tricts in terms of what we pay,” Lutzke said. He explained that a starting teacher’s salary breaks down to about $18.50 per hour. According to the district’s presentation last Thursday, it has “cut $3.42 million from [its] general operating budget over the past 10 years, eliminated 33.07 employees over the last eight years, aggressively reduced employee benefits, reduced budgets for textbooks, custodians, athletics, equipment, fieldtrips, and supplies, and increased student fees.” Even with the cuts the district has made, a large deficit lies on the horizon. “If everything were to remain exactly constant,” Lutzke said, “we would have a $3.226 million deficit over the next three years. “People ask, ‘Why don’t you just cut some more stuff?’ One of the things we spend a good deal of money on in our district is technology,” Lutzke explained. “We feel strongly – and I think it’s hard to argue – that technology is a vital thing that we need to teach as a school because it is part of everything that we do. So we’re not apologetic about the amount that we invest in technology because it’s as critical as English or math or science.” Clay Hammes, the board’s president, noted that he often hears

Heideman remained on the floor to discuss the blower bids for the Wastewater Treatment Plant; he explained that he received bids from six companies. Each bid was rated based on initial cost, annual electrical cost, and cost to set aside annually for replacement. Heideman explained that the bids typically last 20 years, and that Robuschi is the favored type of blower. The Village will have another chance to review the blower options when the bids are finalized. No action was taken.
people saying the district should cut sports, but he explained that the amount of money that athletic programs require is negligible. “When it comes to sports, the minute you start talking about cutting, you’ll get a number of parents who then will threaten to open enroll and many of them would and it would quickly exceed the cost of the sport.” “Sports are pretty cheap compared to the overall cost of running a school system,” Lutzke agreed. “Other than a uniform, there aren’t too many costs involved in them.” In moving forward, the district is asking for community input in continuing its current referendum. “We’re not asking for any more money,” Klein said. “We’re exploring the idea of maintaining our $350,000 operating referendum. It’s been in place for three years. It’s ending. We’d like to continue that.” The district is also considering reducing the referendum to $250,000, which would consequently reduce annual taxes by $25.17 per $100,000 in home value. “We’ve cut a lot of the low-hanging fruit already,” Klein said. “Any more cuts area going to start affecting the classroom.” More listening sessions are tentatively planned for the coming weeks. The district will need to pass a resolution at its Jan. 16 meeting in order to place a referendum on voting ballots this spring.

Facing budget constraints, the Parkview School District held a referendum listening session at the elementary school last Thursday, Dec. 15. “The referendum we had is expiring at the end of the year, and we’re looking at what we can do to move forward,” superintendent Steve Lutzke said. The district’s current referendum was passed on Apr. 1, 2013. The district also received a $17 million building referendum in 2014 to completely renovate the buildings that it still operates. It also earned $100,000 in the sale of Parkview Primary and $204,000 in the sale of the Newark school. According to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s report card assessment, the district currently exceeds expectations. This assessment is based on student performance and attendance and the district’s ability to close achievement gaps. Despite its successes, the district has faced challenges. “Our open enrollment – that’s been a troubling issue for Parkview for many years,” Lutzke said. “Act 10 took $561 per student away from schools. Even
before then, budgets were an issue with those declining enrollments.” Lutzke explained that the number of students who open enroll out of the district is trending downward, and more students are choosing to open enroll into the district, but the state aid that each student brings is insufficient in covering costs. To help combat the issue, the district has made reductions in staffing, cutting just over 15 full time staff positions over the past three years. Building consolidation has allowed the district to save over $500,000, broken down as follows: $109,172.56 in the reduction of one principal; $11,172.50 in the reduction of one .63 FTE food service employee; $84,906.59 in the reduction of one guidance counselor; $17,040.07 in the reduction of one LMC aide; $18,135.80 in the reduction of one .81 FTE secretary; $247,516.81 in the reduction of 5.67 FTE teaching positions; and $41,992.33 in the absence of utility and maintenance costs for Parkview Primary. Employee salaries and benefits have also been reduced, but starting teacher salary has increased in an effort to remain competitive with area districts. “We’re about right in the middle with the neighboring dis-

Green County Board Updates BOARD SUPERVISOR
