Mauston man assaulted The Mauston Police Department is investigating an assault incident that possibly occurred early Sunday morning April 13th.
Dispatch was notified by the Hess Memorial Hospital emergency room at approximately 4:00 a.m. that a male subject was assaulted “somewhere on State Street�.
The 29-year old Mauston man was eventually transported to UW Hospital in Madison with severe facial injuries. Further details are pending investigation at this time.
Grenade unearthed and detonated in Hillsboro According to reports, on the morning of Tuesday, April 8th, residents in the Hillsboro area heard an explosion. That explosion was the result of a pineapple grenade that was discovered the previous day near the intersection of County Highway F and Wernick Avenue. When the grenade was discovered, local law enforcement were contacted and secured the scene until members of the Madison 115th EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) were able to survey the situation. Reports go on to state the grenade was secured and transported to Firemen's Memorial Park where C4 explosives were used to destroy the ammunition. Investigators believe the grenade had been unearthed due to frost pushing it to the surface after being buried underground for an extended period of time.
BOBCAT CAUGHT ON TRAILCAM This bobcat was caught on a trail cam near New Lisbon on March 23rd at 6:54 a.m. Landowner Travis Grob was kind enough to share the photo of the very healthy big cat with The Messenger. These animals are very elusive, but are becoming more of a common sight in the area. Several readers facebooked The Messenger saying they had also recently spotted a bobcat, assuming it may be the same cat. While bobcats are not thought to pose a danger to humans, never approach or feed a wild animal. The Messenger always invites area residents to send us your wildlife photos.

LOIS PERMELIA HARRIS
Lois Permelia Harris, age 90 years, of Hillsboro, passed away on Friday, April 11, 2014 at Milestone Senior Living in Hillsboro, Wisconsin.

Lois met the love of her life while she was working at the UW Union in Madison. Alver Harris was a Texas native stationed at Truax Field. He told his friend the first time he saw Lois that she was the one he was going to marry! And he did – April 26, 1946. Lois and Alver moved to Austin, Texas in 1951, and lived there until Alver’s death in 2002, when Lois returned to Wisconsin to be closer to her family. She was an active member of the First Congregational Church and enjoyed working at the Good Samaritan Thrift Store. She loved to spend time with her family, garden, bake, and crochet – her “pot scrubbers” are legendary! Lois’ faith in God, beautiful smile, sweet southern drawl, love of life, wonderful sense of humor, and genuine concern for others, endeared her to everyone she met. Lois is survived by her brother, Leo Wong of Hillsboro, sister-in-law, Angeline Boggiano of Hillsboro, nine nieces, seven nephews, relatives and special friends in Wisconsin and Texas. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her sister and brother-in-law, Lucille and Virgil Myers, her brother, Arthur Wong, her sister-in-law, Doris Wong, sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Wynette and Maydell Harris, and sister-in-law and brother-in-law Helen and Carl Hudson.

New Lisbon Schools approve fitness discount for seniors BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Individuals over the age of 60 can now workout at the New Lisbon School District's fitness center at a reduced rate. At Monday evening's meeting of the school board, board members approved a 25% discount bringing the monthly fee of $20 down to $15. Board members stated that in recent weeks they had been approached by members of the community who are on a fixed income wanting a reduction so that they can use the facility. According to Superintendent Dennis Birr the fitness center is nearing breaking even. Birr and board members expressed that providing the discount may bring in more area residents to use the facility, which will also be good for the school as they will be more aware of the other happenings within the district and what the students are accomplishing. The gym floor will be under going an over due refinishing. Board members approved a bid of $19,900 from Basemans Floor, a company based in Appleton. There was much discussion on how to protect the floor once refinished including the possibility of laying down tarps for assemblies
and other events when the gym is utilized for a non sporting event. The last time the floor was refinished was 15 years ago. Contracts for the 20142015 school year were approved for both the teaching staff and support staff. Board members also approved the support staff's compensation scale. Board members approved hiring Julie Goers as the district's new school nurse. Goers comes to the New
Lisbon School District from the Mauston School District where she has been employed as a school nurse. Board members approved the resignation of Business Education teacher Nancy Mischler. Mischler has been with the district for two years and will be pursuing furthering her career closer to her hometown. Superintendent Birr announced that recently he has met with representatives from the two banks located

Tough decisions looming for Mauston School Board BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Last Tuesday evening Mauston School Board members and the administrative staff met with representatives from Bray Architects for a workshop session. Items discussed included the future of the District's buildings and the possible cost saving options in closing a building or two, and moving grades into other existing buildings. Representatives from Bray Architects presented the board with various options from a building configuration study. At the Tuesday meeting they handed out a packet highlighting three options, all of which has both the Lyndon Station and West Side schools earmarked as closures. All present stressed that the options are suggestions and that as of now there are no plans to close any of the schools. All noted that regardless of the decisions that are to be made, the district is looking at $300,000 in cuts in the next budget and more cuts in
the following years. Board members also discussed the possibility of bringing a Montessori charter to the Lyndon Station School. In order for the district to create a charter school they must apply for a planning grant. By the time the board is able to vote on applying for the application a deadline would have passed. Julie LankeySmallwoord, Business Director for the District, stated that Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has provided the district with an extension to apply. The first year of the grant is for planning only, it then is followed by two years of funding, after that time a charter school will need to be self sustaining. Currently, the district has iLEAD Charter School which is housed within the high school building. The planning for iLead started when then Director of Curriculum, Lynette Livingston along with staff from the high school, approached the board with the idea of a charter school
for children who "think out of the box." According to board member Dan Berkos there is still quite a bit of discussion that needs to happen before any decision can be made. Some of that discussion may include a referendum. With the district facing budget cuts while needing to maintain their buildings one option looked at was a maintenance referendum for either the Fall 2014 or Spring 2015 election. Present in the audience at the meeting were Angela Locken and Jill Biederman, representatives and parents from the Lyndon Station PTC. After the Tuesday meeting Locken and Biederman issued the following statement: "We are very excited the school board is open to looking at other options for Lyndon Station Elementary. However, we have very big concerns over the proposed option of becoming a charter school. One of our biggest is the financial aspect. As they mentioned at the meeting tonight, the expenses would
Mauston School Board members are looking the options for Lyndon Station Elementary and West Side Elementary for the future. be covered for the first couple of years through a grant, but then our school would have to take on the full responsibility of the operating expenses. Not the Mauston School District. Can Lyndon Station community support our school on its
own? We are open to looking into the option of the Charter School, but do not want to feel rushed into it. At this point there is no reason to make this decision right away, we could do it the next year when we know what we're getting into."
Another workshop meeting with Bray Architects has been scheduled for May 5th at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held in the district office. The meeting is open to the public, however, there will be no public participation during the session.

