of entitlement that sometimes results in abuse of the system.

have led to abuse in some organizations because employees come to regard all time off as vacation time, and they end up coming to work when sick because they don’t want a sick day to cut into their vacation. Management organizations strongly encourage very clear guidelines regarding the use of paid time off in order to avoid such pitfalls.

Siren adds community service graduation requirement

Jean Koelz|Staff writer SIREN - At the regular monthly meetLQJ RQ 0RQGD\ -XQH WKH 6LUHQ 6FKRRO Board voted to add community service as a graduation requirement. Members of the Class of 2015 will be required to complete a minimum of 10 hours of community service in order to graduate. Going forward, each high school student will be expected to do 10 hours of community service per year. “This is a program that will grow,â€? said board member Dave McGrane. “By the time the Class of 2018 graduates, a total of 40 hours will be required.â€?

ment would have to be preapproved and monitored by the program administrator, Jason Hinze. Many local school districts already have a similar policy in place. Frederic, Grantsburg, Luck and Unity all require 10 hours per year, although each program is unique in terms of how it’s administered. Webster High School does not require community service, although it is a big part of many school organizations, such as student council, National Honor Society, AODA and some of the athletic programs. Another change for the coming school year is that the sixth grade will now be part of the middle school. “It will change the way we teach,� said grades 6-12 Principal Sarah Johnson. “The students will have longer teaching blocks, advisory

time, enrichment time and exploratory areas which will include guidance, career development, instructional media, health curriculum and consumer and tech ed.� Classrooms and locker areas are being rearranged to bring sixth-graders closer to the areas of the school that are designated for junior high and high school students. Superintendent Scott Johnson introduced the board to another new item as the school prepared for the next year of instruction. “I’ve invited a number of staff to be on a professional advisory committee,� Johnson said. “I’m pleased to tell you that there’s been a 100-percent response.� Staff members have agreed to meet over the summer to examine everything from the mission statement to district goals.

While some people may recognize the recent Cardinal grad from her humorous drama club performances in Luck school plays, Bartylla takes her fashion design very seriously, but she also had some fun with her latest designs, which are a whimsical line of female swimwear, based on cartoon characters. “I based each (swim) suit after a different Disney princess,â€?

Another round at the golf course

Village president suggests referendum to ask taxpayers to take on golf course debt

Mary Stirrat | Staff writer LUCK — The beauty and quality of the Luck Golf Course is well known and appreciated by golfers. The course celebrated its 75th anniversary last year, RSHQLQJ IRU EXVLQHVV $SULO While the 18-hole course might be considered by many to be exceptional, internal wrangling continues to plague the parties involved in its operation. It is a municipal golf course, owned by the village, with oversight by the village board as well as a golf course commission comprised of village board members and citizens from the area. A third entity is contracted to operate the country club. Members of these three entities met at WKH JROI FRXUVH 0RQGD\ HYHQLQJ -XQH and several concerns were aired in a tense atmosphere. The meeting began with a comment from Bob McCann, president of the Luck Country Club, regarding the staff at the golf course, during the public comment period of the meeting. “Kevin and Gwen are doing a great job with what they’ve got to work with,� he said, referring to golf course superintendent Kevin Clunis and clubhouse manager Gwen Anderson. Anderson has been on the job just over a year, he said, “with little or no support from the village or anyone else,� McCann continued. “I think the village, in my opinion, has to let the managers manage and leave them alone during the season.�

Rowe asked how the village board and golf course could explain the situation to village residents. Luck is not a wealthy town, she pointed out, and raising taxes even a little will hurt.

When Petersen said the golf course and village need to work together, Demydowich said that general obligation borrowing for the golf course debt, with taxpayer approval, is a way to do that. “When do we stop the bleed?â€? he asked, referring to taxpayer dollars going to the golf course. “We’ve had almost 20 years of bleed.â€? “This is so hard on morale,â€? commented Petersen.

Some may be repaid this year, some may not, but it is all money that is owed by the golf course. The consensus of the group was that a referendum vote to put the golf course debt on the tax levy would not be approved by the general public. This led Rasmussen to ask why, knowing the result, it should be put to a vote. Demydowich responded by saying, “If it’s voted down, who are we to say we’re smarter than all the people?â€? “We’re elected to make the tough decisions,â€? said Rasmussen. “That’s what we’re elected to do.â€? The village board is required to authorize a referendum vote before it can occur.

