Two die on train tracks in Mauston BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD The loud jolting sound of a train coming to a sudden stop could be heard throughout Mauston early Sunday morning. It was a sound that caused the town's south and north sides to be separated from one another for over five and a half hours. The call to Juneau County Sheriff’s dispatch came in just after midnight. Making the call was Canadian Pacific Railroad notifying law enforcement that the freight train going through Mauston had just struck two individuals. According to sources the impact happened by the intersection of Liberty and Blass behind Marchowsky Park. It would take days before the community learned who had been hit. However, in a matter of just over seven hours from the accident the Mauston Police Department issued a press release stating that two individuals had been struck and killed. It was Monday morning when the first victim was identified as Jessica McQuiston, 19, of rural Mauston. Later that afternoon the second victim was identified as Thomas G. Kratz Jr, 19, of rural Wisconsin

Dells. The release went on to state that an investigation was on-going and that the incident is being investigated as a double suicide. Many in the community shared their heartfelt prayers towards the victims' families and friends. They expressed compassion towards all who responded to the scene, and the railway staff who had no choice but to witness the tragedy as it happened. The question of why echoed throughout the community as people discussed the news. It is a question that may or may not be answered through the Mauston Police Department's investigation. One motivation being considered may be the fact that Kratz had just been released on a signature bond from the Juneau County Jail on four felony charges of Take and Drive a Vehicle without Consent and one misdemeanor charge of Carrying a Concealed Weapon. They were crimes that made news as they were happening within the City of Mauston and as police were investigating who was taking vehicles which had keys left in them. Press releases had been issued notifying the public to keep keys out of ignitions and lock their car doors.

They were also crimes, according to the criminal complaint, that McQuiston had knowledge of and she was at times present when they occurred. When police arrested Kratz a statement was issued to the public from the department and was one which alluded to pending charges for another party. Was the fear of prosecution enough for two young lives to believe they couldn't live to see or is there more to the story? Perhaps the crime was committed by a troubled soul reaching out in all the wrong ways, questioned some community members. According to online court records, Kratz had only one citation of trespass on his record, which occurred earlier this year. The tragedy on the tracks comes just weeks after Juneau County Coroner Kathy Kohutko provided the Juneau County Board of Supervisors with a 2013 summary of the coroner’s office. It was a grim report announcing that in 2013 there had been 10 suicides, and an additional two unnatural deaths that were deemed undetermined. In a recent article on the National Public Radio's website, suicide rates have been climbing steadily

The scene of the accident was secured by authorities near Marchowsky Park. since 2007, a trend that has been seen in the United States and in Europe. According to a 2010 Centers for Disease Control report, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death for Americans. The American Foundation for the Prevention of Suicide states males are four times more likely than females to die by suicide, however females attempt suicide three times as often as males. Risk factors run the gamut from mental health issues, financial stress, to alcohol or substance abuse or dependence, and many more. The key to prevention, according to the organiza-

tion, is paying attention to those around you: A person who is thinking about suicide may say so directly: “I’m going to kill myself.” More commonly, they may say something more indirect: “I just want the pain to end,” or “I can’t see any way out.” However, they warn that often those who reach that point may not vocalize it to others, but may show it in other ways such as losing interest in things, or losing the ability to experience pleasure; becoming socially isolated and withdrawn from friends, family, and others; having the feeling of being a burden to others;

and feeling trapped, desperate, or needing to escape from an intolerable situation. It is recommended that if you or someone you know start seeing these signs or other worrisome signs to seek help. The Juneau County Department of Human Services Provides 24-hour emergency services for emotional and family crises. They can be reached at 608-847-2400 or (emergency) 608-847-6161.

Man charged for Camp Douglas BP robbery BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Last Wednesday, June 11th, the Juneau County Dis-

trict Attorney's office filed a complaint against and arrest warrant for Corin J. Cramer, 39, of Tomah. Cramer is being charged with Armed Robbery and Felony Bail Jumping for the April 9, 2014 Camp Douglas BP robbery. At the time The Messenger went to press, online records through the Wisconsin Vine system show that Cramer is currently in custody of the Monroe County Sheriff's Department Jail. When the incident first occurred, the Juneau County Sheriff's Department issued a press release stating that on April 9th at approximately 1:20 a.m. a white male wearing a ski mask entered and demanded money from the store clerk. The man was armed with a mason's type hammer. He was described to be 5'5" tall with a slight pot belly.

