Shooting takes one life in Mauston BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD In the wee hours of Friday morning, May 31st, tragedy struck in Mauston behind PJ's Bar and Grill as just after midnight shots were fired and two young Mauston women were gunned down. One, 29 year Gail Howland lost her life, while 23 year old Ebony Lasher was left in critical condition fighting to keep hers. By dawn most of Mauston awoke to word that the entire downtown area had been roped off and was being investigated as a crime scene. It would take days before official word on who the victims were and the name of the suspect were officially released Cody J. Treul, 29 of Mauston, was taken into custody that same night after the shooting. The first official announcement from law enforcement came Friday morning in a press release from Mauston Police Chief Mark Messer and Juneau County Sheriff Brent Oleson. In the release they wrote: "At approximately 12:10 a.m. Juneau County Communication Center received several calls about a shooting that took place in the 300 block of East State Street behind P.J.s Bar and Grill in the City of Mauston. There were two female victims. One of the victims was pronounced dead by the Juneau County
Coroner. Law enforcement has a male subject in custody and the public is not in danger. Names of the victims are being withheld pending notification of family members." Assisting law enforcement with the investigation are the Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigation, and the Wisconsin State Crime Lab. The Wisconsin State Patrol, as well as the New Lisbon and Elroy police departments assisted in apprehending Treul at his apartment down the street from PJ’s Bar. On Monday morning, June 3rd, official details of the crime began emerging when Treul was formally charged with 1st degree intentional homicide, attempted 1st degree intentional homicide, and 1st degree recklessly endangering safety. As one family prepared for the burial of Gail Howland and another family sat vigil over Ebony Lasher who was still listed in critical condition, Treul appeared Monday afternoon in Juneau County Circuit Court before Judge Paul Curran for a bond hearing. The criminal complaint supporting the charges state that on May 31 at approximately 12:10 a.m. Detective Shaun Goyette of the Juneau County Sheriff's Department was alerted to
respond to a report of shooting victims located behind PJ's Bar and Grill on State Street in Mauston. When the detective arrived on the scene he observed the female victims laying on the ground and both had suffered numerous gun shots. A witness, Douglas Schroeder, stated to the detective that he had been present at the time of the shooting. He stated that when he heard a loud bang he turned to observe "Cody" shooting Gail Howland. According to Schroeder the gun was then aimed at him before Treul allegedly shot Lasher multiple times. Other witnesses on the scene collaborated Schroeder's statement with their own eye witness recall of the tragic shooting. Detective Goyette reported that at approximately 12:54 a.m. on Friday, May 31st, Mauston Police Department officer Eric Sanner arrested Treul at a residence in the 200 block of State Street. At the time of the arrest the criminal complaint states that Treul was in possession of a Springfield semi-automatic handgun. The criminal complaint goes on to state that during an autopsy on Howland, Dr. Robert Corliss at the V.A. Hospital in Madison recovered three bullets from her body and SEE SHOOTING, PAGE 3

One dead in hit and run in City of Elroy According to a press release issued by Elroy Police Chief Tony Green this past weekend on Friday, May 31, 2013 at approximately 10:02 p.m. the Elroy Police Department responded to a report of a suspect hit by a vehicle on State Rd 80/82 near the Valley Inn Dinner Club in the City of Elroy. The subject, identified as 27 year old James F. Bendel Jr. of Mauston, was transported to St. Joseph's Hospital in Hillsboro via the Elroy Ambulance. Bendel Jr. was later pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Hospital. Over the weekend The Messenger received numerous messages from readers that the hit and run had occurred and that the Elroy Police were looking for a red SUV. It was from those messages that we first learned of the tragic accident which took Bendel's life. After making numerous calls and attaining the press release we were able
to speak to Elroy Chief of Police Tony Green. Green stated that at this time he would not be releasing any additional information as the incident is still under investigation. Green went on to state that the make of the vehicle in question has not yet been determined. He went on to state that should information become available a press release would be issued as was the case when the incident happened. Green stated that the first release on the incident was faxed to the Sheriff's Department and was to made available to those who inquired about the incident. "I knew people would want to know and would be calling in about it," stated Green. The investigation is being handled by the Elroy Police Department. The Wisconsin State Patrol and the Juneau County Sheriff's Department are assisting with the investigation.

SHOOTING, from page 1 ruled the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds. Medical staff at the U.W. Hospital in Madison advised law enforcement that Ebony Lasher sustained two gunshot wounds. At the Monday, June 3rd, bond hearing Juneau County District Attorney Michael Solovey requested that Treul be placed on a $2 million cash bond. Treul appeared in court via video feed from the Juneau County Jail and was represented by public defender Liz Mitchel who requested that the bond be set significantly lower at $100,000. Mitchel stated that Treul should not be considered a flight risk as he did not have a prior violent criminal history. She went on to state that he was a member of the Wisconsin Air National Guard and has been employed at Volk Field at Camp Douglas for approximately six years. Mitchel then pointed to Treul serving in the Air Force for four years and reaching the rank of Master Sergeant E-7. Judge Curran stated that for the safety of the public, including the witnesses, he agreed with prosecution and ruled that the bond would be set at $2 million. Along with the cash bond conditions were ordered including that Treul not have contact with any of the witnesses, nor the victim Ebony Lasher, or either of the families of the victims. An initial appearance before Judge John Roemer has been scheduled for June 19, 2013. According to defense attorney Mitchel, Treul's family was in the process of retaining defense attorney David Geraghty who would more than likely request a hearing before then.

