Arraignment for accused killer postponed BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD According to online court records, the August 28th arraignment of 29 year old Cody Treul has been postponed to November 4, 2013. Treul is charged with First Degree Intentional Homicide, First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety for the May 31st shooting behind PJ's Bar in Mauston which took the life of 29 year old Gail Howland and critically wounded 23 year old Ebony Lasher, paralyzing her from the chest down.

Judge Paul Curran had been assigned to preside over the matter but as of August 28th Judge John Roemer will be hearing the case. It is unclear in the documentation as to why the change of judges was requested and approved.

Arrests made in marijuana grow operation outside Mauston BY BETTY WAITS The Juneau County Sheriff’s Department carried out two arrests during a traffic stop on August 29th just after 8 p.m. in the city of Mauston in connection with a marijuana grow operation. Arrested were Derek Sykes and David Gassen, both 22 of Madison. The pair had
been tending the crop of approximately 35 plants just before their arrests. The grow was located off of County Road B in the town of Lisbon, just west of Mauston. Upon the traffic stop, Mauston Police Departments K-9, Kantor, located marijuana in the subjects’ vehicle. Other arrests are possible as residents in the area have witnessed more than two subjects, and different vehicles at the location over
the last several months. Both Sykes and Gassen have been charged with felony manufacture/deliver THC, misdemeanor possession of THC, and possession of drug paraphernalia. On September 3rd both were in Juneau County Court for bond hearings which they made by video appearance from the Juneau County jail in front of Judge Paul Curran. Representing the state was Assistant District Attorney Clifford
Burdon. Neither defendant had an attorney present and were provided with public defender notices. Judge Curran issued both defendants with a $10,000 signature bond and ordered no contact with co-defendants or the property owner where the grow was located. Further, they are ordered to have no contact with J. Johnson, not to use, possess, or consume any controlled substances without a valid prescription.
Officers made the arrests in the city of Mauston after two of the subjects left the location of the marijuana grow site.
Both Juneau County Sheriff Brent Oleson and Detective Ben Goering reported that they had received information that suspicious activity had been occurring in the area, which alerted them to the situation. Passerby's on the road had repeatedly noticed a car parked on the curve and a clear walk path into the brush. One resident also witnessed water buckets being carried down into the area from the trunk of a car. Over the last several months, many different cars were seen at the location. A search warrant was issued and served on August 30th at the location based upon the observance of suspicious behavior. This search warrant revealed the location of the marijuana grow. Sheriff Brent Oleson encourages anyone noticing suspicious activity of any
kind to report it. “It might be nothing, but to keep our communities safe, it takes everyone together,” he said. Juneau County Detective Ben Goering resonated the same sentiment by saying, “We are so glad when citizens of our communities call in information. We follow up on that and even when it ends up being nothing, sometimes it ends up being much more,” he said. Sheriff Oleson encourages citizens to call the crime stoppers hotline with information at 608-847-9123. Callers can remain anonymous and still receive a reward. David Gassen is scheduled for a September 11th initial appearance and Derek Sykes is scheduled for a September 25th initial appearance for these charges.

