They must also sign an affidavit certifying that their steers were born in the United States as part of the Country of Origin Labeling (COOL). Exhibitors must reside in Green County or be a member of a Green County FFA or

4-H Club, to have their steers weighed and identified at this weigh-in. Steers must also be identified and weighed to be eligible to participate in the 2016 Green County Fair Meat Animal Auction, Junior Steer Show and the Beef Performance Class at the Green County Fair. A new steer performance class will be replacing the old steer carcass class in 2016.

premiums for their live placings in the performance class. Grand and reserve champion performance steers will be selected based on their rate of gain, live show placing and scanned carcass data. Exhibitors are reminded that steers must have a rate of gain of two or more pounds per day to be eligible to enter the performance contest or to be sold in the Green County Fair Livestock Auction. The minimum County fair auction weights are 1,300 pounds for dairy steers, 1,100 pounds for all beef market steers. Steers must meet these minimum final weights at fair time to be eligible to sell in the livestock auction and to participate in the steer performance contest. This weigh-in is only for steers that will be exhibited at the Green County Fair. Steers that will be exhibited only at the Wisconsin State Fair will be self- identified by exhibitors and are not required to attend this weigh-in. The Green County Beef Producers will be assisting with the weigh-in. Record books for the Green County Meat Animal Sale and fair rules will be distributed to all exhibitors at the weigh-in.

Powells celebrate 50th wedding anniversary BRODHEAD — John and Michele Powell celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this past week with family. They were married Dec. 11, 1965, in the United Methodist Church of Western Springs, Ill. Early in their marriage, they lived in LaGrange, Ill. He worked for Electramotive, a division of General Motors, and she was for the most part a homemaker there. In 1976, they moved back to a farm on Risum Road in Spring Valley Township of Western Rock County, Wis. With Michele’s parents, H. Mervin Risum and Marjorie Pratt Risum, the family has farming roots back 150 years in Spring Valley. John and Michele farmed here until the mid-1980s, during the peak farm crisis years.

She went to work for Walmart in Janesville, employment that lasted almost 20 years. He began driving a semi-tractor trailer truck, and he continued that work up until about 3 years ago. They continued to live on their family farm, raising two sons. Both sons attended Brodhead High School and went on to study in the University of Wisconsin system. Ty Powell, who works at Kuhn International in Brodhead, still makes his home on a Powell family farm with partner Bandi Baldwin-Bender. Jeffery Powell lives in Janesville with his wife Tara. He works at Fairbanks Morris Co. in Beloit. Michele and John have five grandchildren, Dana and Grant; and Jack, Emma and Sarah. (Courtesy Photo)

Juda math teacher is Presidential Award finalist STEVENS POINT — Six Wisconsin educators were recognized as finalists for the 2015 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, one of the nation’s highest honors for mathematics and science teachers in Stevens Point in November. Local Teacher at Juda High School, Scott Anderson of Brodhead, was one of the honorees along with his wife Ann. “I am honored and humbled by the prestige this award has brought,” Scott stated. “But I am in a great position at Juda, surrounded by people who work hard at education – they are great role models. Juda’s staff, administration and board are dedicated to the students and to making them ready for challenges of our ever-changing world.” When asked about the current educational climate he answered “so much has been talked about, but in the end, as a community, we must take the steps needed

to make sure our next generation is ready for the world. And that starts with a world class education – that takes assessment and commitment from all stakeholders – students, staff and community.” “Presidential Teaching Award finalists bring mathematics and science alive in the classroom, which is so important to our kids,” said State Superintendent Tony Evers. “This program brings needed recognition to the work of our teachers and their dedication to students and the teaching profession.” Nominations for the award can be made by principals, teachers, parents, students, or members of the general public. Nominees must complete an extensive written and video application that demonstrates their mastery of mathematics or science content; use of appropriate instructional methods and strategies; effective use of student assessments to evaluate, monitor, and improve

