CAFO study panel lays foundation, sets goals during Sylvester moratorium

By Tony Ends Editor

MONROE — Town of Sylvester health and safety ordinance study committee members started organizing their work by tasks last week.

The committee of six township residents met in Monroe last Tuesday.

They began to organize their work in tandem with a second group, a team of scientists helping review data and documentation for Sylvester’s protections.

“We’re looking at all aspects of how a concentrated animal feeding operation, or CAFO, might impact our community’s health,” said Jen Riemer in a phone interview Sunday about last week’s study meeting.

“We’re gathering existing documentation – public health statements, UW Extension resources – toward coming up with conclusions and making recommendations to our town board,” Riemer said.

With Riemer in this work are Jacob Marty, Greg Stewart. Bethany Storm, David Schenk and Richard Tripp.

Sylvester’s Town Chair Anna Anderson sat in on the study meeting last week. She and the township’s other two supervisors enacted a 6-month moratorium on new construction of large-scale livestock facilities in September.

That action gave the study committee time to collect relevant documentation on science-based need for health and safety ordinances specific to Sylvester Township.

“We’re looking at the economics of it, the impact on social services, best management practices, the laws nec-

essary to protect health and safety,” Riemer said. “We need to know what to ask the DNR to enforce.”

The group’s goal is to complete all of this work by Jan. 18, 2016. They want to give the town’s lawyer time to review the recommendations, allowing at least 60 days for the board of supervisors’ review.

Legal recommendations coming out of the local panels’ work may establish setbacks necessary for science-based, health and safety reasons, given conditions and features unique to the Town of Sylvester.

How deep a CAFO should knife liquid manure into Town of Sylvester soils may also be recommended.

“There’s a lot of study going on around the state,” Riemer said. “They’re finding corn doesn’t soak up manure deeper than six inches. We need to look at necessary best management practices and nutrient management plans.”

In a related development, a citizens advocacy group called Green County Defending our Farmland, which got its start in Sylvester and Decatur townships, is planning its first big public meeting and gathering Tuesday, Nov. 3, at Turner Hall in Madison.

Citizens hope to persuade more of Green County’s townships to adopt health and safety ordinances to protect water and air from the impacts of large-scale livestock operations.

The Tuls family dairy operation, with 15,000 cows between three operations in Nebraska and neighboring Rock County, is trying to complete an application to build a fourth dairy to milk another 5,000 cows in eastern Green County.

Orfordville Firefighters demonstrated full gear for elementary school children during Fire Safety Week. The firefighting volunteers wanted to familiarize the children with their equipment, meant to save them, not scare them, in the event of a fire.

Fire Department visits school during Fire Safety Month ORFORDVILLE — The village Fire Department visited Parkview Elementary School on Oct. 8 and 9 as part of Fire Safety Month.

Students got to sit inside the ambulance and try out a neck brace and a stethoscope. They also learned about other gear in the ambulance and how emergency medical technicians would care for them and transport them if they were ever hurt.

For the younger students, one of the firefighters dressed up in full gear.

This helped them know what a fire-

fighter would look like if they were ever in their house during a fire. It helped familiarize them with a firefighter’s appearance, so as not to fear them in an emergency.

Orfordville Fire Department personnel also talked to the students about having a safe family meeting place in the event of a fire.

Students also learned about the different equipment that is on the fire truck and what it is used for. Older students were also able to spray the fire hose.

Who’s that knocking at the door – opportunity, or our ruin?

By Tony Ends Editor

My daddy shined our shoes.

Sunday mornings. Home from swing shifts and overtime in a soybean processing plant that paid for those shoes.

I watched intrigued from behind a bowl of corn flakes.

He gave the simple process a Hoosier’s flair. Darkening, spitting, polishing.

It was not unlike Tom Sawyer, making it all seem so easy, even fun, like whitewashing a fence, until I couldn’t wait to take over the chore.

Yet an early-morning radio show was doing all the talking. I could tell my father was listening, thinking hard, taking mental notes.

You could call it a “dollars out of sense” sort of program.

The host had a neighborly voice, conversational delivery, friendly tone. Tips on saving money, cutting costs, budgeting and planning.

And the program always ended segments with some sort of fatherly admonition to

keep ever in mind that opportunity knocks, yet we must open the door.

That’s been the hardest thing for me to figure out in life, especially the past 30 years since my father died, so young.

