THE AWARD WINNING OFFICIAL LEGAL NEWSPAPER OF JUNEAU COUNTY THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2014
$1.00
County settles with former employee after seizure BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD At Tuesday's morning meeting of the Juneau County Board of Supervisors, the county agreed to enter into a settlement agreement with a former employee regarding injuries he claimed were the result of work place related injuries. According to the settlement agreement, Josh Czys filed a claim alleging that the County violated his legal rights by failing to accommodate his epilepsy. In his claim he sought damages for personal physical injuries sustained during a seizure at work as well as for lost wages and benefits. The County denies that there was any merit to Czys's claim and further denies they violated his legal rights. They entered into the agreement under the clause of non admission of liability or wrong doing in that execution of the agreement shall not be interpreted as wrong doing. The reason given for entering into the agreement, despite the county's claims of no wrong doing, is that litigation costs would exceed the terms of the settlement agreement. As per the agreement the County of Juneau will pay Czys the sum of $11,000 to compensate him for personal physical injuries sustained arising from having a seizure at work on February 1, 2012. The County will also pay Czys $2,000 in compensation for lost earnings which will be subject to deductions for income and employment taxes. The agreement goes on to state that Czys's legal representation, William Cunningham, will be paid by the County a sum of $4,000. If Czys enters into the agreement and signs it, he will release the County from any claims arising any time before the parties sign the agreement. The agreement does not waive Czys's right to benefits under any worker's compensation law, vested retirement, or rights under the agreement.

Regulations may curb school fundraisers BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Next school year United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations may impact just what fundraisers occur during the school day as any foods sold must meet the very same strict guidelines which dictate school lunches and snacks. Mauston School District Food Service Director Katina Ziebell explained to board members that she is currently in conversations with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction as to how this would impact the district student clubs such as FFA who often sell their popular milk shakes during the school day. Ziebell did state that DPI is looking at exemptions to the regulations, however no decisions have been made. FDA restrictions on lunches and snacks have already made Ziebell jump hoops in making sure lunches at the school meet guidelines including having to alter portion sizes and recipes. Titled “Smart Snacks”, the USDA rules set limits on calories, sugars, fats, and sodium while encouraging the consumption of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Schools must comply with the law by July 1, 2014. This will include any competitive foods sold through and by student clubs or other non profits at schools during the school day.
According to a USDA website dedicated to the Smart Snack regulations complaint, competitive foods sold must be a fruit; vegetable; dairy product; protein-rich food (meat, beans, poultry, seafood, eggs, nuts, seeds); whole-grain rich food (first ingredient is a whole grain or product is 50% whole grains by weight); or combo food that has at least ¼ cup fruit and/or vegetable. *Exception until July 1, 2016 – A food is allowed if it contains a minimum of 10% of the Daily Value of calcium, potassium, Vitamin D, or fiber. Nutrient Standards -All competitive foods must meet each of the following nutrient limits. For calories, a maximum of 200 for snacks and sides, and a maximum of 350 for entrees outside of the school lunch program. There may not be more than a maximum of 35 percent of sugar by weight with the exception of some fruits. As for sodium the maximum amount is 230mg and in 2016 that amount will change to a maximum of 200mg. Fat calories is set at a maximum of 35 percent of calories from fat, and a maximum of 10 percent of calories from fat for saturated fats. Beverage - All grade levels may sell water or carbonated water; unflavored low fat milk, flavored or unflavored fat free milk, and soy alternatives; and 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice. Size limits for elementary are at 8 ounces while for middle and high school it is 12 ounces.

New business may come to Mauston, hire locally BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD At last week's meeting of the Mauston Common Council, Jeff Vollmer, a former resident of Wisconsin who now resides in Tennessee, introduced himself and his software business Intelligent Video Recording Controls. The business specializes in video and surveillance and is looking to expand. The business is currently looking for office space and explained to council members that they would hire locally. Director of Public Works Report Rob Nelson reminded council members and residents that currently there is a "run water" advisory in an effort to prevent frozen pipes. "It is an advisory - if people think they don't have a problem they don't have to but it is our recommendation." Nelson also stated that residents could test their own water by measuring the temperature if they have a thermometer. He went on to state that if residents do test their water, to do so a couple of times throughout the day. The "run water" advisory asks that residents run a pencil stream of water from a faucet in their home. They will not be charged for the continuous stream of water running, rather, they will be billed at an average rate based on previous use. Depth of frost is a factor on whether pipes will freeze. Recently, according to Nelson, the Co-op was boring for soil samples and at one end the frost depth was four feet however at the other end it was six feet.
Common Council Work Session Meeting After the regular meeting of the Mauston Common Council, a work session meeting was held to discuss the results of the municipal building facility study. According to the minutes, the three immediate needs are public access bathrooms, a break/conference room, and additional space for the police department. Mauston Police Chief Mark Messer expressed safety concerns his department's office faces including that records are stored in multiple locations and that with recent additions of department vehicles, there are issues revolving around parking. Lt. Zilisch gave an overview of square footage differences between the
police department and the administrative area. He then recommended an option to switch the police department and the administrative area as well as allowing the police department to utilize the bay area in the garage considering that the Mauston Ambulance Association has moved and no longer uses the area. As for the Fire Department, Chief Hale had two concerns also revolving around parking, and storage. As for the parking the concern issued was lack of adequate parking for fire fighters responding to calls and for storage the need for additional room for required equipment. Chief Hale also expressed concern about "blind corners" encountered when emergency vehicles leave the station.