student learning; reflective practice and life-long learning to improve teaching and student learning; and leadership in education outside the classroom. Applications for Wisconsin’s six finalists will be judged at the national level by a committee organized by the National Science Foundation. The panel may select one teacher of mathematics and one of science to receive Presidential Awards from each state and four U.S. jurisdictions. In addition to recognition and professional development events in Washington, D.C., winners receive $10,000 and a citation signed by the president. The National Science Foundation administers the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Since 1983, more than 4,300 teachers have been recognized Courtesy Photo for their contributions to math- Ann and Scott Anderson at honor luncheon at UW-Stevens ematics and science education. Point.

Parent surveys guide referenda through first step in Juda By Tony Ends Editor

JUDA — School board members last week authorized Superintendent Traci Davis to move forward on a $150,000 operational referendum and a $6.33 million building referendum. Davis will now prepare the ballot questions for voters to consider in April. Juda School District’s board of seven members will then approve the official resolutions at their next meeting. “This was a preliminary vote,” Davis said following the Dec. 9 school board meeting. “The official resolution will be adopted Wednesday, Jan. 13. “We plan to have lots more informational

SENIOR OF THE WEEK The senior of the week is Shad Hanson. After graduation, Shad plans to go to school to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. Shad’s favorite class is Western Civilization; his greatest inspiration is his step-grandmother. One day, Shad would like to travel to Greece. CRAFT FAIR Thank you to all the crafters and vendors who came to the Craft Fair, and thank you to all of those who came to purchase items! BOYS BASKETBALL The Juda Boys Junior Varsity Basketball Team won against both Belmont and Blackhawk. The varsity team lost against Belmont with a score of 69-42 and against Blackhawk with a score of 54-42. The Juda Panthers played against Albany on Dec. 11 and South Beloit on Dec. 14. MUSIC Good job to all the students who performed in the High School and Middle School Christmas Concert! You all

meetings; we want people to bring questions and concerns to us.” A process of engaging the school district’s voters in how to address Juda’s needs is already under way. The two measures moving forward now to a ballot next spring are from the results of a survey sent out to the district. A Community Advisory Committee reviewed the survey answers Dec. 2. “The survey could be completed on line or paper,” Davis said. “We had 99 residents of the district complete and return the survey to us. More than 30 open enrollment families also returned

surveys. “We have 309 full time students this year, 314 total if we include part time. We had 306 last year, so our enrollment is looking stable. But about 90 of our students are from open enrollment, coming in from other school districts. Resident students are the only ones that count in the state’s formula for helping fund the schools.” School districts across Wisconsin depend on that formula and allocation for two-thirds to three-quarters of the money needed to operate. Most are forced to put building and operating needs to address flat or declining student populations,

rising costs and repairs to a vote. Juda voters have not faced a school district referendum since 2000, when they passed the current $4.7 million measure. It provided a gym, choir room, computer lab, wiring, roof repair, and will be paid off in 2 years. There would also be upgrades to a community park behind the school, where students practice for some sports. Measures to go to a vote in 2016, seek $150,000 in operating funds, recurring each year and funds for remodeling, upkeep and upgrading, existing school buildings. “There is some asbestos removal required in a 1960s era

elementary school, some roofing, parking maintenance. Updates to a bus garage and several gyms, office spaces, security, technology updating and curriculum,” Davis said. Staff and the school board have tried to minimize the effects on property taxes, but keep they school system, programs and services growing strong. The operating revenue referendum is expected to add $1.44 to the mill rate the first year, $1. 08 to the mill rate in the second year and thereafter. The building referendum cost is spread out over 20 years and will have no