After investigating the issue it was determined that lightning struck Dairyland Power’s line which in turn damaged a relay. Staff worked diligently to get the generators started and restore power, but with the relay damaged, it limited the generators output. After troubleshooting and fixing the issue, power was fully restored by 1:30 p.m. It is extremely important that in the event of a power outage that you do not call the Electrical Superintendent directly, nor should you show up at the Powerhouse or Substation, and never, and I repeat NEVER enter the Substation. It is extremely important that you stay away from the work zone so that our staff can restore power as quickly and safely as possible. In order for the City of Elroy Electric Utility to provide you with safe and reliable electricity we ask that you call Juneau County Dispatch at 608-847-5649 or the Elroy Powerhouse at 608-462-2415 in the event you have an electrical issue or experience a power outage. If it is an emergency please dial 9-1-1. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 608-462-2400.
LIBRARY LAWN READY FOR SPRING The Elroy library will be closed on Friday, April 18th at 1 p.m. in observance of Good Friday. We will be open on Saturday, as usual. On Monday, we will show the movie “Frozen” in our meeting room at 1 p.m. Both kids and grownups are welcome. It is rated PG, and runs for 102 minutes. Did you know that every fall and spring Royall High School’s FFA class does yard work at the library? Students come to clip shrubs, haul away the clippings, and generally neaten up the grounds. They even deal with those spiny barberry bushes! Thank you kids, and additional thanks to Beth Kolodzinski for organizing the workdays.

Elroy Ambulance transitioning
Elroy Area Ambulance is in the process of changing from an all-volunteer service to a parttime paid staffing model that would allow for 24 hour 911 emergency coverage along with interfaculty transfer services. This shift in direction was presented to the Elroy Ambulance Association Board in July of 2013 by then president, Joe Sukana and current president, Steve Shaw. The major concern was that the Elroy Area Ambulance could no longer provide the services, through an all-volunteer service, due to the declining number of volunteers. Another concern was that the emergency care service needed to support the local communities would have to be outsourced to distant and more expensive ambulances services. The solution presented to the Association Board allows Elroy Area Ambulance to provide services to our communities and keep the emergency care dollars, spent by our residents, here to be utilized in support of the Elroy Area Ambulance Service. Beginning July of 2013 the ambulance service started with several part-time employees to enhance the volunteer force and provide 911 service from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. November of 2013 we saw the addition of patient transfer services added to the five day schedule. Volunteers and part-time employees were asked to shift their focus from
occasional assistance to a more involved participation. The reimbursements that the Elroy Ambulance Service receives from the patient transfer service aid in the funding of the Ambulance Service. Through the next few months it became evident that there was need for more extensive coverage. In January 2014 the service made a major change in which to provide around the clock coverage. This required a larger part-time staff which is now comprised of 36 individuals from within and outside of the local area. This blend of person-
nel has enabled the ambulance service to provide 911 response immediately and patient transfer service at the hospital within 30 minutes of notification. This group of dedicated professionals is making the transition possible. The Elroy Area Ambulance is currently seeking more EMS professionals who would like to be part of supporting the service. If interested please call 608-547-6300 to learn more. The next step that Elroy Area Ambulance is working towards is to advance the service from an EMT-Basic to the Advanced EMT level. This would mean

COMMUNITY CLOSET CONTRIBUTES
The New Lisbon Community Closet Resale store recently made two contributions to area service organizations. In the picture above, New Lisbon fire chief Lynn Willard (left) received a $500 check from Closet volunteer Ron Lauden for the purchase of a portable utility light. "The 500 watt telescoping light comes in very good use," Willard said, "when we have night fires and have a dark area."
This is the second light the closet has donated in recent years. The picture top right, shows Gladys (Carter) Harrison, right, presenting a $500 donation to Helen Wiora (left), and Carol Wilkinson (center) both volunteers at the New Lisbon Food Pantry.