Juneau County Action Group urges board not to endorse sand fracking with bonds BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD On Monday, June 3rd, the Juneau Action Group held a showing of the documentary "The Price of Sand" by Jim Tittle at the Hatch Public Library in Mauston. According to the filmmaker the goal of this documentary is to "find the real price of frac sand, not just in dollars, but in lives, friendships, families and the future of our region." The Juneau Action Group presented the film on the heels of starting a petition and action against Juneau County moving forward in issuing bonds for Shadowland Holdings to help fund a sand fracking facility in the Township of Orange. In a letter to the County Board of Supervisors the group wrote that they urge the board to vote against the proposal to issue the bonds as they are concerned with the county involvement in financing the
project. "We are fearful that Shadowland is not being entirely open about its motives involving the county and we see no advantage to it," they wrote. The group went on to claim that the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) is where the money actually comes from for a bond and that in 2011-2012 that the WEDC did not have sufficient policies to administer its grant, loan and tax credit programs effectively. An additional claim made by the Juneau Action Group is that some amounts exceeded specific limits and that there are restrictions on the total amount of money a company can have in issued bonds. The group also questions the lack of information available on Shadowland Holdings including their track record. In their letter to the Juneau County Board of Supervisors the group wrote
they felt that issuing the bond is a financial risk and that should Shadowland default on bond repayment Juneau County could be named and involved in lawsuits and incur costs defending the claims. Another question raised by the group is whether or not Juneau County should enter into an agreement in an industry the Juneau Action Group claims is fraught with environmental concerns. As for whether or not the sand fracking project in the Township of Orange will move through without the issuance of bonds is not in question, at least according to George Bates of Shadowland Holdings who at last month's meeting of the Juneau County Board of Supervisors stressed that should the board approve the revenue bonds there would be no liability to the county even if there should be a default for any reason. It was also at that board meeting
A group of local citizens attended the Juneau County Action Group’s meeting. that Bates stated Shadowland could move forward with the project even without the bonds. As reported in the Messenger, last month supervisors voted 14 to 7 in favor of the resolution in moving forward with the bonds. However, a final vote on the deal has yet to be
taken. As outlined in the May board meeting packet the borrower, Shadowland Holdings, expects the reimbursement to be funded with the proceeds of industrial revenue bonds which will constitute reimbursement bonds to be issued on its behalf with respect to the project and has indicated
that it does not expect the aggregate principal amount of any bonds for the project to exceed $65,000,000. Shadowland Holdings has represented that as a result of the project they would be able to create 50 full time jobs at the project site and the new facility.

Residents say tornado responsible for extensive damage BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD "I know for a fact that it was a tornado," stated Kari VanSelow. VanSelow went on to state that last Thursday afternoon the reason, she says, she knows a tornado touched down in rural Mauston near the Brown Bar. "I live there and had less then a minute to get my son running from the bus and grab my 3 year old and put them in a bath tub before we were hit by the F2 tornado." VanSelow went on to say that due to damage the Red Cross has the placed her, and at least 2 other families in a motel while the clean up from debris took place. "It formed in the field next to the Brown Bar. I watched the funnel cloud touch down as I was running with my son and it hit the park. Then I believe it went into another field beside the park. I was being pelted with debris as I thru my son in the house and I had maybe 30 seconds to get my boys in the tub and cover them with a mattress," said VanSelow. VanSelow went on to state, "My husband stayed out of the bathroom and opened windows and watched it tear through everything and then it disappeared out of sight. The Red Cross, as they were filling out my paperwork, wrote tornado damage. The downed trees, power lines and house were our damages. Our neighbor had a huge tree lift up and land on his trailer which is destroyed. Houses were pushed off foundations we took a few pics and left as soon as we could with our children. It was a scary experience. One I'll never forget. My 11 year old still can't sleep and is now terrified," she said.
According to Juneau Emergency County Management Director Gervase Thompson, damage in the area was minor with a hit or miss pattern. Thompson went on to state that as far as he was aware, whatever had happened, it hasn't yet been classified as a tornado. "It could have also been straight line winds," said Thompson. "The National Weather Service in LaCrosse did say they saw some cloud rotation in that area, but we can't say if it was a tornado," he stated. Ascertaining whether or not a tornado has struck a given area often is determined after they have conducted investigation of the resulting damage and reports of conditions that were seen at the time. Radar can only show if there is cloud rotation that may result in a tornado forming, but it does not give clues to if one has touched down. While the question remains unanswered about whether or not a tornado did touch down last Thursday in Juneau County there is no doubt that the area has suffered from recent storms and is a reminder that residents should take precautions when unstable weather patterns enter the area. In the event of high winds or tornado related weather condi-

Local residents who received massive damage from Thursday’s storm reported seeing the actual tornado that touched down. tions, the following general safety procedures are recommended. Avoid upper floors whenever possible, the upper floors receive the full force of the winds. Spaces in basement areas are better than locations on any other floor. Seek out interior spaces that form a part of a protected interior core. Avoid rooms with exterior walls, especially those facing south and west. Rooms facing north usually receive the least damage of all exterior rooms. A room that is completely interior protects against fly-
ing debris. Avoid interior partitions that contain glass and rooms with windows. Avoid rooms with wide roofs that could collapse easily. If you are outside and cannot get inside, crouch for protection beside a strong structure, or lie flat in a ditch or low-lying area and cover your head and neck with your arms or a piece of clothing.

Kendall joins Western Wisconsin CDBG BY TASHA MUELLER With many aspects coming into play for the Village of Kendall regarding becoming a part of the Revolving Loan Fund (RLF), board members approved a motion of becoming participants of the group that will help aid in economic growth. The Western Wisconsin CDBG Regional RLF Monroe County Administrator Cathy Schmit was present at Monday night’s Kendall Village Board meeting to answer all questions and to give more information about the program on whether or not the village should join the regional and send all control over to the administrator. The CDBG-RLF is part of the 7 Rivers Alliance leadership group that boost economic growth in western Wisconsin, along with southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa. The group was formed as a supporting fund for communities within the county to help aid loans over $200,000 while a lower amount would be in control of the community with the loan. The WWEDF board will review and approve all loan applications exceeding this amount since loans of this size would represent a considerable amount of the WWEDF’s available funds. An advantage of the program is to encourage local governments to work regionally. By doing so, others that are wanting to start a business within Monroe County would be better off to be within the smaller communi-
ties in the county. This would mean financing for growing and/or expanding businesses, larger loan amounts and a large economic impact on individual basis. Currently, Kendall has $15,000 into the program and board members encouraged the go ahead to be able to have the chance to receive aid for economic growth. The CDBG-RLF group has expanded to $6 million in aid to economic development, which is open to apply for with participating areas. Being a part of the Regional RLF group will make receiving loans easier for growth and the capability for more employment. Village Board opening filled Two applicants, Tony Roberts and Lee Wyttenbach, submitted their letters of intent to gain a spot on the board for a one-year term. Board members took a vote on the two and with a vote of 5-1 Wyttenbach will be holding the position. The board approved of the resignation of Bob Mahr’s term during last month’s meeting. Mahr has been on the board for 21 years, 19 of them a trustee and two years as president. Business License Renewals for 2013-2014 The board approved Class A Beer Only, Class B Beer and Liquor, Soda Coin Machines, Cigarettes and Operators Licenses for all Kendall businesses that applied. It was brought up that a Class B Beer and
Liquor License application was turned in from Brian Wood, owner of Wood Pipes that would like to open up a bar in their store downtown and be able to have carry outs. The board was on the fence on whether or not the license would be a good idea for the business to have. Once the application is looked over, the board will either approve or deny the matter. Kickback Beer Garden The Kickback Bar and Grill is looking into retaining a beer garden to the side of the building in attempts to have customers smoke in a controlled area rather than in the front of the building. The board had asked for a diagram of what the project would entail, including how big the area would be in the parking lot that needs to be open for off-street parking and the materials needed. Card Tables and Chairs Within the recent months, many of the side chairs along the walls of the Kendall Community Hall have fallen apart after the seats have been detached from the wall. The board is looking into the option of removing the chairs so there would be more room for large events. Members have mentioned that many of the current folding chairs are in rough condition, as well as the current card tables. Looking into a price for the table and chairs will be available for next month’s meeting. Other Business Francis Trepes asked the
Kendall Library news BY LYNETTE VLASAK Our first session of the summer reading program (SRP) will be on Thursday, June 13. The younger children will be meeting in the community hall and the older session will be held in the library. If you are planning to come to the library that day, you might want to wait until sometime after 2:30 p.m. to do so. Due to our limited space things get pretty crowded. Also, on SRP days, the public access computers will not be available until SRP is over, please plan
accordingly. SRP library sessions will run on Thursdays through June. SRP activities in July will not involve library space. The Sit ‘n Knits are meeting on Fridays during the summer.

