Sanimax slaps village with lawsuit notice
Company wants $900K in damages for expenses and tarnished reputation By Jake Kurtz Editor A host of village representatives have been served with a notice from Sanimax alleging that the company is entitled to $900,000 in damages it has incurred while attempting to address odor complaints at its Bassett Street facility. Among those named in the notice — which is a precursor for a formal lawsuit — are all seven village trustees, Village
SEATBELT STING
Deputies issue 101 citations DOT grant funds two local checkpoints Dane County deputies issued more than 100 citations last Friday as part of a seatbelt sting conducted in the towns of Windsor and Burke. The four-hour effort was made possible with a $10,000 grant from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to conduct seatbelt enforcement, a sheriff's department spokesperson said. The checkpoints were at the intersection of U.S. Highway 51 and CTH V in Burke and state Hwy. 19 and Lake Road in Windsor. A total of 101 citations were issued with 74 of those for drivers not wearing a seatbelt. According to the DOT, Wisconsin lags behind the national average for seatbelt usage, which is 86 percent. Increasing usage by 10 percent, DOT said, saves 44 lives annually.
Administrator Steve Fahlgren, Village Clerk LuAnn Leggett, and public relations staffer Jane Cahill Wolfgram. Sanimax attorney Theresa Nickels authored the notice. Sanimax claims that since November 2013 it has been wrongfully persecuted by DeForest officials despite “extensive” and “immediate steps” reportedly taken to resolve the odor issues. Among the work cited by Sanimax is providing the village with an odor abatement plan, hiring outside consultants, investing “hundreds of hours” worth of employee time and resources, and “numerous capital improvements, equipment upgrades, and odor testing at significant cost.”

A copy of the notice first served on Aug. 13 to a list of DeForest officials. "Sanimax immediately began working with the Village in a collaborative manner to address the concerns raised by a small number of DeForest residents,” Nickels writes. “Indeed, Sanimax has at all times operated in a manner that is reasonable and causes no substantial interference with the comfort, enjoyment of life, health or safety of any person.”

School and business leaders gather to gauge job market Goal is to prep DeForest students for needed careers By Lauren Anderson Associate Editor School district staff and area business leaders gathered this week to consider strategies for preparing students for future careers in light of a changing economy and labor market trends. Economist Dennis Winters of the Wisconsin
Department of Workforce Development presented information regarding the labor market and future workforce needs at a seminar hosted by the school district and DeForest Area Chamber of Commerce’s education committee. Winters highlighted two trends – an “unprecedented” declining workforce and the increased need for educated workers in today’s economy. Winters pointed to figures indicating that workforce skill requirements have shifted over the past 50 years from the majority being

Jack Barr of Bristol shows off a receiver that can provide closed caption emergency response messages for deaf individuals and print braille messages for the blind.
By Jake Kurtz Editor Jack Barr was born deaf and understands the unique set of challenges and situations the disability presents, but he's on a mission to make life easier — and safer — for those cut from the same cloth. With the help of local interpreter Renee Strand, Barr appeared before the Bristol town board last week to seek support for a warning system designed to aid the deaf and blind, as well as those without any disabilities. The Bristol resident was president of his class in 1968 at the Wisconsin School for the Deaf and has taught American Sign Language (ASL) for years. Barr has run his own telecommunication equipment business through the years that caters to those with disabilities similar to his. In recent years, Barr has collaborated with a group that includes a former NASA official to develop PageAlert. The system works with county 911 centers and satellite signals to relay important weather and/or disaster warnings to a specialized receiver capable of putting the information into closed-caption form and alerting a deaf person via vibrations. PageAlert, Barr said, is completely automated, thoroughly tested, and
capable of printing strips of paper with Braille so blind individuals can receive important updates. “When I was the father of three young kids, I had to depend upon the radio and have my children interpret what was going on for me,” Barr said. “They would have to interpret a crisis to me because I didn't know what was going on.” Like a standard weather radio, PageAlert is operable in the event of a power outage. The receivers, he said, are usually wall-mounted and cost less than $200. They also have an accompanying pager and notify an individual with vibrations. “There are so many advantages and things this device can do,” Barr explained. “It's not just for bad weather, it can be wired to a smoke alarm. With this device, the deaf folks can get that information.” Barr wants to generate support for the alert system from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but first he's trying to get locals on board. Barr said he has spoken with county officials both in Madison and Wausau and U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin's camp has been receptive to the concept. “I want to propose this to FEMA and I'm asking for your support,” Barr said. “This is important for the deaf and blind folks in our community, as well as the

hearing and hard of hearing. “My hometown of Bristol and Sun Prairie, I want us to be a leader with this,” he added. “Any support you could give would be great.” Bristol supervisors were supportive of Barr's efforts as board Chair Jerry Derr thanked Barr for his presentation and said “It's helpful to know this is out there.” No formal action was taken by the board on Monday, but Derr said supervisors can approve a resolution of support for PageAlert and Barr's work at its September meeting. “I think this is something that would be of interest to the towns in general because we are in rural areas,” said Derr.

For Vasileios Stamatakos, olive oil isn’t just a family business. It’s his passion. “I am in the olive oil business not because I’m after great profit,” he said. “I could probably be doing another job and get paid a lot more than from the olive oil. But I believe that olive oil is one of the most important and amazing products out there.” It all began four generations ago when Stamatakos’s great-grandfather George launched the family’s first olive grove in the fertile ancient Greek town of Elos near Sparta. George planted 70 olive trees to provide enough olive oil for his family. Stamatakos’s grandfather then carried on and expanded the tradition by buying more plots of land to plant more olive trees. In the 1950s, the family began selling oil to neighboring families. Vasileios continued in the business, learning his grandfather’s methods of pruning and tending to the trees, which produce Koroneiki olives. Today, the family farm cultivates more than 12,000 olive trees in Elos. While Vasileios lives in McFarland, he travels every winter to Greece to press the olives, extract oil and ship the final product to Wisconsin, where he bottles it. When he moved to Wisconsin six years ago, Vasileios said he launched the business in the area after recognizing the
demand for high quality extra virgin olive oil. “We had some people over for dinner and they tried my olive oil,” he said. “And they said it was so good. So I thought, ‘Maybe if it’s so special for people here, I can start and use the land in Greece for a good thing.’” Whereas most grocery stores carry olive oil that combines oil from multiple countries into one bottle, all of Stamatakos’s olive oil comes from the same 15 square mile area. “It has a specific flavor and aroma,” he said. “The olive oil from that area has specific characteristics unique to that area.” Plus, he can ensure quality from start to finish. “I can tell you everything about the olive oil – when it was treated, how it was harvested, when it was pressed,” he said. “That makes it special.” At the market, his products include plain extra virgin olive oil and olive oil in basil, red pepper, lemon and orange varieties. And for anyone who stops by his stand, he’s more than happy to share some tips about cooking with those products. “I believe the olive oil from Greece is very special,” Vasileios said. “I put a lot of effort and time into making that obvious. I really appreciate the olive tree and the product that comes out of it and am happy to see when people see that too.”

ence. Mahoney's countywide support has continued to swell since he first garnered 66 percent of the vote in 2006. He was re-elected in 2010 with 71 percent support. “I am honored to earn the support of the citizens of Dane County,” said Mahoney, who has been with the sheriff's office since 1980 and faces no opponent in November. “Together, I look forward to continuing the progress that we've made over my first two terms.” The elimination of overcrowding at the county jail and efforts to curb drunk driving and domestic abuse were among the accomplishments touted by Mahoney following the win. Mahoney also said he is actively working to address racial disparity in the criminal justice system and the way in which inmates with mental illness are treated. “Many sheriffs would not have begun that discussion during an election, but I think we need to address those issues now and I look forward to having that conversation with our community,” Mahoney said.

