WisDOT begins issuing new license plates MADISON — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is now issuing a new Endangered Resources license plate that features a photo rendition of an American Bald Eagle. The eagle plate is the third in the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Endangered Resources series.

“This Endangered Resources

series of license plates is popular, having issued more than 23,000 plates since the wolf license plate was released 20 years ago (in 1995),” explained Shaun Peterson, DMV Special Plates Unit supervisor. “Preorders of this eagle plate have been strong.”

The plates can be ordered online at wisconsindot.gov, keyword search Endangered Resources license plate; or

view here: http://wisconsindot. gov/Pages/dmv/vehicles/titleplates/endanger.aspx.

The eagle design highlights the eagle’s recovery in Wisconsin. The eagle plate replaces the limited-edition badger plate that was added in 2010 and ended August 17. A total of 3,490 badger plates were issued.

When you purchase a special Endangered Resources license plate the fee includes an annu-

al $25 donation to the DNR’s Endangered Resources Fund.

The Fund supports the work of the DNR’s Natural Heritage Conservation Program to identify, protect and manage native plants, animals and Wisconsin’s natural communities from the common to the critically endangered. The annual donation supports work to: • Enhance the quality of life in Wisconsin by bringing back

endangered and threatened species.

• Prevent rare species from becoming endangered.

• Preserve and manage the best examples of native ecosystems in our state natural areas for public use, education and research.

• Promote knowledge and stewardship of our state’s natural heritage for future generations.

Working toward a long-term transportation solution

By Janice Ringhand State Senator

Now that the people of the United States have rejected the failed candidacy of Governor Walker, we have an opportunity to shift focus and fix the problems facing Wisconsin.

Prior to his 70 day foray into the presidential race, Governor Walker crafted a hastily prepared state budget that was more of Presidential campaign document than one meant to get Wisconsin back on track.

Instead of focusing on issues to help raise his profile amongst Republican primary voters, it is now time to bring our tax-dollars home and accept the $360 million in funding for BadgerCare and use those savings to restore the $250 million cut to the UW System and provide additional funding for our public education system. While Republicans have consistently and repeatedly declined to accept the money to expand BadgerCare, we should focus on an area that has had bi-

partisan agreement and support for decades, our transportation budget.

I call on Governor Walker to bring the legislature into special session in order to deal with the transportation funding crisis. What ultimately passed was $500 million in borrowing with an additional $350 million in bonding that can be released by the Joint Committee on Finance upon the request of the Department of Transportation (DOT), an overall cut of $450 million.

As reported by Forward Janesville, “the first $200 million of this bonding was to be released this year upon WisDOT’s request to the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Finance. That request has still not been made, resulting in the disheartening news about the I-39/90 project. We thought that the legislature had a deal in place to release this funding, and were hoping that some of these funds could be applied to the I-39/90 project. But it is our

understanding that some members of the Wisconsin Senate have discouraged WisDOT from requesting this additional funding.”

If Republican Senators block the release of the funds, the resulting cut to the transportation program would be $700 million.

The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau, based on input from the Department of Transportation (DOT), stated that a $300 million cut over the biennium to DOT’s Major Highway Development Program would delay highway projects throughout the state. For example, the USH 10/441(Outagamie, Calumet and Winnebago Counties), STH 15 (Outagamie County), USH18/151 (Dane County) and I-39/90 (Rock and Dane Counties) projects would be delayed by two years. The Republicans went even further and slashed the major highway program by an additional $50 million over the biennium. Who knows how long

Potential for deer crashes will be high again this fall MADISON — Even when hunters have a difficult time finding deer in the woods, the elusive creatures may still be prevalent on Wisconsin roads.

October and November are the mating season for deer, and they soon will increase their activity particularly at dusk and dawn while moving back and forth between their bedding and feeding areas. As they roam, deer may dart unexpectedly onto roads and into the path of vehicles.

Last year, Wisconsin law enforcement agencies report-

Hometown Drug Scripts SHINGLES VACCINE

Shingles is a painful skin rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Anyone who has had chickenpox can develop shingles. The virus stays dormant in the nerve cells of the body and can reappear years later causing shingles. The CDC recommends the shingles vaccine for patients 60 and older. Studies show the vaccine may reduce the risk of shingles by 51%. It is not recommended for people who have a severe allergic reaction to gelatin, the antibiotic neomycin, or any other component of the shingles vaccine. Also, people with weakened immune systems should refrain, as well as pregnant women.

ed a total of 18,312 deer vs. motor vehicle crashes, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). Dane County had the most motor vehicle vs. deer crashes reported in 2014 with 863. Shawano County had the second most with 725 followed

by Waukesha County with 700.