When is the knock at the door opportunity? When is it a pretender, courting disaster?

From national forums, to community meeting rooms, common people are struggling to discern who’s presenting, who’s pretending opportunity.

Generations of farmers, working extra hours, extra

jobs, like my father, to pay son and Washington, they for things their families need- don’t even seem to knock at ed, have tried to answer that the citizen’s door, anymore.

Juda advisory committee to look at school referendum needs JUDA – Juda school board discussed spring referendum prospects at their regular meeting last Wednesday night, Oct. 14.

Two referendum questions have been raised for voters’ possible consideration next spring.

One concerns facility needs, centered around safety and security, curriculum and

instruction, technology and interior and exterior building concerns.

A second referendum question being weighed relates to rising operational expenses.

State law requires each of these issues be put to voters in separate referenda.

Board members decided to hold another community advisory committee meeting Mon-

day, Oct. 26, starting at 5:45 p.m. The meeting will run for about an hour, followed by the Juda School Board’s annual meeting.

The school board approved an agenda for the annual meeting. They also heard: From School Superintendent Traci Davis on the civics test that all students graduating from any Wisconsin High

From Davis as regards Juda’s current student enrollment.

The district has 243 resident students, 93 open students are open enrolled and 6 part time students, for a total of 315 students. The district has 27 resident students who are open enrolled out of the district.

Wisconsin State Future Farmers of America Officer Team members joined Juda FFA for the Wisconsin Association of FFA Sectional Leadership Workshops. These workshops for Section Five took place on Sept. 30. They taught officers their respective responsibilities, how to help chapters build to their greatest potential, about national convention delegate issues and current issues facing agriculture. Pictured is the State FFA Officer Team. Jason Roth, past Juda FFA member and current State FFA Vice President, is 4th from the right.

SENIOR OF THE WEEK This week’s Senior of the Week is Megan Pollansky.

After graduation, Megan plans to attend Mount Mary University to major in fashion and design. Her favorite class is art. Megan’s greatest inspiration is her older brother, Chase.

Someday, Megan would like to travel to London.

REFERENDUM UPDATE There are two questions that have been proposed for the spring 2016 referendum.

They were addressed in last week’s column. The Community Advisory Committee has set a timeline with goals for the referendum. In November, the committee is planning to send out surveys to the community members to provide information about the district’s needs and also to ask residents’ opinions on the referendum. In December, the committee will be reviewing the surveys and finalizing a referendum recommendation.

If the referendum is recommended, in January the Board of Education will make a final approval of the specific referendum language as it will appear on the 2016 ballot.

Also, in the event the referendum moves forward, there will be public meetings in January, and informational materials will be available to educate the community about the ref-

erendum. April 6, 2016, is the projected date for the public referendum vote. Check back next week to learn about the projects being considered for the referendum.

MUSIC Mr. Smith would like to congratulate the new members of the Juda School Jazz Band: Trent Davis, Mackenzie Byrne, Hailey Kammerer, and Zoe Rathsack for high schoolers; and Trent Anderson, Lydia Bouc, and Emily Makos for middle schoolers.

PET TALK: UNDERSTANDING FELINE LEUKEMIA HELPS DEFEND A CAT’S HEALTH Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a relatively common infection in cats.

Approximately two to three percent of the United States’ feline population is infected with the virus, but symptoms are not always evident.

Vaccinations may help protect your cat against FeLV, but your understanding of the virus is also essential in defending your cat’s health.

FeLV is a worldwide infectious agent that has a substantial impact on feline health. The virus is the most common cause of cancer in cats. It can also lead to blood disorders and immune deficiencies.

While healthy cats can normally fight off everyday bacteria and viruses, cats infected with FeLV can develop severe illness from common microorganisms.

A weakened immune system hinders a cat’s ability to fight off other infections, which can lead to some of the diseases associated with FeLV, such as anemia.

Although the number of FeLV cases is dropping in the United States due to proper vaccinations and improved testing protocols, the virus is still a significant problem in this country.

Dr. Audrey Cook, associate professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, explained how FeLV spreads in a release on the illness.

“The virus is present in saliva and we think that most cats are infected during grooming activities or by sharing food and water bowls,” Cook stated. “It is also spread by biting and unscreened blood transfusions.

“Unborn kittens can also pick up the virus during gestation if the mother is infected. Fortunately, the virus is essentially unable to live in the environment for more than a few minutes, and is quickly killed by heat or disinfectants.”

