taking place from her vantage point behind the ticket counter, where she was helping other women check ID’s and issue wristbands for those of legal drinking age, State Rep. Samantha Kerkman appeared to be enjoying herself. “This year, I’m seeing a lot more local faces here,” she said. Kerkman, whose 61st Assembly District includes Twin Lakes, said this is her 13th year volunteering at Libertyfest, and she found the clear weather and temperatures in the mid70s perfect for the event. She plans to be back tonight with her two sons to take in the fireworks show at dusk. “It’s really nice to be working outside right now. I can think of a lot of worse places to work,” Kerkman said.

WASHINGTON — U.S. employers are sending a message of confidence in the economy — hiring more workers, raising pay and making the job market appea strong enough for the Federal Reserve to slow its bond purchas as early as September. The economy gained a robust 195,000 jobs in June and many more in April and May than previously thought. The unemplo ment rate remained 7.6 percent in June because more people starte looking for jobs — a healthy sign — and some didn’t find them. Th government doesn’t count people as unemployed unless they’re loo ing for work. The Labor Department’s repor Friday pointed to a U.S. job mark that’s showing surprising resilience in the face of tax increases, federal spending cuts and econom ic weakness overseas.

W-Madison police officer Erik Pearce, a member of the force’s bike patrol unit, demonstrates bike safety and signaling concepts with children on Monday during Safety Town at Lighthouse Christian School in Madison. The five-day sessions for children entering kindergarten cover safety topics relating to poisons, school buses, animals and pets, fire, water, electricity and weapons. The program is in its 10th year.
Police eye mobile DNA testing The technology, which is still in the trial stages, can perform an analysis in as little as 90 minutes. Associated Press
Wisconsin law enforcement officials are tracking a new technology that might allow investigators to perform a DNA analysis in as little as 90 minutes. The technology is still in the testing stages, but Wisconsin officials say the early indications are promising. “There’s some powerful stuff that’s going on out there,” said Brian O’Keefe, administrator of law enforcement services for the Wisconsin Department of Justice. DNA testing in a lab setting can take several days or longer,
depending on the urgency of the case. But the new test, called Rapid DNA, would be mobile, allowing investigators to do testing right at the scene. For example, if a criminal commits a sexual assault, police might be able to find a match in a DNA database and launch an intensive search for a known suspect, O’Keefe said. “We could start pulling all of our resources into going after the bad guy and get them (in custody) before they assault anyone else,” O’Keefe said. The state is waiting for the U.S. Department of Justice to decide whether to approve the technology before it can be used in Wisconsin. A Rapid DNA unit could cost as much as $250,000, but O’Keefe predicted the price would drop as the technology becomes more widely available.
One of the agencies testing Rapid DNA is the police department in Palm Bay, Fla., a city of about 106,000 residents. Chief Doug Muldoon said the department has partnered with IntegenX Inc., the company that created the portable mini-laboratory that can test blood and biological samples. Muldoon said his department received the unit late last year and is experimenting with it. “It’s still being tested,” he said. “I think it has a ton of potential, but it will take time.” In Wisconsin, authorities will soon have access to a broader DNA database. Last week, state lawmakers approved a bill requiring the collection of a DNA sample from anyone arrested on suspicion of having committed a felony. Previously, DNA collection was limited to convicted felons and sex offenders.

But looking at Blake now, as he smiles and rides his skateboard around the driveway of his father’s home in Weston, it is hard to picture him as the same boy fighting for his life only nine days ago. Blake, who was struck by a bolt of lightning while riding his dirt bike at his great uncles’ farm in Marathon, was released from the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison on Thursday after being treated for the injuries he suffered from the incident. Blake returned to his home in Weston to find it surrounded by cheering family members, friends and neighbors. In honor of Blake’s return, Blake and his supporters released balloons with typed copies of his story attached. “My family was all here for me,” Blake said. “(The best part) was having a big celebration and letting the balloons go.” Blake’s road to recovery began with Chris Draeger, Blake’s father, performing life-saving CPR on Blake in the family pickup while on the way to Aspirus Wausau Hospital.

