Second degree reckless homicide charge filed
BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD A second degree reckless homicide charge has been filed against 31 year old Thomas G. Berning of Necedah. The charge was filed on January 31, 2013 and stems from the November 10, 2012 accident which took the life of Teri Golden of Mauston. An initial appearance has been scheduled for February 20 before Juneau County Judge John Roemer. According to the criminal complaint, on the morning of November 10 Juneau County Deputy Zachary Board was dispatched to a vehicle crash on 15th Ave, north of 47th St., in the Township of Lemonweir. Upon arrival Deputy Board observed a vehicle approximately 50 feet off the road in a soy bean field. The vehicle was resting on it's roof. The two occupants, which had been traveling in the vehicle, were thrown from it. The male occupant, Berning, was lying on the ground and was being treated by emergency responders. Berning stated he had been the driver. His left leg was injured and he stated his head hurt. The female occupant, Golden, was alive at the scene of the accident but due to her dire condition the deputy was unable to talk to her. Golden and Berning were transported to the hospital where Golden died as a result of her injuries from the crash. Wisconsin State troopers Michael Marquadt and Arden Asp arrived on the scene of the accident to perform a reconstruction by taking measurements and photographs. They determined scuff marks indicated that the vehicle had rotated counter clockwise and entered the west side of the ditch where the vehicle
overturned, striking numerous trees at the ditch line. The vehicle came to rest in an empty field. Based on the tire marks it is believed the vehicle was traveling at 90 mph at the time of the accident. The troopers also determined that neither of the occupants were wearing seatbelts.

TADDER, from page 1 In a supplemental report the Chief wrote: "On January 31, 2013 I, Police Chief James Small of the Altoona Police Department, was made aware of a developing situation in the City of Altoona where a male, Kevin Tadder, was believed to be at 1429 Devney Drive in the City of Altoona with his 2 year old son. It was reported to me that Kevin had taken the child from his custodial mother in Juneau County and had not reported his whereabouts for several months. An arrest warrant had been issued in Juneau County for Kevin for interference with child custody. Juneau County Sheriff and Mauston Police investigators had come to Altoona to attempt to locate the child." In total there are three reports issued by the Altoona police which detail a surveillance of the residence to an eventual vehicle takedown after a vehicle left the residence. Tadder, a female companion, and another individual was in the vehicle at the time. Tadder was arrested without incident. The female companion directed law enforcement to a residence where the child

Family reunited with two year old after five months of absence BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Last Friday afternoon it was obvious that the wait was taking a toll on Sara Jensen. According to the young mother it had been nearly five months since she had seen her almost three year old son Loggenn. (refer to the article in this issue on page 1 for information on why Loggenn was away for that time). She paced back and forth in the kitchen of the Mauston apartment she was staying at. Every few minutes she would open the door to the apartment and look down the stairway to see if the Juneau County Human Services worker was there with Loggenn. During the wait she reflected on the past few years of her life and decisions she had made, including being with Loggenn’s father, Kevin Tadder. The day before Tadder had been captured and held on multiple warrants, one of which
was for the interference of custody beyond visitation in keeping Loggenn from Sara since last August. Jensen spoke about the relationship she had with Tadder and the domestic violence she claimed penetrated it. She spoke about having been trapped in a cycle of self hate and now in need to attain resources in helping her build a better foundation for herself, Loggenn and her eldest daughter. "I know some people are talking. I know what some of the rumors are. Let them talk. I've made mistakes. There was a time when I was younger and I tore up this town like wildfire but that doesn't mean Loggenn deserved to be ripped from me. He didn't deserve this, and I didn't deserve this," she said. As she continued to pace the floor of the kitchen Jensen went on to say she felt Tadder had taken Loggenn out of a need for revenge at their relationship
ending and to continue to keep control over her. She also shared a frustration over the lack of concern she claimed she received from local law enforcement when she first reported Loggenn as missing. "This could have been over a long time ago if someone would have listened to me," she said. It was just about then footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs. Jensen bolted towards the door and opened it. Standing in the doorway was the Juneau County Human Services caseworker holding a sleeping Loggenn in her arms. Jensen reached out for her son saying, "Baby, it's Mama - Hello baby." Relatives and friends gathered in the small apartment kitchen to greet Loggenn who now was waking up. His first words were, "Hello." He reached out for his mother who grabbed him and covered his little face with kisses. Standing near

Albers drops lawsuit BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Once 50th Assembly representative and former Juneau County special prosecutor Sheryl Albers has dropped a federal civil rights lawsuit she filed. The suit was filed after in 2009 she was not hired for a non partisan clerk's position with the Joint Finance Committee. Albers had claimed that she was overlooked for the position by committee co-chair because she was a Republican. According to reports Albers dropped the federal lawsuit after a recent ruling by Judge Barbara Crabb of Madison. In a non related case Crabb ruled that a government employer was within their rights to consider a job applicant’s record of partisan activity in a hiring decision. The reports also state that in addition to withdrawing the federal lawsuit Albers also dropped discrimination complaints she had filed with state and federal agencies. Alber's is a 2004 graduate of the University of WisconsinMadison Law School. From 1987 to 1991 she was a policy analyst for the Assembly Republican Caucus.

