FREDERIC - The Frederic Area Historical Society needs someone with woodworking skills to volunteer to remake the sign for the 1930s-era Frederic Library. The Frederic Library was built in the mid-1930s with donations and modest fundraising events. It eventually was abandoned when the library moved to a larger space and was moved north of Danbury to serve as a hunting shack until 2001, when it came back to Frederic and is on permanent display next to the 1901 Soo Line 'HSRW 0XVHXP VHW XS DV D RQH URRP schoolhouse. The sign, going back to the time the library was built, is in believed to have been originally designed and built by Dr. R. G. Arveson, an accomplished woodworker. When the library came back, a replica sign was built, and this is the one that is in need of rebuilding. Fourteen years out in the elements have taken its toll. The historical society will provide the materials, so the labor will be what’s needed. For more information, or to take a look at the sign, please call 715-327-4158 or 715-327-4892. - submitted

Under current law, same-sex couples/partners cannot jointly adopt a child, regardless of their domestic partnership status or if they were married in another state. That means that if an adoptive parent passed away, the domestic partner was, in effect, powerless as a guardian or parent. That is almost sure to change with the precedent.

The committee oversees county land use, including the county forests and parks. That includes several departments, land and water resources, land information, register of deeds, forestry and parks, and extension. The lime quarry is included. County buildings and property, a part of general government, are also included in the committee. The committee oversees no education activities, other than some in extension. The full committee name is long and inexact while the four letter abbreviation may mean little to the public, or looks like CORE.

Jepsen said he is very concerned about the campaign signs being placed on the roadways, saying that they create a safety hazard. He said the signs should be back off the roads on private property and asked why the candidates can’t follow the sign rules. Other committee members joined the discussion. It was noted that the highway crews can’t spend all their time picking up signs. Someone suggested that a late roadside mowing would remove the signs.

Question, Persuade, Refer gatekeeper training is designed to give members of the general public, as well as professionals, the basic skills necessary to recognize the warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide. Just like CPR, QPR is an emergency response to someone in crisis and can save

lives. The training will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 7 p.m., at the Siren School auditorium, 24022 4th Ave., in Siren. It is free to attend and will last approximately 90 minutes. Refreshments will be provided. As a QPR-trained gatekeeper, residents will learn how to recognize warning signs of suicide; how to question, persuade and refer someone who may be contemplating

suicide; and what services are available for someone in crisis. Kim Henningsgard, mental health therapist and project director of the Suicide 3UHYHQWLRQ 3URMHFW DQ HIIRUW RI WKH 0HQWDO Health Task Force of Polk County, will be the instructor.

I don’t pay much attention to this political rhetoric just before an election. I want to look at the candidate’s voting record, he or she can’t lie about that. I get their voting record from Citizens Against Government Waste. If you voted against big spending, like $120 million for wastewater improvement on the Island of Guam and also to include personal hygiene products in the supplemental-nutrition program, the politician gets a high number. If you voted for lots of spending, the politician gets a low number. In scoring for the House of Representatives, Republican congressmen scored 80. Our Congressman Duffy scored 80.

)UXVWUDWLRQ WR DFWLRQ As you can see by the countdown clock - which was captured as we went to press this week (a live version is on our website, leadernewsroom.com, along with general voter information) - there isn’t much time before voters go to the polls on Nov. 4. Not even two-thirds of eligible voters make it to the polls but it’s interesting to note the percentage of eligible voters actually voting in Wisconsin is among the highest in the country. Here in Northwest Wisconsin we share the exasperation of repetitive political ads on television DQG UDGLR DQG LQ SULQW ZLWK 0LQQHVRWDQV ZKRVH candidates we know better than our own but don’t have to take seriously because we won’t be voting for them. The exasperation is aimed at a lack of information about our own candidates as there still exists a media void when it comes to Wisconsin news about anything, never mind politics. 7KH ,QWHUQHW KDV OHYHOHG WKH SOD\LQJ Ă€HOG LQ that regard and, as a local news outlet, we’ve attempted to round up information on state and ORFDO FDQGLGDWHV RQ RXU ZHEVLWH EDVLF SURĂ€OHV DQG links to information on candidates. There are key races for local voters to consider this fall. Sheriffs will be elected to four-year terms in both Burnett and Polk counties. There will be a new state representative for the 28th and 75th districts following the Nov. 4 vote. Our 7th District Congressman is being challenged. So there’s good reason to study the candidates, even for those who think they’ve made their choice based on party loyalty or for those who simply aren’t interested in politics. The political system isn’t working well, some say. But it certainly can’t work without participation. Voter apathy isn’t new.

