Learning from the world importance of good governance at home Crawford Young.

His name probably means about as much to a person in Green or Rock county as the Central African Republic. Yet both Young and the C.A.R. are important, vitally important to all of us.

I stumbled onto Young’s latest book in a State Street store in Madison last October.

I survived 8 days in a failed peace project writing mission to that “most dangerous place on Earth” – the C.A.R. – in April.

A newspaper editor’s greatest challenge today is far greater than holding up under all-nighters past 60 years of age. I stay tired. Yet I cling to my task: Helping readers grasp significance of people, places, polices – that sustain us and our world.

My fate will eventually be sealed if readers won’t pay 60 cents a week to subscribe to what I write, but as much as $100 a month for a Smart Phone.

It isn’t likely that either a journalist or an electronic device can easily help an American citizen see a political scientists or a distant continent as important. Shall we try, anyway?

Use that device to Google the UW professor emeritus and scholar named Young.

Check out the C.A.R. on line, too.

Young’s book that I took

with me overseas last year is titled “The Post Colonial State in Africa.” I credit it with helping me through the experience in the C.A.R. and a 6-month assignment in the Republic of the Congo.

Young’s book shocked me.

It slapped me awake. What’s been happening to masses of otherwise gentle, joyful, hard-working people across more than 50 countries, more than 50 years since they won independence is baffling. It’s disturbing.

Devastating civil war, military coups, failed economies. Doubling of populations about every 20 to 30 years. Hunger, malnutrition and disease.

All of it happened, country after country, in just the 38 years since I returned from Peace Corps service in Africa. Where have I been?

How did I fail to absorb the enormity of what was obviously being repeated over and over, in a broad pattern?

I attended schools. I undertook a career. I took jobs, switched jobs, vocations, too. I married, helped raise 5 children. I financed a little business with my partner wife. By hard work, we paid down debts.

I grew and ate fantastic food. I clapped for my kids at finish lines and the end of musical performances.

I held hands, and hugged.

I dreamed. I made real. I

failed. I survived failure.

Now I think about all I’ve so richly in spirit and body enjoyed. I sit in town and village halls in my homeland.

I listen to public servants and patriots in a free land, a wealthy land, a blessed land. I hear their struggles. I admire their earnest attempts to solve big problems.

Yet from the other side of the world, where I stood, walked, worked just 6 months ago, I read that 60 people died violent deaths.

More than 400 people were maimed and wounded by home-made weapons and guns. I can picture by memory where tens of thousands fled for safety.

Every second I was in the same space, I had a feeling of dread that someone was going to shoot me, or that one of those ugly pieces of metal was about to come crashing down on my head, or that a vehicle would drive up to me and I’d be abducted by thugs.

What I feared would happen to me; what I read thanks to Reuters, the BBC and New York Times; is happen-

ing to innocent people in the Central African Republic.

And what professor Young systematically studied and thoughtfully analyzed in award-winning volumes, is importance to every one of us.

Young discerned and documented that very, very bad things happen to nations and people in patterns. These patterns stem in large measure from the same problem: “poor governance.”

Say it over to yourself.

Think about those words.

Picture your government – in your rural township, your county, state and nation. We learn in civics from a young age, that government is the people.

Can we name each of the people elected and appointed to keep the people’s rules – our rules? Do we talk to them about the rules that ensure our justice, harmony, health, sustainability?

Will we one day suffer from the same eventualities of poor governance as people do in lands where they’re not even allowed to participate?

Attend the meetings, keep informed, take part. You’ll find, you’ll make, good governance the most important rule.

Crawford Young received his B.A. from the University of Michigan and his PhD from Harvard in 1964, where his advisor was

the famed scholar Rupert Emerson, the only person ever to serve as president of both the African Studies Association and the Asian Studies Association.

