Girl Scout annual meeting scheduled

BRODHEAD — Last year, the Lower Sugar River Watershed Association (LSRWA) hosted a canoe trip on the lower scenic reach of the Sugar River, from Yale Bridge Road to the Pecatonica River in Illinois. This year, the LSRWA welcomes canoeists and kayakers to join us on a paddle of another section of the Sugar River on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 13. Participants will meet at the Headgates Park north of Brodhead at 1 p.m., to unload and shuttle vehicles to the end point at Clarence Bridge Park off Mt. Hope Road, just south of the Hwy. 81 bridge. Launch time is scheduled for 2 p.m., with an anticipated trip time of two and a half to three hours. The route will take participants down the Mill Race, where they will portage the Race spillway in Brodhead and continue down river to the takeout near Hwy. 81. Traveling through Brodhead, parts of the river in this section do have a remote feeling. The Mill Race at Brodhead has a unique history and character all its own. This man-made tributary was hand dug in the 1860s to provide water power for a mill, foundry, and later to generate electricity.

This trip is suitable for all paddlers except novices. If canoeing, children under 12 must be accompanied by two adult paddlers. All participants will be required to wear PFDs and will be asked to sign a waiver exempting the LSRWA of liability. Youth under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign the liability form. Pre-registration is required by emailing Meredith Tripp at mgtripp@icloud.com. There is a Registration Fee of $10 per watercraft. After emailing Meredith, participants will receive a map, more details, and information on how to pay the registration fee. Equipment to bring along: canoes or kayaks, paddles, life jackets, water, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, snacks, binoculars. There is no rain date, so rain or shine the trip is a go. The Lower Sugar River Watershed Association is a volunteer organization dedicated to the care and enjoyment of water resources. Visit the website or contact them to learn more about the organization and how to become a member and/or volunteer: info@lsrwa. org |http://www.lsrwa.org,, P.O. Box 256 Brodhead, WI 53520.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Like most people who have chosen to make Green County their home, I am extraordinarily proud of the rich farming heritage that has been the cultural foundation of this community for so long. However, I am deeply troubled by proposed plans for a CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation) to be built near Brodhead. CAFOs are agricultural operations where animals are kept and raised in confined situations, they congregate animals, feed, manure and urine, dead animals, and production operations on a small land area. This model of agriculture presents a serious threat to the environment and economy of Green County. CAFOs produce a staggering amount of animal sewage and pollutants every day. The amount of urine and feces produced by the smallest CAFO is equivalent to the quantity of urine and feces produced by 16,000 humans. However, unlike human waste, CAFO waste is almost never treated to reduce disease-causing pathogens (such as E.Coli and cryptosporidium), remove chemicals (such as milkhouse wastes, and chemicals used in livestock care), pharmaceuticals (such as hormones and antibiotics), heavy metals (such as copper sulfate which is used to clean cows’ hooves) or other pollutants (such as silage leachates). This waste almost inevitably runs off into local watersheds, pollutes groundwater, and is disastrous for air quality. Owners of CAFOs such as the Tuls family often argue

that the wastes produced by their livestock produce nutrients that help them offset the use of synthetic fertilizers; however the sheer amount of waste produced by confinement farms is unsustainable. Within a few years, it overwhelms the ability of the land and crops to absorb wastes, and pollutes surface and groundwater. Furthermore, this manure isn’t what most people typically think of when they think of cow patties at the fair. It is liquefied and mixed with a toxic slurry of industrial chemicals and stored in low oxygen lagoons, where the bacteria that typically work with oxygen to break down manure are replaced by smellier anaerobic bacteria. A drive past a CAFO will quickly acquaint you with the stench that these bacteria produce. Likewise, these manure lagoons contain millions of gallons of waste pose a serious risk of devastation to our watershed and local environment when they break or heavy rainstorms cause them to overflow. The cost of this pollution is passed directly to the community as taxpayers must pay to have these contaminants removed from city drinking water, rural residents are forced to buy drinking water, and property values plummet. Virtually every argument made in favor of CAFOs is based on their supposed economic benefits to rural communities. Research has shown that though CAFOs may generate profits for a few investors, they do not promote