The criminal complaint filed last week states that the clerk had been in the back room doing her nightly cleaning duties. When she exited the back room to the main sales area, the suspect was standing there with a hammer raised above his head. She claims he stated, "I need you up front right now! This isn't a joke!" Once by the register, the suspect had the clerk ring up a sale to open the register to take the cash. He then told her to move to the back room so she wouldn't see which direction he left in. It is alleged that he took between $700 and $1,000. The investigation included reviewing security camera video and issuing a press release with a description and pictures from the video. From that release, the Sheriff's Department received a

Facebook tip from a party who stated the suspect looked like Cramer and the car, that he was believed to be driving, appeared to be the same type of vehicle he had been known to drive. The tip also revealed that around the time of the incident Cramer was allegedly looking to borrow a handgun. On April 16 the Dane County Sheriff's Department contacted the Juneau County Sheriff's Department as the day prior, a TA Travel Center in Dane County had been robbed and they wanted copies for comparison of the security footage from the Camp Douglas BP robbery. After reviewing the evidence, Dane County reported that there were similarities in the suspects footwear. Cramer was interviewed by Juneau County Detective Shaun Goyette on April 28th

at his Tomah residence where he lives with his parents and a brother. Cramer claimed to have nothing to do with the robbery, and that he did not leave the house much. Cramer told the detective that he was on disability due to a broken back sustained from a snowmobile crash and that he walks with a limp. Upon leaving the residence Goyette stated he noted a pair of shoes by the door that matched the description of the suspect's the night of the robbery. Cramer told the detective the shoes did not belong to him but rather his father. The investigation continued and on May 13th a clerk at the BP informed Det. Goyette that they believed the suspect had recently been in the store and he was captured on the security camera. A review of the footage led to

the identification of Cramer. A search warrant was issued on May 14th for Cramer's residence and vehicles belonging to his family members. The search was conducted and items were recovered including Green Bay Packer gloves, a black ski mask, gray and black slip-on shoes, clothing, receipts, a letter from a loan company, and syringes. Following the search warrant being served, Det. Goyette carried out an in depth investigation which included many interviews with people close to Cramer, including some in Dane County. Phone records were reviewed and additional search warrants were carried out. Cramer does have a criminal history including prior drug charges and eluding an officer.

The charge against Gropp was filed in Friday, June 13, along with a warrant for his arrest. Gropp is currently in custody in Phoenix, Arizona on another burglary charge. According to the criminal complaint on March 31, 2014 law enforcement became aware of an alleged theft of railroad signal equipment in the Mauston and New Lisbon area. At the time Juneau County Sheriff Detective Shaun Goyette noted that a vehicle was impounded for another active burglary case and it contained two aluminum signal cases.

Mauston Legion celebrates Flag Day BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD This past Saturday was Flag Day which also meant a special Family Fun Day at the Legion Hall in Mauston. The event began mid-morning and ran throughout the afternoon with plenty of activities honoring the day for every member of the family. The day started off with an opening ceremony honoring the American Flag. The special day was dedicated in the memory of Joyce Martin who, according the members of the Auxiliary, was a long-

time member who worked tirelessly volunteering her efforts and talents. She gave of herself and her time to the Auxiliary, the Mauston Food Pantry and her church. She was a gifted cook and gardener as well as an avid Badger and Packer fan. The Mauston Community Choir was on hand and provided some beautiful music for all who attended. After the ceremony, families could partake any of the many planned activities including bingo, bean bag toss, face painting, minnow races, cupcake decorating, raffles,

and a horseshoe tournament. There was a 50/50 raffle as well as themed baskets up for raffle. All the baskets were created in a theme of one of Martin's many interests. For those looking to take home some delectable sweets, there was a bake sale. The day ended with a lesson on how to legally retire and honor a worn or tattered flag. Proceeds from the Flag Day Family Fun Day event will be used for college and Badger Girls State scholarships - and to help veterans and active military.

Delegation members from Kazakhstan through Open World’s Leadership Development Program are in town and attended the Flag Day event with one of the host families.

Veterans stand at attention during the opening Flag Day ceremony at the Mauston Legion's Family Fun Day event.

Royall Board approves Tobacco-Free District Policy BY TASHA MUELLER In an earlier regular meeting date, the Royall School board members approved a Tobacco-Free Policy. The school board is dedicated to providing a healthy, comfortable, and productive environment for students, staff and visitors. A tobacco-free school prohibits all tobacco use anytime, anywhere by anyone on all school property, and at all school-sponsored events. School property includes buildings, grounds, and vehicles owned or leased by the school. Schoolsponsored events include sporting events, school dances, and other events held on all school property.

It is the intention of the district to maintain a tobacco-free environment. School employees, students, and members of the public shall be notified of this policy through students and staff handbooks, school newsletters, and posted notices at all school entrances and other locations on school premises. Additional approvals included: the hiring of Haylee Udelhofen for third grade teacher; the hiring of Danielle Hopkins for Elementary Physical Education; the hiring of Ed Karwacki as Director of Technology; the contract extension for Ruth Witt as the Pep Grant Coordinator; and all summer school contracts.

Further discussion was had on capital improvements for the district, noting which projects would be seeing top priority. The board discussed the possibility of moving forward with a referendum in April 2015 to exceed the state-imposed revenue caps during the regular May meeting. The board may move forward with an energy-exemption program, which does not require voter approval. Both options would be used to fund capital improvement projects, with the top priority being a new roof on the buildings. The Royall School Board will not meet on June 23. Its next meeting will be July 7 at 6 p.m.

