A deal has been made between a local entrepreneur and the Keller Real Estate Group to use the remaining 10,000 square feet of commercial space at the downtown Fulton Square building for a new business, the Edgerton Auction House. Jason Richardson, formerly of Wisconsin Rapids but now living at the Fulton Square condominium project on West Fulton Street in Edgerton, will open his auction house at the building on Sept. 20. Doors will open for the auction at 4 p.m., with an opportunity for visitors to view items. The auction will

start at 6 p.m. This first auction that the business will conduct will include items donated by area people to benefit the seventh-annual Edgerton Sterling North Book and Film Festival. People supporting the festival can bring donated items for this portion of the auction to the Edgerton Reporter office, 21 N. Henry St., this and next week. The Edgerton Auction House is also actively accepting other items that people hope to sell at the first auction. These items will be evaluated by Richardson by appointment only. Call (608) 963-7891 or e-mail at edgertonauctionhouse@hotmail to

obtain an appointment. Potential consigners of items for auctions can also check out the business on Facebook, where descriptions of items for auction can be found. Both large and small, quality items will be accepted for auction, but no clothes will be sold. Richardson’s firm will market items submitted for sale via social media to “get the right customers,” he noted. “If you have an item you want to sell, we can sell it for you,” Richardson said. Monthly auctions will offer people “something to do” in Edgerton, Richardson said. “Our vision is to have something in the community to do, as far as community involvement is concerned,” he explained. “We want to get people connected and have them attend auctions where good quality items are being sold.” Assisting Richardson in the business are Norma Birkinbine and Jan Dunn, both of Edgerton. Fulton Square property manager Jeff Crapp has also been helpful in “helping achieve my vision,” Richardson said. The owners of Fulton Square, Keller Development, has also been very accommodating, Richardson added. Twenty percent commission will be charged on items consigned for auctions, Richardson said. “This is the lowest rate for auctions in our area,” Richardson said. “Most other businesses charge rates of 35 to 40 percent.” There will be no fee to attend auctions, which are expected to be held at Fulton Square, initally, at least once a month, Richardson said. If successful, the auctions would be held more frequently, he added. A licensed auctioneer will be engaged to conduct the auctions, Richardson said. “This will not be like a retail shop,” Richardson said. “Items will be sold at auction and will be displayed prior to auctions.” Although the auction house will rent the space from Keller, the 10,000 square feet is still available for sale or lease to a different business. By staging auctions at the Fulton Square building, the Edgerton Auction House will help advertise the availability of the Fulton Square commercial space. “It’s a win-win situation,” Richardson said.

Second apartment house planned By Mark Scarborough Reporter Staff

Edgerton entrepeneur Dan Rinehart is moving ahead with a second tobacco warehouse-to-apartmenthouse project here on West Fulton Street, he told members of the Edgerton Rotary last week. On Sept. 4, members of the Edgerton Common Council approved the first reading of an ordinance amending a city zoning map for the second apartment house land parcel, located at 401 W. Fulton St. The ordinance change, which requires a second reading at a future council meeting, will allow the developer to change the zoning for the property from “historic mixed use” to “planned development/general development plan overlay.” Conditions for the zoning change include: •A landscape plan meeting ordi-

nance requirements. •Site lighting for the parking lot that does not include wall packs on the building and does not impact adjoining properties. •A stormwater control plan. •A failing parapet wall on the northeast corner of the building to be repaired, not removed, at the start of the project. •An adequate dumpster enclosure that is maintainable and screens the dumpster from West Fulton Street. •A minimum five-foot setback of the parking lot from the residential property. •A site amenity, such as a play area or patio/grilling area. •No occupancy permit to be granted until the parking lot is complete. •Cooperation with the fire department on fire supression and building design. Representatives of the West End

Diner and Dr. Mark Irgens’ dentist office expressed concerns at an Aug. 29 Edgerton Planning Commission meeting about crowded parking conditions on Burdick Street since the completion of Rinehart’s first West Fulton Street apartment house converted from a tobacco warehouse, which opened for business this year. Alderpersons may consider a limitation on overnight parking on Burdick Street, noted City Administrator Ramona Flanigan. The apartment house at 401 W. Fulton St. will feature six three-bedroom apartments and six one-bedroom apartments, Rinehart told Rotarians Aug. 28, The one-bedroom apartments will be on the first floor and will feature exposed architectural beams, while the three-bedroom apartments will be on the second and third floors and feature “open cut” ceilings that stretch up some 25 feet,

Marriage proposal makes Thresheree special event By Mark Scarborough Reporter Staff

The 56th Annual Rock River Thresheree Reunion – held Aug. 31 through Sept. 3 – attracted about 15,000 people to Threshermen’s Park in the town of Fulton, despite sweltering heat and dust as thick as a Woody Guthrie Oklahoma musical lament. Special this year at the event, where 19th and 20th Century monster steam en-

gines roll out of yesterday to be seen again by the children of the 21st Century, was a marriage proposal, right smack dab in the middle of the “parade of power.” Stepping down from his 18-horse Advance Rumely during the long line of machinery was John Malsch of Pell Lake, Wis., and Britta Nesthus of Jefferson, Wis. Malsch proposed to Nesthus during the lull in the proceedings, and Nesthus accepted his offer of marriage. “We’ve

been dating for about a year,” Malsch said. “We’ve known each other for about three years. She used to be the quiet girl who sat on my tool box.” The couple met while working together on the club engine, also an Advance Rumely, when the flue brush came off in the fire box. “I couldn’t see a pretty girl climbing in after something like that and getting all dirty, so I did it myself,” Malsch said. His chivalry was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

“I kind of knew it was going to happen, but I was a little shocked, nevertheless,” said Nesthus about the proposal. Malsch works as a welder. Nesthus is studying surgical technology. According to the Thresheree’s board president, Janesville’s Todd Ligman, the 600-member group that sponsored the latest incarnation of the annual event had a “real good year.” A core group of about 150 volunteers put on the show each year, Ligman said. Lifetime membership, which costs $250, is open to anyone who is interested in 19th and 20th Century farm implements, gas engines and antique vehicles. Farm machinery on display at the show each year include working examples of the Hart-Parr, Titan, Allis Chalmers, Oliver, John Deere, J.I. Case, McCormick Deering Farmall, Fordson, Minneapolis Moline, Caterpillar, Rumely Oil Pull, Gray, Rock Island, Avery, Advance Rumely, and Carr Scottline varieties of antique devices. “We really are trying to emphasize more of the educational elements of things,” Ligman said. “We want to explain more of what the machines do, not just give people opportunties to watch the machines work.” Devices displayed at the Thresheree “keep the past alive,” noted the group’s sole surviving founder, Peter Burno. Thresheree founder John Horton purchased his first engine when he was 16 years old and, from that time on, always had a steam engine or two around. About 1955, he purchased an Advance Rumely from a rural Stoughton threshing ring. Prompted by a neighbor’s offhand comment – “Before I die, I'd like to see threshing done the old way” – Horton staged an old-fashioned threshing expe-

During the “parade of power” at this weekend’s Rock River Thresheree, John Malsch of Pell Lake, Wis., proposed to Britta Nesthus, of Jefferson, Wis. He stepped down from his 18-horse Advance Rumely, stopping a long line of antique farming machinery, just long enough to bend to one knee and share a hug, then he was back on top his monster steam engine, announcing to the world (or at least the portion of it attending the Thresheree) that, “She said yes.” (Edgerton Reporter photo/Mark Scarborough)

Attention Cheeseheads ... Chiliheads are coming to town

By Jeff Brown Special to the Reporter

A Chilihead? Yes. According to the International Chili Society (ICS), “The ICS has thousands of members worldwide who cook, judge and have a good time in helping raise needed funds for worthwhile charities or non-profit organizations. They are called Chiliheads!

