UP FRONT National Newspaper Week, which runs from Oct. 6-12, promotes the value of community newspapers. The InterCounty Leader strives not only to “hold up the mirror� to our lives but also to provide accurate information in the American tradition of a free, aggressive and responsible press. National Newspaper Week has been celebrated for 73 years, and the Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association, publishers of the Leader and Washburn County Register, has been around for all of those years - and then some ... 80 years to be exact. As the only cooperative-owned weekly newspapers in America, we celebrate National Newspaper Week in conjunction with October Cooperative Month. And we take this opportunity to thank our loyal readers for their support. - Editor

October is Cooperative Month

Wisconsin: A hotbed of hot cooperatives 3DUW WZR RI ÀYH SDUW VHULHV by The Alliance of Polk Burnett Cooperatives We are exceptional, unique. We are also common, one among many, a part of a large whole. We are a cooperative. The Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association is, as far as we know, the only newspaper co-op in Wisconsin, though there are other printing and publishing companies. It is possible that we are the only co-op newspapers in the country. But Wisconsin has thousands of co-ops of various types—credit unions, electric co-ops, phone co-ops and mutual insurance companies. It also has cooperative grocery stores, dairies, agricultural stores, bookstores, musicians, artists and crafters.

Suspicious incident raises questions

by Greg Marsten Leader staff writer OSCEOLA – Details of an incident involving a man possibly impersonating a law ofĂ€FHU DW D ORFDO ZRPDQ¡V UXUDO KRPH VRXWK RI Osceola have come to the attention of Polk County authorities in recent days, and several hundred others in social media, as well. According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Department, a woman noticed her dog barking on a recent afternoon sometime around 4:30 p.m., and when she went out to see what was upsetting the dog, she discovered a man peering around her barn, wearing a jacket with “Sheriffâ€? emblazoned on it, and sporting a gun belt. She asked what he was doing, and the man replied that he was investigating an ATV complaint. The woman then said the man gave no more details as a tan Chevrolet or GMC pickup approached on the roadway, and the man said that was “his partner,â€? and quickly jumped into the passenger side and left. “She said the driver was wearing plain clothes,â€? stated PCSD Capt. Steve Smith. “We don’t know of anybody who was doing legiti-

mated (law enforcement) work at that time in that area.â€?

The woman reported the incident on her social media page, which quickly caught on and went viral locally, with several hundred people noting it and asking about the incident. “She said it was nagging on her, and she wanted to double-check with us,â€?

Bad guys getting “badder,â€? Sheriff Roland reports by Jean Koelz Leader staff writer BURNETT COUNTY—Members of the public safety committee expressed concern at the regular Thursday, Oct. 3, meeting over the effect of the decreased number of beds in the county jail and its effect on the sheriff’s budget. Sheriff Dean Roland reported that right now the budget looks good, and he praised his staff for doing a nice job managing things. “We house about 14-20 prisoners out of county on average,â€? Roland said. “Believe me, I look at this every day. Right now, we’re OK.â€? However, Roland also cautioned the committee. “We’re bringing in more bad guys that are ‘badder’ than usual, which means longer stays and they can’t make bond.â€?

Roland said. “But any future sheriff can change that.â€? 9LOODJH GHSDUWPHQWV The conversation continued, focusing on the impact of a shorthanded sheriff’s department on the village police departments.

The following is from futureswithoutviolence.org: • On average more than three women a day are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in the United States. In 2005, 1,181 women were murdered by an intimate partner.\• Nearly one in four women in the United States reports experiencing violence by a current or former spouse or boyfriend at some point in her life. • Women are much more likely than men to be victimized by a current or former intimate partner. • Women are 84 percent of spouse abuse victims and 86 percent of victims of abuse at the hands of a boyfriend or girlfriend and about three-fourths of the persons who commit family violence are male. • The United States Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that 3.4 million people said they were victims of stalking during a 12month period in 2005 and 2006. Women experience 20 stalking victimizations per 1,000 females age 18 and older, while men experience approximately seven stalking victimizations per 1,000 males age 18 and older. - Gary King with information from futureswithoutviolence.org Editor’s note: To download a domestic abuse risk assessment app for mobile device or take an online risk assessment, click on link on the Leader’s website at the-leader.net

