Two arrested after counterfeiting money BY BETTY WAITS
Michael Delaney
Jury trial to begin for former Necedah pastor BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD In Monroe County Circuit Court on Tuesday, the five day jury trial for Michael Delaney was scheduled to begin with a jury selection. Delaney, a former Necedah area pastor and now resident of Monroe County, is facing one count of 2nd degree child sexual assault and five counts of child enticement/sexual contact. According to the criminal complaint the alleged victim, a young male, claims the abuse began when he was just 13 years old and continued throughout many years. The victim told investigators that Delaney would use threats of telling people he was "gay" if the young man told anyone about the abuse and that he would use quotes from the Bible as reasons and justification for the sexual assaults. The complaint states: "Delaney would justify his behavior by telling *** that in biblical times men would look at each others' penis and that when Peter and Paul were in the boat all were fishing naked. *** said that Delaney also told him that if he ever told anyone about the abuse that people would not understand, that it was okay in the Bible. The abuses that alleged to have occurred include numerous occasions of fondling, forced oral sex, exposure to pornographic material of male homosexuals.
The Elroy Police Department obtained and executed a search warrant on Wednesday, October 23rd at an Academy Street address in the City of Elroy. The warrant was obtained after a witness reported being with the couple that lived at the address and witnessing them counterfeit $20 bills. The witness explained to the Messenger that he was with the couple in their car running an errand when they handed him a stack of $20 bills and asked him to count it and confirm that there was $1,200. After he confirmed it, they asked him if it looked ‘legit’. At that time he took a closer look and realized that the money was
not real, however, he reported that it did look real unless you closely examined it. After running the errand, the group returned to the residence where the witness saw more sheets of the fake money where they were still cutting it off the printer paper. The witness become concerned that he had counted the money and his fingerprints would also be present. Before leaving the residence he snuck one sheet of the money and then called police to report the incident. As a result of the search to the residence, 23 year old Katie Wood and 22 year old Matthew Testa were placed under arrest. Three $20 counterfeit bills and a sheet of copied money were
recovered. The pair had used an all in one copier/printer/scanner to create the money. The search also revealed a metal pipe, a glass pipe with THC residue, a needle and spoon, and some marijuana they had attempted to flush down the toilet. Both subjects have been charged with felony forgery, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Both remain in the custody of the Juneau County Jail on $2,500 cash bonds and probation holds for previous offenses. They were both further ordered to have no contact with the other and no possession or consumption of any controlled substance. Both are

The incident remains under investigation by the Elroy Police Department, Juneau County Sheriff’s Office, Mauston Police Department, and the Secret Service.

New Lisbon man charged with 8th OWI after striking several vehicles BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD A 42 year old New Lisbon resident, David A. Cox, has been charged with an 8th offense of operating while intoxicated. He is also facing a hit and run charge as well as resisting an officer. According to the criminal complaint on October 23, 2013 at approximately 2:30 p.m. Officer Kyle Walker with the New Lisbon Police Department was dispatched to the intersection of West Bridge Street at Division Street for an accident where a red pick-up truck had struck several vehicles. Upon arrival, Officer Walker noted a vehicle matching the description had extensive front end damage and was parked in the roadway of Division Street. In the driver's seat of the truck was a white male who was slumped over, that male was later identified by his fiance as David Cox. Bystanders on the scene reported the driver in the truck had struck several vehicles and left the scene of the accident. Officer Walker approached the truck and,
according to the report, needed to shout at the driver before Cox became aware someone was speaking to him. Cox allegedly raised his head and mumbled that he was okay. Officer Walker wrote that Cox's breath had a strong odor of intoxicants. After asking Cox to step out of the vehicle Walker reported that he needed assistance in steadying him to help keep his balance. When attempting to escort Cox to Walker's squad car, Cox reportedly tensed up and began to lean back away from Walker. He was told he was not being arrested, but rather detained, but according to the report, Cox continued to tense up attempting to pull back from the officer. He was ordered to stop resisting and was told he was now being placed under arrest to which the report states Cox refused to follow directives. With the assistance of a Wisconsin State Trooper who arrived on the scene, Cox was handcuffed and placed under arrest. According to a witness, Cox was first observed in the area of the Body Shop. His truck was on Leer Street, stopped, and approximately five feet
into the roadway on West Bridge Street. At one point the truck was observed leaving the road onto grass and then coming back on the road crossing the center line into the opposing parking lane. Cox was transported to Hess Memorial Hospital where he submitted to a blood draw and then transferred to the Juneau County Jail. The report goes on to state that Cox has had a total of seven previous convictions of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, three of which occurred in 2010 in Minnesota and Eau Claire and Sauk Counties. On Thursday, October 24, Cox appeared before Juneau County Circuit Court Judge Paul Curran where he was placed on a $10,000 signature bond along with the condition of absolute sobriety. He is scheduled for a November 20, 2013 initial appearance. According to online records, Cox remains in custody of the Juneau County Sheriff's Department for what appears to be a probation hold.

Kidnapping was false report BY SHERIFF BRENT H. OLESON The Juneau County Sheriff's Office has determined that the sexual assault reported to the Sheriff's Office on September 24th did not occur. The seventeen year-old female who reported the incident initially stated she was jogging when she was forced into a silver SUV type vehicle by a male between the age of 30 and 50. She further stated that she was taken to a wooded area, sexually assaulted, and then returned to the original location she was forced into the vehicle at. The female alleged the abduction occurred on Koval Road just east of the Village of Lyndon Station. The victim gave a description to a sketch artist who compiled a drawing of the alleged attacker which was released to the public. A timely, in-depth investigation was conducted as a result of the complaint, inclusive of additional patrols in the area by officers in both marked and unmarked squads. In followup interviews the victim made inconsistent statements. On October 22 the seventeen year old advised a Detective that she fabricated the incident so she would not get in trouble for being home late after meeting a boy. The seventeen year old will be charged with filing a false police report. While I am pleased and happy the incident did not occur, it is extremely frustrating that the false report was made. These investigations tax the resources of both small and large agencies alike and are very costly. I want to thank the public and other agencies for all their assistance in this matter. The one good thing that did arise out of this matter is the fact that the public in general was more willing to contact the Sheriff's Office or their local Police Department when they observed suspicious vehicles and/or people. Additionally, more parents spoke with their children about what course of action to take if they were approached by a stranger. We are fortunate that we do not see these types of crimes that often. This results in us being lax and careless. I encourage the public to continue to make reports of suspicious persons or vehicles in the future.