As you know, this Saturday is the 23rd Chilimania celebration in downtown Edgerton. Over the years, Chilimania has become one of the midwestʼs premier chili cook-off competitions. The event attracts chili cookers from many states including recent Chilimania winners from North Carolina and Texas.

While Chilimania is just plain fun, it also has a serious impact economically. Several thousand visitors pour on to Henry Street with fun on their minds and money to spend. Before and after the event, our hotels, campgrounds, stores and restaurants reap the rewards of so many visitors to our community.

We have a salute to Chilimania throughout this weekʼs Reporter. Youʼll find photos of past festivals, some recipes and information regarding the events this year. The well-wishes and salutes from our area businesses show the gratitude and appreciation the community has for this terrific festival and commends the hard work of the planners and volunteers. Edgerton is truly put on “center-stage” the second weekend in September. And, the success continues long after next Saturday has ended. It is because the money raised is distributed as scholarships and donations to area charities. Our community benefits in so many ways from Chilimania. Yes, Cheeseheads .... get ready for the Chiliheads! Fun is on the way .....

Residents in a lather over road damage and parking limits Town of Sumner Board

By Jeff Brown Special to Reporter Damage to Kunz Road caused by trucks operated by Enbridge Energy continues to vex the Summer and Koshkonong town boards. Gary Kutz, public works director for the town of Koshkonong, appeared before the Sumner town board at its monthly meeting on August 18th and said 1,400 feet of roadway was damaged after Enbridge took 13 truckloads weighing 70,000 pounds each down the road while performing repairs to a nearby pipeline. Several residents in attendance complained that Enbridge should pay to repair the road because their trucks violated the Class B weight limit. “They have other ways to access the pipeline; they have no business being on our town roads,” said deputy clerk Glendan Rewoldt. Chairman John Dohner said it might cost more to take legal action to force Enbridge to pay for the repair than it would for the towns, who each own half the road, to foot the bill themselves.

Kutz, who recommends that the east side of the damaged area be wedged and the road base re-built, told the board he will bring an estimate for the repairs from B.R. Amon & Sons, an Elkhorn-based construction company, to the September meeting for the board’s approval. Proposed parking restrictions along a section of Glen Oaks Road next to a boat launch and adjacent to the entryway to a power station maintained by Consolidated Koshkonong Sewer District (“CKSD”) led to several exchanges during the meeting. Cars parked along the road sometimes block access to the power station; if CKSD personnel cannot reach the power station during an outage, sewers in surrounding homes might back up. The board was considering a proposal to impose a ten-minute parking limit, designed to allow people to park only long enough to launch a boat, when Jim Maguire, who lives near the power station, said a tenContinued on Page 3

On Sunday, August 19, 2012, Edgerton woke up to the news that Travis Simon, 19, of Edgerton and Jose Emmanuel Ocelotl, 18, of Janesville, were killed when the car driven by Simon rolled over in a suspected alcohol-related crash. Three other passengers fled the scene. The following day a 17-year- old boy was cited for being a party that led to the fatal crash. It is time for our community to seriously address underage drinking. We must stop dismissing underage drinking as a “rite of passage” activity. • Most teens that drink get their alcohol from “social” sources – parents of other teens, older siblings, and other relatives and friends. • Underage drinking is a factor in nearly half of all teen automobile crashes, the leading cause of death among teenagers. • Alcohol use contributes to youth suicides, homicides and fatal injuries and is the leading cause of death among youth after auto crashes. • Alcohol abuse is linked to as many as two-thirds of all sexual assaults and date rapes of teens and college students. •Alcohol is a major factor in unprotected sex among youth, increasing their risk of contracting HIV or other transmitted diseases. (Institute of Medicine Study: Reducing Underage Drinking: A Collective Responsibility) Underage drinking is dangerous, not only for the drinker but also for society, as evident by the number of alcohol-involved motor vehicle crashes, homicides, suicides, and other injuries where alcohol is a major factor. People who begin drinking early in life run the risk of developing serious alcohol problems, including alcoholism, later in life. They are a greater risk for a variety of adverse consequences, including risky sexual activity and poor performance in school. Forty-four percent of Edgerton High School students report being current drinkers and nearly twothirds of those who reported current drinking said they’re accustomed to having five or more drinks in a single sitting. Of students who are of driving age (age 16 and over) who report current drinking 38 percent report drinking and driving themselves and 69 percent report riding with someone who had been drinking (2012 Edgerton Youth Risk Behavior Survey). These statistics underscore what prevention experts, school officials and law enforcement say is a persistently troubling issue facing our youth and community. Despite repeated efforts to teach students and parents that underage drinking is a high risk, illegal and unhealthy behavior, the message is still not taking hold in all corners of our community. Please talk to your children about the dangers of alcohol and enforce family rules that underage drinking is not acceptable. Our mission is to create a safe and drug-free environment by raising awareness, educating, and supporting positive change for the community and youth. Do you want to learn more? Would you like to get involved in working to prevent another tragedy? Please join us at our next meeting scheduled for Thursday, September 13th at 6:30 p.m. at the Edgerton Library.

Dear Editor, This is Alyssa Onley and my trip to Washington D.C. was awesome. I wanted to thank you again for helping me be able to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference.

Bill Gridley appeared before the town of Albion planning commission on September 4th seeking approval for plans to add a canopy and a 1,500 square foot addition to his industrial plastics molding facility. He had more important things on his mind than expanding his business, however; namely, saving the business and the jobs it provides for area residents. Gridley, owner of Vico, Inc., located at 411 Goede Road, told the commission that Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) employees recently unveiled tentative plans for re-designing exit 160 as part of the I-39/90 expansion project slated to begin next year. Those plans call for re-placing the existing cloverleaf design with a longer, diamond-shaped design which, in conjunction with the addition of two lanes to I-39/90, will force Gridley, whose land abuts the roadway, to move expensive solar panels he installed earlier this year. “It’s frustrating,” said Gridley, noting that he purchased the facility when it was run down, cleaned it up, and developed it into a successful business. “I do 20 percent of my business in China. I could close this place and make three times as much over there. But I have a passion for doing it here.” Gridley added that the re-design would force the Edgerton Oasis to move a large sign that it spent $150,000 to acquire and erect last year in order to attract more business. chair Claude Commission Rademacher sympathized with Gridley. “We need to push back on them or good tax-paying people are going

to lose part of their business that employs people.” Gridley told the commission he would contact a former classmate of his who convinced DOT to modify its plans for the construction of the I39/90 Avalon exit south of Janesville to address landowner concerns, and report back to the commission. The commission thanked Gridley and approved his application. In other news, the town board directed clerk Julie Hanewall to contact Dane County’s Zoning Division because the county continues to issue building permits for structures that require a driveway under town ordinance without telling applicants they must first obtain a driveway permit from the town. The board also approved a proposal by public works supervisor Andy Decker to patch Albion Road and to pulverize and re-surface Bliven Road from the Albion municipal airport to the intersection with County Road X. Construction will be handled by B.R Amon & Sons of Elkhorn, whose bid of $174,000 was the lowest received. Decker told the board that surveying has been completed and maps will soon be drawn for the proposed widening of Hillside Road. He said it was unlikely the project would begin this year because he and his counterpart with the town of Fulton are still wrangling with DOT over whether savings from leaving the bridge over I-39/90 on Goede Road in place will be applied to reduce the project’s cost. The Hillside Road project is dependent on the towns of Albion and Fulton jointly accepting state grant money; once accepted, the grant money will be available through 2017.

would get up and get cleaned up and have breakfast then would go to a class then go tour something then go have lunch then go to class then have dinner and then to class and then got to go to our rooms at 10:00 p.m. to relax before lights out at 10:30 p.m. A lot of the classes were fun and interesting but a few were boring. I would have to say the best part of the trip was seeing the White House and meeting new people. I can’t believe how big the White House is. I really thought we would have been closer but it was still a good site. My roommates were from Alabama and Louisiana. Besides the two of them I met some nice girls (that I hope to keep in contact with) from Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey, and New York. I also enjoyed visiting the different memorials like the Lincoln Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial. We also got to have dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe which was pretty cool. If I had to choose something that I didn’t really care for I would say the Harper’s Ferry. I didn’t find it as interesting as all of the other places. Thank you again for this great experience that I know I will never forget and I am sure it will come in handy some day.

