Culinary team cooks up a solid performance at Milwaukee competition

Mahi with Pomodoro pepe fantasia tapenade was the entree. Astrata tiramisu with crumbled biscotti and crema was the dessert. The team had to practice making the items in the allotted time of one hour to work out the preparation sequence. Since they were only allowed two burners, they had to work out when to cook which item. Maddie worked on the appetizer, Becca on the entrée, Brooklyn the dessert, and Haleigh helped each of them when needed. Chloe’s job was to be the team’s timer. She had to watch the clock and let them know how much time was left so that they stayed within the time frame. It took many practices to work it out so that they didn’t go over the one-hour limit. The food also had to be Courtesy photos plated in an attractive manner.

The Churchill China Company donated $929 in China to the school earlier this year for the culinary team’s use in competition. The china will be used for years to come by future culinary teams. The team placed 16th out of 28 teams. Mrs. McCracken said that the judges ate all of the food, and since they had to sample it all day long, she felt that was a very good sign.

ORFORDVILLE — This year’s culinary team consisted of Becca Groetken, Maddie Kane, Haleigh Kruse, Chloe Marquis and Brooklyn Weeks. They were coached by family and consumer education teacher Glenda McCracken. Instructional assistant Bonnie McMahon was also an essential mentor in working with the team. The team competed in the Wisconsin Restaurant Association Pro Start Invitational. The competition took place at the Milwaukee Center on March 7 and 8. This is the fifteenth year of the competition and the sixth year Parkview has competed. Each team must prepare an appetizer, an entrée and a dessert in a set amount of time. They must take everything with them except for the two, one-burner units they are given to cook on. All of their food, utensils, pots, pans, and mixing bowls must be taken with them. All food is checked to see that it is stored properly and at the correct temperature, as well. This year’s menu, created by the team, was goat cheese-stuffed apricots with pita crackers and apricot vinaigrette for the appetizer. Mushroom risotto with eggplant a la Groetken and Mahi

Albany Music Department goes to NYC By Rachel Day Vocal Music Teacher

Central Station, Chelsea Market, Harlem, 5th Avenue, Lower Manhattan, and Times Square. Our last activity for the day was viewing the entire city from the “Top of the Rock,” which is atop the 70-story Rockefeller Plaza. On the third day, we enjoyed shopping, dining, and sight-seeing in Chinatown and Little Italy before our Broadway Classroom experience at DANY Studios. The students were divided into four different groups, and each group was taught a song and dance from the musical, Matilda, which we saw later that night.

The instructors were actual actors from the Broadway show. This got everyone even more excited to see the fabulous production of Matilda. On the fourth day, all students and chaperones got to go on the historic Radio City Music Hall Tour. Most of us even got to go on stage. Other stops before lunch included the beautiful St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Rockefeller Plaza, and the NBC Store. In the afternoon, we explored the Saturday Night Live Exhibition, which led us through the fast-paced creative process of

writing and producing a show in just one week. You can’t go to NYC without shopping, so our students were given time to shop and explore in Times Square, where we also had a great photo opportunity with our group of 139 people. To end our amazing trip, we saw the Broadway production of Les Miserables, the Tony-Award winning mega-musical masterpiece that tells an epic and uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit. Although everyone was exhausted from the travel and fast-paced culture of NYC, we all survived and have great stories to tell. I want to thank our Music Boosters Organization for helping fundraise to make this possible for our students. I would also like to thank the parents for supporting their children in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Thank you to Group Travel Planners for planning an amazing itinerary for us (and helping navigate us through the city), chaperones for keeping our students safe, and last but not least, our students. You showed integrity and respect to everyone you came in contact with and represented Albany with pride.

The All-Star game will be held on Saturday, June 18 at the JustAgame Fieldhouse in the Wisconsin Dells.

This option allows donors to find Tyler Dahl’s name for a direct contribution. Another option is for donors to give contributions directly to Dahl or to Albany High School, care of Athletic Director, Derik Doescher. Checks should be made payable to WBCA/MACC Fund. Donors who contribute between $1 and $24 are called “Contributors” and will see their names on the WBCA website. Those who donate between

$25 and $49 are called “Boosters” and will see their names in the game program and on the website. Those who contribute from $50 to $99 will be named “Sponsors” and will see their names bolded in the program and on the website. Donors who contribute higher amounts are broken into three categories of “Advertisers. ” For $100, advertisers will see their name in the program and in a half-rectangle ad. For $200, advertisers will see their names in the program and in a full rectangle ad. For $300, advertisers will see their names in the program, in a full rectangle ad, and on the

program logo. It is the school’s goal that Tyler represents Albany by being the leading player contributor in gathering donations toward this exciting event. Donations are due by Sunday, May 1. The school hopes you consider sponsoring Tyler Dahl for this charitable event that has raised over 2 million dollars for the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer Fund in past years.

