What’s on horizon for the Rock Valley conference?

High school principals in a 9 to 3 vote last Thursday in a meeting in Edgerton gave Palmyra-Eagle and Parkview districts permission to leave the Rock Valley Conference.

The two schools must now secure a place in another conference and gain permission of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.

Yet the vote seems likely to force many changes on the WIAA and other high schools in the Rock Valley Conference in the 2016-2017 school year.

“I’m not convinced it’s the perfect solution to our situation,” said Steve Lutzke, Parkview superintendent in a phone interview Friday.

“We like the competition and friendship we have with Brodhead and other schools in the conference.

“But our current enrollment makes it difficult for us to continue in the conference. The preponderance of injuries that happen are when we play the larger schools in the conference in football,” Lutzke said.

Parkview’s enrollment ranges in the area of 270 to 280 students. McFarland High School’s enrollment this year is 715, and its district boasts a total enrollment that has ranged between 2,100 and 2,400 students annually for 10 years.

Having a pool of students more than 2 ½ times larger, means a larger team of bigger, taller players. Size matters in very physical contact sports, yet no one wants any student player to get hurt in unevenly matched competition.

“We’re trying to keep our athletic program viable,” Lutzke said. “Our school board voted in its regular meeting the third Monday in October to go to 8-man football (instead of 11 players on the field).

“We have lobbied the WIAA to come to our assistance – both the larger and smaller schools in the conference, feel this way. We’ve all tried to make the change in conference makeup work, but I think a number of schools would like to see a wholesale realignment of the conference,” Lutzke said.

The WIAA is a nonprofit organization that sets the rules for schools across the state, which voluntarily take part in statewide athletic events for nearly 90,000 students in Wisconsin annually.

“We are at the mercy of the WIAA, which will make the final decision,” Lutzke said.

“The first step was going to the Rock Valley Conference.”

The likely conference alternative now for Parkview and Palmyra-Eagle is the Trailways Athletic Conference. It lists 22 school districts in its website directory, with 7 of them tak-

ing part in a large school football division. Another 7 teams, including Johnson Creek, Williams Bay, Cambria-Friesland, Rio and Fall River, play each other in a small school division of Trailways.

“Mileage considerations will have to be a trade off for playing schools our size,”

said Lutzke, who will be having additional discussions with staff and others as to what Parkview will do in the next academic season.

Parkview’s decision to split from the Rock Valley Conference now leaves BrodheadJuda as the small team in Rock Valley.

“We’re going to look into other options,” said Jim Matthys, Brodhead High School Principal, in an interview Friday. I’ll be meeting with our athletic director and the district superintendent to look at those options.

“We’ve have up to this point kept competitive, even with enrollment differences within the conference,” Matthys said.

“But we have to consider the outlook over the next 20 years, not the last 20 years.

“We have to keep ourselves attractive to students coming into the district. A lot more have come in this year through open enrollment than usual.

We have unbelievable teachers, academic activities, music – not just athletics. And all of our kids are involved in something.”

Brodhead and Beloit Turner did not favor Parkview and Palmyra’s parting. Brodhead’s enrollment was 306 in this academic year, with an additional 17 to 18 students from open enrollment.

Brodhead has had a co-op team with neighboring Juda for 31 seasons in football,

Exceptional apples

cross country, wrestling and baseball, according to Brodhead High School Principal.

Juda’s high school enrollment was 94 in the 2015-2016 season. It is projecting enrollment fluctuations between 108 and 92 over the next 4 school years.

Brodhead has been experiencing smaller enrollments in recent years, from a time when its high school topped an enrollment of more than 400 students 10 or 11 years ago, Matthys said. That high figure, however, reflected more of a bubble in trends, which has since returned to the present, more normal enrollment levels, he said.

East Troy, McFarland, Edgerton, Evansville, Clinton, Jefferson, Whitewater and Big Foot round out the remaining 10 teams in the Rock Valley Conference.