In Shawano and Green Lake counties, more than half of all reported crashes in 2014 involved deer. Deer are the third most commonly struck objects in Wisconsin traffic crashes (behind other vehicles and fixed objects).

“To avoid hitting deer with your vehicle, you should slow down whenever you see them nearby. If you see one deer, there are probably more in the area,” says David Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. “If you can’t avoid a deer in the road, it’s safer to hit the brakes and hit the deer than to swerve suddenly and try to miss it. If you swerve, you risk losing control of your vehicle. You may end up hitting another car or a stationary object like a tree.”

Motorcyclists must be especially careful because deer crashes can be fatal. Motorcycles were involved in eight of the 10 fatal deer vs. motor vehicle crashes in Wisconsin last year.

“The one exception to the ‘don’t swerve’ recommendation applies to motorcyclists,” Pabst says. “Motorcyclists should slow down, brake firmly and then swerve if necessary to

these and other projects would be delayed if the Republican controlled Finance Committee refuses to release the $350 million it holds in reserves.

The I-39/90 project has long been a priority for our area.

The reconstruction and expansion of this 45-mile stretch of I-39/90 between Madison and the Illinois state line will make needed safety improvements, aid state tourism and help create more economic development along the corridor, one of the busiest stretches of highway in the state. According to DOT traffic counts about 70,000 vehicles a day use the corridor.

Nearly 35 percent of the traffic count come from heavy trucks.

This project has been talked about for a long time. In 2001, the state funded a study of the project but other projects have been prioritized ahead of it. As a result Forward Janesville, a 500 member economic development group, formed the I-39/90 Now Coalition in 2010 to help educate people on the

avoid hitting the deer. If they must swerve, motorcyclists should try to stay within their driving lane to avoid hitting other vehicles or objects.”

WisDOT and the Wisconsin State Patrol offer the following advice to prevent deer crashes: • Be on the lookout for deer, eliminate distractions while driving, and slow down, especially in early morning and evening hours, which are the most active times for deer.

• Always buckle up. There are fewer and less severe injuries in vehicle vs. deer crashes when drivers and passengers wear seat belts.

• If you see a deer by the side of the road, slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten it away.

• When you see one deer, look for another one. Deer seldom run alone.

• If you see a deer looming in your headlights, don’t expect it to move away. Headlights can confuse a deer causing it to freeze.

• Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path.

• Don’t swerve suddenly because you may lose control of your vehicle.

• If you hit a deer, get your vehicle off the road if possible, and then call a law enforcement agency. Walking on a highway is dangerous, so stay in your vehicle if you can.

• Don’t try to move the animal if it is still alive. The injured deer could hurt you.

He won’t buy a used car from some politicians Dear editor: Fellow citizens of Wisconsin of the U.S.A. What have we done? We have allowed a group of self-centered greedy politicians to dictate legislation which is a pay-back for the wealthy individuals of corporations who bankroll their campaigns as they ran for office. These politicians seem to have no problem lying or cheating in order to get into office or to hold their seats once elected. When are we going to understand that they do not hold our best interests first and foremost while making their legislative decisions? We should be very ashamed for allowing our government to get so out of hand.

RED FEATUKER! SPEA

BRODHEAD DENTAL CLINIC

Those of us who are willing to let big money people do our thinking for us by electing candidates of their choice and those of us who refuse to exercise our right and obligation to vote are guilty.

The majority of proposed legislation lately will only help the greedy at the expense of the needy. They say that they are only trying to make government run more smoothly and efficiently. Please read between the lines and you will be able to see through these lies.

Myself, I would even hesitate to so much as buy a used car from these people. I am ashamed that I have been a part of allowing this to happen and so should you. Let us all work together and maybe we can undo what we have created.

importance of the project.

Business leaders realize the importance of this project not only for the local economy but the entire state as well. The Center for Freight & Infrastructure Research at UWMadison that found the roadway is responsible for moving $650 million to $800 million worth of commerce each day.

The roadway has deteriorating pavement, traffic congestion creates frequent backups, and it has accident rates higher than the statewide average for similar roads. Delaying this project is jeopardizing safety and economic development.

Transportation has never been a partisan issue and shouldn’t be one now. Roads are crumbling and projects are being delayed in areas represented

by Democrats and Republicans alike. This is an issue we should be able to work together on and solve. People and businesses in every part of the state deserve a safe and efficient transportation system.

Green County has a bird test positive for West Nile MONROE — The Green County Health Department reports a dead crow found in Green County on Sept. 7 has tested positive for West Nile virus. This is the first bird that tested positive for West Nile virus in Green County since surveillance for the mosquito-transmitted virus began May 1.

