County conservationist spells out problems with Pinnacle dairy application

By Tony Ends Editor

MONROE — Green County Conservationist Todd Jenson laid out eight deficiencies last Thursday in Pinnacle Dairy’s bid to milk 5,000 cows in eastern Green County.

An attorney for the Tuls family, which wants to construct the huge facility in Sylvester Township east of Brodhead, met with Jenson last Thursday.

Jenson first went over areas of incompleteness in Pinnacle’s application in a public update for Green County Land Conservation Committee members.

Jenson read from an email list of incomplete application areas, which he sent to Tuls family representatives last Wednesday.

“There are no manure spreading contracts,” Jenson stated.

“These need to be a minimum of 4 years in length, signed by Pinnacle dairy, the landowner and the renter, if applicable.

“The contracts need to be recorded at the Register of Deeds office,” stated Jenson, adding that soil samples submitted for fields in the vast land base Pinnacle Dairy needs to spread manure were also problematic.

State guidelines under the 2004 siting law regulate concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). They require soil samples in an applicant’s land

base be tested in state-approved labs. Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) recognizes only five labs for testing soil samples.

Some soil samples in the Tuls’ application do not indicate the lab where they were tested; at least one lab listed in the samples is not DATCP approved, said Tonya Gratz, a Green County Land Conservation technician, helping review Pinnacle dairy’s application.

“From what they submitted, out of 7,587 acres in the application, only 21 percent are good for writing this nutrient management plan,” Gratz told the committee last Thursday. Only 48 percent of the soil samples – on 3,686 acres – are within five miles of the proposed largescale facility’s site, Gratz said.

The Tuls family already milks at least 15,000 cows in three other huge operations. One is in Rock County, southeast of Janesville. Two others are in townships near Lincoln, Neb. Attorney Leah Ziemba of Michael Best and Friedrich for the Tuls family responded to Jenson before the Green County conservation committee last week. Data used in the Pinnacle Dairy application had been used because they thought it more valid, Ziemba said.

crop consultants who were certified,” Ziemba said. “They followed regulations.

“Those samples that were not acceptable were very recent. We will submit them to a DATCPapproved lab. We don’t expect the samples to change,” she said.

Jenson advised the Tuls’ attorneys that the new soil samples would need to be pulled and retested. He listed six other areas in which the Pinnacle Dairy

application was found to be incomplete.

There were no records of soil borings taken, Jenson stated.

Land conservation staff need to know munsell colors (dimensions identifying soils’ hue, lightness and color purity), unified soil classifications and depths that either groundwater or bedrock occurred.

Pinnacle Dairy submitted its application about a week-anda-half prior to the meeting last week. Jenson said he would begin to review the operation’s plan for a large dairy in eastern Green County once he’s received material presently found incomplete.

Hydrogeologist says rocks matter to Green County water

By Tony Ends Editor

MONROE — If you think the history of what you stand on near your well doesn’t matter, you may be drinking the truth one day.

Hydrogeologist Dave Hart from Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey shared a glimpse into the underground of Green County last week.

At the county’s Land and Water Conservation Committee meeting, Hart’s show and tell Dave Hart, Wiscould be summed up consin Geological & Natural in a simple phrase: History Survey rocks, and how they underground, hydro geologist. got matter – a lot.

“Is it sediment? Is it clay or silt? Sand?

Contaminant susceptibility depends totally on these determinations, as to how the soil system is weighted,” Hart told the committee and a good number of concerned residents of Green County.

“Different rocks and sediments have different hydraulic properties. If it has high hydraulic conductivity, water can move easily through it. Shale, sandstone, granite – all of these rocks are present in Green County.”

Mountainous glaciers of ice that moved back and forth across much of

Wisconsin did not affect terrain in northwestern Green County. Eastern portions of the county, however, were glaciated, layering rock and sediment formations below the soil’s surface.

Industry, development and human activities above ground today, may greatly affect water we draw up through a particular historic soil profile. It can also carry contamination down through a profile of fractured bedrock to our drinking water supply.

Karst geological regions that glaciers left across more than 40 percent of Wisconsin can send manure miles through fractured bedrock in minutes. Thicker, layered sediments to bedrock may provide more protection and filtering, Hart said last week in his talk to a packed meeting room.

“Albany Well No. 2 is 376 feet deep, and gets its water from the Wonewock Formation of sandstone. Its well also has a steel casing 216 feet deep,” Hart said, which helps protect village water supply from anything seeping down through higher layers of rock and sediment.

“Monroe Well No. 6 is 1,766 feet deep, drawing from the Mount Simon aquifer.