Friends and Family have good turnout for annual event BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD It was an all day event this past Saturday at the Travis Fitzgerald Park in Lyndon Station. The event is one that has become not only a tradition to those who attend it, but also a main fundraiser and awareness campaign for the Friends and Family Cancer Foundation. The day started off bright and early with a pancake breakfast and a 5K run/walk and a 10k run - from that point on the party was in full swing. Throughout the day there were games for children, and also for those not under 18. This year there was a youth talent show. Giggling Gil the Magician was on hand throughout the day to entertain the crowd and did so in various way including facilitating a tug of war contest. Children who were full of energy had a chance to bounce to their hearts' content in the bouncy houses. There was plenty of food and refreshments, and while attendees were enjoying their meals live music was provided by Drinkin' Man's Band. As the day started to give way to evening the annual balloon release took place. Each balloon released represented and honored a cancer patient. At this year's balloon there were 83 tributes set free to float in the sky above Lyndon Station.
ASSAULT, from page 1 Fischer is known to the child. Last week Fischer was in court for a three day jury trial where he was represented by defense attorney Jessa Nicholson. District Attorney Michael Solovey appeared for the State of Wisconsin with Audrey Skwierawski, Assistant Attorney General. Judge John Roemer presided over the matter. After three days of testimony including hearing from the victim's mother, and Juneau County Detective Tim Andres, jurors deliberated for just over five hours when they returned with their guilty verdict. Defense attorney Nicholson requested that the jurors be polled and all twelve agreed on the verdict as read. Judge Roemer ordered that a pre-sentencing investigation be conducted and while awaiting sentencing continued the $5,000 cash bond Fischer posted earlier this year in February. Fischer is not allowed to leave the State of Wisconsin, is not to have any unsupervised contact with females under the age of 18. However, incidental contact is allowed only if supervised by a third party over the age of 18. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled at a later date.

Mauston City Council approves donation of Busy Bee property to city BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD At the Tuesday, August 27th, Mauston Common Council meeting members voted in favor of accepting a real estate donation from the family of George Braund. The property in question has been a long standing icon in Mauston history, the Busy Bee on State Street in the heart of the City. Noting the condition of the property, which has been designated as uninhabitable, Alderman Floyd Babcock questioned the cost in razing the building. He then went on to comment he felt it would not be excessive, and that the "Big Bad Wolf could blow on it." Accepting the property would mean the city would incur the expense of removing the structure, however, it was felt that the city's Public Work Department may be able to handle the work rather than having an outside contractor. Mauston attorney Ray Feldman is representing the family. It was also noted that the property did not owe back property taxes.
Council members also discussed an adjoining lot the city owns which could be combined with the property if there was an interested party. When it came down to a vote there was a lone nay vote issued from new council member Steve Leavitt. Council members Dan May and Michel Messer were not present for the vote. Mayoral Proclamation During the Mayor's report to the council a special proclamation honoring administrative assistant Diane Kropiwka for her 21 years of employment with the city. Mayor McGuire stated that in addition to Kropiwka being employed with the city that this year she is a recent graduate of the Juneau County Advanced Leadership Program. As her project for taking part in the program Kropiwka formed a city choir. Referring to her participation in the program the Mayor stated that she was "a shining representative of the City." Mayor McGuire went on to state that Kropiwka has worked
behind the scenes and in doing so has made jobs easier for others. "She actively looks for ways to improve services," he said and then went on to state, "she defends and advocates for the city whether at church, home, or play." City Administrator Report In his report to the council, City Administrator Nathan Thiel had one item business to discuss. That item was regarding the shared taxi ride program and their application for a capital grant. Thiel went on to explain the item was a matter that is brought before the council on a yearly basis. Council members approved the application.

Phone Scam Numerous people have reported a phone related scam to authorities recently. The first report was the end of July 2013, and is still occurring, with the last complaint being called in on August 23rd, 2013. Elderly citizens seemed to be targeted, but could be occurring to anyone. A person calls and tells the person that they have either won in a contest, sweepstakes, Mega Millions, or have just won a car. They then ask them to send them a green dot card, money order, or a check to them to pay for the insurance on
the winnings. Usually it is and amount less than $5,000.00.The addresses they are telling them to send the money are to the following states and cities, Miami, Florida, Las Vegas Nevada, New Jersey, or New York. This has been investigated by local authorities and turns out this is a scam, Sheriff Spears asks that you do not give them any information or send any money, and to report this to your local law enforcement agency.

