THE AWARD WINNING OFFICIAL LEGAL NEWSPAPER OF JUNEAU COUNTY THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2013
Judge rules to vacate 2nd degree homicide convictions BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD
$1.00
Former Necedah man convicted of 3rd degree sexual assault BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD
On Tuesday, March 26, Juneau County Circuit Court Judge John Roemer ruled on a motion and allows John G. Tetting to withdraw pleas of no contest in the 2007 drug related shootings resulting in the deaths of Joshua Alderman and Tabatha Nealy. Tetting had been convicted of 2 counts of 2nd degree John Tetting reckless homicide - party to a crime and sentenced to 30 years in state prison - a sentence which now has been vacated . The motion to vacate and leading to the recent ruling was filed by Tetting and after authorities received a 2011 written statement from David Turner, a co-defendant, who claimed after the convictions that Tetting did not have a role in the shootings nor was he present within the car when the shootings occurred. Turner has been convicted of the shootings and sentenced to 40 years in prison. Additionally, Tetting asserted in his motion he did not have an adequate legal understanding of what being party to a crime meant. This was an assertion he attempted previously and after he had pled no contest to the charges but prior to being sentenced in 2009. After the Tuesday ruling Juneau County District Attorney Michael Solovey released the following statement: "The Juneau County District Attorney's office has received the decision of the Circuit Court allowing Mr. Tetting to withdraw the plea he entered to two counts of reckless homicide occurring on March 11, 2007. It remains confident in the integrity of the charges and the investigation conducted by the Juneau County Sheriff's Office, and is immediately preparing to seek justice in the trial of this very important matter." Tetting is being represented by defense attorney Ruby Cole. He is currently being held in the Juneau County Jail on $150,000 cash bond. A status hearing has been scheduled for April 4, 2013 at 2:30 p.m.
On Tuesday morning the close finally came to a child sexual assault case that was filed in 2010 for a crime committed in 2009. Thirty-six year old Benji Parpart, formerly of Necedah, pled no contest to and was convicted of 3rd degree sexual assault resulting in Judge Richard O. Wright sentencing him to 3 years in state prison followed by 3 years of extended supervision. Parpart will have 845 days of credit applied to his prison sentence for time served in the Juneau County Jail. Although Parpart was convicted of 3rd degree sexual assault he was originally charged in 2010 with 2nd degree child sexual assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Due to a plea agreement the sexual assault charge was amended and the contributing to the delinquency of a minor was dismissed. The charges Parpart was originally facing were formally filed on June 10, 2010 and stem from an incident that allegedly occurred in May of 2009. According to the criminal complaint on August 11, 2009, Detective Tim Andres of the Juneau County Sheriff's Department received a report from the Monroe County Sheriff's Department claiming a sexual assault of a child occurring in Necedah. Parpart was identified as the alleged perpetrator and was already known as a registered sex offender. The female victim would have been only 14 years old at the time the crime was reported to have taken place. The complaint went on to state that on August 12, 2009 Detective Andres met with the victim at the Juneau County Sheriff's Department. During that interview the victim reported that the incident happened on or about May 10, 2009 and after she sent Parpart, who was known to her and the family, a text message inquiring about marijuana. The victim is said to have told Detective Andres that Parpart replied to the text stating that he had "some" and asked if she wanted him to get her drunk. After replying yes to him, the victim claimed that Parpart replied with a text saying he would come to her residence after her mother went to work, and also told her not to tell her mother about it.
Then a sexual assault occurred, according to the complaint, later that same day when Parpart came over and after he supplied her with alcohol and smoked a cigarette with her. She claims that Parpart told her the cigarette had marijuana in it. The victim claims that later Parpart apologized to her and asked her not to tell her mother. The girl then also claimed that he told her if she did her mother would think she was crazy and send her to live with her father in another state. The girl also claimed that after the incident Parpart bought her gifts to keep her quiet. After the charges were filed in 2010 and law enforcement was unable to serve him with court papers, a warrant was issued for Parpart. Parpart was found in Missouri and extradited back to Juneau County in July of 2011. He was placed on a cash bond and held in the Juneau County Jail where he remained up to Tuesday morning's plea hearing and sentencing. Parpart has an extensive prior record including a 1998 conviction of 2nd degree sexual assault and a 2003 conviction on a felony cocaine charge. In addition to Tuesday morning's prison sentence Parpart was fined $852.70 in court assessments, and ordered not to have contact with the victim. He will also need to undergo sex offenders treatment.
Mauston pair charged with ID theft
BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD
Janey Guist and Gregory Shaw, both from Mauston, have been charged in Juneau County Circuit Court with being party to felony theft and identity theft. The charges were filed by assistant district attorney Jake Westman last Thursday, March 21st. According to the criminal complaint on July 12, 2012 Juneau County Sheriff's Department deputy Colleen Beier was dispatched to a home in Mauston for a report of fraud. Upon arriving on the scene deputy Beier was met by Guist who allegedly stated that there had been fraud on her Wisconsin Department of Health Services IRIS account, a program that helps peo-
ple get basic care services that they cannot provide for themselves. Guist reportedly told the deputy that she believed her live-in boyfriend, Shaw, may have forged her and another person's, Albert Babcock, signature on IRIS program paperwork. Guist went on to state that she has been on the program from April 2011 to June 2012. Babcock was listed as Guist's paid in home caretaker as part of the IRIS program and a debit card was issued in Babcock's name during that time. After gathering needed information the deputy investigated the claim which showed employee wage history documents revealing that between January of 2012 and July of 2012 Babcock had
been paid $12,199.09. However, according to Babcock he stated that he only received checks through December of 2011, and had not filed a timesheet since December 16, 2011. On September 12, 2012 the deputy met with Guist again to conduct an interview. The criminal complaints states that it was during that interview Guist admitted she had forged the time sheets in Babcock's name after December 16, 2011 through June 30, 2012 and that she acquired a debit card in Babcock's name so that the IRIS wages could be deposited into that account. Guist is reported to have said those actions were done without Babcock's knowledge. See IDENTITY THEFT, Page 3