“We have an awesome group of students, 50 of them, who work hard at math and put their best effort into the competition. It is simply mind boggling how they work and compete. Continually placing year after year at a large meet is really impressive,” Anderson said.

“Platteville Math Meet is something we all look forward to every year,” agree Juda High School senior Megan Powers.

“It not only challenges me, but every student with difficult problems. With so many schools

involved, it is really awesome to win second place,” she said.

Snowmobile trail pass rules taking effect this winter JUDA — Starting this winter, every snowmobile riding Wisconsin snowmobile trails needs a trail pass sticker in addition to having the snowmobile registered with the state.

Trail pass purchase, separate from required registration, is the responsibility of each snowmobile owner, according to Darren Roth, Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC) director for Green County.

“You will not receive a notice from the DNR as you do when the registrations expire,” Roth said in a press release on the new requirement.

“The trail passes will be good for one winter and expire on June 30th. The cost of registering a snowmobile in Wisconsin has changed from $30 for 2 years to $30 for 3 years,” Roth stated in the release.

For snowmobiles registered in Wisconsin, the trail passes will cost $30 per snowmobile

Price

if the owner is not a member of a snowmobile club and the AWSC. Trail passes can be ordered from the DNR by going to their website, or ordered directly from any DNR license sales agent.

“If you are a current member of a Wisconsin snowmobile club and the AWSC, you can order the trail passes for $10 from the AWSC,” Roth stated. “These passes need to be ordered through the AWSC website or the AWSC office.

Contact your club or the AWSC for more information.”

All snowmobile trail pass stickers come from the state of Wisconsin by the U.S. postal service.

Trail passes for snowmobiles registered in states other than Wisconsin have increased to $50. They are also available through the DNR and select vendors. Visit dnr.wi.gov and

All revenue generated from sale of snowmobile registration and trail passes goes into a segregated snowmobile account.

The money is used to fund and maintain Wisconsin snowmobile trails.

Snowmobile club volunteers and landowners who allow the trails to cross their property make the trails possible.

Anyone interested in joining The Stateline Trailblazers, based in Juda, can get information and a membership application from www.statelinetrailblazers.org .

The local club also has meetings on the first Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. in the Juda Community Center.

stated in a release on the work this fundraiser benefits. Green County’s elderly population is at risk of being food insecure.

Green Cares Food Pantry has distributed more than 100,000 pounds of food to Green County residents each year since 2010.

Even as community needs grow, the pantry has experienced several federal funding cuts.

Despite these cuts, the pantry continues to serve residents throughout Green County, with 15 percent of its clients served last year in Brodhead, 9 percent in Albany, and 2 percent in Juda.

Spotlight on Senior Health: Adverse Health Outcomes of Food Insecure Older Americans research project found food insecurity among individuals ages 60 and older has a negative impact on seniors’ health, nutrition, and overall well-being.

Hunger affects many others besides senior citizens.

A Second Harvest Food Bank survey of all of southwestern Wisconsin, including Green County, found one in five children faces hunger.

Hunger in children can lead to poor health, social and behavioral problems, poor development, impaired mental and physical functioning, and chronic illness.

In 2014, the Green Cares Food Pantry, from its base in Monticello, served 2,431 families or 7,826 individuals.

Without community support, those 7,286 individuals served last year would have gone without food they needed.

For more information, contact Barbara Duerst at 608938-4458 or Renee Henning at 608-558-6767.

SAFE HANDLING OF TURKEY

The cooking process kills any surface bacteria, so experts say it’s not necessary to wash the bird before cooking. This also prevents bacteria from being splashed around your kitchen. Thaw a frozen turkey in the refrigerator in a shallow baking pan to prevent juices from dripping onto other foods. Allow 24 hours of thawing time for every 5 lbs. of turkey.

When preparing the turkey, wash your hands and kitchen surfaces frequently to avoid spreading bacteria. Cook the turkey until it reaches a temperature of 165 degrees in the breast or stuffing and 180 degrees in the thickest part of the thigh. It’s safest to cook stuffing separately.

