Farmers offered opportunity to recycle agriculture plastics Wisconsin dairy and livestock farms are using silo bags, bunkers, and wrapped bales at a dramatically increased rate over the last decade. Each of these tools relies on low-density polyethylene, a plastic film that provides a low-cost method for storing high-quality forages. It’s estimated that over 55 million pounds of LDPE thermoplastic is sold annually to Wisconsin farmer. While agriculture plastics are increasingly popular, their disposal has become a big issue on many farms. A statewide survey conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Extension and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in 2015 reported that about two-thirds of farmers use landfills for disposing their used agriculture plastic. The second most common method of disposal is burning, at 30 percent, with 10 percent of respondents reporting that they recycle the plastic. More than 1,500 farms and greenhouses around Wisconsin participated in the survey. Burning agriculture plastic is illegal and releases toxic and potentially cancer-causing chemicals such as dioxins and furans into the air. These toxins can be inhaled by humans and animals and are deposited in soil and surface water. Residue from burning can also contaminate the soil and groundwater and enter the human

food chain through crops and livestock. Moreover, unburned portions of plastic become litter on the ground, with larger piles creating breeding grounds and habitats for mosquitoes. The survey indicates that 85 percent of farmers are willing to haul their plastic to a collection site for recycling. Past agriculture plastic collection programs in Green County have confirmed that many farmers will drive up to 30 miles to recycle their plastic if there is no disposal charge. Green County farmers have a lot of used agriculture plastic on their lands, and most prefer to see it recycled versus burning it or paying up to $1,500 per year to dispose of it in landfills. So why do Wisconsin farmers not recycle more agriculture plastic? The major challenge in recycling agriculture plastic is transporting it from the farm to a collection facility for baling. Green County started recycling agriculture plastics in 2014 by having spring and fall collections during which farmers could dispose of their used agriculture plastic free of charge by hauling it to a local landfill. Over the past two years, the county has collected more than 650,000 pounds of used agriculture plastic and recently expanded its collection program to accept this type of

American Pickers to film in Wisconsin American Pickers Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, and their team are excited to return to Wisconsin! They plan to film episodes of the hit series “American Pickers” throughout the region this August. “American Pickers” is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on History. The hit show follows Mike and Frank, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques. They are always excited to find sizeable, unique collections and learn the interesting stories behind them. As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Mike and Frank are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics. Along the way, the Pickers want to meet characters

with remarkable and exceptional items. The pair hopes to give historically significant objects new leases on life while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way. Mike and Frank have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before. They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them. “American Pickers” is looking for leads and would love to explore your hidden treasure. If you or someone you know has a large, private collection or accumulation of antiques that the Pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through, send your name, phone number, location, and a description of the collection with photos to: americanpickers@ cineflix.com or call 855-old-rust.

Green County’s landfill department bales the used plastic into one-ton parcels and sends them to a facility in Arkansas, where the material is cleaned, processed, and recycled into trash can liners and other products. A new pilot program An even more potentially effective option for agriculture plastic disposal is being rolled out in Wisconsin this summer. Mark Mayer, Green County’s UW-Extension Agriculture Agent, worked on a pilot program with Revolution Plastics in 2015 to place free dumpsters on 88 farms in Wisconsin and Illinois specifically for storing these types of plastic until the program picked it up for free. Due to the pilot’s success in Green County, Revolution Plastics is now expanding the free program to several hundred more farmers in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa in 2016. This program certainly has the makings of being a win-win for everyone involved. It will enable farmers to dispose of their used plastic at no cost and will reduce the amount of plastic going to landfills and being illegally burned. It will also allow for the recycling of unwanted material into new products. The number of cows and the size of a particular farm are no longer limiting factors to participation. If a farm generates enough agriculture plastic film to fill an eightcubic-yard dumpster every six weeks,that farm qualifies. Herds as small as 60 milk cows using both silage bags and bale wraps can easily meet this criterion. The final opportunity to secure a free dumpster for Green County area farms will occur in late July. Revolution Plastics will make its final deliver of free dumpsters available to area farmers from 8 a.m. to noon on Monday, July 25. The dumpsters will be distributed from a lot located at 207 17th Street in Brodhead.

