eat healthy? Incorporate nutrient rich foods in a child’s diet. Learn more at Choose My Plate: http://www.choosemyplate. gov/. Have your child help cook healthy meals with you. Try “taste testing” food activities with your child. Give small, sample-size bites, like what you get at a grocery store, to try. Keep introducing the food at different times, even if your child doesn’t like it the first time. It can take multiple attempts. “Hide” vegetables in food. For example, if you cook mashed potatoes, add cauliflower. If you make spaghetti sauce, add grated carrots, peppers or mushrooms. Find healthy alternatives at restaurants or cook at home more often. Switch out less healthy versions of foods or beverages with healthier options. Plant a garden in the spring and watch it grow, then harvest and eat the produce. How do I get my child to be active?

aware of the nutritional value of food. Stay active! Every day children should be moving and playing. Play with your child too. Reduce electronics time. Set time limits on usage. Sedentary lifestyles are not helping. Don’t buy junk food. Stay away from unhealthy items in stores. Provide healthy opportunities. Get your child involved in sports, activities and hobbies. Educate your child on the importance of healthy eating and exercise. Engage in conversations at school on nutrition and activity programs. Connect with the community on healthy community opportunities, programs and events. Be mindful of what your family is doing each day to develop a healthier lifestyle.

About one in every three American children and adolescents are overweight or obese. Over the last three decades the prevalence of obesity in children has more than tripled. According to the “Let’s Move” initiative, in African American and Hispanic communities, nearly 40 percent of the children are overweight or obese. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that, “the medical care costs of obesity in the United States are high. In 2008 dollars, these costs were estimated to be $147 billion.” “Overweight and obese children are likely to stay obese into adulthood and more likely to develop noncommunicable diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases at a younger age,” the World Health Organization reports. “Overweight and obesity, as well as their related diseases, are largely prevent-

able. Prevention of childhood obesity therefore needs high priority.” Obesity is shortening lifespan, and American children may face a shorter expected lifespan than their parents. This needs to be a top concern for parents, but many parents do not know what do to. What can I do for my child? Talk to a medical care provider or registered dietician to make sure your child’s diet is balanced and body mass index and weight are in the appropriate range. Set a good example. Kids like to copy, so it is important for you to eat a proper diet and be active. Send the right messages to your child on healthy living. Develop healthy eating habits every day. Step-bystep introduce healthy food options. Increase consumption of a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Avoid unhealthy snacks. Limit intake of sugary foods and drinks.

MANAGE JET LAG

Before a long flight, set your watch to where you’re headed; it will help you start adjusting sooner. Going west, move your bedtime back and get up later in the day. Stay awake in daylight as long as you can when you arrive. Going east, try to sleep on the plane (if it is night where you’re going). When you land, stay awake through the day. Either direction, try to stay up during daytime. Get out in the sunshine; natural light helps reset your body clock. It is easier to keep awake than to force yourself to sleep. If you have a very important event, arrive at least a day early to be at your best. Bottom line, adjust to where you’re going before you leave and adapt when you arrive.

After graduation, Crista would like to attend UW-Madison to major in mathematics to become a college math professor. Crista’s favorite class is physics because even though it’s a science class, it is a still math based. Crista’s greatest inspirations are the teachers here at Juda because that they don’t want anyone to fail; they take extra time to help all students succeed. Crista would like to travel to Europe because most of her favorite authors and actors are British. She also wants to travel to see the London Eye, Big Ben, and many

MATH In calculus, students have started to learn about high order derivatives now that they have “all the tools in their toolboxes to build a house,” as Mr. Anderson says. They have learned all the components that they now must put together to solve high order derivatives.