rural economic development. According to the University of Missouri, “CAFO operators do business wherever they can get the best deal, which typically is not in the local community. They routinely place greater demands on local roads and bridges than they pay in local taxes. The few low-paying jobs go mostly to immigrants to the community, whose demands for new public services outweigh any additions to the local tax base.” CAFOs are resource-intensive and unsustainable, and their animal raising practices are not economically viable and cannot exist without heavy taxpayer subsidies. These subsidies undermine the ability of traditional livestock operations to compete because they are buoyed by farm policies that favor large producers. Though vast swaths of the Colorado, Nebraska, and California have been devastated by CAFOs, one doesn’t have to look far to see the effects of confinement farming. CAFOs in Kewaunee and Brown counties have rendered much of the water there undrinkable, deteriorated roads, polluted the air, eroded land and devalued property while simultaneously failing to bring in the number or type of jobs that they claim. The owners and operators of CAFOs will try to convince us that factory farming is the way of the future, and that we have no choice but to get with the times. Research shows that this is decidedly untrue. Recent studies from the U.S.

Department of Agriculture indicate that “smart” pasture operations such as managed intensive rotational grazing (MIRG) can produce milk at a cost similar to confined dairy operations, but with added environmental benefits. Similarly, small and medium sized operations avoid or reduce many of the external costs of CAFOs that we as neighbors and taxpayers are forced to take on. Unfortunately, numerous examples from around the state and across the country have shown that state laws and environmental regulations aren’t going to protect us. If this isn’t the model of agriculture we want for our region, citizens are going to have to stand up to protect our community, our environment and our economy while we are still lucky enough to enjoy clean air, clean water, scenic landscapes and a caring community. Please contact your town county and state officials and ask them to create regulations and ordinances that are unfavorable to CAFOs and visit Green County Defending our Farmland on Facebook to get involved. For years, farms in Green County have shown that we can produce some of the finest dairy products in the world, while caring for the land and people that make itpossible; we can do better than factory farms.

We so appreciated the article in last week’s Independent Register concerning “boards on the dam,” written by Rich Vogel. It was informative and educational and contained a fair analysis of the plight of all concerned, including the future of the Lake itself. It is obvious Mr. Vogel has first-hand knowledge of the current “state of the lake’ and Mill Race, and it is good to know he is faithfully “standing his watch” in service to our community. For this we should at least give the man a “well deserved” At-A-Boy! David and Janice Berding Brodhead (Decatur Township)

Be aware of driveway maintenance scams ROCK COUNTY — The Rock County Sheriff’s Office is reminding all citizens to be cautious of companies soliciting home maintenance services such as driveway sealing. While the Sheriff’s Office has not received recent complaints of fraud, complaints have been generated out of Lafayette and Green Counties. Sheriff Spoden reminds county residents to be vigilant when companies come to their homes and solicit business. Do not contract with companies if you are unsure of their legitimacy.

A case of rabies is confirmed in Rock County ROCK COUNTY — MarieNoel Sandoval, Public Health Officer with the Rock County Health Department, has announced that one bat submitted to the State Lab of Hygiene has tested positive for rabies. “The positive rabies result is a reminder that this fatal disease is present in our community’s wildlife. The public should be aware of what rabies is and how it is spread” states Sandoval. A group of children discovered and handled a sick bat, resulting in six of them requiring treatment for rabies exposure. Rabies is an infectious disease that affects the nervous system of humans and other mammals. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people contract rabies from a bite of an animal with rabies (a rabid animal). Wild mammals such as raccoons, skunks, foxes and coyotes can all transmit rabies, but it is the bat that transmits the most human cases of rabies in the United States. Rabies is a fatal disease, but it can be treated if those that are bitten seek medical advice immediately. Treatment includes one dose of immune globulin and five doses of rabies vaccine over a 28-day period. Bat exposures can occur in a home where the animal has entered through small openings in screens, around chimney caps, underneath door gaps or in any hole larger than a quarter-inch by half-inch. It is therefore important to “bat proof” your house. Young chil-

dren may also come across injured or young bats outdoors. They should be taught not to touch bats, as bites may result. If you find a bat in your home, it is important to seek advice from the health department as to the correct course of action. This is because very young children may not even know they have been bitten. Sandoval also reminds pet owners to have their animals vaccinated against rabies. She says that even though you think you have an indoor pet, bats can still bite cats and dogs when they invade homes. “Exposure of cats to bats is fairly common,” she adds. If you suspect your pet has been exposed to a bat, contact the health department for advice. As with many illnesses, rabies can be prevented. Follow these important tips: First and foremost, teach children to never handle bats or other wild animals; Always be wary of animals that are acting out of character, such as a raccoon that is out during the day; Thoroughly wash any wound from an animal with soap and water and seek medical attention; Have all dead, sick or easily captured bats tested for rabies if exposure to people or pets occurs; Prevent bats from entering living quarters; Finally, be a responsible pet owner and keep your animals vaccinated. For more information on rabies, contact the Rock County Health Department at 608757-5440 or 608-364-2010 or visit the department’s web site at http://www.co.rock.wi.us/ health-rabies

