),567 5($' MADISON – The deadline for Wisconsin consumers to receive restitution from the state’s recent consent judgment against Classmates, Inc. is quickly approaching. To be considered for eligibility, consumer complaints to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection must be postmarked or received by Oct. 8. Classmates does business as Classmates.com, a social networking website for reconnecting with high school friends. Wisconsin obtained the consent judgment at the conclusion of a multi-state investigation involving 22 states. Pursuant to the settlement, the company is required to deposit $3 million in an account to pay restitution to affected consumers in those states. Those eligible for restitution include Classmates customers who enrolled in the company’s subscription services on or after Jan. 1, 2008. The complaints must involve the conduct addressed in the consent judgment including: Classmates charging the consumer’s account without the consumer’s authorization; Classmates using automatic subscription renewals without the consumer’s knowledge; or Classmates charging the consumer’s account after the consumer cancelled the subscription services. Within 90 days of the end of the claim period, Classmates will send to each consumer who submitted an eligible complaint a refund check for the amount the consumer alleges he/she paid in unauthorized charges, minus DQ\ DPRXQW DOUHDG\ UHIXQGHG E\ WKH FRPSDQ\ ,I \RX ZLVK WR ÀOH D FRPSODLQW YLVLW WKH '$7&3 ZHEVLWH DW GDWFS ZLVFRQVLQ JRY WR ÀOH RQOLQH RU WR GRZQORDG D complaint form.

The increase in Minnesota and Wisconsin collisions with deer are due in large part to more deer on the landscape.

Kennedy’s letter states that this responsibility “squarely falls within the village clerk’s general supervisory authority.â€?

Likes and dislikes dominate our lives and can ruin reputaWLRQV 7KH YHUE WR EXOO\ LV GHĂ€QHG DV “forcing one’s way aggressively or by intimidation.â€? Letters to the editor are the brick and mortar of social media. As such, they can also be used for bullying. In the local weekly newspapers of rural America, letters are a lifeline to others in our community and can become a court of public opinion. Arnell Memorial Humane Society has certainly been the victim of repeated attacks through social media and letters to the editor, written by Ms. Tanya Borg, Centuria. They are nothing less than bullying. In a recent letter to the editor, Borg stated that Arnell Humane Society “kills half of the animals that come to our shelter.â€? The word kill is designed to illicit outrage but is profoundly inaccurate. Borg knows that Arnell does not euthanize half of the animals that come to our shelter, as she has acknowledged at meetings with CDRE Committee in Balsam Lake. And yet she penned this calculated lie to illicit a response and perhaps shock the public into believing it and withdrawing its support. In so doing, she is promoting her personal agenda as the only correct and workable agenda. Lying is lying. A misstatement on occasion is regrettable but understandable. When Borg deliberately distorts and misrepresents the facts time and again, she shows herself to be dishonest and manipulative. The message Borg is offering suggests, that by limiting the animals admitted to our shelter, by number and temperament, Arnell would be able to meet the 90 percent or higher live release rate promoted by the nokill movement. Some shelters have been bullied by such tactics, causing them to release dangerous dogs to the public in order to meet the no-kill percentage criteria, with real consequences. One of the most alarming examples comes out of New Mexico. To make the numbers, the Albuquerque Animal Welfare Department permitted more than 100 dangerous dogs to be adopted by families after they failed nationally recognized behavioral tests. The results were tragic. Dozens of these dogs killed or injured other pets, bit children, attacked their owners or displayed otherwise aggressive behavior. Arnell Humane Society offers a safe haven for all stray pets in Polk

County, regardless of temperament, age and behavior. Arnell does not limit the number of strays admitted to our shelter. It is one of the central purposes for which our humane society was established. An animal shelter must maintain an open door policy in order to be available for those animals with nowhere else to go. It is regrettable to have to euthanize any animal for any reason. At shelters across the nation and at Arnell, that decision must be made for the consideration of the public’s safety or to end an animal’s suffering. By continuing to print lies, rumors and innuendo, sending messages that link the killing of animals to our local animal shelter, Borg is trying to bully our open admission shelter through her distortions of the truth. Say it enough times and it will be perceived as the truth, but it is no less a lie. In the case of AMHS, each attempt to discuss and offer facts, have been met with further attacks. Defending ourselves only keeps the negative comments in the news and takes away from the positive message of all the good things happening at Arnell Memorial Humane Society. Other shelters we have spoken to have been reluctant to respond or come to the defense of Arnell because they are afraid they will become her next target. If this intimidation leads to silence, and in some cases tacit cooperation, and is not considered bullying, I don’t know what is. Arnell will continue to operate to the highest ethical standards. The care of animals, all animals is its mandate. Borg seems to think that by misrepresenting Arnell, she will VRPHKRZ EHQHÀW WKH VWUD\ DQG VXUrendered animals in our care. Rather than smearing the shelter and its supporters through a campaign of misrepresentation, she might consider working in a positive and constructive effort to help animals in need throughout our community.

