‘Barefoot Options’ topic of trail group’s seminar Future winter series seminar will cover correct bits for discipline “My goal is a healthy horse,” stated Jeannie Wright, Wright Hoof Care, at a recent seminar on barefoot hoof care sponsored by Southern Kettle Moraine Horse Trail Association. Wright, who has been trimming horses since 2007, reviewed the features of a healthy, functional hoof, which include a well-developed frog; concavity; a thick, smooth hoof wall, and good lamellar attachment. Hoof flexion is important as a horse steps, Wright said, explaining that flexion drives blood flow to the hoof and absorbs concussion, which is difficult to achieve with metal shoes on the hoof. “Barefoot does not mean just a hoof without a shoe,” she continued. “A good barefoot trim promotes blood flow to provide cushioning; concavity and quarter relief SUBMITTED PHOTO Elkhorn Independent

Lake Lawn Resort will host an evening of food, dancing and vintage tunes during its Swing into Spring Big Band Dance on March 22. The event will include a live performance by In the Mood, a sit-down dinner and an open dance floor. After hosting Lawrence Welk and other entertainers in the 1940s and ‘50s, Lake Lawn revived its big-band tradition last year with its first big-band weekend. “After such a long and harsh winter, we’re happy to mark the official start of spring with our Swing into Spring

for flexion and contraction; and allows the sole, frog and hoof wall to play their parts in properly supporting the horse.” Proper nutrition and environment also play a role in a healthy hoof. Wright recommended a low-starch diet, exercise, trimming and proper terrain to help callusing and acclimating hooves as important in coaxing out the best hoof in a horse. She also noted that hoof boots are helpful for horses with sore or laminitic feet, when transitioning out of shoes, and when riding or working on different terrain or for a longer than normal period of time. More information on hoof boots is available at www. easycareinc.com and www. wrighthoofcare.com. The next seminar in SK-

Aurora named by Truven as one of nation’s Top 100 A little extra positive recognition came at a great time for Aurora Health Care last week. Aurora Memorial Hospital of Burlington was recognized by Truven Health Analytics Friday as one of the nation’s “Top 100.” The award – given to 20 hospitals in each of five categories – is based on a national scorecard, which measures hospital performance across 10 areas. Those areas include mortality, inpatient complications, patient safety, average patient stay, expenses, profitability,

patient satisfaction, adherence to clinical standards of care and post-discharge moraility and readmission rates for heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia. The study has been conducted annual since 1993. Aurora had two hospitals make the list this year, the other being Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center. “I think it is a big deal,” explained Lisa Just, President of the Burlington/Walworth market. “Any time that you have a leading provider – Truven being an analytical organization … to have that recognition of achieving that is a big deal.”

River Falls Area Hospital Bradley Donald Sukowatey was born on Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2013, to Trisha and Daniel Sukowatey of Elmwood. Also welcomed by grandparents, Thomas and Heidi Sukowatey of Elmwood, and Walter and Susan Bradley of Lanesboro, Minn. Hudson Hospital Bentley Marrick Morgan was born Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2013, to Kylie Taplin and Dillon Morgan of Woodville. Also welcomed by grandparents, Bruce and Bobbi Zignego of Elmwood, the late Barry Taplin and Sue of Ellsworth, Marrick Morgan of Eau Galle, Janet and Bill Janousek of Elmwood, and great grandparents, Ken Schingledecker of Esdaile, Joyce Schingeldecker of Ellsworth and Robert Morgan of Eastman.

Food drives hosted by credit union P R E S C O T T — WESTconsin Credit Union offices are collecting non-perishable food products, blankets and cash donations for those less fortunate from now until Wednesday, Dec. 18. Items can be dropped off at any of the credit union’s locations, including Prescott and Spring Valley. All proceeds will be delivered by the credit union to local food pantries for distribution. Monetary donations are especially valuable because for

every $1 in cash, food pantries can purchase up to $10 worth of food. The number of families in need has increased substantially in recent years, leaving food shelves less stocked than in the past. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 39,714 people in the 14 counties of West Central Wisconsin live in poverty, with 60 percent of them being children or elderly. Blankets are especially needed this year and will also be collected and donated to the Spring Valley Food Pantry.

Help PCHA solve a mystery The Pierce County Historical Association (PCHA) has something of a mystery (or is it lost information?) to solve. In 1898, a “small war” occurred—the SpanishAmerican War. It is known that a few good men—how many seems to be the problem—from Pierce County served in that war. The issue is who were they? Were there any casualties? The residents of Pierce County are being asked

because any concrete records of said service are hard, if not impossible, or very time-consuming to find. Hence, the PCHA is asking descendants of those who may have served to be of assistance. Please, if a member of the family was in the military during that war, send their names and branch of service to the PCHA. Mail the information to: PCHA, P.O. Box 148, Ellsworth, WI 54011.

Old Habits It is said that old habits die hard. I guess it’s true with me and sending Christmas cards. I have always loved to send greetings to family and friends, and still do. My Christmas card list consists of the bundle of cards kept from the previous Christmas. I always save the photos that accompany them from year to year and it’s interesting to see how the children in the photos have grown and changed. So I get “double the pleasure” looking at them all again. Sadly, it seems each year I remember someone who is no longer here. I have missed seeing my friend Carole’s beautiful handwriting and the warm message she used to include.