Laxton receives termination without cause BY TASHA MUELLER Stemming from recent special Kendall Village Board meetings, a decision was finally made regarding the termination without cause to Marshal Rich Laxton. In the May 8 special board meeting, the board suspended Marshal Laxton, citing a pending court case in which charges have not been filed and whose details were not disclosed. At the special board meeting on June 3, the Kendall Village Board terminated Marshal Rich Laxton with an official recording decision as “without cause.” Laxton has also been suspended from his position with the Monroe County 911

Communication Center. The board will continue to pay Laxton’s salary and benefits for 60 days, and will discuss a replacement at its July meeting. In other business, the village will receive a $32,000 grant from USDA Rural Development to begin DNR-required reports on the 40-year-old wastewater treatment plant. The sewer plant will cost $36,000 in engineering fees, and will focus on the village’s long-term needs. New changes to the phosphorus levels in the plant’s water stream will be seeing new rule changes. The current plant would be unable to accommodate the rule changes.

Vendors Wanted! Thrift, Crafts, Antiques

NEW Store Opening Soon in Union Center! Call for more information 608-462-4402

Options will be further discussed, such as constructing a new plant or sharing a wastewater service with a neighboring municipality. The Spring Street project is ahead of schedule and will be finished on or before the August deadline. The board agreed to reconstruct a section of Thayer Street that runs from George Street to Spring Street. The $36,000 project, which will also include a rerouting of the water main along the street, will be added to the reconstruction project

and will be included in the deadline. Possible grants will be sought to pay for the extra project. Madeline Dougherty was hired as summer help in the village office, paying her $8.50 per hour for 16 hours per week. New garbage bags will be available soon, with 10 bags in one bundle, sold for $10.

WiFi at Riverside possible next year BY BETTY WAITS During the two hour meeting of the New Lisbon City Council Monday evening the possibility of providing WiFi to campers at Riverside Park was a well discussed issue. Brent Olson from Lemonweir Valley Telcom presented some possibilities to the council. “You have a few different revenue streams that could come from installing the equipment and providing the WiFi at the park,” he explained. One possibility was to charge a fee to campers and annual campers to access the service and to also offer the service to resident campers for a fee. Olson explained that the original equipment would cost $2,300 to install with a monthly fee of $200 thereafter. Some concerns and questions were voiced by council members including the number of campers it would take per month to make that $200 fee worthwhile as well as the payment of the installation. However, other council members did think it would be a good way to market the campground and that it would pay for itself over time. After much discussion, the council decided to table the subject and continue looking into all options for next year, but it would not be available this year. Approval of the annual donation to the EAA Chapter 1365 for the Fly-In was approved unanimously. The board heard interest in an Amish family that would like to sell goods at Riverside Park on occasion, but clerk Lisa Vinz explained that the board would need to approve it as there is currently an ordinance banning horses and carriages in the park. It was explained that a family does already stop at the New Lisbon Travel Mart and it would just be a quick stop into the park. After a short discussion the board unanimously approved the item. Discussion and approval of further research into upcoming alley maintenance in residential areas will have the board revisiting the issue to see what method would be the best. After hearing a few different options of how to resurface the alleys, Mayor Lloyd Chase encouraged council members to go witness for themselves what each alley looked like. The council approved to an agreement with MSA to have a specialist visit the property on the interstate that was the former truck stop for $2,500. This would provide the council with information on how much land is useable of the 12 1/2 acre plot. Formerly, only about six acres of the land was used and the city hopes to be able to utilize more. A motion was voted down, three to two, to hire Kim Jensen as New Lisbon Park Assistant Manager at this time. Some council had concerns about her being certified as a lifeguard if the need arose for her to stand in for that position. The council will visit further discussion on the position of assistant manager.

Dog Days!

New Lisbon Memorial Library news BY DEANNA LAUFENBERG DIRECTOR At times, I am asked questions and rather than explain it to one or two individuals I will be writing an article on the subject. Perhaps other people have wondered the same thing but haven’t asked. Some have laughed when I bring up the subject of confidentiality at the library and our strict policies. This is why we do it. Have you ever been the victim of a false rumor or gossip? If you haven’t, consider yourself very fortunate. I have, and it is painful, humiliating and emotionally draining. Let me make up a fictional situation. We have someone working the counter of the library and books are either checked out or ordered from

another library in the Winding Rivers Library System. The patron has reserved a title called “Your Face Lift and What to Expect ”. What if the person checking out your items did not follow confidentiality practices. But instead began to speak publicly about your reading habits. You eventually begin to notice people are looking at you strangely, avoiding you all together or asking strange sarcastic questions. Then, you get a visit from a concerned friend or relative. They tell you that their neighbor asked about you and was it true, you were expecting another baby. Then you both laugh and then reality sets in. How will this effect my life? How is it possible to stop that rumor? When all you are doing is taking an online class on psychology and have a research

paper due. Hope that helps if anyone else had this same question. With the school year at an end we have been focusing our programming with the Pre-K through 5th grade classes about the importance of reading during the summer months.15 minutes a day is all it takes to keep you at your currant reading level. If your kids don’t practice they will fall behind as they enter the following year. This is why we provide a Summer Reading Program starting in July and ending in August. We have lots of fun activities planned. A schedule was sent home with your children during the last week of school and we look forward to serving you and your summer reading adventures. For more information on the events go to our website at

www.newlisbonlibrary.org. Join us on Facebook or call 608-562-3213.