County seeks FCC deadline extension

More delays for communications projects

by Jean Koelz Leader staff writer BURNETT COUNTY – “We had a glitch,� Burnett County Emergency Management director Rhonda Reynolds announced in a Wednesday, Oct. 3, public safety meeting, referencing progress on the $4.5 million communications project. On Tuesday, Oct. 2, workers from Joe Daniels Construction, the company hired to prepare tower sites for equipment installation, were turned away at Hertel and Danbury by members of the St. Croix Tribe’s environmental and natural resources department. “They’ve raised a bunch of questions and objections,� Reynolds explained. Issues have to do with compensation, ownership and access. For example, a small shed has to be built to house the generator and supplies. There’s no precedent for a building on tribal land that is not owned by the tribe. With respect to access, it is tribal policy for non-tribal members to be

escorted by tribal staff while on the reservation. The tribe and the county will need to coordinate all third-party provisions of installation, maintenance and even snow removal. The objections were completely unexpected, as agreements were signed in 2011 and are valid for at least 10 years from the Nov. 14 signature date. According to the Memorandum of Understanding, signed by county board Chair Don Taylor and tribal council Chair Stuart Bearheart, it is clear that the county was authorized to install and perform maintenance on equipment. However, the agreement also mandates that all visits were to be coordinated through the tribe’s environmental protection agency, and it is not clear whether the department was SURSHUO\ QRWLĂ€HG (QYLURQPHQWDO QDWXral resources director Katie Stariha could not be reached for comment prior to press time. “My recommendation is that this be discussed and resolved at the highest levels,â€? Reynolds told the committee. Reynolds recommended a conversation take place between Don Taylor and current

tribal council Chairman Lewis Taylor. “I don’t expect it will be that big of a delay,â€? (Don) Taylor said. However, a week has passed and the two have yet to talk. The development is just one more in a string of project delays. According to Reynolds, the county has already begun contingency planning. On the recommendation of its consultant, G.J. Therkelsen, the county has prepared an application for deadline extension from the FCC. With the federal government shutdown, it is unknown whether such a request can even be processed in time, but the county was told when it received its last extension (from Jan. 1, 2013 to Jan. 1, 2014) that it was the last extension available. Following that, the FCC is able to DVVHVV Ă€QHV RI SHU GD\ DQG HYHQ revoke the license altogether.

This “narrowbanding� affects a variety of radio users, but primarily police agencies, fire departments, ambulance services, utilities, airlines and taxicab companies. The county has been working for several years with a consultant to design and implement an upgraded system involving nine communications towers and an updated call center. However, local municipalities and service providers have been frustrated by the county’s slow progress toward meeting the FCC requirements. Reynolds was able to report some good news. Construction can now begin on the Mosaic tower in Grantsburg, which was held up due to a state requirement for all tribes to sign off on an agreement. A project update meeting with the county’s system designer and equipment provider, Racom, has been scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 15. And a request for proposal to redesign the county’s dispatch center has been published with a Nov. 1 deadline.

Green lights for Polk County proposed budget

Multiple meetings held as budget heads for county board

by Gregg Westigard Leader staff writer BALSAM LAKE – The 2014 proposed Polk County budget will head for the county board next Tuesday, Oct. 15, for preliminary approval and publication. The recommended budget was presented to the supervisors by county Administrator Dana Frey in early September, probably the earliest 2014 county budget in the state. Since then, the county governing committees have been reviewing the proposal. In the past week, every county committee has met, and every committee has recommended approval of the department budgets under their jurisdiction, with no changes. Tuesday, Oct. 8, was an especially busy day for committee meetings, with three committees, human services, land information and public health, all meeting at

the same time of the morning in different rooms in the government center building and forcing Frey and the press to hustle from meeting to meeting. Later that day, the Golden Age Manor Board also met. Each committee met early in the month to review the budget before the county board meeting. While all gave a green light to that 2014 budget, there were some other committee actions. The highway committee, last Thursday, Oct. 3, endorsed a proposed street project in the city of St. Croix Falls, a reconstruction of Vincent Street north from Hwy. 8 and of Maple Street up the hill toward the school. The project is planned for 2015, and the city was asking for FRXQW\ EDFNLQJ QRW ÀQDQFLDO KHOS DV LW applies for grants.

will be in next week’s paper.

of the Wisconsin statutes was explained which might have made all that process void. The situation has probably been resolved, but the complicated review is nearing a conclusion of stage one.

New Amish neighbors in Frederic area

Greeted at haystack supper Saturday

by Gregg Westigard Leader staff writer FREDERIC – Five Amish families have moved into the Frederic area over the past year. The families are living on farms in rural Clam Falls and Bone Lake. People may notice their black horse-drawn carriages on the local roads. The Amish are a branch of the Mennonite Church known for their traditional way of living which includes plain dress and nonownership of automobiles. Last Saturday, Oct. 5, the families hosted a haystack supper at Hacker’s Lanes in Frederic to feed the community and raise funds for work on their schoolhouse. From 4 to 8 p.m. area people ate a hearty meal topped off by a piece of homemade pie. The Amish hosts prepared 57 pies and served them all. They hope for a bigger turnout for their next haystack supper in November. The Amish are known as good craftspeople and construction/carpentry work had been drawing them to this area from their previous homes near New Auburn.

