At the November 8, 2022 Common Council meeting, a motion was passed that will affect all City of Phillips residents.
In the past, city residents would buy a sticker and put the sticker on their garbage bag. Even though garbage pick-up was facilitated by the city, the cost of the sticker covered the cost of the garbage pick-up, and there was no garbage cost to the city. Once a sticker was on the bag and the recycle bin was set out on the curb, the garbage service would then pick up their garbage and recyclables one day per week.
Starting sometime possibly in December or January, (as the city doesn't have a set date yet), things will change. The city will still contract with the garbage service to pick up recyclables placed in bins as the city has a grant for this service. These pick-ups may be weekly or every other week; the schedule has yet to be determined.
However, garbage bags will no longer be picked up at the curb with a sticker. Instead, residents will need to contract with a garbage service to get their garbage collected on a regular basis. The city will no longer facilitate this. Mostly likely, yard carts or dumpsters will have to be put out by each resident.
The City of Phillips made this motion at the Common Council meeting on November 8, 2022. It was passed unanimously. Mayor Charles Peterson said some residents would prefer to have the charge placed on their water bill, for example. However, the garbage pick-up service did not like this option because if a city resident did not pay their water bill, they would have been picking up garbage for free for three months and never get paid, according to the deputy clerk-treasurer, Autumn Gedde, who was asked about this days after the meeting. Therefore, putting the garbage bill on the water bill was not an option.
The city plans to give more information to residents in the near future once the contract details get straightened out.

After a six-month investigation, members of the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office, the Northcentral Drug Enforcement Group (NORDEG), the Rhinelander Police Department, and the Wisconsin Department of Justice-Division of Criminal Investigations arrested David Lassiter, 39; Kimberly Baenen, 36; Ryan Culver, 37; and Jacob Simon, 41, all from Rhinelander, for Conspiracy to Commit Manufacture/Deliver more than 50 Grams of Methamphetamine, and they appeared in court on November 10, 2022.
The investigation involves a drug conspiracy that has occurred over this time period involving methamphetamine delivery in the Northwoods area. These subjects are believed to have distributed approximately 10 pounds of methamphetamine. Records indicate that approximately $25,000 was sent to Mexico to the Mexican cartel for the purchase of methamphetamine. A stolen firearm was also recovered during this investigation. Quantities of methamphetamine seized during the course of this investigation have also tested positive for fentanyl.
The NORDEG is currently looking for Benjamin Somers, 35, in connection with this case. Anyone with information about Somers' location should contact the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office at 715-361-5100.
On Thursday, November 10, 2022 at 5:05 p.m. in the Community Room of the Phillips Public Library, a special board meeting will be held. This board meeting was called by Becky Steinbach, library board vice-president, on October 28th, the day after the last board meeting, which covered challenged books and staff pay increases.
The agenda is as follows:
1. Call to order
2. Establish a quorum
3. Certification of compliance with Open Meeting Law
4. Discussion/Action on Public Comment Policy and Procedure
5. Discussion/action on a statement from the Board in response to social media post regarding the Library Director
6. Discussion/action on Board Member conduct, responsibilities, and removal
Members of the community reached out to My Price County regarding Items 4 through 6. To get answers from the person who called the meeting, we sent Becky Steinbach the follow questions.
1. What social media post is the agenda referring to?
2. Why are conduct, responsibilities, and removal of board members on the agenda?
3. Aside from the fact that it is not required by law, why is public comment not being allowed?
Becky responded with, "Individual board members do not act alone to make decisions on library matters. This meeting will allow us to discuss recent reactions to library board decisions in an open and unbiased forum."
My Price County asked if she could specifically reply to the questions, but Becky stated this was the only response she wanted to provide before the meeting, stating, "I firmly believe these matters need to be discussed with the full board in a public meeting setting."

Some members of the community are speculating on which social media post is on the agenda given one post from a community member got a lot of attention the day after the last regular board meeting. The post primarily addressed the pay increase of the library director and the cut in the budget to the books. We will update this story after the meeting once the social media post is confirmed.
Since members of the public also had questions about the bylaws and how people are hired or removed from the board, we asked Becky Steinbach and Becky Puhl, the library director, along with all other board members, if they could provide us with a copy of the bylaws. Becky Steinbach replied that the bylaws are in a paper copy housed at the library and Becky Puhl is in the process of getting them together and scanning them in. Jenny Markle, another board member, stated the library director said she is in the process of looking for the records in her office.
The public can attend this meeting in person or via Zoom. However, public comment will not be allowed. The Zoom meeting link is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84734249750?pw...V2bXA5UT09 Meeting ID: 847 3424 9750 Passcode: 299759

