What Wisconsin needs to reform most of all Gov. Walker signed Executive Order No. 179 on Nov. 3 to create the Governor’s Commission on Government Reform, Efficiency and Performance. The goal of the commission is to explore ways to increase efficiency and look for better ways to operate state government. While I don’t expect the commission to make earth shattering changes, there are certainly places where state government can be more efficient. Three places that have already been identified as badly needing reform are the state’s computer and accounting systems, the Transportation Fund and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC). The State Transforming Agency Resources (STAR) Project
will consolidate the accounting systems to improve efficiency and modernize the technical infrastructure JANIS at all state RINGHAND agencies. State Senator This com15th Senate p r e h e n s i v e District accounting system will be more cost-effective than having each agency use a separate computer system. The STAR system will make it easier to identify duplicative services and administration. Where there are duplicative services, we need to make sure we are getting the best bang for
our buck and that people are not falling through the cracks. Wisconsin needs a long term funding solution for our transportation and infrastructure needs. Funding the transportation budget on credit is one of the “false choices” that the Governor and majority Republicans have made. We need to stop kicking the can down road and implement a long-term funding solution to meet our transportation needs and repair our crumbling roads, bridges and rail lines. We cannot borrow our way out of this crisis. The debt service on the borrowing alone puts us further behind each year. There have been more than
300 crashes on I-39/90 in Rock County this year alone. More than 80 people were injured and three were killed during this period. Our highway infrastructure is rated as the 3rd worst in the nation with 71 percent of our roads and bridges in poor or mediocre condition and our rail lines are literally falling apart. Clearly, we are doing something wrong. Perhaps the most obvious place for government reform right now is at WEDC. The ongoing problems at WEDC are a clear example of waste, fraud and abuse. WEDC has been responsible for handing out hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate welfare with little or no accountability.
Pastor’s Corner Sign up open for 2016 thanks for tion of the coming of Christ. Landscape Pesticide Registry Giving We wait with the ancients for response of the MADISON — The Landscape Pesticide Registry is now available to sign up for the 2016 growing season. You can request that professional lawn care companies notify you when they are going to apply pesticides to lawns, trees and shrubs on the block where you live, or on blocks immediately adjacent. Register online until Feb. 1 at http://datcpservices.wisconsin. gov/landreg. Participation in the registry is free. If you are new to the registry, signing up is a two-step process: First, you will register, providing your email address, street address and telephone number, and set up a password. Second, enter the addresses for which you want notification. Unless you complete both steps, businesses will be unable to notify you. The password will provide you access to see what addresses you’ve entered and edit that information. If you are already an active user of the registry, you should have received an email from
the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection reminding you to renew your participation. You will not have to re-enter addresses that you entered last year. You will have to indicate that you want to keep them on your notification list. You may continue adding addresses until Feb. 1, when the registry will be closed to the public so department staff can review it for incorrect and ineligible addresses. It will take effect March 15, when pesticide applicators will be able to search it to find out if any of their clients’ addresses have been listed. The registry applies only to professional landscape applications. Homeowners or landlords who do their own applications are not covered by the notification requirements, nor are applications to the inside or outside of buildings. The registry does not allow for notification of pesticide use in agriculture, or for you to be notified about applications around your workplace or your children’s school or day care center.
Beginning to look like Christmas