board why Marshall Rich Laxton was unable to give local newspapers monthly Marshal reports that didn’t include names of people that were in accidents or receiving citations. Trepes was also wondering if with the names the location of the individual(s) could able to be stated. The board denied a request for the have chickens in a yard in town at Jim Zirk’s home. A letter stated the intent to have five chickens, no roosters, fenced in and would be able to take care of. Board members said that if they were to let one person do it, then others would want to as well. A replacement fence at Thunder Alley’s will be taking place after a vandalism accident happened about a month ago. The board approved for the fence to be replaced. During a special board meeting last Tuesday, the board approved a demolition permit for the Hillsboro Farmer Co-op to raze the feed and grinding portion of the business’s mill, a structure that has been a part of the Kendall community for decades. The co-op made the decision to discontinue the milling services in May. The project will be completed by May 1, 2014 with much of the work being done by co-op employees.
The grinding operations stopped on Monday. On June 12, there will be an open book from 4-6 p.m. and a board of review from 6-8 p.m. The next regular meeting will be on July, 1 at
7 p.m. and a special meeting with MSA engineer Andy Zimmer will be on Monday, June 24 at 6 p.m. to discuss the Spring Street project details.

WILDERNESS PARK HAS NEW EQUIPMENT
MEMORIAL DAY HONORED It was a cold blustery day with a
hint of rain in the air, but between 90 and 100 people came together at Necedah’s Bayview Cemetery. The weather was not the only problem of this day. The PA system refused to work. So, with a cold wind blowing and no PA a shortened, but patriotic service went on. The service opened with the Necedah High School band playing the National Anthem. This was followed by Vince Marchetti reading a short history of Memorial Day. In 1864 the south decided to remember the soldiers that had died in the Civil War. They decided to decorate all military graves in the south. In 1872 congress recognized it officially and the date it was celebrated on was May 30. That remained the date of Memorial Day until 1971, when congress passed a law making the official date on which Memorial Day is celebrated. Memorial Day was originally for only those who had died in battle but has since been extended to all veterans who have left this earth. The Necedah High School then played The Navy Hymn and America the Beautiful, after which Margaret Marchetti gave the Benediction. This was followed by Jack Jasinski offering our prayers to the Oklahoma victims and survivors and reading the names of nine WWII veterans who have passed away since last Memorial Day. These nine were: Kenneth Nordall, Robert Cetnar, John Sorensen, Eugene Wilson, James Hill, Jack Salter, Neil Vanderhoof, Bruce Walker, and Anthony Kraus. The band then played America and this was followed by the placing a wreath at the cemetery’s monument to our veterans. The firing squad next gave the salute and the playing of TAPS followed. While there may have been weather and electronic problems the event went very well and left everyone on hand feeling a little more thankful for our veterans. STEVE NORLING PHOTOS
Juneau County’s Wilderness Park Campground has undergone some improvements and upgrades this spring. A brand new all concrete pit toilet was installed and best of all for families camping there is the new playground. This is an excellent playground laid out all in sand and adjacent to the sand beach. This gives the youngsters a way to get from the beach to the playground with little walking. The work on the playground was done by Miller and Associates of Sauk City and the playground was purchased from Burke Equipment and was manufactured in Fond Du Lac, making the entire project an all Wisconsin project. The design for the playground was done by the students of the Necedah Schools. Four different designs were taken to the school for the youngsters who were asked which design they preferred. They voted on it and the design of the playground is the winner of that vote. For all the family campers that use this park, this is a great addition. The equipment is excellent and the playground is well laid out. The kids can have a great time and when they get sweated up playing on the playground, the beach is real handy. STEVE NORLING PHOTO

Rep. Brooks holds session BY STEVE NORLING Wisconsin State Representative Ed Brooks held a listening session in Necedah on Monday, June 3rd. The number of citizens attending was very small but it was an interesting session. Norm Parker, the President of the area drainage district, questioned Rep. Brooks on how long it should take for the Appellate Court to take up a case. The District lost a case in a county court and appealed the case over two years ago and it has not yet been looked at. The case they lost in effect
eliminated the drainage district. Prior to losing this case, the district had cleaned up all of the ditches and the water was flowing well. After losing the case the ditches are once again filling up with debris and there is standing water on farm fields because of the stopped flow. The drainage district no longer exists and can do nothing about it. They would like their case at the Appellate Court level to be heard so they know where they stand. Rep. Brooks stated that he would look into it and do whatever he could. This reporter questioned

him on the school bill that is being worked on in Madison. Rep. Brooks stated that he believes that there will be a compromise on the bill and there will be an increase in the aid to schools and also that there will be an increase in the school voucher program. He was not certain what it would be as the bill is not yet out of committee. Rep. Brooks also visited Necedah Screw Machine to find out how things are going. After meeting the owners, he was given a very thorough tour of the plant by John Belmonte, one of the owners. Belmonte explained that the work force varied but currently there are about 50 people employed by the plant. Belmonte showed some of the state of the art machinery that is being used in the plant and the many different items that are manufactured there. Some of their business is with other Juneau County businesses and most of their business is for other American manufacturers. He also stated that 90 to 95% of their raw material is made in America. They are bringing all of the plant up to the best twenty-first century standards and Belmonte hopes that the schools and other
companies will cooperate in teaching those students that have an interest in manufacturing the latest methods. Screw Machine has partnered with the Necedah School District and other Juneau County Manufacturers to help this along. Rep. Brooks was very impressed with the machinery and with the explanations that Belmonte provided. They also discussed a little about state regulations and what could be done.

