Two long time employees set to retire from Juneau County BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD At the Tuesday morning Juneau County Board of Supervisors meeting, Gayle Wilcox and Diane Dahl were
both recognized for their decades of service in their employment. Both women had submitted their retirements which supervisors approved at the meeting. Wilcox was first employed by the County in September of 1987 when she was hired as a full time Outpatient Clinician with the Department of Human Services. In the resolution accepted by county supervisors they honored her for her dedication and her ability in building relationships: "Gayle has numerous years of experience that will never be replaced. She has built several positive working relationships and will be missed for her loyalty, dedication, kindness, knowledge, and sense of humor.” Dahl began her employment with the County in
November of 1992 when she was hired as a clerk typist in the Clerk of Courts office. In 1995 she transferred to the audit department where she was a data entry clerk. In May of 1999 she moved over to the Juneau County Sheriff's Department as Office Manager, a position she has remained at and will leave when her retirement becomes effective on July 13, 2014. Supervisors recognized Dahl for her dedication, integrity and commitment to service. Both women were present at the meeting and accepted a plaque from County Board Chairman Alan Peterson. Also present for the meeting were many co-workers wishing both congratulations on their retirement.

Flag Dedication Ceremony at Lyndon Station Cemetery The Veterans and Friends Cemetery Flag Project is set to have another flag dedication. The group’s goal is to have a lighted flag pole in every cemetery where a veteran is laid to rest. It has been very successful so far as the group has completed raising lighted flagpoles in 12 cemeteries in Juneau and Adams counties, with the newest addition being in the Lyndon Station Cemetery. The group’s co-founder Russell LaMarche says that they have placed donation buckets in several taverns in Juneau and Adams counties to collect contributions to help with the costs of putting up a lighted flag pole, which can cost about $500. The public is welcomed to the Lyndon Station Cemetery Flag Dedication Ceremony this Saturday at noon. The group also has another event in June: A flag retirement ceremony. That will be held on Saturday, June 28, at dusk, about 9:00 p.m. and will be held at the Castle Rock Resort and Campground. LaMarche said that anyone with U.S. flags that are no longer serviceable may drop off them off at that location for retirement. Once again the public is welcomed to attend. For more information on the ceremonies or on how to donate, call LaMarche at 608-584-4497.

Elroy EMS and Fire Department demonstrate mock accident for training BY TASHA MUELLER Often times, we learn from bad mistakes. But, some bad decisions have no second chances. On Saturday, May 17th, the Elroy Area Ambulance kicked off National EMS Week with their annual pancake breakfast. For the first time, a mock vehicle accident demonstration occurred for viewers of all ages at the Schultz Park in Elroy. Two mangled cars, one filled with a victim, set the stage for the accident. The crowd watched as firefighters used the Jaws of Life to pry open a crushed SUV door and pull out the injured driver. The mock accident demonstrated how the Elroy EMS and Elroy Fire Department work together to save lives, showing the public just how both vital teams work as one in a timely matter. Additionally, the demonstration gave the volunteers more training in small communities around the area which are prone to vehicle
accidents. This year’s National EMS Week 2014 theme, which goes until May 24, is “EMS: Dedicated. For Life.” The National Emergency Medical Services Week brings together local communities and medical personnel to publicize safety and honor the dedication of those who provide the dayto-day lifesaving services of medicine’s “front line.” Unfortunately, the Spirit of Marshfield helicopter was unavailable at the time due to being on other calls. Tours of the ambulance were also given, as pieces of the needed equipment were demonstrated to anyone interested in learning about the ambulance. The Elroy Area Ambulance is in the process of changing from an all-volunteer service to a part-time, paid staffing model that would allow for 24-hour 911 emergency coverage, along with interfaculty transfer services. In January 2014, the service made a major change –
Both the Elroy EMS and Elroy Fire Department work together to save lives in a timely manner, as crew members get the injured driver in the mock accident out safely and on the way to the ambulance. providing around-the-clock coverage. A larger part-time staff is now comprised of 36
individuals from within and outside the local area. The Elroy Area Ambulance is committed to
providing the best care possible to the residents of the community and surrounding area and appreciates all of
the support to move forward with this endeavor.

Spring Street project begins BY TASHA MUELLER The weather finally shaped up for the Kendall Spring Street project to begin and it will be on the right track to being finished by the end of this summer. During the regular Kendall Village Board meeting on Monday, May 12th, board members approved of two resolutions regarding the project. The first was approving the resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of up to $261,352 sewerage system revenue bonds, series 2014, and providing for other details and covenants with respect thereto. The second, approved the resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of up to $214,395 water system revenue bonds, series 2014, and providing for other details and covenants with respect thereto, and approval of related $535,989 financial assistance agreement. These resolutions regard the transactions into exactly where the loan money will be put into separate accounts. Gerke representatives have moved into the area, with full crews starting the project this past week. There has been a change in the street work agenda, beginning at the end of Spring Street, moving onto Thayer Street, and then George Street.
The Panthers split with Cashton at Cashton on Tuesday, May 13th as Adam Vieth took the loss in a 3 to 0 decision. Vieth gave up eight hits and three walks.

