THE AWARD WINNING OFFICIAL LEGAL NEWSPAPER OF JUNEAU COUNTY THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 2013
$1.00
Family gives up all comforts to volunteer for others BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD
Dustin Belk
One charged for school burglaries On Thursday, June 20th, Juneau County Assistant District Attorney Jake Westman, filed charges against 20 year old Dustin Belk relating to the June 2011 burglaries at the Mauston School District. On Monday, June 24th, Chief Mark Messer issued a press release where he stated: "After a lengthy investigation, 20year old Dustin Belk has been charged with three counts of felony burglary, two counts of felony criminal damage to property, and one-count of misdemeanor theft of movable property for the burglaries and damage to three Mauston schools that occurred in June 2011. The loss to the school district due to damage and theft was approximately $10,000 plus. Belk is scheduled for an initial court appearance on July 24th, 2013.” According to the criminal complaint, the burglaries took place on June 13 and June 17 in 2011 and that on March 27, 2013, the Wisconsin Crime Lab issued a memo indicating that a DNA swab retrieved at Olson Middle School while officers were investigating the crime in 2011, had a positive match within the data bank. That hit targeted Belk. On April 5, 2013 Mauston police officer John Nault interviewed Belk who, according to the complaint, waived his rights and agreed to talk. Belk is said to have told Nault that at the time the crimes occurred he was "wasted" but admitted to the three burglaries. The criminal complaint goes on to state that Belk stated an argument with a girlfriend had "set him off" prior to the burglaries, but he couldn't remember which girlfriend it was as he has "many girlfriends." Belk allegedly claimed that he was not alone in burglarizing the schools, however he later retracted that statement saying he did act on his own. The criminal complaint points to evidence from the scenes suggesting that more than one party took part in the crimes.
It was that feeling of being stuck in a 9 to 5 existence, the boredom of routine and wanting more out of life for his children, Tyler age 11 and Alexas age 17. It was that almost fleeting thought just six months ago which prompted Chad Slusher of Greenfield, IN. to start dreaming about an adventure. An adventure that would mean selling many of his and his wife Cheryl's possessions to help fund a trip, in a camper, across the country. That trip, however, wouldn't be just your average trip, along the way the family would find people or organizations in need and volunteer their time. Within Chad that daydream soon took hold and before he realized it, it turned into a goal he would reach for - one that he hoped would take him across the midwest and ending in the State of Washington. It was just a couple of weeks ago Chad and his family boarded that camper he dreamed about, and headed out on their adventure, an adventure that would soon land them in Juneau County helping local organizations by volunteering for them. Traveling with them is Jason Switzer, Cheryl's cousin, and Chad's brother, Richard Herman. Jason and Richard are following the camper with a pop-up in tow so that they can help document the trip for all the world to see on various social media sites. "I'm not sure why we got off at the Mauston exit, it just seemed like the place to stop at the time," said Chad. Last Tuesday, exiting 90/94 in Mauston the family soon spotted the St. Vincent DePaul's Thrift Store where they met the store manager Jamie Markovic who would inform the Slusher family just how needed their help would be in a community with a high poverty rate, like Mauston and it's surrounding areas. It did not take long before the Slusher family rolled up their sleeves and helped the workers at the thrift store with organizing and sorting the piles of donations. Jamie assisted the family in reaching out to other organizations while they were in Mauston. Calls were made to the Habitat For Humanity Re-Store and Circle of Hope to see who could use the extra help. The stop the family made last Tuesday in Mauston soon turned into a longer stay. The following day members of the family spent time at the ReStore assisting wherever they could and then on Thursday they made their way to the Circle of Hope Center near Festival Foods where the family helped with organizing and cleaning the center as well as providing assistance at a rummage sale the group was having to help fund both the Grateful Hearts program as well as provide crisis funds for Lend a Hand so that homeless, and those in threat of being homeless, could be helped. While at the various organizations the family stated they met a lot of wonderful people, those working and volunteering as well as those in need. One of the greatest lessons Chad and Cheryl stated they were learning was just how hard it is to survive on so little. A once typical middle class family, they were now relying on the help of others to make their trip a success. "We invested almost everything, we had to get the camper and help fund getting the trip off the ground," said Chad. Chad went on to say that he even walked away from a lucrative position as a salesman for a construction company. Cheryl had just recently retired from being a school bus driver.
The Slusher family invites everyone they meet to sign their camper along the way. "You learn quickly how the simplest things can mean so much when you're in need of gas, or food," said Cheryl. Due to vehicle problems within days of leaving Greenfield, IN., the family soon found themselves in need of assistance sooner than they expected. "We've had blowouts and our generator broke down on us," said Chad. Chad went on to state that their first stop was because the camper suffered a blowout. Then, after getting that tire fixed, the following day another tire would go flat. "It's been one thing after another," the couple said. But the string of what some would call bad luck soon turned into twisted luck as each and every time they suffered a set back, somewhere along the way there was someone offering to help them. "At first I thought I could plan this trip out, but now I realize we shouldn't plan and just let it happen - let it take us where it needs to," stated Chad. As for the children, Tyler and Alexas, they both report having a wonderful time and that they are seeing and learning more than they ever realized they would. Additionally, along the way they are making new friends they plan on staying in contact with. The family has named their adventure Social Networking Across America, and if you pass their camper you can't miss them as logos for social media sites and their account names are plastered on the van so that others may follow their adventure. "We want to promote the spirit of volunteerism," said Chad. "Who knows, maybe others will decide to do the same and this could be the start of something, a movement," he went on to say. If you would like to follow the family's ‘pay it forward’ adventure you can do so by visiting their website at www.socialnetworkingacrossamerica.com. On the website are links to the various social media sites the family are connected to, including Facebook and Twitter. The family left Mauston from Circle of Hope on Sunday, they were on their way to Bloomington, MN. On Monday, and according to their Facebook status, their camper suffered a third blowout but their spirits remain high as they move forward.