February is American Heart Month One in three people in the United States is affected by heart disease, taking the form of chest pain, heart attacks, heart failure or stroke. Because of this, there are over 2,200 deaths every day that are caused by heart disease. The easiest way to prevent heart disease is by knowing the risk factors. By learning the risk factors, assessing them, and learning how to avoid or control them, you can take the first step toward having a healthy heart. Some risk factors can be controlled by you alone, but most cannot. It's important to understand what things may put you at risk, and then learn what you can do to overcome them. Common risk factors include: -Arrhythmia (irregular heart beat) -High blood pressure -Heart failure -Peripheral artery disease (PAD) -Obesity -Diabetes -High cholesterol -Tobacco use -Second-hand smoke exposure -Ethnicity (AfricanAmericans are most likely to develop a heart condition, followed by white caucasian, Hispanics, American-Indian/Alaska natives, and Asian & Pacific islanders) As with many other conditions, detecting heart disease in its beginning stages is best. However, diagnosing heart diseases early on can be very difficult. It is usually referred to as 'The Silent Killer' because there are often no signs or symptoms until an individual experiences a cardiac event. This is why becoming your own health advocate by monitor-
ing your risk factors and taking preventative measures is so important. Having a healthy lifestyle and diet are the two best weapons you have in the fight against heart disease. By knowing your risk factors and by adopting a healthy lifestyle, you can work to reverse the risk factors you have control over. Prevention techniques: -Stay educated about health. -Lose any excess weight. -Exercise at least one hour, five to seven days a week. -Avoid smoking and second-hand smoke exposure. -Consume a heart-healthy diet. -Monitor your calorie intake. -Have regular blood pressure screenings performed. -Take your own self interest, and work on a treatment plan with your healthcare provider; medications should only come secondarily. Mile Bluff Medical Center is prepared to help you further prevent heart disease. The healthcare team at Mile
Bluff can help you achieve a heart-healthy lifestyle. Taking control of your health is the best thing you can do to prevent heart dis-

Coats donated to Royall BY EILEEN NALE Just think what a person can do with a little determination. Maybe with this determination a goal may be accomplished to help mankind. There is a aluminum can fenced in storage area near
the carwash in Elroy that says on the outside, “Cans for Kids” and this project has worked for the good of the kids in a big way. Helen Milne took the money from the aluminum cans that had been dropped off there and turned it into
over $285 worth of coats, boots and shoes for the Royall Grade School. They were purchased at Wal-Mart in Tomah, with some of the coats being only $9. They were all brand new and are ready if a student would be in need of them. Helen brought them to the Royall Grade School on Monday, February 4th where they were most graciously accepted with thanks from Grade and Intermediate School Principal Darcy
Uppena and Guidance Counselor Mary Schauff. “I enjoy helping people with projects like this. I want to thank Bob Steffen who has allowed us to have the can collection site on his property. In the winter months when it is cold is when the need is the greatest. Please continue to support the, “Cans For Kid’s” project so we can continue to make sure the children are helped,” Milne said.

Appraisers view and value come unique items at annual event BY STEVE NORLING Saturday, besides being Groundhog Day, was the second annual Antiques Road Show sponsored by the Friends of the Necedah Library and held in the Library's community room. This year's event had Michael and Patrick Barrett from Barrett's Auction house in Wisconsin Rapids as the
appraisers. Between them they claim five decades of experience in appraising and auctioning off antiques and collectibles. They make a great use of the computer, knowing many sites on which to find comparable or exact matches for what is brought to their attention. The first item that was appraised was a clock. After
a goodly amount of time it was found that this was a French clock from 1855. They estimated its value at $600 in its present condition and possibly as much as $1,000 if it were cleaned up. The next interesting thing was a WWII military compass that was valued at $40. One of the more novel things was a Mother of Pearl caviar
A clock estimated to be from about 1855 could be worth between $600 and $1,000.
spoon. The reason that caviar spoons are made from Mother of Pearl is that caviar will actually eat a silver spoon away. The spoon was valued at between $40 and $50. The pair also appraised a number of other things such as old post cards, a lamp, hand-painted lampshade and a medicine bottle holder. The
appraisers seemed very well versed in most of the things that they looked at and many times made a good estimate of the price of things before looking on the computer. This year's event did not get as many people as last year. One of the reasons was probably that last year the weather was a lot better than this year. With the cold and
the snow many people probably did not want to come out. The Friends of the Library also had coffee and snacks on hand for anyone who showed up. For the 20 or 30 people who did show up, it was a great event.
This handpainted lampshade was also a curious item.
New machine a highlight at Necedah BY STEVE NORLING Friday evening, February 1st there was an open house at the Necedah School to allow the community and business leaders to view the new CNC machine in the shop. This machine and the course are part of "Project Lead the Way". The open house was hosted by shop teacher Oscar Miller and several of the Project Lead the Way students. This was a very popular open house with well over 25 people taking advantage of the opportunity. Necedah is one of the very few high schools in the state to have such a state-of-the-art machine for their students to learn on. Of the many people
to attend the open house was the president of WTC, State Rep. Ed Brooks, a representative of UW Extension and Terry Whipple of the Juneau County Economic Development Corp. Also on hand were business people from many county businesses. Represented were several from Necedah Screw Machine, Parker Hannifin, Oakdale Electric, Mauston Tool, Accratec, Necedah Bank and BMO Bank. The open house lasted several hours and refreshments were served. Demonstrations of how the machine is set up and run were done by students in the CNC course. As this machine came during the
school year there are only three students in the first class. This course will give any student that takes the course a leg up on getting a job and will make a great difference should they go to WTC and finish a machining course. This machine can be programmed right at the machine or the program can be done on a computer and plugged into the USB port and the machine takes it from there. Necedah should be very proud of the fact that they are helping to train their students for their future. Project Lead the Way seems to be a great addition to the school.

BY EILEEN NALE These snowmobilers were getting gas at Kwik Trip in Union Center on Sunday, February 3. They stated that they trails were great and they have waited a long time to have this much fun on the snowmobile trails. The last few years have been less than suitable for snowmobilers to run. With only about 6 weeks left of winter weather it would be nice to have enough snow to run on for
the rest of the year. They were ready to head the opposite direction and check out the trails before the snow melted away on them. There is a positive side for all the snowfall that has happened recently. Now if there was ways to have it snow everyplace else but the roads and driveways probably everybody would be happy.

