The school board approved Knox’s starting salary of $95,000 at its June 9 meeting, according to the unofficial meeting minutes.

Knox holds a master’s degree from Concordia University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. She also holds licenses as a reading

teacher and as a director of instruction, the release said.

“The district conducted a formal search process Kelly Knox for the principal vacancy to ensure that the best available candidate would be chosen to lead Albrecht elementary,” the release said.

“After a thorough review of candidate qualifications and impressions formed by the interview team, the board offered the principal position to Mrs. Knox.”

“We are extremely excited to welcome Kelly to our district … ” Novy said in the release. “Her strong literacy background, knowledge in target-based learning and her elementary-level experiences make her a wonderful fit for our school.

“We are confident that Mrs. Knox will continue the many great things we currently have in place at Albrecht and look forward to her bringing new ideas to make a great school even better.”

Brodhead accepts mobile food vendor applications such vendors with that of the impact such vendors could have on businesses that pay property taxes, the committee presented a draft ordinance to the council, the release said.

“The committee felt the ordinances presented addressed public safety and health concerns, as well as efforts to attract commerce to the city,” the release said.

The new ordinance has many similarities to Janesville’s ordinance. It allows those mobile food vendors who obtain a city permit to

sell hot or cold, freshly prepared or packaged food, ice cream, shaved ice or frozen confectionaries, etc. along city streets, or on public or private properties.

The ordinance has several restrictions mobile food vendors must follow, including: • Must carry liability insurance.

• Must have all state required licenses.

• Sales can only occur between 8 a.m. and dusk.

• Vendors cannot sell within 200 feet of an event issued a

permit by the city or a city park that has been reserved. Vendors would need to get permission from the event organizer, and in the case of a city park, permission from the park and recreation director.

• If parked on a public street, on public property or in a public parking lot, vendors can only remain in that area for 60 minutes.

• Vendors are prohibited from setting up tables or chairs, otherwise referred to a sidewalk café, on any public property, sidewalk, or streets

for people dine on.

The mobile food vendor permits are valid from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, and require an annual fee. Hughes said the fee is to help offset city staffing costs for reviewing applications.

“The ordinance does not require the permit fee to be submitted if the applicant is a bonafide nonprofit group or has rented a space during a Brodhead Chamber of Commerce event,” according to the release.

The annual fee is $100 for

motorized vehicles or trailers, and $50 for non-motorized carts. The fee will not be prorated and the permits will need to renewed every year for the same fee. The ordinance does not set a cap on the number of mobile vendors allowed in the city.

To obtain a permit application as well as a copy of all the requirements and regulations, contact the Brodhead city clerk’s office at 608-897-4018 or go online to www.cityof brodheadwi.us.

Members of the Brodhead Common Council recently approved an ordinance regarding mobile food vendors in the city.

Brodhead Police Chief Chris Hughes said the city’s Public Safety Committee started researching the need for such an ordinance back in 2017, but interest faded. In the later part of 2020 interest took an uptick, and committee members renewed their review, Hughes said.

After taking public input and balancing the need for

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources officials are asking the public to stay vigilant and avoid burning due to fire danger levels in the state.

The drought monitor indicates the southeast and southern portions of Wisconsin are experiencing moderate drought conditions. The area is experiencing well below normal rainfall and the vegetation is starting to dry out, making it more likely to catch fire, a DNR news release said.

Green and Rock counties are the among the 25-plus counties with a moderate fire danger level as of last weekend. About another 15 counties in the northeast and central portions of the state are in the high risk level.

To access daily fire danger advisories, wildfire reports and burning restrictions, go online to bit.ly/WiFireDan ger.

The DNR has responded to 765 wildfires burning more

than 1,900 acres so far this year, plus many more suppressed by local fire departments and federal partners, the release said.

Residents are asked to be extra careful with any outdoor flames, campfires, ash disposal or equipment use. People should check any recent debris burns for smoldering embers, as breezy conditions can cause fires to rekindle.

In addition, the DNR offered these safety tips: • Check before you burn.

Monitor conditions and restrictions daily.

• Operate equipment (chainsaws, off-road vehicles, lawn mowers, etc.) early in the morning or late in the day to avoid sparks at peak burn hours.

• Secure dragging trailer chains.

• Delay having campfires until the evening hours as fire conditions tend to improve; keep them small and contained.

Enjoying June Dairy Month in Wisconsin

June Dairy Month is a time to give thanks and highlight our state’s dairy farmers and processors. One of my favorite things about June Dairy Month is having the opportunity to visit farms around the state for dairy breakfasts, farm tours, and more.

