Girl Scouts reap personal benefits in benefit sale By Tony Ends Editor and Staff Writer

ALBANY — Watching a 5th-grader sell the signature cookies we all know help the Girl Scout, shows benefits extending way beyond the sale. Take Skye McDermott, for instance. She’s been hard at it again this year, pitching Girl Scout Cookies from tables set up in store foyers and going door-to-door. She looks straight into your eyes. She talks freely, maturely. She thinks clearly out loud, explaining all the options, answering questions before

there’s even time to think of them. “It teaches them math skills, how to be assertive, changing money, how to be comfortable selling,” observed Skye’s mom and Troop Leader, Renee McDermott, last Friday night at Albany Mini Mart. “I’ve watched how they’ve grown from selling cookies. We have a young girl who didn’t think she could even sell 50 boxes, and now she’s sold more than 400 of them. The girls get excited to sell; they like selling cookies,” Renee said, even as her daughter Skye proves her point in yet

another transaction. Girl Scouts from Albany, Evansville and Brodhead, in three troops Renee leads, have taken on a big cookie benefit sales goal here this year – 13,000 boxes. That’s 1,547 cases of cookies, and 2,000 more boxes than last year. When the huge palettes of cases arrived at Albany Lions Club, it took 7 hours to sort all the boxes by troop orders and table sales. Albany Lions Club lets the local troops of 9 girls across 4 grades in school store their cookies in their building. Other businesses that let

the troops based in Albany sell from their stores include Piggly Wiggly in Evansville, WalMart in Monroe, Lions Quick Mart and Festival Foods in Janesville, Pick and Save stores in Monroe and Janesville. “The girls work in shifts,” Renee said, “and we divide up the boxes sold between them across the shifts, so all achieve the same sales. Some girls have slower times of store sales, and others have busy times. “Parents are required to be with them when they’re selling; we have really good par-

Dan McDermott unpacks more Girl Scout cookies for his daughter Skye to sell at Albany Mini Mart last Friday. Volunteering is a requirement of parents who want to sign their daughters up for troop participation. Tony Ends photos

ent volunteer involvement in our troops,” she said. The bulk of the Albany-based troops, however, are sold doorto-door. “My dad did it with me every night,” said Skye, who sold 2,100 boxes of cookies last year, and is halfway to selling that many again this cookie season. Customers can have cookies they buy sent overseas to those serving in the military or have them donated to a local food pantry. Local Girl Scouts this year plan to use their share of proceeds from selling cookies for a camping trip, possibly also a trip to Washington, D.C. Activities and projects the Girl Scouts undertake aren’t confined to cookie sales, by any means. “We plant flowers in Albany and Evansville. We learned about solar power and built a solar bird bath for Albany’s Prairie Garden. We also made a rain barrel for watering flowers in both Albany and Evansville,” Skye said. Girl Scouts locally are earning their last Journey badges in a project that teaches them to break down stereotypes. They are making skits to perform at the end of the year in a ceremony in June. The troops based in Albany meet at Hilltop Community Church on North Jackson every other Monday from 6 to 8 p.m. You can reach the troop leader at reneegirlsouts@tds. net or 862-3550. More girls are welcome. “We have a law,” Skye said, “We have to be a sister to every Girl Scout,” showing another benefit from joining Girl Scouts.

Local Tornado Spotter Classes to be held in Green County MONROE — Green County Emergency Management has announced that two local tornado spotters’ classes will be held soon. On Wednesday, March 16th at 12:30 p.m., a Basic Tornado Spotter Class will be held at the Monroe Fire Station #1601 W. 17th Street. At 6:30 p.m., another basic spotter class will be held at the Blanchardville Fire Department, 208 Mason Street. These free classes run about two hours and are open to all first responders, as well as the general public. The emphasis this year, along with how to correctly identify a tornado, will be how to communicate to the National Weather Service (NWS) and provide them information on what you are seeing. The NWS can get a better idea of what is happening at your location and our communities. Graduates of this course are not expected to become storm chasers unless they intend to

pursue additional training to do so. Due to limited seating, we are asking that interested parties pre-register for the class by contacting Green County Emergency Management at 608-328-9470. Tim Halbach, Warning Coordination Meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan will be presenting the class. Additional Tornado Spotters’ Classes are also offered throughout Wisconsin. Check the National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan website h t t p : / / w w w. c r h . n o a a . g o v / mkx, under “News Headlines” for dates and locations. Additional resources to help prepare for the storm season can be found at Green County Emergency Management’s website at www.greencountyem.com and on Facebook. Be sure to check these sites in April to enter our contest to win a weather radio!

