Well versed in that church history were Clyde and Margaret Davis, who first brought home the idea for Union Soup Day from a vacation up north and attending a church that held a similar fundraiser. Frank and Rosalie Leopold, Hasel Wilson and Dan and Bef Kopfenstein all got behind the idea to volunteer. Clyde’s passing in his 90s in January leaves Oakley-Union Methodist both an emptiness and sense of importance to carry on the annual event he and Margaret inspired. Their daughter Jan Sullivan is credited with continued help in planning, as well as crafts-making for the church benefit. The church is easy to find, south off State Highway 11, through Juda on County Highway S to a first stop sign south of Juda. Turn left at that intersection to follow Union Road, which winds and turns until you can see that country church, high up on its hill. It’s not too much more than 15 minutes’ drive from Monroe or Brodhead, 10 minutes from Juda. Pastor Vicki Brantmeyer and the entire church community welcome all to attend.

last Tuesday for the ordinance’s adoption. Tuls and an attorney from Michael, Best and Fredrich of Milwaukee had been attending Town of Decatur meetings for months. Their presence followed announcement last summer of intentions to build Pinnacle Dairy in the Town of Sylvester 4 miles west of Brodhead. Green County Land and Water Conservation has been waiting ever since for the Tuls to produce signed contracts for spreading up to 95 million gallons of manure annually on 7,000 acres in the Pinnacle plan. Tuls family members and their crop advisors from the DeLong Co. based in Clinton had been soliciting land owners for signed permissions to apply manure in Decatur and Sylvester townships. Sylvester passed similar health and safety protections from liquid manure nearly half a year ago. The town amended the ordinance in mid-February with stronger spreading setbacks and prohibitions from features and conditions that leave water sources vulnerable to pollution. Both a volunteer team of scientists and a citizens study committee for the Town of Sylvester recommended the stronger setbacks. The science team’s 124-page report on environmental and health impacts of concentrated animal feeding operations may be viewed at the Green County Defending our Farmland website, or by emailing the Sylvester clerk, Jacqueline Witt.

Organic commitment evolves from novice start to board of directors By Tony Ends Editor and Staff Writer

LACROSSE — Dela Ends of rural Western Rock County took her place in recent weeks alongside nine other board members of the largest organic educational program in the United States. This board directs Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES), a nonprofit organization that promotes organic and sustainable agriculture. MOSES works to provide the education, resources and expertise farmers need to succeed organically and sustainably. The organization has its roots in the Upper Midwest Organic Farming Conference, which took place this past week in La Crosse. This year’s conference included a 2-day Organic University program of intensive training, then the 2-day conference itself,

Tony Ends photo

Dela Ends takes minutes to a South Central Chapter of Wisconsin Farmers Union meeting in Albany last week. The long-time organic grower in Spring Valley Township northeast of Brodhead left later last week for 5 days in La Crosse and a new role she’s taken on. She began serving as a board member with the largest regional organic and sustainable agriculture education program in the United States.

which featured 65 workshop options. The workshops of widely varying interest to organic producers drew more than 3,400 participants. A two-floor exhibit hall with 170 vendors of organic farming products and services filled the La Crosse Arena over the course of the conference. Dela is my wife, garden mentor and partner of nearly 30 years. We first made our way to the MOSES conference nearly 20 years ago, with four of our five children. We’d just begun vegetable production a few years earlier on remnants of a dairy farm. We called our farming business Scotch Hill Farm, after the road we lived on a few miles northeast of Brodhead. We began with five customers in Janesville, where I then worked as a wire and special sections editor for the Janesville Gazette. Those first members of our Community Supported Agriculture farm subscribed for 15 weeks of fresh produce delivery. We had no greenhouses, no equipment, no money to invest, and no experience. Yet Dela and I had a hunger to learn; a passion for living, growing things; and a stubborn will to break into farming. We worked other jobs for 15 years to sustain our family, plowing back into equipment, buildings and resources most of what we earned from vegetables, livestock and farmstead products. That organic conference we first attended drew 300 or 400 people. It inspired us every year we attended to keep growing, learning and trying to farm organically. In the early years, the conference was held at the Dominican mother house and retreat center, this side of the Mississippi from Dubuque at Sinsinawa Mound. MOSES conference began in 1990 to help educate a growing number of farmers interested in organic agriculture. 1990 was