Albany school board reviews district, schools’ progress

By Beth Blakemoore Correspondent

ALBANY — School board members met on Nov. 9 to receive administrative reports, approve the tax levy, and consider the possible school district acquisition of an adjacent property.

The board also received a technology committee meeting report, and discussed further the possible acquisition of the Albany Hometown Herald newspaper.

“Educator effectiveness” was one of the focuses of the administrative reports.

Albany School District staff have worked on educator effectiveness for 2 months.

“Teachers have all completed their student or parent surveys. They have examined their results and have analyzed them and put their information into My Learning Plan,” according to Connie Gregerson, the Middle School Principal and Steven Guenther, Superintendent.

Elementary school staff briefed the board on the 4K and kindergarten class field trip to Skelly’s farm. There

was also a Halloween assembly and parade that featured some spooky characters.

The 4th grade class did a vocabulary activity for the assembly that showed off all the words that they could find that meant awesome.

Concerning Albany Middle School 7th and 8th graders have engaged in projects that explored the concept of heroes.

They have had several speakers who talked to the students about things they have done that made them heroes.

A project for 5th and 6th grade students has focused on Africa.

The students and their teachers had a successful showcase night for this educational project, which culminated in a benefit for African development programs on Nov. 6.

The event was planned completely by students and well attended by families.

The high schoolers enjoyed homecoming and a math meet. With regard to sports, in cross country the boys closely missed their district bid to compete in the State WIAA competition, whereas the girls’

team placed 4th.

A tax levy of $2,759,361 for 7 municipalities with our school district, of which Albany’s share is 20.5 percent, was approved.

The mill rate, at which property tax payers will pay for this amount, was $12.67 per $1,000 of assessed valuation.

A property that Bob Gressman may want to sell to the school is right across the road from the front entrance, according to Steven Guenther.

Guenther apprised the board of his meeting with Gressman’s daughter and son. The assessed value of the property is $124,000, and the adjacent lot is valued at $9,000.

Possible uses of the building if acquired for school district use include a day care, a project for the industrial arts class, part of the 4k program, and administrative offices. Ed Maksym also mentioned the possibility of using the property as a class for students

Albany 7th and 8th grade Heroes Showcase is Nov. 24

ALBANY — Seventh and eighth grade students have been studying heroes during November Project Time class.

Albany will get a chance to see the students’ completed work during a showcase event on Tuesday, Nov. 24, beginning at 9:30 a.m. in the high school gymnasium.

At the start of this unit on heroes, students were asked to define a hero. Students each produced individual hero definitions.

Yet many defined a hero as, “one who is very dedicated to helping people and is an inspiration to others as they may have had to overcome something.”

As a kick-off to this unit, four local heroes came in to speak to the students about what they do or have done in their lives.

Penny Graves spoke about being a cancer survivor and being positive about her diagnosis.

Mark Riedel spoke about his work on the volunteer fire department.

Bonnie Klapper spoke about how the local Albany Thrift Store operates and the good they have done for our community.

Megan Kubesh spoke about her experience in the armed services.

All four local heroes were very passionate about their experiences and offered to students a variety of different types of heroes for students to explore.

During this unit, students will choose a hero in their life to interview, write a biography about their hero based upon conversations with their heroes, and create an art sketch of this hero.

There will be a short introduction program to the Heroes Project. That will be followed by an open showcase of student hero presentations.

The showcase will be open until 11:15 a.m. on the 24th.

Community and family members are all welcome to attend.

Albany High School National Honor Society members, including left to right, Katie Trapp, Allie Lent, Halie Lyons and Syade McDermott, helped sponsor an American Red Cross blood drive at the school Nov. 9. There was a great turn out, with 27 units of blood collected. Students enjoyed volunteering and spending time with each donor. Each unit of blood can be used to save up to three lives, so every person coming out to donate blood was much appreciated. Students wanted to thank all the volunteers, organizers, and donators at this blood drive. Albany Lion’s Club will host another blood drive on Monday, Jan. 4. Go and share the gift of life!