Parent was alarmed by photos on Facebook not realizing students were in a class BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Tracy Vieth of Mauston said she was shocked when last week she viewed a picture of one of her daughter's friends on Facebook that seemed to show off weapons, including a bayonet. In the picture, Vieth stated, it was obvious the young man was standing in a classroom at the Mauston High School. "I just do not understand how this is allowed," stated Vieth. She went on to talk about how jarring the image was to her especially since in recent national news there had been reports of yet another tragic school shooting. Vieth stated she was in contact with other local parents who were just as stunned as she was. Through research, the
Messenger learned there were similar pictures recently posted on Facebook by some other Mauston High Students, all of which were taken in the school and while attending a class on Modern American War. Some of which were acknowledged and "liked" by the teacher of the class. In a phone interview with Principal Jim Dillin, he stated he had spoken to two parents within the last week who issued complaints and concerns about the pictures. "I understand their concerns. The unarmed weapons are brought in by the National Guard as part of the curriculum. Students are able to see the weapons and in some cases hold the weapon so that they have an understanding on what soldiers dealt with, such as in
Vietnam when they were on foot and needing to carry their weapons and supplies. The kids can feel just how much weight they needed to haul," stated Dillin. Dillin went on to state that when he received the calls he stepped back from the situation and looked at it through the eyes of a parent. "The pictures on Facebook are concerning, I see that and especially in the light of school shootings across the country. I talked to the students and teacher about the dangers of social media and how things can appear to others. They will not be allowed to take pictures posing with the weapons," he said. Dillin went on to state that having the National Guard come in is a valuable tool for students, including provid-

program, but respect for our veterans is what the students learn about," stated Dillin. In years’ past the Messenger had done an article on the class. Any weapons that are a part of the particular lesson are
unarmed. Further, safety was a top priority. Vieth said she is still concerned about having weapons in the school especially if other parents are not aware they are allowed in for the class.

Mauston man charged with possession/intent to deliver narcotics BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD A 30 year old Mauston man, James Hillyer, has been charged with felony possession of schedule IV narcotics with the intent to deliver under the modifier as a repeater. According to the criminal complaint on October 26, 2013 officers Eric Sanner and Chad Bailey with the Mauston Police Department responded to a call on a possible drug deal that would be taking place in the parking lot at Reel Brother Harley Davidson just north of Mauston. The caller stated that a relative of James Hillyer gave pills to two juvenile males on bicycles and that the youths were on their way to the Harley Davidson dealer to make a deal. The officers made contact with the young males and recovered a bottle of 20 Clonazepam from one of the youth's pockets. According to the complaint the Juneau County Sheriff's Office will be investigating the matter further. The complaint goes on to state that shortly after clearing the incident at the Harley Davidson dealer's parking lot the same informant called dispatch and advised them that James Hillyer was on his way to Walgreens via a bicycle to sell Clonazepam. The officers made contact with Hillyer in the Walgreens parking lot. Hillyer allegedly told the officers he was going around town picking up half smoked remnants of cigarettes from ash trays.

The officers informed him that they had information he would be at Walgreens to sell the pills. Hillyer is alleged to have responded, "yeah but you stopped me before I sold them so I didn't do anything wrong." He was placed under arrest and transported to the Juneau County Jail.

Elroy American Legion to host potluck Dinner CONTRIBUTED
Veterans Day is an official United States holiday to honor all people who served in the armed services. Its origins go back to World War I – the war to end all wars! Toward that goal of honoring veterans, the Elroy American Legion and Legion Auxiliary are hosting a Potluck Dinner. On Tuesday, November 12, at 6:00 p.m., the Legion and Auxiliary members encourage community members to bring a dish to share and an opportunity to thank area veterans while breaking bread together. Originally proclaimed as Armistice Day on 11 November, 1919, what is now known as Veterans Day was proclaimed a legal holiday in 1938. It was to be “a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be celebrated and known as ‘Armistice Day’.” The term armistice refers to the temporary cessation of hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany that went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and
Thanksgiving. In addition to displaying flags, the people of the United States are encouraged to observe Veterans Day in schools and churches and other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other people. What more suitable place to encourage friendly relations while recognizing veterans for their service than the Elroy American Legion Hall? What more logical way to host a public meeting and give thanksgiving than the American tradition of sharing food? The Legion and Auxiliary will NOT be conducting a service like they do for Memorial Day (a day to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice). The purpose of this event is to provide a casual opportunity to socialize and to join area veterans and thank them for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. After World War II and the Korean War, it was veterans groups that are credited with promoting the name change from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. Please plan to celebrate Veterans Day by joining our local veterans group for an informal public gathering and potluck dinner and an oppor-