Autopsy results pending in woman’s death By Tony Ends Editor

TOWN OF MAGNOLIA — No evidence of foul play was found in connection to a woman’s body discovered in a car last Wednesday morning off a country road in Magnolia Township. One of the owners of a 1200-acre game preserve discovered the death, and reported it to emergency and law enforcement agencies. Rock deputies and the county Medical Examiner responded to the call. “When the fog lifted that

morning, the owner of the hunting land saw the vehicle and went to investigate,” said Capt. Todd Christiansen, of Rock County Sheriff’s detective bureau, in a phone interview Friday. “It was an elderly woman from Janesville in a vehicle registered to her and her husband,” Christiansen said. “There was no evidence of sexual assault or foul play. We do not want anyone in the area to worry about that. “Rock County has a contract with the Dane County Medical Examiner to per-

form autopsies. The body was transported to Madison, and an autopsy was conducted Thursday. It will take several weeks to receive back results of a toxicology report,” Christiansen said. Authorities did not know late last week how the woman found her way onto the property in rural Magnolia Township. Toxicology tests should determine whether the woman’s death was accidental or possibly a suicide. No further information was available.

Blackhawk Tech expands culinary arts JANESVILLE — Blackhawk Technical College is opening its 2-year culinary arts program to spring enrollment immediately for new students. Students who once had to wait until fall semester to begin their culinary studies may now take courses in the spring and summer semesters to get on the same graduation track that fall enrollees are on. “Our fall semester is loaded to the point where we are full, and would-be students were frustrated because they couldn’t get in the program and had to wait a full year before they could get started,’’ said Chef Joe Wollinger, a culinary instructor. “It was hard to talk to a student who was trying to get into a class and say, ‘Sorry, there’s not enough room.

You’ll have to wait a year.’ Saying we have something in January makes it a lot more current.’’ Barrett Bell, BTC’s director of enrollment services, said the change is “a good opportunity for more students to go through the program. The program has been filled by mid-summer over the past 3 years.’’ Bell said there are 17 students who were placed on the waiting list last fall for culinary arts, a program that accommodates about 80 students. Spring enrollment will help reduce the waiting list and accommodate more students, he said. BTC’s culinary arts program combines elements of artistry, science and business skills to prepare students for a career in food service. Students study principles

of food preparation, quantity production and equipment layout. They also learn operation management skills. Students engage in preparing and serving experiences in the food service lab. They receive additional opportunities in catering, ice sculpting and food presentation. The culinary arts program at Blackhawk has been honored by the Wisconsin Board of Vocational Technical and Adult Education with the Exemplary Educational Service Award. The Blackhawk Technical College Culinary Arts Program is accredited by the American Culinary Federation. Students interested in learning more about the new spring offerings can contact Katie Lang at 608-743-4463 or email her at klang5@blackhawk.edu.

Hometown Drug Scripts

WEAR REFLECTIVE GEAR AT NIGHT

Too often motorists are unable to see pedestrians or cyclists in the dark with enough time to stop. Wearing reflective devices or gear can help save lives. Wearing reflective material or tape on ankles, arms, wrists and other moving parts to highlight the body’s motion is especially effective. Pedestrians or cyclists should never assume drivers can see them. They should walk or ride defensively, as close to the side of the road as they safely can. Bikes should also be equipped with lights and reflective devices. Parents should choose children’s backpacks, shoes and jackets with reflective areas on them to make kids more visible in the dark.

“I missed the restaurant when I wasn’t here. You know, when I’m at home, I can’t cook, but when I’m in the restaurant, just something comes over me, and I can do it,” she said. “Could it be the spirit of your daughter?” I asked. “I think it is,” Sheflin said, nodding her head in agreement. “Being here makes me happy. When guests chose us for their dinner, and especially when they chose us to be a part of an important event in their life I feel honored. “I have these restaurants and work these crazy hours because it gives me the meaning I need in life,” she said. “If I had my daughter, this wouldn’t be my life. To help my staff grow, learn and experience new things, and to build relationships and make people happy gives me those experiences I would have had with her. ” Sheflin took on added restaurant responsibilities at the Monticello House in February.