New Lisbon Heritage Fair New Lisbon fourth grade students all participated in the Heritage Fair and in the end three are chosen to represent the school along with other students from the area. The Heritage Fair is a variety of topics about the history of Wisconsin and students may chose one of the items to do a presentation on.
The three students elected to Warrens this year were, Emily Wiese, Cadynce Ready and Megan Froh. The students had to present their presentation twice in the morning then they took a snack break and gave a third presentation before lunch. The Heritage Fair also offers guest speakers and this year
was Jerrod Roll, he brought many props from the Civil War and dressed the part of a civil war soldier. Jerrod shared many stories of the civil war and brought artifacts from the period to share.
Emily did a project on Camp Randall which now is the Badger stadium for sporting events but, it has quite a colorful history behind the 50 acre plot of land sitting in the heart of Madison. The property was the site of the State Fair in the 1800's but, before the Civil War it was a training facility for thousands of soldiers. It was full of soldiers preparing for battle and many were trained right on those grounds. By May of 1861 the grounds were a complete training ground and by 1862, became a prison for many confederate soldiers as well as their final resting ground. The soldiers were buried at a cemetery called "Soliders Rest" on the west side of Madison and is still the most northerly cemetery for Union soldiers.
Caydence did a presentation of "The House on the Rock". The house has many stories behind it and some of them are rather peculiar but, this story is of a man that dreamed of the ultimate bachelor pad. It was the dream of Alex Jordan. He began in 1923 to build this most unusual house. The home was never completed for unknown reasons until his son Alex Jr. decided to complete the home in his dad’s memory. Alex Jr. had a flair for the unusual and took this odd design to a new level. It now houses some very unique pieces and a full carousel inside, the sky walk is a lengthy sideways tower for people to walk out on and look down at the top of the forest canopy.
Megan did a presentation on Volk Field, it is a special place as her father has been in the military for 23 years. Volk Field has not always been known by that name, the original name was called Camp Williams in 1888 and started out to be a rifle range and a state campsite for the National Guard. It was an eight acre parcel of land and in 1889 the governor authorized the purchase of additional land, now it is an 800 acre National Guard and Air Force facility. The name change came in 1957 in memory of 1st Lt. Jerome A. Volk, the first Wisconsin National Guard pilot killed in the Korean conflict.

Seventh graders raise money for Touched Twice Clinic in New Lisbon BY DIANNA ANDERSON The New Lisbon seventh grade class was given the opportunity to contribute in a different way for their Service Learning Day that would really make a difference in their community. Due to the LOAR (Life of a Rocket) program, it was suggested that each class start planning and doing more through out the school year to serve the community. This led to a class project where the seventh and eighth graders in New Lisbon planned for their Service Learning Day. Seventh grade students meet several times to suggest ideas, narrow down organizations, and discuss activities for a fundraiser. Finally it was decided by the students that they would do a bike ride pledge sheet with the money they brought in going to the Touched Twice Clinic which is held as a clinic at New Lisbon Schools in August. Touched Twice is an organization developed by Rhonda Larson with the help of several community members. There are many services made available for local residents on the day of the clinic. School supplies, clothing and more are offered to help support families in need. They rode bikes from Elroy to Hustler and ended the ride by cleaning up brush, working at the cemetery, and picking up trash around the city of Hustler. The seventh grade presented Touched Twice with $947.00 to be used as they see fit for the clinic in August. "Do you know how much this money will help? We can by all the back packs we need with this money. Thank you so much," stated Rhonda Larson. The Touched Twice Clinic will be held at New Lisbon school on August 10th and volunteers are needed. If you would like to help please call Rhonda at 608-547-1783.
Rhonda Larson, founder of the Touched Twice Clinic, accepted the check from the students.
Lyndon Station Fire Chief John Krus resigns BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD On Tuesday volunteers at the Lyndon Station Fire Department awoke to an unexpected text message from their Fire Chief John Krus who announced that as of July 1, 2013, he would no longer be Chief. According to Rob Shields, a former department volunteer, receiving the text message was like a "punch to the stomach." Shields went on to say, "John was dedicated to the job and the community. He put in countless hours of service and mostly on his own time. Including writing for grants and organizing fundraisers. This was sad news but I know there has been a lot of tension between Village President Klicko and the department for the past couple of years."
Sheilds stated that he felt Krus may have resigned after attending a closed session meeting the night before. "I am not sure if it was his choice to resign or if he was forced out. All I know is this news hurts the gut," said Shields. The Messenger contacted both Lyndon Station Village President Dave Klicko and Fire Chief John Krus. Klicko stated that he was unaware of the resignation as the village board had not received any official notice. Klicko did confirm that a closed session meeting had been held Monday evening but he would not go into the details of the meeting other than to say it was over employee matters. Krus confirmed that he did send out the text messages to
his fellow fire fighters stating that he would no longer be the department's chief as of July 1. He went on to state that he had not yet made a final decision on whether or not he will continue on with the department after July 1 as a volunteer. Krus stated that tensions with the village president, Dave Klicko, and what he considered to be micro-managing did in fact prompt his decision to resign as the fire chief. He went on to say that he is preparing a formal letter which will detail the specifics as to why the decision was made. Krus, a City of Mauston Public Works employee, has been with the Lyndon Station Fire Department as a volunteer for 14 years with over five of those years serving as fire chief.
In August of 2011 during a village board meeting tensions between Klicko and Krus first began and accusations of micro managing started.