Mauston Area Youth Soccer addresses Mauston School Board members BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Denise Laridaen and members of the Mauston Golden Eagle Soccer Club were present at this month's meeting of the Mauston School Board and during public participation spoke to the board members in favor of keeping the soccer club at the school. As explained to the board members, the soccer club is self funded through fundraisers and for the students who participate in it, an integral part of their educational experience. Brandon Nelson sent a letter that was read by Craig Dallman. In it he stated that he started playing soccer with the Mauston Area Youth Soccer Club (MAYS) in 2003 when he was eight years old and continued
playing for ten more years up ‘til he graduated from the school. He stated that in the time spent with the club, he learned about being a team member and working towards goals. He further stated that soccer parents were dedicated to the team as could be seen by their continued fundraising efforts. Carlson Laridaen, a freshman, echoed Nelson's words and further emphasized the dedication of the parents by explaining how they drive to games as far away as Iowa. High school student Katie Nelson said she has been playing soccer since the age of seven starting with MAYS and through it she has learned leadership skills that she will rely on further in her life. Bailey Jensen who has been playing soccer since
the age of four stated she has enjoyed the opportunities in meeting new people and learning about team work. Craig Dallman was last to speak and did so with emotion as he expressed just how much being part of the soccer club has helped him. Dallman stated that just a few years ago he was overweight and through soccer he has been consistently losing weight and becoming healthier on top of the other valuable lessons of team work and leadership. At this time there has been no mention of the school cutting the soccer program. However, as announced at this month's meeting of the school board, budget cuts will be needed for the 20142015 school year and the board will be evaluating where those savings could come from.
Mauston Area Youth Soccer addresses the board on the value of the program as budget cuts loom for next school year.
JCAIRS receives land from Juneau County BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD The Juneau County Agricultural, Industrial and Recreational Society, Inc (JCAIRS), will no longer be leasing from the county 36 acres of land that was once known as the Petrowitz farm - they will now be the owners. At Tuesday's meeting of the Juneau County Board of Supervisors, members voted in favor to convey the title to the non profit. The deed of conveyance will contain the restriction that the JCAIRS use the property to benefit the annual Juneau County Fair and that the Juneau County Fair continue to be held annually at the fairground contained within Veterans Memorial Park in Mauston.
Keep up with daily news at the Messenger facebook page
Further, the conveyance requires that Juneau County have and retain title to whatever soil is removed from the premises for the anticipated construction at the property of a holding pond. It is anticipated that 2,800 cubic feet of soil will be recovered by the county and will be used to fill the county's landfill. Present at the meeting were representatives of JCAIRS including Joan Holig who in October of 2012 lost her husband Robert after he suffered a stroke at the young age of 51 years old. Last year, and in memory of her husband, fundraising for a new dairy barn for the fairgrounds started. "When I lost Bob, people said good would come out of it - now I see this is one of those good things. Thank you for doing this," she stated to the board.

Check meters and vents for snow cover Now more than ever, make sure you carefully clear snow from your natural gas meter and furnace vent. With the substantial amounts of snow in recent storms, and the high winds, gas meters may become covered in snow and ice. This build up can cause the meter or gas appliance, like a furnace or hot water heater, to malfunction. If a vent is blocked, carbon monoxide could build up in your home. A blocked vent could also cause a furnace or hot water heater to stop working. Customers should use a broom or their hands to remove snow from a meter. Do not use a shovel because the hard tip could break the meter. Newer furnaces and water heaters vent out the side of a home, instead of the top. Customers need to make sure sidewall vents and the roof top vents are clear of snow and ice.
Customers should also be aware of the dangers and risks of carbon monoxide (CO). The risk of illness or death from carbon monoxide increases in the winter. Every home or business should have at least one working CO monitor inside. Important safety tips: Don’t pile snow on or near the meter when shoveling or
using a snow blower Use your hands or a brush, not a shovel, to clear snow and ice from the meter Never bang on the meter or pipes Don’t let dripping water or freezing rain build up on the meter. The vent can become plugged when ice and snow melt during the day and refreeze at night

