Air Quality Alert: Wildfire smoke from fires in southern Ontario, Canada and northeast Minnesota has moved into Wisconsin, creating unhealthy air quality conditions. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air Quality Advisory through noon on Thursday. Air quality is expected to reach the Unhealthy to Very Unhealthy level, with the potential to reach the Hazardous Air Quality Index level. The advisory will be re-evaluated Thursday morning and may be extended based on conditions. According to the Department of Health Services, wildfire smoke can affect anyone, but people who may notice symptoms sooner include older adults, young children, people who are pregnant, outdoor workers, and individuals with heart or lung conditions such as asthma or COPD.

Weekly News Blast

The Kellner Corn Fest parade begins tomorrow (8/16) at 11:00 am. Please join in the fun! The Town will be represented by Treasurer Greg Hakala and Clerk Stefanie Schlapa riding in our patrol truck and employee Steve Dobeck operating our grader. I think Uncle Sam might be visible in one of the vehicles…

At our monthly board meeting on Wednesday Clerk Schlapa reported that town taxpayers have paid $67,142.36 in attorney fees due to the lawsuits filed by former Supervisor Heather Grys-Luecht. The Town Board had hoped to spend nearly $100,000 in highway maintenance this season (crack-sealing, asphalt patching, culvert cleaning, road base material, etc). Unfortunately, these suits have taken away nearly 2/3rds of our budget so as Supervisor Provost said at the meeting, “we are trying to do more with less”. I just wish we could do more with more. But for the 2025 construction season that will not be possible. We apologize for any inconvenience but when someone sues the Town, we all pay.  

Have fun this weekend, Sharon
