THE AWARD WINNING OFFICIAL LEGAL NEWSPAPER OF JUNEAU COUNTY THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2013
$1.00
Second man charged in June armed robbery BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD On November 1st multiple felony charges were filed against 25 year old Jeffery Lyp of Wisconsin Rapids for what prosecution claims is his role in a June 2013 armed robbery which took place in the Township of Armenia. According to the criminal complaint, earlier this summer Juneau County Detective Ben Goehring was called in for an investigation of an armed robbery on County Road G in the Township of Armenia. Upon arrival the detective met with a deputy on the scene and was shown a total of seven rounds of ammunition located on the floor in the hallways of the residence. A victim on the scene informed the detective that she had seen two unknown people around the residence and that they entered the property without consent through an unlocked sliding door. The subjects were carrying handguns and wearing bandanas around their faces. At the time of the incident friends and family of the victim were present and the suspects ordered all of the women to get on the ground at which time they threw zip-ties at the women ordering them to tie their wrists and turn over money and their purses. The complaint goes on to state that the victim stated she began to comply and started towards her bedroom. She went on to state that as she entered the bedroom entryway she swung around and attacked one of the gunmen by grabbing the gun he was holding, eventually getting control of it and then used it to hit the suspect about the head and upper body. At some point the suspect regained control of the gun after the victim scratched his face and attempted to gouge his eyes out. She was able to unmask the assailant and stated she could identify him if shown pictures. As a result of the struggle the victim had injuries including a small cut on her ankle, a small cut on her left hand, and swelling to the left side of her head. In speaking to another victim on the scene the woman stated that during the time the suspects had the women get on the floor she heard them refer to one another as "Mike" and "Jake." The following week the victim who struggled with one of the assailants was able to identify two men from photos provided to her. Those men were Jeffery R. Lyp and Michael T. Edict. At the time Edict was being held by the Wood County Sheriff's Department on an unrelated matter. Detective Goehring had conducted an interview with Edict who initially stated he had never been at the house, however, through further questioning Edict made claims indicating that he had knowledge of the robbery and eventually admitted to involvement. Edict stated, "Two people come in, didn't touch no kids or nothin' told 'em just to get on the ground that's it. """"" got up told her to go in the back room and get the sh*t, she didn't want to do it she tried gettin' squirrely, *ucked her up a bit." Prior to that statement he had claimed the robbery took place due to the female at the residence being a "druggie" and "lowlife" who was selling heroin. On July 10, 2013 Edict was originally charged in Juneau County Circuit Court with being party of a crime - armed robbery, burglary, battery, and theft. Lyp is currently in custody of the Portage County Sheriff's Department on unrelated charges of Possession of THC (2nd+ Offense), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. At the time The Messenger went to press further hearings on the case against Lyp and Edict had not been scheduled.

Tomah man charged in Juneau County with OWI with children in vehicle BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD A 36 year old Tomah man, Thomas M. Peterson, has been charged in Juneau County Circuit Court with operating while intoxicated with a minor child in the vehicle. Along with the first offense, he is also charged with felony possession of THC and possession of drug paraphernalia. According to the criminal complaint the incident leading to the charges occurred on Halloween evening, October 31st. Wisconsin State Trooper Charlotte Gylinn was working enforcement patrol on 1-90/94 when at approximately 11:34 p.m. was dispatched to a crash at mile marker 85 in the westbound lane. According to a caller, a vehicle had hit a guardrail and a semi. When arriving on the scene she observed a red SUV on the right shoulder of the road, and partially in the right lane of traffic. The SUV had extensive front end damage. Emergency responders were already on the scene as were Wisconsin Dells Police. A female passenger stated that they were on their way home to Tomah from Sun Prairie and that she was sleeping when the accident occurred. The passenger stated that Peterson had been driving the SUV. The driver of the semi stated to the officer that he was traveling behind the red SUV when he observed the vehicle change lanes from the right lane to the left lane at which time it hit the guard rail. The vehicle then spun around, crossed both lanes of traffic and crashed into the right side guardrail and the right side of his semi.
When observing Peterson, the driver of the red SUV, the trooper noted his eyes were red and glazed over. His vehicle had a strong smell of burnt marijuana and, while attempting to find his wallet in the car, the trooper located two pot pipes. Inside the vehicle were two children, sons of the female passenger. The older child was seven years old, the youngest was five years old. The younger boy complained his head was hurting. Neither children were in booster seats. According to Peterson the accident occurred when he reached over to get a bottle of water. Upon further questioning Peterson admitted the pipes were his and that he had smoked marijuana earlier in the day at 11:00 a.m. Peterson failed a field sobriety test, however a preliminary breath test scored 000. He was placed under arrest for operating a vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance. He was transported to Mile Bluff Medical Center where he agreed he would submit to an evidentiary chemical test of his blood. On November 1st Peterson was placed on a $5,000 signature bond with conditions that he is not to use, possess, or consume any controlled substances without a valid prescription. He is not to be in possession of drug paraphernalia. He is not to drive without a valid drivers license nor is he able to operate a vehicle with minors in it. He will return to court for an initial appearance before Juneau County Circuit Court Judge John Roemer on December 4th.
Delaney found guilty of sexual assault A former Necedah area pastor, Micheal Delaney, more than likely will be spending the rest of his life behind bars in the Wisconsin prison system. Last week in Monroe County Circuit Court at the conclusion of his trial, the 66 year old Tomah man was found guilty of sexual assault with a child under 16 years of age as a persistent repeater and five counts of child enticement. Delaney who has a 1983
conviction in Arizona on two counts of child sexual assault will be sentenced in December. Wisconsin's "Two Strikes You're Out" requires a life prison term upon a second separate child sex offense. The case leading to the second strike was originally filed in the court system in early 2012, months after the young male victim and relatives came forward in late 2011. In late 2011 Delaney retired as Pastor from the
Church of God of Prophecy in Necedah. The abuse Delaney was convicted of happened over a period of time, and according to the original criminal complaint involved using his position of power including teachings of faith to manipulate the victim while assaulting him. When the verdict came in Delaney, who had earned a living working as a truck driver, was immediately taken into custody to await sentencing.
When The Messenger originally broke the story on Delaney being held on possible charges of child sexual assault we placed calls and left messages at the Church of the God of Prophecy headquarters in Tennessee to ascertain whether or not they were aware of Delaney's prior criminal record in Arizona and if they had that information prior to him becoming a pastor in Necedah. Our calls and messages went unanswered.