Cook added that most veterinarians recommend testing new cats for the disease before allowing them to come into contact with other household cats.

Though the signs associated with FeLV vary, fever, poor appetite and weakness are often the most common symptoms.

Since cats can be asymptomatic for weeks, months, and even years after contracting the disease, routine testing is recommended even in apparently healthy cats. Cook recommends

that kittens are tested on their first visit to the veterinarian.

If an in-house test for FeLV is positive, another test should be performed through a reference laboratory to confirm the results.

Following exposure to the virus, some cats may manage to avoid infection.

A second group will be transiently infected but manage to mount an effective immune response and clear the virus.

There is some evidence that even transient (also called regressive) infection may damage DNA and predispose cats to cancer in later life.

A third subset of cats will remain persistently infected.

They will shed the virus and are likely to die within a few months of FeLV-related diseases such as anemia or cancer.

In order to prevent your cat from contracting FeLV, Cook recommends limiting the cat’s

exposure to other cats and consistent vaccination.

“The virus is primarily spread by intimate cat to cat contact, so keeping your cat inside will prevent exposure. If your cat goes outside, it would be wise to consider vaccination against FeLV,” she said. “The vaccine is generally helpful but it is not sufficient to protect a cat that lives with a FeLV infected animal.”

Healthy cats that live with infected cats have a high level of chronic exposure to the virus, making them more susceptible to contracting FeLV. Housing your cats in separate areas of the house will decrease the chance of the virus spreading among your furry friends.

Unfortunately, it is also important to keep in mind that many cats are not diagnosed until they have lived with other cats. In this case, all other cats in the household should be tested for

Siberian Husky named Cody needs home with outdoors

Cody is a new arrival to Green County Humane Society’s shelter. He’s a young Siberian Husky, male/unaltered.

Cody is a bit timid at first but warms up and becomes a very friendly dog. He seems to attach very easily. Staff have noticed that he really enjoys the outdoors. He seems to be more comfortable outside, so he would do well in a home where he can spend time both inside and outside.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Eating a serving of baked or broiled (but not fried) fish every week could stave off cognitive decline later in life, according to recent research. Participants provided information about their diet and had MRI brain scans. Experts reported that weekly fish eaters had greater grey matter brain volumes in areas of the brain associated with memory and cognition.

This confirms results of previous studies that also linked omega-3 fatty acids to improved brain health because of their antioxidant effect. Omega-3s are found in nuts, seeds and certain oils, as well as in fish.

Three counties of FFA members get leadership training in Juda

JUDA — Juda Future Farmers of America recently hosted the Wisconsin Association of FFA Sectional Leadership Workshop for Section 5.

More than 200 FFA members and advisors from Dane, Green, and Rock counties joined Juda FFA for an evening of leadership workshops and fun.

Jason Roth, past Juda FFA member and current Wisconsin State FFA Vice President, along with Mr. Ralph Johnson, Juda FFA Advisor, and the Juda FFA Alumni hosted the evening.

FFA members and advisors spent the evening going to various workshops.

The Wisconsin State FFA Officer Team presented the session to better everyone’s leadership skills.

Items needed to keep shelter caring MONROE — Green County Humane Society reported 98 animals incoming the first six months of this year.

The society was able to adopt into homes 44 of those animals, and it reunited another 43 with owners who redeemed their lost animals.

A shelter for the animals is on North Highway 81 just outside Monroe. Hours of operation are noon to 5 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday.

The shelter is closed on Monday and Tuesday, as well as all holidays.

Although FeLV is a common virus in cats, limiting your pet’s exposure to other cats and routinely vaccinating for the virus will prevent the spread of the disease.

Remember to test all new cats before allowing them into the household, even kittens. To protect your cat’s health and quality of life, understand FeLV. Consult your veterinarian if you suspect your cat has come into contact with an infected cat.

Should school district buy newspaper?

Albany study group weighs pros, cons

By Beth Blakemoore and Tony Ends For the Independent Register

ALBANY — School board members discussed the idea of purchasing the Hometown Herald newspaper in their meeting last Monday, Oct. 12.

The possibility had been brought up in several previous meetings, and school board members appear initially divided.

Proponents of the school acquiring and running the weekly were set to meet yesterday, Tuesday, Oct. 20, to take a harder look at the idea.