Royall boys slip on ice ending their 23 game winning streak BY TASHA MUELLER The Scenic Bluffs conference on the boys basketball side has been shaken up recently after a disappointing loss coming from Bangor. The Cardinals positioned themselves one game out of a first place win for
conference after winning by a mere seven point lead in last Tuesday's game. It has been more than 15 years since a team from the SBC has been able to win a back-to-back conference title with back-to-back perfect seasons. After the boys
won over Hillsboro 69-32, their determination was high going into the game with Bangor. Royall was only able to lead by one point 12-11 within the first quarter as Bangor kept the Panthers on their toes with two points to
Wonewoc-Center's Chris Goodenough (#55) wasn't able to put down this shot over the Royall Panthers during Friday night action. The Panthers took the win 80-40 after a disappointing loss from Bangor to end their consecutive winning streak.
Lunde, Moore win conference titles BY TASHA MUELLER With a conference full of top-ranked wrestlers, the competition was fierce not only for the Royall Wrestling team, but for the 13 teams competing for a conference title as a long day of competitive match ups came into play and ended the day. Dalton Lunde and Christian Moore both captured conference titles this past Saturday during the Scenic Bluffs, 6 Rivers, Ridge and Valley Conference wrestling meet held in North Crawford as the team finished 6th overall with 104.0 points as Cashton was able to take the conference title with 195.0 points. With the two conference champions for Royall, the team also finished with two 3rd place wrestlers and three 6th place finishers. At 170 pounds, Lunde added on two pins for the day as he took on Tullan Baird of North Crawford/Seneca during the quarterfinal in 1:29 and Morgan Seep of Weston-Ithaca in 1:40. A match up with New Lisbon's Justin Giebel wasn't enough to stop Lunde in his tracks as Lunde was able to come out with the win by tech fall 17-2. Lunde's record advances to 30-7 and currently sits in the 4th place in the Wisconsin Wrestling Online individual rankings. Christian Moore tackled the 220 pounds weight bracket as if he's been doing this sort of thing for years. Moore found two pins over Devon Hall of Cashton in 1:04 in the quarterfinal and over Derek Osmond of Brookwood in 2:42 during the semifinal. Moore then won by major decision over Nick Gilbertson from Pecatonica/Argyle in the 1st place match at 132. Moore remains undefeated at 35-0 and remains at the top spot in the Wisconsin Wrestling Online individual ranking at 220 pounds.
Trenton Pasch battled a tough bracket at 145 pounds but rounded out the day with a 3rd place finish. In the quarterfinal, Pasch got the pin over Erik Hefner of Brookwood in 1:17 while during the semifinal, Pasch wasn't able to uphold Blackhawk's Dakota Meier as Meier won by decision 8-3. For the 3rd place finish, Pasch was able to win by major decision over Lance Buckles from DeSoto with a final score of 13-3. Meier went on to finish 2nd as state ranked Cullen Pedersen from New Lisbon was able to take the conference win. Pasch advances his record to 29-8 and received an Honorable Mention bid in the Wisconsin Wrestling Online individual ranking at 145 pounds. Marcus Blaha was able to hold his ground in the 120 weight bracket by finishing 3rd while defeating Blackhawk's Jared Pickett 4-0 in the 3rd place match up. During the semifinal, Joe Obert from DeSoto was able to win by a tech fall over Blaha 15-0 and in the quarterfinal, Blaha was able to find the pin against Anthony Seebruck from Necedah in 1:38. Blaha advances his record to 18-14. Taylor Juresh, Caleb Overton and Austin Johnson were all able to win with 6th place finishes. Juresh, at 106 pounds, wasn't able to overcome the 5th place finish was Jestin Hemmersbach from Cashton was able to find a pin in 1:40. Overton, at 132 pounds was stopped by Necedah's Shane Torrey after winning by a close decision at 3-2 while Johnson couldn't find the 5th place as Cashton's Jaden Schmitz won by decision 11-8 during the 138 weight class. The Panther wrestlers will be making up a dual meet hosting Necedah this Tuesday night before preparing for individual regionals this Saturday at Necedah and sectionals on Saturday, February 16 at Mineral Point.

Twenty years later, Hillsboro basketball champs return BY TASHA MUELLER Ever since 1994, a tradition was started in Hillsboro beginning a 20 year run in the making for former Hillsboro High School boys basketball stars to return to their home court for an encore. This past Saturday, over 60 all-stars were able to still show basketball fans, and now even family members, that they can still play basketball. Former Tiger Jeff Clark held the original position on starting the day-long tournament as now Alumni Tournament Coordinator Brian Hora reminisced on the day after finding the very first trophy he received in ’94. The trophy was small and could fit in his pocket. Hora
acknowledged all participants for their dedication to the tournament because without them, the annual event would never still occur. To commemorate the 20th anniversary Hora explained that all extra donations that have been gathered throughout the years were able to purchase a banner stating “20 Years of Supporting Youth Basketball – HHS Alumni Tournament 2013 – Established in 1994.” The event serves as a fundraiser for the Boys’ Basketball Club that goes towards the youth basketball programs for equipment, uniforms and summer league fees, along with tournament costs. All leadership comes from volunteers and no funding is from the school district.
Over the past two decades, thousands of dollars have been raised for the youth basketball programs by the event. A concession stand was provided, along with a lot of great raffle items. People were able to reminisce through the 20 year photo changes from past tournaments and able to look through past basketball t-shirts on display. This year’s Open champions kept their rein and went on to win the day-long tournament. Players included Dan Liska, Brock Donovan, Drew Alexander, John Awowale, Kyle Benish, Ethan Wanless, Paxton Burmaster and Tom Mlsna, all from the Class of 2005. Congrats to all participants!
Is that a crowd or what? EILEEN NALE PHOTO

