Gathering circle connects rural women in Green, Rock counties

By Tony Ends Editor

BRODHEAD — A small circle formed in this city a second time this past week.

It was a circle of rural women, sharing personal stories, honoring each other’s stories.

Though not a faith-based group, they met in the warmth and comfort of Bethlehem

Lutheran’s fellowship hall for conversation, support and a meal. The circle completes rural connections; it fills a rural need.

“This is part of a statewide program called the Wisconsin Rural Women’s Initiative, and this was our second meeting,” said Ellen Schwartz, one of two facilitators for the area group.

Pastor’s Corner

What can make life more than dust in the wind?

By Russ Doebler Living Word

While with the rock band Kansas in 1977, Kerry Livgren wrote Dust in the Wind.

In the song, Livgren pondered the meaning of life and concluded that “Everything is dust in the wind.”

Livgren wrote the song, not just to make music, but because he was searching.

Dust in the Wind was an expression of where his search had brought him: Life is hopeless and pointless.

His conclusions are similar to those of the writer of the Biblical book Ecclesiastes. Solomon, the likely author, had everything. He was king, unbelievably rich, and had 1,000 wives and concubines.

Solomon possessed staggering wisdom. He should have been satisfied in every way imaginable. Yet his reflections in Ecclesiastes are pessimistic and depressing. He begins and ends the book saying everything is meaningless—life, pleasure, wisdom—it’s all meaningless.

Being wise is meaningless, he said, since the wise die like fools. Working hard is meaningless, since our earnings are left to another who may be a fool. We’re born and die with nothing. By day we work in pain and can’t sleep at night.

Solomon hated life. The pursuits of life, he said, are like “chasing the wind,” similar to Livgren’s song Dust in the Wind.

It’s amazing that God would allow such a book to be included in the Bible. But through it, we can get inside the mind of someone who started strong in the faith but didn’t stick with it.

Solomon had been the wisest man on earth, but he apparently thought his wisdom exempted him from restrictions God had placed on kings, restrictions such as: Don’t have too many wives.

Solomon must have thought he was the exception that proved the rule and could

handle 1,000 lovers. However, these wives introduced him to their gods, and he abandoned faith in the true God. There are lessons we can learn from Solomon—not so much from what he wrote, but from what he didn’t write.

First, you won’t find any mention of eternal life in the book.

Second, prayer is not mentioned in Ecclesiastes.

Third, you won’t find God mentioned by name in the book.

Ecclesiastes is the only book in the entire Bible that talks about God without mentioning God’s name (translated “the Lord” in most Bibles). Solomon knew about God, but he had lost personal relationship with God. As a result, he describes life as being full of frustration, affliction and anger.

Can you relate? Is life frustrating for you? Do you feel afflicted by life? Do you feel crabby or irritable more than you feel content?

If so, it’s time to take a serious look at your life and see whether you’re missing what Solomon was missing.

Unlike Solomon, focus on eternal life—beyond this life— instead of stressing to pursue that which you cannot take with you.

Unlike Solomon, pray for God’s guidance. Don’t rely on your own strength and wisdom.

Unlike Solomon, pursue a relationship with God. Knowing about God is not enough.

Solomon knew all about God, yet his life was pointless.

Knowing God, through personal relationship, gives meaning to this meaningless life.

While I was in college in the mid-80s, I had the chance to hear Livgren speak. He shared that some time after writing Dust in the Wind, his spiritual journey led him to faith in Jesus Christ. His life was transformed.

No longer seeing life as a meaningless pursuit of the wind, he experienced purpose through faith in Jesus. If you have not experienced God the way Livgren has, I encourage you to do so, or your life will be only dust in the wind.

Wisconsin’s 164th nine-day deer hunting season sees increase in license sales and harvest MADISON — More than 600,000 deer hunters took part in the nine-day gun deer season in Wisconsin.

Preliminary numbers show an increase in both deer registration numbers and license sales through the end of the nine-day season.

This year’s preliminary nine-day gun deer hunt registration figures indicate a total of 204,725 deer harvested during the nine-day season, compared to 199,583 in 2014.

Since this is the first year using the GameReg system, department staff are verifying preliminary data to make sure it is correct. It is possible

that this number may change slightly following additional evaluation.

“I’m pleased to see an increase in deer harvest numbers from last year,” said Bob Nack, DNR big game section chief. “Hunters experienced varying levels of success throughout the state and had an enjoyable time with family and friends.”