Sugar River art Green County tractor and machinery safety course scheduled exhibit opening soon By Tony Ends Staff writer

MONROE — Engaging young people in farm production can motivate them for life to serve and protect fertile soil. A tragic accident that kills or maims any youth, however, robs the earth of his or her stewardship and grieves family and community forever. Thousands of young farmers across Wisconsin can credit proper instruction they received with equipping them to safely operate farm machinery and tractors vocationally. An early spring course in tractor and machinery safety certification has been scheduled for youths 12 to 16 years of age. Youths enrolled in the course must turn 12 by the end of the sessions, Thursday, April 21. A first class in the 24 hours of sessions is scheduled Monday, March 14. It will run from 6:30 to 9 p.m. These tractor safety sessions will begin at Hennessey Implement, the former Studer’s Super Service, 18th Avenue and 6th Street. They will continue at Green County’s Justice Center on State Highway 59, just east of Monroe. Wisconsin law forbids anyone from directing or allowing a child under age 16 to operate a farm tractor or self-propelled farming implement on highways. An exception is made for a child certified as having successfully completed a tractor and machinery operation safety course. Federal child labor regulations also hold it unlawful to

hire or even permit without pay any youth under age 16 to take part in any work activities listed as hazardous. Exceptions are made under federal law if a youth is working on a farm owned and operated by his or her parent, or if the youth has a training certificate providing an exemption from hazardous work activities. Tractor safety coursework offered annually around the state provides 24 hours of instruction and training. Participation in all 24 hours is required to obtain certification. A parent or legal guardian must attend the first session with the child. Some sessions will be held outdoors and participants are asked to dress accordingly. Cost for the sessions is $35 for Green County youths, $45 for youths from other counties. Checks for the course should be made payable to the UW-Extension, Green County. Fees cover cost of a safety manual, equipment use, and insurance during the course. Scheduled sessions, with date, time and location follow: -Monday, March 14, 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Hennessey Implement and Green County Justice Center; -Tuesday, March 15, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Albany High School; -Saturday, March 19, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Argyle High School; -Tuesday, March 29, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at New Glarus High

School; -Monday, April 4, 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Merit Center in Monroe; -Saturday, April 9, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Juda Community Center in Juda; -Tuesday, April 19, 4 to 7 p.m. at Green County Fairgrounds in Monroe; -Wednesday, April 20, 4 to 7 p.m. at Green County Fairgrounds in Monroe; -Thursday, April 21, 4 to 7 p.m. at Green County Fairgrounds in Monroe (final drive). This year’s tractor safety certification course is cosponsored in part by UWExtension-Green County and Green County agriculture education instructors from Albany, Argyle, Belleville, Brodhead, Juda, Monroe, Monticello, New Glarus. Blackhawk Technical College, Juda Fire Department, Monroe Fire Department, Green County Farm Bureau, Green and Lafayette county sheriff’s departments are also helping with the courses. Carter & Gruenewald, Eastside Implement, Hennessey Implement and Sloan Implement are co-sponsors of the course with UW Extension’s Center for Agricultural Safety and Health. Individuals can receive more information by calling UW-Extension Green County, 328-9440; or by emailing Ellen Andrews, 4-H Youth Development Educator at ellen.andrews@ces.uwex.edu They may also retrieve information off UW-Extension Green County’s website at http://green.uwex.edu.

Basketball season comes to a close for area schools By Derek Hoesly Correspondent

Juda’s season ends

RIO — The eleven-seed Juda Panthers hung with sixseed Rio but eventually fell 64-57 in a tight WIAA Division 5 regional quarterfinal matchup last Tuesday. The opening 18 minutes were a back and forth battle with Rio taking a narrow 27-21 lead at halftime. Rio came out hot to extend the lead to double-digits early in the second half. Juda’s Derrick Byrne sparked a run that propelled the Panthers into the lead with five minutes remaining in regulation. Rio then sealed the win with free throws down the stretch. Sophomore Keagen Haffele led the Panthers’ offense with 15 points, 11 in the second half. Junior Skyler Stuckey added 12 points, including two three-pointers. Junior Joe Rackow chipped in 10 points. The Panthers’ season record ended at 5-17 overall and 1-11 in Six Rivers eastern division play.