There are more than 7,000 dairy farms that contribute to Wisconsin’s legacy as “America’s Dairyland” and work hard every day to provide high quality dairy products. Dairy foods provide a unique nutrient profile that is beneficial for people of all ages and a natural source of immune-boosting nutrients including vitamin A, vitamin D, and protein.

Dairy farmers also have a long history of protecting their land and water to ensure the success of future generations, farms, and communities.

COVID-19 outbreak sends high school students home

Brodhead High School senior Kaitlyn Welsh is turning to the local community to help children and families in Haiti.

As her senior project, Welsh is organizing the Walk for Family on Saturday, Sept. 26. The two-mile walk will begin at 9 a.m. at the start of the Sugar River Trail in Brodhead.

Community members also may opt to participate by taking their own walking route and collecting donations for the cause, Welsh said in a news release.

The walk will raise money for One Gift, One Child, a ministry of former Brodhead residents Natalie and Pierre Charlotin. Natalie Charlotin is a Brodhead graduate.

“One Gift, One Child serves to prevent orphans and reunite families in the impoverished country of Haiti,” the news release said. “As a ministry, it provides orphaned children, or those put in orphanages by their families, safety from abuse, poverty, rejection, slavery, trafficking and hatred.

“Their end goal is to provide every child a safe environment and eventual reunion with their family. If they do not have a family, they are placed into a foster home that allows them a safe, loving environment to grow up in.”

To receive a Walk for Family sponsor sheet or get more information, send an email to Welsh at welshkai@ brodhead.k12.wi.us. Sponsor sheets and monetary donations will be collected on or before Sept. 26 and presented to the Charlotins for One Gift, One Child.

To make a donation online, go to livingwordwi.org and click on “giving,” then on “give now” and change the designation from “general offering” to “special offering.”

For more information about One Gift, One Child, go online to onegiftonechild.org.

Walk set for Sept. 26

Brodhead High School senior Kaitlyn Welsh is turning to the local community to help children and families in Haiti.

As her senior project, Welsh is organizing the Walk for Family on Saturday, Sept. 26. The two-mile walk will begin at 9 a.m. at the start of the Sugar River Trail in Brodhead.

Community members also may opt to participate by taking their own walking route and collecting donations for the cause, Welsh said in a news release.

The walk will raise money for One Gift, One Child, a ministry of former Brodhead residents Natalie and Pierre Charlotin. Natalie Charlotin is a Brodhead graduate.

“One Gift, One Child serves to prevent orphans and reunite families in the impoverished country of Haiti,” the news release said. “As a ministry, it provides orphaned children, or those put in orphanages by their families, safety from abuse, poverty, rejection, slavery, trafficking and hatred.

“Their end goal is to provide every child a safe environment and eventual reunion with their family. If they do not have a family, they are placed into a foster home that allows them a safe, loving environment to grow up in.”

To receive a Walk for Family sponsor sheet or get more information, send an email to Welsh at welshkai@ brodhead.k12.wi.us. Sponsor sheets and monetary donations will be collected on or before Sept. 26 and presented to the Charlotins for One Gift, One Child.

To make a donation online, go to livingwordwi.org and click on “giving,” then on “give now” and change the designation from “general offering” to “special offering.”

Walk set for Sept. 26

Brodhead High School senior Kaitlyn Welsh is turning to the local community to help children and families in Haiti.

As her senior project, Welsh is organizing the Walk for Family on Saturday, Sept. 26. The two-mile walk will begin at 9 a.m. at the start of the Sugar River Trail in Brodhead.

Community members also may opt to participate by taking their own walking route and collecting donations for the cause, Welsh said in a news release.

The walk will raise money for One Gift, One Child, a ministry of former Brodhead residents Natalie and Pierre Charlotin. Natalie Charlotin is a Brodhead graduate.

“One Gift, One Child serves to prevent orphans and reunite families in the impoverished country of Haiti,” the news release said. “As a ministry, it provides orphaned children, or those put in orphanages by their families, safety from abuse, poverty, rejection, slavery, trafficking and hatred.

“Their end goal is to provide every child a safe environment and eventual reunion with their family. If they do not have a family, they are placed into a foster home that allows them a safe, loving environment to grow up in.”

To receive a Walk for Family sponsor sheet or get more information, send an email to Welsh at welshkai@ brodhead.k12.wi.us. Sponsor sheets and monetary donations will be collected on or before Sept. 26 and presented to the Charlotins for One Gift, One Child.

“Old-Fashioned Family Festival” Starting at 11 a.m. with Patriotic Parade

Brodhead Chamber of Commerce President Michael Lowery said the event was designed to bring the Brodhead community together in a fun and family-friendly way after so much time apart.