Letters We are to blame The Tea Party and their allies are willing to throw us all overboard with their tea, so passionate are they in their beliefs. They have managed to do what the feared terrorists could not do - shut down a portion of our government. Of course, they will blame the Democrats, for refusing to give in to their political blackmail. What else can you call it, but blackmail, when they say, “Repeal or modify this law (Obamacare), or we’ll hold the whole nation hostage.� Who is to blame for this kind of Washington deadlock? We are! These are the representatives for whom we voted, each still egged on by a host of encouraging supporters. When it comes to government, I fear we basically wind up getting that for which we have asked. Let’s stop asking for these people. Vote them out! Otherwise, we have no reason to complain about Washington gridlock. We’re getting exactly what we deserve. Pastor David Almlie Frederic

I’ll remember Some people are unaware that the local national park, the St. Croix National Wild and Scenic Riverway, is closed to the public because of the federal government shutdown. Wild River Outfitters has complied with the National Park Service’s closure of access to the river. Although I don’t like the riverway closure and the negative effect it has on my business’ bottom line, I know that the park service staff is just doing their job as directed. I know these people; they work, live and send their kids to schools in our communities. I don’t hold park service staff responsible for the government shutdown and the subsequent closing of the riverway. However, I do hold our representatives in Washington responsible for the federal government shutdown and the resulting NPS closure of the riverway. Most of that responsibility lays at the feet of the Republicans in the House of Representatives. Heading that list is House Speaker John Boehner. Next on the list are Tea Party Republican representatives. One such representative is our Rep. Sean Duffy, representing the 7th District in Northwest Wisconsin. Duffy has consistently voted with Tea Party Republicans that are currently holding the rest of government and the nation hostage. He and his Tea Party cohorts are the ones responsible for the government shutdown and any subsequent national fallout. Why the impasse? In a nutshell, the most recent Boehner/Tea Party demand is: The president and Senate Democrats must negotiate with the House Repub-

licans on spending cuts to entitlement programs (i.e. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.) before the House will pass a budget. In previous weeks, the House Tea Party demand was that the Affordable Health Care Act, Obamacare, must be stopped or severely amended in order to pass the budget bill. Have you ever heard of moving the goalposts in the middle of the game? I wonder where they will move them next? If these issues are so important to the Tea Party House Representatives and supported by their constituents, I suggest that they bring them up in the House in separate bills and vote on them on their own merits. Right now, they are holding the country hostage by demanding that these nonrelated issues be linked to the budget bill. When the next election comes, I’ll remember who’s responsible for this mess and the negative effect it had on my business and livelihood ‌ and the nation. I hope you’ll remember, too. Next time, remember to vote for a progressive that has your and the nation’s interests in mind rather than for someone that has only limited rigid views and their own careers in sight.

Do we want our landscape cratered with mines and our roads crowded with roaring trucks (stop across the Hwy. 70 bridge and park on the Minnesota side west of Grantsburg and see what that is like at the frac sand mine along the St. Croix). We enjoy our private land for a brief period, our individual time here on earth. During that time we have the responsibility to do our best to conserve it for the next generation, that is the true meaning of being conservative. Russell B. Hanson Cushing

In a survey, 34 percent of Republicans thought Obama was a Muslim, 30 percent said he was born in Kenya. I wonder what that number would’ve been had Obama had been born white. He is half white/half black, which leaves him with a complexion similar to what Jesus would have had. The Fox News of Jesus’ day would probably have called Jesus an Arab terrorist.

How can counties grow?

Wisconsin keeps working This week’s news was dominated by the inability of our leaders in Washington, D.C., to come to an agreement on a budget, resulting in a government shutdown. Combined with the shutdown of the Minnesota state government two years ago, we know that gridlock can be an all-too-common problem for those seeking a budget agreement. Given the current situation in our nation’s capital and the history in our neighboring state, it is all the more reason to take pride in Wisconsin’s tradition of working together and enacting commonsense reforms. Not only have the past three state budget bills been passed and signed into law on time, but our state also has sound mechanisms in place that allow us to avoid government shutdowns.