Albany dominates Monticello

ALBANY — The five-seed

Albany boys cruised to a 71-41 win over twelve-seed Monticello in a WIAA Division 5 regional quarterfinal last Tuesday. Albany built an insurmountable 39-11 lead at intermission. The Comets pushed the tempo early. Senior Tyler Dahl led the Comets’ offensive charge with a game-high 33 points, including 22 in the opening 18 minutes. Junior Brock Gilkes added 12 points. As a team, Albany connected on six threes.

Albany runs out of steam

MADISON — After a strong first half, the five-seed Albany boys couldn’t sustain the high level of play. Fourseed Abundant Life Christian/St. Ambrose beat Albany 84-68 in a WIAA division 5 regional semifinal last Friday. Albany played an outstanding opening half, taking a 36-33 lead at intermission. The Comets extended the lead to five midway through the second half. The Challengers exploded on a 29-8 run to close out the game. Senior Tyler Dahl led the Comets’ offense with a gamehigh 30 points. Senior Cole

Trapp added 16 points for the Comets. Junior Connor Trow contributed 10 points for Albany. The Comets end the year at 14-10 overall and 6-6 in Six Rivers eastern division play.

Juda falls to one-seed team

EVANSVILLE — The Juda girls’ successful season ended as one-seed Fall River beat seven-seed Juda 65-36 in a WIAA Division 5 sectional semifinal last Thursday. Late in the opening half, Juda went on a 7-0 run to cut the deficit to 27-18. Junior Chelsea Burkhalter buried a jumper, and junior Riley Adkins drilled a trey. Fall River exploded on a 21-3 run in the second half to surge past the Panthers. Burkhalter led the Panthers with 16 points, 11 in the opening half. Adkins added five points. Junior Alexis Goecks played stellar defense with a team-high three steals. This team was the first to win a regional championship in the history of the girls’ basketball program. Juda ended the year at 15-11 overall and 6-4 in Six Rivers eastern division play.

MONROE — The scenic beauty of the Sugar River Valley will once again be on display at an Opening Reception Friday, March 11th from 5 p.m. to 7. The event is hosted by the Lower Sugar River Watershed Association (LSRWA). The exhibit, “Seasons of the Sugar River – Metamorphosis,” will be on display at the Monroe Arts Center. The public is invited to the Opening Reception to meet artists and enjoy light food offerings from outstanding local restaurants, including Baumgartner’s Cheese Store and Tavern and Pancho and Lefty’s Outlaw Grill. Attendees will have the pleasure of viewing some of the finest art of the region. A Gallery Talk will be featured at 5:30 p.m. in the Frehner Gallery. More than two dozen artists submitted over 50 pieces in this season›s competition. This year›s theme showcases scenes of “metamorphosis” in paintings, drawings, fiber-art, photography, ceramics, and sculpture. This includes any physical or cultural change. Artists created works inspired by the changing forms of the natural world at the scale of organisms and landscapes. Artists also created works inspired by the biological, zoological, seasonal and cultural transformation evidenced in the watershed. The show will encompass the entire Sugar River Watershed from its headwaters in western Dane County to its confluence with the Pecatonica River in Northern Illinois. “This beautiful exhibit vividly captures the ‘sense of place’ that will resonate with all who live in and visit the Sugar River Valley” says artist and LSRWA volunteer Jill Sampson. Sampson is directing the exhibit and fundraiser. “Art and artists help us all appreciate in a new way the natural and cultural treasures that surround us, the places we know and love.” “Ultimately, we hope connecting people with the land through the eyes of artists will inspire renewed passion for protecting and restoring our land and water” Sampson said. “We were thrilled that our past two year’s shows and science exhibits engaged teachers and students in an exploration of art and the environment. And the result, a new focus emerged around the geography and ecology of the watershed they live in.” The Monroe Arts Center, located at 1315 11th Street, will feature the exhibit from March 11 through April 22. The arts center is open from 10