Then together with our allies, they negotiated a deal that would prevent Iran from using its nuclear capabilities and research from developing nuclear weapons. Rep. Duffy is pipe dreaming if he thinks he could get the rest of the free world to put economic sanctions back on Iran just to please a Republican Congress that simply cannot stand to see President Obama succeed in bringing peace to the world. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said before the Iran deal was realized that Iran would have nuclear weapons within a year. But Iran has agreed to international inspections of its nuclear facilities and to suspend weapons development and research. Netanyahu should be jumping with joy - no Iranian nukes this year or into the future. I also want to comment on the Republican presidential candidates debate. All but one candidate was for increasing military spending, going to war with Iran on day one, cutting taxes on the wealthy, and like Duffy, wrapped themselves in the $PHULFDQ Ă DJ SUDLVHG YHWHUDQV DQG condemned the lack of veterans care.

73rd Assembly District • Nick Milroy Familiar faces

ox News out of Superior has a weekly feature called “Knowing your Neighbors,â€? which highlights a local business. Earlier this month they visited a restaurant in Ashland, The Platter, that occupies one of the oldest brownstones in Ashland. As I watched, I started thinking about how lucky we are to live in northern Wisconsin, to live in a community where you can walk down the street and see lots of familiar faces smiling back at you. It doesn’t happen often enough, but I am always thrilled to see familiar faces in the state Capitol. This week it happened twice.

We are so fortunate that Gradillas and his wife, Gayle, chose our beautiful area to enjoy their retirement and that he continues to enrich the lives of our young people. 7KH )ULHQGV RI (GXFDWLRQ $ZDUGV were presented as part of Evers’ State of Education Address. Unfortunately, that address was delivered under the shadow of renewed attacks on public education. Rep. Joe Sanfelippo, a voucher school supporter from southeast Wisconsin, wants to eliminate your right to elect an independent voice for public education. He and his Republican colleagues want to change the state’s constitution so education would be run by a political appointee of the governor instead. This comes as a new state budget takes effect. That budget created a new diversion of public aid

dollars directly out of public schools into politically connected voucher schools. This diversion erases the meager increase in state aid over three budgets. Aid for our children continues to shrink as Republicans send our tax dollars to unaccountable voucher schools, which have seen their aid skyrocket by 89.3 percent. Despite three consecutive budgets that have left our public schools with less support than six years earlier, our teachers continue to focus on success in our communities and our children’s classrooms. As he has traveled the nation, the governor has been using Wisconsin schools as a campaign prop. Our public educators are the ones who deserve the credit for leading classrooms that are second in the nation in graduation rates and second nationally in ACT scores. Evers, who was in Cameron earlier this month to help celebrate the opening of their new school, appreciates the sigQLÀFDQW DFFRPSOLVKPHQWV RI RXU SXEOLF educators. In his address he highlighted decreased truancy and expulsion rates, increased attendance and more students receiving college credit for coursework they do in high school. Despite their success, public school teachers have seen their average compensation fall. Unfortunately, the governor, who is paid nearly $150,000 by Wisconsin taxpayers during his travels,

seems determined to reduce everyone’s wages. The governor’s policies are going to negatively affect all worker salaries, not just public employees like teachers. It’s no surprise that potential young educators are choosing different careers, or different states. Schools in northern Wisconsin have been losing experienced teachers at an alarming rate and are having trouble recruiting new teachers. We have 2,000 fewer students signing on to earn teaching degrees than we had in 2011, and 12 percent fewer new teachers were licensed in the last two years in Wisconsin. We are fortunate to have the continued service of many educators who are committed to our state and our children. Students from Mercer to Cameron, from Superior to Ashland, all points LQEHWZHHQ DQG DFURVV :LVFRQVLQ EHQHÀW from the great work of public school teachers. Instead of undermining rural schools at every turn, the governor should aspire to emulate the achievements of these public servants who demonstrate their commitment to our communities and our state every day. With new quarterly job numbers showing Wisconsin has fallen from 11th nationally to 30th, the governor might consider spending a little more time here at home among familiar faces.

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. The ride began in Centuria at 8 a.m. and continued along the Gandy Dancer Trail to the St. Croix Casino in Danbury for a special ceremony and lunch. Several stops were made along the way.

This set was highlighted by a few close line calls and several ball-handling calls. *UDQWVEXUJ Ă€QLVKHG VHW RQH and set two went in similar fashion to Grantsburg, 25-15. Siren held their best for the last set and really gave the Pirates a run for their money, eventually falling behind and losing 25-23. Pirates coach Deb Allaman Johnson gave Siren the credit they deserve from her webpage. “Siren is good! Their knowledgeable

coaches have worked with these players for many years. They run a fast offense, have powerful hitters, and play good defense. Lizzie Stanford is one of the best players around, and she is a class act.� Allaman-Johnson wasn’t as complimentary of her own team’s serving. “Our serving stunk. We served 84.7 percent. Our worst performance of the season.� Leading the Pirates in kills for the night was Rhiana Pochman with 10 followed by Livi Tucker with nine.