Customer service training and surveys must be ongoing for all members and posted everywhere. 5. High taxes are the biggest barrier to job creation. What we can affect locally is the property tax. Our biggest opportunity is our schools, which are 55 percent of our property tax. Our enrollments have been downward for years and the Internet will accelerate the decline. We need to ask why we are not merging school districts now like Frederic/Luck and Webster/Siren. Doing that reduces administration costs by over $100,000, each, to start. 6. Budget reserves at the school district and county levels need a review and a downward adjustment. An example of $1 million in annual expenses says a reserve of two times that is ample. That means 100 percent over budget protection. Remember, they can adjust their tax dollars to us yearly. Those current reserves need to reduce our current taxes downward yesterday. The University of Wisconsin had a $650 million reserve and is still increasing costs to our students. I question the ethics of all government/school reserves. 7.

Gingras says they didn’t expect their six navigators would have to pay $39 for a background check, $150 for an online training course and $75 for an exam. Gingras says that the exam location also posed a problem. “We are in very rural Northwest Wisconsin,� he says. “Pretty much anywhere we need to go is a pretty far drive.�

Gingras says their funding is limited. Their agency and two others are sharing $285,000 of a federal navigator grant to serve 27 counties. The fees are an additional expense. “The reality is if we want to be successful in our grant, these are costs we have to incur.â€?

Veterans memorial proposed in Polk County

Hwy. 8 site would honor all who have served

said there are 4,000 vets now living in Polk County and possibly 40,000 in Northwest Wisconsin. “We will recognize them all,� Martin said. A proposed site for the memorial is the old Country Dam property at the Apple River on Hwy. 8. The memorial would be on the property along the river just north of the motel on land Polk County has owned for several years. Martin said the memorial project is in the initial stages of planning and fundraising, and the presentation was for information only.

by Gregg Westigard Leader staff writer BALSAM LAKE - Polk County and Northwest Wisconsin have sent many people off to serve our country. A memorial is now being proposed to honor those who have served in the armed forces of the country over the many years. The Indianhead Country Veterans Memorial would be a lasting way to remember those who have lost their lives in service, to all who have served and to the families who have provided support to the veterans in the past and do so today. Members of the Memorial Association presented an outline of their proposal to the Polk County Property Committee Monday, Oct. 7. Jerry Martin, lieutenant colonel, retired, U.S. Army, was the spokesperson for the group. He said that the memorial will remember all veterans from all wars, with their names inscribed and, when possible, their stories told. The memorial will also be a way to make people aware of those who come back injured, whose who survived but are disabled. Martin

The marketplace, simplified

by Danielle Moe Special to the Leader SHELL LAKE – For the next six months individuals can call or log on to apply for coverage from the health insurance marketplace. Opened on Oct. 1, the marketplace gives people the opportunity to weigh coverage options and get coverage. Open enrollment is the time period when anyone can buy or change their insurance coverage. This year the open enrollment period includes the new marketplace. For those who enroll in a marketplace plan, coverage can begin as soon as Jan. 1, 2014.

qualify for free or low-cost coverage. Plans in the marketplace cannot deny you coverage based on pre-existing conditions, and cannot charge women more than men for the same plan. There are four categories of insurance plans in the marketplace, bronze, silver, gold and platinum. The different categories help you choose what plan is right for you and in no way indicate the quality or amount of care the plan provides. The category of plan UHĂ HFWV KRZ PXFK \RXU SUHPLXP FRVWV HDFK PRQWK DQG what portion of the bill you will pay. It also determines the total amount you will spend for the year if you need additional care. Private companies insure the plans listed on the marketplace, but your state or federal government manages the marketplace. The state of Wisconsin does not manage its own marketplace, and residents must use the federal marketplace. Regardless of where you live anyone can apply using the federal marketplace on healthcare.gov. or calling 800-318-2596. Those without coverage in 2014 will pay a penalty of $95 per adult, $47.50 per child, or 1 percent of your in-

The Tigers defense was on throughout the night, giving up just 81 yards of total offense. Alex Spafford completed two passes for 42 yards, while the Tigers amassed 281 yards rushing. Aaron Dietmeier had 114 yards on 18 carries and one touchdown. Ryan Curtis had 93 yards on 24 carries, and Hopkins had 74 yards on 14 carries. Hopkins had both catches for a total of 42 yards.

Shawn Stevens had 3.5, Max Norman, three, Brett Richison, 2.5, and Dietmeier, Lance Preston and Dade McCarthy each had two. “We gave up as many yards on the opening kickoff as we did on defense the entire night, so that’s good news for our defense, but our kickoff team needs to be an area of improvement as the playoffs approach,� Kroll said.

