LEARN TO SAVE
The Bank of Mauston was proud to participate in the 17th annual National Teach Children to Save Day. During the weeks of April 22 & 29, volunteers from The Bank of Mauston visited second grade classes in Mauston, Lyndon Station, Necedah, and New Lisbon to read this year’s featured book, ‘The Berenstain Bears’ Dollars and Sense’ by Stan and Jan Berenstain. In addition to reading this book to area students, volunteers from the bank did an activity with each class. The activity taught kids how to count money, make wise financial choices, make a budget, and keep track of their allowance money throughout the week. The Bank of Mauston also gave students an extra incentive to start saving with the organization. At the end of their presentations, bank employees gave each kid a goody bag, including a certificate for a cow bank. Pictured here reading ‘The Berenstain Bears’ Dollars and Sense’ to second graders at Westside Elementary School in Mauston are bank employees (l-r) Karri Olson, Brianna Johnson, and Lori Winkelman.
Last Thursday afternoon Juneau County Circuit Court Judge John Roemer scheduled a 15 day trial for the 2007 double homicide case against 30 year old John G. Tetting of Tomah. Tetting is being represented by defense attorney Ruby Cole. On May 17th Cole motioned the court for a speedy trial. Appearing on behalf of the State of Wisconsin was Assistant Juneau County District Attorney Cliff Burdon. Earlier this year Judge Roemer ruled on a motion which allowed Tetting to withdraw earlier pleas of no contest in the drug related shootings which resulted in the gun shot deaths of Joshua Alderman and Tabatha Nealy. After pleading no contest, Tetting had been convicted of two counts of 2nd degree reckless homicide; party to a crime and sentenced to 30 years in state prison. A sentence which now has been vacated by the court. The motion to vacate was filed by Tetting and came after authorities received a 2011 written statement from David Turner, a co-defendant, who claimed after the convictions that Tetting did not have a role in the shootings nor was he present within the car when the shootings occurred. Turner was convicted of the shootings and sentenced to 40 years in prison. Additionally, Tetting asserted in his motion he did not have an adequate legal understanding of what being party to a crime meant. This was an assertion he attempted previously and after he had plead no contest to the charges but prior to being sentenced in 2009. Within days after the pleas were vacated, Juneau
JOHN G. TETTING County District Attorney Michael Solovey released the following statement: "The Juneau County District Attorney's office has received the decision of the Circuit Court allowing Mr. Tetting to withdraw the plea he entered to two counts of reckless homicide occurring on March 11, 2007. It remains confident in the integrity of the charges and the investigation conducted by the Juneau County Sheriff's Office, and is immediately preparing to seek justice in the trial of this very important matter." Tetting is currently being held in the Juneau County Jail on $150,000 cash bond.
Mauston man sentenced to eight years for multiple crimes In Juneau County Court last Thursday, May 23rd, Timothy R. Andrews of Mauston was sentenced by Judge John Roemer to eight years in prison. Four years of the sentence will be initial confinement and four years on extended supervision for burglary and delivery of cocaine charges in a crime that occurred in the fall of 2012. Andrews also received three years and six months in prison (one year and six months initial confinement, two years extended supervision) for both the Throwing or Discharging Bodily Fluids and Threatening the Property of a Judge charges; six years in prison (three
years initial confinement, three years extended supervision) for Bail Jumping; nine months in prison for the Criminal Damage to Property charge, and 90 days for Disorderly Conduct. All of the sentences are to run concurrent to the other sentences. In a press release from Wisconsin's Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen it is stated that most of the crimes occurred after Andrews had been taken into custody on the burglary and cocaine charges. According to court records Andrews made threats during a court hearing on December 7, 2012, as he appeared by video from the Juneau
County Jail for a bond hearing. Presiding over the hearing was Judge Paul Curran. The threats came when Judge Curran placed Andrews on a cash bond despite the dependent's objection who was not represented by legal counsel. Records state that Andrews made verbal assaults using expletives aimed at the prosecutor, assistant Juneau County District Attorney Cliff Burdon. However, when Judge Curran gave Andrews a chance to apologize for the outburst and his behavior he refused. Curran ruled him in contempt of court and imposed a $500 fine and 30 days in jail. Andrews then accused
TIMOTHY ANDREWS Curran of bias and threatened him by saying that he knew where the judge lived. The complaint went on to state that Andrews stated, "You want your windows broken tonight? I will call people from jail. I will call people from here.”