also the year Congress passed the Organic Foods Production Act, which created national standards for organic production. Members of the Wisconsin Organic Crop Improvement Association Educational Fund started the annual conference to help farmers learn about the standards and give them a place to share organic production methods. That first conference in 1990 drew 90 farmers. By 1999, conference attendance rose above 1,000, prompting its move north to La Crosse with its greater capacity to host large gatherings and conferences. In recent years the conference has regularly drawn more than 3,000 participants. MOSES’ first office was a closet in volunteer and market grower Faye Jones’ home near the village of Spring Valley an hour from Eau Claire. That’s not to be confused with our rural Spring Valley Township in Western Rock County. As the organization grew, it was housed in a trailer on Jones’ farm. In 2009, MOSES moved to a 4,200-square-foot building on Spring Valley’s main street to accommodate its growing staff and services. Today, MOSES has a staff of 10 who manage educational events, programs, publications, and more to help farmers succeed in organic production. The Upper Midwest Organic Farming Conference has become known as the MOSES Organic Farming Conference, or simply, the MOSES Conference. It is now the country’s largest event for the organic farming community. Jones is retiring this year after 25 years of service to the organization, and MOSES is looking for a new director. Dela and I, who aren’t yet retiring, are about to begin a 22nd growing season at Scotch Hill. We do so with grateful hearts to MOSES and a chance for Dela to be serving on its board of directors.

Where in the watershed is this?

LSRWA holds photo contest BRODHEAD — The Lower Sugar River Watershed Association (LSRWA) is holding a “Where in the Watershed?” photo identification contest.

She was born on Sept. 27, 1921, in Spring Valley Township, Rock County, the daughter of William and Rose (Luchsinger) Hall. She graduated from Brodhead High School.

ALBANY — Noel Philip Workman, 75, of Albany,

passed away at his home with family by his side on Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2016. He was born on Dec. 7, 1940, in Lansing, W.Va., to Phillip and Thelma Workman. Noel then went on to serve in the Army during 1956 and 1957. He was united in marriage to Barbara Severson at the Vermont Lutheran Church on June 16, 1962. He was a jack of all trades. He had worked at Oscar Mayer, sold life insurance, then worked at Subzero, from which he retired. During his retirement he started Noel’s Jams and Jellies, selling them at area farmer’s markets. He also loved nature and had developed trails throughout the woods near his home, where he also cared for his garden. He was also an accomplished shade tree mechanic and car enthusiast. Over his

want to hold power or authority over others. They want to lead committees, groups, or organizations because it fulfills their desire to be seen and affirmed. This in itself is not necessarily a bad thing. (Just in case you hold an office and were worried that I was telling you that it was a bad thing.) When it becomes bad and detrimental is when that person uses his or her power to push an agenda, ignore the voices and needs of the many, and lead the organization in a selfish direction. So what do we do about pride? This is what we talked about Sunday and will discuss again at tonight’s service. Pride is a sneaky little thing. We have a hard time admitting that we have it and an even harder time witnessing its destructive nature. First and foremost, then, we have to admit to ourselves that we are prideful. Let’s

be clear; everyone has some prideful streak in them. We have to assess how much we have in us. After we admit to ourselves that we are prideful people, then it’s time to tackle the pride. We can start by recognizing where we have hurt others with our pride and make amends. Then take the time to admit that we are not alone in this world and we need others. Be sure to thank those around you for being in your life. As you go through this week, admit when you are wrong, help another person or organization, and refrain from being overly critical. We are not on this earth alone. We cannot and do not live in isolation. We need each other. So let’s use our energies and talents for the good of the whole instead of just the good of one.

worked at Brodhead Typewriter and farmed with her husband for many years. She was a member of Bethany Lutheran Church. She is survived by her granddaughters, Amy Taylor of Eau Claire, WI and Ann (Bob) Brown of Brodhead; grandson, Charlie (Danielle) Gallagher of Brodhead; and great grandchildren, Joey and Madi Brown and Brody and Aliza Gallagher. She was preceded in death by her husband, son, Robert, brother, George, and a daughter-inlaw, Enid Frie. Funeral services were held Tuesday, March 1 at Bethany Lutheran Church, with Pastor Richard Thickpenny officiating. Burial services were in West Luther Valley Cemetery. A visitation was held Tuesday from 10:00 am until the time of service at the church. Everson Funeral Home assisted the family.