To Be! Shakespeare, Here and Now BY TASHA MUELLER “To Be! Shakespeare Here and Now” was performed in four different segments to students at Royall on February 5. The show was a one-person interactive presentation, featuring actor Ron Scot Fry of Milwaukee’s Optimist Theatre as William
Shakespeare. Dynamic interpretations of excerpts from some of Shakespeare’s most famous works were combined with a humorous look at life in Renaissance England. The program also included plenty of opportunities for audience members to star alongside The Bard of
Avon. “To Be!” was … Dynamic – Shakespeare was performed by a professional first-person actor who also happens to double as a stunt-man, college teacher, fire-eater, clown, improvartist, and jouster. Interactive – All ages and
Students were able to perform insults on one another using a Shakespeare list given with three columns of words. The insults were given cheers from the groups of students.
Intermediate students had a comical time reciting one Shakespeare line in the form of another personality. The Kendall Library coordinated the program with funding from the Kendall Area Arts and Culture Organization (KAACO).
learning levels had the opportunity to take the stage, speak Shakespeare’s words, and have a great time doing it. Humorous – Shakespeare knew how to use laughter to reach his audience, and “To Be! Shakespeare Here and Now” continues through this glorious tradition. The Renaissance was a fun time and learning about it through “To Be!” was even more fun. Ron Scot Fry is the founding Artistic Director of Optimist Theatre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was the Artistic Director for the Bristol Renaissance Faire for 19 years. “To Be!” has been enjoyed by more than 60,000 people since it’s debut in 1993. In addition to “To Be!”, Optimist Theatre produces free Shakespeare in the Park.

The organization’s goals include reaching artists and audiences across the economic, ethnic, and experiential landscape by creating art that is accessible to all people. They aspire to educate, entertain, and inspire through creative works of artistic integrity and, in doing so, to serve as a “gateway” theatre experience, bringing new audiences to the arts. Kendall Area Arts and Culture Organization (KAACO) sponsored the
presentation, along with the Kendall Public Library. Also, the presentation was made possible by a grant from the Wisconsin Humanities Council and the Friends of the Library Association. It was a fun day for students to not only learn a little bit more about Shakespeare plays, but also to have the opportunity to interact with Fry and become one of Shakespeare’s “actors.”

PRESENTATION Last Thursday, 4th graders at New Lisbon received
an in-depth look into just how important agriculture is to the state and the economy. In a presentation from the Wisconsin Dairy Council, the students learned that Wisconsin produces over 600 varieties of cheese and that dairy cows in Wisconsin on a weekly basis produce enough milk that every resident could have 10 gallons of milk a week. Additionally they heard 90 percent of the milk produced in Wisconsin is used to make other products such as cheese. EVA MARIE WOYWOD PHOTO

DONATION TO PANTRY New Lisbon Correctional Institution (NLCI) presented a check last Friday for more than $825 to Juneau County Community Sharing Pantry. The donation was a result of a partnership between the institution and Mauston Pizza Hut to provide a new fundraising opportunity with proceeds used to help a local community organization. “NLCI coordinates fundraisers throughout the year to raise awareness of important local issues and to provide inmates and staff an opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause,” said NLCI Warden Timothy Douma. “We are fortunate to have such supportive community partners to assist with these endeavors, and Mauston Pizza Hut graciously agreed to provide pizzas during the week prior to the Super Bowl. We also had several inmates who made additional donations above the cost of the pizzas they’d ordered; it was definitely a positive event.” The Community Sharing Food Pantry is based in Mauston and distributes living essentials to individuals and families in Juneau County throughout the year. The pantry feeds an average of 75 to 100 people throughout the winter months; county-wide, the organization assists nearly 600 families annually. For more information about Community Sharing Pantry, the services they provide, or to make a donation of time or money, contact 608-847-5454.
STUDENT OF THE MONTH
SCIENCE OLYMPIAD This year, New Lisbon school returns with a larger Science Olympiad
team for its second year in the competition. We have 15 students on the team and six alternates from grades six through eight.

Mile Bluff recognizes Necedah woman for efforts BY TRAVIS BAUMGARTEN The staff of Mile Bluff Medical Center would like to recognize and thank Kimberly Seitz of Necedah for her volunteer service at Fair View Nursing Home in Mauston. “Kimberly has made a great connection with the residents and they enjoy her company very much,” says Jill Finley, Recreation Services Coordinator at Fair View. Although she was born with spina bifada (a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord), Kimberly doesn’t let that slow her down. She spends many hours each week volunteering and helping others. From keeping residents company and getting them from one place to another, to helping out with daily activities, she keeps plenty busy. “I enjoy getting to know the residents and helping them with things that they might not be able to do on their own,” said Kimberly. When she is not volunteering her time at the nursing home,
Kimberly enjoys walking, listening to music, and playing basketball. She is also employed at VAARC in Mauston, where she often works a full day before volunteering another five hours or more at Fair View. “By volunteering, you get to meet a lot of new people,” explains Kimberly. “The residents and staff are very welcoming, and if you are thinking about volunteering, Fair View is a great place to do it.” If you would like to volunteer and donate time at Mile Bluff – Fair View Nursing Home in Mauston, contact Jill at 608-847-1290. If you would like to volunteer at Mile Bluff – Crest View Nursing Home in New Lisbon, call Lorraine Anderson at 608-562-3667. For opportunities at Mile Bluff Medical Center or Terrace Heights Retirement Community in Mauston, contact Reverend Fairchild at 608-847-1285. There are opportunities available for individuals and groups of all ages!