am to 5 pm, Tuesdays through Saturdays. A portion of the proceeds from art sales will be donated to support the work of LSRWA, a local non-profit conservation organization dedicated to the care and enjoyment of our water resources and to raising public awareness of the importance of clean water. An additional highlight of the opening event will be a poster and film exhibit in Wesley Hall showcasing the work of LSRWA Citizen Science volunteers. Meet volunteers and students who are mapping and measuring ecosystem health and water quality throughout the watershed and undertaking ambitious projects to restore their local streams. The Lower Sugar River Watershed Association is a not-for-profit conservation organization based in Brodhead and dedicated to the care and enjoyment of our water resources. The organization seeks to empower citizens with experience and knowledge to steward land and water resources in the lower Sugar River watershed. For more information about the show, contact the Monroe Arts Center (info@monroeartscenter or 608-325-5700) or LSRWA (info@lsrwa.org).

of Sunday’s empty tomb, including the hopelessness and grief between. On Sundays, March 13th and 20th, at 1:30 p.m., the Juda-Zion UMC will celebrate Jesus’s resurrection as the conquering of death. There is no admission charge to the event, but a free-will offering may be left after the performance. Refreshments will follow in the Fellowship Hall.

Girls’ Basketball Juda’s varsity girls are Regional Champions! The girls started off by winning against Randolph 54-43 on Randolph’s home court. Junior Chelsea Burkhalter scored a game-high 18 points. Senior Jessica Crull and sophomore Hailey Kammerer each added 7 points. Juda coach Curt Brown said, “Honestly, it was big to go there and play in front of that crowd and win. We won it defensively. It was our best team effort. The girls believed going in that they could win. When it’s the playoffs, you only have to win once.” The Lady Panthers won against Hustisford 51-48 for the regional championship at Hustisford. Junior Chelsea Burkhalter knocked down seven 3-pointers and scored a gamehigh 28 points. Sophomore Mackenzie Byrne added 10 points, and sophomore Hailey Kammerer scored nine points. Coach Brown said, “It’s the first regional title for boys’ or girls’ basketball in Juda history. It says a lot about our team. We were not intimidated. We went in as a number 7 seed, and we knew we would play teams that we have never seen before and they wouldn’t know us as much.” The girls traveled to Evansville and took on Fall River on Thursday, March 3, for the Division 5 sectional semifinal. After a tough battle, the girls lost to Fall River 65-36. Junior Chelsea Burkhalter scored 16 points. Congratulations to both the JV and varsity teams on a great season!

Albany’s middle school students get the Ellis Island experience ALBANY — Seventh and eighth-grade students learned firsthand what it would have felt like to be an immigrant to the United States 1880 and 1920. During the project, students used interactive technology to learn about different aspects of the immigration process. Students also took part in classroom discussions and viewed primary documents and videos to explore the difficulties of immigration. Students learned about ship life and conditions, family separations, differences between how the rich and poor traveled, the few belongings immigrants were able to bring with them, tenement life, and procedures including the documentation of arriving at Ellis Island. The work culminated in a “real-life” enactment of Ellis Island on Thursday, Feb. 25th at the Albany Lion’s Club. Several local community volunteers partnered with Albany

school staff members to create this experience. Each student was assigned a name, a family, a wealth status and a health status. Community volunteers and school staff members took on the roles of ship captains and Ellis Island inspectors as students took the long journey across the ocean on ships (students walked for 45 minutes with their families and carrying their belongings). The students arrived at Ellis Island only to be interrogated by immigration inspection officers for proper documentation. They endured several checkpoints for health inspections, intelligence tests, and legal inspections to ensure that they were fit for citizenship. The objective of the unit was to help students realize the importance of what immigrants went through just to enter the Unites States and create new lives. In class discussions, students noted their family heri-

