Wonewoc-Center School District will be holding a referendum during the Spring 2020 election in order to ask for funding for a series of projects designed to restore the school to current state standards as well as update several key areas in order to provide the students of Wonewoc and Union Center with the best possible education and prepare them for their future goals. As part of an information

campaign prior to the election, Wonewoc-Center will be hosting several meetings and an open house in order to better familiarize the voting populace with what exactly the referendum, should it pass, would allow for. The open house is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 6, during the Elementary School Dance. As parents must remain within the building while their children enjoy the dance, the Wonewoc-Center School Board deemed it a perfect opportunity to

provide some more information while also providing parents with something to do while their children have fun. H2I, formerly known as Haldeman Homme, Inc., will be present with a showcase of potential upgrades to the school’s science department. In addition, Labmen West will have upgraded shop equipment available for attendees to peruse. Marshfield Book and Stationary will also be on hand with a selection of furniture. Signage for the open house

will be present at the dance, and announcements are planned throughout the event to ensure all attending adults have the opportunity to see what the school has planned should the referendum prove successful. Such signage will include displays detailing how education needs have changed over the past few decades and financial figures, including historical MIL rates and what such an investment will cost the individual taxpayer. Tours will also be available. Two public meetings are

scheduled to take place on Thursday, March 19, and Tuesday, March 24. The March 19 meeting is set to begin at 5:00P.M. while the March 24 meeting will take place at 6:00P.M. as part of the National Honor Society banquet. The school board will be setting up a specific email address for referendum-related questions, and representatives are expected to speak at various local organization meetings over the coming weeks in order to give the public a better idea of what to expect.


Hillsboro students Ryan Laskowski and Haylee Fry were able to take advantage of an unique opportunity this year: competing at the Poetry Out Loud event in Lodi on Thursday, February 6. Poetry Out Loud is a national arts education program that encourages students to study great poetry through the use of free educational materials and recitation competitions in high schools across the country. This program has been going since 2005, reaching more than 3.8 million students and their teachers across 16,000 schools in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. For Wisconsin schools, this program is sponsored by both the state and National Arts Boards, and this is the first year Laskowski and Fry have been able to compete. Last year, the program was cut from

the curriculum, but this year there was enough interest and available funding for students to compete. Students compete first at their individual schools, and the selected

Referendum open house and meetings planned for March


Public speaking is one of the most common fears people confess to having, and it’s no wonder why! The stress of going before a group and delivering a speech or performance can be nerve-racking. Each year, beginning in February, students have a chance to conquer these fears and gain valuable experience presenting to a group in a competitive setting thanks to the Forensics program. This year, 21 Hillsboro students have signed up to deliver a speech or performance in front of an audience, with options ranging from persuasive speeches on a particular topic to dramatic renditions of scenes from selected plays. Students can choose to perform either on their own or in a group, and are scored based on a set of pre-determined criteria. The Hillsboro Forensics team

Hillsboro forensics team steps out of their comfort zone

is currently led by Erin Hora, who has been involved with the program for over twenty years, and Anna Madden, who will see her third or fourth year of involvement with this round of competitions. Freshman students Ella Burch, Greg Hora, and Malana Woirol decided to work together to present a short scene titled “The Bloody Souvenir.” Burch, who has an interest in theater and the performing arts, became interested in joining Forensics as a way to expand her theatrical skills. Woirol, however, joined the team as a way to step outside of her comfort zone and gain a new experience. Senior Grace Stockwell, however, chose to fly solo for the fourth year in a row, selecting an old favorite: Moments in History. This category requires the student to deliver a speech on a particular event in a specified era of history. In the past, Stockwell has delivered speeches

winners can then advance on to a regional or state competition. Students who win their state

on the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the 1936 Olympic games. Her performance has even sent her to the state level on two separate occasions. This year, Stockwell drew from a recent experience and chose to focus her speech on the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks. Stockwell had visited New York City over the previous summer, and had

the opportunity to see the 9/11 memorial in Manhattan, paying homage to those who died both in the hijacked planes that crashed into the Twin Towers and those who were unable to escape the towers as they collapsed. Much like Woirol, Stockwell values the chance to step outside of her comfort zone and become more comfortable with speaking in front

of a crowd. The Forensics team just completed their Sub-District competition, held in La Farge on Monday afternoon. Once results are in, those who scored high enough to move on to the district level can expect to perform once again in March at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse.