Dr. Steven Guenther, Albany School District Superintendent and Business Manager, reported to the board last week on prospects for purchasing the Hometown Herald newspaper.

“Teachers could fit the newpaper into current curriculum,” Guenther said. For instance, aspects of the paper’s publication could fit into an art class.

“It would give us a tremendous amount of power.”

Board President Wayne Mueller told other membes of the seven-person board he thought students should have been writing articles for publi-

cation earlier.

Board discussion regarding possible school district purchase of the community newspaper raised a number of questions. What would be done, for instance, when present Hometown Herald owner P.J. Francis stops serving as editor.

In seeking a buyer for the paper, Francis has said he wants more freedom to visit relation overseas. He’s told some proponents of the district purchasing the newspaper that he’d stay on for a year to help transition.

School board treasurer Ed Maksym said last week that he

Both had spectacular scores of 48 out of 50. The top three teams were Sauk Prairie, Albany A-Team, and New Glarus.

Top three individuals competing were Jeb Beck of Albany, Luke Heinzen of Janesville Parker, and Bryce Eichelkraut of New Glarus.

“These trap shoots are also a learning experience for the members,” said Rupp, “they are a thing these members will never forget.”

“I believe that these shoots are a fun experience for the FFA members,” said Jamie Rupp, Albany FFA advisor, “and they bring a little competition between the FFA chapters.”

Albany FFA A-Team performed very well in the shooting competition.

The team finished second overall with a lot of help from sophomore Jeb Beck.

Beck placed number one in individuals after having a shoot off with Janesville Parker’s’

supports the proposed acquisition.

“We could pay a small amount of money to hire someone outside the school to be the editor,” Maksym said, in last week’s meeting.

Francis has said the newpaper currently has 350 subscriptions.

Board member Adam Kopp was against the idea of buying the paper. ”It’s a dying art,” Kopp said. Member Sherri Cleasby agreed.

Member Becky Mather, however, liked the idea of buying the paper, but in last week’s meeting she said, “We need a concrete plan in place.”

Board clerk Fred Johnson said maybe the paper, “could be owned by someone different.”

As to how the paper would run in the summer, Guenther said students could receive credit or be paid.

Maksym suggested the board get a committee together to discuss the purchase of the paper further. This committee would include members of Albany Community First and the Parent Teachers Organization.

The study committee was to meet yesterday in the school media room.

Information posted to the digital library of the University of Wisconsin’s “State of Wisconsin Collection” recount a rich history of printed papers in Albany.

Entries on Albany’s history, written in 1983, indicate the community continuously had a weekly newspaper up to that year since 1858, excepting one 12-year stretch that began shortly after the Civil War. The weekly papers had five different names over the 125-year-period in Albany’s past.

Publictions championed many different causes and ranged widely in subject matter from romanticized fiction to poultry notes. More recent tracking of local weekly newspaper changes have not been pinned down.

cussed: homecoming, adminstrative reports, a property purchase, E.F. Tours trips, a teacher license request, and a building and grounds update.

Jacey Lyons, a student representative, reported that for homecoming students had decorated the old gym, and “the freshmen are winning for spirit week.”

Connie Gregerson, who gave the adminstrative staff reports, said math testing would be completed by Oct 16. Albany won its homecoming game in Evansville.

Robert Hack will be coming to talk with the school board about life with just one arm.

The board received communication from Albany resident Bob Gressman, who has moved into an assisted living facility and would like to sell his house on South 5th Avenue to the school district. The board voted to look into this request further.

A representative from E.F. Tours suggested Albany look into trips to England and Ireland or Italy for its students.

The representative of the tour company said the study trips could provide an ”incredible cultural experience.”

He said EF Tours student trips are all-inclusive of accommodations, meals, and admission to attractions. The price ranges from $3300 to $3500 for students.

Evansville has undertaken these trips abroad as a nonschool sponsored events, according to EF Tours. The board voted to permit the trips, but not as school-sponsored activities.

Dr. Guenther informed the board about a license request from a teacher from Puerto Rico who is seeking assistance in obtaining an in-state licence to teach school.

Maksym, who is on the board’s building and grounds committee, told the board that two bidders were going to review our facilities and “will report back and make a presentation to the board.”

Albany board marks progress on park, highway improvements

By Tony Ends Editor

ALBANY — Village President Kim Blumer did the honors for the board in their meeting Oct. 12. Together Albany’s elected board and staff recognized the contribution of Albany Middle School student Jessica Short with a plaque for community service.