Oath taken by new supervisors BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD On Tuesday morning Juneau County Circuit Court Judge John Roemer administered the oath of office to the Board of Supervisors. New to the board are five members, four of which were elected by voters; Margie Strouse representing the 3rd district, Gary Frie representing the 10th district, Scott Wilhorn representing the 12th district, and Tim Cottingham representing the 18th district. The other new member is Ken Schneider who was appointed by board chairman Alan Peterson upon the resignation of board member Joan Koscal. Schneider represents the 20th district. Supervisors then voted unanimously for Peterson to remain the Chairman, Ed Brown to serve as Vice Chairman and Mike Kelley as Second Vice Chairman. Supervisors elected to serve for two years on the Juneau County Public Works Committee were David Arnold, Dennis Kolba, Ed Brown, Mike Kelley, and Rodney Seamans. As for the other committees, Chairman Peterson will make the appointments. Recognition In two separate resolutions the board gave recognition to former members Joan Koscal and Herbert Carlson for their years of service to the County. Koscal was first elected in 2002 and Carlson in 1994. Both served up to the most recent April 1st elections.
Koscal served as a member of the Industrial and Recreation, Human Services, Revolving Loan, Community Action, Personnel, Insurance, Long Term Support, Family Support, Health, Winding Rivers Library Board, Safety Loss Control, Union Negotiation, Reorganization, Juneau County Economic Development, and Wisconsin County Human Services Association committees. Carlson served on the Bond and Insurance, Industrial and Recreation, Landfill, Solid Waste and Recycling, Safety Loss Control and Risk Management, Sheriff and Jail Committee, Finance and Computer, Union Negotiation, Merit Board, and Peace and Good Order Committee. Going Paperless Juneau County Economic and Development Director Terry Whipple introduced Dane Deutsch owner of DCS Netlink in Rice Lake. DCS Netlink is a full service information technology company. Deutsch spoke about a product that could allow for better communication among supervisors and agencies, while at the same time providing savings to the county. That product is the Google Apps Supervisors, according to Deutsch, would be able to use any internet device and log into Google Apps to view and share information. They would be able to communicate needed revisions to documents without the need of printing it is first. "There's no need to upgrade
software. Google Apps is net based," he said. He went on to state that the company provides training on how to use the product. Peterson stated that the committee would look at the possibilities, including any savings, and bring it back to the board for further discussion, and possibly a vote. Land Sale A parcel of land in the Town of Necedah was sold to Justin and Shyleena Dettinger in the amount of $8,000, the same amount as the minimum bid that was set. The property was taken in 2012 for unpaid taxes in the amount of $1,185.14. Just over one and a quarter acre of land, which also included a building was sold to Daniel Hunkins for his bid of $93,500. The land and building were part of the Necedah Golf Course. There is still yet another parcel to be sold. Both parcels were taken in 2013 for $110,434.75 in unpaid taxes. The County just recently listed and sold equipment that was stored in the clubhouse. Those sales netted $30,000. Vacant Positions Board members approved filling two positions left open due to resignations. The first position is office manager in the Sheriff's Department. It is a class grade 10 position with a pay scale of $16.02 - $19.49. The other position is in the Department of Human Services as an outpatient clinician. It is a class grade 20 position with a pay scale of $24.58 - $31.23.
Kendall Public Library news BY LYNETTE VLASAK I'm a little late in getting the word out, but the library in cooperation with Culver’s is sponsoring a children’s coloring contest in honor of National Library Week, April 13-19. Stop in at the library to pick up the contest sheet and when you return it to the library you will receive a coupon for a free Culver’s

Stop in or call the library if you are interested. The day and time will be set after we have our four enrollees. Our new online catalog continues to be refined and
some of the quirks worked out. There have been problems with hold notifications and some other details. We appreciate your patience as we continue to work on the new system. The library will close from noon until 3 p.m. on Friday, April 18, in observance of Good Friday. Please plan accordingly.
New Lisbon Visual Arts students compete in state competition BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Last Friday the New Lisbon Visual Arts Classic team took to the road and traveled to Edgewood College in Madison for a state competition. The students who participated in the event had recently came in 1st place at a regional competition that was held in Mauston. The theme of the competition was Arts and Storytelling and the New Lisbon held their own at the state meet. Dante Day and Khylie Steele competed in the drawing category, both receiving 2nd place on their long term projects. Day took home a 1st place on his site project and Steele placed second. A site project is one that tests the students ability to be creative and quick thinking skills as the projects are created on site, the day of the competition. Competing in the ceramic category was Michelle Larsen and Alex Schnider who both received 2nd place on their long term projects, and 1st on their on-site projects.
Sierra Friske showed off her sculpting talents by receiving 3rd place on her long term project and 1st place for her on site project. Visual Arts Classic team member Amanda Kippenhan received 1st on both her long term and site projects. The Visual Arts Classic is a competition which engages High School students in creative problem solving within their chosen studio area. Each year a theme is selected along with twelve artists and/or cultures for the students to study in-depth. VAC offers eleven studio categories for students to choose from including: Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Ceramics, Sculpture, Art History, Computer Graphic Design, Traditional Photography, Personal Adornment, Video, and Digital Photography. Students are provided with a long term prompt that they solve prior to the Regional competition. They compose an artist statement that explains the aesthetic choices made in their long term project.
Monday afternoon the Community Room of the Hatch Public Library in Mauston was bursting at the seams with area residents and their vintage treasures. Each of those treasures had a personal story which was told by their owner as expert appraiser Mark Horan provided even more details into the history of the piece and it's value. Horan has made appearances on the popular public television show Antiques Roadshow and found his way to Mauston as a guest of the library. Horan spent three hours examining over a hundred items, giving each one and it's owner an entertaining valuation. Pictured above, Carol Miller brought in a Seth Miller kitchen clock and learned that the key wind piece of history had a value ranging up to $100. Miller told Horan that she has thought about getting the wood on the clock refinished but had been told it would take away from it's antique value. Horan stated that while many in the antique business caution not to refinish vintage items made of wood, he was not of the same opinion and felt bringing life back to the dull finish would increase interest in the clock for collectors.