On behalf of the members of NFIB/Wisconsin, I am pleased to inform your readers of our endorsement in support of Evan Wynn’s candidacy for re-election to the State Assembly. According to a study by the respected PEW Research Center, small business is the most trusted institution in America. More than churches. More than colleges. More than state or federal government. More than banks and financial institutions. And, certainly, more than labor unions and big business. Seventy-one percent of Americans say small business has a positive effect on the way things are going in

Soccer

Hello: I’m calling in response to the Sound Off that was in last week’s paper regarding the soccer, high school soccer game. Whoever called in had their facts completely wrong. I was in attendance at that game and even though I don’t have a student who plays on the high school soccer team, I saw many spectators who were not only school district employees, don’t have children on the high school team, I saw two school board members, one teacher was there and Dr. Mark Coombs, high school principal. So, the person who sent that Sound Off should get their facts straight before calling in and being so critical.

America. You place a high value on the support and confidence of the small business owners of your district. We will be contacting our 106 members located in the 43rd Assembly District reminding them to vote and support the candidacy of Evan Wynn. Bill G. Smith NFIB State Director Dear Editor,

In my letter about Evan Wynn’s attendance record my point was to question why he keeps bragging about a bill that he was not around to vote on. I understand that people miss meetings and work for various reasons, but what we have here is a Legislator who is continually taking credit for a bill he did not even vote on. The fact that he calls out the Assembly Democrats for staging a filibuster is his way of not taking responsibility for missing a crucial vote. Wynn should be thanking the Democrats and Andy Jorgensen for pulling his bill and getting it passed, which could not have been done if they were in fact conducting a filibuster. Instead he chooses to be disingenuous by continuing to brag about his accomplishments and not telling people the entire story. In other words, without the efforts of the Democrats, including Andy Jorgensen, this bill would have never been pulled or passed. These are the facts that Wynn likes to conveniently leave out of the story. Just please give some credit where credit is due. Anthony Galston

Because of redistricting, residents of the new 43rd Assembly District will choose between two incumbents, Andy Jorgensen, a three-term veteran and Evan Wynn, a first-termer. Making that choice may be hard, but since they both have a voting record we can start there. Andy wants to preserve and strengthen public schools. He says ‘investments in our schools are investments in our future.’ He has a record of voting against deep cuts to public education. On the other hand, Evan has voted to expand the use of vouchers to let more people use tax dollars to pay the tuition at a private school of their choice. Are private schools really best for our children? Let’s look at what we know. Parents care about their children’s education. They want to know about school performance and who is teaching their kids. All public schools must report test results and have their teachers licensed and pass background checks. This ensures they are well qualified and that our kids are safe. So here’s the problem. Private schools don’t have to report test results and their teachers don’t even have to be licensed. And thanks to Evan Wynn they aren’t subject to any background checks either. We have no way of knowing how kids are doing, who is teaching them and whether they are safe. I, for one, don’t think that’s a good return on my tax dollar. And that’s why I’ll be voting for Andy in November, and I hope you will too. Amy Calkins Edgerton

State Supreme Court to hear Lake Koshkonong Case

Submitted by: Brian Christianson, Lake District Chairman Lake District says ruling will have statewide impact on private property rights on all impounded lakes. After waiting 3 years on the Appellate Court and facing uncertainty over whether the State Supreme Court would grant their petition, the Rock-Koshkonong Lake District (RKLD) has achieved their first goal; to present their case at the highest level. The State Supreme Court is scheduled to hear Rock-Koshkonong Lake District v. DNR immediately following completion of a case scheduled for 9:45 a.m. today (9.5.12). Brian Christianson, Lake District Chairman, said despite rulings against RKLD at Rock County Circuit Court and the Appellate Court, their case is strong and previous court decisions were expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Supreme Court is really the best court to determine legislative intent behind state statutes,â&#x20AC;? said Christianson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our team believed Judge Dillon implied as much in his decision. And when the Appellate Court could not reach a decision after two years, then asked the Supreme Court to take the case from them, it confirmed our Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to see this through to the end.â&#x20AC;? The Appellate Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request was rejected by the State Supreme Court and following another year of deliberations, their ruling was finally issued. The RKLD immediately petitioned the Supreme Court for appeal, and their case is one of 6 cases accepted from 68 total petitions received by the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is at stake today is the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obligation to protect private property,â&#x20AC;? said Christianson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the DNR orders artificially low water levels on Lake Koshkonong, mandating dam gates be opened in summer and drawn-down in winter, it impacts more than riparian property owners on our lake and river; every property owner on an impounded lake in the state is damaged by this DNR power.â&#x20AC;? Christianson said the DNR and its allies have picked wetland protection as their priority under administrative rule NR 103, and given less consideration to state statutes and the Public Trust Doctrine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under DNR interpretation, this state agency could theoretically drain every man-made lake in Wisconsin to create more wetlands,â&#x20AC;? said Christianson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think about the billions of dollars of lost property valuation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This case is not about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;enhancingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lake Koshkonong,â&#x20AC;? said Christianson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is about protecting our property values and promoting balance among all user groups, statewide.â&#x20AC;?

Lake Koshkonong case to set important precedent

Submitted by Clean Wisconsin, Wisconsin Wetland Assoc. and Wisconsin Lakes The Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on whether the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has the authority to consider water quality concerns when setting lake levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The outcome of this case will affect the DNRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to protect the quality of our lakes,â&#x20AC;? said Elizabeth Wheeler, staff attorney at Clean Wisconsin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The health of thousands of Wisconsin lakes rests on this decision.â&#x20AC;? Lake Koshkonong is a shallow reservoir on the Rock River near Edgerton in Southern Wisconsin. Petitioners have asked the DNR to raise lake levels to provide better boat access to lakefront property owners. The DNR denied the request as raising lake levels would flood valuable wetlands, which help absorb floodwater, improve water quality and prevent harmful algae blooms. Petitioners brought the case to court in an effort to limit DNRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority to consider wetland impacts when determining lake levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Protecting water quality in lakes is clearly within the authority of the DNR,â&#x20AC;? said Erin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, policy director at Wisconsin Wetlands Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're confident that the Supreme Court will uphold the statutes which require the DNR to consider how wetlands keep Wisconsin's lakes healthy and protect adjacent property from floods. Any other outcome would be devastating to Wisconsin's lakes and citizens." Clean Wisconsin, Wisconsin Wetlands Association and Wisconsin Lakes filed an amicus brief in support of the DNRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority to consider wetland impacts and water quality under state statute and the constitutionally protected Public Trust Doctrine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wetlands play a critical role in cleaning up our waters and preventing the smelly, green algae blooms that plague so many Wisconsin lakes,â&#x20AC;? said Wheeler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The irony is that if the wetlands are flooded and the water becomes polluted, few people will want to boat on Lake Koshkonong.â&#x20AC;?