Albany School District shares Comets CARE approach

ALBANY — School district staff and teachers believe Albany is a place where students learn much more than academics. It is where children learn how to cooperate with others; it is where they learn social responsibility and individual

accountability. These lessons are life-long and must be designed. Albany Schools have a long-standing tradition of making community building a priority. Programs have developed and evolved through the years

and will continue to grow and change as the needs of our learning community change. Throughout our school, we focus on citizenship, achievement, respect, and excellence (CARE), and we implement this program in a variety of ways:

Snack with Santa at Albany Lions Club Dec. 12 ALBANY — Want to give Santa your wish list? Want to enjoy games, prizes, and face painting? Want to dine with your family and get some holiday shopping done, all for minimal cost while benefiting Albany’s public library? Stop by Albertson Memorial Library’s Snack with Santa fundraiser on Saturday, Dec. 12. It will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Albany Lions Club, 402 N. Cincinnati St. This is a fun family event suitable for all ages. Santa arrives promptly at 10 a.m., but he stays for the entire event. Children can enjoy Santa visits and treat bags for free.

Friends of the Library members offer additional fun things to do at a minimal cost: a food stand, children’s shopping area (Santa’s Shop), children’s games with prizes, raffle table, and face painting. There are many ways to contribute to the library as part of this event. Library friends and staff need volunteers to run stations, as well as donations of baked goods, raffle prizes, and Santa’s Shop items. Volunteer slots for stations are open between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. in 2-hour increments. Anyone available to help can contact Valerie Johnson at 608-778-0311 to volunteer or donate. Prospective participants in

the Snack with Santa event can also download a volunteer form from Albertson Memorial Library’s webpage (www.albertsonlibrary.org), or stop in the library at 200 N. Water St. to complete a form in-person. Albany Lions Club, Albany Village Board, and Friends of Albertson Memorial Library co-sponsor and run this event. All proceeds help support library services at Albertson Memorial Library. Questions? Contact the volunteer coordinator mentioned, or call the library at 608-8623491. Friends and co-sponsors thank the community for their support and look forward to seeing a strong turn-out at Snack with Santa this year.

We have behavior expectations that match each area, depending on the physical location in the school proper (classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, library, and even bathrooms). For students to successfully meet expectations, staff members know they must not only set the expectations. They must teach the behavior and help students practice it. At the elementary level, students participate in a morning meeting to start the day. Topics such as kindness, citizenship, and respect are covered, while the skills of listening, questioning, and conflict resolution are practiced. Students also learn about character traits, and staff members acknowledge them for their demonstration of these traits. At the middle school level, students belong to an advisory group that meets every morning. Weekly activities include group discussions, goal setting, and competitions. This year, a new mentoring program was started. A 5th or 6th grade student is paired

with a 7th or 8th grade student in this program. Pairs meet to support each other through the academic and social challenges of middle school. At the high school level, advisory groups are also meeting daily. High school activities include goal setting, academics, and group discussions. High school students also have multiple opportunities to build community through extra-curricular activities, and the majority of high school students participate in at least one extra-curricular activity. Building a positive, safe learning community is vital for our students to achieve to the best of their abilities. It is also a continually evolving process that must be responsive to the needs of our students. Staff members meet weekly at each level to discuss the needs of students. They plan activities and interventions to ensure that all students are progressing toward being positive, contributing members of our school community.

Continued from page 1 it.” The subsequent, historic stock market and economic crash have, of course, cooled much of the talk about shifting Social Security onto the open stock market and out of the protection of the federal government, said Breu. Yet Breu came with his wife to believe that anyone who espoused such an idea should not be serving in Congress. “I remember walking to my car afterward, aghast: How could this person have been elected with a viewpoint so narrow, so privileged, and so out-of-touch with the reality faced by so many?” Breu now tells and writes about his political awakening. “That was the spark. It has since become crystal clear that Paul Ryan is absolutely wrong for today’s America. At an even higher level, this is about Democracy itself. It’s about Democracy being swamped by Capitalism, Capitalism being corrupted by Wall Street, and Wall Street money the measure of all things.” To reach McCabe or find out about hosting or attending a Shoestring Politics workshop, call 608 443-6086 or email one4all@bluejeannation.com ; or see www.bluejeanna-