That provides lots of separation from other layers,” he said.

Albany, with little more than 1,000 population, draws about 25 million gallons of water a year, roughly 70 gallons of water per person. Monroe’s population area of 11,000 draws about 600 million gallons per year from its aquifer. That’s about 150 gallons per person annually.

These figures reflect all uses within a municipality, Hart said. Monroe’s cheese plant, craft brewery and ethanol plant may be some of its water users that push up per capita water figures for the municipality.

A large dairy operation tending to 5,000 cows could use as much as 50 gallons per day to water and wash livestock, Hart said. In a year, that would draw 91 million gallons of water from the water table.

Scientists with the geological survey have been studying soil systems and providing subsoil mapping and analysis for communities around Wisconsin.

“We’re doing this in a Kewanee County township that has some concerns over manure impact on groundwater from a large dairy,” Hart told the Green County committee in Monroe last week. The geological survey has also been providing sub-soil study to rural communities affected by high capacity wells.

It typically takes 2 to 3 years to develop this sort of hydro geological information, Hart said. The cost can run as high as $80,000. “It takes a while to get a funding package to pay for this work and to line up staffing,” he said.

A water table elevation map shows which direction ground water is moving and ground water susceptibility to contamination. “Soils are the biggest impact on a system. Land use has some impact, but soils are the biggest,” Hart said.

State lawmakers are discussing changes to permit regulations for high capacity

Sandstones, granite, shale and other layers of rock or sediment are all found in portions of Green County’s subsoil, yet in different formations as old as the Ice Age. They may facilitate – or filter – contamination of ground water, according to Dave Hart, a hydro geologist who spoke in Green County last week.

wells. The issues relate to whether such state permits should last forever, even in the event of well failure or other changes affecting groundwater.

On Oct. 7 the State Senate Agriculture Committee held a hearing on Senate Bill 239 regarding high capacity wells.

This bill would also allow farmers to repair, replace, or reconstruct their high capacity wells without needing further approval from the DNR. It does not permit DNR staff to periodically review permits where problems may stem from a high-impact well.

Climate change has surely affected our gardens and fields here in southern Wisconsin.

Temperatures have become extremely variable. They’re even more unpredictable than any of us can recall. A forecast of 39 for the last Friday night in September was worrisome.

Yet it was the first time this fall we’d felt that fear grip our souls. And not until this middle of October have we heard threat of frost again.

What was normal for most of 21 years at Scotch Hill Farm, was a series of frostings, increasingly more pervasive across our plantings, increas-

A warm spell often followed first frost. For weeks through the rest of fall, it made us harvest what food was left from around blocks of blackened, withering plants. So many vegetable beds had been turned in a single night to goo in a blanket of freezing, glistening moisture.

Cover crop field day helps turn barren soil to healthy purpose

By Tony Ends Editor

SYLVESTER TOWNSHIP — Randy and Chad Kesler’s farm east of Brodhead is one of two that Green County is featuring in a cover crop field day next Tuesday, Oct. 20.

Keslers’ plantings along County Highway SS are featured in the afternoon of the daylong event next week.

The field day starts out earlier, however, at 9:30 a.m. on the Ron and Ryand Syse Farm.

That farm is on West County Highway H near Blanchardville.

“There is a National Resource Conservation Service initiative to promote soil health,” said Green County Land Conservation technician Tonya Gratz, who is co-spon-

soring the cover crop field day with NRCS. “Cover crops fulfill all four principles of healthy soils,” Gratz said. “They provide a living cover to make the soil productive, infiltrate water better and give essential bugs a boost in the soil life.”

Cover crops also help us disturb the soil as little as possible, keep plants growing through the year, and diversify as much as possible the rotations with other crops, she said.

The Keslers have planted radish, crimson clover and oats as cover crops on land where they harvested small grains this past August.

Gratz was able to connect them with Heritage Seed Company in Madison, which provided 10 lbs. of Austrian

winter peas and 5 lbs. of Berseem Clover to expand demonstration of cover crops for the field day.

LaCrosse Seeds has provided other cover crop seed varieties featured in the upcoming Green County field day.

Johnny’s Selected Seed, in Winslow, Maine, has a detailed chart of nearly 30 varieties of “farm seed” and cover crop seed it sells to producers at this time of year.

The chart lists specialized uses, from smothering and inhibiting weeds, to suppressing insects or attracting pollinators, to increasing yields and cutting reliance on chemical fertilizer.

The chart lists seeding rates, soil depth for planting and minimum germination temperatures.