A Juneau County Jail inmate who had Huber privileges, Cassandra A. Porzel, 28, is accused of bringing Methadone into the Juneau County Jail and delivering it to another inmate. Last week the Juneau County District Attorney's office filed charges against Porzel of delivery of a schedule II narcotic, and possession of narcotic drugs. According to the criminal complaint on May 29, 2014 Lt. Teig Hoag of the Juneau County Sheriff's Department was informed by a nurse that a female inmate had tested positive for the presence of Methadone in her urine. Through an investigation that inmate, Amanda Fischer, implicated Porzel as the party who brought drugs into their unit within the Juneau County Jail. During an interview with Porzel she admitted to receiving drugs while at work at Taco Bell in Mauston and while she was on Huber privileges. The criminal complaint states the drugs were delivered to her by Amanda's boyfriend and that she concealed the drugs to re-enter

Cassandra A. Porzel the jail by placing them in a plastic bag and inserting it into her vagina. She claimed the bag contained three pills which, once back in her unit, she and Amanda crushed them and then took turns snorting them in the bathroom. Porzel went on to claim that she snorted one pill, and Amanda inhaled the other two. Porzel was placed into Administrative Segregation and her Huber privilege was denied. In July of 2012, just less than two weeks after entering into a plea agreement and being sentenced to two years

withheld and placed on probation and AODA treatment on three charges of child neglect and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia, the then 26 year old Cassandra Porzel was back in front of Juneau County Circuit Court Judge John Roemer on a charge of felony bail jumping for being under the influence of drugs during a meeting with the Juneau County Department of Human Services. Porzel is scheduled for a July 9, 2014 initial appearance before Judge John Roemer.

Cesky Den 32 years

Charlene Darcy recently passed due to cancer, and to help raise awareness for her and all the other members of the community that have passed, the H.O.P.E. foundation contacted Nolan Hammer to build a gazebo in her honor. Hammer will be looking towards achieving the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. Darcy had been a vital part with H.O.P.E., as she organized many fundraising efforts for the annual event. The gazebo would be placed in the Haller/Klopfeisch Memorial Park in Hillsboro. The project will fall in line with the City of Hillsboro’s plan to extend the bike trail into the park area.

2014 Cesky Den Royalties were crowned during the Opening Ceremonies of the 32nd annual festival.

Mile Bluff employee charged with theft of narcotics BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Last Thursday a Necedah woman was arrested for theft of drugs from Mile Bluff Medical Center. On Friday Nicole L. Ladwig, 36, was charged in Juneau County Circuit Court with possession of narcotic drugs and misdemeanor theft. At a bond hearing before Judge John Roemer, Ladwig was placed on a $1,000 signature bond with conditions that she not use, possess, or consume any controlled substances with-

out a valid prescription. According to the criminal complaint, on June 11th Mauston Police officer Michael Sturek responded to a call from Mile Bluff Medical Center Human Resources Department that an employee had taken a syringe containing Morphine, and concealed it in her bra when leaving work at the end of her shift. That employee was alleged to be Ladwig. Officer Sturek was then informed that the medical center would be terminating Ladwig's em-

ployment. Through the course of an investigation Sturek spoke with personnel at the medical center who reported that the syringe had been laying at a work station and was in the process of being labeled when it was discovered missing. Security video revealed Ladwig taking the syringe. Staff at the hospital, at that point, had not confronted Ladwig about the incident. Human Resources reported they would be addressing it with her the next day when

Nicole L. Ladwig she returned to work, and at

which point she would be terminated. Officer Sturek and Lt. Michael Zilisch were waiting at the center the following day for Ladwig to return to work. After she was terminated they issued Ladwig her rights and she agreed to be interviewed. The criminal complaint goes on to state that she admitted to taking the syringe but threw it out her car window on her way home from Mauston to Necedah near the Cedar Springs gas station.

She reportedly stated that she took the syringe in a effort to relieve the emotional pain from a divorce she was going through. The officers took Ladwig to the location where she stated she had thrown the syringe, however, after a search they were unable to locate it. She was then transported to the Juneau County Jail for booking. Ladwig is scheduled for July 23, 2014 initial appearance before Judge Paul Curran.

Mauston woman charged with drugs BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD A Mauston woman, Patricia C. Harris is facing multiple drug charges for an incident that occurred on March 21, 2014. Last Thursday the Juneau County District Attorney's office filed charges of possession of narcotics, possession of THC, possession of drug paraphernalia and disorderly conduct against the 32 year old Harris. According to the criminal complaint on March 21 Officer Adam Noe of the Mauston Police Department responded to a call on Division Street for a female subject who was grabbing knives and yelling. Upon arrival the officer made contact with a male subject who was identified later as William E. Parrish. Parrish told the officer that Harris had a

knife but he was able to get away from her. The officer noted that Parrish had been sweating profusely. The officer made contact with Harris who at the time was crying and stated that she and Parrish had been fighting. She claimed that Parrish had hit her, bent her arm, and hurt her shoulder. She also claimed that Parrish had hit her in the lip area. The criminal complaint states that the officer observed no visual signs of injury to Harris's shoulder but did observe what appeared to be dried blood on her lip, however there was no bleeding nor swelling or bruising. The Mauston Ambulance service then arrived on the scene to evaluate both Harris and Parrish. The officer received permission from Harris to search her