Fourth annual Night Without a Home raises over $3K BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Last Friday evening cardboard boxes lined New Lisbon City Hall parking lot. Inside those boxes were children, students in the New Lisbon G.I.V.E. organization. Those boxes were their shelter for the night and while the temperature outside remained above freezing, the wind was a fierce reminder that winter is on the way. It was a hands on lesson for the students on what it is like to be homeless. A lesson they actively took part in as part of the 4th Annual Night Without a Home awareness campaign. The event first began in New Lisbon during the 2010/2011 school year when high school student, Carley Haschke, started her senior year after a summer attending a student leadership summit. With help from her teacher, Julie Mecikalski, the New Lisbon Annual Night
Without a Home event was created. Utilizing the G.I.V.E. organization, under the guidance of Mecikalski and teacher/advisor Rachel Morey, the goal was to bring awareness to the plight of homelessness while also raising funds for local organizations who assist those experiencing needing shelter and resources. As part of the event the students take part in activities such as tying blankets and then donating them to the organization they are sponsoring. They discuss homelessness and learn from speakers, as well as watch documentaries or movies on the plight of their cause. In the morning they awake to a breakfast provided to them by the New Lisbon Lions Club. Students taking part are asked to receive sponsorships for their participation. In that first year the event raised over $2,700 dollars, all of which was given to the
Lend a Hand program. This year the total raised from the event comes in around $3,000 and once again is being donated to the Lend a Hand program. The Lend a Hand program falls under Circle of Hope Juneau County and the work and efforts they have been providing to the county since November of 2009. The small, but all volunteer, organization works with low income families in providing resources, items of need, and shelter when they have the funds available to do so. In 2012 the organization spent approximately $8,800 in placing 80 Juneau County residents into shelter at area motels. Those stays ranged on average from three to five weeks. In addition to providing shelter, when funds are available, the organization will work to prevent homelessness in helping with security deposits and/or rental payments. For more

Mile Bluff honors Janell Haske In 1997, Janell Haske joined the Mile Bluff team. Over the years, Janell has worked in various positions within the Mile Bluff organization. She began as an acute care nurse and then moved over to work at Crest View Nursing Home. Since 2007, Janell has served as the Patient Care Staff Director at Mile Bluff Clinic. She oversees patient care employees and the electronic health records support staff at Mile Bluff Clinic, and also supervises the employees at all of the outreach medical centers. “I initially came to Mile Bluff to expand my horizons and to use my clinical nursing skills after college,” explains Janell. “When the position at Mile Bluff Clinic became available, it gave me the opportunity to work more closely with our healthcare providers. I’ve always enjoyed working with them and I think we have an excellent group of providers at Mile Bluff. I’ve really enjoyed building relationships with the medical staff over the years.” In discussing what has kept her at Mile Bluff, Janell believes that it comes down to the people she works with. “I think that co-workers play a big part in how happy people are at work. If you have great co-workers, it’s easy to come to work,” explained Janell. “I’ve always had good people to work with, no matter what position I have filled here at Mile Bluff.” “My staff is great too! Whether it’s nurses or the healthcare providers, I’m very proud of them. I really appreciate all of the work that they do and I like helping them be successful,” says Janell. “Whether it’s a team of providers, patient care staff members, or registration staff members - just to name a few - it makes work a lot easier when it’s a team effort.” Janell also plays an integral role with NextGen, the clinic’s computerized medical records software. “Electronic health records really help us focus on teamwork and education in our organization. We’ve been working together to educate employees on using the program.” Over the years, Janell has appreciated the opportunities that Mile Bluff has provided to her. “If you’re a nurse in the Mile Bluff organization, you can work in many different positions throughout your career, while staying within the system. You can go from working in a hospital setting to a nursing home if you want to. In the nursing industry, people can get burned out because of the long hours, but there are so
Mile Bluff Clinic’s Patient Care Staff Director Janell Haske, is proud to be a part of the Mile Bluff Team. many different avenues nurses can take in our organization to avoid that. You can explore; you can find your niche.” Janell is just one of the many individuals who is proud to be an employee at Mile Bluff. In an effort to share the stories of these people, each quarter the organization will highlight a staff member - such as Janell - who wants to share his/her story about working at Mile Bluff.

NRCS offers conservation practices Due to the recent government shutdown and 16-day closure of USDA Service Centers, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has extended the signup deadline for their most popular program. Farmers interested in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) now have until Dec. 20 to apply for 2014 funding. Applications are being taken at all USDA Service Centers in Wisconsin. EQIP is the primary program available to farmers for farmland conservation work, offering payments for over 90 basic conservation practices. “EQIP – the Environmental Quality Incentives Program - is still authorized through a continuation of the old 2008 Farm Bill,” said Jon Field, District Conservationist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service in Mauston. “Our office is now open and we are working on the backlog of requests as quickly as possible.” All eligible applications received by Dec. 20 will be evaluated and ranked for funding in 2014. Contact the NRCS office at the USDA Service Center in Mauston to apply. Mr. Field reminds farmers who are interested in signing up for practices that may require state or local permits, such as manure storage systems or streambank restoration, should begin planning and seeking per-
mits as soon as possible. Applicants with permits already in hand are ranked high priority for funding; those with permits in process are medium priority and those without permits begun receive low priority for funding. Special sign-up opportunities are also now open for On-Farm Energy, Organic, and Seasonal High Tunnel conservation practices. All three initiatives offer technical and financial assistance through the NRCS’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). *On-Farm Energy: NRCS and producers develop Agricultural Energy Management Plans (AgEMP) or farm energy audits that assess energy consumption on an operation. Audit data is used to develop energy conservation recommendations. The Landscape AgEMP assesses equipment and farming processes. The farm headquarters AgEMP assesses power usage and efficiency in livestock buildings, grain handling operations, and similar facilities to support the farm operation. Examples of energy conserving practices available include conservation crop rotation, legume cover crop, and no-till planting. * Organic: NRCS helps certified organic growers and producers working to achieve organic certification install conservation practices to address resource concerns on organic opera-
tions. *Seasonal High Tunnel (Hoop House): NRCS helps producers plan and implement high tunnels - steelframed, polyethylene-covered structures that extend growing seasons in an environmentally safe manner. High tunnel benefits include better plant and soil quality, fewer nutrients and pesticides in the environment, and better air quality due to fewer vehicles being needed to transport crops. More than 4,000 high tunnels have been planned and implemented nationwide through this initiative over the past two years. Supporting conservation practices such as grassed waterways, and diversions are available to address resource concerns on operations with Seasonal High Tunnel structures. Wisconsin will receive additional funds this year to address conservation needs in the Driftless Area. The Driftless area includes southwest Wisconsin as well as the adjacent portions of Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. The focus will be to reduce soil erosion and improve fish and wildlife habitat on the working lands, woodlands, prairies, and cold water streams in the Driftless Area. Farm and woodland owners in the Driftless Area may apply by Dec. 20 for financial assistance for conservation practices in 2014. Many practices are available depending on the land use and conservation need. For
example: *On cropland: grassed waterway, field border, grade stabilization *On pasture: prescribed grazing, watering facilities, fencing *On forestland: forest stand improvement, forest management plan, tree/shrub establishment *On prairie/savanna: conservation cover, prescribed burning, brush management *For cold water streams: streambank and shoreline protection, stream habitat improvement and management Interested landowners should contact the NRCS office at the USDA Service Center in Mauston at the Courthouse Annex, 220 LaCrosse St. or 847-7221.

