SHERIFF'S OFFICE Haven says hi! The Clark County Sheriff’s Office current program utilizes K9s and found them to be an invaluable resource in crime control and prevention in our county and neighboring jurisdictions. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office K9 program is based in Clark County and primarily serves the citizens of Clark County. In the past, our agency has helped local organizations by providing demonstrations for many volunteer and community-based programs. While the K9 unit itself does not directly use many volunteers, as stated above, we do serve many volunteer organizations. The Sheriff’s Office K9 units work within the county and the surrounding area to provide the best and most efficient response to K9 needs and requests. After the initial funding is received for the K9, the Sheriff’s Office relies on ongoing budgeting and fundraising to keep the K9 unit running. By budgeting and fundraising, there is a minimal amount of tax money needed. By nature, the K9 units and their handlers are an invaluable part of patrol, and having them has paid off in the safe resolution of many incidences through the years. An example of an important role is the detection of illegal drugs in Clark County. Many times, when a suspect is found with controlled substances, it sometimes starts a process in which they are held accountable for their actions. Some people use this interaction as a “wake up” call and begin to make positive changes in their lives. Of course, this is not always the case, but it does happen, and we have seen people in the past get a clean start and help others in similar situations. Clark County is not immune from the illegal drug epidemic and all the crime associated with illegal drug use and sales. By using the K9s to help reduce the negative impact, illegal drugs have on our citizens as a whole we have found in the last 8 years of having a K9 unit that our citizens realize there is an issue with illegal drugs in our county. When that happens you will often see the Citizens come together for the greater good. We also see this in the search and rescue aspect of the K9 program. When our K9s are used to assist other agencies in the location of missing people, a lost hunter, or a missing child that wandered off, this provides a great opportunity for everyone to work together for the greater good. K 9 FUND The need for K9s is undeniably in the best interest of the citizens of Clark County. These K9s have had a positive impact on our citizens and will continue to do so for years to come. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office can continue its fight against illegal drug use/sales and reduce drug-related crimes/activities in our county. With the knowledge that K9’s are active in Clark County, many people involved in the drug trade simply avoid the area. With an active K9 and K9 handler, we can remove a substantial amount of illegal narcotics off the streets and continue to make a presence in public and our school system. Taking illegal narcotics off the street is a benefit for everyone. It creates a better quality of life and a safer environment for our children to grow. When we locate a missing person or a lost child, it cannot help but make the citizens feel better knowing that the resource your foundation provided for the citizens of Clark County, is there should they or their family ever need to utilize it. Our K9’s primary service is to the Citizens of Clark County. We also will respond when our neighboring counties need help. We have used our K9s in surrounding counties and in many different capacities. We use them in the cities, towns, and villages within Clark County and surrounding counties. The Clark County Sheriff's Office K9 unit has been in existence since approximately 2011. This was the time we introduced Clark County’s first dual-purpose patrol K9. In the years that followed two more dual-purpose K9s were brought on board. We have been successfully managing the program to date and hope to continue on. We have leadership that supports the K9 units and great support within the Sheriff’s Office. We will continue managing the program in the most efficient and effective manner possible. The K9 unit is monitored internally within the Sheriff’s Office by Supervisory staff. This is the way we have been conducting business and our success rate will continue as we are now. It is a specialized unit and we have staff in place with knowledge in this area who help make it run as effectively as possible. We are requesting these funds for a one-time purchase of a K9 and the equipment needed to implement a new K9. The ongoing expenses will be covered by money budgeted for health care and feeding of the K9s. Some of this is covered during ongoing fundraising efforts and donations as the unit works. The Clark County Sheriff's Office has a new Comfort K9 that was donated to us from Blueberry Cottage Labradoodles, Osseo, WI. Haven is currently in training and one of the most lovable members of our staff. She has already contributed in her own way to the wellness of our staff by helping reduce stress. Once trained, we hope to work with her in the field with domestic violence victims or other situations where there is trauma or stress, especially in children. The program is new. In the future, we hope to introduce Haven to schools, nursing homes, picnics, and other events to build relationships. Help Us Purchase a K9 We are requesting these funds for a one-time purchase of a K9 and the equipment needed to implement a new K9. The ongoing expenses will be covered by money budgeted for health care and feeding of the K9s. Some of this is covered during ongoing fundraising efforts and donations as the unit works.

