Fury falls twice, earns second seed

Fury earns sectional second seed The WIAA has set regional/sectional seedings for girls high school hockey! The Rock County Fury earns second seed and will first take on seventh seed Badger Lightning in Regional Finals on Thursday, Feb. 14, at 7 p.m. in Beloit. Future sectional games will be posted to WIAA girls hockey website: http://halftime. wiaawi.org/CustomApps/Tournaments/Brackets/HTML/2019_Hockey_Girls_Div1_Sec3_4.html Fury falls to Arrowhead On another snowy evening the Fury traveled to Hartland to take on the Arrowhead Warhawks on Feb. 5.

The first period ended in a 0-0 tie.

The second period proved to be the most active of the evening with three penalties to Fury’s one in that period alone. The Warhawks pulled to a 2-0 lead halfway through the second.

With less than three minutes of the period remaining, the Fury went to work on a power play. Cammi Ganshert fired a shot from the blueline.

Alyssa Knauf was there for the pass to her sister Haley who passed the puck to Anika Einbeck for the Fury goal to cut the Warhawks lead in half.

Unfortunately, the Fury couldn’t get another one past their goalie and the game ended in a 2-1 loss. The Fury outshot the Warhawks 31-16.

The Fury look to regroup after dropping three of the last four games as they prepare for Wisconsin Prep Hockey’s game of the week on Friday, Feb. 8, at 7 p.m. in Janesville.

Monday, Feb. 11, is the much anticipated last conference game v. Cap City Cougars. The Fury currently lead the conference undefeated with 16 points and Cap City at 15.

Fury falls to Wisconsin Valley Union

By Susie Knauf REPORTER

The Fury hosted Wisconsin Valley Union (WVU) on Feb. 8. WVU took a 2-0 lead by the end of the second period. Midway through the third period the Fury cut that lead in half.

Mya Maslonka fired a rocket into the back of the net, assisted by Haley Knauf and Sara Nerad. With less than a minute to go in the game, the Fury took the opportunity to add an extra skater in exchange for their goalie.

However, WVU stole the puck and scored on the empty net. The Fury outshot WVU 30-23.

The Fury next travel to Sun Prairie on Monday, Feb. 11, for a highly anticipated tilt with the Cap City Cougars. Puck drops at 8:15 p.m.

The Fury lead the Badger Conference with 16 points and the Cougars in second place with 15. This game will determine who will claim conference champs.

Albany Geography Bee winner announced

By Penny Schelberger

SOCIAL STUDIES INSTRUCTOR

Alex Steinfeldt, a sixth grade student in Albany, won the school-level competition of the National Geographic Bee on Jan. 3. He will now have a chance to advance to the next round, for a future chance at a $50,000 college scholarship. The school-level Bee, at which students answered oral and written questions on geography, was the first round in the 31st annual National Geographic Bee. The kickoff for this year’s Bee was

in early November, with thousands of schools around the United States participating. The winners at each school in each state, including Alex, will now take a written test; up to 100 of the top scorers in each state will be eligible to compete in their state Bee March 29. Winners of that competition will participate in the national championship rounds held between May 19-22. The School District of Albany and myself are very proud of all ten contestants in this year’s Bee and we wish them continued success.

February County Board GREEN COUNTY BOARD MEMBER

Well, what an interesting few weeks of weather it has been.

Meetings have been postponed and changed due to the severe weather, making it safer for people but harder to get business done. The next couple of weeks are going to be busy with committees trying to meet after being postponed. Committee meetings are posted on the Green County website as well as the agendas, so if there is a meeting you are interested in attending, please check the county website or even call the county clerk’s office to confirm the meeting is still happening before you head out when weather conditions could be an issue.

Please note, also, that there will be no February County Board meeting.

A Zoning meeting, with updates on the Sugar River Wind Project application, discussion of a Wind Energy Systems Ordinance, and the scheduling of a public hearing for a petition of rezoning in the Town of Cadiz, is scheduled for Monday, Feb-

Juda Lady Panthers fall to Potosi-Cassville co-op

By Trent Scheidegger REPORTER

Last Monday the Juda Lady Panthers hosted the PotosiCassville coop squad for an out of conference battle. They knew they were in for a battle as PC came in with a 9-7 record on their season.

The girls found themselves down big in the first half as they struggled to put the ball in the basket. Hannah powers provided most of the offense while going four of six from the free throw line. Montanna Steinmann added two first half points of her own. That was nearly all of their offense, however, as the team combined for just seven points in the half.