Lyme Support group Our Lyme Support Group's monthly meeting will be Friday, June 28th. Our press release is as follows. If you are able, please print all of it. If not, please print at least the heading and the first paragraph announcing the meeting time, place and contact info. Please print this notice in as many forums as you offer: print, on-line, or letter to the editor. Lyme Disease Support Group for Vernon, Juneau, Monroe, Sauk, and Richland Counties: This coming Friday, June 28, 2013 our area Lyme support group will gather in the meeting room of the Hillsboro Public Library, 819 High Ave., Hillsboro, WI. from 6:308:00pm. The meeting is open to Lyme sufferers, their families, and the general public. Any questions? Email us at garycepek@yahoo.com, or phone 608/489-2725 (ask for Gary). The following excerpted summary offers insights from m.prevention.com for you, the reader, who may have to cope with Lyme Disease. "Lyme disease is a tricky business ... tough to detect, diagnose, and treat—and symptoms are even frequently missed by doctors ... most people infected don't even recall ever seeing a tick latched onto them... new research features different types of skin rashes, often ones that mimic insect or spider bites, dermatitis, or lupus rashes. ... 10 of the 14 patients who tested strongly for Lyme Disease also had non-classical skin rashes that mimic skin conditions. ... The value of the study provides an alert for clinicians to be very wary of a patient who travels or lives in an endemic area ..." says study author Steven E. Schutzer, MD, professor of medicine at Univ. of Medicine and Dentistry, NJ. If you suspect Lyme… Don't rely only on a rash. If you're showing flu-like symptoms, go to the doctor. Don't count 100% on tests. ... Dr. Schutzer says you may test negative right after a bite, but positive several weeks later. If your symptoms linger, work with your doctor to rule out other diseases; find a Lyme-literate doctor if you still suspect Lyme. (Some doctors "don't believe in" chronic Lyme disease, so seek out a doctor affiliated with the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, or ask for a referral from a local support group.) If you find a tick on you… Remove it right away. Don't cover it with clear nail polish or try any other old wives' tales. Remove it with sharp tweezers. Get it tested. Places like New Jersey Laboratories (njlabs.com) will test a removed tick for Lyme or other associated diseases for a fee. Know the enemy. Different ticks carry different diseases. Know which ones are prevalent in your area. Dress like a geek. Ticks don't fall from trees—they crawl up. Pulling longer socks up over your pants legs makes it harder for ticks to crawl onto your leg. Thank you once again for helping promote our local support group.

Transitional house ready for tenants BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD This past Sunday the SEA of Change organization held an open house and dedication ceremony for a house that the group will rent and use as a transitional setting for persons working towards stable housing after being homeless. The home will house one family at a time for up to three months at a time. Located at 408 Emberta Street in Mauston, the three bedroom dwelling was purchased earlier this year by Pastor Wendell Williams and his wife Susan. The couple purchased the home from Juneau County. During the February County Board meeting a motion by supervisors to reduce the sale price by $10,000 was
approved and the county entered into an agreement to sell the foreclosed property to Williams and his wife Susan for $15,100. Since the time of purchase more than 50 volunteers have dedicated over 700 hours of time to get the house ready to be rented by SEA of Change. A family in need, who will be approved by a SEA of Change selection committee, will be able to reside in the house rent free for up to three months. Utilities will also be paid for by SEA of Change. Those approved will be required to adhere to rules of the house, including attending weekly meetings and following up with the needed resources in building their lives back up. According to SEA of Change's vice president,

WAARVIK CARSON WED Mary L. Waarvik and John T. Carson were married on Saturday, June 15, 2013 at Fountain Lutheran Church, the church attended by the bride’s family for the last 130 years. The bride wore a coral dress decorated with her great-grandmother’s cameo. The groom wore a matching orange bowtie. They each had white orchids given by neighbor Shirley Hyer. The matron of honor was Andrea Waarvik Stalder. Her floral dress complemented the purple cast on her broken ankle and the flowers festooning her walker. Best man was David Waarvik. Rev. Wesley Dunbar performed the ceremony. The Waarvik family quartet sang an introductory song, and the congregation joined in several hymns. Magla Moore was ‘honorary mother’; she had also donated her and her late husband James’ rings for wedding bands. Charlotte Stalder presented the rings, and after the ceremony was serenaded with Happy Birthday by the congregation. After the ceremony, everyone joined in the reception held in the church basement. Mary Waarvik has returned to her job as Elroy Librarian. John Carson has moved to Elroy from Port Angeles, WA, and is semi-retired from his career as security guard and locksmith. Mary and John would like to thank everyone who helped make this such a special day, especially friends and relatives who brought flowers and food, who helped set up and clean up the church. Thank you to all who shared this special day.