Johnny’s is a privately held, employee-owned seed company that got its start in the mid-1970s.

Albert Lea Seedhouse in Minnesota also sells a good bit of cover crop seed in the Upper Midwest. It has been selling field-scale seed in the region since the 1920s. Its nine cover crop mixes offer a broad range of uses to complement wider rotations and boost soil health and fertility.

A survey of more than 1,200 farmers across the country revealed that cover crops boosted corn yields last year by a mean of 3.66 bushels per acre (2.1 percent). The survey also showed that cover crops helped increase soybeans by an average of 2.19 bushels per acre (4.2 percent).

This research, funded by

through the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program, was the third year in a row a yield increase following cover crops was recorded. The Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC) conducted the Cover Crop Survey.

Average acres of cover crops per farm reported in the surveys have more than doubled over the past 5 years.

Staff demonstrations of conservation practices as part of the field days will go over infiltration, runoff potential and slake test use with participants. The slake test shows how soil holds up under different practices against water.

REFERENDUM UPDATE There are two referendum questions that are being considered for the spring of 2016.

The first question is related to facility needs that are centered around four key areas. The first area is safety and security, the second addresses curriculum and instruction needs, the third is technological needs, and the fourth key area is building needs, both exterior and interior. The second referendum question considers rising operational expenses. State law requires that Juda’s referendum goes with a request for additional funds, but state law also requires that facility and operational funds be requests in separate referendum questions.

Juda has a volunteer Community Advisory Committee of

about 20 members who are learning more about the district’s needs, considering potential projects. They are helping make recommendations to the School Board. If there are any questions, contact Juda Schools at (608) 934-5251. Also, check the school website at judaschool.com for information about the committee meetings.

Last month on Sept. 22, fourth-graders from the Albany School district enjoyed attending the Food for America event sponsored by the Brodhead Future Farmers of America program.

The event took place at the Spring Grove Dairy southwest of Brodhead. Participating students from many districts were divided into groups that moved through stations. Stations included Wisconsin food crops, honey bees, animal care and nutrition, hunting/trapping and a visit to the milking parlor. A lunch of submarine sandwiches, vegetables, chips and an ice cream treat were provided. The students had a beautiful day, learning and exploring many aspects about Wisconsin’s agriculture industry, according to school staff.

Albany resident named to commission MONROE — Green County Circuit Court judges James Beer and Thomas Vale have named Wayne Albertson Jr. of Albany and Richard Maliszewski of Monroe condemnation commissioners.

Their 3-year appointments to the five-member panel became effective Oct. 1.

By state law in Wisconsin, county circuit courts appoint local commissioners to determine just compensation for property being acquired

for public use.

Wisconsin’s Legislature has specified condemnation can be used when public entities need to construct or improve a highway, reservoir, dam, public utility site, waste treatment facility, city redevelopment and energy lines.

When public entities cannot negotiate terms for acquiring land directly from property owners, they can request a hearing before a condemnation commission.

USDA awards $285,000 in Wisconsin to help rural businesses

STEVEN POINT — Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack last month awarded $20 million through 385 grants to support the start-up or expansion of rural small businesses. Ten of the grants, totaling $575,000, are being awarded to organizations serving rural Wisconsin.

“These grants will strengthen the economic fabric of our rural small towns and communities by providing capital to small and emerging businesses,” Vilsack said.

USDA is awarding the grants through the Rural Business Development Grant program. Recipients may use the funds to provide technical assistance, training, and jobcreation activities.

Wisconsin projects include: Easter Seals Wisconsin, Inc. (Madison) - $21,000 grant to work one on one with disabled entrepreneurs to evalu-

ate their self-employment ideas for potential start-up businesses.

Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council Inc. (Lac Du Flambeau) - $99,999 grant to provide technical assistance to Native American business owners of eight Wisconsin Tribes.

Indianhead Community Action Agency, Inc. (Ladysmith) - $47,975 grant to provide technical assistance and training to small and emerging businesses in northwestern Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Business Innovation Corporation (Spooner) - $57,500 grant to provide technical assistance to help small and emerging private businesses in northwestern Wis. Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation (Milwaukee) - $67,034 grant to technical assistance to help small and emerging private

businesses in a 12-county area of the state.

Funding of each award announced today is contingent upon the recipient meeting the terms of the grant agreement.

USDA’s Rural Business Development Grant Program is one of several that support rural economic development. Since the start of the Obama administration, USDA’s Rural Business & Cooperative Programs have helped 85,000 rural businesses.