ALBANY — Over Spring Break, the Albany High School Band and Choir took a road trip to New York City along with Juda and Monticello students. Highlights of our trip included many tours, performances, and sight-seeing. On the first day, we took the ferry to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. In the afternoon, we visited Trinity Church and the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Although many of our students are too young to remember what it was like on 9/11, they were extremely thoughtful and respectful while viewing the exhibits at the museum. The second day was performance day. The Choir and Band (both combined with Juda and Monticello) set up on the top deck of the USS Intrepid, a 900-feett-long aircraft carrier, for performances filled with patriotic music. When they finished, the students got to tour the Intrepid SeaAir-Space Museum, which is the world’s largest naval museum. In the afternoon, each of the three coach buses was led on a city-wide tour with their own tour guides. Some of the stops included Central Park, Grand

Natural Nutrition presentation sheds light on health ALBANY — Twelve people attended a “Natural Nutrition” lecture at Albany’s Albertson Memorial Library last week. Alex McNaught and Carly Tomlins of the Harvest Center presented. The presentation was part of the library’s collection of lectures on “things you should know about, community, safety and wellbeing.” Lemon grass, nettle and mint teas were served, as well as pick-

led beets, carrots and blueberries. A collection of library books on nutrition was also on display. The presenters started out by explaining the hazards of sugar. They also explained that it hinders nutrition and makes it harder for us to process vegatables. Some good-for-you sources of sugar are molasses, sorghum, maple syrup, and honey. The vegetables and fruits they promoted also have sugars in them, but the presenters explained that they’re different. “They are natural sugars your

body can process,” they said. “They are easy for your body to digest.” Bad sugars include corn sweetner, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, fruit juice concentrate, and glucose. According to the presentation, sugar overloads the liver, is bad for teeth, and releases dopamine in the brain. This can cause addiction. A tip McNaught and Tomlins gave regarded grocery shopping. They advised that it is better to buy darker greens. They

The presenters also stressed healthy fats such as those found in fish oil and avocados as opposed to those found in greasy foods.

AVOCADOS MAY LOWER CHOLESTEROL

Avocados are a good source of fiber, potassium and vitamins K, B9, B6, C and E, as well as protein and healthy fat. Research indicates that eating avocados may help lower cholesterol. In one study, participants ate avocados every day for a week and experienced a 22% drop in their LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels and a 16% reduction in total blood cholesterol. They also had an 11% increase in their HDL (good cholesterol). While rare, some people are allergic to avocados, so talk with your doctor if you experience any unpleasant side effects from eating them.

Technology is changing cheese production Hello, Cheese Days goers! I am honored and excited to represent Green County for the 2016 festival. My name is Jana Duval Crandall and I grew up on HeftyBlum Homestead Farms, right outside of New Glarus and Monticello. Swiss heritage runs deep in my family and boy are we proud of it! I work at Quest Industrial, the nation’s largest direct cheese contact robotic integrator, as their Marketing Manager. In this role, I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with some of the world’s most renowned cheese makers and industry leaders, as well as visiting some of the most technologically advanced dairy plants in the area. As promised, this month’s article is about how technology is changing cheese production. Quest Industrial’s niche is in the dairy industry, and we understand the standards and regulations that dairy plants have to meet. Our equipment is designed for washdown environments with USDA compliant materials. Our engineers and experts go through training on a regular basis to stay current on sanitary standards, safety, and robotic standards. Did you know that with robotics, infractions are reduced to almost nothing? Because robots are completing food processing

tasks, there is a much lower risk of foreign contaminants entering the food being handled. Robotics can help with tasks that are difficult, repetitive, and unsafe for humans to complete. Automating the tasks reduces work-related lost-time claims and employee downtime and also speeds up the production process. Most people think that robotics take away jobs – it is actually the opposite. For every one robot Quest Industrial installs, at least five new jobs are created. Are you wondering why? Robots need people to operate and maintain them, and with the robots in operation, production increases, along with a need for other jobs within the plant. It becomes a good problem of exponential growth. Robotics are versatile and if done right, compact and intuitive, while maintaining a higher level of efficiency. Quest Industrial covers the needs of dairy plants from brine all the way to storage. Quest was the first robotic integrator to have raw cheese handling capabilities without covers because of our unique “Qleen Qoat” coating system, which has proven to be reliable and able to withstand the harshest chemicals used in the industry, not to mention brine environments. Quest’s engineers have

designed robotic equipment that erects, packs, and seals boxes; palletizes various sized products; handles raw food; and orientates, cuts, loads, and conveys various types of products. Please visit www.got-bot. com for more information. I hope to see you out and about this month at the Cheese Auction in Milwaukee, Monroe’s Business Expo, and the Grilled Cheese Contest in Dodgeville. Remember, if you have a child interested in the Green County Cheese Days Prince and Princess Contest, please submit the application before May 23rd. Also, Green County Cheese Days is seeking vendors for the Arts and Crafts Show held on Saturday, September 17. Over 100 booths were filled at the 2014 show, with vendors in various mediums including yard and garden art, soaps, sculpture, paintings, clothing, and more. For more “Cheesy” information, visit the official Cheese Days website at www.cheesedays.com. Don’t forget this year’s button to show off your Cheese Days pride. Mark your calendars for September 16-18, and invite your family and friends to the most entertaining weekend of the year, only six months away!