Can “Excess” retirement dollars help your grandchildren BY EDWARD JONES FINANCIAL SERV. National Grandparents Day is observed on Sept. 8. And although this “Day” is not as widely known as Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, it does remind us of the importance of grandparents. If you’re a grandparent yourself, you may be thinking of ways to help your grandchildren on their journey through life. One of the greatest gifts you can give them may be financial support for their college education — and one way you can help provide this support could be found in the distributions you receive from your retirement accounts. To understand how this technique might work, you’ll need to be familiar with the required minimum distribution (RMD) rules governing various retirement accounts. Actually, they’re pretty straightforward: Once you turn 70½, you’ll generally have to start taking withdrawals from your traditional IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan — such as a 457(b) plan, if you work for a state or local government, or a 403(b) plan, if you work for an educational institutions or nonprofit group. (If you have a Roth IRA, you are not required to take withdrawals at any age.) Your required minimum distribution is calculated by dividing the prior Dec. 31 balance of your retirement account by a life expectancy factor published by the Internal Revenue Service. As the word “minimum” suggests, you can take out more than this amount, but not less. You can use the money you withdraw for any purpose you choose. It may be that you need all of it to help support your
retirement lifestyle. But if you have enough money coming in from other sources — such as Social Security and any investments held outside your retirement accounts — you may find that you don’t really need to use every dollar from your RMDs. And if that’s the situation, you might want to devote some of this money to a college fund for your grandchildren. Or you could simply give the funds to your grandchildren’s parents and let them decide how best to employ it for college. But you do have other options. For example, you could establish a 529 plan and name your grandchildren as beneficiaries. With a 529 plan, any potential earnings accumulate tax free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (Keep in mind, though, that 529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% IRS penalty.) Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible from your state taxes if you participate in your home state’s plan. However, 529 plans vary, so check with your tax advisor regarding deductibility. In all likelihood, you’ll be able to contribute as much as you want to a 529 plan, because the lifetime contribution limits are generous — although these limits vary by state. Plus, a 529 plan is flexible: If your grandchild decides against an eligible college or vocational school, you can generally transfer the unused funds to an eligible family member. A 529 plan is not the only college savings vehicle available to help your grandchildren; for other possibilities, you may

Two of the Royall FFA members who helped with the ceremony this year were Seth Wohlrab and Kevin Sugden. Also participating in the ceremonies but not pictured were Katie Sugden, Rainelle Jones, Jacob Kolodzinski, and Joshua Kolodzinski.
Several Royall FFA members participate in the local fairs by showing animals that they have raised in their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs. These members put a lot of time and effort into these projects and they take great pride in exhibiting them at fairs. FFA members in the dairy project who exhibited at the Elroy Fair were (l-r) Erica Murray, Hana Weber and Allyson Stanek.
Other Royall FFA members who exhibited in the dairy project were first time exhibitors Wrangler Jones (2nd from left) and Rainelle Jones (far right). Both of these individuals put a lot of time and effort into training their animals.

A triangular meet that teamed up schools BY STEVE NORLING On Thursday, August 29th the Necedah Cardinal Girl’s Volleyball team sponsored a Triangular Meet. The participants were; Mauston, Alma Center Lincoln, and the Necedah Cardinals. This was the first time this year that any of these teams had played in competition. The triangular is set up as a best of five series for the teams. First up was Lincoln
Necedah Cross Country BY MARK HORBINSKI On Tuesday, our Necedah CC team opened the season in Westby at the 8 team Ken Trott Invitational. Not even a balmy 92 degrees with a heat index of 97 could slow us down! The boys team had a particularly strong showing and finished in 4th place. Trey and Tripp Horbinski led the way by finishing in 2nd and 3rd place respectively out of 75 runners and were each medalists. They were followed by Shayne Torrey (19th), Anthony Seebruck (31st), Dylan Mercer (41st), and Cameron Stewart (46th). Sean McNally also saw his first action. On the girls side, we had 3 competitors. Kristin Darnell led the way with a 10th place finish out of 47 runners and in the process, set a new school record in her very first cross country meet and earned a medal. Rounding out our squad was Abby Deguire (21st) and Sarah Torrey (46). Please congratulate the kids if/when you see them on a job well done in tough conditions. Next up, we travel to Viroqua (Thursday, 9/5 - 1:45 dismissal) followed by a trip on Saturday (9/7) to Darlington.
against Necedah. In the first game of the set Necedah pretty much dominated and wound up winning by a 25 – 14 score. The second and third games were a little more evenly matched. With the score seesawing back and forth. Both of these games were much closer at the end with Necedah Cardinals winning both the second and third. The score of the second game was 25 –
23 Necedah and the third game was 25 – 22 Necedah. As Necedah had won three games the match between Necedah and Lincoln was over. Next up was the set between Lincoln and Mauston. This was a different series entirely. From the first serve on, it was all Mauston. The first game was the same as Necedah’s first game against Lincoln going