State, regional agency at odds over $2 million loan Danielle H. Moe | Staff writer SPOONER — A $2 million loan for a local business start-up has started a dispute between the Northwest Regional Planning Commission and the Wisconsin Department of Administration. “The state, without including us, went ahead and made a repayment agreement with Flambeau River Biofuels and the loan is currently being repaid to the state,â€? said Myron Schuster, executive director of the Northwest Regional Planning Commission. This is the heart of the NWRPC story, but not the whole picture, says Stephanie Marquis, spokesperson of the Department of Administration. This confusing and unique situation began in 2010 when Flambeau River Biofuels was waiting for approval of loan guarantees from the U.S. Department of Energy to construct a $250 million biofuel UHĂ€QHU\ QH[W WR WKH )ODPEHDX 5LYHU 3Dpers mill in Park Falls. At the same time the biofuels company applied for a Community Development Block Grant, a program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, from the state through Price

County, which is part of the Northwest Regional Economic Development Fund. The state then issued Price County a $2 million grant and Price County gave Flambeau River Biofuels the $2 million loan. “So when they (Price County) made the loan to Flambeau River Biofuels they then transferred the loan to us (the NWRPC) and so we hold the loan,� said Schuster. However the U.S. Department of Energy loan never came through and the biofuels plant never got started. This is where the DOA says their actions of reclaiming the loan were appropriate. “The Flambeau River Biofuels project was required to create and maintain 40 jobs to receive its federal funding, as well as provide documentation to show those jobs were indeed created. They did not create jobs as required by the federal guidelines, and now that money must be repaid to the state. The repaid funds will be added back into the pool of state grant money so that communities can help expand economic opportunities and affordable housing in Wisconsin,� explained Marquis.

According to Marquis, in September RI WKH '2$ UHTXHVWHG FRSLHV RI WKH loan reassignment documents between Price County and the NWRPC, but they never received any. The contract agreement between the Department of Commerce (now the DOA), Price County and Flambeau River Biofuels requested that NWRPC assign the loan back to the DOA so the state could collect on the loan. According to Schuster, Flambeau River Biofuels was making loan repayments to the NWRPC, until the DOA reassigned the loan. The NWRPC contends that those loan repayments should be made to them, not to the state. Schuster said they are in talks with the state Department of Administration to sort the issue out. “So we are having those ongoing discussions with the state trying to convince them that we should receive that $2 million repayment rather than the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration,� he said. At the time the $2 million loan was made the positive effects of the biofuel plant on the economy in Park Falls, a small Northern Wisconsin community,

The loss of the loan has forced the agency to write off the loan as a bad debt, in turn reducing their loan fund from $9.5 million to $7.5 million. Marquis reports that HUD agrees that the actions taken by the state DOA were consistent with federal policy for remediating failed project activities.

“The potential worst-case scenario could happen anywhere where there’s large-scale nonmetallic mining,â€? Zehms said. But Zehms said there are things counties can do to protect themselves. He said they’re looking into requiring frac sand companies to post cash deposits and change local ordinances to get around the loophole in state law. “That’s really what we’re looking at doing and then providing information and analysis to the committee on planning and development for their determination as to where they want to go with it,â€? he said. =HKPV VDLG RIĂ€FLDOV KRSH WR SUHVHQW D OLVW RI RSWLRQV WR county board supervisors in late summer.

All-­Leader Softball

FREDERIC • GRANTSBURG • LUCK • ST. CROIX FALLS • SIREN • UNITY • WEBSTER Marty Seeger | Leader staff writer LEADER LAND – Another solid run to the state tournament fell short for the Grantsburg fast-pitch softball team, yet it was another impressive performace backed by some amazing pitching from senior Macy Hanson and the stability of Wendy Roberts behind the plate.