competitions are then able to complete for the national championship, receiving $200 and an all-expenses-paid trip with an adult chaperone to Washington, D.C., where the national championships will take place. For Fry and Laskowski, the state competition is scheduled for early March. Laskowski became interested in competing due to a love of public speaking and performing, which he was able to develop further while competing in Forensics in the previous year. For his performance pieces, Laskowski selected “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost, and “Son Daughter” by Kai Conradi. He

chose Frost’s poem as it was a short and sweet fan favorite, but with deep meaning, while he gravitated towards Conradi’s poem as it resonated with him on a personal level. Fry, however, has never performed in such a competition before, and has expressed her excitement in having this new experience and taking the opportunity to step out of her comfort zone. For her performance, Fry chose “Auto-Lullaby” by Franz Wright and “Ebb” by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Fry chose Wright’s poem for its rhyme scheme and cadence, while she developed an instant liking for Millay’s poem.

Lettheloveflow,alongwiththewinnings, at the Lions Valentine’s BINGO on Sunday, February 16 at the Firemen’s Community Center. Hillsboro Booster Club will have food available for purchase by noon, and BINGO starts at 1:00 p.m. sharp. The theme of BINGO for February is “Valentine’s Day,” and host Cupid would love to hand the lucky winner of Progressive BINGO a check for $1,100. “Lions BINGO has become more popular than ever with the addition of Progressive BINGO and the introduction of a different theme each month,” said organizer Lion Carl Baller. Hillsboro Lions Progressive BINGO works like this: The last game of the day is “blackout”; every square on the BINGO sheet must be filled. A player whoblacks out his or her sheet within a specifiednumberofnumberscalledwins the jackpot. If no one blacks out a sheet within that limited number, the game continues until someone wins the regular prize, but the progressive jackpot is held until the following month. Each month, the jackpot increases by $100, and

the number of calls required to win is raised by one, making it easier to win. For example, the Progressive BINGO jackpot in February is up to $1,100, and the sheet must be blacked out in 58 or fewer numbers called. If no one wins in February, the jackpot in March will increase to $1,200, and would be won by a lucky player whose sheet is blacked out in 59 or fewer numbers called. White Progressive BINGO sheets will be sold during the first andsecond BINGO sessions only. Pull tabs, 50/50, and “Chinese raffles”willroundouttheafternoonof fun. Hillsboro Lions BINGO has been expanded for the 2019-2020 season. The following dates are planned in 2020: February 16, March 8, April 19, September 6, October 18, and November 15. Check the Hillsboro Sentry-Enterprise for reminders and announcements of the theme each month. Come to BINGO Sunday, February 16 at the Firemen’s Community Center for an afternoon of fun, excellent food, and the chance to win great prizes! Cupid awaits, eager to let an arrow flyeach time he hears “BINGO!”

On Thursday, February 27, local widows in the community are invited to attend a Widows’ Luncheon, to be held at 11:30A.M. at the Hillsboro Fireman’s Community Center. This program is free to attend, and includes a wintery meal and

singing program as well as an opportunity to speak with other widows in the community and enjoy the bonds of sisterhood and fellowship. The Gospel Light Ladies will be hosting this annual event, which will enjoy its second year at the Community Center. Last year, over twenty area widows came to enjoy good food and company while

offering and receiving support in the aftermath of losing a loved one. For those interested in attending this event, please RSVP to Bonita Oberholtzer by phone at (608) 479-1061. If you know of any other widows in the community who could benefit from some time among understanding and supportive women, you are encouraged to invite them along.