Academic career Young became an Assistant Professor at Wisconsin in 1963, and published his first major work, Politics in the Congo: Decolonization and Independence. He became prominent as the author in 1976 of the highly influential The Politics of Cultural Pluralism, which was awarded the Herskovits Prize by theAfrican Studies Association. His 1994 book, The African Colonial State in Comparative Perspective, won the Lubbert Prize from the American Political Science Association as the best book written that year in the field of Comparative Politics.

He has held chairmanship of the UW–Madison political science department twice (1969–72; 1984–87), and was between 197375 Dean of the Faculty of Social Science at the Université Nationale du Zaire.

Young served as president of the African Studies Association in 1983. He retired in 2001 as a full professor but remained active in his field, publishing «The End of the Postcolonial State in Africa?» in the journal African Affairs in 2004.

Tom Nipple, left, Brodhead Water and Light operations foreman, earned a Volunteer Power Award from WPPI Energy, Brodhead’s not-for-profit, wholesale power supplies, with Tom Paque, right, WPPI energy senior vice president of services and business strategy.

Utility Foreman Honored for Volunteer Service BRODHEAD — Tom Nipple, operations foreman at Brodhead Water & Light, received the WPPI Energy Volunteer Power Award during the Broadhead Water & Light Commission meeting on Oct. 21.

The award is presented to a WPPI Energy member utility employee who is involved with community events and charitable causes.

Sun Prairie-based WPPI Energy is a not-for-profit, joint-action

power supplier to Brodhead and 50 other communities in Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa.

Nipple has been an employee at the not-for-profit, locally owned utility for 26 years, starting as an apprentice lineman.

“He believes the utility is an integral part of Brodhead and makes sure we are connected through involvement, donations and positive representation,” his colleagues wrote when nominating him for the award.

Red Cross encourages blood donations before holidays The American Red Cross asks eligible donors to give blood before the holiday season is in full swing.

Blood donations often decline from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day when holiday festivities pull people away from their donation appointments.

This often causes a drop in the blood available for patients.

Donations are needed in the weeks leading up to the holidays to help offset this seasonal decline.

Blood donor Kathy Steckly Neuschwander’s father gave blood for years. She always saw him wear his pin when he reached his next gallon – about 12 gallons total. When he was diagnosed with leukemia, she and her family learned firsthand how important blood donations could be around the holidays.

“He passed away in 1994 from leukemia and needed a blood transfusion so we could have one more Thanksgiving together,” she said. “My brother and sister were able to come home from the East Coast for this. I can now say I am wearing his three-gallon pin.”

Donors with all blood types are needed, and especially those with types O negative, B negative, A negative and AB blood.

To make an appointment to donate blood, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Donors can now use the Blood Donor App to access their donor card and view vital signs from previous donations.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities are: in Dane County at Belleville from 1 to 6

p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at St. Mary of Lourdes, 221 Frederick St.; in Green County at Albany on Monday, Nov. 9 from noon to 5 p.m. at the elementary school, 400 Fifth St.; and in Brodhead on Tuesday, Nov. 3 from noon to 5 p.m. at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 405 9th Ave, County Highway T and State Highway 104; in Rock County at Footville on Monday, Nov. 9, from 1 to 6 p.m. at St. Elizabeth Manor, 111 Commercial Drive.

To donate blood, download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood. org or call 1-800-733-2767 to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients.

A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.

Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families.

The Red Cross is a not-forprofit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Outside of work, Nipple is a prominent member of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. He serves on the church board, devoting time and effort to maintaining the church’s finances, grounds, events, staffing and programs.

Nipple is also known for his work with youth sports – including coaching Little League baseball and keeping stats for high school football. He mentors youths of all ages. Beyond teaching them the basics of the game, he teaches them sportsmanship, teamwork and other life lessons, according to others at the utility.

In nominating Nipple for the award, co-workers said Nipple has always been one who was the first to pitch in, and that he gave 100 percent to whatever he was doing. “He works hard and encourages others to do the same. Whether it is at work or in his volunteer efforts, he is always motivating others. He leads by example and others always take notice,” they wrote of him.