Rainforest Animals take center stage BY TASHA MUELLER Do you happen to know what a Kinkajou is? How about a Macaw? These animals, plus many more were on display for a large audience Thursday evening as head animal handler Mike Kohlrieser of Wapakoneta, Ohio showed one exotic animal after another on the Hillsboro High School stage during his show, “Live on Stage, The Rain Forest.” Earlier in the day, students from Wonewoc-Center and Hillsboro were given presentations focused on educating children on the animal life found in the rain forests and why help is needed if these endangered species are to survive. While many parents stood near the entrances or sat in the bleachers at Hillsboro, a large majority of the children sat, or at least attempted to sit, and watched intently as Kohlrieser presented a new animal. “I screamed when the snakes were shown to us. Especially when Mrs. Wong was given all the snakes to hold!” commented one Hillsboro student. Kohlrieser introduced each new animal with a fun fact or a joke, leaving the audience hanging on his every word and jumping out of their seats to be called for a demonstration. Area children were given the chance to have a close

encounter with rare rainforest animals such as alligators, lemurs, monkeys, and plenty of snakes. Parents loved how great the show was, not only for them, but also for their kids. “It was great to see the kids be able to see the animals up close and be able to take pictures with some of them. It would be fantastic to see this in the area again!” commented a parent. The show itself began in the 80s after Kohlrieser and his wife got involved with groups like the World Wild Life Foundation. As the couple learned more about the problems those animals were facing in the rain forest across the world, they felt they needed to make a difference. At each show, Kohlrieser said he generally brings out the same cast of animals. In the earlier shows for students, many laughed at the capuchin monkey, jumping around and clinging to Kohlrieser. The trainer said some animals do get rotated between shows in order to give the individual creatures their needed rest. One of the of the main reasons Kohlrieser gets the children’s attention, is having the exotic animals do funny things or fly around the room. He also tells the students reasons why
conservation and recycling are important for helping to save the endangered rainforest animals. “We keep the kids’ attention and while they have this emotional connection to what is on stage, they realize what could be lost if they don’t take care of things. As a society, we often tell kids to recycle, but we don’t always show them why. Until they see exactly what it is we stand to lose, they don’t know that it’s important to take care of things,” said Kohlrieser. The show travels across the nation in a big exactly cooled trailer for the animals comfort level and will eventually return to Ohio and prep for upcoming summer shows. Kohlrieser went on to say that he enjoys meeting everyone concerned about the safety and learning more ways of helping the species. “What I love most is to educate others about how to conserve and recycle for a healthier environment.” All proceeds from the shows are used for the animals and to help save the rainforest. Kids were also given the chance to have their photo taken with a big snake, while a few were chosen to demonstrate on stage and help feed some of the animals.
Hillsboro Elementary third grade teacher Mrs. Wong reacts while handed a grouping of snakes.
Students were entertained by this Capuchin Monkey with fun tricks leading to a reward of a sunflower seed. The Capuchin Monkey is an endangered species due to the human activity of cutting down trees, which is a major threat to these animals.