Mauston store receives bomb threat BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD On Monday afternoon just after 1:00 p.m. the Dollar General store in Mauston on N. Union St. received a bomb threat from an unidentified male caller. Mauston Police Chief Mark Messer stated that his department, the Juneau County Sheriff Department, Mauston Fire, and the Wisconsin DNR responded to the call. "The perimeter was secured, the store was evacuated and notice was given to nearby businesses that there had been a bomb threat near their location. The notice was given so that those other businesses could make a decision to evacuate as they saw fit," stated Chief Messer. "We attempted to attain a specialized trained bomb sniffing canine from the Wisconsin State Patrol however he was unavailable," he said. Chief Messer went on to state that in Wisconsin there is only one canine unit with such specialized training. "We searched the property and did not find anything suspicious. We explained that to the store and told them that it was up to them if they wanted to re-open. The store opened again at approximately 2:30," he said. The incident remains under investigation.

bedroom. The complaint states that Harris was extremely upset and worried about her "babies" being taken away from her. While he searched her room a Juneau County Deputy interviewed Parrish on what had happened. Parrish told the deputy that Harris and he were in a verbal argument when Harris went into the bathroom and came out with a spoon and needle in her hands; "She went crazy and was saying some weird sh*t, pardon my language. She went in the kitchen yelling and grabbed a knife," the criminal complaint

states Parrish said. Parrish went on to state that a friend restrained her to get the knife away. The male friend was on the scene and confirmed what Parrish had stated. Parrish also stated that Harris had cut her arm the day before, and believed it to be a suicide attempt. Upon searching the room, law enforcement found items including 3 spoons containing residue, 5 medical needles with orange caps, a substance that tested positive for heroin via a field test kit, a metal pipe that

Behn to be featured at Hillsboro Public Library Drop-in BY TASHA MUELLER A new young adult fiction novel has recently been added to bookshelves across the county, written by a first time author from Hillsboro. Brea Behn, a former Hillsboro High School student, will discuss her first published novel, Wolves in the Woods, and provide insight into the world of twenty-first century publishing at the Hillsboro Public Library “Drop-In” on Thursday, June 19th beginning at 6:30 p.m. While attending the event, you’ll understand the story a little more thoroughly, being introduced to Braelin, a young woman in the year 2056, whose life is soon changed forever by a virus known as C47 that wipes out much of the world, including her parents and twin sibling. Once realizing she’ll be alone in the world forever, Braelin

is forced to learn to take care of herself. By fate and good luck, she stumbles across a sanctuary hidden deep in the woods of Wisconsin. She learns the hardest lessons, including survival, while traveling the woods. Along the way she meets two brothers, Timber and Aravon. Timber is the leader of the gang known as the Wolves, who will do anything to survive. Aravon is the younger brother trying to keep his older brother in line. Both bothers fall hard for Braelin. Wolves in the Woods is full of suspense, passion and excitement, as Braelin fights for her life and love until the very end. A trailer for the novel can be viewed on YouTube, at: http://youtu.be/962KV_vwl_g or by searching “Wolves in the Woods trailer.” Behn is very passionate about reading and writing in all genres. She started writing at the age of fifteen, when she wrote a

memoir for her twin brother. Currently, she writes fiction of several genres, nonfiction, and is building her career as an author and public speaker. When Behn is not writing, she is reading, usually several books at the same time. She also volunteers at her local church, gardens, and home-schools her children. Brea lives in Portage, Wisconsin with her husband and their two children. At the drop-in event, Behn will speak on how exactly she got started with writing, to how Wolves in the Woods came to be, and will read a few sections from her new novel. She will additionally be on hand to sign copies. Admission is free for the event, and the Friends of the Hillsboro Public Library will serve light refreshments. For more information, please contact Library Director Debra Lambert at 489-2192.

LCP Acquires Wisconsin’s The Messenger of Juneau County forward to additional acquisitions, including three additional newspapers which are under letter of intent and a pipeline of other potential deals. “We are happy to add Betty and Dianna to our group of community newspaper leaders,” Schoen said. “Lewis County Press takes on the hassles of newspaper production – the technology, the billing, the subscription management – and we count on the local newspaper leaders to deliver the special sauce of community news and advertising.” About Lewis County Press, LLC Lewis County Press, headquartered in LaGrange, MO, is the parent of the DeWitt EraEnterprise, Arkansas County, AR; The Lamar Democrat, Barton County, MO; The Messenger of Juneau County, Juneau County, WI; the Press-News Journal, Lewis County, MO; the Home Press, Macon County, MO; the Monroe County Appeal, Monroe County, MO; and the Ralls County Herald-Enterprise, Ralls County, MO. Our mission is to strengthen communities by delivering proprietary local news and editorial supported by advertising and subscriptions.