State ranked wrestlers achieve titles BY TASHA MUELLER The chants in the Brookwood gymnasium filled in uproars during the final wrestling champions Saturday, February 8 as 12teams competed in the Scenic Ridge and Rivers Conference tournament for their weightclass and team titles. Area wrestlers held their own during tough bracket match-ups, which led to eight-area conference titles. Wrestling teams from the Ridge and Valley, Scenic Bluffs and Six Rivers conferences competed in the Brookwood home mats as tournament time begins next week. The tournament featured 12 different ranked wrestlers in the Wisconsin Wrestling Online Individual Rankings from the three conferences, including area highlighted wrestlers Josh Marten (Brookwood) at 132 pounds ranking in sixth, Myles Connor (New Lisbon) at 60 pounds in ninth place, Royall’s Dalton Lunde (182) in second and New Lisbon’s Cullen Pedersen (152) rounding in the third ranking. New Lisbon fell a bit short of the top conference title for the day, finishing in second place as a team. The team gathered 188.5 points, as Cashton gathered 205.0 points to achieve the conference crown for the third-consecutive team title. Conference host Brookwood, a state honorable-mention team, rounded out the top three teams with 139.0 points. Royall was able to walk away with a sixth-place finish totaling 97.0 points, as
Necedah gathered 74.0 points to achieve seventh place and Hillsboro rounded out the competition in twelfth place cumulating 27.0 points. New Lisbon sent seven wrestlers into the finals and claimed four titles. Pedersen claimed the 152 title for the third straight year. Pedersen won by fall over Aaron Townsend of Kickapoo/La Farge at 1:25 within the first place match. Pedersen also won by fall over Jared Scoville (DeSoto) and Tyler Seeley (Hillsboro) en route of the title. Connor (160) overcame Weston / Ithaca’s Mason McCauley, whom is also state ranked by just one spot of Connor, in the championship round and won by decision 53. Derek Medaris (220) upset top-seeded Derek Osmond (Brookwood) for the 220 title. The match led an uproar of cheers coming from the crowd as both wrestled hard. Medaris came out with win by fall at 3:57. An additional wrestler for New Lisbon that gained a title was Bailey Slater in the 126 match up. Slater went head-to-head with Alex Morgan of River Ridge/Cassville and defeated Morgan with a final score of 7-3. Achieving second place for New Lisbon included Sean Baumgart (126) and Justin Giebel (170), as Stephan Burbach (132) captured third place. Royall sent four wrestlers into the finals, as Lunde (182) gained possession of the conference title after winning by fall over DeSoto’s
Mike Finney at 3:19. Leading up to the final match, Lunde won over Drew Pieper (Cashton) and Ike Sletten (Brookwood). Lunde improves his record to 36-1.

and Calvin Marriott (Brookwood) in route to his finish for the day. Hillsboro hosted the area Division 3 regional where the two top individuals make it to sectionals and the top team makes it to the team competition. Wrestling started at 10:30 am on Saturday, February 15 with wrestlers continuing on towards the tournament route. Cashton took their fourthstraight Regional title Saturday, and will look to their overall team depth along with fifth-ranked Bandon Schmitz in the 170 weight class. As the Eagles topped New Lisbon and Brookwood for the SRR tournament title a week ago, the team stayed on the right track, just edging a few points ahead of New Lisbon. The Eagles gained a spot in the WIAA Team Sectional action this Tuesday, February 18 at Richland Center with a team score 213.0. New Lisbon was close behind with 211.5 points. In third, Brookwood finished the day with 204.0 points, Westby in fourth place with 155.0, Royall at 109.0 points, Necedah with 107.0 points and Hillsboro with 55.5 points. Cashton took the Regional
crown this past season topping Brookwood 206 to 184. New Lisbon took the Scenic Bluffs Conference dual title over Brookwood and Cashton this season, but landed the second conference spot despite having the most individual titles. The Rockets, an honorable mention team, looked towards ranked wrestlers Cullen Pedersen (third - 152), Myles Connor (ninth - 160) and Derek Medaris (honorable mention - 220). Pedersen was able to gain his fourth Regional individual title to round out his high school career. With the Regional win, Cullen is now the career win leader for New Lisbon with 166 tallied wins. Pedersen gained his sectional spot by winning by fall over Necedah’s Jarron Bennett at 5:05. Connor was able to win his first place match by major decision over Brookwood’s Cory Ottum at 9-0, while Medaris won by fall over Landon Robertson from Royall at 5:55 to receive second place. Medaris lost to Westby’s Chase Nottestad by fall at 2:27 in the first place match. Other Rocket wrestlers advancing to sectionals included Sean Baumgart (120) with second place,
Bailey Slater (126), also with second, and Stephan Burbach (132). Additional first place finishers included Kyle Woodard (145). Royall’s Dalton Lunde (182), second state ranked, was the lone Panther to lead on towards a Sectional spot. Lunde won by decision over Cashton’s Drew Pieper 7-3. Hillsboro’s Max Sebranek (195), lost over Devin Berry of Brookwood during the first place match with a decision rule at 3-2. Sebranek then faced New Lisbon’s Jay Turner after winning by rule, to advance the lone Tiger grappler to the WIAA Individual Sectionals on February 22. Necedah will host the event, as the Cardinal wrestlers will have two hometown favorites competing for a spot to the WIAA State Tournament. Jarron Bennett (152) placed second at Regionals over Cashton’s Jaden Schmitz, as Austin Winters (285) won by fall over Brookwood’s Calvin Marriott at 0:29.