Noel Philip Workman

Pastor’s Corner This Lent, the Brodhead United Methodist Church is using our 40 days to work on our hearts. It is called the 40 Day Challenge: 40 Days to a Healthier Heart. We as a society will spend money and time on programs like: 21 Day Fix, 2 Week Rapid Weight Loss Program, Turbo10, P90X, or the 7 Day Declutter Bootcamp. Why not spend 40 days to gain something even more important than weight loss, fitness, or organization: a healthier heart? In the 40 Day Challenge: 40 Days to a Healthier Heart program, we talk about an element of negativity that we want to eliminate from our lives each week. This week, we are working toward eliminating pride in order to gain cooperation. I will start with a difficult question: Are you prideful? I know that the socially acceptable response is to say no, but you are in the comfort of your own home with no one around you. You can answer honestly. Do you have too much pride in your life, in your heart? Are you overly critical? Yet

do you have a hard time when others correct you? Do you have a hard time admitting when you are wrong? Are REV. KRYSTAL you more GOODGER c o n c e r ned Brodhead about your United problems, Methodist needs, and Church burdens than about others’ concerns? Do you neglect to express gratitude for “little things?” To God? To others? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might suffer from pride. Now a little bit of pride, which might be considered as self-esteem, is OK. It’s when you start putting yourself and your wants and needs above others that it becomes a problem. We are the Body of Christ, so everyone is equally important. No one person should have prominence over the whole. In a community, the proud tend to be the ones who hold or

WARNING SIGNS OF CO POISONING

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas produced by stoves, heating systems and gasoline engines. Knowing the warning signs of CO poisoning can save your life. CO poisoning feels much like the flu without the fever. Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fatigue, headache and irregular breathing. If CO poisoning is the cause, symptoms will disappear when you go outside and return when you re-enter the house. If you suspect a leak, evacuate your home immediately and call the nearest poison control center. Get your heating system and fuelburning appliances checked yearly to ensure proper function.

Representative Mark Spreitzer visits Parkview students ORFORDVILLE — State Assembly Representative Mark Spreitzer visited Parkview Elementary students on Monday, Feb. 15. Spreitzer’s audience consisted of fifth and sixth graders who are preparing for the Modern Woodman speaking contest. This year’s contest topic is hunger. Because Rep. Spreitzer serves on the Public Benefit Reform Committee which covers the Food Share Program, he presented on the topic. Spreitzer said there are two ways those in need get food: from local food pantries and

through the Food Share program. Every month, the Food Share program provides funding to families so that they may purchase food. Spreitzer explained to the students that a proposal is a bill that has not yet become a law. Proposals are reviewed in committees such as the one he serves on. Then, they go before the assembly for a vote. If it passes both the Assembly and the Senate, it goes to the governor to be signed into law. He told them that there are 99 representatives in the Assembly. Spreitzer told the students that his biggest concern is that

students who will be four years old on or before Sept. 1, 2016. Informational/registration packets will be mailed to families that are in the district census. Early childhood and 4K classes will be cancelled on these days. Please call Mary Jo Lavery at the Parkview Elementary School (608-879-2956) at your earliest convenience to request a packet if you did not receive one in the mail, or stop at the office to pick up a set of materials.

people who need food get it. He said that there is a proposal being worked on through another committee that would assist farmers. This proposal would provide assistance farmers can’t afford to harvest. That food may then be donated to food pantries through the “Feeding Wisconsin” program. After giving a brief talk, Spreitzer asked the students for questions. One question was, “How many other countries in the world have worse hunger than the US?” Spreitzer replied that he didn’t have numbers but that the United States has enough money that no one should go hungry. Some of the countries with extreme hunger problems are very poor countries who are unable to help their citizens. Another student asked, “Is hunger in Wisconsin found more in large cities or small towns?” Spreitzer answered that it is in both. He said it may be families or it may be retired persons who have a pension but Courtesy photo not enough to pay for food and Representative Mark Spreitzer addresses students’ concerns medical care.

