Heintz convicted of heroin sales in Monroe County Monroe County District Attorney Dan Cary announced today that a Monroe County jury convicted 30 year old Christopher Heintz of Holmen, formerly of Sparta, of the charge of Conspiracy to Deliver/Distribute more than 50 grams of heroin on Monday, February 11th. Heintz was accused of delivering heroin to many others over an extended period of time in and around Monroe County. After 5 days of trial the Monroe County jury deliberated for just under 3 hours before rendering their verdict in this case. District Attorney Cary said, "The jury heard the evidence and rendered a just and true verdict in this case". "Christopher Heintz was exposed for the drug dealer that he is, and is being held accountable for the harm he has caused this community", Cary continued. Cary also said, "successful prosecution of this case resulted because of the hard work and dedication of our law enforcement agencies, and their cooperative and comprehensive investigation." Law enforcement agencies participating in this investigation included the City of Sparta Police Department, Monroe County Sheriff's Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and others.

Because Heintz is a habitual criminal and this was his second or subsequent drug conviction, he faces a potential maximum 52 year sentence and $100,000 fine.

Heintz was represented by Attorney Sean O'Neill of LaCrosse, and Monroe County District Attorney Dan Cary prosecuted the case.

Following the announcement of the jury's verdict Monroe County Circuit Court Judge Mark Goodman, who presided over the case, revoked Heintz' bond and remanded him to custody pending sentencing which will be scheduled for a later date.

orty-nine year old Darin Skiff of Mauston was in court Tuesday afternoon for what was scheduled to be a plea hearing on two separate felony cases which include charges of 1st degree reckless homicide (party to a crime) in the November 2011 drug related death of Jeremy Hass and a charge of manufacture/deliver cocaine.

Lyndon Station looks to create Chamber of Commerce

BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD The Village of Lyndon Station may support a small population but the Village President believes with a little organization and networking that population may grow and more importantly tourism dollars will flow steadily into the community.

On Monday evening a first of a series of meetings was held to discuss and create a plan to support area businesses with a Chamber of Business. Speakers at the meeting included Terry Whipple- Director of the Juneau County Economic and Development Corporation; Deb Clemmons and Naletta Burr from the Wisconsin Economic and Development Corporation; Gary Kirking from the Juneau County UW Extension, and Mary Hudack from the Mauston Chamber.

Whipple stated he felt the meeting went well and that those who came out were on consensus that they wanted the community to grow and businesses to thrive. He went on to state that they are looking at a two step process with the first step being to look at going after a planning grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation. That grant will help to hire a consultant and lay the framework on the direction the community should head.

The second step of the process is getting information out

and people interested in creating a co-op with the Mauston Chamber. Whipple went on to state that Lyndon Station would keep their own identity but utilize the experience the Mauston Chamber has. Additionally, he said, a co-op would have a better position at getting what they need for a lower price.

Village President Dave Klicko stated that when he took office two years ago he found the Village's finances problematic.

"We were living month to month," he said.

He went on to state that the village had made investments into the infrastructure but at a cost to the residents. A fact he said was recently seen when sewer rates were increased.

"We have 500 residents supporting the bills, imagine what 2,000 residents could do and what that means for our community."

Klicko said he was pleased with the outcome of Monday's meetings and hopes that not only does the enthusiasm continues but also grows. Another meeting will be held on Monday, Feb, 25 at Village Hall. The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m.

"We need to start laying a framework - a template," stated Klicko.

M & M Sports Shop hosts series of classes for area 4-H youth to teach archery

BY DIANNA ANDERSON The Juneau County 4-H students have been meeting at M&M Sport Shop in New Lisbon for the past four Saturdays to learn the art of Archery. Bob and Rundi Delmore are giving 4-H students a chance to learn Archery safety and shooting, and M&M Sport shop is donating the indoor range and bows for students.

Each Saturday about 25 to 30 students attend a class with guest speakers to pass on their knowledge of the art of archery. This past Saturday, Matt Weber, DNR Warden for Juneau County was the guest speaker. Weber has vast knowledge of the accidents that can cause bow hunters serious injury and even accidents resulting in death. Weber spoke to the students about tree stand safety and the importance of

wearing a good safety harness in a tree stand. The number one reason for bow hunter accidents are non use of a safety harness. Weber had volunteers to demonstrate how to put the safety harness on and how to use a linesman belt. He also pointed out the importance of making sure some one always knows where you are hunting when you go out.

"Making sure someone knows where you are could save your life,� he said.

Weber also stressed the importance of having a cell phone to call for help if you do have an accident and making sure you have a signal when you get to where you are hunting.

Weber then touched on the rules of hunting, and the weapons you can use for those seasons. Juneau County is one of the only counties you can not bait your prey so getting caught could cost you a big fine and loss of your hunting

DNR Warden Matt Weber addressed the group on Saturday about safety issues surrounding archery and hunting with a bow.

license. Juneau County had it's first confirmed case of Chronic Wasting Disease last year and baiting has been one of the biggest ways that deer have been spreading the deadly disease.

Weber went over the rules for the age of hunting and the importance of being with a licensed hunter if your are not old enough to hunt alone. You must be 16 years old and have taken a hunter safety course to be able to hunt on your own, if you are under 16 you must be accompanied by someone 18 or older that is a licensed hunter.

The 4-H students then began to shoot bows in the indoor bow range at M&M Sport shop. On the 23rd of February, one lucky 4-H student will be awarded a Matthews bow from Mike Boudrou from Matthews.

After the youth heard the presentation by the Warden, they got the opportunity to put that information into play by shooting at the indoor archery range.

Cabin Fever Day hosted by the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge

BY STEVE NORLING Saturday, February 9th the Necedah National Refuge held their Cabin Fever Day. This was a great event for the whole family. A total of 75 adults and youngsters took advantage of the day and the events. Many youngsters learned about scrap booking, stamping, the making of felt animal puppets and other paper crafts. There was also a great interest by both young and old in learning how to tie fishing flies. Larry Schmidt, who was doing the instruction stayed busy all day.

Another event that held the interest of both adults and youth was the snowshoe hikes. Ranger Kara Zwickey led two

hikes, one in the a.m. and one in the p.m. There were 15 people of all ages in the a.m. hike and 12 of all ages in the p.m. hike. With plenty of snow and nice weather everyone enjoyed themselves. It was especially eventful when on the hikes there was and otter slide to observe.

Another great event for both adults and children was the showing of the movies "First Snow in the Woods" and "Stranger in the Woods". A total of 21 people, both adults and youngsters watched these two movies and everyone enjoyed them.

One of the favorite things for many of the youngsters was

the making of felt hand puppets. The puppets were cut and sewed before hand and all the children had to do was to make them personal by gluing on eyes, noses, clothing, etc. There were some very interesting looking puppets from some of the youngsters.