“Tom’s work is important not only to the utility, but to the community as a whole. This welldeserved award recognizes his service,” said Tom Paque, WPPI energy senior vice president of services and business strategy.

MONROE — Creativity, curiosity, confidence, courage, compassion, resilience, teamwork – these are all valuable character and life skills that 4-H programs grow in youth.

4-H is open to all youth from 5-year-olds in kindergarten through high school. Whether these youths live in city, village, or rural residences of Green County, there are 4-H clubs and programs in which they can participate.

The opportunities for learning, meeting and working with others, serving the community and having a good time through 4-H are open to all young people, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, creed , or ability.

Green County 4-H has 18 community 4-H clubs. Families are invited to check out several clubs before making a choice that fits their schedule, location and interests.

Albany youth can take part in the Jolly Mixers 4-H Club that meets the third Monday of the month at 7 p.m. in the Albany Lions Club building.

HOW TO FLOSS EFFECTIVELY

The American Dental Association recommends these steps: Start with about 18 inches of floss.

Wind most of it around one of your middle fingers and the rest around the middle finger of your other hand. Hold about 1 inch of floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers. Glide floss between teeth with a gentle sawing motion. When the floss reaches the gum line, form a C shape to follow the contours of the tooth. Hold the floss firmly against the tooth while moving the floss gently up and down.

Repeat on all teeth, unspooling fresh sections of floss as you go.

Don’t forget the backs of your last molars.

Ag Plastic Recycling Offered in Green County Farmers from Green County and the surrounding area will again have an opportunity to dispose of used agricultural plastic – from wrapped bales, silo bags, bunker silos and greenhouse covers – this fall.

Disposal of the plastic will be accepted from Nov. 9 to 20 at the Green County Landfill.

The landfill will be accepting agriculture plastics from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily during that time period. All area farmers can dispose of the agriculture plastics listed above free of charge at the landfill, which is at W2002 County Highway SS west of Brodhead.

Green County has conducted three successful Ag plastic collection programs over the past 2 years. The program has gathered and recycled more than 145,000 pounds of used Ag plastic from area farmers.

The county bales the used Ag plastic into one-ton bales, which are then sent to Revolution Plastic’s processing facility in the state of Arkansas.

The used Ag plastic is cleaned, processed and recycled into EPA certified trash can liners and other plastic products.

Use of silo bags, bunkers and baleage has increased dramatically over the past 10 years as a means of feed storage on Wisconsin dairy

and livestock farms.

More than 55 million pounds of plastic bags and wraps are sold to Wisconsin farmers each year.

Many dairy farms using silo bags, bunkers and wrapped bales use an average 10 to 15 pounds of polyethylene plastic per cow annually.

This equates to approximately 150 tons of plastic silo bags, bale wrap and bunker covers that have to be disposed of just in Green County each year.

Most used Ag plastic is currently being disposed of in landfills or is being burned illegally.

Burning the plastic is not good for the environment.

This Ag plastic collection program provides area farmers with a free method for disposing of their plastic. It also helps to eliminate the issue of used plastic blowing around the country side.

Only No. 4 plastic from silo bags, bunker covers, green house covers, drip tape and bale wraps will be accepted through this collection.

Plastic twine, mesh bale wraps, plastic jugs, bunker covers with scrim nylon and all other types of plastic containers will not be accepted through the program.

New technology allows for these Ag plastics to be recycled.

However, farmers are

“We’re able to help farmers with their Ag plastic disposal problems, reduce the amount of plastic going to landfills and being burned, and generate revenue for the county while at the same time recycling the unwanted material into new products.”

Green County plans to hold used Ag plastic collections in the county again in April and November of 2016.

asked to shake any excess mud, gravel, dirt, stones and feed off the plastic before storing or bringing their agricultural plastic to the collection in November.

UW-Extension in Green County is currently working on a pilot program with Revolution Plastics. It includes dumpsters being placed on farms specifically for storing these types of plastic along with free on-farm pick-up offered every 4-to-6 weeks.