Nation in April of this year. He told press last spring that he aims with Blue Jean Nation to restructure existing political parties’ priorities – not simply start a third party. McCabe believes both the Democratic and Republican parties are putting moneyed interests ahead of the majority of people they represent. His Blue Jean Nations shies away from “liberal” and “conservative” labels, instead focusing on the wants and needs of common people – the people wearing blue jeans, not three-piece suits. Breu said he was among the most uninformed of voters until by chance he took his son to hear Paul Ryan debate author and economist Dean Baker at a high school in Janesville in 2005. “We had a son working on an Eagle Scoutv citizenship merit badge,” said the father of seven, whose wife is very supportive of his run against Ryan. “I listened to Ryan talking about privatizing Social Security, and none of it made sense. I came away thinking, “How did this guy become our congressman?” I couldn’t believe

National Honor Society inducts 12 Parkview students ORFORDVILLE — Twelve new members were inducted into the National Honor Society at Parkview High School on Friday, Nov. 20. The new members are: Haley Balch, Miranda Connell, Loey Dodge, Abby Harnack, Jacquelyn Hudson, Lauren Lunde, Kyleigh Menke, Serena Slove, Rebecca Smith, Josh Soderstrom, Alex Thole and Colleen Toberman.

It challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.”

Merchants Bank, was the guest speaker. O’Leary spoke about the four pillars of the National Honor Society: scholarship, service, leadership and character. “The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students,” according to information furnished from its website. “More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those

How pantry, event benefit those food insecure In Green County it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of our population is food insecure. That means almost 3,800 people across our communities do not have access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. Several resources in the county have been developed to address food insecurity. We want to bring your attention to one resource serving the entire county. More importantly, this resource serves a large group of people from our communities of Brodhead and Albany. Green Cares Food Pantry, located in Monticello, was established in 2009 to provide families and individuals with incomes under 185 percent of the poverty line with nutritious food. Green Cares Food Pantry

serves all eligible Green County individuals and families with approximately one week’s worth of food. Food provided includes canned vegetables and fruits, in-season fresh vegetables and fruits, bread, and frozen meat. A family can visit the pantry once each month. Currently Green Cares serves between 700 and 750 individuals each month. Approximately 20 percent of these individuals come from Brodhead and another 10 percent come from Albany. Green Cares has no paid staff; volunteers handle all tasks at the pantry. The pantry’s largest cost is food, most of it purchased from Second Harvest Food Bank in Madison. Occasionally, food is purchased through local vendors.

Green Cares also receives food donations from a number of Green County businesses that support the pantry’s mission. On Sunday, Dec. 6, Green Cares Food Pantry will hold its Annual Holiday Fundraiser at Barnaby’s Monticello House from 3:30 to 6 p.m. The holiday fundraiser is a dressy affair, with sparkling wine, passed hors d’oeuvres, desserts and holiday music. The cost is $30 per person. Prepayments or cash donations can be sent to Green Cares Holiday Fundraiser, P.O. Box 2, Monticello, WI 53570. Participants are also welcome to pay at the door. Please consider joining us to help those in our community who need these services. Sincerely, Jared Arn and Lon Ledermann

human form, or He isn’t. We don’t make these things true or false by the power of our minds. The Bible cannot be true for you and false for me any more than the laws of mathematics can be true for you but optional for me. If I refuse to believe the law of gravity because it doesn’t fit “my truth,” I will not be spared from injury if I jump from a tall building. The Bible says that Jesus is the only way to know God and the only way to heaven. Believing Jesus is the only way is not narrow or intolerant if it is, in fact, true. If I go down a one way street the wrong way, and a policeman tickets me, I cannot use the defense that the traffic laws are “intolerant.” Jesus claimed to be the Truth (John 14:6)—that there is no other way to God than through him. His claim is either true or false. If he truly is that one way street to heaven, Christians are not being intolerant for believing what they perceive to be true. In fact, not sharing this belief would be hypocrisy. Sharing it would be an act of love, not intolerance. Telling someone what we believe to be true is a loving thing to do. During these uncertain times, it is essential for us to have a foundation of truth to build our lives on. I believe that absolute truth about life can be found in the pages of the Bible. You have the right to disagree, but if you do, I challenge you first to read the Bible before saying it doesn’t fit “your truth.”