“The positive bird means that residents of Green County need to be vigilant in their personal protective measures to prevent mosquito bites,” RoAnn Warden, Public Health Director said. “With the recent temperature changes and rainfall we are still seeing mosquito activity.”

Remember to protect yourself and family from mosquitos into the fall season.”

West Nile virus is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes acquire the virus by feeding on infected birds.

“Green County residents should be aware of West Nile

virus and take some simple steps to protect themselves against mosquito bites,” RoAnn Warden said. “The West Nile virus seems to be here to stay, so the best way to avoid the disease is to reduce exposure to and eliminate breeding grounds for mosquitoes.”

The Green County Health Department recommends the following: • Limit time spent outside at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active.

• Apply insect repellent to clothing as well as exposed skin since mosquitoes may bite through clothing.

• Make sure window and door screens are in good repair to prevent mosquito entry.

• Properly dispose of items that hold water, such as tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots, or discarded tires.

• Clean roof gutters and downspouts for proper drainage.

• Turn over wheelbarrows, wading pools, boats, and canoes

Monroe Clinic hosts event for voicing health decisions Expert panel to discuss end-of-life planning today

MONROE — Today, Wednesday, Sept. 30, Monroe Clinic will host a panel of experts for discussing end-of-life planning at Monroe Clinic Founder’s Hall, 515 22nd Avenue, Monroe, Wis. Come, and learn the tools and resources available for communicating your health care wishes.

These tools will help guide your

loved ones on your healthcare decisions, if you are unable to do so yourself.

Table displays start at 5 p.m.

Speakers will discuss Living Wills, Advance Directives (Healthcare Power of Attorney), do-not-resuscitate, Palliative Care and Hospice from 5:30-6 p.m. The panel discussion will conclude the evening with a question and answer from the audience. Register early at monroeclinic.org or call 877-8651462. The event is free.

when not in use.

• Change the water in birdbaths and pet dishes at least every three days.

• Clean and chlorinate swimming pools, outdoor saunas, and hot tubs; drain water from pool covers.

• Trim tall grass, weeds, and vines since mosquitoes use these areas to rest during hot daylight hours.

• Landscape to prevent water from pooling in low-lying areas.

The majority of people (80 percent who are infected with West Nile virus) do not get sick.

Those who do become ill usually experience mild symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle ache, rash, and fatigue. Less than 1 percent of people infected with the virus get seriously ill with symptoms that include high fever, muscle weakness, stiff neck, disorientation, mental confusion, tremors, confusion, paralysis, and coma. Older adults and those with compromised immune systems are at greater risk of developing central nervous system illness that can be fatal.

The Department of Health Services has monitored the spread of West Nile virus since 2001 among wild birds, horses, mosquitoes, and people. During 2002, the state documented its first human infections and 52 cases were reported that year.

During 2014, 6 cases of West Nile virus infection were reported among Wisconsin residents.

West Nile virus infections in humans have been reported from June through October; however, most reported becoming ill with West Nile virus in August and September.

The Wisconsin Division of Public Health will continue surveillance for West Nile virus until the end of the mosquito season. To report a sick or dead crow, blue jay, or raven, please call the Dead Bird Reporting

Marking a Peace Corps anniversary with service

By Tony Ends

What was it like back in Senegal – 40 years after your first volunteer service there?

I woke up the first day, wondering if I was in West Africa or Wisconsin. A rooster crowed.

Sheep bleated. Goats cried to be fed or milked. Even my dear wife Dela was beside me.

Was I at Scotch Hill Farm in Brodhead, Wis., or the Hotel Sogui in Senegal’s Matam region?

A scorching reflection of early sun hit my eyes. I followed its reflection to towers of a mosque a block away. Yes, I was 61 years old. Yes, I was back where my journey in adult life started at 20, just out of college. I was in Africa; I was in Senegal.

Many things about where I was the first two weeks in September 2015 as a Farmer to Farmer volunteer were the same as I first saw as a Peace Corps volunteer in September 1975. People here are still kind.

People here are still generous.

People here still thirst to learn practices that will improve their quality of life, help them cope with hardships of life on the edge of a desert as big as the United States.

I didn’t realize when I went to Senegal the first time that I’d been preparing for years in college to teach English as a second language in a rural public school. I didn’t realize after 20 years of working very hard with my family to establish a self-sufficient farm in Wisconsin, that I was preparing to go back to teach in Africa again.

It was a shock to see the population had more than doubled.

It was a shock to see so many more young people in need.

Is West African agriculture the same as you remember it from the 1970s?

I understand farming on the edge of the Sarah Desert better today than I did as a young

man from the central United States. I understand food production and hunger better than I did as a young man on my first teaching venture abroad.

