From 4-H to the Olympics: A story of determination
Through dedication, countless hours of hard work, and unwavering commitment, Lauren O’Connor’s journey led her from showing animals in her Green County 4-H Club to earning a spot on the U.S. Women’s Olympic Rowing team at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.
Inspired by her father’s experience growing up on a farm, Lauren’s parents hoped that raising and showing animals in 4-H would teach Lauren and her brother the value of responsibility. When Lauren looks back on her time in 4-H, she speaks with admiration, crediting the program for boosting her confidence, particularly in situations where she felt out of her element or needed to present herself more professionally.
As Lauren entered high school, her focus shifted toward sports like track and volleyball. She became in-
creasingly curious about how she might continue her athletic pursuits at UW-Madison.
A high school friend’s encouragement led her to attend a rowing open house, and despite being completely new to the sport, she embraced the challenge.
For Lauren, rowing was more than a test of physical endurance; it was a way to connect with new people. Her dedication paid off her
junior year when she earned a spot on the varsity boat.
Along with many other achievements, Lauren went on to compete in the 2023 U.S. Rowing National Selection, the 2023 and 2024 World Rowing Cup, and ultimately, the 2024 Summer Olympics.
She continues to train in New York on an elite rowing team and hopes to qualify again for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Lauren encourages younger 4-H members to step outside their comfort zones. She says, “4-H is where you can meet people with different skill sets that might lead you to a new interest.” She emphasizes that 4-H is a valuable resource for young people to build connections, discover their passions, and explore new opportunities.

Holiday project to support local families in need
Family Services of Southern Wisconsin is proud to announce the launch of its 17th annual Holiday Project, an initiative designed to bring joy to local families facing financial challenges during the holiday season.
Last year, the Holiday Project successfully provided gifts and holiday cheer to 128 families, impacting 340 individuals across the community. This effort was made possible thanks to the donors’ overwhelming generosity and the volunteers’ dedication.
Reflecting on the event’s ongoing impact, Paige Allen, Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator, shared, “Seeing how the community rallied together for the 2023 Holiday Project is truly inspiring. Families who might have gone without were able to experience a memorable holiday season. It’s a testament to the power of community support, and we’re excited to build on that success this year.”
The 2024 Holiday Project aims to expand its reach and provide critical support to
more families experiencing financial and resource hardships. Donations will be accepted through Dec. 16. They welcome gifts, wrapping supplies, and financial contributions are also greatly appreciated. As they get closer to the distribution date, they will be reaching out to volunteers, who play an essential role in the success of the project. Every contribution, whether it’s a donation or time, makes a significant difference in ensuring that families can experience the joy of the holiday season.
For those interested in contributing or volunteering, please contact Paige Allen at 608-365-1244 or via email at pallen@familyservices1.org.

