DNR stalls proposed mega dairy, seeks water monitoring MADISON — State staff have rejected waste permit plans and specifications – but OK’d monitoring wells – for Pinnacle Dairy’s proposed 5,800-cow operation west of Brodhead. Department of Natural Resources engineer Gretchen Wheat and runoff management Section Chief Mary Anne Lowndes told the Nebraska dairy of the decision by letter last Friday, Jan. 22. The decision backs up Green County Land and Water Conservation staff’s Jan. 13 requests for additional test pits at the wet site. The 127-acre field, on Decatur-Sylvester Road 3 miles west of the Sugar River and Decatur Lake, has been at issue since last summer. Ronnie Williams of Williams

Engineering Services submitted the site plans for Pinnacle Dairy in mid-October. He insists that the entire ground is perched above a dense layer of clay. Williams maintains that this geological feature can be engineered to divert sub-surface water away from massive containment structures, which the mega dairy would require. The plans propose four huge waste storage facilities with a combined usable capacity of more than 95 million gallons of liquid manure, serving six free stall barns. One structure open to the air would be concrete; the other three, plastic-lined. The 5-page rejection letter from the DNR, however, laid out three areas Williams has not addressed in submissions the last two months. Williams is relying largely on

evidence from a single test pit dug in December and filled back in shortly after a minimum observation period. Williams conJEN RIEMER tends that this pit revealed a 20-foot layer of clay more than 17 feet below the soil’s surface. DNR staff note, though, that four other test pits “within the footprint of two of the proposed waste site facilities found no thick clay layer.” They also raised red flags about soil moisture content tests, sample storage, timing of sample collection, soil field water capacity measurement, feasibility of draining the field should a perched system, indeed prove

beneath the site, and possible springs at the site. Jen Riemer, who with her husband Bryce, has led local opposition of Pinnacle Dairy, greeted the DNR permit rejection with caution. “It is not over,” Riemer said. “The DNR engineer pointed out that there is about a 50/50 chance that the site is perched. If it is not, Williams could still engineer different plans, but that would likely by very costly to them.” Additional test pits and four ground water monitoring wells, the DNR letter stated, should be employed “to help determine whether the near surface saturation at the proposed dairy site is perched or if it is regional groundwater.” This might also provide important information to determine feasibility of draining as much

as 20 acres at the site to construct and safely operate waste containment at the dairy. The Todd Tuls family, which operates two huge milking operations in Nebraska and a third southeast of Janesville, hoped to start constructing the fourth dairy in Sylvester Township in 2016. Without a state Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit, however, the dairy won’t be able to operate. That means providing more evidence to the DNR to move forward. Attorneys and engineers for the Pinnacle Dairy proposal have 30 days from Jan. 22 to request judicial review or file for a contested case hearing. If the Tuls elect to construct the four monitoring wells, they could take as long as 2 years to build them.

Tasty food event teaches students in Albany ALBANY — Seventh and eighth grade students worked on a food truck unit in a recent project that integrated a number of subjects in a fun way. During this unit, students were introduced to advertising and marketing by Chris Lange( General Store and New Image Salon), menu choices by Shannon Sheflin (Gabriellas), costs and work involved in starting up a business by Ann Richmond (Brodhead TasteeCreme). Students did further investigation in the classroom on food choice in various cultures. Students split into five food trucks (French, Swiss, Polish, Italian, and Hispanic). Within these groups, they decided which foods to cook

within a budget allotment. Students calculated cost and quantity to set their menus. They created an ad to promote their truck and learned how to mark up prices to cover expenses. This helped them understand how business expenses of electricity, machine maintenance, building rent, employee salaries, all need to be covered when operating a business. Each room of students collectively designed a truck with a goal of making it appealing to the consumer eye and to attract customers to the truck. In the culminating activity of this study, students cooked and treated fellow 7th through 8th Courtesy Photos grade students to their culinary Kaitlyn Dunphy and Dalton delights.

Edgewood staff coach Albany seniors on Financial Aid 101 By Beth Blakemore Correspondent