Green County royalty taste tests contest burger This year’s “Best Burger in Green County” contest was tweaked to include an ingredient that is no stranger to “best of” contests. For their third annual contest, the Green County Beef Producers required contenders to include locally made cheese on their list of ingredients for the 2016 Best Cheeseburger Contest. More than 20 restaurants and pubs are competing for honors in a contest that runs through Friday, August 5. Turner Hall of Monroe’s contest entry took things one step further when the chef added another local product to the mix. Their Sourdough Beer Cheese Pub Burger starts off with a lightly toasted sourdough bun and chargrilled beef patty, followed by a layer of French fries and smoked bacon. Following a garnish of a scattering of sliced green onions, the entire entrée is topped with a beer cheese sauce made from locally brewed pilsner and locally crafted cheddar. This marriage of beef and cheese prompted representatives from both industries to stop in at Turner Hall to sample the contest fare. Those who attended were Green County Cheese Days Ambassador Jana Crandall, Green County Beef Queen Madison Katzenberger, and Green County Beef Princess Ali Rosheisen. Crandall is a native of the New Glarus area who is connected to the cheese industry through her position as Marketing Manager at Quest Industrial, a robotic automation integrator located in Monroe, specializing in designing and creating equipment for the dairy industry. Katzenberger shows cattle from her family’s fourth-generation beef operation located near Monroe. Rosheisen shows cattle from her family’s third-generation beef operation near Brodhead. All three will appear at various events this summer to promote local agriculture, and all three will also appear in the Swiss Colony Cheese Days Parade on Sunday, September 18. The public is invited to take

part in the contest by sampling the cheeseburgers from at least five of the participating locations. All those who send in their ballots will be entered into a prize drawing taking place at the Green County Beef Producers Steak-Out Dinner planned for Thursday, August 18 at the Green County Fairgrounds.

The Green County Family YMCA launched its annual campaign on Monday, July 11, to ensure that everyone in Green County has access to vital community programs and resources that support youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Every day, the Green County Family YMCA works to support all people and neighborhoods with health and wellness activities, aquatic safety, sportsmanship, family strengthening, and much more. The annual campaign helps those in need who can’t otherwise afford the various benefits Y memberships and programs provide. The annual campaign kickoff came on the heels of the launch of the Y-USA’s nationwide multimedia

marketing campaign, For a better us™. The national campaign is designed to educate consumers on the Y’s work as one of the most effective and enduring charitable organizations in the country. The Y relies on yearly contributions from members and friends to subsidize the cost of the programs they offer. Last year, they served 3,151 members, with more than 190 being youth and teens. Of that total, 396 received scholarships, thanks to donors of the annual campaign. In 2015, the Y almost ran out of scholarship funds, and the goal was $85,000. “Our goal this year is to raise $101,000 during a five-week period by reaching out to Y members, friends and the community,” annual

campaign volunteer chairperson Brenda Kulow-King said. Kulow-King is pleased to report that over 30 people have agreed to help out as volunteer campaigners. “We are following the YMCA fundraising model to have a structure in place in terms of volunteer leadership, staff support, and campaigners,” she said. The volunteer Colonels include Marley Lindsey (Health and Wellness), Keith Hoesly (Aquatics), Chris Albert (Gymnastics), Mary Soddy (Youth Sports), and Ken Thomas (Membership). To learn more about how you can support the Y’s cause, please contact Aaron Phillips, YMCA Executive Director, at 608-325-2003 or visit: http://www.greencountyymca. org.

Too often motorists are unable to see pedestrians or cyclists in the dark with enough time to stop. Wearing reflective devices or gear can help save lives. Wearing reflective material or tape on ankles, arms, wrists and other moving parts to highlight the body’s motion is especially effective. Pedestrians or cyclists should never assume drivers can see them. They should walk or ride defensively, as close to the side of the road as they safely can. Bikes should also be equipped with lights and reflective devices. Parents should choose children’s backpacks, shoes and jackets with reflective areas on them to make kids more visible in the dark.