Dialogue starts with Energy Policy Presentation BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Energy policies, the regulations and the process in what keeps our lights on and homes heated is complex and there are no simple answers to some of the many issues currently making headlines across the state and the Nation. That was just part of the message shared Monday evening at the Hatch Public Library in Mauston in a presentation by Tim Baye, a professor with UWExtension and State Energy Specialist, on the invitation of Senator Dale Schultz. Baye highlighted facts and findings from his just-completed project on energy policy in Wisconsin. As a basis for the project, Baye stated that he interviewed 38 energy industry leaders, including a utility leader and other energy stakeholders. The project also looked at how Wisconsin’s energy policy compares to other states and nations. According to Senator Schultz the motivation behind the project was to educate legislators and provide information that will allow a dialogue to occur. After Baye's nearly hour and a half long presentation a dialogue did in fact occur and that conversation was with the standing room audience that packed into the library's community room, many of which were vocal members in opposition of the high voltage
transmission lines proposed to be erected throughout central Wisconsin. Much of Baye's presentation focused on how energy is transmitted and the stakeholders along the way from the investor owned utilities to the municipal owned utilities. He also provided information on the comparisons on states who have gone the way of deregulation and those who still have regulations on the books such as Wisconsin. Most of the information presented came from data and slides from other sources and reports. It was a compilation that Baye stated presented would hopefully give a well rounded look at what all the stakeholders are bringing to the table in their discussions and projects presented to Wisconsin's Public Service Commission. In closing Baye highlighted comments that occurred during his interviews with the 38 stakeholders, comments that did not always share the same point of view. Points of view that many in the audience stated they felt did not represent what many rate payers want or what they were saying. Many stated their voices are being ignored and the decision making process is only listening to the utility companies and their stakeholders. "I'm not being asked where I want the tower on my property, I am being told where
it will be going," stated one audience member. "If you want to change the game, first you need to understand what the rules of the game are," stated Baye. Baye went on to state that rules, as they are in Wisconsin, have not changed much in the decades since they were first enacted. Baye went on to explain that much of the talk in Wisconsin centers around the of reliability. issue Reliability, according to Baye is not whether or not there is a power outage due to equipment failure but rather if Wisconsin does not have enough power to transmit to ratepayers. A problem other states have faced, but Wisconsin has yet to. Senator Schultz stated that people did not need to agree with one another to come together and discuss the issue, the main purpose of the presentation was to open a real dialogue. A dialogue, he stated he would be taking
to the legislature when he has Baye share his presentation with them.
DNR held forum on Deer management herd BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Many questions were asked, and many concerns issued, however very few answers were given last Tuesday evening at a forum on Wisconsin's plan for deer herd management. That forum took place in Mauston and was held by representatives from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Approximately two dozen area residents came out to take part in what is a series of thirty-four forums being held throughout Wisconsin. The purpose of the meetings is so that agency officials can gather information to gauge public sentiment as the DNR prepares for the 2013 hunting season. In Mauston the sentiment shared was clear, and that was that there needs to be changes to how the DNR currently operates and to hunting regulations. DNR wildlife supervisor Kris Johansen facilitated the meeting. Johansen stressed that changes will be coming. Mark Saemisch of Elroy made sure his voice was heard as he recounted life growing up in the area and the surplus of deer that once was. Saemisch pointed to regulations going lax and failed programs as just some of the reasons local herd populations are down. An addition, concern Saesmisch and others vocalized was that the DNR was top heavy with too many making decisions and not enough of them out in the field doing the ground work.
Many in the audience raised concerns over the predator population increasing, namely wolves and coyotes. A majority appeared to favor lifting the quota on future wolf hunts in Wisconsin. Johansen stated that this past season's hunt was a test run and while there may be changes made, voices on all sides of the issue are fighting to be heard. Johansen invited those present to take part in a deer trustee survey online on the DNR's website at dnr.wi.gov/topic/wildlifehabitat/trustee.html. It is also on that page you can access the Deer Trustee Report which has 62 specific recommendations that lay a path for modifying the future of deer management in Wisconsin. The DNR states that they will communicate information throughout the public involvement and the implementation
process including meeting dates and times, information updates, timelines, rule process and accomplishments.
Hiring a Lieutenant for Mauston Police Department postponed for 6 months BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD It will be at least another 6 months before the Mauston Police Department will be looking to filling the lieutenant's position that has been open since Michael Jackson's retirement at the end of December of last year. According to a phone interview last Thursday with Mauston Police Chief Mark Messer the position will be readvertised in 6 months. In the interim, stated Chief Messer, 2 officers have been offered an incentive pay to take on added responsibilities. Those officers are Michael Zilisch
and John Nault. Prior to speaking with Chief Messer, the Messenger had contacted Police and Fire Commission Chair Andy Crandall who stated that there had been 6 applicants for the position when it was originally posted, 3 had been offered follow up interviews, however Crandall went on to say that due to a lack of qualified applicants the position would be re-posted in 6 months. This news comes just weeks after and according to the February minutes of the Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault stating Chief Messer made an
announcement that a new lieutenant would be hired by April 1. Through sources, the Messenger has learned that two of the original applicants were current police officers with the Mauston Police Department. Neither Crandall or Chief Messer would confirm this, nor did they deny it.

Crawford retires from Crossing Guard position
BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Last Friday morning Mauston crossing guards and others gathered at Mauston City Hall to honor Sheri Crawford who for the last 22 years, has been making sure students get to school safely while crossing area streets. Crawford has retired from her position near West Side Elementary as crossing guard to spend more time with her family, and her grandchildren. As part of the celebration honoring her years of service City Administrator Nathan Thiel read the official proclamation recognizing her efforts. The proclamation stated that Crawford joined the Mauston Police Department as a Crossing Guard on September 5, 1991, and has faithfully served in that position for 22 years; and she has served as Lead Crossing Guard for many years; performing scheduling duties for summer school and special events, seeking out quality people to be hired as crossing guards, and diligently promoting the safety of children. Thiel went on to state Crawford has withstood rain, snow, sleet, heat, wind, impatient drivers, rowdy teenagers, oblivious young children, and multiple road construction projects; all with grace and perseverance, while only occasionally ‘calling a spade a spade’; and she has learned how to appro-
priately accessorize a blaze orange and florescent yellow vest for each season; and can carry a stop sign with great finesse. Many members of Crawford's family were present for the celebration.
Eye movement desensitizaand reprocessing tion (EMDR) is a method of therapy that has been used to help millions of people, of all ages, relieve many types of psychological stress. Thanks to a scholarship from the foundation, Mile Bluff therapist, Judy Bessac, recently received training in EMDR, and has been using it to help local patients regain control of their lives. Judy explains, “Research shows that the treatment method is extremely effective for helping individuals who are emotionally or mentally ‘stuck’ on certain problems or issues in their lives.” She continues, “Those who can have breakthroughs with EMDR include people who have experienced physical or sexual abuse, individuals who have been through traumatic car accidents or war, and even those who are being held back in life by obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety, somatic disorder, pain issues, phobias, grief, anger and more.” The EMDR method works by taking past memories that cause present disturbances, and reprocessing them to influence future actions. The ‘processing’ part of