Park Square brings a big splash of Ira Gershwin to the holiday entertainment season with “Words by Ira Gershwin and the Great American Songbook” on stage now through Sunday, Dec. 29. Ellsworth native Jennifer Grimm portrays the Chanteuse. This new work by Joseph Vass is a song-filled reminiscence exploring the creative life and unforgettable lyrics of Gershwin. Vass’ “The Soul of Gershwin”—about the life and musical influences of his brother, George Gershwin—set attendance records in 2011 and earned Vass an Ivey Award for exceptional music direction. This play with music (lots of music!) is about the creative process. “Ira Gershwin could write

Information on deer hunting in state parks may be found at dnr.wi.gov, keywords: ‘’hunting state parks’. Wildlife biologists said deer hunters might want to monitor the progress of local wild foods eaten by deer, such as acorns, hazelnuts and berries. It appears that lingering effects from last year’s drought, a slow start to this year’s growing season and heavy June rainfalls have affected many highly sought after deer foods. Check your hunting area often to monitor food production and subsequent deer use.

accept your deer. Some counties with metro deer management units may be accepting deer until the end of the metro unit hunts. Check locally with a participating processor. 4). Donate the entire deer to receive the processing for free. (Head and/or antlers may be removed for mounting.) Please handle the carcass as if it were destined for your own table. A couple bags of ice placed in the cavity will help preserve the carcass in warm weather. 5). When dropping your deer off at a processor, please sign the simple log sheet indicating your desire to donate the deer. We’ll do the rest. The donated deer will be processed and the venison will be distributed to charitable organizations to help feed Wisconsin’s needy. Hunters should also consider switching to non-toxic ammunition as even a very small amount of lead in a deer carcass is toxic to humans and wildlife Page 22 of the Deer Hunting Regulations booklet lists recommendations to reduce the risk of lead in venison and also lists links on where to find copper bullets and non-toxic ammunition for hunting.

Wisconsin Rapids area wildlife supervisor Kris Johansen notes that a fair amount of commercial timber harvesting in deer management units 55 and 58 may change the look the landscape and the movements of deer. The timber harvests should provide significantly improved habitat for deer and for other wildlife species that depend on young forests. Johansen said the DNR will ask deer hunters to assist with CWD monitoring in Portage, Juneau and Adams Counties. This fatal disease of deer and elk was newly discovered in these counties last fall. In an effort to better understand the disease’s distribution, DNR staff will be collecting tissue samples from hunter-harvested deer throughout the archery

The Wildlife Damage Deer Donation program will be continuing Wisconsin’s autumn tradition. Since the program began in 2000, hunters have donated over 83,000 deer which were processed into over 3.7 million pounds of ground venison. Wisconsin has a network of venison donation efforts including: Hunt for the Hungry, which operates in the Green Bay area; Target Hunger, which handles donations from the Chronic Wasting Disease Management Zone; and the Wisconsin Deer Donation Program, which covers all remaining areas of the state. USDA - Wildlife Services staff also help administer the programs in 49 counties. Hunters, you can help feed needy people throughout Wisconsin this fall by taking 5 simple steps. 1).Donate any legally harvested deer taken outside the CWD management zone by dropping it off at a participating processor by Saturday, February 1, 2014. Deer taken outside the CWD zone are registered with a silver metal tag, and only deer with silver tags may be donated to these processors. Deer taken within the CWD management zone are registered with a red metal tag and must be brought to a participating processor within the CWD management zone to be donated. In Pierce County, participating processors are Pierce County Meats (715) 273-4741 460 E Wall St, in East Ellsworth and Ptacek’s IGA (715) 262-5636 1449 Orrin Rd, Prescott. 2).

Dave Matheys, Department of Natural Resources, 2013 State Hunting Forecast Despite a late winter, cold damp spring and scattered winter mortality in several of the 19 counties that make up the west central district (including Pierce County), deer numbers across the region are doing well. Most wildlife biologists believe that overall deer numbers should be on par with last year if not higher. Of the district’s 30 deer management units, 22 have deer populations that exceed overwinter goals and these will have a herd control framework to help hunters manage deer in their units. The remaining eight units have deer populations closer to their overwinter goals and will have a regular season framework, meaning that hunters need to purchase a tag for their specific unit in order to be able to harvest an antlerless deer. Jess Carstens, wildlife biologist for Dunn and Pepin Counties, said that with the 2013 gun deer season occurring late in November, deer activity will likely be different than during last year’s earlier season. Deer should be plentiful in these two counties. Black River Falls wildlife supervisor Tim Babros said deer are abundant in Buffalo and Trempealeau counties. Many twin fawns are being reported even though the area experienced a prolonged winter and late spring. Deer numbers should be excellent for fall hunting seasons. The central forest deer management units ‘ continuing into Monroe, Juneau and Adams counties ‘ are experiencing deer population increases which should be noticeable to hunters. Spring turkey hunters, bear hunters and other recreationalists report many deer observations in these areas.

2013 Get Ready to Hunt

Area wardens affirm — rifles permitted for this year’s gun-deer season By Steve Dzubay, River Falls Journal Warden Brad Peterson says he’s been getting calls from Pierce County sportsmen daily, wanting to verify whether they can swap their shotguns for rifles this year. It is true, said Peterson. During one of its sessions this past summer, the Wisconsin Legislature approved a provision expanding use of rifles to all 72 Wisconsin counties after Nov. 1. Although hunters have long been allowed to use high-powered rifles for coyote hunting and .22 rimfire rifles for small game, Peterson said it will represent a major change for the nine-day gun-deer season, and subsequent 10-day muzzleloader season and four-day antlerless hunt. “Ultimately, it all comes down to each hunter being aware of the four safety rules (especially), ‘knowing your target and beyond,’” said Peterson. Contrary to popular assumption, rifles aren’t necessarily more dangerous than the slugequipped shotguns area hunters have used in Pierce for more than 25 years, he said. The large shotgun slugs are more prone to ricochet than higher-velocity rifled bullets. Peterson recalled an incident

he investigated on Thanksgiving Day some years back where a ricocheted slug traveled 888 yards and penetrated exterior and interior walls of house before lodging in a bathroom vanity. Someone had left the room only moments earlier but no one was injured. Generally, rifles are more accurate than shotguns and “one well-placed shot” may result in fewer shots fired and less wounded or lost game, said Peterson.