Elroy Public Library BY MARY WAARVIK, LIBRARIAN Well, what a Halloween we had at the Elroy Library! Lots of trick-or-treaters, many of whom decorated our boxes of pumpkins. Although a pumpkin is not the smoothest surface to draw on, we still opted for markers (no knives, no innards to spill). Some artists took them home and some left them as decorations. Come in and see some of these photos. And while you are here, check out a good book or video for even more fun. Also, hurry in to sign up for our Kids’ Gingerbread House Construction Class. Volunteers will have made the walls and on November 16 our Construction Crews will assemble them. On November 23 the kids can come back to decorate their houses with candy. We will put them on display until the library’s Christmas Open House party on December 11. Grownups are also invited to make Gingerbread Houses. However, you will have to provide your own materials and expertise. We do have a gingerbread recipe for you to use if you like. There will be prizes for first place in each category. Plus the library will smell heavenly for 2 weeks!

Local writer publishes book
BY EVA MARIE WOYWOD Cancer - is a word that strikes fear into most, especially when they are hearing it as a diagnosis while they sit in their doctor's office. Rhonda Siebecker knows just exactly how such a word and diagnosis can stop the world from spinning and for that moment in which it is uttered, time stands still. She was on the receiving end of such a diagnosis just three short years ago in September of 2010. Siebecker's diagnosis was an aggressive triple negative breast cancer. Life forever changed for the freelance writer and dance teacher. The road ahead of her would be one filled with challenges, new relationships, and self discovery. All of which would be chronicled as she put pen to paper in a journal. It had been suggested to her that she keep the journal to help her through the healing and recovery process. At first writing in her journal did not come as easily as many would think for the professional writer. The words were harder to find when she turned the attention on herself rather than the telling of another person's story. But, she stated, when the words did come they flowed out of her with a rhythm that would soon create the poetic guidance in a book to help others down the road she was walking. That book, Writing to Heal, was published earlier this year and is billed as a poetry journal helper for breast cancer survivors. Siebecker, however, states the poetic prompts in her book may help anyone on a road of healing and self discovery. The book can be found on the Amazon website as well as at the Create Space site. It begins on the day after she came home from the hospital from her first surgery and a poem she had written. It then asks the reader about what changes in their body they may be dealing with - the guided journal provides the reader a space to write whatever those thoughts may be. From that point on the prompts in the book are short but deeply emotional glimpses into Siebecker's
healing including her learning how to let go and say goodbye when a fellow cancer warrior lost her battle. It was a woman she bonded with through a support group for patients. One poem called ‘Time’ captures the lessons she learned during her time of self discovery: “One thing I have learned is that time is not earned. No extra points for good behavior. Tell them what you need. Create your own creed. Become your very own savior.” Those lessons have now
paved a new path for Siebecker as she moves forward in capturing life and living it to the fullest. She is following her creative spirit and honoring her dreams. This year she has opened Baraboo Bellydance in a studio along with partner Jamie Cooper who teaches impact fitness and pole dancing. Beyond teaching dance, Siebecker is also performing on stage in a play called Wit, written by Margaret Edson. She will portray a nurse tending to a patient dying from a
battle of ovarian cancer. The performance will be held at the UW Baraboo campus R G Brown Theatre beginning November 21st and running through November 23rd with performance at 7 p.m. On November 24th there will be a 2:00 p.m. performance. Siebecker plans on sharing her story with others by taking her book on the road to speaking engagements and fairs. It is a road she is building with optimism and a renewed love of life and living in the moment. If you are interested in learning where copies of her book can be attained you can contact Siebecker through email at dancediva714@yahoo.com.

Annual Love Light ceremony upcoming Residents of Juneau and Adams Counties are encouraged to honor the memory of a loved one during a special holiday event at Mile Bluff Medical Center in Mauston. The Hospice Touch Love Light ceremony will be held on Sunday, November 24 at 6:30 pm, and is open to anyone who is looking for support as they deal with the absence of a loved one who has passed away. The Love Light program begins as everyone gathers in the lobby of the medical center to enjoy refreshments and view the love light tree in the healing garden. As the evening gets underway, music is played, the lights inside are dimmed, and the love lights on the outdoor tree are lit as the names of the individuals being remembered are read aloud. This annual event serves as an inspiring and emotional time for many; helping to prepare hearts for a holiday season without some of the loved ones they hold near and
dear. If you are interested in having someone’s name included in the remembrance ceremony, pick up a love light order form at the reception desk of Mile Bluff Medical Center in Mauston, Phillips Pharmacy in Mauston or Roche-a-Cri Pharmacy in AdamsFriendship. Individual lights are available for $5, and a string of lights can be purchased for $25. All orders for the Mauston ceremony must be placed by November 18. As the holiday season approaches, and you search for a way to remember someone special who is no longer with you, purchase a light in his/her honor and attend the Love Light ceremony at Mile Bluff. Additional information about the program can be obtained by calling the Hospice Touch office at 608-374-0250.

Hatch Happenings BY DEBBY BROOKS Wow—we had an awesome time at our Halloween Lock-In on Friday! Thirteen kids were locked in the library from 7 p.m. on Friday night until 7 a.m. Saturday morning for food, fun, and face painting. Thank you to all of the people who helped to make the Lock-In a success once again. April Martell, Dee Strong, Jim Schmid, and Marianne Cherny were wonderful and I couldn’t have done it without them. Kids were kept busy all night (and morning) with a variety of activities and programs. Police Officer Eric Sanner brought Kantor, the
newest canine addition, and gave a fascinating talk on how Kantor has been trained and what he does to help. It was definitely a highlight of the evening. Another favorite was Jim Schmid with his amazing face painting! Jim showed a variety of masks that he had done and then spent the evening giving each child their own special face painting. We had everything from scars to bullet holes and the kids loved every minute. Thank you so much, Jim, for your patience and expertise! There were some wonderful magic tricks from the “Booktacular” program from “The Magic of Isaiah,” along with games and dancing for
the whole group. We even had boys and girls join Dee Strong in learning some belly dancing techniques. It was a great time and thanks to all of the kids who participated! We are fortunate to once again be able to celebrate National Model Railroad Train month in November when Bruce Goeser will be bringing in his amazing trains to share with us. Don’t forget to join us 3:30-4:30 p.m. the first Thursday of the month for our Legos @ the Library and Gaming Night from 4-6 p.m. the second Wednesday of the month. Come “check it out” at the library!