Students from area schools will participate in a Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) sanctioned Concert Music Festival hosted at Wonewoc-Center on Wednesday, February 26, 2020. During the festival, which is free and open to the public, each school’s concert ensemble groups will perform before a panel of adjudicators while students from other schools listen in as part of their own learning experience. The festival will draw concert bands and choirs from a number of area schools, including Hillsboro High School, Hillsboro Middle School, New Lisbon High School, New Lisbon Junior High School, Royall High School, Royall Middle School, Wonewoc-Center High School and Wonewoc-Center Middle School. Leigh Winkler, music director from Wonewoc-Center High School, will be serving as the festival manager. “WSMA is proud of the quality music education experiences we

support teachers in providing for their students. Our long-standing festival programs encourage well-rounded musicians who develop deeper understanding through performance preparation that culminates in comprehensive feedback from a qualified adjudicator. This opportunity, coupled with observing and listening to peer performances, is invaluable for musical growth,” said WSMA Executive Director Laurie Fellenz. WSMA music festivals support school music programs as part of a comprehensive education by encouraging the study of quality music literature; motivating students to prepare and perform to the best of their abilities; improving students’ understanding of music literature and concepts (performance through understanding) and providing a performance assessment to improve individual and group achievement. For more information on WSMA, please visit www.wsmamusic.org.

In the evening hours of Monday, February 10, the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office received reports of a motor vehicle crash on Trussoni Lane in the Town of Genoa. The accident occurred at approximately 5:30P.M. Steven R. Majeske was operating his pickup truck in the southbound lane of Trussoni Lane when he lost control and struck a power pole. The pole broke near ground level and the wires were hanging

between a standing pole and the broken pole. Airbags were not deployed in the collision, and Majeske did not report any injuries. However, Majeske was arrested for Operating Under the Influence 5th Offense.

WONEWOC–CENTER — One up one down for coach Scott Egan’s Hillsboro girls basketball team.

Egan’s Tigers improved to 10–8 overall and 5–6 in the Scenic Bluffs Conference with a 44–30 road victory at Wonewoc–Center Friday night.

Hillsboro suffered a 56–41 loss to visiting Cashton last Tuesday night.

Sophomore Malia Liska scored a game-high 14 points and grabbed six rebounds in Friday’s win over the struggling Wolves (5–13, 1–9).

CRANDALL RECORD WATCHSenior Molly Crandall continued

her pursuit of the Hillsboro girls’ all-time scoring mark.

Despite a tough shooting night (4 for 21), Crandall finished with 12 points, 11 rebounds and six steals.

With her 12 points in Friday’s win, Crandall is now has 1,325 career points, just 10 points shy of Sydney Johnson’s all-time program record of 1,335 points.

She will most likely break the record Thursday night at Necedah. The Tigers will then host Richland Center Saturday at 7:30 p.m. before traveling to New Lisbon Tuesday night.

Senior Grace Holthe added nine points, seven rebounds and three steals. The Tigers made 18 steals in the game to help overcome an ice cold 19.5 percent shooting night (15 of 77). Hillsboro also grabbed 41 rebounds and forced more than 30 turnovers.

Crandall scored a team-high 12


NECEDAH — The Hillsboro wrestling team is getting closer to being full strength.

The Tigers took another step forward over the weekend, placing sixth at the 12-team Scenic, Ridge and Rivers combined conference wrestling tournament.

Senior Kevin Osorio went 2–1 and placed a team-high second place at 220 pounds.

The Tigers also had three third-place finishers in freshmen Jameson Griffiths at 106, and Josiah Thyne at 113, and our junior 182 pounder Casey McCoic.

“I thought the conference tournament went well ,” said Hillsboro head coach Brad Nugent. “Necedah did a great job hosting the tournament. We ended up taking sixth out of 12 teams, so it’s good to be in the top half of the tournament.”

“I think the wrestler who stood out the most was Kevin Osorio,” said Nugent. “He wrestled extremely tough and was able to make it to the Finals match and wrestle a good match against Cezar Garcia, who placed seventh at Bi-State.