Rifle-use has been allowed in portions of St. Croix County for many years, said Warden Paul Sickman, who has also been receiving lots of calls from hunters and landowners seeking verification on the issue. Many inquiries focus on whether the rifle rule applies to hunting in the “M” or Metro Unit 60, roughly bounded by Hwy. 29 south of River Falls, CTH F and Hwy. 35 in St. Croix County. Rifle use will be permitted in the Metro zones as

well, said Sickman. Peterson said the law change wasn’t driven by the perception that rifles are more effective at killing deer, rather, to simplify regulations about what type of weapons are allowed where. In nearby Pepin and Buffalo counties, for example, rifle use has long been allowed, but cross a road into Pierce County it became shotgun-only. In St. Croix, Sickman said rifles had been permitted north of Hwy. 64 and east of Hwy. 128 over to Hwy. 70. They’ve also been used for bear and coyote hunting for years. Sickman couldn’t recall any situations were ricocheting slugs had been an issue but did

investigate an incident where a hunter lost a finger when his rifle discharged while the individual was holding his hand over the barrel. Rifle-use could only be banned in a township if a local ordinance has been enacted by town officials. Neither Peterson nor Sickman are aware of any towns that have drafted or implemented such restrictions and Sickman speculated that “it’s probably too late” to initiate for this season. Sickman encouraged hunters to abide by the “TAB-K” rules taught in all Hunter Education classes today: T = Treat every firearm as if it is loaded. A = Always point the muzzle in a

safe direction. B = Be certain of your target and what’s beyond it. K = Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot. Shooting ranges at several area gun clubs offer hours open to the public to sight-in rifles. Hudson Rod, Gun & Archery Club, www.hudsongunclub.com, is open to the public for sight-in between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., every Sunday through Nov. 17., as well as several Saturdays. Cost is $7 per gun.

DNR News Service MADISON – Hunters who are able to recruit three new people into hunting would be eligible for a half price license the following year, under a new Department of Natural Resources program that seeks to encourage active hunters to introduce new people to hunting. “Becoming a mentor may take a year to accomplish. However, it comes with immediate – as well as lifetime – rewards,” said Keith Warnke, DNR hunting and shooting sports coordinator. Warnke says if three new hunters list a mentor as their

DNR News Service MADISON — For hunters looking to take part in next spring’s turkey season, finding available land can be difficult. A new Department of Natural Resources program known as the Turkey Hunting Access Program, “THAP,” is aimed at making that easier. “Both landowners and hunters can benefit from this pilot program aimed at opening

“recruiter,” the mentor may receive a license of his or her choice at half-cost the next license year. Apprentices can purchase a first-time hunter’s license for $5. The mentor then provides his or her DNR customer identification number to the apprentices and has them call DNR at 888-936-7463. The apprentices simply give the mentor’s identification number as the person who recruited them. “If you accumulate three recruiter points, you receive a half-price license for you next year,” Warnke says. “New hunting partners can

become friends for a lifetime,” Warnke said, adding mentors can suggest the opportunity to family members, co-workers and friends. “And it is a great way to share the state’s hunting heritage.” Warnke says those who are interested in hunting but don’t know how to start also can use the rewards program. “Ask a friend to take you hunting and explain this program,” he says. “There are hunters who can help you. And now it’s easy to reward them for their time.” For more information on mentoring hunters, search the DNR website for “mentored hunting.”

BIRTHS Mayo Cinic Health System, Red Wing Jude Laurence Borner was born on June 27, 2014, to Anika and Andrew Borner of Ellsworth, weighing 10 pounds, six ounces and 21.5 inches long. Also welcomed by big brothers, Ezra and Ashton, and grandparents, Steve and Roxie Thoner of Ellsworth and Gordon and Julie Borner of Beldenville.

My Mom always made good sense, had great faith and always shared it, especially in her writings. She wrote the following little article almost 50 years ago, but it is so relevant still today. When she lived next door to us in her mobile home, she became a friend to each and every pet we had. This one is about a little beagle belonging to our son. POKEY Last week, “Pokey,” the little beagle pup, was run over. Although he lived, his injuries are numerous and painful. He voices his discomfort in his out-size beagle voice. This is his fourth brush with death. When very small, he was bumped and battered by a motorcycle. Later, he was viciously bitten by a huge dog. Still later, he was lost in the woods for several hours, coming home hot and wobbly from fatigue. Each time, he was petted and loved. Each time, we were so happy he survived. Each time, we hoped he had learned a lesson. However, when he was back on his feet…the road held the same fascination. No amount of scolding made an impression. Even threatening him proved useless. He seemed bent on self-destruc-