Jonathon Munson has 22q13 Deletion Syndrome, also known as Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, which refers to the deletion of a specific gene that has immense consequences. The syndrome causes developmental delays, low muscle tone and motor function, problems eating, language disability, and other problems. Currently, there are only about 1,000 confirmed cases in the world with this rare syndrome. Jonathon’s mother, Tina Munson, said that he wasn’t starting to establish those milestones most babies show within the first two years after birth. “We thought he was deaf at first,” said Tina, “Our older kids had shown milestones that Jonathon was unable to establish.” Tina and her husband Kevin traveled to the doctors to have tests done on Jonathon. The doctors immediately knew he wasn’t deaf, but had some type of syndrome. After two days of tests, it was a “mourning process” as Tina put it, knowing that their fifth child would have to live with something different than the rest of his siblings. The doctors had given the family a wrong diagnosis at first. After a video recorded by Jonathon’s parents showing his behavior was sent to a doctor, more tests were ordered. One of those tests included a Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) test on Jonathon, which used fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with which they show a high degree of sequence complementarity. FISH is often used for finding specific features in DNA for use in genetic counseling, medicine, and species identification. With the FISH test, doctors discovered that a chromosome was missing from Jonathon’s DNA, resulting in the 22q13. Jonathon was officially diagnosed with the syndrome when he was three years old. Now 14 years old, Jonathon shows nearly all the common symptoms of this gene deletion, which makes him completely independent on his parents and caretakers. “He barely speaks, cutting out the little words from sentences. He has cognitive impairment,” Jonathon’s mother said. Further, she said Jonathon has a “high pain tolerance, low immune system, accelerated growth, and he can’t regulate body temperature.” Tina shared a touching story on helping Jonathon speak the word “Mom,” a word any parent wants their child to say. “We were told he would not be able to talk. At two years old, he was able to say ‘Ma’ with the help of mom moving his mouth into the shape of ‘Mom.’” Jonathon was tested for autism and is in the autism-spectrum because of the gene deletion. Additionally, he has a strong social anxiety so, many times, he does not want to be around large groups of people, rather he identifies familiar faces that he sees on a daily basis. Jonathon operates on a daily routine, which was set in his earlier years to be crucial for him to learn through repetition. Having six other siblings, Tina feels “since there has been more siblings, it has helped” in establishing a needed routine. By having strong sensory issues, he tends to eat by touch-
ing the items with his fingers, but will use utensils with reminders. He does a little bit of bathing himself when it’s time for a shower, but still needs help getting dressed. He does attend school in Mauston in the CDS Room, working with pictures into recognizing how to communicate with others sensory devices and attends art class and physical education. Jonathon has additionally had Epileptic Seizures, which have not happened for over two years now, and Jonathon has been taken off of his seizure medicine, which is a great sign. Jonathon’s father Kevin said that with much of the medicine his son has been on, it’s like a “risk and reward” type of option. So far, medicines have helped, but the future will not get easier. As Jonathon progressively becomes older, his parents fear for the future. “What’s the next step for Jonathon,” said Tina. “We don’t know what will happen in the future.” Their option with finding out needed information when Jonathon ages, is to attend a conference in Orlando, Florida. The Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Foundation puts on an International Family Conference every other year. The Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Foundation is currently involved in ground-breaking research. Scientists have linked P-MS to Autism, and are working specifically with P-MS families to find a treatment for the syndrome. There will be scientists, geneticists, doctors and therapists, as well as many other families faced with this syndrome present. Being there gives not only Jonathon, but his entire family a lifeline to the research and possible treatment to live a healthier life and to meet other people with this syndrome. The Munson family has traveled to four other conferences in past years, but this one is a little bit more special. “We’re looking towards the future,” said Kevin. “If we do not attend this conference, our lifelines into finding a cure will be lost and we probably won’t be able to attend future conferences with high costs.” At the conference, families are able to attend seminars with a wide range of topics and will be able to talk with Dr. Katy Phelan and Heather McDermid, who formed the PhelanMcDermid Syndrome Foundation. The Munson family joined the Phelan-McDermid Support Group online and became connected to hundreds of others that are much like Jonathon and heard about the conferences. The conference can be categorized into “life-changing.” “When we started, we were educating the doctors about nothing. There was never any past research completed” commented Kevin. Further, he continued with, “This not only affects Jonathon but the whole family. We’re looking to get the answers we need to more towards the future.” In the past, the insurance company has covered the conference and travel fees. Recently, changes have occurred and the conference fee is the only thing paid for by insurance. The family is seeking the community’s help with travel expenses, which will cost roughly $9,000. The family is holding a fundraising event on Saturday, May 3, which will include a 5K Run/Walk, Silent Auction, and Spaghetti Feed. The 5K Run/Walk will begin at 3 p.m. and will be held at the Hillsboro High School track. Each registration is $20, which includes registration fee and t-shirt. Registration
Hillsboro teen, Jonathon Munson, was diagnosed with the Phelan-McDermid Syndrome 22q13 at the young age of three years old. The family will be attending a conference in July with important information on how to transition into the older years in life with this syndrome. Jonathon is 14 years old and is the son of Kevin and Tina. forms can be found at the Hillsboro High School office, along with Hillsboro local businesses. You can mail the registration form to Tina Munson, S3676 Beaver Creek Rd, Hillsboro, WI 54634 or call 608-489-4244. Forms must be in by Friday, April 24 for t-shirts to be ordered. A Silent Auction and Spaghetti Feed will follow at the Hillsboro High School at 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. Donations are still being sought, with plenty of great items from local businesses and lots of gift certificates. If you are unable to attend, a site has been created for online donations at www.gofundme.com. The conference is held on July 24th through the 27th with the entire family attending and traveling to Orlando. This year’s theme is “Embracing Today, Empowering Tomorrow.” The theme fits so well with the Munsons as they look toward the future.
Hillsboro forgoes referendum for November ballot BY TASHA MUELLER
The Hillsboro School District, along with many in the State of Wisconsin, will be forgoing referendum and asking for voters’ support and approval this November for additional school revenue. During the regular Hillsboro School Board meeting Monday evening, a topic that schools have been talking about is going into a referendum. Hillsboro has made no exception; with board members in favor of placing the topic on the November ballots. In his Superintendent report, Curt Bisarek noted the topics into why Hillsboro is forgoing into a referendum. “We would be doing the district a dis-service to request funds and think that we can continue to operate business as usual. Over the last few months we have been taking steps to address the needs of the district through a variety of projects and initiatives. The first was addressing some of the needs of
our facilities: roofing, boilers, windows and doors, and other necessary maintenance projects to maintain what we have, to be good stewards of the funds provided by the taxpayers.” Bisarek continued on to state, “Next we need to study and address the needs of our students and staff. Schools are no longer the same places like when we went to school. The expectations to learn more in less time, the integration of technology, and the growing diversity of learners (advanced placement and at risk learners); are all creating stresses in many areas of the districts and it is time we address those challenges – before we ask the voters to support the district financially. They should expect us to improve the opportunities to their kids, grandchildren, neighbors and so on.” A few of the issues the district sees as evolving the way we need to be teaching and addressing the needs of the Hillsboro students: • A number of text book manufacturers have announced
that they will no longer be supporting “Books”. New curriculum will be available digitally and will be supported over the web. • If that is the case, how will we move to one computer for each student to deliver curriculum? There are already a number of districts our size that are text book free. • If we move in this direction, what is the role of the Library and the computer labs? What tools will staff need different than they have today? • What support and staff development will our staff need to make these changes beneficial to our students? • And, how will technology change the classroom? Throughout the upcoming months, board members will be discussing the specifics and numbers, with making a final decision by the end of August this year. See REFERENDUM, page 13