Fireworks explode along the Kenosha lakefront before a lineup of ships and a large crowd viewing from the shore. twisting and turning rides made the day more enjoyable. “It’s an extra diversion before the fireworks,” said Mark Sekulich, of Zion, Ill., as his three children waited to move on to the next ride. Sekulich’s wife, mother and friend were listening to one of the bands playing
along the lakefront, and he was happy there was yet another attraction to entertain his kids. “Every year it seems like there’s less green space,” he said, referring to the disappearing grass and parking lot areas that seem to fill up with more attactions annually. For Nick Browder, also of
Zion, it was the first time he came out to the festival, but he wasn’t disappointed. He watched from a bench while his daughter was hoisted into the air on one of the bigger rides in the carnival area. “It’s good,” he said. “It’s a great thing to take the kids to.”

The reproductions of the Nina and Pinta will be on display in Hudson through July 9. The ships are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. An admission fee is required.
Reproductions of the famous vessels that took Christopher Columbus to the New World in 1492 returned to port in Hudson last Friday. The Nina and Pinta tied up alongside the Hudson Dock on the dike road around noon June 27 and are scheduled to be open for public tours through July 9. The arrival marked the third trip to Hudson for the Nina. The exact reproduction of the original ship made a visit to Lakefront Park in late July 2005. The Nina returned with the Pinta, a larger version of the original, in August 2010. The Nina was completely built by hand without power tools and is acclaimed to be the “most historically correct Columbus replica ever built,” according to a news release from the Columbus Foundation, Inc. The Nina made her maiden voyage in December 1991. The Pinta was built in Brazil and launched in Feb. 2005. They both are caravels, the ship of exploration in the 15th and 16th century. The third ship of the original voyage, the Santa Maria, ran aground and sank in Hispaniola in 1492. It was a nao (freighter) and reportedly never liked by Columbus. The Nina and Pinta are touring together as a sailing museum. Their previous stop was at Marquette, Iowa. The public is welcome to tour the ships daily between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Admission is $84:12 forpm adults, $7 for senJuly 8, 2013 / iors and $6 for students 5 to 16 years old.

A scene similar to this will be on display at 10 a.m. Saturday off Racine’s North Beach, when the 30th HOOK Race gets underway. More than 50 entrants in the 189-mile race to Menominee, Mich., will raise their sails in unison.
Spring rains aid HOOK Race High water levels in Lake Michigan boon for sailors PETER JACKEL pjackel@journaltimes.com
Scott Lewis, chairman of this year’s HOOK sailing race, couldn’t have been more delighted to scrap his contingency plan. When the Lake Michigan water level was at a particularly low level in March, Lewis and Racine Yacht Club Commodore Charlie Manning made a trip to Menominee, Mich., to work on alternate planning. The potentially shallow water would obviously be a major concern for sailors negotiating the drafts of their boats in the 30th annual HOOK race, which starts at 10 a.m. Saturday off Racine’s North Beach, and it was a time to be proactive. “We were very concerned about the low water level,” Lewis said. “Back then, it wasn’t really looking good in terms of the water level and
we were going to have to put boats in places other than the Menomonee marina.” But then the skies started opening up. Above average rain starting in April that has carried into this month has greatly enhanced the water level of Lake Michigan, which measured just 576.02 feet in January. That is the lowest level since records started in 1918, breaking the previous low set in March 1964. So even if entries are in the low 50s going into Thursday’s deadline after reaching 70 last year, Lewis maintains perspective. After all, it could have been a lot worse. “They hadn’t dredged up at Menominee; they’ll be dredging in the fall,” Lewis said. “So a lot of people were holding off until they saw whether the lake would rise high
enough. “Fortunately for us, the lake is up two inches up in Menominee, which is higher than it was at HOOK time last year.” With a forecast for Saturday morning calling for a high of 79, partly cloudy skies and 10 mile-per-hour winds out of the southeast, conditions will be favorable for another successful race. Colorful sails will be raised in unison just before the race, making for a spectacular sight. And at 10 a.m., the fleet of boats will embark on a course, which has been revised from 198 to 189 miles, to the M&M Yacht Club in Menominee. The faster boats are expected to arrive some time Sunday afternoon, depending on the wind. Any boat