IRS reports surge in email schemes during 2016 tax season

WASHINGTON — Internal Revenue Service staff have renewed a consumer e-mail schemes alert after seeing an a 400 percent surge in phishing and malware incidents. The emails are designed to trick taxpayers into thinking these are official communicaor2”others 3.5” x xtions 2” from the IRS in the tax industry, including

were 1,026 incidents reported in January, up from 254 from a year earlier. This trend continued in February, nearly doubling the reported number of incidents compared to a year ago. In all, 363 incidents were reported from Feb. 1 to 16, compared to the 201 incidents reported for the entire month of February 2015. This year’s 1,389 incidents have already topped the 2014 yearly total of 1,361. They are halfway to matching the 2015 total of 2,748. “While more attention has focused on the continuing IRS phone scams, we are deeply worried this increase in email schemes threatens more taxpayers,” Koskinen said. “We continue to work cooperatively with our partners on this issue. “We’ve taken steps to strengthen our processing systems and fraud filters to watch for scam artists trying to use stolen information to file bogus tax returns.” As the email scams increase, the IRS is working on this issue through the Security Summit initiative with state revenue departments and the tax industry.

es, and the communications are being reported in every section of the country, the IRS reported in a release last week. “This dramatic jump in these scams comes at the busiest time of tax season,” said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. “Watch out for fraudsters slipping these official-looking emails into inboxes, trying to confuse people at the very time they work on their taxes. We urge people not to click on these emails.” This tax season the IRS has observed fraudsters more frequently asking for personal tax information, which could be used to help file false tax returns. When people click on these email links, they are taken to sites designed to imitate an official-looking website, such as IRS.gov. The sites ask for Social Security numbers and other personal information. The sites also may carry malware, which can infect people’s computers and allow criminals to access files or track keystrokes to gain information. The IRS has seen an increase in reported phishing and malware schemes. There

companies, tax professionals and state revenue departments have seen variations in the schemes. For example, tax professionals are also reporting phishing scams that are seeking their online credentials to IRS services, for example the IRS Tax Professional PTIN System. Tax professionals are also reporting that many of their clients are seeing the e-mail schemes. As part of the effort to protect taxpayers, the IRS has teamed up with state revenue departments and the tax industry to make sure taxpayers understand the dangers to their personal and financial data as part of the “Taxes. Security. Together” campaign. If a taxpayer receives an unsolicited email that appears to be from either the IRS e-services portal or an organization closely linked to the IRS, report it by sending it to phishing@irs.gov. Learn more by going to the Report Phishing and Online Scams page. The IRS generally does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information. This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS has information online that can help protect taxpayers from email scams.

Village taps long-time sergeant to replace retiring police chief By Tony Ends Editor and Staff Writer

ALBANY — Village residents won’t have to get accustomed to an entirely new police chief on Bob Levitt’s retirement April 1. A personnel committee on Feb. 29 offered the position to Sgt. Jim Placek, who joined Albany Police Department as a full-time officer in January 2000. He was promoted to sergeant in 2004, and the village will hold a swearing in ceremony to install him as chief on

for presents at Christmas. Albany police have played important roles in the village’s Tub Run held in June and Yesteryear Weekend and Street Dance, held the Friday before Memorial Day. “I’m willing to work closely with members of the community to continue success of these village events,” Placek said. “Right now I’m doing some job shadowing with Chief Levitt over the next month. “It’s a refresher in the weekly, monthly, yearly responsibili-

Monday, March 14. “I’m excited and really looking forward to serving Albany as chief,” Placek said in an interview last Friday. “I’d really like to push community-oriented policing to an even greater degree, using relationships we’ve already developed with people here,” he said. Popular community-oriented police programs in Albany have included Shop with a Cop, which helps children who need school supplies the start of each school year, and takes them shopping

ties. There is a lot of paperwork – reports, municipal court, memos, emails – a lot of office work.” Originally from Milwaukee, Placek moved to Green County in 1992, working for the Huber Brewery until 1996. He attended the law enforcement academy at Blackhawk Technical College from 1997 to 1998. He also achieved a police associate’s degree from BTC in 1998. He worked for the Monticello Police Department and began working on a bachelor’s degree in public administration at Upper Iowa University. He completed that coursework and graduated in 2007.

The Albany department has had two full-time sergeants, including Sgt. Robert Ritter, and six part-time officers. Part-time officers are used to fill in periodically for full-time officers and to work special events. Placek has already served Albany as officer-in-charge whenever Levitt was absent, taking vacation for instance, or attending obligations for policerelated duties. As police sergeant, Placek also had training and supervisory responsibilities. He and his wife have two girls, ages 23 and 16. The public is invited to Placek’s installation and a reception.