The Friends of Necedah National Wildlife Refuge furnished a free lunch for all attendees. There were hot dogs, various kinds of chips, desert and hot chocolate, coffee or Kool Aid. Everyone that attended said they had a great time and hoped that the refuge would do it again next year.

The youngsters at the event really enjoyed the puppet making.

Strapping on the snowshoes and getting ready for the hike.

Learning how to tie flies was a very popular event.

A great turnout for the different craft making projects.

New radar sign received

BY STEVE NORLING The February meeting of the Necedah Village board was held on Monday the 11th of Feb. In his police report Tony Heiss reported that the village has a new radar sign, which will not only show the speed but the speeds will be able to be downloaded to see the history of speeds. The unit is movable and can be used at various locations. This unit was obtained with a grant and did not cost the village anything.

In his Public Works report, Chris Woda noted that there are some intersections that are having a water problem due to the rain. The problem is that there is no place for the water to go when everything is froze over. He also reported that all

three gates on the dam are finished and that the electric gate operating controls are partially done. Later in the meeting it was approved to pay Staab Construction $22,600 for the work on the dam. He also reported that the 1982 Case end-loader would cost an estimated $16,000 to repair and that current value of the machine is only $12,000. The machine will be put on the disposal list and that machines that are ten years newer are available for under $10,000.

Woda reported that Alliant Energy will be replacing a sub-station and will need to transfer power to a temporary sub-station while they are getting new one ready. There will be two complete power outages for the entire village of

Necedah. The first one will be on February 22 at 4 PM and will last for approximately ten minutes. The second one will be on March 1 at 4 PM and will also last for the same approximate ten minutes.

Also in actions pertaining to the Public Works Department, summer work hours were approved and the board authorized the disposal of excess equipment and vehicles.

In the library report an annual report summary was given. In 2012, 2,470 books and 285 videos were added to the library. 37,393 items were circulated as opposed to 34,421 in 2011. 16,448 people visited the library while in 2011 there were 14,595 visitors.

The zoning change requested for the property at 600 S. Main was denied. The owners wished to have it changed from R-3 Multi-family residential to B-1 General Commercial District. The planning commission was unanimously against the change. They suggested and the board agreed that it would be better to give a conditional use permit. In that way the would have input on what type of business was to be there.

Introduction of ordinance updates were brought forward and discussed. These ordinances deal mostly with truancy, public nuisances and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The updating of these ordinances is necessary so that

they can be adjudicated by the Mauston/Necedah Municipal Court.

There was much discussion on the matter of garbage and recycling. Necedah needs to adhere to state laws or they will lose their grant from the state. This would cause taxes to go up to pay for the garbage pickup, various ways to get people to recycle more were discussed.

It was approved to contract North Central Regional Planning to update the village master plan. There would be several meetings to obtain public input and the update would include improvements since the last plan and would also include the 2010 census data. The cost would be $5,000 and would be split

between two budget years.

In his Administrator's report Roger Herried stated that the Urban Forestry Plan is going good. The village's trees have been inventoried and some need to be removed. There are also places that new trees need to be planted. The village will continue with the Arbor Day celebration and will attempt to be named as a tree city USA. Herried also noted that the 2012 audit went very well. He also noted that there is an excellent relationship with the ambulance service. They are very open and let the village know exactly what is going on. They are also very timely and there have been no complaints.

Talent Show in Wonewoc with Skits, Dance and Song

BY TASHA MUELLER

If you were unable to attend Saturday night’s 6th Annual Talent Show at Wonewoc-Center, you were definitely missing out!

Members of the Wonewoc-Center Drama Club were able to put not only a talented show together for the community, but one that raised funds for scholarships to the upcoming graduating class. School members, students and local talented artists joined on stage for a night to not just win a prize, but show off what they do best.

Announcer Emma Jacobson and Palmer Schroeder began the evening but were interrupted by a dynamic duo that entered the stage with overalls and brooms. Spanish teacher, Peggy Bradley and English Teacher Leigh Hembd gained a lot of early laughs through their skit with southern dialect as janitors.

The show then went on as Emma and Palmer introduced a dramatic comedy duet by Sara Benish and Landon Polk to “Disconnect” by John C. Havens. The pair showed plenty of funny emotions trying to get through the performance.

Afterwards, Industrial Technology teacher Rustin Chute had the crowd love his acoustic version of Phillip Phillips song “Home” with a drum line to even accompany him through the second half of the song, which was another surprise to the crowd.

From the new released movie Pitch Perfect, “Bella’s Final” was danced to by Sierra Carlyle, Madisyn Makal, Kaylee Snyder, Megan Thompson and Emily Tracy and proved to be

even better than the performance in the movie. Trio Alana Fry, Marcus Holloway and Carly Shore performed the skit “Up, Up, and Gone” by Ken Bradbury showcasing the pilot falling asleep after taking sleeping pills, mistakenly, as the flight attendant took over the flight while the passenger helped land the plane to safety.

A forthcoming Poetry Reading was performed by the own written works of Barb Mezera that were written for many of her family and friends. Emma Jacobson sang a wonderful rendition of “Forgiveness” by Matthew West with Emma having no problem being able to sing to the crowd.

Virgil Gehri was able to entertain the crowd by playing his accordion during the intermission as the surprise act and special guest appearance were up next. A line formed on the edge of the stage with ladies adorning swimming gear. After the gear came off, the curtain opened up with a blue tarp with the “OctoMoms” performing a synchronized swimming act to Carly Rae Jepson’s song “Call Me Maybe.” After the hilarious performance, the theme song to “Jaws” came on as there was a shark in the water! Most of the swimmers were able to make it out in time.

Once all laughs were calmed down, Landon Polk was able to sing “Holes in the Floor of Heaven” by Steve Wariner. To follow, a piano duet was given by Marilyn Goodenough and Faye Smith to “All Creature of Our God and King” arranged

by Weekley and Arganbright & “El Capitan” by Sousa. Both were able to focus on the dynamics during each piano selection.

Even though announcers Emma Jacobson and Palmer Schroeder were on the stage for most of the evening, they were able to perform “Forensics Marriage” by Kathleen Nelson, which both have been acting together throughout their school years together and portrayed a very believable married couple.

To end the evening, a daughter and mother couple Susan and Leigh Hembd sang a duet rendition to “Heads Carolina”

by JoDee Mesina after singing it for so many years on the road while traveling to and from Kansas.

In the end, audience members were able to cast their ballots to decide on the top four finishers for the evening. Coming in fourth place was duo Sarah Benish and Landon Polk to “Disconnect. In third place, Landon Polk’s solo to “Holes in the Floor of Heaven” as in second was the group of five dancing to “Bella’s Final” from Pitch Perfect. And winning over the acts were announcers Emma Jacobson and Palmer Schroeder with “Forensics Marriage.”