Program visits New Lisbon students to educate on dangers of texting and driving BY DIANNA ANDERSON Katie Mueller from the Department of Transportation and Jim Jermain with AT&T have been traveling across the State to promote "It can wait", a program to get students to understand how dangerous it is to drive and text. New Lisbon students were enlightened on how easy it is to be involved in a major accident while driving and texting. Jermain presented a short film of family members of victims involved in deadly crashes because they decided to read a short text, just long enough to end their life. Assemblyman Ed Brooks was also present to address students about the language of the law in the State that says, using a cell phone while driving is against the law in Wisconsin for any driver with a probationary license or instruction permit, except to report an emergency. The law applies to all drivers with a probationary license or instruction permit, not just those under the age of 18. The law applies to handheld and hands-free operation of a cell phone. Cell phone use, whether or not it is hands-free, increases crash risk. Cell phone law can be primary enforcement (the only reason for the stop)
but often will be secondary, when the driver is stopped for another violation. Assemblyman Brooks was an author of the laws against texting and driving. The hopes are to decrease deaths by 500 annually. Sergeant Luke Yahn was present to let young drivers know they can be pulled over for texting while driving and it could save their life as well as the life of others. "A $200 ticket is a small price to pay considering what the alternative cost can be," stated Sergeant Yahn. Mueller, with the Department of Transportation, came equipped with a simulator to help students get an idea of what really happens when you text and drive. John Costello and Alanna McCullough were the two students chosen to drive the simulator in front of all of the sixth through 12th grade students. Costello was given an opportunity to get used to the simulator before Mueller asked Costello to take his phone out and begin to text. The trouble started right away, eyes off the road, swerving, and then comes the correction, eyes back on the road for a moment, looking at your phone again, delayed reaction, swerving, and look up at the road, correction and looking down at

This shows young people how easy this can happen. The Wisconsin State Patrol, D.O.T., State Legislators and your parents would like you to take the pledge of text free driving at www.itcanwait.com.
Remember, it is an average of five to six seconds that your eyes are off the road for each text, enough time to miss an entire semi in front of you.
Alanna McCullough also had difficulty driving and texting and ended up hitting a police car head on in the simulator.

New Lisbon Annual Bike Rodeo bigger than ever before BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD On Saturday the New Lisbon Police Department held their annual Bike Rodeo at Rudig Jensen in New Lisbon. Seventy-five children registered for the event to learn very important bike safety skills and a chance to win one of the 21 new bikes waiting to ride away. Tables were lined with other donated prizes for the children to have a chance at winning. According to New Lisbon Police and D.A.R.E. Officer Kevin Weinshrott, the event has grown to include a focus on safety for children in other areas in addition to bicycling. "We're proud to see the community support this event. We had more vendors this year than ever before," he said. One new station at the
event placed a focused on car seat safety. Jennifer Froh from Juneau County Health Department informed parents about the departments Child Passenger Safety Program. Through the program, free car seat inspections are available by appointment and free car seats are also available to WIC eligible families. Car seats need to be selected based on a child's age and size. Always refer to you car seat manufacturer's instructions and read your vehicle owner's manual on how to properly install the seat. While many of the booths were packed with information on keeping children safe, participants of the bike rodeo donated non perishable food to the New Lisbon Food Pantry to ensure area families in need were provided with healthy meals.

Village of Necedah becomes a “Tree City USA” BY STEVE NORLING On Thursday, May 8th Arbor Day was celebrated in Necedah by being named a “Tree City USA”. Regional forestry Coordinator, Don Kissinger from the Wausau office of the DNR came to the Necedah School to present the award. Mr. Kissinger spoke to the after school group of youngsters and explained to them what it meant to be named a Tree City USA. He asked forestry questions of the youngsters and was pleasantly surprised by the knowledge some of them had. He also explained that Arbor Day had begun in Nebraska in 1872 and that different states celebrate it at different times. Wisconsin picked May because that is the best time for planting trees here. Kissinger explained what it took to become a Tree City USA. There are four requirements; first, the village
needs a tree board and Necedah’s Parks and Recreation Committee handles that. Next the village needs a tree ordinance, which it has. Third, the village needs to spend $2 per capita on trees. This can be in purchasing trees, planting, pruning, or removing trees or several other things having to do with forestry. Last, but not least, the village needs to have an Arbor Day celebration, which it does. This award was actually given for what Necedah did in 2013. Some of the things that took place were the planting of 22 trees, the pruning of 62 trees and the removal of 11 dead or diseased trees. They met all of the requirements to become a “Tree City USA”. There are 92 Tree City USA communities in the State of Wisconsin, second in the nation only to Ohio. The village was presented with a plaque, a flag, and two large signs to go along