HIPPEWA FALLS — Brad Schroder heard about the double bacon corn dog at a fair convention in Las Vegas. It was developed in Iowa, where they have lots of pigs for making bacon, and, of course, lots of corn. Schroder thought this had potential, but needed a Wisconsin touch — cheese. The bacon, cheddar corn dog was born. It debuted at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair. “It sure took off here,” said Schroder, who has been a vendor at the fair for 40 years. Schroder plans to make it a permanent part of the lineup for his food service.

Mold Problem Continued from page 1 CSA Jeff Prince, representing the Colfax Softball Association, talked to the parks committee about the Tom Prince Memorial Park use agreement. Prince said the softball association had wanted it spelled out what CSA would pay for and what the village would pay for. The desire for more clarity mushroomed into a 16-page agreement from a large municipality that was whittled down to
a six-page agreement for Colfax, he said. The Colfax Softball Association and the village have not signed the agreement since 2011, Prince noted. Prince told the committee that he and other members of CSA think the full agreement is overkill and that a one-page document listing the responsibilities of the association and the village would be sufficient. Tom Prince Memorial Park is a village park, but the Colfax Soft-
ball Association schedules events and pays for half of the expenses at the park, such as electricity, fuel for the four-wheeler and maintenance. Prince also noted that the association would like to install lights in the second field. The softball association has had to turn away tournaments because the second field is not available for use in the evening without lights, he said. The Little League teams also cost-share on expenses, he said,
adding that the idea has been bantered around to ask the surrounding townships for financial support seeing as some of those residents use the ball field as well. Schieber suggested that the village work with the Colfax Softball Association to put requests in the parks budget, and that this fall, the agreement be reviewed, amended if necessary, and then signed for the following year.

Pleasant weather helped draw large crowds to events at Schilberg Park – including the carnival, “Taste of Milton” food tent, the beer tent, live bands, softball, fireworks and more – as well as other annual favorites that included the Optimist run/walk and the Fourth of July parade on Madison Avenue.

I decided to look for a place that would be a good fit for me, and I know this might sound funny because Mount Horeb is so much bigger than the town I’m from, but when I found this place, it just felt like home.” “Yes, it’s larger and it’s right outside Madison, but it still has a sense of community and agricultural roots,” she added.

If a proposed update to Mount Horeb’s residential zoning code is approved, the village could see a fundamental shift in how residential properties and buildings – and other property features – can be repaired and updated. The village could also see a boost in tax revenue if and when improvements are made. For several months, the village’s plan commission has been working with village planner Mike Slavney to iron out the details of the proposal. In general, the changes to the zoning code would be intended to encourage investment in existing single family residential buildings and properties by allowing additions and improvements, clarifying that the existing residential development in the village is fully legal and conforming and reducing barriers to future investments. In theory, if it exists now, it is fully legal. If it is built the day the ordinance is adopted, it must comply with the current zoning code requirements. “We encounter that legal non-con-