A big thanks to the talent show sponsors: Bank of Wonewoc, Beaver Tile and Carpet, DeNure Insurance Agency (Wonewoc), Fedderly Chrysler Dodge Jeep, Inc.(Reedsburg), Hartje Lumber, Karas Dental, LaValle Telephone Cooperative, Pizza Pub (Wisconsin Dells), Reedsburg Area Medical Center and State Bank of Cazenovia (LaValle).

Alana Fry (left) and Marcus Holloway included a perfect skit called “Up, Up, and Gone” by Ken Bradbury as the pilot (Holloway) later became rather sleepy after taking sleeping pills as flight attendant (Fry) and passenger Carly Shore had to steer the plane into perfect landing.

Surprise act “OctoMoms” adorned swim gear and synchronized swam to “Call Me Maybe” as most were able to swim fast enough to get away from the surprise shark! The group had everyone continually laughing.

Proposed boat slips on Little Yellow River worry some

BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD On Wednesday, January 30, Juneau County was hit hard with a winter storm. Area schools were closed and drivers were warned by the National Weather Service in LaCrosse that traveling would be hazardous and to only travel if there was an emergency. Despite those warnings and heavy snow falling a significant meeting took place in the Town of Germantown. That meeting was held by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and was for the consideration of an application from CP Land Holdings for the development of 130 boat slips on Castle Rock Lake.

The application submitted by Brad Pavloski, owner of CP Landings was received by the DNR on September 17, 2012.

On the application, Dave Wilcox of MSA Professional is listed as the project manager. The site location is identified as the 15th Avenue Marina in the Town of Germantown.

According to notices that appeared in area papers the scope of the proposed project is as follows: "The project is located in the NW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 20, Township 17 North, Range 4 East, Town of Germantown, Juneau County. The site is east of the existing 15th Ave. public boat launch *on the north side of the Little Yellow River portion of Castle Rock Lake.

The proposal consists of 8 structures-ires with 13 boat slips. Each structure would be up to 80 ft long, Seven of the piers would have 8 arms extending to the sides, and one pier would have 9 arms. An existing 80-ft long pier adjacent to the public boat launch would need to be removed."

The January 30th meeting was held as an opportunity for public comment and as part of the application process.

According to records from that meeting, 48 individuals braved the winter storm and attended the morning meeting.

Those records go on to show that of those that did attend,

an opinion poll was taken and only 10 were in opposition of the proposed project while 32 were in support. Four individuals provided no opinion while 2 stated their opinion is undecided at the time.

The documents also show that 18 people provided a statement of which 10 were in opposition. Ron Fox, a resident in the area since 1979, was one of those in attendance who spoke out at the meeting. He shared his concerns which included the water depth at the location where the slips would be constructed. He also stated that he had concerns over current and future foot traffic in the area. He stated he was worried about pollution that could occur and how it would affect the fisheries. The others who spoke out against the project shared much of the same concerns.

Among those speaking in support of the project were Brad Pavloski and David Specht, a former town board member.

Specht stated that he had fielded many calls in support of the project and from people who wanted information on renting a boat slip.

The DNR has a lot to consider when reviewing an application. According to information from their office they will need to consider if the pier will obstruct navigation, will it be detrimental to public interest, and will it materially reduce the flood flow capacity of a stream. As to the public interest they are to take into account matters such as natural beauty; fish; game and wildlife; water quality; navigation; and adequacy of design of structures like bridges or culverts.

While the timeframe for public comment expired 10 days after the January 30th meeting, the DNR still has until February 19 to make a decision. Overseeing the application process from the DNR is Will Stites. If you have questions regarding the application process Stites email address is Will.Stites@Wisconsin.gov.

This past week the Necedah Lady Cardinals played two games. On Tuesday, February 5th they hosted the Montello Hilltoppers in a non-conference game. On Thursday, February seventh it was the Wonewoc-Center Wolves that were hosted.

While the Lady Cardinals wound up losing both games, you could see a definite improvement in their play. Having a losing season, coach Lowery is playing the younger girls to give them more experience and getting them ready to take over next year. The starting team consists of mostly ninth and tenth grade players with maybe one senior. These girls look great at the beginning of the game but are not experienced to play an entire game at the higher level that is needed to win.

In the game against Montello the first quarter score was 11 - 10 with Montello holding the one point lead. By the end of the half Montello had increased the lead to nine points 29 20. They again expanded the lead to 47 - 30 at the end of the third quarter and wound winning by a nineteen point spread 64 - 45.

The game against the Wolves was much the same, although the first half was even closer than the Montello game. The first quarter ended in an 11 -11 tie and at half time it was still only a five point game with the Wolves leading the Lady Cardinals 22 - 17. The second half was not good for the Lady Cardinals as they got behind by a score of 32 - 21 in the third quarter. However, the fourth quarter was their complete undoing by only scoring five points while allowing the Wolves to score fourteen. Thus they wound up losing the game by twenty points 46 - 26.

The younger girls are doing their best and by next season they should be a well rounded, cohesive team.

New Lisbon School news

BY DENNIS BIRR NEW LISBON SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT Monday night the New Lisbon School Board voted to suspend student fees for a second year. Last year the board had made a similar decision for the 2012-2013 school year. After cost savings measures that have been implemented in the past two years, the District felt it is in position at this time to not require students to pay fees for the 2013-2014 school year. The District will be able to balance the school budget for 2013-2014 without any budget cuts, even without collecting any student fees.

As costs continue to rise, it is possible that fees will return, but for next year the District wanted to show their appreciation to parents and students and give them a break by not charging fees as has been the practice in past years.

The New Lisbon School District is looking for community input.

VISION 20/20 So many things have been pushed on schools in the last couple of years, but as a District we don't want to simply react to what we are asked to do by others. We would like to also set our own course for where we want the School District of New Lisbon to be by the year 2020. What do we

want for our current 5th graders, the class of 2020. Perfect vision is 20/20, so Vision 20/20 is the title of these conversations. Administration has met with school staff to begin this conversation. Over the past few months they have had similar conversations with other district stakeholders such as students, School Board and the New Lisbon Chamber of Commerce. Now they would like to hear from the community.

The community is invited to attend this Vision 20/20 conversation on Thursday February 21st at 5:30 pm in the school district library. The intention is that this conversation would help us think about where we want to be down the road. It is a little bit dreaming, a little bit realistic planning for what we believe New Lisbon Schools should become. It will be a very open ended discussion. We will simply ask what you think. What this is not is a chance to complain, but a conversation that should be about much bigger picture topics.

We hope many of you will come with your knowledge of New Lisbon, our students and an awareness of the challenges that will face our students in the future and ideas of how we might be able to prepare them for that future. We are a small school district but our students have big dreams! We can help them achieve those dreams.

Throwing the ball back in to many ready players during the game against Wonewoc Center.