Postponed raises and debates toward future referendum stalls Royall Board BY TASHA MUELLER The topic of putting the Royall School District through a referendum in 2014 pronged an evening full of debates focusing on budget numbers and where exactly the money would go. An even bigger debate was geared towards deciding on when staff were able to receive raises. The two issues go handin-hand with one another, according to board member Doug Waterman. Giving raises, Waterman said, could be at odds with the board’s plan to ask voters to approve a recurring referendum allowing the district to exceed the state imposed revenue caps. “To me, that’s not right,”
he said. By state law, Royall can increase salaries by a maximum 2.07 percent. The school district considered a proposal for a $500 basewage increase per teacher and further raises would be based on completion of education credits. As both items were mentioned together, the superintendent asked to separate them into their own discussed topics. The proposed idea of putting the district into a referendum is due in large part to make capital improvements over several years, which includes replacing the school roof and installing security cameras. Gruen also noted the
health insurance savings the district has maintained to accumulate to $111,000 that is able to offset the raises. In total, the pay increases would amount to about $80,000. Few board members thought they had to consider the raises in the context of the referendum, postponing their decision until later in November. The finance committee will discuss the referendum, making decisions on where the money would be spent and how long the referendum would result in. They would be working with financial advising firm Robert W. Baird and Company to determine the phrasing of the referendum question. The com-
mittee will also discuss the proposed raises. The referendum was slated to start in February 2014, as some board members feared the district would not be ready by the proposed date. The roof project alone would cost an estimated $750,000, according to board member Mike Preuss. The suggestion from Preuss, a member of the buildings and grounds committee, that the district replace the roof in smaller segments over several years. The roof has aged and is compromised in places, but is not leaking. Business manager Jeff Lankey presented the board with the 2013-14 tax levy at $2,771,632. The district’s
total valuation dropped by 5.4 percent, as the mill rate would be significantly higher than what was approved at the annual meeting. The mill rate was increased to $14.36 from the current rate of $12.75. All of the municipalities dropped in valuation, with the exception of the town of Glendale. Elroy’s valuation fell by 10 percent, plus all of Juneau County experienced the decrease. The school mill rate reflects only part of a property-tax bill. Gruen added that although the district’s pupil count had increased by 50 this year, state aid to school districts is based on a three-year rolling average enrollment. The district will
assume the cost of educating the additional students without receiving full state aid for them. The board approved raising substitute-teacher pay from $85 to $95 per day, with an opposition from Waterman. The hourly wage for substitute support staff will increase from $8 to $9. The board accepted the retirement of Title I teacher Judy Korgie and the resignation of special-education teacher Kerri Schiller, whom accepted a position in the Mauston School District. The district voted unanimously to fine Schiller $1,000 for breaking her contract mid year. The board hired Megan Braund as Schiller’s replacement.
KENDALL HOLIDAY FAIR SHOWCASES NEW ITEMS
To the right, Diane Clark (left) and Christie Williams showcased an Elroy Public Library raffle booth at the Kendall Holiday Fair this past Friday and Saturday. The Friends of the Library is providing a raffle of a handmade quilt that will be drawn at the annual Christmas Open House on December 11 at 5:30 p.m. at the library. Raffle tickets are available until the day of the drawing. Directly below, Jenny Rizzo of Camp Douglas introduces something new to the community. The company is Barefoot Books, which originated in Europe and is making its way into the states. Just beginning the process of being an ambassador, Rizzo commented on the books stating “it offers children an experience to step inside a story and give then awareness to other cultures.” Rizzo will be promoting the book line at local vendor fairs, to get those perfect gifts for the holidays. On the bottom right, Joan Belsky, of Kendall, shows handmade Congolese crafts to holiday shoppers. The jewelry pieces were made in Capetown, South Africa after a couple, Larry and Sue Correll, brought the product back to the US after watching artists make the pieces. All proceeds go directly towards the Emmanuel Church, as the South African couple Israel and Rachel began the congregation in 2006. TASHA MUELLER PHOTOS
Kendall Library news BY LYNETTE VLASAK State representative Ed Brooks will be having a listening session at our library on Monday, November 18, from 11 to 11:45 a.m. Note that the library is not usually open on Mondays, but we will be open for this listening session. Make plans to stop in and discuss the issues with the representative.
A topic you may wish to discuss with Rep. Brooks is the proposed American Transmission Company’s (ATC) proposed high-voltage electric transmission line. We recently received a copy of the initial application ATC filed with the Public Service Commission. Detailed maps of the two proposed routes are available for viewing in the library and will be available for public review until June 30, 2015. The book club’s next book is Growing Up in Gray North
by William Airth-Kindree. This self-published book was written by the husband of one of our book club members, Mary Ann Airth-Kindree. The author, now deceased, chronicles his growing up in Canada and was originally written to provide his children with a glimpse of what his earlier life was like. Our next meeting to discuss this book will be on November 26, at 6 p.m. in the library.