Chiropractic!
On September 18, 1895 the first chiropractic adjustment was given by Dr. DD Palmer to Harvey Lillard. Mr. Lillard, a janitor in Davenport, Iowa, was nearly totally deaf for 17 years. After the historic first adjustment, Harvey's hearing returned. This revelation, led Dr. Palmer to theorize that nerve interference from a spinal bone out of place was the cause of Harvey's hearing loss and that returning the bone to a more normal position might help correct the problem. It was from this simple beginning that the chiropractic profession was born.

to Mauston 25 – 14. The second game went to Mauston by a 25 – 10 score and the third game was also won by Mauston 25 – 13. Now it was time for the Mauston Necedah match-up. While from watching the first two sets, it looked like Mauston would definitely have the upper hand. That was the thought but that was not exactly the way it worked out. You could see from the first game of the match that these two teams were well matched. With the score going back and forth the first game went to Mauston 25 –23. The second and third games rarely found more than one or two points separating the two teams. Both of these games wound up with a score of 26 – 24, both won by Necedah. The reason for the twenty-six point games is that a game has to be decided by two points. Both times when twenty-four was reached it was a tie and two more points were needed. The fourth game was nip and tuck until late when Mauston made a run and took the game 25 – 21. This brought
up a fifth game to break the stalemate of two games each. This fifth game would be played to fifteen points. Mauston got off to a great start and could not be caught and wound up winning this game 15 –8. All in all this was a great triangular meet with three great teams playing some excellent volleyball. The Necedah Cardinals should be congratulated for excellent play. The starters; Morgan Brown, Courtney Nugent, Lacey Winters, Morgan Kubicek, Cheyenne Sterbenz and Kristen Darnell all played an excellent game. Libero Michaela
Horak and all of the substitutes also added a great deal to the team. A great way to open another year of volleyball. On another note, while these games were going on the JV and C squads were each playing best of five series. The JV squad won three in a row and settled that. The C squad not only won three in a row, they won the second game by a score of 25 –1. A great looking future for Necedah volleyball.

Roughly 40 past royalty Queens and Court attendants gathered together on a float and waved to the parade crowd just like they did during their own past royalty. The past members were introduced during the Hillsboro Fireman’s Labor Day Pageant and were able to see who was crowned the 2013 Queen and Court attendants. The pageant goes as far back as 1959. Many had commented that the annual celebration keeps on growing each year and had thanked the fireman for all of their continued efforts of putting on the yearly event.

Are you looking for a way to add some exercise to your fitness plan this fall while having fun doing it? Marilyn School of Dance in Tomah is coming to Hillsboro and can help you with that goal. Starting Wednesday, September 18th and continuing until Wednesday, October 23rd, beginning dance lessons in three styles will be available for the general public. One-hour lessons will be offered at Hillsboro Brewery each Wednesday night at 6:00, 7:00, and 8:00 PM. Brenda Sonnenburg, a ballroom dance teacher at Marilyn, will be offering classes in swing, nightclub two-step, and Rumba. No special skills are needed—just the desire to learn something new while having fun. St. Joseph’s Memorial Hospital Foundation approached the school in conjunction with its February 2014 dancing event (details coming soon), and Brenda offered to travel to Hillsboro to provide lessons to participants as well as the general public. Dancing is her passion, and she hopes the people in the area will come out and take advantage of this special opportunity. For further information and to sign up, call St. Joseph’s Memorial Foundation Board member Barb Potter at 489-3549.