Paws for Lilly upcoming fundraiser

BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD On Saturday, March 2, a chili feed fundraiser will be held at the Necedah Veteran's Hall on behalf of an on going effort called Paws for Lilly. As reported in the Messenger just a few months ago, Paws for Lilly is an on going fundraiser to help 2 year old Lilly attain an assistance dog to help alert her and her family of on-coming seizures.

Lilly's mother, Christina Bavinck is a former Necedah High School graduate, and has been working diligently at keeping the awareness and effort alive. Daily she provides updates on a Facebook page dedicated to Lilly and her need for a seizure dog.

According to Christina, Lilly has had seizures since she was a baby. The seizures occur on the left frontal lobe of her brain. Her seizures

can last as short as few seconds up or as long as 20 minutes. The symptoms she displays range from starring episodes to seizures that resemble having a stroke or shaking. She has been treated with medications but as of yet they are not helping them.

"She seems to have more seizures while she is sleeping. Her last EEG showed some slow brain waves. This dog will alert our family if she is going to have a seizure. It will wake us up it the middle of the night if Lilly is going to have a seizure. The dog will also calm her during stressful situations such as medical testing or even when she become cranky from her medications or from having a seizure," said Christina.

Trained ability dogs come at a high price. The family needs to raise $13,000 to

help cover the cost of the dog and the specialized training. While that amount may seem steep, in speaking with 4 Paws for Ability founder, Karen Shirk, she explained that in all actuality the cost to train an ability dong can range from $22,000 and upwards of $46,000.

"On average the dogs have 500 hours of training," said Shirk. "That training can mean the difference between life or death of a child."

At the March 2 fundraiser in Necedah there will not only be a chili feed but also a silent auction and a bake sale. The event will run from Noon until 3:00 p.m. If you are unable to attend the chili feed but would still like to donate to Paws for Lilly an account has been set up at the Bank of Mauston.

Donations can be accepted at any one of their branches.

Union Center turns 100 years old

2013 4-H SPEAKING AND DEMONSTRATION CONTEST Juneau County 4-H offers an annual Speaking & Demonstration Contest in which members from Kindergarten through one year post high school practice their presentation skills. The Speaking Contest includes prose, poetry, and original speeches. Youth participants choose their favorite option, enter the contest, and then hone public speaking skills by presenting their piece. 4-H graduates often report that Speaking & Demonstration Contest provided them with the skills they later needed to meet postsecondary educational speaking requirements, the interviews needed to launch their careers, and with ongoing leadership throughout their working lives.

The Demonstration Contest offers youth the opportunity to teach others by explaining "how to", including active demonstrations where the audience practices the skill being demonstrated. Youth contestants aged 12 and above, may also enter

their demonstrations in the Wisconsin State Fair, where they experience a statewide audience as well as meeting individuals from throughout the Midwest.

Orange Mills 4-H Club, Hustler, coordinated the Speaking & Demonstration Contest at the Hustler Community Hall on Saturday, January 12. Carole Bradley is the General Leader of the club which recently celebrated its 65th anniversary.

Settlement began at Union Center when loggers and farmers moved up the Baraboo Valley in the late 1850's. The arrival of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad in 1872 brought many businesses and residents. Among those businesses were two saw mills, a hotel, creamery, blacksmith, drug store and two general stores.

The most important among them was the saw mill started

by Forbes and Thompson in 1857, but is most remembered as the Sleeper Mill. Charles Sleeper took over the mill shortly after it was built and ran it until the 1880's.

Along with the mill of Henry Barney, it provided building materials for both local farmers and the nucleus for a small settlement. Along with boards, timbers and railroad, ties, Barney's and Sleeper’s mills cut hop poles that were sold by Union Center's leading merchant, M. M. Corsaw.

Hop poles were used in the growing of the hop plants in which the vine climbed these 14 ft to 18 ft poles and were harvested in the fall for their scaly, cone-like flower used in the making of beer. Although the craze ended in the late 1860's, hops were still grown in Juneau County and Corsaw reportedly sold an average of $12,000 worth of poles in the 1870's.

In 1859, the post office opened with Emerson Barrows being the first postmaster. There were two churches built, the Catholic Church in 1863 and the Methodist Church in 1884.

At one time there was a local newspaper here called the "Union Center Herald Statesman" that ran from 1882-1895.

The railroad brought H. Schueneman to Union Center and he opened the village's only hotel-saloon in 1873.

This little community remained largely as it was until 1903 when the Hillsboro and North Eastern Railroad constructed what was called "the nation's shortest" short rail line five miles up the valley to Hillsboro. The short line gave Hillsboro a rail link with the rest of the nation and stimulated trade in Union Center. Merchants stock headed for Hillsboro passed through Union Center as did farm goods and lumber, while travelers spent the night there.

Also in 1903, Rural Free Delivery was established from the Union Center Post Office going west and returning area 23 sq. miles. James Healy was appointed carrier on Route 1 from Union Center.

The Village of Union Center was incorporated in January of 1913 and according to the 1913 minutes there were 224 residents. In February, Union Center held it's first election for village officers to serve until the spring election in April.

In April, the same officers were sworn into office; President - E.B. Sicles; Trustees - N. Blakeman, G. Asby, E. Stager, F. J. Ganswer, F. Peters, and A. H. Raynor; Clerk – Wm. Dobbs; Treasurer – P. E. Corsaw.

If anyone has any additional information or pictures pertaining to the Village of Union Center, please contact Linda Scott at 608-462-5814. A "Centennial" celebration is being planned for June 8, 2013. Watch for further articles.

Hillsboro Lions host District Convention

BY EILEEN NALE It was hard to find a place to park in Hillsboro on Saturday, as the streets were filled with Lions. They were not the four legged lions, but rather the two legged that are the first to jump into action when help is needed. There were Lions from all over the state that listened to speakers share their stories as to what they can do to help their fellow man.

The crowded streets were caused by the Hillsboro Lions hosting the District 27-D2 Convention on Friday, February 8 and Saturday, February 9. Stenerson Bus service was also bussing people back and forth from Hotel Hillsboro and the Hillsboro Fireman’s Community Center where the event was held.

Three of the Hillsboro Lions members received the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award. This award is by the Lions International, which recognizes outstanding individuals

for their good deeds and awards them with the distinguish award in honor of its founder, Melvin Jones. This Fellowship Award (LCIF) is the highest form of recognition and embodies humanitarian ideas consistent with the nature and purpose of Lionism. The recipient of this award becomes a model because of the exemplary service to his club and the community for which it serves. Those that received the award were three from the Hillsboro Lions, that being Liz Johnson, Carl Baller and Alann Skemp. They were overwhelmed and honored and left speechless.

Barb Knopf who is the owner of Veterans and Horse Therapy Project spoke about the many abused horses that she has taken in and how the military men that come back from overseas find so much comfort in helping themselves heal inside as they help the horse heal on the outside. There was a veteran there that people could speak to.