C-FC too much for Tigers to handle
BY TASHA MUELLER After a much needed regional win over the Wonewoc-Center Wolves, the Lady Tigers matched-up with Cochrane-Fountain City, whom the team face at the very beginning of their season during a tournament game. This time around, C-FC was more than Hillsboro could handle as the points were in the Pirates favor. Hillsboro was able to jump ahead of C-FC leading the beginning of the game 10-5. After a 16-16 tie, the Pirates were able to take hold and continue to lead after a net serve by Hillsboro gave the first match to C-FC. During the second game, Hillsboro was unsteady with
keeping possession of the ball. A tie of 3-3 was broken as Kelsey Skala was called on a carry, with the Pirates gaining full control. The Tigers tried earning full possession after getting four straight points on the score board, but were still down 16-21. After still having trouble getting into the zone, C-FC was able to capture game two with a 25-16 win. Within the third, Hillsboro started off rocky as Macy Mislivecek put the ball right over the net to break a 13-13 tie. Tasha Mitchell was able to find a service ace to give the Tigers a 16-15 lead. A carry by C-FC led Hillsboro into another one point lead, as Sami Levy put down some powerful spikes
towards the end as the Tigers gained their first win 25-21. A spike by Mackenzie Sullivan broke Hillsboro’s tie as the team led 5-4. C-FC went five points straight to gain the lead at 10-5. Hillsboro kept on trailing, with no chance to gain the lead until finally breaking away from a 24-24 tie as Mitchell put down a spike, as well as the 25th point to make the game 25-24. Mitchell was then able to keep the spikes rolling and giving Hillsboro the second win with a final of 27-25. Hillsboro was able to force the fifth and deciding match. After some strong spikes from the C-FC team, Hillsboro kept a close game, wanting to move on within
Hillsboro students Perform “Grease” BY TASHA MUELLER
The Hillsboro High School Drama Department will turn back the clock nearly 60 years and present their annual fall musical, GREASE, on Friday and Saturday, November 15-16 at 7:30 p.m. in the Hillsboro High School gymnasium. Ticket prices are $8 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets are available in the Hillsboro High School office or from a cast or crew member. The crew of talented performers has been busy preparing for the two night show where poodle skirts and leather jackets were a popular item to wear in the past. Although “Grease” deals with grownup issues that some late teens may face, individuals have been able to fit the rolls of Sandy, Danny, and even Johnny Casino. “Grease” ran on Broadway until 1980, and ended after a record-setting 3,388 performance run. Though other shows have gone on to post higher performance numbers, “Grease” remains the 13th- longest running
show on Broadway. The show should appeal to many different age groups, as you’ll be able to sit back and hear the booming sounds from the cast performing the recognizable tunes. Choreography will also be on a role during the performance and will give individuals the chance to bring back scenes just like the popular movie. The cast & crew members of Grease will also be hosting a 50’s diner dinner on Saturday, November 16th from 6-6:30 p.m. Pre-sold tickets Only. No dinner tickets may be purchased at the door. Dinner is $8 and does not include the show! Menu includes burger, fries, pickle, ice-cold root beer and a milkshake. Get your tickets now! Tickets will only be on sale in the office or from a cast member until Wednesday, November 13th! It’ll be a great show and a great family show. So, make sure to have Friday, Saturday or both nights free to watch the reminiscent Broadway musical.
the tournament play. A service ace kept the Tiger dream alive with a tie set at 13-13. Hillsboro was unable to answer back the powerful kills coming from the Pirates side and lost the deciding match 15-13. In the past, Hillsboro has traveled to the state completion within the seven years. C-FC has been out of the sectional finals by Hillsboro and Plum City in recent years. The Pirates were unable to move past the sectional final against North Crawford Saturday night in a 3-1 sweep. Mitchell was able to lead Hillsboro with 16 kills against the C-FC Pirates.

Area runners compete for top spots at State Cross Country BY TASHA MUELLER The 101st running of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) Boys Cross Country Championships and the 41st Annual Girls Cross Country Championships was held this past Saturday with plenty of area runners participating in the event. The top two teams from each of the eight Divisions 2 and 3 sectionals advanced on to a tough competition. In addition to the qualifying teams, the first five individual finishers at their respective sectionals, who are not a member of the qualifying team, also qualified for the state meet. Mauston’s Adam Kraemer competed for a Division 2 State Title and was able to end the race with a 13th place finish, at 16:39. Teammate Taylor Miller completed the Girls Division 2 race with a 8th place finish in a time of 15:05. Miller raced in her fourth WIAA State Cross Country race. She finished 50th as a freshman, 14th as a sophomore, and 9th as a junior, as she kept on pace during this season’s run. Megan Thomas for Mauston, crossed this finish line in a time of 16:45 and recorded a 60th place finish. Dana Osthoff was right behind with a time of 16:47 and received the 61st placing. Other Mauston runners included Andrea Thomas (16:54), Brittney Lubinkski (16:55), Kate Tower (17:07) and Bailey Jensen (17:52). The girls’ team ended the day in 10th place with a total of 264 points. Hillsboro’s Breanna Beaver made history with being the first girl runner from Hillsboro to compete in the state competition. Beaver finished the race with a time of 19:54 after putting forth great effort towards the finish line. Tiger teammates Logan Rohn and Noah Mayberry came in with a 49th and 51st placing, respectively. For the third consecutive year, Rohn has competed in the state tournament and finished with a time of 17:42. For Mayberry, this is the second consecutive time to try out the state course and was only a few seconds behind Rohn with a time of 17:46. Necedah runners Trey and Tripp Horbinski made excellent times. Trey was able to clinch a 35th place finish in a time of 17:23 as Tripp followed in at 40th place with a time of 17:28. Great job to all of the runners that competed in the state championship! This year’s preview by the WIAA included: Last Year-Girls: Dodgeville/Mineral Point
won its third consecutive Division 2 championship with 84 points. Notre Dame placed second with 98 points. Spring Valley claimed the Division 3 team championship by compiling 108 points. Runner-up Darlington finished two points behind with 110. Division 2, Jamie Shannon of McFarland ran to the individual title with a time of 14:38.94, and Andrea Ostenso of Ladysmith posted the best time in Division 3 to capture the individual crown with a winning time of 14:34.59. Year-Boys: Last Shorewood captured the Division 2 crown with 80 points, 11 points fewer than runner-up Freedom with 91 points. Defending champion Darlington won the Division 3 team championship for the second straight season by scoring 50 points. Boscobel finished second with 99 points. Ryan McCoy of New Glarus/Monticello captured his second consecutive title. Division 2 individual crown with a time of 15:28.30, and Tyson Miehe of Darlington also claimed back-to-back titles by winning the Division 3 individual championship with a time of 15:51.94. Boys Individual Notes: In Division 2, senior Charlie Stahl of Shorewood is the top returning individual after racing to fourth place last season. He’ll compete with a number of experienced runners for the individual championship this year. Among them is senior Brett Harms of Whitewater, who placed fifth in 2012 and 11th in 2011. Juniors Kyler Lueck and Eric Brown II of Wisconsin Lutheran should also be among the leaders after finishing eighth and 15th, respectively, last season. Senior Bryan Tomek of Tomahawk is also back after placing ninth a year ago. Other potential contenders based on past State experience and sectional performances are seniors Jake Hirsbrunner and Ethan Moehn of Monroe, and Joe Van Grinsven of Little Chute; juniors Ben Eidenschink of Nekoosa/Port Edwards, Sam Engel of Winneconne and Sam Hinz of Freedom; and sophomore Daniel Pederson of Spooner. Senior Tyson Miehe of Darlington is the two-time defending champion returning in Division 3. He should again be considered the favorite to repeat. Among the runners with quality State Meet performances attempting to dethrone Miehe are seven others that placed in the top 10 in 2012. They include senior Kevin Ryan of Kenosha St. Joseph, who was runner-up last year; senior Darin Lau of Eau
Claire Immanuel Lutheran (3rd); junior Luke Versweyveld of Kenosha Christian Life/Faith Christian (4th); sophomore Dakota Kauffman of Boscobel (5th); senior Nick Zander of McDonell Central (8th); senior Andrew Studinski of Marathon (9th); and senior Sasha Maro of Mondovi (10th). Other possible challengers for the individual crown after racing to sectional titles are seniors Mitchell Bilitz of Winnebago Lutheran, Greg Greif of St. Mary Central, Jacob Ohnstad of Grantsburg and Austin Pasch of Westby. Girls Individual Notes: In Division 2, junior Amy Davis of Edgewood has the distinction of being the top returning placer from last year’s meet, finishing second. She is expected to be a strong contender for the individual title again this season. A number of other top-10 finishers last year are also back to challenge for the title, including senior Anna Eisenzimmer and junior Hannah Owens of Dodgeville/Mineral Point, who placed fourth and eight, respectively, last year. Owens also placed seventh in 2011. Sophomore Morgan Florsheim of Shorewood and senior Taylor Miller of Mauston could also contend after placing fifth and ninth, respectively, last season. Other contenders that may possibly vie for the individ-
ual championship based on sectional results are seniors Kinsey Harmon of Berlin and Lian Arzbecker of Pewaukee; juniors Lauren Peters of Freedom, Kristy Terp of Two Rivers and Cora Bruxvoort of Bloomer; and sophomore Ashton Keene of Pewaukee. Senior Delaney Sinnen of Random Lake is the top returning individual in Division 3 after finishing third last year and fourth in 2011. Isabel Seidel of
University Lake/Trinity was on Sinnen’s heels in fourth place last season after finishing fifth in 2011. Both are considered favorites to challenge the title again this year. Other runners with experience expecting to be among the leaders are senior Natalie Miller of Three Lakes and senior Leah Johnson of Pardeeville. They finished sixth and seventh, respectively, last year. Others who could be in contention for
the titles based on their State experience or their sectional performances are juniors Nora Keller of Lourdes Academy and Becca Maxwell of Westby, and freshmen Dempsey Fogarty of Colfax and Hailey BeBeau of Chequamegon.
Hillsboro’s Cross Country Coach Ben Leis talks about the three state runners for the school during a pep rally Thursday afternoon. Noah Mayberry competed in the state championship for the second time on Saturday, while Logan Rohn ran for the third year, making him Hillsboro’s first boy individual to run for three straight seasons, and Breanna Beaver was the team’s first individual girl runner in the history of the Hillsboro cross country program.

