Annual event charts sunny new course on county-line farm

BRODHEAD — Tour the Farm Day is changed this year, featuring solar energy uses, alternative farm and income ideas, and May Day fun at one location. Nine area producers and four organizations will come to Scotch Hill Farm on Sunday, May 1, to take part in the free educational and family event. Solar food drying, which hosts Dela and Tony Ends have been teaching on Farmer to Farmer volunteer assignments in Africa, is just one of the scheduled offerings. The event runs from 1 to 4 p.m. at 910 Scotch Hill Road, about 3 miles northeast of Brodhead in Rock County. Midwest Renewable Energy Association and North Wind Renewable Energy of Stevens Point will table information, featuring solar energy installation ideas. North Wind, an associate Wisconsin Farmers Union member, has been a solar installer in Wisconsin since 2007. To date, it has installed nearly 200 solar electric systems in Wisconsin, approaching 2 megawatts of capacity. “We’re grateful the Brodhead Chamber of Commerce started Tour the Farm Day 8 years ago,” said Dela Ends, who shared organic vegetable crop production information annually in the tour. “It’s gratifying to see the event

this year find new direction, drawing in so many new family producers from Green and neighboring counties,” she said. “We want it to be a fun way for everyone to share what they do in their small farms and businesses with the public.” Tour the Farm Day previously included a variety of farms in a circuit around the city. Wisconsin Farmers Union’s new South Central Chapter has picked up and greatly enlarged the event, with the Ends family hosting in one location. Producers in the chapter will share information on a variety of small business, farm-related and entrepreneurial topics. Families and children are welcomed. They’ll connect with WFU members making products in their own food shed. Jams, jellies, canned goods, maple syrup, meats, wool, eggs, spring greens, milk soap, beaded jewelry, alpaca products – all produced locally -- are on the May Day agenda at Scotch Hill. Coffee roasting and spinning demonstrations are planned, in addition to solar drying and the preserving of vegetables and fruits. Anna Landmark will attend with her award-winning specialty cheeses. Admission is free. The first 20 people attending will receive a free copy of “Renewing the Countryside Wisconsin,” a book that sells for $26.95.

Ends will talk to the public about drying fruits and vegetables with the sun during a May Day Faire that he and Dela Ends are hosting with nine other area producers and four organizations Sunday, May 1, at Scotch Hill Farm northeast of Brodhead.

In an English tradition, a ploughman’s lunch, in addition to May Pole activities for children, is planned. Donations for the lunch will benefit the chapter activities. A cookie bar benefit sale will promote local WFU advocacy for cooperative and rural development. A bill before the state

Legislature would legalize home and farmstead baked goods sales in direct transactions on a small scale. An earlier bill on home canning and pickle making and sales was enacted into state law with WFU support three years ago. Educational books, including cooking and preserving foods,

are on sale at the May 1 event. Lower Sugar River Watershed and Green County Defending our Farmland will be on hand May 1 at Scotch Hill. They’ll inform the public about their work conserving and protecting local resources.

the Bank of Brodhead’s courtesy room. The students took a map of Decatur Lake and employed sophisticated hydrologic modeling software to study how a series of wing dams could improve the navigability of the lake and potentially improve fish habitat in the area. The students will discuss how the plan could be implemented, including permitting requirements and the cost involved to complete the project. A preliminary showing at midterm a month ago was fascinating. Using a computer program called HECRAS, the students projected a map of Decatur Lake on a screen and showed the present water flow and how the effect of properly configured wing dams could deepen the lake for improved navigability. The wing dams would be made of natural materials similar to a fish crib, which would provide the added benefit of improving fish habitat. If you like to paddle or fish this waterway, or just love the lake in general, this presentation is a ‘must see’. Also, at the meeting, DLMRA Treasurer Jaine Winters will

discuss how the finance committee will be applying for a Lake Planning Grant from the Wisconsin DNR. If awarded, the grant will be used to employ a professional engineering firm to devise a plan to make the lake improvement a reality. The UW-Platteville Lake Improvement plan may be incorporated into the overall solution. Another presentation at the meeting will be about another exciting DLMRA project underway: the plans for creating the Sugar River Canoe and Kayak Trail. This paddling trail will extend from Belleville to where the Sugar River empties into the Pecatonica River in Harrison, Ill. The trail will consist of a series of Google map signs at public boat landings along the river and will describe the approximate river miles, the time for travel, general conditions for that section of the trail, and services at that landing. In conjunction with the signs will be a Google maps application that can be pulled up on a computer or cell phone. It describes each section of the river and can be used for planning purposes. All of these improvements could prove to be a boon to our community, both economically and environmentally. This meeting is open to the general public. Member or not, if you love the lake, be sure to come to DLMRA annual meeting on Saturday, April 30, to learn more about these exciting developments that will be happening in our own local waterways.