Picture a little boy with a flock of sheep, or a herd of cattle or goats. They are moving across an arid plane of scrub trees. Nowhere in sight, in any direction, is there a structure or dwelling of any kind. The ground is mostly clay and sand.

The green on the ground is spare, only around occasional muddy pools, even in this rainy season. It must be 100 degrees.

The heat is relentless.

Where is that boy going?

How is he making it out here alone? How can those animals survive?

And this isn’t one child, really. This isn’t one strange or unusual scene. It’s not, something at all abnormal. The picture is repeated over and over on any trip I made from where I was based with my wife Dela in eastern Senegal earlier this month.

Livestock agriculture is surviving here in Senegal today.

It’s surviving despite the debilitating impact of more than 100 years of colonial rule. Those European powers forced cash production of single crops on this region along the Senegal River. They cut down a native forest. They upset the pastoral balance. And more and more, as long as they were here, they leached out, wore out the thin soils with chemical fertilizers.

Even more than 50 years now since nations in Africa like Senegal won independence, they can’t easily undo what was done to their land. Just 2 successive years of planting peanuts robbed Senegal’s soil of almost one third its organic matter.

Organic matter is what feeds soil life. Soil life returns the nutrients that crops take from the soil. Cash cropping pea-

Dela Ends teaching plant families with seeds.

nuts, cotton, corn – have been bankrupting soil in Senegal for more than 100 years.

Yet a herding Toucoleur culture in eastern Senegal – thousands years older than European descendants in the United States keeps surviving miraculously, tenaciously. And desire

to grow vegetables, rice, food crops – without chemicals, by natural practices – is profound.

How did the volunteer work with Dela – teaching organic vegetable crop production and solar food drying – succeed during your recent trip?

We visited some amazing

cooperative gardens of perhaps 5 acres or more in size, being tended and dike irrigated along the Senegal River. We visited some very successful compost making and beautiful personal village gardens, too.

• PEACE CORPS

Continued from page 12

Our particular group had about 35 people. They formed a core of leadership for probably 135 more Senegalese. They were mostly women farmers.

They work very hard. Conditions of the soil, the climate, the weather are very difficult. We found this group very receptive to what we were teaching. They seemed willing and happy to learn.

I can see a change along the river and roads we travel here.

Young men who’d been risking their lives to find work in Europe in the 1970s seem to be working the land again. For decades, they’ve been supporting Senegalese families off migrant wages from distant shores. More of them seem to be staying home. At least in Senegal, the government is setting national goals to help their domestic agriculture become self-sufficient.

Dela and I are in a succession of American volunteers.

We’ve all been going to Senegal (and other African nations) two weeks at a time. As Farmer to Farmer volunteers, we are helping traditionally herd-

ing and nomadic people learn diverse growing practices.

We all teach skills and practices they’ve requested of our organization – the National Cooperative Business Association’s international counterpart called CLUSA. This is one of the oldest cooperative business groups in the United States, and it’s been having an impact around the world with USAID and other agencies for more than 60 years.

So you feel good about your volunteer trip, that it was worthwhile?

That’s a good question. My first return home to the Midwestern United States nearly 40 years ago, made me realize how small had been my contribution to Africa and the world.

Problems of hunger – the very unequal distribution of wealth around the world – hit me hard when I came back to a land of plenty.

Those global problems weren’t big, incomprehensible numbers anymore. After my first 2 years of service, the problems had become personal relationships with African chil-

PH TOS

dren and their families. Before my service, my understanding of world hunger was factual, mental. Tens of thousands of children starving to death every day. World population doubling every 50 years. One-fourth of the Earth’s 7 billion people suffering from hunger and malnourishment.

Teaching school to 250 teens who weren’t much younger than me at the time put faces, laughter, voices, hopes, spirit – to the numbers, to the problems. I didn’t simply know about their problems; I felt their problems in my heart.

A very good book that helped me through those feelings in the 1970s, deepened my understanding and kept me going, has been completely updated.

It answers a lot of the questions politicians back in the United States are throwing around on the campaign trail. It answers them with clear facts and tremendous understanding that considers the human side of hunger, as well as its diplomatic, economic, international implications for all nations.

The book is called “Ten

Myths about World Hunger.”

Francis Moore Lappe is still a principle author. It’s published

by Food First.

Any time I can share food, share the truth – Farmer to Farmer – with good-hearted people in need, it’s worthwhile.

If it helps people who are hungry get back control of their lives economically, sustainably, permanently – it’s worth it.