He also excelled in football and track while holding down his high school job at the Reedsburg Canning Factory.

He was a member of Uncle Sam’s “Fightingness Division-The 41st Infantry Division also known as the Sunset DivisionMacarthur’s Jungleers. His unit was recognized for combat on the Islands, rooting out the Japanese invaders and protecting the Philippine residents.

Adams man sentenced to life for killing, hiding mother BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Last Friday, May 24, Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen issued an announcement stating that Larry Clark, 61, of Big Flats, had been sentenced to a life in prison with the possibility of release after serving 30 years for the crime of killing his mother, Marcella Clark, in 2010. Juneau County Judge Paul Curran presided over the Adams County trial and sentencing. Clark was sentenced to concurrent maximum sentences on all six other counts. According to Van Hollen's announcement, the sentence came after a three week trial where a jury found Clark guilty of first degree homicide, hiding a corpse, two counts of uttering a forgery, identity theft, and two counts of providing false information on a missing person. Van Hollen went on to state that during the trial the State presented evidence that not only did Clark shoot his mother in the back with a revolver in the kitchen of the home they shared, but he also left her remains on a tarp in woods on their property. The months following the murder Clark used his deceased mother's checking accounts and credit cards to make purchases for food and other items at local businesses. However, when confronted by law enforcement and others questioning his mother's whereabouts, Clark made false statements stating that his mother had been out of the state with relatives or was in a hospital gravely ill. According to news reports, during the trial prosecutors played a short video for the jury. In that video investigators had just informed Clark that his mother's body had been discovered and when an investigator exited the room, Clark was heard telling someone his mother was going to kill him. The reports go on to state that Clark's defense attorney, James Connell, had argued that his client had accidentally shot his mother. Prosecutors played the video while Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigation Agent David Forsythe was on the stand. Forsythe was the prosecution’s final witness before they rested their case.

Golf outing nets funds for Friends and Family Cancer Foundation BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD This past weekend 30 golfers participated in the Annual Householder Golf Outing which netted $5,575 for the Friends and Family Cancer Foundation.

Over the years the foundation has returned over $175,000 back into the community for such assistance. At this year's outing, according to Sandy Turner from Friends and Family,
the race for placement was a close one as due to a tie there needed to be a putt off for first and second place. Pat Murphy and Ryan Householder will have their names placed on a championship plaque which hangs at Carl's Bright Spot in Mauston. The event was sponsored by Rob Householder and Carl's Bright Spot. Organizing the golf outing and on the planning committee is Rob Householder, Wayne Hannes, Sandy Shanahan, Crystal Schroeder and Sandy Turner. They would like to thank the community for all the wonderful donations that were used for door prizes and auction items that helped
to raise the funds. For more information on this event and Friends and Family Cancer Foundation you can contact Sandy Turner at 608547-1701. You can also find the foundation on Facebook. Donations can be sent to Friends and Family Cancer Foundation - PO Box 8 - Mauston, WI. 53948.

GIRL SCOUTS EARN BADGE The New Lisbon Junior Girl
Scouts Troop 4525 completed their flower badge by taking a trip to Twin Bluffs on Hwy A between New Lisbon and Hustler. The girls learned about floral arranging, planting, soil & fertilizer and how to select plants for the area they will be in.