Lion Steve Johnson was one of the heart warming speak-

ers who has a leader dog to help him around. Steve lost his sight due to childhood diabetes and this is the second dog he has had.

Daniel Heitman was also a speaker who came to thank the Lions, as he has had his third eye transplant, and without the Lions he would not have been able to see. His first eye transplant was in 1976 and he stated that it is so much easier to do this surgery now. He is now a teacher in Viroqua.

Vernon County Sherriff John Spears, who is also a Lion, expressed his concern in the area with the use of heroin. He gave an in depth speech that was a wake up call to all of the Lions. He stated the day that it can’t happened in our community is gone.

There were over 200 in attendance that went home with a good feeling knowing that by being a Lion they have helped so many people.

Yuba Polkas into its 137th Masopust

BY TASHA MUELLER Masopust, known as Mardi Gras Czech-style, has once again made its way to Yuba for the 137th consecutive year this past weekend at D & D’s Pub. Mardi Gras, or “Carnival” can be seen celebrated around the world. The combination of old fertility rites and customs, like driving out winter, were documented in early mythology and primitive drawings.

Yuba became a large farming community with many Czech descendants who have a proud heritage. In the Czech Republic, people celebrate a season of merrymaking and masquerading called Masopust, meaning “good-bye to meat.”

In the past, Masopust was an official holiday of feasting, especially during the last few days of the holiday as people were able to feast before the somber days of Lent. During the two day period, families were able to have huge dinner parties. Then, during the long 40 days of Lent, people mostly ate baked potatoes, lentils, eggs, cheese and boiled semolina

(wheat pasta).

Masopust plays into the common roles of saying goodbye to winter, the beginning of spring and preparing for Lent by saying “good-bye to meat.”

Throughout few regions of the Czech Republic, a ceremonial procession of masks, whose significance and symbolism are not well known nowdays, were part of the festivity going through the village with music. While noisily singing, shouting and dancing, the costumed characters made their way from house to house and were treated to food and drink.

The procession then ended in the pub, where the eating, drinking and merrymaking often continued until morning.

Yuba never had the village procession with costumed characters, but has been holding onto the Masopust tradition for the past 137 years. In earlier years, many came to Masopust, or known in Yuba as the “Two Day Dance” wearing masks to the Masquerade Ball and a dance floor above the bar. This year, there was unfortunately no masked characters, but plenty of polka dancing during the afternoon ball.

Hank Dedrick from Spring Green has been playing polkas and waltzes at D & D’s Pub in Yuba for the Masquerade Ball of the annual Two Day Dance for the past 66 years. Dedrick explained that tradition has never gotten old on him and will continue to play for as long as possible.

Ralph Roberts was able to play alongside Hank Dedrick keeping the polka beat during an afternoon of “Masquerading” at the 137th Masopust.

Starting out the weekend, a DJ was planned for Friday night and started off the weekend right. On Saturday, a Masquerade Ball was held with Hank Dedrick and Ralph Roberts playing polkas and waltzes that made the crowd get up and dance their known dances. Dedrick has been playing at Yuba’s Masopust for an outstanding 66 years and still counting traveling from Spring Green. Tradition never grows old!

During the evening, The Whiskey River Band, featuring 50’s, 60’s and country music will finish the Two Day Dance festivities.

A Czech folk saying advises that at the end of Masopust or “fool’s days,” nobody shall get married, otherwise both of the married couple will go mad. The one who works during Masopust too much will be ill during the summer.

Hopefully no one did either of these before or during Masopust, and remember to go to Sog’s for great music and fun for next year’s 138th Two Day Dance.

Many couples were able to hit the dance floor for plenty of polka and waltzes classics.

School safety top priority in Hillsboro

BY TASHA MUELLER

Monday night’s regular Hillsboro School Board Meeting became rather lengthy with the major concern being how the district is going to become safer for not only students but also parents and community members.

The idea is coming from the mass school shooting that occurred on December 14, 2012 that took the lives of 20 innocent children at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conneticut.

Chief Richardson and Sergeant Clark were present for the meeting stating their concerns on what the district should do to make the school a safer place for everyone coming in and out of both elementary and high school buildings.

Currently, the main doors in front of each building are left unlocked throughout the day. An option is a buzz-in system with an overhead camera so the secretary would know who exactly is outside the door. Where the secretaries are concerned over is “what if” there was a person agitated and there wasn’t enough time to get the word out to the school.

The expense would be more or less $1500 for each building to get the system installed.

Other options are being considered for the district. Also, all cameras that are used in the school will be able to be seen from the squad car and officers would be able to unlock the doors as they please.

Chief Richardson supports the buzzer system and believes it’d be a good idea for the school. The Hillsboro School District has never had a “hard lockdown”, besides “soft lockdowns” with K-9 dogs. Both Richardson and Clark went to the New Lisbon School District and watched how their lockdown took place. After a school shooting at Weston, just miles from New Lisbon, the district put in place a buzzer system, which has been effective so far and files people into the main office.

During the New Lisbon lockdown, Richardson mentioned that all lights were off throughout the building with all classroom doors locked and also classroom lights off where students would be able to hide.

Both officers have made regulations to see what will need to be seen and happened during the hard lockdown on Thursday, February 21. The High School will begin at 9 am and Elementary at roughly 10 am.

Personal wants to perform the lockdown to know what will and won’t work and what will need to be changed.

Elementary Principal Cara Wood expressed the concern that there isn’t enough staff to let people in throughout the entire day.” The staff is constantly already doing a lot and are already pressed to their limits.”

There are pros and cons to the system that will be discussed throughout the next weeks even though the board did not motion to purchase a system during the meeting.

“History changed on December 14,” said Superintendent Curt Bisarek.

Elementary Report After attending an AWSA Conference, Elementary Principal Cara Wood learned about the level of change and Common Core standards. Specific needs to the district are changes that will be happening in the future, mostly revolving what teachers need in the classroom whether it be focused towards the new math standards to technology advancements.

Currently, districts are using more iPads throughout their classroom involvement, as Hillsboro has 24 available in the computer lab. During a needed keyboard assessment for 3rd graders, Hillsboro wasn’t able to take part in it because the current 3rd graders are taking the course just this year. Looking into next year, it is possible that the 2nd grade class will be taking the keyboard class to fulfill requirements for the standards. It could take anywhere between three to five years before all material is ready to go for the Common Core Standards.

“Looking at the needs towards the level and focus,” stated Wood “we need to be addressing the material that will be needed.

All of these changes are needed for the future of our students.”

