Veterans Memorial Park honors heroes with new helicopter

By Melody Pope Correspondent

MONROE — For the survivors of seemingly impossible situations, finding sanctuary however critical - is no easy task.

Nonetheless, Larry and Karen Ayres have accomplished just that.

“There are veterans who come here to find comfort,” Larry Ayres said of the Green County Veterans Memorial Park in Monroe.

He and his wife Karen describe the park as tranquil, hallowed grounds, meant to honor and comfort veterans.

The park has been an ongoing project since 2004, and is completely donation-funded. “[Other places] start out with $150,000 just given to them,” Karen said of their financing situation. “So they were able to do a lot right away.”

Being only funded by individual and business donations creates an additional challenge that the Ayres have met with nothing short of determination.

Currently, the Ayres and the committee members of the park are working together to gather enough funds to refurbish and mount a Huey helicopter they have purchased.

The Huey helicopter is a staCourtesy photo ple among serviceman of rescue and survival, thus having a dis- Larry and Karen Ayres admire the helicopter they hope to refurbish and display at the Green County Veterans Memorial Park. tinct emotional impact on many veterans.

On Saturday, April 2, a dinner will be held at 5 p.m. at Turner Hall to raise funds for the refurbishing and mounting of the helicopter.

TOWN OF SPRING GROVE — A state permit to stabilize more than a mile of bank and provide fish habitat along Spring Creek will get a public hearing tomorrow, Thursday, March 31.

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources staff will share information on the proposed project and take comment, starting at 5:30 p.m. in Spring Grove Town Office, N2475 County Highway GG. “The hearing is informational only,” stated Sally Jarosz, DNR Water Management Specialist, in announcing the hearing.

“Department staff will man-

age the hearing agenda according to set procedures to allow all who attend a chance to be heard and to gather as much factual information as possible,” Jarosz said.

Green County Land and Water Conservation staff member Tonya Gratz designed the project for land owner Robert Beckwith and Brad and Jeff Williams who farm his land along Spring Creek.

Williams brothers operate Williams Bedrock Bovines, a large longtime dairy in southeastern Green County.

The proposed project will split into 2 years, entailing about 2,700 feet of grading and seeding to improve the spring bank and placement of downed trees with roots sub-

merged to act as fish habitat.

Twenty-nine log deflectors will be employed for the fish habitat establishment, and mulch will help control runoff until seeding can be established.

Native prairie grasses, including Switch grass, Big Bluestem and Canada Rye, and native flowers, such as Bergamot, New England Aster and Yellow Coneflower, will hold back the soil from erosion.

Conservation staff members have employed the practice along other waterways to prevent runoff and erosion. Green County is making a concerted effort to improve surface water quality in this area southeast of Brodhead.

Lower Sugar River Water-

shed has initially welcomed the project as a positive step toward actively engaging both farmers and conservationists in water quality improvement.

Spring Creek originates near the Illinois-Wisconsin state line. The stream flows northwest for 4 miles, where it joins Honey Creek.

Each creek supports a warm water forage fishery, yet farming practices, nonpoint source pollution and hydrologic modifications have negatively impacted Spring Creek’s fish habitat.

Anyone may submit written comment on the project to JoshuaA.Brown@wisconson. gov or write him at 3911 Fish Hatchery Road, Fitchburg, WI 53711.

MONROE — Green County fair swine exhibitors will be required to self-identify their pigs using the same method that was used last year.

Exhibitors will be required to tag their own pigs and pull hair samples for DNA testing from each fair pig.

The Green County UWExtension Office will loan out ear taggers for exhibitors to use for tagging their pigs. The taggers must be returned to the UW-Extension office and will be sanitized before being given to another farm to prevent the spread of disease.

The cost of the DNA test kits will be $5 per pig. Exhibitors will also be given two RFID ear tags for each animal at no additional cost. DNA test kits and ear tags will only be available for pickup at the Green County Extension Office, 2841 6th Street in Monroe.

The DNA kits and ear tags will be available for pick up starting Friday, April 1 and must be returned to the Green County Extension by Monday, April 18. The kits cannot be mailed.

Exhibitors will be required to pay the $5 fee for each DNA testing kit when they pick them up. Agriculture instructors and 4-H Leaders will be allowed to

pick up ID kits for their members. However, they will be required to sign and pay for all the kits they pick up at the UWExtension Office.