Osorio (12–9) pinned Ashton Scott of New Lisbon in the quarterfinals, then defeated Ithaca/Weston’s Marshell Self 12–4, before a 16–0 loss to Garcia in the finals.

Griffiths (15–10) opened with a

9–2 win over Hemi Steele of North Crawford/Seneca, then bounced back after a semifinal loss with a 6–3 win over Ridge Toay of Pecatonica/Argyle in the 106-pound third-place match.

Thyne (6–8), who entered the conference meet just 4–7, posted a 14–6 major decision over Quin Miller of Kickapoo/La Farge in the quarterfinals, then after a semifinal loss rebounded with a 9–7 victory over Hunter Rodebaugh in the 113-pound third-place match.

McCoic (25–8), who finished fourth at 182 at las t year ’s conference tournament, defeated Ithaca/Weston’s Lucas Weitzel 6–3 to place third at 182 on Saturday.

“We had a couple of injuries/illnesses go through the team, so we were able to plug in one of our varsity reserve wrestlers, Denver Hill, at 195 and he wrestled hard and found success taking fourth place.

Hill (5–10) notch a third-period pin of Kickapoo/La Farge’s Aaron Talamantes in the quarterfinals.

Senior Kenton Dvorak (9–8) placed fifth at 285. Freshman Phillip Voltz (9–12) also went 2–1 and placed fifth at 126.

“I was hoping to get a champion or two out of the tournament, but we fell a little bit short,” added Nugent. “Overall, it was a good tournament for us and prepares us for this week’s regional tournament. We are hoping to be fully healthy for the first time since Bi-State.”

NEXT: Hillsboro will compete in the WIAA Division 3 New Lisbon Regional Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m.

BANGOR — Most didn’t expect coach Curt Hildreth’s Tigers to put up a fight against undefeated Ban-gor, especially after the #2-ranked Cardinals went to halftime with a 39–25 lead.

Hillsboro couldn’t complete the comeback, but give Hildreth and his club credit. They never backed down. They pushed the host Cardi-nals to the final horn before Bangor escaped with a 66–60 victory, its closest in 16 games this year.

Bangor (16–0, 9–0) is averaging 77.7 points per game and outscoring its opponents by an average of 29.7 points per game this season. The Cardinals had not had a final score closer than 20 points this calendar year in 10 games until Friday night.

Hillsboro outscored host Bangor 35–27 in the final half to put a scare into the Cardinals.

Will Reader’s 3-pointer from the

corner gave Bangor a 47–33 lead, but the Tigers went on a 24–11 run over the next six minutes to pull within a point at 58–57 lead on a three-point play by senior Noah Feala and a pair of free throws by classmate Seth Wallace.

But senior point guard Hank Reader splashed a triple from the top of the key to make it 61–57 and the Cardinals made 3 of 4 from the line in the final minute to close out the victory.

Hank Reader finished with a game-high 19 points, five assists and four assists.

Senior Grant Manke posted a double–double of 18 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out for the winners. Zane Langrehr added 14 points and a game-high nine assists.

Feala scored all 14 of his points in the Tigers’ second-half comeback. Wallace finished with a team-high 17 points, nine in the second half.

Senior Thorson and fellow senior

Cade Jensen each scored 11 points in the loss for Hillsboro, who fell to 5–3 in the Scenic Bluffs.

The Tigers made 13 of 16 (81.3 percent) free throw attempts in the game, including 12 of 14 (85.7 per-cent) in the second half.

Hillsboro SBC game at Necedah was postponed last Monday and will be made up Feb. 22.

NEXT: The Tigers (7–8, 5–3 SBC) hosted Wonewoc–Center Tuesday night and will now travel to New Lisbon Friday night before traveling to La Farge for a non-con-ference game on Monday night.

Wonewoc-Center continues to put up plenty of points on the offensive end of the hardwood, but the Wolves are still trying to find their way defensively.

Those defensive struggles led to three straight losses in Scenic Bluffs Conference boys basketball action over the past week.