Necedah man sentenced for child pornography charges in Juneau County BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD In Juneau County Circuit Court last Thursday Judge John Roemer sentenced 56 year old Bradley Carver of Necedah to three years of prison and seven years of extended supervision on five felony counts of possession of child pornography. Dismissed, but read into the record, were 15 other possession charges of child pornography counts. Prosecuting the case was Special Prosecutor Assistant Attorney General David Maas. Maas recommended that Carver receive six years of prison time. Representing Carver was Mauston defense attorney Dan Berkos who requested that his client receive jail time with Hueber privileges. During the sentencing hearing, Maas provided an in-depth description into how law enforcement found child pornography on Carver's laptop, and then into the specifics of what those images and
videos contained. Maas explained that Carver categorized files he attained through a peer-topeer computer program into file sub categories labeled as "Good Pic" and "Triple A." According to Maas an investigator had reported that Carver was one of the most prolific collectors of child pornography he had ever seen. Prosecution went on to state that within a six month period of time Carver had accumulated over 10,000 combined images and videos of child pornography with children as young as one year old forced into sex acts by those making the illegal contraband. Supporting Carver throughout the hearing were members of his family including his son Anthony Carver and brother, Terry Carver who both read statements to the court. Anthony Carver stated that his father was a man of integrity who has raised eight children, all
of which are leading productive lives. Terry Carver, an older brother to Bradley, stated that his brother deserved a second chance. Terry also stated that Carver and the family have already suffered ridicule and loss of income when Bradley lost his job at Mile Bluff Medical Center at the time of his arrest. He went on to say that he was willing to provide a job to Bradley once the court hearings were completed. Bradley Carver, himself, addressed the court stating he apologized for his crime and has had an addiction to child pornography for seven years. Over the years, according to Carver, he made multiple attempts to break from the addiction. However, according to Carver the internet could be compared to cable television making the images too easily attainable. Carver did state that since his initial arrest he had gone through counseling and had not attempted to attain child pornography.
Bradley Carver in court at his sentencing hearing with his defense Attorney Daniel Berkos. Judge John Roemer listened attentively to the three hour sentencing hearing and took into consideration both sides, including a pre-sentencing investigation report conducted by the State of Wisconsin and another report conducted by a company attained by the defense.
In addition to the three years of prison time and seven years of extended supervision, Judge Roemer ordered that Carver was to pay a child pornography surcharge of $500 for each of the 20 charged images for a total of $10,000. He would also need to register as a sex offender.
The charges Carver was arrested and convicted of were the results of an investigation conducted by the Wood County Sheriff's Department.

“The Big Bad Musical” BY TASHA MUELLER Wonewoc-Center Junior High choir members performed “The Big Bad Musical” last Thursday to elementary students and family and friends. The musical was set in a courtroom setting that has never been more hilarious. The Jury (audience members) was able to determine the outcome of the biggest trial in the fairy-tale world. The foreboding Big Bad Wolf (Walker Shore) had been
slapped with a class-action law suit. All of the quirky fairy tale characters banded together to bring this wolf to justice. Mr. Wolf was brought on task right on court television, where Sydney Grimm (Kristine McCann) commentates the whole trial, charging the wolf with eating Red Riding Hood’s grandmother, blowing down the house of the Three Little Pigs and stealing sheep from the Little Boy who Cried Wolf (Eric Condoluci). Calling on the mercy of the court, Mr. Wolf is presented
with his own public defender, Ms. Evil Stepmother (Lesa Holloway). Fairy Godmother ran the bench for the good guys. Mr. Wolf was tenderhearted, but gave a futile defense to acquit him of these heinous crimes. In the end, the audience decided that Mr. Wolf had been dismissed of his charges. Students had a great time putting this musical together with the direction of Mrs. Goodenough.
More hands-on for Wonewoc students Mrs. Miller is the Youth Apprenticeship and School-toWork Coordinator at Wonewoc. Three students expressed interest in one or both of these programs, and so were encouraged to participate in a job shadow in their chosen career path. The benefits of the job shadow program are numerous. Students can see firsthand what an entire day within a particular occupation is like. This can serve to either confirm their goals or to let them know that maybe that particular career is not for them. The job shadow program also allows our students to interact with adults in a professional setting. We are very grateful to the personnel who spend their time working with our students. Lexie Sake and Chelsey Karstetter were both able to job shadow with Eli Yoder from Rolling Hills Veterinary Clinic. Lexie went into the job shadow with an unwavering interest in becoming a large animal vet since 7th grade. After her job shadow, she remains interested in the veterinary field, but is now thinking of becoming a Vet Technician to start with, and
then possibly onto Veterinary Medicine School. Chelsey still has plans of becoming a vet, and is undecided if she wants to focus on large or small animals, or possibly even exotics. Both girls were grateful for the opportunity to spend a day with a licensed veterinarian and learn about a “typical day.” Ashley Ennis was able to spend a day at the Birth Center at the Reedsburg Area Medical Center shadowing several OB nurses. She truly enjoyed her experience, and went into the job shadow leaning toward the OB nursing field, yet undecided of exactly what kind of nurse she wanted to be. Ashley now has a stronger feeling about her future as a nurse, and currently plans to become an Obstetrics Nurse. She said she loved working with the babies and learning about pre and post natal care. Thank you again to RAMC and Rolling Hills Veterinary Clinic for providing these hands-on learning opportunities to our students!

The calendar—and finally, the weather— are saying it’s summertime! Although we envision summer as a time of pure relaxation and fun in the sun, as a parent of two boys I know that the days can quickly fill up with summer rec, swimming lessons, family vacations and more. While it may seem difficult to fit reading time in, studies show that motivating kids to read during the summer is vital to prevent “summer slide,” which can rob students of hard-earned knowledge gained during the school year. To help you encourage your children to read, make sure you stop by the library to sign up for this year’s summer reading program, “Dig Into Reading.” Wonewoc’s pro-
gram is open to all children ages 4-12, with programs and events occurring on Tuesdays from July 9-August 13. Help your kids retain their reading prowess while having fun with all their friends at the library! In addition, this year the Wonewoc Public Library is teaming up with the Green Bay Packers, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and the Edvest College Savings Plan to “Leap Into Reading” this summer! Pick up instructions at the library on how you can enter to win a $1,000 Edvest college savings account plus four tickets to Green Bay Packers Family Night. See you at the library!