With the win, the Vikes improved their overall record to 3-4. Next week, Frederic travels to Tony for a conference clash with the Flambeau Falcons, with Poirier, a sophomore, taking the helm at quarterback. “We just kind of got to move on. I tried to explain to them that we all feel really bad, but feeling really bad and then playing poorly isn’t going to help him (Braden), i’ts not going to help them and it’s not going to change anything. So they just have to kind of dig deep, get out there and win a couple more games to get in the playoffs,� Belanger said.

Unity defense steps up in win over Flambeau 8QLW\ )ODPEHDX by Marty Seeger Leader staff writer BALSAM LAKE – Trailing 10-6 late in the fourth quarter, the Flambeau Falcons football team was knocking at the Eagles door on Friday, Oct. 4. Facing a fourth down with 5 yards to go from near the Eagles 20-yard line, the Falcons were stuffed at their line of scrimmage and an elated Eagles football team did what they’d been doing all night long – playing solid defense and keeping their playoff hopes alive. “Our defense played very well,� said Eagles coach Dave Anderson. “We made some big stops in our own red zone. Coach Shaun Fisher has pushed the bendbut-don’t-break defense all year, and we did a great job with that philosophy in this game. We didn’t give up any big plays and stopped all but one of Flambeau’s big drives.� With under two minutes to go the Eagles took over from deep in their own territory, and came up huge on the second play of the drive as Zac Johnson connected with Justin Bradley on a nearly 65-yard pass play to put the Eagles inside the Flambeau 10-yard line. Despite a delay-of-game penalty with 1:14 remaining in the game, Dylan Ruck, who had 111 yards on 19 carries, put the ball in the end zone. A Bradley kick put the Eagles up 17-6, where the score remained as time wore out. Bradley helped seal the win for good with an interception. “The offense was able to move the ball