Dream ride set for students European trip BY TASHA MUELLER New Lisbon student Brittany Steele will be making a trip of a lifetime, along with plenty of other choir and band students from Wisconsin, to six different European countries in 2014. Of course, trips like this don't come cheap and will cost roughly $5,000 for the 16-day tour of Europe participating in the Wisconsin Ambassadors of Music (W.A.M.). A "Dream Ride" that will be a poker run and fundraiser for Brittany's travels will be Saturday, July 13 beginning at 11 a.m. at Rotten Brothers in Clifton. From there, other stops are planned along the way with a fundraiser to follow at 5 p.m. at the Hooterbowl in Hustler. Sign up will be between 10 a.m. and 10:45 with costs being $10 per bike or $15 per couple. Other vehicles are also invited to participate in the run. Brittany has been nominated by her choral director and will
tour England, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy, and even Liechtenstein. She will join over 200 other Wisconsin choir and band students. Before leaving for Europe, the students will spend four days at Carroll College in Waukesha rehearsing and getting to know one another. Brittany is a New Lisbon honor roll student, has been a member of honors choir, been involved in school productions, has taken voice lessons, plays the flute, and is teaching herself guitar. Overall, she loves music. The choir and band students traveling to Europe will be performing in just about every country with about 20 concerts between both groups. The students will have time during their travel to see important sights such as St. Paul's Cathedral, the Globe Theatre, the Eiffel Tower, plus many others. Make sure to attend the poker run and fundraiser supporting Brittany to travel and sing on a trip that will be unforgettable.
Locals win National Video Game Competition University of WisconsinStout, Wisconsin's Polytechnic University, can hang a new banner from its rafters: National video game champion. Flash Frozen, a video game created by a team of UWStout game design and development students, was declared national co-champion June 13 at the Entertainment Software Association E3 conference in Los Angeles. Brandy Boothby of Camp Douglas, is majoring in game design and development. Boothby was an artist. Chase Meyers of Necedah, is majoring in applied math and computer science. Meyers was a game programmer. UW-Stout's game tied for first in the inaugural E3 College Game Competition. The other co-champion was Lost in Thought, a game from Savannah (Ga.) College of Art and Design. The games were judged by leading professionals in the industry. "This is an outstanding
accomplishment from this talented and innovative group of students and their advisers," said Chancellor Charles W. Sorensen. "This award proves that students can come to UWStout and achieve great success on a national stage." Nearly 400 U.S. colleges and universities offer video game design programs. UWStout, Savannah and three other schools were named finalists out of 60 entries and presented at the conference, considered the premier world event in the video and computer game industry. More than 48,000 people from 102 countries attended the conference. "This is an example of a program that has achieved excellence with fantastic leadership under Diane Christie and Dave Beck and all the faculty involved," said Jacalyn Weissenburger, associate vice chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs. Diane Christie is the program director. Dave Beck is
the program's art coordinator. "It's a remarkable milestone for Flash Frozen to win the national title and be created by students from a program that is only four years old," Christie said. "The game's stunning visuals and immersive environment stood out from the crowd, largely due to the unmatched curriculum that the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and School of Art and Design provided the eight artists on the team," Beck said. "This award demonstrates the quality of students and faculty that UW-Stout is known for, combining applied learning with technology, through innovative approaches that cross multiple disciplines between the arts and sciences." 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 environment and its many dangers. For more information about the game, go to www.flashfrozengame.com. A total of 12 students developed Flash Frozen in the senior 3D Game Design class taught by Christie and Beck. 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. 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. To learn more about the program, go to www.uwstout.edu/programs/b sgdd.
Local contractors needed to bid This summer, Habitat for Humanity of Adams-Juneau Counties will start construction of two homes, one in Mauston and a second in Adams-Friendship. Both of these houses will be built with the assistance of construction classes from the Mauston and Adams-Friendship High Schools. Habitat will be hiring contractors for some of the construction. Bid packets, with specifications, house plans, etc. are available for the following work: (1) excavation & rough grading, (2) concrete work--walls, basement floor, footings, (3) rough and finish plumbing (4) rough and finish electrical work, (5) heating-ventilation systems, (6) drywall finishing and materials, (7) general materials - lumber, windows, doors, insulation, siding and (8) finish carpeting and flooring. All contractors, local or otherwise will have an opportunity to present bids. Jerry Schroeder, Habitat Construction Chair noted, “while our goal is to use as many local contractors and suppliers as possible, but we do need to make cost a priority.” Any contractor interested in presenting a bid on any of these services or materials can get a bid packet by contacting the Adams-Juneau County Habitat Office at (608) 847-2000, or via e-mail at habitatadams@gmail.com. Bid specifications also can be downloaded from the Habitat Website (www.habitatajc.org) or picked up at the Habitat ReStore at N3696 Highway 12-16 in Mauston. Contractors wanting bid specifications mailed to them need to provide a name, business name, a full address and phone number. Bids will be due on or before July 25 and contract awards will be made based upon an open review by the JuneauAdams Habitat Construction Committee. Experience, references and of course price all will be considered. Habitat is also inviting anyone who wishes to donate time or materials to also contact the Habitat office at 847-2000 and ask
for Volunteer Coordinator Dane DeVetter. As noted by Dane, “Habitat is proud of its past work central Wisconsin and hopes to involve anyone and everyone in the region who wishes to work with us to eliminate substandard housing.” These two houses will be the 16th and 17th Adams-Juneau County Habitat family houses since 2003, with 12 families served since 2008. Each house has involved many hours of volunteer effort to raise necessary funds and was built almost completely with volunteer labor. Normally, it takes from $65,000$85,000 to build one of these homes, depending on donations of building supplies and expert services. Each house is built for a particular working family, a family chosen because they can manage the modest interest free mortgage offered by Habitat, but otherwise would find it impossible to afford a home of their own.

Hillsboro Lions serve more than Breakfast BY TASHA MUELLER
Breakfast wasn't the only thing that was served Sunday morning during the 33rd annual Hillsboro Lions Dairy Appreciation Breakfast. A morning full of great entertainment was also included in the annual breakfast sponsored by the Hillsboro Lions Club. To start out the morning, the Warner Creek Bluegrass Extravaganza consisting of Chris Tengblad, Tom Myers, Kenny Hatfield, Joe Havlik, and special guests took the stage with plenty of crowd favorites. Between the entertainment acts included a presented donation to the Hillsboro Area Ambulance Service with a check for $2,500 from the Hillsboro Lions Club. The donated funds
will be going towards upgraded equipment that will be vital to helping serve the surrounding areas during any type of emergency or assistance. Hillsboro's Domaci Youth Folk Dancers put on great performances with their songs during three separate time slots throughout the morning. The Little German Band rounded out the entertainment. Everett Bradley, Randy Kubarski, and Richard Sebranek played plenty of polka selections for everyone to dance to, along with many other favorites. The Hillsboro Hot Shots 4-H Club put on plenty of fun games for children which included dairy related prizes.