Donate blood through the Red Cross in final weeks of summer STATEWIDE — The American Red Cross urges blood donors to give in the final weeks of summer to help prevent a blood shortage. Blood donations often decline in August as final summer vacations are planned and back-toschool activities ramp up. On average, during the summer months, about two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what is needed. Donations are needed now to help ensure blood is available for patients in need. Donors with types AB, O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially encouraged to donate. Plasma from type AB donors can be transfused to patients of any blood type, as can type O negative blood. Type B negative and A negative blood can be transfused to Rh-positive or negative patients. These are the most in demand blood types and are in constant need. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Upcoming area blood donation opportunities include: In Green County – Aug. 31, in Monroe from 10:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., at the Monroe Clinic Hospital, 515 22nd Ave. In Rock County – Aug. 25, in

Beloit at the Beloit Community Center, 340 W. Grand Ave. from 1 – 6 p.m.; In Janesville: Aug. 19, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., at Hedberg Public Library, 316 S. Main Street, and on Aug. 24, from 1 to 6 p.m., at Marian Hall, 1238 Racine Street. Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors in the BadgerHawkeye Blood Services Region can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site.

TIPS FOR SAFE GRILLING

Never squirt starter fluid on smoldering charcoal; this can cause dangerous flare-ups. Keep a squirt bottle of water nearby. Clean the surface of the grill of old food and heat the grill before use to reduce exposure to bacteria. Avoid charring meats because this can cause the formation of cancer-causing agents. Marinate foods in the refrigerator, not the counter. Marinating meats also reduces possible carcinogens. Never mix uncooked meats with cooked meats. Never reuse utensils and platters that have come into contact with raw meat, seafood, or poultry without cleaning them with hot water and soap.

RECAP garden open house Aug. 19 ROCK COUNTY — On Wednesday, Aug. 19, the Rock County Sheriff’s Office RECAP Garden Project will host its annual Open House from 4 to 7 p.m. The RECAP Garden has been in operation for nearly 24 years and provides educational services to RECAP participants, while also providing produce to local food pantries and organizations throughout Rock County. The RECAP inmates put in thousands of hours each year tending to and harvesting produce from the garden and are very proud of the work they do to give back to the community. This year alone, 2,456 hours have been spent tending to the garden.

Governor’s Council was reported to be “a good meeting,” by Connie Gregorson. The admistrative staff reports started with superintendent Steven Guenther reporting that they “Completed the interview process for all teachers. We hit this one out of the park. We had the best candidates we have ever had.” He also reported on BYOC (Build Your Own Curriculum). It is neat because you “can collaborate with other schools.” For example, if you were doing a unit on the Civil War, you could find out what they are doing across the nation on this. He also reported on PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention System) which is schoolwide. He noted that registration was finished and went very well, but turnot was down by aboune one-half. Guenther was impressed with how many people came with paperwork done. All the teachers and new teachers have been matched with a mentor. The salaries of support staff was discussed. They are currently paid $9.50 an hour, whereas Monroe pays $10 an hour. Some members of the community center came to share the idea of a buddy system

partrnering a younger child with an older sibling or designated buddy to go with them if they get in trouble. Becky Mather brought up questions about liability; the need to be within regulation about how many kids are with an adult. It was then said that the school community center does not need to follow designated regulation. It was still suggested that high school students be hired to help with the kid to teacher ratio. A ‘Back To School Night’ flyer was presented by custodian Dena Laughlin. The food will be roast beef, pork chops, subs, salads, chicken, pies and cookies. Each of these are donated by a diferent business. For the night “bring your own school supplies, set up your lockers, meet teachers, get a bite to eat and have fun.” Guenther mentioned that there was a man interested in making a logo for the school. Ed Maksym indicated that any new logo should include the comet. Maksym presented a Building and Grounds Committee update. He noted that all summer clearning tasks were completed and that the three students working this summer did a very good job.

tion of Local Health Departments and Boards (WALHDAB) Annual Conference.