Short approached the board with a request that they let her spruce up a shelter in Bowman Park, which held fond memories for her as she grew up in Albany.

“She saw the shelter needed paint, that the work needed to be done,” recalled Village Clerk Laurie Keepers. “She wanted to do this as a Girl Scout project. The village bought some paint; her family contributed, too.”

Fresh paint to the shelter, park tables, too, has been completed and enhanced with some light landscaping.

Blumer praised the outcome and Short’s hard work, initiative and time, which made it all possible.

The board also thanked her mother Theresa for her role in helping with the project. Tom Short was also on hand for the village recognition.

In other business: Village board members approved a pay request for a SCADA system to monitor wells and a lift station for village water and sewer flow.

This work is part of a water and sewer upgrade, also curb and gutter work along State Highway 59 as it winds its way through Albany.

The roadway from Monroe to the south west enters the village at the river and turns to carry traffic north and east toward Evansville.

It is particularly heavily trafficked between Memorial and Labor Day holidays, owing to the popular tubing that launch-

es from Albany. The 100-milelong Sugar River brings as many as 1,500 people a day throughout warm weather to Albany below the dam.

Albany borrowed money to complete its work on water and sewer, and its portion of Highway 59 road improvements, which totaled $680,000.

Wisconsin’s state Department of Transportation undertook Highway 59 resurfacing, and Albany wanted to complete its water and sewer upgrade ahead of the resurfacing.

State work was supposed to be completed in 2012, then pushed back again and again, Keepers said.

The monitoring system will now let village staff track water and sewer conditions electronically, even from home.

The system will alert them quickly if problems arise, from heavy rains and flooding, for instance.

Norwegian dinner helps Orfordville church keep the faith – and the culture

By Tony Ends Editor

ORFORDVILLE — How many Norwegians does it take to feed 1,800 people a ton of fish?

Back in the day, Orfordville Lutheran Church members didn’t even stop to think about it.

When there was a need in the church, everybody pitched in to prep, prepare and serve up an authentic Norwegian dinner – sometimes to nearly twice the village’s population.

“They used to come by the busload from Chicago, for two or three years straight,” recalled Mary Ehle, who started helping with the big annual dinner when she was 12 years old. “Back when I was a kid in the 1940s and 50s, my uncle was in charge of the coleslaw. I turned the handle. There were no electric appliances to make it easy.

“Convenient was not a word back then. We worked under crude conditions. They had to run a hose from the parsonage across the lawn into the church kitchen; there was no running water in the church then,” said Ehle.

In those days, Orfordville Lutheran even had outhouses and a big barn that the church owned out back.

Today, a paved parking lot on village streets behind the church awaits people who’ll attend this year’s Norwegian dinner, set for Saturday, Oct. 31.

The full benefit meal is $15 for adults, $5 for children age 5 to 12, and little ones under 5 eat for free. Food’s served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The annual benefit meal is still a home-cooked Norwegian dinner – with Lutefisk, Lefse and Scandinavian meatballs. And it’s still a big deal for people of Norwegian heritage – or not.

People come from as far away

as Westby, Iowa, Rockford.

Some relatives of Orfordville Lutheran members come long distances to the dinner, too.

“There’s getting to be less and less Norwegian influence in the area; this dinner is a way to preserve that,” Ehle said. “Cooksville used to hold a similar meal, and they no longer do it.”

Ehle paused last week from church preparations with others who hold longtime memories of the annual meal. Together they reminisced about all of the years readying this big event, and what it was all for, what it’s still all for.

“I headed it up 3 or 4 years,” recalled Delores Nelson. “We had to make sure – with a lot of telephoning that people were in place and everyone knew what to do.”

“It was good for the congregation,” added Mary Speich. “We got to know each other, to work and laugh together.”

Some other area churches that no longer have such heritagethemed annual dinners join in the work at Orfordville Lutheran’s dinner. They help wash dishes and bus tables. I’m sure they eat some, too.

The congregation is primed to make pies for a bake sale held with the meal.

Time was when parishioners didn’t buy much for the meal, contributing almost everything from garden and field to the meal – except the fish, of course. Cabbage, potatoes, and one year a whole lot of fall squash, were donated to make the Norwegian Dinner.