DNR shares the facts on deer hunting rules Warden Wire is a periodic feature called FAQs: Special Edition - 2015 Gun-Deer Season. These FAQs were taken by the DNR Call Center (http://dnr. wi.gov/contact/), the Department of Natural Resources’ conservation wardens and the Bureau of Wildlife Management. Today’s topic in this first edition is e-registration.

The Call Center is staffed daily, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and offers bilingual service in Spanish and Hmong. The DNR Call Center staff is happy to help you with any and all of your questions. The number is 1-888936-7463.

Question 1: What’s going on with electronic registration this year? I remember it was limited last year.

Answer: Good question and thanks. Mandatory deer registration has been a requirement in Wisconsin since 1953. But this year -- 2015 -- marks the first full year of mandatory electronic registration for whitetailed deer and black bear.

Last year, the Department of Natural Resources ran an e-registration pilot involving about 200 hunters in each county.

There were more than 10,000 deer registered electronically throughout all deer seasons.

Wisconsin is using GameReg for this -- a paperless method of registering wildlife harvests by phone or online. Wisconsin already has had success using GameReg for turkey and geese.

We now are adding deer and bear to that list.

Question 2: When and how do I e-register my deer?

Answer: You have until 5 p.m. the day after the deer (or bear) was harvested to register it during all seasons. That includes the 9-day gun-deer season.

You have options to do the e-registration. You can do it using your phone, online or visit

a business that has listed itself as a registration station. That means the business has phone and Internet access for hunters to perform their e-registrations.

Question 3: How would I register by phone?

Answer: Call this toll-free number (1-844-GAME-REG).

You will be asked a short list of questions which takes a few minutes. The information the hunter provides will then be loaded to the system and available for department use.

Question 4: How about registering online -- on the Internet?

Answer: Easy! Go to gamereg.wi.gov and answer the few questions. It takes less than 2 minutes to do this.

Question 5: Will there be a smartphone app or link in the Pocket Ranger app that can take hunters to the e-registration site, and show where the registration stations are?

Answer: Yes. The Pocket Ranger app will have a link to the e-registration system. You’ll also find a searchable list of walk-in registration stations on the app link. The list of registration stations also is on the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov and search the keyword ‘deer.’

Question 6: What kinds of questions will I be asked when I call or go online to register my deer?

Answer: Questions such as what is your customer ID number, the deer’s sex, county/deer management unit, date of harvest.

Question 7: Do I have to have the deer with me if I use one of those registration stations?

Answer: No, you can leave the deer hanging at camp and drive to the station without it.

But you will need your hunting license.

Once you return to your deer, you must write the registration confirmation number on the car-

cass tag to show proof of registration. Try to use a ball-point pen or a permanent marker. A gel-type pen tends to smear.

Pencils don’t work well on this surface.

Question 8: What happens if I get back to the deer and I don’t have a pen or a good marker to write the number, is there a way to get the number again when I do have the right marker?

Answer: Sure! Just call the DNR call center at 1-888-9367463 between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. A customer service rep can get that number for you. You just have to remember the registration is not complete until the number is written on the tag.

Question 9: What happens if a warden checks my registered deer? How will the warden know it is a real confirmation number?

Answer: The wardens can verify your confirmation number through their phones or laptops.

Question 10: Where can I find a place to hunt?

Answer: The Public Lands Atlas is at http://dnr.wi.gov/ topic/lands/PAL/. This is an online atlas with all DNR properties, most federal lands and those owned by counties. The maps are downloadable to print at home. The atlas has 441 maps and contact information for the various land managers.

Contact the landowner to confirm hunting is allowed before you go to that property. You can find the online atlas by going to

the DNR website at dnr.wi.gov and search this keyword in the white search box: atlas.

Question 11: Can I hunt in state parks?

Answer: Generally speaking, most of the state parks do have some open areas. But some do not, due to location near residential areas or environmental factors.