Gundersen St. Joseph’s Welcomes new General Surgeon Gundersen St. Joseph’s Hospital and Clinics is pleased to announce Alex Wade, MD, has joined them as a general surgeon. A mortgage lender in Albuquerque in the early to mid 1990s, Dr. Wade would never have dreamed he would one day practice medicine in the heart of Wisconsin’s farmland. But that’s exactly what happened. Dr. Wade joined the Gundersen Viroqua Clinic in 2008 after completing his general surgery residency with
Gundersen in La Crosse, and will be expanding his surgical services to St. Joseph’s in mid February. “Viroqua and Hillsboro is a good fit for me personally and professionally. I understand when patients prefer alternative and complementary medicines and will do my best to incorporate their wishes into conventional medicine,” Dr. Wade says. “Gundersen Health System is a wonderful place to work and I look forward to the opportunities at
Gundersen St. Joseph’s. I’m excited to join a family-friendly practice in a family-friendly community,” Dr. Wade adds. Noting general surgeons in rural settings often perform surgeries that are completed by specialists in urban areas; he says he enjoys the intellectual challenges and rewards of a diverse rural practice. Dr. Wade earned his doctor of medicine from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in
Albuquerque, N.M. He completed an internship at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. In his free time, Dr. Wade enjoys spending time with his family and seeing his children grow up. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Wade, please call the Gundersen St. Joseph’s Hillsboro Clinic at (608) 489-8280.

Wonewoc Center seventh graders bring home the Gold
BY BRUCE SCHROEDER The WJCI 7th and 8th Grade Boys Basketball hosted their first tournament of the year on Saturday, Feb. 15th at Wonewoc-Center. This year's tournament team is again sponsored by the W-C Youth Basketball Program. This year's players are led by 8th graders Noah Shore and Jordan Norling. The 7th graders playing this year are Kory Helm, Dylan Degner, Andrew Jacobson, and Taylor Geitz. Also participating are 6th graders Braeden Richardson, Tucker Needham, and Dawson Miller. Teams participating in the W-C tournament on Saturday were the host school Wonewoc-Center, Royall, Hillsboro, Kickapoo, Wauzeka, and Cashton. The 8th graders began their tournament play against the Cashton Eagles. The Wolves started out strong right off the bat in this one and jumped out to a 11 - 1 lead behind the hot shooting of Jordan Norling, Kory Helm and Taylor Geitz. But Cashton got back into the game and tied the game at 15 at halftime. Then the WJCI squad went to work on the defensive end in the 2nd half and used their hounding guard play to squeak out a 24 - 19 win. Wonewoc-Center held Cashton to 4 second half points for the key to this win. Jordan Norling and Kory Helm led the Wolves with 6 points apiece. Taylor Geitz had 4 points and Dylan Degner followed with 3. Andrew Jacobson and Tucker Needham had 2 points and Noah Shore had 1 to complete the scoring. The next 8th grade game was against the Wauzeka Hornets. This would be a tight game with the winner advancing to the 8th grade championship. The 1st half was a nip and tuck affair with Wauzeka up by a point at halftime by a score of 18 - 17. In the 2nd half, Wauzeka came out hot and forged to a 27 - 19 lead. But even with the 6th and 7th graders playing in their sixth game of the day, the Wolves still found another gear on defense and with just over three minutes left, a Noah Shore bucket put Wonewoc-Center into the lead at 30 - 29. But the Wolves finally ran out of steam and Wauzeka ended up with a tight win at 37 - 32. Noah Shore and Jordan Norling literally carried the Wolves efforts on their backs in this one. Shore had an outstanding game with 20 points and double
figure rebounds. Norling's relentless end line to end line defensive efforts shut down the Hornets guards and allowed the Wolves to keep this a tight game. Andrew Jacobson followed with 6 points and Kory Helm, Dylan Degner, and Dawson Miller all had 2 points. The last game of the day for the 8th graders was against Kickapoo for the bronze medal. With all but 2 of the Wolves players playing in their 7th game of the day, Kickapoo jumped out to a 19 - 6 half time lead against the tired Wolves. Wonewoc-Center put a small dent into the Panther lead and cut it to 7 points late in the game, but Kickapoo finished up on the winning end of a 35 - 26 score for 3rd place in the 8th grade tournament. Noah Shore, Kory Helm, Dylan Degner, and Taylor Geitz led the team in rebounding for the day. Jordan Norling, Andrew Jacobson, Braeden Richardson, Dawson Miller, and Tucker Needham led the team in assists and steals. Royall went on to win the 8th grade championship over Wauzeka who finished with the silver medals. Wonewoc-Center's 7th graders began their exciting day against the Cashton Eagles. A tight first half in this one found Cashton with a 22 - 18 halftime lead. But in the 2nd half, the Wolves used an attacking offense by their quick guards and also stepped up their pressure man to man defense and outscored Cashton 20 - 5 the rest of the way for a 38 - 27 Wolves win. Taylor Geitz had a great game on the offensive end with 14 points. Kory Helm and Andrew Jacobson followed with 7 and 6 points respectively. Tucker Needham and Dawson Miller each had 4, Braeden Richardson had 2, and Dylan Degner had 1 to round out the scoring. Next up for W-C's 7th graders was a visit from the Hornets of Wauzeka. The Wolves held a steady lead for most of this one and built a 7 point lead at halftime by a score of 14 - 7. But Wauzeka hung around in this game and the Wolves could not put Wauzeka away. Late in the game and with the Wolves clinging to a 3 point lead, the Wolves went to their ball control offense behind the ball handling of Andrew Jacobson, Tucker Needham, and Dawson Miller. With Jacobson directing traffic, Miller and Needham scored on consecutive back door feeds from each other and the Wolves held on for a gutsy 24 - 19 win. Geitz again had a strong game with 10
Cover to Cover: Wonewoc Public Library BY KIM DEARTH We want to thank everyone who joined us for our Open House to celebrate the completion of our new addition! We had over 100 people in attendance, including Sen. Dale Schultz and Rep. Ed Brooks, who presented the library with a citation commemorating the occasion. The Friends of the Wonewoc Library and members of the Library Board donated delicious refreshments, and musician Shari Sarazin serenaded the gathering with her beautiful vocals and harp accompaniment. We would also like to thank our Library Board member, Deb Danklefsen, for her wonderful photos of the event, some of which graced the cover of the Juneau County Star-Times. Although the photos were accidentally credited to someone else in the article that appeared a few weeks ago, we would like to acknowledge her help in capturing this event for us all to remember for years to come. And finally we wish to thank Don Urban for the amazing bookshelf donor wall that he created and generously donated to the library, which lists the names of our $500 and above donors. As I watch yet another winter storm pile up outside the library’s windows, I’m thrilled to announce that once again the library is selling discount Mt. Olympus tickets!