They need your votes! The Now iDance the Extra Mile team – made up of NOW 92ONE, iLEAD Charter School and Mile Bluff Medical Center – is competing in the 2013 Medline Pink Glove Dance video competition. To promote breast cancer awareness, the team produced a video that features 164 participants wearing pink medical exam gloves while dancing to the Sara Bareilles song, Brave. As part of the competition, Now iDance the Extra Mile is also working toward the goal of raising more than $2,000 in support of Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation’s Women’s Night Out event. “We had a blast making the video,” stated team spokesperson, Kathy Behnke. “Not only did we get to bring attention to the importance of mammography in the fight against a disease that has touched so many of our lives, but we also got to take a few moments from the busyness of life to simply just have fun.” Those who attended the recent Women’s Night Out event in Mauston got a special sneak-peek viewing of the video. “We are really proud of what we’ve put together, and the response so far has been great. I can’t wait for everyone to get the chance to see our video…and to vote for it” exclaimed Kathy. “If our video gets the most votes, we win $25,000 for a breast cancer charity; what an amazing opportunity to have!” Last year’s winning video received nearly 15,000 votes, and Now iDance the Extra Mile hopes to top that this year. Voting is open from noon on October 25, through November 8. The contest winners will be announced November 15, with the winning team receiving a $25,000 donation in its name to the breast cancer charity of its choice. The second place winner will get to give a $10,000 donation, and the third place team will win a $5,000 charitable donation. To help the Now iDance the Extra Mile team, go online and vote for its video October 25 through November 8. During the voting period, you can cast a vote once a day for each e-mail address you have. Please vote often, and ask your friends to do the same. Help your local team make a difference! How the voting process works: * Go to pinkglovedance.com and search for the video under Now iDance the Extra Mile or Mile Bluff Medical Center. * Enter your e-mail address where it’s required, and the voting system will send a link to that e-mail address. * Check your inbox, and respond back to the link you receive in order to verify your e-mail address – that will count as your first vote (e-mail verification is only required for the first time you vote per address). * You can then vote once per day for each e-mail address you verify, as described above. Watch milebluff.com and the Mile Bluff Medical Center Facebook page for updates. A direct link to the team’s video is expected to be available soon. For questions about how to help Now iDance the Extra Mile, or to find out how you can purchase the pink shirts that are featured in the video, call Kathy at 608-847-2736.

Don and Joanne Slama, owners of the three stores, believe that in order for this area’s longstanding agricultural community to continue to thrive, attention needs to be focused on tomorrow’s ag leaders.

Running into the record books and onto CC State Championships BY TASHA MUELLER On Saturday, some of the fastest runners competed for a top finish in order to advance to the WIAA State Cross Country Meet. Area high school cross country runners traveled to Westby for the Division 3 Sectional Meet. As area high school teams pushed through the cold and strong winds Saturday morning, for some the running season wasn’t quite over with yet. Beginning the day was the girls’ 4,000-meter race and with 86 participants, Hillsboro was able to welcome home a state runner. Sophomore Breanna Beaver was able to edge on by with a fifth place finish, making her the first ever female state qualifying cross country runner for Hillsboro to compete in the state completion. Beaver ran a time of 17:00 and ended the race with an 8th place finish. Teams Westby and Melrose-Mindoro both advanced onto the state meet with enough runner scores to advance together. As both of these teams already advanced, the first, third, and seventh place-finishers all contributed to team finishes, which moved Beaver’s place up to fifth. Beaver’s competition included Brookwood’s Brianna Nelson, as the Falcons team finished in third-place with 92 points, Kari Beckman of
Pittsville, Megan Skoyen of Osseo-Fairchild, and taking the championship was Angie Zenke of Luther. New Lisbon’s senior Kayla Gregar finished just two seconds short of Beaver’s time, unable to qualify for state. Teammate Kelsi Gregar ended the day with a time of 17:36. Hillsboro runner Adriana Reese crossed the finish line with a time of 17:47, Michaela Bach in 18:35, Macey Brown in 20:03, Destiny Shore with a few seconds behind at 20:09, and Kelly Parish in 24:22. The Hillsboro girls’ team score tallied up to be 157 points, placing the team in sixth position, edging a competitive Blair-Taylor team. The boys’ 5,000 meter race proved to be more of a competition with a tough Brookwood team that just gained the conference title a little over a week ago. With 104 runners within the race field, area runners had to run their best with the cooler-than-normal fall temperatures. State qualifying veterans Logan Rohn and Noah Mayberry continued in their tradition and were able to make it past the sectional competition. Another first for the Hillsboro Cross Country team included Rohn to become the school’s first to qualify for state for the third consecutive season. Rohn finished in eighth place overall in a time of 16:49. Edging by the competition, teams Westby and Brookwood were the top two to qualify for the

team for state. Runners from both qualified teams landed in first, fourth, and sixth-place advancing Rohn in the fifth-place finish. Teammate Mayberry will be making his second state appearance with a time of 16:27 receiving a second-place finish. Ahead of Mayberry included Necedah’s Trey Horbinski landing in the first spot with a time of 16:21. Brother and teammate Tripp Horbinski wasn’t too far behind in a time of 16:34 and placing in third. Dray Schreiber of CochraneFountain City gained the fourth place finish. Other Hillsboro runners that finished out the sectional race include freshman Zach O’Hair in a time of 18:31, Charles Strait with 18:39, Avery Rueckheim in 19:35, Skyler Fisher with 19:46, and Mitch Beckwith rounding out the team in 20:58. The Hillsboro team ended the meet with a score of 151 points placing them in the fourth place team finish. Necedah gained the sixth place position with a team score of 185 points. These five individuals from the area will be running in the 101st WIAA State Cross Country Championship held at the Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids this Saturday, November 2. The girls will run at 11:30 a.m. with the boys competition for the state title in Division 3 at 1:15 p.m.