Donations presented to school board BY STEVE NORLING The May meeting of the Necedah School Board was held on May 19th. In the opening remarks for Citizen’s Forum, citizen Seth Tully made the statement that he received the 2014/15 calendar and was not pleased with it. When questioned as to the
reason he declined to state why as he stated that people misinterpreted his reasoning. The next items on the agenda were the donations and grants received. A representative from Parker Hannifin was on hand to present a $2,000 check to the school for part of the cost of the CNC machine, which the school purchased.
Mr. Gierach receiving check from Parker Hannifin.
Mrs. Maxville was on hand to present a check for $5,600, which she received as a grant for 45 books, 30 calculators, and software for a new financial literacy class, which will be beginning with the 2014/15 school year. It was also reported that there was a $300 donation to the class of 2014 by Tom and Deana Winters. After the board’s reorganization due to the recent election, Mrs. Lowery was on hand to report on the After School Program. She noted that this was the seventh year of the program and that they had 114 days of after school activities. This year 94 students enrolled and 73 were considered regular, with an average daily attendance of 60. There were 16 pals, these are high school students that help out, six teachers, one teacher’s aid, and one Americorps worker. That gave about a three to one ratio. Mrs. Lowery noted that they had three financial fitness classes for families and that they learned about aviation by
going to the Necedah Airport and that they had Reading with Rover dates at the Necedah Library. A couple of their partners are UW Extension and Necedah Aviation. The funding for the program comes from a grant from the 21st Century Learning Center and a grant from the Endeavor Foundation. Mrs. Lowery informed the board that they were considering putting the money into the UW Foundation to draw interest while it was not being used and taking withdrawals as needed. She got the board’s approval to go ahead and talk to the Endeavor Foundation to see if they would object to this. Formal approval was given for the 2014/15 calendar and also for new lunch prices. The price of lunch will rise by ten cents to $2.20 for grades 4K-5 and $2.50 for grades 6-12. These prices are dictated by the USDA. Mr. Don Jackson resigned as the director of the musical
play that is put on every year and Mr. Wilcox was hired to replace him in that area. Four staff members are retiring after this year. They are; Mrs. Mary Schmelze after 37 years, Mr. Michael Schroeder after 21 years, Ms. Loretta Krupa after 16 years, and Mr. Oscar Miller after 12 years.
Tripp Horbinski took first place in the State Jobs contest and will be competing at the national level. The meeting for June has been moved from the third Monday to the fourth Monday due to conflicting schedules. The meeting will be held on Monday, June 23rd.

Necedah National Honors Banquet BY STEVE NORLING Wednesday, May 14th the Necedah School Board hosted the Honors Banquet for 2014. The event was held in the New Lisbon American Legion Hall. After an excellent meal, attendees were introduced to the new inductees to the National Society. This is a great honor for those students who were inducted. First there was the National Honor Society induction ceremony. This consisted of a welcome, an introduction, the requirements of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Next the candles were lit denoting the rites of the society. Next the pledge was recited by the inductees and then the inductees were introduced. This year’s inductees were; Senior Taylor Krupa, Juniors Matthew Brown, Ashton Knutson, Deneille Lessard, Jordan Murphy, and Taylor Stout and sophomores Kristin Darnell and Stephanie Rattunde. Next on the agenda the crowd was introduced to all of the students that were on the “A” or “B” honor rolls. There were 44 seniors, 30 juniors, 34 sophomores and 25 freshmen that made these honor rolls. Next it was time to pass out Academic Letters as well as several Outstanding Student Awards. When this had been accomplished, a short intermission was taken and then the part that all of the seniors were waiting for began; the passing out of the many scholarships. There were 33 presenters of scholarships plus one for the President Award for Educational Excellence. Many of the 33 presenters presented more than one scholarship, so the total scholarships given out was probably in excess of 50. These scholarships ranged from $250 to $5,000. Many students received more than one scholarship because when each committee decides on who is to get the scholarship they have no idea if that youngster is getting others or not. It was also announced that one student, Austin Winters, had received a football and academic scholarship worth $16,500 a year for four years. The Necedah School Board consisting of Mr. Daniel Dutscheck, Mr. William Hatch, Mr. Michael Horak, Mr. James Collis and Mr. Brian Seebruck wishes to thank everyone that attended and supported this years “Honors Banquet.”