The partners hope to have dumpsters for Ag plastic placed on more than 80 farms through the pilot program by the end of the year.

If the pilot is successful, the goal will be to expand the service to a larger geographical area in 2016.

Wisconsin FFA Foundation is now accepting applications for SAE grants MADISON — The Wisconsin Future Farmers of America Foundation is seeking applicants for its 2015 Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) Grant Program.

The application is at www. wisconsinffa.org/programs and must be postmarked by Nov. 16, and mailed to the Wisconsin FFA Foundation office.

Students can apply for SAE grants in four different categories: aquaculture, dairy, organic agriculture and start-up.

Applicants must be a current FFA member in grades 7 through 11 during the current, 2015-16 school year.

The SAE grant program provides FFA members the ability to garner financial support for their SAE, a component of the three-part agricultural education model. SAEs allow students to apply their classroom-learned skills to a hands-on agricultural project.

“SAE grants have been a long-standing tradition at the Wisconsin FFA Foundation and one that students greatly appreciate,” stated Sara Schoenborn, Wisconsin FFA Foundation Executive Director, in a release about the grant.

“Our SAE grant sponsors understand the importance of helping FFA members gain realworld experience, as well as the

long-term impact it has on the agricultural industry by training the state’s future agricultural leaders.”

Funding for the 2015 SAE grants is provided by Foremost Farms USA, Nasco, Organic Valley/CROPP Cooperative, Saputo Cheese USA, Sartori Company, ST Paper, Viroqua Food Co-op, We Energies, Wisconsin Aquaculture Association and the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.

Questions about SAE grant applications can be directed to Wisconsin FFA Foundation at info@wisconsinffafoundation. org or 608-831-5058.

The Wisconsin FFA Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) organization, unites individuals, organizations and companies who share a common interest in advancing agriculture and community leadership through FFA. Anyone can support today’s FFA members by supporting the programs that have been core tenets of the FFA: proficiency awards, career development events, state FFA degrees, sectional leadership workshops, scholarships, chapter awards, agri-science fair, state FFA convention and state officer support.

Ceramic Students Make Bowls for Fundraiser

ORFORDVILLE — Parkview High School ceramics and art students made 13 bowls for the Empty Bowls benefit that ECHO sponsored in Janesville last weekend.

Proceeds from the Parkview students’ bowls will go to the Orfordville food pantry (CUP).

Empty Bowls is a lunch and fundraiser to support ECHO. The ecumenical organization is fighting to end hunger in Janesville. The benefit meal for ECHO featured homemade soups from local restaurants, along with artisan breads.

The event took place Saturday, Oct. 24, at Parker High School in Janesville.

Advanced tickets were available at ECHO, 65 South High Street, Janesville. ECHO stands for Every Christian Helping Others. The char-

ity organization helps meet temporary housing, food, transportation and other emergency needs of low income families.

The benefit meal featured soup, bread, beverage, and dessert, with participants paying extra for the Orfordville students’ hand-thrown ceramic bowls.

Ceramics students made the bowls, and the art students glazed them. Parkview High School instructor Lauren Kultgen plans to have her students take part in this event every year.

This was the first year students from Orfordville participated. The students were just learning to throw on the wheel. Now that Kultgen knows this event takes place at the same time every year, she can plan student participation.

Field days, such as this one held Oct. 20 with Green County producers and Land Conservation staff, are a great opportunity for farmers and others interested in cover crops to find answers to their questions about individual varieties of plants used for cover. It gives farmers a chance to talk to each other about their experiences with cover crops.

Financing and programs help food and farm businesses in two sessions this week

By Tony Ends Editor

Green County Development Corporation is partnering with the Wisconsin Procurement Institute to host a USDA seminar today, Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 1 to 4 p.m.

The program will be held at the Historic Green County Courthouse, 2nd floor West, 1016 16th Ave., Monroe.