therapy does not mean talking through the issues. Instead, it assists in setting up a learning state-of-mind, allowing the problematic experiences to be ‘digested’ and stored in the brain differently. The inappropriate emotions that were once there - beliefs, physical sensations, distressing imagery, disturbing thoughts and uncontrolled feelings - will be discarded or will lose their impact; and they will be replaced with healthy emotions. Judy states, “Negative emotions, feelings and behaviors are generally caused by unresolved earlier experiences that are pushing you in the wrong directions. The goal of EMDR therapy is to leave you with the emotions, understanding and perspectives that will lead to healthy and useful behaviors and interactions.” When she heard of EMDR, Judy wanted to learn more. She looked into training programs, and applied for assistance to fund her education. Thanks to a scholarship awarded by Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation, Judy was able to receive the training she needed to bring EMDR to the Juneau County region. “This was not just an investment in my educa-

Royall awarded $4,000 Garden Grant – new active programs underway BY TASHA MUELLER A new Physical Education curriculum will be the start of a few major, but minor changes for the Royall School District that will let elementary students become more active throughout the hours of the school day. PEP Grant funds will be used for many of the new activities to make way. Ruth Witt was present to give the board a current update on the new items underway for students. One new program that has just begun has been “Fab 5” for all elementary students to be involved in. The “5” stands for the 5 components of fitness and contains details lessons providing comprehensive activities that are key for developmental purposes. The main focus is physical and health content along with motor skill development which is key and important during the younger years. High attendance rates have been great as kids are excited for the program. Royall has had a gap for quite a few years regarding how the school keeps children active and become more social with students. Times are split up for kindergarten through 3rd grade and 4th through 6th grade on different days. Many classroom teachers are the ones that put on the after-school program and emphasize to students that it’s alright to exercise and have fun with teachers outside of class.
The spring will prove to be a busy time for students as they will have the choice to participate in intramural activities including baseball, gymnastics, and gardening. This year, there will be a school garden implemented as many elementary students will have the chance to use the garden in correspondence with the high school ag program. An after school program offered in May will teach children where food is started and how items grow, along with getting their hands dirty. A Garden Grant has also been awarded to Royall for $4,000 and will give the program the boost it needs. Michele Hackett, a 3rd grade teacher will be the lead instructor along with the Hill and Dale County Club and UW Extension. A community involved project is something the district has been looking forward to for a while. Also, the garden will be used throughout summer school courses. A few smaller projects are in the works to beautify Royall and make the school a better school. At the elementary and intermediate level, organizers have been working on a Healthier US School Challenge Application. In order for the PEP Grant to be completed, the changes in the physical education to nutrition education and foods program, will be sent in soon and hopefully be awarded to the district
soon. On April 12, the 2nd annual Health and Wellness Days will be taking place. This year, there will be 29 community partnerships involved in the day along with Royall staff. Activities include Shock Body Fitness from Reedsburg, Dr. Webster talking on skin care, along with yoga sessions, zumba, and a climbing wall. WASDA Award Each year the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators reaches out to all the communities across the state and asks each district to choose a recipient for the WASDA Bert Grover Child Advocacy Award. Mike Murphy was the chosen Royall School District recipient due in large part that he has been a continual active district member. In 1997 he served on the school board, a booster club member since 2002, raising countless funds for the district, sports projects with the new gymnasium floor and keeping uniforms intact. He is involved in the PEP Grant and has coached many school sports teams. Approvals The board has approved to give letters of intent to all staff letting members know of their jobs for next year. The deadline to give staff members is May 15 with a return deadline by June 15. The board has seen no issues toward the topic since the district did not do the letters last year.
The discussion of the renter of the Kendall School used for the Traditions Daycare program has been continual late on renter fees each month but due to the lack of kids she has coming in. The options of selling the building to the Village of Kendall for $1 were reviewed or to consider another option of getting the building to incubate a different business. The board approved to open the idea up to the public and see how community members would like to see how the building is spent. If the Royall School District were to sell the building, it would save the district $20,000 per year. All pending discussions will be soon, to hope for the best with the final outcome. Royall will be making up one snow day with a full education day on June 6 with an early release. The district has seen four snow days, four late starts and four early releases. The teachers would make up the other three snow days determined by the administration. If students were to make up the other days, the start of summer school would be pushed backed. The different options could also let staff members make up the two other days in August for a staff development day into the next calendar year. The board approved to have students make up the one snow day with the last day of school be on June 6th and teachers deciding on the final days to make up.
An anonymous donation has been achieved in order for the district to purchase a buzz-in system for the three entrances for the district that would cost $8,500 for installation and $1,500 for electric work. There has already been a $4,250 donation, but the other part has not been received. If the district does not receive the other part of the donation, the school may not see a buzz-in system installed until next school year. As the cost of the system is not in the school’s budget, the board would have to seek fundraising efforts or another possible route. The CESA 4 contract has been approved for the next school year, the 2013-2014 school calendar was reviewed with an approval hopeful for next month and the District Wellness Policy was approved for a 1st reading. Upcoming Dates Juniors will participate in the Reality Daze held in Mauston on April 16. Prom will be held on April 27 with a theme of ‘Into the Wild’. Parent Teacher Conferences will be held this week on Wednesday and Thursday. Royall will hold the State Solo and Ensemble event on April 6. The next board meeting will be held on Monday, April 22 at 7 pm.
Knights of Columbus ‘Movie Knight’ success CONTRIBUTED
ELROY WOMAN’S CLUB Jo Buttner (right) introduced the evening’s guest, Katie Gaynor (left), Regional Coordinator, Disaster Services of the American Red Cross. She spoke specifically about the work of the Disaster Action Team (DAT) services of Adams, Juneau, and surrounding counties. Club member Jo Buttner is a DAT member and a Juneau County Response Contact person. There are a total of 9 volunteers in the county. The Red Cross doesn’t necessarily work alone, but partners with many other response organizations nationwide. Their reason for immediate response at a site is not only to provide shelter and food, but to assist long-term, the victims who survived the disaster but have needs we don’t often think of. Their eyeglasses, prescription drugs, hearing aids and even dentures may have been lost, along with driver’s licenses and passports. Survivors are provided the tools they need to rebuild their identity and their lives. The club will donate the proceeds of the May Bake Sale to the Red Cross.
The Knights of Columbus Councils from District 20 which includes: St. Christopher Council 4295 Of Union Center, Wonewoc and Elroy, Fr. Cyril J. Smetana Council 9070 Hillsboro, Solomon Juneau Council 2770 Mauston, St. Anthony Council 8946 Cazenovia, & Wilton / Kendall Council 10158 are proud to announce a successful program. The name of this new program is Movie Knight. The Movie Knight Program will give our communities the opportunity to offer a Free movie for everyone and their families. There has been a movement in Hollywood to produce quality family orientated movies for all ages. It is important, and especially in today's economic times for families to have a chance to gather and have fellowship with their neighbors. How will the program work? First of all, it would not be Movie Knight without being able to show it on the big screen in a theater. Kari from the Elroy Theater is working with the Knights of Columbus to promote this great program. We are offering a free movie
on the second Saturday of every month. The time will be set at 4 PM giving moviegoers the opportunity to go out or go home for an evening meal. The movies will be promoted at the Elroy Theater, Calendar of events and the area newspapers. This is a great opportunity for your community to enjoy a free movie and fellowship with family and friends. Once we purchased the DVDs and show them on Movie Knight we will donate the DVDs to the Winding River Library System. Free Movies start 4 PM at the Elroy Movie Theater. The next movie selected is Midnight Stallion April 13th. Fifteen-yearold Megan Shephard and her parents will do anything to save their struggling farm. When the family discovers a wild stallion in a nearby forest they begin to wonder if this could be the answer to their prayers. Kris Kristofferson and Jodelle Ferland star in this heartwarming and inspiring tale that celebrates the spirit of family and the amazing courage and determination it takes to defeat all odds.

