THE AWARD WINNING OFFICIAL LEGAL NEWSPAPER OF JUNEAU COUNTY THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 2013
Mauston couple charged with forgery for cashing checks A Mauston couple is facing charges of felony uttering (forging) and misdemeanor theft. According to police reports Matthew Talley, age 23, and 25 year old girlfriend Brianna Tande, are alleged to have stolen blank checks from relatives and cashed them. In a July 30, 2013 incident report written by Mauston Matthew Talley Police Officer Adam Noe it states he took information on a complaint that someone had stolen Talley's mother's checks from her checkbook. According to his report, five out of six of the checks had already cleared the bank and were written to Brianna Tande. Officer Noe also states in his report that he had received second hand information that Tande's grandmother had also had checks stolen from her. Officer Noe then writes that later in the day he stopped by Tande's residence to speak with her. Upon arrival, Tande is alleged to have answered the door with tears in her eyes and questioning "am I going to jail?" Tande allegedly stated she was willing to speak with the officer without an attorney and freely admitted to stealing her grandmother's checks and that she was sorry. Officer Noe states that he explained to Tande he was not there about her grandmother's checks but instead the ones stolen from Talley's mother to which Tande is said to have stated, "Okay, I'll tell you everything." According to the report after he provided Tande with her rights she stated that Talley had stolen the checks, she wrote her name on them, and then Talley forged his mother's signature. However, in regard to the checks stolen from Tande's grandmother she claimed that Talley had no part in the crime, "it was all me," she stated according to the criminal complaint. The money was spent on clothing for Talley and their daughter, according to Tande. Tande then granted permission for Officer Noe to enter the residence and speak to Talley. Prior to entering the residence the officer received information from the Juneau County Communications Center that Talley had a warrant for his arrest. Talley was arrested and transported to the Juneau County Jail where he declined to answer questions without an attorney present. The amount claimed to be stolen from Tande's grandmother is $1,650. The five out of six checks stolen from Talley's mother totaled $905. Currently Talley is in the custody of the Juneau County Sheriff's Department on a probation hold and is scheduled to appear in Juneau County Court for an initial appearance on the recent charges on September 11, 2013. Tande is also scheduled for an initial appearance on September 11.

A reckless evening ends in multiple arrests BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD According to police reports and criminal complaints the evening of August 10th was an eventful one in Germantown Township and has led to two Elroy men, Jamie M. Jelinek and Gary M. Stokely III, being charged with felony burglary and operating a vehicle without owners consent, and an Elroy woman, Hayley Hart, being picked up on a probation hold. According to the reports, Hart had been staying at, and taking care of a residence on Harbor Drive in the Township of Germantown. On the evening of August 10th, Hart was at the Pine Cove Resort where she allegedly was driving recklessly and had caused damage to her car and struck a bird feeder. She was cited for reckless driving and endangering safety and subsequently landed in the Juneau County Jail on a probation hold. The following morning Juneau County Detective James Varcoe was dispatched to the address at Harbor Drive in Germantown for a burglary complaint. Upon arrival the deputy met with the owner of the residence, Darrick Nelson who reported that he had been out of town the evening prior and that Hart had been the person staying at and taking care of the residence. Nelson, according to the report, went on to state that an unknown person entered the residence and garage and took some property including a firearm and motorcycle without his consent. He offered that the person who did it may have had a key or the door wasn't locked but
he believed that Hart was not the guilty party as she had been arrested the prior evening. Other items missing from the property included cash, electronics, and automotive accessories. A neighbor of Nelson's had a home surveillance system in which Deputy Varcoe and Nelson reviewed the video as a camera was directed at the front of the residence showing the garage and parking area to Nelson's property. The video is said to have revealed that at approximately 9:00 p.m. two people walk from a vehicle parked off Nelson's property to the residence. Later on in the video at around 11:30 p.m. it showed a full sized pick up truck parked in front of Nelson's garage. The video also shows Nelson's motorcycle being driven away and the truck leaving. Nelson believed the truck to have belonged to Hart's former boyfriend named Jamie. Deputy Varcoe then interviewed Hart at the Juneau County Jail where she stated she was not aware of the burglary and did not have any information but did confirm her former boyfriend, Jamie Jelinek, did have a similar truck. Hart also relayed to the Deputy that the prior evening she was at the Pine Cove Resort with Jelinek, Stokely, and another individual, however, did not see either Jelinek nor Stokely after leaving the Pine Cove as she had been arrested. On that same day Juneau County Deputy Beier made contact with Jelinek at his residence in Elroy and reported that he confessed to the crime. He went with law enforcement to the location in which the motorcycle was
Jamie Jelinek kept, Fowler being Cemetery in the Town of Plymouth. Additional stolen property, but not all of it, was located at Jelinek's residence in Elroy. The report goes on to state that when asked where the remainder of the property was Jelinek pointed to a neighboring residence and stated that Stokely resided there. When law enforcement contacted Stokely he reportedly denied knowing of the existence of the stolen property or of the burglary and filled out a written statement stating so. Later in a conversation with law enforcement Stokely allegedly admitted to being at Nelson's residence at the time of the burglary but claimed he did not get out of the truck and was the one to drive the truck away from the property. In further interviews with Jelinek he reportedly told law enforcement that Hart had no involvement in the crime as she was not at the residence when he and Stokely initially went there at 9:00 p.m. the prior evening. He went there to meet Hart but found she wasn't there and the residence was unlocked. At that time Jelinek reports he and Stokely entered the home and took some cash and loose change. Later that evening they met up for drinks with Hart and another friend at the
Gary Stokely
Hayley Hart Pine Cove Resort. They left the Pine Cove around 11:30 to proceed to the Nelson residence where they planned to do more drinking with Hart and the other individual. Jelinek went on to state that Hart did not arrive, and after receiving a text message that she was going to jail they decided to take the other property from the residence. Next Steps On Tuesday, August 13, Stokely was placed on a $10,000 signature bond and is scheduled for a September 11, 2013 initial appearance. Jelinek was placed on and posted a $1,000 cash bond and is scheduled for an August 21, 2013 initial appearance. Hart remains in custody of the Juneau County Sheriff's Department on a probation hold for what appears to be a 2012 case where she pled guilty to misdemeanor theft and receiving stolen property charges. Hart was not implicated in the case against Jelinek and Stokely.