Letter to the Editor relations.” (Margaret Crocco, “Women, Suffrage, and the Public Sphere”) The second problem I see with this is simply why should we stop polygamist and other types of marriage? Why does it affect us? Now on to my possible solution, we change the legal definition of marriage. Legalizing gay marriage would do this anyways, so let’s take it a step further. I believe that, in order to be completely fair, we should change it to “a joining of consenting peoples of or over the age of 18 in the eyes of the law.” Or we could always just scrap marriage altogether. Another one I’ve heard is that they shouldn’t be able to get married because they can’t produce offspring, so their marriage is a waste. This argument, in my humble opinion, makes absolutely no sense. By this logic, all impotent people should be legal to marry. All people who made the choice to be rendered impotent shouldn’t be legal. Again, nonsensical in my opinion. So, that is my piece. I fully accept that I could be dead wrong. I am also willing to change my view on the entire issue, if given a reason. So, I ask of you, if you have a reason why two people who love each other should be kept apart, speak now or forever hold your peace. Thank you for reading. Work cited. 1. Crocco, Margaret S. "Women, Suffrage, and the Public Sphere." The Road to the Vote:.
BY GABE BROWN As I’m sure you’re aware, there was a major movement in the 60s to do such a horrible thing as give equal rights to people of a darker skin tone. Why did there need to be a major movement? Because they were different. Homosexuals nowadays are going through the same thing, albeit on a smaller scale. Some would say I’m stretching, and maybe I am, but I still feel it needs to be addressed. One similarity is the lack of a real reason, outside of religion, but I’m avoiding that and trying to stick to provable facts. At least, neither had any good arguments that I’ve read in my research. I want to bring up one of the arguments that came up repeatedly. The “slippery slope” argument, and expansions thereof. For those of you that haven’t heard it said before, allow me to summarize. Legalizing gay marriage will lead to the push for the legalization of polygamy, then incestious marriage, then solution. First, there is simply no evidence that this chain will happen. In fact, this argument has been used in the past with voting rights. I believe that Margaret Crocco best describes the view on the slippery slope of voting equality. “Even among women's rights advocates, giving women suffrage was construed in 1848 as an assault on the traditional family, a slippery slope toward dissolution of the God-given order beastial marriage, then who know what else? I see to problems with this, then one possible of human

BY NANCY J SCHNEIDER Okay help me solve this. I’ve got two dogs. I bought two identical bones. You’d think that would be sufficient to keep everyone happy. However both dogs want the same bone! They are exactly alike yet one dog thinks she should have both bones. The other guy doesn’t like the situation but lets her take it anyway. Then she lays on one and chews on the other. I take it away and give it back to him but as soon as I move out of the way she goes and snatches it back. Two dogs, two bones why can’t it work? The same thing happens when it’s time to play. Two tennis balls, two dogs and they will both insist on the same one. I just don’t get it. And they can completely ignore something until the other one wants it. They can look at it, walk past it and even sit next to it but they don’t want it until the other one does. Then both want it. But if I remember correctly, kids can be about the same as my dogs. Two kids, two toys and each one wants the same one. Both can ignore something until the other one has it. Then the fight is on for ownership. Why is that? Is it simply selfish behavior? Maybe it’s more of a control type thing. “I was here first - it’s mine and I want it - I don’t really want it but I don’t want you to have it either.” I guess sharing is just a hard thing to do. Yet it’s not like I gave something to one dog and not the other. I gave them each something, in fact I gave each of them the same identical thing. In this case it’s a good thing my Spud is not an aggressive dog. If he was Squirt would have a few holes in her. He is larger than she is, and a bit older and definitely could do some damage if he was so inclined. She is constantly taking things away from him. If he has it, she wants it. But I will admit there is a limit. Must be some kind of “doggy telepathy” or something, cause she doesn’t take his Mama Bear. She will look at it but that’s as far as it goes. Truth be told it probably bothers me more than it bothers Spud. He just plods along and takes it for granted that she will get whatever it is he has. Then he simply goes and finds
something else - which she will eventually want. She’s really not a bad dog, she just doesn’t like to share. Not with Spud anyway. I can take things away from her with no trouble. And she doesn’t really steal any of my stuff, except maybe my slippers if she can get away with it. But as soon as I say, “Drop it” she does. I keep thinking there must be a way to train her to share with Spud, or at least let him have some of the things she so covets. I tried taking it away from her and giving it back to Spud but as soon as I turn my back she marches over and snatches it away from him. There are times when things around here are worse than a house full of four year old children. Then again, it’s not quite as noisy as a house full of four year olds. And four year olds will generally take a nap which gives a person a bit of a break. My dogs don’t nap. Sometimes they rest but as soon as they hear the slightest thing they are wide awake. That’s another thing that amazes me. A dog can be sound asleep, but let a little noise wake them and they are instantly alert and on their feet and ready to go. They don’t even need a cup of coffee first. I wonder what that would be like. I will admit at times I think I hear something and can be quite wide eye and alert listening, but it seldom happens when I’ve been sound asleep. Then it better be a pretty big noise and I just may come out of my stupor to wonder what’s going on. If I were to get up to investigate the noise I just may have trouble getting back in bed because Squirt doesn’t like to share the pillow. Once she has it - it’s hers. So until next week I’ll leave you with this NO-nonsense information thing I found very interesting. Dog nose prints are as unique as human fingerprints and can be used to identify them. n Nancy J Schneider is a member of The Wisconsin Regional Writers Association and writes freelance.