United Methodist Church Gardens CONTRIBUTED The Elroy United Methodist Church and the EUMC Community Garden is a participating community partner with the Royall Schools and the PEP Grant. Participating in the Health and Wellness Day grades K – 6 planted seeds that will be transplanted as seedlings late in May. The seedlings will either go home with the students or will be planted in the EUMC Community Garden. It’s hoped that this experience teaches the students a bit about gardening, where their food comes from, and possibly nurtures a lifelong healthy activity and attitude. You also have the opportunity to be involved in gardening this year. The Elroy United Methodist Church will make space available for local gardeners and want to be gardeners. Garden plots of 10 feet by 30 feet will be available. Help in getting started including suggestions on what and how to plant will also be offered from church members and the Hill and Dale Garden Club. The church provides the plots prepared for planting and those taking advantage of the space plant, care for, and harvest the produce for their personal use. Located at the Elroy United Methodist Church near Royall High School, these plots are available to you. Last year 15 plots were planted and up to 30 people from our community participated in the garden. The hot dry summer made it difficult for the gardeners, but many good vegetables and herbs were harvested. Tomatoes, potatoes, broccoli, basil, corn and onions are some of the healthy foods that were harvested. Gardening is an activity that can provide relaxation and peace of mind, exercise, and of course fresh healthy food items for your table. You are invited to take advantage of this opportunity at the EUMC Gardens. COME TO THE INTRODUCTORY MEETING AND SIGN UP SESSION. WHEN: 7:00 PM on Wednesday April 17, 2013 WHERE: United Methodist Church basement in Elroy on Royall Ave. WHAT: A description of the garden, the rules for gardeners, and sign up sheets will be available at the meeting. If you are a gardener at heart in need of a garden then please plan to attend! Everyone is welcomed! If you are unable to attend please call Craig Hanson at 462-5054 or the United Methodist Church at 462-5953 for the details.

Camp Douglas family devastated by Fire BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD
Last Wednesday the Camp Douglas Fire Department responded to a fire in the Town of Orange. Both the New Lisbon and Cutler fire departments assisted in battling the blaze. By Thursday morning the Red Cross had issued a press release stating that the home on the property had been a complete loss and their organization was assisting the family. That family is Lance and Tish Larson and their two children who have, since the fire, been working hard at rebuilding their lives including digging through the rubble that once was their family home in an effort to salvage what little they could. Their tragedy and an effort to rebuild their lives is one that the community and their family has rallied behind with support and donations. Included in the efforts of support is a fundraiser being organized by Tish's mother, Sandy Turner. According to Turner, Lance works for Kingston Township and formerly Orange Township. Tish is an employee of Toro and is president of Juneau County 4-H Leaders Association. The couple donates many hours to children’s events/sports and own Skeeter’s Small Engine Repair in New Lisbon. As for their children, Harley is in 7th grade at Tomah Schools
while Hayden is in 5th grade at Camp Douglas School. The fundraiser being organized by Turner will take place on Saturday, May 4th at the Traveler's Inn in New Lisbon. It is scheduled to run from 1 p.m. until 9 p.m. Turner is still in the process of organizing all the activities and volunteers.