EAGLE SCOUT Saturday evening May 11th, another young man attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Logan Peterson of Necedah was the recipient of the award. Logan is the son of Darrell and Sharon Peterson and all are residents of Necedah, Logan is a member of Troop 203 in New Lisbon. His father Darrel is a scout leader in that troop and it is sponsored by the New Lisbon American Legion Post. Logan is sixteen years old, which is fairly young for attaining Eagle Scout. He has been home schooled all of his life. Logan’s final Eagle project was building a quarter mile hiking trail on the Nelson/Miller property. This property is under the management of the Juneau County Outdoors Forever Club. After making several trips to club meetings and making his idea known, he was given the okay by the club and went to work on it. First it was clear the brush and tall weeds and next it was ready it for wood chips. The City of New Lisbon and Jim Hall Tree Service donated all of the chips and Logan and his volunteers did the rest. Bill and Sarah Duckwitz, members of the Outdoors Forever club were on hand to thank Logan for all of his work. The trail is open to the public and Logan did it in such a way that it can be added on to and lengthened. Prior to that Logan had been awarded thirty-four badges. The ceremony began with the Troop 203 scouts bringing in the colors, followed by an opening prayer. After that Logan lit candles while reciting the scout law. He lit one candle for each of the twelve aspects of the law. He was then presented his Eagle badge, which his mother pinned on him. His father then took off his old neckerchief and put on the new Eagle Scout neckerchief. The award presentations were made by scout leader Tom Heindl. State Representative Ed Brooks next presented Logan with a Commendation from himself and State Senator Dale Schultz. The commendation commended Logan for all the hard work he put in and the effort of making Eagle Scout. In his closing comments, Scoutmaster Darrell Peterson, Logan’s father, said that he felt like he was a passenger on Logan’s trip to Eagle Scout. He said it was thrill watching Logan grow at each different level of scouting and that he was proud of what Logan had accomplished After the ceremony was over the guests at the event were treated to refreshments and cake. This was a great, once in a lifetime, event for Logan Peterson and he should be complimented on his hard work and persistence. STEVE NORLING PHOTOS

W-C FFA host Food for America program Food For America is an educational program focusing on agricultural literacy in elementary schools and communities. It is a program developed to assist FFA members and all agricultural education students in leadership skill development as they reach out to youth, peers and their entire communities by sharing the world of agriculture. On Friday, May 24th, the Wonewoc-Center FFA members set up eight stations for elementary students in grades K-4 around the school to learn about agriculture and where their food comes from. High school members presented the lessons to the youngsters in a hands-on manner to help with understanding. There was a station for the students to learn about FFA and how they could get involved, one where the
kids got to make and eat their own butter, and an informational station on how cheese is made with a variety of samples for the kids to taste! High school FFA members also taught the students about Food Safety, where everything that makes up a cheeseburger comes from, and they even had the opportunity for a good old fashioned hayride. Students even had the chance to make their own “beanie babies” with crystal soil and soybeans to learn about germination. The favorite station of most of the elementary students was the animal station where they learned about animal terms, listened to heartbeats, talked about possible animal diseases, and of course – got to pet the animals! This program is beneficial to both the elementary and the
Tree City award for Wonewoc
high school students. We are truly grateful to our financial sponsors who continue to make this educational opportunity a possibility and a success! Many thanks to Scenic Bluffs Equipment, Hillsboro Equipment, ABS – Jim Cauley, Denise Baumgarten, and Darrell Becker of D&T Delights in Union Center. We would also like to thank the parents and community members who contributed their time, equipment, and animals to help make our program a success including, but not limited to: Jason Bell, Barb Knopf – Douglas Legacy Farm in LaValle, Joe Brunner – Abundant Acres in Elroy, and Marie Geitz . As always, thank you for your support of the FFA!

“Harvey” hops on Stage BY TASHA MUELLER
So what do you do if you see a 6-foot, 3 1/2 – inch white rabbit leaning against a lamp post? Why, ask him to sit down, of course. “HARVEY,” the play, was performed by the Hillsboro High School Drama Club on May 17 and 18 directed by Rachel Haworth. Mary Chase, who wrote the play, began writing the story “HARVEY” after a dream she had about a giant white rabbit chasing a psychiatrist. Her family immigrated from Ireland where stories of “pookas” such as Harvey, were part of folklore and if someone believed in them, the “pooka” appeared to them. Mary also wanted to write something that would make her widowed neighbor, who had lost her only son in World War II, laugh again. “HARVEY” was written and rewritten some fifty times until she had it exactly right. “HARVEY” opened on Broadway in 944 and was a smashing success, running for almost five years in 1,755 perform-
ances, it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama; and the film made in 1950 starring James Stewart as Elwood (the man with the imaginary rabbit, Harvey) has become a classic. There was a remake of the movie in 1999, and the play ran again on Broadway in 2012. Elwood P. Dowd (Mitchell Parker) takes his imaginary friend, Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, everywhere he goes and introduces him to everyone, much to the chagrin an embarrassment of his sister, Veta (Ashley Stockwell). She decides to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium to avoid further embarrassment for herself and her daughter, who is in her twenties and still unmarried. But, she is mistakenly assumed to be the one who should be committed when she tries to explain Harvey’s “Existence” to the doctors. A search is on for Elwood and Harvey when the truth is realized. When Elwood shows up at the sanitarium looking for Harvey, oddly enough, it becomes apparent that Harvey has affected everyone.
