Candidates in only contested board race share views

By Tony Ends Editor

TOWN OF ALBANY — In a county of more than 36,000 people, Erica Roth has stepped forward into a class all by herself in the April 5 election.

In the regular, upcoming 2-year election of 31 county

board members, Roth is the only Green County citizen opposing a sitting supervisor.

“I was never very involved before in politics,” said Roth, who graduated in 1997 from Alverno College in Milwaukee, where she studied biology and chemistry. “I didn’t see myself as a candidate.”

Back in December, however, a non-partisan group called the Green County Roundtable approached Roth about running for office.

Citizen members of the roundtable meet to discuss issues affecting the county.

The group is trying to motivate people to address issues

it gives a high priority.

“After they contacted me, I thought hard about it,” Roth said. “I realized I do have the interest and motivation, the care and concern vested in the future of this county.

“We’ve got a lot of tough decisions coming up; we need someone who understands what’s involved, what’s at stake. I want to be someone who doesn’t divide the people. I want people to have a voice in a larger conversation – together. “ Roth agreed to run for office and signed up to attend two candidate trainings with groups called “We are Wisconsin” and “Wisconsin Progress.” She attended the trainings several weeks ago in Mineral Point.

In the proper timeframe, she also got up a petition to get her name on the ballot to run for supervisor representing Green County District 24.

The district represents all of Albany township and a portion of Brooklyn.

“I needed a minimum of 20 names; I got 30 names,” Roth said, grateful to find county election staff cordial and professional. No one tried to discourage her from doing what was necessary to run for office.

County Clerk Mike Doyle, however, can’t recall very many times two people have sought the same seat for coun-

ty board of supervisors in the past 28 years. Sometimes, no one has sought the job.

“It’s a lot of work,” Doyle said. “It’s not an easy job.

There are the monthly county board meetings, and the supervisors serve on committees, so there are those meetings, too.

“I commend the supervisors for being responsible enough as citizens to serve on the board. There have been times when we had no one run for a district. I think there was even a time when someone wrote in the name of a person on the ballot, and he became the supervisor with one vote,” Doyle said.

“We had two supervisors who did not seek re-election this year – District 7 in the City of Monroe and District 11, Clarno Township. I had to find candidates in those districts willing to put their names on the ballot.”

Gordon Klostner, Roth’s opponent in voting April 5, has served 6 years as a supervisor for District 24.

“When I started, there was no one on the ballot for our district,” Klostner said.

“There were several whose names were written in, and my name was one of them.

The others did not want to serve. I did have the desire. I was willing to do it.”

County pays its employees and workers too much, given the state of the economy and stagnant inflation. He said he was the only supervisor to oppose the 1 percent pay increase in this past budget.

He said he did so because the pay hike followed 12 percent prior increases in pay during h his 6 years on the board.

Klostner spent a career with the Air Force in meteorology, retiring after 21 years. He then trained with Farm and Fleet to become a store manager and assisted in their Waukesha store. He retired again to return to Green County.

“I’ve enjoyed serving on the county board,” he said.

“To accomplish anything is very difficult with 31 people on the board, though.

“I think the number of supervisors should be cut in half. Their excuse is that there would be lots more committees to serve on, but I think they could cut the number of supervisors serving on those committees, too.”

Presently, each county district is comprised of about 1,100 people. Basing county board districts on the number of townships (16), with a few additional supervisors for the higher populated cities, would provide an alternative to whittle down the total number, Klostner said.

Klostner also believes Green

Albany School District seeks new superintendent New program provides grant

By Tony Ends and Beth Blakemore For the Independent Register

ALBANY — School Superintendent Steve Guenther told the board he was resigning in January.

Guenther, who administers the district, directs its special education and manages its business affairs, has been with the district 10 years.

“He said he felt it was time to move on,” said board President Wayne Mueller in an interview last Friday. “He wanted to give us enough time to find a replacement. His resignation is effective July 1.”

As Albany School District undertakes to replace Guenther, it faces a number of serious challenges.

State aid to the district has declined over 3 years more than $1.1 million, largely because a 20-year-old formula awards funds on a per pupil basis. Albany’s population has fallen 4.4 percent in the past decade. The district has also lost students to open enrollment in surrounding school districts.

Funding from a 2012 referendum is coming to a close.