Hillsboro host Lions Convention BY EILEEN NALE
The Hillsboro Lions are will be holding the District Lions Convention for Wisconsin Lions Section D-2. Usually these are held in a larger town such as Middleton, Madison or LaCrosse. The Hillsboro Lions put in a bid for it and got it. They are very proud to not only show the hospitality that the Hillsboro Lions have to show, but also the beautiful rolling hills, Amish culture, and the ethnic culture that has made Hillsboro the Czech Capital of the World. The Lions District convention held in Hillsboro has the Hillsboro Hotel booked full and they are expecting over 200 people without any walk ins. There is other lodging at Valley Inn, N2435 Hwy 80-82, Elroy, WI 53929 and they can be contacted by calling them at 608-462-4316 Friday, February 8th will be open with a welcome at 7:00 p.m. followed by an evening of hospitality, authentic Czech entertainment, polka band, Euchre Tournament, raffles, other games and pin trading and sales. On Saturday, February 9, the day will start out at 7:00 a.m. with opening ceremonies at 8:30 a.m with Hillsboro Lion Shawn Redington. There will be a Prayer by Rev. Roger Miller. A District welcome will be given by DG Dierk Van Cleef. The flag ceremony will be under the direction of Hillsboro Lion Bob Potter. After the Pledge of Allegiance and a song, it will be Hillsboro Lion’s President Liz Johnson’s turn to welcome everyone. This will be followed up by another welcome from the City of Hillsboro Mayor Greg Kubarski. Saturday will be filled with Lion project updates, displays, Necrology service, Award Luncheon, key note address by ID Judy Hankom, WLF update, Leader Dog, Veteran’s Equine Trail Service and a Parade of Checks and voting. A Personal Invitation and Notes from DG Dierk VanCleef was given at the Monday, February 4 Hillsboro Lions Annual Banquet held at the Hotel Hillsboro dinning area that was followed up by a regular meeting. VanCleef said, “Its time for 27-D2 Lions to wake up. February will be special for us as we have our District Convention right here in Hillsboro. I hear we are having a great representation from all around the district. This includes clubs and their members and cabinet officers. You have already showed us that you are a strong club. The 27D2 Convention in Hillsboro is unique because it is rural, a new area for a Lion convention. Hillsboro, I am told by several of you, is the little Bohemia of Wisconsin. “I am proud of the way the Hillsboro Lions club has poured out a lot of effort into the planning stages of this convention. So on February 8th (Friday evening) and 9th (Saturday all day), trek to Hillsboro. If you are only a one day convention person, plan on Saturday. The Hillsboro Lions have a full day of events planned that includes games, raffles, great speakers, Czech dancers, Little Czech Singers, and a Czech banquet you won’t forget. Our primary speaker is
More Obituaries ALMA M. BUCHAL
Alma M. Buchal, age 85 years, of Hillsboro, passed away on Monday, February 4, 2013 at St. Joseph’s Memorial Hospital in Hillsboro, Wisconsin. She was born on November 6, 1927 to Christopher and Christina (Petersen) Thonesen at Kendall, Wisconsin, where she grew to adulthood and attended the Wood School and graduated from the Kendall High School. She then worked at the Hansbery Hospital and St. Joseph’s Memorial Hospital for approximately 40 years. Many knew her by the nickname “Tony.” Alma was united in marriage to Bennie Buchal on May 8, 1947 at Hillsboro. They farmed near Hillsboro for many years. He preceded her in death on May 28, 1977. She enjoyed visiting with friends and belonged to the local Red Hatters club. Survivors include her six children, Jerry (Kathy) Buchal of Hillsboro, Conrad Buchal of Hillsboro, Marie (Robert) McCoy of Seattle, Washington, Arlie Buchal and Vicki Garmon of Reedsburg, Rita (David) Anderson of Barrow, Alaska and Kathryn Byington and Alan Franson of Lime Ridge; ten grandchildren, Evon, Lynnette, Jerry, Tina, Todd, Tim, Kim, Brian, Theresa and Korin; twelve Great Grandchildren; a Great Great Grandson; three sisters, Ada Johnson of Yerinton, Nevada, Esther (Adolph) Vlasak of Kendall and Mildred Willie of Sparta; and two brothers, Harry (Joyce) Thonesen of Kendall and Earl (Alice) Thonesen of Dallas, Texas. In addition to her husband, Bennie; she was preceded in death by her Parents; an infant brother; a sister, Dora Thonesen; and an infant daughter. Funeral Services will be held on Friday, February 8, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at the Burr Wesleyan Church, rural Hillsboro, with Rev. Alan Tripp officiating. Burial will be in the Mount Vernon Cemetery in Hillsboro. Friends may call at the Picha Funeral Home in Hillsboro on Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m., for online information go to www.pichafuneralhomes.com
Lions International Director Judy Hankon from Iowa. We even have a Sheriff speaking. Mark your calendars for February 8 and 9. See you soon in Hillsboro. “The number one is maintaining and increasing our membership, and that you have done by inducting six new members tonight. I am so proud to be inducting them. They are: Jake Stockwell (sponsor, Carl Baller); Brenda Osterman (sponsor, Arnie Svacina); Joanna Muller (sponsor, Liz Johnson); Trini Mendez (sponsor, Brenda Kruger); Jean Kubarski (sponsor, Ken Johnson) and Ian Collins (sponsored by his father Bill Collins). Usually a Lion member only lasts a year and Hillsboro has been fortunate to have some very loyal people stay in the organization for many years. They are the teachers and leaders of those that have been in the club for years. “There is a four step process to have a healthy Lions Club. Number one is maintaining and increasing our membership. Number two is planning our agenda for this year so we may continue our programs to serve those that are less fortunate than ourselves. Number three is maintaining the service programs outlined by our International President Wayne Madden at the start of his term. If you have lost sight of these programs they are Literacy, Health initiatives (Measles, Programs to aid lack of sight, Hearing and diabetes), Lions own CEP program to improve our clubs. Number four is contingency planning. How can we serve with no planning for nature? When we are hit with unimaginable disasters, we might not be able to avoid them from happening, but with planning we will be better prepared to serve in the aftermath. We want to be able to serve our communities both here and far. “Volunteering is good for your heart. It gives you satisfaction of helping someone, and it eases the burdens on the person being served. I know when I became District Governor I would have to prepare my schedule for lots of travel. True. At the end of each trip I had the satisfaction of meeting New Lions. Now, that is fun.” “If you ever need a helping hand, it is at the end of your arm. As you get older you must remember you have a second hand. The first one is to help yourself. The second hand is to help others.”— Audrey Hepburn