DROUGHT From page 1 drought conditions to come if rainfall doesn’t ramp up. “Precipitation was badly needed, especially in the northeast where rainfall for the season and the year-todate remain below normal,” USDA reported. “The southwest corner of the state only received trace precipitation this week, causing a sharp drop in soil moistures there.” Soil moisture levels statewide were 45 percent short to very short as of Aug. 17 compared to 43 percent the week prior. In the south central region that includes Dane and Columbia County, top soil was reportedly 52 percent short — a 7 percent increase. “Very dry conditions are causing crops to go backwards,” a Richland County field reporter said. “The corn will likely have some level of pollination issues due to dry weather.” As of Sunday, USDA said 90 percent of corn was silking with 38 percent of the crop in dough stage or beyond. Overall corn condition was rated 67 percent good to excellent and 12 percent poor or worse. Nearly 100 percent of all corn crops are said to be silking across the state's three southern regions. “Dry conditions are starting to show effects as crops on light soil are severely stressed,” a Rock County reporter noted. “Corn has shut down and ears have dropped way before maturity. Yields will be impacted.” “Growers are calculating heat units needed to mature corn and soybean crops before average first frost dates,” said a Sheboygan County reporter. “As in a race, it will be down to the wire.” USDA said 94 percent of soybeans were blooming by last week's end — slightly
ahead of the five-year average — and 79 percent of plants were setting pods. Soybean were rated 68 percent as good or excellent and just 6 percent poor. “Soybeans especially are looking like they need precipitation,” said a Walworth County reporter. Roughly 90 percent of winter wheat has been harvested for grain, which is a 16 percent spike compared to the previous week. Ninety-five percent of oats are reportedly turning color with 55 percent harvested for grain. The second cutting of alfalfa is 97 percent complete with the third cutting 57 percent finished. USDA said fourth cutting has
commenced in some locations. Overall pasture condition was 46 percent in good to excellent condition, a decline of 9 percent from the previous week. WISCONSIN CORN PRODUCTION is forecast at 491 million bushels, according to the latest USDA report. Based on conditions as of Aug. 1, corn yields are expected to average 156 bushels per acre, an increase of 10 bushels per acre from last year. Corn planted acreage is estimated at 4.20 million acres and an estimated 3.15 million acres of that total will be harvested for grain — a 3 percent increase from 2013.
Soybean production is forecast at 76.5 million bushels, up 30 percent from the previous year. The Aug. 1 forecast yield for beans stands at 43 bushels per acre, which is up 5 bushels from 2013. Soybean planted acreage is estimated at 1.80 million acres with 1.78 million acres to be harvested. Winter wheat production is forecast at 17.2 million bushels, up 12 percent from the prior year. Yields are expected to average 66 bushels per acre. Oat production is forecast at 8.82 million bushels with the expected yield at 63 bushels per acre.

embers of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association and the League of Wisconsin Municipalities have announced a settlement which is expected to result in redaction-free law enforcement reports to media members who submit a waiver. The deal has some open records advocates up in arms along with stanch free-press advocates, but for the most part, we see it as a step in the right direction because it should result in more transparency at the local level.

When in doubt, officials should err on the side of openness. Still, it is troubling that any of this was needed after an Illinois appeals court ruling in recent years resulted in police departments withholding key information from members of the media and making crime reporting nearly impossible in many communities.

Spellbinding tales of Chase, Packer and Salk
I
was late in getting my column written this week due to our little house guest which we had for six days, a little 12-week old puppy by the name of Chase. Our son, Scott, and his family adopted the little terrierspaniel puppy from the Waukesha Humane Society just a few days before they took a five day trip to the upper peninsula of Michigan. It would have been a very hard trip for the puppy in a dog carrier. Scott asked if we would puppy-sit their little dog and of course we gladly took him under our wing. We had house broken two puppies of our own back when Molly and I were much younger. I also remember puppy-sitting Scott’s previous dog, Packer, about 29 years ago. I had forgotten how much care a young puppy requires. When Chase was awake we took him out nearly every halfhour to an hour. Some times he would promptly do his duty. At other times he felt more like playing with his leash, chasing leaves and chewing on sticks in the lawn so we would bring him in only to discover he had an accident a short time after he was brought in. Chase and our cat. Nutmeg, did not get along. Chase wanted
to play while the cat would sit on a chair and bat at the dog with her front paws. She is declawed so Chase just thought this was a game so he would start barking and batting back at the cat. It was a noisy house at times. When Chase was put in his kennel for the night he would sleep through morning except when the cat would wake up the sleeping puppy. One morning Molly had to go down and let Chase out at about 2 a.m. Of course when he came back in Chase wanted to run around the house so Molly gathered him up in her arms and rocked him back to sleep. Chase seemed like more work than our boys were when they were babies. And then there was the chewing issue. Like all puppies, Chase loved to chew. Often he would use one of his chew toys but once in a while he would try chewing on the furniture and once Molly heard a ruckus in the other room to find that he was playing with one of Molly’s favorite shoes. I plan to get some new shoe laces to replace the ones that he pretty much destroyed. Ah yes, Chase was a problem at times but then he would look at me with those big liquid chocolate drop eyes and I couldn’t help but love him.

