Ride Across Wisconsin donates $3,000 to Green County 4-H On Monday, April 3, the Wisconsin Bike Fed presented Green County 4-H with a $3,000 donation from the 2016 Ride Across Wisconsin as a thank-you for helping with the Monroe Rest Stop.

This year, nearly 1,000 people are expected to participate in RAW, a 175-mile border-to-border ride from Dubuque to Kenosha. While there is a two-day option, most riders complete the challenging ride from the Mississippi to Lake Michigan in one day.

The Wisconsin Bike Fed produces the ride to promote the amazing riding in Wisconsin. RAW is unique in that participants ride with the Trek Segafredo professional racers who have ridden in the Tour de France and the other grand tours in Europe. For cyclists, it’s like scrimmaging with the Packers or playing a pick-up baseball game with the Milwaukee Brewers.

One of the reasons Wisconsin cycling is so special is that most of our low-traffic rural town roads are paved, thanks to our dairy industry.

As a small thank-you to Wisconsin’s

family farmers, riders make donations to 4-H as part of the ride. The Bike Fed then matches those donations.

This year, RAW will donate a total of $6,000 to the Green County 4-H, with the second check presented after the ride.

The Bike Fed also uses farm-totable chefs, who work with local farmers to cater the lunch food for the riders. This year, the Monroe rest stop will be catered by Chef Evan from World Champion Roth Cheese.

Finally, thanks to the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board and the Wisconsin family dairy farms, our Holland Family Farm rest stop in Gratiot and our finish party in Kenosha will feature chocolate milk, nature’s perfect recovery drink.

The 2017 Ride Across Wisconsin will be Aug. 26.

“A Very Sugar River Earth Day” was held on Saturday, April 22, in downtown Albany. Sponsored by Albertson Memorial Library and Albany Community1st, the event included many vendors and activities.

Kara Blue, director of the library, said that Earth Day is “an opportunity to reflect upon all the things we should be doing to protect our planet.” She said the Sugar River is a valuable resource.

The vendors were from local businesses and organizations and had many hands-on activities, such as sampling water, making crafts, practicing seed-planting, visiting with a turtle, perusing books on display, and watching a movie.

A display on rain gardens showed how they capture refuse to prevent it from reaching the river.

Another display showed alternatives to traditional medicine. Alex McNaught said nettle is good for the blood and provides iron and vitamins A, B, C, and D. McNaught said nettle is particularly helpful in treating PMS and symp-

Panthers pummel Benton-Shullsburg

By Derek Hoesly CORRESPONDENT

The Juda-Albany Panthers (7-1 overall, 4-0 Six Rivers) brought the homerun sticks en route to a 10-0 victory over Benton-Shullsburg last Thursday.

The home run barrage started in the bottom of the first. Senior Chelsea Burkhalter laced a base hit into left field with one out. Senior Sayde McDermott launched the first pitch through the stiff wind for a two-run homer over the left-field fence.

“She put a good swing on it, and man, did she hit that ball hard against a wind that strong. That was pretty amazing,” coach Bill Davis said.

“I was practicing late in the week to keep my hips back and all of a sudden I kept my hips back and it was gone,” McDermott said.

Juda-Albany broke the game open with six runs on five hits in the bottom of the second. Junior Nicki Becker drilled an impressive, opposite-field, solo home run to right-center to put the Panthers up 3-0. Junior Sammi Detra ripped an opposite-field single to right field.

Senior Riley Adkins then laid down a bunt toward third baseman Savannah Hilby, who couldn’t field cleanly for a costly error. Senior leadoff hitter Alexis Goecks hammered a base hit right back up the middle to load the bases with one out.

Benton-Shullsburg starter Hattie Rennert then uncorked two wild pitches to give the Panthers a 5-0

lead. Burkhalter drew a base-onballs and swiped second to put runners on second and third. A third wild pitch made the score 6-0. Senior Sara Jordan tattooed a loud RBI double to the left-field corner to balloon the lead to 7-0.

McDermott waited back and hit a bloop single to right field. Junior Hailey Kammerer then worked a walk to load the bases again with just one out. The Panthers’ patience continued as Becker worked a free pass to force in a run. Benton-Shullsburg stopped the bleeding with an inning-ending double play off the bat of junior Maddie Roth. Roth lined a shot to the shortstop, who snagged the bullet and doubled off the runner at third.