What America needs more than gun control is “conscience control”. Gun control that would involve confiscating all people’s guns would be unfair to decent, law abiding citizens. Furthermore, it would be impractical since it would be difficult, if not impossible, to enforce. No matter how many rifles and pistols the government could confiscate, there would always remain a huge supply of guns in the hands of criminals and terrorists. However, common sense gun control could greatly help... such as more thorough background checks and stopping the sale of assault weapons which are really not designed for hunting, but rather for mass-murder. Guns of course can be usedc for the good purpose of hunting, target-practice, self defense and at times, when necessary, to kill the enemy in war. Murder, sorry to say, is nothing new. Cain slew Abel even though guns did not yet exist. So you see, murder indeed is nothing new: it is just made much easier with the use of guns. This brings us back to the original concept of “conscience control”. How do you curb murders committed by gun use or the use of any type of weapon? It must start by teaching youngsters at a very early age to respect life!
The Fifth Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill”, should be taught to children from small and engrained in their formative minds. And it should be taught in the home as well as in the schools! Will we ever stop all murder? No, of course not. Unfortunately, there will always be those “Cains” who are willing to murder people including their own brother. If all the guns in the world were destroyed, men would resort to using swords, knives, clubs, or whatever weapons they could fashion in order to carry out their dastardly, cowardly deeds. It is my opinion that murder can at least be curtailed through proper moral teachings. I also believe mass-murderers should receive the death penalty because, contrary to popular belief, I personally feel that capital punishment is a strong deterrent to other maniacs who might be contemplating killing innocent persons. The bottom line here is that America (and the world) needs conscience control along with common-sense gun control. Respectfully submitted, Bernard J. Traciak New Lisbon, WI

Letter to the Editor That seems to fit my situation quite well, as long as you realize I consider myself an editor, and not a professor. I still have a full half interest in the Messenger, but health problems have forced me to allow my two partners to take over some duties I felt should be mine. I might add that right now I feel in better health than I have in several years, and time will tell how active I am in the business in months ahead. All three of us are long-time Juneau County residents, dedicated to the future of the county and to making sure it has a newspaper that reports the news as accurately and interestingly as possible, and treats each community within the county as the separate entity it is. The ownership of the Messenger remains entirely within Juneau County, as do our loyalties. We have no obligations outside the county, and you can be sure any profits we make remain in the county. So, although it really does not change much of anything, I kinda think I like my new title, and I shall enjoy it. And thank you for your support.
BY BILL SMITH I doubt if many of you noticed it, but last week there was a change in the box that appears on page 2 of the Messenger each week to list those responsible for bringing you the newspaper. For the first time it listed this writer as "editor emeritus." I can remember first suggesting the idea of that title years ago when we were struggling to make sure the Messenger came out each week. I said that if we succeeded I should have the title "editor emeritus." Although I expected the newspaper to prosper, I was not sure I would survive to ever gain that title. When I made that offhand comment years ago, I was not quite certain what emeritus meant, but it sure sounded classy. Last week I looked it up on the internet, and found the following definition: "A full professor who retires in good standing may be referred to as a professor emeritus. This title is also given to retired professors who continue to teach."