Wonewoc Grace Methodist Church History 1930-1960 CONTRIBUTED The Wonewoc Episcopal church changed its name in late 1929 to the Grace Methodist Church. Mother/ Daughter Banquets and Father/Son Banquets were annual events and well attended by many from our fine community. According to newspaper ads, the menu for a Mother Daughter Banquet in 1930 included Tomato Boullion, Creamed Chicken En Shell, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Escalloped Corn, Pineapple Salad, Celery, Olives, Rolls, a Date Dessert and Coffee. What a feast, and all for a price of $.75. Outdoor open air services we conducted in July with picnic dinners following in which the whole community was invited. Harvest Suppers' also became popular evening meals served to the community, it is recorded that the first one was in October of 1934. The Methodist Church in Union Center also became part of our charge. The fall of 1937 brought our 75th Anniversary celebration with a program guest speakers and of course a noon meal served by the church's ladies. In 1943 a long time member Mrs Clara Colburn passed away leaving her entire estate to the church and the Wonewoc Public Library equally. This fine donation allowed the church to paint and paper the main floor and add a new roof as well as make similar improvements to the parsonage. A "special communion service" was held in her memory. This only goes
to show how much benefit can be had from families remembering the church in their wills. Rev. Leo K. Mader was the pastor here from 1942-1948. September 16, 1945 marked the day of celebration as a special service was held to burn the mortgage that was now paid in full. District Superintendent Rev. Gee assisted with the service and a pot luck dinner was served with a short program and reading letters from past ministers. 1948 brought another new Pastor--William T. Walker who at the time was the oldest minister to serve here. Rev. Richard D. Hostetler followed Rev. Walker in 1953 and was the youngest minister to serve here. This was his first charge and under his guidance the chancel received some additional remodeling enlarging it and finishing it with African and Phillipian mahogony. $1500.00 was set as our goal to cover the project and due to the good faith of our members over $2000.00 was raised. A dedication service was then held on Sunday, March 24th, 1957 with a theme of "The More Beautiful Place in Which To Worship in Our Church". This service was led by the Bishop H. Clifford Northcott who was then the resident Bishop in Wisconsin, Rev. Raymond Fleming our District Superintnedent along with Rev. Hostetler. A Recital of Sacred Organ Music was presented to the
public by William G. Peck of LaCrosse on June 11th of 1953. Mr. Peck was the assistant organist of the Presbyterian church in Washington D.C. and had also served in MacArthur's General Headquarters in Tokyo prior to coming to LaCrosse to take over the music store there. The new electric organ will be used. Rev. John L. McMurtrey was assigned here in 1957 - 1959. The church again underwent some remodeling and updating as the basement was enlarged and an addtion to the east side with a roof of its own and a new outside entryway. This enlargement afforded a larger dining room, added a nursery, a Chapel and an office. Oil heat was added and kitchen improvements made along with new fiurnishing. Once again our church families stepped up to cover the costs.1959 brought a new minsiter to the helm-- Rev. Edward Beck.

LaValle Library UW Lecture Series presents Masters of the Great American song book The LaValle Public Library offers its second in a series of programs on Tuesday, July 2 at 6:00 p.m. Our UW Lecture Series presents Masters of the Great American Songbook: Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Richard Rodgers There were many results of the mass immigrations to the United States between 1890 and 1910. A 1905 play, “the Melting Pot”, celebrated the United States as the new promised land. In the play a Jewish protagonist, against the backdrop of the Statue of Liberty, alluded to Emma Lazarus's famous poem The New Colossus (1883), which celebrated the statue as a symbol of the United States' identity as an immigrant nation. Whether or not the United States has “melted together” many races and cultures continues to be hotly debated. But
there is ample evidence that a new style of music developed at this time which was unique to the New World, and was a melting together of various cultural sources. This style dominated American pop culture well into the 1960s, and beyond, and continues to influence, inspire and perplex each generation that comes along. Five composers dominate this style. They are responsible for both the maturing American Musical Stage and the newly born American Cinema. Professor Aagaard will discuss the similarities and differences of these five giants of American Popular Music of the Great American Songbook. James Aagaard is the Assistant Professor of Music at the UW-Richland where he has been the Music Director since 1976, conducting both choral and instrumental ensembles. He holds degrees from Waldorf College, St. Olaf College,
and the University of Northern Iowa. He has been an actor, director, and music director for various regional theater companies in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. In Richland Center he was founder & Director of the Ocooch Chorale for 10 years, the Ocooch Chorale Chamber Singers for 20 years, and the Coppertop Summer Theater for 6 years. He has also been the Treasurer of the Wisconsin Choral Directors Association and the chair the Collegiate Honors Choir project. He has been a member of Brass-R-Us for 25 years. Aagaard’s research has centered on the American Musical Theatre of the 1920s and 1930s and, in particular, the music of George Gershwin.
Runick Metal Recycling, Inc. In the Loop... CONTRIBUTED BY PEGG CONDERMAN It is amazing to me the lesson that is being learned through having a good case of bronchitis/ pneumonia followed by a family emergency. Unavoidably, my energy over the past couple of weeks has been spent on my own health (aka lots is sleeping and trying to breathe); my family; my church; and my work.

Two injured in crash Monroe County Sheriff Pete Quirin reports a one vehicle crash that resulted in injuries to two people. The crash occurred at about 7:00 AM on June 24, 2013 on ST HWY 71, four tenths of a mile east of Javelin Road, in the Township of Wells. A 1997 Ford F350 driven by Myron A. Leis (age 59) of Sparta, WI was eastbound on ST HWY 71 when he fell asleep and the vehicle he was driving crossed the centerline and went off the westbound shoulder. The vehicle that Mr. Leis was driving struck a bridge pier that was made of concrete (bridge extension that helps control the flow of the water). The vehicle came to rest on its wheels in a cornfield. The passenger in the Mr. Leis’s vehicle is Eric A. Leis (age 44) of Kendall, WI, (who received non-life threatening injuries, along with Myron A. Leis (who received non-threatening injuries).