This was my fourth Farmer to Farmer trip, my wife Dela’s third two-week trip. Each time we’ve shared what we know – along with tools, seeds, practical methods and techniques from our own work and experience, we’ve come away feeling

a great sense of accomplishment. The striking dignity of these people, who carry themselves with such grace in face of extreme physical hardship, seems to rub off on us. It lifts our heads. It puts hope in our hearts.

Tony Ends returned from two years’ Peace Corps service in 1977. He earned a master’s in journalism at Marquette University and worked for 14 years in newspapers. He traVnsitioned into farming full time over the past 21 years and still operates Scotch Hill Farm with his wife and family two miles north of Brodhead.

amending § 480-51C(2) of the Zoning Code of Ordinances of the City of Brodhead to allow off-street parking of heavy vehicles on residential driveways, provided a permit is issued and criteria are met for the issuance of such permit; and WHEREAS, after the Public Safety Committee’s consideration of such amendments, a duly noticed public hearing was held by the Plan Commission regarding amending § 480-51C(2) of the Zoning Code of Ordinances concerning off-street parking restrictions in residential areas, allowing off-street parking of heavy vehicles on residential driveways, provided a permit is issued and criteria are met for the issuance of such permit; and WHEREAS, after said public hearing, the Plan Commission having recommended to the Common Council to adopt the amendment to the Zoning Code; and WHEREAS, the Common Council having determined that offstreet parking of heavy vehicles on residential lots and driveways adversely affects the aesthetics of the surrounding residential district and the public good would be promoted if limitations, criteria, and permitting were imposed for the parking of heavy vehicles on residential driveways; NOW, THEREFORE, the Common Council of the City of Brodhead do hereby ordain as follows: SECTION I: § 480-51C(2) of the Code of Ordinances is hereby repealed and recreated to read as follows: (a) Parking on Residential Lots.

No motor vehicle or trailer with an empty weight in excess of twelve thousand (12,000) pounds, or over eighteen (18) feet in length, or having a height of more than eight (8) feet from the roadway, including semi tractors or trailers, shall be parked or stored on a residential lot, except when loading, unloading or rendering a service. (b) Exception. Notwithstanding subsection (a), the Police Department may issue a semi tractor, not trailer, a special heavy traffic parking permit for the period of October 1 through April 1 for a fee in the amount of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per period payable at the time of issuance or renewal thereof, which will allow said vehicle to be parked on a residential driveway, provided the following criteria are met: (1) The neighbors or adjacent properties within seventy feet (70’) of the boundaries of the subject property do not object to the issuance of the special heavy truck parking permit. If fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the neighboring or adjacent properties do not object to the issuance of the special heavy traffic parking permit within fifteen (15) calendar days of their notification for requests for objections or allowance of the special heavy traffic parking permit, then the Police Department shall issue the permit, provided all criteria and provisions are met in this subsection (b). If, however, fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the neighbors or adjacent properties do object, in writing, to the issuance of the special heavy traffic parking permit within fifteen (15) calendar days of their notification for requests for objections or allowance of the special heavy traffic parking permit, then the Police Department shall deny the permit request; (2) The Public Works Department does not object to the issuance of the special heavy traffic parking permit; (3) The City utilities do not object to the issuance of the special heavy traffic parking permit; (4) The Police Department does not object to the issuance of the special heavy traffic parking permit; and (5) The semi tractor must be parked on a driveway on a residential lot which is either paved or graveled, and if the semi tractor is driven off a designated heavy traffic route to reach the location of the residential driveway, the shortest route must be taken to the location of the driveway. (c) Enforcement. Violations of

permit provisions of subsection (b) shall be investigated by the Police Department. In addition to the penalties and remedies available as set forth in §§ 1-4 and 480-99 of the Ordinances, violations of permit provisions may result in suspension or revocation of permit. Suspension or revocation of a permit is not grounds for the refund of the permit fee. If any utilities are damaged by the permit holder due to the semi tractor parking on his or her driveway, it is the responsibility of the permit holder for payment of all costs associated with fixing the damage to the utilities. (d) Renewal. Complaints made by neighbors in regard to previously issued permits shall be considered upon renewal of said permit. (e) Applicability. Subsections (a) through (d) do not apply to vans, pickup trucks, and sport utility vehicles, even if such van, pickup truck, or sport utility vehicle is licensed as a truck. Such vehicles may be parked on a residential lot.

This section does not apply to recreational vehicles, trailers, travel trailers, fifth wheel travel trailers, motor homes, and boats otherwise parked in accordance with this Section.

Say you saw it in The Independent Register.

State graduates have steady ACT results MADISON — Wisconsin’s 2015 graduates had steady overall results on the ACT with an average composite score of 22.2, which tied with Iowa for second place behind Minnesota (22.7) among states where 50 percent or more of students take the assessment.