POLK  COUNTY  LAND  CONSERVATION  COMMITTEE NOTICE  OF  PUBLIC  HEARING THE  POLK  COUNTY  AGRICULTURE  &  FARMLAND  PRESERVATION 2014-­2023  PLAN PLEASE  TAKE  NOTICE,  that  in  accordance  with  ss.  66.1001(4)  and  91.10(3),  Wis.  Stats.,  on  Tuesday,  November  5,  2013,  at  9:30  a.m.,  in  the  County  Boardroom  at  the  Polk  County  Govern-­ ment  Center,  100  Polk  County  Plaza,  Balsam  Lake,  Wisconsin,  the  Polk  County  Land  Conservation  Committee  will  hold  a  public  hearing  on  the  proposed  Polk  County  Agriculture  and  Farmland  Preservation  2014-­2023  Plan,  herein  referred  to  as  â€œThe  Proposed  Amended  Plan.â€?  During  said  public  hearing,  the  Land  Conservation  Committee  will  receive  written  and  verbal  public  review  and  commentary,  conduct  open  discussion,  and  receive  and  discuss  staff  information  provided  on  the  Proposed  Amended  Plan  Pursuant  to  s.  91.10(5),  Wis.  Stat.,  Polk  County  has  provided  notice  of  public  hearing  and  copy  of  The  Proposed  Amended  Plan  to  the  Wisconsin  Department  of  Agricul-­ ture,  Trade  and  Consumer  Protection  (DATCP).  The  Land  Conservation  Committee  will  receive  any  review  or  commentary  provided  by  DATCP  before  or  during  said  public  hearing.  At  the  close  of  the  public  hearing,  the  Land  Conservation  Committee  will  consider  information  and  comments  received  and  take  action  by  resolution  to  recommend  the  Polk  County  Board  of  Supervisors  adopt  The  Proposed  Amended  Plan,  with  or  without  appropriate  revision. Summary  of  the  Proposed  Polk  County  Agriculture  and  Farmland  Preservation  2014-­2023  Plan: Polk  County  has  had  a  Farmland  Preservation  Plan  since  1979.  Recently,  the  Wisconsin  Dept.  of  Agriculture  revised  its  Administrative  Rule,  Chapter  91,  relating  to  farmland  preservation.  As  part  of  this  revision,  each  county  needed  to  update  their  existing  plans  to  incorporate  the  new  admin-­ istrative  rule.  The  main  purpose  of  the  Agriculture  and  Farmland  Preservation  Plan  is  to  allow  for  citizens  of  Polk  County  to  be  able  to  collect  farmland  preservation  tax  credits.  The  plan  will  also  be  a  guiding  document  for  decision  making. Polk  County  began  updating  this  plan  in  the  spring  of  2012  with  an  informational  meeting.  A  citi-­ zen  committee  was  developed  to  guide  this  process  and  provide  input.  In  addition  to  this  citizen  committee,  there  were  several  county  workshops  on  this  topic,  as  well  as  a  written  survey  distrib-­ uted  to  solicit  even  further  input  from  Polk  County  citizens. The  proposed  Polk  County  Agriculture  and  Farmland  Preservation  2014-­2023  Plan  (The  Pro-­ posed  Amended  Plan)  considers  and  discusses  trends  as  well  as  the  opinions  expressed  by  citi-­ zens  through  meetings  and  related  planning  documents.  The  Proposed  Amended  Plan  needed  to  identify  lands  suitable  for  preservation.  To  identify  these  lands,  a  system  was  developed  to  clas-­ sify  lands  in  the  county.  The  system  is  called  the  Land  Evaluation  Site  Assessment  tool.  This  tool  scores  lands  in  the  county  based  on  objective  criteria  including:  soils  capability  classes,  proximity  to  a  city/village,  total  number  of  acres  in  agricultural  use,  surrounding  property  land  use,  etc.  The  Proposed  Amended  Plan  incorporates  this  particular  site  assessment  tool  and  also  incorporates  new  maps,  created  from  this  information.  The  maps  simply  identify  what  properties  in  the  county  have  quality  soils  and  other  factors  that  make  it  more  suitable  for  continued  agricultural  use.  These  identified  properties  would  be  eligible  to  participate  in  the  State  of  Wisconsin  Farmland  Preservation  Program  through  avenues  of  that  program. The  Proposed  Amended  Plan  utilizes  certain  new  zoning  districting  that  is  certified  by  the  State  of  Wisconsin.  This  new  zoning  district,  called  â€œFarmland  Preservation  District,â€?  will  replace  the  exist-­ ing  â€œExclusive  Agriculture  Districtâ€?  in  Polk  County’s  zoning  ordinances.  Farming  and  forestry  are  two  types  of  economic  development  that  are  important  to  Polk  County,  but  unlike  most  other  forms  of  economic  development,  farming  and  forestry  are  dependent  on  significant  quantities  of  high  quality  lands.  The  Proposed  Amended  Plan  helps  address  this  fact  and  illuminates  the  opin-­ ions  of  the  citizens  of  Polk  County  in  those  regards. Designated  County  Employees  for  Additional  Information: Copies  of  the  proposed  Polk  County  Agriculture  and  Farmland  Preservation  2014-­2023  Plan;Íž  and  Comment  Forms  for  The  Proposed  Amended  Plan  are  available  for  public  review  in  the  offices  of  the  Polk  Land  Information  Office,  100  Polk  County  Plaza,  Suite  130,  Balsam  Lake,  Wisconsin,  and  the  Polk  County  Land  and  Water  Resources  Department,  100  Polk  County  Plaza,  Suite  120,  Balsam  Lake,  Wisconsin.  A  digital  copy  of  the  proposed  Polk  County  Agriculture  and  Farmland  Preservation  2014-­2023  Plan  and  an  electronic  comment  form  are  available  on  Polk  County’s  website  at  the  following  address: http://www.co.polk.wi.us/landwater/county%20draft%20plan%20page.asp In  accordance  with  s.  66.1001(4)(d)3.,  Wis.  Stats.,  additional  copies  of  the  proposed  amendment  to  the  plan  and  additional  information  concerning  the  proposed  amendment  to  the  plan  may  be  received  from  the  following  designated  county  employees: Eric  Wojchik Tim  Anderson Bob  Kazmierski Conservation  Planner County  Planner UW  Extension 100  Polk  County  Plaza 100  Polk  County  Plaza 100  Polk  County  Plaza Suite  120 Suite  130 Suite  190 Balsam  Lake,  WI  54810 Balsam  Lake,  WI  54810 Balsam  Lake,  WI  54810 715-­485-­8644 715-­485-­9225 715-­485-­8608 ericw@co.polk.wi.us tim.anderson@co.polk.wi.us bob.kazmierski@co.polk.wi.us .

As luck would have it I remember sitting in the radiation department waiting area, feeling pretty alone. I was beginning to rethink my decision to go by myself for 36 days of treatments. I looked around the room. Several other women were also sitting by themselves and I realized I wasn’t alone in my decision to make these unwanted trips unaccompanied by family or friends. Over the next few weeks the faces of these women would become familiar to me. We would smile politely to each other as each was called in for zapping, and then we’d give a nod on our way out as if to say, “Well, see you tomorrow.â€? This limited interaction continued without any conversation occurring between us day in and day out. We were polite but kept our distance. Our hesitation to speak with one another was denial, pure and simple. If we actually started talking the topic was sure to turn to one we didn’t want to hear about at all. We just wanted to get our treatment, get on our way, and get back to a normal life. One day when something went amiss with one of the X-ray machines, patients used to getting in and out on schedule became impatient. Having to wait was delaying that notion we could keep everything normal and we didn’t like it. Well, the old saying of misery loves company started to apply real fast. Soon women all around the waiting area, who for weeks had only known each other in passing, were talking to one another and making connections. Little did I know then, the seven women including myself, who as luck would have it, happened to sit down next to each other that day, would become such a cherished group of friends. ,¡P QRW VXUH ZKR ZDV Ă€UVW WR FRPSODLQ