Students Jump Rope for Heart with heart BY TASHA MUELLER Nearly 200 elementary students at Wonewoc-Center Elementary School took a break from their regular Phy. Ed classes with Ms. Price on Monday to jump rope, practice their balancing skills, and burn off some of their energy during the annual Jump Rope for Heart two day event. Ms. Price decided on this year’s event to give the kids something different to participate in as students did Hoops for Heart last year. Before jumping their hearts away, a few students were chosen to put hearts with their names on them on the wall showing how dedicated they were to the program. Students were led by a number of stretches before getting started. They then grouped up with two or three fellow classmates and chose one of nine stations on a rotation basis. Stations allowed students to show off their jump rope tricks, balance on pogo balls, double-dutch, entering and exiting, etc.
Serious goals aside, the event was a simple and fun way to promote a healthy and active lifestyle. Kids jumped, spun, laughed, and picked up the pace whenever they thought the camera was pointed at them. A few got tangled in their jump rope while others taught each other new tricks. Students have been practicing the ins and outs of jumping rope during classes throughout the year and had a joyous class time well spent. Monday’s donation total exceeded $1,500 as a goal of $2,000 hopes to be met after Tuesday’s participants jump over their limits. As an added bonus, the student who raises the most money will get the chance to throw a pie in the face of Ms. Price. Look in next week’s Messenger to see how much the students raised and who will be throwing that winning pie when the weather gets warmer.
THE THIRD GRADE class was able to participate in the two day event that promoted healthy, active lifestyles. So far, students were able to raise over $1,500 and hopes to go above $2,000 after second day totals are counted.
W-C SIXTH GRADE students were able
to burn off a lot of their energy through jump roping while raising money for the American Heart Association.
RAMC brings Bright Smiles to area students BY TASHA MUELLER In conjunction with the Reedsburg Area Medical Center (RAMC), the students at Wonewoc-Center will have an opportunity to participate in the “Bright Smiles” program. Did you know that tooth decay is the single most common chronic disease during childhood? As a first step in overcoming this disease, RAMC is proud to bring the Bright Smiles program to area classrooms. Tooth decay has become a nationwide issue that is reaching epidemic proportions as area schools are no exception. Oral health has been identified as an extremely high health need. Poor oral health can negatively impact so many parts of a person’s life and health – from the ability to talk, eat, sleep, and concentrate to loss of self-esteem, to being linked with both heart disease and diabetes. The first step has been taken into overcoming this health risk for the children and that was to bring the current information to classrooms. Through Bright Smiles, each participating child will receive toothbrushes and toothpaste for use to brush during the day at school and additional supplies to take home. Extra sets will also be available for those children who might not have adequate supplies at home. Bright
Smiles began implementing the program into 4k classrooms this school year but has rapidly expanded. RAMC strongly believe that the early development of proper oral hygiene habits is vital to improving the health of all area children. Many local Reedsburg businesses and dental offices have provided generous donations to begin the Bright Smiles program. Students at Wonewoc-Center in grades 4k through 5th grade will be taught the proper way to brush their teeth and what healthy foods to eat. The program is free to all students that have returned forms given to families at the beginning of the school year. RAMC has seen a significant difference in the amount of cavities in children that are participating in this program. A Flouride Connection program will be at WonewocCenter school on Monday, April 8 to perform fluoride treatments to students in grades 4k through 5th. Students will also be participating in the Seal-A-Smile program through Juneau County. For more information about this program, you may contact Wonewoc-Center’s school nurse Jennifer Thompson at 608464-3165 ext. 131.
Wonewoc Easter Egg Hunt rescheduled BY TASHA MUELLER With the weather not proving to be like the spring we had last year, the Easter bunny that was supposed to be in Wonewoc this past Saturday was unfortunately unable to show up due to the large amount of snow. But, there is good news in store for all Easter egg hunters from Wonewoc and Union Center. The Easter bunny will show up for his annual Easter appearance this Saturday, March 30 at 10 am in the Wonewoc Legion Park. He’s rounded up quite the egg collection which will be full of treats and candy that will be hidden throughout the park. The Easter bunny will be there to say hello and hand out bags of candy afterwards to all children that attend. The current weekend forecast shows warmer weather than what we have seen leading up to Easter with almost 40degree temperatures. So, if your child(ren) live in Wonewoc or Union Center, bring them to the Legion Park this Saturday for a great morning of Easter fun and excitement. Area groups and businesses will be sponsoring the event.

Annual Royall Elementary Family Fun Night a huge success BY TASHA MUELLER The annual Royall Elementary Family Fun Night was once again a large success due in large part to local businesses and plenty of volunteers. Many elementary students had the chance to play a countless amount of games run by elementary staff members and high school students. Kids were able to take a chance at winning prizes partaking in a bean bag toss, ring toss, plinko, basketball, golf, fishing and many other games with 15 activities to choose from. Much of the games proved to not only be fun but a learning experience where math was used. Other items for students included an obstacle course, face
painting, caricature drawings, and fun drawings of children’s names. Food and refreshments were donated by staff members or local businesses. And, for the silent auction there were a grand total of 126 gift baskets and 55 gift certificates. All proceeds raised goes right back to the school and will go towards items the school may need. In past years, the district has purchased bigger pieces of new playground equipment for the students. In other instances, the raised money also goes towards field trips and classroom materials. All in all, everyone had fun throughout the night and next year’s Family Fun Night should prove just the same.
The Elementary Library was packed full of donated silent auction items up for grabs. There were 126 gift baskets and 55 gift certificates that raised money to go towards items or events for the school. TASHA MUELLER PHOTO

Cheep Jamboree and Parade CONTRIBUTED BY CITIZENS HELPING ELROY EFFECT PRIDE It was recently the First Day of Spring and bitter cold, being in a parade is probably one of the furthest things from your mind. Well I am asking you to consider putting it on your To Do List. Since February, I have been planning the Spring Fling Jamboree and Parade. It will be the same parade route as the Easter Parade but instead of an Easter theme I would like to showcase all the Groups, Churches and Businesses in the area. We have so many amazing business and churches that dot our landscape and hidden gems here that do not have offices and/or store fronts and that we all need to be proud of; why not showcase them in a parade. There will also be outside
space available down in the Commons if you would like to set up a table to sell your products or promote your organization. I look forward to working with you. Please contact me if you are interested in participating. Date: April 20, 2013 at 10:30am Theme: Royal Bouquet - Showcasing the Bouquet of Groups, Churches and Businesses in the Elroy area Check In: 10am in front of the Commons Building (behind the Fire Station on Railroad St.) Deadline: If you are interested in bring in the Parade please contact me by April 15thIf you are interested in participating in the Jamboree please contact me ASAP Contact: Paris Dudzinski – Paris’ Place 120 Main Street, Elroy - Cell: 608-547-7015