Letter to the Editor The 4th Annual Hemp History Week will be held the week of June 3-9. This year is we are celebrating in a way not done for sixty years. In Colorado the first hemp crop has been sown on 60 acres. We are on our way to reviving what was once hailed as a billion dollar industry. The production of hemp has a long and loved history in our state. Wisconsin was once a top producer of this amazingly versatile plant during the first half of the 20th century. Our family farms flourished exporting Hemp. The towns of Ripon, Brandon, and Markesan were the heart of hemp production in our great state. Today in Wisconsin “flourish” is not the adjective anyone uses to describe the condition of our family farms. The DEA has spent the nearly all of the last century and untold trillions convincing the American farmer our government could not possibly allow the cultivation of this plant because law enforcement just cannot tell the difference between crops capable of producing 50,000 consumer goods, in addition to being a nearly a perfect food source and marijuana (Cannabis). It is ironic that the money they are spending to suppress this crop was once printed with the image of its cultivation. The refer madness of old is quickly being drummed out by pure unfettered common sense. Yet we still have a long way to go. This became clear to me last election cycle when Representative Ed Brooks knocked on my door. In his bid to secure my vote he asked what my concerns were. I quickly asked his stance on industrial hemp. His response was text book anti marijuana (Cannabis), “We can’t allow the production because it looks to similar to that other stuff” I rebut “That may be true however considering there is a budget exceeding 2.415 billion dollars one would think some of that money could be allocated to training our law enforcement in differentiating between the two” “Yes” he replies “but is there really a market for hemp?”
Is there really a market for hemp? America is the number one importer of hemp and hemp products. We are the largest importer directly because America is the only industrialized country not capitalizing on hemp production. Hemp is absolutely a contender to save our planet. This statement in not a hyperbole, Hemp biofuel is a carbon neutral product; meaning is will not emit more carbon dioxide than it removes during the growing process. Hemp fuels emit 80% less carbon dioxide & nearly 100% less sulfur dioxide than conventional fuels. One acre of hemp will yield 300 gallons of hempbiofuel. Not only did Mr. Henry Ford design his first Model-T to run on hemp gasoline, he constructed the car from hemp. The car, 'grown from the soil,' had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941. Hemp fuel is biodegradable; meaning oil spills like the 952 barrels of Tar Sands crude oil in Mayflower, Arkansas becomes fertilizer not eco-catastrophes that can never truly be cleaned. Hemp can completely replace any petroleum based products. Imagine an ocean not burdened with plastic garbage gyres the size of Texas. Being both biodegradable and recyclable; Hemp addresses global policies for CO2 reduction and oil dependence. Hempcrete, a concrete made from hemp is energy-efficient, non-toxic and resistant to mold, insects and fire. The material may even have a higher R-value, or thermal resistance, than concrete. Hempcrete can be used for everything from roof installation to flooring to wall construction. It is also a carbon negative material; meaning it traps carbon not allowing it to be released into our environment. Hemp can also replace cotton as the main stay for the fabrics we use every day. The production of hemp is vastly superior to that of cotton. Growing twice as fast as cotton, hemp uses no pesticides and crowds out weeds without herbicides. Cotton
Taking Refuge
An Outdoorsman’s Journal
BY STEVE NORLING First things first; I went out Wednesday morning to check out the Boghaunter Trail. I walked the entire three and one half miles of the main trail and found it to be in good shape except in a couple of marshy areas where the grass has gotten a little high. I walked the three and one half miles in just under an hour, but the thing I want to warn everyone about is the amount of ticks out and about. As you all know I call myself the tick magnet, but today was a new high for even me. In less than one hour I wound up with fourteen ticks. Most were woodticks but there were a couple of deer ticks in the mix. So, if you go out to hike any of the trails, be sure to take precautions and check closely when you get home. Now to the whooping crane watch; while there are no new nests on the refuge itself, a number of pairs seem to be in the act of building some. Our only problem at this time is that due to the late spring and the late start to the nesting season, we do not know if there is enough time for re-nests to produce. There is one bit of good news; a youngster was born to a pair in Marathon County. There is also one active nest off of the refuge. The refuge does not monitor these nests so we have to rely on what information the International Crane Foundation gives us. The biology staff is currently working on the Karner Blue butterfly hatch and count. This will also be about a week late this year as the lupine is still not in full bloom. When I was out I noted that the lupine has begun to bloom and by the time you read this, if the weather cooperates, it should be in full bloom and the Karners should be out and about. I will probably be going out and checking on them by then and will let you know. Private lands biologist Mark Pfost has bee working on a project over in Adams County. It is the Plum Creek Project. Pfost worked with the owner, Timco and with the DNR on the project. The land will be mostly used for timber cutting, but there are open areas where native prairie grasses and forbs are being planted. These are favorites of the Kirtlands Warbler. The Plum Creek area of Adams County is the only known breeding ground for the Kirtlands Warbler in the State of Wisconsin. With our help we can improve the habitat for this bird. Another setback due to the late spring is the controlled burns done on the refuge. The fire crew, which is down to three people this year due to budget constraints, has plans to burn 1500 acres this spring. With very little time left, they are at just over 1000 acres. If the weather does not cooperate, the areas that need burning will have too much green in them and not enough fuel. The crew has also helped Trempeleau burn one hundred acres and Lacrosse burn six acres. Now six acres does not sound like much but it was the first ever burn on a state natural area that lies inside the city limits of Onalaska. The state bike trail also runs through it so there were a lot of logistical items to look at. The land, which is untouched prairie, is also on a thirty to forty degree slope. Chief Fire Officer Dan Laber stated that the crew learned a lot on that small burn. On Wednesday May 29th there were eighty-four first grade students from the Nekoosa schools visiting the refuge. They were split into four groups and made their way around four stations to learn more about the refuge and nature. Each group was led by a staff member or a volunteer. It was a great group of well-behaved youngsters and the only thing that changed in the visitor center was the noise level. One just not expect eightyfour first graders to be quiet. Those of you looking to see whooping cranes, the best place is still the tower and along with that on the same trail, there seem to be quite a few visible from the peninsula. One couple reported that they saw four from the tower and five more from the peninsula. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”
however uses up to 40% of all agricultural pesticides as well as uses 50% more water than hemp. Hemp produces fabrics that can be as soft as silk, or as strong as canvas. Hemp fabric is also warmer, more absorbent, last longer and is heat, mildew, pest, light, and rot resistant, much unlike cotton. Hemp as a food source is just as amazing. No other single plant source has the essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form, nor has the essential fatty acids in as perfect a ratio to meet human nutritional needs. Hemp foods are professed to be worth 100 million dollars. Imagine that windfall to Wisconsin’s economy. In addition to the fuel, fiber, food and construction material, hemp can also produce upwards of 50,000 consumer goods. In the interest of time as well as space in this paper I will not list them all yet you should feel free to use that handy dandy Google toolbar and explore the wonderful world of hemp. It is time to make John Deere Green cool again. Wisconsin can absolutely profit from this versatile plant. We as citizens of this struggling (yet magnificent) state need to rise above the bigotry and ignorance surrounding a plant. It is time. Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, has introduced an amendment, which would remove hemp from the U.S. Federal Controlled Substances Act. House Majority Leader John Boehner Supports ending the federal ban on hemp. Advocates of our farming families as well as those of us who support the rebuilding of our failing economy should be contacting their elected officials, urging them to support the commonsense move of allowing Wisconsin farmers to cultivate a product that we can already legally purchase in stores.