Royall electors vote 19-4 on Kendall School BY TASHA MUELLER With only one item on the agenda during the special meeting of the electors of the Royall School District, a decision was made with a majority vote to move forward with the sale of the Kendall building and property at Monday's evening meeting. The meeting was held like an Annual Meeting with a chairman elected as School Board President Ryan McKittrick was selected and a two minute time limit was proposed on individuals speaking on the issue. Kendall resident, Craig Buswell, made the first observation saying the towns of Kendall and Elroy used to be a joint district and now much of the focus is located in Elroy since the closing of the Kendall Elementary School. "The one reason a possibility to keep the school was if the district saw larger increase in students. The closing of the school is detrimental to the village and selling it moves the decision further down the line. We (Kendall residents) feel as if we're second class citizens by the Royall School Board and as unwanted guests. Make us feel like we're first class residents of the Royall school district," he stated. "We have to look at this in the enrollment, which hasn't grown in years. If we could afford to keep the (elementary) school open we would, but we can't," stated clerk Doug Waterman.
The selling of the building would save the school district close to or over $20,000 per year with rent and utilities. "I think the village (of Kendall) should use the school for something," said Kendall resident Sally Dana. "As long as it doesn't sit there and nothing happens to it ." "Students don't view themselves as Elroy or Kendall," said elementary principal Darcy Uppena. "We are Royall. We are all one. We are doing so many things to come together." "If we can bring something good into the building, that will better both communities," said McKittrick. "A school is not set up to be a rental property." The financial responsibilities came up into the conversation as not the main focus, but how the building should have been put up for a industrial or commercial real estate. "We could never sell the building at what it is appraised for," said Vice President Mike Preuss. "An appraisal would cost the district $6,000 to have done and the district could never see the amount asked to be sold at. I would like to see the Village of Kendall purchase the building and see some good use out of it. If the village decides against it, the building can then go up for public auction and see what we could get out of it. Once you auction it off, it is what it is. The decision with the Village of Kendall was the better choice." "Does the Village (of
Kendall) have a plan of what they're going to do," asked John Clark. "Do you think to turn this building over for $1 and hope for the best is the right option?" "If taxpayers don't think that's the right option, that's what we want to hear," said Preuss. Lynette Vlasak asked, "Do we know if the Village wants it (the building)?" Village of Kendall Board President Richard Martin replied with, "Yes. Unanimously the board wants it. Out of confidentiality I can't say our plans on what we plan on doing with the building. During the regular Kendall Village Board Meeting upcoming Monday night the plan will be revealed." "Why wouldn't you sell the building first then turn it over to the village for a $1," interjected a resident before the vote took place. "It seems like you're doing the process backwards." In a tense, but cordial exchange, board members and electors agreed on a motion. A vote of 19-4, the majority moves to carry the option of selling the Kendall school property to the Village of Kendall and if the option does not deem possible by Kendall's Village Board Meeting, an option of putting the building up for auction will be made if need be. Not only was the special meeting tense with roughly the 30 people in attendance, the regular school board meeting was only more interesting. During the approval of

receipts vouchers, Waterman did not approve of checks 54436 and 54475. "One is to the City of Elroy. We need to discuss it with them and one is for reimbursement I don't agree with." The approval was voted on with the discussion pending after being asked from audience members on what exactly the checks consisted of. "Check number 54475, reimbursement to Sarah Gruen. We asked Gruen to be on an interview community but was on a class trip and we paid her $44.07 to go down there and she did. I see that if the others (on the committee) didn't get paid for it, she shouldn't either." "It was a hard time to find anyone else to be part of the interview committee," said high school Principal Scott Uppena. Gruen put in for the mileage that she should not have gotten paid. "And the other check was to the City of Elroy was made out to $19,632.06 for moving a pole." The item was tabled but discussed further on. "Maybe we could wait on the item," said Waterman. The item for the large check amount is a rope course to be installed on the district grounds in accordance with the Pep Grant. The area is 100 by 100 to build. The mapped out course would be place behind the elementary while having to move a pole then be reinstalled and up to code. "The ropes course is a
$40,000 component to the Pep Grant," said superintendent Mark Gruen. "A possibility of working with the city and electrical units to donate their time towards the Pep Grant was discussed but the teams didn't feel comfortable with the option." The check was from a quote the teams gave the district and the Pep Grant money would not be able to fund the movement of the pole which is out of the budget. "The Capital Improvement budget is set at $50,000 per year. The option to do this was prioritized at a number one because of the deadline for the Pep Grant." A second bid would like to be sought out regarding the pricey project to the district and a decision to undergo the project will be decide during next month's meeting. The Capital Improvement Budget was listed with projects in order of importance with an approval of $42,500 but no likely option of getting a security system in place for the district. John Clark remarked "shame on you" as school security should be a top priority. The board approved of the retirement of Alice LeisMurray, whom is a part of the Food Service and has been with the district for 20 years. Also approved was the support staff handbook effective July 1. Student representative Trystan Houzner spoke on his experiences during Badger Boys State that was a life
changing experience with lasting friendships formed. Dalton Lunde also attended the yearly event. Other student representative Emily Nelson spoke on students preparing for their musical on August 16 and 17. A great turnout of students attending all sessions during summer school has been fantastic to see. The first session finishes this Thursday and students have been participating in health and wellness activities. All academic sessions will be held in August with 100 students enrolled. There are 289 4K through 12th grade have taken some sort of summer school session. The online classes will be switched to Plato from Odyssey as the program will provide for better scheduling options with about the same costs. There is more interaction with the professors if needed. It will be greater for the students to be on track to graduate. During the superintendent report, Mark Gruen only had one thing to say regarding the check number 54475. "I would defend our staff member who is not reimbursed tonight. She did put in for millage. The principal signed the approval and I signed the final check. If we ask our professionals to do things for the district we should reimburse them. If she did get the check, she would give it to you and tell you just exactly what to do with it."

iLead Charter School showcased at board meeting BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD At last week's June meeting of the Mauston School Board focus was on the iLEAD Charter School as teachers Greg Rowe, Gil Saylor, and Nick Hable provided board members with a presentation on the school, student projects, and future direction. This past school year seven seniors graduated from the two year old charter school, a number according to the teachers, that will almost double in the following year. In total the project based learning environment provided education for 40 students. Of those attending, a significant number found their way to the school through Wisconsin's Open Enrollment. Slots for the 2013/2014 school year are already filled and a waiting list of students wanting to attend is growing. The teachers went on to explain how students learn in the project based environment, and how individual student projects incorporate all needed core subjects such as math and language arts. Various testing and other assessments are conducted
throughout the year to ensure students are moving forward with skills and knowledge. The staff then focused on two student projects both of which were innovative providing life lessons for future entrepreneurship endeavors. The first project highlighted was one that also benefited low income families and a local organization, Circle of Hope. Anne Houy and Paige Waits created a cookbook to help provide guidance to families on how to feed a family of four on just $75 per week, and with meals that provided needed nourishment in a healthy way. Once the book was completed, it was sold for $10 with Circle of Hope receiving proceeds from the sale. Circle of Hope is an organization that has worked in providing assistance to the area's low income and homeless community since 2009. Teachers explained that the girls needed to do the required research, math, writing, and marketing to make their project a success and that a second cookbook is in the works which will focus on healthy low cost
Kyle Roberts will be marketing a line of handmade instruments next year under the name of Hobo Crafts. This past school year he focused on making cigar box guitars. ethnic meals. The other project highlighted was that of Kyle Roberts who expressed an interest in making cigar box guitars like those who gained popularity during the turn of the century and Depression era. Roberts took the idea and through trial and error created his own line of cigar box guitars, one of which recently sold for $100. Next school year he will be working on a business plan in creating his own line of instruments and