Stanek named SBC Player of the Year BY TASHA MUELLER After an arousing Scenic Bluffs Conference girls’ basketball season, the Lady Tigers were able to end the season with a four-way conference title in their hands after suffering two conference losses at the beginning of the season. The Lady Tigers finished the year 18-6 overall and tied with Brookwood, Royall, and Bangor at 10-4 in conference play. For the second year in a row, Hilary Stanek was named the SBC Player of the Year, which is quite the accomplishment. The 5’6” senior guard overcame a stressful knee injury and was never 100 percent throughout the season. Stanek led Hillsboro in both scoring, 13 points per game and assists, 3 assists per game. She was also voted a member of the 10-player first team. Stanek was joined on the first team by senior teammate Ali Brey.
Brey averaged nearly 10 points per game and led the team in steals and minutes played. She led the team on the free throw line by sinking 74.5 percent of her charity shots. Junior Sami Levy was two votes shy of making the all-conference team. The 6’ forward received Honorable Mention along with senior CJ Hofmeister. Sami will look to be a tough force to handle for next year’s squad. Sami led the team in rebounding and blocked shots while shooting 40 percent offensively. Levy averaged 9 points and 8 rebounds per game during the conference season. Hofmeister scored over 100 points during her senior season and played well on the defensive end. Senior Mirrissa Williamson was the team’s choice as the year’s Sportsmanship Award winner. Hofmeister averaged 4.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in 23

NOTICE OF SPRING ELECTION AND SAMPLE BALLOTS April 2, 2013 OFFICE OF THE JUNEAU COUNTY CLERK TO THE ELECTORS OF JUNEAU COUNTY: Notice is hereby given of a spring election to be held in Juneau County, on the 2nd day of April, at which the officers named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for each office to be voted for, 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, if any, 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 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 or machine. 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 ballot, 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.

Letter to the Editor Republican. Democrat. Independent. Undecided. People overwhelmingly agree that the influence of money in our politics, government, and courts is blatant and undermines the very core of our democracy. It’s an unfortunate reality that after Citizen’s United, the ruling that said corporations are people and money is free speech, Americans face the prospect of one or two billionaires deciding their election. How do those without a limitless cash dispensary, fight back? We watch, we listen, we learn, we discuss, and most importantly we VOTE. And VOTE every election. This April election is no exception. On the ballot is State Superintendent, State Supreme Court as well as various municipal and school board races. This election may not get the press of a presidential one, but it will directly affect Wisconsinites for more than a decade. On April 2nd, I’ll be casting my votes for Ed Fallone and Tony Evers. I believe that Ed is dedicated to impartiality, would foster equity and transparency in the court, and have the courage we need now more than ever to face political pressure. Since Tony has assumed the State Superintendent’s role he has done an excellent job of balancing the needs of our children, schools, and teachers. I believe both of these candidates are what we need to keep us moving FORWARD. Sarah Ann Shanahan Chair-Democratic Party of Juneau County

Comment
R I V E R
BY NANCY J SCHNEIDER Well, it’s been two months now since Ray had his accident. A lot has happened during this time frame. Some of it good, some not so good, some scary and some just plain unknown. However, he is making progress a little at a time and I’m very happy about that. One thing that has nothing to do with him that has me baffled is that I haven’t read anything in two months. Oh I don’t mean that I lost my ability to read per se, I still read my devotions, my email, the newspaper and the mail. Rather I’m talking about novels. I haven’t read a single book in two months. Yet I’m the person who read about two or three books a week! It’s like I’m reading words, but it’s not registering or something. I could read the same page over and over and still not know what I read. That’s a bit scary. I love to read. I have stacks and stacks of books, some read some waiting to be read. Why can’t I concentrate on them now? It’s like I’ve totally lost my desire to read. I mean, I pick up a book and look at it and then think “Nah” and put it back where it was. I have one I started the day before his accident and I haven’t gotten past the chapter I was in at the time. And it’s a good book! I used to be able to loose myself in a good book. I’d read and the world would fade away and I’d be in the story. Now when I really want and need something to “take me away” I can’t find that comfort in my books. I find that hard to believe but it’s true. And it baffles me. After all Ray lost his memory, not me. So why did I lose my “secret hiding place” of reading and escaping into the book world. I truly do not understand. Thankfully I still have my dogs and they still give me comfort. Granted they can also drive me a bit bonkers because they do know things are different and are trying to figure them out I guess. But this - if they’re in they want out and if they’re out they want in - situation is getting a bit old. I can’t even let them sit and stew out there cause it’s too darn cold. I know it’s because they feel my frustration or whatever it is as I pace around the house, but gimmie a break guys and settle down. Then again if I settled maybe they would, too.
But if I sit too long, I find a dog on one side and a dog on the other both trying to “kiss away the hurt” and while I don’t mind dog kisses, they can carry that too far, too. I never thought I’d see the day when dog kisses were rejected. Then again I never thought I’d see a day when I couldn’t read a good book. So yes my life has changed almost as much as Ray’s. Granted he was the one who was physically hurt and I wasn’t, but life changed for more than just Ray! It affected so many, so much. My dogs were never left alone so much, there was almost always someone home with them or they went along. I was totally spoiled and didn’t have to shovel, take care of plumbing, or haul up wood or take care of cleaning the wood stove. And I took it all for granted. I know now that I did but I didn’t know it then. Back in my old life I figured that’s just the way it worked. You see, I went from my father’s house to my husband’s house and I never lived alone. I never was the one making major decisions, I just sorta went with what I was told to do. So when reality hit and I had to do some of those things, I’m afraid I’m not doing such a good job. It’s funny cause I thought - well I can cook the things I like instead of worrying if Ray will like it or not. So I cooked up my favorite sauerkraut, rice, hamburger casserole that I love and he hates and guess what? It didn’t taste as good as I remember. The dogs got an awful lot of it. Which is not like me because I don’t like giving dogs people food! So you see how mixed up a person can get. I’m sure it will all straighten out and I’ll get my head screwed back on soon, but until then it’s been one heck of a ride. I don’t recommend it to anyone. Until next week when hopefully I’ll be in a better mood I’ll leave you with this NOnonsense thought: Smiling doesn’t change the circumstances but it saves mental health counseling fees. n Nancy J Schneider is a member of The Wisconsin Regional Writers Association and writes freelance.