Necedah Alumni hosts annual banquet BY STEVE NORLING
JCEDC ANNUAL DINNER iLEAD Charter School was a focus at
the Juneau County Economic Development Corporation's Annual Dinner held last Wednesday at the Burr Oak Winery. Pictured here, charter school teacher Gil Saylor is speaking to the audience on how students at the project based school are leading the way with innovative projects while learning that trial and error provides needed lessons of grit for building entrepreneurs and leaders of tomorrow. The iLEAD Charter School project based model with a focus on leadership and entrepreneurship is one, according to Saylor, that is not only getting national recognition but international attention as well. The school just recently received a 3D printer which was purchased through the iLEAD Foundation, a grant, and in partnership with Mauston High School. Two of iLEAD Charter School students, who also happen to be Mauston High School Band musicians, performed at the Juneau County Economic Development Corporation's Annual Dinner; Kyle Roberts and Mitch Paulson. Roberts has recently been recognized by producers for his blues guitar playing abilities. The self taught guitarist has been given the opportunity to travel to Memphis to perform and record later this year his first blues cd. Traveling as Kyle Roberts Blues, Paulson is slated as the drummer and is scheduled to travel with Roberts. The pursuit of a career in music will also double as an iLEAD School project for Roberts. Despite what the outcome may entail, he will learn valuable lessons in the music industry at the young age of 16. Wisconsin Senator Dale Schultz was present at the dinner and requested to have his picture taken with Roberts and Paulson. EVA MARIE WOYWOD PHOTO
On May 10th the Necedah Alumni Association held their 115th annual banquet. This year’s banquet was well attended with 135 attendees including a number of the 2014 graduating class. It was also attended by one graduate of the class of 1944. Thelma (Pech) Frederiksen was the oldest graduate to attend this year’s event. One of the things that the Alumni Association does is to award scholarships to graduating students. Counting the ten scholarships given out this year, they have awarded 92 scholarships in the past twenty-five years totaling $46,000. In April of 2000 they established a separate Memorial Scholarship Fund. In 2007 they established a separate, Permanent Scholarship Fund with the Edward Jones investment firm. This fund was established to provide scholarships to Necedah High School graduates for all perpetuity. Something new this year is that the Necedah High School Alumni Association is now an eligible charity for Thrivent Financial to direct their choice dollar to the Alumni’s scholarship funds. The alumni association is also a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization so your contributions are tax deductible. The Necedah Alumni Association helps out a lot of graduates with their scholarships.
FSA extends program The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) recently announced the extension of the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program which protects dairy farmers against income loss through September 1, 2014, or until a new Margin Protection Program for dairy producers (MPP) is operational. Contracts for eligible producers enrolled in MILC on or before Sept. 30, 2013, are automatically extended until the termination date of the MILC program. Dairy operations with approved MILC contracts will continue to receive monthly payments if a payment rate is in effect. Since MILC payments are limited to a
maximum amount of milk production each fiscal year, dairy operations may select a production start month other than October 2013 (the start of fiscal year 2014). Producers who want to select a different production start month must visit their local FSA office between April 14, 2014, and May 30, 2014. FSA will provide producers with information on program requirements, updates and sign-ups as the information becomes available. For more information on MILC, contact the Juneau County FSA office by calling (608)847-7221 Ext 2, sign-up to receive newsletter via email, or visit the FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/wi.

Area 8th graders get hands on Health Care experience CONTRIBUTED BY SUE ZIMMERMAN Gundersen St. Joseph’s Hospital and Clinics was very pleased to again sponsor Club Scrub. Club Scrub is a health careers program sponsored by St. Joseph’s in partnership with Hillsboro and Wonewoc-Center schools and is designed to spark interest in health-related careers among 8th grade students through informative, hands-on activities. Students had the opportunity to speak with health care providers and try things out in a variety of hospital departments, (including the laboratory, medical imaging, physical
therapy, surgical services and nursing). Some of the activities that the students completed included casting a balloon, performing blood typing on themselves, performing physical therapy exercises, giving injections, scoping a melon, perform CPR on a mannequin and stitching a pork hock. The primary goal of the program is to increase awareness of health-related professions and the numerous career opportunities that are available in the health sciences. Club Scrub was a great success with 20 area 8th Grade students participating.
Participants included: Ciara Benish, Paige Rynes, Lexi Wohlrab, Angelica Salerno, Alexis Seeley, Kim Rhinehart, Olivia Kessler, Megan Matteson, Samantha Ann Hora, PaulAndrew Griffin, Reece Hammer, Lydia Benish, Alexis Clark, Carly Krajco, James Anderson, Shawn Wallace, Sydney Johnson, Kinsey Thums, Abby Eastman and Jack Holthe Gundersen St. Joseph’s looks forward to continuing this program each spring with area 8th Grade Students.