Writers, illustrators start young in Albany ALBANY — Community Middle School teachers say their students in the fifth and sixth grades have had a busy month of December in reading and language arts. On returning from Thanksgiving break, the students began a writing/ reading Christmas project. Each student has been his or her own author and illustrator for this project. Students have been working hard in their “BARE BOOKS” to have a final product completed in time for the holiday break. Fifth-grade students have been writing “Family Christmas Stories.” These stories are all about their families and Christmas topics such as: Christmas traditions, Christmas memories, Christmas food and beverages, Christmas gifts received and given, and Christmas decorating of their tree and house during the holidays. The fifth-graders will have their stories finished and ready to share with

their families on Christmas Day. The sixth-grade students have also been working out of BARE BOOKS, but they have been busy being authors and illustrators of a Children’s Christmas Book. Students chose from a list of ten story starters and had to write a story based off the story starter that they chose. When they’ve completed this work, the sixth-grade students will be taking their Children’s Christmas Book down to the elementary grades to read their story to the younger students in the elementary school. Fifth- and sixth-grade students have really enjoyed the opportunity to showcase their creative minds and artistic imaginations within this reading and writing project. On behalf of the Albany Community Middle School fifth and sixth grades, their teachers Mr. Doescher and Mr. Oellerich would like Courtesy Photo to wish everyone a very Albany middle school students showcase their creative minds and artistic imaginations with readhappy holiday season! ing, writing project.

Holiday Gift Guide URBANA, Ill. — A holiday cactus in full bloom is a great holiday gift. Easy to care for, holiday cacti generally are long lived and will easily bloom year after year. In fact, they are often passed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms. When selecting a new plant, look for sturdy, healthy green foliage and new flower buds. Avoid diseased or insect-damaged plants, said Jennifer Fishburn, a horticulture educator with University of Illinois Extension. Exposure at freezing temperatures even for a short time can damage leaves and cause flower drop, so before taking them outdoors, carefully wrap plants. As with all houseplants, avoid placing plants near register vents or in drafty areas. “Holiday cacti include the Thanksgiving cactus, Christmas cactus, and Easter cactus,” Fishburn said. “The holiday cacti are easily identified by the stem margins. These cacti don’t have true leaves; instead they have flattened stem segments.” The most widely grown species is the Thanksgiving cactus, also called a crab cactus, Schlumbergera truncata. The stem margins have two to four sawtoothed projections resembling crab claws. Flowers are produced from late November to late December. Thanksgiving cacti are often forced into bloom and sold at Christmas time, and are often misnamed Christmas cacti. Flower colors include white, red, lavender, salmon, orange, and yellow. Christmas cactus, Schlumbergera x buckleyi, has scalloped or rounded stem margins. Flowers are generally showy from late December through March. The flowers are formed at the tip of the segments. Easter cactus, Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri, has four to six rounded teeth along the stem edges and brownish hairs at the leaf tips. Shades of pink or red flowers appear during March through May. Easter cactus may rebloom. Thanksgiving and Christmas cacti blooms are triggered by day length. They bloom when they receive 12 to 15 hours of darkness each day for five to six weeks combined with cool night temperatures. Some cacti will bloom if exposed to prolonged cool temperatures between 50 to 55 degrees during the fall regardless of day length. “To initiate flower buds, place Thanksgiving and Christmas cacti in a room that doesn’t receive artificial light at night such as a spare bedroom or basement,” Fishburn said. “Cacti can also be placed in an unheated porch until temperatures reach 45 degrees. Plants should receive bright light during the day with 55 to 65 degree

temperatures. When plants are in flower, keep them in a bright, indirect light. Ideal temperatures are 70 degrees during the day and 65 degrees in the evening. “Don’t let the soil dry out during flowering. Flower buds will drop if they receive too much light, are exposed to drafts or temperature extremes, or if the soil gets too dry,” Fishburn pointed out. “If plants fail to flower, this could be due to interrupted nights or high temperatures.” During the growing season when the plant is not flowering, water plants thoroughly but let

them dry slightly between waterings. A major disease of holiday cacti is root rot caused by overwatering. Water when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. When the plant is actively growing, between April and October, fertilize every two to four weeks with a complete houseplant fertilizer, following the directions on the label. Holiday cacti require a bright but filtered light indoors. Keep in mind that holiday cacti thrive on neglect. “This winter, brighten up the indoors with a flowering holiday cactus,” Fishburn said.