Bill’s Corner there was a good supply of freshly-brewed coffee, and the early-morning conversation went on as usual, even though it was in the dark. I didn't keep track of how long the power was out, but I would guess it was nearly a half hour. Anyway, just as we were finally getting used to the dark, there was a sudden flash of light from the ceiling fixtures, and then darkness again. I am sure all took it as a harbinger of things to come, Not too long after that, the lights finally went on for good, and life went back to its usual pattern. The eggs went onto the grill, and other breakfast treats requiring heat were being served. I'm not quite sure what the lesson was, but although the cooking had to stop, the coffee was still being served, and the conversation continued throughout the whole thing. It was a more interesting breakfast hour than usual.
Although there was a persistent sprinkle at the time last Thursday morning, I decided to put on my jacket and head across the street to the restaurant for my usual breakfast. About the time I started to cross the street, I saw a flash of lightening. It seemed several seconds later that the thunder started to be audible. I remember thinking "Well that was far enough away so I know nothing around here was affected." When I reached the restaurant door, I found out just how wrong I was. The interior was totally dark, and I looked out to realize other downtown lights were also out. The lightening apparently had cut off Elroy's power supply. The restaurant staff had several flashlights available, and judging by the voices, I realized many of the usual breakfast customers were at their positions. Although the gas-fired grill needed electricity to operate,

ing growth and expansion, is the stalled fundraising efforts on behalf of the library director and the Library Board. Many people and corporations have generously donated to this cause and expect that they will see results as does the community, as they have been told. I would like to see results or communication on the progress as I have a vested interest in this matter. I would like to continue supporting our local library, as this programs and services are valuable to our kids, community and school. These are the things that are important and we should not expect anything less. With Kind Regards, M. Sill

To Whom It May Concern ; Recent events regarding the New Lisbon Library have come to my attention which have caused great concern. As an area resident and supporter of the library, I am concerned about recent position cuts and program cuts, while salary of the director was increased. As this is a position paid by tax payer monies, this should be of concern to the members of the community. (This information is public record.) My second concern, as a volunteer, who has gone out into the community and surrounding areas and has mailed letters to corporations, asking for donations to support fundraisers for the specific purpose of build-

BY NANCY J SCHNEIDER A couple years ago I spotted a very large bird circling around in the open field east of our house. I thought maybe it was a large hawk of some sort because it seemed to be gliding and soaring without flapping its wings. I pointed it out to Ray and he said it was a Turkey Vulture. I laughed because I thought he was making it up or something. I mean a vulture out here? I had images of a mean, slopped shaped ugly bird waiting for something to die. Sorta like what I used to see in cartoons when I was a kid. But he wasn’t kidding, there really is such a thing as a turkey vulture or buzzard and they do live around here! So I naturally had to look them up and see what I could find out about them. Now that was a while back and I haven’t really thought too much about them since. Until today. Today I noticed the shadow of a large bird passing over the house. I was in my office and I can look out at the driveway and keep an eye on what is out there. As I was looking I noticed the shadow of a bird pass over the drive. In order to cast that big of a shadow it had to be one of the turkey buzzards that I’ve noticed hanging around lately. I didn’t think too much of it except to note that I noticed it. A few moments later I saw our cat race down the driveway and headed towards the mailboxes. And right behind the racing cat was the shadow of a large bird! That bird was chasing our cat. Now isn’t it rather ironic that all of a sudden this cat became important. I mean all winter long I complained about having to tromp out to the barn to feed the feral cat Ray adopted. I sure grumbled about doing that because it was cold, the snow was up to my knees and I couldn’t even get close to the darn cat to pet it. But I also couldn’t let it starve so I faithfully went out every day to feed it. But I wasn’t happy about it. Yet now when I saw that darn vulture soaring over the cat, I got mad at the bird. I know it’s survival of the fittest out there in the wild but really, did the bird have to try to eat my cat? While it’s true I’m not really crazy about the cat, I sure like it a lot more than the buzzard.
But I got to wondering if I really had to worry. It had been a while since I did any research on the old turkey buzzard so it was time to re-look at the information on the critter. One thing it said right in the beginning of the article was like lions and other large predators, vultures eat meat, but unlike lions vultures do not need to kill to survive. It went on to say that there were Old World vultures and New World vultures and the ones that live here in the United States are New World. Old World vultures have relatively strong feet, like the clutching talons of their raptorial ancestors. New World vultures have weak, chicken-like feet, which are suitable for running on the ground but not for grasping. These vultures cannot lift or carry food with their feet. They can only step on their food to hold it in place while eating. It went on to reassure me that they are extremely un-aggressive and have only rarely been documented to feed on still living prey. Live animals that are mobile, like pet dogs or cats, are not believed to face any risk. That’s what it said, so why was the bird chasing my cat? When I think of a vulture I think of a scavenger that is out cleaning up the countryside one bite of their sharply hooked beak at a time and never mussing a feather on their bald head. I picture them on the ground huddled around road-kill or maybe a dumpster, not chasing my cat. I’m not a mean person when it comes to animals of any kind (well except porcupines) but if this mean old buzzard continues to harass my cat I’m gonna have to do something about it. I just don’t quite know what, but something cause you can’t pick on my cat and get away with it. Hopefully I will be able to enjoy watching this bird soar around on the wind and it will leave my cat alone. Time will tell I guess. Until next week I’ll leave you with this NO-nonsense thought: It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser. n Nancy J Schneider is a member of The Wisconsin Regional Writers Association and writes freelance.