ALBANY — Seniors and their parents got coaching and insight into how to tap resources to fund next educational steps after high school last Wednesday, Jan 20. Katie Sprunger, Assistant Director of Financial Aid at Edgewood College, presented “Financial Aid 101” to an attentive group in the Media Room of Albany Schools. Sprunger shared information with them regarding how to register online for FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The national program is provided by the U.S. Department of Education at https://fafsa.ed.gov/deadlines. htm Sprunger stressed that “it takes everyone,” the student, parents, institution, government, working together for students to complete this financial aid process successfully. The goal should always be “to get your student through the application process with

as much free money as possible,” so that he or she can cope with the formidable expense of attaining a higher degree from a college or university, she said. In an FAFSA appliction, it takes 14 or 15 pages of information for reviewers to assess how much financial aid to provide a servant. “FAFSA measures your ability to pay for school,” she said. It is important to note that FAFSA does not consider the value of a primary residence, consumer debt and retirement. To determine financial need, reviewers subtract the cost of attendance from expected final contribution. Your “need changes based on the cost of attendance for different schools.” Sprunger dicussed scholarhips, grants, loans and employment opportunities. Scholarships can be for academic, creative talent, athletic talent, and ethnicity/ religion. Students should evaluate whether a given scholarhip program or authority requires specific outcomes of applicants,

such as majoring in a narrow area of study – art, for instance. By filling out FAFSA information on line, a student is “automatically considered for grants.” Loans for college or university study can be complicated; each applicant must ask himself or herself, “Is this really best for me?” Both student and parent need to get a FAFSA ID to access the online program’s information. On FAFSA, students can list up to 10 schools in their first application process. More prospective schools in the application process can be addes later. Albany students Haley Mueller, Anna Laughlin, Brittney DorsApplicants will get a financial ey, and Chase Sloniker in back ready to make Swiss food to aid package. order. If a student does not want to wait for FAFSA, he or she can employ a net price calculator, “a good estimate of what your student’s aid package will be.” In filling out FAFSA “you want to look at cost, minus aid, Thursday, Jan. 28 not just most aid.” *High school boys’ basketball at Barneveld, 6 to 9 p.m. Contact Sprunger at 608Friday, Jan. 29 663-2306 for additional details. *Middle school wrestling at Edgerton, 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 30 *High school wrestling invitational at Fort Atkinson, 9 to 10 a.m. *Parents night out at the Community center, 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 31 *High school softball open gym at Juda, 1 to 3:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 1 *High school JV wrestling invite at Evansville, 4 to 6 p.m. *High school JV girls basketball at Cassville, 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 2 *Middle school wrestling home (Evansville) vs. Brodhead, 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 3 *Adult open gym in the high school gym from 7 to 9 p.m. A group of adults, average age 74, * Denotes an Albany school program; for more participated in 10 training information, call 608-862-3225 sessions in a six-week period that -Denotes an Albany community center event.

Ready to ride? ATV advocates seek trail link to Brodhead By Tony Ends Editor

MONROE — Green County members of the Tri-County Trail Commission got advice from a couple of long-time trail development stewards last Thursday, Jan. 21. Scattered residents of Green townships from west to east have been pressing again to extend an All-Terrain Vehicle trail to Brodhead. Brodhead Mayor Doug Pinnow and Chamber of Commerce representative Dusty Kubly have been meeting monthly since November to support this effort. Cross-county trail progress, however, has hung up for 10 years in the Town of Jefferson, where voters may finally decide the issue by referendum. Lafayette County Board member Gerald Heimann, who chairs the trail commission for Lafayette, Iowa and Green counties, and Lafayette Highway Commissioner Tom Jean shared a wealth of experience last week.

“I’ve had calls from between 10 and 15 counties asking about our trail system in Lafayette,” Jean told commission members gathered in Green County’s historic court house. “Vilas County is going to try it. Lafayette has the most trail miles in the state; Adams County has quite a few trail miles, too. “When they see their mom and pop hotels fill up and people using their trails putting $100 bills down in taverns – and spending the whole thing in a night on food and drink, they understand what the trails do for the economy,” Jean said. UW Extension study of the Cheese Country Trail, primarily in Lafayette, but extending to Mineral Point and Monroe, confirms this economic impact. The 12-month, 2011 study showed trail users spent more than $15 million, with at least 98,000 people using the trail. Completed with help from more than 70 volunteers, the study showed the trail supported more than 190 local jobs, com-

pensating trail-related work on average $28,000 a year. “When your county only has 16,000 people, a recreational trail is an industry, “Heimann said. “We started with a single trail in Lafayette County. Nine years ago, we had 140 miles of road route trails connected to the Cheese Country; today we have 460 miles. “I attended a lot of meetings that helped make that happen. We’ve got the approval of every town now. The biggest thing is convincing the town boards to go along with trail creation,” said Heimann, of rural Gratiot. “Since 1985, Wisconsin farmers have been able to buy a sticker for their ATV that lets them go from farm to farm to do farm work. Why can’t we make it legal for everyone to do that? That’s part of what’s at issue here.” Heimann has lived in Lafayette County all his life. From his own 107-acre farm on County Highway KK, he once raised crops on a total of 600 acres, milked