(Family Features) With the holiday hosting season knocking at the door, break from the mold of the traditional gathering with a more modern way to entertain. Throwing a cocktail party, complete with variations of classic holiday recipes, and taking advantage of the relaxed, comeand-go atmosphere is an easy way to make countless holiday memories without spending days in the kitchen to prepare. Jessica Sturdy, lifestyle expert and the blogger behind Bows & Sequins, shares these tips for making your seasonal soiree one to remember: Signature Sips — Creating a custom cocktail is an easy way to add something festive and personalized to toast your guests, which can include traditional holiday flavors like cranberry, peppermint, cinnamon, fig or champagne. Prepare a few pitchers beforehand so guests can pour themselves, leaving you time to enjoy your company. If time permits, type up a drink recipe card and place the print out in a fun frame to include at the bar. Please All Palates — Keep all appetites happy with a charcuterie board by gathering an assortment of your favorite cheeses – perhaps cheeses from around the world or locally. Mix with an array of meats, crackers and mustards which pair nicely with something more acidic, like dried fruit, pickles or olives. Smoked over real hardwoods, Johnsonville summer sausages are a delicious choice to help anchor the platter. Display on a tray with character – even an old

mirror – to make even the most basic meat and cheese display festive and amp up your serving platter with natural materials, such as herbs or festive holly. Capture the Moment — Invest in an old-school instant film camera to create your own throwback photo booth. The quickly developed photos will make for great parting gifts. You can make cute signs that include holiday slogans with a little cardboard paper, glitter and sticks that your guests can use as easy DIY props, and a simple holiday wall banner or sparkly wall tinsel will create the perfect backdrop. \ You can also purchase disposable cameras to leave around the party to capture all of the fun moments you may have missed playing host. It’s a fun surprise to develop them after the party. Leave the Cold at the Door — Make your guests feel at home by lighting a fire and positioning some holiday scented candles throughout your space.

Just be sure to keep the candles away from the food so as to not sour the taste or smell of your hors d’oeuvres. Create a playlist that sets the mood you want your party to embody; from festive Christmas carols to classic jazz to this year’s top 50 countdown, your music will set the pace and make your guests feel welcome. Expect the Unexpected — The key to a happy host is a stress-free host. Be sure to leave yourself with plenty of prep time, have your house cleaned and the bar cart stocked with plenty of clean glasses the day before your event. Purchase backup food items that can easily be passed around during the party without the extra prep time, such as nuts, popcorn, pretzels and peppermint bark, and don’t forget that you can never have too much ice.

Tips for picking and presenting perfect holiday gifts

for your preferred present. The site will send you an alert when the item’s price drops. Some research also helps you discover which stores have the best selection (and return policy). Be sure to get a gift receipt, especially if purchasing clothing. Knowing exactly where you need to go -- the sporting goods store, the shoe section, the beauty aisle -- simplifies the entire process. Personalize packaging Make the wrapping as extraordinary as the gift with fun, creative packaging. Colorful wrapping paper in your recipient’s favorite color or pattern is always a good choice. Next, embellish with ribbons, bows or glittery tapes. Finally, don’t forget a card

to express how you feel. Remember, commercial packaging lacks the personal charm and care of a gift wrapped and shipped by you. Luckily, brands like Duck brand offer all the materials you need to easily and safely - ship your wonderfully wrapped gifts. Start by selecting the right shipping materials for the size of your item. You may want to consider a cushioned envelope, such as those from the Bubble Wrap brand, when possible, as they’re more cost-effective for shipping smaller items, plus provide extra protection for your shipped goods. For larger gifts, wrap them in several layers of Bubble Wrap cushioning for safety, then ship in a clean, sturdy box.