Hillsboro gives Seven Scholarship awards attend Western Wisconsin Technical College to study electronic systems, installation & maintenance and then pursue an electrician apprenticeship. Kelsey Taylor, daughter of James & Patti Taylor. Kelsey will attend Winona State University to study business administration and marketing with a goal of becoming a marketing manager. Spencer Treu, son of Snapper & Kim Verbsky. Spencer will attend Winona State University to pursue a degree in nursing with an eventual goal of pursuing further education in anesthesiology. The Hillsboro Excellence in Education Fund and Hillsboro Scholarship Fund are components of the Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin, Inc., a tax-exempt public charity. For more information or to make a donation to the Funds, contact advisory board co-chair Dan Ravenscroft, advisory board co-chair Andy Peterson, or CFSW Donor Services Representative Barb Daus (barb@cfsw.org or 608778-3344). Donations to the fund can be sent to Hillsboro Excellence in Education & Scholarship Funds, PO Box 526, Hillsboro, WI 54634 or can be made online at www.cfsw.org.
Seven scholarships, totaling $4500, were awarded by the Hillsboro Excellence in Education & Scholarship Funds advisory board at the May 2013 Hillsboro High School Commencement. Speaking on behalf of the board Natalie Adams noted, “A little over a year ago Superintendent Curt Bisarek pulled together a group of community members to talk through the idea of partnering with the Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin to create a fund that would serve as a permanent feature in the Hillsboro schools and provide scholarships to graduating seniors and grants to teachers. CFSW put some lofty goals in front of our group, including a $10,000 requirement to build an Excellence in Education endowment and a $20,000 requirement to build a scholarship fund. I am extremely proud to announce that we shattered those goals. With support from many community members, who are recognized on the donor wall just outside the gym, we were able to raise nearly $70,000 for the Excellence in Education and Scholarship funds.” Adams noted that a scholarship committee, comprised of individuals who were not related to any of the graduating seniors, reviewed applications and selected seven students to receive the initial scholarship fund awards. Application evaluation was based on documented acceptance to (and subse-
quent enrollment in) an accredited post-secondary two-year or four-year college or university; leadership during high school in extra-curricular activities; demonstrated service and commitment to the community; and a short essay explaining what influence living in Hillsboro, a small community, had on the applicant’s life and career choice. Recipients of the awards include: Connor Brown, daughter of Todd and Amber Brown. Connor will attend UW-Richland with the goal of completing her associate's degree and transferring to UW-Platteville to pursue a degree in social work. Zachary Griffin, son of Jerry & Karla Griffin.

Hilary Stanek, daughter of Rick and Mary Stanek. Hilary will attend Viterbo University to study biology with the goal of becoming a physician's assistant.

An Outdoorsman’s Journal
BY STEVE NORLING This past week I had the pleasure of being invited to participate in a program titled “Birding by Ear”. Only volunteers and staff were invited to participate, as we are the ones that get the questions from visitors. The group was led by one of the staff biologists, Richard Urbanek, who has an extensive knowledge of birdcalls. We spent about an hour in the field listening for various types of birds. Urbanek would hear the call and immediately know what type of bird it was. The area we were in is home to thirty-seven different birds, but as the day was windy and there were a number of us walking around we only heard eighteen. After spending an hour in the field we returned to the visitor center to complete the program. Urbanek played various birdcalls on the computer, some which we had just heard on our walk, and let us see how many that we were able to identify. It was surprising to me that most of us could not even remember the calls we had just heard. Urbanek played all thirty-seven calls of the birds known to be in this area. While out in the field we were able to see many of the birds that we heard, making it easier to identify them next time. Knowing both their call and their appearance is a definite plus. It was a great day in the field, I learned a lot and hope it will be helpful the next time a visitor asks me what bird they are hearing singing. Things are continuing to look good for the late nesting cranes. The two nests are still active and being incubated, which means that there just may be a couple of more chicks born. The one chick in Marathon County is still alive and doing well. There was another chick born but it has not been seen for a long enough period of time to presume that it fell prey to some predator and is no longer alive. We will all continue to keep our fingers crossed that the two nests still active will produce. A year with three chicks would be a great step forward in the reintroduction of the whooping crane east of the Mississippi. Time to begin fawn watching this month. I have been seeing quite a few does with fawns already and most of them have been twins. If the coyotes and wolves leave them alone we should have a good crop of deer upcoming. Of course the coyotes and wolves are predators and will take some of them just as predators take whooping crane chicks and other predators take other animals both young and old. That is the way of nature and that is what keeps the balance of nature. Tuesday when I was out at the refuge I saw where some predator, probably a raccoon, had dug up some turtle eggs. The turtles dig a hole in the sandy road and lay their eggs there, cover them up and then leave. Some of the nests make it to hatch and some do not. Can you imagine how many turtles there would be in the world if no predators ever found the eggs? Mankind is the biggest predator of all. Once we have messed up the balance of nature simply by being here, we have to do some of the predation to return some of the balance. It is hard to tell sometimes if we take too many animals or not enough. Hunting, trapping and even fishing are needed to keep that balance and it is up to us to try our best to strike a good balance. We only want to take enough of the game to keep the remainder of the animals healthy. For those of you with youngsters that have completed kindergarten through fifth grade that want to join the “Eco Explorers” day camp, be sure to register early as space is limited. The dates of the camp are July 23rd, 24th and 25th. If the plans I see being put together by Katy and Kara could be more informative and exciting at the same time, I do not know how. This is a great way for the youngsters to learn about nature and have a great time doing it. Most of them will probably be having so much fun that they will not realize that they are actually learning something. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”
The Food Plot BY MARK WALTERS
Hello friends, I am in Canada, I am fishing, I am having fun! I had to put something out for my deadline on the week that I am gone. Gardening is a huge part of my life, as is preserving the food I grow. I am looking at one of my two gardens! I have 300 hills of Yukon Gold’s and Pontiac “reds” growing in it. Twice this week I had potatoes that I grew in last years garden. Both varieties that I mentioned are top quality on the table and the Yukon’s store exceptionally well. I have 9 apple trees planted in my garden, this spring they were loaded with blossoms, it looks like there should be an excellent harvest this year. Together, with two of my neighbors, most of my apples are made in to applesauce each fall. Last year, due to three frosts during blossom time, I did not harvest a single apple. So far this spring, my stepson Joey Dushek has provided another thousand carp to help create very fertile soil, in Juneau County, fertile soil is rare. Just past the potatoes, I have 30 Roma tomato plants. In a perfect world they will provide me with enough tomatoes to provide 50 quarts of salsa and also product for chili and spaghetti sauce. Last year I made chili for the first time in my life. I put 7 different types of peppers in it as well lots of burger. I froze forty half-gallon bags of it and am amazed at what a simple and tasty meal it makes. Next to the Romas, I have 50 pepper plants; the best salsa has lots of peppers both hot and cold. To go with the peppers and tomatoes, I grow my own onions and the only ones that I grow are the red onion, which I feel is just top quality when it comes to taste. Just past the pepper plants, I have 20 broccoli plants and seed in the ground for another 30, which will give me a fall harvest as well. Last year, a good friend of mine helped me make 6-gallons of cheesy broccoli soup. This year, I would like to make 15-gallons as six was no where near enough. Something that I am getting bigger on each year is perennials. In my case, I am talking raspberries, blueberries, rhubarb and asparagus. In late April, I planted a dozen of what I hope will be high yielding blueberry bushes. I also planted two-dozen mid-July (harvest) red raspberry plants and two dozen black raspberry plants. The blueberry bushes are tough to grow as one as to keep on your soil/acid levels just right. I love black raspberries and though I have had fall yielding red raspberries, it will be nice to have red raspberries in July like so many other people have. Something that I am trying this year with many of my plants is to put peat moss in with the root system as well as manure. The peat moss, at least in my theory, will help to hold some moisture during the dry periods of summer. I buy 80 pound bails for about 12 bucks and peat moss also makes excellent night crawler bedding (the best that I know of). For vine plants, I grow cucumbers, muskmelon, squash, and this year, lots of pumpkin. On a typical year, I harvest a hundred butternut and acorn