“The fish came in barrels from the ocean, salted and packed in lye,” said Glen Johnson, church council president.

“I remember in the early 1970s we had to go, four or five of us, to the lumber yard to get three 200-gallon cattle watering tanks.

We had to fill them with water to de-salt the fish,” added Ronnie Nelson. “We had to change the water every day for five days.”

“Now the fish comes in 50-lb boxes, pre-soaked,” said Johnson, who first got involved in the annual meal preparations in the 1970s when his grandmother Hilda Johnson was involved.

Johnson runs the kitchen now.

“You can’t over-cook lutefisk; you’ve got to watch it, or you’ve got jelly,” he said.

Johnson’s grandmother taught him to cook lutefisk and how to make Lefse, too, a traditional soft Norwegian flat bread that looks like a giant tortilla.

Peak years for the annual meal’s attendance were in 1982 and ‘83, when 1830 people a year descended on the church.

At that time, Orfordville’s population was not too much above 1,000.

Notes preserved from the past indicate church members incorporated 440 lbs of meatballs, 72 dozen rolls, 160 dozen lefse, 93 lbs of cranberries, 250 lbs. of cabbage for coleslaw, 20 lbs of coffee, 9 cases of milk, 225 pies and 135 lbs of butter into the 1982 meal.

Over the years, proceeds from the labor of love and fun, paid for many church needs – a new organ, choir robes, whatever the congregation or parsonage needed. For a time, the annual meal was suspended, but once a compelling need surfaced, the benefit dinner was revived.

For those who still remember relatives who crossed the ocean from Norway and made their way to Orfordville’s farm country, the annual meal has never been simply about making money.

It’s about heritage. It’s about a living faith. It’s about keeping a caring culture alive.

Owner is the big difference in gift store, shipping service

Tony Ends photo

Linda Adams arranges winter shawl scarves, a big seller that has sold out for her over each cold season. In her Brodhead Packages Plus business, she also features locally-made products, like milled soap, and seasonal gifts. She’s got just about anything a person needs to pack, box and ship a box

by UPS, a service that typically draws customers to her in a broad circle – from Durand to Juda, Monroe to Monticello, over into western Rock County and down to Orfordville.

Splittin Hairs

“I’m an active Brodhead Chamber of Commerce member, attending meetings and helping with planning. I’m Secretary of the Business Improvement District board. And I’ve been on the Town of Magnolia’s board of adjustment since about 2003,” she said.

“I’m community-minded.

I want Brodhead to thrive. I want people who drive through Brodhead, possibly for the first time, to look around and feel it’s truly a great place.”

Gift items Linda finds and stocks in her store do help draw visitors out looking for something to buy from small towns, something they know they can’t find in big discount shopping centers.

“Some people shop small towns where they get things they can’t purchase at Walmart,” Linda said. “You can’t fight Amazon, though. Area business was probably really good here up until about 2000.

“It’s been a slow comeback for this area. Amazon and Walmart have really cut into my business. I think Internet sales and the massive presence of Walmart have hurt a lot of small businesses.”

Gifts for all occasions, for loved-ones or friends, especially seasonal themed gifts, provide Linda’s store a niche. Gift cards – normally sold in urban areas now at shocking prices – are available in Packages Plus for just 65 cents.

Yet it’s the packaging and shipping service Linda provides that give her store its mainstay. Customers in a broad circle can easily find her in Michael Weber’s building on Brodhead’s main thoroughfare, which is also State Highway 11.

Perkins rolls into Brodhead Packages Plus everyday around 3:30 p.m., quickly delivering and taking packages.

Customers can choose from UPS Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, 3-Day Select and ground package shipping options.

Ground shipment is, of course, the least expensive option, and Linda can send out packages UPS anywhere in Wisconsin and to Chicago by 10 a.m. the next day.

“I can ship internationally.

Canada and Mexico are least expensive destinations outside the United States; packages can go by ground transportation to either country,” Linda said.

UPS guarantees air deliveries within the allotted times customers pay for. Packages travelling cross country can usually be delivered within 4 or 5 days, Linda said.

Packages Plus got its start in Brodhead in 1998, about 5 years before Linda purchased the business. She worked for the Bank of New Glarus during the time the shipping service and store were getting established.

Yet Linda didn’t like the long drive over to New Glarus from her home about 4 miles northeast of Brodhead just across the Green-Rock county line.