May 30, 2013
Comedy, surprises and even wisdom were a part of this play while audiences tired to make constant sense of “Harvey” through big, warm, and mischievous instances. Cast, stage crew, and stage set include: Myrtle Mae Simmons – Haili Kehoe, Veta Simmons – Ashley Stockewell, Elwood P. Dowd – Mitchell Parker, Ruth Kelly, R.

Keenan hands over duties to Lozeau BY TASHA MUELLER Wonewoc-Center’s District Administrator Art Keenan will officially be saying “good-bye” to the school district as on Monday, May 20 was the first of many lasts as Keenan’s last school board meeting. The meeting opened up with a wonderful presentation focusing on what Keenan has done for the district over his 10 year reign. One of the most rewarding to the district Keenan has accomplished was the referendum for a new roof that the district was in desperate need with leaks happening on a daily basis. Voters approved of the project and gave the district the go ahead. And, the official go ahead on the roof was recently given with all minor details falling into place. Also in the works that will begin around June 10, is the remodel of the high school and junior high restrooms. There are needed updates to all of the areas. Another project Keenan made headway with was the mascot change from “Indians” to “Wolves.” Keenan has been working with children for decades, starting as a teacher and principal in Necedah in the 1970s. He then followed as a high school principal in Ashland for 11 years and a superintendent in Pardeeville for four years. Following suit, Keenan was the superintendent of the Royall School District for eight years before landing at the Wonewoc-Center School District. That’s over forty years of public education with children. Not only has he had a dramatic impact on all of the children’s lives during each occurring year, which is too many to count, but also the many faculty and staff members Keenan has guided towards a greater education for students. One final project Keenan has guided the district through within the last few months has been school safety. Just recently, the office received a big glass window where all angles can be seen with the many people walking in and out of the building. School safety has been a concern for Keenan after major school shootings have occurred. More precise drop-off points have been issued to parents with the main office being the one point of entering and exiting during the school day. Keenan will be leaving the district in good hands with Dr. Steve Lozeau coming from the Potosi School District. Wonewoc-Center welcomed Lozeau during last month’s board meeting as his District Administrator role will commence on July 1, 2013 and will also serve a part-time position. Lozeau plans on making the move to the Wonewoc area once his position begins.
Keenan will remain in the area and more than likely stop in on occasion to “check-up” on things. Well wishes to Art Keenan in his future endeavors and a big “thank you” for all he has done with not only the Wonewoc-Center School District, but the many others over the past decades. Reorganization of the Wonewoc-Center Board of Education After the election results, all members were re-elected for their continual years on the board of education. Two nominations were made for the choice of President, which included current President Sandy Rogers and Cory Wohlrab. With a vote of 4-3, Rogers was selected as the President. A selection was made that Cory Wohlrab become the VicePresident, with Nancy Dieck as the Clerk, and Merry Preston as the Treasurer. The district’s official Depository selection was the Wonewoc Bank, official Publication as The Messenger of Juneau County and the date of the Wonewoc-Center School Board meeting on the third Monday of the month, at 7 p.m. in the Wonewoc-Center Junior/Senior High School Room 218 High School Computer Lab. Selections for the Personnel, Curriculum, and buildings and grounds were made on the behalf of their interests. Principal’s Report Students in second, fourth and sixth grades took part in a “Reflexive Math” program. The math based program allowed students to use their reflexives on answering math answers. At first, the students were a little slow, but once they got going, students found it more competitive with seeing who could finish faster and the students completely excelled in all levels. The students were awarded with prizes on the computer program that could also be completed at home. Principal Michelle Noll stated that the program will be used again for next year but will be open for kindergarten through sixth grade students since the program is not only fun, but great for learning. Summer school is fast approaching beginning on June 10 and large numbers are in prospect for little league, elementary boot camp and kids in the kitchen with only one program being canceled due to lack of numbers. Approvals The board approved to let funds be dispersed for the Leo and Julia Visgar Scholarship for the upcoming graduating class. Rick Field was approved for the Girl’s Basketball Head Coach Position. Field was the Girls’ JV coach and the district