Approximately 73 percent of the state’s 2015 public and private school graduates (46,738 students) took the ACT during high school. Their average composite score was the same as in 2014. Nationally, 59 percent of graduates, 1.9 million students, took the ACT. Their average composite score was 21.0, also the same as last year.

With virtually all of Wisconsin’s public school 11th-graders having taken the ACT this past spring as part of statewide assessments, ACT participation will rise dramatically next year and scores are expected to decline. Those results for last year’s 11th-graders will be reported later in fall.

“Let’s celebrate the class of 2015,” said State Superintendent Tony Evers. “These college-bound students did a fine job on the ACT assessment, demonstrating their overall preparedness for the next steps in their education and careers.

By setting a new course and administering the ACT to all

high school juniors, we’re helping way more students consider further education after high school.”

Tying student test results to postsecondary outcomes, ACT has established college-readiness benchmark scores. Those scores for each subject area, such as 18 for English and 22 for mathematics, indicate a 75 percent chance of a student earning a “C” or better on credit-bearing coursework, reducing the likelihood that the student will need remedial coursework in college.

Wisconsin had 74 percent of ACT-taking students who earned the English benchmark score compared to 64 percent nationally. There was a 10-point advantage on the mathematics benchmark as well, 52 percent in Wisconsin, 42 percent nationally. The percentage of students earning the reading benchmark (22) went up two percentage points to 53 percent compared to 46 percent nationally. For science, which is benchmarked to college-level biology, 49 percent of state students earned a score of 23 compared to 38 percent who met that benchmark nationally.

Fifty-one percent of Wisconsin 2015 high school graduates met three or more benchmarks; 35 percent met all four

benchmarks, up one point from last year. Nationally, 40 percent of students met three or more benchmarks; 28 percent met all four benchmarks. ACT research has shown those students meeting three or four ACT college readiness benchmarks are likely to be successful in postsecondary education.

Wisconsin’s ACT-taking population was comprised of 10,216 students who identified themselves as being from a traditionally underrepresented racial or ethnic group. These students represent 21.9 percent of ACT-takers. In 2005, just 8.3 percent of ACT-test takers were students of color. Black graduates had a composite score of 16.3, up one-tenth of a point from last year. For Hispanic students, the average composite score was 19.4, up twotenths of a point. Composite scores for American Indian students increased three-tenths of a point to 19.8. That test-taking population is very small (235 students), which means scores can fluctuate widely. Scores for other student groups largely held steady. Achievement gaps between students of color and their white peers persist.

“While overall student achievement on the ACT is quite strong, we have work to do to close achievement gaps

and assure college and career readiness for all students,” Evers said. “My ‘Promoting Excellence for All’ initiative is providing classroom-tested resources that have demonstrated results in closing gaps.

We see some progress, but need to accelerate the pace of achievement for all students.”

ACT has long had a recommended “core curriculum” of four years of English and three years each of mathematics, science, and social studies. Wisconsin graduates for 2016-17 will be required to take three credits of mathematics and science to graduate, though most already meet this expectation.

Statewide 72 percent of students reported a core curriculum, with course-taking patterns varying among racial and ethnic groups. In Wisconsin, students who report they will take the recommended core curriculum have ACT scores that average 2.2 points higher than students who report they will take fewer “core” classes by the time they graduate.

“Our students, their families, and teachers will rise to the higher expectations we set,” Evers said. “The research is clear, and business and industry tell us, that college-ready is career-ready. That is the goal for all of our graduates.”

PET TALK: KIDNEY DISEASE IN DOGS AND CATS Have you ever watched your pet eat their meal and thought, “Wow, did they even taste it?”

Though some pets require more energy than others, it is important to know your pet’s normal eating and drinking habits so you are more likely to detect any dietary abnormalities. Being familiar with your pet’s standard schedule of urination and defecation is also important, as any continuous irregular activity could be a sign of an illness.

One of the most common ailments in dogs and cats is kidney (renal) disease, a broad term that applies to any disease process that leaves the kidneys unable to effectively filter toxins out of the blood and maintain water balance in the body. In acute kidney disease, signs can occur quickly and can be very severe, while chronic renal issues include non-specific signs and the disease develops slowly.

Dr. Johanna Heseltine, Clinical Assistant Professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, explains how being familiar with your pet’s normal diet can come in handy. “In the early stages of kidney disease there are often no clinical signs. The earliest clinical signs of kidney disease are non-specific and often include increased thirst and urina-

tion, decreased appetite, and decreased energy levels,” she said. “As the kidneys begin to fail and toxins build up in the blood stream, other signs can develop, such as vomiting and loss of appetite.”