ALICE MARIE MCDONALD
Alice Marie McDonald passed away on Wednesday, August 7, 2013, at Crestview in New Lisbon after a long journey. Alice was a woman of faith and was truly a most caring, giving, loving person. Her nurturing nature came full circle as others found joy in caring for her during her last years. As difficult as it was to watch her vitality and life slip away, she continued to bless and be blessed by those around her. Alice was born October 24, 1940, to Elmer and Genevieve Mueller. She was the oldest of their fourteen children. Her role as big sister and 2nd mother to her younger siblings groomed her to become the amazing wife, mother, and grandmother that she was. She was born and grew up in the Keyesville, WI, area and later moved to Mauston. She graduated from Madonna High School in 1958. She worked at Schultz Brothers in Mauston as a bookkeeper. Her future husband discovered her in those days, and immediately knew that was the girl he was going to marry. She married Fredric McDonald at St. Paul’s Catholic Church in New Lisbon on June 2, 1962. They started their life together at a small home on Castle Rock Lake. Six of their seven daughters were born during the years at the lake. Alice took cake decorating classes in the years after her twins were born and discovered yet another one of her talents. In 1976, they sold their home and moved the family to town into the house that continues to be home. Alice continued her cake decorating, making countless cakes. Her specialty was wedding cakes, including one for each of her daughters. She went to work at New Lisbon IGA as the girls were growing up and moving out on their own. She enjoyed many years of working there and developing friendships that have lasted a lifetime. The role of grandmother suited her perfectly. She excitedly welcomed her 22 grandchildren into the world and wrapped her heart around each one of them. She was a devoted member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church for over 50 years. A true servant of God, she was a church leader every stage of her life- singing in the choir, teaching religious education, leading the ladies altar society, and organizing and serving on the funeral committee. Alice will be missed by so many, but especially by her surviving family and most especially Fred, her devoted husband of 51 years. Her seven daughters and their husbands; Kristie (Todd) Bunker, New Lisbon; Cheryl (Randy) Weiland, New Lisbon; Connie (Gene) Gibson, Colfax, WI; Nancy (Gary) Cowan, New Lisbon; Colleen (Greg) Grovesteen, Tomah, WI; Collette (Dan) Schultz, New Lisbon; and Jennifer (James) Redelsheimer, Plymouth, MN. Her pride and joy, her 22 grandchildren: Garrett Bunker, Kinsey Smith, Elliott Bunker, Jacob Smith, Reed Gibson, Chance Smith, Emma Bunker, Lydia Weiland, Kaylee Grovesteen, Grady Gibson, Margo Weiland, Logan Grovesteen, Sidney Schultz, Drew Gibson, Simon Schultz, Carson Grovesteen, Mallory Cowan, Carly Redelsheimer, Grant Redelsheimer, Sophie Weiland, Abigail Redelsheimer and Garrison Cowan. Alice is further survived by her six sisters, six of her seven brothers, Fred’s three sisters and many, many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and 1 brother. Alice was a beloved woman through all the days of her life. As she experiences God’s promise of eternal peace, her faith, love of family, and caring and nurturing spirit will live on. A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Monday, August 12, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s Catholic Church in New Lisbon with Fr. George Nelson Graham presiding. Relatives and friends were invited to a visitation at St. Paul’s Catholic Church on Sunday from 4:00 p.m. till 7:00 p.m. Burial was in St. Paul’s Catholic Cemetery.

School will be starting within a matter of weeks and we are now focusing our efforts on the programming for the Pre-K through 5th graders. Bags with your child’s name on it will be given to help keep their books clean and organized.

Mauston’s K-9 Unit have been busy within the community BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD
According to Mauston Chief of Police Mark Messer the department's K-9 Unit, under the direction of Officer Eric Sanner, is "becoming an integral part of the department." Earlier this year an almost two year old German Shepherd, Kantor, was paired up with Sanner and since that time the canine has completed training and has, according to Chief Messer, been deployed 21 times. Those deployments have included building searches, "sniffing around vehicles" and two large scale drug interdictions. Kantor was utilized for handler protection during the investigation of a recent homicide, and his tracking skills have been used in a recent call on a suicidal subject who was located in Wood County. Outside of New Lisbon, Mauston's K-9 Unit was called in to track numerous underage drinkers who fled a house party. Within the last two weeks, the K-9 Unit assisted the Juneau County Sheriff's
Department on a call in Lyndon Township with a vehicle sniff where the skilled canine was able to alert law enforcement to loose marijuana and a digital scale. Last week Officer Sanner and Kantor were on duty when a report of a missing teen came in and the team was able to search the areas in which the teen was reportedly suspected to be. Last Wednesday evening during a traffic stop in downtown Mauston, Kantor located two grams of marijuana in the vehicle. When Kantor is not responding to calls he has been out and about in the community alongside his handler. This summer the pair have visited with children attending the Mauston Summer Lunch Program, and have spent time with the employees at VARC. Officer Sanner has stated that he looks forward to the school year beginning and being able to bring Kantor into the school for programs introducing him to the students. Kantor is Officer Sanner's full-time partner and lives with Sanner and his family.

LYNDON STATION FIRE DEPARTMENT BUSY WITH EVENTS AND TRAINING
Pictured, from left to right, Jeff VanLaanen, Eric, Arielle and Fran Arneson.
This past weekend the volunteers from the Lyndon Station Fire Department spent time at Bass Lake Campground for their annual family day. Children and adults not only had a chance to get an up close look into a fire truck but also had an opportunity to try their hand at controlling the water hose while aiming the stream at a makeshift home. Not only have the firefighters at the LSFD been busy with taking part in community events, but they have also been busy honing their skills so they can serve the community in putting out fires and possibly saving homes in the process. Just recently members of the squad took part in a ladder training - making sure they remember their safety while they provide a treasured service to the community. Above, Josh Ludke is the firefighter showing children how to grasp on to the hose and take aim at putting out fires.

Blood drive is success Approximately 39,000 units of blood are needed in hospitals across the country every day. Blood could be needed by a mother experiencing complications during birth, a father undergoing heart surgery, a child receiving chemotherapy treatments or a grandparent with severe anemia. To help meet these demands, Mile Bluff Medical Center in Mauston recently hosted a community blood drive on July 29 and July 30. 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 53 area residents came to Mile Bluff to make a donation. From these individuals, 44 units of whole blood, two people donated platelets and four units of double red cells 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
130 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 who 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 Monday, September 30 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 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 1-888-310-7555.

Wisconsin grown tastes the best It is that time of year again! Local crops are at peak freshness and availability. Whether you are looking for tomatoes, squash or apples this is the perfect time to get your fix. Local farmers have set up stands to make getting fresh fruit and vegetables easy and affordable. Farmers’ Market Produce Safety Tips At the Market: * Handle produce gently to reduce bruising. Bacteria can thrive in the bruised areas. * Avoid produce that has unusual odor or signs of spoilage such as mold. At Home: * Store room temperature fruits and vegetables such as onions, potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, melons and squash in a clean, dry, well-ventilated place, AWAY FROM sunlight and away from areas where meat, fish, and poultry are prepared. * Most other fruits and vegetables keep best refrigerated between 35 and 40 degrees F. * Place refrigerated produce in perforated plastic bags to help maintain moisture yet provide air flow. Clean produce until JUST BEFORE preparing or eating them. * Rinse fruits and vegetables under clean, running water.
* Dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Moisture left on fruits and vegetables helps bacteria grow. Dry them if you won’t eat or cook them right away. * Cut away bruises and damaged areas. Bacteria on the outside of produce can be transferred to the inside when they are cut or peeled. Rinse produce even after the peel is removed. * Refrigerate cut or peeled fruits and vegetables within TWO hours! On hot days with temperatures at 90 degrees F or greater refrigerate produce within 1 hour. The Wisconsin WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program and The Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program have vouchers available for purchasing the fruit and vegetables you crave. Buying Wisconsin grown produce in addition to tasting great gives back to the community and grows healthy families. The vouchers can be used from now until October 31st. Children love fresh fruit and vegetables and enjoy visiting local farmers’ markets. Take your whole family to visit one of the area’s farmers’ markets and try a fruit or vegetable you’ve never had before. Ask the vendor how to use or prepare it if you are unfamiliar. You won’t be disappointed. Call the Juneau County Health Department at (608) 847-9373 for more information.