The County Board meeting was Tuesday, Dec. 13. The board passed several resolutions for contracts, including IT auditing, IT contract extension, human services contracts, liability, workers’ comp and property insurance contracts, and a Justice Center AV systems upgrade. All of these were detailed in the budget when it passed in November. The IT audit is helping with the system problems that the county system has been experiencing. Work for many of the county employees has been frustrating and hampered due the glitches the computer system has been experiencing. Since the audit has started and issues in the system have been addressed, the computer system has been working better and experiencing fewer lags, delays, and glitches. Productivity and service is benefiting. Greg Holcomb, Green County’s Human Services Director, gave a nicely detailed explanation of the Human Services contracts and agencies identified on the resolution. These are the agencies with which Green County contracts for vital services throughout the year, such as psychological and psychiatric services, meals through Pleasant View Nursing Home, family services, and residential services for Green County individuals and families. An AV system is an immense time- and money-saving feature of our Justice Center. The AV system allows for meetings between personnel and people in detention without the expense and time of transport, which is exponentially beneficial when it involves long distances. The current AV system in the Justice Center is
still operational but is too old for updates and service. Due to the importance of an AV system, we are being proactive in approving a new system to be installed when the current one fails. The County Board also passed a resolution to establish a Green County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. The principal mission of the council will be to “enhance public safety in Green County through collaboration by ensuring offender accountability, providing effective rehabilitation programs, and supporting the rights and needs of victims” (wording taking from the resolution). Green County is not the first county in Wisconsin to establish a Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, and they have proven effective and beneficial to the counties that have already established one. If you are interested in reading more about these councils, you can find information at www.ccjc.doj. wi.gov. This resolution was put forth by the Human Services Board and passed unanimously. The next Green County Board meeting will be Jan. 10 at the historic courthouse in Monroe, at 7 p.m. Committee meetings are posted on the Green County website; all meetings are open to the public, and we encourage everyone to attend. Should you have any questions or comments and want to contact your supervisor, you can find his or her contact information on the website, as well (www. co.green.wi.gov). Even if you don’t live in district 24, you may contact me. I look forward to hearing from Green County residents! You can reach me at EricaRothGreenCountyBoard@ gmail.com or 608-371-9074.
Volunteers sought to help with taxes Volunteers are needed in the Monroe and Brodhead tax sites to assist persons with their tax returns via the VITA and AARP TCE programs. Do you enjoy helping people and working with numbers? Do you have a good eye for detail? It’s helpful and convenient if you are comfortable working on a computer but not necessary if you have tax experience.
Volunteers must attend four days of free program training in December and January. Computers and software are provided. The preparation season consists of one or possibly two days each week beginning the first week in February and ending Apr. 15. To volunteer, please call Nancy Friedly at 608-934-5590.

County clerks share results of presidential vote recount By Tony Ends
CORRESPONDENT
Green and Rock presidential vote recounts mirror state findingsthat vindicate Wisconsin’s election process, local county clerks said this past week. Hand-counting of 19,115 votes cast with new election machines across Green County showed not one vote difference, County Clerk Mike Doyle said in a phone interview Tuesday, Dec. 13. “This goes to the credit of all the clerks in Green County’s towns, villages, and cities and all their poll workers,” Doyle said a day after the state confirmed the overall recount. “The excellent job they do is reflected in the outcome, verified in the recount by hand, which showed no change from voting by machines in the November election,” he said. Recount of votes cast for president in the western six of Rock County’s 20 townships – also Footville, Orfordville and portions of Brodhead that lie in Rock, turned up only a four-vote difference. More than 76,000 citizens cast votes for president in the November election across Rock County, Clerk Lisa Tollefsontold the Independent Register last week. “The Rock County crew working the recount was amazing and did a tremendous job,” Tollefsonsaid. “The most amazing part of the process was the collaboration between election inspectors from different parts of the county, taking ideas from each other to use in their own polling locations. Rock County should definitely be proud of their election workers,” Tollefson said.
