Cardinals headed to playoffs

By Trenten Scheidegger SPORTS WRITER

Last Friday night the Brodhead-Juda Cardinals’ football team hosted the McFarland Spartans for a late season Rock Valley Conference matchup. Both teams came in with high hopes of making the playoffs, but looming thought of not knowing weighed heavy on their shoulders. The Spartans sat just above the Cardinals in the Rock Valley standings as McFarland held a 5-3 overall record coming in, while the Cardinals sat at 4-4.

The Spartans got off to a hot start after overcoming some tough spots on their first drive. A blindside block negated an early touchdown, and then a sack by Jayson Starr forced them into third and long.

McFarland was able to overcome, however, with an eighteen yard touchdown run.

The Cards’ first drive ended with an interception and before you knew it, McFarland held a two score lead early on. Brodhead-Juda has struggled early on in games this season, and the final regular season game was no different. Coach Matthys touched on this, saying “The

same thing that has bit us in a couple games earlier this season was not coming out right away in the first quarter. I thought we played well in the second, third, and fourth quarter.”

The Cardinals found themselves in a fourth and short situation early in the second quarter, and despite needing just a couple yards for the first, Nick Naramore decided to scamper for thirty-six to set up a two yard touchdown run by Dalton Naramore. The Cards would miss the extra point, as they trailed 13-6.

The Spartans then began driving again, which set up a weird sequence of events. Down in the red zone, the Spartans would fumble the ball allowing Brodhead-Juda to take over. Unfortunately, the Cardinals would fumble on their first play and the Spartans scooped the ball and took it into the endzone to go up 20-6.

The Cardinals then needed a big play, and they got it by way of a forty-three-yard pass to Brady Malkow. The deep play set up a short touchdown run by Nick to bring them within eight, down 20-12.

The Cards then had a tremendous

end to the half as another sack by Starr led to the offense getting the ball back, and Dalton Naramore was able to run across the goal line as the clock hit zero. Fourteen straight points allowed Brodhead-Juda to head into halftime tied at 20-20.

Brodhead-Juda would score their nineteenth unanswered point to begin the second half when Cole Hoesly connected with Nick Naramore for a sixty-five-yard touchdown pass. Unfortunatey, it would be the final score of the day for the Cards. The Spartans were able to put up two late scores to steal a 3426 victory.

The Naramore boys were impressive as usual, as Nick rushed for 132 yards and one touchdown, and Dalton put up 73 yards and two touchdowns of his own. Nick also had 65 yards receiving.

Despite the loss, following the game Coach Matthys told me “I’m ninety percent sure we are going to make the playoffs.” Turns out, he was right as the Cardinals are setup to face off with an old, familiar opponent in River Valley for level 1 of the division four playoffs.

Madelynn McIntyre continues to impress

By Trenten Scheidegger SPORTS WRITER

Last Thursday the Brodhead-Juda Cross Country teams competed in the Rock Valley Conference championship. The girls’ team, which has been led by Madelynn McIntyre in recent years, has continued to impress throughout 2019 and they did so again in the conference championship.

McIntyre took first place in the championship, and it wasn’t even close. She came in with a time of 19:52. To put her dominance into perspective, the second place finisher came in nearly a full minute behind her with a time of 20:39. The impressive performance gave McIntyre another first team All-Conference award. Her coach, Curt Gratz

said “I am so proud of Maddy for her conference win this year. The Rock is a tough cross-country conference and winning it is no small task, but Maddy puts in the hard work to succeed at that level.”

Maddy wasn’t the only Cardinal runner to have a great day, however.

Presleigh Arnold worked hard all season long and managed to finish in tenth place in the big tournament with a time of 21:51. McIntyre gets a lot of the attention, but you cannot overlook the ability of Arnold, who has came on strong for the Cardinals this season. She earned a 2nd team All-Conference honor.

Anna Skoumal was another Cardinal runner who had a solid outing with a time of 22:29. The performance was enough to earn her an

honorable mention in the Rock Valley Conference.

The men’s top performer from Brodhead-Juda was Carter Urness, who came in with a time of 18:15, which was good enough for fourteenth place. Urness performed well this season and was able to receive a second team All-Conference honor.

Jacob Staffen and Royce Bauer were the next two Cardinal runners in, as Staffen finished with a time of 18:42 for 21st place, and Bauer came in just behind him in 22nd place with a time of 18:43. The two were able to earn Honorable mention awards for their hard work.

Between the Men’s and women’s team, Brodhead-Juda had six runners receive All-Conference honors.

The path to a carbon-free Wisconsin goes through energy efficiency

By John Beard APTIM SENIOR PUBLIC RELATIONS AND MEDIA SPECIALIST

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers pledged in August to make Wisconsin’s electricity consumption 100% carbon-free by 2050.

The executive order pushed Wisconsin into a growing group of states, municipalities and utilities pledging carbon reduction goals, with many investing in renewable energy sources.

However, renewables are just part of the solution. October is National Energy Awareness Month, a good time to remember efficiency’s place in reaching carbon reduction goals.

Remember the cheapest unit of energy is the unit you do not use. Many Wisconsinites have embraced this idea through FOCUS ON ENERGY®, Wisconsin’s energy efficiency and renewable resources program.