Lewis County Press, LLC, announces the acquisition of The Messenger of Juneau County, a weekly newspaper located in central Wisconsin, approximately 90 miles northwest of Madison. The Messenger is Lewis County Press’ 7th newspaper acquisition in the past three years; the company continues to seek additional papers to expand its portfolio of rural, subscriber-based weekly newspapers. Betty Waits and Dianna Anderson, the former owners, will continue to lead The Messenger as Co-Editors and Co-Publishers. They plan to continue the paper’s focus on community journalism and local advertisers and will be introducing a strong web presence for Juneau County residents. “Dianna and I are excited be part of a growing group of community-focused newspapers who have invested in the technology needed for us to marry our small town news with residents who are local information consumers of print, mobile, and high-speed internet,” Waits, one of the three original founders of the paper, said.

Safe Storage As a firearm owner, it is your responsibility to ensure that guns in your home are always stored where they are inaccessible to children or other unauthorized persons. Hiding a gun in a closet, drawer or similar location is not safe storage. Safe storage is employing precautions and multiple safeguards that provide an additional barrier against unauthorized use. • Unloaded firearms should be stored in a locked cabinet, safe, gun vault or storage case. The storage location should be inaccessible to children. • Gun locking devices render firearms inoperable and can be used in addition to locked storage. If firearms are disassembled, parts should be securely stored in separate locations. • Ammunition should be stored in a locked location separate from firearms. • Thoroughly double check firearms to confirm that they are unloaded when you remove them from storage. Accidents could occur if a family member borrows a gun and returns it to storage while still loaded. For more information on Project ChildSafe you can visit their website at www. projectchildsafe.org. For additional questions contact the Juneau County Sheriff’s Office or your local law enforcement agency.

JCEDC hires new staff member The Juneau County Economic Development Corporation (JCEDC) is pleased to announce the hiring of its newest staff member. Tamaya Oldenhoff, a native of Wisconsin, brings a wealth of leadership and business development experience back home after 20 years in the Greater Boston Area. After completing her undergraduate studies at Boston College, Tamaya became an entrepreneur starting her own business in the holistic healthcare industry. Later Tamaya returned to school and completed her Master’s Degree in Business Administration (Endicott College, Beverly, MA), focusing on Leadership Development and Human Resources. She also became certified as a Professional in Human Resource Management (PHR) with the international Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). JCEDC’s Executive Director, Terry Whipple, and its Administrator, Sandra Morris, recently recruited Tamaya to work alongside them in serving Juneau County’s overall economic

growth. One of her primary initiatives will be to strengthen the county’s tourism and retail industries and help to prepare them for the influx of people resulting from the activities at the Woodside Sports Complex. By strengthening the retail sector, the county will gain much in the way of increased sales tax revenues. Tamaya will continue to work concurrently managing the New Lisbon Area Chamber of Commerce. “This is an exciting time for Juneau County. There is a lot of opportunity out there for our tourism and retail businesses considering the recent addition of the Woodside Sports Complex. I predict Juneau County will see a lot of further growth in the tourism industry, bringing additional dollars to the County,” states Whipple, “This is one of the most important reasons why we felt it necessary to bring on someone with Tamaya’s skills.” Morris adds “We’re thrilled to have Tamaya on board and we know that her diversity of experience will only fortify JCEDC’s mission to serve and enrich Juneau County.”

Community members help save lives CONTRIBUTED BY MILEBLUFF Approximately 39,000 units of blood are needed in hospitals across the country every day. To help meet these demands, Mile Bluff Medical Center in Mauston recently hosted a community blood drive on May 30 and June 2. The event was a partnership between the medical center and the Blood Center of Wisconsin - the only supplier of blood to Mile Bluff. At the drive a total of 108 area residents came to Mile Bluff to make a donation. From these individuals, 86 units of whole blood, eight units of double red cells, and one unit of platelets were collected. Each of these donations can help improve the lives of up to three people in need. That means that the donations from this event alone will have the potential to impact over 250 individuals!

In addition to the donors, blood drive organizers would like to thank Mile Bluff’s Food and Nutrition Department for providing refreshments, Eastern Star for volunteering to serve the food, the staff from the Blood Center of Wisconsin in Marshfield for making a trip to Mauston, and everyone else that helped get the word out about the event. If you missed this most recent opportunity to make an impact on the local blood supply, Mile Bluff will be holding another drive on Wednesday, July 30 and Friday, August 1 from 9 am to 1 pm both days. If you choose to donate, you will have the opportunity to make a whole blood, double red or platelet donation. If you would like more information on the upcoming event, or would like to sign up to make a donation, please contact the Blood Center of Wisconsin toll-free at 1888-310-7555.

