Heller Road will be closed between the Menomonie Country Club driveway and Wilson Creek from September 18 to October 6. The City will be improving this section of Heller Road by removing several overhanging trees, deepening ditches, removing the existing pavement, adding gravel to the road bed, repaving the roadway, restoring disturbed areas and repainting the roadway.
The City has placed "Road Closed Ahead" signs at USH 12 and (with permission from the Town of Menomonie) at 390th Street. "Road Closed" signs will be placed at each end of the road closure. The roadway will be reopened after working hours when it is safe to do so but drivers should plan to take alternate routes until the project is complete. Access to Menomonie Country Club will be maintained throughout the project.
Please contact David Schofield, Director of Public Works at 715.232.2221 ext. 1020 with any questions.

SC Decision Striking Down Gun Control Is Fine with This Progressive
Update: Candidates React to Supreme Court’s Gun Ruling
via mal contends - The Supreme Court reinterpreted the Second Amendment in its landmark decision, District of Columbia v. Heller (07-290), and found a right to own and carry a handgun. That's okay with me. I like the result.
Quote from ScotusBlog:
I think DC v. Heller is a partisan opinion by a corrupt and partisan Supreme Court (consonant with Republican electoral strategy to ward off Democratic gains in the west), but a citizen cannot have too many rights.Examining the words of the (Second) Amendment, the Court concluded 'we find they guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation' — in other words, for self-defense. 'The inherent right of self-defense has been central to the Second Amendment right,' it added.
Hey, we may have to remove this government, in theory, by force sometime in the future.
As for politics, I have met women who keep guns in their homes and on their person for the sake of feeling safe. What man would presume to tell a woman that she cannot feel safe?
It's time for Democrats to realize that the libertarian urge to carry a gun is not all that different from the liberty interest that is vested in the right to privacy, and in the enumerated liberties in the Bill of Rights that progressives cherish and Republicans despise.
I personally do not like guns, so I don't own them.
But the liberty interest in owning a gun is valid, even if the rightwing jurists made up their interpretation of the Second Amendment out of whole cloth and political electoral concerns.
Let's hope Obama realizes this and realizes that not everybody who owns a gun is a nut. Some people, rational people, just like guns.
Some like guns for safety, some like guns just for fun. And as Scalia and the disingenuous members of the five-four majority know, a lot of these gun-liking folks live in swing states in 2008.
WISGOP Party Secession Talk No Surprise Considering Walker's Anti-USA Rhetoric
Remember last spring when Walker was explaining to us that the Fourth of July is really an anti-US government holiday?
It should be no surprise that a year later we find ourselves with a Wisconsin Republican Party that is on the verge of advocating Wisconsin leaving the United States.
Love it or leave it, WISGOP!
