County opposes Ho-Chunk application for tax exempt land BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD The Juneau County Board of Supervisors have voted in favor of opposing a request by the Ho-Chunk Nation to the Bureau of Indian Affairs
to approve placement of land purchases in the Town of Kildare in trust. Should the Bureau of Indian Affairs approve the Nation’s request the land would become tax exempt and immune to many state, county, and local regulations. In addition to the County being opposed to the request, a petition is being circulated by citizens in the Town of Kildare who are claiming that should the 272.33 acre parcel go into trust, it would create economic and environmental hardships on the Town of Kildare and a loss of income for Juneau County, the Mauston School District, Wisconsin Technical College and the State of Wisconsin. The petition states that Kildare is a rural area (without large commercial or industrial entities) which cannot afford to lose valuation from its present tax base, especially in consideration of on-going Shared Revenues and Rebates, along with increasing municipal costs.
Further the petition states that in 1985 the Town of Kildare adopted an ordinance in July of 1985 limiting residential construction to one residence within five acres of land. The property in question, otherwise known as the White Otter Property, has two closely placed residences at the end of a cul de sac. According to the petition, the Nation’s application cites the desire for additional residential development on the location. Petitioners allege the Nation’s application is an attempt to circumvent the town’s ordinance and Kildare’s Comprehensive Plan to maintain a rural atmosphere throughout the town by standardizing home-to-acreage ratios. “Other people are denied the right to build additional residential structures. If this application is approved, HoChunk Nation would be treated as a Special Class from other taxpayers, which constitutes unequal treatment under the Constitution,” state petition-
ers. According to Beth Onofrio, Town of Kildare Clerk, the latest application by the Nation to the Bureau of Indian Affairs is a third attempt with the first attempt happening in 2001, and the second in 2011. “This is not a good thing,” she told the Juneau County Board of Supervisors at last week’s meeting of the County Board. Onofrio went on to state that if the application is approved it would mean a loss of approximately $10,000 for the County. Petitioners opposing the application feel the Nation has more than the ability to pay on the property taxes. They state the Nation purchased the property, and other highly desirable and expensive properties along the Wisconsin River with government assistance and feel the Nation neither needs nor can justify tax exemption, again emphasizing that if the application is allowed to go through it would constitute unequal treatment under the constitution.
Possible Land Deal with Necedah During the same meeting, the County Board approved moving forward with the concept of a land trade with the Village of Necedah. The land the county may consider trading is some of the land taken in just last fall and was known as the Oak Grove Golf Course. Terms of the land trade still need to be evaluated but the goal would be to utilize properties owned by both the County and the Village of Necedah so that the area could be easily marketable to developers. Currently the lots have encroachment issues. Coroner’s Report Juneau County Coroner Kathy Kohutko provided the board with a 2013 summary of the coroner’s office. Kohutko stated that her office in 2013 handled 184 deaths, the most ever. Of those 184 cases, 145 deaths with due to natural causes leaving 39 deaths due to unnatural causes. Twenty-six deaths were due to accidents, 10 were suicides. Two of the
unnatural deaths were deemed undetermined. One murder occurred in the County in 2013. District Attorney’s Report Juneau County District Attorney Michael Solovey explained to county board supervisors that his office was moving forward and handling cases in a timely and efficient manner and that felony cases were down. Solovey said that his office has been busy with trials, however, the backlog in the office was at a manageable and expected level with all cases usually being charged within 60 days from the time law enforcement turns cases over to the district attorney’s office. An area seeing a significant increase of cases are children that need state protective serves. “The cases are time intensive,” said Solovey.