Taking Refuge

An Outdoorsman’s Journal

BY STEVE NORLING Summer has finally come and things are moving along at the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge. By the time you read this the new YCC crew will have put in about a week. The four youngsters and their leader started on Monday, June 16th. They will be working getting many of the things done that the small staff does not have time for but really need doing. So, if you are out on the refuge and see a crew of young people working you will know that they are doing and learning. Besides doing the physical work these youngsters get five hours per week of environmental and ecological education. The YCC program is a great way for youngsters to decide whether they want to continue in the field. One of this year’s interns was a YCC worker last year. Kate Carpenter is now in college and is working this summer as an intern. Her summer as a YCC employee made her sure of what she wanted to do. That is part of the whole reason that the YCC program was started. Many of you will remember the Ellen Allen classroom that stood near the old headquarters building. As you may know that building has been torn down. If you look at the site right now you will see piles of dirt. The area is being worked on to turn it in to a “Nature Discovery Area.” This will be a family friendly discovery area and will be rededicated in the name of Ellen Allen. Another thing that is being worked on at the refuge is the butterfly garden. There is much to be done to the area and help is needed. If you are an avid gardener and like butterflies, you might want to volunteer to assist with the work. There is planting and many other tasks that need doing. The butterfly garden is located near the new outdoor classroom for anyone that wants to look for it. This will be a beautiful are when it is finished so come on out and be part of it. Some of the other things that are going on at the refuge are biologist Brad Strobel and his interns are not only keeping track of the cranes but they are studying the vegetation surveys that have been done in the last twenty years. Once they come up with the area, which was surveyed, they try to pinpoint the area and check it to see what the vegetation looks like at this time. They want to find out how much the vegetation has changed and whether it is still what the refuge wants there. There is always the possibility that invasive species have invaded the area or something else has changed the makeup of the refuge. The idea is to keep the refuge as natural to what it was years ago, thus the constant checking. Another thing that Strobel is working on is the upcoming Karner Blue butterfly count, which is coming up in late July and early August. There will be many volunteers helping this year. If you have not signed up yet, you have until June 22nd to email brad_strobel@fws.gov. Pool two has been drained for growth of water plants. This is done to pools every few years to aid the growth of the underwater plants that the wildlife need to survive during their migration. The pool is drained and when the plant life at the bottom of the pool gets to a certain height the pool is refilled. The refilling of the pool will take place before the fall migration begins so the waterfowl will have a ready food supply when they stop. Fishing opened on Goose and Sprague Pools as of June 1st. These are the best pools for catching northerns. Fishing is allowed along the road between the pools and off the dock on Goose Pool. Non-motorized boats, canoes and kayaks are also allowed on these two pools. There are also two areas where there is parking along the south edge of Sprague Pool. Remember, these northerns are the predators that are needed to keep the small fish under control. Do some catch and release fishing and take some but put most back. We need to improve the fishing on the refuge and this is one way to do it. While you are out and about on the refuge watch for whitetail fawns, turkey poults, and the young of many waterfowl. This is the time of many births in the wild. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”

108 individuals that came to the recent blood drive at Mile Bluff Medical Center in Mauston.

A Night on Winnebago BY MARK WALTERS Hello friends, Lake Winnebago is by far Wisconsin’s largest inland lake. I have very little fishing experience on Winnebago and have been hearing some excellent reports on a hot walleye bite. This past week I took my golden retriever “Fire” and kitten “Popcorn” on a 24-hour experience living in my boat and attempting to put some fish in the livewell Wednesday, June 3rd High 89, low 52 You’re pulling a 16-foot boat that you intend on sleeping in, to a lake that you have no fishing experience on. Your plan is to sleep in that boat and so you have to have a gear plan as well as where am I going to launch my boat, how am I going to fish and where am I going to fish. O’yeah, also where can I leave my truck parked overnight. I knew I would troll with cranbaits and possibly crawler harnesses. I purchased a lake map and was told that Long Point Reef which is maybe 4-miles southeast of Oshkosh would be a good area to try my luck. Next I drove to Black Wolf public boat launch, which was absolutely packed with fishermen coming and going fishing. I talked to a couple of old timers that had just finished a day of fishing and they showed me a nice looking cooler of 13-17 inch walleye (no size limit on Winnebago). These guys who were very helpful told me to use slip bobbers and half a crawler. There was one problem and that was overnight parking is not allowed at Black Wolf landing. I was told about a private campground and launch called Kalbus Campground where I could park over night and that was probably my tip of the trip. I would describe Kalbus as peaceful and well managed and if I were to camp on Winnebago I would stay there. After loading my 16-foot MirroCraft with everything but the kitchen sink I headed out to Long Tail Reef with visions of some awesome fishing and a great night on the water. All I had to do to find Long Tail Point was head east and look for the flotilla of boats whose occupants were either slip bobbering and anchored or trolling. My plan was to set three lines before I hit my destination with a left and a right planer board and one straight back. I would be using crankbaits and the hottie for this trip would be a “clown” Flicker Shad. I was setting my second line under perfectly sunny and windless conditions when something hit the clown and soon after I landed a striped bass which promptly went into the livewell, I was setting my third line when the clown got gobbled up again and I landed a 14-inch walleye which I let go because I am way to cool to keep a walleye under 15-inches.”mistake”. There was maybe 15-boats whose occupants were anchored and slip bobbering and 10 who were trolling. A slight breeze began and I started trolling around and amongst the fishermen that were anchored as they were working the reef and that is where the fish were. I was catching fish and it was a constant challenge to land fish and reset my line and stay out of the way of other trollers and not get to close to my comrades who were anchored (so much easier to have 2 people in the boat when trolling). About six this evening a light switch was flicked to off and the constant action became reduced by 90 percent and the rest of my daylight hours was a boat ride, which was done in what became a solid wind.