Hometown Drug Scripts FRUIT LOWERS ANEURYSM RISK

An 80,000-person, 13-year study found that people who ate two servings or more of fruit daily had a 25% lower risk of developing an abdominal aortic aneurysm. This condition is a bulge, like a ballooning weak spot, in the body’s largest artery. If it ruptures, it is often fatal. Those who had the condition but also ate two servings of fruit daily had a 43% lower risk of the aneurysm rupturing. Researchers speculated that the antioxidants in the fruit reduced inflammation. Interestingly, while dietary vegetables are important to health, fruit has different antioxidants, which had a much more profound connection to this condition.

Juda senior signs Letter of Intent with UW-Parkside By Siara Schwartzlow Editor

JUDA — Senior Jessica Crull signed a Letter of Intent to play softball with UW-Parkside last Thursday, April 21. Crull, catcher and third-baseman, has been playing softball for roughly ten years. Her success has drawn the attention of representatives from numerous schools. Of them, UW-Parkside fit Crull’s desires best. “I always told myself to pick a school that I love and that I’ll love for all 4 years,” she said. “I liked the coaching staff [at Parkside], and I liked how they were new coaches working to build the program. I also like that it is

a small school and where it was geographically located.” The decision was not easy, though, as many schools were interested. “Other options were UWLacrosse, UW-Whitewater, University of Dubuque, Upper Iowa University, Kishwaukee Community College and Madison College,” she said. At Parkside, Crull plans to major in Sports Management. “I know I want to work with the Play 60 program and inspire younger children about sports and agriculture,” she said. Now, Crull is at a crossroad. She is looking forward to her college career, but she is reflecting fondly on her memories as a

youth player. One of her fondest memories is of making it to State. The details are still fresh for her. “The game was actually pushed back a day because of rain,” she said. “We were tied 3-3 in the 7th inning. Oakfield scored three runs in the 8th inning, and I hit a home run. The final score was 6-4.” Her years as a player have prepared Crull for a future with the sport, but those years have also prepared her to be a mentor to younger athletes looking to following in her footsteps. “Always work hard while following your dreams,” she said, “and be thankful for the ones that help you through your journey.”

Panthers take advantage of speed and opponent error for the win By Derek Hoesly Correspondent

Juda-Albany used their speed to take a 3-1 lead in the bottom half of the inning. Junior Chelsea Burkhaulter had a one-out triple down the right field line. After an infield fly, junior Alexis Goecks drew a walk to put runners on the corners with two outs. Goecks then took off for second, and a bad throw allowed Burkhaulter to

Albany fends off Barneveld for the win By Ciara Kaderly and Travis Oliver

ALBANY — On Friday, April 15, the Albany Comets played their first home game of the season. In the first game of the double header, Albany defeated the River Ridge Wolves with a final score of 8-5. The Comets also won the second game by a score of 16-9 in front of a big crowd. “The community support was huge,” Albany assistant coach Brian Adams said. “I’ve never seen that big of a crowd in such a small town.” Pitching for the Albany Comets during the first game were juniors, Brock Gilkes, who pitched six innings, and Travis Oliver, who pitched the final inning. Cole Trapp also had a big impact on the victories. Trapp hit a grand slam in game one and a two-run homerun in game two. Coach Adams was proud of how the team responded with their play as uncertainty surrounded the future of Albany baseball. “Winning these past two

games could be a step forward for the Albany Baseball Program,” Adams said. “It shows that we are capable of being our own team.”

Dahl stole home plate and gave the Comets a three-run cushion. Barneveld did answer back with a solo home run in the 7th inning but could not catch the Comets. Albany won 3-1, their first win against Barneveld since 2005.

Paige Valley, left, and Olivia Paulson, right, will be competing in the Modern Woodmen contest at the state level next month.