USDA Rural Development’s funding continues to have a dramatic impact on rural communities across Wisconsin. Since 2010, USDA Rural Development has invested more than $3.5 billion on essential public facilities, small and emerging businesses, water and sewer systems, and housing opportunities in rural Wisconsin communities.

USDA Rural Development’s mission is to deliver programs in a way that will support

increasing economic opportunity and improve the quality of life of rural residents.

As the lead federal agency for rural development needs, USDA Rural Development can help rural communities and regions grow and prosper by offering a variety of financial and technical assistance programs that encourage the development of strong community and economic development strategies.

During this past year, USDA Rural Development’s $571 million investment in Wisconsin helped create or retain nearly 1,380 jobs, aided 3,600 families in buying their own homes and assisted more than 50 communities as they made improvements to their facilities, services and infrastructure.

Further information on USDA Rural Development is available at a local USDA Rural Development office or by visiting the web site at http://www.rd.usda.gov/wi

A new building rising at Orfordville’s Highways 11 and 213 crossroads will be three businesses in one. “The Station” will sell gasoline, convenience store fare and Subway sandwiches. Target date for completion is Dec. 15.

Orfordville gets new station, store and Subway ORFORDVILLE — Francois Oil Company, in partnership with Jon Onsgard of Earth Construction, is working through the warm fall weather to complete a new gas station, convenience store and Subway restaurant by mid-December.

The 5,000-square-foot structure is rising at the busy junction of State Highway 213 and US Highway 11 on the edge of Orfordville.

The Francois family got its start in the gasoline service station business in Belleville in the late 1930s. It has expanded across 75 years to 13 fuel outlets called “The Station.”

The Francois gas stations are in Dodgeville, the Madison area, New Glarus, Evansville and Janesville.

The family has also operated a Ford dealership in Belleville since the 1950s.

In some of the other gas stations, Francois partners variously with Godfather’s Pizza, A&W and Milio’s Subs. The store in Orfordville will be licensed to sell beer and liquor.

The mix of business services set to open in Orfordville will employ 20 people, some full and others part time.

The Orfordville station will have diesel fuel, as well as gasoline, and off-road diesel fuel for agricultural, landscape and construction machinery.

Firefighter training participants at Blackhawk Technical College removed two houses in practice fires at the site last year.

Green County youth learn to conserve

By Tony Ends Editor

MONROE — Ten is a great year of life for a child to learn about conserving what’s most important in this world.

What would the world be like without soil – healthy, biologically active, life- supporting soil? Or trees, clean water, fish, native plants, wildlife, an understanding of who came before us?

Green County Land Conservation staff must understand how important these lessons are and can be for 10-year-olds.

Their Youth Conservation Day makes these lessons happen for them.

Between 120 and 130 fifthgraders from three schools in Monroe and Monticello, Stateline Homeschoolers too, took part in the fall Youth Conservation Day sessions, Oct. 2.

In the coming spring, Juda, Albany and more Monroe schools are set to take part in the second Green County Youth Conservation Day, scheduled for Friday, May 6. Brodhead’s par-

Green Rock Audubon hears incredible history of Horicon’s survival

Volkert worked for Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for 27 years as a naturalist and wildlife educator at Horicon Marsh.

BELOIT — Imagine a single flock of 20,000 geese taking flight from a wetland and filling the sky above your head with wings and clamor.

Anyone in southern Wisconsin can experience that and so much more with a lovely seasonal drive to Horicon Marsh.

For an amazing evening earlier this month, former Horicon naturalist Bill Volkert brought the vast wetland’s best and worst moments in history to Beloit.

Volkert was featured speaker at Green Rock Audubon’s annual meeting and dinner in Bushel & Peck’s Local Market.

From prehistoric animals and Ice Age trails to nearly complete ruination by man, over and over again, Volkert hit home significance and import of the largest fresh water cattail marsh in the United States.

Technology can’t help us break from habit

D

o you ever have a “DUH?!” moment? I doubt I’m the only one who’s a little slow sometimes to see the obvious. We humans are such creatures of habit.

For example, I unload the dishwasher from the top down.

I pull out the top rack and put away those items, usually glasses and plastic containers and their lids.

Then I pull out the bottom rack with the plates and bowls, then I do the silverware which is in its own holder in the door, making a third bottom layer when the two racks are pulled out and the door is open flat.

In my dishwasher, plastic items on the top rack, those containers that we use for leftovers, do not fully dry. The lips around them and the lids hold water.

When I grab them from the top rack sometimes water spills out onto the open door which holds my silverware. I then have to towel dry the silverware before I put it away.