At dark I became the last fisherman on Winnebago and I anchored on Long Tail Reef and began fishing and the action was immediate with one problem. It was so windy that my anchors would not hold and soon I was off the reef did not care and when the anchors held I was watching the stars and snuggled in my sleeping bag on the boat floor with a kitten on my chest and a golden retriever laying beside me. When the sun started poking up on the eastern horizon I was indeed the first man on the water (because I never left the water) and I began trolling and watched as Long Tail Reef pulled in one heck of a bunch of hopeful fishermen. About ten a.m. that light switch was flipped back on and I had a blast as my crew of Popcorn and Fire watched and mostly slept. By the time I called her quits at 1:00 I had a cooler full of crappie, walleye, and striped bass. Living in the boat and fishing Winnebago was a positive experience! Sunset

Mauston has its own sourdough

BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Is Mauston on it's way to becoming the sourdough bread capital of the Midwest? That is a question which only time will tell as now available at Beyond the Daily Grind Cafe & Coffee is a sourdough bread who owes it's start to the fields surrounding Mauston. In January of this year a new chef, Duane Doyle, entered the kitchen of the cafe and with him came his talents to produce artisan breads. Doyle, who is originally from Kenosha, has a long history of sharing his culinary talents that have stretched as far as Laughlin, Nevada. Family brought him to this

area and soon after, he was hired on at the cafe. It was then that Doyle began a batch of yeast starter to create that unique flavor only a good loaf of sourdough has. The yeast used grows wild in the area making the bread Doyle creates from it exclusive to Mauston. In addition to sourdough, Doyle also kneads and bakes up some crusty white and wheat loaves. Beyond the Daily Grind prides itself on using no preservatives in their baked goods and taking advantage of local suppliers for most of their ingredients in their menu items. Doyle stated that he looks forward to taking advantage of the farmer's market across the street from the cafe.

Wednesdays and Saturdays are currently the days when the fresh made loaves of bread are available for purchase at the cafe. A loaf of sourdough is $8 while the white and wheat loaves run $6. Patrons are encouraged to place orders for pick up, however, there is a small inventory of bread for sale on those days. Orders can be placed by stopping in at the cafe located at 241 E State St. You can reach them by phone at (608) 847-6368 or via email to beyondthedailygrind@gmail.com. The cafe is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Look to their Facebook page for updates and specials.

Duane Doyle is the new chef and baker of artisan breads at Beyond the Daily Grind in Mauston. A sourdough bread made without preservatives and wild yeast collected locally is just one of his specialties.

Same-sex marriages on hold in Wisconsin BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Last Friday Juneau County Clerk, Kathleen Kobylski, stated that her office would continue to offer same-sex marriage licenses unless U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb ruled otherwise. Kobylski acknowledged that she was aware that earlier in the week Wisconsin Attorney General J. B. Van Hollen had issued a statement warning that county clerks may face charges from local district attorneys for breaking the law by issuing the licenses. By Friday evening, Kobylski and other Wisconsin county clerks no longer had to worry about their decision

to issue licenses as Judge Crabb ordered Wisconsin same-sex marriages to stop while the case is on appeal. It was just over a week ago that Judge Crabb ruled Wisconsin's ban on same-sex marriages was unconstitutional. The case is currently moving through an appeal process and Van Hollen motioned the court for a stay on same-sex marriages until that process has been realized. In her decision to place a stay on same-sex marriages Judge Crabb wrote: After seeing the expressions of joy on the faces of so many newly wedded couples featured in media reports, I find it difficult to impose a stay on the event that is responsible for

eliciting that emotion, even if the stay is only temporary. Same-sex couples have waited many years to receive equal treatment under the law, so it is understandable that they do not want to wait any longer. It was also on Friday that Van Hollen, prior to the stay imposed by Judge Crabb, sent out an email to Wisconsin district attorneys recommending not to prosecute county clerks for issuing same-sex marriage licenses. The email talked about his interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. In it, he stated a reporter questioned him about the possibility of charging county clerks with a crime

for issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. He acknowledged saying they could be, but clarified, “it would be very fact specific and up to individual District Attorneys.” Van Hollen stated that he would not encourage prosecutors to file charges in those cases and that his office does not intend to investigate or file charges against any

county officer. After Judge Crabb placed the stay on same-sex marriages, Van Hollen released the following statement: “I am very pleased that Judge Crabb has followed the lead of courts across the country, including the United States Supreme Court, and fully stayed her ruling. By staying this ruling, she has confirmed that Wisconsin’s law regard-

ing same-sex marriage remains in full force and effect. The state and all of its agencies and subdivisions must follow and enforce Wisconsin’s marriage law. County clerks do not have authority under Wisconsin law to issue same-sex marriage licenses. Judge Crabb’s stay makes this abundantly clear.”
