Sean Duffy introduces H.R. 4549 to allow states to properly manage national forests Washington D.C. вЂ“ Currently, 65 million acres of the National Forest System remain at high or very high risk of catastrophic wildfires, and up to 82 million acres are in need of forest health treatments. U.S. Congressman Sean Duffy (WI-07) introduced a bill this week that would require the U.S. Forest Service to manage national forest lands to meet annual timber harvest volume requirements in an effort to reduce these risks. If, after five years, the Forest Service is unable to meet the requirements for a designated area, Rep. DuffyвЂ™s bill would allow the state in which the forest is located to apply to manage the area. Rep. Duffy offered, вЂњThe state and counties have the resources and know-how to sustainably manage state forest lands вЂ“ management that is not currently taking place on federal forest lands. States should be given the opportunity to assist where the U.S. Forest Service is coming up short. вЂњFederal forests provide habitats for wildlife and offer amazing recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. They also serve as critical resources for our nationвЂ™s timber industry, from loggers and sawmill operators to manufacturers of forest products and biomass and renewable energy. We should do all we can to ensure that our forests, and surrounding communities, can be sustained for future generations.вЂќ Some estimates show that as many as 4,000 jobs could be created if Wisconsin's forests were managed at allowable sustainable levels.

These Continued on page 18 This weekвЂ™s local history article is an excerpt on the history of the Town of Hiles written by Bonnie Roberts in 1957. вЂњIn 1860, an old woodsman, Dan Gagen, established a trading post and inn on the banks of the Pine Lake. This log cabin was the only place that provided lodging for many trappers and traders. It was located on the Old Military Road which served as a mail route as far as Superior. This place was sold to J.B. Thompson of Wausau in 1863. H.B. Fessenden of Argonne moved to the post and was the only actual settler.

C. 1920-252-2142 P4 Submitted by Kate Schultz May is Older Americans Month Submitted by: Forest County Office on Aging Each May, the nation celebrates Older Americans Month to recognize older Americans for their contributions and provides information to help individuals stay healthy and active. This yearвЂ™s theme, "Safe Today, Healthy Tomorrow", focuses on injury prevention. Unintentional injuries result in at least 6 million older American medically treated injuries and more than 30,000 deaths each year. By taking control of personal safety, older Americans can live healthier lives. History of Older Americans Month When Older Americans Month was established in 1963, only 17 million living Americans had reached their 65th birthdays. About one-third of older Americans lived in poverty and there were few programs to meet needs. In April of 1963, President John F. KennedyвЂ™s meeting with the National Council of Senior Citizens served as a prelude to designating May as вЂњSenior Citizens MonthвЂќ. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter designated May as вЂњOlder Americans MonthвЂќ. Historically, Older Americans Month has been a time to acknowledge the contributions of past and current older persons to our communities and country, particularly those who defended our country. Every President since JFK has issued a formal proclamation during or before the month of May asking that the entire nation pay tribute in some way to older persons in their communities. The Forest County Office on Aging encourages all residents to consider the contributions of Older Americans to our communities and country and to offer to them a word of appreciation.

Ed was born January 1, 1925 in Blackwell, WI where he spent most of his childhood. He was the second son of Joseph and Catherine вЂњKatieвЂќ (Mihalko) Krawze and the younger brother to Chester вЂњChetвЂќ Krawze. In 1940 the family moved to Laona when Ed was a sophomore in high school. He attended Laona High where he met his future wife Rosemary Kaatz. During high school, Ed was active in sports. He played football but his love was basketball. One of the highlights of his basketball career was the year the Kellys went to state. The Kellys beat Rhinelander 24-22 to earn a trip to the state tournament in Madison. The Kellys unfortunately lost the title game to Superior 26-22. On the Superior team was a young man named Bud Grant who would go on to coach the Minnesota Vikings. This story was a favorite of EdвЂ™s to share. Following graduation from high school in 1943 Ed joined the U.S. Marines Corps where he served as a power supply and diesel mechanic. His time in the military gave him the opportunity to travel the country. He spent time stationed in South Dakota, North Carolina, Chicago, Hawaii and was in route to Japan when the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6. 1945. After the war officially ended Ed and his regiment participated in the occupation of Japan. On September 14, 1946 Ed married Rosemary Kaatz.