Facing a possible $1 million shortfall in the new school year,

board members are putting another referendum before voters April 5.

“We’re focused on the referendum,” said Mueller, 8 years on the school board, but still in his first year as board president.

“We had a meeting last week with a good turnout; we heard a lot of positive comments. We’re trying to get the word out and communicate the need.”

Board members have scheduled three more informational public meetings on the referendum: Thursday, Feb. 25, at 6 p.m. in Albertson Memorial Library; Saturday, March 12 at 9:30 a.m. in the school cafeteria; and Thursday, March 31, at 6 p.m. again in the school cafeteria.

Since early last November, Albany School District has also faced a civil suit alleging violation of a student’s rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. An attorney from Madison is defending the district against the civil suit.

Another Madison attorney representing the student, who has been diagnosed with autism, and the student’s mother, allege school staff did not respond over more than a year to their complaints of bullying.

It’s official: Open house, tour fete new bus terminal

Guenther has declined in the past to speak to specifics of the lawsuit, but he has stated that the district always takes student and parent complaints seriously, always follows up. He listed a number of district programs intended to promote positive behavior in the schools and ensure a safe learning environment.

The student’s mother in the suit removed her son from Albany School District last year and enrolled him in the Brodhead district.

In their search for a new superintendent, board members hope to be interviewing candidates as early as next month, they said in a meeting Feb. 8.

Connie Gregorson, K-12 principal, reported other news at the school board meeting: • The school had “a showcase for Latin America during the day;” • Two new student teachers are from UW-Whitewater; • Between forty and fifty people were at the Feb. 3 referendum meeting; and • The board decided that the date of graduation for seniors in 2017 should be Sunday, May 28, the day before Memorial Day.

opportunity to Wisconsin farmers MADISON — Groups of Wisconsin farmers can apply for the first round of Producer-Led Watershed Protection grants in a new program, according to a state news release.

The program addresses soil and water issues with homegrown answers.

Applications will be accepted Feb. 29 through April 1.

The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) will award the grants to producer-led groups.

Projects must focus on ways to prevent and reduce runoff from farm fields and work to increase farmer participation in these voluntary efforts.

Each group is eligible for up to $20,000 a year, with a total of $250,000 available in each of the next two years.

“The Governor included this initiative in the 2015-17 budget to support farmers in their conservation efforts,” said Ben Brancel, Secretary of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. “This program is designed to give financial support to farmers who are willing to take leadership roles in their watershed and to work collaboratively to address water quality issues.”

Applicants must be groups of at least five farmers whose farms are in the same watershed. Each farm must have produced at least $6,000 in gross farm revenue last year, or $18,000 in the past three years.

The farmers must work with DATCP, the Department of Natural Resources, a county land conservation committee, the University of Wisconsin-Extension, or a nonprofit conservation organization. The group must help other producers in the watershed voluntarily work to reduce runoff pollution from farm fields.

The group must also contribute matching funds at least equal to the grant request.

A few examples of possible projects include: -startup work such as watershed planning and bringing in experts to speak about soil and water quality issues; -incentive payments to farmers to do soil testing and nutrient management plan-

ning, plant cover crops, install grassed waterways, and other conservation activities; -developing new approaches to manure storage; -hosting conferences, workshops or field days.

Grant funds cannot pay for more than 25 percent of staff time or for real estate, loans, equipment purchases, or lobbying.

Application materials are available at http://tinyurl.com/ jdgyqk6, or by going to datcp. wi.gov and searching for producer led. Materials must be submitted by email. Farmers with questions should contact Rachel Rushmann, 608-224-4622, rachel.rushmann@wi.gov.

Hometown Drug Scripts SOME BENEFITS OF BEETS

Beets contain nitrate, which converts to nitric oxide, which helps dilate blood vessels and improves blood pressure. A new study found that beet juice improved blood flow to the brain in elderly people, as seen on MRIs. Beet juice also helps reduce muscle fatigue and enhances tolerance to highintensity exercise. Cyclists who drank beet juice were able to ride up to 20% longer. Beets’ ability to improve blood flow may explain why ancient Romans considered beets and aphrodisiac. Beets also have boron, which is related to the production of sex hormones. Note: Consuming beets may cause urine and stool to have a pink or red color.