Local politicians share government with Turkish visitor BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Monday afternoon State Senator Dale Schultz made several stops in Juneau County. Accompanying Senator Schultz was Mustafa Yikilmaz, of Ankara, Turkey. Yikilmaz is a researcher in the office of a member of the Turkish Parliament and has plans to one day hold political office. Yikilmaz spent the day with Senator Schultz as part of Professional Fellows Legislative Process and Governance Program. The Professional Fellows Legislative Process and Governance Program brings emerging leaders from around the world to the United States for intensive fellowships designed to broaden their professional expertise. Yikilmaz's trip to the
United States is not the first time he has been in our country, but it is the first he has visited time Wisconsin and rural areas. While in Mauston Yikilmaz, along with Senator Schultz and Sheryl Albers met with Mauston City Administrator Nathan Thiel. Thiel provided Yikilmaz with an overview on how city government in the United States is structured and operates. According to Yikilmaz there were many similarities including that women do hold elected positions of office. In Turkey 15 to 18 percent of the Parliament are women. A key issue in Turkey, according to Yikilmaz, is the sustainability of government. The government is a parliamentary democratic republic. The Prime Minister of Turkey is the head of gov-
ernment, and of a multiparty system elected by the people. The President of Turkey is the head of state and had been elected by the members of the Turkish Parliament. A change is coming to Turkey, said Yikilmaz, as this year the people will elect the President of Turkey. That coupled with Turkey being positioned between countries with unrest could threaten the government's sustainability. While Yikilmaz answered many questions, the goal of his trip is to learn as much as possible about our government. He will take those lessons back to other Fellows Program participants where together they will debrief. After leaving the lunch at Culver’s, the next stop in Juneau County was a visit with Sheriff Brent Oleson

Flag Day will help educate about history BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD The Mauston American Legion Auxiliary wants to know if you know the history of Flag Day - or if you know how to properly hold a flag, and dispose of a worn out flag.

There will be themed baskets raffled off and baked goods waiting to be purchased.
Unit 81 is dedicating the event in the memory of a dear member who passed earlier this year in January - Joyce Martin.

Energy exemption plan current selection for Royall BY TASHA MUELLER At its regular school board meeting on Monday, May 19th, the Royall School District board members approved a motion to move forward with an energy exemption plan. By going through with the exemption plan, the district can complete energy-related projects the district needs on a priority-based list. With the exemption, the district will not have to go into referendum and does not have to set a certain amount of money. The specified money will go towards selected projects. The option
does not require voter approval, as the possibility for an April 2015 referendum was discussed to pay off old debt and lower the tax rate. The board has set a special school board meeting for Tuesday, June 10th at 6 p.m. to discuss the plan in further detail. Employees at Royall will be seeing an increase on health insurance premiums by 11.4 percent for next year. There will be greater deductibles for employees, with a present deductible at $2,000 for a single plan and $4,000 for a family plan. The board agreed to raise the deductibles to $3,000
and $6,000, respectively. The amount the district puts into each employee’s health savings account will go up, from $1,500 to $2,000 for a single plan and from $3,000 to $4,000 for a family plan. Current employees cover 12.6 percent of the premium cost, as the district picks up the remainder. Royall’s staff pays more of a portion of the deductible than do employees of any other Scenic Bluffs Conference school. The district’s current carrier is the Wisconsin Education Association Trust, as the district would soon be shopping for health insurance for the 2015-16 school year.
Nine middle school students, and a few additional high school students showed interest in participating in joining a cross-country team. The school will look towards forming a cooperative with another district. The board recognized senior Trystan Houzner for all of his hard work as a student representative at each meeting. Evan Knudtson will fill Houzner’s student representative position and report on school events. In the special meeting next month, the board plans to hire a technology director replacement as the current director Ken Simon
resigned. Simon intends on becoming a stay-at-home dad. A new policy was approved to ban traditional tobacco products on campus, including electronic cigarettes. Under the state’s openenrollment program, 84 students will be leaving the district, as 24 will choose to enroll in the Royall School District. Students are allowed to attend schools in
the districts in which they do not reside in under the state program option. In closed session, the board discussed a salary discrepancy for former maintenance director Jim Burch, but made no decision on the matter after moving the item on the agenda. The next regular Royall School Board meeting will be held on Monday, June 16th at 7 p.m.

SPELLING BEE HELD Royall High School held a spelling bee in honor of Ed Thompson on
Wednesday evening for senior students in hopes of winning a $1,000 scholarship for first place and a $500 scholarship was second place for any two or four year college. Ed Thompson was born in 1944 on December 25th and grew up in Elroy where he attended Royall School. He placed in the top ten in the Wisconsin Spelling Bee. Because the spelling bee was announced only a few weeks ago, four students entered the contest. Principle Uppena was the Bee Master and Mrs. Jilek assisted with the words. Students were given a list of the words that would be in the competition beforehand to study. The four students in the competition were Jason Baeseman, Trystan Houzner, Sydney Murray, and Hayley Ormson. Hayley Ormson took first place with a $1,000 scholarship and Jordyn Baeseman took second with a $500 scholarship. Ormson will be attending University of Madison and Baeseman will be attending University of Northwestern of Pastoral Ministries. Pictured above are, Trystan Houzner, Jordyn Baeseman, Sydney Murray, and Hayley Ormson.