- PH: Beach Testing | Clark County WI
Beach Testing The Health Department kicks off summer by beginning their beach monitoring program. They monitor local beaches for bacteria and harmful algae blooms throughout the summer, starting Memorial Day weekend, and ending Labor Day weekend. Beaches include, Mead Lake, Rock Dam, Lake Arbutus, and Sherwood Lake. Blue-Green Algae There are many species of blue-green algae found in Wisconsin lakes and rivers, but only certain species can produce the algal toxins that cause illness. Not all algal blooms produce toxin; a blue-green algae bloom may not be producing toxins or producing enough toxin to cause a health concern. Larger algal blooms have the potential for higher concentrations of toxin. Unfortunately, there is no immediate way to know if an algal bloom is dangerous or not. It takes at least several days for a laboratory to analyze a water sample to see if toxins are present. During that time, a harmless algal bloom may become more toxic, a toxic algal bloom may become harmless, or the bloom could blow away or dissipate all together. For more information, click here ! 2024 Beach Test Results Beach Testing for 2024 has been completed! August 26th, 2024 August 12th, 2024 July 27, 2024 July 1st, 2024 June 17th, 2024 June 3rd, 2024 May 23, 2024 Tips to Enjoy Your Days at the Beach Regardless of which beach you're visiting, some common sense precautions can help you maximize your fun. The following tips will help you stay safe on the water, avoid getting sun burned and avoid getting sick if there are elevated bacteria levels in the water. Never swim alone. Stay in designated swimming areas. Drink plenty of fluids. Wear sunglasses that absorb at le ast 90 percent of UV sunlight. Wear sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and a wide-brimmed hat. Spend part of your day in shaded areas. Wash your hands before eating. Shower after swimming. Don't swallow the water. Avoid swimming after heavy rain. Don't swim near storm drains. Help Keep the Beaches Clean Citizens in many communities are already playing a role in helping keep their beaches open and clean for swimmers now and in the future. Here are some steps you can take on your own to help protect your favorite beach. Dispose of litter in appropriate beachside containers – especially cigarette butts, diapers and pet waste. Please DO NOT feed gulls and waterfowl. It only encourages the birds to hang out at the beach too, which increases the risk of fecal matter at the beach. Don't enter the water if you are ill. Change diapers and put plastic/rubber pants on diapered children before allowing them in the water. Do not dump anything down storm drains. Encourage and participate in such community activities as painting "Do Not Dump" signs near storm drains. Avoid using fertilizers and pesticides on your yard. To report a public health emergency or communicable disease after hours, please contact Clark County Dispatch at (715) 743-3157. Our office is closed on significant holidays & days of recognition.

- LC: Engineering | Clark County WI
Engineering Conservation Engineering and Cost-Share Programs The Clark County Land Conservation Department (LCD) employs one Conservation Engineer who provides planning, designing, and construction oversight for landowners undertaking conservation projects with county cost-share assistance. Cost-share assistance is offered for projects that address a problem with soil or water resources in our county such as: Grassed waterways - to prevent erosion from rainwater runoff Waste storage closure - to protect groundwater from contamination from old waste storages Well decommissioning - to close old wells to protect possible contamination to groundwater Wetland development or restoration - to increase the healthy wetlands in the county, which slow runoff, filter soil sediment from surface water, protect infrastructure, etc. Waste storage - for farms with limited access to land during wet/frozen times of the year Barnyard runoff control - to prevent manure runoff into streams and wetlands Livestock fencing, trails, and watering facilities - for grazing systems See the entire list and read about the process for completing projects with cost-share funds. Waste Storage Facilities The Conservation Engineer reviews all Animal Manure Management Ordinance (MSMO) permit application construction plans to ensure they comply with standards, specifications, and the ordinance. See link to the AMMO booklet. Usually the landowner must hire a private engineer to plan, design, and inspect a waste storage facility project. In order to verify that construction is being completed to the requirements noted by the private engineer, the conservation engineer does random site visits during the construction of manure storages. Closing Old Waste Storage Facilities The LCD Conservation Engineer will provide planning, designing, permit application, and construction oversight for closing old waste storage facilities. Cost-share is available for these projects. Please call our office to discuss your conservation needs at (715) 743-5102.