points on some solid mid-range jumpers. Needham and Miller followed with 4, Helm had 3, Jacobson had 2 and Degner had 1 point to round out the scoring. The Kickapoo Panthers were the next opponent. The Wolves used the quick defensive pressure from guards Andrew Jacobson, Braeden Richardson, Dawson Miller and Tucker Needham to rout the Panthers in this one by a final score of 47 - 11. Scoring was abundant for the Wolves for this game with Helm scoring 12, Geitz following with 9, and Needham scoring 8 to lead the Wolves. Jacobson and Miller each chipped in with 6. Degner followed with 4 and Richardson had 2 to complete the scoring. The 7th grade Wolves were now 3 - 0 and on to play for the championship. With Gold Medals on the line for the winner, who better to face than the neighboring rivals, the Hillsboro Tigers. This game started out in a slow methodical manner, but the Wolves jumped out to a 9 - 2 halftime lead. However, Hillsboro jumped back into the game with a quick 6 - 0 run to start the 2nd half to cut the lead to 1 and the drama was on for the rest of this championship game. This game became a typical Wolves-Tigers battle for the rest of the game with the Wolves never able to generate more than a 3 point lead. But with the Wolves clinging to a 17 - 14 lead with 1:20 left in the game, Taylor Geitz, Andrew Jacobson, and Kory Helm each scored pressure points down the stretch and the Wolves came away with a hard fought 22 - 16 win and the Gold Medals. Geitz had 10 and Jacobson had 8 with each knocking down a flurry of mid range jumpers. Helm had 4 to round out the scoring in this championship match. The Wolves were led all day by guards Andrew Jacobson, Braeden Richardson, Tucker Needham, and Dawson Miller playing lock down defense and leading the team in assists and steals. Dylan Degner, Kory Helm, and Taylor Geitz controlled the boards in the paint for the Wolves. The Hillsboro Tigers finished with the Silver Medals in 2nd place and the Cashton Eagles claimed the Bronze Medals. Next up for the Wolves is an 8th grade tournament at Ithaca on February 22nd.