Thomas Steele unloads Christmas trees from North Carolina last Wednesday. Steele’s at the corner of State Highways 104 and 11 have sold trees during the holidays for the better part of 20 years in Brodhead. “We quit for a few years but started up again about 4 years ago,” Steele said. “We also make 20 to 25 sorts of decorations with the greens – door swags, wreaths, table ornaments – you name it. I’ll be making things dawn until dark for about 3weeks. We’ve had the best luck with North Carolina trees. They hold their needles better. Customers keep coming back and commenting on that.”
faithful to refugees As I write this, we all are inundated with news about terror attacks in Beirut, Paris, Baghdad, and Syria. Along PASTOR PEDER with it is JOHANSON news of BETHLEHEM fearful reacLutheran tions among Church, our political Brodhead leaders. Our own governor has joined more than half the governors in this country in declaring a ban on helping refugees from Syria. Current law does not grant them the power to deny settlement, but our own governor has gone so far as to order our state agencies not to provide assistance to refugees from Syria. I have listened to one of our state’s representatives in Congress issue a warning that welcoming Syrian refugees would lead to terrorists taking advantage of our “compassion” and put us in danger. Most troubling is that a leading presidential candidate has gone so far as to suggest registering all who identify as Muslims, hinting at issuing special identification based on religion. Don’t help the vulnerable, we hear. Don’t be compassionate, we are told. Be afraid, sings the chorus. As I write this, I am also deep in preparation for our congregation’s observance of the Advent season, the weeks that lead us to Christmas. In our tradition, we do not yet sing Christmas carols or proclaim Jesus’ birth. We wait. We spend these upcoming weeks in quiet, hopeful anticipa-
the birth of a messiah. We wait with the Church for his coming again. We wait with the world for peace to be made complete. As Christians, we wait for Jesus. We wait for love. We wait for redemption, for compassion, and for a word that whispers “don’t be afraid.” It is a hard place to be, torn between an Advent hope and a fearful world. My heart hurts over the violence and ignorance that tears at humanity. My spirit grieves over the political use of my own personal “safety and security” (as if anyone could guarantee such a thing) in justifying the wholesale rejection of those who are actually and literally victims of the very terror and violence we condemn. As I wait with the Church of every place and time for the incarnation of God to heal this broken world, I am torn between my anger over the way things are and my desire to hope in something better. The Advent experience is always unsettling, but it seems this year that it is primed to be a particularly difficult journey to Bethlehem. One source of hope for me as I enter these weeks of anticipation and prayer, however, is the rare unity I have witnessed among American Christians this week. In the midst of this fearful rhetoric and shameful rejection of compassion to the vulnerable, we have seen a swift and powerful response from Christians of all theological and political leanings. They have raised their collective voice in solidarity with the refugees who face rejection by our elected leaders. While Christians in this country can find disagreement on countless theological and social matters, there seems to be a shared recognition and remembrance this week.

Taxpayer subsidized grants and loans have been lost at WEDC. Campaign contributors and unscrupulous businesses have often been the beneficiaries of WEDC awards. I support a complete overhaul at WEDC and am happy to see that legislative leaders have finally come around to accepting the need for change at the organization. Wisconsin citizens are also able to submit suggestions for the commission to consider. If you can think of ways to make state government more efficient, submit suggestions by using the online form at http:// walker.wi.gov/content/citizensuggestions.
It is a revived proclamation. It insists that in following Jesus we give refuge to those in need. As we await the celebration of the birth of Christ, we remember that the infant Jesus was himself a refugee. We remember that his family was forced to flee their homeland under threat of violence and terror, wrought by those whose hearts were governed by fear and a pursuit of power (Matthew 2:13-18). We remember that he was born into poverty and shared in the vulnerability of an oppressed people (Luke 2:8-12), that his very birth was marked by the shame and indignity of having no place of shelter or refuge but a feed trough (2:7). We’re remembering the story that grants us hope, and we’re telling it together. For this I am grateful. For this I am hopeful. That our leaders hear us and join us in daring to love as God loves, I pray. Would you join me?

CULTIVATING THANKFULNESS
The latest research on this topic suggests that a consistent attitude of gratitude may have multiple health benefits including better cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, and improved immune system, less stress, better sleep, and reduced risk of depression. To foster thankfulness, start your day by giving thanks for five people in your life. Be thankful for simple things (morning coffee, sunshine, running water). Acknowledge your riches, count your blessings. Look for the positive in negative situations. Express thanks to others with words and deeds. Keep a gratitude journal; record a few things each day.