Wonewoc-Center Summer Food Service Program Stressing the importance of offering nutritious meals to children during the summer months, the Wonewoc-Center 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. The following locations will be serving the free meals this summer: Wonewoc-Center School Cafeteria, 101 School Rd, Wonewoc, WI. Meals are provided to eligible children regardless of race, color, national origin, age, gender or disability and there will be no discrimination in the course of

BY NANCY J SCHNEIDER As of this writing Ray is not home yet, but when you read it he will be. He is being discharged on Friday the 24th. The Doctor in Madison agreed with the therapist that he can come home but will still need to do “out patient” therapy twice a week. Well, going to Elroy twice a week is not as bad as going seven days a week. So things are looking up. I’m not sure how things will all work out, but we are stubborn Germans and will figure out something to make this work. It will be a whole new ball game with many changes and adjustments. We’ve dealt with many changes these past four months and we’re not quite done yet. But we survived the past so we will survive the future. Of course the dear Lord’s ears are going to be burning some more with prayers from me. I’m sure by now he’s getting a bit tired of hearing from me. Although not too tired I guess because He is still helping. Whenever I get frustrated or scared or don’t quite know what to do or think I say one of my favorite passages. “Be still and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10. And it works, I can become still and think things through and know He is in control. I also believe there is a reason this all happened. However I don’t have a clue as to what it could be. When and if I figure it out I’ll let you know. But for the time being I just take it one day at a time and I’m thankful we don’t have to handle more than one day at a time. Sometimes one day can take an eternity to get done and at other times it can fly by before you blink. Weird when you think about it. I mean there’s 24 hours in each day so why some seem long and some seem short is just weird. Maybe one reason could be that now that I’ve experienced all this, I may be more understanding when other people go through some hard times. Or it could be that now that I’ve experienced living alone I’ll be more sympathetic to others who live alone. Another thing I learned is how much Ray did around here. Things I took for granted I guess. Plus I surely learned how important it is to someone who is in a nursing home to have someone visit them. I saw many people who didn’t have visitors and it saddened me. I used to see that
when I did pet therapy with Tara, a beautiful yellow lab. Believe me those people really appreciate it when someone brings in a dog for them to pet. And it goes from them petting the dog to talking to the handler. I did know that, I experienced it for seven years. But then Tara died and I didn’t have her to take, so I quit going. I guess looking back now I should have kept up the visiting even if I didn’t have Tara with me. I actually did think about trying to train Spud to become a therapy dog. Who knows, maybe that’s one of the reasons this happened. Instead of just thinking about it, maybe I ought to invest time in working on getting him certified. He is a good dog, gentle and loving, but would need additional training to get certified. The only thing that would stand in his way is if there was a toaster around. Yup I said toaster. He is deathly afraid of the toaster. In fact as soon as I take it out of the cupboard and put it on the counter, he disappears. I’ve tried to show him it’s a harmless thing. But the noise it makes when it pops up just scares that poor boy into panic-ville. In one way it’s comical because if I want him to get out of the kitchen for whatever reason, all I have to do is set out the toaster. But on the other hand I feel bad that he is so terrified of the dumb thing. I’ve even tempted him with the “treats” that come out of the toaster, but he wants absolutely nothing to do with any part of it. So it goes I guess. Some day I will figure out what I’m supposed to have learned through all this experience, but for now I can only speculate. I have a few other thoughts of the “maybes” but I’ll keep them to myself for the time being. At any rate by the time this goes to print and ends up in your mailbox he will be back. Just like the actor who said, “I’ll be back.” Until next week when I’ll know more about how things are going I’ll leave you with this NO-nonsense thought: No one can drive us crazy unless we give them the key. n Nancy J Schneider is a member of The Wisconsin Regional Writers Association and writes freelance.