Local resident visits tornado devastated Moore, Oklahoma The tragic tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma left a path of destruction a mile wide. Nothing was left in its fury. No grass, no trees, no homes, no toys, absolutely nothing but a muddy mess. To see it first hand was overwhelming for a group of Mary Kay consultants and a director from the area. Marsha Sullivan of Kendall
felt the sadness and destruction herself as she passed out care packages to the residents and volunteers in Moore. The care packages were full of Mary Products such as sun block, moist towelettes, moisturizers, lip balm, and donations from area dentists including tooth brushes, toothpaste, and dental floss.
Sullivan had spent time going from business to business to ask for donations to put together the care packages. She decided she would make no commission on the products she was putting in the packages and started with the goal of 50 care packages. Soon she realized maybe 100 packages would be her goal for the victims of
this disaster but, it then grew to 150 care packages of her own along with the help of donations that she had received. Sullivan, her daughter, her grandsons, and another Mary Kay consultant set out in July for Moore not knowing what to expect when they arrived. To see the destruction first hand is very different than seeing it on a television screen and Sullivan was not prepared for the emotional toll it would take on her, not to mention the people that have lost everything. Sullivan was taken back by the recipients gratitude for the items as there was no shade left in the area since the trees were gone and the few remaining trees had very little, if any, foliage on them. "There was just nothing there. You had to watch where you stepped because
of twisted metal everywhere and broken glass," Sullivan stated. Sullivan spoke with a local fireman in the area and he informed her that the day after the first tornado a second one took the same path through Moore and at the time the fireman was on call to a house fire. The fireman described the experience for her. "It was like Armageddon with the wind whipping, debris fling and embers mixed in with it all, like what I imagine Armageddon to be." The accounts of the survivors were extreme to know that they had gotten out alive against such a force of nature, it was unbelievable for them. The residents that were not hit have opened their homes to those who have lost everything and will be by their sides to rebuild
the life they once knew. It will take at least two years for the town of Moore to be the way it once was as far as the homes go. The trees, the yards, and the fields will take much longer to come back. The memories will last a life time and we hope for the people of Moore, that the memories of the volunteers who come to help will out last the memories of the terror of the tornado. Sullivan is planning another donation trip for late August or September, she herself will probably not be going but she will be sending more care packages. If you would like to donate or help please contact Marsha Sullivan at marshasullivan @marykay.com or call at 608-343-7480. You can also visit the website set up at www.operationoklahoma. weebly.com.

One med flown as result of military convoy crash The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department is reporting a two vehicle crash that resulted in injuries to one person. The crash occurred around 4:11 P.M. on 08-08-13 on State Hwy 21 one tenth of a mile east of Co Hwy M in the Township of Greenfield. Both vehicles involved of the crash were military vehicles (Oshkosh trucks model M1120A4) belonging to the US Army National Guard (Wisconsin.) The driver of one of the vehicles involved in the crash was Jeremiah M. Tiede, age 31, of Beaver Dam WI. The second vehicle that was involved in the crash was driven by Steven A. Laba, age 20, of Kenosha WI. Both drivers were in a military convoy at the time of the crash and were travelling westbound on St Hwy 21. Mr. Tiede’s vehicle was the third vehicle in the convoy and Mr. Laba’s vehicle was the fourth vehicle in the convoy directly behind Mr. Tiede’s vehicle. Mr. Tiede was slowing and then stopped abruptly on St Hwy 21 because the lead vehicle in the convoy had stopped to wait for a vehicle (civilian) that was in front of it to turn off of St Hwy 21.
Mr. Tiede had slammed on his brakes and had to swerve to miss the vehicle that was in front of him. Mr. Laba tried to avoid hitting Mr. Tiede’s vehicle but was unable to do so and ran into the back of Mr. Tiede’s vehicle. The passenger in Mr. Laba’s vehicle was injured as a result of the crash. The injured passenger in Mr. Laba’s vehicle is Brian D. Haas, age 23, of Racine WI. Mr. Haas had to be extricated from the vehicle and was transported by Med Link Air to Gunderson Lutheran Hospital La Crosse with serious but non-life threatening injuries. All occupants of both vehicles were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash. Assisting the Sheriff’s Department with this matter were the Monroe County Dispatch Center, Oakdale Fire Department, Oakdale First Responders, Ft. McCoy Police Department, Tomah Rescue Techs, Tomah Area Ambulance Service, Wisconsin State Patrol and Med Link Air. The crash remains under investigation.
The library will be hosting an open house to help library assistant Mary Gernetzke celebrate her birthday. The open house will be on Friday, August 23, during regular library hours.

Touched Twice Clinic serves over 700 BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD On Saturday morning a line formed from the New Lisbon School District parking lot and stretched out to neighboring streets. Those standing in line were anxiously awaiting the annual Touched Twice United Clinic to open their doors. While people in need waited outside, inside over 100 volunteers were setting up and awaiting last minute instructions on what to do once the crowd started to make their way through the clinic. The Touched Twice Clinic was made up of stations where, if needed, those who attended were able to receive haircuts, school supplies, food,
clothing, and a chance for a medical check up. By the end of the day 710 people had been served. There were over 100 medical visits and over 150 haircuts. Hundreds of children will be going to school with new school supplies including one of the 410 backpacks given out. All in all Rhonda Larson, founder of the clinic, reported that 165 volunteers and 25 medical professionals donated their time and skills in making the Touched Twice Clinic a success for all. In addition to those who volunteered at the event, were dozens of businesses and organizations who participated.
In the months, weeks, and days before the clinic, numerous hours were spent sorting and hauling the many items for the event.

Necedah Police Department busy over summer, but no major problems Roger Herried is to get back to the board with costs. In his administrators report Herried reported that a grant of $9,600 was received for the airport runway maintenance, which will allow the airport to crack fill all of the runway at one time. He reported that the grant for the public service building will have to be resubmitted. He also read a thank you from the Necedah Powerlifting Club for the fundraiser they did at the village hall, which earned them around $1,000. He noted that the village may not be able to obtain a variance on phosphorous removal and may have to look at other options. He also noted that the village is now working with the Community Action Committee on trying to find a viable business for the grocery store building. They have areas of expertise that they will utilize to aid the village.
The August Necedah Village Board meeting took place on Monday, August 12, 2013. Officer Tony Heiss reported that this has been a very busy summer but that there were no real serious problems. The Necedah PD is looking forward to school starting and being able to interact with the students. He will also be getting together with staff to update them on emergency response tactics. Public Works Director, Chris Woda reported that the riprap along the east side of the river is now completed. He also reported that the final touch up work on the dam is finished making the job complete. The crew has been working on getting trees and brush trimmed around intersections, cleaning up the grocery store site and finishing the landscaping work around the library.
Board member Karen Ravenscroft tendered her resignation in a letter to the board. The reason is that she has moved out of the village and no longer qualifies. The resignation was accepted by the board. A claim was made by Andrew Kaminski for a sewer backup in his basement. The sewer backed up twice within seven months and while the first time the insurance paid the claim, he stood to lose his insurance if he filed a second claim. It cost him $3,500 out of pocket the second time. Roger Herried reported that they had the problem checked and that according to the company that checked it the village had no fault. This was due to the fact that Mr. Kaminski had not installed a check valve in his basement. Therefore the claim was denied. Several ordinance changes were adopted and it was also noted that a comprehensive ordinance update is in order.