“We had to try to get some offense going early because we figure usually, they’re not going to score a lot of runs off Nicki. The girls really did produce,” Davis said.

The top of the third inning ended in a bizarre way. Kelsie Goffinet legged out an infield single to third, but Morgan Emery started to walk off the field. Adkins then tagged Goffinet to end the inning.

The home run derby continued in the bottom of the third. Adkins delivered a memorable shot with her first high school homerun, a line shot over the centerfield fence.

“It was pretty exciting for me because I went from a .200 hitter last year, and then I hit that homerun this year. I’m not a consistent hitter, so it was really exciting to hit

a homerun to center,” Adkins said.

Becker retired the final six batters to end the game. Due to the chilly temperature, Becker couldn’t get a feel for her nasty rise ball, but she used other devastating pitches.

Becker deployed her lethal drop ball and mixed in inside fastballs.

Juda-Albany tacked on another run in the bottom of the fourth.

Kammerer drew a one-out walk.

Becker then hit a slow chopper to third that Hilby fired wide to second, trying to get the force out.

Roth then worked a base-on-balls to load the bases. Detra lifted a sacrifice fly to centerfield to extend the lead to 10-0.

Becker earned the win, going five shutout frames and surrendering one hit, one walk, and zero earned runs, while recording seven strikeouts.

“It wasn’t the best because of the cold, but I powered through it. My rise balls weren’t working too great because my hand was cold, so it was hard to grip the ball,” Becker said.

“It was tough for her to throw KATHY ROTH PHOTOS probably her best pitch, the rise Brodhead Independent-Register ball. It was tough for her to get a grip on the ball so we went to her second and third pitches and they were good enough to get us out today,” Davis said.

McDermott led the Panthers’ offensive attack, going 2-for-3 with one run scored and two RBIs. Ju- (Above) Sophomore Karlee da-Albany pounded out eight hits Kesler gets ready to steal third and drew five walks in the contest. base in a 12-0 win over Argyle

Dozens of native species grasses, flowers, and shrubs endure a cloudy, chilly day outside the greenhouse at Taylor Creek Restoration Nurseries. The plants are moved out in the elements for a final “hardening-off” period that toughens the plants ahead of transportation to points throughout the upper Midwest.

Fred Faessler, farm manager at Taylor Creek Restoration Nurseries, leans on the brakes and points through the windshield to my right.

He tells me 125 different perennials and grasses are plotted on this 55-acre field, and he points out the ones worth knowing. “Rattlesnake master,” he proclaims with a flourish before launching into a litany of interesting facts about the plant.

It turns out rattlesnake master owes its scientific name, Eryngium yuccifolium, to the striking similarity between its leaves and those of the Yucca Plant. With its long, spiky leaves and thorny, golf ball-sized seed heads, “It looks like it should grow out west,” Faessler remarks.

“But it doesn’t; it grows here.”

The rattlesnake master, and every other seed, tree, shrub, and flower raised on the nursery, “grows here” in a quite profound sense.

They are all native species, which the Audobon Society classifies as plants that occur naturally in a region in which they evolved. Some of them, like the Spiderwort, can be found in a roadside ditch around Brodhead. Others are being gently reintroduced to the landscape after generations of a dwindling presence brought on by development and invasive species.

All of them carry evolutionary adaptions to the local climate and soil, as well as symbiotic relationships with local pollinator species.

Restoration Nursery is a wholesale nursery, supplying churches and schools, corporations, farmers, and arboretums with the seeds and seedlings that eventually become prairies, gardens, scientific displays, green spaces, and landscaping. Locally, the nursery has seeded the landscaping around the public

library and seeded the prairie behind the Congregational United Church on County Highway T. This year, most of the plants are headed to the Chicagoland area, while the seeds are bound for Iowa.

It all begins in early March, when early perennial plots require cultivating. As one plot is finished, another one or two fields green up, ready for the disc. There is also herbicide to be applied. Driving through the field in late April, Faessler saw plenty of more work to do, wincing at a smattering of weeds in one plot or another.

“But you’ve got to prioritize,” he said, as much to himself as anybody, and noted that certain species require cultivation more urgently than others.

Back in the greenhouses, Nurs-

ery Director Corrine Daniels estimates that the production greenhouses will germinate, pot, and firm up more than one million potted plants this season, at a clip of thousands a week. On top of that is growing seeds, which Daniels estimates to account for 50 percent of the workload in the spring.