----- Ina Murray ----tion… As I petted and comforted the shivering little creature, it struck me that we humans are much like Pokey. Forgetting old hurts in pursuit of our own pleasures, we ignore God’s warnings. Heedless of the consequences, we take that beckoning road for our own selfgratification. Over and over, God forgives us, comforts our hurts. And no matter how ungrateful we are…how irresponsible we live our lives…when we come crawling back to Him, God forgives, and loves us always! ****** Another of Mom’s musings really spoke to me: She must have been about

my age when she wrote it since sometimes we old people, too, feel that our words are so very unimportant that they are not heard. “I DIDN’T HEAR” Is there anything more baffling than being told…with a blank stare…”I didn’t know! You didn’t tell me!”…When you know full well that you HAVE? Perhaps several times. These are the times when we feel as though our speech is inaudible, no matter how busily the tongue wags. Our bit of news, or request, may be trivial, but our desire to be HEARD is not. Knowing that our very words are ignored is truly frustrating and we wonder how we can be better heard. How, then, must God feel when we ignore Him and His words? He speaks to us constantly, not alone in the Bible, but in all of His creations! The earth, the seas, the skies, birds, flowers, all of it, tell of Him! Still, we look blank or say “I didn’t know… you didn’t tell me.” Lord, remind us to listen when You speak, and to respond to Your words. Don’t let God’s voice be inaudible! * * * * * **

Sleigh’s gift to history group PRESCOTT—A sleigh in which Prescott’s Dr. Howard Laney used to make house calls in Prescott and the surrounding area is the latest donation to the history center on Main Street. The Bill Nork family was the kind people who donated this beautiful artifact. The sleigh and its use by the historical group was a topic of discussion at the June 17 Prescott Area Historical

Association (PAHS) meeting. Plans are to feature the sleigh on a float in this year’s Sunday Prescott Daze Parade. In the meantime, the sleigh is on display at the Welcome and Heritage Center on Broad Street. “We are sending out a call to anyone who recalls having Dr. Laney use the sleigh for winter house calls,” PAHS President Dallas Eggers said. “Dr. Laney came to Prescott in the mid-1930s and was the community doctor for many decades, and is especially remembered for his making house calls.” If anyone has such information, they may

call Mary Beeler at 715-2624722. The Laney family has been contacted through Dr. Laney’s daughter, Trish, a Hastings, Minn., resident. They are investigating memories the family has of the sleigh and will get back. A possible Prescott Daze informational contribution is hoped for. Prescott area residents are urged to join this group, which began in the 1940s. The history group has a continual display at the Welcome and Heritage Center at the north end of Broad Street. Stop and visit. It is next to the beautiful restoration of the Prescott School

clock that was saved from the 1935 fire. Past PAHS President Jerry Voje has poured countless hours into the repair, maintenance and upkeep of the clock, and it faithfully keeps accurate time. A true work of art. The PAHS focuses on the 175-year history of the community and surrounding area. The goal is to make the PAHS a more visible and contributing part of the community. The Prescott Area Historical Society is a chapter of the Pierce County Historical Association. For member information, call Mary Beeler at 715-262-4722 or Dallas Eggers at 715-262-3113.

Confirmation Sunday On Sunday, the confirmation class at Our Savior’s will re-affirm their baptismal vows that were made on their behalf so many years ago. Granddaughter Chloe Jo will be one of them, and it’s hard to believe so many years have passed. I keep these young people in my prayers, especially since I think it is a hard age to be. The ages from 13 to about 17 are such a transition time. They are pretty much wrapped up in themselves and they want to think they are pretty grown up. But they really aren’t. I can remember what it was like for me…..torn between sewing doll clothes and beginning to notice boys. The extra prayers and support of a

----- Ina Murray ----church family helps to keep them grounded but, even then, often after confirmation some feel that their spiritual education is finished (some of mine too) and drift away for a while.

Thankfully not all, but some. Often, when they grow older, marry and have children of their own, they return because they want that for their children too. To me, the years of preparation classes and the rite of confirmation are very important. Even if they do drift away for a time, they carry with them the reminder that they have renewed the promises made for them on their baptism day. They know in their hearts that they are children of God and hopefully will live their lives reflecting that. God Bless these children, the Pastors and Amy Matzek, who has been a dedicated spiritual influence in their lives. * * * * * ***

PC students join in ‘Reality Check’ program

Post’s award-winning art work. (Submitted photos)

DPI award winner Kyla Post, a senior at Ellsworth High School, recently won the state Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Award at the State Capitol Youth Art Month Show in Madison. March is Youth Art Month in Wisconsin and, to celebrate this, there is an annual art show at the state capitol in Madison. Art work from all around the state is on display at this show. This year, the DPI selected two award-winning pieces of art work out of the entire show, which will be professionally framed and put on display at the DPI, then returned to the artist. Congratulations Kyla!

PLUM CITY—Earlier this month, Plum City High School juniors were invited to participate in the Reality Check Simulation held in Durand this year. The program simulates one month of “real life” for a mid-20-year-old. Each student enters the event with a paycheck based on their chosen career, sets up a checking account and goes through more than 30 stations which are staffed by adult volunteers from area businesses, organizations, agencies and many concerned individuals. Students had the challenge of “making ends meet” for one month and must do so successfully before completing the event.

Nanette Murray, Plum City Business Education Teacher, said: “I feel this situation is a huge eye-opener for the students and I believe the students get a lot out of the event. Most of the students enjoyed the simulation and learned many life skills.” Murray said a couple of students didn’t like it and, when asked why, they said it was too hard, too stressful and they didn’t want to be an adult anytime soon. Murray said she hopes Plum City continues in the experience. She also commended all of the volunteers and the UWExtension for all of their time and effort put forth in putting this event together.