Adams adopts residency restrictions for sex offenders BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD According to reports on Monday evening, the City of Adams City Council adopted an ordinance restricting residency for sex offenders. As reported the ordinance states that sex offenders are a serious threat to public safety and are likely to re-offend. The new ordinance prohibits residency to any offender unless the person was living in the City of
Adams at the time the crime was committed. It also restricts residency for sex offenders in regards to where they can reside in proximity to where children congregate such as pools, parks, and libraries. Adams is not the first Wisconsin municipality to take such a stand. Over the last few years like ordinances have been adopted in other communities. Just this week in Green Bay residents in one neighborhood have
banned together in fighting against having a registered sex offender, Samuel Brandt, being allowed to move into their community and live at his mother's address despite Brandt receiving state and city approval. Brandt was convicted in 2005 of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl. He has served more than seven years in prison and is scheduled for release soon from Sanger B. Powers Correctional Center west of Green Bay.
While some communities have moved towards restricting the residency of sex offenders, earlier this year the City of De Pere repealed an existing residency restriction. In February of this year De Pere Alderman Scott Crevier wrote in his blog the reasoning behind the council move to repeal the residency restrictions: "Jed Neuman also spoke to us at the meeting. Neuman is the sex offender registry
field supervisor for the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. He said that residency ordinances compromise what his agents do, and that this is one group of offenders where we need to know where they are. He said that Brown County at one time had a high compliance rate, and now it’s not as high as we’d like. He also said something which addresses our police chief’s comment about following suit when other municipali-
ties around us are enacting residency ordinances.” He said, “when one ordinance happens, there’s a domino effect”, and that one common thing he hears is that if they don’t have an ordinance, the numbers are going to jump and they’re all going to flood there. But what he’s found since 2007 is that this is not true, “offenders consistently stay in their own home town."

“THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE”
Please spell PRACTICE. May I have the definition, please? To perform or work at repeatedly so as to become proficient. Would you use it in a sentence, please? The cast of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” at Royall High School has been putting in a lot of PRACTICE time to prepare for their upcoming performances. The competition is intense. The words are hilarious. Let the spelling begin! The show centers around a fictional spelling bee in Putnam County, New York. A quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. The cast of “The…Spelling Bee” includes Rona Lisa Perretti – Courtney Pearsall, Vice Principal Douglas Panch – Jordan Baeseman, Meg Mahoney – Madeline Miller, Chip Tolentino – Tristan Dow; Logainne Schwartzandgrubenniere – Bekah Cleaver, Leaf Coneybear – Nick Strait, William Barfee – Brandon Skolos, Marcy Park – Emily Nelson, Olive Ostrovsky – Rebecca Segovia, Chorus and other Small roles – Paige Hyer, Allyson Stanek, Zach Preston, McKenzie Baeseman, Lea Britzman, Kaitlyn Ladwig, Mckenzie Skolos, Zach Trepes, Josh Preston, Ethan Manhart, & Elijah Nicholson. Directors are Janet Baeseman, Beverly Rood, and Kari Dvorak. Performance dates are Saturday, August 17, at 7:00 p.m., and Sunday, August 18, at 2:00 pm, in the Royall High School gymnasium. Tickets will be sold at the door. Ticket prices are: Adults - $5, Students - $3, Children under 5 are free.
Wolf permit drawing will occur August 15 A total of 16,672 interested wolf hunters or trappers applied to receive a permit or a preference point for the 2013 Wisconsin wolf hunting season, according to Department of Natural Resources officials. The permit drawing is scheduled to occur Aug. 15. “This is Wisconsin’s second state-managed wolf hunt, and a continued testament to the recovery of wolves in Wisconsin,” said Dave MacFarland, DNR carnivore specialist. “As we did for the inaugural hunt, we are entering this second season cautiously and will continue to learn valuable information for updating the state’s wolf management plan and adopting permanent wolf hunting rules. We are anticipating another successful, safe, season. “ The wolf quota, as recommended by the Wolf Advisory Committee and approved by the Natural Resources Board, was set at 275. However, the number of wolves available for harvest by state hunters and trappers has been adjusted to 251, in response to the recent declaration of wolves by the Chippewa Bands of Wisconsin. “In order to meet management objectives, putting downward pressure on the population, the number of wolves removed from the landscape needs to increase this year,” said MacFarland. “The 2013 quota is designed to start doing so, in a responsible and sustainable manner.” With the tribal harvest quota adjustment, 2, 151 permits will be drawn for state
hunters and trappers, maintaining the same 10-to-1 permit-to-quota ratio as the 2012 season. One half of available permits will be issued randomly among all permit applications and the second half will be issued through a cumulative preference point drawing. Successful applicants will be notified by letter. Applicants who are not successful in the drawing will be awarded a preference point toward future drawings. There will again be six harvest zones, identical to 2012. Quotas by zone for state licensed hunters and trappers will be: Zone 1 – 76; Zone 2 – 28; Zone 3 – 71; Zone 4- 12;
Zone 5 – 34; Zone 6 – 30. “We do expect population decline in all areas of the state, though decline will be less in areas considered core habitat for wolves,” said MacFarland. “The zone quotas concentrate hunting pressure more in areas with higher potential for agricultural conflicts, which is generally outside of core habitat areas.” The 2013 wolf season starts Oct. 15 and will run until the quota is reached in each zone or the last day of February, whichever occurs first. For more information on wolf management and the 2013 season, please visit dnr.wi.gov and search keyword “wolf.”

Roberts recognized for volunteer service BY TRAVIS BAUMGARTEN The staff of Mile Bluff Medical Center would like to recognize and thank Pam Roberts for volunteering at Crest View Nursing Home. Pam and her husband moved to the area recently from Rockford, IL to live year-round in a lake home they built. Since the move, Pam has donated some of her time leading an interfaith Bible study twice a month at Crest View; and for an hour every month, she also sings and plays the piano in the dining room area. Pam enjoys interacting with the residents, and has even taught them how to play color-coded bells. “Being retired and a ‘young senior,’ volunteering gives me something to do and gives me purpose,” said Pam. She has worked with senior citizens for the last 30 years, and has experience working with Alzheimer’s patients. In Illinois, she served as an activity director and special events planner at a nursing home. “When I was younger and first started working with seniors, I was nervous,” explained Pam. “But the more I was around them, the more I learned. Now I enjoy working with the residents because they have so much to teach us. It has been a great experience for me.” All nine of Pam’s grandchildren have visited the nursing home, and she says they feel right at home. “I think the biggest obstacle is feeling comfortable,” she explains. “Many people think nursing homes are a dark place, but they are very clean, bright and cheerful; and the residents are awake and alert.” Pam said the residents have been very friendly and encouraging, and have welcomed her with open arms. They have gotten to know each other quite well, espe-