bake sale to raise money for the Juneau County Dog Shelter. One car wash was held at Rudig-Jensen and the other was held at Travel Mart, where they also sold brats to raise funds. The event was for the Service Learning Day held by the school to engage students on the importance of giving back to the community. The effort of the students raised $320 to donate to the Juneau County Dog shelter to help with spaying and neutering of the animals as it is easier for them to find good homes for the animals.

MEMORIAL
DAY
OBSERVANCE
Memorial Day is always a time of remembrance and gratitude to fallen service members as well as the soldiers left behind in past wars. Memorial Day began in 1878 when Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared May 30th be Decoration Day for fallen Civil War soldiers. It was not until 1971 that Memorial was made a Federal Holiday to remember fallen soldiers from all wars. Each year in the Mauston City Cemetery we gather to remember those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Some have never been identified but will always be remembered for the great service they gave to their country. The Mauston High School band directed by Mr. Spindler played patriotic selections and Taps
while the Mauston girl scouts and post 2114 presented colors and guarded the tomb of the soldier. Mark Curran of Mauston High School read the orders of Decoration Day and Tyler Butts, also of Mauston High School gave a presentation of the Gettysburg address. Pastor John Stake of the U.S. Army Chaplin, a 30 year service member, presided over the ceremonies and was touched by the presentation of the Gettysburg address, which had over 50 thousand casualties in the battle for Gettysburg. As the names of 30 soldiers were read aloud and poppies placed on the cross it seemed as though the heavens opened and began to cry for the fallen as it began to rain. As soon as the names were all spoken the rain seized, a simple gesture to never forget. DIANNA ANDERSON PHOTOS
ELROY AND KENDALL HONOR VETERANS
Members of the Elroy American Legion and Auxiliary, Post 115, held Memorial Day services on Monday with a firing squad, color guard, and Taps at each of the cemeteries and the Elroy Library. Flags and war markers identifying the veterans buried in each of the cemeteries were placed by the Legion and Auxiliary members. The playing of Taps concluded the Memorial Day program as attendees proceeded to the Brooklyn Bridge. Lieutenant Colonel Michael T. Murphy was this year’s keynote speaker. Murphy is the battalion commander for 2nd Battalion, 426th Regiment (Modular Training) at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Royall High School Students laid the wreaths into the river at the Brooklyn Bridge. The Royall High School Band performed at the Elroy and Kendall Memorial Day services, performing patriotic selections. Don Yahnke, a member of the Kendall American Legion Post 309, was this year’s guest speaker. His speech left many attendees thinking of the “what if’s” if there were no service men and women defending our country to give us the freedom to live. A roll call of deceased veterans from Kendall was read after the speech, as the firing squad and playing of Taps ended the program.

NECEDAH PAYS TRIBUTE
Over 120 people attended and stayed through the entire ceremony for Necedah’s Memorial Day celebration. After a short ceremony by the color guard and veterans at the Shennington Cemetery, everyone assembled at the Bayview Cemetery in Necedah. Marching in from Highway 80 to the ceremony area, it was the color guard followed by the veterans group and then the Boy Scouts with the Necedah High School Band bringing up the rear. Veteran, Ken Hornberg welcomed everyone to the ceremony and this was followed by the entire crowd joining in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Necedah High School band then played “The Star Spangled Banner”, with a portion of the high school choir joining in to sing. Ken Hornberg then read some notes regarding Memorial Day and its beginnings. One of the things that he noted was that much of the credit for Memorial Day belongs to the Grand Army of Republic. The Bayview Cemetery in Necedah for many years has had a monument to the Grand Army of Republic but this year it was missing. Mr. Hornberg explained that the bricks surrounding the monument were deteriorating and it was decided to repair it. Upon removing the bricks it was found that the base of the monument was also deteriorating. The monument was removed and was sent out to be repaired. A new slab has been poured and as soon as the monument is complete it will be placed on the slab. In lieu of having the monument, this year’s floral wreath in memory of the Grand Army of the Republic was placed in front of the new slab by Kay Lynch the president of the American Legion Post 277 Auxiliary. The band played two more selections; “America” and “America the Beautiful”. Mr. Hornberg read the names of the 13 Necedah veterans that have passed away since the last Memorial Day. The firing then fired the salute to all of the fallen troops and this was followed by the playing of TAPS. This year TAPS were played by two high school students, Marcel LaFountain and Janice Polack. A wreath was then placed at the graves of the Murphys, for whom the AMVETS post is named. Following the ceremony at the Bayview Cemetery, lunch was served at the Vets Memorial Hall. At noon the flag was once again raised to full staff. Then it was a graveside memorial at St. Frances Cemetery and another graveside memorial at the Danish Cemetery. It was an excellent day of remembrance for all of those veterans that died in battle and those that have passed away since.