Taylor Creek Restoration Nursery is celebrating its 30th anniversary on Friday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Upper Midwest and Great Lakes Conservation Coordinator John Rogner and award-winning ecologist Dr. Alan Haney will be present.

The nursery will be open for retail on Fridays beginning Friday, May 6. Flowers will be available for purchase.

Green County Master Gardeners hosting lawncare program Ever wondered how to make your lawn look greener and thicker? How to patch bare spots and what types of grass are best for your lawn?

When is the correct time to apply fertilizer and what types? Or how does proper mowing and watering practices impact your lawn appearance? Do you have questions on how to grow grass in shady areas? Do you need help with weed and pest control in your yard?

If the answer is “yes” to any of these questions, plan to attend the Green County Master Gardeners’ monthly meeting on Thursday, April 27, at 7 p.m. at the Green County Justice Center’s multi-purpose rooms, 2841 6th Street, Monroe.

Mark Mayer, Green County UW-Extension Ag Agent, will be presenting “Lawn and Turf Care.”

Mayer has a vast knowledge of lawns and turf and will be answering the questions above, as well as others you may have regarding lawncare.

Mayer serves as the advisor to the Green

County UW-Extension Master Gardeners Association and has been assisting area homeowners with their lawncare problems and questions for over 30 years.

The Green County Wisconsin Master Gardeners Association was formed in Green County in 2004 to provide Master Gardeners with opportunities for professional development and community service. Master Gardener volunteers help to provide beauty and growth in communities for flower, plant, and vegetative areas.

Led by President Marilyn Sandin-Ross, the Green County Master Gardeners Association meets on the fourth Thursday of the month from February through October. Anyone interested in horticulture and gardening is welcomed to join the association. You do not have to be a Master Gardener to be a member to attend.

Increase your harvest without increasing the size of your garden or workload. All you need is a bit of intensive planting, along with some low-maintenance techniques.

Invest some time upfront to prepare the garden soil. This will save you time throughout the growing season. Add several inches of organic matter and a slow-release fertilizer into the top eight to 12 inches of soil. The organic matter improves drainage in clay soils and increases moisture retention in sandy soils. The slow release fertilizer feeds the plants for several months, reducing the number of applications needed. You’ll have healthier plants that are better able to fend off pests and outcompete the weeds.

Match the plants with the right growing conditions. Tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables that produce fruit need full sun. Leafy crops like lettuce are more tolerant of shade. Check plant tags and seed packets for planting details, or download a free gardening app, like Homegrown with Bonnie Plants, for plant information, maintenance tips, weather reports, and more.

Plant seeds and transplants in blocks with fewer pathways. Give each plant enough room to grow to its full size. Your rows will be closer together with just enough paths for weeding, watering, and harvesting. You will be growing more plants and pulling fewer weeds with this strategy.

Interplant to further maximize your planting space. Plant shortseason vegetables like lettuce and radishes in between properly spaced longer-season vegetables like broccoli and tomatoes. By the time the longer-season plants start filling the space, the shorter season plantings will be ready to harvest.

You’ll be pulling radishes or cutting lettuce instead of weeds. Plus, you’ll harvest two crops from one row.

Plant successive crops throughout the growing season. Plant cool weather vegetables like spinach, radishes, and lettuce in spring.

Once these are harvested, replace with warm weather vegetables like beans, tomatoes, or cucumbers.

Finish off the season by filling

any voids with a fall crop of cool weather vegetables.

Go vertical to save space, reduce disease, and make harvesting easier. Growing vine crops on supports lifts the fruit off the ground and increases the amount of light and airflow the plants receive, reducing the risk of disease. Plus, you’ll do less bending when it’s time to harvest.

Mulch the garden with pine straw/evergreen needles, shredded leaves, or other organic matter. These materials suppress the weeds, conserve moisture and add organic matter to the soil as they

decompose. You’ll have fewer weeds to pull and not have to water as often.

Save time and water with the help of soaker hoses or drip irrigation. These systems apply the water directly to the soil where it is needed. Less water is lost to overspray, evaporation, and runoff. They also reduce the risk and spread of disease by preventing water from settling on the leaves of the plants.

Try a few or all of these strategies this season for an abundant harvest without a lot of extra work.

Village stokes development momentum

prvesentation given by James Otterstein of the Rock County Development Alliance. Otterstein is a consultant to the village in their development efforts.