&RUQHU Priscilla Bauer about the delayed treatments but most likely it was Shari, who to this day remains the most outspoken of our informal support group that came into being that day. Yes, it must have been Shari. With that inquisitive mind of hers always needing to know the who, what, where, when, why, and how from everyone, I’ve often thought she should have been the reporter instead of me. We began by exchanging names and where we were from, with bits of personal of personal information following. We quickly discovered three of us had January birthdays, two of us knew the same woman, two of us had ties to Burnett County, and oh yeah, all of us had breast cancer. That day a bond was formed and we became the R-Gang. Now, instead of waiting alone for our treatments we sat together, staying until each of us was done with our daily dose of R. As the dates of our last treatment grew closer one of us (most likely Shari) said, “Hey, we should keep doing this.� We all laughed. No one wanted to keep doing THIS. But the idea of getting together to talk was something we did want to do. So we made plans to have lunch the next month to celebrate everyone being done with their treatments. Now here’s where my recollection of how the R-Gang came to be gets really good. You know how you say to someone,

“We’ll have to get together� and it never happens? Well, guess what, our lunch did happen and the lunches have kept happening. This summer we celebrated 13 years of caring and sharing lunches together. We’ve had some bumps (but thankfully no more lumps) along the way, experiencing deaths of family and friends (including our beloved R-Gang girl, Sherri Belanger, so young and beautiful, who left us shortly after the group formed) changes in jobs, living spaces and relationships. But we’ve had some bright spots, too, new adventures and ventures, from sailing off to exotic isles, to starting new businesses, to getting married (Congrats Teri!). And through all the life changes we’ve stayed faithful to that promise we made years ago in that waiting room, to get

together as often as we can. We hardly ever mention breast cancer now when we’re together even though it is what brought us together. These days we talk about the good things in our lives, family, friends and fun.

Maybe it was just luck or coincidence we ended up sitting next to each other in that waiting room. I like to think everything happens for a reason. Still, I am feeling very lucky I have the R-Gang for continued support and friendship. And very lucky, too, we are still surviving and thriving to get together.

Great strides have been made in early detection and treatment of breast cancer, and today’s survivors are living proof.

Habitat launches Buck for Luck campaign ST. CROIX FALLS - Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity celebrated World Habitat Day this year on Monday, Oct. 7, by launching a Buck for Luck campaign. Support Habitat’s efforts to end poverty housing by donating a dollar and getting a pinup with your name posted. Pinups are available at Wayne’s Foods and the Bon Ton Tavern, both in Luck. The campaign will run until Monday, Oct. 21. “Pitching in a buck to help build a home for a family who needs it is a fun and easy way to support Habitat’s work, including the home we are building in Luck right now with the Taylor family,� said Eric Kube, executive director of WRHFH. “We hope lots of our supporters will stop in to Wayne’s or the Bon Ton to show their support.� On World Habitat Day, Habitat for Humanity International joined the United Nations-designated day to recognize the basic need for adequate shelter around the world. Habitat’s observances began with the International Day of Prayer on Sunday, Oct. 6, to place in the hearts and minds of people everywhere the idea that poverty housing is unacceptable and to keep faith at the center of a call to justice. Adequate shelter is a critical foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty. In addition, to commemorate World Habitat Day,

Habitat’s 30th-annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project will be held Oct. 6-12 in Oakland and San Jose, Calif.; Denver, New York City and Union Beach, N.J. Other ways to join the fight against poverty housing locally include volunteering at a build. Volunteers are needed in Amery, Luck and Grantsburg. Volunteers are also needed to staff the ReStores in St. Croix Falls and Spooner. For more information, go to wildrivershabitat.org or call 715-483-2700.

I looked around the room at all the heads nodding, yes, they had always wanted to write, my fellow students agreed. I wondered if they always would.

While talking about her experiences on the court, I’m struck by how much she attributes her team’s performance to something called momentum. Shifts in momentum: athletes, sports fans and analysts talk about this all the time. But what is it exactly? Is it real or magic? Truly experienced or just imagined? Assuming it is real, is there any way to capture and transfer this “witchcraftâ€? to other areas of our lives outside of athletics?