Letter to the Editor jobs. More jobs will be sacrificed through TPP. They will go to countries that have no laws concerning minimum wages, environmental protection, child labor, or workmen’s compensation. “Buy American” and Buy Local” campaigns will be banned. These are just a few points to be considered. I urge everyone to become familiarized with this threat and urge Congress to reject TPP. Stan Schulte New Lisbon

There is movement for passage of The Trans Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) in Washington. This piece of Legislation is an extension of NAFTA, only worse. U.S. negotiators have refused to share their proposals with the American Public. TPP includes socalled "investor state" provisions. Corporations will be able to basically ignore American environment protection laws. It will make it difficult for countries to regulate pesticides, food additives and Generically Modified Organisms. Foods imported to the U.S. might contain unsafe and untested additives. Imports may not meet U.S. standards and ASDA will be powerless to protect American consumers. TPP contains at least 26 separate chapters affecting jobs, wages, agriculture, migration, the environment, access to medicine, consumer safety, banking regulations, indigenous rights, Internet protocols, government procurement and more. Under NAFTA, America lost 2.5 million

Heavens to Betsey if the weathermen are 9 10 correct and we are supposed to be done with all the awfully cold cold - what are we going to talk about? Far as I can remember, that’s 14 all folks have been talking about since Christmas. But it is predicted that things are finally looking up and it won’t be that cold 16 14 anymore. One can hope, but if it is true what will we talk about? Guess I’ll have to pay more attention to 17 18 the news or the internet to see what folks are now talking about and thinking about. In the 22 21 23 last two days we had to say good-bye to two people that I well remember, even if I didn‘t personally know them... First Shirley 26 27 Temple-Black, a box office darling of the Depression era and tonight it is Sid Caesar. I can recall just loving movies that Shirley 29 Temple was in when she was only a child.

aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?” Slim says, “I feel just like a newborn baby.“ “Really? Like a newborn baby?” “Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.” Three old guys are out walking. First one says, “Windy, isn't it?” Second one says, “No, it's Thursday!” Third one says, “So am I. Let's go get a beer.” A man was telling his neighbor, “I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art.. It's perfect.” “Really,” answered the neighbor. “What kind is it?” “Twelve thirty.” And now one of my favorites: A 64 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she had a near death experience. Seeing God she asked "Is my time up?" God said, "No, you have another 23 years, 2 months, and 8 days to live." Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair color and brighten her teeth! Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it. After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance. Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 23 years? Why didn't you pull me out of the path of the ambulance?" God replied: "I didn't recognize you." You probably have been lying awake at night wondering just why baby diapers have brand names such as "Luvs", "Huggies," and "Pampers', while undergarments for old people are called "Depends". Well, here is the low down on the whole thing – When babies mess in their pants, people are still gonna Luv'em, Hug'em, and Pamper'em. – When old people mess in their pants, it "Depends" on who's in the will! So with that I’ll leave you with this NOnonsense thought: That, my friend is how life is. So, enjoy each day and live it up...Before you're too darn old! n Nancy J Schneider is a member of The Wisconsin Regional Writers Association and writes freelance.

Taking Refuge
An Outdoorsman’s Journal
BY STEVE NORLING Well, here we are another week another week of frigid weather. Watching the weather forecast they say that we are starting a warming period. I am not sure how much we can trust them but we can only hope that for once they are right. They are also calling for more snow. With warmer weather and more snow this would be a great time to get out and snowshoe. If you have never done it, it is a very easy sport to learn. Forget about the old wooden snowshoes with the long tails that you may have seen. Hardly anyone (except dinosaurs like me) uses these snowshoes anymore. The ones that you can borrow at the refuge are newer, are made of metal, are light and if you can walk, you can snowshoe on these. The only difference between walking in the snow without them or with them is that with them is much easier because you stay on top of the snow. So come on out, borrow a pair of snowshoes and give it a try. On the eighth of February about forty Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts from eight different troops came to the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge. These scouts came here to immerse themselves in the winter environment and get out and explore the natural world in the winter. They were also working toward earning their “Hiker” or “Animal Habitats” merit badge. They spent the day doing hands-on educational activities and a great part of the day was spent snowshoeing and hiking across the various habitats found on the refuge. They also learned how to get ready to go on a winter hike, and they created winter wildlife habitats. Much of what they learned through their mini experiments challenged their understanding of outdoor wildlife adaptations. All in all it was a great day for all of the young scouts and they all enjoyed it a said they learned much. There are no more programs or special events this month but the eighth of March can be a full day at the refuge. At 9:00 a.m. it will be Focus on Photography until 9:45 a.m. Following that it will be a snowshoe habitat hike from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. At 11:45 a.m. the Friends of Necedah National Wildlife Refuge will be presenting the movie “Ordinary Extraordinary Junco”. The movie last about eighty-eight minutes and will be over by 1:15 p.m. This movie is a great movie for all ages and is free and open to the public. Come on out and learn more about one of our favorite backyard bird. When driving around the refuge be very careful. Many roads have not been plowed after each snow and are sow covered and some are impassable. Having four-wheel drive helps but you have to remember, if you slide off the road or get stuck in any other way, it is your responsibility to get out. The refuge does not offer road service and you will have to call some towing service. All hunting on the refuge ends on the refuge on February 28th with the end of rabbit season. When spring turkey opens the refuge will again be open for hunting. Fishing on Sprague and Goose Pools on March 15th. This is to give returning waterfowl and shorebirds areas to rest in on their migration. Hopefully there will be some open water by then. For those of you who have never attended a “Focus on Photography” think about attending. If you are interested in photography and would like to learn more about wildlife or outdoor photography, this is the program for you. On one Saturday each month the group gets together to discuss different aspects of outdoor photography. People attending range from newcomers that are just getting into photography to some that have been at it for many years. It is a great chance to learn and to share what you know. No matter if you use a point and shoot camera or a DSLR there are things for you to learn and tips that you may have for others. This is a very informal group and everyone is welcome. Besides snowshoeing, there is still my favorite winter sport, cross-country skiing. A couple of trails have tracks laid down and the rest are open to the first person with the energy to do so. You never know when you may meet me on one of the trails. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”