The 16th and 17th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution were ratified that year. And the nation’s first minimum wage law went into effect in Oregon. “Those were the good old days,” said Viola (nee Runser) Schiestl White, recalling the world into which she was born almost a century ago. Born July 28, 1913, White was the youngest of four children born to Robert A. Runser and Valeria Barnard in a one-room log cabin 3½ miles south of Foxboro. White said she was about 1-year-old when the family moved to an eight-room house built by her father.
Now, 100 years later, White of Phoenix, Ariz., is back in Superior to celebrate a century of life. “It’s a long time,” she said. “I lived here for many, many years in the house right over there,” she said pointing to a house near North 21st Street and Lackwanna Avenue in Billings Park. However, her early years were spent in rural Douglas County in a time when few owned an automobile and getting to Superior meant hopping a train from a boxcar placed near the tracks. “I went to a school that had all eight grades and I walk a mile and a half to school,” White said. “At that time, there were no cars and no nothing.” In fact, 1913 was the first year a sedan-style vehicle, a Hudson, was put on display

Sometimes, the kids would ride an old horse to school, then turn the horse around and send it back home, she said. Trains were an important form of transportation for the family that churned its own butter and canned its own vegetables. During the Great Depression, White said hobos would hop off the train and her father would give them jobs on the family farm. “The railroad went through our property and if anyone would get sick enough they had to go to a doctor … we would go down and wait in the box car on our property for a train to go by,” she said.

Report: Justice agent misused state email By Todd Richmond Associated Press MADISON
A Wisconsin Department of Justice agent who has accused his boss of illegally selling guns used the state’s email system to send messages laced with profanity, mocking Islamic terrorists’ dress and calling his supervisor an obscene name, records obtained by The Associated Press show. DOJ officials have twice suspended and reprimanded Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Dan Bethards since 2003 for misusing the agency’s email, the records show. Bethards accused former Superior field office Special Agent-in-Charge Jay Smith in December of selling weapons
The DOJ said no such records exist for Smith, indicating he has never been formally disciplined. Some of the documents in Bethards’ file underscore the animosity he felt toward Smith and show repeated violations of DOJ email policy. “Nobody in the DOJ has received more verbal, written and days off without pay reprimands than me,” Bethards wrote in a March 2011 email in the file. “ … When they would ask, Bethards, did you call that man an (expletive), I would say no sir, I called him a (expletiveexpletive), sorry about that, I will try harder and do better in the future, then take my punishment and move on. … Integrity.” Bethards, who handled drug cases in the Superior field

Awards: FROM PAGE 1A and judges’ comments will be announced Sept. 14.” The Vilas County NewsReview won a second-place General Excellence award in the 2001 NNA contest. Contest judges said the News-Review submitted the top Best Family Life/Living Pages for all newspapers in the nation. In a rare move, the NNA lumped together dailies and weeklies in the lifestyle category as well as newspapers of all sizes. Judges for the Better Newspaper Contest praised the News-Review for its variety of news stories, features and photographs in the section. “Good range of lifestyles/people news and features; good photos on fronts.

It’s not the first time the News-Review has been recognized by the NNA for its Lifestyle section as the paper won second place in 2012. “This first-place award for the Lifestyle section is special because the competition included major daily and weekly newspapers of any size, open to every newspaper in the 50 states,” said Krueger. The News-Review’s third national honor was in the Best Photo Essay for a frontpage wildlife photo essay by Krueger titled, “Spring Show.” The honorable mention award came in the non-daily division for newspapers with a circulation of 6,000 to 9,999.

Emerald ash borer forces removal of trees, quarantine in Sauk County STEVEN VERBURG sverburg@madison.com, 608‑252‑6118
Emerald ash borers will force the felling of 20 trees in Mirror Lake State Park and make Sauk the 17th Wisconsin county to be quarantined because of the imported pest, state officials said Monday.