To view current registration totals and updates, visit dnr. wi.gov and search “weekly totals.”

To access harvest statistics from previous years, search “harvest summary.”

In 2015, preliminary

nine-day harvest numbers were collected through the GameReg system. Hunters were required to register their deer by 5 p.m. the day after harvest, as opposed to 5 p.m. the day after the nine-day season closed in years past.

DNR customer service staff received positive feedback from hunters throughout the nine-day season as they learned to use the new system.

Hunters who forgot to register their deer are required to do so, even if beyond the 5 p.m. daily deadline.

For more info, search “electronic registration.”

• GATHERING

Continued from page 1 teaching. “We do some activity around the theme,” she said.

“Confidentiality is the first rule of the circle; some stories we tell are good; some are bad.

Every circle is different. The circle keeps us from being isolated.”

Lynch describes herself as a “transplanted city slicker who married into a farm.” Her husband milked dairy cows until he had both knees replaced. He sold most of the cow herd in 2012 during the historic drought and started converting to smaller animals that are easier to manage.

He is now milking about 70 dairy goats, shipping his milk to a creamery in Belmont.

“Teaching is helping people,” said Lynch, who taught both in Janesville and Brodhead.

“This rural women’s initiative fulfills my need to keep helping people.”

Schwatz, who drives to the new gathering circle in Brodhead, lives in New Glarus and works out of Monroe. She retired back to her roots in Green County from Madison, where she rose through the ranks to captain with the police force there.

“The rural women’s initiative gives me a chance to connect with other women,” she said. “It’s a great social outlet. I became very interested in it because of my new work, but I found it worthwhile.

“I’m a good listener; sometimes that’s what women need most, someone to listen without judgment. This is very affirming for me.”

Schwartz started working with a sexual assault recovery program as a volunteer 8 or 9 years ago. She is now Green County Rural Populations Advocate and Outreach with this program of Family Services.

The sexual assault recovery program has a 24-hour hotline: 866 666-4579, and Schwartz

can also be reached by email at eschwartz@ sarpwi.com The first meeting of the rural women’s initiative in Brodhead was in October.

Mary Bub of Elkhorn, who started the Wisconsin Rural Women’s Initiative, helped Schwartz and Lynch get started locally as facilitators.

Bub’s work has spread quietly over the state for more than a decade, with facilitators from her group travelling to more than 55 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties. They have engaged and empowered more than 2,200 rural women with the initiative’s gathering circles.

“This unique and safe circle process promotes the development of personal skills and cultivates the total wellness of women,” states the initiative’s mission, on its website. “The ultimate goal is wholeness and transformation to effect systemic change within local and world communities.”

Proximity and numbers in cities often make meeting, gathering, sharing for both men and women easier and more accessible.

For rural people, especially since the 1980s farm crisis, which wiped out half of the farm population across the nation, widening distances between farm houses, falling numbers and dwindling infrastructure and social networks, have left isolation and sometimes despair.

The rural women’s initiative strives to give voice to personal needs, raise self-esteem and confidence, and provide a circle of connections to bridge this isolation.

The next local Rural Women’s Initiative will be held Tuesday, Jan. 19, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., including a light lunch. The group will again meet in Bethlehem Lutheran Church fellowship hall in Brodhead.

In 2015, 612,377 gun deer licenses were sold through the end of the nine-day gun deer season, compared to 608,711 in 2014.

In total, 849,778 gun, archery and crossbow licenses (not including upgrades) licenses have been sold through the end of the nineday gun deer season, compared to 835,583 (not including upgrades) in 2014.

Through the end of the nine-day season, 23,870 firsttime hunters (or those who have not hunted in the last 10 years) have taken advantage of the first-time gun deer buyer license, compared to 17,644 archery hunters.

Deer license and tag sales will continue throughout the remaining hunting seasons.

DNR investigated eight hunting incidents during the nine-day gun deer season: five non-fatal (Rock, Marathon, Jackson, Polk and Manitowoc) and three fatal (Columbia, Waushara and Marathon).

The department expressed condolences to the family and friends of the victims of these incidents. However, the trend of hunting incidents continues to go down.

This is a result of safer hunters, hunter education, the volunteer instructor corps and outreach efforts covering four rules of firearm safety, blaze orange clothing, tree stand safety practices, and hunters planning their hunt and then hunting their plan.

More than 600,000 gundeer hunting licenses were sold this season, with those hunters venturing to the field to enjoy a great tradition in Wisconsin. They included non-resident, resident and mentor hunters.