“We have had several small businesses very happy with this training session,” said Kim Garber, small business program manager with the Wisconsin Procurement Institute. “We call it the USDA Road Show - since we have had it in Madison, Viroqua, Eau Claire, and Wausau.

“Now we are offering it in Monroe and Wauwatosa. We plan to offer it two times a year as long as there is an interest,” Garber said.

“It encompasses much of the offerings of the USDA. We bring several agencies together to help the small business agricultural entrepreneur under-

stand the grants and loan programs and a Contracting Officer from the USDA Midwest office (Kansas City) attends to explain what the USDA buys.”

The training sessions have had organic vegetable farms and aquaponic farms attend that were of interest to the contracting officer to feed children in schools around the country.

WPI coordinates many training sessions like this at its office in Wauwatosa, at host facilities around the state and via webinar. Its services are at no charge.

Participants in the sessions this week will learn about doing business with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection and the USDA Farm Service Agency. The program will advise them how to find available financing and programs to help their farm or food business.

There is no cost for the seminar, but registration is required.

For more information call, 608 328-9452.

The program will be repeated tomorrow at the Wisconsin Procurement Institute from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 29, in Wauwatosa.

Participants will hear from a USDA procurement representative about ways to connect to opportunities in the following areas: International Food Aid (USAID & USDA-Foreign Agricultural Service) – bulk and packaged grains, vegetable oils, and vitamin-fortified, non-commercial food items; Domestic Food Assistance (FNS) – processed food and dairy items (commercial); Multi-food warehousing services (FNS).

DATCP staff will also talk about the state’s Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin grant program, the Local Food Business Seminar series and the Farm to School program.

Green County FSA office staff will discuss microloans, Farm Loan programs and the loss coverage program.

A Small Business Administration representative will discuss small business programs, the SBA loan and how to register with the federal government and find other food and farm opportunities For more information, contact Garber at kimg@wispro. org; www.wispro.org; or 608 444-0047.

the biological processes that are enhanced by the increased presence of living roots in the soil. Roots provide one of the best ways farmers can feed their soil.

In order to make soil healthier, producers need to abide by four principles: minimize soil disturbance, energize with plant diversity, keep the soil covered, and maximize roots living as long as possible.

When a producer plants cover crops, the practice is following three of the four principles. Cover crops add diversity to the rotation, provide shade and residue to protect the soil, and add a living root for the soil microbes to feed from.

Green County Land and Water Conservation Department and Natural Resources Conservation Service staff have worked with farmers in the county to provide demonstration plots for others to learn about cover crops.

Two of the sites will host discussions and demonstrations regarding cover crops and soil health on Wednesday, Nov. 4.

In the morning, from 10 until noon, staff will be at the Randy and Chad Kesler farm in Sylvester Township, W3256 County Highway SS. The Keslers planted cover with seed from Heritage Seed Company. They also selected

seeds that should winterkill, so there would be no management in the spring.

They planted radish, crimson clover, oats, berseem clover and Austrian winter peas.

The afternoon session will be held from 1 to 3 p.m.

Staff will gather for the field day north of Monroe at the northwest corner of the intersection of Highway 69 and Aebly Road on land operated

by Aaron Digman.

He planted six strips of a variety of mixes. There are some common species like oats, radish and turnip, but there are also some uncommonly used species like sunn hemp and pearl millet.

At this point in the autumn season, the sunn hemp and pearl millet have been killed by the frost. The rest of the species look pretty good yet.

Not all of the plants will winterkill at this site.

Both sites were planted in August after winter wheat.

Anyone who would like to try cover crops or get a better look at their potential to add soil fertility, increase yields and cover soil against erosion is welcome to attend either session.

For more information, contact the Green County Land Conservation Office at 608325-4195 ext 3.

2016 Medicare Part D clinics offered locally Local Aging and Disability Resource Center staff have scheduled three area clinics to help seniors review Part D Medicare plans for 2016.

Center personnel will be holding plan review clinics throughout Green County.