IN READING ALL of the bad news concerning the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa, it brought to mind the polio virus that hit the U.S. back in the early 1950s. The outbreak hit its peak in 1952-53. In the years before, the disease affected 20,000 persons a year. In 1952 the number of new cases rose by 58,000 people and 35,000 new cases were reported in 1953. Jonas Salk
had discovered a vaccine for the disease in 1952 but the new drug was in the testing stage in the early 1950s. The announcement of the polio vaccine came in 1955 and the first mass inoculations were made in 1957. The disease was eradicated from the U.S. in 1979. When the outbreak was at its height, parents took measures to protect their families by avoiding large crowds. I remember

A green bean conversion
I
just finished my final shift at Forest Run Farm and I have just two words for you: green beans. I must admit that, until now, I have dismissed green beans as an inferior vegetable. They are the innocuous legume you throw next to the main course to add some color to your otherwise bland plate. The Thanksgiving side dish you consistently pass up to make more room for mashed potatoes – the less delicious cousin of asparagus.The thing you put in a casserole to deceive yourself into thinking the dish is healthy. Let’s not kid ourselves, Paula Deen – those poor beans can’t counteract the heaping portions of French-fried onion rings and pound of cheddar cheese your recipe calls for. But now I will never be able to look at the vegetable the same way again.
Before last Wednesday I hadn’t ever consciously envisioned what a bean plant looks like, so, somewhat to my disappointment, the latent image of a magic beanstalk embedded in my head from childhood was debunked when I approached a row of the real thing. At about two feet off ground, bean plants are shorter than the fairy tale might lead you to believe. But what they lack in height is compensated in width. These full bushes are a mess of vines and large draping leaves that obscure the beans hanging underneath, which makes picking them as challenging an endeavor as Jack’s climbing of the fictitious stalk. Our assignment was to pick a bucket full of them for the farm’s community supported agriculture (CSA) shares. It sounded like a relaxing activity until I realized it meant

foraging through an infinite abyss of green to find the thin beans camouflaged among the leaves and vines, both of which clearly Lauren had conspired Anderson to prevent me from finding their offspring – all while maintaining a fixed squatting position. Imagine searching for lost car keys in the dark while also doing a Jillian Michaels workout routine. It was frustrating and my legs won’t soon recover. And yet, despite the intense labor, this final assignment was my favorite. It perfectly epitomized my experience of working on a small organic CSA farm this summer. Here’s why: • It was hard work. If I take away nothing else from my time on the farm, it is that farming is not for the faint of heart. It requires strategic planning, careful maintenance, and laborious harvesting.
It means being flexible and reworking your plans because your main colleague, Weather, happens to be the most inflexible and unreliable of coworkers. It’s a profession that does not offer you a day off or allow for “Eh, I just don’t feel like it today” excuses. Rain or shine, you just work. (My favorite line of farmer John Schlitz’s during my shift was when I, expressing frustration as I sorted usable leaf lettuce from the unusable ones, complained, “This is not an easy task,” to which he, deadpan, replied, “It’s called farming.”) • It won me over to a vegetable I once overlooked. In fact, I had a full out green bean conversion. Here’s a piece of advice: If you aren’t a big fan of a particular vegetable, go work on a farm and observe how it’s planted, grown, harvested, washed and packaged. With a greater perspective of the labor that goes into green beans, my ambivalence toward them turned to fondness.

Walker, Burke campaign cash buying more than just ads It’s only just begun. The ads. The yard signs. The emails. The fundraising letters. The campaign events. The ads. Wisconsin’s race for governor promises to be another high-profile, high-spending affair. Republican Scott Walker and Democratic rival Mary Burke together raised $19 million between last October, when Burke entered the race, and July 28, the last reporting date cutoff. Walker’s fundraising advantage is more than two-to-one, $13.1 million to Burke’s $6 million. His latest filing shows him with $7.1 million cash on hand, compared to Burke’s $1.7 million. All this will be spent, and much more, given the three additional months of fundraising before the Nov. 4 election. This doesn’t include the many millions that will flow into the race from outside interest groups. What will all of that money buy? Good question. In the first seven months of this year, Walker spent $7 million to Burke’s $3.7 million. These outlays are itemized on the candidates’ reports to the state Government Accountability Board. Downloading this data and crunching the numbers yields some useful information. For instance, $3.7 million of Walker’s spending total, or 53 percent, went to individuals and companies in other states. Burke, meanwhile, spent $3 million in other states, or 81 percent of her total; just over half ended up in Washington, D.C. Burke’s largest expense
category, at 39 percent, was for television ads. All of this went to the D.C.-based GMMB, whose website boasts: “We take on the tough races — the ones the pundits say can’t be won.” Previous clients include Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Sens. Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer, and Nelson Mandela. Walker spent slightly more than Burke on TV ads — about $1.5 million to her $1.4 million. But because Walker spent more overall, it accounted for just 22 percent of his total. All of Walker’s TV ad dollars went to Nonbox Inc. of Hales Corners, Wis., a consulting firm that makes ad buys. Walker’s largest expense category, at $1.6 million, was for “Mailing Service” — shorthand in the campaign biz for direct mail fundraising. Here the beneficiary was SCM Associates, a GOP fundraising company in Dublin, New Hampshire. Past clients include Mitt Romney, Sen. Scott Brown, Paul Ryan and Walker, whose website testimonial says SCM “played a critical role in my recall election.” The SCM website says it raised “nearly $15 million” to help Walker in his recall election. Records show his campaign paid the company $6.5 million between early 2011 and the mid2012 election. To make money, you have to spend it. Burke has spent more than $600,000 on mailing services, much of it to two Maryland-based companies, ProList and Linemark. Other findings: The Walker campaign reported spending $216,000 on fundraiser expenses like
food and beverages. On two occasions, it paid more than $4,000 for the boogie woogie stylings of Boogie and Bill Lueders the Yo-Yoz, an Appletonbased band. Burke’s fundraiser outlays totaled $3,422. Of this, the campaign spent a grand total of $52.75 on entertainment; this went, in one lump sum, to Full Compass Systems, a Verona company that rents audio/visual equipment. Walker spent $932,417 on consulting fees, compared to Burke’s $438,975. He spent $146,636 on surveys and polls, compared to her $136,243. And Walker spent $338,687 on legal fees, presumably related to the stalled John Doe probe, while Burke’s legal fees totaled $30,077. Next to TV ads, the highest “media” expense category for both candidates was online advertising, with Walker spending $189,804 to Burke’s $145,424. In the category of newspaper advertising, Walker’s campaign spent a grand total of nothing. Burke coughed up $813 for this cause, including four $2 purchases from the Wisconsin State Journal. Every little bit counts — and is, on some ledger somewhere, counted. -Lueders is the Money and Politics Project director at the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism (www.WisconsinWatch.org).