The latest loss came Tuesday night, as Wonewoc-Center dropped a tight SBC battle at neighboring Hillsboro High School.

Last week, the Wolves suffered a tough 76-73 home loss to Brookwood Thursday night, before falling 75-49 to Ithaca in nonconference action at Wonewoc-Center High School on Monday.

Hillsboro 70, WC 64The Wolves kept it close all night,

but a second-half charge came up just shy.

Hillsboro used its home-court advantage to open up a 36-28 lead over the opening 18 minutes of play.

Wonewoc-Center made a run at the Tiger lead in the second half, outscoring Hillsboro 36-34, but the rally fell just short.

“I felt a lot better riding the bus back home knowing we played better (Tuesday night), but there are some things we can do to win ballgames like this one,” said Wonewoc-Center head coach Palmer Schroeder. “The past couple of games, turnovers really hurt us, and overall defensively, it’s not one thing, it’s a lot of things.”

Schroeder is happy with his team’s effort on offense, however.

“We scored 64 points and our bigs are scoring a lot better,” he offered. “If you had told be we’d score 64 points tonight, I’d have been hopeful for a victory.”

Ashton Spencer had a big night on offense, leading the Wolves with a 26-point performance, while teammate Dawson Miller finished with 18 points.

Kaden Sprotte added a 10-point effort for Wonewoc-Center, followed by Tucker Needham with five, Chase Novy with three and Landon Wohlrab with a pair.

Ithaca 75, WC 49Ithaca jumped out to an early lead

and pulled away down the stretch.The Bulldogs held a 34-

22 advantage at the break and outscored Wonewoc-Center 41-27 in the second half.

“Were giving up a lot of points. It’s a growing theme – we know it, the kids know it and everyone

in the conference knows it,” said Schroeder. “We can talk about it all we want, but we can’t answer it until we go out on the court and play better defense.”

Needham led the Wolves with 13 points and Sprotte and Miller each finished with a dozen tallies, while Spencer and Wohlrab added eight and four points, respectively.

Brookwood 76, WC 73The Wolves allowed a big first-

half lead to slip away.Wonewoc-Center came out

strong, opening up a 42-28 lead at the break, before Brookwood answered in the second half by outscoring the Wolves 48-31 to capture the come-from-behind win.

“It was truly a tale of two halves. When you give up 48 points in a half it’s tough to win,” said Schroeder. “The guys played well, on offense especially. They played hard, but when you give up that many points you can expect to lose the game.”

Needham poured in 17 points to lead a quartet of Wonewoc-Center cagers scoring in double figures.

Sprotte and Miller finished with 16 and 15 tallies, respectively, for the Wolves, followed by Spencer with 13, Novy with six, Wohlrab with four and Braeden Skrabel with two.

Wonewoc-Center fell to 0-11 in SBC action and 4-13 overall.

The Wolves, who opened a six-game road trip at Ithaca last week, are on the road for their next four games.

Wonewoc-Center travels to Bangor to take on the second-ranked Cardinals in a 7:15 p.m. SBC match-up Friday night, before traveling to Weston for a 7:30 nonconference contest with the Silver Eagles on Monday.

Scenic Bluffs road games at Cashton on Feb. 20 and New Lisbon on Feb. 24 follow, before Wonewoc-Center returns home on Feb. 27 to host Necedah in the SBC and regular-season finale.

The Lady Wolves watched fast start fizzle in the second half Monday night in a 67-42 loss to Cashton in Scenic Bluffs Conference girls basketball action at Wonewoc-Center High School.

The loss was the third straight for the Wonewoc-Center girl cagers, who fell 56-31 at Royall on Feb. 4 and suffered 44-30 home loss to neighboring Hillsboro on Friday night.

The three-game skid comes in the wake of a three-game winning streak for the Lady Wolves the week earlier.

Cashton 67, WC 42It was a tale of two halves for the

Lady Wolves.A solid defensive effort gave

Wonewoc-Center a 22-20 halftime lead, but Cashton rallied in the

second half, outscoring the Lady Wolves 47-20 to capture the win.