Victor P. Laskowski, age 92 years, of rural Hillsboro, passed away on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at Heritage Manor in Elroy, Wisconsin. He was born on April 5, 1920 to Frank and Agnes Laskowski in Plover, Wisconsin. He attended school at St. Bronislava in Plover. Victor grew to adulthood farming with his parents and brothers and sisters at their home farm, Highland Farm, of 720 acres. They raised pigs, horses, chickens, dairy cows, grew vegetables for farmers market, eggs, and cut timber on a large tract of land near the Wisconsin River. He went to Chicago at the age of 19 and worked as a machinist for a tool and die maker. In December of 1941 he was drafted into the U.S. Army Air Corps. He spent time in Florida, Georgia, Texas and finally Hawaii before being shipped out as a medic transport to the Pacific Theater. He spent time in places such as the Philippines and Corregidor. He was discharged at the end of the war and came back home to the farm in Plover. After farming a few years he went to the University of Wisconsin for the farm short course and completed that degree, then returning to the family farm and worked on the dairy. He did other work as well including hauling paper mill sludge to farms as fertilizer and started Highland Farm custom operation and harvested grains and seeds. In 1958 he corresponded and met Marcella Stanek of West Lima, Wisconsin. They married on October 15, 1960 at the St. Aloysius Catholic Church in Hillsboro. They purchased 120 acres in Greenwood Township, Vernon County in 1960 and started a dairy. Their children were born from 1960 to 1970. The family farmed together for many years until he retired in 2006. He was a member of the St. Aloysius Catholic Church until his death and was an active participant as usher, prayer leader and for perpetual adoration at St. Theresa’s in Union Center. Survivors include his children and their families, Ann (Michael) Porco and Kathryn of Phoenix, Arizona; Joseph (Kathy) Laskowski and Mariya of Hillsboro; James (Carolyn) Laskowski and Brian, Anneliese, Elizabeth, Jonathan and Sarah of Osseo; Samantha Laskowski (Leonard Krupinski) of Madison; Margaret (Timothy) Arguello and Olivia, Matthew and Benjamin of Huntington Beach, California; and Patricia Laskowski-Morren (William Morren) and Violet and Zachary of Hillsboro. He was preceded in death by his wife, Marcella on May 26, 2011; Parents; daughter, Victoria Laskowski; and brothers and sisters, Dominick, Elizabeth, John, Gregory, Agnes, Herman, and Dorothy.

WILLIAM (BILL) CHARLES LAWTON
William (Bill) Charles Lawton, 86 of Mauston passed away Saturday, February 2, 2012 at the Heritage Manor Nursing Home, Elroy. William (Bill) Charles Lawton born on October 20, 1926, on a farm in the town of Summit, the last son of Aaron and Lillie (Diettrich) Lawton. After attending country school, Bill learned to hunt, fish and trap to help his family. On March 28, 1945, Bill was inducted into the Army. He was very proud of his service as a Construction Equipment Operator in Japan. After his tour of duty was complete, Bill went to Milwaukee where he worked as a Master Brewer at the Miller Brewing Co. It was at that time he started collecting old Miller advertising. In 1955, he bought a small 80 acre farm in Lemonweir Township and planted a tree farm. In 1969, he married Lois Loretta Klas, a school teacher. When Bill retired in 1981, he and Lois moved to his tree farm. He brought his hobby with him and expanded it to any and all brewery items as well as sports, candy soda, automobile and miscellaneous advertising. Bill so enjoyed buying, selling and trading old signs, salesmen's samples and other items. He loved to travel across the country to attend shows and auctions and made many good and loyal friends among the other dealers. Bill also was very concerned about any old men who were living alone in and around Mauston. He ran errands for them, took them fishing or berry-picking or whatever else they wanted to do, and often brought them home for lunch or dinner.

Letter to the Editor
BY BILL SMITH I woke up sometime in the very early morning Sunday and my first thought was "It seems a little cool in here." As the fog of sleep gradually went away and allowed me back to the real world, I realized what the problem was: There was no electric power in my apartment. My wall furnace creates heat from gas, but it needs electricity for the blower that puts that heat into the room.I looked out the window and saw no street lights. At least this portion of Elroy was without power. Then I remembered that I had planned to get a flashlight just in case of such an emergency, and started to wonder how I would get to the bathroom without lights. Just as I decided that a package of matches left over from my smoking days would be the answer, the lights suddenly went on. As I enjoyed the heat that came out of the heater shortly after the lights came back on once again I had been reminded of just how much of our civilization depends on that thin copper wire that brings us electricity. Those of us who were watching the Super Bowl game Sunday night also got a lesson in just how important is electric power. Fans will probably be forever arguing about just how much the delay had to do with the final score of the game, Reports were that banks of bowl lights went out when something similar to a circuit breaker detected an abnormal usage of power. Although the light failure came after play had started, I still wonder if it had any connection to the halftime show, which featured a variety of lighting effects, as well as some live singing. One other comment about the Super Bowl: I thought that Ram truck had a great commercial when they brought back the voice of Paul Harvey reading a great salute to the farmer. It was very well done, and made me feel a bit sad that we appear to be losing too many of our smaller farmers. I wonder if it had any effect on those who live in the cities to help them appreciate the source of their food.
Dear Editor and Citizens and Businesses of Elroy, On January 22, 2013 I set up a meeting for the public and business community to talk about starting an Elroy Chamber of Commerce. I walked around town and talked to as many of the business as I could get to and those that I couldn’t I personally sent you a letter inviting you to this meeting. 15 people came to the meeting - 13 business and 2 concerned citizens. I had invited Mary Hudack from the Mauston Chamber, Sue Zimmerman from Hill Country Chamber, and Attorney Steve Roy all to give us options and ideas on ways that we might move forward in developing a chamber. It was not their responsibility to present us with ideas on how to correct the problems Elroy is having with its business district. Unfortunately, a few of the people that did attend the meeting only heard that I wanted The Elroy Chamber to become the Mauston Chamber. This was never said! A nonprofit chamber takes 9 to 12 months to form with all the paperwork and legal issues. Mauston Chamber offered us the ability to get started right now by co-chambering with them until we are legal. Again, not become the Mauston Chamber, but work with them to achieve Elroy’s goal. Another option was to form a group/clubcharge a membership and stay small. Or we do nothing and watch the town slowly die. Well from the talk around town and lack of interest the last option seems to be the favorite. Well here are some facts before you write off my idea. The city of Elroy’s population is dropping. It is aging and at best it has become a transit community. Because of these reasons and homeschooling the student enrollment at Royall is dropping. Without students we don’t get funds, without funds items, programs, and teachers get cut from the budget. Without students the state steps in and we become part of the Mauston School District. It happened to Kendall. It can happen here in Elroy! I