So what exactly causes kidney disease? According to Heseltine, there are many sources of renal issues.

“Causes of acute (sudden onset) kidney injury include toxins (like lilies in cats and grapes in dogs), certain infections (such as bacterial urinary tract infections that spread to the kidneys or leptospirosis), and underlying health problems (like high blood calcium levels or shock),” Heseltine said. “In many patients with chronic (long-standing) kidney disease the underlying cause cannot be determined.”

Although older pets are especially affected by kidney disease, dogs and cats at any age are susceptible to renal issues. Blood and urine tests are used by veterinarians to determine if there is a kidney infection present and what the primary cause might be.

“When possible, we treat the underlying cause,” explained Heseltine. “For example, if there is a kidney infection, an appropriate antibiotic is administered. It is important that patients with kidney disease stay well hydrated, so

some patients require IV fluids. If needed, we give medications to control nausea and vomiting,” she continued.

“Some patients with chronic kidney disease benefit from being fed a prescription diet designed for pets with kidney disease. Other therapies are tailored to the individual patient’s needs.”

So without treatment for kidney disease, can a dog or cat suffer from complete kidney failure? According to Heseltine, the answer is yes.

Kidney failure can occur in both acute and chronic kidney disease, depending on the severity of the case. Heseltine emphasizes the importance of the kidneys in the body and explains that a lack of filtration can lead to deadly consequences. “The kidneys have many important roles, including filtering toxins from the body. When the kidneys cannot filter adequately, the toxins build up in the blood stream and make the pet sick,” she said. “We assess this by measuring urea and creatinine concentrations in their blood. These increased lab values do not occur until approximately 75% of kidney function has been lost.

Patient outcome depends on how high the lab values are, how sick the pet is, whether the underlying kidney dis-

ease can be treated, and how quickly the kidney damage is progressing,” she continued.

“Some patients with chronic kidney disease live for many years, while for other patients decisions about quality of life have to be made.”

Though kidney disease is fairly common in dogs and cats, there are ways pet owners can help prevent renal issues. Since many acute kidney disease cases are caused by toxic substances, be sure to keep poisons and pesticides away from your furry friends, as well as any specific foods or plants that can cause harm.

Feeding a balanced diet is always important, but consider looking into specialized pet food that aids in preventing kidney disease. Lastly, remember to take note of your pet’s normal behavior so you are more likely to notice even the slightest change in diet, urination or defecation.

Make an appointment with your local veterinarian if you notice a change in behavior that lasts several days.

Although pets of all ages are susceptible to kidney disease, older pets are at an even higher risk. By monitoring your pet’s behavior and attending regular veterinary check-ups, you can help prevent kidney disease and preserve your pet’s quality of life.

Paddlers get to know their watershed

Paddlers get to know their watershed on a Sunday afternoon paddle.

Bridge Park.

The sunshine and crisp mixture of coolness and warmth created ideal paddling conditions. A gentle breeze created ripples of water that glittered and sparkled in the sun. Along the way, we saw people enjoying the Race in their own way; fishing from shore, hiking or biking along the Pearl Island pathway.

Overhead, biplanes dipped and turned, as they gave rides from the Brodhead Airport.

Though the route was short—only about four miles—we were treated to varied scenery and variety of water conditions. Being a man-made canal, the Race has very little current. Turtles, preferring the still waters, were out in abundance. We must have seen three dozen or more painted turtles. On one log alone, ten sat soaking up the rays. Typically quite shy, the turtles seemed to be enjoying the sunshine so much that they were reluctant to slip off the log and disappear as we paddled past.

After arriving in Brodhead, at the location of the old electric generating plant, we made a short portage around the overflow and entered a small, twisting stream, shaded by overhanging trees. Some noticed a sudden absence of turtles in this reach of the Race. This section, called the

“Tail Race,” provided the most challenging paddling; several areas of deadfall almost obstructed the stream bed; other areas were so shallow, that one almost had to get out and walk the canoe. Along this reach we were able to observe the shells of freshwater mussels, none of them living unfortunately, exposed in the channel bottom in shallow water. Ultimately we managed to navigate the “Tail” without incident, and finally entered the Sugar River main channel.

Immediately, we noticed the increase in current speed in the river. Fewer turtles continued to be observed along the river banks. Instead, we were treated to sightings of blue heron, a young eagle, a bright red cardinal, and other birds. Sections of the river had small, summer cabin type dwellings along the bank.

Other areas had a natural, wild, look. Ecologists in the group, pointed out several overhanging Sycamore trees, remarking that these might well be among the northernmost Sycamores in this extension of their range up several southern Wisconsin river valleys.