Obituary

GERALD W. JOHNSON Gerald W. Johnson, 90, of Brodhead, died Friday, April 21, 2017, at Mercy Hospital. He was born on Aug. 18, 1926, in Beloit, the son of Delbert and Mabel Johnson. He married Marlene K. Kluttermann on Aug. 21, 1999, in Brodhead.

He worked at Fairbanks and Morse in Beloit for over 40 years.

Gerald enjoyed collecting beer advertising and bear sculptures, his 1987 Chevy pickup truck, and going to car and tractor shows.

He is survived by his wife, Marlene of Brodhead; a son, Gerald “Rick”

(Flora) Johnson of Adams Friendship, Wis; four step-children: Martin (Marie) Roeben of Valley Springs, Calif., Mark (Lynn) Roeben of Fort Wayne, Ind., Colleen (Jeff) Bronkhorst of Waterloo, Wis., and Tim Roeben of Evansville; many grandchildren and step-grandchildren; many great-grandchildren and step-great grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Renwich Johnson; sister, Fern Jacobs; and brothers, Howard and Ronald Johnson.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. tomorrow, Thursday, April, 27, at Everson Funeral Home, Brodhead, with Rev. Martin Roeben officiating.

Burial will be in Greenwood Cemetery, Brodhead. A visitation will be held Thursday, from 10 a.m. until the time of service.

in 2016 and immediate plans for the future. Strupp presented the council’s vision of a revitalized downtown, featuring a community corner appointed with a picnic table, bicycle racks, and flower boxes all resting on stamped concrete.

She outlined the council’s efforts to work with federal and state officials to encourage entrepreneurship and investment in the activity, adding that the village will also pursue grants set aside for economic development in small communities. Strupp also noted the then-upcoming April 22 ribbon-cutting of Heart of a Gypsy L.L.C., at the site of the old Harvest Community Church. Business owner Norma Thoerson says it will be an “eclectic, one-of-a-kind, fun-filled shop.”

Thoerson also praised the council when the meeting opened up to comments, saying, “Without it, I would not have thought of improving it (the storefront) the way I did.” Thoerson was awarded grant money from the village to improve her storefront.

Rhonda Streich lived just outside of Orfordville for 30 years and made a return visit from her present home in Foreston, Ill., to “come test the waters,” at the open house.

Streich said she had heard good things about the newly bustling downtown Orfordville and is considering opening a quilting shop there.

Shelly Johnson and Becky Olver were in attendance as imminent-business owners in Orfordville. The pair hope to open their coffee shop, “The Haven” by the start of June Days. Johnson said that while the pair believed the village needed a coffee shop well before the flurry of development, the momentum generated by the economic activity has been contagious and accelerated the coffee shop opening.

Orfordville welcomed yet another new business last Saturday, April 22, when Heart of a Gypsy opened its doors for the first time.

Pictured here are co-owners Norma Thoreson (left) and Keni Christiansen (right).

Heart of a Gypsy now open

By Siara Schwartzlow EDITOR

“We’re a unique giftshop,” co-owner Norma Thoreson said, gesturing to the many handmade arts and crafts that fill Heart of a Gypsy, 202 West Beloit Street in Orfordville. “Everything has a story.”

Thoreson pointed out large heart and butterfly magnets, hand-painted by a retired couple; glass sculptures blown by a retired gentleman who “turned off his ovens for the last time”; and even photography taken by Keni Christiansen, co-owner of the store.

“I had to drive through country roads to get this one because I wanted to get the flowers,” Christiansen said of one of her photos. The photograph shows a white building surrounded by greenery in the mountains of Virginia. Pink and purple flowers dot the foreground.

Just ten weeks ago, Christiansen was working full-time as a nurse.

Ready for a career change and with a now-or-never attitude, Christiansen and co-owner Thoreson, with the help of Thoreson’s sister Erika Balza, dove into plans to open Heart of a Gypsy.

“We always really liked that saying, ‘Heart of a hippie, spirit of a fairy, and soul of a gypsy,” Christansen said. “So we played around with it and came up with Heart of a Gypsy.”

Heart of a Gypsy carries handmade arts and crafts from all over the United States. Products include greeting cards, books, sassy aprons, bohemian purses, body scrubs, and more.

Store hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Tuesday through Saturday. Thoreson and Christiansen may be reached at 608-447-1494 or store@heartofagypsywi.com.