The Cat in the Hat visits Parkview Elementary On Wednesday, March 2, in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, the Cat in the Hat visited Parkview Elementary School (PES). The Cat spent about 25 minutes in each classroom reading to either a class or a combination of two classes. In some cases, the class chose a story ahead of time; in others, the Cat told his own story. Each student also received a “Reading is My Thing” spirit stick. Every classroom embraced the Cat’s visit, and he proved that reading is fun. The Cat in the Hat was retired educator Wayne Vanderploeg from Randolph, Wisc. He is the father of PES teacher Nikki Lutzke.

Troop 101 collects military care packages MONROE — Over the past couple of weeks, Monroe Boy Scout Troop 101 has been collecting items for military care packages to be sent to our service personnel overseas. The boys collected over 200 items and wrote letters to the soldiers thanking them for their commitment and service to our country. On Monday, Feb. 29th, the troop gathered at the Armory,

where they assembled the packages and met with three local soldiers from the Wisconsin Army National Guard. These servicemen shared their experiences and gave the Scouts valuable insight into their work. The Troop is now gearing up for their annual Baked Potato/ Taco Dinner and Silent Auction Fundraiser, which will be held on Monday, April 18th at the Monroe Moose Lodge. Courtesy photo

Troop 101 built care packages and discussed their mission with two servicemen last Monday, Feb. 29th.

Pastor’s Corner Rev. Krystal Goodger Brodhead United Methodist Church

We are now in our 4th week of Lent. One aspect of Lent is to give up something. People give up meat, sweets, soda etc. What did you give up? More importantly, what good thing are you gaining to replace it? This week in our 40 Day Challenge: 40 Days to a Healthier Heart, we discussion going from jealousy to empowerment. Last week we worked on our pride, realizing that we do not live in isolation. Jealousy is a cousin to pride. Where pride is all about me and what I want and need, jealousy is more about being

upset over what another person is and has. When you look in a mirror, what do you see? Make a list. Do you see beauty, confidence, and a pleasant personality? Do you see drive, passion, and talent? Or when you make your list, do you see the opposite of these traits? Often, the face that we show the world is not how we truly feel. We portray a well puttogether person, but underneath, we are falling apart. We may not like what we see or feel. This in itself is a problem and should be addressed. If this is you, take time this week to talk about it with someone (a parent, friend, pastor, or counselor).

When we do not feel great about ourselves or wish we had a trait that we lack, jealousy can take hold. We look at our friend, neighbor, or coworker and see those missing traits. We see beauty, confidence, and talent. This often leads us to look down on ourselves for not having those characteristics. Then we become jealous of that person. Of whom are you jealous? What qualities do they have that you desire? Jealousy in the Bible is a sin. We find it in the Ten Commandments: Do not covet. As a society, we’ve taken jealousy one step further. Now instead of just wanting what our

friends have, we take it from them, either physically or figuratively. We understand what stealing is; it’s taking something that isn’t ours. But we steal in another sense when we are jealous. We steal drive and enthusiasm. When someone has a trait or item that we want, we knock him or her down. We tell this person that they the item is not very good. We tell him that he is not good. We demean her (intentionally or unintentionally). We tear her down. My sermon last Sunday circled around the fact that tearing down another person does not build you up any higher. Degrading or belittling another person’s attri-

butes or objects does not mean you acquire them. It just brings everyone to a lower level. This week, I challenge you to work on your jealousy. Of whom are you jealous? Of what are you jealous? Then make a list of all of the things you have (a house, car, friends, family, pets, job, plus your good qualities). Take the week to look at what you have and be grateful. Let’s also stay away from focusing on what other people have. So how about taking a Facebook-free day?! Free yourself from wanting what others have. Eliminate the compulsion to tear others down to build yourself up. Be grateful today.

The banks will be seeded with native species and mulched at the end of each section of work. The Department will review the proposal provided by the applicant and any information from public comments and the public informational hearing. The Department will determine whether the proposal complies with ss. 1.11 and 30.12(3m), Stats., and ch. NR 150, Wis. Adm.