Anyone who wants to participate in a local community clinic can call 328-9499 to schedule an appointment.

BRODHEAD — Greg Stewart plunges the soil probe he checked out of the Land Conservation office several weeks ago down into the ground.

You’d think with the weather trending dry now in an incredibly mild autumn, he’d have more trouble getting that metal into and out of compacted soil.

His arms still strong from lifting heavy milk pails and arm wrestling throughout his youth, Stewart makes the task seem almost easy.

“It’s the last of 132 samples I’ve taken across 260 acres,” Stewart says, of the soil testing on land he farms with his family a few miles west of Decatur Dairy.

“I’ve been sampling my soil every 3 or 4 years since 1982,” Stewart says. “I take a sample every 2 to 2 ½ acres. All the land I farm, including 14 acres I rent, gets sampled.

“It took two of us roughly 14 hours over several days. My brother Ken wrote the samples and grid coordinates on the bag as I drew the soil.

“You have to clear the plant residue away from the surface so the probe picks up the soil down about 6 inches. I started sampling on Oct. 15. Today’s the 22nd, and we’re done.”

Stewart knows the soil samples are extracted, bagged and separately identified, but the work is not really done.

He and other farmers across Green County and Wisconsin are getting their soil samples now so that they can complete a Nutrient Management Plan over winter.

Since 2008, Wisconsin

requires that plan by law for anyone who applies manure, or nutrients, to the soil.

The requirement intends to ensure producers are not overapplying nutrients so that they do not become pollutants in adjacent or on-site well or surface water.

All sorts of practices, the lay of the land, the types of soil, in addition to manure application rates can result in water contamination. Considering all these factors, with the soil samples, is part of nutrient management planning.

Farmers can pay a licensed crop advisor to work up a nutrient management plan for their cropland. Yet in Green County, the landowners themselves can analyze the soil samples and other factors to determine best practices for managing nutrients on their farms.

They can do this with the help of Green County Land Conservation staff. Classes for producers start with a sign-up and the sampling this fall.

“Our goal is to generate a farmer-written nutrient management plan,” said land conservation technician Tonya Gratz, “recognized by DATCP (the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection). If they take the class with us, they’re going to meet DATCP’s expectations.”

The county nutrient management planning class includes discussion of the basics for a plan in January and guided computer work filling out a plan with analysis of one’s soil samples in February.

“We usually have cost-share funding for the class to cover most of the expenses,” Gratz

said. “It does require time to participate. We’ve been taking a voluntary approach with compliance under the state law.

“Counties are supposed to get cost sharing if they require conservation practices of producers.”

Stewart appreciates the help he gets from the county in using a SNAP computer program with his soil samples to update his nutrient management plan. He’s also grateful to see wider and wider participation of other farmers around the county in these practices.

With 70 cows to milk and a seven-year rotation of corn, soybeans, corn silage, wheat and 3 years of hay, Stewart has a lot to manage. Assistance ensuring the right application rates and practices for each crop helps producers keep nutrient levels improving yields, protecting fertility and safeguarding water.

“We’ve used several of Blackhawk Technical College’s computer labs in our past classes. This year we will be trying something different, using the Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection’s laptops at the Justice Center,” Gratz said.

“There are a good handful of farmers that have SNAP on their own laptops, including Greg Stewart, who bring those in when they update their plans every year. I started offering the classes in 2008 to empower farmers to make choices and so that they had choices in their operation,” she said.

“We still have openings in our class for interested farmers to write their own “legitimate”

Greg Stewart gets ready to plunge a probe into the soil to draw out one of the last of more than 130 samples he took this past week on more than 260 acres he farms. Stewart will use soil tests from the samples to work with Green County Land Conservation staff over winter to update and revise his nutrient management plan.

nutrient management plan.

Most of the time, we offer cost sharing for writing a plan for the first time. They just need to contact me to be enrolled in the class.”