The Pirates continue to crank out talent year after year and Leader Land readers and Pirate fans should be proud to have the Pirates representing the North Woods in Madison. The All-Leader softball team is loaded with senior talent and much of that is veteran talent. It will be intersting

to see how teams reload for next spring, and who will rise to the occasion. Take note of some of the ones who will be back again next season, as there’s little doubt they’ll be leading their respective teams to many victories, so long as we have a much better spring that we’ve had over the previous two years.

All-­Leader Baseball

FREDERIC • GRANTSBURG • LUCK • ST. CROIX FALLS • SIREN • UNITY • WEBSTER Marty Seeger|Leader staff writer LEADER LAND – With such a talented and evenly balanced crop of West Lakeland baseball teams it was surprising to see just one team aiming for the regional title, Luck/Frederic. Their regional championship game against Cumberland could have gone either way, but the game, and the season for all area baseball teams, came to an abrupt end, and far too soon. Despite no West Lake-

land team earning a regional title, it didn’t diminish what these teams were capable of doing. St. Croix Falls came out on the winning end of the West Lakeland Conference and while several of their games were close, they couldn’t have won them much of the time without pitching. All three of those pitchers helped carry the Saints this season, and they’ll be back next season to try and do it again. If the Saints can get their bats

going they’ll be another contender for the title. With the hope that next spring will allow teams to compete on a more normal schedule, there’s plenty of reason to look forward to next spring as many of this year’s talented baseball players on our All-Leader team are underclassmen. Congratulations on another good season and here’s to hoping for a great one next year.

Woman faces felony burglary charges Plumbing stolen from home Greg Marsten | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – Police were called to a rural Polk County residence after an alarm went off, and when a Polk County Sheriff’s Deputy arrived on the scene he discovered a woman walking around the back of the unoccupied house, claiming she was taking wildlife photos with permission of the owner, who could not be reached. However, a closer search of the home proved other-

Other burglary tools and items were also found on the scene, and the homeowner was eventually reached, indicating the woman did not have permission to be on the property. /DXUDOL /DXULWVHQ 7XUWOH /DNH

A bevy of meth arrests Polk County law officers continue to battle the drug on all fronts Greg Marsten | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – Methamphetamine continues to occupy local law enforcement time, as evidenced by the volume of meth-related arrests in Polk County in just a few hours last week. Milltown Police stopped a car bearing Minnesota plates on Monday, June 16, knowing that one of the passengers was wanted for a warrant in St. Croix Falls. A search of the vehicle resulted in several pieces of paraphernalia, as well as the discovery of marijuana, meth and possibly other narcotics. Several of the pieces of drug paraphernalia and drugs, including a syringe, were within reach of a 6-year-old child in the backseat. The stop resulted in the arrest of -RQDWKDQ $QGHUVRQ 0LOOWRZQ who is now facing a felony meth possession charge, as well as misdemeanor marijuana and parapher- -RQDWKDQ $QGHUVRQ

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER Monitoring Requirements Not Met for Luck Waterworks We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not your drinking water meets health standards. Between 01/01/2013 and 09/30/2013, we did not monitor for nitrate and volatile organic contaminants and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water during that time. What precautions should be taken at this time? There are no special precautions you need to take at this time. However, it is important to remember that the quality of your drinking water is not known at this time. What was the cause of the missed monitoring requirements? A mistake was made. The utility thought these samples had already been taken. What is being done to correct the problem? The samples were taken as soon as the mistake was realized. The samples were taken on 11/12/2013. When will the problem be resolved? The problem is resolved. The samples were taken on 11/12/13. The samples of drinking water did meet health standards set forth by the Wisconsin DNR. If you have questions regarding the safety of our drinking water, please contact: Seth Peterson 401 Main Street Luck, WI 54853 715-472-2038 I certify that the information and statements contained in this public notice are true and correct and have been provided to consumers in accordance with the delivery, content, format and deadline requirements in Subchapter VII of ch.