wonder how Mr. Brunner and Mr. Thompson would feel if there just wasn’t any money to take care of the new track or new weight room. Another fact, there are 17 vacant store fronts in Elroy most on Main Street. Most of these store fronts are not well maintained and offer no reason to entice the possibility of a business. Why would a business move into Elroy? We have an ugly dilapidated downtown with little to no signage. We have a population that works and spend its money elsewhere. We have lack of direction and pride. These are all facts here is another possible fact: in 5 years there might not be a local paper to publish this letter in or citizens to write it for. So before you write off the idea of forming an Elroy Chamber of Commerce ask yourself “Where do I want to be in 5 years”. In 1890, 19 people had to vision to start the Elroy Downtown. Is there anyone with that vision reading this letter today? Thank you for your time, Paris Dudzinski 120 Main Street Elroy, WI 53929

BY NANCY J SCHNEIDER Okay class pay attention and see if you can figure out where I’m going with this. “And Ma in her kerchief and I in my cap had just settled down for a long winter’s nap.” Here’s another hint in the Christmas Carol Scrooge is always wearing a nightcap. If you watch any older Little House on the Prairie series and they are going to bed or are in bed, they are wearing nightcaps. Heck even in the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood the wolf is shown in pictures wearing Gramma’s night cap. So, what do these have in common? Not that hard to figure out is it. They are all wearing a cap or hat or something on their heads when they go to bed. So what’s the big deal you might ask. And why am I bringing it up? Good question. I have an answer for you, too. I discovered something that folks long ago already knew. If you keep your head warm the rest of you feels warmer, too. Maybe that’s one of the reasons they put little tiny caps on newborns. Where did I get my enlightenment? It was actually not planned, it was just by accident. We were at the laundry mat and it was cold in there. Now you can’t fold clothes if you have a coat on, at least I can’t, but I got so cold. So I grabbed my hat and put it on and it made all the difference in the world. Granted I wasn’t hot by any means, but I wasn’t as cold either. So if you are cold when you go to bed or even just sitting around, put on a cap. Who cares what you look like. It really does make a person feel warmer. Of course I don’t suppose it will help much if your feet are cold, but then put on slippers I guess. Yes there’s a lot of weird things out there that maybe our ancestors were smarter about than we are with all our modern technology and knowledge. I know it’s true in some cases of “home remedies” but I wouldn’t say it’s true in all cases. I’d really rather not have a leach on me to help with whatever it was they were supposed to help with. But there are things that they did that
were not technological but they did work. My Grandpa always planted his garden by the moon phases and I think they also cut hair by the moon phases too. Waxing or waning - did you want it to grow or stay short type reasoning. He also believed firmly in the Farmers Almanac and it was surprising how often they were right on the money. My husband Ray also reads the Almanac and takes it into consideration. Then again he also devotes a lot of time to the weather channel. That’s his own way of figuring out what’s going on I guess. He will say, “The Weather Channel says …” and it’s like gospel to him. So although he is a kinda weather freak, I can’t get him to wear a hat and I’m not even talking about wearing it inside. I have to bug him and it has to be really cold or windy before he will put a hat on. In summer he does wear a baseball cap but that’s because he doesn’t want his bald spot to get sunburned. To each his own. I really haven’t warn a hat inside the house yet, but if I get cold enough you can bet your bottom dollar I will because it did help when I was in the laundry mat. I don’t care if Ray thinks I’m nuts either because if it works, I’ll do it. So if you find yourself shivering in bed or while you’re watching TV or something like that and have a hat handy, put it on. Sometimes the old way of doing things was a good way. In fact it’s been said today’s world seems bent on demonstrating that the good old days really were better. A big hunk of me believes they were. Then again there’s those who say it takes an unusual person to admit that the good old days weren’t so hot the first time around. So I guess it’s all a matter of opinion. So until next week I’ll leave you with this NO-nonsense thought: We are responsible for what we do no matter how we feel. n Nancy J Schneider is a member of The Wisconsin Regional Writers Association and writes freelance.