“That may be true for you, but it’s not true for me.” Have you ever heard that one? You might hear it after offering advice to someone. Our society wants us to believe that everyone can have his or her own definition of truth. But is it really possible for something to be true for one person and false for another? We may interpret truth differently, and we may act upon it differently, but truth by definition is true regardless of what we believe or how we feel about it. Two plus two cannot be four for you and seven for me simply because “my truth” thinks seven is better. If I apply those beliefs about math to my checking account, the bank will cancel my account, even if I’m sincere in my belief. Sincerity of belief does not create or destroy truth. If I drink a bottle of poison, sincerely believing it is apple juice, my belief won’t save me. We live in an age of relativism. We are told we can create truth just by believing it, but we have no right to challenge other people’s beliefs since they have their own truth. Our culture says, “There is no absolute truth.” But that statement itself is absolute! Our culture says, “There is no right or wrong.” But is that statement right or wrong? It cannot possibly be right if there is no right or wrong. It cannot be absolutely true if there is no absolute truth. Our society is confused. Yet science itself teaches that we cannot create truth by believing something is true. We cannot make truth, only discover truth. On the way to that discovery, we make choices about what to believe, but we cannot create truth just by believing something. Our culture tells us it’s fine to believe in God if we want to, but not to bother anyone with “our truth.” This thinking ignores basic logic. Either there is a God, or there isn’t. The Bible is either true, or it isn’t. Either Jesus Christ is God in

Tips to give unique, meaningful gifts this holiday season

(StatePoint) Making your list and checking it twice? Coming up with unique items for all your family and friends in a short period of time is not always a simple feat. Luckily, there are many easy ways to make everyone on your list feel special. Customized books While literature always makes a great gift, a personalized book will make reading time extra appealing, and a cherished present that will never be forgotten. Personalized book companies let you make your gift recipient the hero of a unique story, complete with the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and photo. Personalized candles Turn the gift of a treasured candle into something even more personalized by incorporating photos and messages on the candle label. Make a statement by picking a fragrance with your recipient in mind, tied to special memories you share. To create made-to-order combinations for your friends and family, consider Yankee Candle, which offers several customization options that allow you to personalize everything from the label design to embellishments in the wrapping. Their lineup of fragrances includes Buttercream, Lilac Blossoms, and Sparkling Cinnamon, conjuring fond memories of everything from a walk

through flowery fields to a favorite holiday dessert. Personalized candles, which are easy to design, also make thoughtful hostess gifts for all your holiday festivities this season.

DIY gift basket A standard-issue gift basket will be appreciated, but to show you truly care, consider customizing each gift for every recipient. You can make unique creations by taking favorites

into consideration. Is your gift recipient a dog lover? Does she have a sweet tooth? After stocking baskets with goodies customized to their tastes, adorn each one with unique garlands, ribbons and

bows. This holiday season is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of all the easy, customizable options available to make each gift thoughtful and unforgettable.

(Family Features) As the saying goes, it’s the thought that counts when it comes to gift-giving. But the thought means even more when you delight the recipients on your shopping list with gifts that are as stylish as they are functional. The kitchen is a focal point of most homes, so gifts that make the most of this oft-used space are sure to please. Ideas can range from the more practical, such as dishes or knives, to serving pieces that make entertaining extra special. For the person who has it all, look for gifts that make life easier. For example, a tote bag with the versatility to safely transport items for a day at the park, gym or office is a handy choice that will have your recipient offering thanks for months to come. Remember that gifts reflecting the recipient’s personal taste are always winners. Look for detailed designs, colors and styles that reflect their interests to show the thought you put into choosing the perfect gift.