Claudia Schmidt and Dean Magraw coming to Festival Theatre ST. CROIX FALLS - One does not have to travel far to hear live, worldclass music. Festival Theatre’s intimate acoustic venue is perfect for the likes of vocalist/musician Claudia Schmidt and master guitarist Dean Magraw, performing together on Saturday, Oct. 19, at 7:30 p.m. Schmidt, a returning Festival Theatre favorite, is a highly talented folk and jazz artist with extensive performance experience and the natural ability to connect with her listeners. Almost four decades as a touring professional have found Schmidt, a Michigan native, traversing North America as well as Europe in venues ranging from intimate clubs to 4,000-seat theaters, and festival stages in front of 25,000 rapt listeners. She has recorded 14 albums of mostly original songs, exploring folk, blues and jazz idioms featuring her acclaimed 12-string guitar and mountain dulcimer playing. Audiences learn to expect anything at a Schmidt concert: hymn, poem, bawdy verse, torch song, satire and the gamut of emotions. Her live performances are not to be missed. Her musicality is astonishing. Her joy and love of performing are contagious. She can weave the elements

SCRMC to take part in pilot project on emergency department transfers ST. CROIX FALLS - Starting this fall, St. Croix Regional Medical Center will be part of a national pilot project for small rural hospitals focusing on transfers from the emergency department. The project is supported by MetaStar and funded through the Centers for Medicare and 0HGLFDLG 6HUYLFHV 7KH 2IÀFH RI 5XUDO Health is also working in partnership on this effort. Wisconsin is one of eight states participating in the pilot project. While emergency care is important in all hospitals, it is particularly critical in rural hospitals where the distance from urban medical centers makes the effective triage, stabilization and transfer of patients essential.

Luck special ed students go to the ranch

by Greg Marsten Leader staff writer MILLTOWN - It was perfect afternoon for a trip to the ranch for nine Luck Schools special education students, who spent the day on Oct. 1 at the Otter Creek Ranch, outside Milltown. The children got a whole afternoon on the ranch, where they had a chance to

try their hands at horseback riding, petting goats, sheep, mini horses, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits and more. They also took several wagon rides around the miles of trails at the ranch. The event included nine special education students, ages 8-12, who had several teachers and school staff on hand to aid in a variety of activities around the ranch. Some of the children were initially a

little wary of the animals, but warmed up nicely to the atmosphere and sounds of the ranch. Several of the kids enjoyed relaxing, therapeutic individual rides, some of whom had never been on a horse before. One of the children who normally uses a wheelchair even had the chance to ride a horse and seemed to enjoy every minute it. The ranch

trip is a repeat of a similar event last year, and was the brainchild of several of the teachers involved with the special education program. Otter Creek Ranch offered their site without charge, and assisted with the event, which was a huge hit with the children, judging by the smiles.

Katelyn’s Challenge exceeds goal OSCEOLA – Osceola Community Church hosted the second-annual Katelyn’s Challenge Sunday, Oct. 6. The event is the result of second-grader Katelyn Knapp’s dream to bring families together for a fun day and to raise donations to help people in need in the community. Last year the event raised enough money to cover the co-pays for a local man to have surgery and a get new set of

teeth. The man had gone 20 years without teeth and in pain from a serious car accident. This year, Katelyn chose to join forces with People Loving People Inc. of Dresser. The event featured a family walk, food, a ERQĂ€UH V¡PRUHV DQG JDPHV IRU WKH FKLOdren. For a freewill donation, Marcia Carlson and Ellie Lindh also provided horse rides for the children. Katelyn’s goal was

to raise $1,200 to pay one month of travel costs for People Loving People Inc. to pick up food from several Trader Joe’s locations in Minnesota. Through the generosity of the community, and especially the members of Osceola Community Church, Katelyn’s Challenge exceeded that goal and was able to give $1,459.22 to the food ministry.

Katelyn hopes to continue the tradition and each year come alongside an individual, family or organization in the FRPPXQLW\ WKDW KDV D VSHFLÀF QHHG $Q\one still wanting to donate to this year’s cause or who has a need that could be met by next year’s Katelyn’s Challenge should contact Pastor Larry Mederich at Osceola Community Church. – with submitted information

On July 29, 2010, the unthinkable happened. While climbing with her partner in the Bolivian Andes, her partner, Pete Wiesenekker, slipped on the ice and began to fall. Blowing out the anchors, he pulled Suppe, who was attached to him, down as well. After alternately free-falling and skidding more than 1,100 feet, they came to rest at the bottom of the mountain face miraculously still alive.