Check what’s allowed in each park at dnr.wi.gov, and search hunting state parks.

A vehicle admission sticker is required for any vehicle in a state park.

Question 12: I hear about people hunting on lands in the Managed Forest Law. How do I get an OK to hunt on those areas and where are they?

Answer: The Managed Forest Law and the Forest Crop Law are incentive programs for landowners who use sustainable forest methods for harvesting, wildlife management, water quality and more. When a landowner joins these programs, the landowner chooses to allow -or not to allow -- public recreation on his or her land.

Lands open to public recreation are only open for hunting, fishing, hiking, sight-seeing and cross-country skiing. Fo information on approximate locations of these areas, the DNR has an online mapping tool on its website -- MFL open land.

You’ll see a link for “Find a forester” -- use this to contact the local DNR forester who has responsibility for that area and

can help.

Question 13: What is the Voluntary Public Access program and can I hunt on those lands?

Answer: Voluntary Public Access provides financial incentives to private landowners who then open their lands to public hunting, fishing, trapping and wildlife viewing.

If you want to hunt on these lands, go to the DNR website and read about it -- and please review the code of conduct for these properties.

Question: How has the Pocket Ranger App changed?

Answer: The Pocket Ranger App has a lot of information to help you. You can find places to hunt, rules and regs, license information, GPS mapping features and more. It is available in the Apple App Store or the Android Market on your device.

It’s free.

Question 15: What is new this season for antlerless permits?

Answer: There are antlerless permits for specific types of lands, zones and deer management units. The reason for these permits is to more closely manage the deer populations on each land type with the hope of enhancing the hunting experiences on public land.

Question 16: What’s the bonus antlerless permit process?

Answer: At the time of purchase of bonus antlerless permits, hunters are asked to pick the zone, unit and if they are

Green-Rock hunters give safety educators big boost

By Tony Ends Editor

BRODHEAD — County Line Sportsman’s Club members gathered Saturday, Nov. 14, to present a $1,000 donation to Green County Hunters Education instructors.

Club members Cathy and Mike Disch hosted the group at their Bridges Bar and Grill in Brodhead.

The club held a banquet in September at which they sponsored a raffle for a youth shotgun to raise money for the donation.

“We’d like to extend a spe-

cial thanks to Matt and Willi Hanson for the initial donation for that raffle,” said Steve McBride, for the club. “The club matched that amount for our donation to the hunter safety program.

“We recognize the importance of hunter safety, and we wanted to support our instructors,” he said.

Club members try to meet once a month during the offseason, rotating meeting places to communities along the county line. Meetings focus on service projects the club can undertake to help area individ-

uals and families in need.

Members combined the check presentation Saturday with the group’s first squirrel hunt. There were 24 individuals and 14 teams signed up for the squirrel hunt, McBride said.

“We’re getting ready Dec. 14 to sponsor a youth pheasant hunt at the Magnolia Game Farm. Anyone interested in that event or in joining our club is welcome,” McBride said.

Contact the club through Cathy and Mike Disch at Bridges for additional information about club meeting dates, events and outings.

Benefit helps rural Rock County families for 17th holiday season

By Tony Ends Editor

TOWN OF MAGNOLIA — Volunteers of Children’s Christmas Benefit Charities Inc. are asking the public to send them names of rural Rock County children who need help over the holidays.

The all-volunteer organization delivers food and gifts anonymously and confidentially to children in families, whom other charities and organizations typically do not serve.

“Many families are going through temporary crisis, health and medical problems, or job loss and can use a little help this holiday season,” stated organizer and founder Brian Knudson, in a prepared statement, seeking referrals.

“If you know of a family that can use help this holiday season with food and gifts for the children, please contact me at 608 289-2498 or email children-

schristmasbeneift@yahoo.com,” Knudson stated.

The organization needs referrals by Friday, Dec. 4. This will give volunteers time to make purchases and fill orders before Christmas.