Eight hunting incidents resulted in 1.31 incidents per 100,000 hunters. Wisconsin’s 10-year average is 1.36 incidents per 100,000 hunters.

Additional deer hunting opportunities continue through December. Hunters are reminded of additional opportunities to hunt deer in Wisconsin after the close of the nine-day season.

Hunters asked to participate in online Deer Hunter Wildlife Survey The Deer Hunter Wildlife Survey will remain active until all deer seasons have ended, and wildlife managers ask that hunters submit a report of what they saw during their time in the field.

This information will provide data used to improve population estimates for Wisconsin’s deer herd and other species.

For additional information, search keywords “deer hunter wildlife.”

As a reminder, those interested in providing important feedback regarding deer management are encouraged to participate in County Deer Advisory Councils.

These councils use a number of resources, including deer population data, harvest data, public input and other information to provide recommendations regarding deer management in their county.

Additional information regarding CDAC recommendations, agendas and membership can be found at keyword “CDAC.” Additional questions can be sent to DNRCDACWebMail@Wisconsin. gov.

Those hunters who harvested first deer this season are also reminded to fill out a first deer certificate and commemorate a successful hunt.

A printable certificate will be sent to the email address provided.

Albany pays tribute to longtime volunteers Albertson

By Beth Blakemoore Correspondent

ALBANY — Village residents celebrated the 6th annual Sugar River Enchanted Christmas on Saturday, Dec. 5.

People began the event at 4 p.m. by gathering in Overlook Park in downtown Albany to sing Christmas carols.

Music began with “Deck the Halls” and finished with “Oh Christmas Tree.” Two Chanukah tunes were sung in addition to 15 traditional carols.

Terry Blumer, Pastor Ray

Jewel, Julie Flood, Laurel Hefty and Marcus Flood led the singing.

Santa arrived via police car shortly after the music. Children went to visit Santa, and people warmed up with coffee, hot chocolate and cookies.

As dark approached, Albany Area Chamber of Commerce President Joyce Chrisbaum paid tribute to Virginia King and Gary Armitage for many years of volunteer service.

“Virginia King was born in Albany Township,” Chrisbaum stated in a written

tribute. “She attended Norwegian Settlement Church School and graduated in1940 from Albany High School.

“Both as a youngster and as an adult, Virginia worked on her family farm. She also worked at Swiss colony, Apco and Ogden,” she said.

“For years Virginia has made and served Sunday breakfasts at Albany’s American Legion and likewise, as a member of the Albany Lutheran Church has prepared and served countless Albany Lions Club dinners.

She has also made and dis-

“When the word “doughnut” is mentioned in Albany, everyone immediately thinks of Virginia’s signature doughnuts, and her fame has spread beyond Albany as she has donated them to school cross country events and Reuben’s Run.” “Gary Armitage was born in Monroe,” Chrisbaum continued. “He attended Albany schools and, like Virginia, is a graduate of Albany High School. Gary worked forty years in Evansville a Varco Pruden, which is now BlueScope Buildings.

“He has volunteered in Albany, both with the village on its baseball diamonds and Hilltop Church with its building and grounds. However, it is for his 35 years of coaching that Gary is best known in Albany.

“He returned to Albany High School to coach its girls’ basketball team, and as a volunteer he has coached many Little League teams.”

Gary and Virginia then lit the village Christmas tree, and the Village of Albany, though succumbing to shortened winter days, was brightened with Christmas spirit.

In reality, the Salvation Army and the people they serve in our community are the true winners. So, keep in mind, this is the only time that it is legal to stuff the ballot box!

The current list of participants includes: Agnes Oh!, Benedicts La Strata, Crystal Lake Bank & Trust, Crystal Lake Natural Health Care, Evolve, Giorgio’s Pizzeria & Pub, Kitchen Outfitters, Le Petit Marche, Marvin’s Toy Store, Out of the Box, Penny & Izzy’s, and Yours & Meyn.

If you are inspired to bake your own gingerbread creation, you can join the 13th Annual Gingerbread Contest and register at Kaleidoscoops, 53 N. Williams Street, Crystal Lake.

The public will be able to vote for your entry – but this time there is only one vote allowed per person.

Here are the recommended recipes:

Gingerbread Recipe 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup molasses 3-1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. ginger 1/4 tsp. cloves 1/3 cup water Cream butter and sugar thoroughly with electric mixer.