Wisconsin Elections Commission Chair Mark Thomsen certified results of the presidential election Monday, Dec. 12, following a 10day recount process. In a public statement, Thomsen said the state-wide recount confirmed Republican Donald J. Trump won the seven-way vote for president in Wisconsin. “Completing this recount was a challenge, but the real winners are the voters,” Thomsen said in the statement posted on the new state election commission website. “Based on the recount, they can have confidence that Wisconsin’s election results accurately reflect the will of the people, regardless of whether they are counted by hand or by machine. The commission thanks all those involved in the recount for their hard work and dedication.” Statewide, Donald Trump received 1,405,284 votes in the recount compared to 1,404,440 in the original canvass. Hillary Clinton received 1,382,536 votes in the recount compared to 1,381,823 in the recount. Originally, the margin between the top two candidates was 22,617 votes. After the recount, the margin increased very slightly to 22,748. After the recount, Trump’s margin of victory over Clinton increased 131 votes. During the last statewide recount in 2011 for Supreme Court Justice, the net change in totals between the two top candidates was 312 votes. “The biggest reason for these small differences between the unofficial results on Election Night, the counties original canvasses and the recount results is human error,” said
WEC Administrator Michael Haas. “Some voters do not follow the instructions and mark their ballots correctly for the machines can count them. In the tight deadlines to report the results, election officials make math mistakes. We forget things; we accidentally transpose numbers,” Haas said. “That said, this recount was a remarkable job by Wisconsin’s local election officials – county clerks and municipal clerks and their staffs, canvass board members, tabulators – most of whom did not know until the Monday after Thanksgiving that we would likely have a recount of the presidential election in Wisconsin,” Haas said. “Three days later, they were starting the recount, and all counties were done with the counting process within 10 days.” “I said from the start that this would be a challenge for some counties to complete, but Wisconsin election officials have risen to many challenges in recent years. They worked evenings and weekends. Waukesha County had shifts working until midnight. Dane County committed to counting every ballot by hand. Across the state, thousands of dedicated individuals put their personal plans on hold to ensure that the recount was conducted accurately and efficiently, and we appreciate their work,” Haas said. Updated totals are posted on the WEC website: http://elections.wi.gov/elections-voting/ recount/2016-presidential. The election commission will post its official canvass results at http:// elections.wi.gov/elections-voting/ results. In thepresidential recount in Rock
County, the overall vote change added five votes to Donald Trump’s total and subtracted four votes from Hillary Clinton’s total, Tollefson said. Changes in individual municipalities are: City of Brodhead (Rock County Portion) - no changes; Village of Footville - no changes; Village of Orfordville – one additional vote for Trump; Town of Avon – nochanges; Town of Center – one additional vote for Trump; Town of Magnolia - no changes; Town of Newark – oneless vote for Trump and one less vote for Clinton; Town of Plymouth - no changes; Town of Spring Valley - no changes. Municipal clerks and election inspectors from all over Rock County participated in this first-ever statewide Presidential Recount, which started on Dec. 1 and finished with the Rock County Board of Canvassers signing off the on official Recount Certification on Monday, Dec. 12, according to Tollefson. “Approximately 80 tabulators, mainly municipal clerks and election inspectors, worked on the recount, reviewing absentee ballot envelopes to see if the ballot should have been rejected or accepted, reviewing re-made ballots to ensure accuracy, reviewing poll books for irregularities, reviewing ballots for voter intent, and tallying votes,” the Rock County Clerk said. “The majority of changes in the vote were due first to absentee ballots that should have been rejected on Election Day, causing an absentee ballot to be randomly drawn down at the recount, and second, adding to a candidate’s totals by