Each kit will include an envelope for hair samples and two RFID ear tags for each pig to be identified. The DNA hair samples and registration forms must be returned to the UWExtension Office by Monday, April 18. The hair samples and completed forms should not be mailed.

When picking up their pig identification kits, exhibitors will be provided with instructions on the correct procedures for pulling the DNA hair samples and placing the RFID ear tags. The DNA hair sample envelopes will need to be signed by both the exhibitor and a parent. Only pigs that are identified using the Green County ID kits will be eligible to exhibit at the 2016 Green County fair.

All pigs, including both market gilts and market barrows need to be self-identified and must submit hair samples.

Hair samples will be pulled from the champion pigs along with several pigs at random at the fair this summer. DNA tests will then be run to ensure the pigs are the same as those

that were tagged by exhibitors this spring.

Each exhibitor can identify a maximum total of 5 pigs.

Exhibitors will be allowed to bring a maximum of four total pigs, no more than two of which can be market gilts. Pigs must weigh at least 225 pounds by the fair to exhibit and at least 235 to sell in the Green County fair livestock auction.

The 2016 Green County show will continue to be a terminal show with all pigs going directly to a terminal market after the fair to eliminate the possible spread of any diseases.

There are two major rule changes for 2016 relating to swine that will be sold through the Green County Fair Meat Animal Auction.

One rule change allows exhibitors to sell either a gilt or barrow in the 2016 auction.

The other change is that the mandatory Auction Orientation meeting has been discontinued.

This means that exhibitors will no longer need to attend a mandatory auction meeting. However, exhibitors will still need to turn in two signed buyer cards to the Green County Extension

Office by Friday, July 1 to be eligible to sell in the auction.

The cards will be available online for printing after May 1st.

Hard copies of the buyer cards will also be available at the UW-Extension Office.

All Green County swine exhibitors are required to be certified in the Meat Animal Quality Assurance Program prior to June 1, 2016, to be eligible to exhibit swine at the Green County Fair. MAQA classes will be held on Thursday, May 12 and Saturday, May 14. Exhibitors can sign up for one of the classes when they pick up their Swine Identification kits.

Swine exhibitors will also be required to complete swine health verification forms that include any medical treatments that were administered to the project animal. These forms will be distributed to exhibitors when they pick up their ID kits and must also be turned in to the Green County UW-Extension Office by Friday, July 1.

For more information, contact Mark Mayer, UW-Extension Agriculture Agent, at 608328-9440.

COPD & DIET

Healthy eating may help improve the lung function of those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In a new study of adults with COPD, researchers found that those who ate grapefruit, bananas, fish and dairy had better lung function, a quicker gait and lower levels of inflammatory markers than COPD patients who didn’t eat those foods. The study doesn’t prove cause-andeffect, only an association. The antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties of these foods may benefit COPD patients’ lungs. Other studies have shown that people whose diets are rich in fruits, vegetables, fish and grains are less likely to ever develop COPD.

High school gym receives facelift

By Stacey Torstenson Correspondent

ALBANY — New padding in the high school gymnasium was unveiled during the regional boys’ basketball game earlier this month.

According to District Athletic Director Derik Doescher and the school website, the new padding was made possible by the Class of 1978 in special memory of Bruce

Tway and Roger Pluss.

A dedication of the new project was held during the half-time portion of the game on March 1.

The old padding, Doescher said, was moved to the elementary school gym.

The Albany School District and Athletic Department are grateful to Mr. Dave Stoehr and the class of 1978 for the donated funds that made this project possible.

Parkview students think critically in Destination Imagination event LAKE GENEVA — Parkview students once again competed in the South Central Regional Destination Imagination Tournament Saturday, March 19 at Badger High School. Parkview brought eight teams to the competition.

At Destination Imagination competitions, teams choose a challenge to complete. This year, Parkview’s teams chose five of the six challenges.

Parkview teams chose the following challenges: Technical, Structural, Fine Arts, Improv, and Service Learning/ Project Outreach.

In the technical challenge, students recognize that the world is full of changes, big and small. Options include designing and building a vehicle that can carry at least one team member across the presentation site multiple times or creating a story about change in a character.

The structural category includes designing and building a structure that supports weight and is a musical instrument or telling a story involving a musical character.