Enrichment courses add variety to summertime Parkview elementary students have the opportunity to take many enrichment classes during the summer school program. Classes include: Baseball Skills, Basketball Skills, PBIS, Kindergarten Music, Road Trip across America, ALS, Reading Restaurant, Games! Games! Games!, Bead and Weave, Needle and Thread, Camp Adventures, and Kindergarten Readiness. In Road Trip across America, the students learn about different National Parks and Monuments. Most recently, students studied Mammoth Cave. Their teacher, Ms. Dorinda White, explained how caves form. Students did an experiment to get an idea what happens. Nature, of course, takes a long time to create caves, and it needs to happen much faster in the classroom. Students used clay as the sandstone and sugar cubes as the limestone, along with water. The water dissolved the sugar cubes much as it dissolves limestone but at a much faster rate. This left the shell of clay with an opening much like a cave. In Needle and Thread, students were recently making pin holders, pillows, small quilts, and skirts. Teacher Jan Cueller has a large selection of materials for the students to work with, and she teaches them to thread a needle and stich their items by hand. In addition to having fun and creating something, the students are learning a life skill. In Gardening, the students started their own plants and learned about gardening. The students planted red, white, and blue petunias around the flag pole for the Fourth of July. Camp Adventure has included

fun activities like making s’mores with a solar oven and playing camp charades. In Bead and Weave, students made different woven articles including Paracord bracelets. In the baseball and basketball skills classes, students worked on basic drills. The students in the PBIS class created a video showing how to be safe and respectful following school rules. They had assistance from staff members demonstrating the wrong way to do things. Ms. Anna Lussier taught the students how to edit their video and put the various parts together.

Games! Games! Games! gave the students the opportunity to learn and play many different games. American Sign Language was another class offered. Students learned many signs in the class. They created music videos to show what they had learned. The YouTube videos may be found at: https://youtu.be/fp_vRdweTww and https://youtu.be/Jz67gGMmZcA These enrichment classes have offered students the opportunity to gain knowledge, broaden their horizons, and learn new skills in a relaxed environment.

Area youth attend 4-H conference in Madison Green County 4-H members Bella Andrews, Triniti Elmer, Dawson Bethke, and Royce Brauer were among hundreds of 4H youth who attended the 96th annual 4-H and Youth Conference at the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus last month. They joined about 500 other young people representing UW-Extension’s 4-H Youth Development program in celebrating its 96th anniversary. The adult 4-H leader advising the county delegation was Ellen Andrews. Bella Andrews highly recommends attending this conference. “The conference was great,” she said. “I learned so much about leadership, partnership, and other people. The people I met were great. If you want to build on leadership skills in a fun way, 4-H Youth Conference is the way to go.” The annual, four-day conference gives youth a chance to learn about a variety of 4-H and other youth programs, experience handson learning in a university campus atmosphere, strengthen life skills such as communication and leader-

ship, gain knowledge to share back home, and exchange ideas and form friendships with youth from around the state. The delegates attended workshops and assemblies developed around the theme “Picturing Our Success,” which highlighted leadership, individual responsibility, goal setting, healthy living, and living up to potential. Students participated in a variety of community service projects designed to stimulate interest in replicating similar projects in their own communities. Workshop topics included everything from communication arts to building leadership skills, healthy living, STEM topics, youth citizenship, and a host of other exciting subjects. The Wisconsin 4-H Foundation provided the financial support for this conference.