Two Parkview students to compete at state Modern Woodmen contest ORFORDVILLE — Parkview Elementary School had four contestants in the District Modern Woodmen contest held Monday, April 11 in Janesville. The top three competitors are advancing to the State Competition to be held in Kenosha in May. Parkview students took first and third place. Olivia Paulson placed first, earning a trophy and a fifty-dollar prize. Paige Valley placed third and received a trophy. This year’s topic was hunger in America. All of the students cited many statistics and causes for hunger in our country. It was a very eye-opening experience to hear the speeches.

Parkview fifth- and sixthgrade students all take part in the contest at the school level with every student preparing and presenting a speech. The top three from each classroom then compete at school to determine who will represent the school in the district contest. In addition to Olivia and Paige, Cally Burrell and Jenna Olin also represented Parkview at the District Contest. The students learn to research a topic, craft a speech and present it in front of their peers and judges. Sixth-grade teacher Katherine Swain has been coordinating the speech contest at Parkview for the past thirty years.

Ainsley Krueger, Hailey Stefanik, Kirsten Oliver, Brittany Janes represented Albany at the bi-annual personal development conference last month.

Students attend 212º FFA conference ALBANY — FFA Members ship skills and focus on who they attend the FFA 212º Conference last month. Brittany Janes, Hailey Stefanik, Ainsley Krueger, and Kirsten Oliver of the Albany FFA Chapter attended the National FFA Organization’s 212º Conference at the Hyatt on Main and the KI Convention Center in Green Bay on March 18th and 19th. Over 230 FFA members and advisors from around the state of Wisconsin participated in this national personal development conference held bi-annually in Wisconsin. The 212º Conference is a twoday personal development seminar designed for high school freshmen and sophomores involved in the FFA organization. The 212° Conference will focus on taking students to the boiling point of leadership, as 212 degrees is the temperature at which water boils. At 211 degrees, water is extremely hot,

but just one more degree gets us to the next level. These conferences also focus on student development. “This conference created an environment to get everyone involved and take us outside of our comfort zone,” said Brittany Janes, FFA member. Themes for this conference include virtues and growth. “FFA’s personal development conferences are an exceptional opportunity for FFA members to participate in a national conference without leaving their home state,” said Cheryl Zimmerman, State FFA Executive Director. “These conferences bring out the very best in students and advisors who participate. It really helps the students focus on who they are and what they can become.” Leadership development is a key focus in the National FFA Organization. Helping FFA members develop their leader-

are and what they can become is key to the mission of the FFA Organization. Members start at the local chapter level in their home high schools and can become active at both the state and national levels. Students in rural, suburban, and urban schools all can benefit from the programs offered through agricultural education. The FFA is a key component of agricultural education and helps the students to develop leadership skills through handson and real-life experiences. Conference staff members are college students who are former state or national FFA officers. Many staff members have also worked as counselors for the Washington Leadership Conference, FFA’s national leadership seminar held in Washington, D.C. each summer. Premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education is the mission of the National FFA Organization, and the 212º Conference is only one of the many opportunities that the FFA organization offers its members to develop lifetime leadership skills. The Wisconsin Association of FFA is comprised of 250 local chapters preparing over 20,000 students in high school and junior high for careers in agriculture. FFA is making a positive difference in the lives of young people, today and in the future. If you are interested in having your student join the FFA, contact your local agricultural education instructor at your high school.

Fun tips from the delivery guy By Siara Schwartzlow Editor

With spring comes renewal, and with renewal comes an aching itch to change up the interior of your home. If you’re thinking of ordering new appliances, consider the delivery process from the perspective of the delivery person. Those who have never stepped into a stranger’s home heaving over an oversized cardboard box or a refrigerator whose doors would love to swing open if not for those pesky straps may not have considered the ins-and-outs of delivering. Kyle Miller delivered appliances for four years, and he has worked his way into a management position in which he now leads teams of delivery people. During the more than 20,000 deliveries Miller completed, he developed the following tips: Measurements Measure, measure, measure. This seems to be one thing that people don’t think to do. Notice whether you have baseboards that will affect the measurement. Check the height. Are there cabinets above? Will your new appliance fit underneath them? Nothing is more frustrating than having your heart set on a certain refrigerator and not being able to have it because it will not fit in the space provided. A typical refrigerator bows out due to the installation being blown in about a quarter inch on either side. This goes