Dear Corie: Why was ‘DeForest’ painted on the water tower near Highway 51 and the interstate? – Tower Title Dear Tower Title:
DeForest is painted on this tower because it is part of the DeForest utilities. Although the tower is physically located in the Town of Burke, the water service provided by the tower is managed by the Village of DeForest. This has been the case since 2006 when the Village acquired the tower from the Town of Burke. Since the tower is part of the DeForest Water Utility, the Village is responsible for its maintenance needs, including how it is painted. The Village Board decided

Two key components of community supported agriculture are getting to know farmers personally and becoming informed about the production of food. Here, Lauren Anderson gets to know farmer John Schlitz.
FARM From page 4 As I harvested, I began sneaking bites here and there of the ones I would have had to discard anyway. And, even raw – maybe especially raw – they tasted really good. • It was educational. Among all my experiences on the farm this summer, probably the most quintessential “getting to know your farmer” moment was all of us workers harvesting beans with John, asking him questions about his crops, their different varieties, how long they take to grow, the mechanized methods of harvesting them, etc. That scene illustrates what John says is one of the most important components of community supported agriculture: building a relationship with your farmer and getting information about what you’re eating. And for those 30 minutes under the intensifying morning heat as I thought my legs may cave in exhaustion, I think we accomplished both of those things. • It proved that machinery isn’t always the answer. During our harvest time, John explained how purchasing a mechanical bean harvester doesn’t make sense for his opera-
tion. For one, they’re a bit larger than his farm calls for and, secondly, when he compares labor costs over how much the equipment would cost, it’s not particularly beneficial. Despite my very obvious human frailty in that moment, I took it as a sort of affirmation of my work. A machine may not get tired, sweat profusely or snack on the crop it’s been assigned to harvest like I do, but in that particular moment, I was better at that job than some fancy machine. While harvesting beans was my final assignment on the farm, the real conclusion came the next day when I picked up my share of vegetables – a box full of tomatoes, red potatoes, leaf lettuce, beets, sweet peppers, summer squash, zucchinis, and, you guessed it, green beans. Fully equipped with recipe recommendations from John, I set out to go cook a meal and share my bounty with friends and family. But within a few minutes of exiting the farm driveway, I couldn’t help but grab the bag of green beans and start munching on them – unwashed and all. Because something else I learned on the farm is that a little dirt never hurt anyone. - Anderson is the associate editor of the DeForest Times Tribune.

COLLEGE NEWS
Long-Pero awarded scholarship The Wisconsin Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Stores (WPMCA) Foundation proudly presented two scholarships in 2014 to Wisconsin students. Maddisen Long-Pero from DeForest received a $1000 scholarship to pursue a medical degree at the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh. “We were very impressed with Maddisen’s work ethic and her desire to help others,” said Jennifer Badeau, Executive Director for the WPMCA Foundation. “She graduated high school with a 4.182 GPA, played volley-
August 21, 2014
ball and volunteered in the community by delivering Meals on Wheels, assisting Red Cross Blood Drives and preparing meals at the Ronald McDonald House. She’s an inspiration and very deserving of this scholarship.” Maddisen was accepted into the honors program at UW-Oshkosh. She is hoping to pursue a career as a rehabilitation physician. WPMCA would like to congratulate both Maddisen and the other 2014 scholarship recipient, Monica Francois from Belleville. The awards are renewable for up
to four years if the recipients meet certain requirements. Leadership of the WPMCA Foundation created the award to “fuel minds that grow through education and research.” The foundation provides scholarship awards to students attending college, technical or vocational programs at any accredited post-secondary institution. Applicants must be connected to a WPMCA member, an employee or a child of a WPMCA member in Wisconsin. More details about the scholarship can be found on the WPMCA website.

In conjunction with this fundraiser, Ford Motor Company & Bushnell Ford of Lodi held a “Drive 4 UR Community” event. This event is designed to help raise funds for local groups and nonprofit organizations.The Second Chance Fund would like to thank Bushnell Ford and the 189 people who test drove Ford vehicles for the event.

SCHOOLS From page 1 unskilled (60 percent) to now being mostly skilled (68 percent). He said that currently the fastest growing occupations with salaries greater than $30,000 require some post-secondary education. Entry level jobs that offer advancement opportunities and family-supporting wages require the same skill sets as those required for post-secondary education, including advanced reading, writing and math, Winters noted. Meanwhile the current workforce is aging, leading to a slowing of Wisconsin’s labor force growth as baby boomers exit the workplace. If there aren’t sufficient gains in productivity, Winters said the situation will mean stagnation in the state’s economy and could have “potentially devastating” effects, including lower per capita income, decreases in tax base, lower bond ratings, cuts to school funding, fewer public services and overall lower quality of life. To mitigate these trends, Winters said the state needs to focus on increasing talent in the future workforce through investment in education and training. He added that incoming workers need to be matched with where there are industry demands. Following Winters’ presentation, District College and Career Readiness Coordinator Judi Walsh presented data on where DeForest Area High School graduates have been over the past six years, which reveals a disconnect between students’ intended path and where they actually end up after high school. “What the seniors tell us they’re planning to do and what they actually do when they leave are very different,” Walsh said. National Student Clearinghouse data indicate a six-year average of 76 percent of graduates enrolling in a post-secondary institution within two years of graduation from DAHS. Those numbers have fluctuated from year to year, how-
ever, with a low of 70 percent in 2007 and a high of 84 percent in 2009. Walsh said that disparity likely reflects students’ response to the onset of the recession in 2008.
percent. “That’s a really good thing,” she said. “Once our kids get there, they tend to stay at least another year.” Winters noted the importance of students getting through their second year of college to ensure they complete their degree. “We do a very good job of getting them on to higher ed. [But] as they become freshmen – either in a twoyear or four-year [institution] – we don’t do a very good job of getting them to the sophomore level,” Winters said, referring to national trends. “But if they do get to that next year, we do a very good job of them completing.” The class of 2011 saw a drop in direct entry to postsecondary institutions at 71 percent, down seven percent from the previous class. Walsh said this is “surprising” to counselors because many students have made plans to attend college and have completed their applications at the time of graduation. “I’m not sure what happens in summer,” she said. “I think some of it is finances though.” While counselors host financial aid information sessions and individual tutorials, Walsh said completing FASFA and other related forms can be intimidating for students, which may also be a deterrent to attending school.
AFTER ENROLLING IN college, DeForest students see varying levels of completion. As of 2013, 47 percent of the class of 2006 had received a degree from a post-secondary institution, 27 percent were no longer enrolled in school and had not graduated, 9.5 percent were still working toward a degree, and 3 percent had returned to school after a break. For the 222 graduating seniors, 38 gradated in four years, 40 graduated in five years, 12 graduated in six years and 11 graduated in three years or less. The class of 2007 has a slightly lower completion rate. Factoring in that the students have had one fewer year to finish their post-secondary work, as of 2013, 40 percent had received a degree, 23 percent had left school, 12 percent were still in school and 3 percent had returned to school. Among the 227 graduates, 25 graduated in four years, 42 graduated in five years, 9 graduated in six years and 14 graduated in three years or less. Walsh said there is a high rate of DAHS graduates entering into the second year of college, at around 80