with a win at Cameron next Friday night. Flambeau boy makes the pros Old-timers remember a night in Frederic near the end of the 20th century when Flambeau’s Jim Leonhard scored in every way imaginable as his team drubbed the host Vikings. Leonhard, of course, went on to an All-Big-Ten career for the UW Badgers and in 2014 has entered his 10th season in the NFL. Leonhard currently plays for the Cleveland Browns. Incidentally, fans who listened to the Badgers-Northwestern football game last weekend heard Leonhard interviewed during the pregame radio show prior to the Badgers 20-14 loss to the ´0LOGFDWVÂľ L H 1RUWKZHVWHUQ 6DGO\ WKH unexpected Northwestern loss caused some local Badgers fans to teeter near the deep end of rationality.

Another Wisconsin kid in the majors That was Auburndale High School grad and former UW-Stevens Point pitcher Jordan Zimmerman who pitched the Washington Nationals to a 1-0 lead through 8-2/3 innings versus San Francisco last weekend in game two of a National League playoff series. But alas – Zimmerman was removed after walking a batter on a 3-2 pitch. The relief pitcher promptly yielded two hits and the game was sent into extra innings where the Nationals eventually lost 2-1 in 18 frames. Another semi-local player in NCAA Division 1 Somerset High School grad Gaelin Elmore is a starting defensive lineman for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers. Numerous Gophers fans from Leader Land will be attending this weekend’s game versus – you guessed it – Northwestern. Let’s hope the Gophers fare better versus the :LOGFDWV WKDQ 8: GLG ODVW 6DWXUGD\

It can take up to 3-1/2 years, from the diagnosis to the end of treatments, for doctors to consider Carter cured. Although there’s a long road ahead, Taylor explained that ALL has a higher cure rate than the many other forms of leukemia. ´7KH\¡YH GRFWRUV DOZD\V WROG XV WKDW LI \RX JHW WR pick what type of leukemia to have, this is the one you ZDQW Âľ VKH VDLG ´,W¡V RQH RI WKH W\SHV RI OHXNHPLD WKDW has a higher cure rate.

Sports activities and school are also something he’s had to take a break from for now, but a teacher is being scheduled to come to his house so he can keep up on his studies. &RPPXQLW\ VXSSRUW As in most small towns there’s often an outpouring of support and many may have noticed orange T-shirts at sporting events in support of Carter.

During the week of Frederic’s homecoming, one of their dress-up days was changed to a Wear Orange for Carter Day.

THANK YOU! No words can fully express our appreciation for the tremendous love and support shown to us at the Hans Johnson benefit on September 21. A heartfelt thank-you goes out to all the businesses, farms, families, clubs and individuals for all the generous donations and support. We are so overwhelmed by the immense outpouring of love given to us during this difficult time. Thank you to all the volunteers who were a part of the event. The day was truly amazing, and we are forever grateful for all that you have done. Additionally, thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers as Hans continues his healing journey; we are so blessed to have each and every one of you in our lives. We certainly are not alone in this fight.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Hans and Catherine Ted, Gretchen and Hannah Johnson

Son needs to be pulled away from video games Q: Our teenage son is extremely intelligent. The problem is he only wants to play video games all day and night when he’s home. It’s a struggle to get him involved in any kind of physical activity or even just to read a book.