Sosinsky benefit to be held on May 31st
BY TASHA MUELLER An accident that occurred on December 29, 2013 changed a Hillsboro resident’s life after spending 55 days in the hospital following a severe head injury. Mike Sosinsky lost his balance while helping his son Alex on the Sosinsky farm, located just outside of Hillsboro. Both of them were on separate stepladders and while Alex was holding one end of a tape measurer, Mike stretched with the other end to get a measurement. Leaning away from the ladder that he was on, Mike was unable to keep his balance and fell head first, about eight feet onto a concrete floor. After the fall, Mike was unconscious as Alex climbed down the ladder to see if he was alright. Mike was able to wake up shortly after the fall, and had a bloody nose and backache. Once calling it a day working on the roof, Alex drove his dad back to his home in Hillsboro and noticed the words his dad was saying didn’t make sense. Alex then called his mom, Vickie, and told her what had happened and she said to take him straight to the Emergency Room at Hillsboro St. Joseph’s Hospital. The medical team took a CT Scan of his brain. A few minutes later, the Med-Link had been called and Mike would be transported to Gundersen Lutheran in La Crosse. The doctors noticed this as a serious injury and didn’t want to waste any
time and couldn’t wait for the CT results. Mike was rushed to surgery, which lasted roughly eight hours. The operation went well, but the surgeon told the family that Mike had been very close to death. The traumatic head injury caused bleeding in his brain. A large section of his skull was removed to allow for his brain to swell. Additionally, Mike suffered three broken ribs, which caused fluid around his lungs, and he separated a shoulder. The surgery was successful, but the family suffered a small setback. On February 1 Mike was diagnosed with a staph infection and instead of coming home on February 3, like originally planned, he was back in surgery. Five days later, Mike did not feel well and was admitted back into the ICU for a third time after doctors found that his brain was swelling once again. He received treatments and went through more rehab. After no further complications, Mike was released on February 21, after being in the hospital for 55 days. Mike is now home and making a steady recovery. The family is hosting a benefit in Mike’s honor to offset the medical costs. The benefit will be held on Saturday, May 31 at the Hillsboro Fireman’s Community Center. It will begin at 11 a.m. and last until 6 p.m. with a silent auction lasting until 5:30 p.m. and a live auction beginning at 5 p.m.
On Monday, May 26th the Hillsboro Area Historical Society will be open from 11 to 1 p.m. for Memorial Day. We will be honoring Hillsboro veterans who have served our country including Josh Sanford and Marc Mitscher. Learn more at the museum about their Hillsboro connections and their contributions during World War 2. The museum building along with pioneer log cabin, replica schoolhouse and machine shed feature many items of military service. They also contain several old Hillsboro fire trucks, old school items, the interior of the Greenwood Lutheran Church , old farm machinery, items from the past businesses in Hillsboro. The picture gallery has been expanded again and allows visitors to walk through the changes over the years of our community. Sit in the replica one room school-
house and imagine what it would be like to learn in that environment. We will have historical society members present to talk with visitors about the displays and people of our past.

A girl with a mission
BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Nicia Buttner is like most 15 year old girls, she loves pickles, listening to music, and spending time with her friends on Facebook and other social media sites. She giggles with her friends, especially with her friend Hailey, who is often by her side. While Nicia shares so much in common with her friends, there is one thing in her life that makes her feel alone. Nicia was born with Noonan Syndrome, a congenital disorder which has already been the cause of a lung surgery and many hospitalizations at the UW Children's Hospital in Madison.
Noonan Syndrome is believed to affect between approximately 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 2,500 children worldwide. It is one of the most common genetic syndromes associated with congenital heart disease. With it can come a host of medical and learning issues including epilepsy, hearing loss, unusual facial characteristics, short stature, abnormal bleeding and bruising, and lymphatic and kidney conditions. Those who have Noonan Syndrome are often diagnosed after being treated for failing to thrive in the early years. Nicia is well aware of her condition and has embraced the challenges that she must face. She is her own best
advocate and now has two missions. The first mission is to be a champion of Noonan Syndrome Awareness. The second mission is to finally meet other children who walk their lives with Noonan Syndrome. "It would be awesome to meet other kids, I would not feel alone," she said. Soon that opportunity to meet those kids will happen. On Sunday, June 1st, in Waconda, IL will be the Inaugural Noonan Syndrome 5k Walk/Run and Nicia wants to be there. Kristie Rockweiler, Nicia's mother, wants her daughter's dream to come true but financing the trip will be tough. "Funding is tight. Nicia's

medical care costs a lot. We travel to the children’s hospital in Madison for treatment of her condition sometimes upwards of three times a month to meet with her specialists. She has a total of seven specialists at most recent count," she said. The family believes they would need to raise approximately $1,000 for the trip to cover transportation, lodging, and food. Any money raised in excess or not used for the trip would be donated to the Noonan Syndrome Foundation. Currently, and through local fund raising efforts they have raised $300. "We're going to go somehow we will make this work," said Kristie. During our interview with Nicia and her mother and every time the trip was mentioned, Nicia lit up the room with a larger than life smile. In an effort to help raise awareness and funding, Nicia has started a Facebook awareness page - www. facebook.com/Noonan SyndromeAwarenessFor Nicia. On that page is a link and information on how donations for the trip and to the Noonan Syndrome Foundation can be made. If you would like to send a donation you can mail it to:

Keller presented with Eagle Scout Award BY TASHA MUELLER
What was once old, is now new. An effort that was sought out just over a year ago by Boy Scout member Allen Keller, is now complete as the community had the chance to view, for the first time, the completed press box. An unsafe press box, held together by shaky stilts, left Keller the option of taking on building a new press box for the Wonewoc-Center High School to achieve the top Boy Scout ranking as Eagle Scout. The project not only benefitted the school, but also the safety of announcers that would shake their way to the top of the old box on Friday nights. The field was graced by the completed project this spring and will be able to be used for the start of the football season in August. A feat that was completed in a little less a year, Keller was able to raise $10,000 throughout gracious donations by area business and organizations and through fundraising efforts to make his Eagle Scout ranking a reality.
Wonewoc Boy Scout Troop 119 held an Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Allen Keller on Sunday at the Wonewoc-Center football field. After the call to order and Pledge of Allegiance, guest speakers and a guest of honor presented readings and letters of congratulations for Keller. Keller recently achieved his Eagle Scout Award after making a new press box for the school to use. Pictured, includes Allen and his scoutmasters with his Eagle Scout Award, in front of the finished press box. From left to right: Kevin Gudenschwager, Tom Keller, Allen Keller, and Travis Mildbrand.
WONEWOC-CENTER Head Start, early childhood, and 4K students enjoyed plenty of giggles, running and rolling on the ground as Madisonbased children entertainer David Landau sang plenty of children’s songs for a fun-filled family night event on Thursday.
May 22, 2014
To achieve an Eagle rank, candidates must develop and complete a project that helps a school, community, or religious institution by their 18th birthday. It is speculated that the past press box was put in place around 20 to 30 years ago. The new structure is two-level, with storage space for football equipment underneath, a PA system and new stairs that are now placed inside the structure to avoid weathering. Additionally, more space was added to both upstairs and downstairs. Keller started the Boy Scout program as a third-grader in Wonewoc and has since witnessed most of the boys he started with leave the program to pursue other endeavors. The Wonewoc Boy Scout Troop 119 held an Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Keller on Sunday afternoon, taking place at the Wonewoc-Center football field, right in front of the newly built press box. Along with his parents, scoutmasters, guest speakers, and guest of honor, Representative Edward Brooks took part in the ceremony. Keller was presented with a Citation of the
Assembly of the State of Wisconsin, stating his successful completion of all requirements necessary to attain rank of Eagle Scout having completed 11 Eagle Scout required merit badges and at least 10 elective badges and went to his Eagle Scout board or review with 33 merit badges earned. He additionally joins an elite group of over two million men who have attained the rank of Eagle Scout since 1912. Keller has maintained a high level of performance in school, including membership in the National Honor Society, track team, performance in school musicals, and maintaining on the Honor Roll. Allen has enlisted in the United States Navy after his graduation in less than two weeks. Keller was presented with the Eagle Scout Medal and Badge, with many congratulatory remarks for his future. Congratulations to Allen for achieving this high rank of honor. Good luck in your future endeavors and keep your hard work effort strong throughout everything you do!
Representative Edward Brooks presented Keller with a Citation by the Assembly, honoring his successful completion of all requirements necessary to attain the rank of Eagle Scout.
Wonewoc American Legion members read the elite names of the Wonewoc area scouts that have previously earned an Eagle Scout Award, as Keller became the newest addition on the plaque.
Landau entertains W-C Family Fun Night BY TASHA MUELLER
David Landau, a Madison-based children’s entertainer, stole the show on Thursday as Wonewoc-Center Head start, early childhood and 4K families enjoyed an entertaining show. There were plenty of giggles, gasps, running, and rolling around on the floor as he sang children’s songs and invited them to act out silly stories. The children most definitely enjoyed him. With a guitar in hand, Landau was busy entertaining the group of youngsters, making kids happy and seeing plenty of smiles on their faces. Landau is originally from Shullsburg, and travels, sharing his talents with the younger generation. He was an elementary school teacher for 11 years and wanted to pursue a different track, still involving teaching children but not in a structured way. He performs over 200 dates each year, mainly at elementary schools, preschools, libraries, and fairs throughout Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois. He’s additionally produced two CDS of children’s music, “Music for Kids” and “Kids and Kitties,” and also has a DVD for children. Landau has won a Parent Choice Award for his first CD in 2003, has received accolades from Madison Magazine, as he was the 2007 silver medal award winner in the “Best of Madison – Children’s Musician” category. Playing music and singing have been parts of Landau’s life for over 20 years. He has sung and played guitar for the “Cork n’ Bottle String Band,” a Bluegrass band based in Madison, in which the group was voted “Madison’s Favorite Folk Music Band” by the Isthmus Readers’ Poll in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, and 2010. In 2005, the band was also honored to win the Madison Area Music Award (MAMA) for Best Bluegrass Band.
Songs Landau sang to the W-C crowd included selections from his CD “Rocket to the Moon,” which were: “Butterfly Song,” “Mr. Sun,” If You’re Happy and You Know It,” “Five Little Ducks,” “Sleep Song,” and “Wheels on the Bus,” plus a few other selections.