To my fellow citizens of this lovely land we live in. I just wanted to give a heads up on a upcoming event in response to all the frac sands mining going on in our area. Not only is it a grave concern to our own health and our children, but to the environment we live in also. Frack gas mining and it's reckless greed will eventually, hopefully sooner rather then later become illegal as more and more comes out of it unsafe practices and absolute disregard to humans health and wellbeing, as well as our waters, land and air, for a the very few to profit from. Since Shadowlands Operations is coming around and asking Juneau County to borrow as much as $65 million to fund their project (and profits). I think it only fair you know the social, environmental and personal losses you may experience. Many township boards and county boards are only now playing catch up to all this new mining occurring in our beautiful area. If this concerns you, then I wanted you to have this information. Jackson County Citizens’ Voices presents a Regional Conference in Black River Falls, WI “Standing Against the Sand Storm” on June 1, 2013. The conference is open to the public, and will inform and engage citizens and groups from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and Iowa on the critical policy issues surrounding the frac sand mine industry in Western Wisconsin. Program Details. Location: Black River Falls High School, The Lunda Center 1202 Pierce Street Black River Falls, WI 54615. To RSVP contact Sheila Danielson (715)284-5676, reskdan@centurytel.net. It may be of interests to you in a number of ways concerning not only human health but our environments too. Kind Regards. Cinthia Davey, Kendall
One current scandal involves the abuse of power by the IRS, targeting enemies of the current administration. To be sure, this has happened during other administrations, both Democrat and Republican. With that in mind, let me pose a timely question: Should the government implement policies that make us more vulnerable to such abuse? I would hope all real Americans would side with me in opposing such policies. One set of policies that are coming that we should be aware of is the Common Core (so-called) State Standards (CCSS) being implemented as we speak. In particular, let us look at the proposed data base, which has over 400 data points, and could easily be expanded to 4000. I doubt if many people would object to keeping records of academic progress, test scores, grades and the like, but the CCSS data base goes far beyond that. The data base would track children from age 4 to about age 20. It includes disciplinary records, bus schedules, including pick up points and times. True enough this might be useful and necessary information for the school district, but remember that the data base will be federal. Be informed also that this data base can be shared with about any bureaucrat and many corporations, because of Federal administrative rules that contradict federal law. Also included are work history, social security numbers, voting status (registered or not, party affiliation in many states) voting record, employment history, health history, arrest record not only of the student but also his parents. The potential for misuse should be obvious. Now add that many of the questions on Common Core tests are pyschometric, rather than academic. That is they test for “attitudes, inclinations and dispositions” rather than knowledge. It is also known that those who fail tests on the first go-round will be
Taking Refuge
An Outdoorsman’s Journal
BY STEVE NORLING Doug Staller returned to his position as Refuge Manager of the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge on Monday, May 20th. He stated that he is happy to be back and after his several months in Hawaii his family is also happy to have him back. He stated that while the wildlife was great and different than we see around here, which he really enjoyed, there were other problems, which could not be overcome. For one thing he could not sell his house here unless he took a tremendous loss. Added to that was the excessive cost of housing in Hawaii. There was also the problem of there being a two-day boat trip to reach the refuge from his office. He was in charge of two different refuges, one of which encompassed a number of farflung islands. One of the islands was Midway Island, made famous during WW II for the “Battle of Midway.” While he enjoyed the history of the area and the wildlife, he felt that things could be done better in that area. After he was given permission to return to his position here in Necedah he was asked to write an assessment of what should be done with his position there and what improvements to make. While one of the refuges that he was over had a resident manager, the other one did not. He suggested that a manager be hired for the second refuge and that the position that he held be eliminated. Staller also said that one of the reasons that he is glad to be back is to continue on with the whooping crane, parent-rearing project. This is something that he worked on for the last couple of years with the biologists. There are also a couple of other projects that began before he left for Hawaii that he will now get to see to fruition. He was welcomed back by the staff and it once again feels like there is a full crew at the refuge. The refuge and the town of Cutler have received money from the government to improve the roads in the Cutler portion of the refuge. This money was awarded prior to the sequestration going into effect but is just arriving now. Cutler has agreed to take care of all of the work so the refuge is going to award them all of the money and let them do what needs to be done. So, look for roadwork to be going on, on the western part of the refuge this summer. The very popular “Refuge Wildlife Series” is returning this year. The first date for the series is June 8th. This first program will be titled “Pollinators.” It will cover the many tiny creatures that help make