Weekly Blast: The Board held its monthly meeting Wednesday. It was filled with requests for road maintenance including replacement of a culvert on Timm Ave (100th – termini), another quad of cold pack (thanks to Leo Kruger and Garry Saeger who have been joint/crack sealing and patching like mad), paving over the culvert replacement on 90th just south of CTH WW, and for ~30 loads of crushed red granite for 100th (north of Elm). Formal steps to discontinue a section of Griffith east of 110th and west of County Road F was approved by Resolution. Now all abutting landowners will be informed and a public hearing on the matter will occur on Wednesday December 9th at 6:30pm. Speaking of public hearings, our next one will be on Wednesday October 21st at 6:00pm. This is to consider an additional request from the Portage County Planning and Zoning Dept. regarding a Table 9.1 in our Comprehensive Plan. Following, the Plan Commission will consider a Resolution and the Town Board an Ordinance during a joint meeting immediately following. If these two formal documents are approved, we will move to a Public Hearing held by the Portage County Planning & Zoning Committee on Tuesday October 27th at 5:00pm in Stevens Point. Some residents in the Mertz subdivision (Spruce Lane and 82nd Street) will receive letters this month regarding upcoming brushing of low-hanging branches. Two tax inserts 1) dog license application and 2) recycling brochure were readied for distribution. Tax season is “just around the corner”! Expect a freeze and then a warm-up. Cheers, Sharon

Weekly Blast!

Sometime between my last Weekly Blast and this past Monday someone (likely several) stole the large wooden panel (pic) from the Buena Vista Wildlife Area historical kiosk located just east of the junction of County Roads F and W. This beautiful panel (and the other with the prairie scene on the opposite side) were recently restored by students at UW-Stevens Point with funds donated to the family in memory of Greg Dahl, WDNR Wildlife Supervisor. This theft has been devastating to the family and the talented young students who spent months restoring this beautiful mural depicting one of the most unique wildlife species in the State of Wisconsin. Please, if you know anything, contact Lesa Kardash, WDNR Wildlife Biologist at 715-340-5034 (mobile) or Portage County Conservation Warden Jeff Nieling at 715-570-4388. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Sharon