I know, you are already a mile ahead of me here. Yes, it has taken me nearly four years of living in this house with this dishwasher to DUH! –empty out the silverware rack first.

Kelly Simmons COLUMNIST

If I put my forks and knives away before pulling out either rack, they will stay clean and dry. The silverware rack comes out of the door so I can remove it and put it on the counter first thing.

The machine is designed to make my life easier, but I stay stuck in my rut, my pattern of doing things the way I have always done them.

There is no right or wrong. I can do my way of top down and not be bothered if water spills on the clean items below. Or I can get out of my foggy daze and see that a tiny tweak makes me feel better. Silverware first.

DUH. A tiny tweak. We see that when we arrange furniture.

Moving the couch over just an inch and turning that chair in the corner at an angle just a smidge makes the whole room feel suddenly perfect.

Such is life. We don’t have to radically shift (sometimes that can be beneficial) to have aha moments that lead to life being easier, smoother, more efficient, more fun. Recognizing that we can do something ever so slightly differently creates a ripple effect.

“Well, that’s just the way I do it” can morph into “hmm, what happens if I do it this way?”

The dawn of realization that we can create new habits that actually feel better is a good thing.

We weren’t meant to be born, learn a thing one way, and then

die. That’s boring. We wouldn’t even have dishwashers if that were the case. And we’d still be pounding our laundry with rocks down by the river.

Life continues to evolve and that means OUR LIFE. Breaking out of our habits, big and small. Seeing that we can do things a new way. Unloading the dishwasher is one tiny example.

I’m tweaking my eating and feeling great. I’m tweaking my boldness and feeling great. I’m tweaking my patience level and feeling great.

When I have a DUH moment

and see that I could do something differently that would feel better, I don’t call myself an idiot. I laugh at myself and say, “What ELSE am I blind to?”

(That’s a new pattern for me too.)

DUH moments are good. One a day would be great, to remind us that there is always a new way to see or do something. (In unison, DUH!) (Kelly Epperson Simmons loves that old dogs can learn new tricks. What are your DUH moments? Connect at info@kellyepperson.com.)

Green Rock Audubon marks 24th year serving, protecting environment

By Tony Ends Editor

BELOIT — Green Rock Audubon Society protects wildlife and native plants on 250 acres of area conservation easements, and it needs volunteers.

Board President Neil Deupree issued the call for helpers at the annual meeting of the local chapter of National Audubon Society.

Members from around the NEIL DEUPREE two counties gathered for the dinner and business meeting at Bushel and Peck’s local market Oct. 4.

Green Rock members number about 450, including Brodhead, Juda, Albany and Orfordville membership.

A core of committed individuals carries most of the responsibility for clearing brush, mowing hiking trails, torching invasive plants, all in order to restore and preserve native woodlands and prairies.

For more than 15 years, the society has held its monthly meetings in Brodhead. The group meets the first Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. in Brodhead Public Library’s community room.

Victor Illichmann, who coordinates and organizes volunteer activities, had much to share of the past year’s work during the recent annual meeting.

Not least was the planting of 1,000 trees, mostly white oak, and projected planting of another 1,000 trees in 2016.

Green Rock Audubon Society board members pictured last week, from left to right, are Dennis Rogers, Rich McLaughlin, John Watrous, Victor Illichmann, Joni Denker, Don Gabower, Tom O’Brien, John Patterson, Neil Deupree. Missing from the photo are Nadine Whiteman and Donna Oxenreider, both of Green County.

Illichmann noted time and energy of many volunteers in 2015 to restore and preserve 40 acres of prairie at the Cleophas Reserve, 24 acres of prairie and oak savannah at Gabower-Reilly Reserve, 34 acres of prairie at Spring Creek and 16 acres of woodland grasses, black walnut and white oak at Androne Woods.

Anyone who would like to help manage lands entrusted to Green Rock Audubon, can call Illichmann at 3028113, or email viccarol@ sbcglobal.net Education, as well as conservancy, ranks high on the Green Rock Audubon agenda. Talks and presentations on a wide range of conservation activities take place in presentations scheduled with speakers and special-

ists, alternating between cities of the two counties.

Green Rock Audubon’s newsletter “The Naturalist,” is available on line or in print.

It keeps members abreast of protections needed nationally, as well as locally. Most recently, it alerted members of South Carolina Congressman Jeff Duncan’s attempt to amend a routine appropriation’s bill with a prohibition to keep the federal Department of Justice from enforcing the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. “If Duncan’s amendment had been law during the British Petroleum disaster, those responsible for the largest marine spill in history would have faced no prosecution for causing deaths of an estimated mil-

lion birds,” the newsletter quoted a National Audubon official.