Food preservation and canning workshop Aug. 29 MONROE — “Preserving food from your garden or orchard can be a good way to combat the rising prices of food at the grocery,” says Bridget Mouchon-Humphrey, UW-Extension Family Living Agent. “But be sure to follow research-tested recipes for safe, high quality food that your family will enjoy.” Recipes that are not precise, that call for “a pinch” of this ingredient or “a pinch” of that ingredient; recipes that are not tested in a laboratory; or those that contain outdated or inaccurate canning information, can result in products that may be unsafe to consume. Mouchon-Humphreyoffers three general guidelines for safe food preservation: Inspect and repair any food preservation equipment. Inspect canners or food dehydrators to make sure all equipment is in working condition. Canning jars that use two-piece, self-sealing metal lids are recommended for home canning. Jars should be free of nicks or scratches. A “must” every canning season is new flat lids. Metal screw bands that are not bent or rusted can be reused. Have dial-gauge pressure canners tested for

accuracy. A pressure canner is essential for canning low-acid vegetables, meats, fish and poultry. Pressure canners come with either a dialgauge or a weighted-gauge. Dial-gauge pressure canners should be tested each year for accuracy. You can call ahead to the Green County Extension office, 328-9440 and set up an appointment to have your dial-gauge tested for free, Always follow an up-to-date tested recipe from a reliable source. This is perhaps the most important step in preparing for home food preservation, according to Mouchon-Humphrey. Cookbooks and old family recipes are not reliable sources of research-tested recipes. The UWExtension office can help you find recipes that will ensure you are canning safe, high quality foods. Sign up now for a hands-on food preservation workshop to be held on Saturday, Aug. 29, from 8:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. in the Monroe United Methodist Church kitchen. There will be a $30 charge which will cover expenses for food, jars and other materials ($10 if a member of 4-H).Call 328-9440 by Aug. 21, to reserve a spot.

Update on continuing work on the Sugar River By Frank Kapel L.W.S.R.I.A.

SUGAR RIVER — After another brutal winter and a spring with monsoon rains and below normal temperatures that extended through most of June, we welcome the warm summer weather with the hopes that it will not be cut short by an early Autumn. Regardless of the weather, folks love to get out on the Sugar River and its small man-made lakes like Lake Winnetka. Kayakers, canoeists, and tubers have been observed paddling down the river in torrential rains and unseasonably cool temperatures. It’s become quite apparent that regardless of the weather folks love getting out on the Sugar River. Sugar River Cleanup - On May 16, the Lake Winnetka - Sugar River Improvement Association (L.W.S.R.I.A.) organized the 21 annual Sugar River Cleanup. This was the second year that the group teamed up with members of the Decatur Lake Millrace Association (D.L.M.R.A.) and the Lower Sugar River Watershed Association (L.S.R.W.A.). With the involvement of multiple associations there were over 100 folks cleaning up the river that day starting from County Rt. X bridge about halfway between Dayton and Attica on the Big Sugar River and down from Schneeberger Road on the Little Sugar River. They continued through Albany’s Lake Winnetka and Brodhead’s Decatur Lake all the way to the Nelson Road Bridge near Avon Bottoms. This was the longest stretch of Sugar River ever covered at the Sugar River Cleanup and as the cleanup grows each year we intend to cover even more. Special thanks go to the Sweet Minnehaha and Crazy Horse Campgrounds along with S & B tubing for use of canoes and for providing shuttle service. Also thanks to the Albany Mini Mart, Brewers Center Tap and the Dam Near Home Bar and Grill in Albany, Gempler’s Market in Monticello, and Piggly Wiggly in Brodhead for food and beverage supplies. Thanks to the DNR for the dumpster to handle the trash, to the Albany American Legion for the use of their building and to the Albany Police and Fire Dept. for supplying volunteers and having staff assigned in case of an emergency. Being that originally this river cleanup only encompassed the Albany area and areas up stream of Albany and the fact that these areas have been annually cleaned up for more than 20 years there

