Shawano County supervisors approved a new ordinance governing the operation of ATVs and UTVs on county roads but not before being admonished by one of their former members.

“It just amazes me that Shawano County can’t play by the rules,” former Supervisor Peter Schmidt told the board Aug. 27.

He said minutes from committee meetings consistently noted safety issues with the vehicles on county roads.

Former Shawano County dispatcher Deanna Prey was recognized for her service to the county at the Aug. 27 meeting of the county board.

A resolution, approved Aug. 6 by the Shawano Public Safety Committee, thanked Prey for her 26 years of employment with the county.

“She was a huge asset to Shawano County,” Sheriff George Lenzner told supervisors. “A lot of the newer dispatchers really looked up to her.”

The number of measles cases in Oconto County has reached 23 as of Aug. 29, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and Oconto County Public Health. There have been two hospitalizations reported. All of the reported cases are confirmed cases.
