WHAT HAPPENED

• Governor Scott Walker has approved $5.9 million to install approximately 3,200 I-41 interstate shield signs along 180 miles of roadway. Installation began Monday, June 1, and is expected to be completed by mid-November. Highway Landscapers of Little Chute is the prime contractor. Traffic impacts will include some lane and shoulder closures, but not during peak or holiday travel times.

• The Department of Natural Resources is seeking the public’s help with a case involving the illegal fatal shooting of an American Bald Eagle in St. Croix County. On March 17, Conservation Warden Isaac Kruse of St. Croix County was alerted by a citizen of the discovery of a dead eagle about 60 yards off the road in the Town of Forest. The male bird was found atop a pile of brush in a pool of blood. The Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Madison confirmed the eagle was killed by a bullet. The bald eagle is managed in the state as a protected wild animal and also as a federally protected bird under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Shooting, pursuing, disturbing or any type of harming or agitating of an eagle is illegal. If you have any information related to this crime, call Warden Kruse at 715.531.7667, or call or text the DNR Hotline 800.847.9367. Hotline callers/texters may remain anonymous.

COMING UP

• Volunteers are still needed to help build the new Baylake Bank Playground at Peterson Park next to the Sturgeon Bay YMCA. No special construction skills are required to take part in this community event. A kick-off ceremony will be held June 6 at 8 am, after which the work will begin to build a playground in one day. Final construction phase is expected to begin about 1 pm, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony is tentatively scheduled for 2:30 pm. Primary funding for the playground has been provided through a gift from Baylake Bank.

• All residents, business owners or operators, and owners of property in the Village of Sister Bay and the Town of Liberty Grove are encouraged to participate in a Shredding/Appliance Recycling Day on Saturday, June 20, 2015. There will be no charge to have documents securely shredded or to recycle most computer components and small household appliances, but fees of up to $15 could be charged to recycle refrigerators, computer monitors and microwaves, or any other items that have a compressor or a screen. All shredded materials and appliances will be recycled. Any documents to be shredded as well as any appliances or computer components to be recycled should be brought to the parking lot at the Liberty Grove Town Hall, 11161 Old Stage Road, between 9 am and 1 pm on June 20. Stereos, old copiers, fax machines and even broken or no longer used cell phones are also recyclable. It’s always best to try to recycle electronics so that they do not sit in a landfill or cause any other environmental problems.