Nearly 129,000 residents and more than 6,100 businesses and municipalities participated in Focus on Energy

in 2018 (excluding retail lighting sales), investing in efficiency projects with enough energy savings to power 359,000 homes for a full year.

Remember Wisconsin spends billions annually importing coal and natural gas. The less energy Wisconsinites use, the less state utilities spend importing fuel, a cost ultimately passed on to consumers.

Remember that if Wisconsin uses less energy, it doesn’t have to spend as much building the renewable energy infrastructure needed to meet its carbon-free goal. And many opportunities remain. In fact, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy found efficiency could slash U.S. energy use about 50% by 2050.

This Energy Awareness Month, remember the easiest and cheapest way to reduce your energy impact is to use less and be efficient. Focus on Energy can help you explore lowand no-cost ways to save energy at www.focusonenergy.com.

Wisconsin Air Quality Report shows continued improvements Air quality in Wisconsin continues to improve, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources 2019 Air Quality Trends Report. The report provides the latest official state monitoring data for air pollutants regulated under the Clean Air Act. This year’s report once again shows that concentrations of most pollutants continue to decrease throughout the state.

The continued decrease in fine particle (PM2.5) concentrations is one of several success stories highlighted in the report. In southeast Wisconsin, for example, PM2.5 concentrations were violating the 24-hour standard just a decade ago. Today, those concentrations are roughly 40% lower than the standard and continue to decrease.

Since 2002, overall concentrations of PM2.5 have decreased by 35% across the state.

Other success stories include the 50% drop in emissions of ozone-forming pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) and a 68% drop in sulfur dioxide emissions since the early 2000s. Due in part to these significant reductions, 94% of Wisconsin’s population lives in areas meeting all federal air quality standards.

Parts of six counties along the Lake Michigan shoreline are not meeting the federal ozone stan-

dards. However, emissions of ozone-forming pollutants continue to decrease across the state, as the federal standard has become more stringent. It is a priority for the department to continue to address the areas not meeting air quality standards through working with partners, conducting additional monitoring research and engaging with other states.

For the first time, this report also includes maps of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) derived from satellite data.

From 2006 to 2018, the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA’s Aura satellite observed significant reductions of NO2 across most of the state, with the greatest reductions found in the Milwaukee area.

“These data are consistent with the decreases observed by the state’s ground-based monitors,” said DNR Air Program Director Gail Good.

“While the air program does not use the satellite data for regulatory purposes, it does help us understand overall trends and indicates the reduction of this ozone-forming pollutant is widespread.”

The 2019 Air Quality Trends Report, along with historical reports and more information on air quality, are available on DNR website.

Current air quality conditions in Wisconsin can be found on the Wisconsin Air Quality Monitoring Data webpage.

SENIOR OF THE WEEK This week’s senior of the week is Nicole Nicholson. Her favorite high school memory is when she went to Sky Zone after Junior prom. Her favorite teacher is Mrs. Elmer because “ she can always make me laugh and is there to vent to.” Nicole’s future plans are to attend college and get a degree in music education. Her favorite school lunch is one she brings herself. If she won the lottery, she would put half of the money away and use the other half to treat herself. If she could live in one state for the rest of her life, it would be Utah because of the beautiful scenery.

TEACHER OF THE WEEK This week’s teacher of the week is Scott Anderson. He is the high school math teacher. He also teaches the engineering classes. He got his engineering degree from UW-Platteville in 1994 and his teaching degree from St. Mary’s Univesity in 2006. He has been teaching for 14 years.

Nelson and Pade donates lettuce to schools In celebration of National Farm to School Month, on Monday, Oct. 15, Nelson and Pade, Inc.®, donated over one hundred heads of fresh, aquaponically-grown lettuce to the Westfield, Montello and Princeton public school districts. The lettuce is Certified Naturally Grown and is grown in Clear Flow Aquaponic Systems® at Nelson and Pade, Inc.®’s greenhouse facility in Montello, WI. Aquaponics is a sustainable method of food production that combines fish and vegetables in one integrated, soilless system. When combined with controlled indoor farming, aquaponics can be done in any climate, 365 days a year, and produces 8 times the amount of leafy greens using 1/6th of the water compared to traditional agriculture.

WCGA on EPA’s plan to address RFS waivers In response to Tuesday’s release of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) supplemental proposal to the 2020 Renewable Volume Obligation (RVO) rulemaking, the Wisconsin Corn Growers Association (WCGA) has released the following statement: “Wisconsin’s corn growers have once again been let down by the EPA’s unwillingness to follow the letter of the law,” says Doug Rebout, WCGA President. “While efforts are being made by the Agency to follow recommendations from the Department of Energy, this proposal does not live up to President Trump’s promises. We encourage all growers to participate in the 30-day public comment period following the public hearing on October 30.”

Wisconsin Corn serves the state’s corn growers through the Wisconsin Corn Promotion Board

(WCPB) and Wisconsin Corn Growers Association (WCGA). The WCPB utilizes checkoff funds to develop and defend markets, fund research and provide education about corn and corn products.

WCGA is a united, grassroots-driven member organization representing growers from across Wisconsin on important state and national agricultural issues in an effort to increase member profitability and opportunity. For more information, visit wicorn.org.