Since 2005, Linda’s been getting her husband John into town around the holidays, to play Santa everywhere he goes about Brodhead.

It all started when she ordered some items for children that didn’t sell well in the store. “I told John to take the mittens, stuffed animals and such out around town and just give them away to kids,” Linda said.

“John loves putting on a Santa hat and doing that,” she said. “I

BRODHEAD — A few minutes inside the door of Packages Plus, and you realize what’s missing from big box store shopping experiences 30 miles away.

Enya’s singing something soft and soothing out of the past in the background. There’s such a variety of things for sale deliberately sourced apart from anything you’d likely find in a warehouse store.

And then, of course, there’s Linda Adams, whose face I’ve

seen so often in public meetings, whose voice I heard singing so many years in church and choir.

The gift shop and United Parcel Service authorized shipping outlet’s owner is a neighbor, a family friend.

Whether you’re entering her business’ door at 1021 First Center Ave. for the first time or hundredth, you’re likely to sense that about Linda, too.

“I was open 3 months here, and I was recruited,” Linda recalls of that first year in business in 2003.

order those things for children every year now at Christmas, just to have John give them out as he sees children around town.”

John Adams, who pumped iron in his younger days and served in the military, is still very large framed. His beard now easily passes him off for Santa. And the task of handing out toys from a big sack surely brings out John’s jolly side, which entertained Spring Valley Township 4-H Club youths for years in the model plane project he led.

Linda and John raised three daughters, as they put down roots in Brodhead. Cassie’s now living and working in Texas.

Liz is out in Oregon. Gwen is living in Monroe, working part time and studying atmospheric science at UW Madison.

Linda got her friendly nature growing up on a farm in rural Brooklyn, Wis., naturally. Her dad farmed 80 acres and raised some livestock for a while, but had to opt for more steady income at the General Motor’s plant in Janesville.

Impact of that plant’s closing, loss of 11,000 manufacturing jobs that sustained so many people locally with offfarm work, is still felt across the region. It’s as much a game changer for small businesses in Brodhead as the retail giant Linda cited, with its 11,000 stores in 28 countries.

The Business Improvement District that Linda serves meets the fourth Monday of most months. It draws in an area of most businesses in Brodhead’s downtown and works to make physical changes that enhance business appeal for everyone – like flowers in pots and tree plantings on city streets.

Joint meetings are held with the Chamber of Commerce and Common Council. Public involvement is welcome, and your contribution just might make a big difference, like Packages Plus business owner Linda Adams.

Longtime Albany Edgewater Café owner and operator Roberta O’bel is proud to make everything she serves, like these fresh-baked rolls, from scratch.

– from Janesville, Brodhead, Monroe, Evansville, Madison.

Roberta’s son Greg has stepped up to bake the pies Terry used to make for the Edgewater. A daughter who worked in the restaurant 13 years before attending Blackhawk Tech to become a nurse, still balances time helping her mom. Another son helped run an Edgewater Two across the

street, until hiring on at Monroe Truck.

There are now six grandchildren and a great-grandchild, plenty of reason to keep on.

Despite rising costs and utility bills, societal changes and eating habits, the Edgewater Café’s certain to remain a testimony to the steady strength of successful business owner Roberta O’bel.

Roberta’s son Greg helps out with a slicer’s repair in the Edgewater Café. Taught to bake by his father Terry, Greg also keeps a wonderful array of fresh pies, also made from scratch, on the desert menu. Try the apple, and you’ll feel right at home.

ALBANY — Roberta O’bel turns from the grill where she and family have spent so many hours daily, cooking and feeding travelers and local folk for more than 20 years.

Her Edgewater Café anchors the village of a thousand’s downtown at State Highway 59 and Water Street on the Sugar River.

Droves of “tubers” who flood Albany’s environs in summertime have all floated and frolicked on down the river out of sight for another season.

Streets and sidewalks of Albany’s fine old buildings and parks are quiet on a warm October day.

A lull between breakfast and lunch in the silent diner gives Roberta a chance to think and speak.

There’s a lovely twinkle in her eye and a determined look.

Yet she seems genuinely mystified any publication would want to salute her for owning and operating a business so long.

“I don’t think of it as challenges,” she says adamantly.

“You just turn to it and do it.

You get up at 4 every morning, and you do it. It’s just my life.