Care Center set for renovation

By Michael Gouvion Reporter Staff

The Edgerton Care Center, located at 313 Stoughton Road, is planning out renovations that would upgrade its air conditioning and heating systems as well as other mechanical and aesthetic changes. Leah Wilkins, an administrator at Edgerton Care Center, said the renovations also include new roofing, architectural improvements, new plumbing and a new electrical system, which will all improve service and efficiency. Wilkins said there will be a meeting in the middle of September with Community Living Solutions from Appleton, Wis., to solidify a start and end date. She added that the start date could be as early as late September. Some of the renovations might force some residents to move to an open room down the hall, but will not force any residents to move out, Wilkins said. According to Wilkins, who has worked at Edgerton Care Center for 12-plus years, the building currently being used by the care center has been around since 1970 with minimal renovations during her time. The first building was built around 1923, going through several different phases before its current phase. Wilkins said there is no final

Health tips from Mercy Edgerton Medical Center Submitted By: M. Javaid Akbar, MD

The importance of your blood pressure numbers. Many of my patients have concerns about high blood pressure, and rightly so. High blood pressure affects more than 72 million Americans. That’s 1 in every 3 adults. The following information from the National Institutes of Health (nihseniorhealth.gov) clearly spells out what you need to know about blood pressure. Blood pressure numbers Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Your blood pressure changes throughout the day. It is usually lowest when you sleep and rises when you wake up. It also can rise when you are excited, nervous or active. Blood pressure is given as two important numbers. Usually they are written one above or before the other, for example, 120/80 mmHg. If your blood pressure is 120/80, you say it is 120 over 80. The 120 is the systolic number, and 80 is the diastolic number. A blood pressure reading of 120/80 mmHg or less is considered normal. Usually, the lower, the better, although very low blood pressure can sometimes be a cause for concern and should be checked by your doctor. A systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher, or a diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or higher, is considered high blood pressure, or hypertension (the medical term for high blood pressure). If either your systolic or diastolic

blood pressure is higher than normal (120/80) but not high enough to be considered high blood pressure (140/90), you have pre-hypertension. Pre-hypertension is a top number between 120 and 139 or a bottom number between 80 and 89 mmHg. Other blood pressure concerns About two out of every three people over age 60 who have high blood pressure have isolated systolic hypertension. This means that only the top number, the systolic pressure, is high (140 mmHg or higher). Isolated systolic hypertension can be as harmful as when both numbers are high. You may have it and feel fine. The “silent killer” High blood pressure is often “the silent killer” called because it usually has no symptoms. Sometimes headaches can occur. Some people may not find out they have high blood pressure until they have trouble with their heart, kidneys or eyes. When high blood pressure is not diagnosed and treated, it can lead to other life-threatening conditions, including heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and kidney failure. It can also lead to vision changes or blindness. Treatments are available for the different types of high blood pressure. Talk to your health care

provider about ways you can lower your blood pressure and prevent health problems.

Edgerton’s Chilimania sizzles

Page 6

Edgerton’s 23rd annual Chilimania – set for Sept. 8 on Henry Street, one block off the junction of Highways 51 and 59 – will be a sweet and spicy combination of chili and music. One of the largest chili cook-off contests in the Midwest, Chilimania attracts more than 60 cooks yearly. The non-profit group has provided $90,000 to Edgerton and its residents in the last two decades through scholarships and community improvement donations. “We grew up here,” said Chilimania President Bruce Morris. “We’re part of the community and we enjoy helping those that help us come back year after year. It’s great that Chilimania is a mainstay for Edgerton residents – whether they are here year-round or just here on the weekends.” A main ingredient of Chilimania is, of course, the top bands that grace

the event annually. Headlining this year is Chilimania’s favorite – Pink Houses – on stage at 9 p.m. This band features home-grown talent, including Edgerton dentist Tom Reitz as lead singer, and is known throughout the Midwest for its John Mellencamp renditions. Pink Houses is the only John Mellencamp tribute band to play Mellencamp’s hometown of Seymour, Ind., two years in a row. This band has a Rock-n-Roll bloodline that spans ten years. Warming up the crowd before Pink Houses will be Johnny Russler and the Beach Bum Band, performing 5:30-8:30 p.m. and featuring Caribbean rock, reggae and calypso. The Beach Bum Band has traveled across the country performing on stage with Jimmy Buffett as his backup band for charity events from North Carolina to Wisconsin to Ne-

braska. Since 2002, the group has provided pre-show entertainment for Buffett concerts throughout the Midwest. Entertaining the crowd from 2 to 5 p.m. will be the West Side Winders. (formerly known as the Sidewinders). This band features a mix of rock-a-billy, blues, surf, swing, honky tonk and hard rock guitar tunes. The Monday Morning Dixie Band also will perform at the event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For the 16th year, Chilimania will be a Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI) event and will simultaneously host a CASI-sanctioned chili grind cook-off and a traditional (open) chili cookoff. Chili cookers from throughout the Midwest and as far away as Texas are expected to compete for top prize in both categories.

The Edgerton Reporter, Edgerton, WI 53534, Wednesday, September 5, 2012

Chefs may enter either contest, or both, for one entry fee. The festival opens to cookers at 7 a.m. with a cook’s meeting at 10 a.m. A salsa contest will also be held from noon to 1 p.m. Registered cooks are welcome to bring their homemade salsa and chips for judging. Additionally, Chilimania is again host to the 2012 Wisconsin State Championship CASI Cook-Off – an event ongoing since 1998. Chili tasting begins at 3 p.m. After paying for admission, visitors can pick up a chili tasting cup from various locations throughout the festival grounds. Visitors are then allowed to sample as many varieties of chili as their heartburn can handle, while quantities last. Beyond chili, there are plenty of activities for the kids in the family with a jumping booth, nickel toss and a variety of other children’s games running from noon to 5 p.m. Chilimania gates open to the public at 11 a.m. and all activities can be enjoyed for a $6 admission fee at the gate. Children under 12 are admitted for free only when supervised by an adult. For more information, check out www.chilimania.com or call 8843358 (days) or 884-4307 (nights).

Fall art exhibit at Janesville JPAC

The theme is “Do You See What I See,” an abstract art exhibit by Janesville Art League (JAL) members. This exhibit will be at JPAC, 408 South Main Street, from Monday, September 10th until Monday, October 19th. Each piece will have a written interpretation by the artist. The challenge to the viewer will be to decide what they see and compare that to what the artist was expressing. There are no wrong answers. Each abstract piece will be seen differently by every individual. “Do You See What I See” will be a colorful, fun way to enjoy and view art in many forms. A quote from Steve J. Miller, “abstract art is art that does not have a definable focus. It is art that exists through patterns, colors, texture and line without the need for an external motivation.” So, it is fun, enjoyable and can be whatever you see. Join JAL members and explore the exhibit “Do You See What I See.”

Elephant-sized steam engines, belching smoke and occasionally letting out fierce whistles, marked the 56th annual Rock River Thresheree Reunion in the Rock County town of Fulton this weekend. Some 15,000 people attended the event, which began as a celebration of antique farming techniques way back in the 1950s. Even though people struggled with 90-degree temperatures and the dust reigned supreme, the magic of times past won out in the end. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Words and pictures by Mark Scarborough

The Rock River Cannon Ball, a staple at the Rock River Thresheree for decades, was once a steam train used in post World War II Germany. The train has been refurbished to resemble something from the 1870s.

Drive with Caution!

Please Watch for School Buses

The Edgerton Reporter, Edgerton, WI 53534, Wednesday, September 5, 2012

Page 11

Kids, the school bus and you School bus safety tips from the National Highway Traffic Administration and U.S. Department of Transportation For millions of students nationwide, the school day begins and ends with a trip on a school bus. The greatest risk is not riding the bus, but approaching or leaving the bus. Before children go back to school or start school for the first time, it is essential that adults and children know traffic safety rules. Drivers • When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch out for children walking or bicycling to school. • When driving in neighborhoods with school zones, watch out for young people who may be thinking about getting to school, but may not be thinking of getting there safely. • Slow down. Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in neighborhood. • Slow down. Watch for children playing and congregating near bus stops.