Beat in the molasses. After blending all the dry ingredients, add alternately with the water to the butter-sugar mixture. The dough might become too stiff, so the last flour addition may need to be blended by hand. At this point the dough may be refrigerated for up to one week.

Make sure you take it out 3 hours ahead of baking to become workable. 2-3 batches will be needed for each house.

To bake gingerbread, place about 1/3 of the dough on a

A dampened towel under the cookie sheet will prevent it from slipping while rolling. Trace pattern onto dough. Remove extra dough and bake in 375o oven for 8-10 minutes. Make sure the dough is baked all the way through. After baking, let the gingerbread cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes.

While warm, place the pattern back on top and trim around the edges. After 10 minutes, remove to cooling rack and cool completely. It is best to bake the house 48 hours before building.

Parkview wrestlers excel at Black Hawk

By Becky Malkow Correspondent

SOUTH WAYNE — Parkview wrestling squad placed third out of 16 schools competing Saturday, Dec. 5 in the Black Hawk Invitational.

Parkview finished the day with four overall champions: Jackson Hauri, Conner Nolan, Collin Hatlevig, and Patrick Engen.

For Engen, this was his third straight championship at Black Hawk. He was also named the Most Valuable Player for weight classes above 145 pounds.

Coach Tyler Clark was excited with his teams’ great kickoff to the competitive wrestling season.

Besides the four champs, Colt Peterson, Sam Gorton, Aaron Hatlevig, Byron Brown, Gavon Brown, and Nicholas Shepard all finished the day in the top seven of their weight classes.

With a bye week in their conference dual schedule, Clark thought they looked hungry when they hit the mats, which was for the first time this season.

Jackson Hauri made the most of his high school debut by finishing in the top spot over a tough 113-pound field. Jackson earned a third-period fall over Hunter Bredeson of Black Hawk/Darlington before controlling a talented Mount Horeb senior, Dalton Frakes, in a 3-0 semi-finals’ decision.

The finals pitted Hauri against Belmont/Platteville’s returning state qualifier, Isaac Wiegel, whom he outlasted in a 4-0 sudden-death overtime victory for the 113-pound title.

Sophomore Conner Nolan matched Hauri’s success to make it back-to-back titles for the Vikings with his win at 120-pounds. Conner fought to a 9-1 major decision over Mount Horeb’s Cameron Eyre, then pinned Max Gerner of Sugar River to set up a finals match against Westfield Area’s Daniel Nelson, whom he out-scrambled for a 4-2 win by decision and 120-pound championship.

Senior Collin Hatlevig fell just one match short of the state tournament last season and begins this season looking not to be denied again. Collin had a bye into the semi-finals, where he

Patrick Engen was crowned champion for the 3rd consecutive year at the annual Black Hawk Invitational. Engen, pictured here with his dad Wayne, was also named Most Valuable Player for weight classes above 145 lbs.

dispatched Westfield Area’s Thomas Heintz by a first-period pin, before making it three in a row for the Vikings. He coasted to a 10-4 victory in the finals against Beloit Turner’s Ste’fan Golden for the 126-pound title.

Colt Peterson and Sam Gorton made their returns to the mat after a year away from the team.

Although they are both 126pound wrestlers, they wrestled up to the 132 and 138-pound weight classes, respectively, to help field the best possible team.

Both fared well given the circumstances, with each scoring three falls en route to seventhplace finishes.

Aaron Hatlevig started the day off with a pin before losing in a heartbreaker to miss the finals. He was commanding in his semi-final match against returning tournament champion, Austin Stram of Mount Horeb, before falling ill and eventually dropping the 8-7 decision.

Aaron battled back to come away with a fourth-place medal.

Brothers, Byron and Gavon Brown, also made their returns after each suffered season-ending injuries a year ago.

Still shaking off some obvious mat-rust and working down to their true competition weights, they were able to earn a sixthplace finish and two pins at 152, and seventh-place finish and a pin at 160-pounds, respectively.

Senior Patrick Engen set the

tone for his final season as a Parkview wrestler, winning his third straight Black Hawk Invitational championship. He ran through his first two opponents, winning each match by fall.

That set up the marquee match-up of the tournament against returning state runner-up, Stetson Clary of Weston/Ithaca.

Engen outpaced him to secure a late third-period reversal and two-point near-fall for the 11-8 victory and 170- pound gold.

Patrick was also honored with the tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler Award for his performance.

After not fielding any wrestlers at the next three weights, senior Nick Shepherd rounded-out the Parkview line-up at heavyweight.