REFERENDUM, continued from page 12 With technology advancing in the classroom and continuing on making progress with the new ideas stemming away from using textbooks, the board voted in favor of creating a Technology Integration Specialist Position. Bisarek went on to state “This position would be able to help teachers integrate technology in the classroom. It would help staff transition their courses into technology based classes.” Additionally, this position would help focus on each staff member’s focus for their classroom. Keeping with the technology theme, the board was in unanimous decision towards a Technology cooperative Purchasing Agreement. The agreement would allow teachers to purchase a handheld tablet, which can be used for classroom use and personal. It would begin in the 2014-15 school year with teachers paying for half of the price and the district paying the other half. After a year, the tablet would be theirs. From the rest of the meeting, elected board members from the April 1, 2014 School Board Election took their Oath of Office. Included was Brian Hora and Mike Jirschele. Both will be serving two-year terms. The board expressed their thanks and service on the board to Denise Huntley. Springtime is also the time of year for resignations and retirements. The
board received and approved the resignations of: third grade teacher Ann Wong (28 years), Business Education teacher, FBLA Advisor and Yearbook Advisor Jamie Schmitz (six years), high school girls basketball coach Ron Benish, and the retirement of Sandy Halverson (over 20 years). Sue Feala was hired as a part-time elementary special education paraprofessional for the final stretch of the school year. The board received a donation from the Hynek Family to be put towards the purchase of a new digital school sign. An impaired driver destroyed the sign a few months ago. A company from Boscobel will be used to purchase the new sign that will feature school events, updates, and animations. The board finalized the 2013-14 school calendar with the final day of school on June 4 for students. The 2014-15 school calendar was looked through with the first day of school on September 2, 2014 and the final day on June 3, 2015. Courtney Fanta has qualified to compete at the state level of the National Geography Bee in Madison in April. In the Middle School Presentation Contest, Courtney Fanta placed first, Grace Stockwell placed second, and Devon Verbsky placed third.

Michael McMeel speaks at Midwest Horse Fair on Inner City Slickers Program
BY DIANNA ANDERSON Michael McMeel is the founder of the “Inner City Slickers” program for at risk youth, it is a National Organization with 15 branches across the United States and one of them happens to be in LaValle, Wisconsin. McMeel spoke at the Midwest Horse Fair about the changes in the lives of young people after spending a weekend at one of his 15 different locations. This is a trust building program for at risk youth, to help them grow and learn that they are no different than the next person dealing with all the same things they are going through. Everyone is on the same level when they arrive and they learn together as a team. The program is designed to build trust and partnership with the horses and then trust forms between the children as they work to develop the relationship with the animals. The campfires in the evenings are designed for each person to give up a little bit of information about themselves, this is so each can see how they are very much alike and can relate to one another. This brings all types of children together that would not normally even meet in their everyday social groups, and each of them must learn not to judge from outward apparence. Inner City Slickers (ICS) was started with the idea to form a foundation for children that may not have any connection, direction, or confidence in there own value in this world. It is a chance for children to see they are not alone and we are all afraid, no matter race, sex, or age, we are all alike. McMeel teaches kids “Healing with horses.” This is a new world for most inner city children, stepping in horse poo or just getting next to this giant animal that they have not had a chance to be around before. Children from all walks of life working together for a common goal, a weekend of learning to trust, to care and to find worth in themselves. McMeel founded the organization in 1992 and has been
going forward from that point on. As a youth, he too had problems with self esteem and his value in this life, music was his way of coping with his fears. McMeel landed a drumming career with the rock group “Three Dog Night” and was the drummer from 1974 to 1977, he toured the world with the group for three years before moving on to acting in some movies. McMeel has worked with children as a member of a children’s program called “Kaptain Kool and the Kongs” on the Kroft Super Show, it was a Saturday morning program for children in the early 1980’s and they used music as a catalyst to engage children. In the early 1990’s living in Los Angeles and seeing the racial riots taking place, he noticed a whole generation being lost, children with low self esteem, no where to go and no connections with the rest of the world. McMeel realized the time he spent working with kids on the Kroft Super Show were some of the best times in his life and he needed to reach out in some way to help those children that now had no direction but the streets for a life. McMeel happened to see the movie “City Slickers” with Billy Crystal and thought what a great idea. With some connections in L.A. he began the “Inner City Slickers” and being a city kid himself, he had to learn all the new things about being around horses, feeding, cleaning, grooming, riding, and the trust it takes in the horses and himself. This was an eye opener for the young man and he began to see how the connection with animals and others working for a common goal could change lives quickly. As the program grew from L.A. to other parts across the country McMeel found himself in New Tazwell, Tennessee running a working horse ranch and working with at risk youth, visiting detention centers with the horses. McMeel believes he must get involed and everyone has a duty to volunteer and help in some capacity as it is up to us what the future of our world will be.
Joe Holder, Barb Knopf, and Michael McMeel at September Farms before heading to Madison for the Midwest horse fair. The Inner City Slickers program in LaValle is run by Barb Knopf and Joe Holder at September Farms. Knopf and Holder also run the Veterans Equine Trail Service program (V.E.T.S.) and they are also working with special needs children. The program is all pulled together by veterans, service members, and the ever popular Morgan horses. Knopf was awarded the Wisconsin Hero’s Award in March by First Lady Tonette Walker and has been nominated to go to Washington D.C. for the Jefferson Award where she will compete with other nominees for the National title in May.
Cover to Cover: Wonewoc Public Library Wonewoc Public Library Welcomes Spring with Herb Workshop and Seed Lending Library Kickoff
BY KIM DEARTH
Once again, the Wonewoc Public Library will be sharing a seed lending library with the public. Beginning April 29, stop by the library and grab some seed packets to help enhance your own garden. These seeds are free to the public—all we ask is that you save some seeds to return to us in the fall to help keep the program going. A variety of flower seeds and some vegetable seeds will be available. You don’t need to return the same type of seeds as you took—any seeds will do. Join us as we all work to beautify Wonewoc! To help kick off this year’s seed lending library, we’ll be holding an Herb Workshop at 1 p.m. on April 29, presented by Kathy Metzenbauer of the UW Extension. Kathy’s presentation will share the basics of growing herbs in gardens and containers, as well as how to use the end product in cooking, potpourri and arts and crafts. Please stop by the circulation desk at the library or call (608) 464-7625 to reserve your spot! This week is National Library Week, and once again Culver’s is teaming up with local libraries to encourage children to read. Stop

In addition, a winner will be picked from each age bracket (4-7 and 8-11) to win a free Culver’s Kids’ Meal. The contest will remain open the month of April. Just a reminder: Tickets are still available for the Bob Schulz dinner and performance on May 10 at Club Chapparal. Tickets can be purchased from the library through May 1. Can (608) 464-7625 for more information. Finally, the staff of the Wonewoc Public Library and the Friends of the Wonewoc Library would like to thank each and every participant who attended our first annual Tiara Ball.