Wonewoc-Center struggled from the floor, connecting on 12 of 51 field goals to shoot 23 percent, while the Eagles made 21 of 56 field goals for 37 percent.

The Lady Wolves missed the mark on all 10 of their attempts from beyond the arc, compared to a two-of-nine effort on three-pointers for Cashton.

“It was cloudy with the color of sun between the cracks of the clouds. The snow under the snowshoes sounded like firecrackers walking underneath us.” So wrote a fifth grader from Lake Superior Elementary in Superior, Wisconsin, after I visited their school for a winter hike and writing workshop.

Mrs. Correll and Mrs. Norton invited me to visit their classes after reading one of my articles in the newspaper. Mrs. Correll explained in an email that, “I am in no way an expert in any area of the outdoors, but I do believe students need to experience as much time outside in our beautiful Northland as possible and I love to give them the opportunity to learn about the history of our area and form an appreciation for it and why it’s important to protect and conserve all of our natural resources.”

How could I argue with that?The playground snow was indeed

crunchy and loud as one class of fifth graders bypassed the slides and swings to meet me by a shrub at the head of a trail leading into the woods. I was thrilled when a girl looked up into the tips of the willow twigs and asked “what are those pine cones doing there?”

Willow pinecone galls are always a fun observation. The midge larva that burrowed into the stem last spring prevented the willow twig from extending. Instead, leaves once destined to flutter along a twig now layered together in the cone-like structures that caught our attention. At the center of all those layers could be the cocoon of the midge, or any of 31 other species that sometimes wiggle into the galls’ layers for shelter.

The students were both attentive to my teaching, and scanning their environment for more. Before I’d finished talking about pinecone galls, I had a different willow gall thrust into my hand. This small, football-shaped gall was a swelling of the stem material instead of a cluster of leaves. I carefully opened a multi-tool and pried open the prize.

On some trees I can see galls,” recounted a student. “They are little bumps on trees and you have to

use a special tool to open it. On the inside there might be a little orange larva. It makes me want to learn more about the larvae and how galls form.”

With the teachers, I’d talked about focusing in on the sensory experiences of being outdoors. So, naturally, I suggested to the kids that they all find a nice, tender willow twig at eye level and chew on it for a second. Their puckered faces and exclamations of “ew, gross!” were exactly what I’d expected. Willow tastes like uncoated aspirin tablets because it contains chemicals that are the basis for aspirin. John Pastor, an ecologist from Duluth, later told me that he thinks deer and moose might seek out willow twigs as winter forage specifically for the painkiller properties.

The willows were great, but the wide path into the open aspen forest looked inviting, too. We crunched on into the woods. “As I walk on the trail, I see some beautiful trees. If I listen closely, I can hear the crunch under my feet and the wind blowing. I can also hear my heavy breathing,” wrote a student.

Deer tracks perforated the wide path. When the lead students gave a shout, I wasn’t surprised to see that they’d found two deer beds in the middle of the trail.

The packed ovals were sprinkled with pebbles of brown scat and stained with yellow snow. Of their own accord, the kids took turns kneeling down and sniffing the deer pee.

Turns out, they’d read a chapter in my Natural Connections book about smelling fox urine, and most (but not all) were excited to try it themselves.

One student wrote, “As I walked around the bend I saw people circling a hole like a herd of animals eating deer. I had no clue what was going on, so I stopped to see a hole

A new generationof nature writers

with poop and pee. I heard Emily Stone say, ‘smell the pee or poop if you want to.’ I was scared to do it, but I smelt the pee. It smelt like raw milk and smelly fart.”

As we wound among the aspen trunks, I was happy to see a rainbow of green and orange lichens at eye level. Mrs. Correll and Mrs. Norton had already introduced lichens as a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an alga, but I couldn’t resist telling my favorite story. “Alice Alga and Freddy Fungus took a “lichen” to each other. They moved to the sticks, and their marriage has been on the rocks ever since!” To my right, a girl gave a theatrical groan. I reveled in the moment. Not only was she

experienced at groaning at “dad jokes,” she’d grasped the concept and the humor fast enough to react.