160 cows and managed 950 livestock. When the cyclical price of milk dropped to $9 per hundred weight (and cost of proTOM JEAN duction was averaging $15 per hundred weight, Heimann quit farming. “My wife, the kids and I liked camping. As the kids got older GERALD and busy, HEIMANN there was less time for it. I looked into rezoning our land, got permits and approvals. We converted our farm to a campground,” Heimann said. “It’s called the Back Yard; it has 70 camp sites. Last year we had 60 full-time seasonal sites sold – April to the end of October. We’re too cheap; a seasonal fee is only $650. I sold the cows about 8 years ago; I still miss it at times; my wife misses the calves, but the whole family pitches in. We’ve had the campground open 8 years.” Kubly helped former Community Resource Development Educator Cara Carper and other volunteers with UW Extension’s economic impact study. Cheese Country Trail is predominantly in Lafayette, but a trail map shows quite a network linking campsites, facilities and businesses around Monroe. Kubly has been hosting longtime proponents of linking popular tri-county snowmobile and ATV trails with Brodhead in monthly meetings at Bridges Bar and Grill. “This is about promoting tourism dollars and the industry,” Kuby said in a phone interview last month. “It’s about helping the community. We’ve been discussing what we think we need to do to make an ATV trail come

all the way to Brodhead. We’re doing our homework; we’re trying to come up with two or three alternative routes, working on map options with different trail configurations.” Kubly has been attending town meetings around Brodhead, too. Advocates have been discussing trail prospects for bringing ATV trails in neighboring counties and west of Monroe all the way to Brodhead. Pinnow says the state DNR would make money available for a shower and facilities at a trail head campground for ATV-ers in Brodhead. The trail effort ties in with Pearl Island Recreational Corridor development and local festivals to boost the local economy. Townships almost everywhere reject ATV trail development initially, Heimann and Jean agreed. “We had a guy in one township got up a petition against an ATV trail connection, who came back 6 months after the trail was in use and apologized to me,” Jean said. “He told me it was nothing like what he had thought it would be. It was families riding together. It was people in their 50s and 60s out on the trail. “ATVs are actually a lot less noisy than snow mobiles and motorcycles, and the accidents and trouble people envision from permitting their trail use just doesn’t happen.” Lafayette has developed a model All-Terrain Vehicle Route Ordinance. Townships can tailor the rules to their roads, countryside and residents’ concerns. They can also try out an ATV trail for a year or so and rescind permission if they encounter problems. The economic study did indicate two-thirds of the Cheese Country Trail to be visitors and tourists from outside the tricounty, with an average age of 45. In Lafayette County, a safety committee reviews plans for any proposed trail. Jean visits the trail with Sheriff Reggie Gill. The DNR requires much signage to ensure safety, too.

TAX TIME 2016 IRS gets tax season under way toward April 18 filing deadline WASHINGTON — After reviewing tax extenders legislation signed into law in December, the Internal Revenue Service began the nation’s tax season last week on Tuesday, Jan. 19. The IRS began accepting individual electronic returns that day. The IRS expects to receive more than 150 million individual returns in 2016. More than four out of five will be prepared using tax return preparation software and e-filed. The IRS began processing paper tax returns at the same time. There was no advantage to people filing tax returns on

paper in early January instead of waiting for e-file to begin. “We look forward to opening the 2016 tax season on time,” IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said, in an announcement ahead of last week’s tax opening. “Our employees worked hard throughout 2015 to make this happen. “We also appreciate the help from the nation’s tax professionals and the software community, who are critically important to helping taxpayers during the filing season.” As part of the Security Summit initiative, the IRS worked closely with the tax industry and state revenue departments

to provide stronger protections against identity theft for taxpayers during the coming filing season. The filing deadline to submit 2015 tax returns is Monday, April 18, 2016, rather than the traditional April 15 date. Washington D.C., will celebrate Emancipation Day on that Friday, which pushes the deadline to the following Monday for most of the nation. (Due to Patriots Day, the deadline will be Tuesday, April 19, in Maine and Massachusetts.) Koskinen said the new legislation makes permanent many provisions and extends many others for several years. “This

provides certainty for planning purposes, which will help taxpayers and the tax community as well as the IRS,” he said. The IRS urges all taxpayers to make sure they have all their year-end statements in hand before filing, including Forms W-2 from employers, Forms 1099 from banks and other payers, and Form 1095-A from the Marketplace for those claiming the premium tax credit. “We encourage taxpayers to take full advantage of the expanding array of tools and information on IRS.gov to make their tax preparation easier,” Koskinen said.