Awesome reality proves as fun day for W-C elementary students BY TASHA MUELLER Some might not even know what “Augmented Reality” is, or may not have heard of it before. It might be because the concept is something new that was recently introduced by Apple, by offering apps for this reality to come to life. In specific terms, Augmented Reality (AR) is a cuttingedge technology that allows for a digitally enhanced view of the real world, connecting you through more meaningful content in your everyday life. With the camera and sensors in a smartphone or tablet, AR adds layers of digital information – photos, videos, sounds – directly on top of items in the world around us. So basically a printed image that can be seen on a regular piece of paper, comes to life as a 3-D image. The neat thing about this capability is that anyone can download the app that is available for free (with an upgrade purchase offered) and printed coloring pages are on the app to print. Children can then color the pages with light and bright colors so the sensor is able to pick up the image through the black lines. In Ms. Louis’ classroom, students in first and second grades were able to give this new reality a try with a little explanation from Ms. Louis. Students were each given a coloring sheet of pumpkins in honor of the Halloween holiday. Last Friday was “FunFriday” for all of the kids with 20-minute rotation with different fun projects. Once explaining that the students must color in non-dark colors, Ms. Louis showed examples of colored pages of a bear, bird, airplane, and cat. “Once you get your picture colored, you’ll bring it up to me and we’ll see your picture come to life,” explained Ms. Louis. When showing the picture of the bear, an image of the front and backside could be seen on the coloring page. By having both sides on the sheet of paper, the bear could be seen in 3-D and danced around in a circle. The bird picked up a worm with its beak and the airplane was able to flip around with just the press of a button on the app. “It allows the student to see the image come to life in the blink of an eye,” commented Louis. Students in Ms. Louis’ Computer Apps class were able to help with the elementary students and get their pages col-
Local Churches serve LaValle free community meal
CONTRIBUTED In spite of the rain, one hundred and thirty people came to eat and visit with their neighbors at the October Community Meal at Advent Christian Church. Two anonymous donors plus the Zion and St. Paul Lutheran Ladies Aid funded the meal. Twenty-four volunteers from Zion and St. Paul Lutheran, Holy Family Catholic, Valton Weslyan and Advent Christian served in some capacity. A great big thank you to all who support this community project. Our next community meal will be in January, 2014.
ored. The junior high students were even more amazed by seeing their own colored picture on the big screen. Comments from the students ranged from “Wow, that is so cool!” to “I want to show this to my parents!” and “How does it move?” The images the elementary students colored came to life by the collection of pumpkins dancing around in a circle, showing all of the colors used and even the marks made within the lines. Not only is this offered on coloring pages, but there are many other apps that have this same capability, like guiding your way to a specific location like a Google Map, or trying to pick out furniture from IKEA and seeing how it would look in your home. Other teaching app using this AR capability include Acrossair, GeoGoggle and Google Sky Map. The apps help with changing the face of learning in the classroom, which “makes it fun,” said Louis. The apps are simple to download and browse through. Search “AR Apps,” or the one that the W-C students used in class is “ColAR Mix,” and can be downloaded to your phone or tablet and will give anyone the fun sense of learning. The AR is a capability to expand the future of classroom learning and will offer more to students towards a futuristic education.
Elementary students were able to see their colored art in Ms. Louis’ classroom on the big screen come to life, with movement, sound and even able to capture the image right above the piece of paper with their own hands.
In the Loop... With the Friends of the LaValle Library PEGG CONDERMAN It has been a busy week in the Village of LaValle. On Halloween night, the LaValle Library was the starting point for the second annual LaValle Treasure Hunt. It was such a joy so see. The streets of LaValle were alive with families walking and talking together. Families and friends were ducking into each others' houses for a hot cider, a slice of pizza or a pumpkin donut. (Yum, thanks Ramona!) On that magical night, village maps were given out to children along with a list of Treasures. The kids were challenged to collect all of the treasures to redeem them at the library for a treat from the toy table. Special thanks go out to the organizer of this event, Amy Elder and her family. Halloween was also the last night in 2013 for the new LaValle Corn Maze. It was a dark and blustery Halloween for the faithful folk who tended the fire, made the S'mores and watched for kids going though the Spooky Maze! Although our weather didn't cooperate to make the Corn Maze a rousing success this year, the "Light up the LaValle Park" Committee and the Friends of the LaValle Library are not discouraged. There are already plans afoot for 2014. With all of the activities that have been organized by the people of the LaValle Library, it is sometimes easy to forget that it is a Public Service that must be utilized to be preserved. Please plan to visit the LaValle Library soon. Open Hours: Every Monday-Thursday from 3-7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00-Noon. Also, it's easy to go online to the LaValle Library website and order books, CDs and DVDs from any library in the South Central Library System. Your books will be delivered to the LaValle Library. This will boost our circulation and the books can be picked up when the library is open. Here are some events that are coming soon to the LaValle Public Library. Thursday, November 7th at 7:00 p.m. - Friends of the LaValle Library. Join us as we talk over the results of the Fermentation Fest Book Sale, the Corn Maze, and the Halloween Treasure Hunt.