Walsh said in today’s economy it’s important for students to pursue the type of education and training that makes sense for them, not necessarily a four-year bachelor’s degree. “It’s . . . best to get the degree that will get you the job that you want and the job that will be able to afford you the lifestyle you want – and those aren’t always the jobs that are coming out of four-year colleges right now,” she said. While the figures indicate room for improvement, School/Community Relations Coordinator Debbie Brewster said the district isn’t alone in seeing lower college entry and completion rates among their graduation students. Brewster noted that reviewing the data is a step in addressing the issue. There are efforts already underway in the district in response to the trends, however. Walsh noted the district’s partnership with Madison College in providing dual enrollment options for students to complete
college credit while in high school. Students interested in pursuing a career in health care can take three courses toward that end before attending college.
The district will soon roll out Project Lead The Way, an initiative to bolster its science, technology, engineering and math curriculum. Brewster touted the program as a way to channel students’ interest in math toward where there are industry demands. “We’re trying to get kids to walk away with things in hand to help them be more employable and to give them some of those skills that they need,” Walsh said. Walsh encouraged the business leaders and district staff to also be part of the solution. “We can’t sit on this because I don’t think our data is where we want it to be,” Walsh said. “So our charge to the group is today is to help us think about the data but then also come up with ideas and suggestions as to what we could do and how we can change some of the results for our kids as they graduate.”

Allen was the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year, while Peters was voted Defensive Lineman of the Year. The cupboard is not all bare for the Norskies, as they have a good foundation to build around. On offense, DeForest has a talented group of lineman led by junior tackle Hunter Toppel and junior center Connor Girten. Both earned first-team all-conference as sophomores. “They can’t rely on last year,” Minick said. “They have to get better and improve. They have shown
nice leadership on the field and we are expecting big things from them.” Seniors J.T. Mueller, Emmanuel Harris, Kyle Severson, Ben Swanton, Wade Chamberlin and Jake Flynn and juniors Nathan Kemp, Grant Rogers, Seth Holder, Brandon Williams, Victor Hernandez, Aaron Jackson and Derek Wiersma are also looking to make an impact on the offensive line this season. After earning second-team all-conference as a defensive back last year, junior Hunter Wilson is switching over to quarterback this season. “He has done a good job so far,” Minick said. “He is a very knowledgeable kid and he only jumped over to offense this year. I’m expecting good things from him.”

The DeForest Deacon baseball team earned its third trip to the Home Talent Final Four wiht a 14-4 victory over Cottage Grove on Sunday.
FOUR From page 9 “I just try to stay loose out there,” Edwards said. “It allows me to be more comfortable at the plate.” Tyler Kurt drove in two
runs in the fourth with a single, while Handorf added an RBI single. Cottage Grove cut the lead to 11-4 with RBI singles by Derrick Rice and Trevor Coogan in the top of the sixth and eighth frames. The Deacons put the finishing touches on the win with three more runs in the
eighth. Kurt, Handorf and Drew Barman each drove in a run. Mac Wichmann had another solid game on the mound for DeForest. He pitched the first seven innings and had nine strikeouts and a walk on his way to the win. “I have had a lot of run

Lake Windsor hosts Club Championship By Sam Rodriguez Sports Editor

Senior linebacker Jared Endres (left) and senior defensive end Brett Saley both return to DeForest’s line-up after earning all-conference honors last season.
MARKS From page 9 Sophomores Keegan Harder and Brad McKinney will back up Wilson this season. Junior Jadon Sackman will lead the charge in the backfield this season. In a backup role last season, he was second on the team with 730 yards and eight touchdowns on 101 carries. “He is a talented back,” Minick said. “We traditionally have had some good backs and hopefully he will rise to the occasion.” Also looking to get carries this season are senior Austin Newcomb, juniors Eric Skowronski, Tyler Blum and Beau Gaston and sophomore Jacob Marty. The Norskies have a lot of new faces at receiver and tight end, as they lost their top five pass catchers from a year ago. “We have some big kids at receiver and they can run,” Minick said. “They have to improve on their route running, but we certainly have some athletic ability out there.” Senior Justin Blau, junior Jake Capstran and sophomore Alex Romeo are the leading candidates at tight
end, while seniors Bryce Berg, Derby Jacobs, Kentrell Randle, Dejahon Bell and Brock Williams and juniors Jimmar Harris, Bryce McDonald, Marcus Horton, Anthony Blevins and Dryden Van Schoyck are battling it out at receiver. Senior Brett Saley will also see some time at tight end, but will spend most of his time at defensive end. He proved to be one of the better players in the conference last year and earned firstteam All-Northern Badger. He led the Norskies with 14 sacks, to go along with 40 tackles and a fumble recovery. “His energy level and motor is amazing,” Minick said. “He never gives up. He raises the level of play of everyone around him.” Joining Saley on the defensive line this year are seniors Thor Tidstrom, Austin Britten, Omar Guevera, Calvin Compe and Jimmi Harris and juniors Kevin Rauls, Jack LaRue, Justin Wentland, Jordan Gottschalk, Joe Iverson, Jerrit Oyer, Nathan Schueller, Alex Ewers and Shawn Patterson Senior linebacker Jared Endres is the only other returning all-conference player on defense. He was a second-team pick as a junior after tallying 54 tackles, two sacks and an interception.
“He is a great leader,” Minick said. “He is not the biggest guy, but he will come up and hit you. He is a really good football player,” Seniors Garret Kertz, Jayce Harder and Mike Perez, juniors Trent Tschumper, Ben Buchda and Abrahm Schroedl and sophomores Will Ganz and Jackson Hemauer will add depth at linebacker. With Wilson moving to quarterback, there is not a lot of experience in the defensive backfield. Looking to make an impact this season are seniors Luke Engeseth, Clayton Underdahl, Ryan Brickheimer, Chase Ramos, Austin Drews and juniors Alex Schodin, Conner True, Shae Sims and Michael Paul. Sophomore Harry Acker will take over for Allen as kicker this season. Along with the new faces on the field, the Norskies also had some changes on the sideline, as Minick is taking over offensive coordinator duties and Sean Wilson is the new defensive coordinator. “Defensively we will operate the same way, but offensively, we will have a bit of a new look as we will use the pistol formation,” Minick said. “It has been fun because I feel like I’m more involved and get to coach
the kids more.” The Northern Badger Conference title race is wide open this season and the Norskies hope to be in the mix. “Our goal is always to win a conference title,” Minick said. “This is the most balanced I have seen this league. Mount Horeb, Waunakee and Reedsburg are all top level teams and Sauk Prairie returns a lot of guys. It is going to be a battle each and every Friday, maybe more than I have ever seen.” DeForest opens the 2014 campaign on Friday with a 7 p.m. Badger Conference crossover game at Fort Atkinson.