UW-Green County Extension Master Gardeners earn certification MONROE — Thirty-six Green County area residents were recently recognized for earning their Master Gardener Certification at the recent annual meeting of the Green County Master Gardeners Association. The main functions of the group are to serve the needs of all horticulturists in the Green County area, provide continuing education for its members, provide community services through volunteer activities, exchange gardening ideas, promote responsible and sound gardening practices and to provide a link between the community and UW-Extension. To earn the UW-Extension Master Gardener Certification participants are required to complete 36 hours of classroom training. They must also complete at least 24 hours of community service before receiving their UW-Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Certification. Recertification is required annually and to retain their certification, Master Gardeners must participate in a minimum of 10 hours of educational development in addition to providing 24 hours of volunteer service each
year. The South Central Wisconsin Master Gardeners Association was formed in Green County in 2004 to provide Master Gardeners with opportunities for professional development and community service. More than 125 people have been trained since that time. Members of the association volunteered 255 hours of community education and 1856 hours in community service projects throughout Green County this past year. A few examples of their community involvement include working with Monroe Main Street to design and plant the “Asquarium” on the square in Monroe and providing square foot gardens for students in the New Glarus Schools. Five Master Gardener Volunteers were honored for achieving 150 hours of service: Sharon Adams, Mary Jackson, Ricky Kiesling, Roseann Meixelsperger and Tamara Schulte. Theresa Colney, Mary Nelson, and Paul Roemer were recognized for 250 hours of volunteer service. Lynn Lokken and Cheryl Rezabek were recognized for achieving 500 hours of volunteer

his is the last of the three part series that I will be writing about our alpaca business. The first two editorials can be found in the July and August issues of Midwest Farm &Ag. There I wrote of how we got started in the alpaca business and what is required to care for these wonderful animals. It’s time I answered the question, “Why do you raise alpacas?” Despite the fact that they are so easy to care for, it’s all about the fiber/hair/wool. As I mentioned in the last article, we shear our alpacas once a year in the spring to harvest their fiber. Each shear-
ing produces roughly five to 10 pounds of fiber per animal per year. Most people are unaware of the unique qualities of alpaca fiber compared to most other natural fibers. Hopefully this article will change that! This fiber, often compared to cashmere, can be turned into many different finished products from yarn and rovings to sweaters, socks, gloves, hats, blankets and rugs. The fleece itself is recognized globally for its fineness, softness, light weight, durability, excellent thermal qualities and luster.

ties. Compared to wool from most breeds of sheep, alpaca fiber is stronger, lighter and warmer. Finer grades of alpaca fiber (known commercially as “Baby Alpaca”) are believed to be hypo-allergenic, meaning they do not irritate your skin as sheep’s wool sometimes does. Unlike sheep’s wool, alpaca fiber contains little to no lanolin. Because of this, it does not require the cleaning that is required for sheep’s wool and is ready to spin with very little effort. After shearing day, we prep our fiber for shipping. The prep that we do is called “skirting.” Basically, we put the fiber from each animal on a table made out of chicken wire. We then pick out any debris such as straw and grass. We also flip it so any second cuts (short fibers) from the shearing fall through the wire. This goes back to getting a quality shearing job. Once skirted, we send the fiber to various outlets to have it processed, depending on whether we want yarn or rovings or finished products. One place we send fiber to for finished product is AFCNA (Alpaca Fiber Co-Op of North America) . We then buy back finished product that is available in our farm store. In addition to selling the fleece and the animals, many breeders of alpacas operate an end products retail store on or off their farms. Our alpaca farm store has alpaca apparel, including beautiful sweaters, scarves, hats, mittens and more. We also have alpaca yarns, blankets, teddy bears and rugs. Once people have felt the softness and warmth of wearing alpaca, they want to come back for more, either for themselves or as gifts for others. What better gift could you give someone than the gift of warmth! Well, this concludes my articles about our alpacas. Thank you for all the kind comments I