is not really much trash found up there anymore. Most of the trash in the river is found downstream of Albany. Upstream the majority of the work done is involved with creating a navigable path through fallen trees in the river. Downstream of the Albany bridge to Decatur Lake the opposite is true as very little tree work is necessary but much more trash pickup is done. From Decatur Lake to Avon Bottoms both trash pickup and tree work is being done because much of this area is being worked on for the first time. Most of the trash items found this year were of the typical nature with food and beverage containers taking the lead. Tires, shelving, lawn chairs and a television were also found. A Bike Ride Across America to Help raise funds for Sugar River projects - With our group (the L.W.S.R.I.A.) now working together on many projects with the D.L.M.R.A., we have become acquainted with a couple that is extremely dedicated to maintaining and improving various aspects of the Sugar River and its surrounding watershed. John and Jaine Winters of the D.L.M.R.A. have just completed a bicycle ride across America from the Golden Gate Bridge to Kitty Hawk N.C. This 4,000 mile Pacific to Atlantic bicycle trip was done as a fund-raiser to raise money for projects on the Sugar River and its surrounding watershed. More about this exciting adventure can be found at http://www.pearlislandamerica.org/ and https://www. facebook.com/pearlislandusa On this website there is also a nice video entitled “Pearl Island River Cleanup” which shows a portion of the work that was accomplished at the Sugar River Cleanup on May 16. W.A.V. Program - Another new venture that the L.W.S.R.I.A. is involved with is the Water Action Volunteer (W.A.V.) program. Members of the D.L.M.R.A. & L.S.R.W.A. are also participants in this program. This program is a cooperative venture between our respective organizations, the D.N.R. and the University of Wisconsin Extension. The time commitment for our volunteers is a couple of hours, once a month, from May through October. The aim is to monitor the streams that flow into the Sugar River, measuring the water temperature, saturated oxygen, water flow, turbidity, phosphorus levels, salinity and other indicators of the health of the watershed. These figures are sent to the UW-Extension, which works together with the D.N.R. #IDNCWZ

BEFORE CLEANING

to design strategies for those in the watershed to improve their practices which impact the quality of the river. Four streams in the Albany area have been identified for the study, and monitoring on these streams has begun. Depending on the results of the study the Sugar River can become eligible for grants to help with water quality improvements that in turn will help the fishery. Embrace the Race - Another recent event on the Sugar River that had L.W.S.R.I.A. participation was D.L.M.R.A.’s “Embrace the Race” pontoon boat rides from the dam on the Mill Race where the Old Powerhouse once was all the way up to the Head Gates by Decatur Lake and back. This event was held as part of Brodhead’s “Covered Bridge Days” event. Proceeds from the boat rides will go toward projects on the Decatur Lake Mill Race which is part of the Sugar River. It’s really fantastic that members of multiple associations like the L.W.S.R.I.A., D.L.M.R.A. and the L.S.R.W.A. are working together on various projects up and down the river with a Common Goal in mind. Albany Boat Ramp Improvements - Over the years L.W.S.R.I.A. members who are also residents in Albany on Lake Winnetka are often questioned by folks who come to town to get on the lake and river as to whether the town is considering making improvements to the boat ramp, specifically adding a pier. Many locals have grown accustomed to launching and retrieving our boats without having a pier to secure them to while parking our vehicle and trailer. But after witnessing a few incidents of “float away boats” it has become obvious that having a pier at the ramp, like other towns do, might just be a good thing. This is especially true in Albany because there can be a pretty good river current at the ramp that could float a boat to the dam in little time. The L.W.S.R.I.A. has inquired with the Village of Albany as to the possibility of a pier being installed and learned that many years ago there was indeed a pier at the ramp which got washed out and that a new one is now on the agenda as part of the downtown revitalization project. The L.W.S.R.I.A. will continue to work with the village with the hopes that a new pier will be installed at the boat ramp for the 2016 Lake Winnetka boating season. Carp Control and Fishery Improvement - Work continues to control the Carp population in the Sugar River. Members of both the L.W.S.R.I.A. & D.L.M.R.A. have been researching ways of reducing the populations of Carp in our river & lakes including the possibility of bringing in a commercial Carp fishing operation.

Once there is a noticeable reduction in Carp populations the next step in improving the fishery will be to stock Game Fish that are native to the river. Albany’s Annual Labor Day Weekend Carp-O-Rama - As part of the association’s efforts to control Carp and improve the fishery they will once again be holding the annual Carp Fishing contest on Labor Day weekend. Prizes will be awarded for the most Carp caught starting with a $50 first prize, a $25 second prize and third, fourth, and fifth place prizes consisting of cash or merchandise. There will also be an additional $50 prize for the contestant with the largest Carp caught determined by weight. This gives folks two chances at winning $50 or even the possibility of winning both $50 prizes. Fishing can be done by rod and reel, spear or bow fishing. No registration is required but a valid Wisconsin fishing license is required. Fish must be caught in the Lake Winnetka area of the Sugar River which starts at the top of the Albany dam and goes up stream to the confluence of the Big and Little Sugar Rivers.

Start fishing on Friday, Sept. 4.. Fish through the weekend and turn in the catch for judging at 1p.m. on Labor Day Monday, Sept. 7, at the Albany boat ramp across from the American Legion Hall.