Asbestos, carpeting work to close Uptown Library BY RACHAEL SHAFF
rshaff@kenoshanews.com Uptown Library, 2419 63rd St., will be closed Saturday through Aug. 10 to prevent asbestos exposure to patrons while carpeting is replaced. The project will take two weeks because the carpeting is glued to tiles containing asbestos. “As soon as we pull up the carpeting, it will break the tiles and then the asbestos is exposed,” Uptown Interim Director Lyn Swartz-Truesdell said. The library hired a company to do an asbestos abatement the first week. The new carpet will be laid the second week. “The carpeting has been there for as long as I can remember,” Swartz-Truesdell said. “It is stained and needs to be updated.” The library will reopen
Aug. 12. The Kenosha Literacy Council will relocate to the first floor of the Civic Center Building, 812 56th St., during the renovations.
Funding the project Kenosha Public Library originally budgeted to replace the carpet in Uptown, as well as areas of carpet in Northside Library, 1500 27th Ave., and Southwest Library, 7979 38th Ave. Funds needed to be moved around after finding out the cost of the asbestos removal. “Because we thought it needed to be done, we took money from the carpeting budget for Southwest to do the abatement at Uptown,” Swartz-Truesdell said. “Money will be put in next year’s budget to replace the carpet by the front desk in Southwest.”

Mammatus clouds highlighted by the setting sun swirled above Sauk county Monday evening, moving ahead of a turbulent cold front.
Monday’s beauty was fairly benign By Julie Belschner Times-Press
Anyone in Sauk County only needed to look overhead Monday evening to see a wild cold front moving through the area, with myriad types of clouds moving in several directions. The front crossed the Upper Mississippi River Valley region during the afternoon and evening hours. Southerly flow ahead of the front brought in a warm and muggy airmass, which

provided fuel for severe thunderstorms that fired on the cold front. Numerous reports of severe weather were received, mostly in the form of hail, with a tornado as well. Of the five funnel clouds confirmed in the region from north central Wisconsin to north central Iowa, only one funnel produced an actual tornado — on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border. The storms produced heavy rain and hail, but dry conditions leading up to Monday prevented any flooding. Storms grew and changed quickly, and moved in various directions, illustrating the disorganized nature to the atmosphere Monday. Sauk County Sheriff Chip Meister

Canonical, the company that brought you Ubuntu, a Linuxbased operating system, is attempting a feat that has never before been accomplished in the world of crowd funding websites like IndieGoGo and Kickstarter.

the bugs to get the milfoil under control. Kallie and Miller suggested pulling the milfoil and disposing of it. They said they know of a 5,000-acre lake in the state that successfully combats its milfoil with this method, and think it would be a good alternative on the 250-acre Golden Lake. Perry said it cost between $15,000 and $20,000 to apply the 2,4-D. He said the association didn’t price what it would cost to pull the weeds, but he is open to more discussion. “We’ll listen to anything. At our most recent meeting I informed those present that we intend to look at how things happen for the rest of the summer. We will see what happens to the milfoil and do an assessment as to whether something should be done again next year,” said Perry. Kallie and Miller are hopeful they can raise enough awareness of the potential hazards of continued use of the chemical that residents will support an alternative treatment. “I think a certain portion of the ‘good weeds’ may have been killed too,” added Kallie. Kannenberg said pulling is an option, but you would need scuba

DNR study
Human health
According to a study by DNR fisheries biologist Greg Matzke, the population of largemouth bass, northern pike and panfish on Lake Ellwood in Florence, Wis., has been greatly affected by the loss of native plants. Kannenberg said theories on the effects of using herbicide to kill milfoil depends on the researcher. DNR Water Resources Specialist Heidi Bunk was not available to return a reporter’s calls, and other DNR representatives declined to discuss the matter. In nearby Fowler Lake in Oconomowoc, the weeds are cut in an effort to keep them under control. City of Oconomowoc Public Works Director Mark Frye said the city once used herbicide on the lake, but no longer does. “I took over the position here at the end of 2006, and at that time the city had already made some decisions not to be using chemicals on Fowler Lake,” Frye said, adding, however, that the city has started to investigate the
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been studying the human health effects of 2,4-D for decades. According to toxipedia.org, more than 46 million pounds of 2,4-D are applied worldwide annually, accounting for $300 million spent on the herbicide. Other than irritating the body of someone who comes in direct contact with the chemical, the website cites 2,4-D as having negative effects on the endocrine system, specifically the thyroid and gonad and the immune system. “Research in the Netherlands suggests that 2, 4-D displaces sex hormones from the protein that normally transports these hormones in the blood,” the report stated, noting that it also affects sperm count and can even cause decreased production of cells responsible for making antibodies.