The girls enjoyed a night of dancing and activities with their dads, uncles, grandpas and family friends in the beautifully decorated gym, and were joined by the girls from the Junior Prom Court who took part in their own prom the night before. With such a great start, this is sure to grow to become a beloved Wonewoc tradition! See you at the library!

Grandpa Stories: A Cemetery Story As Jerry reached the man, he heard him shout “Here’s to you buddy!”, then he started urinating on the grave. Jerry yelled, “Hey, what’s going on here?”. The guy replied, “I’m paying tribute to my buddy Mike”. Jerry said, “I’ve never seen anyone pay tribute by urinating on their grave. You better have a real good explanation”. They guy replied, “I do. You see, this is the grave of my best buddy Mike. Mike was killed in a motorcycle accident last year. He was my beer-drinking buddy. He and I used to drink a lot of beer together, always MGD. We made a pact with each other. We agreed that when the first one of us died, the other one would pour a case of MGD on his grave. It was our way of paying tribute”. “Well yesterday I realized that I had not yet carried out the terms of our pact. So last night I bought a case of ice-cold MGD and brought it here to the cemetery. When I opened that first can of beer, boy it really smelled good. I decided to have a heart-toheart talk with Mike”.
My brother-in-law, Jerry, was sexton (caretaker) of St. Mary’s Cemetery at Lyndon Station for many years. Here is one of the cemetery stories he passed along to me. One morning as Jerry was just arriving at the cemetery to start work, he noticed that there was already a man standing by one of the graves. Jerry knew that it was very unusual for visitors to come so early, and something did not seem quite right about the situation. So Jerry decided to check things out and drove toward the fellow. As Jerry approached, it seemed that the man was not too steady on his feet, maybe staggering a little. The guy also appeared as if he were talking to someone, although no one else was present. As Jerry got closer, he noticed that the ground around the guy was littered with empty beer cans. There were a lot of empty beer cans, maybe 24 of them. All of them were the same brand; MGD (Miller Genuine Draft).

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) – a chance for area businesses, organizations, and community members to partner with Hope House to raise awareness and prevent sexual assault. Hope House is once again encouraging people to participate in Denim Day on Wednesday, April 23. Denim Day was created in protest of a 1990’s Italian rape case. An 18-year-old woman was raped by her 45-year-old driving instructor. He threatened to kill her if she told anyone. The strong young woman told her parents anyway, and the man was arrested and sentenced to jail. However, he appealed his case, and the judge overturned the sentence. The judge stated that the young woman had to assist the perpetrator in taking off her jeans because they were so tight, and thus she was giving her consent. Women within the Italian Parliament were furious and decided to wear jeans to work in protest of the overturned sentence. The tradition of Denim Day began. Last year Hope House asked employees to donate to Hope House in exchange for wearing jeans on Denim Day, and participants raised over $2,700 for our services! Please join us on Wednesday, April 23 in wearing jeans to support the women and men here

Memorial Day is yet another day to celebrate our freedom and to remember the brave American soldiers who sacrificed their lives to keep the USA their homeland and its citizens free. Wear a poppy with pride and remembrance. The American Legion Auxiliary Poppy is a symbol of the sacrifice men and women have made in the line of duty throughout the numerous conflicts and wars. The poppy represents the hope of every real American that none of our soldiers have died in vain – that we remember and treasure the liberty and freedom that they fought and gave “their last full measure” to preserve. Each nine-piece poppy is made by veterans for veterans in Auxiliary sponsored Poppy Shops that supplement physical and psychological therapy needed by hospitalized and disabled veterans. The veteran makes the poppy and is paid a small amount for each painstakingly-made flower. For some it is his or her only income. The poppy
is never sold, but given in exchange for contributions The Poppy program has been part of Auxiliary programming for more than 70 years. It has been estimated that approximately 25 million Americans wear the poppy to honor America’s war dead and veterans, contributing over $2 million for rehabilitation and welfare programs. American Legion Auxiliary volunteers of Unit #277 of Necedah will be distributing the familiar red, handcrafted poppies honoring America’s war dead beginning in May. The ladies will hold their third annual rummage and brat sale on May 1st and 2nd .at the Necedah Veterans Hall. In the past we have supported the following programs, Veteran’s Assistance Program, Homeless Veterans, Camp American Legion, Freedom Honor Flight, and the Tomah V.A.