Dear Editor, To prevent deaths and injuries, Wonewoc Police Department and Union Center Police Department along with law enforcement agencies from all over Wisconsin will intensify our safety belt enforcement efforts during the annual Click It or Ticket mobilization from May 19 to June 1. Click It or Ticket is more than just a slogan for us - it's a lifesaving strategy. We're the ones who have to tell families that someone they love was seriously injured or killed in a crash. We must deliver this tragic news even when we know that a safety belt could have prevented that injury or death. And that's why we take safety belt enforcement seriously. We don't want to stop and ticket drivers or passengers for not wearing a safety belt. But we also never want to tell families that their son, daughter, parent, or other loved one was ejected from a vehicle or tossed around violently inside it during a crash because they did not buckle up. Buckling up is a quick, easy, and a proven lifesaver. So please remember – Click It or Ticket and together let's achieve zero preventable traffic deaths. Brent H. Oleson, Sheriff Juneau County Sheriff’s Office
Dear Editor, We would like to say a big thank you to all of the people who so generously donate to the Wonewoc/Union Center food pantry throughout the year. The mission of the food pantry is to create a hunger free community by providing supplemental or emergency food to those having hard times or a temporary crisis. The food pantry currently serves about 40 families and is open the first Saturday of each month from 9-10:00 am at the Township of Wonewoc Hall in Union Center. We are so grateful for the donation of this space to operate the food pantry. Not having to pay rent allows more money to supply food to those in need. On Saturday (May 10th) the Wonewoc Post Office collected food. We appreciate all of the donations by the patrons and the extra effort by the rural mail carriers. Other groups supporting the food pantry are The Bank of Wonewoc, Juneau County Moose Lodge 1913, Turkey Federation, Wonewoc Gunderson Clinic, Boy Scouts, United Methodist Church, St, Paul’s Ev.Church, Plum Valley Association, Union Center Fire Department, Grede Foundry,

Summer Food Service Program CONTRIBUTED BY EILEEN BUNKER SCHOOL DISTRICT OF NEW LISBON Stressing the importance of offering nutritious meals to children during the summer months, the New Lisbon School District announces the sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, provides nutritious meals to children during the summer, when free and reduced-price school meals are typically unavailable. Free meals will be made available to children 18 years of age and under. Persons over 18 years of age who are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year may receive free meals as well.
Taking Refuge BY STEVE NORLING Summer is coming and school will soon be out. That means that some interns will be starting at the refuge. They are much needed, as are more volunteers. With the retirement of assistant manager Dave Trudeau, each of the remaining staff members had to take on a portion of his job, as there will be no immediate replacement for him. So, if you have a day or even half of a day that you could spare, come on out and volunteer. I have been doing it for thirteen years now and still love it. The Friends group is always looking for more members also and you may want to join them as well. It is a great group and they do many excellent things for the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge. This has been an excellent year for birding and the birders. With the trees getting their leaves later and the birds still coming through on time, many of the ones that may be difficult to see in a normal year have been seen this year. There have been many birders at the refuge so far and they all report better than average sightings. As the leaves are still not fully out, there is still time to get out and do some birding. If you come toward evening you may hear the bitters or soras singing. They have been heard along the Visitor Center Trail and the Boghaunter Trail. And while these birds are very reclusive, you may even see one if you follow the song and have good eyes. Speaking of birds, there are still eight whooping cranes on their nests. The one colt that hatched on May eighth is now out and about foraging with its parents. We can all keep our fingers crossed that the predators do not get it. There are still eight whoopers on their nest and by the time you read this there should be either three or four that have hatched. Nature being what it is, even if all the nest wind up with colts, there will only be a couple left by migration time. The reason is that predators get a large share of young cranes. They take their share of sandhill cranes also and everyone knows how the sandhill population has grown in the last couple of decades. This bodes well for the whoopers if we can just get them to continue nesting and staying on the nest until the colts are born. Some of the spots I have seen cranes from are just west of the visitor center road, looking across the pool there, looking east across pool two from the parking area of Boghaunter Trail, looking west across Goose Pool from the road and looking north from the Visitor Center Trail where it comes around near the new outdoor classroom. Others have seen them from the tower and from other areas of the Visitor Center Trail. As the move around a bit, you just need to look. As some of you may have noticed, the fire crew has been doing some burning. They got a little late start because of the snow and rain this spring but are starting to make up for it now. The most obvious burn is the one on the west side of Headquarters road. They have also burned a portion of the savannah area of the Boghaunter Trail area. They are currently working to burn a couple of other areas and hope to catch up with their schedule. Watching these areas green up after they have been burned is really neat. Things come back so fresh and green and many plants that need fire to start growing again come up and that is why they burn. The youngsters, besides the whooping cranes, are starting to be born on the refuge. Goslings have been seen and there will soon be sandhill crane colts and cygnets coming around. Watch the trumpeter swan nest that is near the overlook along Headquarters Road and there should soon be cygnets there. There will also be all types of youngsters showing up within the next month or so. From turkeys to deer to grouse to ducks and many other young. This is a great time to get out to the refuge and check things out. The roads are fine, a little rough where they have not bee graded yet due to the wet weather, but very drivable if you take your time. So come on out, bring your camera or binoculars or both and enjoy the greatness of the refuge. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”