Nature of Things BY MARK DAHLKE
If someone had told me I would spend three weekends chasing largemouth bass this winter, I would have told them to find some medication. Yet, between early February and March, brother Scott, son Logan, friend Scott Thompson, his son Stewart, and I found ourselves on a remote flowage in Jackson County. Perhaps more surprising than coordinating five different schedules for those weekends was the terrific fishing we experienced. Both the number of fish caught and the overall size of the bass was an unexpected surprise. However, like most fishing tales, details of size or the number of fish landed get lost in translation. Length, poundage, antler scores, and beard size seldom tell the back-story and often fall with a thud in the midst of a good story. Over the last 25 years, a group of friends who grew up together in Wonewoc meets several times a year at Scott Thompson’s cabin near Warrens, Wisconsin. The cabin has served as a haven over the years. With most of this tight knit group, who are now past mid-life, time has ushered in some trials into the lives of the cabin’s inhabitants: divorce, job loss, new careers, childrearing challenges, and other personal issues. We lived through broken hearts, broken pocketbooks, and broken spirits within the confines of a few weekends scattered throughout the year. The cabin has served as a safe harbor in life’s storms, providing an open ear and unwanted advice from some of its inhabitants. After a cold day on the ice or a long drive across the state, entering the cabin is like stepping into an alternate reality. The cabin casts a peaceful spell, lulling one into the belief that real life is just in our imaginations - if only for a couple of days.
Friends, some of whom you may not have seen for months, greet you. The banter is familiar, as this group shares a long, rich history. There are no inside jokes, because there are no secrets among us; if the joke is not about you, you are at least in on it. A Franklin stove, a welcoming friend, sits in the corner radiating warmth with an eerie, almost smiling, orange glow. Two, 30-year-old Lazy Boy recliners lie in wait, inviting anyone to collapse within their deep, cushioned confines and fall asleep. There are no rules at the cabin about napping. My brother Scott is usually conjuring up a meal of fish, fried potatoes, onions, and grilled venison. Abandoning healthy eating habits is just another way to escape at the cabin. Life there allows for guilt-free pizzas at midnight during a game of cards, breakfasts of sausage and eggs, and four-entrée suppers - with dessert. Years ago, getting away for the cabin rituals took tough negotiating with wives. It took the skills of a lawyer to broker the deals that left our wives with kids who had runny noses and dirty diapers. Today, with most of our children grown and out of the house, we seldom face those kinds of quandaries. Truth be told; our wives probably care less what we do on weekends anymore. Instead of frantically packing up on Sunday mornings to get home, things now are a little more laid back. On a recent Sunday, someone said, “Does anyone want to stay and fish?” One by one, we responded with something like, “Heck yeah. I don’t have anything to get back for”. Before we knew it, we were in the trucks and heading back to the flowage. This brings us to this winter’s ice-fishing obsession. The first weekend was cold and windy, but the fish cooperated. Between the steady barrages of bass grabbing our shiners, we ate grilled venison, chili, and sampled Scott’s homemade beer that tasted
Taking Refuge
An Outdoorsman’s Journal
BY STEVE NORLING
The calendar says that spring is here but I will have to take issue with that. As we remember the seventy and near eighty degree days at this time last year, it is hard to get used to having snow and near zero weather this year. For those of you who like snowshoeing and cross-country skiing there are still excellent snow conditions on the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge. Unfortunately the visitor center is closed on Saturday until further notice because of sequester, so you cannot check out snowshoes on Saturday. However, for those of you who can get out there during the week you can still check out snowshoes. There is never any cost for the use of them, just make sure they are back by 4:00 PM when the visitor center closes. Us humans are not the only ones hoping for spring to come soon. There are a lot of birds and waterfowl that are back here and looking for open water and warmer weather. There are trumpeter swans, sandhill cranes, various ducks and several species of songbirds that have returned and have no place to go. For those of you who can feed songbirds, now is a good time to do so. Now is when the poor birds that returned and found that Mother Nature has played a nasty trick on them need all the help they can get. I have not seen any whoopers back from the south but that does not necessarily mean that none have. If things were near normal as far as the weather is concerned it is right about now that the Canada geese would begin to nest. I do not believe that they will be able to find any place to nest this year so they will be late in getting started. The tundra swans should begin passing through about this time of the year. I doubt if they will even stop at the refuge unless we have some warm weather to melt at least some of the ice. For those of you that have oak trees on your property, they are susceptible to oak wilt from now until the beginning of winter with the first hard frost of the autumn. At the refuge there is usually a cancellation of all firewood cutting as of April 1st. This is mainly to keep oak wilt from being spread to other areas. One of the things that this late spring brings to my mind is what it will do to the nesting of the whooping cranes. Many people believe that one of the reasons that whoopers abandon their nests is that they nest too early. With this year’s weather there is going to be no way that they can nest as early as they have in the past. Will this make a difference in the amount of abandoned nests that occur? As biologist Brad Strobel was in a meeting when I was at the refuge this week, I was unable to get his opinion on my thoughts. Hopefully I will get to talk to him next week and get his thoughts on the subject. This column will be published in Thursday’s paper and on Friday March 29th we will be judging the Junior Duck Stamp contest. Once again we have five excellent judges and hopefully there will be a lot of excellent art. It seems as there is a little less than there has been in the past. This could be because a number of schools have cut back their art courses due to budget constraints. For those of you who believe that the wolves are decimating the deer population, I have some good news. I have been seeing more deer this spring than I have in a couple of years. Just this week I saw a group of five along one of the town roads. I am also seeing one and two almost every time I am on the refuge for any length of time. Remember, even though there is still ice on Sprague and Goose pools, there is no fishing on them until June 1st. As I have written before, this is to protect migrating waterfowl and shorebirds. Most years by this time there are large groups of both on these pools. This year, because of the weather, I am not sure we will see the groups we usually do. We can only hope. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”
something like the bad side of ditch water. As flags went up, we developed a routine: With an established rotation, the next guy up hopped on the four-wheeler, while another person drove, and then sped off toward the tip-up. Before the four-wheeler skidded to a stop, the guy on the back jumped off, carefully approached the tip-up, and watched the spool spin as a hungry bass tore off line. Most times, we were lucky enough to land the fish, take pictures, and release it back into the frigid underworld. Between the good fishing, tasty meals, and hours of solitude, there was plenty of incentive to meet again the next weekend. With more moderate temperatures than the week before, we huddled inside the shanty as freezing rain pounded the canvas. Despite the nasty weather, the fish still cooperated and kept us running. Our last weekend fishing in March had the four-wheeler busy again, answering the calls from bass that ran off with our minnows. It was another fun weekend, as good, if not better than the previous two. All too soon, the sun descended late Sunday afternoon and the action slowed. As we packed up our gear, we took one last look around; for we knew, it would be a long time before we would be able to come back. The sunset and darkened spruce and pine on the shoreline framed the scene perfectly. Unspoken, but understood by each of us, was that the magic of those three weekends may not happen again. That is until turkey season in April, bluegill fishing in July, bow hunting in October, and deer hunting in November. Then, of course, there is the annual ice-fishing weekend.
Spring outing on the Wisconsin River BY MARK WALTERS
Hello friends March is by far the most difficult month for a seasoned outdoor adventures writer. Most hunting and trapping seasons are closed, ice fishing is not near as popular of a subject as it was earlier in the winter, and then there is the unpredictable weather. This March is one of my toughest in my career, it seems like every trip I plan gets cancelled because of too much mud in a river, too much ice at the boat landings, or too cold of weather, which quite often stops a fish bite. This week I decided to do something simple and safe, which would be fishing for northern pike out of my canoe on the Wisconsin River, very close to my house in Juneau County. Wednesday, March 20th High 17, low minus 2 I have to take the blame for today’s 17-degree high on the first day of spring. Back in January, I wrote “let it be cold with deep snow until the end of March”, I had no idea that I had so much pull with Mother Nature (I wonder what she looks like, think she’s single). My plan today had me scared and to be perfectly honest, it is very rare that I am scared. I was going to fish below the Petenwell dam from my canoe and tonight I was going to sleep in my canoe or somewhere on shore. I would use large bobbers baited with the biggest shiners that I could find, anchor in the area of the dam and probably catch a world record gator. Here was the main problem with my plan, it has been windy for days, that is not good when fishing out of a canoe in a high of 17 and low of minus 2. To make matters worse, when I went to get my canoe out of storage, “flipped upside down on the ground with 18- inches of snow on top of it” she was thoroughly froze to the ground. So I drive to the dam and talk to my buddy Dusty Durst who is a heck of a local fisherman and the young operator of Petenwell Landing Bait Shop. Dusty does not have good thoughts about my plan or a good report on the fish catching (yesterday I drove down here and I was the only person to make tracks in the snow). Anyways, I am down to 36-hours and the deadline for this column will be upon me so live or die, I gotta try! I rig my canoe and start paddling out to sea, the pull on my homemade kayak paddle warms me up, and I am loving life. Next, I anchor about 50-yards from the dam, throw out two shiner-bobber rigs and a dead stick with a fathead for walleye. The very next thing that I realize is that it is scary cold out and I have the only canoe on this portion of the river, actually the only watercraft, and other then three guys from Minneapolis who were on a scheduled vacation for the “walleye run”. After about three hours, I relocated down river about a mile and really enjoyed a non-stop flight of ducks, geese, and swans. Towards dark, I was getting rather chilled and kept remembering the five times that I have suffered severe hypothermia, each time it permanently froze 18-percent of my brain cells. With just 10-percent left, I looked to the west; just beyond the trees, there is a field, on the other side of that field is my house. In that house is my woodstove and I am thinking home sweet home, I will let you guess where I slept tonight.