STATE OF WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT TO REISSUE A WISCONSIN POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (WPDES) PERMIT No.WI-0020516-09-0 Permittee: Village of Kendall, PO Box 216, Kendall, WI 54638-8622 Facility Where Discharge Occurs: Kendall Wastewater Treatment Facility, 208 East South Railroad St., Kendall, WI Receiving Water and Location: Baraboo River in the Seymour Creek and Upper Baraboo River Watershed of the Lower Wisconsin River Basin in Monroe County Brief Facility Description and Summary of Proposed Changes: The Kendall Wastewater Treatment Plant is a conventional package plant with aeration and re-aeration basins, a center clarifier, and aerobic sludge treatment. The facility treats domestic waste from the Village of Kendall. The annual average design flow is 0.070 million gallons per day (MGD), and had an actual annual average flow of 0.056 MGD in 2012. Effluent is disinfected via chlorination (and is followed by dechlorination) prior to discharge to the Baraboo River. Sludge generated at the facility is aerobically digested and hauled to the Elroy WWTF. No operational changes since the last permit term. Proposed monitoring changes since the last permit term include 1) removal of effluent copper limits and replaced with monitoring, 2) addition of effluent phosphorus limits and an associated compliance schedule, 3) effluent temperature monitoring in 2017, and 4) the removal of hardness monitoring. Permit Drafter: Angela Parkhurst, DNR, WCR Headquarters, 1300 W. Clairemont Ave., Eau Claire, WI 54701, (715) 839-3836, angela.parkhurst@wisconsin.gov Basin Engineer: Peter Pfefferkorn, DNR, 473 Griffith Avenue, Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494, (715) 421-7868, peter.pfefferkorn@wisconsin.gov The Department has tentatively decided that the above specified WPDES permit should be reissued. Dissipative Cooling: The department may account for dissipative cooling of the permittee’s treated domestic sewage effluent in determining the need for sub-lethal temperature limits pursuant to s. NR 106.59, Wis. Adm.Code. Based on the department’s evaluation it has been determined that sublethal effluent limits for temperature are not necessary because the permittee’s effluent thermal load is adequately dissipated. Comments on this determination are requested. Persons wishing to comment on or object to the proposed permit action, or to request a public hearing, may write to the Department of Natural Resources at the permit drafter’s address. All comments or suggestions received no later than 30 days after the publication date of this public notice will be considered along with other information on file in making a final decision regarding the permit.

Where designated as a reviewable surface water discharge permit, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is allowed up to 90 days to submit comments or objections regarding this permit determination. If no comments are received on the proposed permit from anyone, including U.S. EPA, the permit will be issued as proposed. The Department may schedule a public informational hearing if requested by any person and shall schedule a public informational hearing if a petition requesting a hearing is received from 5 or more persons or if response to this notice indicates significant public interest pursuant to s. 283.49, Stats. Requests for a public informational hearing shall state the following: the name and address of the person(s) requesting the hearing; the interest in the proposed permit of the person(s) requesting the hearing; the reasons for the request; and the issues proposed to be considered at the hearing. Information on file for this permit action, including the draft permit, fact sheet (if required), and permit application, may be inspected and copied at the permit drafter’s or basin engineer’s office, Monday through Friday (except holidays), between 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Please call the permit drafter or basin engineer for directions to their office location, if necessary. Information on this permit action may also be obtained by calling the permit drafter at (715) 839-3836 or by writing to the Department. Reasonable costs (usually 20 cents per page) will be charged for copies of information in the file other than the public notice and fact sheet. Permit information is also available on the internet at: http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/wastewater/PublicNotices.html.

When concerns are identified early on, intervention can take over, and in many cases children will be up-tospeed with their peers in no time. To follow up the screenings, ‘report cards’ are given to parents as well as to each child’s primary healthcare provider. If an area of concern is determined during the screening process, your child will receive a doctor referral right away so you are able to get immediate followup care. This free program is just another way that the healthcare professionals at Mile Bluff provide area families with a continuum of care. To reserve a spot for the November 20 screening, call Mile Bluff Medical Center at 608-847-1414. You must have an appointment, and spots are filling up quickly, so call today!

Bill’s Corner BY BILL SMITH
with sacks they hope their neighbors will fill with candy. Generally it is a fun time for all, but it seemed rather foolish to have the day of Halloween come shortly after the clocks had been set to make darkness come an hour earlier. It had the kids in costumes and masks that restricted their vision attemptimg to cross a street with absolutely no hint of daylight to make them visible. In an attempt to correct that, the day to make the change wad moved up a bit. The only problem is that there is more daylight towards the end of the clock day meant less at the start. It was pretty darn dark as people headed to work and school. All of which proves that there is no full solution to numerous problems. I have often wondered why I insist on living in this climate where the days become so short for a time each year, and where the weather is very likely to come bitter and unpleasant for at least a couple of months. Aside from the fact that I thoroughly enjoy the scenery and also the people, I know part of the reason I stay here is that I enjoy grumbling. So, let me take a few words in this column occasionally for just that purpose.
By now the effects of that extra hour of sleep we got when Daylight Saving time ended Sunday morning probably have worn off. That leaves us with nearly two months to ponder how to face life as we know that the available daylight today will be less than it was the day before. Of course that happens every year, and we know that come December 21 or so the amount of daylight will reach its minimum and days will start getting longer again. I can understand why many feel this is an event worth celebrating. Of course, we know that that day also marks the start of the winter season, and that it is almost certain there will be some bitter and snowy days to come before spring actually makes its appearance. That is a day worth celebrating! But, getting back to Daylight time, the need for the change in clocks has been more obvious ever since Congress succumbed to the demands from the candy and costume industries to make Daylight time stay in effect until we had observed Halloween. In many ways that made sense. In most parts of the country it has become a custom for kids of dress up and go from door to door