I don’t know if I’m doing a late spring cleaning or an early fall cleaning. Probably a late spring cause I was rather preoccupied this past spring. At any rate I got the “cleaning and tossing” mood and I worked hard all week. I even got rid of some books which is not normal for me. It looks a lot better. However, now the problem is remembering where I put what. When I start moving things around it’s hard to remember where I put it. I have enough trouble remembering where things are without moving them. So why move them? Because at the time I’m cleaning it seemed like a good idea. Me and my good ideas can sometimes lead to trouble I assure you. If ever I decided to try to get in trouble the world wouldn’t be able to hold me. I never try - trouble just happens - and it’s usually because it seemed like a good idea at the time. At any rate this time I got brutal in my tossing. Problem with that is you gotta look at everything before you toss it. Now that can make a simple cleaning task last a long time. I found stuff I forgot I had or some stuff I knew I had somewhere but didn’t know exactly where until I started tossing. Bottom line is when I have to stop and look at everything I don’t throw as much as I would if it was someone else’s precious stuff. Then again I wonder why I kept so much of this stuff. It means next to nothing to anyone but me. Then the little voice in my head says something like, “You’ve kept it this long a little longer won’t hurt.” The other side of me says, “Ya, but do you really want to leave all this mess for someone else to clean up when you die?” That may be easier. Whoever gets the wonderful job of cleaning up when I croak won’t have to read everything, all they have to do is toss it. It won’t mean anything to them. Unless I hide precious, really precious, things inside all these papers and books like bank books or hundred dollar bills. Then to make sure they didn’t miss anything they’d have to go through it piece by piece. Mean aren’t I? Did you ever notice that it’s a lot easier to clean up someone else’s stuff than your own? I know Ray wouldn’t have any trouble toss-
ing ninety percent of my stuff. Possibly I wouldn’t have much trouble tossing ninety percent of his stuff either. It’s just that it’s important, or precious, to the one who owns it. But I will admit to being a sort of “pack rat” and I know I shouldn’t keep all this stuff. But how do I toss things I wrote? How does one toss papers that have notes on them that may be important to remember later? And what about all the little sayings I jot down when I read them cause I may need them some day? Or what about some of the groups I used to belong to years ago that had familiar names and things we discussed back then? I guess if it’s stuff I haven’t looked at or read in over a year I don’t need to keep it. I really shouldn’t start reading all this stuff because once I read it I want to keep it because it meant something when I wrote it. Helps the memory bank and some of this stuff brings fond memories. Maybe toss the old memories and make new ones is the answer. However that means that in a few years I’ll have to go through the newer stuff and try to decide what to keep and what to toss. I guess this good idea isn’t quite fool proof. Or maybe just keep the memories in my head and not on paper. Easier said than done I assure you. I need to write things down. Problem with that is I sorta forget where I put it once it’s written down until I start sorting through it to toss. Anyone who is more disciplined than I am wouldn’t have this problem I guess. Don’t keep it in the first place then you won’t have to decide what to keep and what to toss. But right now I have all these papers to read and travel down memory lane while I’m doing it. I guess that’s not such a horrible thing after all. It’s my mess and I enjoy digging through it. Give me someone else’s mess and I can get through it in no time. So until next week how about this NOnonsense thought: Starting tomorrow whatever life throws at me I’m ducking so it hits someone else. n Nancy J Schneider is a member of The Wisconsin Regional Writers Association and writes freelance.