Overall, I was impressed by the learning community that Mrs. Correll and Mrs. Norton are creating. Back in the classroom, I shared a few tips on writing, and over the next week or so the teachers guided the students in putting their outdoor experiences into words.

They did a great job, so I’ll leave you with a few more of their thoughts.

“Now that you know what I saw you should pay more attention to what’s out in the woods because there may be something cool that you could ask an expert or Google it to learn more.”

“Sometimes it’s good to go outside and see what’s out there.”

“In conclusion, hopefully you learn about nature every day!”

February is National Spay and Neuter Awareness Month

Many Positive EffectsAdopting a shelter animal is the first way to help this problem of pet overpopulation. But making sure they get spayed or neutered is the next step to take as soon as possible. Too many shelter animals are euthanized simply because of overcrowding, and this simple procedure can have many positive effects:

•Less breeding will drive more pet adoptions from animal shelters. You can help save the life of many wonderful animals that deserve a loving home.

•It can help curb potentially harmful behavior, such as roaming, which can lead to traffic deaths or exposure to diseases.

•It adds years to your pet’s life. Dogs live an average of 1 – 3 years longer and cats 3 – 5 years more by reducing the risk of certain cancers, as reported by the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Pets can get pregnant as young as 4 months old. But research shows that dogs and cats can be safely spayed or neutered at 2 months of age or 2 pounds in weight. Check with your veterinarian.

To help raise awareness and ignite pet owners to take action, February has been designated National Spay/Neuter Awareness Month - just in time to help keep Cupid’s arrow away from your pets! It is critical to prevent unwanted litters during the Spring and Summer months. A staggering 6 – 8 million dogs and cats go into the U.S. shelter system each year, yet fewer than half of those find forever homes. Even with this overpopulation crisis, as many as 13% of dog owners and 20% of cat owners say their pet has had one or more litters!

Sunday morning we awoke to a winter wonderland, watching the falling snow create Christmas card scenery as we looked out our windows. The telephone lines were humming with church’s calling committees notifying parishioners of canceled services due to dangerous travel conditions. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, we are blessed with television and radio evangelists providing us with church in our homes. Needless to say, there wasn’t much traffic on our road even after the town plow went through and our neighbor cleared our driveway and shoveled our paths to the shed. During the past week February treated us to eight days of sunshine before the landscape changed to white. Last Tuesday, Dave and I were at Tomah Health where we attended the Parkinson’s Support Group. Wednesday and Friday we had medical appointments at St. Joseph Gundersen Health in Hillsboro and Gundersen Health in Onalaska. Traveling was perfect both days and we are glad we don’t have to go very far afield this week! Up at the Garvens, Arlene enjoyed the good weather as she picked up Brenda Steinmetz in Elroy and went to Madison for the Cross Town

Violet Club meeting at Olbrich Gardens. Friday evening, Jim and Mary Parkhurst joined Ron and Arlene for fish supper at the Pony Express in Kendall. Wednesday morning Randy Parkhurst arrived from Orfordvile to take his parents Jim and Mary shopping and to take care of some business. He went home that evening. Saturday grandson Guy Parkhurst drove up from Janesville and spent the night with Jim and Mary, braving the weather Sunday morning as he drove home. Allan Vlasak was glad that the weather continued to behave Saturday morning as he drove to Westby to attend the Vernon Electric Coop meeting as a delegate from our area. And now for the activities of Lynette Vlasak and Sally Dana during the past week. On Wednesday the gals joined Cheryl Neitzel, Carol Fronk, Luann Huber and Betty Boeder for lunch at Fountain Chateau in Hustler. Later the mah jong group met for some entertainment. Thursday, our gals lunched at Benders in Elroy with Karen Theis and Monica Verbsky of Hillsboro and with Wilmer and Deanna Holak of Sparta. Saturday morning they were at the Wilton