His jobs included a cop, firefighter, bartender, carpenter and of course, the 43 years he spent at Conner Forest Industries. Ed started at the mill in 1946 at 32 cents an hour where he worked in the furniture factory. In the 1970вЂ™s, Ed went into management. When the factory shut down in 1985, he was the last employee and it was Ed who locked the doors. Ed truly never retired. He supervised and participated in the building of many homes and remodeled numerous kitchens. Anytime someone needed a helping hand, Ed was always there to lend his. One of his favorite past times was spending time at the hunting shack with his poker buddies and reminiscing. He was an entertaining storyteller and had a wonderful sense of wit. He enjoyed deer hunting and ice fishing and in the summer time you could find him outside working in his garden. His home always had visitors. Usually it was his grandchildren who enjoyed spending time with him. Ed loved the company and the time he spent with his grand and great-grandkids.

Mr. Hiles not only bought the trading post but also created the village of Hiles. He was instrumental in getting a branch railroad built from the main Chicago Northwestern line and in erecting a saw mill, store and hotel. At this time land was taken from the towns of Crandon and Argonne to organize the Town of Hiles. A few years later Mr. Hiles sold his holdings both real estate and personal to the Foster Mueller Lumber Company of Milwaukee. This firm made considerable improvements and built more homes for their employees. Mr. C.W. Fish of Elcho bought the property in 1919 and under the successful management of Mr. O.A. Miller, Hiles cleaned up the streets, put in sidewalk, and planted trees. During the summer of 1924, a new Union Church and a very modern school building were erected and the old village park was beautified by the addition of a fountain. In 1924, there were eighty four families in Hiles. Some of the organizations in the town were: WomanвЂ™s Club, Protestant LadiesвЂ™ Aid, Catholic Ladies Aid, Royal Neighbors, M.W. of A, and Parent Teachers Association. In 1943, the Catholic and Lutheran churches burned down and later a new Lutheran church was constructed. One of the main attractions in Hiles is Pine Lake. It has helped to make Hiles a tourist resort. Most of the people living in Hiles (in1957) work in the woods or mills in other citiesвЂќ (Forest Republican 1957).

You can't have your cake, and eat it too What connection does WORVPI [Wisconsin Off Road Vehicle Park Inc] have to the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board? IвЂ™ve personally raised the issue of Ethics here in the pages of this Paper, and at several joint meetings of WORVPI and Our Elected County Board. When State and Local Officials are elected to Office, they take an Oath to вЂњfaithfully and impartially discharge the dutiesвЂќ of their office. WisconsinвЂ™s handbook for Local Elected Officials states, вЂњControlling conflicting interestsвЂќ A local public official may not take official action substantially affecting a matter in which the official, the officials family, or associated organization has a substantial financial interest. A local public official may not use office or position to produce a substantial benefit for an official, immediate family member, or associated organization. It also defines Conflict of Interest as: вЂњA situation in which an individual has competing interests or loyaltiesвЂќ It further goes on to state that when an elected official has a conflict of interest in a matter before the organization, that Official should вЂњRecuseвЂќ themselves from the discussion and voting in that issue. вЂњRecuseвЂќ is also defined as вЂњleaving the meeting room, so the remaining directors can freely discuss and vote on the issue.вЂќ If the Official, with a conflict of interest, refuses to leave the meeting, вЂњthe Board can ask the member to leave. If S/he refuses to leave, the board might consider a vote of Censure against the official for their refusal to recuse him/herself. How does all this affect WORVPI and our County Board? Well, we have two Elected members of our County Board, that also sit on the {elected} Board of WORVPI, they are Melinda Otto, and Bucky Dailey. WORVPI, describes itself as a вЂњPrivate OrganizationвЂќ and claims non profit 501c status, even though after two and a half years of operation, they still do not legally have this status. WORVPI, is trying to get Forest County {using tax dollars} to purchase a block of private timber land, so that WORVPI can create the вЂњLambeau FieldвЂќ of Off Road Parks. They have requested that the County go Millions of Dollars in debt to purchase and develop this park. Both of the above named individuals have signed confidentiality agreements with WORVPI, basically stating that they will protect the confidentially and interests of WORVPI over the interests of those that elected them to public office. I canвЂ™t personally think of any more of a вЂњConflict of InterestвЂќ than that. I have watched both of these individuals passionately speak to their peers on the County Board about the County Purchasing land for вЂњtheirвЂќ Off Road Park. I have watched these same two individuals vote on providing County Tax dollars to WORVPI. I have directly confronted Melinda Otto in open session of the County Board Executive committee, over what I believe to be her вЂњConflict of InterestвЂќ in this matter. She was advised by others at that meeting that the County had requested an legal opinion on the issue of вЂњrecusalвЂќ and had been advised that вЂњrecusalвЂќ would be applicable for her in this issue. She refused to Recuse herself. If the County Board wishes to do the right thing, I believe that Melinda Otto and Bucky Dailey, as members of WORVPIвЂ™s Board, should be вЂњCensuredвЂќ against any further County Board discussion or Voting on this issue. There are also guidelines given on the Wisconsin Government Accountability Boards website, on how to file a complaint with their board. Any citizen, may file a complaint if they believe that rules or laws have been broken. An investigation is then done by the State, into the issue. Time to end the nonsense, and secrecy over this issue. By the way, there is a petition circulating around the Laona area, asking that a public referendum be held over the issue of a County owned Off Road Vehicle Park. It also includes the вЂњsecretвЂќ map showing the boundaries of the now 2,200 acre proposed park, with its headquarters and campground based on ConsolidatedвЂ™s former вЂњSpur 250" landing on Hwy G right next to D.J.вЂ™s Salvage, in case your interested in the actual boundaries of the land that the County is trying to buy for $1,200.00 an acre. IвЂ™ve signed the petition, I hope you take the time to seek it out and sign it also. I stated, now about 9 months ago, that I felt it wrong for County Tax Dollars to be used for WORVPIвЂ™s private playground. I still feel the same way. With another head nod to all those that have offered support. Jim Odekirk Cavour Wi.