Following a shortened junior season, Nick comes back showing great promise with his improved skill and athleticism.

That earned him a sixth-place finish and a win by fall at heavyweight.

Parkview wrestlers are back in action tomorrow night on the road against Beloit Turner in a Rock Valley South Conference dual meet.

Beloit Turner won the team title at Saturday’s Black Hawk Invitational with three individual champions. There were only two matches between Parkview and Turner wrestlers, with each team winning one.

As a result, the first pick up will be on Saturday, January 2nd and will be trash only. The next pick up date will be Friday, January 8th which will be both trash and recycling.

Residents will now have the benefit of free bulk pick up once a month. This will always be the first Friday of the month. Due to the New Year’s Holiday, the first bulk pick up will be on Saturday, January 2nd. You do not have to call ahead to schedule the pick up as there is no charge.

The last pick up with Advanced Disposal will be Tuesday, December 29, 2015. Please leave your totes at the curb after that final pick up day. Advanced Disposal will be around that week to pick up their totes.

John’s Disposal will be bringing you new totes. They expect to do that the last week of December.

They will attach a bag to your totes that gives you their information. A new calendar will also be included with the information.

Flyers are available at the Village Hall and Library if you would like

more information.

WIAA board supports conference realignment bids in first review STEVENS POINT — Conference realignment was the focus of action items voted on by the Board of Control for the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association at its December meeting last Friday.

First consideration of two conference realignment bids were approved, and another plan was modified to receive first consideration at the board meeting on Jan. 27, 2016.

The modified conference realignment plan involves 44 schools, 5 current conferences in the Milwaukee metro area and the Badger Conference that was introduced at the Greenfield Area Meeting in Septem-

ber.

The realignment plans getting support in its first consideration impacts Rock Valley and Trailways conferences.

The proposed plan would go into effect for football only in fall 2016 and for all sports beginning in fall 2017. Palmyra-Eagle and Parkview would transition from the Rock Valley to Trailways, reducing the Rock Valley to 10 teams and increasing Trailways to 24 teams.

The second plan receiving initial approval would move Riverdale from the Southwest Wisconsin Athletic League to the Ridge & Valley Conference

for football only beginning in 2016.

Membership rules required a 40-day window for schools involved in realignment plans to appeal first consideration of the board before it takes final action.

Thus, schools have until Jan. 13, 2016, to file an appeal of the initial vote. The board will give final consideration of the two plans on Jan. 27, 2016.

In other action, the board granted a waiver in girls’ soccer for the 2016 season to permit a scrimmage after three practices to alleviate concerns with scheduling around spring holidays. The board also voted

to work with an outside group will sponsor 24 championship to develop a membership sur- tournament series in 2015-16. vey in an attempt to measure the membership’s attitudes and perceptions related to seasonal placement and competition.

Parkview Elementary School completed

By Kathy Heider For Parkview School District

ORFORDVILLE — Recently completed updates to the former Junior-Senior High to transform it to the Parkview Elementary School involved many updates and changes to the building.

The whole building was air conditioned and received a new heating system. A new secure entrance was added to the building.

In the high school portion of the building the elementary offices were renovated and new district offices were added. The cafeteria was renovated to make it larger and more comfortable.

All of the classrooms received new paint and technology updates. Two walls were also removed to make larger classrooms. Band and choir rooms also received

renovations.

Two new playgrounds were added to the building on the north and west sides of the building. Rest rooms were completely renovated and are totally handicap accessible.

The portion of the building now houses Early childhood through third grade.

The biggest change in this portion of the building was the addition of the LMC (Learning Materials Center).

An LMC is what was called a library in the past. Another name that people might have heard is IMC (Instructional Materials Center). The new LMC has a large area containing books, comfortable work areas and a computer lab.

In what was the “Junior High” at the east end of the building, the building was gutted and rebuilt from the ground up. The former LMC was transformed into two

computer labs. All classrooms received large new windows in place of the narrow ones that were originally in the building.

There are eight large new class rooms and a special education classroom. The far east end of the building houses one classroom and the art room that were in place. There is also a room for Parkview after school day care. This portion of the building is for fourth, fifth and sixth grade.

The referendum that the district passed was for $17 million dollars, with $13 million being allocated for the Junior-Senior High and $4 Courtesy Photo million allocated for the eleParkview students are enjoying two new playgrounds as part mentary school. of improvements to the Elementary School.