Create holiday gifts that keep on giving By Melinda Myers
Make this holiday season one filled with creating memories and gifts that keep giving throughout the year. Terrariums have made a comeback and make wonderful do-it-yourself projects and gifts for beginning and experienced gardeners. They enable gardeners to continue to grow no matter the weather outdoors and can be updated and used as decorations throughout the year with some simple updating for holidays and other special occasions. Just add a few ceramic items like a Christmas tree ornament, ceramic bunny or other adornment or two that represent the season. Don’t know where to start? No problem. You can create your own from an old glass jar or vase or purchase an elegant terrarium with copper bottom guaranteed to create the perfect stage for your tabletop garden. Or purchase a terrarium kit that includes the plants, container and all you need. For the artist, young or old, and avid bird-
er, consider a green birdhouse. These biodegradable birdhouses are made from 100% recycled paper and designed to last through one nesting season. You will have fun decorating it with stickers, markers or paint, making this a gift you and the birds will enjoy. Plus, once the season is over, there’s no need for cleaning. It can simply be added to the compost pile. Not feeling artistic? No worries. Give a decorative treat for the birds. Those with live Christmas trees can extend their enjoyment by decorating the tree with colorful birdseed ornaments once it is moved outdoors. Make your own ornaments from suet, peanut butter and birdseed or purchase ready-made ones. And no green thumb is needed for this DIY holiday beauty. Easy care waxed amaryllis bulbs (gardeners.com) are self contained and easy to grow. The bulb is sealed in gold or silver wax, making it both decorative and low maintenance. There’s no watering or container needed.
Just set it in a bright location and wait for the floral display to appear before your eyes. You’ll be enjoying big blooms for several weeks. Stay on your diet as the holiday approaches with a sugar-free advent calendar. You can make your own from felt and fabric glue or start a family tradition by purchasing a handcrafted advent calendar like the wooden bird cottage advent calendar (gardeners.com) that celebrates nature and the holiday. Each day leading to Christmas you’ll remove a bird from its cubby in the cottage. Peg it to the birdhouse and watch the flock grow. Your friends and family will know Christmas is coming each year when you break out the calendar. It’s sure to provide years of memories and could soon become a family heirloom. Make this the year for creating memorable gifts, trying something new or packaging DIY projects that are sure to provide seasons of fun and beauty.

Albany, Monticello, Juda students put hands creatively together By Tony Ends Editor
JUDA — Mobile Ed Production’s STEAM museum pulled off State Highway 11 into the Juda School Friday. In three hour-long sessions, the gym-size, portable, handson museum got creative wheels turning for students from three Green County schools. Albany and Monticello school districts bused students for separate sessions in Juda’s gym. The hands-on museum then repeated a third time for Juda students. Across a dozen participatory learning stations around the gym, all students in each session got to roam freely – building, designing, programming, handling, even powering, exhibits that engaged them in STEAM. The acronym stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. It advocates for a relatively new nationwide initiative. STEAM seeks to create critical thinkers, increase science literacy and spur a new generation of innovators. Mobile Ed Production’s repertoire of STEAM exhibits includes robots, both big and small. “Nao,” pronounced now, a $10,000 humanoid robot, led off each school’s STEAM session with a dazzling performance. From a table platform in
Juda’s gym, the 23-inch-tall, 9 ½ lb. robot demonstrated just how sophisticated Linux-based operating systems in robots with sensors, microphones, cameras and speakers have become. Amazed trios of Albany, Monticello and Juda students followed Nao in tai chi exercises that had all but the robot about to double up and fall over with glee. Dave Mitchell, who tours the museum from school to school for Mobile Ed Productions, told the students that Nao is only available outside such sessions with students to research labs and institutions. First developed in France less than 10 years ago, Nao robots have been put to research and educational purposes in facilities worldwide, at least 50 countries.