“We are playing many old-fashioned camp games with the kids, like we used to play as children,” Lowery said. “Family Fest will have the feel of the old-fashioned ice cream social, complete with ice cream from the Green County Ag Chest trailer.

“Family Fest is created for us to relive our memories from our childhood and create memories for our kids while we celebrate with our friends and neighbors.”

Lowery added that June 26 is the perfect time to celebrate the new festival because it ties in with the town’s annual Fourth of July celebration. The festival will have a patriotic theme in order to “celebrate America’s birthday and recognize those who make our freedom possible,” Lowery said.

Sponsorship from area businesses, including Kubly’s Automotive, KC Lawn Care, Kobussen Buses, Bridges Bar and Grill and Senz Insurance, will help make the fun possible, he said.

Cove’s Electric also played a vital part in preparing for Family Fest.

According to a post on the Brodhead Chamber of Commerce’s Facebook page, the company worked with the chamber and the city’s water and light, public works and park and recreation departments to install a new electrical system in Putnam Park that will help to power the live music, DJ and bounce house. The upgrade also provides more electrical services for those using the park pavilion.

Protect turtles on the move this nesting season With turtle nesting season soon underway, state conservation biologists and highway officials are joining forces to encourage Wisconsinites to hatch a brighter future for slow-moving, slow-growing turtles by taking a few simple steps.

Most of Wisconsin’s 11 turtle species breed in late May through June and often cross roads to lay their eggs in nests on higher ground.

Turtles getting run over by cars is a leading cause of the decline in turtle numbers in Wisconsin. The predation of turtle nests by raccoons, skunks and coyotes is another major problem.

Because some species – such as wood turtles and Blanding’s turtles – take 12 to 20 years to reach reproductive maturity, the death of even one female turtle a year can take a big toll.

To protect turtle populations, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation are asking people to protect turtles on the move.

The DNR suggest motorists, and residents alike, follow protective actions such as driving with caution near wetlands and rivers as well as slowing down and staying alert to reduce distractions.

Additional actions include reporting roadways

where turtles are crossing, or appear dead, according to the DNR. Fill out the report form by visiting wiatri.net/inventory/ witurtles.

Another suggestion consists of building a nest cage to protect turtle eggs and later, hatchlings, if turtles are nesting on your property.

Crossing reports bring benefits for turtles

Since the DNR began seeking information about turtle sightings and turtle crossings in 2012, people have provided more than 7,500 reports, with roughly half of those identifying turtle crossings. Such reports have substantially increased awareness and education boosting turtle conservation in the state.

The information is entered into the Natural Heritage Inventory, a database of rare species locations and population information.

The database is consulted by DNR staff reviewing plans for public and private roadway and other developments, and by private consultants as well. DNR staff recommend ways to avoid impacting rare turtle species, and local advocates have also used the information to push for turtle conservation measures on roadways.

The state Department

of Transportation routinely works with the DNR and other agencies to identify sensitive wildlife issues near project sites and, when feasible, create solutions through staging and scheduling. In some cases, unique infrastructure solutions are developed to help limit the amount of wildlife on the road entirely – creating safety benefits both for the species and the passing motorists.

For example, a highway project unfolding this summer incorporates a culvert and fencing to help keep turtles from traffic by leading them under the new roadway. A similar project in central Wisconsin in recent years has shown positive ecological benefits.

In another example of how turtles are benefitting from the increased public awareness of turtle crossings and turtle conservation, in 2020 Girl Scout Ella Kreuziger contacted the DNR about a highway in Waukesha County where many turtles were crossing.

She raised money to pay for stenciling a turtle crossing sign to alert motorists.

The Waukesha County highway department did the work last fall and Kreuziger received her Silver Award in scouting for helping turtles cross to safety.

Pitching in at the prairie

PHOTOS COURTESY PARKVIEW SCHOOL DISTRICT Brodhead Independent-Register

The Parkview School District held its first community event at The Sunny Peace Prairie on June 5. The 75-acre conservation plot was donated to the district, with plans to use it as an outdoor laboratory for science, agriculture, art and physical education, according to a district news release. The area also will be available for non-motorized recreation activities, including trail hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The acreage includes 10 acres of woods, with the rest being cropland, including 42 acres that have been planted to a prairie cover. At the June 5 event, attendees enjoyed a scenic walk to a high point on the prairie where miles of countryside are visible. Volunteers then got to work removing thistle from the prairie grass.

The next community event is set for 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 26. The prairie is located at 2604 S. Coon Island Road, Orfordville. Go online to Parkview.k12.wi.us for more information.