Gov. Evers, DNR announce stewardship projects
Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), recently announced 12 projects across the state have been approved for more than $7.7 million in grant funding through the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.
“The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program has been a pillar of our state’s proud heritage of conservation, protecting our natural resources, and preserving our vast and valuable natural areas and public spaces,” said Gov. Evers. “Wisconsin’s tradition of being good stewards of our lands has long been supported through the Stewardship Program, and I’m excited that we’re continuing to build upon our conservation efforts through these 12 projects that will help bolster the accessibility, enjoyment, and preservation of our natural spaces in local communities across our state.”
The Knowles-Nelson Stew-
ardship Program gives the DNR spending authority to support recreational infrastructure on state and municipal properties, including boat ramp facilities, as well as campsite, restroom, and trail improvements through grants available to local governments and nonprofit organizations. The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program also enables the DNR to purchase land and easement additions to state properties to aid in the preservation of Wisconsin’s unique outdoor spaces.
Stewardship funds are distributed under six categories:
• Local Government Grants for park land and development;
• Nonprofit Grants for conservation land acquisition;
• County Forests Grants for county forest acquisition;
• Recreational Boating Grants for recreational boating facilities;
• Friends Grants to local state property “friends of” groups; and
• Motorized Recreation Grants for snowmobile and ATV trails.
Gov. Evers has long championed the advancement of critical stewardship projects in the state of Wisconsin, and this announcement comes as earlier this year, the Wisconsin Supreme Court issued a decision in Evers v. Marklein, a lawsuit brought by Gov. Evers last year against the Wisconsin State Legislature, which argued Republican-controlled committees such as the Joint Committee on Finance (JFC) were unconstitutionally and unlawfully obstructing basic government functions and operations, including by blocking conservation projects under the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. In its decision, the Court determined Republican lawmakers’ actions to block conservation projects were unconstitutional. As a result, projects considered by the DNR for Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program fund-
ing no longer require JFC approval, allowing the agency to exercise its expertise and longstanding, constitutionally decided power to administer these funds.
Brief summaries of each of the 12 projects approved for funding are available below
Ashland | $1.02 million Funded by the KnowlesNelson Stewardship Recreational Boating Facilities grant, funding will assist with the development of an ADA-accessible boat launch facility at Kreher Park. The new launch facility will be located on a former superfund site that has been approved for recreational development. It will replace an old, deteriorated boat launch that has been filled in with sediment and timber that has begun to rot and fail, causing a hazard. The project will contribute to the local economy by providing high-quality boating access to See PROJECTS, Page 3
DNR asks public to report black bear den locations
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) encourages the public to report any black bear den locations across Wisconsin to help with an ongoing study on black bear reproduction.
The Black Bear Litter and Diet Survey will generate new estimates of black bear reproductive rates within each bear management zone, and these estimates will improve the accuracy of the population models used in each zone.
Additionally, researchers are investigating a connection between consumption of human food sources and bear reproduction since diet can affect cub survival rates and litter sizes.
The study will be entering its fourth year of surveying occupied dens in the Wisconsin bear range. The research team will take den reports statewide but is looking for more dens to survey in bear management zones C, D and E, which cover central and western Wisconsin.
“It is important for the study that we get collars out in each of the bear management zones,” said Dr. Jennifer Price Tack, DNR large carnivore and elk research scientist.
“This will allow us to better inform bear population estimates for each zone, which in turn support management decision making.”
The public is encouraged to report as much information as possible about occupied black bear dens without approaching or disturbing them.
Public reporting is essential to this project. Bear dens aren’t frequently found, so it is important that people report them to the DNR when they do. Reporting dens helps the DNR meet the sample size requirements for the study and increases the accuracy of the black bear population estimate.
Helpful information to report to the bear research team includes:
• GPS coordinates
• Photo of the den, ideally showing it in relation to its surroundings, from a safe distance (approximately 30 yards)
• Description of the site and surrounding area
• Any information on the bear(s) and bear activity near the site
Price Tack and her team will work with den reporters and landowners to visit the den before deciding to survey it, determining if it is safe, accessible and in use. Den reporters, landowners and/ or land managers are typically invited to help if there is a planned survey for the reported den. The team may not be able to visit every reported den location this season. Dens that are known to be currently occupied will be prioritized.
What Data Will Be Collected
DNR staff will collect biological data from these dens, including sex, age, weight and body measurements. Mother bears, or sows, will be outfitted with a GPS collar, one of the most important pieces for collecting data. Collars help staff learn more about bear foraging behavior and locate the sows in the following years. Revisiting the sows will help staff determine the reproductive success of each sow, such as her litter frequency, litter size and the survival rates of the cubs.
While surveying, bear health and safety are a top priority. Designated staff monitor the sow’s breathing and heart rate while the rest of the team quickly gathers the needed samples and measurements. Any cubs present at the den are carefully weighed and sexed. Cubs are tucked into staff’s coats to keep them warm because the cubs cannot yet regulate their own temperature. Once researchers finish collecting samples and fitting the GPS collar, the sow and cubs are put back into their den. This process can be seen in a recent episode of PBS Wisconsin’s “Wisconsin Life” series.
Looking Ahead
The Black Bear Litter and Diet Survey team will continue to survey dens for the next four to five years. Over that time, the team hopes to get 100 collars out across the bear management zones, with approximately 20 collars per zone.