Deliveries will be made on Saturday, Dec. 19, beginning at 8 a.m. If volunteers do not find anyone home, they will continue attempting delivery until noon on Christmas Eve. Knudson started Christmas Charities Benefit 17 years ago.

He leads the benefit annually, taking referrals from churches, schools, law enforcement agencies, neighbors, social workers and anonymous individuals.

“Names of families are not necessary, only ages of the children in the family and the address and phone number if possible,” he stated in the prepared release.

“We keep addresses confidential.

We handle referrals discreetly.

Everyone is treated with respect and courtesy.

Wisconsin legislative session: An extraordinary lost opportunity I am honored to serve the 15th Senate District as your State Senator.

I wish I had something better JANIS to report to RINGHAND you about State Senator what our state 15th Senate Senate did in District your service this past Friday, Nov. 6.

The State Senate was called into Extraordinary Session by the Senate Majority leader.

What was the “extraordinary” occasion?

After weeks of arm twisting, the Majority leader announced he had secured the votes necessary to make sweeping changes to dismantle the Government Accountability Board, increase corporate campaign influence and enable secret coordination between politicians and outside special interest groups.

The Senate is not scheduled to be on the floor again until January 2016.

Unfortunately, we were not coming together in the Senate to discuss ways to help the workers who are going to be laid off in Janesville by John Deere’s decision to relocate warehousing and sub-manufacturing work to Horicon.

We were not meeting to figure out how to help the 1,000 employees who will lose their jobs as a result of Oscar Meyer’s decision to leave Wisconsin.

Addressing these and other important economic issues would have been worthy of an Extraordinary Session.

For decades, Wisconsin has prided itself on the way we conduct our elections.

Compared to most states, we have high voter participation in every part of the state, from people from all walks of life.

Yet our legislature is changing our election laws in ways that will make significant and in some cases radical changes to the way elections are run in Wisconsin.

Republicans, who currently govern Wisconsin under virtual one-party rule, proposed sweeping changes to loosen our campaign finance laws, to eliminate the non-partisan Government Accountability Board and

replace it with a group of handpicked political appointees.

Many of us in government fear that the new Elections Board will be filled with political cronies and attorneys who will make it more difficult to investigate criminal misconduct, ethical violations and campaign shenanigans.

At a time when distrust for partisan politics is at an all-time high, we need more accountability from both politicians and those who are bankrolling elections – not less accountability.

The vast majority of people in Wisconsin believe there is already too much money in politics. They believe our political system is operating under the Gold Rule – not the Golden Rule.

This Gold Rule now doubles campaign contribution limits. It allows corporations to give thousands of dollars to political parties and committees operated and controlled by legislative leaders.

It permits party bosses to coordinate with outside special inter-

est groups who do not have to disclose where or how they get their money.

The bottom line is that these changes will lead to more negative ads on your TV and radio, more political flyers in your mailbox and more robo-calls interrupting your dinner and Packer games.

Efforts to undermine the nonpartisan Government Accountability Board, to allow corporate contributions to flood our elections, and to enable party bosses to coordinate campaign activity with outside special interest groups are misguided.

Changes to our election laws, ethical standards, legislative redistricting and campaign finance are designed to give a political advantage to one party.

We should be working to give Wisconsin an advantage by focusing on good schools, good roads and strong communities rather than angling for partisan advantages that will do little for the people of our state.

Introducing the HE. So smart it can cut water, salt and energy usage up to 46%.

Brodhead Tire helps customers get vehicles ready for winter

By Tony Ends Staff Editor

BRODHEAD — Technology in the automotive world is ever-changing, making it hard for a motorist to keep pace.

A little sound advice – and reliable service – from a qualified mechanic or technician can go a long way.

Some synthetic oil manufacturers, for instance, claim cars can travel 10,000 miles between oil changes. That’s a big adjustment in thinking for generations who grew up on lubrication schedules that advised oil changes every 3,500 to 5,000 miles.

Can a person really drive two times, three times, as far between oil changes, without causing problems for an engine?