In the fine arts category, participants will present a mys-

tery set on Earth before 1990 and discover on stage which of three suspect characters is responsible for the mystery.

Teams participating in improve will create and perform a four-minute improvisational presentation within a confined space and integrate a mysterious stranger and prop into the presentation.

Lastly, the service learning and project outreach category offers students the opportunity to identify, design, plan, and carry out a project that address-

Spring election just days away for Green, Rock voters BRODHEAD — Municipal clerks and poll workers are making final preparations for the Tuesday, April 5 election and ballot questions next week.

Voters across Wisconsin will decide Republican and Democratic candidates in a presidential preference vote. They will also select a Supreme Court Justice for a 10-year term on the state’s high court, which has seven members.

Local non-partisan races, as well as a number of referendum questions, depending on where voters live, will also be decided in this spring primary vote.

While almost all but Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and John Kasich competing to lead the Republican ticket have dropped out of the race, Wisconsin voters will still find 12 names from which to choose one Republican candidate for president.

Democratic Party voters will select one presidential candidate from three choices, Hillary Clin-

ton, Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders.

The general election for federal office across the nation will be in November following the primary voting, state-by-state and party conventions.

In statewide voting next week, Wisconsin citizens must decide between Appeals Court Judge JoAnne Kloppenburg and Justice Rebecca Bradley, for a 10-year term on the state Supreme Court.

Gov. Walker appointed Bradley to fill out a vacancy on the High Court last year when Justice Pat Crooks died in office.

The pair were the top votegetters in a run-off election last month that eliminated a Milwaukee circuit court judge from the running. The Independent Register profiled all three candidates in a January issue, archived to its website.

This Friday, April 1, is the last day individuals can register (by noon, mid-day) to be counted on the ballot as write-in candidates.

Gov. Walker signed a measure into law in 2014, letting election

Letter to the editor Dear Editor, As an American and a registered Wisconsin voter, I am particularly excited about the upcoming April 5th Presidential preference and Spring elections.

There will be referendums in Green County on the ballots in the city of Monroe, city of Brodhead, town of Clarno, and town of York. These are advisory referendums brought about by concerned citizens who are involved with the non-partisan movement, United To Amend. The group works with common councils in these municipalities to give voters the opportunity to democratically weigh in on the hot button issue facing our nation today: corruption in our political contests by unlimited, unregulated influence of big money and dark money in our election processes and on our candidates.

Specifically, the intent of the referendums here in our local jurisdictions, as well as others that are taking place all over the country, object to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United vs. The Federal Elections Commission (2010). Older court rulings can also be seen, dating back over 200 years. These have gradually and incorrectly granted incorporated entities with Constitutional rights that are intended for actual human beings.

Also over time with rulings under Supreme Court case law, there has come about the equally false notion that money is equivalent to free speech. With the greed and the ‘pay to play’ culture that now rules the actions of most of our legislators, ‘We The People’ need to take action!

Abraham Lincoln stated that we should have “government of the people, by the people, and for the people.”

I want to encourage all voters who have the referendum in their municipality on April 5th to vote YES! So far, 42% of Wisconsinites have positively supported this referendum, and the work by volunteers for United To Amend goes on!

The more jurisdictions that support this, the more difficult it will be for legislators to ignore the will of the people. The goal of amending the Constitution will not, by itself, create any new laws. This referendum does not commit us to precise wording of the amendment. It does make it clear, as this movement sweeps across the country, that We The People have intent and will for our government to work democratically for the people and by the people.

Sincerely, Jeanette Kelty

officials ignore names writteninto ballots unless the individuals have registered as write-in candidates with their county clerk.

“I will be updating the candidate web listing next week with any changes,” stated Rock County Clerk Lisa Tollefson this past Friday.

Tollefson said just three people in Rock County had registered as write-ins as of March 25.

They were Victor Williams, seeking the Republican Presidential Preference Vote; Terry Thomas, seeking the county supervisor seat in District 21; and Sonja Smith Capes, seeking a trustee position in the Village of Clinton.

Brian Knudson, first elected to Rock County Board in District 8 in 1998, is running unopposed in the western end of the county.

The district includes the towns of Avon, Spring Valley and Magnolia, as well as portions of Newark and Plymouth, as well as wards 7 and 8 in Brodhead and wards 1 and 2 of Orfordville.