Pastor’s Corner Peace in Our Communities

Ten years ago, I stood next to a thirty-foot-high wall in Belfast, Northern Ireland that separated a Catholic community from a Protestant one.

These walls were put up during the period called the Troubles, the thirty-year conflict between Protestants and Catholics that claimed more than 3,500 lives.

Even as violence has declined in Northern Ireland since the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, distrust among these communities persists. The

dividing walls remain standing.

Ephesians 2:14 says, “For Jesus is our peace; in his flesh, he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us” (NRSV).

I can’t help but think of that dividing wall in Belfast when I read this verse of Holy Scripture. Ephesians speaks of a specific divide in the early church between Jews and Gentiles.

I believe it speaks also more generally of Christ’s work among us. I believe the Prince of Peace continues to break down walls of division.

For the past two weeks, I have written about finding peace in our hearts and in our relationships. This week I invite you to reflect and pray with me on finding peace in our communities. Our communities may not have experienced the same kind of violence as Belfast, but we also experience lines of division and segregation among us. I wonder if you also yearn for peace with your neighbors.

One of the most familiar teachings of Jesus is the Golden Rule: “In everything, do to others as you would have them

do to you” (Matthew 7:12). It seems to me that one of the reasons walls get built is that we cease listening to and empathizing with each other. When we stop listening and caring, we might cut ourselves off from each other or get stuck in a cycle of revenge. The Golden Rule, however, calls us into empathizing with the other person. You have to imagine yourself in the other person’s shoes as the recipient of your words and actions.

Likewise, Jesus commands us, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew

22:39).

In order to obey this command, you have to imagine what life is like for your neighbor. Perhaps we have to imagine what REV. ANDY life is like on TWITON the other side Orfordville Lutheran of the dividChurch ing wall.

In this country, many of our communities are segregated by wealth, race, religion, age, and other differences. Sharing peace among us will not necessarily mean that we will always agree or that we all have to be the same. In fact, a lot of good can come out of healthy conflict where individuals work out differences with mutual love and respect. But love and peace requires that we listen to one another’s stories and imagine ourselves from a different perspective. We will have to humble ourselves enough to listen and trust that the other person knows his or her experience better than we do.

In Northern Ireland, there are plans to take down their physical dividing walls by the year 2023. Perhaps in our communities, we can work to stay open enough to our neighbors that walls are not built in the first place.

What can we do to strengthen the social bonds between us so that we can differ respectfully and still stay connected? We can pray for those with whom we differ. We can listen to one another’s stories and speak the truth in love. We can love our neighbor. We can seek to follow the teachings of the Prince of Peace. May the peace of Christ be with you always.

They are trained as engineers.”

For an exchange student only here since August, Katya’s English is amazing.

In her vast country, a breadbasket of grain production as well as an industrial center of production between Europe and Russia, everyone studies English.

“I’ve had 9 years of English; we have 11 years of schooling,” she said. “I started really getting into it in about the fifth grade. I love English. I also started learning German in the 8th grade.

“My American high school experience has been fun. We don’t have sports, or clubs, or extra curricular activities.

You get to chose classes; I’m taking social studies, pre-calculus, creative writing, foods, art.

“In the Ukraine, there is more pressure to learn in their educational system. Teachers are a lot harsher. There are no stickers on papers encouraging students to do better.

as her homeland, but her native city of more than 750,000 people – Zaporizhzhya, will require quite a change of pace.

Situated on the banks of the Dnieper River near the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, it is Ukraine’s sixth largest city.

It is worrisomely close to the conflict with a Russian separatist conflict that has taken almost more lives in 2 years, 2,269 Ukrainian soldiers killed, than America has lost in 14 years of conflict in Afghanistan.

Katya hopes to pursue political science or international studies. She has little tolerance for poor attitudes toward education, even as hard as schooling is in her homeland.

“If a student applies herself at home, she has so much homework, a minimum of 3 hours a night; there’s no time for a part-time job or distractions,” she said.

“Is everyone in America so small!” Katya remembers aloud, of her arrival at their farm northwest of Orfordville.

The Saevres have hosted Parkview School exchange students from Japan twice, Hong Kong, Italy and Austria.

Jodi also volunteers with the American Field Service Intercultural Exchange program as a liaison, assigned to check in monthly with an exchange student in Janesville and her host family and report on how they’re doing.