“Personally, I think more frequent oil changes provides cheap insurance,” said Tim Babler, who helps run Brodhead Tire and Service Center’s garage for owners Stacy and Dawn Baumgartner.

“Oil changes depend a lot on the driving. Is it distance road miles in a commute up to Madison, or mostly errand driving around town? Condensation builds up in constant fluctuation of temperatures, without a chance for that moisture and impurities to burn off,” Babler said.

“Engines run richer when the engine is cold; you get more by-products accumulating in oil over time.”

With winter months of driving in freezing temperatures, ice and snow approaching, preventative maintenance can save a vehicle owner a lot of cold weather hassle.

Brodhead Tire still offers a basic oil change for $19.95.

Scheduling the change now in October provides an opportune time for pre-winter inspection.

“Now’s the time of year that you want to check the tires, the battery and coolant. That’s something we do for customers at no charge,” said Babler,

The chemicals in the coolant wear out over time.

“There are a lot more corrosion inhibitors and lubricants in antifreeze now, but they do break down. Heater cores have gotten smaller and smaller, too, and it’s easy to plug them up.”

Ensuring a battery is at an adequate performance level is important for a car heading into winter, too.

“A battery might start right up in 50- and 60-degree weather, but when it gets down below Zero, and oil’s thicker, with the engine turn-

Continued from page 12 automotive, roll in a changing world, too.

When a household can’t afford to purchase all four tires on a vehicle at the same time, what does conventional wisdom advise about installing one pair of new tires? Should they go on the front or the back of the vehicle?

“There are two schools of thought on replacing two tires at a time,” Babler said. “Some companies now advise it’s best to put the new tires on the back for traction.

“Many cars are being re-designed to put even more weight in the front of vehicles, where engines already weighted vehicles. You don’t want the rear tires to lock up or turn the

vehicle in icy conditions.

“But the front tires are the traction; they do most of the braking, and they are supposed to wear quicker on the front of a vehicle. The best thing is to keep all four tires to the best tread, as evenly as possible, but I personally think purchase of just two new tires should go to the front of the car,” Babler said.

Brodhead Tire is still selling used vehicles that staff have first checked over completely.

Prices on most used vehicles are under $5,000. For sales on vehicles priced at more than $2,500, Brodhead Tire offers a 3-month, 50 percent warranty for parts and labor.

Where should this new tire go in a pair on your car – the front or the back? Brodhead Tire technicians share two schools of thought with interested customers.

USDA to provide funding to help butterflies survive MADISON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) last week announced a new conservation effort to help agricultural producers in Wisconsin and nine other states provide food and habitat for monarch butterflies.

This targeted effort in the Midwest and southern Great Plains by USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will invest $4 million in 2016 to help combat the iconic species’ decline.

“These once-common butterflies are growing less familiar, and we know private lands will continue to play a crucial role in aiding the recovery of this species that serves as an indicator of ecosystem health,” said Jimmy Bramblett, NRCS State Conservationist in Wisconsin.

“America’s farmers, ranchers and forest landowners are stewards of the land, and this effort helps them make volun-

tary improvements that benefit working lands and monarchs.”

The orange-and-black butterflies are known for their annual, multi-generational migration from central Mexico to as far north as Canada.

Monarch populations have decreased significantly over the past two decades, in part because of the decrease in native plants like milkweed – the sole source of food for monarch caterpillars.

NRCS will provide technical and financial assistance to help producers and conservation partners make butterfly-friendly improvements to farms and ranches.

In Wisconsin, NRCS is focusing on integrating milkweed and high-nectar plants along field borders, in buffers along waterways or around wetlands, in pastures and other suitable locations.

Assistance is available to

producers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin.

These states are at the heart of the monarch migration.

The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and remaining funds from the former Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) provide funding for this work. Additionally, NRCS is offering support for related enhancements through the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) to establish monarch habitat. These enhancements are available nationwide.

NRCS accepts EQIP and CSP applications from producers on a continuous basis.

Producers interested in participating should contact their local USDA service center to learn more. WRP funds will be used to enhance monarch habitat on existing wetland easements.