Cascade Falls lights up the night by JASON DEMOE Contributing Writer A project that has been in the works for nearly a year came to life on the evening of July 11 as Mill Pond Park, Geiger Falls, and Cascade Falls were flooded with multi-colored lights as part of a beautification plan that brought hundreds of locals and visitors downtown to get a closer look. Discussions concerning the lighting project started in early November when the village board had a four hour retreat on a Saturday morning during which they identified the top assets in the community. The falls and the park systems were near the top of the list. “What we were looking to do was beautify the community, show pride for our community, enhance the assets that we already have, and spur the local economy,” Village Presi-
Beckmann dug deeper and expanded upon those bullet points when he spoke to the crowd at the July 11 lighting ceremony. “This started with the beautification of the area. There have been many hours spent by the village crew in the parks and down at the falls,” he said. “Our pride is that we want to show off the top assets that we have in the community. As far as economics, there are a lot of little pieces to this, but as we improve our facilities, there will be more and more interest from folks wanting to hold events here.” Beckmann also said that he hopes these efforts will help local businesses by increasing tourism and also attracting those looking toward a permanent move. “As we continue to add value to the community and people are looking to move to this region, we are hoping that they look to Osceola for all that we have to offer,” Beckmann
also spoke. “This is a fantastic opportunity for our community and for the people who live here to come down and get even more enjoyment out of what Osceola has to offer,” Severson said. “What an expansion of our community to reach out and bring people in and just show how great Osceola is. I am so glad to see so many people here tonight. I am just so glad to share this moment with everybody.” Village Administrator Joel West spoke not only to the current lighting project but looked toward the future and gave the evening’s guests a glimpse into what may be in store. “I have been very grateful to take part in helping the village implement the vision to not only improve upon this great focal point [Mill Pond Park, Geiger Falls, Cascade Falls] for our community, but also to expand the July 17, 2013 2:53 pm / beautification effort to other areas such as the bluff, other parks in the

County From Front Page Retirement System (WRS) rates do not apply to PTO payouts. Last year the county budgeted 6.85 percent for WRS rates, with the actual amount ending up at 6.65 percent. In 2014, the WRS rate is increasing to 7 percent, Domaszek said. Several calculations, including updated workers compensation rates and new rates on health insurance, would not be available for the spreadsheet worksheet until a later date. Domaszek said employees would not sign up for insurance plans until October. Until then, department heads have to use the 2013 rates, determining the level of benefit (single or family and deductible amount) anticipated. Department heads are required to fill out narrative requests for new positions, technology upgrades, contracted services and staff development. Programs being offered that are not mandated must be justified.
packets must be submitted by Aug. 3. Different versions of Excel software being used at various workstations could complicate the process. Budget requests will be fine-tuned during individual department meetings in July and August. The first draft will be considered at a Sept. 4 Finance Committee meeting, with an initial presentation coming to the public at an Oct. 3 special budget meeting. Domaszek said the county board’s deadline for adopting the budget is Nov. 12, giving county officials enough time to prepare information for property tax bills coming out in December. Department heads then gave a roundtable report. Land Conservation Department Conservationist Matt Zoschke said his department hired a new entry-level position. “We are moving ahead as fast as we can,” he said. “We are getting a lot of great cooperation from landowners in Clark County.” Aging and Nutrition

She said a frequently asked questions area on the county website is being contemplated. “Some people in the community don’t know which department to contact with certain questions,” she said. Highway Commissioner Randy Anderson gave an update on county road paving projects and mowing schedules. He said Governor Walker’s state budget contains $52.5 million more in funding in 2015, which could mean an additional $500,000 for Clark County in state highway maintenance money. “We will have to figure out a balance of paving and maintenance for state highways,” Anderson said. “We definitely need the extra money.” Forestry and Parks Department Administrator Rick Dailey said he has experienced a “domino effect” in filling positions.