Letter to the Editor One Billion Rising V-Day, an international organization working to end violence against women and girls, is organizing One Billion Rising, a global campaign on February 14 to rally, dance, and rise in honor of the 1 in 3 women in the world that will be raped or beaten. That’s about one billion women – our mothers, daughters, sisters, partners, co-workers, neighbors, and friends. V-Day is asking women and those that love them to take time on February 14 to recognize the magnitude of this problem and help break the silence and end the violence. News stories every day, such as the recent gang rape and death of a girl in India and the rape of a drunk girl passed from party to party in Steubenville, Ohio, illustrate why we need to rise. Hope House gets hotline calls, has counseling sessions, provides legal assistance, helps people plan
for their safety, and provides resources and referrals to survivors in our communities every single day. I rise because many still believe survivors are responsible for what happened to them or do not believe survivors in the first place. I rise because all of our systems need to do a better job to bring about justice for survivors. I rise because so many survivors feel alone, like they have no one to talk to, no one to tell. Will you please join us in rising on February 14? Our rural communities will be in solidarity with those around the U.S., in India, Congo, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Mexico, Philippines, Italy, and many, many more. Visit www.OneBillionRising.org to learn how you can rise. Debbie Allen choreographed a dance to the music video “Break the Chain.” Students, fitness classes, and whole communities are learn-
Taking Refuge BY STEVE NORLING
As I sit here writing this on Wednesday, January 30th there is eight inches of new snow on the ground. Hopefully it will last a while this time so those of us who enjoy winter can get out to the refuge and cross-country ski or snowshoe. The wife and I drove through the refuge this past Sunday. The roads through the refuge are in great winter driving condition. I do not know how long it will be before the roads there get plowed or how many of them will be plowed. If you are going out there be careful and make sure the roads are plowed before you try to drive them. Remember, there are snowshoes that can be checked out at the refuge at no cost. The visitor center is open Monday through Saturday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM so you can do a lot of snowshoeing during that time. You can snowshoe on any of the trails through the refuge. I will probably check out the cross-country ski trail sometime within the next week and let you know how it is. One of the better trails to ski is the Boghaunter trail. This trail is over three miles long and there are no real big hills. Again I would like to remind people that skiers and snowshoers can share the same trails if they cooperate. When you see ski tracks on one side of the trail, snowshoe on the other side. A little common courtesy and cooperation are all that are needed. We can all enjoy our sport on the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge if we would just do these couple of things. I hope everyone remembers that the “Cabin Fever” program is this Saturday the 9th. There are two naturalist led snowshoe outings planned. This will get you out on the refuge while the snow is at its best. If you have your own snowshoes you may want to bring them, as there is a limited supply at the refuge. The event begins at 9:00 AM and lasts until 3:00 PM. Come early and stay all day. There will be many things to do indoors for those who do not like to go outdoors in the winter. I thought that this week I would talk about another one of the threatened species that resides on the refuge. The Blandings Turtle, while not listed nationally is a Wisconsin threatened species. There are a number of them on the refuge and from time to time they can be seen. They are semi-aquatic preferring grass marshes with shallow water. They are at home both in the water and on land and many times come on land to lie in the sun to keep warm. The adult Blandings is about eight to ten inches long and have bright yellow necks that set them off from other turtles. The upper shell, called the carapace is smooth and is black with speckles of yellow spots and streaks. The lower shell or plastron is yellow with blotches of brown and black. The male is larger than the female and their plastron is slightly concave to make mating possible. The plastron on both male and female is hinged giving them the option of pulling it up to protect their head and legs. This is similar to the plastron on the box turtle, although it does no close as tight as the box turtle. Unlike most turtles Blandings can swallow food both on land and in the water. Crayfish are their favorite food but the also eat snails, insects, frogs and fish. When on land they eat earthworms, slogs grasses and berries. When winter comes the burrow into the silt on the bottom and hibernate. In early spring they mate in the water. The female may travel one to one and one-half miles to find a good nesting spot. They find a good sandy spot and lay from three to seventeen eggs. One problem for them is the number of predators that may raid the nest. These predators include, but are not limited to, crows, skunks and raccoons. Sometime between sixty-five and ninety days later the eggs hatch. The young are very drab colored compared to the adults. This is to provide them camouflage, as they are only about one and one-quarter inches long when they are born. If you are out on the refuge during the spring or summer and see one of these Blandings Turtles, stop by the visitor center and let them know where you saw it. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”
ing, teaching, and performing the dance. There is also choreography for those with limited mobility. Others are wearing red and black, putting up posters and passing out flyers, reading announcements, creating and uploading “Why I’m Rising” videos on YouTube, organizing fundraisers and information booths, participating in art projects and spoken word events, and showing videos like “Break the Chain,” “Man Prayer,” and “Engage.” In Juneau County, New Lisbon and Necedah High Schools plan on rising, and more are signing up to participate every day. To learn more about who’s rising in our area, visit www.HopeHouseSCW.org or call us at 608-3569123 to get help with resources and planning.

An Outdoorsman’s Journal
Wilderness Trapline MARK WALTERS
Hello friends, Doug Cibulka has been a friend of mine since grade school, and Doug has been a long time member of the Red Brush Gang, and is one of the few people that I know that will try any type of outdoor experience. Back in November, we both realized that each of us had an otter trapping tag which were both good for the area around our deer camp (northern Juneau County) Doug and I agreed to team up on a long distance (hiking) trapline, and try to fill our otter tags and also do some coyote hunting on our long treks. Saturday, January 19th High 47, low 25 Here is the scenario, Doug and I are basing out of my house (the trapper shack). My dog Fire is ready to drop, what appears to be, a very large load of pups and this is going to be a really cool three-day experience. Today, our goal was to make 8 sets for otter and by days end we would hike 10-miles looking for otter sign, while stopping every hour or so to use our mouth calls for coyote. The air temp is balmy, the ice that we are traveling on is scary bad and because there is no snow and the ice is melting, we see very little otter sign. I have trapped otter once before and managed to catch a huge male that now lives in my living room. Doug Cibulka does a lot of trapping in the Portage area but this would be his first otter trapping experience. Our main weapon would be a 330 Conibear traps, which are placed under the ice, where the trapper hopes that the otter will swim through it and instantly be killed. Chopping holes in the ice is a large part of this experience, as is pulling “Otter Sleds” many miles. At days end, we had four sets made for otter and four that might catch a beaver or an otter. Sunday, January 20th High 12, low minus 6 Last night, when we made it back to the truck, major winds hit Wisconsin and the temperature plummeted. Often a major drop in air temperature puts wild animals into the hunker down and save energy mode. Today, Doug and I walked 9-miles, had two beaver sets sprung (the beaver were swimming with brush in there mouth and the brush was in the traps instead of the beaver) and no otter for our efforts. Monday, January 21st High 5, low minus 17 My dog Fire was doing so much moaning and groaning that I put her in my bed when I went to bed just after 11:00 last night. The moaning was keeping me awake, so I put her on the floor. At 12:23, I heard a whimper from her and with the lights off in the house, took her down to the 4x5 footbirthing box I made, that is placed near my woodstove. At 1:30, no pups were born so I headed back to my bed with the lights still off. It’s a good thing I was barefoot because as I was getting in my bed, I stepped on a puppy (the reason for the whimper, was when Fire gave birth to it). I turned on the light; the pup was still in the birthing sac and looked to be dead. I took it out of the sack, put its head in my mouth and gave it man to pup resuscitation, just like that it started kicking and the show was on. By 5:50 a.m. Fire had ten pups in her nest box, there were five males and five females and all was well in this otter trap-

pers world. Doug and I spent the day hunting coyotes and trying to catch an otter, no luck with either. We made an executive decision to tag team on our trapline and keep it going until one of us filled our tag. Meanwhile, back at the trapper shack, I have ten bundles of gold in my living room. Fire is an incredible mother and if you are interested in a quality AKC golden retriever pup, you can reach me in Necedah at sunsetoutdoors@tds.net.