AFS, which facilitated Katya’s study at Parkview, is mostly volunteer staff.

Katya returns to the Ukraine in June, but she hopes to play softball and try forensics before then. She’s also been in volleyball and basketball. A circle of students at Parkview has welcomed her, and she’ll surely miss her friends.

Alice in Dairyland leads a lesson on Wisconsin’s nutritional foods.

Alice in Dairyland visits PES fourth graders ORFORDVILLE — Wisconsin’s Alice in Dairyland, Teyanna Loether, visited the fourth grade classes at Parkview Elementary School on Friday, February 12. Alice in Dairyland is a public relations professional who represents Wisconsin Agriculture. Loether is the 68th Alice in Dairyland.

Alice in Dairyland travels about 40,000 miles a year.

She does presentations in classrooms, gives speeches, appears on TV and radio, writes newspaper articles,

and makes many other public appearances.

In the classrooms, she teaches students about Wisconsin agricultural products and nutrition. Some of the facts she shared with the students about agriculture in Wisconsin are: • 43.4 billion dollars is contributed to the Wisconsin Economy every year by dairy farms; • There are 1.28 million cows in Wisconsin, which is more than there are students in the schools in Wisconsin;

• Americans eat almost ninety acres of pizza a day; • Wisconsin produces over 600 varieties, types and styles of cheese; • Ninety percent of the milk produced in Wisconsin is made into cheese; • Wisconsin is number one in the U.S. in the production of cheddar cheese, green beans, carrots, and cranberries; • Colby cheese was invented in Colby, WI in 1885; and • One out of every nine jobs in Wisconsin is related to agriculture.

She led the students in a lesson called “Mapping out a Healthy Wisconsin.”

First, she talked about the food plate and the five food groups and nutrients in foods.

There were markers on the state representing different foods from all five groups grown in Wisconsin.

The students were given clues as to what the food item might be. They had to guess what it was and raise their hands if they knew.

After a student gave the correct choice, “Alice”

explained why the food was important. She explained that fish is a protein, potatoes are high in potassium, and strawberries have more vitamin C than an orange in a servingby-serving comparison.

After the presentation and question-and-answer session, each classroom received an Alice in Dairyland poster. The students received a booklet of “Mapping out a Healthy Wisconsin” with answers to the questions. The students also received a Colby string cheese snack.

“It was cool to see the characters,” Watts said, “and to see how [different] everything is from what you think in the book.”

ORFORDVILLE — Fortyone Parkview students travelled to Milwaukee to see a production of Of Mice and Men Feb. 10. The show was at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, a converted power plant in downtown Milwaukee.

Of Mice and Men, a novella by John Steinbeck, details the trying friendship between George Milton and Lennie Small, two migrant farm workers. Candace Levy, teacher at Parkview, focuses on the book in her Composition II class.

“I heard about the trip through a coworker,” Levy said. “She knew I was reading it with my class.”

Levy approached both the fall and spring semester groups of her students and gauged interest. Over forty students wished to attend the production.

After purchasing 45 tickets, Levy gathered her students for a day in Milwaukee. Before the matinee showing, the students enjoyed lunch at the Grand Avenue Mall.

“I always think that if you take students to a bigger city like Madison or Milwaukee for some sort of field trip,” Levy said, “it’s a really good experience for them to also have some time to walk around the city.”

After the showing, the students left Milwaukee with a new perspective on Steinbeck’s tale.

“It was clear that George and Lennie had a special bond,”

said junior Reagan Watts, ”but the play just brought it to life and made it easier to recognize how hard George had to work for Lennie.”

Overall, this was a valuable

Arnold Carl Erickson

TOMAH — Arnold Carl Erickson passed away from complications with kidney cancer on Feb. 7, 2016.

He was raised on a Wisconsin farm and proudly served with the Marine Corps.

He was born in Chicago, in October 1946, the oldest child of Ruth and Carl Erickson. As a toddler, he moved with his family to Door County to live near his father’s family. After a few years there, they moved to a dairy farm in Withee where he and his siblings Karen, Kathy and Tim grew up.

After graduating high school in 1964, he enlisted in the Marine Corps with four friends and took his first plane ride to San Diego, Calif., for basic training. He served proudly as a “grunt” in Vietnam from 1965 to 1966. After returning to the United States and completing his military service, he received an associate’s degree in business administration and built a career working for and managing farm supply cooperatives.