• Be alert. Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic. • Learn and obey the school bus laws in your state. Learn the “flashing signal light system” that school bus drivers use to alert motorists of pending actions: • Yellow flashing lights indicate that the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles. • Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate that the bus has stopped, and that children are getting on or off. Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop sign is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving before they can start driving again. Children • Get to the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. • When the bus approaches, stand at least three giant steps (6 feet) away from the curb, and line up away from the street.

• Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says that it’s okay before stepping onto the bus. • If you have to cross the street in front of the bus, walk on the sidewalk or along the side of the road to a point at least five giant steps (10 feet) ahead of the bus before you cross. Be sure that the bus driver can see you, and you can see the bus driver. • Use the handrails to avoid falls. When exiting the bus, be careful that clothing with drawstrings, and book bags with straps don’t get caught in the handrails or doors. • Never walk behind the bus. • Walk at least three giant steps away from the side of the bus. • If you drop something near the bus, tell the bus driver. Never try to pick it up because the driver may not be able to see you. Parents • Teach children to follow these common sense practices to make school bus transportation safer.

After a solid victory in week one, the Edgerton Crimson Tide football team came up just short against their rival Evansville/Albany, losing to the Blue Devils 21-14 in the last couple of minutes. Evansville senior running back Michael Johnson had a huge day against the Tide defense, running for over 200 yards, including a 79-yard game winning touchdown with 1:46 remaining in the fourth quarter. “He’s so elusive but we were div-

ing and grabbing air and not keeping our feet,” Tide head coach Mike Gregory said. “It’s poor tackling but he made some great cuts and you get to the edge with a kid like that, it’s lights out. “It’s too bad it came down to that. I was hoping we could get to overtime and maybe do something, but a 79-yard run just breaks your back. That’s devastating to lose like that.” Gregory admitted that Evansville controlled the line of scrimmage most of the game, limiting what his team could do on offense and allowing 279 total rushing yards to Evansville.

The scoring started when Evansville’s Owen Schoenenberger scored a touchdown with 1:26 left in the first quarter. Edgerton responded in the middle part of the second quarter when wide receiver Lucas Gregory caught a ball and ran it in for an 80-yard touchdown. However, Edgerton missed the extra point, making it 7-6. The Tide took the lead 14-7 when running back Jacob Grams scored from a few yards out and Ricky Williams converted the two point attempt. Gregory said Grams did a great

job filling in for the injured Peter Linsley, who is out for the year with a torn ACL. “It’s a tough break because you fill in with Grams but Grams is also your lead linebacker, so now you put double duty on him and that wears him out,” Gregory said. “He gave us everything he could. “You don’t just lose a back like Peter [Linsley] and not drop off. Jacob gave us everything. He ran hard, scored a touchdown and battled through it.” Gregory added that he will have to find a way to get Grams more of a

break because of how exhausted he gets throughout the game. Evansville came back to tie the game with 3:36 left in the third quarter before winning in the last couple minutes of the fourth quarter. Edgerton finished with 16 first downs compared to Evansville’s 11. Edgerton also gained 108 yards rushing on 29 carries and 227 yards passing, completing 16 of 39 passes. Individual leaders for the Tide included Grams, who rushed for 96 yards on 21 carries with one touchdown. Gregory led the Tide in receiving, catching four balls for 100 yards

and a touchdown. Sutton DeVoll went 10 for 27 under center for 178 yards and Brooks Johnson was 6 for 12 for 49 yards. Edgerton (1-1) takes on Brodhead/Juda (0-2) Friday at home.

Brielmaier tied for second with 76’s. Edgerton standout Brooke Ferrell finished in a three-way tie for fourth among individuals with a 77. The Tide senior had two birdies and shot a 38 on the front nine and a 39 on the back nine. Edgerton’s Shelby Weger fired a career-low 94 that included 47’s on both the front and back nines. Zartman said Weger was a model of consistency, carding eight 5’s and a 78 on the front nine and seven 5’s and two 6’s on the back nine. “Consistency is what we talk about with the girls, and that is what she did,” Zartman said. “It is good to see her playing well.” Lauren Splitter turned in a 5049–99 and Erica Richardson had a 5753–110 to round out the scores for the Tide. Brianna Kruckenberg finished with a 63-58–121, but her total was not included in Edgerton’s team score. The Edgerton girls raised money for the Crusade for a Cure by getting sponsors to donate 10 cents for each stroke they had at a recent tournament in Portage. “The girls were able to raise a significant amount of money for the cause in addition to the great golf they played,” Zartman said. “We’d like to

thank the people who donated. We appreciated the support they showed.”

“We have put ourselves in a heck of a spot,” Zartman said. “We will need to run the table to win it. That said, I still like our chances.” Edgerton’s Brooke Ferrell and McFarland’s Erin Culver shared medalist honors with 39’s. McFarland’s Anna Dunn was third with a 45, while Edgerton’s Lauren Splitter was third with a personal-best 46. The Tide’s Erica Richardson broke 50 for the first time with a 49. Edgerton also got a 54 from Shelby Weger. Freshman Cianna Kruckenberg turned in a round of 57, but her score was not included in Edgerton’s team total. “We played some pretty good golf today,” Zartman said. “It was not good enough. But we are headed in the right direction. The next Rock Valley mini meet will be played at Glen Erin on Sept. 10.

Tider golf a big part of Crusade for a Cure By Bob Samuelsen Reporter Sports Consultant

MADISON–The Edgerton High golf team went to work both on and off the course for the Crusade for a Cure girls golf tournament. It started with the Crimson Tide raising $645 for breast cancer awareness and concluded with Edgerton finishing a very respectable 14th in the 18-team tournament, which was played on August 28 at Maple Bluff. Perennial state power Madison Edgewood won the tournament with a 325 team total. Hartland Arrowhead and Green Bay Notre Dame tied for second with 346 totals. Edgerton shot a 380 total. “This tournament has got some pretty heavy hitters,” said Tide coach Steve Zartman. “There is nothing to hang your head about. It is a great score. “That is kind of a bench mark for us. If we play 380 or better, that is where we want to be. There is obviously room for improvement, but that is a good position for this time of the season.” Edgewood’s heavy hitters also had Tide golfer Brooke Ferrell chips onto the green in Edgerton’s meet last week against Lakeside Lutheran High School in Lake Mills. the individual champion in Tess Hackworthy with an even-par 74.

Stricker ties for 13th, selected to Ryder Cup team By Bob Samuelson Reporter Sports Consultant

NORTON, Ma.–Rory McIlroy erased a three-stroke deficit to overtake Louis Oosthuizen and win the Deutsche Bank Championship. The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland birdied five of his first eight holes to take the lead. He opened up a three-shot lead on the 12th hole in the second event of the FedEx Cup playoffs, and then had to hang on as Oosthuizen made a late charge. The South African birdied the 13th and 15th holes to pull within a stroke with three holes to play, but Oosthuizen had to settle for a second-place finish when his birdie putt slid by the 18th hole. McIlroy closed with a 4-under 67 at TPC Boston and finished at 20under in picking up his third win of the season. Oosthuizen finished at 19-under. With his third-place finish, Tiger

Woods won $544,000 and became the first player in PGA Tour history to amass more than $100 million in career earnings. Steve Stricker closed with a 70 on Monday and tied for 13th at 8-under 276, earning $145,000. The Edgerton native played the front nine in 3-under but then bogeyed the 11th hole and double-bogeyed the 461-yard, par-4 12th hole. He moved to 1-under for the day with a birdie on 15. Stricker turned in rounds of 69 on Friday and Saturday and followed that with a 68 on Sunday. His third round included six birdies and three bogeys. He bogeyed the second hole and then strung together birdies on Nos. 5, 7, 9 and 10 before bogeying the 11th and 14th holes. Stricker then closed out his round on Sunday with birdies on 16 and 18, which put him at 7-under 206 and in a tie for 16th with 18 holes to go. He stood 19th on the leaderboard

after opening with the first of his 69’s on Friday that included three birdies and one bogey. Stricker played the front nine in 2-over on Saturday. He birdied the 5th hole but followed that with a double-bogey on the par-4 6th and a bogey on the par3 8th hole. Stricker got hot and played the back nine in 4-under with birdies on Nos. 10, 12, 14 and 18.