Annual Charity Tractor Pull gives a “Fast and Furious” Performance BY TASHA MUELLER If you were unable to be in Hillsboro Friday or Saturday night, loud roars and thick smoke filled the town as roughly 120 competitors from across the nation converged at the Hillsboro Fireman’s Park during the two-day annual Charity Tractor Pull. Hillsboro pulling fans cheered on their hometown favorite, Don Slama, who puts on the weekend event. Slama pulled both nights in the Super Farm Tractors Division. On Friday evening, Slama’s machine ‘Fast and Furious’ went the distance of 310.36 and ended with a 5th place finish, while on Saturday night, Slama went 317.69 and ended in 8th place. Before the weekend races, Slama was trailing the leader, Blain Fraker of Marshall, Illinois, by just eight points on the Lucas Oil Champions Tour. With his finishes from the weekend, Slama is still trailing as Fraker finished in 2nd place both nights. Last year’s points champion, Clay Darnell of Cynthiana, Kentucky is currently sitting in the 3rd place position, only four points behind Slama. An updated point standing was not available after the weekend pulls. During last year’s competition, Darnell’s championship
finish marked the first time a competitor not from the state of Wisconsin Won the Lucas Oil Champions Tour Super Farm Tractors Division. Slama is the lone puller from Wisconsin in the top three right now and with only six events remaining, the state’s hope to bring the title back with be riding on the Fast and Furious machine. Television crews from MAVtv and NBC Sports were hard at it again this year filming the event. Crews arrived in Hillsboro on Thursday to film the city of the surrounding area for footage that will fill voids during the televised event. The filmed event will be shown later in the year on cable television networks. Ed Hora was able to take home the K&K Furniture set from Richland Center with a $1,500 value. Hillsboro Cross Country runners were able to pick up plenty of tickets of potential winners of the furniture set. All proceeds, from the raffle items to the admission prices and concessions, that the charity event pulled together will go to help out area families. In the past, the event raised between $12 and $13 thousand. Each year, pullers purchase separate raffle tickets for a puller’s raffle in which the pro-
Hometown puller Don Slama finished in 5th and 8th place with distances of 310.36 and 317.69, respectively. With only four events remaining on the Lucas Oil Champions Tour, Slama’s machine Fast and Furious looks to gain the lead over leader Blain Fraker of Marshall, Illinois in the Super Farm Tractors Division. Before the pulls in Hillsboro, Slama was just eight points behind Fraker in standings.
ceeds go to one specific family that needs immediate help. During last year’s puller’s raffle, the competitors gathered $2,500 for an area family with a member dealing with cancer. Competitors have always enjoyed coming to Hillsboro, noting the commodities received from the whole town and being able to race on the great fast paced track. Over 100 different pulls were seen each night with classes that included Lightweight Superstock, Pro-Modified 4X4, Super Farm, 10,000 Pro-Stock, Unlimited Superstocks, Super Modified and Pro Street Diesel 3.0 Trucks. Slama and his crew have already been busy getting ready for next year’s competition, by not only getting the grounds ready for providing sufficient space for pullers to work on their machines, but also a continued effort of receiving sponsorships from around the nation. New this year was five acres of camping space, which was greatly received by pullers and families so many could stay right on site. Good luck to Don Slama as he’s hopeful on setting the race even closer in the Lucas Oil Champions Tour.
Maximum Overdrive, pulled by Clay Darnell of Cynthiana, Kentucky sits in the third place spot, right behind Slama in the Lucas Oil Champions Tour standings. Darnell finished with a 17th and 10th place finish Friday and Saturday night, respectively.

School Board discusses raising Athletic pass price BY TASHA MUELLER With the fall sports season coming sooner than many might want to take note of, the Hillsboro School Board discussed setting the prices for the yearly sports athletic pass prices for all home games. Currently, the prices are set as: Family - $60, Couple - $50, Adult, post high school - $30, Student (first grade through 12th) - $15, 4K and kindgeraten are free, and senior citizens are free. An increase has not occurred for a number of years. School board president Jenny Hynek stated to keep the 4K and kindergarten students free, along with senior citizens free, they may have to increase all other prices. The money collected from the passes may include running the home events, ticket takers, etc. “One way for the district to generate revenue would be to increase the prices,” stated Superintendent Curt Bisarek. “This is one way to control our revenue.” The district does not have student fees, to date, that would be able to also increase the district revenue. Roughly, 40 home events are held at the Hillsboro school grounds. Nancy Stanek brought up the fact that “what would happen if prices increased, then would less people be in attendance?” The board voted to keep the prices as they are, since the fall season is fast approaching, and possibly increasing the rates for the 2014-2015 sports season. The football team started practice last Tuesday and volleyball, cross country and middle school football all begin on Monday, August 19. The first official home game is football against Kickapoo-La Farge at 7 p.m. The teams will be busy with tournaments and scrimmages before school begins. The first day of school is Tuesday, September 3 with a middle school open house on Monday, August 26 from 6 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. A performance contract with McKinstry was awarded and approved. A $2,464,913 Guaranteed Maximum Price was decided upon to be spread out over the eight different categories. Projects will be broken down into different priorities which will get accomplished first, like the boiler system and a new elementary roof. The Guaranteed Maximum Price for the elementary HCE upgrade is set at $1.1 million after bids are completed. Bids will take place during the winter months, which will include better bid numbers. The two big projects won’t happen physically until next summer, but electrically the project will begin by the time
school begins. McKinstry will be in contact with the school as to when exactly the projects will begin. The entire resolution towards the sale of the $1,500,000 taxable general obligation promissory notes was approved for the Qualified Zone Academy Bonds tax credit. Diana Marshall gave the board an initial exchange of proposals for a collective bargaining agreement covering base wages with the Hillsboro Education Association for 20132014. A base number of 2.07 percent increase of the total salary divided evenly on each individual’s salary. The generated number is up for discussion and will be decided during the upcoming special school board meeting. An initial offer was given to Marshall and the final contract will be during the special meeting. The board approved the resignation of Jamie Schmitz as Junior High volleyball coach and Varsity softball coach. The board then approved Kathy Clark as 7th grade Junior High volleyball coach and Toni Ross as 8th grade Junior High volleyball coach. Mike Burch was approved as the High School varsity softball coach. Tom Lambries was selected as the Middle School Special Education Paraprofessional, while Nancy Stanek will become the full-time elementary transfer Title 1 Paraprofessional and Bobee Thompson was approved for a transfer to part-time Elementary Title 1 Paraprofessional. A proposed 2013-2014 bus contract with Stenerson Buses was approved. A three percent increase will be included on a $2.59 per mile charge for six routes over 178 days. With each route having a 77 mile minimum, a total of $218,747.46 will be amounted to Stenerson Buses over the contracted time frame. For the CLC Grant, any route provided by the contractor will be paid at a rate of $2.05 per mile with a 40-mile minimum. For wait time, drivers will also be set at $11.00 per hour. The board voted with six yes’s and one abstention. The board went through the 100s section of the Board Policy Book during the first reading. For next month, the board will approve on the second reading with any changes necessary. A special meeting will be set for Monday, August 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the High School Library. The next regular Hillsboro School Board meeting will be held on Monday, September 9 at 7 p.m.
Thank You!
All the volunteers of the Hillsboro Charity Tractor Pull would like to give a heartfelt “Thank you” to all our local sponsors for helping with this year’s pull. We are so grateful for the support, both monetarily and otherwise, that we always receive from the community. This event could not happen without your help. The money we raise is used to help those in our area so this truly is a community event and we intend to keep it that way. Lastly, a huge “Thank you” to all the wonderful volunteers that helped before, during, and after the event. Since this event began, we have been able to give over $100,000 back to the community, so thanks again for all the support, and for putting up with all the smoke and noise over the weekend!!

Party in the Park deemed as “Fun afternoon” BY TASHA MUELLER The Union Center Fire Department proved yet again there could be a party in the park with the help of many participating during the day’s event. The department would like to thank the many who competed in the bean bag, horseshoe, and volleyball tournaments with many coming not only from around the area, but also further away like Portage and Madison.
One volleyball team mentioned they enjoy coming back to the daylong tournament because of the area. “Where we’re from (Madison), no one could put on an event quite like the fire department does each year,” said one competitor. Children also enjoyed the water fights, pushing the barrel to either side with cheers coming from either side of the teams. The children also had fun playing in a mud puddle from all of the excess water, which may have been more entertaining, at times, than the water fights. Each competitor
The horseshoe tournament had a few new competitors this year, including a father-son team from Baraboo that won the competition. Many had fun getting ringers and having a great day for a friendly competition.
Competitors in the water fights received a water bottle from the fire department for their active participation in the cool-down event.
The volleyball nets were in full use as 16 teams competed for a trophy. Players got a workout when the sun finally showed through the clouds and heated up the sand courts.