squash, maybe 30 muskmelon and 50 cucumbers. My main reason for growing the pumpkins, and if everything goes well, I will harvest at least 2000 pounds for chicken feed. I have laying hens and the price of chicken feed for a week has gone from about 12 dollars to feed 17 hens, to about 22 dollars. Chickens love pumpkins and I believe I can cut that feed bill substantially for about 3 or 4 months. When it comes to chickens, and I also raise pigeons for dog training purposes, there are generally predators to deal with. People that do not understand the damage that stray cats, raccoon, and hawks can do, only have one reason for not understanding, and that is because they are not raising chickens. Once a predator starts killing your chickens there is only one thing that can be done to that predator and that is a death sentence. That may sound terrible but it is reality, a feral tomcat will raise absolute heck around a farmyard. I had a silent war going on with one for two years, this winter he knocked my pigeon flock from 40 to 5. I have also had hawks become pros at harvesting my birds as well. Between heating with wood, gardening, egg laying hens, and a job where I bring home lots of fish and game, I live a very unique way of life and I love it. In a way I feel that more Americans are starting to get back to their roots and it would be really cool if I were right! Eat well! Sunset

THE MESSENGER OF JUNEAU COUNTY
June 27, 2013
Chicken Hawk Memorial Run BY TASHA MUELLER Bikers joined together for a good cause on Saturday to take part in a memorial run in honor of Travis Olson of Wilton. Meeting in Kendall at the Kickback Bar and Grill, participants also went to Riley's in Wilton, The Dog House Saloon in Cashton, The Vault in Rockland, The Longbranch in
Cataract, Scooter's Pub in Millston, Einstein’s in Oakdale and ended the day back at the Kickback for supper. At each stop, a 50/50 raffle took place and entertainment to end the day. All proceeds from the day are going towards scholarship funds to Royall and Brookwood seniors that will be attending WWTC of La Crosse in the program of Diesel Mechanics, the same as what Travis had gone to school for.
Locals attend Badger Boys State The 72nd Session of Badger Boys State was held June 8 to 15, 2013. Attending from Necedah were Charlie Krupa in his 29th year as a staff volunteer, student delegates Danny Zipperer, Marcel LaFountain, Taylor Krupa, Bryce Kies, Tripp Horbinski, and Trey Horbinski. Badger Boys State is sponsored by the American Legion to educate our youth in the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship. Each year approximately 29,000 young men attend Boys States and receive the inspirational education provided by this project, which was originated in 1935 by the American Legion of Illinois. Wisconsin's first Boys State was in 1939. WW II forced a suspension of the program in 1943, 44 and 45. Badger Boys State, held at Ripon College since 1941, was attended by 867 young men this year. Youth learn by doing as they are assigned
to a city and county of Badger Boys State. Each "citizen" becomes a member of the Federalist or Nationalist party and learns about the duties of each government position. They may campaign and run for office. Citizens vote in each city, county and state election. They also participate in "Schools of Instruction" about parliamentary procedure, public speaking, law enforcement, leadership and others. Fitness and fun are also encouraged as Counties participate in tournaments against each other in sports such as flag football, basketball, tennis, soccer, volleyball and ultimate Frisbee. There are also opportunities to participate in the BBS band, chorus or color guard. BBS citizens come together as strangers at the start of this sometimes life changing week. As they meet and live with other students from around the state, they often leave as lifelong friends.

Earlier this year, Travis unfortunately lost his life and was a caring son, brother, uncle and friend. He could put a smile on anyone’s face and loved to get on his bike and ride. The memorial run was sponsored by The Meat Place, Tanner Repair, Kickback, and Dirty Deeds KJ and DJ. The group will be making the run an annual event.
Sex offender compliance checks carried out The US Marshals along with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections Sex Offender Registry Program and the Juneau County Sheriff’s Department conducted a residence verification operation for registered sex offenders.