Fun and educational activities on Rock Lake Lake Mills – The Rock Lake Improvement Association (RLIA) and partners are hosting Rock Lake Under Ice, an event that includes several activities related to the lake, during the Knickerbocker Ice Festival on Saturday, Feb. 2. Family-friendly events are scheduled for 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the ice of Rock Lake near Bartel’s Beach on Ferry Drive. Bill Krieger, an experienced scuba diver from Cambridge, will teach people techniques for getting out of a hole in the ice. Brave participants can learn these methods first hand by getting into the lake. But first they will climb into a suit, provided by Krieger, which will not allow them to sink. Donations for trying out the suits will be accepted. Depending on conditions that day, ice diving may also be demonstrated by trained scuba divers. Conservation Warden Ryan Ellifson and Deputy Conservation Warden Water Guard Jonathan Kaiser from the state Department of Natural Resources will also take part. They will teach kids and adults how to ice fish on Rock Lake (inside classroom will be from 8 to 9 a.m. in the American Legion with the outside classroom on the ice anytime

from 9:30 a.m. to noon). There is no need to bring fishing poles or bait, as they will have everything needed. In addition, they will have a display about aquatic invasive species. Learn how you can stop the spread of these species. Temporary tattoos of some of these critters will be available to every child visiting the display. Have you ever wondered what frogs, turtles, fish and other lake plants and animals do during the winter? Find out by visiting a display put together by the Jefferson County Land and Water Conservation Department and RLIA. The Knickerbocker Ice Festival is named from an ice company in the early 1900s that cut blocks of ice from Rock Lake to sell for keeping food cold. During the Rock Lake Under Ice event, volunteers will demonstrate traditional ice-cutting methods. Tents and warming shelters will be provided by RLIA and its partners. Hot chocolate will also be available for a small donation. The RLIA is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote and generate positive action on issues concerning the preservation, protection and improvement of Rock Lake. Learn more at www.rocklake.org.

PET OF THE WEEK Topeka - I'm a loveable and charming deaf boy who meows very loudly because I can't hear myself. I'd create a Cat Sign Language to tell you how awesome I am, but words aren't necessary for something so obvious! For more information on Topeka, please contact the Humane Society of Jefferson County at (920)674-2048. For a list of all available pets, visit our website at www.hsjc-wis.com.

Assessing the alfalfa fall-harvest decision I

t’s that time of year again to ruminate on the late-cut alfalfa question. There’s no doubt that following a drought year and a winter that was not too kind to alfalfa fields there is a need for more forage on some farms. Harvesting alfalfa in late fall comes with some degree of risk, but it’s not as high as it was 20 years ago. Approaching the fallcutting decision in 2013 comes with the realization that alfalfa fields have endured a multitude of stresses over the past two growing sea-

often does, result in yield reductions next spring. That may not be a bad tradeoff if you really need the feed between now and next June. The degree to which spring yield reductions occur depends largely on the type of weather we experience during late fall, winter and early spring. For example, an alfalfa plant will “harden” better during a fall typified by clear, cool weather than one characterized by cloudy and warm conditions. Obviously, snow cover during the winter and early spring will be

stored root carbohydrate reserves for overwintering. This makes such a practice somewhat less risky than harvesting in mid to late-September. It also offers producers the opportunity to harvest relatively high quality forage. From a winter hardiness and persistence standpoint, alfalfa varieties today are much better than they were 20 years ago. Some really poor survival years in the early 1990s helped refocus breeding efforts in this area. Harvesting alfalfa in October can, and most

The bottom line is that there is no right or wrong answer for making late-fall harvest decisions. It’s prudent not to risk injuring new stands that have been seeded in 2013. As for older stands, let feed need be your guide.

of great benefit as well. The spring yield reduction following a late fall harvestis often about equal to the amount of forage harvested from the October cut. Another factor to keep in mind is that the yield from Octoberharvested alfalfa is almost always less than one ton of dry matter per acre because stem density and size is less than that of spring or early-summer growth. Some growers are concerned about alfalfa smothering itself out if significant growth is left in the field over

Expect the unexpected from farm equipment on roads

he impact of farm equipment on public roads has been the topic of town hall meetings throughout the state. The gist of the sessions is to provide detailed information on the recommendations of a special study group that reviewed size and weight limits and other issues related to agricultural equipment. While the impact this equipment has on the integrity of roads and bridges is important, the safety of both the motoring public and farmers who share the road is also paramount. The fall harvest is just around the corner and drivers need to be especially aware of these slow-moving vehicles traveling the byways. Unfortunately, many drivers have the attitude

FARM NEWS AND VIEWS

AL MARTENS that farmers are road hogs who pay little attention. Wisconsin’s fantastic rural road infrastructure was built for agriculture. I grew up north of Detroit on semi-gravel roads with no ditches or shoulders. I know about rocks breaking windshields, constant dirt and dust and damaged vehicle alignment. I also ride a bicycle, so I love our roads. Tax me all you want to keep our roads up — I’ll pay. I get my money’s worth every

time I pull out of my driveway. The rural roads are still there for agriculture, and the rest of us have to be cognizant of that when we drive. We need to expect the unexpected with farm equipment. Slow-moving farm equipment is usually involved in a local operation, moving in and out of unmarked field driveways at times without much warning. A great deal of farm machinery towed by tractors lack turn signals. Many times drivers hauling large selfunloading wagons must move a little ways into the left lane to see behind them before turning left. I’ve had a lot of clients involved in car vs. tractor accidents and every one could have been avoided if the automobile driver had been patient or slowed down to the same

speed as the farm implement before deciding to pass. I approach farm equipment the same way I approach road construction areas — with heightened awareness. One particular incident I recall happened one fall day during silage chopping. As I passed the Wilson farm, I noticed they were filling silo. After finishing a call at a nearby farm, I again drove past the Wilson farm. As I slowed to make a left hand turn at the intersection ahead, a car blew through the stop sign heading toward the farm. Anger surged through me. Had I not slowed down to turn I would have been hit broadside by this car traveling well over 60 miles per hour. As I turned, I could see impending disaster looming down the road. Just