An Outdoorsman’s Journal
Twenty-Five Years a Writer! BY MARK WALTERS Hello friends, As of this week, I have been writing this column for 25years. I hand wrote my first column and the next 20 after that while sitting in bear stand in the Canadian bush back in 1989. My good friends, Dick and Molly Emerson, who were the owners of the Poynette Press at the time, were good enough to give me a chance to write an outdoor column and what has become an awesome full time job is actually more of a way of life then a job, thanks Dick and Molly! This week I am writing to you about my turkey hunting experiences on my food plot near Necedah with my 13-yearold daughter Selina. Thursday, May 8th High 59, low 35 We have this food plot that is next to a small pond that has rye planted in it that will soon be tilled into the ground and be replaced with clover, chickoree and oats. Our food plot is a very popular place for deer and turkey. Because it is on private land, I leave a ground blind set up on it, which is actually like a home and office to me. I do paper work in it, cook and take naps. If I ever get married again I might put a refrigerator in it and use it as a hideout. I picked Selina up from school at 3:20 and we headed out to the blind and I have to admit we were both very excited for our hunt. We had been in the blind maybe an hour when I spotted 3 jakes (last years young/males) and they really liked the look of the fancy new hen and jake decoys that I just spent a hundred and thirty bucks on. I was pretty impressed with Selina when she made the decision to pass taking a jake, with the hopes of harvesting a mature tom sometime over the next four days. Selina did aim her 12-gauge at the jakes and practice relaxing for when the real deal happened. What happened next was kind of awkward but interesting for Selina and I. The largest of the three jakes was so impressed with our hen decoy that it decided it wanted to create baby turkeys with it and for the next ten minutes the big guy had his way with her and upon pinning her to the ground completely deflated her and still did not care. Friday, May 9th High 56, low 36 Selina and I spent 10 hours in the blind today. We saw one hen the first five hours, and the second five-hour sit, we saw the three jakes and had they come in range we were going to try to double up on them. The three lovebirds stayed out of range and at days end Selina was kind of thinking she should have done some shooting the night before. Saturday, May 10th High 67, low 34 It was chilly in the turkey blind at o dark thirty this morning and my daughter wasted no time in wrapping herself in a blanket and taking a snooze on the forest floor. Generally, when Selina is awake we eat snacks and read to pass the time. The sun was actually warming the blind and I was in an excellent mood when across the food plot appeared five jakes of which two of them were quite large. I woke Selina up and she was smooth as silk as she got into position and watched the jakes surround the recently battered hen decoy. Our situation was not one of pulling the trigger
and harvesting a turkey, it was letting them get separated so each of us would only shoot one. I told Selina fire when ready and as soon her gun went boom so did mine and we had two “monster jakes” lying next to a beat up hen decoy that at least in this case got her revenge. Selina has filled her tag three years in row. In 25-years I have never missed a deadline and it looks like I could put 4050 years on this job based on the present status of my retirement program! That wouldn’t be such a bad thing! Sunset

Wonewoc Old Fashioned Day BY TASHA MUELLER The day turned out perfectly for Wonewoc Old Fashioned Day, with plenty to choose from, including shopping, eating, viewing antique cars and tractors, watching the parade, a Pinewood Derby car race, a catapult toss, plus much, much more.
Brooke Laukant, of Wonewoc, demonstrates the making of yarn which she uses to make into blankets and other items using an antique spinning wheel.
Throughout the hustle and bustle of the street, a crowd formed for the first year of having a Pine Wood Derby car race, which included over 30 participants. Kids explained they were having “fun,” as parents also mentioned how the new event allowed for the children to participate in something different for the day.
Also, the WMMA held a 50/50 raffle and a balloon catapult, which raised money for an annual scholarship. It is a $500 scholarship awarded to a Wonewoc-Center graduating senior who will be attending a one or two year technical school. Enjoy the scenes from a continued old-fashioned event.
Face painting was great fun for all kids, especially when seeing the final design.
Wonewoc Old Fashioned Day Parade Honorees included Gloria Hartinsten and Leonard Degner.
The “Wonewoc Wannabes” had fun along the parade route, with their wacky, bright clothing and loud noisemakers.
Just one of the many cars in the parade and on display for spectators.
Carl Degner drives his 1958 Farmall tractor in the parade, and many other antique tractors of his were also viewed throughout the day.
The Brookside Clydesdales were a beautiful site for spectators as well as the thrill of hearing them march along.
Above: For the first time, children participated in a Pinewood Derby car race, as they eagerly watched their cars race to the finish line. Below: Participants had fun trying their hand at a crosscut saw competition, seeing who could be the fastest at sawing off a section of wood.
The streets were filled with people, as antique cars and tractors were on display during the car show.