beyond what the dimensions online or the box says. Walk the path Regardless of where the appliances are going, we use the front door because in most homes, it’s the biggest entrance. Even if the refrigerator is right off the garage entry, the front door is the way to go. This will lessen the likelihood of damaging your brand, spanking new appliances and your home. When you walk the path, take note that there has to be room to walk through. Remember, there will be an appliance plus one or two adults moving through. Does the entertainment center need to be moved? What about the couch? These are all things that need to be thought out ahead of time. Also, if you are expecting a refrigerator make sure it is empty prior to our arrival. Waiting for homeowners to unload last week’s leftovers and the frozen pizza that’s sat in the freezer for three years isn’t pretty. Fuel type With dryers, it is not always apparent what type of fuel you need. Just because the dryer “plugs in” doesn’t mean it is electric. If the dryer plug looks no different than a lamp plug, it is probably gas. Electric dryers have a much bigger plug. LP? If you live out in the country, you might have LP gas. For both ranges and dryers this requires an LP conver-

Parkview FFA Alumni hold cheese curd and flower sale ORFORDVILLE — On Saturday, May 7th, the Parkview FFA Alumni will be selling flowers, vegetable plants, and hanging baskets during the Orfordville Rummage Sale Days. The group is offering plants of exceptional quality. The plants, including geraniums, will be from Ahrens’ Acres. Come early, as the plants and flowers sold out last year. The sale will be held at 413 E. Beloit Street. New this year will be a cheese curd sale. Cheese curds from Decatur Dairy will be for sale at the Orfordville Farmers Market across from 303 E. Beloit Street during the rummage sales. Parkview FFA Alumni is excited to be able to sell local agricultural products.

Stop by and support the FFA Alumni. All proceeds will go to assist the Parkview FFA members and programs. Parkview FFA Alumni meet the first Monday of every month at 7 p.m. in the Agriculture room at Parkview High School. New members are welcomed.

sion kit that almost all delivery teams cannot install for you. This requires a licensed plumber. Or you can do it yourself, but a plumber is the safer bet. Keep an eye on Roofus Regardless of whether Fifi has never bitten anyone before, our team doesn’t want to be the first to be bitten. I have been bitten twice, and my groans have been met with, “Oh my goodness! She has never done that before.” Please put all pets away. You wouldn’t want to worry whether one of your 12 cats got out. Plus, we might trip or step on your dog. Delivery guidelines Most major stores have a set of guidelines that are supposed to be given out at the point of sale. These are lists of things that the delivery guys can and cannot do. Some of the things we cannot do are: installing dishwashers, micro-hoods, cook tops or any sort of water heater or softener. The salesperson is supposed to give these out to ensure a smooth delivery and installation process. If the salesperson does not give them to you, ask. Inside will be everything you need to know about what to expect. Make sure any appliances you purchase are right for you. Don’t be bullied into something that “you hope fits” or has more bells and whistles than what you really need. Just because the newest freezer model will play “Ice, Ice Baby” when your ice cubes are ready doesn’t make it a necessity. And having a builtin, digital photo album on the front of your refrigerator seems like a cool idea, but, well, you know. Refrigerators keep things cool, and washers and dryers wash and dry. A new appliance accounts for the third-biggest purchase any one will make in their lifetime. Take your time. Do your research. Did you tip the delivery guy? Perhaps you’ve heard the 200912

phrase, “Tipping is not just a city in China.” The teams who deliver don’t make a killing and work hard to provide a service.

You tip the pizza guy, and he just brings a small box to your door. Remember that a delivery fee is not something delivery guys ever see. 114527

DNR marks ‘Wildfire Prevention Week’ with real-time fire tracking WOODRUFF — Warm winds fanning Wisconsin’s dry and dead vegetation is expected to increase fire risk statewide in late April. The Department of Natural Resources forest protection experts will launch a new “live status wildfire occurrence” web page to keep the public informed. Catherine Koele, DNR wildfire prevention specialist, said due to rapid spring changes in vegetation and weather conditions, Wisconsin’s wildfire season is projected to pick up in late April. Last week, April 17th through the 23rd, was Wildfire Prevention Week. “Wildfire prevention week could not have landed on the calendar at a better time for us this year,” Koele said. “With all the precipitation we’ve had around the state in early April, we thought we might have a relatively short fire season before things green-up. It’s amazing how quickly the conditions can change.” The rapid evolution of outdoor conditions into fire weather is what Koele says is the purpose of Wildfire Prevention Week. “The focus is on fire weather awareness. Weather has a direct correlation to fire occurrence,” she said. “The key elements that determine fire starts and how intense a fire will burn are wind, temperature, relative humidity, and moisture levels in the vegetation.” On average, Wisconsin has more than 4,000 wildfires every year statewide. The majority of wildfires in Wisconsin occur from March through May. Shortly after