Compton liked a lot of what he saw even though his team was winless on the day. Edgerton lost all three of its matches to finish fourth in the Watertown Quadrangular here on Aug. 27. Madison LaFollette went 3-0 to win the tournament. Watertown fin-

ished 2-1, while Watertown Luther Prep was 1-2 and Edgerton 0-3. Edgerton was blanked by LaFollette, 7-0, and lost matches to Watertown and Watertown Luther Prep by identical 5-2 scored. But Compton, who is in his second season as Tide coach, had a smile

Stricker chosen for Ryder Cup

Stricker was named by Davis Love III to the U.S. Ryder Cup team on Tuesday. Stricker was one of four players Love, the U.S. captain, selected after eight golfers had already made the team based on points. Those eight golfers include Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson, Jason Dufner, Keegan Bradley, Webb Simpson, Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar and Phil Mickelson. Along with Stricker, Love also

Good, but not good enough

LAKE MILLS–It is beginning to sound like a broken record for Edgerton High’s girls golf team. The Crimson Tide played well but not well enough. It happened again in a Rock Valley Conference mini meet that was played at the Lake Mills Golf Club on Aug. 29. Edgerton shot a 188, which is the second lowest total that a Tider team has fired since the 2009 season. “That is a darn good total,” said Edgerton coach Steve Zartman. But it was not good enough as McFarland carded a 178, which is the second lowest team total in Rock Valley history. Edgerton fired a 171 back in 2009. “McFarland shot lights out,” Zartman said. And it may have shot the lights out on Edgerton’s hopes of repeating as Rock Valley champions. McFarland now leads the season standings with 23 points. Edgerton is second with 20.5 points, while Cambridge, which fired a 198 at Lake Mills, is third with 16.5 points with only two mini meets and the Rock Valley tournament to be played.

named Dustin Johnson, Jim Furyk and Brandt Snedeker to the the U.S. team, which will compete against Europe’s best players Sept. 28-30 at Medinah Country Club near Chicago. Woods also is rumored to like playing with Stricker, which may have been a factor in Love’s decision. Woods and Stricker have a 6-2 record when paired together. Another factor might have been the quality golf Stricker is playing this year. Stricker has seven top-10 finishes this year, including a top finish at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and a second place finish at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational. Stricker’s highest finish in a major this year came a few weeks ago at the PGA Championship when Derek Carrier makes his only catch of the preseason against the he finished 3-under par for seventh Seattle Seahawks for seven yards. Carrier was cut last week. place. This will be Stricker’s third Ryder Cup appearance.

Carrier released in final cut Edgerton’s Derek Carrier was one of 18 players waived or released by the Oakland Raiders on Friday to reduce their roster to the 53-man limit. Carrier, who was signed as a non-drafted free agent, was one of four wide receivers who were cut. The 22-year-old Carrier played on special teams and as a reserve wide receiver during the Raiders’ four preseason games. His only re-

ception went for seven yards and came in Oakland’s final exhibition game against Seattle. Carrier, who stands 6-4 and weighs 238 pounds, had a brilliant four-year career at Beloit College, where he re-wrote the Buccaneer receiving record book. Oakland, which was one of the last teams to announce its cuts, still has two spots remaining on the its practice squad.

STOUGHTON–Edgerton High had the top finisher in six events while posting an 82-45 non-conference win over Stoughton in a junior varsity girls swim meet here Thursday. Individual winners for the Crimson Tide (1-1) are Stacie Young in the 200-yard freestyle (2:42), Karissa Finco in the 100 freestyle (1:15.58) and Michaela Delzer in the 100 breastroke (1:30.41).

“Even though it began with a forward dive, that is a very good time for a relay split The final eighth-place finish came in the 400 breastroke relay, where Mickey Delzer, Ashley Mikulcik, Richardson and Becker turned in a time of 6:01.63. Edgerton also finished ninth in one relay event, 10th in three others, and 11th in one. “We need to come into a meet like this with more intensity,” Olson said. “We did not have as many PRs as we wanted.”

finished eighth in seven other events. “Relays are difficult,” Olson said. “A lot of times you have one or two stronger swimmers, but you need four. “We need to improve our depth. We need to push that.” Schieldt, Hayley Krause, Haley Wileman and Sara Becker were clocked in 2:04.18 while finishing eighth in the 200 freestyle relay. The combination of Sweeney, Johnson, Wileman and Frey also placed eighth in the 400 medley relay with a time of 5:07.23. A group of youngsters in Schieldt, Autumn Forss, Ava Gard and Elaina Prestil also finished eighth in the 1,000 freestyle crescendo with a time of 14:19.55. It was the same story for Johnson, Wileman, Frey and Lauren Richardson, who finished eighth in the 200 butterfly relay with a time of 2:19.61. And if that is not enough, the Tiders were also eighth in the 100 freestyle relay with the combination of Becker, Schieldt, Natalie Stanek and Stacie Young, which turned in a time of 6:26.12. It was a busy meet for everybody as Sweeney, Johnson, Frey and Katie Wilkinson also placed eighth in the 400 backstroke relay in 5:02.79. Frey anchored the relay and turned in a blistering 1:02.54 split. “She had a split that could be a state qualifying time,” Olson said.

sets with the Lancers’ Madeline Westberg and Grace Blechl hanging on for a 6-3, 5-7, 10-8 win over Rachel Davis and Danielle Nelson. But otherwise it was not close. “They just ran us over,” Compton said. “We just got smoked.” But there was nothing smoking in the matches against the Watertown schools unless Compton was talking about the wild No. 1 singles match against Watertown. Here Edgerton freshman Emily Mogden came from behind to pull out an electrifying 4-6, 6-1, 17-15 win over Izzy Kemp. “We had a few crazy matches,” Compton said. Another one of those came in a three-set match at No. 1 doubles, where the Tide’s Rachel Davis and Danielle Nelson downed Kelsey Pirkel and Kensley Loppnow, 7-5, 16, 10-8. Davis and Nelson were also 7-5, 62 winners over Kelsie Tupper and Bekah Johnston in the No. 1 doubles match against Watertown Luther Prep. The Tide’s Julia Stone came from behind to win the No. 3 singles match, 3-6, 6-2, 9-4. Edgerton nearly had a third victory as the Tide’s Martina Pettit won the first set 7-6 and had a commanding 41 lead in the second set against Kelly Wegmann but ultimately lost the match at No. 4 singles by injury default. “We played three Division 1 schools and competed very well against them,” Compton said.

get swept in straight sets, but the Crimson Tide managed to win only 14 games in a 7-0 loss to Whitewater here Thursday. “They were tough,” Edgerton coach Brad Compton said of the host Whippets. “They dominated pretty much everywhere.” Nobody was more dominant than standout Michala Whitewater Schramm, who improved her season record to 15-0 with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Ashley Albright at No. 1 singles. Schremm is now 44-1 over the last two seasons, with her only loss coming in the sectional finals of the WIAA Division 2 tournamament last year when she was playing No. 2 singles. The day’s most competive match came at No. 2 singles, where Whitewater’s Chelsea Niemuthdet was a 62, 6-3 winner over freshman Emily Mogden. “We’ve got a lot of first- and second-year girls playing varsity,” Compton said. “They are still learning.” The loss dropped Edgerton to 0-2 in the Rock Valley Conference and 03 overall. The Tiders opened the Rock Valley dual season two days earlier with a 70 loss to defending-champion and preseason favorite McFarland. Edgerton again lost every match in straight sets and scored more than two points in only one set. That came in the match at No. 4 singles, where McFarland’s Katie Heitman downed Martina Pettit, 6-4, 6-0. In the most competitive doubles match, McFarland’s Joelle Meeting and Sarah Ali were 6-2, 6-2 winners over Rachel Davis and Danielle Nelson, 6-2, 6-2. McFarland was again dominant.