It was impressive to see the amount of citizens that came out for the Memorial Day service in the city of New Lisbon. It made it difficult to get over the bridge and witness the laying of the wreath on Hog Island under the flags as a precession of vehicles awaited the annual walk/drive to the cemetery. The parade of firetrucks, the New Lisbon School band, local organizations, and veterans walked the ceremonial walk from the New Lisbon Park to the cemetery to pay their tributes to those veterans that have given the ultimate service to our country. While a short rain fell, it did not deter the citizens of New Lisbon from carrying forth the day of honor for our soldiers.

Mauston PD wants to increase force BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Recently the Mauston Common Council discussed a request from the police department on hiring another officer to the department. The finance committee sent the matter on to the common council for direction on the matter before the committee went through the process of review and creating options. Police Chief Mark Messer pointed to the growth of the city, and the increase of activity in which his department responds to, including investigations regarding negligent deaths, meth labs, and other drugs. He went on to state that the complexity of calls the department has been responding to are more time consuming than they have been in the past. Chief Messer proposed that council members consider the option to put a police officer on at the first of 2015 in a part time position while shuffling the shifts around to get the best utilization of the department's resources. He offered that by moving forward with such an option, the city will not feel the full financial impact of bringing on a full time officer. Additionally, the department would see a reduction in the overtime they are currently requiring. Recently, according to Chief Messer, the department has lost "quality" officers as they resigned their position to accept offers in other municipalities. Chief Messer requested that the council send the matter back to finance with a direction to research if the money would be there to support such an option. He pointed out that the department already had written into their budget for a part time position. Council member Dennis Nielson stated he felt that the finance committee would not have a problem - "The money has to be there," he stated. Nielson went on to state that he didn't believe anyone would be questioning the need to add to the department. Council member Steve Leavitt did however have a question; "I have a question. The question I have is the Police and Fire Commission issues reports all the time. You just had a person who retired and in their last year they had 21 written reports turned in, one arrest, one citation, and one warning and a $70,000 a year job. The PFC figured the person was doing their job. Somebody had their blinders on because that is not doing your job. That is my issue. I don't have a problem if you show me a need. When I look at the monthly reports I see one officer with 37 tickets and so many reports and then the next person has five. I am not trying to micro manage but I am saying show me a need where we need it, not just ‘okay money is there, let's spend it.’ I don't like the idea of spending money because it is there. I want to see a need that we need it. That is all I am asking. Give me some figures that say we've had this many calls, we've had this many hours, this many miles traveled." Chief Messer responded by stating - "I hope we wouldn't judge your police administration and their overall job by the number of reports that they write because I believe I wrote five or six last year, but I hope you wouldn't judge my job performance based off of that because I think we do a lot of other things besides that - short and long term goal planning, policy and procedure... so, that is just a thought. I hope were are not judging our police administration because I can only think of one person that left based off of that data. " Leavitt said he has had people call him and they are asking questions such as "What are we doing patrolling Townline Rd. every morning when it is not in the city?" "I just want to see a need. I am seeing two man squads around, I don't believe we need another officer if we are running two man squads," he stated. Lt. Michael Zilisch was present for the meeting and stated that the two man squads were due to field training. He added that in the 12 years he had been on the department the calls they are currently responding to are more in-depth than they had been in the past. "Twelve years ago I went to a lot of barking dog complaints, I don't go to a lot of barking dog complaints anymore. I never had to deal with a shooting - I had to deal with one two years ago. So, I think the calls for service are greater and that is where the push kind of is," he said. The matter was referred back to the finance committee.