Top Notch Fishing on Green Bay
BY MARK WALTERS Hello friends This weeks adventure was an interesting one and it took place on Green Bay, near Oconto and it was once again an example of how sticking to the plan and being persistent often pays off. Sunday, May 26th High 72, low 54 Lake Links, which is an excellent way to learn about where the fish are, or are not biting, was loaded the last few days with information on an awesome bite-taking place on Green Bay for walleye. That info was all it took for me to decide where this weeks trip would be taking place. My plan was simple, pull my 16-foot boat to a public launch near Oconto and have it rigged for trolling with crankbaits and night crawler harnesses. If the action was good I would fish after dark. I would also fish the next day and hopefully experience some quality walleye fishing. The first death nail in the reality of life came, when I was getting ready to launch my boat and I listened to a fish census worker speaking with some fishermen that were just finishing with a day on the water. Their conversation had to deal with a non-bite taking place and folks let me tell you when the walleye are not feeding on Green Bay, catching them seems to be impossible. I heard this same type of conversation several times and did not let it get me down, as I know that you have to believe, and you have to put in your time when adversity strikes! I started trolling with two crawler harnesses and Flicker Shad and was using a right and left planer board with one line straight back. For the next three hours I did this with nary a hit and while riding out high seas only saw one walleye caught by what was maybe 8-10 other boats on the water. An hour before dark I tried drifting, instead of trolling, and ended up catching a 21-inch walleye that really put a smile on my face. Long after dark, I headed to the landing and spent a night sleeping in the New and Improved “Chevy Hotel!” Monday, May 27th High 70, low 45 I was trolling on the bay by 5:30, and it was close to 7 before I saw another boat. By 9:30, I had not had a hit and I was thinking that there was not a whole lot that I could do turn this trip around. Good luck came my way when one of my lines became snagged and I shut my motor down, reeled in the other two and then unsnagged my rig as I drifted at a rapid pace in a stiff wind. I decided to try drifting with planer boards and just like that everything became perfect in my world. First, a good fish hit my crawler harness that had a float on it. Fighting a large fish in a stiff wind and netting it alone can be a challenge. You can well imagine the smile that came to my face when I landed a 21-inch smallmouth bass (Pigasauras Rex) that I decided should and will live on my living room wall. The Northland crawler harness was put on my line that did not have a board on it and as I was lowering it to the bottom of
the bay it was hit and just like that I had a 22-inch walleye that joined my smallie in the livewell. I was using 1.5-ounce bottom bouncers with an orange and yellow crawler harness and had no luck with the ones that did not have a float on them. Over the next three hours, I had the best walleye fishing that I have ever witnessed in the state of Wisconsin. I limited out and probably could have several times over and am once again convinced that Green Bay is an incredible fishery. Get out there, use the method I described, and keep on fishing if the fish are not biting, like everything else, there gonna eat sooner or later. The smallie is going to look excellent on my wall!

COUPLE DONATES TO SHELTER
John and Barb Navis, of Mauston, have donated $5,000.00 to the Carl W. Nelson Animal Shelter’s (CWNAS) capital campaign. The Navis’ chose to purchase a “Doggie Water Park” from the naming opportunities list that is available to donors to the capital campaign. The shelter has been raising funds since its organization 8 years ago. A 4500 square feet steel building was purchased by the shelter in 2012 for the purpose of converting to a shelter, and construction is in progress. The Navis’ also held a fundraiser for the shelter in 2012 which raised an additional $1,337.00 for the building fund. They are currently planning a 2013 fundraiser. John and Barb Navis say they have been animal lovers their entire lives. John Navis said “We decided to personally donate to the CWNAS effort because we believe in the cause, and we believe it is important to help the pets. We hope the community will support the cause as well.” Pictured above, John and Barb Navis, together with family Bulldogs, Sam and Maggie, and Schnauzer Charlie, present a check to Rosemary Aney, a member of the CWNAS Capital Campaign Committee.
A video game designed by a group of University of Wisconsin-Stout students has been chosen as a finalist in a national collegiate competition. The Entertainment Software Association named the UW-Stout entry, Flash Frozen, as one of its five finalists out of more than 400 entries submitted to the first E3 College Game Competition. Brandy Boothby of Camp Douglas, is majoring in game design and development. Boothby was an artist. Chase Meyers of Necedah, is majoring in applied mathematics and computer science. Meyers was a programmer. The finalists were announced in an ESA news release Wednesday, May 22. ESA, a trade association based in Washington, D.C., represents U.S. video and computer game publishers. The other finalists are from Brigham Young University, University of Chicago, Savannah College of Art and Design and Alamo Colleges – Northwest Vista College. The finalists will display their games at the E3 national trade show June 11-13 in Los Angeles. The show is considered the premier world event for video and computer games, attracting 200 companies and 45,000 attendees. The winner will be announced at the show. "As anyone interested in video games will tell you, E3 is a huge deal. To be able to present at the largest video game industry event in the world is so amazing that it just feels unreal," said Hassan Javaid, of Eau Claire, one of the student designers. Javaid was the lead writer, a level designer and 3D artist for the game. He also produced a five-minute documentary, which can be seen in the "About" section of the game's website, www.flashfrozengame.com. Flash Frozen is a survival horror game. Players are trapped on an iceberg in a haunted, shipwrecked vessel. Players must escape the ship while surviving the harsh, frozen environ-
ment and its many dangers. "One of the things I am most proud of with this game is that we were able to create and establish a mood. That is one of the biggest challenges we faced all year," said Keith Catalano, of Green Bay, the lead artist. Sam Armstrong, of Minneapolis, created the concept for the game and was the lead designer. Josh Herbert, of Onalaska, was the lead programmer. A total of 12 students developed Flash Frozen in the senior 3D Game Design class taught by Diane Christie and Dave Beck. Christie is director of the game design and development undergraduate program; Beck is the program's art coordinator. "It is a remarkable milestone for a game to be in the top five and be created by students from a program that is only four years old," Christie said. Eight of the 12 students who created Flash Frozen are artists and four are programmers. Students in UW-Stout's program can concentrate on art or computer science aspects of video and computer games. "We are extremely pleased with the impressive array of talent demonstrated by the E3 college competition submissions, and our chosen finalists represent the most promising and innovative submissions as determined by our industry veteran judges," said Rich Taylor, senior vice president of communications and industry affairs at ESA. In March, UW-Stout's game design and development program was named one of the top 30 in the U.S. and Canada by Princeton Review. It was the only program in Wisconsin or Minnesota that made the list. Funding to help the 12 students and two professors attend the E3 conference has been provided by UW-Stout Provost's Office; College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics; and Research Services.