The state law requiring nutrient management plans of farmers who apply manure and fertilizer, directs the agricultural producers to a uniform set of rules called Code 590.

That code prescribes in 12 pages a set of practices and procedures the federal Natural Resources Conservation Service has developed.

Code 590 sets the standards for managing the amount, source, placement, form, and timing of livestock manure application and soil amendments, like chemical fertilizer.

It describes how farmers or their hired crop advisors must document the requirements for their nutrient plans are being met, not just in applications to land, but also in budgeting for nutrients soil organisms and plants need to produce crops.

All these criteria have a goal of cutting the amount of nutrient that enter surface and ground water or are lost to the atmosphere. Healthy farming practices, mean healthy soils and crops, but also a healthy environment.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

Public comments invited on proposed phosphorus variance

MADISON — The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will hold a public hearing Dec. 9 starting at 9 a.m. in Wisconsin Dells to receive comments on the proposed multidischarger phosphorus variance.

The proposed multi-discharger phosphorus variance is designed to provide a new tool for industries and municipalities facing restrictive phosphorus compliance costs.

A multi-discharger variance extends the timeline for complying with low-level phosphorus limits. In exchange,

point sources commit to stepwise reductions of phosphorus within their effluent while addressing nonpoint sources of phosphorus from farm fields, cities or natural areas.

Wisconsin’s Legislature authorized the concept of the multidischarger variance in April 2014 through the approval of Act 378. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also has acknowledged that wastewater permit holders affected by similar technical and economic challenges may be considered for a multidischarger variance process.

Since passage of the state law, the Department of Administration and DNR have been working to quantify the eco-

nomic impacts that would occur without flexibility in managing phosphorus. The preliminary conclusion of the analysis is that complying with phosphorus limits causes substantial and widespread social and economic impacts totaling some $6 billion in costs to upgrade municipal and industrial treatment plants.

A hearing on the preliminary economic determination for the multi-discharger variance process was held May 12 in Wausau and comments from that process have been incorporated into the proposed determination and implementation procedures.

At the upcoming hearing scheduled for Dec. 9, DNR officials will briefly explain

Evening at Turner Hall devoted to safeguarding farmland MONROE — Wisconsin agriculture has seen many changes, especially in recent decades as farm size has increased and famers have embraced new technologies.

Local residents will have an opportunity Tuesday, Nov. 3, to learn more about how Green County’s agricultural landscape is changing from these trends.

“This is a free event that is open to everyone in the community who cares about the future of family farming and about preserving the beauty of Green County,” said Jen Riemer, a local farmer and co-founder of Green County Defending our Farmland.

“There are a lot of local residents who are concerned about the growing number of largescale confinement farms in Wisconsin, and they’re starting to wonder how the trend will affect us here in Green County,” Riemer said.

“We decided to put together an educational event that would take place in a relaxed atmosphere where community members could also socialize with their neighbors.”

The event will take place at 6:30 p.m. in Turner Hall on Nov. 3. The evening will include several well-known speakers, appetizers, a cash bar and music by The Jimmys and Tracy Bristow.

Featured speakers will include John Ikerd, author and professor emeritus of Agricultural Economics at the University of Missouri.

Lynn Utesch, a Kewaunee County beef producer and cofounder of Kewaunee C.A.R.E.S. (Citizens Advocating Responsible Environmental Stewardship) will also speak.

Jacob Marty, one of the organizers of the event, is a 23-yearold farmer working with his father on their 410 acres near Monticello.

”My family has been farming this land for six generations.

I want to farm in a way that improves the soil for the generation that comes after me,” Marty said.

Marty is concerned about the trend toward consolidation of farmland and the possibility of large-scale confinement farms setting up operations in Green County.

“It’s time for us to educate ourselves about how Green County would change if that happens,” Marty said.

“People around here care about clean water and the beautiful landscape that surrounds us.

We care about the survival of the family farm. That’s what our community was built on, and we want to make sure it continues.”