THE MESSENGER OF JUNEAU COUNTY

Letter to the Editor As a public official, Knuth has a responsibility to the Township taxpayers, even if it means many of his friends will be forced to swallow the REAL cost of snow removal. Several local snow removal contractors have not voiced their opposition to the Town of Plymouth’s snow removal practices because they fear “reprisals” fron the Town Chairman, the Town Clerk, and other Town residents who benefit from the low cost program. So, the Town of Plymouth is faced with a trio of options: 1. Charge the residents who want the Township to continue to remove snow from their property the same fees as the private contractors. 2. Township residents, who do not use the Township’s snow removal service, receive a discount on their property taxes in an amount equal to fees charged for snow removal by a private contractor. 3. Discontinue the practice of using tax funded and public employee operated equipment to snowplow private driveways. Is this a snow job? You be the judge. Terry W. Ward
Now THIS is a snow job... While many residents of Juneau County paid from $360 to over $1,000 for snow removal last winter, a select group of Town of Plymouth residents paid a one-time charge of $130. And the Town of Plymouth removed the snow with tax funded equipment operated by public employees, to boot. For decades, all but one Local Township has spurned snowplowing private driveways. Townships recognize their responsibility to plow their Town’s roads and understand the real cost of snowplowing private properties. The cost of taxpayer funded equipment and manpower is recognized by Townships which understand their real cost of fielding and funding snow removal equipment. This past winter, a dozen snowfalls faced local residents. Private snow plowing contractors offered their services based on driveway length and ease of plowing. Their charges ranged from $30.00 to $70.00 per visit, which translates to residents paying from $360 to $840 over the 2012-2013 winter season. Residents who opt to maintain their own drives and roadways invested thousands of dollars in snow removal equipment for their own properties. But what of the $130 annual charge for snowplowing selected residents in the Town of Plymouth? It is apparent that the beneficiaries of the Township’s largess come at a cost
to other Town residents. The Town “explains” that they will plow private drives which “meet the specifications” of Township road agents and Town Board members. It appears those residents who are friendly with or related to Board Chairman Rodney Knuth and Town Clerk, Betty Manson; have a far better chance to “meet the specifications”. In short, the Town of Plymouth uses tax-funded equipment and manpower as they see fit. This causes a distinctly distateful situation. Private contractors who plow snow as their business are aware of their cost of doing business. A minimum “in and out” task is literally a “break even” at a charge of $30.00. Given the Town of Plymouth’s predatory pricing, the private contractors face unfair competition from a public agency that has no business offering their services to the public. Additionally, the Town of Plymouth’s use of tax-funded equipment and manpower to compete with private businesses is at least ill-advised and unethical. The Town of Plymouth needs to accomplish their mission of clearing snow from Township roads. Residents of the Township are responsible for their own property. The Town Chairman was asked, before witnesses, to request a legal opinion on the Township’s snowplowing policy. To date, Rodney Knuth has not done so.
Taking Refuge
An Outdoorsman’s Journal
BY STEVE NORLING More things are beginning to happen at the refuge as fall approaches. Duck banding has begun and a lot of wood ducks have been banded. Most of the wood ducks that have been banded so far are juveniles. There have been a number of adult males banded but very few adult females. There will be no problem with meeting this year’s quota of juveniles and probably not much of a problem with meeting the adult male quota, but as things stand now it does not look good for meeting the adult female quota. Also the mallards have been conspicuous by their absence. We may be hard pressed to make that quota too. The week of August 26th a weeklong crane meeting was held. All of the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership (WCEP) met in the conference room at the Necedah National Refuge each day. The main discussion was what the crane project is going to do next year. Various locations for releases were discussed along with how the releases would take place and how many birds would be involved. Cost was also a big factor in the discussion. If I find out more next week I will let you know. This has not been a great year for waterfowl. With the very wet and very late spring, many waterfowl did not get to nest at the proper time. While each year there are usually many cygnets born to our trumpeter swan pairs, this year very few have been seen. I personally have not seen any and many of the staff have not seen any either. There have been two reported sightings on one of the pools that there are two families there. I do know that there were many nests that failed. I guess it is not only crane nests that fail. There are also not the usual number of mallard families this year. Nor are there as many Canada goose families as normal either. Another thing that the late spring may or may not have caused is the fact that only one eaglet was born on the refuge this year. Where normally we have at least three known nests, this year there was only one. That nest only produced one eaglet but that is because we believe that this was the first year that the parents nested. We may have had a wet spring but now the weather has turned dry and some of the