Potosi-Cassville had a dominant first half as they hit four three-pointers and added a bunch more underneath the basket, combining for 42 points in the half.

The Panthers would go into halftime trailing by 35, down 42-7.

Riese Price managed to get things going offensively following the break. Riese hit a three-pointer and added three more baskets as she worked her way towards nine second half points. Steinmann hit a pair of three-pointers, and Maddie Smith went two for two from the free throw line and added on four more as she finished the half with six.

Triniti Elmer and Paige Price each added on three-pointers of their own.

Despite the offense finding their rhythm, things were already out of reach after the first half. Potosi-Cassville would take home the victory by a score of 73-36. That second half was certainly something the Panthers should look to build off, however, as they managed to put up 29 points. It is one of the Panthers best halves of basketball this season.

Steinmann led the team in scoring with 10, while Riese Price was right behind with nine, and Maddie Smith had seven.

Pastor’s corner Name-calling and our true names

By Rev. Andy Twiton

ORFORDVILLE LUTHERAN CHURCH

I remember learning not to call people names on the playground as a child.

A nickname may be okay if your friend likes it or chooses it, but you must stop if they don’t like it. I remember my parents and teachers emphasizing a respect for people’s names.

Did you learn this lesson too?

Name-calling has always been a problem, but it seems to be growing - even among adults who should know better.

The leaders in our highest offices regularly model name-calling as a form of discourse. Whether it’s the President calling a U.S. Senator “Pocahontas” or a Senator calling the Pres-

ident “Cadet Bone Spurs,” these are names that are meant to hurt and not to bless. The same is true on a more local level and within our own hearts too. When I scroll through my News Feed, for example, I see names filled with contempt for the “other side” or for “those people.” I even catch myself wanting to call people names.

We often resort to name-calling when our position or argument is logically or morally weak. A clever name may score us some points in the short term, but it always drags us downward in the long run. How can we begin to work toward the common good if we don’t speak one another’s names with care?

Name-calling is also used as a form of domination. Arden Mahlberg

and Craig Nessan write in their book The Integrity of the Body of Christ: “Conquering cultures routinely rename those they have come to dominate, instead of using the native’s own names for themselves. Cult leaders often rename their members as part of asserting their control. Bullies engage in name-calling to intimidate their victims.” This kind of name-calling often leads to dehumanization and violence.

I want to place our growing carelessness with names in opposition to the One who calls us by our true names.

In contrast to our carelessness, the God we meet in the Bible takes names seriously. In the first chapter of Genesis, God creates and names at the same time. God names day and night, sun and moon, and land and sea. Timothy

Parkview’s win streak ends at five

By Trent Scheidegger REPORTER

Last Tuesday the Vikings boys traveled to Marshall high school for an out of conference face off that featured two evenly matched teams.

Parkview found themselves in a game very similar to their last, when they beat the Brodhead Cardinals by just three.

In the first half the Vikings were able to keep things close, thanks in large to a dominant down low presence from Aydon Campbell. Campbell provided 10 first half points, all of which came from underneath the basket. Adrian Meza and Justin Balch each had eight first half points as the trio led the way offensively early on.

Marshall would just outscore their guests as they went into halftime up 31-30 over the Vikings.

The Vikings held the lead throughout most of the game, at some points going up by 10. It was back and forth however, as Marshall managed to keep fighting back.

Campbell was an absolute powerhouse in the second half as he shot seven of nine from the free throw line and totaled 23 points following the break. Eli Hoscheit also exploded offensively. After scoring just four in the first half, Hoscheit managed to go six of seven from the line and total eight second half points.

Although the duo was impressive they were unable to pull away from Marshall. Late in the half the Marshall defense began to apply the

pressure with a half-court trap which helped keep them in the game. Much like the last Brodhead game, Marshall got the ball back with just under five seconds left, down by three. Only this time Marshall managed to hit their open corner three and force over time.

The teams would go back and forth as they eventually found themselves in double overtime. Marshall managed to get out to a one point lead with just six seconds left, forcing Parkview

Fury vs. WVU

Radcliffe puts it this way: “Everything exists because God called it into being by name.”

Often in the Bible a person will be given a new name after a transformative experience. For example, Jacob is renamed Israel after wresting with God on the shores of the Jabbok (Genesis 32:22-32). Or Saul is renamed Paul after encountering the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). After these experiences, it’s as if these people are so different that they need a new name to tell the truth of their reality. Just as God called the world into being by name so to these people were renamed when they were recreated by God. In contrast to the false names we make up for each other, God calls us by our true names. In the time of the exile, God spoke through the prophet Isaiah, saying: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name. You are mine” (Isaiah 43:1).

to foul. The Cardinals managed to hit one of two free throws, putting them up by two. The Vikings were unable to get a decent shot off, however, as they eventually fell by a score of 88-86.