Evans offers local products at Hofmeister Ins. BY TASHA MUELLER With continued discussion on how Obamacare will affect the uninsured, no one is able to give a direct answer as to what the rates are or which insurance company should be the best to choose. At Hofmeister Insurance, with the main office located in Hillsboro, many of the agents are trying their best to help answer the questions that many have with the looming change at the beginning of the New Year. Not only are the agents available for help, a new Life, Health, and Annuity agent, Terri Evans, is available to the local community with any questions regarding the change, plus many more insurance products to offer to the area. Evans, who became a licensed insurance agent in 1998, has been serving the southwest Wisconsin area ever since then and grew up around Viola and graduated from Kickapoo High School. Currently, she lives in Readstown and began working in Hillsboro in late
September. With growing up in the area, she is ready to serve the needs of the community. “What I’m bringing to the community is the goals of asset and retirement protection,” stated Evans. With goals set to grow a solid Life and Health insurance product base, Evans hopes the core products will offer more versatility to everyone’s needs. Products Evans specializes in include all life products consisting of Burial Trust, Fixed and Indexed Annuities, Long Term Care, Individual and Group Health Insurance, Dental and Vision Plans, Disability Insurance, and Medicare Supplements. The number one goal for Evans working in the Hillsboro area is to take care of people and make each individual feel like one of her own family members. “With people looking for insurance products, they should feel like they’re being taken care of. I want them to feel like they are in good hands by treating them just like one of my
family members.” The determination for Evans is to uplift the annuity department at Hofmeister Insurance and to let individuals know what is offered within the product. Her main focus is to specialize in helping individuals 55 and older looking for plans, but it is offered to help anyone in search of the products. Evans began her agent work at the Ozark National Life and NIS Financial Services, and continued to be the top financial advisor for Anchor Insurance Services. She then opened her own business at Ameriprise Financial Services and has specialized in indexed annuities since 2004. One item that Evans is Federally and State Licensed in is the Market Place, which will help individuals go in the right direction while searching for insurance companies. “I want to find the best products and rates that are out there,” said Evans. See HOFMEISTER, page 13

Also, Evans is busy double-majoring Psychology and Social Services and hopes to continually expand her licenses to accommodate the needs to everyone. Hofmeister Insurance Agency serves the insurance needs of individuals and families and the insurance needs of businesses and farms in Vernon, Juneau, Monroe, Sauk, and adjacent areas. If you would like to set up an appointment with Terri with questions regarding any of the offered products or if you find signing up for insurance through the Market Place is still rather difficult, you may call the office at 608-489-2441 or by email at tevans@mwt.net. Any of the agents are more than willing to help with insurance related questions. Stop down to see someone with any type of concern.

Wolves hit roadblock against Tigers BY TASHA MUELLER
The Wonewoc-Center Wolves volleyball team finished off their season with a tough loss from the Hillsboro Tigers during the WIAA State volleyball tournament during the Regional Final on Saturday night. Many of the players and fans figured they would eventually match-up with the Tigers during the tournament season. And while many believed they could again give the Tigers a loss, the goal was stopped short with a 3-2 for the Wolves. The Wolves and Tigers split their regular season matches this season. Wonewoc-Center took the first match-up 3-1 at Hillsboro before falling to the Tigers at home, 3-2. So the regional final deemed the biggest game of the season. Wonewoc-Center was able to take control with a 25-17 win in game one to the number one-seeded Hillsboro Tigers, but were able to make a comeback in game two suffering a 2514 loss. Game three went back in possession of the Lady Wolves
for two wins resulting in a 25-1 finish. Within game four, the game plan seemed to be a bit closer after the Tigers were edged to extra points to tie up the match-up 2-2 and gaining the second win 27-25. In the fifth game, the Tigers were able to pull ahead and become the regional champions with a 15-11 win. Wonewoc-Center’s Emily Tracy led the Wolves in kills with 14 tallied. Carly Shore added 23 assists as Madeline Benson chipped in three aces and Madisyn Makal led with six blocks. Hillsboro’s Kelsey Skala led with five ace and 24 assists. In a back-and-forth opening game, the Wolves took their first lead 13-12, but fell behind 18-16 before rallying to take a 21-20 lead and force a Cardinals timeout. The Wolves were able to take the early win 25-22. In game two, Bangor jumped out to a 6-0 lead before W-C were able to rally back by a long run of strong serves from Kalli Harris. Harris gave the Wolves their first lead 8-7 with
an ace during a run of 12 straight points for the Wolves and put them up 18-8. Emma Schumann ended the game with a kill giving the Wolves a 25-10 win and a 2-0 advantage. Game three kept to be a close game early as the Lady Wolves were able to break away to a 13-10 lead. The momentum kept going for the team and the Wolves received the win 25-15. Schumann led the way with nine kills, Tracy added 15 assists, eight kills and five aces. Shore was able to add 10 assists as Harris finished with eight aces. In the first game of tournament play, Wonewoc-Center was able to pull ahead of La Farge with 3-1 win, 25-21, 21-25, 25-15 and 25-17. The host Tigers improved their season record to 23-8 after pulling out the victory over the Wolves. Next up for Hillsboro is number one-seeded Cochrane-Fountain City, as the Lady Tigers will travel to CFC on Thursday evening. CFC is coming off of a 3-1 win over Gilmanton. Game time will begin at 7 p.m.