Grants available for hunter recruitment, development, training and education programs MADISON - Local conservation clubs, organizations, communities, individuals, governments, tribes, and colleges and universities have until Nov. 17, 2015, to apply for cost sharing to develop and conduct hunter training, development and education programs. The Department of Natural Resource is making $200,000 in federal Wildlife Restoration funds (Pittman-Robertson) available to ensure the development of safe, ethical hunters through the Hunter Training, Development and Education Grant program. The projects may get under way as early as May 2016 and can cover up to two years. The grant prioritizes funding for programs that introduce hunting to people

who would not otherwise have had exposure, in particular focusing on adults, females and families. “There is a great need for strategically developed, tested programs and results on which we can base future program priorities,� said Keith Warnke, DNR hunting and shooting sports coordinator. Pilot studies have shown that there is growing interest in hunting from adults and families who have never hunted. There is a need to expand the effort to provide effective training and education for responsible new hunters and mentors by developing a private-public partnership reimbursement grant program – similar to the shooting range grant program. This program is grounded in the basic

idea that novice hunters need someone to teach skills and share knowledge with them. This grant program will also be focused on developing trials and evaluating effectiveness of pilot projects.

Vintage baseball at its best Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer GRANTSBURG – Dressed in uniforms from the game’s early days, Grantsburg and Weyerhaeuser VWHSSHG RQWR WKH *UDQWVEXUJ +LJK 6FKRRO Ă€HOG RQ Sunday, Sept. 20, for a vintage baseball game. The Grantsburg team, whose players were all former mates on the old Honkers team, wore replicas of uniforms worn by the 1911 Grantsburg High School team. ´:H RUGHUHG WKH XQLIRUPV IURP WKH 9LQWDJH %DVHEDOO )DFWRU\ LQ &RQQHFWLFXW Âľ VDLG WHDP RUJDQL]HU DQG captain Ted Gerber. The Weyerhaeuser team wore jerseys circa 1949. A private individual, who was part of the Polish National Alliance, bought the jerseys and loaned them to the players for the game. “Weyerhaeuser has always had a proud Polish heritage, and the players thought they would honor those teams and that heritage by wearing the vintage jerseys,â€? commented team member Brett Ridout. Eighty-two-year-old Dutch Benik, who was a member of that 1949 team, was excited to be back on WKH Ă€HOG SOD\LQJ ZLWK WKLV WHDP \HDUV ODWHU Gerber said the idea to hold the vintage game came about during the planning process for Grantsburg’s 150-year celebration.

“The Grantsburg Sesquicentennial Committee was looking for an event that had a historic angle and originally thought a Civil War re-enactment would be appropriate, since Grantsburg was formed in 1865 during the last year of the Civil War, and of course is named after General Ulysses S. Grant. “However, when that didn’t come together, I thought it would be cool to have a vintage baseball game; I had seen old pictures of Grantsburg teams and also had pictures of the Blueberry Special having special ‘baseball trains’ that would haul people over to Rush City to watch games. Plus it just seemed like a fun event! And it was; I think everyone involved had a great time.� One spectator, Kayleen Branstad, decided to embrace the vintage theme. Branstad showed up for the game looking quite fetching dressed in her Grantsburg Centennial gown and twirling her matching parasol. The fans in the stands agreed watching an old-time baseball game was a great way to spend a warm fall day.

SCF school board weighs policy on policy change

Multiple readings may be reduced

Greg Marsten | Staff writer 67 &52,; )$//6 ² 6W &URL[ )DOOV 6FKRRO 'LVWULFW $Gministrator Mark Burandt will investigate the policy behind the policy change requirements for the district, as they usually have three readings for any policy changes, spread over several board meetings. Burandt said he would like to possibly streamline that process down to just two readings. “It would then go from committee to the full board,â€? Burandt said at the Tuesday, Sept. 22, regular board meeting. “But nothing would force your hand.â€? Burandt assured the board that they could still delay or ask for further review of any of those items under consideration. The board did agree that few, if any, changes are ever made during those various readings, and they would still have the option to add another layer of review, if needed. Burandt said he is investigating the process and said the board may have to go through a three-reading process to change any appropriate policy change to the policy change procedure. “Yes, we may have to modify the policy to approve policy,â€? Burandt said with a smile. The board took no action, but will consider the issue at a future meeting.

Burandt said. “Some of them may go over 30 hours. Using a look back, they may qualify.â€? The board also approved a 90-day “stability periodâ€? where employees who may have previously qualified for insurance can continue on the policy for 90 days, in spite of no longer meeting the 30-hour threshold. “The ACA has done a lot of great things, but this is one of the glitches,â€?

After decades of teaching in Kansas, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Poland, Sweden and Norway, she is happy to be back in the woods of her youth, and to have wonderful, enthusiastic community education students of drama and writing.