determining voter intent,” Tollefson said. Rock County recount tabulators worked varying shifts between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., some full days and others working split shifts. The County Board of Canvassers, including Larry Holterman, Dave Vaughn, and Lucille Vickerman, and County Clerk Tollefson, were present for the entire recount process. Tollefson estimated the process would cost $82,000 prior to the recount, but as of last week, Rock County was still compiling the actual costs and didn’t have a final total yet. Doyle contacted clerks for volunteers to take part in Green County’s presidential recount and lined up four volunteers. Town of Decatur Clerk Ann Schwartz and her husband Dennis, Town of Jefferson Clerk Amy McCullough, and Diane Morrisy all volunteered to tabulate Green County’s recount, Doyle said. They worked long hours over two-andone-half days with the clerk and his deputy to get the local recount done. Roland Carlen for the Republican Party and John Welty for the Democratic Party in Green County helped oversee the process with Independent Party office holder Doyle. The cost of tabulation, including time and mileage for all taking part, was about $6,000. Green Party candidate for president Jill Stein put up $3.5 million in public contributions to pay Wisconsin for an audit of the November general election across the state. No public funds were used to verify the vote by recount.

Huey helicopter makes final landing It has been a 10-year vision that has finally come to fruition. Through the years of planning, fundraising, and coordinating, Larry Ayres, President of the Green County Veterans Memorial Park (GCVMP), has finally seen his vision become a reality. The Huey helicopter is now in place. As a Vietnam helicopter pilot, Larry, his wife Karen, and the park’s board members have worked tirelessly to put a Huey helicopter into the GCVMP as a memorial for those who served. On Dec. 2, local resident and employee of the Michels Corporation,
Derrick Heisz showed his skills as the crane operator to set the restored Vietnam Huey as its final landing into park. Heisz also had help from Joel Ends, Danny Lockin, Andrew Mueller, and James Grigsby in setting the Huey in for its final landing. The Green County Veterans Memorial Park is located at the corner of Highway 81 and County N in Monroe. Contributions toward the park can be sent to Green County Veterans Memorial Park, c/o Community Fund of Southwest WI, 53566. More information is available on www.greencountyveterans.org.

Give back – it’s good for your health! Volunteering has a long history in the United States. People give their time each year for free and fully embrace the concept that it is really better to give than to receive. It may surprise you to find out that these same people are actually reaping benefits they may not even known about: better health. The Corporation for National & Community Service reported that it has been proven that volunteers have lower mortality rates, less depression, increased brain activity, are more physically active, and have greater levels of well-being. Plus, they are helping solve community problems and enhancing the health of the members of their communities. Sounds like a recipe for success! Volunteering can be a part of your
healthy lifestyle, and there are a variety of opportunities available for you to explore right here in Monroe. Volunteers play a unique and important role in helping people in our communities, and the opportunities are as varied as you and me. Below are just a few options for you to consider.

about the modern city of Bethlehem and about some of the ministries of Palestinian Christians still living in the town of Jesus’ birth. One of the joys of our trip to Bethlehem was worshipping with Christmas Lutheran Church and seeing the impact of their ministries. Today, Christians are a minority in the city of Bethlehem, but they have a large impact through their work in health care, education, and other nonprofits. Ten years ago, Pastor Mitri Raheb and Christmas Lutheran began the Diyar (Arabic for “homeland”) Consortium to serve the children, youth, women, and elderly of the Palestinian community. They take the words of Jesus from John 10:11 as their mission: “That they may have life and have it abundantly.” One of the Diyar projects we toured was the College of Arts and Culture they started in 2006. Currently, the college is building a library, which will be the largest library in the West Bank. I was amazed by all that God is doing through the Christians in Bethlehem. I wanted to sing again: “Glory to God in the highest!” With the shepherds and our Christian brothers and sisters all around the world, we are invited to be transformed again by the good news of Christmas. The final verse of “O Little Town of Bethlehem” says, “O holy child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray; cast out our sin, and enter in, be born in us today.” May Christ meet all of your hopes and fears, and may the light of Christ be born in us today!