Names of individuals who register as write-in candidates in Green County will be available

from County Clerk Mike Doyle next week, too.

Of 31 Green County supervisor districts only in the Town of Albany and a portion of Brooklyn, District 24, is there a contest. Incumbent Gordon Kossner faces a challenge from Erica Roth in that district.

All other supervisor candidates are running unopposed in Green County. Circuit Court Judge Alan Bates and multijurisdictional judge for the city of Evansville and Town of Union Thomas Alisankus are also running unopposed.

Albany School District, however, does have a contest for school board representation.

District voters must pick three board members from a field of five.

Listed on the ballot are Steve Elliott, Phil Kubesh, Barb Briggs, Fred Johnson and Ed Maksym.

Albany School District voters must also decide a referendum that seeks authorization to exceed the state revenue limit by $800,000 in the 2016-17 school year and an additional $200,000 of recurring purpose revenue

for programming and providing quality educational opportunities for students.

Juda School District voters also must decide two ballot questions, a $5.7 million bond issue for costs of improvements, remodeling, renovations and repairs to the district’s buildings; and a $150,000 recurring measure to meet district operation costs.

Both Albany and Juda schools have uploaded detailed information about these referenda on their district websites, held meetings and made presentations on the issues and needs.

Rockford caddie earns full college scholarship ROCKFORD — The first morning of his caddying career at Rockford Country Club, Collin O’Sullivan thought might be his last.

As he approached his member’s tee shot trying to get a yardage, he stumbled over the ball and accidentally kicked it 20 yards down the fairway. It counted as a stroke against the player on a deciding hole.

“I was ashamed and embarrassed,” Collin recalled.

“The player lost the hole but reassured me that mistakes happen and showed great pose throughout the rest of the hole. This event changed my approach to leadership.”

Eventually, Collin become a top caddie at the club, showing a strong work ethic and perseverance. But he never forgot that first lesson – or that member.

“He told me it’s not about the mistake you make, it’s about how you improve yourself from that mistake,” he said.

Collin was recently awarded the Chick Evans Scholarship, a full, four-year housing and tuition college scholarship awarded to golf caddies.

He was part of a group of 15 students who attended a selection meeting at Ridgemoor Country Club in Chicago on March 1, the last step in the process before being awarded the Evans Scholarship.

Collin, from Rockton, will attend the University of Minnesota, where he plans to study finance or economics. He currently is a senior at Hononegah Community High School, where he is involved in numerous activities including intramural sports, debate and speech clubs and student government.

Evans Scholars are chosen based on demonstrating a strong caddie record, excellent academics, financial need and outstanding leadership and character.

The scholarship is valued at more than $80,000 over four years. A full list of 260 new Scholars, who will begin college this fall, will be released this spring.

“Each of our deserving Scholars epitomizes what our Program has been about since its creation in

}Their dedication, hard work and sacrifice is inspiring, and we are honored to be able to help them pursue their dreams.”

— WGA Chairman David Robinson

COLLIN O’SULLIVAN

1930,” said WGA Chairman David Robinson. “Their dedication, hard work and sacrifice is inspiring, and we are honored to be able to help them pursue their dreams.”

The Western Golf Association, headquartered in

Golf, Illinois, has supported the Chick Evans Scholarship Program through the Evans Scholars Foundation since 1930. One of golf’s favorite charities, it is the nation’s largest scholarship program for caddies.

Currently, 910 caddies are enrolled in 19 colleges across the nation as Evans Scholars, and more than 10,000 caddies have graduated as Evans Scholars since the Program was founded by famed Chicago amateur golfer Charles “Chick” Evans Jr. “Based on his excellence in the classroom and his service to his school and community, there is little doubt that Collin has earned this life-changing opportunity,” said John Kaczkowski, WGA President and CEO. “We welcome him to the Evans Scholars family.”

Scholarship funds come mostly from contributions by 28,700 golfers across the country, who are members of the WGA Par Club program.

Evans Scholars Alumni donate more than $11 million annually, and all proceeds from the BMW Championship, the third of four PGA TOUR Playoff events in the PGA TOUR’s FedExCup competition, are donated to the Evans Scholars Foundation. Visit www.wgaesf.org for more information.