Taking Refuge BY STEVE NORLING I now know for sure that spring is here. Was out to the refuge hiking a couple of the trails with my wife and little dog this past Sunday and the little dog came home with a wood tick. That to me is a sure sign of spring. Other than that it was a great day to be out and about on the refuge. Between those hikes Sunday and going out and filling the brochure boxes on Wednesday I have seen a great abundance of wildlife. On Sunday there must have been over two to three hundred tundra swans visible from the tower. This along with many ducks, geese, coots and shorebirds. We were also able to observe the eagle along Headquarters Road. While all we could see was the head of the eagle sitting on the nest, at least we know it is still there and that we should have young eaglets before too long. On Wednesday I observed quite a number of species. There were the three immature eagles, the red tail hawk, the harrier, wood ducks, mallards, whooping cranes, sandhill cranes, swans, geese, one turkey and one deer. That is a list that does not include the songbirds that were too numerous to mention. So now is the time to get out and take a hike or just drive around the refuge. Everything that I saw Wednesday was from a vehicle, so you do not have to even hike the trails. However, hiking the trails gets you much closer to nature and gives you a feeling of being part of the nature and of the environment. Putting out the brochures takes me to almost every part of the refuge and means that I drive most of the roads. Most of them are still in excellent condition but a couple at the north end of the refuge are soft and rutted up. Necedah Township is currently working to improve their roads through the refuge. They are bring up the gravel at the edges of the roads and then grading them back to their original shape. As of Wednesday the fire danger was extreme. If it rains between then and when you read this there will be a change in that. However, if we do not get any rain the danger will only get worse. This is something we always have to think about when visiting any wooded area. One of the things that caused the dryness was the fact that the snow evaporated rather than melting. That happens when the temperature is just above freezing and there is sun and wind. The sun melts the very top and the wind evaporates it. This is great to eliminate flooding but does not put enough moisture in the ground. The fire crew had intended to burn this week but had to put it off until the weather changes and the fire danger is not as high. The first of the flowers should be blooming by the time you read this. Things like Dutchman’s breeches, Pasque flowers, Prairie smoke and Marsh marigolds should all be blooming at this time. Another thing that is happening is that the frogs are very vocal and there will be more different kinds joining the chorus. There are other things to celebrate in April, such as John Muir’s birthday on the 21st, Earth Day on the 22nd and John Audubon’s birthday on the 26th. April is a great month for nature lovers and the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge is a great place to enjoy it. Something you may want to consider is to stop at the Karner Korner and purchase a field guide or two. I know that when I am out and about and see a flower or a bird or an animal that I do not recognize, I always refer to one of my many field guides. If I have my camera with me (I always do) I try to take a picture and when I get home I can look up what I saw. I am not a great birder so that field guide usually is with me. You can find field guides for just about anything you can imagine at the Karner Korner. There are several choices for some of them, whether you want a guide for the country or only the state. Having a field guide along can really enhance your time at the refuge so stop at the visitor center and visit Karner Korner. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”

Walleye on the Mississippi BY MARK WALTERS Hello friends, Hubbard’s Fishing Float is located on the Mississippi River, just south of Lynxville, Wisconsin, and is one of the most reliable places that I know of to catch fish and can only be reached by boat. I have been fishing, and staying over night, on my good buddy - Bill Hubbard’s float with my old pal from Prairie du Chien, Gary Howe, since about 1998. This week Gary and I returned and, as usual, had a whole bunch of fun. Wednesday, April 9th High 68, low 37 Here is the scoop if you want to learn about and possibly check out Bill’s float. Gary and I had our own boat to travel to our fishing hot spot, but if you want, all you have to do is park your car at the public boat landing just below lock and dam number 9, raise the flag, and Bill Hubbard will come by boat and pick you up. I love this place and today after saying hi to Bill (608-7321084) and moving into our sleeping quarters, we hit the river and tried fishing out of Gary’s boat by vertical jigging for walleye. Intense winds made that difficult and so we did what we should have in the first place and hit the float for a late afternoon and long night of fishing and laughter. The first thing that we saw was that as always, some of the hottest “sticks” on the river were here for the night and they were catching walleye and sauger. There were many fishermen and women that took some nice catches of walleye home when Bill Hubbard made the last run of the day back to shore. I learned long ago to enjoy the river, the people, and hope that I catch a walleye or two when I am out here. I will never be competition for the likes of Bill Hubbard, Steve Davidson, Jason Gallup or Eric Carmen when it comes to jigging for walleye. Today, for the first time in years, Gary and I saw Jason Gallup and Eric Carmen and it was quite the honor. These fellas are from the Charles City, Iowa area and are the best sticks I have ever seen. We met them back in the late 90’s when they were in high school and when they heard we were going to be here they took time off from work to catch walleye and hang out with us. Now they are in there mid 30’s, taking kids turkey hunting this weekend and a blast to hang out with From 4-8 this afternoon and evening, I saw the four men I mentioned above and a few others absolutely put on a fishing exhibition while jigging for walleye and not a one of them uses minnows. What everyone finds really cool about the experience out here is people are really polite and conversations are nonstop and often seem to be about hunting and fishing. As most of the old timers have learned, Gary Howe and I are kind of the class clowns and we create a lot of laughter. I was not exactly ready to start my own “how to catch walleye school”. Steve Davidson, who is from the Richland Center area, and helps Bill out, gave me some really excellent tips and just like that, I landed a beautiful four-pound walleye. The current can be intense here and you have to understand weight and color of what you are throwing, combined with the light bite of a sauger, and the solid thump of a 6-pound walleye that as of today were still full of spawn. Tonight it was all old friends on the float and Bill Hubbard, who runs one heck of a restaurant on our home away from home, created an excellent supper for all of us. We told a ton of really funny stories from years past, and Gary and I realized just how fast time flies. The following morning the flag was up at 7:00 and Bill
Hubbard was a very busy man. He will be until November cooking, hauling fishermen, doing maintenance and fishing himself. Gary and I fished besides six Amish fishermen, who were very polite as well as interesting and knew how to catch fish. One of them caught a 10.3 pounder and another caught a 7.8 and they both released them so that they could let go of their spawn and keep the future of this awesome fishery alive. All of my old buddies on this trip are addicted to the float and will chase walleye, then bass, stripers and bluegills followed by flathead catfish and on and on until next fall when the walleye and sauger action leads to ice and winter. For 18 bucks for a day trip or a bit more for an overnight stay, how can this not be money well spent? Still love my job! Sunset