In the Loop... I love Halloween. I have always thought that Halloween was the best holiday of the year. Think about it. You can dress up however you want to funny or scary, famous, or just plain weird. Everything is acceptable, because it is Halloween, after all. When you rang the doorbells of strangers (provided their outside light was on), you were rewarded with candy, popcorn balls and the occasional apple. Unlike other holidays, at Halloween there is no expectation of "good behavior." In fact, a few pranks were tolerated. If you wanted to hang out with people, there were parties. If you wanted to stay home, that's what you did, AND you only had to see your relatives if you wanted to! Like many other holidays celebrated in America, our Halloween customs are borrowed from
old harvest and ancestor celebrations. To my way of thinking - as summer turns to winter, Halloween is a good chance to dress up as a princess or a zombie and give the weather one good PPPPPFFFFLLLLLLTTTT! This is what is happening at the LaValle Library for Halloween! 4:30 - 7:00 p.m. - The library will be open and Trick or Treaters are encouraged to stop by for a Free Book and a Town Treasure Hunt Map! It's our second year of a Local Treasure Hunt. The map will lead to several friendly houses in LaValle to pick up a token. Find all of the Tokens, return to the library and turn them in for some great prizes! Also, For the LAST time this year! The LaValle Corn Maze will be open! Tickets are $5 for kids 6 and over. All of the money goes to help fund new
Ballpark Lighting, Friends of LaValle Library and the Art D'Tour. It is going to be a SCARY Maze. A big bonfire, s'mores, and other tasty treats will be available.

Letter to the Editor the nearby Oakdale mines. Just a few days ago I talked with an Oakdale resident who told me of the constant layer of dust on everything, the persistent noise of construction equipment and bright lights about the site. He stated that the mine officials there said measures would be taken to assure this would not happen, but everything is still covered in dust. I wonder how many bogus promises the OTB and JCB swallowed from mining officials during their inadequate approval process. Wisconsin Administrative Code and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) have a fugitive dust control plan to reduce or eliminate all sizes of dust emissions but several previous articles quoted the DNR’s inability to enforce them. Thanks again. But this is just the above ground issue. Did these boards consider the village’s well water supply that comes from an underground aquifer? We don’t know because we had no representation. Sand filters ground waters making them drinkable, but they are removing the sand. Processing the fine silica from the sands requires a lot of water. Where are these post processing waters going if not filtered by the existing sand bed? Thanks again. Juneau County is not an overly affluent area and Camp Douglas is no exception. Since I moved here 17 years ago, previous and present village boards have tried to improve our town by encouraging new responsible businesses, developing an industrial park and a new housing addition, on the east side of the village incidentally, to attract families to the vil-
On behalf of the 600 citizens in The Village of Camp Douglas, I would like to thank the Orange Township Board (OTB) and the Juneau County Board (JCB) for the inclusion and consideration of our community in your decision to permit a sand mine operation less than a half mile from the Camp Douglas Village limits. Oh wait, you didn’t. At a recent Camp Douglas Board meeting, a citizen asked of the board, who on the board was invited or attended any meetings that led to the approval of the encroaching sand mine? Her answer came as blank stares from the board members; the board had no input in the process. So a decision having impact on the physical health and financial well-being of an entire Juneau County community had taken place without any local elected representation of the people most affected by its outcome! Thanks again. Despite repeated articles reporting on the health dangers of airborne silica resulting from the surface mining of “Frack” sand, these boards neglected to consider the 600 people living immediately downwind of the evolving mine. As I drove past the ongoing excavation a week ago, noting the dust cloud high in the air above, I am reminded of several articles stating that airborne silica can travel miles on the wind. This dust cloud occurred during the removal of top soil at surface level. Imagine the prevailing easterly winds carrying sand from the coming processing towers and escalators, dropping sand from 75 feet or higher, as can be observed at

This year it seems like we have more wasps than usual. Of course this adds a bit of stress to my life - not because I’m afraid I’ll get stung - but because I’m afraid Ray will get stung. He is highly allergic to bee and wasp stings. I just don’t need to be rushing him to the ER because he got stung. He’s well aware of his allergy, yet persists in going where they are or trying to smack them. It is a constant battle around here. “I’ll get it Ray just leave it alone!” And then he’ll say something like, “Well I don’t want you to get stung” which is very noble of him but I’m not allergic. Yet he insists he can swat it and be ok. Then I have to swat him to get out of the way and proceed to kill said wasp. Even the dogs are a bit paranoid about the sound of a wasp! Anyway I was reading one of my little nonsense type books and came across this poem that I just had to share. There is no author so I can’t give credit except to say I didn’t write it. “Said Mrs. Wasp to Mrs. Bee ‘Will you a favor do for me? There’s something I can’t understand please ma’am explain it to me. Why do men build you a house, and coax you to go in it, While me your cousin, they’ll not let stay near them for a minute? I have a sting I do confess and should not like to lose it, But so have you and when you’re vexed I’m very sure you use it.’ ‘Well,’ said the Bee, ‘to you no doubt it does seem rather funny. But people soon forget the sting of those who give them honey.’ ” When I read this I knew I just had to share. It is quite cute and there’s probably more truth to it than they realized when they wrote it. Most folks like honey. Some folks are willing to get stung to obtain said honey. I personally buy mine from a store all neatly packaged and labeled with no threat to getting stung. It sort of reminds me of Pooh Bear and his quest for honey. I can’t recall him ever getting stung, can you? Maybe I missed that part. At any rate he is definitely
willing to get stung to get the coveted honey. And so here we sit on our old homestead. In winter there’s too much snow, ice and cold to enjoy the outdoors. In summer it’s too hot and buggy to enjoy the outdoors. Now that it’s fall, the season I most enjoy, I can’t spend as much time outdoors as I’d like because of the wasps. It seems like the place is jinxed or something. Then again maybe it’s just the way we are reacting to such things. I know I wouldn’t worry half as much about the wasps if I didn’t have to worry about Ray being a brave hero. I know his intentions are good, but I really do not need anything like that to happen. I do not want to go back to the emergency room with him for any reason. Although I would if I had to but I sure don’t want to. So why is it so hard to convince him to just leave them alone? I guess it is a “guy” thing, acting brave and saving the damsel in distress. Hah! Get over it. I’m no damsel and I’m not in distress, at least not over wasps. While I don’t want to get stung, I would survive a whole lot better than he would if he got stung. He swells up like a water balloon within minutes. You’d think he would remember that and stay as far from them as he can, bravery forgotten. He thinks my getting stung would be a bad thing - so how do I convince him that worrying about him getting stung is a whole lot worse. If he wants to reduce my stress, then let me squash the little buggers. No I don’t enjoy getting stung. No I would rather we didn’t have them buzzing around all over the place. But I sure as shootin’ don’t need him to conquer the nasty little buggers because with his luck it would sting him before he squashed it. Soon there will be snow on the ground, which I’m not really looking forward to by itself, but snow and cold does mean dormant wasps. That I look forward to.