Navigating the Health Care System Nearly all of us, about 9 of every 10 American adults, have some problems with health literacy. Health literacy is not only about reading. It's about understanding difficult health terms and issues. Even highly educated people can have trouble understanding health care information. For example, health literacy plays a role in how well someone is able to take the right medicine at the right time, a person with diabetes properly manages the condition or a parent follows instructions for helping a child recover from surgery. Limited health literacy can literally harm your health. If you have trouble understanding instructions, you may have a hard time managing a health condition or taking your medicines correctly. You may end up in the hospital more, spend more on health care, and have poorer health. Limited health literacy can also decrease your chances of getting important tests, like mammograms, or helping a loved one with his or her care. To improve your health literacy: • Ask questions. Then, make sure you get and understand the answers. If you don't understand, ask the doctor or nurse for more information. Asking questions may not always be easy, but it can get you the information you need to take better care of yourself. • Repeat information back to your doctor or nurse. After your doctor or nurse gives you directions, repeat those instructions in your own words. Simply say, "Let me see if I understand this." This gives you a chance to clarify information.
• Bring all your medicines to your next doctor's visit. Ask your doctor to go over all of your drugs and supplements, including vitamins and herbal medicines. • Have another adult with you. This might be especially true when you expect to receive important information. • Let the doctor's office know you need an interpreter if you don't speak or understand English very well. You have a right to an interpreter, at no cost to you. Even if you speak some English, tell the doctor's office what language you prefer when you make an appointment. Please contact the Juneau County Health Department at 608-847-9373 for more information.

Bare bones minimum water rate increase
BY TASHA MUELLER During the regular Village of Kendall Board Meeting this month, a less than great outcome was established into gathering information and projected costs regarding increasing water utility bills for all residents. Matt Cantlon of Engelson and Associates from La Crosse was present for Monday night’s meeting regarding a water rate increase. One of the requirements for the water loan the village had previously received was to raise the water rate. Currently, the quarterly household statements are not at the rates the village would like them to be. What Matt had brought to the meeting included financial data over previous years and preliminary estimated costs for 2014, the Spring Street project costs and water tower repairs. The board wants the increase to be a “bare-bones” minimum, meaning hopefully only needing a $10 per month increase. No matter the outcome, an increase will need to be set. A rough estimate of an $81 increase per quarter, or $27 increase per month. A regular household in Kendall is already paying over $150 every quarter, with some paying twice that amount. The proposed estimate would be about a 50 percent increase which could hurt a lot of residents. A return on investment was set at five percent. Once a Public Service Commission (PSC) appeal is sent in, an option of setting the percent to three could be asked upon from the village to make lower costs to water utility payers. A question was asked into raising the sewer rates, which
is a separate utility. The money from current sewer prices is finally getting to where it needs to be at and is adding money into the sewer account. The sewer prices are in good standings currently, but the water increase would be needed. This is not a definite number onto water utility bills. Once final numbers are adjusted for the Spring Street project after receiving bids in September and where money from other funds to cover a possible $100,000 water tower repair cost, the increase will become more definite. In other approvals, the board made the motion into purchasing the Kendall Elementary building from the Royall School District for $1. Board members met with Steve Peterson, Monroe Economic County Development Coordinator, whom has met with interested parties into looking to purchase the building. Many who have toured the building have been amazed at the upkeep from previous reno-
vations. The building should be up for viewing on the Monroe County Economic Development website with hopeful buyers. The annexation was approved to proceed with, as the village can then take ownership of the building. An annexation ordinance will be granted once ownership approval is gained. A structural report was read through by board members on the old church outlining the intentions on what needs to be done with the structure. The current owner does not want the church to be demolished after having the building be described as a “storage unit.” The board agreed upon giving the owner a timeline of when certain things need to be done, such as 30 days to repair foundation, and go from there. If no repairs are taken, the board will take measures into their own accord and possibly raze the building. Alexander Furnishings from Hillsboro will be providing 50 new chairs and 10

new folding tables that will be used in the Kendall Community Hall. A $500 donation from the Kendall Fire Department fundraising account will go towards the purchase, as well as a $500 donation from the Kendall Community Club. The board is also looking into receiving a cooler for the community hall that will provide ease when having drinks for events. The cooler is about five feet tall and two inches wide with sliding glass doors. The find is coming from the Lady of the Lake Catholic Church as is free for the taking with a donation to the church. Local groups will be giving a $100 donation and it should work perfectly in the hall. With hopeful projections
into beginning the process of demolishing the former Kendall Mill, the board was hesitant to move along with the project due to possible new ownership of the Hillsboro Farmers Co-op. No permits will be given once word from board members or new business owners is given to the village as to go ahead with the demolition. A variance issue was agreed upon for Darrell Durkee building onto an existing deck. The reasoning for adding on and issuing the variance is because of water coming into the basement. The setback is 15 feet, which is just less than 13 feet from his lot line in which he wants to add on. Picnic licenses were approved for the Community
Club on August 30 for the annual Corn Bust, both legions for Labor Day weekend in Glendale Park, Legion Auxiliary for the tractor pull on September 3 and a legion request at the hall for a wedding on September 7. The board would like to thank the generous donations from KAACO and the Kendall Lions Club for $100 a piece to the Central Park upkeep. An operator’s license was approved for Channing Sanders at the Hidden Inn. The next regular Kendall Village Board meeting has been changed to Tuesday, September 3 at 7 pm with the upcoming holiday.

This bridge carries the Hillsboro State Trail, used for snowmobiling, cycling, and hiking. The project is located in the SW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 30, Township 14 North, Range 2 East, Village of Wonewoc, Juneau County. The existing timber bridge and as much of the concrete supports in the river as possible will be removed. A new 95-foot clear span bridge will be constructed using steel and treated lumber. Riprap will be placed around the bridge abutments to protect against streambank erosion. The Department has determined that the application is complete and is currently evaluating the applicant’s proposal. The Department must consider factual information about the following legal standards in deciding whether to issue, modify, or deny the permit: Whether the project will materially obstruct navigation, including commercial, recreational, active and passive forms of navigation Whether the project will be detrimental to the public interest, including fish and wildlife or their habitat, natural scenic beauty, or water quality Whether the project will materially reduce the flood flow capacity of a stream The Department will follow the steps below to reach its final decision on the application: 1. Review the plans and information provided by the applicant. 2. Review the information from public comments. 3. Review the information presented at a public informational hearing if one is requested. 4. Review the information found in natural resource inventories and plans, maps, or data collected by the Department or others using commonly accepted methods. 5. Determine whether the proposed project or activity complies with s. 1.11, Stats (the Wisconsin Environmental Policy Act), and ch. NR 150, Wis. Adm. Code.