Tiger Pride sponsored a snowshoeing day on February 4 with SOAC, the 100th day of school was on Tuesday, February 12 as kids were able to celebrate with class parties, a dome theater presentation will be on Thursday, February 14 focusing on science videos on an inflatable 360 degree projection and is funded by the Milk MooLa and Boxtops money raised. There is no school on Friday, February 15 and an in-service day on Friday, March 1. Muffins with Mom is scheduled for Friday, February 22 with well over 300 signed up.

High School Report The Spelling Bee took place on Tuesday, February 12 with Nick Stekel in 1st place and Drew Bisarek in 2nd. Also, a Geography Bee was held with 1st place going to Zack Woods and 2nd place to Zach O’ Hair.

Stephanie Munson and Mercedes Anderson both have paintings on display in a Student Art Show in the UW-Richland Wallace Student Center from now until February 23. Their pieces are also on display with other local high school art.

An Anti-Bullying and Cyber-Bullying presentation with Paul Gasser and Sue Zimmerman from St. Joseph’s/Gunderson Lutheran will be preparing a presentation for

Hillsboro takes three to Sectionals in Mineral Point

BY TASHA MUELLER The Hillsboro wrestling team will be taking three individuals to the sectional meet this Saturday in Mineral Point.

Moving on from regional action include Max Sebranek, Jake Stockwell and Spencer Treu.

Sebranek dominated the 182 weight class after pinning Joe Arbanas from Necedah in 5:09 for the 1st place match, while during the semifinal, Sebranek faced Cashton’s Michael Ladaikain 1:08.

Jake Stockwell stopped the competition in the 195 weight class. For the 1st place match, Stockwell was able to win by decision over Brookwood’s Chris Westerman with a final score of 7-2. During the semifinal, Stockwell also won by decision over New Lisbon’s Jay

Turner with a final of 3-1.

Spencer Treu found a difficult time to get to the title in his weight class of 160.

During the 1st place match, Treu wasn’t able to find the title over Cashton’s Brandon Schmitz as the decision final was 3-1 in Schmitz’s favor.

Treu ended up facing Royall’s Mark Preuss as Treu found a final rule decision as was able to break away a 2nd place finish moving on to Mineral Point.

An additional Tiger that placed during the day was Mitch Beckwith at 113 pounds with 5th place.

NOTICE OF SPRING PRIMARY AND SAMPLE BALLOT February 19, 2013 OFFICE OF THE JUNEAU COUNTY CLERK TO THE ELECTORS OF JUNEAU COUNTY Notice is hereby given of a spring primary election to be held in Juneau County on February 19, 2013, at which the officers named below shall be nominated. The names of the candidates for each office, whose nominations have been certified to or filed in this office, are given under the title of the office, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, in the sample ballot below.

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

At the spring primary election, where paper ballots are used, the elector shall make a cross (X) in the square next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote.

Where touch screen voting systems are used, the elector shall touch the screen next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the elector shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote.

The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than five minutes' time shall be allowed inside a voting booth. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the elector in casting his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

If the elector spoils a paper, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one elector. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the elector shall return it to the election official, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place. After casting his or her vote, the elector shall leave the voting booth, properly deposit the ballot and promptly leave the polling place.

The elector may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station before the ballot is cast.

After an official paper ballot is marked, it shall be folded so the inside marks do not show, but so the printed endorsements and inspectors' initials on the outside do show. The elector shall leave the booth, deposit the ballot in the ballot box, or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit, and shall leave the polling place promptly.

After an official touch screen ballot is cast, the elector shall leave the polling place promptly.

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

Nonsense from Nancy

Comment

B O

BY NANCY J SCHNEIDER Sometimes I’m really out of touch with what’s going on in the world. I guess it’s because it really doesn’t matter in some situations. For instance I didn’t really know that television was on all night. I mean if I only stay up till 11 PM how would I know that?

But I did find out although I can’t tell you what’s on the television in the wee hours of the night, just that something was on there. I was sitting in the kitchen waiting for the phone to ring. It was late. I needed the sound of something to keep me company. Usually I like the quiet, but this night I needed things to seem normal. Normal around here is the television on because Ray always liked to watch it. But Ray wasn’t here. He was in the hospital. Not normal at all. It all started Tuesday January 29th around 4 PM. He had taken the dogs out. I was making supper.

Next thing I knew he was in the doorway shooting blood from his head, nose, mouth and ear. I said “What happened?” “I fell.”

“Where?” “Outside.” “Outside where?” A pause then “I don’t know.” Now for those of you who may not know, Ray is a rather stubborn man. I got him to the kitchen chair and ran to get peroxide and cotton. Sometimes head injuries will bleed like a sucker but aren’t really that bad. As soon as I got his hands away from his face I knew it was more than just a bump on the noggin. “You have to go to the hospital.” “I ain’t going to no hospital. Just clean it up.” Yea, right. Like I’m a miracle worker. After trying to clean it, I finally said, “Ray you have to let me take you to the hospital cause you have a hole in your head!” It took me 15 minutes to get him to agree and then get him in the car. All I could do was pray because I’m not the worlds best driver on ice and it was getting dark but I had to take him. So I did. I gave him a washcloth that was soaked in peroxide to hold on his head and off we went. I did remember to turn off the stove and tell the dogs we’d be back but that’s about it. At this point I’d like to say that the Hess Memorial ER in Mauston did a great job. They took

him in immediately and started running tests.

Bottom line is everything they told me turned out to be exactly what was wrong.

However, they said because of the severity of his injuries he needed to be in a Trauma Center. They sent him by ambulance to UW in Madison. That’s why I was sitting in the kitchen looking at a television and recycling coffee. Waiting - waiting for UW to call me and let me know he got there. Meanwhile I didn’t let Wendy know this was going on because she was in class up in La Crosse and I didn’t want her to worry and have to drive back upset. But that kid of mine, she has ESP or something because she called my cell and said, “What’s wrong?” I was flabbergasted and asked her how she knew something was wrong. She said, “I just got this feeling something was wrong so I’m calling. Now tell me.” So of course I did. Eventually UW called to let me know Ray arrived with no complications during the trip and that they would keep contact with me. There wasn’t much I could do, so I tried to sleep. My husband doesn’t do anything half way I guess.

He really did a “smash up” job. He has a shattered left elbow, fractured right wrist, traumatic brain injury, and extensive facial fractures. He looks like a semi hit him. They gave me three sheets explaining his injuries and I can’t understand any of it really. I know from seeing him he has memory loss for sure. They tell me it will come back gradually, but it’s scary. I’m sure it’s scary for him, too. So we take it one day at a time. So many kind people have added him to their prayers and offered their help and I’m eternally grateful. No matter how big our problems are our God is bigger. We will get through this.

So until next week if I can concentrate enough to write I’ll leave you with this NOnonsense thought: You should appreciate what you have before it becomes what you had. n Nancy J Schneider is a member of The Wisconsin Regional Writers Association and writes freelance.