Since 2010, the number of regulated group centers has dropped by 161 statewide, and family childcare has gone down 53 percent from 5,466 providers to 2,901 (Department of Children and Families).

Where do the children go while their parents are working or going to school if the number of childcare facilities continues to drop?

Children who are in quality environments are more likely to graduate from high school, go to college, have jobs that pay a livable wage, and lead happy, productive lives. They are 30 percent less likely to be in special education in grade 3 and more likely to get services for

Topic of Green County Genealogical Society meeting set Being a teen during the Blitz The Green County Genealogical Society’s May 6 meeting gives us the opportunity to hear first-hand what it was like in England during the WWII Blitz.

Author Joy Aavang shares her memories of living with her grandparents in England before and during WWII. Their home was near a military target, so the German Blitz repeatedly forced them to seek cover in air-raid shelters.

Join us to hear her coming-of-age story of living in a danger zone and working for Lloyd’s of London.

The Green County Genealogical Society meeting will be held in the second-floor meeting room of the Monroe Public Library at 10 a.m.

Saturday, May 6. Visitors are always welcomed, and there is no cost to attend.

You may call Sharon Mitchell (815-868-2416) or Donna Kjendlie (608-921-1537) if you have questions.

The GCGS Research Center (located in lower level of the Monroe Public Library) is available for research to the public each Tuesday and third Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the first Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. until June when summer hours start.

speech, occupational therapy, and physical therapy prior to entering kindergarten.

Did you know the first five years are critical for a child’s development?

This is when the non-cognitive skills like curiosity, love of learning, persistence, self-confidence, problem-solving, working together, and empathy, are learned. These skills are imperative for all the cognitive skills like reading, writing, and arithmetic our children learn once they enter kindergarten.

How do we ensure our children’s daycare providers are able to create environments that our children can thrive in? Fifty-two percent of our state’s childcare employees have at least an associate degree compared to 41 percent of all workers, and they only get paid an average of $10 per hour. Turnover is 30 percent a year.

Family childcare providers make an average of $9.85 an hour for 40-hour workweeks, but when you adjust for the 50 hours the average family childcare providers work directly with children, it becomes $7.88 per hour. Benefits are nonexistent with only 17 percent having access to employer-based health insurance.

Almost zero have retirement options with employer 401(k) matches or pensions (COWS and Wisconsin Early Childhood Association).

But where does the average $8,000 to $12,000 parents pay per child go?

Most of the money goes to creating a high-quality environment for the children to learn and grow in.

On average, each child costs $1,170 per year to feed, $150 per month for activity supplies, and $400 per year for equipment. Then there are the buildings, property taxes, liability

insurance, water, electrical, and gas bills. So the provider has between $1,000 and $5,000 left as profit for an income or to pay employees.

During this budget cycle, it is imperative that we let our local and state officials know that early childhood is important and a vital part of our infrastructure. It is estimated to cost our economy $3 billion when there isn’t childcare available to workers. For every dollar invested, we get $7 to $10 back (Governor’s Early Childhood Advisory Council 2015).

Support your childcare providers, encourage those who would be great teachers to go into the field, and respect the profession that works so hard to ensure that all our children have an opportunity to succeed.

Letter to the Editor

Dig safely this spring

On April 4, the Wisconsin Legislature recognized the importance of calling or clicking prior to excavation by declaring April Safe Digging Month in Wisconsin.

Every six minutes, an underground utility line is damaged in the United States because someone excavated without first having the underground wires located.

The risk of injury or death is real.

It’s also preventable. For everyone’s safety, always have underground utilities located by calling 811, the national “Call Before You Dig” telephone number prior to every excavation.

In Wisconsin, homeowners and contractors can either call 811 or contact the state’s One-Call Center (Diggers Hotline) at 800-242-8511 or www.diggershotline.com. Wisconsin requires locations to be requested at least three working days before excavation begins.

As the Fort Atkinson area supervisor for Enbridge, I am responsible for the safety of hundreds of miles of pipelines in Wisconsin. I know firsthand the importance of safe digging practices. Whether planting a tree or installing a fence, knowing where underground utilities are located before you start digging will save time, money, and even lives. It’s easy, it’s free, and it’s the law.

Cover crop lessons can fill entire fields - above and below the soil

By Tony Ends CORRESPONDENT

TONY ENDS PHOTO Brodhead Independent-Register

Berseem clover was just one of nine cover crop varieties identified and discussed with state and local UW Extension and NRCS staff in the Green County Land and Water Conservation field day at the Dennis Miller Farm.