Group helps families surmount homelessness By Tony Ends Editor

BRODHEAD — It’s good that a nation of three-, four- and more car garages still finds time at least once a year for a Thanksgiving feast in the house. Despite all the economic ups and downs, Thanksgiving is a welcome time off the road to savor the basics – healthful food, shelter, warm clothing – at home. I’m as guilty as anyone in America of spending so much time in the car that I forget the most essential of possessions under the family roof. For Brodhead and other cities in Green County, the annual holiday of family feasting this past week marked just such a moment for collective reflection about the importance of shelter. Supporters of the county’s 5-year-old homelessness remediation program quietly celebrated “Family Promise of Green County Awareness Week.” “I’m thinking about decorating our house, baking for neighbors and spending time with family and friends,” wrote Family Promise Board President Angie Parr, in a holiday letter to supporters and friends Thanksgiving week. “I have also been thinking about the 39 families and the 45 children that have been served by Family Promise this past year alone,” Parr stated. “Their feelings about this time of year may

be different than mine. “I’m sure they’re thankful to have an organization like Family Promise to get them through this tough period in life, but I also know this time of year is stressful for them. How do they buy their children Christmas gifts, will they have a Thanksgiving meal, where will they have Christmas, will they be able to bake cookies with their children?” Families in Albany and Brodhead were among those who got emergency assistance thanks to Family Promise this past year. According to its website, the non-profit organizes and directs work of 13 congregations in Green County. They each host three to five families (up to 14 individuals) about four times a year – for one week at a time. Overnight lodging is provided from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. the next morning. The host congregations provide that overnight lodging, breakfast, brown-bag lunch, dinner, and hospitality, too. Between sheltering nights, a Family Promise day center acts as a home base for guest families to meet basic living needs. It also gives them a spring board from which to work their way out of homelessness and toward stability. People in Green County who answered with Family Promise the needs of more than 70 people struggling against homelessness

Monroe’s First Community Credit Union celebrated International Credit Union Day recently by taking up a collection for Family Promise of Green County. Between members, staff, and a matching donation from the credit union, the group presented Network Director Rick Gleason with a check for $465.54. Pictured here, left to right, are credit union employees Kari Hicks, Stephanie Dee, Suzanne Meier (Branch Manager), Rick Gleason (Family Promise), Cathy Wehinger, and Courtney Wilcox. Family Promise has been operating in Green County since November of 2011 to provide temporary housing for homeless families.

this past year also had a hand in other great accomplishments. Parr’s letter ticked off six Family Promise successes in 2015: Ten families graduated from Family Promise and achieved “sustainable independence.” Homeless Prevention Service helped 16 families, relocating them with minimal disruption to their lives. The organization began its first social work intern program with UW Whitewater. Family Promise implemented new training programs to include budgeting, stress man-

agement, resume writing, nutrition and parenting. The group linked people it served to work experience opportunities of Forward Services/W2. Mentors started helping some of Family Promise of Green County’s shelter guests with independent living skills. In the year ahead, Family Promise hopes to find a way to meet another need – transportation. Family Promise needs a van to get families to the day center and necessary appointments, chil-

dren to school, adults to interviews and job training. Serving with Parr on the Family Promise Board of Trustees this past year were Pastor Randy Booth, Deb Weis, Fairy Elmer, Jon Brunner, Bob Beck, Ann Bush, David Olsen, Kimberly Cross, Victoria Solomon, Kris Wisnefske, Sara Latimer, Stephanie King and Linda Nack. To contribute and support them in the services they provide – or to help them address the need for a van, contact them through familypromisegreencounty.org or call 328-2600.