DeAngelis Jr., Brown, Hubred, Snyder and Moyer Take Home Checkered Flags at MIS by John Wells
Bell wins Cornfest Midget Classic, Victory locks up Badger Championship
A great crowd was on hand on Salute to Agriculture Night at MIS and saw five drivers take home the big trophies: John DeAngelis Jr. (Late Models), Blake Brown (Trucks), Kody Hubred (Sportsman), Dan Snyder (Bandits), and Aaron Moyer (Legends). John DeAngelis Jr. won his first ever feature at Madison by holding off Casey Johnson in the 40 lap feature for the Club LaMark Late Models. DeAngelis started on the pole and out sprinted Mike Meyerhofer for the lead. Caution flags came out on lap 5 and then again on the restart, but both times DeAngelis was able to maintain his lead. Bobby Wilberg gave him the biggest challenge early on before losing the second position to Zack Riddle on lap 7. The caution flag came out for another spin on lap 8 setting up a restart with DeAngelis on the inside and Wilberg on the outside. DeAngelis was able to keep his lead when the green flag waved with Riddle taking over the second spot on lap 10. Casey Johnson moved past Wilberg on lap 11 with Kevin Knuese and Dale Nottestad rounding out the top five. On lap 17 Johnson powered his way into second while DeAngelis was enjoying running out front by building up a big lead. With each lap, Johnson was able to cut into DeAngelis’ lead and by lap 25 appeared to be in a position to take the lead. Johnson tried every which way he could‌inside and outside‌but just wasn’t able to get by DeAngelis who led wire to wire to pick up the win. Johnson finished in the runner-up position followed by Jon Reynolds Jr., Nottestad, and Riddle. Riddle was fastest in qualifying while heat race wins went to Tony Brutti, Jesse Bernhagen, and Nottestad. Blake Brown won the 25 lap feature for the American Ethanol Super Trucks and continues to lead the points race. Rick Corso and John Beale battled for the early lead with Corso coming out ahead. Chester Ace was up to fight for the lead on lap 7, but Corso was able to maintain the point. Brown and Jerry Wood were up to second and third by lap 11 and one lap later Brown was able to slide by Corso for the lead coming down the front stretch. The caution flag came out on lap 13 when two trucks got together. After the restart, Ace blew by Wood for second and starting chasing down the leader. But five laps were not enough as Brown held on for the win. Ace finished second followed by Camden Murphy, Wood, and Michael Raskovic. Ace was fastest in qualifying with Beale and Ace winning the heat races. Kody Hubred won the 20 lap feature for the Dave’s White Rock Sportsman and took home his sixth checkered flag of the season. Hubred wrestled the early lead away from Jay Kalbus with Will Rece and Ryan Goldade up to challenge the leader. Hubred built a big lead over the field, and despite a series of caution flags that negated his advantage, was able to maintain his superiority over the field to pick up the win. Goldade took home second place followed by Jim Taylor, Rece, and Jason Dunn. Goldade was the fast qualifier with a lap of 20.312 while Hubred won the heat race. Dan Snyder picked up another win in the Pellitteri Waste Systems Bandits and clinched his first-ever track championship at Madison. It was another wild one in the Bandits with two and three wide action. Jason Coker took the early lead before surrendering it to Dave Schmidt on lap 6. Schmidt was quickly joined by Snyder and Brian Beale. On lap 15 Snyder was able to work his way to the front and hang on for the win. Beale took the second spot on lap 21 but wouldn’t have enough to catch Snyder. Snyder set fast time in qualifying while Brian Paulson and Schmidt won heat races. Aaron Moyer was back in victory lane after winning the 20 lap feature for the Roto Rooter Legends. Kyle Jusits took the early lead and held it for the first eighteen laps before Moyer worked his way to the front by passing Jusits on the front stretch. Cory Talaska and Chris Lishamer were also able to get by Jusits but wouldn’t catch Moyer and finished second and third. Moyer was fast qualifier while Talaska won the heat race. Racing continues this Saturday and Sunday with the ARCA Racing Series visiting MIS. Complete information available at madisoninternationalspeedway.com.
By Bryan Gapinski Sun Prairie, Wis., Aug. 18-- Christopher Bell scored a wire-to-wire victory, winning the Miller Lite Cornfest Midget Classic Sunday night at Angell Park Speedway. The event was co-sanctioned by the USAC Honda National Midget, POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget,and Zimbrick Chevrolet of Sun Prairie/Mid-State Equipment Badger Midget Series. The victory also locked up the Badger Midget Driver’s Championship for Bell, who becomes the 41st different champion, in the organizations 78 years of sanctioning midget auto racing. Bell jumped into the lead at the start, two cautions during the first three laps, slowed the event. On the fourth lap, Chris Windom flipped down the backstretch in one of the most spectacular crashes in years at the facility. Windom was uninjuried. During the cleanup process track officials measured the Windom’s flip at 254 feet in length. Bell pulled away from the field on the restart. Daniel Robinson, and Bryan Clauson waged a torrid battle for second position. The pair made contact entering Turn 3 on Lap 10, the pair slid across the track into the wall, with Clauson flipping, the incident also collected fourth place running Rico Abreu. Clauson would restart in 20th position and eventually finish fifth in the event. Bell again remained unchallenged for the lead, while Darren Hagen, Tracy Hines, Tyler Thomas and Jerry Coons Jr. battled for runner-up honors. Bell began lapping the tail of the field, with nine laps remaining. On the final lap Brady Bacon flipped, causing a two-lap restart. Bell driving the Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian owned Bullet-Toyota No. 71 finished ahead of Hagen, Thomas, Hines and Clauson. “ It’s a great honor to win the Badger Championship, the series has such a rich history, the car was great tonight, being up front kept me out trouble� commented Bell. The victory was his fourth of the year at the track, twelfth overall of the season. Matt Paderta scored his sixth series victory of the season winning the 15-lap Badger 600 Micro Series feature. The event was slowed on the second lap, when a nine-car accident occurred, with multiple cars flipping. Once underway Paderta cruised to an easy victory over series points leader Brandon Sletten, Will Gerrits; Ben Paderta, and Tory Strauss. Paderta now trails Sletten by 18-points heading into the Aug. 23 event at Sycamore (Ill.) Speedway. The Angell Park and Badger season finales will be on Sunday Aug. 31, featuring both divisions and the 12th annual Dave Schulenberg Christopher Bell of Oklahoma captured the 30 lap Memorial Trophy Dash.