Schmitz noted the Family Fun Fest planned for Sunday, Aug. 11, will include a chicken dinner, raffles and special music. She said a new admissions coordinator had been hired. “We are looking to do more outreach to make a change in our resident census,” Schmitz said. Emergency Management Director John Ross said bids were due July 10 on the new courthouse radio tower project. “That will go pretty quick after the first shovelful of dirt is turned,” Ross said. Ross said the county radio system would be reaching the end of its life in the next few years. A subcommittee is looking at various options. Corporation Counsel Jacob Brunette reported an increase in juvenile matters. He said he was also busy doing contract review for various departments. Confidentiality and health information privacy act compliance guides need updating. “Anyone with legal questions, please ask,” Brunette said. Clerk of Courts Heather Bravener said her department had gone paperless and fileless. “As of June 15, we were the only county in the state to have gone paperless,” she said. “We are proud of it.” Bravener said there was an increase in revenues and fine amounts passed in the recent state budget. She said filing fees would increase significantly in 2014. Adult Development Services (ADS) Director Joe Meyer said things were going well in his department. “Our mowing crew and wood shop pallet orders are going strong,” Meyer said. “Our new truck is also in use.” Meyer said a number of

Fort Atkinson sisters show fair animals despite livin By Jen Bradley Correspondent
“You don’t need to live on a farm to have animals,” said 10-year-old Abby Garrett. Her 11-year-old sister Shea agreed, saying that even if someone doesn’t live in the country, their 4-H peers who do, “would gladly let you keep animals at their houses.” This has been good news to two city girls from Fort Atkinson who love animals and love showing them at the Jefferson County Fair. The two energetic preteens have been members of the Country Clovers 4-H Club for three years, and this year was their second with animals at the annual fair.

Fair sets attendance record By Steve Sharp
steves@wdtimes.com JEFFERSON — The Jefferson County Fair set an attendance record Saturday night with the performance of Little Big Town, which meant a total of 16,553 patrons passed through the gates of the park that day.
“I’m tired today, but that’s OK, I can afford to be tired now,” hard-working Jefferson County Fair Secretary Gail Zastrow said this morning. Zastrow called Saturday an “outstanding, record-breaking day” and noted that, over the course of its five-day run for 2013, the fair’s attendance was up
by more than 1,000 people over 2012. There was no rain during this year’s fair. “Even last year, during the drought, we had some rain,” Zastrow said. Zastrow said fair organizers were thoroughly prepared for the large crowd that descended on the fair park Saturday night to hear and see popular country band Little Big Town. “We set some new goals and had some new procedures in place, so things ran better than they did in 2012,” Zastrow said. “We also had great cooperation from the city of Jefferson and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department that allowed people to get in and out of the fair park — and Jefferson — with what I would consider just typical delays.” Zastrow said highlights of the 2013 fair included a great opening Wednesday. “Wednesday was an awesome day for me and it was great to see so many people here,” he said. “With the change inJuly the16, weather from 2013 4:24 pmthe / hot and steamy days to the less humid conditions, everyone was more comfortable as we

Lone star tick showing up in Badger State By DAVID WAHLBERG Wisconsin State Journal
An aggressive tick that can cause a disease marked by fever, fatigue and possibly an allergy to meat is showing up this year in Wisconsin like never before, a UW-Madison entomologist said Monday. One human case of the disease has been reported, in northwest Wisconsin’s Barron County, health officials said. It’s a type of ehrlichiosis that is relatively new to the state. A dozen of the ticks, known as lone star ticks, have been