Letter to the Editor our economy and many people's lives. Policy decides whether they are punished or not. Policy decides the tax payers will bail them out. Policy creates winners and losers. Policy also creates the 'entitled and privilege' few, and the rest of us. Those 'entitled' few feel that they should get federal tax payer money (Wall Street,Big Oil/Gas subsidies, Dow, Monsanto, Haliburton, etc.), and huge tax breaks. Policy allows big money off shore tax havens legally. Even out sourcing our jobs away. Policy allows this all. Policy decides if the polluters who are the looters of 'Our Resources' will pay clean up costs, or if it will fall on the tax paying citizens again! While they make out like thieves, without a thought about their impact. Privatizing their Profits, and Socializing their Losses for us tax payers to pay for their gain. Some policies are beyond local, state, federal policy and are global, but this in itself shows how seriously important our local, state, and federal policies are. Why did our state Government currently have the CDC suppress the Data on Lung Cancer in WI? Are the rates going up? Is our air compromised now by the sand mining industry, by particulates and silica? How can there be a ‘Gag Order’ on the CDC? Why did our state Government say the DNR can not consider the cumulative impact of wells and surrounding wells on the environment when it comes to high capacity wells? The sand mining industry came running in seeing Big Bucks. Wisconsin is Open for Business. Now we hear they were
Policy Does Make A Difference! I am sure you remember when our local area roads were filled with small family farms all up and down them in every direction. Hundreds, if not thousands of families working making a living off the land. What a wonderful way to raise a family! Policies in the 80's directly destroyed small family farms. It was the death knell of a whole way of life. The early 90's just completed it. Our elected officials walk hand in hand with policies that affect us all. Policy determines whether we have decent schools or not, decent roads, access to healthcare. Policy decides if your job is valued or not and thus how you are treated. Policy is the determining factor whether we have water, and not only water, but clean water. Policy decides if We The People are more important then Greed. If we have clean air to breathe. Policy decides if we will cherish or destroy wildlife, and our environment. Policy determines what sort of future we give to our children and children yet to come. People say, and even some of our elected officials I have spoken to, say "Oh, there is nothing that can be done, we can not change things." Nonsense, of course we can! Policy creates wealth ~ And ~ poverty. Creates the middle class and working poor. Policy allowed the housing bubble and the reckless greedy behavior of Wall Street to bring down

unprepared for all the rains that came this spring and therefore all 'Their' polluted flocculated silica silt ran off in our streams, wetlands, fish spawning areas, etc. They claim the rains were ‘historic and sustained’.While they were sustained, they were hardly historic! We also Know that the flocculent compound called polyacrylamide composed of acrylamide a known carcinogenic used in their sand mining process could leached in the groundwaters. Policy Makes A Difference, and we should always Look At It's Implications. We can demand a change, on the local level, on Every Level. These ways can move into Your Own Neighborhood before You Even Know It. No one is exempt. They expect us all to sit back and let them decide the future of this whole area without a ruckus from anyone. If you speak to any of them, they claim ignorance, or hold it as suspect, and dismiss you. Don't Let Them. Hold Them Accountable. They Are Accountable! Policy that puts Money before Lives ~ Is Bad Policy! We The People Deserve Better! Cinthia Davey, Kendall

Sometimes I just can’t win! It gets a bit on the discouraging side of life let me tell ya. So let me explain. After I do I think you will agree with me. All my life I’ve had a garden of some kind. As a kid, my dad always had a garden and we had to help weed it. Then I got married and no matter where we lived Ray and I always had a garden, be it a small one or a large one. I can’t imagine what summer life would be like without a garden and all the goodies it produces. While it’s true when we first moved up here it took a little while for me to figure out how to outsmart the deer and other critters I never had in the city, but I did outsmart them eventually. Or so I thought. There were also years when it was too wet, too cold, too dry, or too hot and we didn’t reap much from our garden. However we always had something to pick and eat. Well this year was a bit different. Because of Ray’s accident I by myself couldn’t properly dig a whole garden and almost gave up on the idea of having one. But then the stubborn side of me said, “No, you have to have a little garden. You have to have fresh tomatoes at least.” So I dug around what used to be strictly my flower garden. I knew I could dig that much and I would rather have fresh produce than pretty flowers, although I did manage to keep some of the flowers. I planted eight tomato plants and four zucchini plants. I thought the zucchini would sorta replace cucumbers because you can use them interchangeably. I wanted to plant more, like maybe peppers, onions, and broccoli, but it is a rather small area. I convinced myself it would be enough to just have fresh tomatoes and a few zucchinis. At least I would have some fresh produce. Plus I could say I had my garden. Well, it seemed to be doing quite well at first. I got some nice blossoms on the zucchini and after two days something nipped the flowers off. The plants still looked okay so I figured whatever was hungry enough to eat the blossoms might be satisfied. Well, I was wrong. Each time one of the plants got a blossom something nipped them off. Now I know you don’t get the zucchini if you don’t have the flowers but I was still hopeful. Whatever it was didn’t touch the actual plant, just the flowers. But zucchini is a strong
plant and I thought they would win in the end. They didn’t. Each time a blossom appeared, it disappeared the next day. So much for the zucchini. However I still had my eight tomato plants and they were doing quite well. I was very pleased with them. They got blossoms, and nothing nipped them off! Hurray, I’d at least have some homegrown, fresh tomatoes, my favorite fresh vegetable. Let me tell you I watched those plants better than a paid babysitter. Every day I’d check on them to make sure they were still doing their thing without interruption. Soon I had nice, small green tomatoes on the plants. I watched and watched but nothing nipped them off and they didn’t fall off or get bugs or rot or anything. We needed a bit more sunshine but eventually they started to turn color. Again I watched and salivated as I thought of how juicy they would be when ripe. Each day Ray would ask if I thought they were ready. Not quite yet I’d say, but this one is almost ready. On Sunday when we got home from church I looked at the one that was the ripest and said, “Tomorrow for sure. It’s almost perfect.” And tomorrow morning came and I went out to pick my reward and guess what? You already know don’t you? You’re right. My tomato was gone - not a sign of the thing. I was sure Ray picked it and was playing a trick. I asked. He said “No I didn’t. Honest I didn’t.” I searched all around the plant and that one lonely ripe tomato was missing. Gone! The others were still hanging there not quite ready to pick. I really didn’t know what happened to it. But it did make me feel like I just can’t win. First no zucchini and now my prize tomato is gone? Can’t be but it was. The next day all the ones that were turning were missing, I kid you not. I know the dogs didn’t pick them, I didn’t pick them and Ray swears he didn’t, so what happened to them. I did find out the next day and if you want to know stay tuned. But remember, I just can’t win. So until next week I’ll leave you with this NO-nonsense thought: Being challenged in life is inevitable; being defeated is optional. n Nancy J Schneider is a member of The Wisconsin Regional Writers Association and writes freelance.