Members of Plymouth 4-H donate supplies to Friends of Noah after hearing about the program at their March meeting.

Plymouth 4-H supports Friends of Noah By Dillan Heisz, Natalie Abey, and Aaliyah Gunn

PLYMOUTH — At Plymouth 4-H’s March meeting, we had a guest speaker who talked about the Friends of Noah organization. Friends of Noah - WI is a volunteer-based, Wisconsin dog, cat, and rabbit rescue organization. Friends of Noah believes strongly that by investing in our community on many different levels, we can come closer

to our ultimate goal of never needing to rescue another animal again. The organization does not have an actual shelter, so the animals have to go to foster homes until they get adopted. They also have a warehouse where they store food. When people need food for their animals because they can’t feed them, the organization gives them food. The Plymouth 4-H helped support Friends of Noah by donating food and supplies.

TAX TIME 2016 What Wisconsinites Should Know About Claiming the Health Coverage Tax Credit MILWAUKEE — The Health Coverage Tax Credit is a tax credit that pays 72.5 percent of qualified health insurance premiums for eligible individuals and families. You are required to attach certain documents with your income tax return to verify you were eligible to claim the credit, that your 2015 health insurance plan was qualified, and that the premiums claimed for your 2015 coverage were paid for the IRS to process your claim for the

HCTC. If you do not attach the required documentation, processing delays may occur. Here’s what you should know about the HCTC: 1. Who Can Claim the HCTC. You may only claim the credit if you are: • An eligible trade adjustment assistance (TAA) recipient, alternative (ATAA) recipient or reemployment (RTAA) recipient. • An eligible Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) pension payee.

• The family member of a TAA, ATAA, or RTAA recipient or PBGC pension payee who is deceased, finalized a divorce with you, or started receiving Medicare. NOTE: A family member is only eligible for two years after the date that created the eligibility. If someone else can claim you as a dependent on their federal income tax return, you are not eligible for the HCTC. 2. What Health Insur-

ance Plans Qualify for the HCTC. Not all plans qualify. Here are some things to remember: • All plans that previously qualified for the HCTC qualify for the HCTC through 2019. • This includes individual - private and non-group - health insurance that you purchase for yourself or your family from an insurance company, agent or broker. • Review the Instructions for Form 8885 for informa-

Notice to the Public for Immediate Release: Per the Wisconsin State Statutes: Chapter 83 “County Highways” and Chapter 86 “Miscellaneous Highway Provisions”, notice is hereby given by the Green County Highway Department to adjacent landowners of the liability for damages related to County Highways and County Highway right-of-way. The Green County Highway Department hereby notifies adjacent landowners who encroach upon the County Highway Right-of-Way in the process of cultivation, harvest, fence replacement, grading, drainage, or other disturbance acts of the Wisconsin State laws pertaining to damages. In addition, the Highway Department will not be liable for damages to private property on county right-ofway for said encroachments. The County Highway Department is responsible via Wisconsin State Statutes for the maintenance of the County Highway Right-of-Way corridor, and acts of encroachment detrimentally affect the ability to properly convey surface water storm drainage, the preservation and function of ditches and culverts, prevention of erosion of roadsides and roadbed materials, and can adversely affect the life of the pavement structure. If a landowner is unsure of the location or width of the existing County Highway Right-of-Way adjacent to their parcels, please contact the Green County Highway Department at (608) 328-9411 for assistance in determining the proper location of the right-of-way line and the limits of cultivation of adjacent parcels. The Highway Department has an established permit procedure and fee schedule for the review of work required to be performed on the County Highway right of way.

MADISON — Spring has arrived, and so has Safe Digging Month. April is recognized by underground utility damage prevention stakeholders as National Safe Digging Month. The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) reminds residents and professional excavators to always call 811 before they dig. «Safety is our top priority, and April marks the start of spring digging season,” explained PSC Chair Ellen Nowak. “A free call to Wisconsin’s Diggers Hotline, at 8-1-1, will notify the appropriate utility companies to mark the underground lines at the excavation location so you can work safely around them.” The PSC is asking Wisconsin residents to participate in the 811 Promise: Make a free call to 811 a few days before digging. Wait the required time. Locate accurately.