Taking Refuge BY STEVE NORLING As I sit here writing this on Thursday evening, May 22nd, I have a short time ago come in from being flagman for a controlled burn at the refuge. The crew burned nine hundred acres west and north of Goose Pool. This included the area around the Lupine Loop Trail and the island just west of the fishing dock. My job was to make sure that no one got into the area and make sure the smoke was not going over Sprague/Mather Road. The burn went very well and will help many things to grow. For instance; lupine will not grow without fire to wake up its seeds. There are other plants that also need fire to do well. You will notice several burns this year as you drive around the refuge. There really has been no increase over other years it is just that most of the burns are near public roads. You can see one on the west side of Headquarters Road, another in the Boghaunter Trail and not the one we did today. It is for a good cause and will only improve the refuge. Now some really great news on the whooping crane front. There have now been seven colts hatched. That’s right; seven young cranes have been born on the refuge. There are still three active nests. One nest was abandoned yesterday and there are two pair that look like they are going to nest. This is by far the best year we have had since the crane project began. We do not know how many of these colts will live and will not know for quite a while. With predators and other natural hazards it is a pretty good bet that some of them will be lost. We have had a number of nests abandoned and most of the time there were no black flies around. Now we know that the black flies may be part of the problem they are not the entire problem. Part of the problem may be that these cranes were all costume raised and it has taken them this long to return to complete wildness. That is just another guess and it may take much more research to finally come to the correct conclusion. It will not be until we have wild born cranes nesting that it will be know if the costume raising has anything to do with it. There may be other problems that no one has even thought about yet. All we can do is to continue with the research and hope for the best. This is a long process and we do not want to get impatient. Keep your fingers crossed for this year’s crop of colts. We need as many as possible to live to continue to study them. Coming soon is the flight of the Karner blue butterfly. The first flight usually begins near the end of May. There are several sites on the refuge where they can be seen. We all know about the Lupine Loop Trail where there are always many Karners. However, there is an area along the Visitor Center Trail where there is quite a bit of lupine and there the Karners can be seen also. These are the two best areas that I know of. I mentioned last week that many young are being born. Today I saw two pair of Canada Geese with goslings. One pair had two and the other had three. They are still very small and really neat to see. Some of the other critters that are born around this time of the year are woodcock, ruffed grouse, pheasants and trumpeter swans among the birds. You should also start seeing whitetail deer fawns. From the last week in May through most of June, fawns will be being born. Another thing to watch for is the return of the Monarch butterfly. They come back from the south about this time of the year. They will be seen on the refuge as well as anywhere there is milkweed. On my own property I have two areas with milkweed growing. Sometimes it is better to allow native plants to grow than to attempt to plant special plants to attract some of these butterflies. We also plant some things to attract them and bees and hummingbirds, but try to rely on natural native plants as much as possible. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”