ROCKFORD — The 40th Annual Rockford ProAm will be held on Monday, Aug. 15, 2016 at Rockford Country Club. Entering year 40 as the longest free standing ProAm in the country, the Rockford ProAm has donated over $3 million dollars to various northern Illinois health and human services organizations throughout the years.

For 39 years, the event has always achieved its primary goal of bringing an entertaining day of high level professional golf to Rockford and the surrounding communities.

The ProAm traditionally has been held in mid-July and, over the last decade, has been up against the British Open to lure professional golfers to the Tournament.

In 2016, the Olympic games in Rio have helped necessitate a one-time change to the PGA Tour schedule that moves our closest event, the John Deere Classic (JDC) in Silvis, Ill. to a Sunday Aug. 14 finish.

A potential benefit of moving the date away from the British Open offers a unique situation, which will increase opportunities for the Rockford ProAm to draw from a larger professional golfers pool.

Golf Humor

It was a sunny Saturday morning on the Crookhorn municipal golf course in England, and I was beginning my pre-shot routine, visualising my upcoming shot, when a voice came over the clubhouse tannoy: ‘WOULD THE GENTLEMAN ON THE WOMAN’S TEE BACK UP TO THE MEN’S TEE PLEASE.’ I was still deep in my routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption. Again the announcement rang out louder’, Would the MAN on the WOMEN’S tee kindly back up to the men’s tee.’

I simply ignored the request and kept concentrating, when once more, the man yelled’, Would the man on the woman’s tee back up to the men’s tee, PLEASE.’ I finally stopped, turned, looked through the clubhouse window directly at the person with the microphone and shouted back’, Would the person in the clubhouse kindly stop shouting and let me play my second shot’

A VENUE AS MEMORABLE AS YOUR DAY

It’s the most glorious happening in the game of golf. It’s what every golfer dreams about. A hole-in-one. Will and Guy have learned of a man who has recorded five holes-in-one in a week. Yes, indeed, FIVE. Central Illinois amateur golfer Curt Hocker, who plays at the El Paso Golf Club, is that man.

The 22-year-old has recorded five holes-in-one in the last week, including two on Saturday. Mr Hocker has seven aces: five on par4s, and two other double eagles.

We are pleased to be able to tell our readers that Curt Hocker is very glad that his club membership comes with ‘hole-in-one insurance.’ That ‘insurance’ means the club, and not Hocker, has to honour the golf tradition of buying everyone in the clubhouse a drink after an ace is made.

‘I think the golf course is getting mad at me for all the drinks,’ Hocker said. ‘It’s hard to talk about, but it’s awesome to have it happen.’

NOTICE OF SPRING ELECTION AND PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE VOTE AND SAMPLE BALLOTS — APRIL 5, 2016 OFFICE OF THE GREEN COUNTY CLERK TO THE VOTERS OF GREEN COUNTY: Notice is hereby given of a spring election and a Presidential Preference Vote to be held in Green County on April 5, 2016, at which the officers named below shall be chosen.

The names of the candidates for each office to be voted for, whose nominations have been certified to or filed in this office, are given under the title of the office, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, for a referendum, if any, in the sample ballot below.

INFORMATION TO VOTERS Upon entering the polling place, a voter shall state his or her name and address, show an acceptable form of photo identification and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. If a voter is not registered to vote, a voter may register to

vote at the polling place serving his or her residence, if the voter presents proof of residence in a form specified by law. Where ballots are distributed to voters, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot.

Upon being permitted to vote, the voter shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot, except that a voter who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the voter’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the voter of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

AT THE SPRING ELECTION The voter shall fill in the oval next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall

write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided, and fill in the oval next to the write-in line. On referendum questions, the voter shall fill in the oval next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or fill in the oval next to “no” if opposed to the question.

When using an electronic ballot marking device to mark an optical scan ballot, the voter shall touch the screen at the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote.

To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the voter shall touch the screen at “yes” if in favor of the question, or the voter shall touch the screen at “no” if opposed to the question.

AT THE PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE VOTE Within the party of his or her choice, the voter shall fill in the oval next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice, or shall, in the alternative, fill in the oval next to the words “Uninstructed Delegation,” or write in the name of a person of his or her choice for a candidate in the space provided for a writein vote and fill in the oval next to the write-in line.