“When we first took it over, we were open 7 days a week for more than 10 years. We’ve been closed Mondays about 8 years. Monday’s the only day we don’t need to be here to meet suppliers or cook for people over weekends.”

Roberta was born and raised on a farm near Monticello.

“Swiss, both sides.” Thoman was her maiden name.

She carried over into adult life and work what every farm family teaches its children.

As incredibly hard as it might be, as long as it takes, you just do it.

When she and her husband Terry bought and ran a 220acre farm on Burkhalter Road, Roberta drove into Monroe between her own farm chores to prep cook for her cousin’s restaurant on the side.

When they got a chance to operate their own restaurant in Albany, Roberta and Terry took it. They tried to manage the farm, too, to cash crop it after the milk cows were gone.

When Terry, a Vietnam veteran who served in the Army 8 years, succumbed to Agent Orange without any compensation from the herbicide-maker, Roberta kept going. They lost a daughter to that scourge, too.

When the worst economic crash since the Great Depression hammered businesses everywhere and kept people frightened from waves of foreclosures and layoffs off roads and at home, Roberta kept going.

“They say it’s improving, but I don’t see it,” she said.

“People don’t do what they

used to do. They just can’t afford it.

“People have changed. They used to eat out a lot more.

Maybe it’s different in bigger cities, but in a small town like this you just can’t.”

Her face brightens when the conversation turns to food and cooking.

“We make all our own jellies, pie fillings and crusts, from scratch. We cook our own

PHD Massage owner makes difference – one body at a time JUDA — Bonnie Dittmer never dreamed 20 years ago that she’d be massaging people, or their dogs, or even their horses.

She worked for Blackhawk Technical College in their learning center for nearly 25 years.

Most of that time, she worked in the central campus – testing, grant project reporting.

Yet in 2007, at a horse show over in Belleville, Ill., Bonnie felt a strong desire, saw clearly a way, that she could help animals.

It led to classes, certifications, part-time work, her own business on the side. About a year ago, finally, it led to a whole new focus, as she left work of so many years off-farm to step out on her own – at home.

“Greg Gage was at that horse fair down in Belleville in 2007, talking about his Therasage Equine Massage Certification School,” Bonnie said. “He’s the owner and instructor at Clean Sweep Farms in Milton. That was in September; I started classes in October.”

Gage started out 24 years ago massaging people, gradually

gravitating toward helping dogs and then horses with massage, too. Bonnie, now one of more than 2,000 students Gage has taught therasage, began working with horses, then dogs, and now people, too.

From Gage, she learned the anatomy of horses, trigger point therapy, massage sequences and strokes, stretching and injury prevention.

She was certified through Gage’s Therasage Equine Certification in Milton. She loved massaging horses and saw the “outstanding” results.

“Gage works with top reining horses from all over the world,” Dittmer said. “He provides equine massage therapy for horse “athletes.”

“Massage therapy for horses ensures that there are fewer chances for injury; it helps them cool down after competition.”

Bonnie proceeded to obtain her canine massage certification through Pet Massage Limited in Toledo, Ohio, in February 2008.

After receiving many requests to massage people, Bonnie enrolled at Blue Sky School of Massage in Madison in February 2010. That was a big invest-

She became a nationally certified and Wisconsin licensed massage therapist in October 2011.

Bonnie now specializes in several modalities of massage: medical, therapeutic, relaxation, oncology, hot stone, bamboo, neuromuscular therapy, chair, canine, and equine massage.

“Massage is both physical and emotional. If you accept both of those concepts, it’s easier to reach the goal of both reducing pain and relaxing,” she said.

She was a longtime Green County Library Board member.

Her season tickets to the Chicago Lyric Metropolitan Opera were treasured. She was an expert knitter, seamstress and horticulturist.

of Monroe, and Michael (Holly) Hasse of Juda; three grandchildren, Amanda McGuire, Trevor McGuire, and Alex Hasse; two sisters, Marilyn (Jack) Michel of Wenatchee, Wash., and Mary (Dave) Keen Antonneau of Northfield, Minn.; and her husband of 30 years, Dennis Hasse of Beloit.

She was preceded in death by her parents; a stillborn daughter, Anne Marie; two brothers, Russell and Dennis Keen; and a son-in-law, Bill McGuire.

A memorial open house will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 21, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Perks Coffee Café, 104 W 8th St. in Monroe.

Inurnment will be at a later date in Mount Vernon Cemetery in Juda.