the world a better and more beautiful place. The talk will be about bees and the many other insects and butterflies that pollinate flowers. This is on a Saturday from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. It should prove to be a very interesting subject. Come on out and enjoy another of the great free programs. Speaking of pollinators, while it is little early to talk about it, the June meeting of Focus on Photography session, which will be held on June 22nd, will also have that theme. You may want to plan on attending both, first to learn about them and then learn how to photograph them. I will probably mention it again in future columns. Another program to watch for in June will be put on at the Necedah Library. Kara Zwickey will be putting on a program titled “Putting Down Roots” on June 14th from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. This will give those who cannot make it to the refuge a chance to attend one of the educational programs. Some things to look and listen for in the next week or two are Monarch butterflies coming back from the south, the possibility of trumpeter swan cygnets appearing, although with the late spring they may not be quite ready, the bullfrogs begin calling at this time of the year. This is also the time of the year that black bears mate, but you probably will not see any of that. If you are into blooming plants, both yarrow and Indian paintbrush are about ready to bloom. When you think about it there is always something fresh at the refuge, so come on out. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”
retested. Does this apply to attitudes as well as academics? Much of the data is clearly a violation of privacy. The potential for abuse should be obvious, including the potential for brain washing and political retribution. If the data base were the only reason to oppose Common Core, that would be enough reason to kill it. I urge readers to research, and find out the full ramifications of CCSS. If any of this bothers you, contact your legislators and school board members and tell them to take appropriate action. Ken Van Doren Wisconsin Campaign for Liberty Education Coordinator 608-547-0227

Exploring Clark County BY MARK WALTERS Hello friends, My 12-year-old daughter Selina and I wanted to go camping and she wanted to be able to ride bikes with me on the camping trip. Naturally our golden retriever Fire would come along and I wanted our adventure to take place somewhere that we had never been to before. I was actually doing laundry when I pulled out my Wisconsin Gazeteer and located Sherwood Lake in southern Clark County and saw that it had a campground on it. That, my friend, is how we found our newest getaway. Saturday, May 18th High 79, low 48 Both Selina and myself were in an excellent mood this morning as we loaded our 2006 Chevy Silverado “crewcab” with baseball gloves, volleyball, camping gear, fishing gear, and a canoe. In case you did not catch it I said 2006 Chevy Silverado! Yep the old ‘96 has been delegated to farm truck and Selina and I are living in style. This truck has about 50 features on it that I didn’t even know existed it (what is a cd player)! Where the heck is the odometer. Why does my horn go off when I hit the button on my key chain? I thought air conditioning meant put the windows down. The old ‘96 was good to me as any best friend can be but I do believe I see more pride in my daughters face when I pick her up in the school parking lot with the 2006. As I mentioned earlier, I had never seen Sherwood Lake or park but I was pleasantly surprised when we pulled into camp today. First, for anyone that is not aware of this, Clark County may the sweetest kept secret in Wisconsin. Ample forest and farmland in a 1960’s setting are what I think about when I think of Clark County and if I were to relocate, Clark County would be thoroughly checked out. Sherwood Park is surrounded by, what I am assuming is, County forest. Sherwood Lake does not have a single home on it and I kept thinking I have to come back here and bowhunt, trap, fish, and shoot geese. Of the 36 campsites, only five were taken and Selina’s only care was that we take one where we did not have neighbors. After setting up camp we launched our canoe, had Fire come along and went exploring and fishing. The fish were not very hungry and we did not care a bit. After dark it was brats cooked on the campfire and the Brewers on the radio. Sunday, May 19th High 76, low 46 One thing I think is worth mentioning is the crazy mother on the shoreline last night that made for some nasty background entertainment. Sherwood Lake is only 117 acres and though it was really cool to see her fishing from shore with her kids, she must have sat on a thorn or something because, the entire time we were fishing she was yelling at her kids. My advices to crazy mom, pull out the thorn, smell the roses and enjoy life. Everyone can hear you yelling and if you heard a recording of the things you were saying to your kids, you would be embarrassed. On a side note, three days ago I was at a girls softball, as
well as, boys hardball game and I challenged some kids to a race on the school track. I won the first heat and felt 17 again. Some older kids got into the second race and halfway through the 70-yard sprint something gave out on the front of my left leg between the knee and hip and I believe that this injury is going to be a problem for a while. Today, Selina and I went on several bike rides and she taught me how to play the game Nookem, which is where you throw the volleyball versus serving it. I loved this game and think that I will put up a volleyball net at our house, I have to admit it is not a good game for someone with a blown out “something” on their leg. Both Selina and I agreed that the best part of this weekend adventure was a long bike ride that we went on where we explored forests, marshes, and farms. One farm that we explored a little bit had long ago been abandoned and we both felt like we were stepping back into the 1950’s. As is always the case we stayed until just before dark, went on another canoe ride and dodged one heck of a bunch of deer on a very pleasant ride home. Play with your kids. Sunset