ahead a tractor towing a chopper box was just about to make a left turn into the Wilson farm driveway. Right behind was the speeding car, gaining ground on the chopper box. The car moved into the left lane to pass just as the tractor started to turn left. The car swerved to the left, vaulting over the far side of the driveway and onto the farm lawn. The driver was pretty good: he didn’t roll the car or even come to a full stop. He just stepped on the gas, flew through the ditch and barreled down the road away from the farm. I stopped to talk to the tractor driver who was visibly shaken. The Wilson’s son had only driven a couple feet over the center line so that he could look for vehicles behind him. While he was

still on the road, there was ample room for me to drive past at a reasonable speed. I got back in my vet truck and headed on in the same direction as the crazy driver. And at the next stop sign I got a little satisfaction. There ahead was the speeding car, stopped at the stop sign. The driver, decked out in a suit, rolled out from under the car and sped off, but not before dislodging from under his vehicle piles of dirt and grass from the Wilson’s front yard. Before he drove out of sight I believe I found the root of the problem: the car had an Illinois plate.

Simple Ways To Improve Memory Are you seeking ways to improve memory? The human mind is undoubtedly a wonderful tool but memory is a skill that can only be cultivated with some practice and a lot of patience. Anyone wanting to improve memory can learn memory sharpening skills and problem solving techniques with only a little effort. No one actually has “bad” memory. The problem is that people unknowingly develop bad memory habits as early as infancy itself. Because of bad recall habits, people often face problems during examinations, interviews and other circumstances that require efficient memory. Methods to improve memory Many people believe that they possess a poor capacity to remember facts, information and experiences in life. However,

Aug. 1 is deadline for many season applications

Aug. 1 marks a key deadline for many hunters, trappers and spearers in Wisconsin as fall approaches. Those planning to participate in fall turkey, bobcat, fisher, otter, wolf or Upriver Lakes sturgeon seasons must have their permit applications submitted by noon Aug. 1. Permit applications can be purchased through the Online Licensing Center on the DNR website, at all authorized license agents, at DNR Service Centers (Hours for service centers vary; check the DNR website for service center days and hours of operation; DNR Service Centers are not open on Saturdays), or by calling toll-free 1-877-LICENSE (1-877-945-4236). Fall turkey There will be approximately 96,700 wild turkey permits available to hunters for the fall 2014 turkey hunting season - the same number of permits offered in 2013. Please note that this number is preliminary and may be revised following review. Any fall turkey permits remaining after the initial drawing will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Aug. 23. Leftover fall turkey permits will be sold by zone until sold out or the season ends. Hunters who receive fall turkey permits in Zones 1-5 will be able to fill their unused permits during the extended season in the zone where the permits were issued. Season dates are as follows: • Sept. 13 to Nov. 20 for all seven of Wisconsin’s turkey management zones; and • an extended fall turkey season for Zones 1-5 from Dec. 1 to Dec. 31. Canada geese The Natural Resources Board will set waterfowl season dates at its Aug. 13 meeting. It is important to note that Horicon zone hunters no longer need to apply in advance for hunting tags. Hunters in this zone will simply need to indicate their zone preference when they purchase a license. Licenses are available for purchase at any time prior to hunting. Season dates for waterfowl vary annually and will not be available until the Natural Resources Board acts in August. Bobcat, fisher and otter The approved quotas for bobcat, fisher and otter will be available on the DNR web page in late July - no major changes are expected from last year. An additional Southern bobcat zone (all of Wis. south of Hwy 64) has been approved for 2014. Those interested in hunting and/ or trapping bobcats will need to apply to a specific zone (north or south) and time period (period 1 or 2) for the upcoming season. Bobcat applicant preference points will continue as in the past. Final permit numbers will be known in August and drawings

another

for all three species will take place in late August or early September. Season dates are as follows: • Bobcat hunting and trapping: Period 1: Oct. 18 to Dec. 25; Period 2: Dec. 26 to Jan. 31, 2015; • Fisher (trapping only): Oct. 18 through Dec. 31; and • Otter (trapping only): North Zone Nov. 2, 2013 through April 30, 2014; Central & South zones Nov. 2, 2013 through March 31, 2014. Wolf The total wolf quota has been set at 156, but the quota available to state-licensed hunters and trappers may be adjusted depending on state response to tribal declarations. The Department will maintain a 10-to-1 license-to-quota ratio. One-half of available permits will be issued randomly among all permit applicants and the second half will be issued through a cumulative preference point drawing. Successful applicants will be notified by letter and may also check their drawing status through the DNR website or any licensing agent. It is the applicants responsibility to know their drawing status. Applicants who are not successful in the drawing will be awarded a preference point toward future drawings. Wolf season will begin in all zones on Oct. 15 and run until the zone is closed by DNR or the last day of February, whichever occurs first. The department has the authority to close hunting zones when quotas are met or if deemed biologically necessary. Upriver Lakes sturgeon spearing season Sturgeon spearers have until Aug. 1 to apply for a 2015 Upriver Lakes sturgeon spearing lottery tag or preference point. Participation in the Upriver Lakes sturgeon spearing season on Lakes Butte des Morts, Winneconne and Poygan is controlled through a lottery. Those selected in the lottery will be notified by Oct. 1 that they have been authorized to purchase a license and participate in the 2015 Upriver season (this tag must be purchased before Oct. 31). Group lottery applications of up to four persons will be accepted. Each group will carry the preference points of the group member with the fewest points. Group applications must be made online through the online licensing center. Spearers who apply for but are not authorized to purchase an Upriver Lakes license will receive a preference point toward the following lottery, and can purchase a license to participate in the Lake Winnebago spearing season that runs at the same time. –Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources

VICTORY for getting kids outdoors

Area KAMO chapter hosts event in the hill country near La Crosse Hello friends, Back in October of 2009, I was bow hunting in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area and had my truck parked in a somewhat remote area. On the door of my truck was a sticker that had KAMO (Kids And Mentors Outdoors) on it. Little did I know that Onalaska math and science teacher Mike Brown had seen that sticker and wrote down www.kamokids.org, which was also on it. I am the President of KAMO, and on the website is my phone number, which Mike called, and that is how we met. A month later, Mike attended a meeting of the Meadow Valley Chapter of KAMO at New Lisbon, joined that chapter and told us on night one that he wanted to start a KAMO chapter in LaCrosse. Back in July of 2012, I met with Mike and a few other people in La Crosse for what would be the first meeting of the Coulee Chapter of KAMO. As with the prior four chapters of KAMO and the next after Coulee (Chippewa, Eau Claire), I witnessed how hard it is to get enough mentors together to create a core group and actually make a difference locally on introducing kids to the outdoors through one on ones and group events. This week one of the things that I am writing about is an event that the Coulee Chapter hosted for 11 kids in the hill country southwest of La Crosse, where they taught birding, geocaching and fly fishing and put on a lunch. I was just an observer during this event and it was awesome to watch what was once just a dream in this column. Tim Collins is a retired physics instructor from WTC and taught the birding class, and in the fall will lead a group deer hunt and camping trip. I know very little about songbirds, and it was really cool to walk through the woods and listen to the birds and have Tim identify and tell the kids a bit about each bird. My buddy Mike Brown taught the geocaching class, which is how to find something with a compass that has been hidden in a forest or field. Last spring, at our state meeting in Stevens Point, Mike told

us that along with hunting and fishing The Coulee Chapter were going to teach kids on non-harvest outdoor activities, and I am 100 percent behind that decision. The Coulee Chapter received two very respectable awards this year. One was from the Mississippi Valley Conservancy and that was the “Outstanding Youth Group of the Year” award. The other was from the La Crosse County Conservation Alliance and it was their “Outstanding Club” award. In a different setting last fall, Dave Carlson did an excellent show with these guys where they were teaching kids how to duck hunt on the Mississippi River. That show is on our website and it is truly entertaining. Today, a potential KAMO mentor, Jim Getter, who is a retired restaurant owner from Stevens Point and now is a trout-fishing guide for the Driftless Angler, taught these kids how to fly fish, and I was very impressed with both Jim’s skills and his ability to work with kids. Each year, I have to make a decision on who will be the recipient of “The Presidents Award” for what I see as one of the most active people in KAMO, that makes a difference on a broad scale. This past year, Mike Brown shared that award with Jim Kurz, who is our State Secretary and seems to be constantly doing something with kids in the Ladysmith area (Indianhead Chapter). On the 12th of July the Northwood’s Chapter (Florence) will be hosting their annual Hooked on Fishing event where they provide a day of fishing, a lunch, and a pole for each kid that shows up to take home. On July 21st, at my hometown high school of Poynette, in the lunch room at 7 p.m. several of us will be hosting an informal get together to start what I believe will be KAMO’s 8th chapter or possibly 9th as we are working on another one in Green Bay, where they are having their second meeting on the 14th. I will be at Poynette and hope to see a bunch of friends and family as well as new friends. Folks, it’s happening, KAMO is going to become a force in getting our Wisconsin kids back into the outdoors, we need you! Sunset

What gives insects their variety of colors

During mid-summer, insects of all shapes, sizes, and colors are very abundant and active. Have you ever wondered what gives insects their wide array of colors? As you might suspect, there are a variety of factors that contribute. Colors are either structural or pigmental. Structural colors are due to anatomic peculiarities, such as grooves on the scales of butterflies. Grooves break up light into component wavelengths, acting much like a prism. The resultant colors are determined by the distances between grooves. Instead of grooves, some insects have small pits that function the same as grooves. Pigmental colors are produced by the reflection and absorption of the various wavelengths that compose light. Pigments may be taken directly from food, may be produced indirectly from food, or may be an excretory product. Many caterpillars and grasshoppers, for instance, are green due to the ingestion of chlorophyll, the chemical responsible for the green color of the leaves they eat. Insects that feed on the blood of higher animals become red due to the ingestion of hemoglobin, the iron-containing respiratory pigment in red blood cells of vertebrates. The black and brown color of many insects, like some beetles, are due to nitrogenous metabolic by-products known as melanins. Reds and yellows of insects are derived from carotene and xanthophyll ingested with leaves. Anthocyanins produce red, blue, and purple colors in insects, as well as flowers, fruits, leaves, and stems. Dull yellows and browns are often derivatives of tannin found in leaves. The subject of insect coloration is extensive and further compounded by the effects that external factors like temperature, moisture, and light have on the formation of pigments and insect color patterns. So the next time you see a wasp, potato beetle, June bug, ladybug, monarch butterfly, or even a housefly, pause a moment to consider and appreciate the variety of insect colors. Farmers are harvesting their second crop of hay for the year. These cut fields should be excellent areas to look for wild turkey broods. Cut hay fields are frequented by hungry broods searching for abundant and nutritious insects. Deer fawns are roaming farther away from their mothers. In fact, do not be surprised to see fawns by themselves, especially during the day. –Dave Matheys, wildlife biologist, Viroqua Juneau County The fishing report is slow for Southern Juneau County.