Parkview FFA attends FFA state Halftime Conference By Kathy Heider For Parkview Schools

STEVENS POINT — Miranda Connell and Dalton Ryan of the Parkview Future Farmers of America Club Chapter attended the Wisconsin Association of FFA Half-Time Leadership Conference Jan. 8 and 9. More than 500 FFA members, advisors and state FFA officers participated in the conference, held at Stevens Point Holiday Inn and Convention Center. The Half-Time Leadership Conference provides FFA chapter leaders from around the state the opportunity to set goals and prepare for the second half of their year of service in their local FFA chapters. FFA members attended leadership, personal development, membership and chapter development, and opportunities in FFA workshops. They learned about preparing for FFA events and getting involved in community service.

The Half-Time conference is a 30-year-old tradition for the Wisconsin Association of FFA. It brings top FFA leaders from across the state together to learn more about what they can do in their local FFA chapters. The 2015-2016 state FFA officers designed and conducted this year’s leadership conference. Its theme was “The Case of the Missing Be...” “Half-Time is one of the premier leadership conferences in our state and designed by student leaders. It allows FFA chapter leaders to develop their leadership skills, learn more about FFA activities and meet people while having fun,” said Cheryl Zimmerman, State FFA Executive Director. “We’re able to provide young people with an excellent experience to develop their leadership skills and get them excited about agriculture, agricultural education and the FFA to build their local programs,” Zimmer-

man said. FFA advisors were also busy during the weekend, as they attended training sessions in the areas of Meat Animal Quality Assurance, Agricultural Safety, Award Applications and other agricultural education sessions. Teachers were also involved in the Wisconsin Association of Agricultural Educators (WAAE) Board and Committee meetings. Wisconsin Association of FFA comprised of 250 local chapters in high schools across the state prepares more than 19,000 students for leadership and careers in science, business and technology of agriculture. FFA activities and programs complement instruction in agriculture education, giving students practical experience in applying agricultural skills and knowledge gained in classes.

Mentors needed for future grassland farmers DODGEVILLE — A search for farmers to serve as mentors to beginning livestock farmers has been launched in Southwest Wisconsin. According to Robert Bauer, Grazing Broker for Southwest Badger RC&D, “mentorships ensure a future for grassland agriculture.” The effort is part of a program called the Mentorship Program for Future Livestock Farmers. The program builds on existing mentorship programs in the region by training mentors, paying mentors, and connecting participants with grassland acres to rent for wellmanaged grazing through the Grazing Broker. “We are looking for mentors with experience with managed grazing and livestock production” stated Bauer. “We will help mentors and beginners to assess what they can offer and what they hope to learn from a mentorship. We also encourage experienced farmers to apply as beginners to access support and learn new skills such as grass-

finishing, grass-dairying, or organic livestock production.” The deadline to apply for mentors and beginners is next Monday, Feb. 1. Application forms are available online at www.swbadger.org/beginningfarmers or by request at 608732-1202. The kickoff is scheduled for Feb. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Quality Inn, 1345 Business Park Rd, Mineral Point, where the Grazing Broker will host an orientation for participants in the program. Dr. Allen Williams, a sixthgeneration beef farmer, former USDA meat inspector, and grass fed beef expert will guide participants through the principles of a successful grass-fed operation. The workshop is co-sponsored by The Pasture Project and the Wisconsin Grass-Fed Beef Cooperative. The cost for the workshop and lunch is $20 per person. Scholarships are available for military veterans. The event is open to the pub-

State budget cuts forcing reorganization of state Extension Service By Tony Ends Editor

DARLINGTON — An aftershock of $125 million in budget cuts to the UW System last July is beginning to shake the UW Extension Service. Farmers and county agriculture committee members from four counties accompanied their local Extension agents to a meeting here last week to hear the bad news. It came in the form of 26 pages of Reorganization Recommendations to deal with a forced 8.2 percent budget cut to Cooperative Extension across the state. No one in the room of about 50 people seemed pleased. “I don’t like this any more than you do,” state Cooperative Extension Dean and Director Rick Klemme told the crowd. “We had a model that works, and now we have to change it. We simply don’t have the reserves that the big campuses have. We have to make decisions. We’re facing $3.6 million in cuts.” Nearly 50 people from Grant, Lafayette, Iowa and Green counties met with Klemme here in the community room of the Town Bank last Friday. Extension offices in the fourcounty area staff a total of 14 people. In a variety of roles, these people extend the knowl-