Larry Ayres looks on as the Huey helicopter is placed on its perch on Dec. 2.
I wonder what hopes and fears you are carrying with you this Christmas season. Maybe you’re grieving a loved one this December or facing a health challenge. Maybe your family is experiencing financial stress or is constantly under the pressure of busy schedules. Or maybe you’re simply feeling hopeful and excited for the festivities. Whatever it is you carry in your heart, the Christian faith makes this remarkable claim: the birth of Jesus is good news for you. As the hymn “O Little Town of Bethlehem” says in its first verse, “the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.” Every hope and fear you carry with you is somehow met in the person of Jesus Christ. As you prepare your heart for Christmas, I would like to share two experiences from a trip I took to Bethlehem this fall. Luke 2:1-21 tells the story of Jesus’ birth in that little town of Bethlehem. It’s a familiar story, but it is a story worth repeating. Perhaps, as a spiritual practice, you and your family could read the Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke before opening presents this year. Each time we hear the story, it has the power to transform us. Our trip to Bethlehem was a spiritual experience for me in that it drew me further into God’s Word for us in the Christmas story. The first story I’d like to share is
about our visit to the Shepherd’s Field just outside of Bethlehem. The Shepherd’s Field is traditionally believed to be the place where the angels announced the birth of Jesus to shepherds who were watching their sheep. In Luke 2:10-11, the angels say to the shepherds, “Do not be afraid! For see – I am bringing your good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.” Then, a heavenly host appears with the angel singing, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!” (Luke 2:14). When our tour group arrived at the Shepherd’s Field, we walked down to the Chapel of the Angels, which is built on the site. From this chapel, you can look up the hill and see the top of the Church of the Nativity, which marks the place of Jesus’ birth. As we stood there, I imagined what it must have been like for those first shepherds to make the journey from their fields to see the newborn king lying in a manger. I wonder what they carried in their hearts on their journey into Bethlehem. Inside the Chapel of the Angels, our group sang “Angels We Have Heard on High.” It gave me chills to join in the song of the heavenly host: “Gloria in excelsis Deo” (Latin for: “Glory to God in the highest!”). We joined in praising the birth of the Savior, and it happened in the land where we were standing. The second story I’d like to share is

Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact on the Environment and Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds Posting date: December 21, 2016 TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS: On or about January 7, 2017, La Crosse County will request the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of Energy, Housing, and Community Resources, to release funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program created by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 for the following project: Project Name: Southwest Wisconsin Housing Region Small Cities CDBG Project Address: 400 4th Street North, La Crosse, WI 54601 Amount of Funds: $2,464,310 It has been determined that such request for release of funds will not constitute an action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and accordingly La Crosse County has not decided to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (PL 91-190). The reasons for such decision are: An environmental assessment has been completed and any adverse impact can be mitigated through consultation with the appropriate laws, authorities, and agencies. An Environmental Review Record respecting this project has been made by La Crosse County documenting the environmental review of the project and setting forth the reasons why such Statement is not required. This Environmental Review Record is on file at Couleecap, Inc., 700 Third Street North, La Crosse, WI 54601, and is available for public examination and copying upon request between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. No further environmental review of such project is proposed to be conducted prior to the request for release of Federal funds. All agencies, groups and persons disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written comments for consideration by the State to the above-mentioned address. Such written comments should be received at the address specified on or before January 22, 2017. All such comments so received will be considered and the State will not request the release of Federal funds or take any administrative action on the project prior to such date. La Crosse County will undertake the project described above with Community Development Block Grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. La Crosse County is certifying to HUD that La Crosse County and chief executive officer, in her official capacity as County Board Chair consent to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental reviews, decision making and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the certification is that upon its approval La Crosse County may use the Community Development Block Grant funds and La Crosse County will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. DOAERCE-DOH will accept an objection to its approval of the release of funds and acceptance of the certification only if: (a) the certification was not in fact executed by the chief executive officer or other officer of applicant approved by DOAERCE-DOH; or (b) the applicant’s environmental review record for the project indicates omission of a required decision, finding, or step applicable to the project in the environmental review process. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedure (24 CFR Part 58) and may be addressed to: Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of Energy, Housing and Com-
munity Resources, P.O. Box 7970, Madison, Wisconsin, 53707-7970. Objections to the release of funds on bases other than those stated above will not be considered by DOAERCE-DOH. No objection received after January 22, 2017, will be considered by DOAERCE-DOH. Sincerely, Todd Mandel Community Development Director Couleecap, Inc.