Anglers are catching the usual mixed bag of catfish, drum, white bass and crappie in most locations. Walleye action has slowed significantly, but they can still be found. The Wisconsin River in Juneau County including the flowages is finally reaching its normal summer lows so caution should be used when boating, as sandbars and debris are either exposed in many areas or just below the water line. The mosquitoes have finally slowed, but the biting flies are taking over. It is also berry season, and they can be found in many locations throughout the county. Kyle Lynch, conservation warden, Mauston Hoffman Hills State Recreation Area Many of the prairie plants are beginning to bloom such as leadplant, white false indigo, rattlesnake master, cinquefoil, smooth blazing star, and black eyed susan. It seems to be a good year for raspberries wherever you go. There’s plenty of raspberries around in the prairies or on some of the other park properties in the area like the Red Cedar and Chippewa River State Trails. Maintenance staff have been busy cleaning up trails from recent June storm damage. Trails have finally dried out and are in good condition. - Calvin Kunkel, ranger Buckhorn State Park The lake has been busy with boating, fishing and swimming. Canoes and kayaks are available to rent for use on the canoe interpretive trail and at the beach. Check out a GPS unit at the park office or bring your own to discover the Ranger Rick Geocaches or history of Buckhorn caches. Horseshoes and volleyballs are available to checkout for use by the beach or in the group camp. The beach is a great place to enjoy the sun, grill out and enjoy summer. Not too many bugs at this time of summer! Drop in at the beach on Wednesdays between 1-4 p.m. for nature activities. – Heather Wolf, park manager Roche-A-Cri State Park Trails are in great shape for hiking and geocaching. GPS units are available to check out at the park office. Horseshoes and volleyball are available to check out to use at the mound shelter. Many picnic areas in the park to enjoy the weekend weather.

Prefishing for a walleye tournament with eight pros near Green Bay

PRO FISHERMAN Life as a

Hello friends, This past week I stayed at a cabin on Green Bay near Oconto and prefished for an AIM “Angler’s Insight Marketing” walleye tournament with eight tournament pros that I did not know until this trip took place. Saturday, July 19 • High 82, low 55 I met Ben Bertram after dark on the Fox River while fishing walleye a few years back. On June 24 I met him again when he joined a new KAMO chapter out of Green Bay and he invited me to fish with him and his friends. Today I met Ben and a whole bunch of what I would learn is the “Keep it Reel Fishing” group, which is maybe eight pros and I would find out they’re all important partners for prefishing. In the world of fishing tournaments, at least at this scale, prefishing generally starts on a Friday or Saturday for a tournament that begins the following Thursday or Friday. A pro needs one or two people in their boat so that six or maybe even nine lines can be used which mathematically helps him or her to figure out both location and technique for a hot bite on a big fish. Today I would fish with Ben Bertram and Justin Schnieder of Chilton. Justin, who like Ben, is in the 30-year-old bracket is a project manager “mechanical contractor” for a family owned business. Before we even pulled the poles out of the rod locker we went across Green Bay on a 14-mile ride and let me tell you, Justin does not hold back the horses when driving over the top of high seas. My initiation would begin as soon we began setting up to troll by remote control with an electric motor or 9.9 outboard. Justin would work the structure of the reef he wanted to fish, while Ben set out 4-poles rigged with crankbaits of which 3 were on planer boards and one was straight back. I would do the same on the opposite side of the boat. Today I learned that this AIM tournament is rather unique in a very good way. There are two pros in each boat and each day they get a new co-angler who is urged to help with the fishing and takes part in the measuring of each fish and photographing of the fish on the bump board. In other words, walleye are not put in a livewell for this tournament; they are measured, charted, photographed, and released. A

big plus being that a team gets to use their biggest fish of the day. In a tournament where pounds of fish per day will probably have to average 40 or better to win, the ability to change fish can really help. Justin does not like to use a net when prefishing and as soon as he catch’s a walleye or two, the rods are pulled and another boat ride takes place. These guys learned a thing or two about me today when I caught a gobie and Justin told me he would give me $10.00 if I ate it. Long story short I bid them up to $40.00 and ate the gobie while being filmed. You can check out this video at www.keepitreelfishing.com and I have to warn you the fish crunching between my molars is kind of gross. Sunday, July 27 • High 81, low 51 There is so much more to say in a story like this, but because of space limitations, I am not able to. Like yesterday, Kent Anderson (who is the National Sales Manager for Warror Boats) caught a 31.5-inch walleye. Last night about ten of us shared a meal cooked by Ben of moose steaks and then I watched these guys have a serious meeting about their day of fishing and the next day’s plan. Today, I would fish with Robert Cardenas, who is from Gem Lake, Minnesota and, when he is not on the tournament trail, is a nurse at a hospital in St Paul. Robert runs a Warrior 2121 that is pushed by a 300 horse Yamaha. Today we would be using crawler harnesses “meat” and like yesterday putting big miles on the water all in a quest to win what might be $18,000 – 30,000 (depending on the amount of entries) by the end of the week. Robert has it figured out that each tournament costs him about $3,400.00 to fish and, as I would learn, sponsors are huge in this way of life. Like yesterday, we caught about ten flathead catfish and sheephead for every walleye, but it was a real eye opener to learn of the camaraderie, expenses, and challenges that these outdoorsmen and women live through on the tournament trail. Enjoy your day! Sunset