NOTICE  OF  A  FINDING  OF  NO SIGNIFICANT  IMPACT The  USDA  Rural  Development  (USDA-­RD)  has  received  an  application  for  financial  assistance  from  the  Village  of  Luck,  WI,  in  the  amount  of  $4,000,000.  The  specific  objective  of  this  appli-­ cation  is  to  receive  a  low-­interest  loan  and  possible  grant  assis-­ tance  for  upgrades  and  modifications  to  the  existing  wastewater  treatment  facility  (WWTF)  located  at  260th  Avenue,  Luck,  WI  along  with  improvements  to  the  wastewater  collection  system  at  various  locations  in  the  Village. The  existing  WWTF  serving  the  Village  of  Luck  was  placed  into  service  in  1981.  The  WWTF  consists  of  aerated  lagoons  after  which  the  treated  effluent  is  discharged  to  seepage  cells  or  to  an  adjacent  wetland.  The  facilities  planning  process  was  required  to  study  alternatives  for  meeting  ammonia  effluent  lim-­ its  and  interim  phosphorus  effluent  limits  which  were  included  in  the  treatment  facility’s  current  Wisconsin  Pollution  Discharge  Elimination  system  permit.    The  proposed  project  is  to  upgrade  the  existing  aerated  la-­ goons.  The  scope  of  work  includes  removal  of  sludge  from  the  existing  lagoon  cells,  upgrade  the  aeration  systems,  replace  three  existing  aeration  blowers,  add  floating  covers  and  baffle  curtains  to  the  lagoon  cells,  provide  chemical  feed  equipment  for  phosphorus  removal,  provide  a  new  effluent  sampler,  pro-­ vide  a  new  portable  generator,  upgrade  the  Lake  St.,  Lake  Ave.,  and  Main  St.  lift  stations,  replace  2,600  lineal  feet  of  sanitary  sewer  and  utilize  cured-­in-­place  pipe  lining  for  9,200  lineal  feet  of  sanitary  sewer.  The  moving  bed  bioreactor  will  be  added  in  the  future,  as  a  second  phase  of  the  project,  if  the  treatment  performance  of  the  upgraded  lagoons  indicate  the  necessity. As  required  by  the  National  Environmental  Policy  Act  and  agency  regulations,  the  USDA-­RD  prepared  an  Environmental  Assessment  (EA)  of  the  proposal  that  assessed  the  potential  environmental  effects  of  the  proposal  and  the  effect  that  the  pro-­ posal  may  have  on  historic  properties.  The  EA  was  published  on  May  7,  2014,  for  a  30-­day  comment  period.  The  USDA-­RD  did  not  receive  any  comments  on  the  proposed  project.  Upon  consideration  of  the  applicant’s  proposal,  federal  and  state  environmental  regulatory  and  natural  resource  agencies,  consultation  with  the  Wisconsin  State  Historic  Preservation  Officer  and  public  input,  the  USDA-­RD  agency  has  determined  that  the  proposal  will  not  have  a  significant  effect  on  the  human  environment  and  for  which  an  Environmental  Impact  Statement  will  not  be  prepared.  The  basis  of  this  determination  is  that  any  adverse  effects  from  the  project  will  be  temporary  in  nature  and  controlled  through  standard  Best  Management  Practices  (BMPs)  and  mitigation  measures.   The  Village  of  Luck  will  be  required  to  follow  all  mitigation  measures  as  a  condition  of  the  USDA-­RD  funding.  The  miti-­ gation  measures  include  obtain  all  required  permits  for  construc-­ tion  of  the  project,  utilize  Best  Management  Practices  for  ero-­ sion  and  sediment  control,  limit  work  hours  to  minimize  noise  and  traffic  impacts,  utilize  signing  to  promote  safety  during  con-­ struction  and  follow  the  recommendations  of  the  Endangered  Resources  Review  (ERR  Log  #13-­695). Comments  regarding  this  FONSI  can  be  directed  to  Brian  Deaner,  Program  Director  (USDA  Rural  Development),  at  715-­ 345-­7615  Ext.  141. 3 >5(?37

Sunny Burnett Dairy Days fun Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer ALPHA – The sun came out and so did the crowds for Burnett Dairy’s annual two-day Dairy Month celebration, June 20 and 21. Outside visitors enjoyed tasting dairy treats, listening to live music, shopping at vendors booths, visiting the petting zoo and watching kids compete in a pedal pull contest. Inside the cheese store there were more samplings to be had, Bistro sandwiches, pizza, cheese curds, wine, homemade fudge and of course, free ice-cream cones. Seeing cheese being made through the viewing room windows was a highlight for many coming to Dairy Days.