lage. Residents such as myself have invested much time and monies improving our properties as an investment in our village and our own futures. Where is that investment going to get us now? How appealing is it to live down-wind and adjacent to a sand mine destined to depreciate our property values and standard of living? The mine developers made several local land owners wealthy after being invited in but what about the village residents. Should we be expecting reimbursement for lost property values, increased healthcare cost and the loss of outdoor enjoyment from the Mining Company, or is that coming from Juneau County and Orange Township? Thanks again. Earth movers are rolling, dust is rising, and the damage to our little village is increasing daily. I encourage more residents to speak up, contact your elected officials and try to put a stop to this injustice. Whatever agreement these three parties have come to, seems rather invalid if all parties concerned were not invited to the discussion and ensuing contract. I sincerely hope the Juneau County Board and the surrounding Orange Township will step up and take responsibility for the damage being done, such as neighboring counties are trying to do. By the way, has anyone else seen the efforts in Madison to take sand mine regulation away from local authorities? I guess that would only affect local authorities that actually care. Thanks again. Randy Hoeth, Camp Douglas Resident

Hope House’s 30th Anniversary In addition to being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this October marks Hope House’s 30th anniversary. Hope House provides free services to people affected by domestic/dating violence and sexual assault and works to prevent these issues through community education in Juneau, Adams, Sauk, Columbia, and Marquette Counties. Services include a 24-hour helpline 1800-584-6790, supportive counseling, legal assistance, shelter, support groups, information and referrals, safety planning, and more. In 1983, Hope House started as the Sauk County Task Force on Domestic Abuse. For the first five years, shelter was only available through a network of volunteer “safe homes” in Sauk County. In 1988, the first family stayed at the 4-bedroom shelter that the task force purchased. In 1997, the organization changed its name to Hope House of South Central Wisconsin as more counties were requesting services. In 2000, Hope House formally changed its mission to reflect the inclusion of services for sexual assault survivors. In 2011, Hope House moved its shelter and office into a recently purchased and renovated space at 720 Ash Street in Baraboo making it the first time the shelter was in a disclosed location. Unfortunately, the need for services continues to be great. In 2012, Hope House served over 1,700 people through the helpline and with shelter and advocacy services. We answered over 3,600 calls and provided shelter for 93 families. We turned 47 families away because our shelter was full when they called. Our staff also facilitated 354 presentations and trainings to youth and
Taking Refuge BY STEVE NORLING Well, the shutdown is over and the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge is once again open. I will be writing the next couple of columns kind of blind as I took a job driving forklift for the cranberry harvest. I am currently working six days a week, ten hours a day. This does not give me any time to get to the refuge when the visitor center is open. So I hope all of you can bear with me as I finish the job I took. Another week and perhaps two, and the job will be over. The shutdown caused at least two programs to be cancelled. They were the National Wildlife Refuge Week “Nature Infused Art” program as well as the Jr. Duck Waterfowl Hike. These programs will probably not be rescheduled as it is getting too late in the season. The next program upcoming will be on Saturday, November 9th. This program is part of the Refuge Wildlife Series. The program for November is titled “Whooping Cranes”. Here you will learn how nests are monitored and how the first year of parent rearing on the refuge went. You will also find out how the sandhill adoption project went. If all went well it could be the greatest news in the whooping crane re-introduction project. If we can bring hatched birds out and let whooping cranes raise them it would be great. If we could replace eggs in the nest that we knew were fertile and close to hatch time that would be even greater. So if you are interested in the whooping crane project, be sure to mark November 9th on your calendar. The program will take place in the visitor center from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. I am sure it will be a great program and I hope to be there also. Now that all of the refuge is open again I think it would be a great time to go out and check out some of the migrating birds. One afternoon, coming home from work on highway 21 shortly after 4 p.m. I had to stop and watch approximately five hundred sandhill cranes coming from the south and flying into the refuge. This was an awesome sight and now is the time that they are forming flocks and even larger flocks will soon be seen. There are also bound to be geese, swans, ducks, and other waterfowl and shorebirds that are still coming through. The two places I would go would be Sprague/Goose Pool and the Observation Tower. Both of these areas seem to be excellent areas in which to see wildlife. For you photographers, the place I would go is to the photo blind along Lupine Loop hiking trail. This blind overlooks one of the ditches feeding Goose Pool and there is a good amount of marsh there. The other photo blind, along The Boghaunter Trail could also be good at this time of the year. There are a number of hunting seasons open now including: bow deer, squirrel, cottontail rabbits, ruffed grouse, turkeys, and other game. Check the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for all open seasons. You will also need to check the regulations for the refuge. For instance, the only areas open to hunting at this time are the areas marked zone 2. There is no lead shot allowed on the refuge. This includes when hunting upland game as well as waterfowl. The only lead legal to use on the refuge is a single projectile, such as a shotgun slug during gun deer season, other rifle ammo during deer season and .22 rifles for rabbits or squirrel. There are other special regulations for the refuge also and everyone that hunts there should be familiar with the hunt/fish brochure that is available. These are available at the kiosks as well as at the visitor center. For those of you who go to bird watch or to hike, wear bright colors and be careful during the hunting seasons. There has never been a problem but it always pays to be safe. Having an orange vest on over your coat or other clothing is a sensible way to go. These safety vests are very cheap and they weigh next to nothing. You will always be able to be seen. I do a lot of photography and like to dress in camo. However, now when I go out to photograph, I wear blaze orange. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”
adults on topics related to domestic and sexual abuse. In honor of our 30th anniversary, Hope House staff and volunteers assembled and distributed over 700 goodie bags for our community partners – schools, churches, libraries, hospitals, human services, law enforcement, prosecution, and more. Bags contained information about services, promotional items, and candy. Hope House cannot provide the services we offer without the support of the community and so we want to say thanks. This October Hope House is also joining with other domestic violence programs around the state by implementing the Lantern Project. From 20112012, at least 89 people died in Wisconsin as a result of domestic violence. For our part in this statewide project, we added a purple memorial wreath to the lamppost in front of Hope House and will turn on the light for a week every time there is a death related to domestic violence in Wisconsin. We will post information online about the person that was killed. If you drive by our building and see our lamppost on, please reflect on the deadly impact that domestic violence has on our communities. As October comes to a close, consider the ways you can get involved with raising awareness and supporting survivors. Information is available at www.HopeHouseSCW.org. Save the date for Hope House’s annual fundraiser, Journey of Hope, on March 11, 2014 from 5-9pm at Trappers Turn Golf Club in Wisconsin Dells. -Jess Kaehny, Community Education Coordinator, Hope House