edge, resources and research of the public universities to the people of Wisconsin. From livestock, crops and horticulture agents, to 4-H, nutrition and community educators, the work of Extension touches people in every county, every year in Wisconsin. The state cuts will not affect nutrition services, which are largely federally funded. Feedback on the staffing model reorganization, with its charts, symbols, diagrams and very academic language gave an earful to Klemme and staff accompanying him. Farmers and supervisors representing farmers testified to help they’ve received from local extension agents. -They favored relationships with staff over increasing technology-delivered education. -They defended 4-H programs and feared impending impact on rural young people. -They pointed out the proportional commitment reflected in the roughly 40 percent contribution rural counties make to staff local Extension Services. -They doubted any change that shifts education duties away from local offices and boots on the ground to university staff in Madison would win confidence of local farmers. -They decried cultural priorities at a time when livestock

and crop producers are reeling from fallen commodity prices and high production costs. “The University of Wisconsin was built on agriculture, not athletics,” quipped one participant from the local counties, who pleaded for rural youths, not “sports jocks” to receive funding priority. Green County Extension agent Mark Mayer, who attended Friday’s meeting, said that he couldn’t comment on the specifics of the Reorganization Recommendations. “We don’t know enough yet,” Mayer said. “There’ll be fewer people (working in Extension); that’s all we know.” Local comments and critiques

of the plan to deal with Extension cuts will go back to Chancellor Cathy Sandeen by Jan. 29. A steering committee with 10 to 12 working groups of 5 to 8 people each will hash out final decisions over 6 months as to how Extension Services offices will eventually absorb the cuts. Adjustments will be made if problems arise after reorganization is implemented. “These proposals are a starting point,” Klemme said. “We are taking input through the end of this month.” One state lawmaker, 51st District Rep. Todd Novak, who represents much of the 4-county area, including the western half of Green, attended Friday’s

meeting. “I didn’t vote for the budget,” Novak said. “I feel sure some of my colleagues in the Legislature are not aware of what’s going on here.” While the UW University System bore the brunt of negative comments and suspicions of sizable reserves, little attention was paid Gov. Walker’s State of the State address, given just days earlier. “Wisconsin finished the fiscal year with a $135.6 million budget surplus,” stated the governor in a release this week, “and the state’s rainy day fund is the largest in our history -- a whopping 165 times bigger than when we first took office.”

scholarship roundup Baxter makes Dean’s List KENOSHA — A total 972 students were named to the Fall Carthage College Dean’s List. Dean’s List honors are accorded to Carthage students who achieve a 3.5 grade-point average while carrying at least 14 credit hours during a semester. Erica Baxter, of Brodhead, achieved the honor. Carthage College, a 4-year, private liberal arts college with roots in the Lutheran tradition, is in Kenosha. The campus is an 80-acre arboretum on Lake Michigan. It has 2,500 full-time and 400 parttime students.

UW Milwaukee graduation includes four from area MILWAUKEE – Four local students were among more than 1,900 candidates for degrees attending UW Milwaukee commencement exercises in December 2015. From Brodhead were Adam Duane Hunt (Bachelor of Arts), Michael Edward Schoeller (Bachelor of Science), Eric Jonathan Wahl (Bachelor of Science); and from Orfordville, Kali Lorraine Phillips (Bachelor of Science in Engineering). UWM is the second largest university in the State of Wisconsin, with more than 27,000 undergraduate and graduate students.

BTC Dash grants available to help students in need JANESVILLE — Blackhawk Technical College (BTC) is one of 31 technical and community colleges in a four-state region to receive a Dash emergency grant from the Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation. Dash grants help financially strapped BTC students overcome financial obstacles that might otherwise cause them to drop out. Blackhawk has received $38,700 from Great Lakes. Low-income students can apply for the grants to help cover expenses just beyond their means. This money is intended to help such students quickly return focus to their academic pursuits. It is part of a $1.5 million grant program from Great Lakes. “The Dash Emergency Grant Program through Great Lakes allows Blackhawk Technical College to better support our students,’’ said Elizabeth Horvath, BTC

Director of Advancement and Community Relations. Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation has made funds available to schools in Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Ohio. Dash is based on the success of an emergency grant program that Great Lakes piloted at the 16 schools of the Wisconsin Technical College System from 2012 to 2015. More than 2,600 students received grants averaging $500 in that time. Of students who received emergency grants, 73 percent either graduated or remained enrolled. Blackhawk is making student emergency grants of up to $500 each this spring. Qualified expenses will be paid within 48 hours of application approval. Students also will be referred to additional campus, community and financial literacy resources to supplement the grants, address root causes or contributing factors to the financial emergencies, and further support students’ persistence. To serve greater numbers of students throughout the Great Lakes grant period and beyond, Blackhawk will contribute matching funds during the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 academic years. For more information or to pledge support to the BTC Foundation, contact Horvath at (608) 757-7704.