Protecting what we need and love from denial Denial, as I understand it, is a misguided way a human being protects himself from realities he can’t bear to face. In my own life and experience, denial has never resulted in anything good. Some people I’ve seen finally come to terms with their denial were able with courage, truth and compassion to recover from the personal damage. Yet in the public arena, one must admit historically that the wreckage abided too long by a people in denial becomes ever more catastrophic. Consequences can reach a point of no return. In recent weeks, I came across a term that illustrates the vital importance of collectively coming to grips with public denial. The term has been used variously in different contexts by no less than the National Academy of Sciences and the U.S. Department of Energy. Supposedly intelligent people, powerful and influential people, have used this term to justify public policies affecting everyone, everywhere in America. They employed the concept to call for a nation to embark on actions that achieved narrow economic outcomes, with far-reaching human, social and ecological impact. “National sacrifice area,” is this term they used. The very thought to me of any inhabited area, stretch of fertile soil, or homeland being written off – sacrificed for any reason – is shocking. As a farmer indebted to soil science, I know that microscopic life essential to the cycle of plants, animals and humans is abundantly present in every inch

of fertile ground. I understand that nearly 99 percent of the nation who do not farm now, don’t recognize this vital source of all life under their feet. Yet that a sizable number of us all are in denial and have abided this notion of “national sacrifice areas,” sometimes generation upon generation, for more than a century and a half, is disturbing. People who’ve stood to gain – who did greatly gain – from designating regions of the country “national sacrifice areas” often persuaded majorities of people that these lands were remote, that few would be affected. History has shown the reach, the consequence, of sacrificing areas of the Earth has often proven these arguments untrue. Eventually, all of us are affected. All of us share in the sacrifice. Relatively cheap energy was often the motivation for despoiling and sacrificing an area to extract minerals resources. Coal and nuclear power plant proponents each have found reasons to employ the term “national sacrifice area,” the one for extracting its fuel at great cost to much life, the other for storing its deadly radioactive waste. I discovered the extensive

effects of the former just out of Marquette’s graduate school of journalism in 1980. Within a few months, I’d taken a job with the National Forest Service to gain writing experience in its information office. Its regional office in Milwaukee flew me to the smallest of its forests in southern Indiana and Ohio to write press releases about their work. At the time in Ohio, the Forest Service was trying to reclaim small parcels of land left ruined and poisoning surface water as the result of mining practices. As background to the press release writing, I was made aware that mining had destroyed nearly a third of Ohio’s surface area since coal was first taken from its earth in 1800. A staggering 3.7 billion tons of coal has been removed from beneath once forested rolling hills and mountains in Ohio in that time.

Coal taken from a single mine, Ohio’s biggest mine, would fill rail cars 1,000 miles long. Is the image of that solid volume – now disintegrated and burned into gases – yet impacting us all to this day, everywhere around the world, not staggering? Fines mining companies had to pay for ruining water and landscape were at the time trivial. Yet the price the same companies demanded to use the same heavy mining equipment to reclaim even 1.5 acres of ruined and abandoned ground to the Forest Service was more than $1 million. In a book called “What are People for?” I recently read quotes from an activist trying to defend his coal mining neighbors in a “national sacrifice area” of Appalachia. Crippled miners, their families living in hovels or very spare housing conditions, ruined landscapes made uninhabitable even for microscopic life – for whose wealth, he asked. Was the sacri-

fice worth it? Journalists Chris Hedges and Bill Moyers have more recently exposed other forgotten corners of this country where Americans are trapped in endless cycles of poverty, powerlessness, and despair as a result of economic activity. Hedges has called these places “sacrifice zones.” Moyers & Company has explored how areas like Camden, New Jersey; Immokalee, Florida; and parts of West Virginia suffer while the corporations that plundered them thrive. It’s always easier to recognize what people past or present have been influenced to deny, have tried to deny, to protect themselves from what they cannot face. Has the fertile Upper Midwest become a “national sacrifice zone?” Is Wisconsin in certain ways becoming a “national sacrifice zone?” If we are, how can we protect what we need and love from our own denial?