Respect the marks. Dig with care. National Safe Digging Month promotes awareness of safe digging practices across the country and is meant to serve as a reminder to always call 811 before every digging project, large or small. This can prevent employee injuries, repair costs, and costly fines, which can occur when an underground gas, electric, communications, water or sewer line is unintentionally hit. The 811 number is a free, FCC-designated national number that connects callers from anywhere in the country to their local one call center. The one call center will then alert the appropriate underground facility owners so they can dispatch locators to mark the approximate location of their lines with paint or flags, after which professionals and homeowners can dig safely around the marks.

Obituary Tara H. Lund

Tara H. Lund, 34, of Davis, Ill., formerly of Darlington, passed away unexpectedly Friday, April 1, 2016 at Monroe Clinic Hospital in Monroe, Wis. She was born June 12, 1981 in Monroe, the daughter of Brian Lund and Cindy Miller. Tara graduated from Darlington High School in 1999 and later went on to receive a degree in Art Education from UW-Platteville in 2004. She was united in marriage to Cody B. Sullivan on Feb. 17, 2014, in Monroe. Tara grew up in Darlington. After graduating from college, she moved to Monroe and began teaching art at the Juda School District, grades K through 12. In 2013, Tara began as a graphic artist at Swiss Colony in Monroe. Tara is survived by her husband, Cody Sullivan of Davis, Ill.; her eight-month-old son, Sullivan Grant Lund at home; her parents, Brian (Diane) Lund of Darlington and Cindy Miller of Brodhead; one brother, Ian Lund of Madison; one sister: Carly (Koller Stettler) Lund of Whitewater; one stepsister, Jessica Hubner; two step-brothers, Cary (Sunny) Hubner and Casey (Rachel Grimm) Hubner; fives nieces and nephews, Hendrix Stettler, Hayes and Nina Hubner, Ella and Ava Griswold; her maternal grandfather, Merlyn Miller of Monroe; and her paternal grandmother, Lynn Lund of Lake Lure, NC. She is preceded in death by her maternal grandmother, Rosemary Melbye, who died in 2004, and her paternal grandfather, Larry Lund, who died in 2008.

ROCK COUNTY — The Outdoor Warning System will resume monthly siren tests today, Wednesday, April 6 at 12:05 p.m. Testing will continue through October. The sirens will be tested at 12:05 on the first Wednesday of the month unless Rock County is threatened with inclement weather at the time. If that is the case, siren testing will be postponed until 12:05 p.m. on the second Wednesday of the month. The test signal will be one or two minutes in duration. Please tune in to your local radio stations or weather radios for all weather-related information and instructions when the sirens sound. In the event of an actual tor-

nado warning, the sirens will sound steadily for three to five minutes. The length alert tone will indicate that citizens should immediately take shelter and listen to local broadcasting stations or radios for further information. Citizens are reminded that they should not call the Rock County 911 Communications Center or local radio stations for weather information. If citizens find that the siren in their area is not working properly, they should contact the Rock County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Management Bureau at 608-758-8440. For further information, please visit www.co.rock. wi.us/emergency-managementalert-warnings.

Pilot mapping tool available to help Rock River communities prepare for floods roles over the years. She was always willing to get involved in community events and loved to help others. She will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by her family and friends. A funeral service will be held tomorrow, Thursday, April 7 at 11 a.m. at Grace Lutheran Church (1302 Clay Street, Darlington) with Rev. Craig Simenson officiating. A visitation will be held today, Wednesday, April 6 from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. at Erickson Funeral Home (508 Main Street, Darlington) and from 10 a.m. until 10:45 a.m. tomorrow at the church. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.ericksonfuneralhome. com. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established in Tara’s name.

MADISON — A new interactive map that forecasts the extent and depths of flood waters is available to help communities along the Rock River prepare for potential flood events. The Rock River Flood Inundation Mapping tool has been created for five stretches of the Rock River through Dodge, Jefferson, and Rock counties. This tool is part of a pilot program created by the Department of Natural Resources and Wisconsin Emergency Management, in partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the National Weather Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Army Corps of Engineers and Rock River communities. “Through this interactive map, residents, business owners, and local officials along the Rock River will get an indication when roadways, streets, buildings or other infrastructure may be impacted by flooding,” said Wisconsin Emergen-

cy Management Administrator Brian Satula. “This will allow them to take appropriate measures to protect their property and mitigate damages.” Chris Olds, DNR lead floodplain engineer, said the web maps help communities by illustrating areas covered by water at various stages of a flood event. Specifically, the maps can be used to: find real-time river stages and the associate flood risk; plan ahead and mitigate for the impacts of flooding; pinpoint an address to see the forecasted impact on a specific property; and determine the flood stage at which roadways will become impassable. Olds said flood inundation mapping tools have been successfully used at several locations across the country, but this is the first of its kind in Wisconsin. The public can learn how to access and navigate the map through an online tutorial at http://dnrmedia.wi.gov/.