Seal the box with strong packaging tape, like EZ Start packaging tape. It won’t split or tear; plus the tape’s Frustration Free special release technology means you never lose the tape end, making the entire process easier. For an even more festive look, consider using a colored

or printed packaging tape, wrapping items in colored Bubble Wrap, like purple or red, or adding stickers to the outside of the box -- just be sure there’s room for the shipping label. With planning and creativity, you can purchase and present the perfect gifts for loved ones this year.

(StatePoint) With a few simple tips, your holiday gifts can be personal, meaningful and beautifully wrapped. Pick a present Spend time brainstorming. Make a list of the recipient’s hobbies, activities you’ve done together, favorite places -- anything that might inspire a gift. Take a look at the recipient’s social media pages to see which brands he or she likes or follows, or pinned on Pinterest. Does your brother follow tech blogs? Purchase the latest tech trend, like a smart watch. Does your best friend pin anything with a monogram? Find great gifts on sites like Etsy or Personal Creations, which offer items that can be engraved or monogrammed for a completely one-of-a-kind present. Head to the store or look online with a specific idea in mind, so you’re not overwhelmed. Shop smart Do a quick search online for available deals, and to compare prices from different retailers. Deal-sharing sites like Slickdeals provide information on offers across a wide range of product categories, while sites like PriceZombie allow you to track costs

Panel backs sub-soil mapping to protect water, guide projects By Tony Ends Editor

MONROE — A proposal that Green County undertake a hydro geological study passed its first procedural hurdle last Thursday. The recommendation passed a county Land and Water Conservation Committee vote after discussions and presentations

over several months. Green County’s website lists five supervisors on its Land and Water Conservation Committee, with, additionally, Oscar Olson, District 10, of Browntown, as committee chair. Only committee member Gordon Klossner, who represents Albany village and rural residents in District 24 of Green County, spoke and

voted against recommending the hydro-geological study. Klossner said he did not believe the mapping would do what its proponents want it to do. Sauk, Dane, Iowa and other counties and even some townships in Wisconsin have paid state hydrologists to map their soil geology. Groundwater recharge from

Rock County immunization clinic is Dec. 22 Rock County Health Department is conducting an Immunization Clinic in Janesville at the Rock County Health Department, 3328 Hwy. 51 N, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 22. Parents need to be present to sign forms before vaccines can be given. Bring a record of when your child has received other vaccines. The following vaccines will be available at this clinic: DTaP, Polio, Tetanus (& Pertussis), MMR, Infant Hib, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, Meningitis, HPV, Varicella, Rotavirus, and Pneumococcal.

Cost of each listed vaccine for a person, birth through 18 years of age, is $5. For a person 19 years of age and older, vaccine costs vary. Children are eligible for immunizations if they are uninsured, have insurance that does not cover immunizations, have Wisconsin MA or are American Indian/Alaskan Native. Adults may be eligible for some immunization services. Call ahead to 757-5440 or 3642010 to determine eligibility. Vaccines may also be obtained at both Rock County Health Department Offices: Janesville, 3328 State Highway 51 North;

Beloit, 61 Eclipse Center. Clinic hours Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. are by appointment only. At the Janesville office Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., no appointments are necessary. At the Beloit office Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. , no appointments are necessary. The Rock County Health Department also offers free immunization consultations to parents who’d like to know what immunizations their child may need. Call 757-5440 or 364-2010 for more information or visit www.co.rock.wi.us

which wells draw household and farm drinking water, is water plants don’t take up, water from snow melt and rain that infiltrates downward to groundwater. Geological mapping shows where the water is most susceptible to pollution from construction and human activity, whether in a subdivision of houses with septic systems, or a livestock operation with volumes of liquid manure to spread above the ground. Hydro geological maps can indicate where deeper metal casings are needed to protect a well, where septic systems will be dangerous to well water, where to build or not to build various types of structures. Committee recommendation last Thursday that Green County undertake hydro geological mapping and study now passes to the county’s finance committee, which lists four supervisors and supervisor Harvey Mandel, District 12, of Juda, as chairman.