Bill’s Corner

Page 19

Math Tutor for Hire

BY BILL SMITH The big news over the past weekend was the blizzard that dropped snow on New York City and came on with full force in Boston. CNN ended up putting most of their top reporters outside in various locations throughout the area affected by the storm, and kept up their reports through Friday night and into Saturday morning. They managed to give us a feeling of the amount of snow the storm was bringing and the discomfort it created. One of the wisest decisions concerning the storm were those made by several governors to declare all roads and streets closed during the height of the storm. I am sure that if dire penalties had not been promised there would have been too many who felt the need to prove their driving skills by getting to a destination on snow-filled streets and freeways. Many of them were almost certain to end up in an accident--or just get stuck in deepening snow--and that put that road or street completely out use until wreckers could find their way there.The storm hit over-populated areas, many of which were still recovering from the effects of a hurricane last summer.

The blizzard happened when two storm systems combined.

We, here in Juneau County, got a bit of snow from one of those systems, which provided the cold weather that helped make the massive blizzard while the other came up the east coast and the combined in time to effect Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. The snow will eventually melt, of course, and governments will try to figure out how to cover the additional expenses created by the storm. While the northeast was still trying out to get rid of the excess snow, a tornado developed in the deep south and made a mess of a Mississippi city. More cleanup costs for a local government. More than once over the years I have noted in this column that there is little man can build that will stand up to nature. We certainly were reminded of that this past week. These events make me wonder how earlier generations that did not have the benefits of instant communication and all kinds of construction equipment and materials managed to recover from acts of nature such as a great blizzard or a tornado. I am thankful they did, of course, and it makes me realize just how resourceful the human race is.

Taking Refuge

An Outdoorsman’s Journal

BY STEVE NORLING

It is a great time for all winter lovers to come out to the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge. We finally have enough snow for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. As I have stated before all of the trails are open to both. There are snowshoes to check out at the visitor center. Come on out and get some exercise and check out the refuge in the winter.

Those of you who will be coming to the visitor center might want to notice the old headquarters building. No windows, no roof, no trusses, no doors and not much of anything. The tearing down of the building is going fairly well.

The Mauston Restore, which is part of Habitat for Humanity is the company tearing it down. They will be recycling as much of the remains through their store as possible. This is a great way to recycle things and at the same time help people that are in need of housing.

This month’s focus group will be meeting on Saturday, February 23rd. This month’s discussion will be on “Animal Sign”. This will entail discussions of finding sign such as tracks and scat and photographing them. This is a growing group of photographers and they have a great time discussing digital wildlife and scenic photography and helping each other to learn more about it. They meet the fourth Saturday of each month at 8:00 AM and the meeting lasts for about an hour. After that it is time to go out on the refuge and take pictures is you so desire. Young and old, skilled or unskilled, all are welcome. Just grab your camera and come on to the next meeting.

Everyone is starting to look forward to the whooping cranes returning. I know it is a little early to expect them back but there are a lot of things to prepare for when they do.

Brad Strobel, the biologist who replaced Rich King, is currently working on getting some interns for the summer season. He is also working on different things to try to make the crane nesting more successful. The adoption program that we experimented with last year with sandhill cranes has been put on hold for a year to try a couple of other methods. I will let you know more as the season progresses. Right now it is just writing up plans and getting them approved.

Remember too, the “Junior Duck Stamp Contest is coming up soon. March 29th is the judging date and that is not to far away. If you need any more info on the contest call Kara Zwickey at 608-565-2551. It is a great contest and teaches the youngsters not only about art, but about conservation also.

Ice fishing is still open on Sprague and Goose Pools and on Harvey’s Pond and Suk Cerney Flowage. It will close on March 15th on Sprague and Goose due to them being very important to migrating waterfowl and shorebirds.

I thought that this week I would talk a little about gray (timber) wolves. As you know they are no longer considered an endangered species in Wisconsin. We have just gone through our first wolf hunting and trapping season. This says a lot about the way Wisconsin has allowed the wolf population to grow. They are well over the carrying capacity that the DNR set up for them.

I do not know how many of you have seen wolves on the refuge but they are a beautiful sight. I have been lucky enough to see them a number of times including one sighting of a black wolf. Most wolves weigh between 50 and 100 pounds, are much taller than a coyote and have tracks that are as large or larger than most dogs and definitely bigger that coyote tracks. There are from one to three packs on the refuge at any one time. The fact that they cover a lot of territory keeps them off the refuge as much as on it. Most packs contain from three to five or seven animals with one of them being the alpha male. Many times a secondary male will break off from the pack and take a couple of females with him and thereby starting a new pack. Wolves are very interesting animals and have much bad publicity. They are part of the wild landscape and we should appreciate them. However, they do need to be kept to a reasonable number to balance all other wildlife. I may have more about wolves next week.

Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”

Hello friends, Winter camping on the frozen waters of the Mississippi River, and ice fishing, is one of my favorite pastimes. I have camped on the ice all over the upper Midwest since 1990, and this trip would be the first without a golden retriever to pull a sled and be my companion in camp. Fire is at home with her ten pups and they are all doing extremely well.

Monday, January 28th High 23, low 7 So I have these three Otter Sleds of which one is huge and all three are fully loaded with gear. I am parked on a backwater of the Mississippi near Trempealeau, at a spot I have never been to before. My plan is to pull the sleds out to a location where I can catch both panfish and northern pike.

I decide to save time and pull all three sleds together.

Before I have gone 200-yards, I am lathered in sweat but too stubborn to quit. I focus on a fisherman who will become my informant. Shortly before I reach my new friend, who is catching very nice crappies, he says “hey I know you”. My new friend/informant, Larry Klinkenberg has been reading this column in The Sparta Herald for years, Larry helps me pull my gear and tells me where to set up camp.

First, I put out two tip ups for gators and a dead stick with a fathead for crappie, than I go to work setting up camp.

Soon it is dark and I have caught and released two, 23-inch northern pike!

I try jigging for crappie from my shack with minimal success. At ten-ish, I hit my cot, nestle into my double sleeping bag combo and that same instant a major thunderstorm began; it literally scared my pants off me when it first hit.

Tuesday, January 29th High 42, low 32 I was on the ice long before first light, with a plan of catching some slab crappie and hopefully a big gator. As soon as I started jigging, the crappie and gills were hungry and I was living large. I fished for three hours without stopping, and wearing no gloves when I had a flag and got into a tussle with a good-sized gator on one of my tipups. The gator kept pulling my line into weeds and testing my 30pound-braided leader. When I finally pulled its head out of the water, my right hand was dysfunctional and the mid-30s fish slipped down the hole, got snagged on some weeds, and cut my line, I re-rigged with a 65-pound leader and reset the tip up.

At 1:00, I had a 30-inch gator on the ice and 18 very pretty panfish in my bucket. I knew I was staying another day and so I made a tough decision. Pull my jig pole and replace it with a 3rd tip up (three line limit). I wanted a big gator and had already caught six today so I knew the bite was on.