Hours: Mon. - Fri. 9-5; Sat. 9-2 After hours by appointment LHS Trap Shooting Club Laona High School has established a youth trap shooting team; the Laona Bird Busters (LHS Trap Shooting Club). Laona joins several other Northern Wisconsin schools that have organized teams through the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) and the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP). The introduction of shooting sports to the students provides the opportunity to learn the safe and responsible practice of competitive shooting. They compete in the North Central Wisconsin Conference along with nine other schools. Teams shoot weekly at their home trap field and enter scores online (virtual shoot) on the SSSF website. They also have the opportunity to travel to another schoolвЂ™s facility and shoot head to head. Our team members are doing very well in the nine week conference. If anyone is interested in donating to the LHS Trap Shooting Club, stop by any Laona State Bank location.

Kruger said, after taking a university course over the summer on technology in schools, she looked for options to supplement the use of existing technology in her rural school district. She started researching the use of student response systems (sometimes referred to as "clickers") and their potential impact on teaching and learning. вЂњIt seemed as though this would be a perfect addition to all of the work that our staff are doing regarding learning targets and SLOs as well as other initiatives to take both teaching and learning to the next level,вЂќ Kruger said. вЂњOur science teacher, Steve Kircher, had experience with using an SRS system at a previous school and was interested in implementing its use at our school and being the lead in helping other staff learn how to use the system to improve their teaching to in turn improve student learning.вЂќ вЂњThe NEA grant was the perfect fit for what we were looking to be able to do,вЂќ she said. Kruger and Kircher are among 47 educators across 23 states to receive awards in the latest cycle. Nationally, the NEA Foundation awarded a total of $155,000 to support educatorsвЂ™ efforts to improve teaching and learning. Over the past decade, the NEA Foundation has invested more than $7.1 million in grants to support the work of almost 4,500 educators from every state in the country to help students succeed. To learn about these educatorsвЂ™ projects, visit the NEA FoundationвЂ™s Grantee Archive. Search for grantees and projects by most recent, grade level, subject, state, or keyword. The NEA Foundation awards its grants to educators three times a year. The next grant deadline is June 1, 2014. Application forms and a video with step-by-step instructions on how to apply can be found in the Grants to Educators section of the NEA Foundation website. Sex offender released to the Carter area Forest County Sheriff John Dennee wants the community to know that a registered sex offender will be released from prison and will be making his residence in the Carter area. Douglas Gerdeen will be released from custody May 14th by the Wisconsin Dept. of Corrections. Gerdeen had been convicted in Oconto County in 2006 of 3rd Degree Sexual Assault and was revoked and admitted to prison in 2010. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather, it is believed that an informed community is a safer community. Sex offenders have always lived in our communities; but it was not until the Sex Offender Registry and Community Notification Law was enacted, that Law Enforcement was able to share this information with the community. Upon release, Gerdeen will be subject to the Wisconsin Department of Corrections Global Positioning System (GPS). He is also required to register with the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry Program for life.