Cross country teams looking forward to home meet The Edgerton Reporter, Edgerton, WI 53534, Wednesday, September 5, 2012

By Michael Gouvion Reporter Staff

Cross country head coach Adam Gould said the Monroe Invite would be an eye opener for both his girls and boys teams and it seems he was correct. The girls team finished eighth place overall out of eight complete teams with 228 points, 82 points behind seventh place Mount Horeb. Dubuque Wahlert High School from Dubuque, Iowa, took home first with 48 points. The boys team finished in ninth place out of nine complete teams with 235 points, 41 points behind eighthplace Stoughton. Dubuque Hempstead, also from Dubuque, Iowa, took home first with 48 points. However, Gould said he couldn’t have asked for any better effort out of his runners on each team. “Overall, everybody is giving 100 Drinking Water Month

percent effort,” Gould said. “We may not be where we want to be as a team yet, but I can’t ask any more from them at this point.” On the girls’ side, senior Cassie Chapados was the top individual finisher for the Tide, taking 29th place with a time of 14:39. Junior Gloria Weger finished second on the team, 47th overall, with a time of 15:17. Other places and times for the girls include freshman Erin Chapados, 50th (15:29), freshman Sophie Izydor, 64th (17:00), freshman Addy Gausman, 69th (17:33), sophomore Jessi Salgado, 72nd (18:12), freshman Anna Farrington, 73rd (18:13), and junior Anneliese Syder, 74th (18:37). Gould was quick to compliment the finishing sprints of Salgado and Farrington and also Erin Chapados for gutting out the rest of the race after experiencing an injury midway through the race. “Everyone gave everything they

Page 15

could, so we’ll take any kind of little victories we can there,” Gould said. On the boys’ side, sophomore James Fox finished in 18th place with a time of 18:20. Other varsity runners included junior Diante Williams, 39th (19:30), sophomore Ethan Fox, 59th (21:19), junior Logan Laskowski, 62nd (21:30), sophomore Jason Hataj, 64th (22:14), junior Jacob Kaufman, 67th (23:19), senior Hubert Skertchly, 69th (23:53), and junior Mark Klubertanz, 70th (24:03). Gould said James Fox and Ethan Fox did quite well at the race and that Laskowski continues to drastically improve his times from last year, including a four minute drop in this race compared to the same race from 2011. Gould was also happy with junior varsity runners sophomore Jared Heil’s and senior Nikolas Zanter’s times of 20:51 and 22:23, respectively. “[It was] really their first chance Edgerton’s 7th Annual

of getting on to varsity and they stepped up to the plate and did just fine,” Gould said. To improve overall team finishes, Gould said both teams have been working on running more as a team in practice, pushing each other to the finish. Gould added the teams have solid individual runners but the mid- to end-of-the-pack varsity runners need to start moving up. “I’ve been really stressing that every person counts, every runner on the team can make a difference,” Gould said. Upcoming races for each team include the meet at River Valley on Saturday and their only home meet of the year on Tuesday. The meet at River Valley will consist of about 30 teams, which will be broken down into two divisions in which Edgerton will be placed in the “large school” division, where the Tide will take on powerhouses such

as Madison LaFollette and Sun Prairie. For the girls, Gould said many top runners in the state will be participating in that meet, so he said he is hoping that will pull some of the Tiders along and make it a learning experience. For the boys, Gould said three defending individual state champions will be there, including Division I Madison LaFollette’s Chandler Diffee, Division II New Glarus/Monticello’s Ryan McCoy and Division III Darlington’s Tyson Miehe. “They’re going to have the opportunity to see some amazing runners and our goal is to go in and get some PRs, show some improvement, enjoy the day and make it a learning experience,” Gould said. Edgerton’s only home meet on Tuesday should be exciting for each team, Gould said. “We’re hoping to have some good

AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 17 SECTION 17.05 “DISEASED TREES” OF THE EDGERTON CODE OF GENERAL ORDINANCES, CITY OF EDGERTON ROCK AND DANE COUNTIES, WISCONSIN Alderperson Ron Webb introduced the following Ordinance and moved its adoption:

THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDGERTON, ROCK AND DANE COUNTIES, WISCONSIN, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS

SECTION 17.05 DISEASED TREES. (1) PUBLIC NUISANCE. The Common Council, having determined that the health of any tree within the City that is threatened by a fatal, contagious disease such as Dutch Elm Disease or Emerald Ash Borer, hereby declares the following to be public nuisances: (a) Any living or standing diseased tree or part thereof infected with a disease or which harbors any disease carrying agent. (b) Any dead, diseased tree or part thereof, including logs, branches, stumps, firewood or other material in which a disease carrying agent can harbor. (2) INSPECTION. The Building Inspector shall inspect or cause to be inspected all premises and places within the City periodically to determine whether any public nuisance as defined in sub. (1) exists thereon, and shall also inspect or cause to be inspected any tree or wood reported or suspected to be infected with a contagious disease. (3) ABATEMENT OF NUISANCE. (a) If the Building Inspector upon inspection and examination determines that any public nuisance as herein defined exists in or upon any public street, alley, park or other public place, including the terrace strip curb and lot line, within the City, and that the danger to other trees within the City is imminent, he shall immediately cause it to be removed and burned or otherwise abate the same in such manner as to destroy or prevent as fully as possible the spread of the disease or the insect, pests or vectors known to carry such diseases. (b) If the Building Inspector determines with reasonable certainty that any public nuisances as herein defined exists in or upon private premises and that the danger to other trees within the City is imminent, he shall immediately serve upon the owner of such property, if he can be found, or upon the occupant thereof, a written notice to abate such nuisance within 30 days of the service of said notice. If such owner or occupant does not abate or provide evidence of suitable treatment of said nuisance within the time limited, the Building Inspector shall cause the same to be abated. No damage shall be awarded to the owner for destruction of any tree, wood or any part thereof pursuant to this section. (c) If the Building Inspector is unable to determine with reasonable certainty or not a tree in or upon private premises is infected with a contagious disease, the Inspector shall notify the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture at Madison, Wisconsin, and shall proceed as provided in par. (B) upon receipt of a positive report from the department. (d) In all cases where the Building Inspector shall determine upon inspection that any public nuisance as defined herein exists in or upon any public or private premises, but that the danger to other trees within the City is not imminent because of dormancy, he shall make a written report of his findings to the Common Council and shall proceed as provided in sec. 27.09(4), Wisconsin Statutes. (4) TREATMENT OF DISEASED TREES. Whenever it is determined in accordance with sub. (4 2) that any elm tree or part thereof is infected with a contagious disease, the Building Inspector may cause to be sprayed or otherwise treated all high value trees of similar species within 1,000 foot radius thereof with an effective pesticide; providing such treatment shall be performed during the appropriate season. (5) ASSESSMENT OF COSTS OF ABATEMENT AND TREATMENT. (a) The entire cost of abating any public nuisance with regard to diseased trees or of treating any diseased tree or part thereof may be chargeable to and assessed against the parcel or lot abutting on the street, alley, boulevard or parkway upon or in which such tree is located or the parcel or lot upon which such tree stands. The cost of abating any such nuisance or treating any diseased tree or part thereof which is located in or upon any park or public grounds shall be borne by the City. (b) The Building Inspector shall keep strict account of the costs of work done under this section and shall report to the City Administrator all work done for which assessments are to be made, stating and certifying the description of the land, lots, parts of lots or parcels of land and the amounts chargeable to each lot or parcel and such amounts shall be levied and assessed against said parcels or lots in the same manner as other special taxes. Before such assessments are entered on the tax roll, the Common Council shall hold a public hearing on the proposed assessments and shall give advance notice in accordance Section 4.11 of the City of Edgerton Code of Ordinances. (6) TRANSPORTING OF WOOD PROHIBITED. No person shall transport within, into, or out of the City any infected wood or material without first securing the written premises of the Building Inspector. (7) INTERFERENCE WITH BUILDING INSPECTOR. No person shall prevent, delay, or interfere with the Building Inspector or any of his agents or employees while they are engaged in the performance of duties imposed by this section. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect after its passage and publication.