Mauston girls are tournament champs CONTRIBUTED The Mauston U14 Girls competed in the Tomah Youth Soccer Tournament on May 17 – 19. The Mauston girls were the tournament champions and they deserved it. They played with a lot of heart and teamwork. They came back from a 2-0 deficit in the championship game to win it in overtime. They showed poise and resilience. They’ve had a great season and this win was a highlight. The coaches have done a great job; they had the girls ready for this tournament. They played like the champions they are. Great job coaches and girls! In their first game Friday evening, they faced off against Tomah. These two teams met a few weeks earlier and the game ended in a 3-3 tie. It was a fast paced, intensive game, which is always the case when these two good teams compete. Tomah came out very aggressive and scored early. Mauston tied the game at one apiece in the first half when Kailey Miller kicked the ball hard, which ricocheted off a Tomah defender and went in for a score. Midway through the second half Mauston’s Rylie Honnold scored putting them ahead 2-1. As time wound down the intensity climbed. Both teams battled hard. When Tomah’s offense swarmed around the goal, the Mauston defense protected. When Mauston’s offense penetrated deep the Tomah defense stepped it up. Mauston’s goalie Lindsey Harvey had numerous saves. With less than two minutes in the game, Tomah had a
quick break and with a great shot scored tying the game at 2-2. The game ended with that score. It was a wellplayed game by both teams. The Mauston girls displayed great teamwork by passing the ball and the defense played their positions well. It was a great game to watch. On Saturday they played the younger U13G Tomah team. The Mauston girls continued to play hard and work together as a team. The girls passed on offense and the defense held their ground. Mauston won 2-0 with scores by Alyssa Wallace and Kailey Miller. On Sunday afternoon, in their third game they were matched up against Holmen. The girls continued to jell as a team. The offense passed the ball well and the defense protected their turf. Mauston dominated the game winning 4-0. The first goal was made by Kailey Miller, Jenna Connor scored twice and Remington Trewyn also scored. With this win, the girls qualified for the championship game. The championship game was a rematch with the Tomah U14 girls. One could feel the tension as the two teams took the field. The Mauston girls learned from the game on Friday night that you need to play hard the whole 60 minutes for a chance to beat Tomah. The Tomah team does not quit, they keep coming at you. Tomah charged early and scored in the first few minutes of the game. Midway through the first half Tomah’s offense swarmed around the goal. Mauston’s goalie Lindsey Harvey blocked a shot. While trying
Front Row: Coach Jill Harvey, Jessica Patton, Jenna Connor, Jenna Blasco, Dayonna Bolton, Kailey Miller, Alyssa Wallace, Coach Rich Harvey. Back Row: Kailey Murphy, Jenna Maki, Bergan Brandt, Grace Ferguson, Alexandra Safe, Rylie Honnold, Ciera Vopelak, Jema Masch, Remington Trewyn, Lindsey Harvey, Head Coach Brad Bolton. to scoop the ball she was kicked. Play could not be stopped because the ball was inside the goalie box. While Lindsey lay on the ground injured, the goal was unprotected thus allowing Tomah an easy score. The Mauston girls were very discouraged being down 2-0 against a good team. They needed to refocus quickly to stay in the game. They were able to do that and the first half finish with no more scoring. In the second half Mauston’s Kailey Miller maneuvered the ball with skill and scored putting them right back in the game. Just like the first game, the intensity continued to mount as these two teams battled back and forth on the field. Tomah would charge and Mauston would stand firm and defend with determination. Mauston would drive the ball down the field only to see Tomah again defend kicking the ball away from the goal. With about one minute left in the game, Mauston’s offense
Bank of Mauston named in top 15 Seifried & Brew LLC, a community bank risk management firm, named The Bank of Mauston in its 2012 Top 15th Percentile of Community Banks, which was announced in May. To gain entry into this distinguished ranking, the bank demonstrated exemplary performance of balancing risk and reward based on the organization’s S&B Total Risk/Return Composite Ranking. This is no small feat considering that The Bank of Mauston not only survived the financial crisis but actually thrived. This supports Seifried & Brew’s belief that conservative, traditional community banking is the strength of our financial system. In S&B’s book, The Art of Capital Planning – The ‘How-To’ Guide, the author’s clearly demonstrate that the difference between the banks that failed and those that survived the financial crisis, or even those that prospered, was each bank’s ability to optimize risk. While the word “optimize” sounds incongruous with the threats of risk, the truth is that community banks make money from managed risk. Those banks ranking in the
2012 S&B Top 15th Percentile of Community Banks - like The Bank of
Mauston - epitomize such optimization of managed risk.
pressed forward and Remington Trewyn sliced through the defense with a great kick just out of reach of Tomah’s goalie to tie the game at 2-2. Time ran out and these two teams who had tied for the third time this year were going to determine who the champions were in overtime. Mauston won the coin toss and started with the ball. A few minutes in overtime, the referee called a foul when a Mauston player was kicked while inside the goalie box. This entitled Mauston a free penalty kick. Kailey Miller was selected to kick and what a kick it was as the ball flew past the goalie for the win.