Pet of the Week
Jasmine is a two-year-old, female domestic longhair. She is spayed. Jasmine (or Jazzy) is a complex little kitty with one trickster of a personality. Stunningly beautiful with her mottled, tortoiseshell coat and graceful, feline frame, Jasmine is an impressive cat to behold. While she rarely leaves her kittycondo to venture into the world, Jazzy likes to play coy and invite people to pet her. Intelligent and playful, this wily cat will either reward your curious efforts with a loving nuzzle or a mischievous swat. Jasmine, full of surprises, is truly looking for that special someone to
bring her home. The shelter’s material needs include: For the Dogs: hot dogs, canned dog food, Mounds Dog Power, rawhide retriever sticks, Kongs, Frisbees, tennis balls, and peanut butter. For the Cats: Kitten Milk (formula), Mounds Purrfect Cat, and canned cat food. Misc Supplies: laundry detergent, Dawn Dish Soap, Clorox Bleach, paper towels, stamps, copy paper, hand sanitizer, aluminum cans, and hand soap. The Green County Humane Society thanks those who donate.
New Horizons 4-H meets By Connor Brauer CLUB MEMBER
Members of New Horizons 4-H met Sunday, Nov. 13. Vice President Justin Moore brought the meeting to order. The thought for the day was, “How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it.” Connor Brauer led the flag salute, and Chance Ace led the club pledge. Roll call was answered by giving a fact about water. Minutes were approved and seconded by Roxane Ace and Jaydon Brauer. The treasurer’s report was approved and seconded by Chance and Maylee Brauer. Reports were given for the adult and junior leader meetings. Unfinished business was discussed. We will do several service projects this year. Members attended different events this past month. We made committees for upcoming club events. Members were reminded of the Meals on Wheels project and the charter training. New business was brought up. Our educational moment was spent discussing the importance of community service. We will add the Leaders’ Choice award to our club awards program. Youth were asked to help the Day
of Arts Committee with their event in February. Members brought stuffed animals they hoped would become the club mascot. From a field of five, members voted and chose the very large teddy bear brought by Roxane. Several names were suggested, and members voted that Boo Boo would become our club mascot. Levi Brauer drew the name of the lucky family who would entertain Boo Boo until our next meeting. The Brauer family has an extra member in their family until our December meeting. Announcements were read. Roxane moved to adjourn the business meeting. Chance seconded it. Talks and demonstrations followed. The Cloverbuds and our explorer talked about ways of conserving water, which went along with our roll call. Those included Chance, Roxane, Addyson Brauer, Jaydon, Shannon Day, and Aisha Moen. They are really improving on giving talks. Chance moved for final adjournment. Shannon seconded it. We socialized, ate good food, and cleaned up. Members colored pictures for veterans. You can join 4-H anytime. Check out what 4-H has to offer. To join New Horizons, call Paul at 934-5377 for more information.