When using an electronic ballot marking device to mark an optical scan ballot, the voter shall touch the screen at the party of his or her choice. Within the party of his or her choice, the voter shall then touch the screen at the name of the candidate of his or her choice or shall, in the alternative, touch the screen at the words “Uninstructed Delegation,” or type in the name of a person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote.

A voter may cast only one vote in the presidential preference primary.

The vote shall not be cast in any other manner. Not more than five minutes’ time shall be allowed inside a voting booth.

Sample ballots or other materials to assist the voter in marking his or her ballot may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

If a voter spoils an optical scan ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one voter. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the voter shall return it to the election official who shall issue a proper ballot in its place.

After Voting the Ballot After an official optical scan ballot is marked, the voter shall insert the ballot in the voting device and shall leave the polling place promptly.

A voter may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the voter declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing, or understanding English, or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot.

The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the voter’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the voter.

The following is a sample of the official ballot:

Notice to the Public for Immediate Release: Per the Wisconsin State Statutes: Chapter 83 “County Highways” and Chapter 86 “Miscellaneous Highway Provisions”, notice is hereby given by the Green County Highway Department to adjacent landowners of the liability for damages related to County Highways and County Highway right-of-way.

The Green County Highway Department hereby notifies adjacent landowners who encroach upon the County Highway Right-of-Way in the process of cultivation, harvest, fence replacement, grading, drainage, or other disturbance acts of the Wisconsin State laws pertaining to damages. In addition, the Highway Department will not be liable for damages to private property on county right-ofway for said encroachments.

If a landowner is unsure of the location or width of the existing County Highway Right-of-Way adjacent to their parcels, please contact the Green County Highway Department at (608) 328-9411 for assistance in determining the proper location of the right-of-way line and the limits of cultivation of adjacent parcels.

The referendum question to be submitted to appears in the sample ballot below.

INFORMATION TO ELECTORS Upon entering the polling place, an elector shall give his or her name and address before being permitted to vote. Where ballots are distributed to electors, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the elector shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that an elector who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the elector’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the elector of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

On referendum questions, the elector shall make a cross (X) in the square or depress the lever or button at the right of “yes” if in favor of the question, or the elector shall make a cross (X) in the square or depress the lever or button at the right of “no” if opposed to the question.

The vote should not be cast in any

other manner. If the elector spoils a ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one elector. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the elector shall return it to the election official, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. Not more than five minutes’ time shall be allowed inside a voting booth or machine. Unofficial ballots or a memorandum to assist the elector in casting his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

The elector shall leave the booth, deposit the ballot in the ballot box, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit, and shall leave the polling place promptly.

After an official marksense ballot is marked, it shall be inserted in the security sleeve so the marks do not show. After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the booth, insert the ballot in the voting device and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. If a central count system is used, the elector shall insert the ballot in the ballot box and discard the sleeve, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. The elector shall leave the polling place promptly.

An elector may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the elector declares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing or understanding English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the elector’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the elector.

Dear Editor, “Money in Politics.” We hear those words nearly every day, often accompanied by statements declaring that nothing can (or should) be done about it. However, most Americans don’t want to hear reasons why they should do nothing when they, very clearly, see that our democracy is in trouble.

Both progressive and conservative citizens understand that our politicians are owned by their funders. All polls regard-

g n i l F g n i r p S

ing the impact of money in politics show that 80% to 90% of Americans understand that this money is destroying their power and rights to govern.

The amazing success of Donald Trump demonstrates that conservatives are as tired of this corruption as are progressives. We are in the middle of the most dysfunctional Presidential election in memory.

People want change.

Dozens of Wisconsin communities have voted to call for passing the We The People amendment, with YES votes averaging 75%.

We Wisconsinites understand that if we are to reclaim our democracy from the moneyed interests, it will take drastic action. Citizens are tired of the excuses being made for their loss of opportunity, economic security and freedoms to those who corrupt and control our politicians.

The grassroots, non-partisan movement United to Amend has helped to pass 61 resolutions in Wisconsin (over 680 nationally), and eleven more communities will pass it on April 5th. Four of these communities are in Green County.

All of them will pass this resolution because people get it.

If you live in Monroe, Brodhead, the Town of York or the Town of Clarno, we hope you will join the growing movement that WILL get the We The People amendment passed – and reclaim our power and hope. Please vote YES on April 5th.