These conservation improvements not only benefit butterflies, they also strengthen agricultural operations, support other beneficial insects and wildlife and improve other natural resources. Appropriate buffer habitats and better rangeland and pasture management practices reduce erosion, increase soil health, inhibit the expansion of invasive species and provide food and habitat for insects and wildlife.

NRCS’ effort contributes to a multi-agency, international strategy to reverse the monarch’s population decline in North America, estimated to have decreased from one billion butterflies in 1995 down to about 34 million today.

The Obama administration, through the National Strategy to Protect Pollinators and Their Habitat, has a goal of increasing the eastern population of monarchs back up to

225 million by 2020.

Producers not in the regions targeted by this effort are also eligible for assistance to make conservation improvements to their land that can benefit monarch butterflies and many other pollinators, such as honey bees and native bees. More than 36 practices offered by NRCS can provide benefits to pollinators.

Additionally, this effort works hand-in-hand with a 3-year-old NRCS honey bee conservation effort in the Midwest and Northern Plains.

Learn more about the Monarch Habitat Development Project and other pollinators.

Study panel makes steady progress Albany Community 1st toward rules to safeguard health hosts public meeting

By Tony Ends Editor

TOWN OF SYLVESTER — Members of a study committee gathering large scale livestock operation information to frame local health and safety ordinances continues to meet bi-weekly.

Pollution experiences from industrialized livestock production in California, methods of monitoring water and dealing with algae blooms from waste runoff, even industrialscale noise were all discussed this past week in deliberations that will run well into December.

A team of scientists is also continuing to gather data and research on health and envi-

ronmental impacts of largescale livestock confinement to assist the study committee.

The volunteer scientists’ goal is to present a white paper and summary to the township and Green County on Dec. 6.

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the federal Environmental Protection Agency and state lawmakers will also receive the scientists’ report and recommendations.

Sylvester’s town study committee will take up the scientists’ recommendations, beginning Dec. 7.

Residents of Sylvester on the town’s panel will use the scientists’ work to inform

221114

large-scale livestock facility siting ordinances to safeguard health and safety.

It’s all to determine ways that Sylvester’s town board can protect wells and streams from the impact of permitted operations that will bundle waste production of more than 50 farms (at the present average herd size in Green County) onto a single property.

Green County has four “Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations” or CAFOs. A 2004 state law that made large-scale livestock facility regulation uniform across Wisconsin’s more than 1200 townships has ballooned the number of CAFOs from a few dozen to more than 260.

That state statute, however, specifically made provision for rural townships and counties to condition CAFO construction where they can demonstrate health and safety supported with scientific findings.

A fifth CAFO, twice the size of Green County’s present largest CAFO, has been proposed for construction in Sylvester Township. If it meets state conditions and regulations, it will operate a few miles west of Brodhead.

The Tuls family, which already operates two CAFOs in Nebraska and a third since 2011 in Rock County, Wis., wants to build that CAFO. Their planner from the DeLong Company based in Clinton told Green County’s Land and Water Conservation

Orfordville’s Strzok part of UW-Whitewater volleyball conference title WHITEWATER — Morgan Strzok, an Orfordville native and Parkview High School graduate, is part of UW-Whitewater volleyball’s 2015 Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament championship and NCAA Division III Tournament team.

The No. 11 Warhawks posted their conference-leading 15th WIAC Tournament title in November, defeating 14thranked UW-Stevens Point 25-17, 26-24, 25-19 in the tournament’s final match at UWOshkosh.

With the victory - their 21st in their last 22 matches - the Warhawks (31-4 overall) clinched the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament.

UW-Whitewater hosted an eight-team Regional round of

the 2015 NCAA Division III Women’s Volleyball Championship Nov. 12-14, at Russell Arena in the Williams Center. The Warhawks began play Thursday in a first round match against Northwestern (Minn.) at Russell Arena.

UW-Whitewater made its 24th consecutive appearance in the national tournament.