IR

Springtime thaw and snow melt reveal benefits of employing cover crops to soil fertility stewards.

Lessons from soil enrichment and contributions of individual cover crop varieties greeted about 25 people gathered April 13 for a field day at the Dennis Miller farm just west of Brodhead.

Miller started a year ago last fall breaking his corn and bean row crop cycle by including winter wheat plantings, which allow seasonal windows for cover crop seeding.

“Cover crops give the biology in the soil a big boost,” said Francisco Arriaga, a UW-Madison Assistant Professor of soil science, who took part in the Green County field day.

“Cover crops support a whole system of positive chemical properties and soil fertility.

“The better your soil structure, the better it resists compaction,” Arriaga said, “and the greater the variety of carbon contributions from organic matter, the better you’re feeding your crops.”

A cover crop is a planting that has many uses in agriculture. It slows erosion, improves soil health, and helps make water available to crops.

Some cover crop varieties can also smother weeds, help control pests and diseases, and increase biodiversity.

Tonya Gratz of Green County Land and Water Conservation Department and NRCS District Conservationist Jason Thomas have been promoting cover crop use with field days and links to cover crop resources. The afternoon field day at Miller’s followed a morning session at Jim, Jeff, and Jaimie McNeely’s farm near Brooklyn just west of Highway 104.

Many plant varieties used as cover crops have high nitrogen values and thus cut chemical fertilizer expenses when turned into the soil ahead of row crop plantings. They also can give fields a break from compaction that results from heavy equipment and chemical use, depending on kill methods employed following cover crops.

Miller used a Great Plains no-till drill last Aug. 3, 2016, to plant Dwarf Essex Rape, Berseem Clover, Forage Turnips, Purple Top Turnips, Crimson Clover, Sunn Hemp, varieties of peas, oats, and barley. Part of the field day this month was to view how many varieties had died off in winter and discuss their individual contributions, advantages, seeding rates, and timing requirements.

Cover crops can bring a host of benefits to a farm, according to the Sustainable Agriculture Research

and Education program’s online learning center.

Cover crops have been shown to increase crop yields, break through plow pan, add organic matter to the soil, improve crop diversity on farms, and attract pollinators, according to SARE. There is increasing research evidence that growing cover crops increases resilience in erratic, increasingly intensive rainfall, as well as drought.

Cover crop varieties contribute higher quality organic matter to the soil than do corn residues or soybean stubble. All plant and animal matter contribute by death and decomposition to micro-biotic soil life. The richer and more readily available this organic matter is, however, the better it helps soil micro-organisms replenish the nutrients that row crops strip

Green Country Board Updates

er; farmers need to be speaking up.

The big ag voices in Madison are not speaking for the majority of the farmers in Green County; they are speaking for big money. Don’t let big money speak for you; speak up for what is right for Green County and for you.

As Rep. Pope said, the legislators who were not present at the board meeting are the ones we need to be talking to.

Does anyone want to go to the capitol and knock on some office doors with me?

Our CAFO discussion ended with a well-deserved nod to our County Conservationist, Todd Jenson, and his staff for their commendable work on this permit application for Pinnacle Dairy.

Pinnacle Dairy paid the application fee of $1000, but the amount of time put in by our Land and Water Conservation Department exceeded $50,000 to be paid by you, the taxpayers.

The rest of the county board meeting included resolutions for fund transfers, rezoning a parcel of land in the Town of Sylvester, and the sale of 3.2 acres in the Town of Exeter. There were presentations of annual reports from five departments. I enjoy the annual reports, especially as a relative newcomer to the board, because they give a nice overview of what is going on in the county and so many of the services that are offered.

The next county board meeting will be Tuesday, May 9, at 7 p.m. in the historic courthouse on the square in Monroe. The agenda will be posted on the Green County website about a week before. Please see the website for county information: www.co.green. wi.gov.

I can be reached at EricaRothGreenCountyBoard@gmail.com or 608371-9074. I represent District 24, the Town of Albany, but am happy to talk with all residents of Green County.

I grew up in Mineral Point, and worked for a couple different neighbors milking cows or bailing hay; basically to save up to buy a car.

I was raised with the belief that if you wanted something, you worked for it. My kids were both athletes, but they th still always worked. Now, both of my grandsons have savings accounts. Their parents are very diligent about putting the boys’ money in those accounts.