Senior Kortni Grenawalt signs Letter of Intent to play softball with Madison College.

Parkview’s Kortni Grenawalt signs with Madison College ORFORDVILLE — Kortni Grenawalt, Parkview senior, has signed a Letter of Intent to play softball with Madison College. Grenawalt, daughter of Matt and Darla Grenawalt, agreed to play on the Division II Junior College team when she signed on Sunday, Feb. 14. Grenawalt has been playing softball since she was young. According to her father, she tried T-ball initially but didn’t like it. She brought home a sign-up sheet for softball when she was eight. That’s when her love for softball began. Having begun playing on traveling teams around age 11 or 12, Grenawalt started pitching early, as well. She began pitching at 12. Her father has worked with her along the way. He said he’s always asked if it was what she wanted to do. Grenwalt has always wanted to go to Madison College, as she knew she could get a good

liberal arts education there and then go to a four-year college to finish her education. She said it was her dream to sign with Madison College. When she started working with Coach Bridges, it reaffirmed her desire to attend. She said that she wouldn’t be where she is as a player if she hadn’t worked with him. Parkview’s upcoming softball season is something Grenawalt is looking forward to.

She said Parkview is one of the pre-season picks to do well in the conference. Softball starts Monday, March 14, with the first game scheduled for Tuesday, March 29, at 4:45 p.m. at the Parkview High School Softball Field.

Political group helps Wisconsin discover who we all are By Tony Ends Editor and Staff Writer

ALBANY — Christian Proust, field organizer for a group called “We are Wisconsin,” brought a message here last week that few communities hear advocated in politics. Proust spoke during a lunch meeting at Dam Near Home bar and grill to about 30 South Central Chapter members of Wisconsin Farmers Union. It was a pep talk of sorts and a warm-up to another presentation for anyone interested tomorrow, Thursday, March 3, at Monroe Public Library. Proust’s topic then and now may strike some folks as politically from another solar system: How to talk without judging people; how to have phone conversations, knock on doors, attend public meetings and talk – without judgment, without pressure. “We need to stop getting angry to the point we’re not talking to one another,” Proust said. “To get organized politically, we need to listen. In organizing We are Wisconsin in 2011, we realized that 90 percent of what we have are commonalities; we realized that we need to come together around common interests.” To that end, “We Are Wisconsin” is a coalition organized around distinct goals, conducting separate programs for a common purpose. Through its voter edu-

cation and mobilization program, We Are Wisconsin is working to educate and assist disconnected and under-represented populations on voting and taking part in elections in a nonpartisan manner. We Are Wisconsin is also trying to engage and empower state residents to act on important public policy issues. We Are Wisconsin Political Action Committee and We Are Wisconsin Political Fund are trying to recruit and elect candidates. The group is seeking out, training and supporting individuals who believe the public needs progressive policies important to working families all across Wisconsin. With a Relational Voter Program, We are Wisconsin is trying to groom candidates and supportive volunteers to break through millions of dollars in TV and radio commercials – with their voices, one-on-one. Proust is out and about Green County for We are Wisconsin. He’s focused on creating local networks, fostering conversations with neighbors, training candidates and volunteers for campaigns. “We help people find a role in local organization building,” he said. “We need to get all voices at the table. We need to get people under 30 especially to get involved.”