the snow disappears, a dry spring or even a few days in between rain can leave grasses, pine needles and leaf litter very dry, creating hazardous conditions. Every fire that occurs on land under DNR jurisdiction is tracked and will be posted for the first time this year on the new, online, live-status wildfire occurrence web page. The page will include “things like location, report time, fire cause, weather conditions, suppression resources, structures threatened or lost,” Koele said. “Essentially, everything that goes into our fire reporting system, which helps us monitor data for current and historical trends.” The new real-time fire webpage displays a dot point with the estimated fire location, along with preliminary fire cause, acres burned, and structures threatened. The page is constantly updated as resources are dispatched to the fire and the fire fighters are updating dispatch. This will continue until a fire is out. If a fire is under investigation, the fire report could be pending for days, even weeks as investigators gather information and make a determination. Koele said it is common for the public to associate wildfires with the western part of the country. The difference between western wildfires and Wisconsin’s are in size. Most Wisconsin wildfires are 1 to 2 acres because of rapid initial attack by fire department and DNR resources,

DNR to continue suspending burning permits STATELINE — Wisconsin is moving into a dry weather pattern, resulting in a widespread elevated fire danger, hovering around high to very high in much of the state.

along with good access to most initiating fires. “This can be credited to the training of Wisconsin’s fire fighters, who bring rapid response and skill to the scene, as well as being based in strategic locations adjacent to the wildland,” Koele said. The DNR’s goal is to respond to wildfires in less than 30 minutes from the time the fire is reported. The DNR’s average response time is less than 15 minutes with support from local fire departments. Wildfire Prevention Week is a good reminder to the public that a wildfire can happen to anyone. “Wildfires do not discriminate. It happens to wellintended people who just weren’t aware of the conditions or who neglected to take proper care in preparing for their burn,” Koele said. “The simplest way to prevent a wildfire is to avoid burning.” Failing to obtain proper burn permits or follow the rules on the permit may result in a citation. Anyone found responsible for starting a wildfire is liable for all suppression costs and potentially any damages. With the recent elevated fire risk, fire reports indicate a jump in fire activity over the weekend, placing the 2016 total at 231 fires, burning 240 acres. The top cause continues to be debris burning. To view the new current fire activity, fire restrictions, or fire danger page, search the DNR website.

66284

To help protect citizens from wildfires, the Wisconsin DNR will continue to suspend burning permits for debris burning on days when fire danger is elevated. The DNR will also ask the public to be especially careful with activities or items that could potentially lead to a wildfire, such as campfires, grills, smoking, chain saws, off-road vehicles or other small engines have the potential to ignite a dangerous and destructive fire. Please continue to visit our Fire Danger webpage, which is updated daily at 11 a.m., for current conditions in your market.

Siara Schwartzlow photo

One sure sign of spring is the blooming of daffodils, also called the narcissus flower. Its namesake is Narcissus, a character from Greek mythology who was cursed with an undying love for himself as a punishment for his conceitedness. The myth tells that Narcissus wasted away gazing at himself in a pond, and in the place of his body grew a narcissus flower.