An Outdoorsman’s Journal
Guiding for a Paycheck BY MARK WALTERS Hello friends, I met Justin Kohn while doing a canoe fishing adventure on Lake Puckaway, about a month ago. Justin is a fulltime, year round hunting and fishing guide and spends most of his time working the waters, fields, and marshes of Green Lake County. I lucked out when Justin told me that I could spend a couple of days with him in his boat, of which one was with a client and the other was just the two of us. Tuesday, May 6th High 59, low 39 Justin calls his business All Season’s Adventures (920229/3494) and he started it 7 years ago with his good friend, Tom Chier, who owns Southway Bait Sales. I grew up fishing and camping on Puckaway and Justin, who just turned 32, grew up on a farm right on the shores of Puckaway and he told me that by the time he was 11-yearsold, when he finished with a day on the tractor, he would hook up the families 14-foot boat to the tractor, pull it down to the public landing at Marquette, and end his day on the water. These days that 14-footer has been replaced with a 20-foot Lund “Pro Guide” that is pushed by-200 horse Mercury Verado. Today I would have the honor of meeting and fishing with Martin Melin, who is a building maintenance engineer at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. I would spend my day in the bow of the Pro Guide and watch the guide do his job and the client enjoy what he had made the trip from Chicago for, and that was to spend a day on the water and catch fish. In this case, it would be walleye and the method would be planer boards and crankbaits, and it took maybe 5 minutes before the first walleye smacked a crank and soon after the 17-inch eater was swimming in the livewell. I had a feeling when I met Justin that we would be spending time together and today I would learn his very interesting story. He worked construction but was always a diehard outdoorsmen. Seven years ago, when he was laid off, he spent a lot of time on the water and several of his friends told him that he should give guiding a try. That is when Justin and Tom Cheir started this business and when the call came for his layoff to end there was no returning. I like that story because I did the same deal as a steel fabricator that would become an outdoor writer 25-years ago. Today, the fish were hungry and trolling was the system. Lots of times Justin works the weeds with a light jig tipped with a crawler. I did not know about his farm background or that he grew up on Puckaway until he showed us the fields he used to work, and then we saw a herd of eight deer running in it and one of them was an albino. Back in 2011, Justin and his brother-in-law Matt Nogalski placed 3rd in the Mercury Nationals, which is a 300-boat walleye tournament held on the Winnebago chain. Last year, Matt and Justin won the Mercury Nationals and to prove his love of fishing, Justin and Matt won The Good Old Days bass fishing tournament on Puckaway just last weekend. Today, I also listened to many stories from Martin Melin who in his own way is an awesome fisherman. Martin loves Wisconsin and is an avid fisherman on Lake Michigan as well as our inland waters. I learned a lot about making sure the crankbaits are going
over the top of the weeds in this shallow water fish factory. I also learned about some incredible gear, such as the Minn Kota “Talon”, which is an electric anchor that holds you on the fish in up to 12-feet of water, and the 17-boxes of crankbaits, which will also be used next to night crawler harnesses. The transition of the fish from weeds, to mud flats as bug hatches will come later in the summer and most importantly just the pleasant and professional attitude that it takes for a guide to actually earn a living in this very unique business. As I looked at the resorts, the shoreline, thought about the hundreds of days I spent as a kid on this water and remembered when I canoed the entire Fox from Cambria to Green Bay back in ‘92. It was good to see a young man that is going to keep the torch going by earning a living by providing the public with a day in the great outdoors. Thanks for reading! Sunset

St. Luke’s Tradition Memorial Day at St. Luke's, rural Elroy in the Township of Glendale, was filled with tradition, honor, and respect for our fallen heroes. The morning event began with the honor guard from the Kendall Legion and a group of neighbors and families gathered in the cemetery. That was followed by a memorial service in the church featuring the debut of an original poem about the church written and recited by 93 year old, Evelyn Zirk, longtime local resident and good friend to almost everyone in the entire community. It reads........ Come with me to the sturdy old church sitting on top of the hill Surrounded by gravestones, reverently still Let's open up the windowed double door To view the gray painted wide board floor Up front the hand made altar painted white and gold To the left, the unplugged organ stands ancient and old My women friends dressed warmly, sitting very still There sit the men to the left, many pews to fill I need to sit down on the hard straight backed pew, They are very uncomfortable, you will say so too Sermons at weddings and funerals we heard God's blessings and grace from His precious holy word Before leaving, look up; the tin sculptured ceiling, we need to see Where the wired black stove pipe used to be. Now close the door and to ourselves we say We need to come back again on some sunny day The Rev. Isaac Fleming from the Congregational church in Hillsboro gave an inspiring sermon perched in the pulpit that was once occupied by his Great Great Uncle, the Rev. Paul Lutzke, who was pastor of St. Luke's in the late 1920's and early 1930's. The service was followed by a community pot

luck featuring many dishes that were favorites of the attendees, much as many events at the church did when it had an active congregation. The church was alive with friendly conversations featuring folks from, Kendall, Elroy, Hillsboro, Mauston, LaCrosse, Hebron, and Madison in Wisconsin, as well as several that had traveled from Minnesota for the event. This has become an annual event since the restoration of the church began back in the early 2000's. St. Luke's Auxiliary and Preservation Committee sponsors the event. They are planning a Fall event at the church on Saturday October 11th in conjunction with the Colors of Kendall fall festival. It will feature an old fashioned hymn sing several times during the day along with soup and drinks for lunch and an array of home baked goodies for dessert. That will conclude with the drawing for the annual raffle, which is a fundraiser to help cover costs of future restoration projects.