Activism has long been part of Green-Rock’s work.

“Jan Reimer and five others from Green County Defending our Farmland met with us in September and sought a cooperative agreement with us,” Deupree told the annual meeting.

The group, which organized this past summer, has been working with townships adjacent Brodhead and the Sugar River. Concerned local residents want to protect health and safety from concentrated application of liquid manure.

UW researchers engage in international conference on benefits of berry fruits to health this week efficacious products. The Berry Health Benefits Symposium provides a forum in which scientists, media and consumers can come together to gain a deeper understanding of the most recent advancements in berry health research,” says Chris Krueger, a UW-Madison researcher in the Department of Animal Sciences.

Put on under the auspices of the National Berry Crops Initiative, the symposium includes research presentations, a halfday workshop for non-scientists titled “The Berry Sessions,” and a tour of Wisconsin’s cranberry growing region.

The following UW-Madison researchers will be involved in the conference: • Federico Rey, assistant professor of bacteriology, will give a talk about his research on

the interactions of berry anthocyanins—the main pigments in berries that give them their red and blue colors—and beneficial gut bacteria.

• Chris Krueger, a researcher in the animal sciences department, will give a presentation on the analytical methods used to determine the authenticity, standardization and efficacy of berries and berry extracts used in dietary supplements and functional foods.

• Jess Reed, professor of animal sciences, will give an overview of the role of berries in modulating the gut microbiota and promoting gut health, and will also chair the symposium session on this topic. His work involves studying berry tannins and gut health.

MADISON — Berry researchers from around the globe are gathering in Madison, Oct. 13 to 15 for the 2015 Berry Health Benefits Symposium.

This international conference, which will be held at the Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center, is dedicated to showcasing the latest scientific research on the links between berries and health.

Presentations will cover findings related to a wide variety of health issues, including breast and colon cancer, leukemia, diabetes, gut health, metabolism, brain aging, heart health and more.

“Health-conscious consumers have come to expect that producers, ingredient providers and marketers of berry products deliver high quality and

combined more than 15,000 dairy cows presently, want to build another 5,000cow dairy in eastern Green County.

Green Rock Audubon board members voted to act as the fiscal agent for the Defending our Farmland group. This is the same service the local Audubon performed for Green Rock Citizens for Clean Water for more than a decade in its legal attempts to protect water with Magnolia Township.

The local chapter of National Audubon incorporated in 1991, and it reflects the strong, local focus, which began with state chapters in the 1890s, expanding rapidly into a national conservation society.

Blessing the pets who bless our lives in St. Francis’ memory ORFORDVILLE — Members of Orfordville Lutheran Church earlier this month commemorated the life, teachings and work of Saint Francis of Assisi.

They did so in the company of their best friends, mostly canine, and Pastor Andy Twiton.

Twiton blessed the pets of everyone who attended, in a joyful service with humans and beasts on the church lawn.

Francis, who lived from 1182 to 1226, was a re-newer of the church and was known for his love of creation and animals, Twiton said in a short homily for the occasion.

“There are stories of Francis preaching the

Word of God to a flock of birds, releasing a rabbit caught in a trap, and making peace with a wolf,” Twiton stated.

“On this day, we give thanks and offer a prayer of blessing for those animals who have blessed our lives and families.”

Not to be out-done by all of the dogs in attendance, one turtle came forward for a blessing, too.

And all lifted up prayers, “for God’s creation and its many creatures, for creatures that breathe, move and have life.

“With thanks given for the ability to love and honor the work of God’s hand, and that each pet be treasured with care.”

Orfordville Lutheran Pastor Andy Twiton’s smile says it all.

For everyone in attendance at his pet blessing earlier this month, it was the pets, especially puppies, who blessed the participants the most.

Parishioners at Orfordville Lutheran Church, and their many doggy friends, enjoyed a blessing with Pastor Andy Twiton in commemoration of the life and model teachings of St. Francis of Assisi.

MADISON — Dairy cows, carbonated fruit and virtual reality simulations are just a handful of the experiences to be had at the 2015 Wisconsin Science Festival, held this year from Oct. 22 to 25.

Now in its fifth year, the festival continues to grow, with more than 30 communities hosting activities statewide.

Laura Heisler, director of the festival and programming for the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation and the Morgridge Institute for Research, says the event has something for everyone and appeals to all ages and interests.