Green County hosts Area Animal Science Day The 2016 Southern Wisconsin 4-H Area Animal Science Day was hosted by Green County on Friday, July 1. Area Animal Science Day is hosted by three counties in the state of Wisconsin every summer. It gives 4-H and FFA members an opportunity to expand their communication and decision-making skills through judging and great experiences. Other purposes of the event include increasing the availability of educational opportunities in the 4-H Animal Science Projects and furthering youth’s knowledge of animals through breeding, market evaluation, and management information. This year’s Green County event included a dairy cattle showmanship contest, evaluation of dairy cattle in both the junior and senior division, and livestock evaluation for both juniors and seniors. The livestock evaluation included beef cattle, goats, sheep, and swine. For the evaluation contest, 4-H and FFA judges used their knowledge to place the four animals in each class based on breeding or market characteristics. In the senior division, the students had to give reasons

as to why they placed a specific class to a state specialist. This helps the students improve their confidence, defend their reasoning, and work on their decision-making abilities. For the junior judges, there was an educational program and group reasoning justifications. Green County had a total of 17 4-H members registered in the contest. Reece Rufer took 1st Place Individual in the Senior Livestock Judging Contest. Marissa Vosberg took 1st Place Individual in the Junior Dairy Judging Contest. Vosberg led the Junior Dairy Judging Team to a second-place finish with teammates Natalie Roe, Nicholas Roe, and Emma Hendrickson. The team will be moving on to the state competition. For our Senior Dairy Judging Team, Ryan Smith had 1st Place for Reasons. Our Senior Dairy Judging Team took 4th Place overall, which included Ryan Smith, Cole Mahlkuch, Brian McCullough, and Clayton Mahlkuch. Thank you to all of the producers, volunteers, and steering committee members for the hard work in making this event a huge success!

Monroe’s Memory Café invites you

The Memory Café is a social gathering for individuals living with memory loss, those with earlier stages of dementia, including Alzheimer’s, and their family and friends. It is a time to gather for laughter, relaxation, activities, companionship, and refreshments. It is not an educational workshop about dementia, but resources will be available. The Café will be held the second Wednesday of each month from 1:30 p.m. to 3 at Blends & Friends Café located inside the Behring Senior Center. Anyone with questions may contact Whitney Thompson at 608-426-4295. There will always be time at the café to relax and socialize, but activities will be available for a portion of the time. A tentative schedule of events is as follows: July 13 The Green County Humane Society will visit the café with some of their animals. August 10 Participants should bring photos or family memorabilia to share with others. September 14 Taste cheese samples and join in the Cheese Days celebration.

The Pleasant View Nursing Home team took the honors for raising the most money, and the Monroe Manor team took the honors for having the most walkers. The team of Ruth’s Angels was the family team raising the most money, and Michael Wolff and Karla Rule were the top individual fundraisers. Sponsors of this year’s walk include gold sponsors: Colony Brands Inc. and Mimi’s Team; silver sponsors: Babler Associates, First National Bank and Trust Company, and the Monroe Clinic;

One hundred and forty-three of these airmen received POW medals in 2014. Roy Thomas, who has researched Swiss internees, will be available to answer questions following the showing.

Sunset Celebration coming to Monroe August 12 Vendors, artisans, community groups, clubs, and non-profits invited to host booths Main Street Monroe has a special Sunset Celebration planned to coincide with their Concert on the Square event planned for Friday, August 12. In the style of festivities held daily as the sun goes down in Key West, Florida, the evening will include street performers sponsored by the John and Katie

Baumann Inspiration Project, artisans, and vendors. Groups and individuals are invited to set up booths on the inner ring of the south side of the downtown square. Spaces are open to the following categories: service clubs, community organizations, youth groups, non-profits, artisans, craft-

ers, resellers, and vendors. Groups are invited to promote their missions, fund raise, or recruit members and volunteers. Artisans and crafters may sell their wares and are encouraged to do demonstrations. Everyone is encouraged to offer games, make-and-take crafts for kids, prize drawings, or to in-