Health and safety ordinance interest spreading in Green County

By Tony Ends Editor

BRODHEAD — Passage of health and safety ordinances in the Town of Sylvester in recent months has stirred interest of other eastern Green County townships.

Rural residents numbering more than 100 in a group called Green County Defending our Farmland sought the measures to protect public health, especially drinking water but also air quality, from effects of liquid manure applications.

Decatur Township supervisors adjacent the City of Brodhead have an attorney from Janesville drafting ordinances very similar to those

Sylvester adopted, with a vote possible next week, M o n d a y, Dec. 14.

F o u r o t h e r townships JACOB MARTY have either asked to review copies of Sylvester’s ordinances or have heard presentations on the measures in their own town halls this fall.

Town supervisors in nearly half of Green County’s 16 townships may now be studying these ordinances. Mount Pleasant is one of those townships.

Avon 4-H Club invites new members

AVON — Members of Avon 4-H Club invite young people to join the club’s activities and meetings.

If you would like to join, the next meeting is this Saturday Dec. 12, at 9:30 a.m., according to club spokesman Izzy Zimmerman. The club meets the second Saturday of each month in the Avon Town Hall at the corner of Newark and Beloit roads.

The club will have a short

meeting that day. We plan to go Christmas caroling after the meeting, Zimmerman said. Other activities upcoming for Avon 4-H, include roller-skating after lunch at Pizza Hut around April.

Club members also exhibit and take part in Rock County Fair each summer. Club members also engage in such activities as Valentine’s Day card preparation. New members and visitors to club meetings are welcome.

“As a resident of Mount Pleasant Township,” said Jacob Marty, who has become active in Green County Defending our Farmland. “I have presented three ordinances to the Town Board of Supervisors and the Planning Committee.

“They are the same three ordinances covering aerial application of manure through a center-pivot system, transporting manure through pipelines and ditches, and siting standards of Large Scale Livestock Facilities that have been passed in Sylvester,” Marty said.

“They are the same ordinances that have been presented in more or less the same form to Decatur and other Green County townships. I am only intimately involved with the process in Mount Pleasant where the three ordinances are still being considered, and will hopefully be voted on in December.”

Marty has begun working in the past year with his father Jim to “regenerate” a farm in their family for six generations. They are converting their previously row-crop

protect the living conditions of their communities, while others are apprehensive about more rules and regulations that might discourage growth and development.

“The elected officials in our rural townships have done a good job of listening to both sides, and they are trying to figure out how to proceed in the near future,” he said, adding that he hopes divisions over the CAFO issue do not undermine something he believes important about rural people.

“An established sentiment of the farming community is “providing for others,” Marty said. “This knows no boundswhether producing dairy and meat or veggies and produce, big or small- all farmers can agree upon working towards providing a better life for others.

“Farmers need to unite under this mission, and consider a mission of clean and healthy air, water, and land is something we also all agree on. We can’t fulfill the former mission without the latter.”

Jim was united in marriage to Marjorie E. Russell on Feb. 6, 1967. She preceded him in death on June 23, 1994.

He was a Vietnam veteran of the Army, serving 8 ½ years in Korea, South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.

Jim and Marjorie were foster parents to five children.

Survivors include three brothers, Carl Webb of Boise, Idaho, Rondal Webb of West

Plains, Mo., Farris (Purn) Webb of Paducah, Ky.; one sister, Barbara Hurt of Belfield, N.D.; several nieces, nephews, and other relatives.

In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by two older brothers, Doral Webb and Carson Webb.

In accordance with Jim’s wishes, no service will be held.

Interment of his cremains will be held in the St. Barnabas Catholic Cemetery, Mazomanie, Wis. Online condolences may be made at hooversonfuneralhomes.com

farming acreage near Monticello to a variety of alternative agricultural uses. The Marty’s hosted a pasture walk, for instance, this past September on 50 acres of land converted to managed grazing. Co-hosted with Wisconsin Farmers Union and the NRCS, that pasture walk drew more than 100 people.

Marty knows some of the people who attended the educational event at his farm were looking to ecological farming practices such as his as an alternative to Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.

There are just four CAFO operations in Green County, the largest of which milks more than 2,000 cows. A proposal this past summer, however, seeks to build a 5,000 dairy cow CAFO in Sylvester Township west of Brodhead.

That proposal gave rise to the grassroots Green County Defending our Farmland group.

“Many residents, from a wide range of backgrounds, have expressed concern over this new development,” Marty said. “Some call for quick and decisive action to