“If you’re interested in sports, cooking, new technology, current events — you’re consuming science whether you’re aware of it or not,” says Heisler. “They all have science at their core.”

The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) will have a big presence at the event, with faculty, staff and students participating in talks and activities covering everything from coffee to soils to gene editing.

“The festival is always a rich environment for both professionals and enthusiasts to discuss scientific issues of the day and discoveries happening in our state and around the world,” says CALS Dean Kate VandenBosch, chair of the festival’s planning committee. “This year’s ‘Made in Wisconsin’ theme offers a special opportunity to explore the science behind many Wis-

PET TALK: SIMPLE STEPS AND PROCEDURES CAN HELP TREAT RINGWORM IN PETS Although the name often misleads pet owners into thinking a worm has invaded their pet’s bodies, ringworm is actually a fungus that can affect the hair, skin and nails.

Common in cats, this fungus can lead to circular patterns of hair loss and red, scabby bumps. Before you introduce another pet into your home, knowing the facts about ringworm and how to prevent the skin condition from spreading is crucial.

Dermatophytes, fungi that feeds on protein in the skin, hair, and claws, is the agent of ringworm. Infections are transmitted by contact with infected hairs from another infected pet in the environment, or through bedding, grooming tools, and even fleas. The fungus can be passed between animals and humans, but young and elderly people are more susceptible to developing the infection. Those with weak immune systems are also more prone to ringworm.

Dr. Adam Patterson, clinical assistant professor and

chief of dermatology at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, explains the signs of ringworm.

“Clinical signs of ringworm may include excessive shedding, broken hairs, patchy or circular areas of hair loss, dander, scabs, red bumps, and occasionally deep-seated nodules,” he said.

“Some animals, especially cats, may be carriers of ringworm with no clinical signs.

Diagnosis is based on history, clinical signs, fungal culture, and possibly skin biopsy. Fungal culture is the gold standard in making a diagnosis, but it may take up to three weeks for fungal growth to appear.”

Treatment for infected animals includes limiting their exposure to other animals and people. Since it is common for some pets to be asymptomatic, all animals in an infected household should be treated and tested for the skin condition.

“Therapy is directed at killing fungus on the animal(s)

and decontaminating the environment. Unfortunately, dermatophyte-infected hairs can remain infective for up to several months, necessitating environmental cleanup of shed hairs,” Patterson explained. “If people in the household have ringwormsuspicious lesions, then consultation with a physician is recommended.”

Limiting the infected pet to other animals and people can be effective in preventing the spread of ringworm, but anti-ringworm treatments are required to eliminate the infection at its source. Shampoos, lotions, sprays, dips and systematic therapy can all be prescribed to a ringworm-infected pet.

If the animal is long-haired, clipping the coat can allow better contact with topical medicine and will remove infected hairs beftore they shed into the environment.

Besides treating your pet for ringworm, decontamination of the environment is essential to prevent further spreading of the fungus. Isolating your pet in an easily

cleaned room (no carpet) is the first step in decontaminating your home.

Wash all clothing that has touched the animal, as well as destroy or thoroughly disinfect all collars, bedding, blankets, scratching posts, cat trees, and grooming aids, if possible. Disposable dusting sheets and lint rollers can be effective in capturing loose hairs in the environment, and it is also recommended to launder exposed fabrics and pet bedding by washing twice in cold water with detergent.

Thoroughly vacuuming rugs and draperies every one to two days will also prevent the buildup of infected hair. Disinfectants like Lysol and a Clorox mixture can be sprayed on tile floors, windowsills, vehicles the infected pet rode in, countertops and any other non-porous surface.

“The goal of therapy is to achieve two to three negative consecutive fungal cultures one to two weeks apart. Unfortunately, this usually requires at least sev-

eral weeks of therapy,” said Patterson. “The risk of reinfection for a single pet is relatively low if they live indoors and the environment is cleaned thoroughly.

When adding a new pet to the household (especially cats), one should have the animal examined by a veterinarian and consider having a ringworm culture performed before bringing the pet into the family’s living quarters.”

Ringworm is contagious to both owners and pets, but the fungus can be treated through multiple methods.

If you think your pet may be infected with ringworm, have your veterinarian examine him/her since several other skin diseases can mimic ringworm.

Day’s Feed hopes to be in new building early November

By Tony Ends Editor

ORFORDVILLE — Motorists along State Highway 11 past Orfordville’s business park have been watching the progress for the new home of Day’s Feed.

Warm weather has the expanded feed store going up so quickly, though, that it’s hard to keep up with the progress.