Letter to the Editor Everyone I encounter seems to want Big Money out of politics. It negatively affects our entire lives—our ability to get well-paying jobs, provide healthcare and quality education for our children, and even have clean water to drink. Many folks feel powerless to change things. A few of us do not. On Tuesday, June 21, the New Glarus Village Board took the high road by voting unanimously to place the We the People referendum on the ballot this fall. Due to the board’s thoughtful vote, village citizens will have a chance on November 8 to formally voice their opinions on whether we should amend the U.S. Constitution. The amendment would simply say that corporations and other such artificial entities are not people and that money is not equivalent to free speech. Getting Big Money out of politics will be a long haul, and this is a necessary first step, one that several other Green County communities

have taken. The Cities of Brodhead and Monroe and the Towns of Clarno and York have all passed similar referenda, with voter approval ratings averaging 85%. The Mount Pleasant Town Board has passed a resolution supporting the amendment, and a referendum will be on the fall ballot in the Town of New Glarus. Right now, United to Amend is working to bring the issue before the voters in the Towns of Adams, Albany, Brooklyn, Cadiz, Decatur, Jordan, and Spring Grove and in the Village of Monticello. We’ll be holding a number of informational sessions over the summer, so if you’d like to learn more or to help get the word out, just give us a call. Contacts are Jeanette Kelty at (608) 293-0266 and Harry Pulliam at (608) 228-5439. Sincerely, Harry Pulliam New Glarus

corporate other activities to attract concert goers to visit their booths. Booth spaces will be assigned according to the order in which they are received. Rental is $15 for a 10-by-10-foot space. There is no electricity available. Hours of operation are 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Set up will be available beginning at 5 p.m. No vehicles will be allowed in the street area closed for booths (south side of the square: inner ring); participants should plan accordingly by bringing rolling carts if needed. The entire west side of the square (concert and audience area) is also closed to vehicles. Parking will be available in other areas around the square, as well as the municipal lot north of Suisse Haus. To reserve a booth, send a $15 check to Main Street Monroe, P.O. Box 544, Monroe, Wisconsin, 53566. Include your name (and/

or group name), cell phone number that could be used to contact you the day of the event, email address, and category (see above for categories). You can also drop off your check and information at the Main Street office located on the second level of Wisconsin Community Bank. Booth reservations are due by Thursday, July 28. Main Street Monroe’s featured non-profits for the 2016 concert season have been invited to host booths at no cost. These organizations are Greenhaven Family Advocates, Monroe Clinic Hospice Foundation, Big Brothers-Big Sisters, Pleasant View Foundation, Green County EMS, and the Green County Historical Society Museum.

Fairest of the Fair chosen I’m Molly Wyss, your 2016 Green County Fairest of the Fair. I am a 22-year-old Monroe High School graduate and Blackhawk Technical College graduate with an Agribusiness Management degree. I am currently attending Rockford Career College for a Veterinary Technician degree in large and small animals and a minor in exotic animals. I work part time on our family dairy farm outside of Monroe and at Charlie’s Bark Park in Monroe. Sounds busy, doesn’t it? But no matter how busy I’ve been, I have always made the Green County and the Wisconsin State Fairs part of my life. I started showing dairy cattle in the Open Class event at 5 years old under the watch of my parents and Frances Rufi. That expe-

rience and my older sisters’ project work got me hooked on 4-H and eventually FFA organizations. My position as official hostess of the Green County Fair gives me opportunities to promote the Green County Fair Association’s events and fundraisers that help to bring new and exciting programs to our county. I look forward to my new “job” that gives area individuals, and 4-H and FFA youth the opportunity to showcase project work at the annual fair. I look forward to meeting you at community parades and festivals throughout the summer, and I will be excited to welcome you, your family, and your neighbors to the events and shows at the 2016 Green County Fair, July 20 to 24 in Monroe.