School has once begun and the first day of school always brings much excitement for those attending kindergarten or going into middle school or even into high school for the first time. I’m sure last night everything was laid out so nothing would be forgotten today for most children. Tonight, I’m sure parents won’t have any trouble getting the little tikes into bed as I’m sure they will be pretty exhausted. Drive with extra caution as someone might run out into the street without looking and accidents like that aren’t what parents want to hear about. The long weekend brought many vacationers to our area. The Rock River Thresheree that started on Friday and ended on Labor Day drew many visitors all interested in seeing the old steam engines, plus a large flea market, lots of food and lots of dust due to being so dry. We went Saturday afternoon just mainly for the parade at 2 p.m. but did make a few purchases we spotted. When getting back to our car, well, it was a different color due to all the dust and required a wash job. Saturday evening, we headed down to the Clubhouse for Bingo with many residents in attendance. Everyone was having a great time, all trying to win before the person next to them. Thanks to Lorraine for heading the evening with great help from Cherie, Debbie, Michele, Ken and Al. Great fun!! Sunday brought more invites as we stopped by Lorraine’s house for a little bit, then off to Stoughton where my son, Erie was cooking up a storm for his birthday the following day. Lots of really great food, felt stuffed before heading back home for a small break. Due to our lawn still in need of watering, we turned on the sprinkler, sat on our colorful deck, just enjoying the day when all of sudden we were quite surprised that we had three

humming birds hovering in the sprinkled water for quite some time. I don’t ever remember having three at one time, but know how to have the sprinkler on after the sun goes down some so the birds can enjoy it. Sunday evening, we were back at the Clubhouse to hear Rockstar DJ/karaoke perform and there were lots of our own “singers” performing, even the younger generation had their turn to sing for us. The weather couldn’t have been better with a full moon coming up over the lake, unforgettable view!! The temperature was perfect making it I think the best weekend the entire summer. This weekend it is Chilimania and I think the weather should be nice for Saturday. It depends on which television station you watch, none of them really forecast the same so it’s all up to the jet stream what it will bring. Make sure to stop by Highwood’s booth, sample the chili and vote for us for People’s Choice once again. Birthdays this week are, on the 6th, Avery James who comes up just about every weekend and Brian Danielson, a local merchant, on the 7th, Dave Miranda, another weekender, former resident, Nancy Mueller, a Rockford friend, Sue Michliak and my own birthday, the 8th, Pete Seitz, Truman Smillie near Washington D.C., and Sandy Curry, and the 12th is Becky Phillips, Billy Olson and Jenny Pritchard of Fort Atkinson.

About 100 spectators came, including reporters from the Edgerton Reporter, Janesville Gazette, Wisconsin State Journal and other newspapers. In 1958 and 1959, the show was basically a fundraiser for the local Fulton Church. In 1960, the church turned the show over to the steam enthusiasts and the show was moved to American Legion Park in Edgerton. That same year, the club reorganized as Rock River Thresheree, Inc, with first officers elected.

Rinehart said. Rented homes that Rinehart owns at 319 and 317 W. Fulton St. will be torn down to create parking, Rinehart added.

Back to School Night at Edgerton Community Elementary School, held at the Elm High Drive building on Aug. 30, attracted hundreds of students and their parents. Jenna and Eric Gresens arrived with their daughters Carmen, seven years old, who is attending second grade this year, and Masame, five years old, who is entering kindergarten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have this before the first day of school,â&#x20AC;? Eric Gresens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way of getting everything settled ahead of time. My kids are excited for school to start.â&#x20AC;? Masame thought that kindergarten might be slightly unsettling, but was also wondering about all the things she could make and do there. Carmen, who loves to make books, was most happy about the idea of going to recess and eating lunch. For Julie Gregory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; teacher of a multi-age, first- and second-grade class â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Back to School Night represented an opportunity to meet many of her former students yet again and welcome new youngsters to Edgerton Community Elementary School. She

has taught at the school for 16 years. Checking out her classroom were the Krohn family of Edgerton, mother Alyson and father Shawn, and their children, nine-year-old Olivia, starting fourth grade this year, and six-year-old Sam, attending a multi-age, first-and-second-grade class. Olivia was both scared and excited about the first day of school, held Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2012. Why was she scared? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of new kids in my class,â&#x20AC;? she said. Why was she excited? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to see my old friends.â&#x20AC;? Asked if he had any thoughts about the first day of school, Sam thought a long while and finally said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nope.â&#x20AC;? Alyson Krohn was especially happy with Back to School Night because it gave her a chance to bring all her youngstersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; school supplies to the school before the first day rush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means a lighter back ache and less stuff in the backpack,â&#x20AC;? she added. At Katy Ellefsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multi-age, first-and-second grade classroom, the teacher was excited to meet her students, both new and old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I miss

them,â&#x20AC;?she added. The best part of teaching is â&#x20AC;&#x153;watching the kids grow up and learn things,â&#x20AC;? Ellefson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to see those light bulbs go off.â&#x20AC;? Edgerton Community Elementary School has a student population of roughly 760 this year, compared to about 130 students attending Yahara Valley Elementary School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always trying to make connections with parents early on,â&#x20AC;? said Dennis Pauli, superintendent of schools at the Edgerton School District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back to School Nights let us answer questions. Where is the classroom? Where is the bathroom? Where is the right locker? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teachers can make an immediate connection with parents and meet students. Anxiety is significantly reduced.â&#x20AC;? For Alice Redalen, associate principal at both elementary schools, Back to School Nights allow parents and teachers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;form positive relationships right away.â&#x20AC;? Students can bring supplies and â&#x20AC;&#x153;get settled in,â&#x20AC;? Redalen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone becomes familiar with the school house and the classroom. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive experience for all.â&#x20AC;?

Smiley told the Edgerton Reporter that the complaint was unsubstantiated in an e-mail sent Tuesday, Sept. 4. Smiley also noted that the completed investigation regarded â&#x20AC;&#x153;quality of care and treatment.â&#x20AC;? Smiley did not reveal any details of the complaint, suggesting that the newspaper submit a written Freedom

of Information records request to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Chicago. The newspaper has submitted a Freedom of Information request for documents pertaining to the investigation.

Hospital investigation done: Complaint â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unsubstantiatedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

A recent complaint made against the Edgerton Hospital and Health Services, involving an investigation of the hospital by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, was â&#x20AC;&#x153;unsubstantiated,â&#x20AC;? according to Stephanie Smiley, communications director in the office of the secretary of the state department.

is expected to cost about $100,000 less, Rinehart said. Construction may start as soon as September 2012, with major tuckpointing needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to get it done by July 2013,â&#x20AC;? Rinehart added. Challenges for the project will include removing deteriorating building materials on the west side of the building, Rinehart said. Overall, the roof at the structure seems good, although some leaking areas will need

to be fixed and reshingled, he added. Half of the basement at the new proposed apartment house has already been finished in concrete, making interior work easier, Rinehart said. The parking lot for the current West Fulton Street apartment house features 23 parking spaces, with an additional 25 to 27 parking spaces expected to be added with the new parking lot, Rinehart said.