Blackhawk Board of Trustees create presidential search committee JANESVILLE — Barbara Barrington-Tillman, chair of the Blackhawk Technical College Board of Trustees, announced on Wednesday the formation of a presidential search committee.

The committee will be tasked with identifying and recommending candidates to succeed BTC President Dr. Thomas Eckert Eckert announced in September that he will step down as president at the end of the current academic year.

“Given the critical nature of the search committee’s task, it was important to form a diverse committee of faculty, staff, alumni, trustees and members of the community who are all passionate about Blackhawk and who care deeply about the college’s future,” said Barrington-Tillman.

The 15-member committee is comprised of three Board members, three BTC employees and nine external members from Rock and Green counties.

They include: Barbara Barrington-Tillman – BTC Board of Trustees, Chief Deputy, Rock County Sheriff’s Office;

Kim Bliss, Director of Community Development, Hendricks Holding Company; Beth Chambers, BTC Human Resources Instructor; Kim Hesgard, BTC alumnus and Marketing Director, Mercy Health System; Michael Johnson, Executive Director, Green County Development Corporation; Dina Knibbs, Outreach, Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois; Dr. Gina McConoughey, BTC Dean of Business; Angela Moore, Executive Director, YWCA Rock County; Doris Mulder, Vice President, Beloit Health System; Jim Nemeth, BTC Foundation Board member, CFO of the Monroe Clinic and Hospital; Rick Richard, BTC Board of Trustees, Managing Partner, RD Worldwide, Inc.; Tammy Roehl, BTC Administrative Assistant to the Dean of Business; Malik Surani, Human Resources Manager, Tigre USA; Eric Thornton, BTC Board of Trustees, Vice President of Operations, St. Mary’s Hospital; Cecil Youngblood, Director,

Office of Intercultural Affairs, Beloit College.

The newly formed committee will work with the Pauly Group to conduct the search.

Pauly is said to be one of the nation’s leading academic search consulting firm.

The committee will begin meeting next month. BTC expects to have a new president in place before the end of the 2015-16 school year.

Blackhawk Technical College is part of the Wisconsin Technical College System.

BTC has five campus locations in Monroe, Milton, Beloit and Janesville.

It offers more than 50 programs, including two-year associate degrees, one- and two-year technical diplomas and short-term technical diplomas.

In addition, BTC provides customized training and technical assistance for the Rock and Green County business community.

More than half of all adults living in Wisconsin have accessed the technical colleges for education and training during the last decade, according to a BTC news release.

Rodriguez receives award for community outreach BRODHEAD — Dr. Julio Rodriguez was among 16 individuals and two organizations presented with a Pyramid of Pride award by the 3,000-member statewide professional dental organization on Oct. 16 at the Monona Terrace in Madison.

Rodriguez and the others were recognized for their outstanding involvement in community outreach endeavors with organized dentistry.

As immediate past president of the Wisconsin Dental Association, Rodriguez was credited with successfully creating, organizing and engaging others to participate in service programs.

“Julio sees a problem and does not hesitate to roll up his sleeves to solve it. He has earned respect because he is willing to do any and all jobs.

From making pancakes for the Lions breakfast, to Dental

Director and volunteer treating kids at the Fowler Memorial Free Dental Clinic, he can be found working hard to make events and programs a success,” Dr. Monica Hebl, of Milwaukee, said.

Dr. Rodriguez volunteers with the WDA and WDA Foundation Mission of Mercy events with his wife Marissa.

He also sees patients for the

foundation’s Donated Dental Services program and provides care to underserved patients covered by Medicaid.

Dr. Rodriguez is a member of the Green County Development Corporation, Green County Literacy Council, Green County Health Communities Coalition, Green County Dental Access Project Steering Committee, Green

County Healthy Kids-County Coalition, Green County Give Kids a Smile, and he is serving as vice chair of the Green County Health Department.

He is involved in his local Lions Club and the vision screening program, as well as the Optimist Club and the Chamber of Commerce, serving as past president of all three organizations.