NATIONWIDE — The Arbor Day Foundation is offering a handy tree-care booklet designed to help people plant and care for trees. Anyone can receive Conservation Trees, a user-friendly booklet featuring illustrations, colorful photos, and simple descriptions, by making a $3 donation to the Arbor Day Foundation this month. “Conservation Trees is an ideal resource for tree planters,” said Matt Harris, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Taking care of existing trees is just as critical as planting new ones, and proper care ensures communities are able to fully enjoy the diverse benefits of urban forestry.” The booklet provides details about the right way to plant and prune trees. It also includes tips on using shade trees and windbreaks to save on energy costs, attract songbirds, and create a living snow fence. To receive the Conservation Trees booklet, send a $3 check along with your name and address to Conservation Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410, or order online at arborday.org/conservationtrees. Founded in 1972, the Arbor Day Founda-

tion has grown to become the largest nonprofit membership organization dedicated to planting trees, with more than 1 million members, supporters, and valued partners. During the past 44 years, more than 250 million Arbor Day Foundation trees have been planted in neighborhoods, communities, cities, and forests throughout the world. Our goal is to help others understand that trees are a solution to many of the global issues we face today, including air quality, water quality, climate change, deforestation, poverty, and hunger. As one of the world’s largest operating conservation foundations, the Arbor Day Foundation, through its members, partners, and programs, educates and engages stakeholders and communities across the globe to involve themselves in its mission of planting, nurturing, and celebrating trees. As the foundation embarks on the next decade, its vision remains the same — to continue to share, advance, and educate the world on emerging solutions to environmental, health, and human services concerns through its networks and programs. More information is available at arborday.org.

Governor proclaims Emu Week in May MADISON — Governor Scott Walker joined other state governors across the United States by signing a proclamation declaring May 7-15 as Emu Week. The American Emu Association sponsors National Emu Week (N.E.W.) each year to educate the public about the emu industry and the products derived from this farm animal. Local emu farmer and Wisconsin Emu Association president, Joylene Reavis, of Sugar maple Emu Farm in Brodhead, sees the proclamation as a sign of affirmation for agri-

culture. “It is encouraging to see positive support for our industry coming from the Governor’s office,” she says. These nine days in May will be a busy time for Reavis and other emu growers throughout the country. Reavis raised birds standing five-and-a-half feet tall for 21 years. She says that while the bird is originally from Australia, it is being raised here in the United States for the lean red meat and co-products such as leather, oil, and feathers. Like many other AEA members, Sugar Maple

Emu Farm will be celebrating National Emu Week.

Becker went out and had a key shutdown inning in the top of the fourth to keep the momentum on the Panthers’ side. Sophomore Haley Frietag ripped a base hit, and McDermotte followed with a ringing double to center field to open the bottom of the fifth. Adkins then worked a base-on-balls to

Jordan ended the game with an RBI single to left field to put the Panthers up 11-1. Becker got the win, going five innings and giving up two hits, two walks, six strikeouts, and one earned run. Goecks led the Panthers’ offensive attack, going 1-for-2 and getting two walks and an RBI out of the leadoff spot. Jordan went 2-for-4 with two RBIs.

Students and teachers celebrate National Kindergarten Day By Brittany Janes Correspondent

ALBANY — On Thursday, April 21, Albany Schools celebrated National Kindergarten Day. No celebration would be complete without a special lunch, featuring dinosaur chicken nuggets, smiley face fries, dirt cups, and kiwi slices. The lunch was enjoyed by all; even some of the teachers decided to get lunch and join in on the fun. The kids were clearly excited. Some were overheard saying, “This was the best lunch ever!” Although National Kindergarten Day is observed annually on April 21, this is the first year Albany has decided to partake in the celebration. The day was originally meant to honor Friedrich Wilhelm

August Frobel, who was given credit for starting the very first kindergarten. The first kindergarten was developed in Blankenburg, Germany in 1837, to allow children to have an easier transition from home to school. The Prussian government eventually banned his methods, claiming them to be unorthodox, but the rest of the world was open to the new idea of kindergarten. The first official kindergarten was founded in 1856 in Watertown, Wisconsin by Magarethe Schurz. This kindergarten was taught in German but soon found its way into private, English-speaking institutions across the nation. In 1873, kindergarten finally Brittany Janes photo became a part of public school As part of the National Kindergarten Day celebration, students enjoy a special lunch, complete with dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets. systems.

Albany students present their space tourism business models to guest “investors” last Tuesday.

Students propose space tours and advertisement, create a 3D model of their transport vessel, complete a business plan, and present this information to potential “investors.” On Tuesday, April 19, students showcased their work to our two guest “investors.” Our guests were Cathy Burgweger, a local business owner with experience in the corporate world, and Rosalyn Pertzborn, from the Space Science and Engineering Center at UW-Madison. Both were on hand to give the students feedback. Students were asked very important questions about their

companies. They were also given feedback about their proposals and presentation skills. At the end of the presentations, students were treated to some souvenirs related to space. We would like to thank our guests for taking the time to come and share their expertise. The feedback they gave will help the kids for their entire lifetimes. Also, the kids did a wonderful job, and our guests were impressed.