pools are low on water. Pool one, which was lowered this year to promote growth of plants for diver ducks to feed on, has to be filled soon and the water levels above it are not the greatest. Everything depends on nature and nature does not always cooperate. Trapping permits for trapping on the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge are now available. They may be picked up in person or you may contact the refuge and have a packet emailed to you. The applications need to be filled out and have to be back at the refuge by 4:00 p.m. Friday, September 13th. At that time they will be verified, approved, and entered into a lottery. There are six units that will be drawn for and the persons drawn will be notified. The application package contains special “refuge specific” regulations, trapping area maps, the 2013 water management summary and the application itself. Youth participating in the trapping program may enter the refuge with their mentor. For further information contact Katie Goodwin at (608) 565-4403 or email her at katie_Goodwin@fws.gov. Coming up on September 14th is a program titled “Geocaching 101” this will be a program for beginners on virtual Geocaching. This is a great high-tech treasure hunt and a new worldwide recreation sport. This is a program for beginners and you will be learning how to use a GPS unit and how to explore the refuge with it. There will be a number of handheld GPS units available at the refuge but if you have one you are encouraged to bring it. If people request it the day of the event there could also be a low-tech scavenger hunt. The program will run from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. As I stated this program is aimed at beginners and as with all programs at the refuge this one is free of charge. Come on out and enjoy. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”
Prepping a Young Lady for the Hunting Season BY MARK WALTERS Hello friends, As I write this, we are less then 72 hours away from the opening of the early goose season and about two weeks away from the opener of bow season. This week I am going to write to you about what I have been doing to get my 12-yearold daughter, Selina Walters, ready for what is going to be a very busy fall. Last year, Selina told me that she was seriously interested in getting into the sport of bow hunting. For myself, the decision on exactly how to go about properly introducing Selina on bow and arrow education and then where to purchase a bow was one of either go to a large chain type sport shop or a privately owned sport shop. About 8-years ago the folks at M&M Sport Shop in New Lisbon, Mike Wanderle and Jenny Hanson, did an excellent job of introducing my stepson Travis into the world of archery. Though I love to bowhunt I am exactly like my buddy Jeff Neitzel says “A jack of all trades, master of none”. Jenny Hanson is well aware of my weaknesses and first recommended that I purchase a Mission Craze by Mathews, which I purchased and just as importantly, Jenny taught my daughter how to shoot her new bow. M&M has a Techno Hunt video archery system, as well as, a standard indoor range. With Selina’s bow rigged with a lighted site, a case that Selina personalized at home, and a dozen arrows, Jenny Hanson began giving classes that are standard with a purchase. In between classes, Selina practiced at home and since July 20th Selina has gone from being able to shoot comfortably at 23-pounds to 38 and that will be going up to 40-pounds very soon. I wrote a month ago about planting a food plot for Selina and I to hunt in this fall. The oats and soybeans need rain and the deer are tearing them up. The rape, radishes, and brasseca need rain as well, but are holding their own. Yesterday, I purchased a bag of rye to plant where the soybeans and oats used to exist. This weekend, Selina and I are going on a canoe, camping, and goose hunting trip. The biggest preparation for that trip has been routinely have Selina shoot clay pigeons. If you have not raised or taught a young hunter how to shoot flying objects it is hard to understand. Ten to 14-year-olds do not have the body for it to become simple to have the swing on a clay pigeon, goose, or pheasant. Practice and patience is the only method that works. Three weeks from today about a dozen of us head over to the Mississippi River for the opening of duck season. This will be Selina’s second year of waterfowl hunting and it made my day a couple of week’s ago when out of the blue she told me that she was really looking forward to that trip. The shooting of clay pigeons is going to make that experience which is centered on camping, hunting, friends and family even better. Five weeks from tomorrow Selina and my favorite KAMO Kid, Jamie Bistodeau are heading over to Stevens Point for a camping and hunting trip that will take place during Wisconsin’s Youth Deer Hunt. Joey Gillis will be guiding Jamie on his family farm and I predict that hunt will be a blast. Then, in late October and early November I will be going on a ten-day trapping and hunting trip. If Selina wants to, I will bring her along for a couple of days to teach her about
the very cool sport of trapping. Hunting camp trumps everything that I just mentioned and that is where The Red Brush Gang gets together for the nineday deer gun season and pegs out the fun meter every waking moment of the day “and night”! Keeping a balance between school (Selina is bummed when she gets a B) and her friends is something that her outdoor writer dad is very careful of. In writing this column and realizing all the trips that I have without Selina, it becomes very clear for me why I am as run down as buck after the rut once December arrives. Play with your kids in the outdoors and they will be your life long friends when they are adults. Sunset