In the same meeting with local Farmers Union members last week, Rep. Mark Spreitzer underscored an alarming need in the Wisconsin legislature for wider popular access to the political process. Spreitzer described several hundred bills being rammed into enactment in less than 3 days in February. They passed largely along party lines, with almost no discussion, conversation, or compromise. In sharp contrast, Spreitzer’s proposal to help young and aspiring farmers finance college has won co-sponsorship with four Republican Assemblymen. It is also drawing media coverage around the state and supportive calls from individuals. South Central Chapter members will meet again to hear presentations from Lafayette and Green county NRCSA conservation agents from 11 to 1 p.m., Monday, March 14. Location of that meeting has yet to be announced. State Farmers Union members will gather in Madison to lobby elected leaders the next day, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., Tuesday, March 15. For more details on these and other meetings, contact chapter president Kris Marion at 5580501, or maidmarion@circlemfarm.com.

NOTICE OF MUNICIPAL REVALUATION FROM THE VILLAGE OF ORFORDVILLE For the 2016 tax assessment year, the Village of Orfordville will undergo a full revaluation of all taxable property under Wisconsin Statutes 70.05. Municipal revaluations are periodically required by the State of Wisconsin and typically take place about once every five years. The Village’s assessed values have been monitored annually by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, Bureau of Property Tax, and are no longer in compliance with state regulation standards. Associated Appraisal Consultants, Inc., a private assessment firm from Appleton, WI, has been retained by the Village of Orfordville to complete the revaluation for 2016. The revaluation will establish new assessed values in an equitable fashion for all properties in the Village at 100% of market value. The revaluation will not have any effect on the total dollar amount of taxes collected by the Village of Orfordville. However, the revaluation will re-distribute the tax burden in an equitable fashion according the current market value of each property in the Village. The revaluation will also serve to update the Village’s property records to accurately reflect current property characteristics. To insure that an accurate revaluation is performed, it will be necessary for the appraisal staff to conduct both an interior and exterior review of all homes and commercial buildings within the village limits. A brief interior walk-through is necessary for consideration of the features, quality, and condition of a home or structure, all of which may affect the market value. Please note, the appraisers have no interest in your housekeeping or your personal belongings. Each appraiser will carry a letter of identification from the Village Clerk, a Photo ID tag, and will be driving a red fleet vehicle clearly identified with the Associated Appraisal company logo. If no one is home when the appraiser visits your property, a door hanger will be left with instructions on how to arrange an appointment for an interior review. When the property reviews are

For revaluation questions, please call Associated Appraisal at 1-800721-4157. Thank you for your help in creating a successful 2016 Revaluation Program.

MONROE — Teamwork has a dramatic effect on organizational performance. An effective team can help an organization achieve incredible results. Green County UW Extension, with Monroe Chamber of Commerce and Incorporating the Invisible, is offering “Spring Training for Your Team.” This collaborative training will provide three sessions of workshops. Participants may be people who work together in business or nonprofits, members of boards or committees. Any group that may benefit from better team work is invited. Classes will be held Fridays, March 4, 11 and 18 at Peppercorn Banquets. Attendance at all three is required. However, team members can pick either of two schedules – morning sessions from 8:30 a.m. to noon, or afternoon sessions from 1 to 4:30 pm. Each participant will receive knowledge from three highly interactive classes (one each day). Classes will include Real Colors, Emotional Intelligence and Experiential Learning Activities. Each will have a Real Colors book and assessment; an Emotional Intelligence book and assessment; and real solutions to organizational and workforce issues. Teams are behind the force that drives most organizations. Whether it is a functional team, a team of managers or a project team, people get most done when they work together effectively. People must learn to work together and understand how to relate to one another. Otherwise, the team’s output will be less than it could be. Attending these workshops as a team is an effective method to reduce conflict and improve working relationships. The team can then focus on its real work, and achieve its objectives. The cost is $80 per person; sign up three people to attend the program, and the fourth attendance is free of charge. To register, contact the Monroe Chamber office at 608 325-7648. Because these classes are highly interactive, we are limited to 30 people per session. It is anticipated these classes will fill quickly with nonprofit boards and larger teams. We will do our best to accommodate everyone. If you have a large team that would like to attend, RSVP as soon as possible. Contact Victoria Solomon, Community Resource Development Educator at Green County UW-Extension (608) 328-9440 or via e-mail at victoria.solomon@ces.uwex.edu if you need more information.