ALBANY — Students in grades five and six have spent the past few weeks learning about the solar system. During the first week, students listened to background notes about the solar system. That was followed by another week of research about an object in space that they would like to visit. The students then worked in collaborative groups to plan a space tourism company that would visit all of the places they researched. Groups were required to come up with a company name, logo

ALBANY — Matt Figi presented a slide show of “Old Monroe Areas” at the April 19th Albany Historical Society meeting. Figi’s slides were from his soon-to-be-published book, Monroe, Wisconsin Area Pictorial History, which boasts 260 pictures of the Monroe area. Fifteen people attended the meeting. Admission was free. He began with some general pictures of the square. There was a 1970s view of the square and a 1914 picture of the building that housed the clinic, as well as pictures of Cheese Days 1916, the inside of the Hosley & Grinnell grocery store and the United States House, and a hotel in the 1950s. There were pictures of old automobiles and horses. Pho-

tos from the square showed the racket store, the inside of Buri Electric, the lot on which the telephone company was built, and the public library. Additionally, there was a picture of a beekeeper next to Ludlow stables, a picture of the barren area where Burger King is now and a picture of Figi’s relatives, a group of women standing by a log cabin in the 1900s. Photos from the area outside of town showed a barn raising on the George Bidlingmaier farm. The barn is still standing. Matt Figi will be presenting his slides on Monday, May 9th at 1:30 p.m. at the Behring Senior Center, Wednesday, May 11th at 7 p.m. at the Monroe Public Library, Monday, May 16th at 2:30 p.m. at the Twining Valley Retirement Community, and on Thursday, May 26th at 2 p.m. at the Aster Retirment Community of Monroe.

Two Albany representatives attend Wisconsin EDGE Conference Cheryl Zimmerman, State FFA Executive Director. “This conference brings out the very best in the students who participate. It really helps the students focus on who they are and what they can become.” The Wisconsin Association of FFA offers their members a wide variety of leadership and personal development conference opportunities. These conferences help young people from junior high to graduates build upon important skills that will last a lifetime. EDGE helps enhance a student’s opportunity for growth beyond the school and classroom. EDGE is presented by Rhett Laubach, owner of YourNextSpeaker, LLC. Laubach works with associations, corporations, and student organizations interested in developing leadership potential. He is a professional keynote speaker and trainer, author, leadership expert, and a 2014 brain tumor survivor. This experience has added a multitude of profound and powerful lessons that few presenters have the opportunity to share. Laubach’s speaking career has taken him to 48 states, the Bahamas, Canada and to over

one million audience members. Drawing from his 20+ years of speaking and training experience, his ability to connect with his audience, whether students or professionals, and his unprecedented stage energy are second to none. Craig Hillier also presented. Hillier has a passion to work with students, educators, and professionals. He has spoken to over two million people since 1990. His high-energy programs and contagious enthusiasm captivate audiences throughout the United States. Participants find themselves engaged in a story, and then suddenly, they are on their feet with an activity that drives the point even further. His programs are known to be upbeat, fun and educational. The Wisconsin Association of FFA is comprised of 250 local chapters preparing over 20,000 students in high school and junior high for careers in agriculture. FFA is making a positive difference in the lives of young people, today and in the future. If you have a student interested in joining FFA, contact the local agricultural education instructor in your school for details.

Albany High School celebrates 125th anniversary ALBANY — It has been 125 years since the first class graduated from the Albany High School. In 1891, Nettie Flint Woodbury was the only graduating senior, and the next year, there were six graduates. The graduating class of 2015 brought the total number to graduate from Albany to 2,719. There have been five years with over 40 graduates, and the largest class to graduate was 1981 with 52. The classes are much smaller now.