He also earned his private pilot’s license in 1975.

His first cooperative of service was in Spring Green/ Plain, where he met his wife Rita. Married for 43 years, they had three children, Deanna, Gina and Luke. They lived in Petersburg, Ill., as well as Omro, Brodhead, Thorp and finally Tomah.

Following retirement from Tomah Cooperative Services, Arnie had many adventures.

He traveled through Vietnam

in 2013 and again in 2014. He loved backpacking trips with his daughters, with friends, and solo. His backpacking adventures included five trips to Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior, Mt. Ranier and other areas of the Pacific Northwest, the mountains of Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming and an expedition to see the polar bears in Churchill, Canada.

He was an avid walker, walking six miles a day, 7 days a week. Going to movies with his son was a favorite pastime that was frequently followed by a trip to Culver’s for a raspberry sundae. He was a member of the Warrens Lions Club and served proudly as “master baster” for their chicken barbecue events. He was a volunteer wolf tracker for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and a board member for the Timberwolf Information Network (TWIN). He was also as a volunteer driver for the Veterans Administration in Tomah. He was an enthusiastic deer hunter and lifelong Green Bay Packer fan.

Arnie is survived by his wife Rita, his children Deanna Erickson, Duluth, Minn.; Gina Erickson, Seattle, Wash.; and Luke Erickson, Tomah. He is further survived by his mother,

Ruth Erickson, Tomah; sisters Karen Erwin, Aurora, Colo.; Kathy Larson, Schofield; a brother Tim Erickson, Schofield; and his aunt and uncle, June and Jim Boening, Aurora, Colo.; as well as many cousins and friends.

Arnie was a trustworthy, faithful and true person, known for his funny one-liners and his strong work ethic. He was a good friend and a protector and provider for those he loved.

A celebration of his life and a time of sharing was held February 11 at the Torkelson Funeral Home in Tomah with full military honors to follow.

Family and friends were invited for visitation held Feb. 10 and 11 at Torkelson Funeral Home in Tomah.

The Independent Register 2/17, 2/24, 3/2, 3/9/2016 WNAXLP 234005 NOTICE OF MUNICIPAL REVALUATION FROM THE VILLAGE OF ORFORDVILLE For the 2016 tax assessment year, the Village of Orfordville will undergo a full revaluation of all taxable property under Wisconsin Statutes 70.05.

Municipal revaluations are periodically required by the State of Wisconsin and typically take place about once every five years. The Village’s assessed values have been monitored annually by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, Bureau of Property Tax, and are no longer in compliance with state regulation standards.

Associated Appraisal Consultants, Inc., a private assessment firm from Appleton, WI, has been retained by the Village of Orfordville to complete the revaluation for 2016. The revaluation will establish new assessed values in an equitable fashion for all properties in the Village at 100% of market value.

The revaluation will not have any effect on the total dollar amount of taxes collected by the Village of Orfordville. However, the revaluation will re-distribute the tax burden in an equitable fashion according the current market value of each property in the Village. The revaluation will also serve to update the Village’s property records to accurately reflect current property characteristics.

To insure that an accurate revaluation is performed, it will be necessary for the appraisal staff to conduct both an interior and exterior review of all homes and commercial buildings within the village limits. A brief interior walk-through is necessary for consideration of the features, quality, and condition of a home or structure, all of which may affect the market value. Please note, the appraisers have no interest in your housekeeping or your personal belongings.

Each appraiser will carry a letter of identification from the Village Clerk, a Photo ID tag, and will be driving a red fleet vehicle clearly identified with the Associated Appraisal company logo. If no one is home when the appraiser visits your property, a door hanger will be left with instructions on how to arrange an appointment for an interior review.

When the property reviews are completed and new assessed values are determined, all property owners will receive a written notice of assessment change. You will then have an opportunity to discuss the assessed values with Associated Appraisal staff members at the Open Book session. After the Open Book session, the Board of Review will conduct hearings to evaluate evidence concerning any final challenges to the assessed values.

For revaluation questions, please call Associated Appraisal at 1-800721-4157.

Thank you for your help in creating a successful 2016 Revaluation Program.