JEFFERSON SPEEDWAY Nottestad Notches Another Victory By Andrew Schaller JEFFERSON, WI (Saturday, August 16, 2014) Dale Nottestad of Cambridge strengthened his case to repeat as Late Model track champion by claiming his fourth feature victory of the season and increasing his lead in the standings with only three weeks of point racing left in the season. John Ovadal Jr grabbed the lead from Craig Phillips on lap six with Brandon Pendleton in tow for second. John Grueneberg joined the leaders on lap 13, taking second from Pendleton and drawing even with Ovadal for the lead. Grueneberg took over the top spot on lap 16 with Nottestad in his tracks for second. Nottestad quickly moved alongside Grueneberg, clearing for the lead on lap 26. Nottestad cruised to the checkers from there to seal his fourth feature win of the season. Grueneberg finished second followed by Casey Johnson, Dylan Schuyler and Shaun Scheel. In Sportsman action, Tim Coley took the early lead from Adam Bleskan with Jay Kalbus right behind in second. Kalbus slipped past Coley on lap six while Jason Thoma was slicing his way through the field after an early pit stop placed him in the rear. Thoma passed Coley for second on lap 21 and closed in on Kalbus at the front. Kalbus held off Thoma’s advances as the laps ticked away. As the duo raced into turn three one final time, Kalbus dropped to the low side to block Thoma. But Thoma charged to the outside and drew even with Kalbus as they exited turn four. Thoma won the drag race to the stripe to claim the win with Kalbus settling for second. Rounding out the top five were Mark Deporter, Robert Hansberry Jr and Coley. Merek Pankow took the early lead in the 20 lap International feature and tried to open up a large advantage. Meanwhile, John Handeland made his way up to second by lap 15 and began to close in on Pankow. Handeland caught the leader with two laps to go as he drove to the high side looking to lead. Pankow and Handeland raced door to door on the final lap, each looking to gain the advantage. Contact between the two as they came to the checkers resulted in Handeland crossing the stripe first sideways to claim the win. Pankow finished a close second followed by Keith Bell, Chris Chenoweth and Mike Lambert. In Hobby Stock feature action, Phil Wuesthoff took the lead on lap two while Ken Scott and Dustin Ward worked their way into the top three. Ward stole second from Scott on lap 10 and closed in on Wuesthoff at the point. Ward began searching for a lane to the lead, but Wuesthoff kept him at bay to see the checkers first for the win. Ward was second followed by Bobby Selsing Jr, Scott and Dylan Buckingham. Tom Dorn led the Road Warrior feature early from the pole with Craig Henning and Bill Sweeney charging through the field. Henning pulled up behind Dorn on lap seven with Sweeney close behind in third. On lap nine, Henning tried using the low groove to get by Dorn, but Sweeney charged between to fire into the lead on lap ten. Sweeney cruised to the checkers from there to win followed by Henning, Bill Reynolds, Dorn and Matthew Melchiori. In Bandit action, Noah Pankow led early while Trent Rueth sliced his way toward the front of the 15 lap event. Rueth pulled alongside Pankow on lap five, clearing a lap later and driving away to get the win. Devon Dixon was second with Pankow, Nick Schmidt and Brandon DeLacy rounding out the top five. Next Saturday, August 23, is a full program of racing with time trails at Dale Nottestad (51) works past John Grueneberg for 5pm and racing at 7pm sharp.

COLUMBUS 151 SPEEDWAY WENZEL WINS COLUMBUS 151 LATE MODEL MAIN By Charlie Spry Columbus, WI. (Friday, August 15, 2014). Brett Wenzel started racing at the Columbus 151 Speedway only a couple of weeks ago, but it didn't take him long to figure things out, as he won the late model feature Friday night. Lincoln Keeser took the early lead in the late model main event, with Brett Wenzel, Bill Retallick, and Jake Vanoskey pulling away from the tight pack of cars. The first caution came about on lap 9, when Keeser barely clipped a car that had spun out just off of turn two, in a bad location. While Keeser's car seemed to have little damage, it was just enough to cut down a tire, and he had to go to the pits for service. Wenzel was now in the lead on the restart, and had to do battle with Vanoskey, as Ron Bishofberger worked his way into third. Bishofberger was able to get around Vanoskey, with Don Gaserude also entering the picture now. The caution was once again displayed when Tory Adams got into John Wasserburger, placing both at the back on the ensuing restart. Throughout two more cautions in the later stages of the race, Wenzel repeatedly had his hands full with either Vanoskey, Bishofberger, or both knocking at his door. In the end, Wenzel had just enough to take the win over Bishofberger, Gaserude, Vanoskey, and Brady Liddle. Liddle set fast time, with Keeser and Vanoskey winning the heat races. Josh Fehrmann and Peter Gillis paced the field at the start of the street stock feature, with Tim Belz going under the pair on the first lap, getting the lead. Randy Breunig followed Belz, then made a quick move into the lead, with Steven Sauer taking second from Belz on lap 11. Breunig had built up a large lead, but Sauer slowly chewed away at it, running out of time, as Breunig took the win over Sauer, Belz, Dan Schmidt, and Brad Hetzel. Sauer was the fastest in qualifications, with Collin Tomlinson winning the heat race. The hobby stock feature was likely the most entertaining feature of the evening, as Wayne Buchs was making his first start of the year, but had troubles with his car in hot laps, jumping into Jim Wolf's car to race. Korey Bengsch and Buchs started on the front row for the feature, with the pair swapping the lead in the early stages. Buchs finally cleared for the lead on lap 10, with Jim Tate Jr. quickly up to second. Tate moved alongside to challenge Buchs, while right behind the lead pair Chester Williams and Cody Buchs ran side by side. Wayne Buchs was able to take the win by inches over Tate, while Williams edged out Cody Buchs for third, followed by Tony Ciano. Cody Buchs was the fastest qualifier, while Wayne Buchs won the heat race. Austin Bennett took the early lead in the Bandit feature, but Josh Rusch worked his way into the lead by the second lap after a first lap caution had allowed several front runners to move up in the pack by choosing the outside groove. Keith Erickson was immediately in the picture, battling with Rusch for several laps before taking the lead, as Rusch bobbled. Jeremy Bredeson and Jamie Kohn moved into contention in short order, as Erickson extended his lead, only to have the caution come out. Once back underway, Erickson left the field in his mirror, as Bredeson, Rusch, and Kohn trailed. Rusch dropped back to fourth, with Bredeson and Kohn battling for second. Erickson prevailed, with Bredeson finishing second over Kohn, Rusch, and Noah Pankow. Dalton Jones was the fastest in qualifications, with heat wins going to Kyle Dopkins and Erickson. Zachary Smith took the initial lead in the Backup race, with Rick Verdon stalling at the line. Andy Ward wasted little time in shooting into the lead as all of this was happening, then built up a commanding lead over Nick Weiss and Verdon. Verdon's troubles continued, as he spun into the infield on the second lap, then recovered quickly. Ward was having little trouble guiding the field, as he took the easy win, with Verdon coming back to finish second over Weiss and Wayne Hook. The Wisconsin Sport Trucks were on hand tonight, with the feature event starting off with a three wide situation right from the start, as Drew Habeck took the early lead. Eyes were on fast timer Hayden Watzka, as he quickly challenged for the lead, getting the spot on the second lap. Watzka took control, with Todd Kostichka and Brian Vixmer taking over the second and third spots. Watzka was in his own time zone, as he pulled away for the win over Vixmer, Kostichka, Drew Habeck, and Blaine Habeck. Drew Habeck won the first heat, with Watzka winning the second to complete the clean sweep.