An Outdoorsman’s Journal
Duck Dog Challenge BY MARK WALTERS Hello friends, If you were floating in my brain you would know that my thoughts are all over the map. Dogs, ducks, deer, cutting firewood, raising my daughter, and putting up food that I grew this year. This fall the above situations are all on my mind a lot. I love to duck hunt just about as much, if not even more, as I love making meat out of a healthy whitetail deer, buck, or doe, no cares, always quality. My golden retriever, Fire, is three in a few days and has gone through two hunting related setbacks. The first was when she was 9 months old and her pal Ice died. Ice died in August and Fire went into a severe depression during her first hunting season. With help from friends we worked through that. This fall Selina’s cat had kittens and Fire stole them from the mother cat, grew breasts and would not come out of her dog/kitten house. When I took her duck hunting and told her to fetch ducks she totally ignored me. The kittens are all given away and I think Fire is normal again. I picked the backwaters of the Mississippi River, near Trempealeau, for a duck hunt and sleep over to test my dog, actually Selina’s dog. If Fire failed, I was going to be purchasing a male by March. Thursday, October 17th High 57, low 36 Here is the scoop, I am living out of my canoe, paddling the backwaters south of Trempealeau, and have an afternoon and then a morning to hunt. I ice fish and winter camp this area, but still managed to get myself a bit lost today as I paddled over four miles, and in that time only saw four ducks. I did find about a two-acre pond in a sea of wild rice and knew that if there were any ducks in the area they would work this pond. The first thing that I did was create my nest, which was a matter of paddling my canoe to dry land, knocking over a bunch of rice, putting a tarp on the ground, and my sleeping bag on that. There was rain in the forecast and so I covered my entire camp with a brown tarp and then headed out for the afternoon hunt where I knew Fire would do an incredible job if I dropped a duck. Hunting ducks out of a canoe, or should I say shooting at ducks out of a canoe, can be a challenge, balance is an issue! First thing I noticed was that there were quite a few mud boats passing by which I could not see, but could hear. Second, Fire wants to curl up in a ball and sleep when we are hunting! Today I would have her sit, the dog is incredibly observant if sitting and often sees ducks before I do. Long story short, very little action, test not complete. I head to my muddy home for the night, drink a can of Pabst and it starts raining. I get in my sleeping bag, cover everything with the tarp and listen to rain hitting plastic. Friday, October 18th High 48, low 34 The wind switched to the north last night, there is a chill in the air that will tell the bucks that the does like them, and that
same chill will send heavy, feathered mallards south from their summer home in Canada. I could have shot a duck on the set this morning and would have given Fire an easy retrieve. I let the duck live, moments later a hen ringneck, came blazing by, I was not so merciful. My trophy crashed about 30-yards away and there was some light vegetation between the canoe and Fire. Fire did a perfect retrieve and I was happy. It would be a lie to say that there was very many ducks flying over my canoe this morning, but jeez did I have a smile on my face when another ringneck flew over and due to a load of steel, it will not be making the flight to Louisiana this fall. The real smile was because this bird was the definition of a blind retrieve, it landed in vegetation, could not be seen, and though Fire heard it crash, she did not know where it fell. I sent my daughters perfectly trained and completely flawless golden retriever after her quarry and she was picture perfect. When she swam back to the canoe with my duck, I did not care if I shot the gun again today, a major question was answered and Fire truly seemed to enjoy what she had achieved. Love the river, Love duck hunting! Sunset

New Lisbon 5th grade Talent Show Fifth grade is hard enough as it is but, when you are asked to get in front of the sixth grade class and do something to entertain them, well, now it really gets tough. This was a real test for some students. To perform in front of your classmates sitting right in front of you, staring at you, and feeling like nothing is coming out. Caydence Ready (at the top) sang “The Star Spangled Banner” and did a great job even with her classmates staring at her. Megan Froh performed the cup song, “You’re gonna miss me”, she kept her rhythm and never gave it a second thought. The cup and your hands are the music. As Megan was singing she had to keep the beat by doing repeated movements with her hands and the cup. Johnathan Olson performed “Dynamite”. He had also choreographed a dance to do as he sang along with the C.D. There was also a performance by William Korbein on his trumpet. This was a hard day for most kids and they did a great job at keeping their composure.