Thursday, March 21st, High 25, low minus 4 I was totally into my fishing today and did everything that I could think of to catch a big gator. Once I was anchored near the east side of a dam, a half-acre ice sheet came in and removed me from that spot. I moved to a new honey hole and soon after had my chance at a big kahuna. The large sucker bobber started running, and then vanished under the extremely cold water. I no longer cared about anything; if I fell in I was not letting go of the rod. I had either a big musky or northern pike on and fought it while standing in my canoe. Three times it came very close to the canoe but was too deep to reach with my net. On the last run, the next Wisconsin state record gator spit the hook and I was once again reduced to being just an average guy in a canoe trying to earn a living. Later I caught a humongous perch on a fathead, which ended the skunk on this two-day adventure. Very curious about Mother Nature! Sunset

Wisconsin River Co-Op and Farmers’ Co-Op form Allied Cooperative March 21, 2013 – Last November Wisconsin River Co-op of Adams and Farmers’ Co-op Supply & Shipping Association of West Salem announced merger plans. After several months of planning and preparation, the merger of the two co-ops will be complete on April 1, 2013. The new cooperative has been named “Allied Cooperative”. Allied Cooperative’s CEO Timothy Diemert commented on the merger completion: “Throughout the merger process, the employees from both companies have demonstrated great dedication, and have remained focused on exceeding the needs of the customers we serve. We are eager to work together as a team to build a stronger company. By combining forces we will be better equipped to keep up with our customer’s growing needs and expectations.” “We will improve the utilization of our facilities and equipment. We will add efficiency to our sales and delivery routes. We will also be better positioned for growth and have
increased access to capital. These advantages are just a few of the many that have been identified. Each of these advantages will strengthen our leadership position in the marketplace and help to ensure the long-term success of our cooperative.” Cooperative customers can expect “business as usual”. While internal processes will be streamlined to improve efficiencies, the cooperative plans to continue operations throughout its territory. “Right now, very little will change,” said Diemert. “Customers will have access to the same products and services they have come to expect from their co-op. Their account teams won't change, but they will have more support backing them up, and that’s a good thing. Our primary goal in this process is to make the transition as smooth and seamless as possible for our customers.” This spring, Allied Cooperative will open a brand new fertilizer plant located on Estate Road in Tomah. The plant was
constructed in order to better meet the needs of its customers in the Tomah area. The new plant includes 8,000 ton of dry crop nutrient storage and 1,800 ton of liquid blending capacity. Construction has also begun on a grain plant at the same location with 1.166 million bushel capacity, which will be open for the 2013 fall harvest season. In addition, there will be a full array of crop scouting and precision ag services operating from this facility. Allied Cooperative was formed when the members of Wisconsin River Co-op and Farmers’ Co-op Supply and Shipping Association overwhelmingly approved a plan to merge the two cooperatives. The co-op’s roots date back to 1917. Its services include iemertagronomy, feed, grain, LP, refined fuels, hardware, tires, auto parts and convenience stores. It has operations in Adams, Galesville, Mauston, Melrose, Mindoro, Necedah, Plainfield, Plover, Tomah, West Salem and Wisconsin Dells.