SANIMAX TIMELINE A recap of the event’s leading up to last week’s lawsuit notice. March 15 Trustees unanimously vote to amend the village’s nuisance ordinance, a move that Village Attorney Al Reuter said will give the code “sharper teeth.” Among the changes was penalties of $25,00 for repeat offenders. April 9 Sanimax hosts an outreach session where plant GM Bill Molander says company staffers receive a variety of feedback and that he is pleased with the “very positive” turnout. April 15 DeForest residents air criticism at a village board listening session. More than 20 individuals step up to the podium and lash out about the odors. April 30 Four village representatives resign from their seats on a joint Sanimax and village task team established over the winter in hopes of resolving the odor situation.
August 21, 2014
June 19 Warshafsky Law Firm of Milwaukee and Detroit-based Liddle & Dublin, P.C. mail surveys to residents in both DeForest and Howard to gauge interest in a possible class action lawsuit against Sanimax. August 8 Legal representatives for Sanimax file briefs asking a municipal court judge to invalidate the nuisance ordinance amendments made in March and to dismiss all fines levied against the company. August 8 A handful of Green Bay area residents team with Warshafsky Law Firm and Liddle & Dublin to file a class action lawsuit against Sanimax on claims that the rendering plant's emissions there have made life difficult for home owners. August 14 Village President Judd Blau sends a letter to the Wisconsin DNR's Bureau of Air Management asking the state agency to join the village in developing “workable strategies to mitigate the odor problem.”
SANIMAX From page 1 DeForest trustees in March voted to amend the village's nuisance ordinance to feature stricter penalties for repeat offenders. Two weeks ago, Nickels filed a brief in support of a declaratory judgment to invalidate the amendment and any subsequent fines levied against Sanimax. Much like her municipal court filing, Nickels is critical in the lawsuit notice of the amendment and $200,000 worth of fines that have accumulated since. Nickels claims that in the weeks after the amendment was adopted, village officials “repeatedly attacked Sanimax's credibility,” encouraged residents “to
issue complaints about” the plant, and directed police to “engage in selective and harassing enforcement actions.” Nickels also argues that the ordinance amendment is an attempt by the village to circumvent the air pollution enforcement duties of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. All of those alleged actions, Nickels says, have damaged Sanimax's reputation in the eyes of the public and its business partners, have caused loss of “revenue, goodwill and other harm,” and therefore entitle the company to compensation “at least in the amount of $900,000.” “The majority of residents value Sanimax as a corporate citizen and disprove of the Village's targeting of Sanimax,” says Nickels.
DIGESTER: Reopening unclear after fire From page 1 from entering the Lake Mendota watershed. The plant also captures biogas to produce energy. According to Clear Horizons CEO Jim Ditter, the farms produce between 90,000 and 110,000 gallons each day that normally are processed. For now, the manure is being transferred to a lagoon on the property that usually holds treated manure, Mosher said. “Capacity is not an issue for those farms,” Mosher said, noting that the untreated manure will be

In this instance, if the digesters were operating,
they would be removing the phosphorus. “The only effect would be the manure they would be spreading is having a higher phosphorus content,” Mosher said. Mosher said he does not yet know when the digester will be operational again. The roof of one of the digester tanks caught fire Aug. 6 after it had been cleaned, causing an estimated $250,000 in damage. No one was harmed and no hazardous materials were leaked as a result of the fire.a

implementation of DaneCom, a new $18 million countywide radio system set to go live around Labor Day. “We do understand that this is a process and we can't just plug in an $18 million project, flip the switch, and it works,” said Sup. Bob Salov of Cambridge, adding that he has “full confidence” in 911 center staff to address the problems. Salov offered a resolution more than a month ago that sought to scale back the total number of seats on the 911 center board. He said the board is made up of “fine” individuals with “good intentions,” but emphasized
a desire to see things simplified. “I suggest to you that the center board severely reduce itself in size and that it wield itself as a policy setting board rather than a work shop to work out the details of this very complex project,” Salov said. •Supervisors voted to delay a decision on a conditional use permit request out of the the Town of Albion related to possible mineral extraction. “There was a lack of understanding about the time frame for testimony and witnesses and in order to preserve the due process rights of the appellants, corporation counsel recommended that we postpone,” Corrigan said. A contingent of individuals were registered to speak before the board about the permit matter, which will be reviewed by the board at one of its two scheduled meetings in September.

WINDSOR PACK 155 CUB SCOUTS
CONSERVATION
Back to school tips for cutting back on waste, costs The new school year is almost here and whether you're shopping for new school supplies or packing for a big move to campus, wrapping, packaging and other waste can pile up quickly. From kindergarten to college, a little planning can help students and families reduce, reuse and recycle more while saving money and wasting less. Department of Natural Resources recycling specialists have gathered some practical tips for reducing waste during the back to school rush. "We know it's a busy time for students and their families," said DNR Recycling Outreach Coordinator Elisabeth Olson, "but with a few simple steps, you can reduce waste and save money." Back-to-school suggestions include: •Reusing paper, folders, backpacks and calculators from last year when you can. If purchasing new supplies, look for those made from recycled content, and those that use minimal packaging; •Using reusable food and beverage containers for school lunches; •Donating or recycling clothes and supplies that are still in good, usable condition; •Recycling old electronics. It's no longer legal to dispose of most electronic devices in landfills or incinerators. E-Cycle Wisconsin, a DNR program, makes recycling electronics easier by providing a list of collection locations across the state for items like computers, printers, cell phones and
more. You can search "ecycle" at dnr.wi.gov for more information; and •Talking to your children about the importance of waste reduction and recycling, and to their teachers about teaching and using recycling principles in the classroom. For potential recycling activities, see the EEK!?Environmental Education for Kids! pages of the DNR website dnr.wi.gov by searching "EEK!" Moving suggestions include: •Developing a plan to pack and organize what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of. Approaching moving with a plan will give you more time to think about what to throw away or donate, what to reuse and what to recycle; •Reusing boxes, cloth bags or plastic containers from move to move and using reusable or recyclable materials (including newspaper, T-shirts and others) to package fragile items; •Collecting clean, dry plastic bags and packaging film and recycling these at a retail drop-off location. You can use the plasticfilmrecycling.org directory to find a drop-off location nearby; and •Donating or recycling old electronics, furniture and other household items. Check with your local recycling program to see if they have a special recycling or reuse collection event to make it easier to reuse and recycle. More information and ideas are available by searching the DNR website dnr.wi.gov for "recycling for all seasons."