Science Olympics at U.W. Oshkosh
BY DIANNA ANDERSON New Lisbon sixth grade through eighth grade students traveled to U.W. Oshkosh for the Science Olympics on February 2nd, with 40 other schools in attendance. Students compete in a variety of activities all dealing with different aspects of science, they must build their own projects and take test on different subjects dealing with everything from music to crime solving. Sabrina Olson and Jena Southworth made instruments out of P.V.C. pipes and wind chimes, the students then had to play their instruments for a grade. Brenden Simmons and Jacob Helbing created a Boom-i-level, Liz Fleming and Margo Weiland competed in Forestry in which they had to identify trees, bushes, and berries this was a timed event. Tess Bigalke and Holden

Rydmark built a Mouse Trap Car, this car was powered by a mouse trap a cassette tape and string, the car worked but did not get the distance they would have liked. Holden Rydmark and Liz Fleming participated in solving a crime. They were given finger prints and a hair. The students had to figure out which person committed the crime on just that evidence. Kayla Robison and Maggie Martin participated in the Roto egg drop. They had to build something to protect an egg and drop it from 13 feet. There were many more competitions for students to participate in at the Science Olympics and they will have to wait for the results to know how they did.
Increases to public charges will take place in the Village of Kendall BY TASHA MUELLER After comparing a public charges chart during last month’s meeting with a list of the village’s current charges towards operator’s licenses to the price of garbage bags, items will be taking an increase to match many of the municipality’s costs. To be able to gain more money for the village and be equal with other villages, increasing prices will be taking place. A Picnic License will be increasing to $10 instead of $5; an Operators Provisional License will be going to $10 as the Operators Licenses will be set to $20 to match Wilton and Norwalk. The Cigarette and Tobacco License will be set to $10. The sidewalk snow removal will be se to $50 for the first penalty and then $15 for the second offense. At the Kendall Fastrip, the price of the box of village garbage bags is becoming an issue. Currently, the store is making 10 cents per bag, at a cost of $10 per box with 100 bags within each box as the village makes the $100 per box. Residents living in the village must put all of their garbage within the bags otherwise the garbage crew will not take the bags due to village ordinances. To purchase the bags, it is $2,006 for 120 boxes and if the bill is paid within 10 days, the village can get 15 percent off the total amount. It takes roughly a half hour to an hour to roll the entire box. The bags come in a rolled package as the bags must be rolled by hand and split into bundles of five. The Fastrip feels they are paying $9 an hour to roll the box as the business feels they’re only making a dollar. The bags dimensions are 30x36. All money from the village bag purchases goes right back to the village. Motion carried about a tactic on if the board would like to increase the price per bag to $1.25 or $1.50. Area municipalities currently charge $1.50 per garbage bag, but few have different sized bags. Art Keenan proposed having the bundle of five bags become $6 a bundle and $1.25 per single bag sold. A possibility to get the bags to come differently prepared through the vendor was also discussed. Clerks Report There is an Exploring Regional Economic Opportunities on Thursday, February 28 which will hold different booths for board members to go. The cost is $25 per person and would be beneficial to the members. Clerk Lynne Hanson was able to attend another Revolving Loan Fund Meeting in La Crosse focusing on updating the manual, the main regional board will set administrative costs and loan reviews so everything will be the same across the region, no one county will be able to receive 20 percent of cash provided in the WEDF Fund unless the regional board approves it, loan money will be set up in two separate checking accounts so all account can be paid out using one system, a possible freezing of defederalized funds could take place from 6 months to a year to build up funds, one representative will be present on the board from each county as the regional board handles all loans over $200,000. Kendall can decide if it would like to see its own loan committee within the village or delegated to the county. The committee would need five representatives and would handle all loans under $200,000. A Board of Review training will be taking place as four different sessions will be available as Lynne Hanson will be going and possibly a few others. Law Enforcement A new badge will be making headway for Marshall

Laxton showcasing the new title. Laxton was able to give the board a concrete set number of what new uniform accessories will cost along with car graphics. A new badge will cost $100, graphics for the squad car would be another $100 and patches is roughly $125 per patch. In October, Laxton had won a Preliminary Breath Test machine that costs over $500. As the department already has a handheld device, Laxton proposed to sell the machine within municipalities and Laxton believes he will be able to get $250 for the device. All together for the new accessories, it would roughly cost $325 as when the device will be sold, the $250 will be used towards the total and the total would be $75 to the village. Motion carried and the board approved for Laxton to sell the machine first, then move forward with the new accessories. Public Works The new sludge truck is saving a lot. With being able to haul less within a two week time frame, costs for transportation are down and the amount to dispose of the sludge will be costing less. “By hauling when we need to, we are actually able to haul less,” commented Public Works director Dave Gruen. A Tankers License was also recently issued to Gruen and Joe Schnurr. An estimate of the garbage truck was given as a set of springs on the driver’s side was replaced and cost $1,420. An air compressor mount might be cracked, along with other parts. A rough estimate of $5,000 to fix all parts on the truck will be taking place to keep the truck going. A SkyTrack Lift was borrowed from Tom Trepes as the board approved to give Trepes $100 for letting the village use the lift to make work time less than would it would take with a bucket lift. New Updates Board President received a $699.26 at a quarterly meeting with the Monroe County system as the money will be put towards the HUD fund in the village. Designs for the new village signs have begun coming in along with a slogan list that could be used.

A two vehicle accident occurred Monday afternoon south of Hillsboro just west of the Sauk County Line. Vernon County Sheriff John Spears said, “the operator of a Sauk County Highway Department dump truck equipped with a snow plow, 56-year old David Mueller of rural LaValle, was at the intersection of County Road EE and County Road Q. Mueller entered the intersection and began a right turn but failed to see an east bound pickup truck, pulling a livestock trailer, being driven by 48-year old Dean Urban, of rural Hillsboro. Urban steered left attempting to avoid striking the highway truck, but the two vehicles collided. The dump truck entered the ditch. The pickup traveled off the roadway and struck a fence. Urban was transported to a Hillsboro hospital, treated, and later released. Two milk cows in the livestock trailer did not appear to be injured. The highway worker was not injured.”