I read a joke which led me to write this column. It is about purses. This reminded me of a recent “game” I played at our Ladies Aid meeting at church. The leader would call out a letter of the alphabet and you had to find something in your purse that started with that letter. Like “I” and I had an ink pen. It was quite revealing as far as how much junk, er I mean stuff, we ladies carry in our purses. I also won the game! Probably because I have a very large purse and lots of junk. Which also made me remember something else about purses. Shortly after we were married, Ray sorta complained about my “big purse” that I carried. “Why can’t you get a smaller one?”, he asked. So I did. That didn’t last long because I started putting the stuff that didn’t fit in my small purse in his pockets. Nope he didn’t care for that at all. But it was stuff I just may need so had to take it. And after I became a mother I carried even more stuff around. But back to the joke, which started this whole column. “As the bus pulled away, I realized I had left my purse under the seat. Later I called the company and was relieved that the driver had found my bag. When I went to pick it up, several off-duty bus drivers surrounded me. One man handed me my pocketbook, two typewritten pages, and a box containing the contents of my purse. "We're required to inventory lost wallets and purses," he explained. "I think you'll find everything there." As I started to put my belongings back into the pocketbook, the man continued. "I hope you don't mind if we watch. Even though we all tried, none of us could fit everything into your purse. And we'd like to see just how you do it." Yup that would be me. And believe me it all fits if you put it in the right place. Granted sometimes I have to look through all the pocket type places to find what I’m looking for but I know it’s in there … somewhere! And if I’m in a hurry to find whatever it is I’m looking for I send up a quick prayer cause God answers all prayers. Sometimes He answers “Yes” and sometimes He answers “No” and sometimes the answer is “You gotta be kidding!” Speaking of God, here’s another quick joke I found kinda funny. There is a knock on St. Peter's door. He looks out and a man is standing there. St. Peter is about to begin his interview when the man disappears. A short time later there's another knock. St. Peter gets the door, sees the man, opens his mouth to speak, and the man disappears once again.
"Hey, are you playing games with me?" St. Peter calls after him. "No," the man's distant voice replies anxiously. "They're trying to resuscitate me." So I’m on a religious kick so here’s another one. There's this cathedral that's still being worked on, and the workers have rigged a "cage elevator" inside so they can get material up and down to the upper floors. A characteristic of these "cage elevators" is that the doors (gate) must be closed manually for them to be "called" to another floor. One day one of the workers, named Peter, takes the elevator to the top floor, and it is subsequently needed on the first floor by the sexton. Unfortunately, Peter forgot and left the door open. After the sexton rings for the elevator a couple times, to no avail, he yells up for the worker to send the lift back down. Visitors to the cathedral were treated to this sight: The sexton of the cathedral, head tipped up, yelling up to the heavens: "Peter! CLOSE THE GATES!!!" Last but not least (let’s hope this never happened) The new pastor decided to visit the children's Sunday school class. The teacher introduced him to the children and said, "Pastor Jones, this morning we're studying Joshua." "That's wonderful," said the new pastor, "let's see what you're learning. Who tore down the walls of Jericho?" Little Billy shyly raised his hand and offered, "Pastor, I didn't do it." Taken aback, the pastor asked, "Come on, now, who tore down those walls of Jericho?" The teacher, interrupting, said, "Pastor, Billy's a good boy. If he says he didn't do it, I believe he didn't do it." Flustered, the pastor left the room and went directly to the Sunday school director and related the story to him. The director, looking worried, explained, "Well, sir, we've had some problems with Billy before. Let me talk to him and see what we can do." Huh? Really bothered now by the answers of the teacher and the director, the new pastor approached the deacons and related the whole story, including the responses of the teacher and the director. A white-haired gentleman thoughtfully stroked his chin and said, "Well, Pastor, I move we just take the money from the general fund to pay for the walls and leave it at that." That’s it for this week, so here’s my NOnonsense thought: There are some folks that you hate to take advice from because they seem to need it so bad themselves. n Nancy J Schneider is a member of The Wisconsin Regional Writers Association and writes freelance.