FFA auction a success By Brittany Janes Correspondent

ALBANY — The Albany FFA and Albany FFA Alumni celebrated the success of their first Blue and Gold Auction. The Auction took place on April 6 at the Albany Lions Club Building. After countless weeks of FFA members collecting donations from local businesses and hours of planning, members are able to rest easy. This year, members of the Albany FFA really stepped it up and lent a helping hand to the Albany FFA Alumni and their chapter when it came time to help out. Even the upcoming year’s officer team stepped it up another notch, and each created his or her own basket to auction off. They also came together to form a Dessert of the Month basket. The money earned from this event will go toward funding necessary items needed within the chapter and will help pay for trips that members attend through the year. Over one hundred people came in attendance to support the hardworking members. Thanks to local businesses, the auction included six different tables for their raffle drawing, with each table including one or more “big ticket” items, ranging from guns to garmins, and televi-

sions to grills. Both live and silent auctions were held for other items, also donated by the local businesses. The silent auction contained a variety of handmade wood items, wine and chocolate baskets, and children’s toy baskets, among other things. The live auction was filled with different baked goods, baskets made by the office team, and labor to be performed by the

ALBANY — Jada Flannery and Rob Schroeder, of the Albany FFA chapter, attended the Wisconsin EDGE Conference in Green Bay last month. This is a personal development conference designed especially for junior high and middle school students in the FFA organization. EDGE, which stands for Experiencing, Discovery, Growth and Excellence, is designed to help young students learn how they can develop and maintain a positive outlook on life; deal with negative peer pressures; and motivate themselves and others. “The speakers were able to get their message across and do it in an interesting way,” Flannery said. EDGE provided students with the knowledge and skills needed to set and achieve goals in all areas of their lives. This year’s theme was “The Teamwork Experience.” “EDGE is a conference designed to help younger students better understand who they are. Over 350 junior high/middle school members attended this conference, which is designed to meet the needs of younger FFA members, and it helps them realize their potential early on,” said

Pet of the Week MONROE — Smokie is a 5-year-old female. She is a grey and brown domestic shorthair, and she has been spayed. Smokie simply wants to be held and pet. She’s not afraid to use her voice to let you know that she is right there and ready for attention. With brilliant green eyes, this energetic gal explores the world and exudes confidence with each graceful step. She enjoys playtime and especially appreciates being scratched around her ears and under her chin. This gorgeous kitty does best as a single pet, as she tends to frown upon the company of nearby cats. The shelter is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and all holidays, with afternoon hours

only Wednesday through Sunday. See website: www.greencountyhumane.org for new arrivals of cats and dogs, adoption fees, and upcoming events. 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.

Green County Sheriff’s Report All charges reported here are merely accusations. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Sheriff’s deputies reported the following incidents occurred. Monday, April 18 Motor vehicle crash At 8:22 a.m., the Brodhead Police Department reported that a damaged vehicle had been located at the parking area for the trailhead for Pearl Island on Decatur Road. The vehicle’s plates were removed, and the VIN was covered with a torn cigarette pack. An investigation revealed that on Sunday, at approximately 11:45 p.m., Jordan E. Rowley, 20, of Footville, was operating westbound in the West 600 block of Decatur Road in the Town of Decatur when she reported hitting some gravel, overcorrecting, and losing control. The driver’s side of the vehicle struck the southeast side of the bridge rail, the vehicle slid across the bridge and struck the north side of the bridge rail, and then the vehicle slid back across the bridge where the front of it struck the southwest side of the bridge rail. Rowley was

not injured and could not remember whether she was wearing a seatbelt. The airbags did deploy, and the vehicle sustained severe damage. Rowley drove to the parking area and contacted Paige Connolly, 20, of Brodhead, to pick her up. They returned to the vehicle at Connolly’s suggestion to remove the plates and cover the VIN. Rowley attempted to report the vehicle stolen to Brodhead but ultimately admitted to being the operator and sole occupant during the crash. Rowley was cited for Failure of Operator to Notify Police of an Accident and Failure to Have Vehicle Under Control. Connolly was cited for Knowingly Assisting a Person Fleeing an Accident. Both were released pending court. The vehicle was towed from the scene.

At 7:07 p.m., deputies responded to the North 6800 block of County Highway in the Town of Albany for a single-vehicle crash. When deputies arrived on scene, the vehicle had already left. A short time later, a deputy located

the vehicle in the area. An investigation revealed that Isaac m. Lindert, 23, of Oregon, was southbound when he failed to negotiate a curve and struck the ditch. Lindert reported that a passerby removed his vehicle from the ditch. Lindert’s vehicle sustained moderate damage and was towed from the scene. The airbags deployed.