Victoria Solomon, who serves UW Green County Extension Service as community resource educator, advised the land and water committee that she would help connect US Geological and Natural History Survey and UW Extension staff to the finance committee. Wisconsin survey hydrologist Madeline Gotkowitz presented information about studies she’s helped conduct around the state to the Green Land and Water Conservation committee early last month. Green County residents present at last week’s meeting asked the Land and Water Conservation committee to also consider a moratorium on CAFO permitting until hydro geological mapping and study can be completed. Land and Water Conservation staff said the request would have to be publicly noticed and placed on the agenda for the committee’s Thursday, Jan. 7, meeting.

Board returns highway commissioner to third term By Tony Ends Editor

MONROE — Green County Board of Supervisors re-elected Jeff Wunschel Highway Commissioner in their regular monthly meeting Dec. 8. It is Wunschel’s third 2-year term as roads commissioner, in a department he has served JEFF since 1982. WUNSCHEL When at full staffing, the county high department has 44 employees. They remove snow on 278 miles of county roads and 120 miles of state roads in Green County. They also tend to paving, seal coating, crack sealing, drainage ditching, and bridge and culvert replacement. The county road crews Wunschel supervises also perform services for the roads in Green’s 16 townships. In other action last week, the

board of supervisors: Approved sale or transfer of some 75 tax certificates for unpaid taxes dating to 2012. The action authorizes Green County Clerk Michael J. Doyle to inform the property owners by letter that he is to proceed with tax deed processing, delinquent tax collection efforts and issuance of tax deeds. Approved liability, worker’s compensation and property insurance contracts. Approved a 1 percent wage increase for approximately 390 county workers outside of law enforcement (which is represented by the WPPA). Disallowed the claim of the estate of Larry Meinert requesting approximately $10,000 from the county. Approved purchase and installment of a commercial dishwashing machine and roofing and repairs for Pleasant View Nursing Home, for a maximum total cost of $330,000. Approved a broad range of Human Services for a dozen

contractors, services and agencies, variously for therapy, psychological testing and evaluation, case management, group residential care, meals, disability programs, in-home care, totaling $1.855 million in costs, of which the state provides $1.2 million and the county absorbs about 28 percent of the contracts’ costs. Modified a nonresident solicitors ordinance, transferring permitting from the county clerk’s office to the sheriff’s department

agreed to reduce compensatory time from as much as 80 hours to 60 hours; new grievance procedures were outlined and the cost of purchasing protective vests (previously the responsibility of new officers) was agreed now to be carried by the county. The negotiations sought a 1 percent across-the-board cost of living adjustment, already budgeted, with some allowances and stipends, for instance for taking on shift supervision responsibilities.

Green County pays tribute to five heroes By Tony Ends Editor

MADISON — For acts of bravery and life saving, five Green County Sheriff’s staff received commendations before the Board of Supervisors last week. Green County Sheriff Mark A. Rohloff presented the awards, reading summaries of services each performed before the full board and a crowd of the staff’s peers, family and friends. Rohloff first cited Deputy Scott Ellefson for applying a tourniquet to a 51-yearold man’s torn leg artery in a medical emergency. The quick thinking and courageous action stopped the patient’s loss of blood while a helicopter was en route. New Glarus Emergency Medical Services subsequently credited Deputy Ellefson’s response in Exeter Township in late June 2014 with saving the man’s life. For another extraordinary medical emergency response this past July, Rohloff commended Deputy Aaron King.