Grandma & Grandpa stories: The Music Critics Hi. We are Grandma & Grandpa Gore and we love to tell stories. Some of them are even true. Once upon a time, Grandma & Grandpa Gore (George & Mary Ann Gore, of Elroy) decided that we could be amateur music critics. It is a pretty short story because that dream was very short-lived. In 1954, I was in the United States Marine Corps. I was assigned to the Naval Air Station at Millington, Tennessee. Millington is about 20 miles outside of Memphis. We lived in a little one-room apartment in Memphis. The popular Country & Western band, “Hank Thompson”, came to Memphis for a show. We got tickets and launched our short career as self-proclaimed music critics. The opening act was a new musician named Carl Perkins. Carl did a rock-a-billy number called “Blue Suede Shoes”. This was at the very leading edge of the rock & roll era. It was not music that we were very comfortable with, but it wasn’t too bad. On a scale of 1 to 10, we rated the act as a
five; some talent, but not in the same league as Hank Williams. After the opening act, the next group up was the main attraction. It was “The Hank Thompson Band”. They were in fine form that day and we thoroughly enjoyed their performance. We rated it as a 9. The closing act was a young local singer that we had never heard of. His music was really wild. The would-be music critics noted that the music was way too loud, and way too fast, and the so-called singing was nothing more than yelling. We thought it was a terrible closing act and rated it at an absolute zero. We deemed that this kid would never make it in show business. That was the end of our career as music critics. Looking back, it is apparent that we had completely failed to meet the criteria to be talent scouts. The name of the kid was Elvis Presley.
Taking Refuge
An Outdoorsman’s Journal
BY STEVE NORLING Welcome to November. This is the month when the cranes, (whooping and sandhill) head south. It is also the month of many hunting seasons with gun deer season being the most popular one. Personally to me all hunting seasons are just as important. Any time there is a hunting season open it is another chance to get out in the woods. It is not the taking of the game; it is the hunt that is important. If all people would realize that they would enjoy the sport much more. But enough of my opinions, time to get to the refuge. First of all, for all of you who would like to cut firewood on the refuge, several new areas have been added for those who come in for permits. All you need to do is to stop at the visitor center and the person at the desk will be able to assist you with whatever you need. Permits are needed and special areas are put aside for cutting. All of this will be explained by the staff or volunteers. There is still time for disabled hunters to come in and obtain a permit for any of the unfilled areas. Katie Goodwin is the person to see and if she is not there at the time you come to apply, there will be someone else there to assist you. This is a great service the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge offers to disabled hunters. As regular readers to this column know, I depend on the sandhill cranes to let me know when spring is coming and also when winter is coming. Right now if you drive down highways with a lot of harvested corn or soybean fields on them you are liable to see several thousand cranes. In a drive from Necedah to Adams along highway it is common to see several fields with 500 to 1,000 sandhills in them. Normally sandhills do not leave until gun deer season and they do not form these large flocks until about the second week in December. That may mean that we are in for an early winter. All we can do is watch and see. Speaking of cranes, this Saturday, November 9th the refuge is having a program on whooping cranes. This program is part of the “Refuge Wildlife Series” and December’s program is titled “Whooping Cranes”. You will be able to learn how the biologist and others on the refuge monitor the whooping crane nest. You will also get a complete update on how the first year of parent rearing went on the refuge. As many of you may remember I have written about the parent adoption program that was and is being tested on sandhill cranes on the refuge. There will also be an update on this program and hopefully good news. If the news is good enough it could be a game changer for the breeding whooping cranes. Remember, just because the ultra-light program is not here, The Necedah National Wildlife Refuge is still dedicated to advancing the reintroduction of the whooping crane east of the Mississippi. I know that it is only November, but many people are starting to do their Christmas shopping. Personally I usually let mine go until at least the 23rd of December, but that is just me. There are many great gifts in the Karner Korner gift and bookstore. There are books for all ages from the youngest to the oldest. There is wildlife related jewelry, wildlife related clothing and many other wildlife related gifts. These are items that anyone that loves the outdoors would enjoy having. So, on your next trip to the refuge, stop at the visitor center and visit the Karner Korner. You just may be able to find something for that hard to buy for person. Apparently there was an eagle fatality on the refuge. As I stated last week I am working ten hours a day six days a week so I am not entirely sure what happened. As this is my last week of work I will be able to get out to the refuge and should have more information in next week’s column. Now that the refuge is once again open after the partial government shutdown we can all get out there. Take your cameras or binoculars and come on out an walk the trails or just drive through (very slowly) and see what you can see. Until next week, “See you at the refuge.”

Backwater Trapping Trip BY MARK WALTERS Hello friends, My buddy, Joey Gillis, called me last March just before graduating from UW-Stevens Point and told me he wanted to take part in several outdoor experiences with me this fall. Our main trip would be a new one for myself and that would be a muskrat and raccoon trapping, duck hunting, and camping trip to a remote location on the Wisconsin River in Columbia County. Most of my trapping has been done in my middle and high school days so I was really excited about what would become one very challenging adventure. Saturday, October 25th High 44, low 27 Most of our travel on this adventure is being taken in a canoe or on foot. We are camped away from any roads and have no radio. The total length of the experience will be 8-12 days. Neither of us really knows the lay of the land where we will be trapping and this is Joey Gillis’ second year of trapping Yesterday was a big day of travel, building camp, and scouting. I did put out a couple of coon sets and was really excited to check them. This morning I did that by flashlight and was I ever one happy trapper when one of my brand new “dog proof” coon traps had the biggest coon of my trapping career in it. This coon was pushing the 30-pound mark and had a beautifully prime pelt. Bad news came right after the good news when Joey told me that he was feeling very poorly and that he would catch up to me after a bit. As I wrote earlier, most of our travel would be by canoe over a 2-mile stretch of swamp and creek and so what I did was set traps on one shoreline and have Joey make his sets on the other side. There were two, large parts of this day, of which one would be for the entire trip. Today there was a very strong wind. It was tearing apart the cattails and the entire day it seemed like it was snowing. I got something in my eye and by days end my sinuses were messed up and as strange as it seems, by days end my teeth were hurting. The bigger story was that we were in deep mud much of the time; the muck would suck you down to your waist and much further if you stayed in one spot. Today, even though I had a bad eye, I felt like a trapper from 200-years ago and I loved every minute of it. Sunday, October 27th High 42, low 29 I recently added a January muzzleloader hunt in Louisiana to my menu, so my goal is to take in $500.00 worth of fur. That goal hit a reality check today when I did not do worth a darn on my muskrat sets, there just are not whole lot of them here. I caught three rats and another coon. Joey caught 4 rats and had a coon get away. Tuesday, October 29th High 51, low 36 I had a dog proof coon trap set about 20-yards from my tent and this morning I caught a sumo coon in it. Yesterday I added two more coon and three more rats to my fur list and today was a really positive day for me as I caught 4 coon and three rats. So far I have 8 raccoon. My original thought was I would catch maybe five. Then I made a goal of 12. I am now moving it to 15 and have hopes that I can hit the $500.00 worth of furs by raising heck with the local raccoon population. My entire day is spent either walking or paddling a canoe
with a little duck hunting for good measure. I leave camp before it gets light out and come back after it gets dark. I am the filthiest that I have been in years. My injuries from the three wrestling matches that I got into on September 21st are getting worse due to 14 hour days in chest waders, kneeling in a canoe and walking in muck. I should probably change clothes, especially my underwear! My daughter’s pup, Fire, is living the same life style and I can honestly say that I love it. The injuries will heal, the clothes and body will be washed and hopefully the furs will keep adding up. Sunset P.S. Maybe I will just burn the underwear!

Producers who are interested in participating in any 2014 USDA farm programs or just want to keep their acreage history up to date need to report the location, acreage and planting date of the applicable crop. Producers with crop insurance must also report their applicable forages and fall seeded small grains to their insurance company. Late-filed provisions may be available to producers who are unable to meet the reporting deadline as required. Filing an acreage report on these crops after the November 15, 2013 deadline will require the payment of a
late-filing fee which amounts to a minimum of $46.00 per FSA established farm number. Everyone with perennial forage and fall seeded crop acreage is should call the Juneau FSA
Office at 608 847 7221 Ext 2 to schedule or confirm their crop reporting appointment by the November 15th deadline. More information on FSA programs is available at: www.fsa.usda.gov.