Preschoolers go on a ‘tiger hunt’ Juda Schools hold annual meeting
The preschoolers at Albertson Memorial Library went on a tiger hunt and found 35 tigers hiding in the Community Room. They practiced putting events in order for the book “Oh, No!” which is about a tiger who falls into a big hole. Then they retold the story “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak. This was the fifth time they’ve read this story, and the preschoolers did a great job answering the question: What happened next? Young children should be sure to come for Albertson Memorial Library’s Preschool Storytime during KNOWvember. It is held every Tuesday at 10 a.m.
Voters at the annual meeting of the Juda School District approved two mill rates at the meeting.
The mill rate will be $10.31 if the referendum passes and will be $9.91 if the referendum fails. The mill rate for 2023/2024 was $10.96. The amount levied in 2023/2024 was $1,916,435 and the proposed levy if the referendum passes will be $1,916,485 and will be $1,842,029 if the referendum fails. The district had to use $40,068 from the general fund balance in 2023/2024. If the referendum passes the district will be able to put $10,000 back into the fund balance and if the referendum fails will need to use $150,755 from the fund balance to cover expenses.
In other action the voters:
• Approved the board salaries of $100 for the President, $100 for the Clerk, $60 for the Vice President, regular meetings of $35 per member, special meetings of $25 per member and $30 per member for the annual meeting.
• Approved the 2024/2025
Rock County LGBTQ+ to hold Friendsgiving
The Rock County LGBTQ+ Committee, in collaboration with Yellow Brick Road Organization and Janesville Pride, is inviting all LGBTQ+ individuals to join them for a special Friendsgiving event on Thursday, Nov. 21, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Big Hill Park in Beloit.
This event offers LGBTQ+ community members a chance to come together, share a meal, and build meaningful connections. In a world where not everyone has a place to gather for the holidays, this Friendsgiving is designed to be a warm, inclusive space where everyone in the LGBTQ+ commu-
nity is welcomed.
“Every year, this event brings people together to share traditions, kindness, and food during a time when it can be difficult to feel accepted and loved if you are in the LGBTQ+ community. Together we can celebrate the safety of being who we are,” says Stephanie Hormig-Dismuke, LGBTQ+ survivor advocate at Family Services of So. Wisconsin.
Attendees are asked to pre-register by Tuesday, Nov. 19 to help event coordinators with their final planning. Be sure to register what dish one is bringing to pass for the shared meal as well. This is an

Soldiers inducted into Hall of Honor in state
By Paul Gorman WISCONSIN
The Wisconsin Army National Guard recognized the career contributions of two retired soldiers on Oct. 19, during a Hall of Honor Induction Ceremony at the Department of Military Affairs facility on Madison’s north side.
In the presence of family, friends, leadership, and service members, retired Col. Julie Gerety and retired Col. Jeffery Paulson became the 75th and 76th Guardsmen to be inducted.
Gerety served as the Brigade Commander for the 64th Troop Command while concurrently serving as the fulltime director of Joint Operations, Training and Strategy. She was first to establish a leadership summit showcasing Wisconsin Army National Guard history and the profession of arms.
“My greatest privilege was being the commander of Troop Command, and I am forever grateful to those who served with me,” Gerety said.
“It was an extraordinary experience where we united to develop, execute and embody the ethos of the profession of arms.”
During her tenure as brigade commander, Gerety prioritized leader development and professional mentorship, and remains in demand as a mentor for Wisconsin Army National Guard officers, warrant officers and noncommissioned officers.
Brig. Gen. Matthew Strub, Wisconsin’s deputy adjutant general for Army and host of the Hall of Honor Ceremony, recounted the personal impact Gerety had on his own career.
“You always took time to provide me council and advice while you were my commander and well after, to include into retirement. And I know you do that for many, many, others as well.” said Strub. “This is a better organization, and we have better leaders because of your service.”
Paulson served as commander of Detachment 1
Higher Headquarters 32nd Brigade Aviation Section, commander of the 832nd Air Ambulance Company, the operations officer of 1st Battalion 147th Aviation, and commander of Army Aviation Support Facility #1 and #2. He culminated his Wisconsin

career serving 10 years as the deputy chief of staff for safety and aviation, and eight as chairman of the State Aviation Office Advisory Council.
During his career, Paulson deployed in support of multiple natural disasters and worldwide contingency operations to include Operations Desert Spring, Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. He is a Master Army Aviator with over 4,700 flight hours piloting UH-1 Iroquois, OH-58 Kiowa Warrior and UH-60
Black Hawk helicopters, further serving as both a maintenance test pilot and flight examiner.
“You provided me countless opportunities to grow, learn and develop as a leader, putting me into crucible assignments which shaped me into the person I am today,” Strub said of Paulson. “Your leadership of the Wisconsin Army National Guard aviation community has made it into the competent, safe and professional organization it is today.”
As part of the ceremony, the newest Hall of Honor members were each presented a certificate of commendation on behalf of Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers. Additionally, all current and former inductees in attendance were presented a custom lapel pin signifying their membership in the Wisconsin Army National Guard Hall of Honor.
“The Hall of Honor is all about honoring those who have gone before us and left an indelible mark on the Wisconsin Army National Guard,” said Strub. “We are only able to serve in such a great organization today because of all the outstanding leaders who paved the way.”
In the presence of family, friends, leadership, and service members, retired Col. Julie Gerety became the 75th Guardsman to be inducted. Gerety served as the Brigade Commander for the 64th Troop Command while concurrently serving as the full-time director of Joint Operations, Training and Strategy.