Good Fishing at Genoa BY MARK WALTERS Hello friends, This week I went on an awesome trip and achieved a goal that I always have, but seldom achieve, and that is to get into some really good fishing. Here is the scoop, two weeks ago I was driving north on Hwy 35 and was approaching Genoa, when I saw a large number of ice fishermen across the channel on the Mississippi River just below the dam, and fishing near Clement’s Fishing Float. I made some calls and was told to give Jerry Josephs of Genoa a call to get the low down on how to fish my “new honey hole”. Jerry Josephs is retired from the U.S. Navy, as well as, from Dairyland Power Plant and as I would find out, one very avid outdoorsman. Wednesday, February 12th High 24, low minus 4 First I would unload my four-wheeler and put a ton of gear into my two Otter Sleds. Then I would drive my four-wheeler across the river above the dam. Then all fishing and camping gear would be pulled by hand, through a maybe 200-yard rolling and physical walk to the river below the dam. Next, I would find Jerry Josephs on the ice. At Captain Hooks Bait Shop in Genoa, while looking for my new buddy on the ice, I would hear repeated comments of respect about this man. As I am about to shake his hand, he catch’s maybe a 12inch sauger with an ultra light fishing rod and an 1/8-ounce Taylor “hair jig”. No live bait for this guy. I quickly assess my situation and ask Jerry where he thought my best chance would be to catch perch, northern pike, and after dark, hopefully walleye. After some deep thought, Jerry tells me where he would go which is a ways from everyone else on the ice who are all targeting sauger in the fast water below the dam. I pull my two sleds to my new honey hole and put out two deadsticks with walleye minnows on them with the intention of hopefully catching a perch while I do the big job of setting up my camp as I am staying on the ice overnight. I putz, enjoy life and set up my 12x 7-foot Eskimo Shack. Soon after that Mark and Josh Quinn who are from Arena enter my world and begin drilling holes and putting out tip ups. This father/son team has not fished here in a bit but have fond memories of catching some big gators in years past. I pull a dead stick and replace it with a tip up and a shiner and go back to work. It was not long and I had a flag, I landed a very fat 30-inch northern pike. The Quinn’s had one tip up that kept going up and land four dandy gators out of it including a 33-incher. At dark, everyone left but me. I took the Quinn’s hot hole and my day ended with two 27’s and the 30. Next faze of the day was walleye fishing from the shack. I used a slip bobber and a jigging spoon. It took about two seconds to catch my first walleye, it was very small. By the time I quit fishing just before midnight I had caught ten, of which only one was over 15-inches. I slept in my Otter Sled with my pup Fire. Thursday, February 13th High 31, low 15 There were probably 20 fishermen on the ice after sauger and perch today. My pal Jerry was out bright and early. I was the only person using tip ups and living on the ice. My first gator was a solid 31-inches, next I caught a pigasauras that was 33-inches and as I was carrying it back to the shack, that
same tip up tripped and I missed a really heavy fish. I forgot to mention I also caught some really pretty perch. Tonight, Selina had a basketball game so breaking camp, getting off the ice, and getting to her game was on my mind. My last fish was another pig that was 32-inches. It took me three trips through the rolling woods to get all my gear to my four-wheeler. On my last journey I was running down a slope so as not to get run over by my sled. I had my 70-pound ice shack on my back and my sled caught up to me going down hill and I did not see it coming. Without warning, both of my feet became hog-tied I went down like a pile of bricks and was run over by my sled. I let out a bellar like a whipped pup and hurt my back, left shoulder, re-injured my knee and tore up my left ankle so it matches my right ankle. I made it to Selina’s game, in a full winter survival outfit, was in more pain then anyone had a clue and nothing mattered cuz I kicked some butt on the ice and made it to the game! Living the dream!

Longbeards donate bows On Saturday, January 25, approximately 40 Juneau County 4-H Archery Project members kicked off their annual target practice at M&M Shooters in New Lisbon. This year, however, began with a generous gift from Lemonweir Longbeards Turkey Federation club. The Longbeards donated four new junior bows for the youngest project members who become eligible to practice archery skills at age 9 (grade 3). Bows are like sneakers and can be easily outgrown. Therefore, parents are reluctant to purchase expensive junior bows, preferring to wait until their child’s growth stabilizes. The 4-H archery shooting club works to provide basic equipment for use that will allow members to learn without the concern of purchasing equipment. 4-H members sincerely thank the Longbeards for providing them this opportunity.