On November 6, 2022 at 8:49 p.m., the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call reporting a vehicle had struck a utility pole, and the driver appeared to be deceased. The location was reported to be on County Road-C, just north of Bonde Avenue in the Town of Rib Lake in Taylor County. Taylor County Sheriff’s deputies, along with Rib Lake Fire, Ambulance and MedVac, were dispatched.
Upon arrival on scene, deputies determined that the driver of the vehicle, 32-year old Daniel R. Resch of Ogema Wisconsin, was deceased.
The investigation into the cause of the vehicle crash indicated that Resch was traveling northbound on CTH-C at a high rate of speed. Resch lost control of the vehicle causing it to overturn several times where it eventually came to rest after striking the utility pole.
Alcohol and speed were both contributing factors in the crash.
Reports received by the police departments in Price County for the month have been condensed and summarized.

On November 4, 2021, the clock tower went up in Phillips. One year later, its pocket park is nearing completion.
Gary Gabrielsen did the prep work for the concrete on October 4, 2022, with rebar provided by Phillips Lumber & Hardware, and he poured the concrete the next day. Gary volunteered all his time, and Northern Lakes Concrete donated the cement for the project. Jim Heizler, from the City of Phillips Department of Public Works, assisted with the removal of the asphalt pieces, delivery of the sand, and backhoe work.
On November 3, 2022, Dennis Onchuck and Mic Peterson installed the black metal railing with assistance from Gary Hall, donating all their time. Dennis also donated the concrete anchor bolts, and Mike Johnson donated the use of his hammer drill. This railing serves as a visual barrier and decorative purpose to offset the pocket park from the parking lot. The railing had to be placed in from the sidewalk a bit so that the City of Phillips will be able to get their snow removal and sweeper equipment on the sidewalks where needed.
Arriving on November 4, 2022 was the plaque, which was installed in the pole. The plaque gives a history of the clock and recognizes larger contributors to the restoration project. Brian Hopperdietzel at Marshfield Monument, located in Marshfield, Wisconsin, was hired to create this plaque. However, he chose to donate a plaque to the project. He also delivered and installed the plaque. "After reading through the history of the clock and what the three ladies accomplished to bring it back to Phillips, I thought this is the least I can do for the project," Brian said. "Far too often society finds it easier to discard pieces of history instead of restoring and keeping them alive through awareness."
The three ladies, Davette Hrabak, Judy Hayton, and Lynne Bohn, want to thank everyone who was involved in the project. "Most people who worked on the clock felt a connection to it, and we truly appreciate everyone's donations of time, money, supplies, and any and all assistance, whether large or small. We needed all these people to bring the clock back to life," the ladies shared.
Since it is rather late in the year, benches will be placed in the pocket park next year, sometime in mid to late Spring 2023.
For those who missed the clock article from one year ago, which highlights the history and restoration of the clock, it can be read at this link.

Ballot spoiling, an action unknown to many Wisconsin voters, has gotten some attention in recent weeks.
The action of spoiling one's ballot occurs in a few ways. One way that is getting attention in the courts is when a voter casts an absentee ballot and then wants to change how they voted. This may occur if the voter realizes they accidentally voted for two people in a race, learns positive or negative information about a candidate, or simply didn't know a write-in candidate was running for office, as examples. The voter would then contact their municipal clerk and request that their ballot be spoiled. The clerk invalidates the original ballot and issues a new ballot to the voter, which they can cast. This information can be found in Wis. Stat. § 6.86(5).
Spoiling one's ballot has come under scrutiny in recent weeks. A group called Restoring Trust and Integrity in Elections are against the practice of ballot spoiling. They feel the action violates Wisconsin law and increases fraud opportunities. Judge Brad Schimel understood their concerns and granted a temporary injunction that would halt ballot spoiling. However, the Democratic National Committee intervened, wanting the process to continue. They were granted a stay that put Judge Schimel's injunction on hold until the appeals court decides if it will rule on the case. For the time being, ballot spoiling is legal in Wisconsin, so if you already sent in your ballot and want to make a change, there is still time to do so by contacting your municipal clerk where you vote.
According to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, "The deadline for voters to spoil ballots requested by mail is 5 p.m. the Thursday before the election," [which is November 3, 2022], "or in person by the last day where in-person absentee voting hours are offered in each municipality. Voters can find their municipal clerk’s contact information at https://MyVote.wi.gov."