Letter to the Editor I would like to respond the “Letter to the Editor” (Aug. 8) recently appearing here at The Messenger. In rebuttal to an earlier piece concerning frac-sand mining’s explosive growth in recent times in our area, and in particular, in Juneau County; Mr. Mike Erickson of MiningWeekly.com seems to be an “all purpose” mining advocate, however his rebuttal is obviously weak and biased. Please allow me to take the major arguments he made in order of appearance. His first argument, that “sand is being used for many things…” is true in general, but has nothing to do with the explosive growth of the frac-sand mining in large portions of Wisconsin and Minnesota, so no points for that one. It is simply an attempt to distract what feels like an “assault” to landowner’s who lose property value when a frac-sand mining operations opens up near to them. Henceforth, in his rebuttal, he is classically shifting issues back and forth in the previous writer’s expression of concern, from Hydraulic Fracking to Frac-Sand Mining. A claim to ground water ‘pollution’ from Frac-Sand mining may, or may not be, true, though that crit-
icism IS valid for Hydraulic Fracking itself, and that is where all this “new sand mining” is going. There have been documented ‘spillovers’ into streams, creeks and rivers during the heavy rains of earlier this year. This is surface water and to “rebut” that with a “when the rivers flood and silt is carried downstream, do fish die?” is to beg the question and the answer is “it all depends.” Why did the DNR go to the trouble of establishing wetlands and stream-bank easements along our traditional farming part of this community? It is because there was a recognizable negative impact when flooding occurred and silt was massively injected into the trout stream that borders my farm, from fields that had no established natural barrier. If there are protected, ‘silt-catching’ areas of grasses and wetland established, this minimizes the effect. No score there. Stating that “everything we have and do depends on two things: Agriculture and Mining” is incorrect, there is also tourism and the related service industry including the money that flows into this area every year from hunting. This rebuttal implies that the previous author does not value farming,
Taking Refuge
An Outdoorsman’s Journal
BY STEVE NORLING This week has been busy on the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge. The crew is still working on getting rid of spotted knapweed and other invasive species. These weeds are being sprayed with weed killer, mowed by mechanical means and hand pulled. Getting rid of these noxious plants is the only thing that matters. There is no way that we can let the invasive species take over the refuge. There are a number of things coming up on the refuge. There will be a troop of Girl Scouts coming to the refuge from St. Paul, Minnesota to visit. They are just coming to check out things and see how wildlife is treated here at the refuge. They will probably want to see some whooping cranes and most of the time that is not a problem. Our latest youngster is still alive and with his/her parents and they can be seen from one of the visitor center hiking trails on many occasions. I am sure the girls will enjoy their trip to central Wisconsin. Remember, Kara Zwickey is doing a program at the Necedah Public Library this Friday the 16th. The program is titled “Dig Into Reading” “Animal Architects”. Kara always does excellent with these programs and it will be well worth your while to take the kids or grandkids and take in the program. As with all programs that the refuge puts on, this is a free program. Just bring yourself and your curiosity and join in the fun. This will be about the library’s last summer program so the time to make sure you get some of the enjoyment is Friday. There are still openings for the Youth Duck Hunt Workshop: “Learn to Hunt.” This is a great way for youngsters, boys and girls alike, to learn more about waterfowl hunting. The workshop will cover waterfowl identification, duck calls, decoy placement, shooting demonstrations and gun safety refresher. Youngsters wanting to participate in this workshop must have completed a hunter safety course. You must pre-register for this event and the deadline for that registration is tomorrow, Friday, August 16th. The workshop will be held on August 31st. For more information or to register call Kara Zwickey at (608) 565-4412. I am sure everyone has heard about all of the wildfires out west, especially in California. A number of firefighters from Wisconsin are on their way out to California at this time to help fight those fires. Along with people from other stations, several of our fire crew and others trained in fighting fires are among those going to help in California. This is part of the inter-agency assistance among the firefighters working for various Federal agencies. We wish them well and pray that they all come home safely. There are still many beautiful things to see at the refuge. As summer is coming to a close and school is about to begin, now would be a good time to bring the kids or grandkids out to the refuge and hike a trail or two. There are many animals and birds that now have young trailing after them. Many of the deer that are seen have fawns with them and turkeys have several young with them as well. Then there are the swans and geese with their young and the young eagles that are just now beginning to fly. The whooping crane family can be seen many days and many other creatures of the forest and wetland. There are also many flowers that are blooming at this time of the year and a walk on some of the trails will allow you to see and enjoy them. As much time as I spend at the refuge I still find the Karner Korner gift shop an interesting place with an amazing variety of items for sale there. My special interest is in books and there is something for every outdoor lover. From picture books for the youngest to books by people like Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson and Richard Louv for us older citizens. And there are many, many field guides available also. Whether your interest is in birds, trees, butterflies, or tracks and scat or many other things there are field guides for you. For those with enough books there are cards, photos, paintings, jewelry, bird feeding equipment, tee shirts, hats and much, much more. It is a veritable wonderland packed into a small shop. Even if you do not purchase anything it is worth the time to stop and look. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”
which I personally know is untrue. No Score. Most egregious in Mr. Erickson’s rebuttal is what he does not rebut, or rebuts ineffectively; the end use of frac-sand mining, Hydraulic Fracking and what THAT is doing to our earth. The effect of ground water LEVELS on wells; remember, neighbors, this is just getting started on this kind of scale. Silica and fine particulates in the air is not addressed at all, and THAT seems purposeful. Large truck traffic and the effect on our local roads and who ends up paying for that (in my township, they want us to.) The nature of legislation that surround and affects our ability to have any educated say in what is surely an issue of great and lasting importance to our land, our State and our lives, THAT Mr. Erickson does not address at all.

Lots of Laughs on the Willow BY MARK WALTERS Hello friends, With this job that I have created, comes hundreds of friends that spend time with me on my outdoor excursions. One age group that I have a blast with is the 18 to 25 yearolds and in my case there are probably 40 that I travel with and either hunt or fish together. This past week I received a call from 24-year-old Joey Gillis, who this past May graduated from UW Stevens Point with a business degree. Joey is part of our annual Mississippi River duck hunt and this past April called me up and asked if we could do some serious hunting and camping together this fall. Joey Gillis was calling about fishing musky and camping on Oneida Counties, Willow Flowage, which in case you are not aware of it is as close to a Canadian getaway experience as you will get just north of Highway 8. Topping off our crew would be Curt Noreen, who is a senior at UWSP, and hopes to be receiving a degree this spring as a Fisheries and Water Management Specialist. Friday, August 2nd High 77, low 53 The last time that I camped on the Willow I was with Selina, who was ten at the time, and my golden retrievers Ice and Fire. We camped two miles by boat from a public landing and spent the weekend canoeing, cooking over the campfire, and snorkeling, little did either of us know that Ice had Anaplasmosis and would pass away a month later. Today, I met Gillis and Noreen at Stevens Point and we hauled my 16-foot MirroCraft and Gillis’s 16-foot jon boat that would be pushed by a mud motor, and still had his platform on it for shooting carp “good casting deck”. We made it to the same campsite, which is the one that Selina and I used back in 2011, rounded up some firewood, set up camp, (which in my case was a cot and no tent) and finished the day or should I say night by the campfire enjoying cold beer and talking hunting and trapping. This fall, Joey and I are going on a ten-day trapping, duck, and bow-hunting trip and I am really excited about that adventure. One of our guys got a lot more sleep then the rest of us last night, and today he was ready to fish musky and upped the anty from five bucks for the longest fish of the weekend to ten dollars against me, because Joey Gillis has a life long desire to beat me at something. Most of our day was spent drifting, and casting bays and shorelines for musky and northern pike. I had not seen either of my compadres for quite sometime and had not caught or seen a fish as I threw Suicks, Top Raiders, and a Johnson Silver Minnow. I went hunting for them and was told to approach slow and quite. Curt had seen a good-sized fish and Joey Gillis thought he saw something, but it was probably a stump or a weed. On my second cast, I caught a 21-inch northern pike, yeah me. A few minutes later I caught a 24, nothing to write home about but I was on the board. After that we explored the flowage and then went in for the treat of the day, which was a fine meal prepared by my good buddies. Any duck in the air is in trouble if, come fall, it flies over these guys and today they were really excited to cook marinated duck breasts that were put on toothpicks with cream cheese, jalapeno peppers, and wrapped in bacon. I was just about as excited to eat this meal, as I was to take Joey’s money in the big fish bet, and was I in for a shocker when I took my first bite.
One of the jalapeno peppers was incredibly hot and without hesitation there was nasty stuff coming out of every orifice in my head. My pals felt really bad for me and I also think that they thought I was being a wimp. The good lord proved I was not a wimp when this same affect happened to both Noreen and Gillis (not a pretty picture). The vast majority of this meal was incredible and I highly suggest it for any waterfowl hunter. The three of us fished together to end the day, laughed a lot, did not come close to seeing a musky, and we were sucked in by the campfire until well into the following day. On Sunday, we gave it our best shot to catch a musky, Curt caught a couple of small northern pike, and Joey Gillis is still living in his fantasy world of beating me in some form of a bet. I really enjoyed it when he handed me the TEN DOLLAR BILL! Thanks Joey! Sunset