This year’s Green County Fair Livestock Auction will be held in the livestock pavilion on Saturday, July 23. The event is set to begin at 12:30 p.m. The auction’s rules are as follows: Each animal sold through the Fur and Feather and Large Animal auctions will be charged a flat selling fee for each species. The flat fees for each species will be as follows: Beef - $13, Barrow - $7, Lambs - $5, and Turkeys, Rabbits, Ducks, and Chickens - $4. In addition to the flat fee, each auction animal will be charged a 3% commission on the amount received above the current market price at the time of the auction. The current market prices for each species will be determined by the Meat Animal Sale Committee and will be posted at the auctions. Mandatory Livestock Check-offs will be deducted for Beef ($1/head), Swine (.004% of sale price), and Sheep ($.005/ pound.). An identification fee of $5/head will also be deducted from the check of each exhibitor selling lambs, steers and barrows in the auction. Each exhibitor may sell two animals, not to exceed one animal of each species, with the exception of Champion and Reserve Champion if owned by the same exhibitor. A member may sell a total of two consignments in the Youth Fair Auctions (Meat Animal and Fur and Feather Sales). This total of two consignments is not to exceed one entry per species. When applicable, a pen of animals is one consignment (e.g. one steer and one lamb OR one steer and one rabbit or one rabbit and one pen of roasters). All auction animals will be weighed in at the following times: Barrows: Tuesday, July 19, starting at 8:00 a.m. Lambs: as unloaded Tuesday from 9:00 a.m. to noon.

Pastor’s Corner By Rev. P. Jack Way Jr. LUTHER VALLEY LUTHERAN ELCA

Deep sorrow and great joy exist within this creation we occupy. While away for a brief break from the ministry, we were able to visit my parents in McHenry, Illinois, way out in the boonies of Chicago. Enjoying one another’s company for an unexpected and anticipated visit was quite refreshing. Though my spouse and I have for many years been able to visit in a very relaxed and unstructured way, this unplanned and alternate trip offered a new level of pleasure. Finding out about their morning without any preconceptions about how it was supposed to happen was quite satisfying. Dropping any pretenses and deciding where to lunch, as my parents don’t cook anymore at home, allowed us to go to a small neighboring restaurant called Carlos’. Rosy and Carlos, husband and wife, greeted my parents with hugs and pecked their cheeks with kisses. “How are you darling?” asked Dad. “Muy bien” was Rosy’s response. Good company, terrific food, and comforting conversation occurred. Rosy already knew the answer when she asked dad, “Quesadilla? The usual?” We returned home and heard of mom’s participation in a new bible study at church with details about the leader, who is a retired teacher that dad taught decades ago. She described the author and how to use the internet to find his books for the study. She uses Amazon to find the necessary numbers. After catching up on all the kids and spouses and jobs and especially getting updates and seeing the latest smartphone

photos of our grandkids (their great-grandkids), we decided to risk the heat and humidity for a walk in the neighborhood. After adjusting to lighter-weight clothes to allow for the stifling humidity, Mom asked Dad if he would use his walking stick. He told her he wouldn’t, and she decided to take hers anyway. We cut through the nextdoor neighbor’s yard, looking at the fire-pit and the flowers, and then took note of the vegetable garden. We slid along the fence. We moved single-file, duck between fencing and lilac bushes and crossing between yard statues. Smells and colors of floral harmony engulfed our senses. Birds wildly sang their choruses of tweets and trills, and we appreciated the wonder of creation. We almost lost track of the smothering humidity. Two children raced their bikes toward us and scrambled down the side street in front of us. Trees kept us in their canopies and kept the traffic noise to a low, muffled hum. “That house is a new, young neighbor who introduced himself,” we were told. “This is the sad house,” Mom shared. We learned that the neighbor was in shock and disbelief over the terrible and tragic accidental death of her thirteen-year-old grandson. Almost as if she somehow heard us walking nearby, her front door flew open, and she moved directly into my mother’s arms. “The faucet won’t turn off,” she quietly said as more tears slid from worn, exhausted eyes. My parents give her soft, soft words of care and prayer, touching her fragile soul as gently as possible. My parents live, give, exude comfort, even where no healing seems possible. “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He [Jesus] said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets” (Matthew 22:3640). In our nation and in the world, we live with joys and with tragedies. Each of us may ask of ourselves how we will live and face the great sorrows and great joys in living. How can we act to love our neighbors as ourselves? Will we?