Finding, supporting things in common with a newspaper By Tony Ends Editor

BRODHEAD — It was Black Friday and a fairly busy morning at the Independent Register. My wife Dela had come in with me to the newspaper to give longtime Office Manager Joyce Chrisbaum a rare and much-deserved day off. We thought the entire city would be spending the day Christmas shopping, so we expected it to be slow. It wasn’t anymore in our interest to have it quiet, though, than it is for any small community newspaper in the United States to greet silence. Business keeps us writing, informing, reporting.

I confess that something hopeful stirred inside me to hear Bob talk this way. Even before I left the last of a string of daily newspapers where I worked up until 1998, to pursue farming and agricultural research, I feared the internet would completely displace newspapers. Trends to warehouse stores were taking their toll, too. Every small business that closes its door because it cannot compete with volume sales – is a lost advertiser in the local paper. These days my age speaks more loudly to me than cyber space or consolidation trends. It reminds me of my frailties, my limitations. One never knows how long one has to serve others in any job, in any place. People like Bob Burns, though, give us hope that there will be legacies, that there will be positive communication, that communities will share things in common, and a newspaper will keep serving a people.

Green County Fair receives Friend of UW-Extension Award

Take a walk on the Albrecht side

one who wants to take a walk, 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. and 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Albrecht is closed over the school district’s scheduled winter break, Dec. 23 to Jan. 4. Children must be supervised at all times during walking periods. Brodhead School District is not responsible for personal injury or loss.

Many county fairs in Wisconsin are funded mainly through county tax dollars. In Green County, however, tax dollars fund less than 5 percent of the Green County Fair’s expenses. “It’s a real testament to this organization, its shareholders and community sponsors,” Mayer stated in a release about the award, “to have been able to maintain the Green County Fair for over 160 years for the ongoing benefit of our youth and the residents of Green County.”. In addition to conducting the Green County Fair, the Agriculture Society and Mechanic’s Institute also provides use of its facilities for many other community activities. These include flea markets, wedding receptions, car shows, tractor and truck pulls, state and

regional livestock shows, youth tractor safety classes and football games. It makes possible many other educational youth activities, all year round. “The Green County Fair provides an opportunity for our 4-H and FFA youth to showcase their talents, learn responsibility, model good sportsmanship and develop many other life-long skills,” Mayer said. “The Green County Agriculture Society is one of the many outstanding organizations in Green County that collaborate with UW-Extension to enhance our educational outreach efforts,” he said. “Through their dedication to our youth, agricultural industry and community programs, they have had a very positive impact on the lives of many in Green County.”

Towns invited to frac sand mining conference MADISON — In the past 5 years, Wisconsin experienced a boom in frac sand mining – from 5 sand mining facilities to 135 mines. In response, many communities across the state have worked to create tools to manage this development and protect common interests. This year, mining development slowed and even stopped in some areas. What lessons have local towns learned? What are positive and negative impacts? Are there emerging issues that need to be addressed? Town officials and interested citizens are invited to share their experiences and join in this important discussion, Monday, Dec. 14, in Eau Claire.

The cost to attend is $25 if registered by Dec. 8Town officials and interested citizens are invited to share their experiences and join in a day of discussion on frac sand mining. Sponsoring the program again this year are Wisconsin Farmers Union (representing rural residents and farmers more than 80 years) and Wisconsin Towns Association ( representing more than 1250 rural town and urban townships across the state). Participants will hear directly from local officials and independent professionals who are working with local governments to manage mining development. Topics will include: Mining Economic Benefits & Costs; Development and the Role of Local Government; Toolbox

PH TOS

for Towns; Mining Reclamation: Lessons Learned; Annexation: What Every Town Should Know; Review of Local Experiences with Local Officials; and Environmental Considerations: Air Quality & Groundwater Update. Fracking is a drilling technique in which a sand mixture and millions of gallons of water are blasted underground to extract oil and gas from rock, often from deep within the earth. Wisconsin has a special crush resistant type of sand coveted by fracking operations. The sessions on frac sand mining run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Plaza Hotel and Suites. Register today at www.wisconsinfarmersunion.com.