BRODHEAD — Watersheds provide numerous and diverse services to humans, according to the EPA’s online Watershed Academy. These include the purification of air and water, detoxification and decomposition of wastes, regulation of climate, regeneration of soil fertility, and production and maintenance of biodiversity, from which key ingredients of our agricultural, pharmaceutical, and industrial enterprises are derived.

A more nebulous benefit, one which is difficult to quantify, is the provision of aesthetic beauty and intellectual stimulation that lift the human spirit. Ways in which this occurs are as diverse as art, photography, beekeeping, gardening, canoeing and camping.

From the beginning, the Lower Sugar River Watershed Association (LSRWA) has celebrated and valued the aesthetic power of nature.

Besides the organization’s more serious pursuits, such as training and coordinating citizen scientists to monitor stream water quality and stream bank conditions, or educating the public about local environmental issues, LSRWA members and friends take the time to get out and truly enjoy the beauty we have right here in our own Watershed. We did just that on Sunday afternoon, September 13, as a group of ten enthusiastic canoers and kayakers gathered at the Headgate’s Park, just across from Pearl Island.

By 2 pm, we had shuttled vehicles to the end point, the Clarence Bridge Park, just off Highway 81, introduced ourselves to each other, heard a brief history of “the Race,” and launched three canoes and five kayaks through the Headgates and into the Race.

Our plan was to paddle the man-made canal called “the Race” to Brodhead, portage the overflow (dam) into the “Tail Race,” the section of stream that connects to the Sugar River itself, and then follow the river to Clarence

Association, brought along enough trash bags for everyone. He reminded us that “river clean-up never ends!”

This bit of inspiration was a great reminder of how easy it is to incorporate a little clean-up effort, even into a recreational event.

Paddling under the shadow of the towering dolomite and sandstone bluffs above the western shoreline of the river was the cue that our destination was close at hand. These bluffs feature unique shaded habitats that continue to support relict populations of

native white pine and yellow birch that are more common in northern parts of Wisconsin. Early maps also suggest this area was an important encampment of Native Americans.

After paddling under the Highway 81 bridge, we arrived at Clarence Bridge Park, disembarked, and loaded canoes and kayaks onto vehicles. By 5 pm, we were headed towards home, our spirits renewed and refreshed through the simple pleasures of an afternoon of getting to know our Watershed.

Changes to credit reporting rules will benefit consumers BBB Lauds New Regulations

MILWAUKEE — The Better Business Bureau Serving Wisconsin says new regulations governing the three credit reporting companies should make it easier for consumers to fix inaccuracies in their credit reports.

Several new regulations stem from an investigation by 31 states dating back to 2012. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) settlement involves a $6 million penalty imposed upon Equifax Information Services LLC, Experian Information Solutions Inc., and TransUnion LLC., and they have agreed to make a number of changes to their business practices to make it easier and more effective when consumers try to get errors removed from their credit reports.

Highlights of the settlement include: *More protection for consumers who dispute credit reporting information: *The credit monitoring companies will put into place a faster mechanism to process consumers’ disputes, including identity theft, fraud, or mixed files, in which one individuals’ information is mixed with another’s. Each credit reporting agency must notify the other agencies if it finds that sort of file.

Some categories of debt may no longer be in credit reports: *The credit reporting agencies are generally prohibited from adding information about parking fines and tickets, and may not place medical debt on a credit report until 180 days after the account is reported to the credit reporting agency. This gives consumers time to attempt to resolve problems with their insurers. *The credit bureaus must

require debt collectors to provide proof of the money owed and details about the creditor before debts are added to a credit report.

Ease-off the marketing talk: *The credit reporting agencies can no longer market credit monitoring services to any consumer during a dispute phone call until the dispute portion of the call has ended. *They must tell consumers that purchasing a product is not a requirement for disputing information on their credits reports.

These measures address a vital issue cited in a 2013 study from the FTC, that revealed one in five Americans had found at least one error in a credit report. The regulator said in some cases, the errors resulted in consumers being “…overcharged for credit card debts, auto loans, insurance policies and other financial obligations.”

While some consumers reported difficulties getting the errors fixed, those who were successful saw an increase in their credit score – the numerical expression of credit worthiness used by lenders.

The settlement also requires higher standards for data furnishers, from whom the credit reporting agencies receive information to be added to consumers’ credit reports.

For free copies of your credit reports, visit www.annualcreditreport.com, a site established by the credit reporting companies and sanctioned by the federal government. If you find any errors, report them as quickly as possible. You also may call 877322-8228.

If you are still unable to resolve a dispute about credit report errors, you may file a complaint at bbb.org.