The flags were quiet for a while but the last hour of daylight they were trippin and I had big hopes. Just before dark, a screamer hit one of my minnows and was taking all of my line towards the Gulf of Mexico. The fight was on, took a long time, and in the end I pulled a big, fat pigasauras out of the Mississippi River, and was once again reminded how important it is to have goals.

I just about forgot to tell ya that the holes drilled in my shack have created a river from all the water on the top of the ice draining into them, that is how I woke up this morning and a whole bunch of my clothes got soaked as well the end of my sleeping bag.

Tonight I was basking in the glory of a great day when my cell phone went off and a friend of mine told me about the big storm that was about to hit.

I asked for details, and my friend went on her computer and read that hard rain was gonna hit at ten. Freezing rain at midnight, with 30 mile- per- hour winds, and 6-10 inch’s of snow by 9:00 the next morning.

I was faced with a difficult decision, I knew I could ruin my 14-foot Eskimo “Fat Fish” portable ice shack if I took it down in that kind of wind. I did what I had to do and broke camp in the dark.

I made it home just before midnight, forgot to shower, and said a prayer that it would stay cold until March 30th!

Love this job! Sunset

Big gators like this are a blast to catch!

Wonewoc Craft Show at Chapparal

BY EILEEN NALE

Several rooms were full of crafts, vendors and a lot of sweet treats for the shoppers that stopped by at Club Chapparal on Saturday, February 9th.

This is one of many successful events that they have had in the past year. There were over 20 vendors alone, with each being unique and different from the other. The Friends of The Wonewoc Library had 3 tables of every kind of solution to

W-C Youth Basketball host 7th & 8th grade tournament

BY BRUCE SHROEDER The Wonewoc-Center Youth Basketball Program is again sponsoring the WJCI Wonewoc-Center Boys 7th & 8th Grade Boys Basketball team in it's tournament entries. This year's team is led by 8th graders Elliot Jacobsen, Phil Snyder, Walker Shore and Kyle Helm. 7th grader Noah Shore is also playing along with 6th graders Korey Helm, Andrew Jacobsen, Dylan Degner, Sawyer Frick and Taylor Geitz. 5th graders, Dawson Miller and Tucker Needham are also participating.

This year's first tournament was held at Wonewoc - Center on February 2nd. Other participants were Hillsboro, Royall, Ithaca, Kickapoo and Seneca.

The 7th graders first game was against the neighboring rival Hillsboro Tigers. Hillsboro jumped out to a quick lead in this one but the Wolves hung in there with some gritty defense and some timely scoring. By the middle of the 2nd half, the WJCI team had taken the lead and hung on down the stretch as the Wolves won by a score of 25-20.

Noah Shore and Korey Helm led the scoring for the Wolves in this one with Shore knocking down 9 points and Helm scoring 8.

Taylor Geitz followed with 4 points and Andrew Jacobsen and Dawson Miller each had 2 to round out the scoring.

The 2nd game of the day for the 7th graders was against another neighborhood rival, the Royall Panthers. Wonewoc-Center came ready to play in this one against a strong Panther line-up. The Wolves went inside effectively in this one in the first half to draw some early fouls on Royall. In a light scoring, but well played first half, the Wolves led at the break by a score of 13 - 8. Some great defensive ball pressure from guards Andrew Jacobsen, Tucker Needham and Dawson Miller along with some stellar rebounding and inside play from Noah Shore, Taylor Geitz, Korey Helm, and Dylan Degner contributed to the Wolves best half of the tournament.

The 2nd half was a gutsy, grind it out game from both teams. Royall finally took the lead from the Wolves in the last two minutes and the Wolves could not get the lead back.

The Panthers won the game by a final score of 21 - 19.

Taylor Geitz and Noah Shore led the charge in this one for the Wolves with Geitz racking up 7 points and Shore putting in 6. Andrew Jacobsen, Korey Helm and Dawson Miller each had 2 to complete the scoring.

The 3rd game of the day for the WJCI team came against the Kickapoo Panthers. This game also would turn into a barn burner.

The W-C squad played well right from the start in this one also as the Wolves jumped out to a quick lead. By the middle of the 2nd half, the Wolves held a seemingly strong 24 - 14 lead. But back came the Panthers as they started to knock down some shots that

they had missed earlier in the game.

Wonewoc-Center's offense also went cold down the stretch, but some hustling defense down the stretch preserved the win for the Wolves as they squeaked out a 26 - 25 victory.

Noah Shore carried the load for the Wolves in this one with 12 points. Korey Helm also had a solid game with 6 points. Andrew Jacobsen, Taylor Geitz, Dylan Degner and Dawson Miller each nailed 2 points to round out the scoring for the WJCI squad.

The last 7th grade game of the day came against a tall and athletic Ithaca Bulldog team. For our 7th grade squad, this was their 6th game of the day as they were also all playing on the 8th grade team.

The weariness finally caught up to the Wolves in this one as Ithaca dominated from the beginning and cruised to a 44 - 10 win over the Wolves.

Korey Helm scored 6 for Wonewoc-Center in this one and Noah Shore scored 4.

The leaders in assists and steals for the Wolves for the day were Andrew Jacobsen, Noah Shore, Tucker Needham and Dawson Miller.

Leading rebounders for the day were Taylor Geitz, Noah Shore, Korey Helm and Dylan Degner.

By finishing 2 - 2 for the day, the 7th graders did take home the bronze 3rd place medals for the tournament. The championship game pitted the Royall Panthers against the Ithaca Bulldogs. After a tie at halftime of 4 - 4, the Royall Panthers took control in the 2nd half to cruise to a 19 - 7 win for the tourney championship.

The 8th grade team for the Wolves started out against the Ithaca Bulldogs. The Wolves were outsized, outnumbered and outplayed by the strong, fast Bulldog team from the start and lost by a score of 57 -13. Elliot Jacobsen gutted out a strong performance for the Wolves in this one with 7 points. Walker Shore and Korey Helm each had 2 points and Phil Snyder and Taylor Geitz each had 1 point to round out the scoring.

The other 8th grade game for WonewocCenter came against the Seneca Indians.

Seneca also put out a strong team and cruised to a 54 - 19 win over the Wolves.

Walker Shore had a strong game in this one and led the Wolves in scoring with 10 points.

Elliot Jacobsen had 4 points along with a strong floor game. Taylor Geitz followed with 3 points and Korey Helm rounded out the scoring with 2.

Elliot Jacobsen, Andrew Jacobsen and Noah Shore led the team in assists and steals.

Walker Shore, Phil Snyder, Kyle Helm, Taylor Geitz and Korey Helm led the Wolves in rebounding in this one.

Ithaca won the 8th grade championship with a 1 point win over Seneca.