Civil suit alleges student suffered from pattern of bullying By Tony Ends Editor
ALBANY — School officials had not received a summons last week concerning a civil suit filed in federal court alleging a pattern of bullying against a mentally disabled child. The 14-page complaint under federal laws protecting Americans with Disabilities and Title V of the federal Rehabilitation Act, was filed in the U.S. Western District Court of Wisconsin. Its plaintiff, who is now 16 and has been attending high school in Brodhead since fall 2014, was formerly a student in Albany. He has a diagnosis of autism, Asperger syndrome and Attention Deficit Disorder. Middleton attorney Kurt C. Kobert of Arellano and Phebus law firm filed a complaint for the student and his mother, alleging more than 20 bullying incidents over a 2-year period while he was enrolled in Albany public schools. “The complaint will be served on the (Albany School) District in the near future in accordance with the law,” Kobert stated last Friday by email. “ The District will then answer, and the court will establish a trial date. There is no requirement to mediate or notify the District before filing suit and we will engage in mediation as the suit progresses if the District is willing to do so,” Kobert said. Reached at a conference in Wausau by telephone last week, Albany School District Superintendent Stephen Guenther said he had not seen the complaint and could not comment on it. “I can assure you that our schools are safe,” Guenther said. “Anything that is brought to our

One of the new voting machines delivered to rural town halls and municipalities last week in Green County stands ready for voting in Brodhead City Hall last week. All but three of the 22 new voting machines went out to rural town halls and municipalities around the county. The three remaining in Monroe will train clerks and election inspectors in early 2016.
Green County townships and municipalities get new voting machines By Tony Ends Editor
MONROE — Green County Clerk Mike Doyle delivered new voting machines to rural townships and municipalities a week ago Monday. Doyle rented a truck and managed to deliver all but three of the 22 new Dominion Voting machines in two trips the same day. Doyle held back three of the leased machines for local town, village and city clerks, as well as 22 chief election inspectors, to receive training in January. The county’s 16 townships and Monticello, Albany, Brodhead, Monroe, New Glarus and Browntown are all getting the new voting machines. For years, the county clerk has helped coordinate uniform voting machine use through almost all the county’s voting districts. This greatly simplifies tabulation and reporting of votes on election days and nights,
but also controls costs, which almost no election district in the county could or would want to carry alone. The voting machines that the polling places in Green County used the past 15 years were starting to fail. An 8-year lease for the 22 new computerized optical scanning voting machines costs more than $400,000, Doyle said. “It will cost more than $50,000 a year; each of the 22 townships and municipalities will pay $2,000, and the county will take care of the balance,” he said. “Plus we’ll take care of the printing of the ballots, advertising notices and supplies. The ballots cost 25 cents each, which isn’t cheap.” The only municipalities in Green County that do not collaborate within the county are Belleville and Brooklyn, which work with Dane County on elections.

Putting our gratitude for trees into action MONROE — Remember about a month ago the warmer weather and the colorful fall foliage? Weren’t we blessed and thankful for the wonderful colors? How about during the hot summer? We were all thankful to have some shade from trees. Birds, squirrels, rabbits, and other critters are thankful to have a home and food from the trees. Do you want to keep the colors and shade coming, or do you wish to keep the birds singing and the animals cavorting around your property and our countryside? Green County conservation technician Chris Newberry reminds us that trees and forests always need to be replenished. One way of replenishing them is to replant new, younger trees.
Green County Land and Water Conservation Department is offering 10 varieties of trees, and two varieties of shrubs, for landowners interested in planting trees next spring 2016. Tree varieties are Bur Oak, Red Oak, White Oak, Swamp White Oak, Sugar Maple, Sycamore, Black Cherry, Basswood, White Pine, and Harbin Pear. Shrubs available are Hazel Nut and Highbush Cranberry. The trees and shrubs will arrive bare root, one to two feet tall for Basswood, two to three feet tall for all the other varieties. The cost is only $2 a tree, but must be ordered in increments of 10 for a single species. Trees can be ordered by contacting the LWCD directly, by phone or walk-in at the conservation office in Monroe, or
by ordering through the Green County website www.co.green. wi.gov For website orders, click on the departments tab, then Land & Water Conservation. The order form is near the bottom of the webpage. If you are unsure about what trees will work in your particular soil, or if you have any questions about the trees or how to complete an order, stop by the conservation office. You can also give the Green County Land & Water Conservation Department staff a call at 325-4195. They will be taking orders until Thursday, Dec. 31, Newberry said in a conservation office press release. Scheduled delivery of trees to Green County residents is in April 2016.