“They have the tin almost all on it now, and the cement work done,” said Junior Day last week. “The work is supposed to be all done the end of October so that we can move in the first of November.

“We’re hoping to close here on Saturday at 3 p.m. and move in by Monday morning at 9 o’clock, Nov. 2. That’s the plan, anyway. We’ve got all kinds of family and friends set to help us make the move over that weekend.”

Day has been in his present rented building 6 years, just off State Highway 213, up the road a few miles from Orfordville.

Tony Ends photo

Construction isn’t standing still for Day’s Feed or this photo of the new store that Junior Day has been building along State Highway 11 in the Orfordville Business Park. Tin got on the building before the Register could even go to print, and Junior hopes to be open for business in early November. The new store has more than 4,000 more square footage than his present rented building, north of town off State Highway 213.

The new building expands his square footage from 2,400 feet to 6,500.

“We’re going to have just about any kind of animal feed there is. We’ll have expanded

brand names, too. We’ll have a lot more dog food varieties because we’ll have so much bigger of a show room,” Day said.

Day, at 61, is the third gen-

eration of the family to be in the feed business. His father, now deceased, started the business in 1966. “I think about him every day now,” said Day, who recalls especially his father’s

admonitions to treat others by the Golden Rule.

Day is looking forward to using a new computerized inventory program for tracking feed in the new building.

Green County Land and Water Conservation district set for poster contest MONROE – Green County Land and Water Conservation Service staff have issued the call to young people across the county to take part in the 2016 Conservation Poster Contest.

Theme for this year’s contest is “We all Need Trees.”

Posters must be entered in one of five divisions and completed by the middle of December.

For more information, contact local land conservation staff at the USDA Service Center in Monroe, 325-4195.

Or use the poster details and information below. Contest form can be found online at http://wisconsinlandwater.org/ files/events/fillable-2016_WI_ Land+Water_POSTER_Contest_Information_and_Registration9-09.15.pdf 2016 Conservation Poster Contest Guidelines Eligibility The National Conservation Poster Contest is open to kindergarten through twelfth (K-12) grade students. Artwork entered into the national competition must have been judged in a local and/or area conservation department sponsored poster contest and a state conservation association sponsored contest.

Posters not sent by the authorized state poster group will not be considered for judging.

There will be judging at the national level for all categories.

To be eligible for the national contest your state must be a state sponsor of the contest. To find who is in charge of the county poster contest visit the WI Land+Water Website http:// wisconsinlandwater.org/about/ county-land-conservation 2016 Contest Theme The National Poster Contest theme is: “We All Need Trees” Poster category by grade: K-1; 2-3; 4-6; 7-9; 10-12 The contest is open to public, private and home school students.

Contest Rules The contest rules were created so as not to limit or revise the current rules of local and state conservation poster contests: • Any media may be usedpaint, crayon, colored pencil, charcoal, stickers, paper or other materials on regular posters.

• Poster size must be between 8.5” x 11” and 22” x 28”.

• Posters should be packaged so they remain flat when sent for judging.

• All posters must be created

by an individual student rather than a team of students.

• The 2016 Stewardship title “We All Need Trees” must be on your poster. This is the only title eligible for the national poster contest.

• Each entry must have signed entry form to be eligible for judging.

• Although younger students will most likely receive help in planning from parents or teachers, WI Land+Water encourages each student to do as much of the work as possible by him/ herself.

• Each entry to state contest must have been judged at the local conservation contest and/ or area contest prior to the state evaluation/contest.

• Posters must be judged at the state level. Individual posters cannot be sent for national judging by individuals. They must follow their state’s contest rules and deadlines.

• Only official state poster contest sponsors (WI Land+Water) can mail entries for national contest.

Poster Evaluations National Poster Contest entries are reviewed by judges and evaluated on the following criteria:

• Conservation message (50%) - Poster uses correct theme • Visual effectiveness (30%) • Originality (10%) • Universal appeal (10%) - Also taken into consideration - artwork completed on poster is that of participant unless noted on entry form Local and state contest awards and sponsors will differ from state to state.

Depending on the sponsoring state’s conservation association, the national awards will be presented at a national, regional, state and/or local conservation ceremony. The winning posters will be featured at the NACD Annual Meeting.

Sponsors The National Poster Contest program is sponsored by the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) and the NACD Auxiliary. NACD, founded in 1946, is a nonprofit organization representing nearly 3,000 local conservation districts in the 50 states and U.S. Territories. The NACD Auxiliary assists NACD with informational and educational outreach efforts. The NACD Auxiliary would like to thank the Albert I. Pierce Foundation for their