Campbell would finish the evening with 35 while Meza and Hoscheit each totaled 17. Balch added on 12 of his own.

The loss put an end to the Vikings five-game win streak, as they now sit at 10-5 on the season.

After the resurrection, Mary Magdalene does not recognize Jesus until he speaks her name (John 20:11-18).

When a person is baptized, we don’t use a generic label like “man” or “woman” or “child.” Instead, we use the specific name of the individual, because we believe God continues to call us by our true names.

When our true names are spoken in love, we flourish. Timothy Radcliffe writes, “Our names are called with love or with contempt. In all the loving ways in which we are addressed – by our parents, our friends, our spouses – there is an echo of God’s address to us.”

Name-calling is not only disrespectful and rationally dubious. It is also sinful. It is in opposition to the God who calls us by our true names. We have a choice whether to name one another with contempt or with love. May we choose to echo the God who loves us! v

DATCP opens Buy Local grant application period Farmers and businesses involved in Wisconsin’s food industry who are seeking to grow their local markets are encouraged to apply for 2019 Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin producer and processor grants.

Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), the grants can help farms and business more efficiently produce, process, market and distribute food in local markets includ-

ing stores, schools and institutions.

“These grants fund innovative ideas that help producers and other local food businesses become more successful at selling their local products around Wisconsin,” said BLBW program manager Kietra Olson. “We encourage growers and processors with projects that help expand Wisconsin’s food system to apply for the grants.

Projects must clearly demonstrate a need, show creativity, and help grow

the food industry.”

Proposals must be received by DATCP by noon, March 20, 2019.

Each proposal must include a cover page, a completed budget template and project description. Necessary documents are available online at https:// datcp.wi.gov/Pages/BuyLocalBuyWisconsinGrants.aspx. Grants will be awarded following a competitive review process. The target date for grant award notification is April 2019.

A total of $170,000 is available in grant funding; the maximum award for each project is $50,000. Grant applicants must provide a cash or in-kind match of at least 50 percent of the total project budget. Grants may not be used to fund feasibility projects or startups.

Qualified applicants include individuals, groups or businesses involved in Wisconsin production agriculture, food processing, food distribution, food warehousing, retail food estab-

lishments or agricultural tourism operations. Proposals could include collaborations or partnerships.

Since its inception in 2008, the program has funded 58 projects, totaling more than $1.6 million. Previous grant recipients have generated nearly $10 million in new local food sales, created and retained 211 jobs, and benefitted more than 2,700 producers and 2,900 markets.

Anyone with questions about the application process can contact BLBW program manager Kietra Olson at 608224-5112 or Kietra.Olson@Wisconsin.gov.

(Above left) Jeff is a nine month old Siberian husky/shepherd mix who loves pretty much anyone he comes in contact with. Goofy, full of energy, and great with kids, Jeff is anxiously awaiting his forever home. He is what we would consider special needs due to having hip dysplasia. There is a 50/50 chance he may need surgery as he gets older or he could be just fine. His fee is half price this week; come meet him and see for yourself why absolutely nothing gets this good boy down! Check out www.greencountyhumane.org for new arrivals of cats and dogs, adoption fees, and upcoming events. (Above right) Beautiful Lizbeth is 3 years old and desperately wants a forever family. This sweet girl came to us a year ago, when she was found as a stray on a cold night. Her quiet demeanor means that she gets overlooked, but she is aching for a family to take her home. She would be a perfect cat to enjoy a quiet perch and a comfy lap.

Are you pregnant or planning to become pregnant? Would you like more information about pregnancy?

The Care Net Pregnancy Center of Green County would like to invite expectant mothers, couples, and anyone planning a pregnancy to two free prenatal classes in February. Both classes will be held in the second floor meeting room of the Monroe Public Library located at 925 16th Ave, Monroe, WI. The first class, scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 12, from 6 to 7 p.m., will review the first trimester of the pregnancy and answer questions about pregnancy symptoms, diet, and fetal development.

The second class will cover medical care and present additional information on nutrition and fetal development. This class will be held Tuesday, Feb. 26, from 6 to 7 p.m.

Both classes are open to the public.

Care Net clients who attend these classes will earn points to be used at our Family Support Services Office.

To ensure enough handouts, please RSVP to 608-325-5051 or clientservices@carenetgreencounty.org.