Elementary School where they donated blood, then it was up to Tomah High School to see great-nephew Brett Marty wrestle with his age group. From there they went west to La Crosse for lunch at the Texas Roadhouse. Next, Sally met her traveling buddies and left for Minneapolis and the airport to fly out on Sunday for their annual trip to Mexico. Although the flight was delayed for a few hours they were finally airborne and on their way. The above reminded me of the movie “Airport” that was filmed at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport about 50 years ago; I was working for the Minnesota Department of Manpower Services at the time and the employment offices were providing extras for the crowd scenes. Several of my coworkers signed up and appeared in the movie. We had to watch the movie twice, once to watch for our friends and the second time to enjoy the story. The weather for the movie was much like it was this past Sunday and a perfect backdrop for a story about a snowbound airport. The Lord brought Guy Parkhurst safely home Sunday morning and saw Sally’s flight safely off to Mexico in spite of the accidents reported on the news Sunday night. God takes good care of His creation during all of our comings and goings. While Sally is away, their dog Benny will celebrate his first birthday and Lynette told Sally that he would be fully trained when she got back home. Lynette is depending on a lot of help from the Lord to accomplish her goal! In the meantime we continue to thank and praise Him in all circumstances and we extend wishes for a happy St. Valentine’s Day to all!

INFORMATION TO VOTERSUpon entering the polling place, a voter shall state his or her name and address, show an acceptable form of photo identification and sign the poll book before being permitted to vote. If a voter does not have acceptable photo identification the voter may obtain a free photo ID for voting from the Division of Motor Vehicles. If a voter is not registered to vote, a voter may register to vote at the polling place serving his or her residence, if the voter presents proof of residence in a form specified by law. Where ballots are distributed to voters, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot. Upon being permitted to vote, the voter shall retire alone to a voting booth and cast his or her ballot except that a voter who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the voter’s minor child or minor ward. An election official may inform the voter of the proper manner for casting a vote, but the official may not in any manner advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

Where Paper Ballots are UsedThe voter shall make a mark (X) in the square next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the voter shall make a mark (X) in the square next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the voter shall make a mark (X) in the square next to “no” if opposed to the question.

Where Optical Scan Voting is UsedThe voter shall fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote and fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to the write-in line. On referendum questions, the voter shall fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the voter shall fill in the oval or connect the arrow next to “no” if opposed to the question.

Where Touch Screen Voting is UsedThe voter shall touch the screen at the name of the candidate of his or her choice for each office for which he or she intends to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall type in the name of the person of his or her choice in the space provided for a write-in vote. On referendum questions, the voter shall touch the screen at “yes” if in favor of the question, or the voter shall touch the screen at “no” if opposed to the question.

The vote should not be cast in any other manner. Not more than five minutes’ time shall be allowed inside a voting booth. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the voter in casting his or her vote may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone in a manner that would reveal how the ballot is marked.

Spoiled BallotsIf the voter spoils a paper or optical scan ballot, he or she shall return it to an election official who shall issue another ballot in its place, but not more than three ballots shall be issued to any one voter. If the ballot has not been initialed by two inspectors or is defective in any other way, the voter shall return it to the election official, who shall issue a proper ballot in its place.

The voter may spoil a touch screen ballot at the voting station before the ballot is cast.

After Voting the BallotAfter an official paper ballot is marked, it shall be folded so the inside marks do not show, but so the printed endorsements and inspectors’ initials on the outside do show. The voter shall deposit the voted ballot in the ballot box or deliver the ballot

City of Viroqua, WisconsinThis 25th day of January 2020

/s/ Ronald C. Hoff Vernon County Clerk2/12 WNAXLP

to an inspector for deposit, and shall leave the polling place promptly.

After an official optical scan ballot is marked, it shall be inserted in the security sleeve, so the marks do not show. The voter shall insert the ballot in the voting device and discard the sleeve or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. If a central count system is used, the voter shall insert the ballot in the ballot box and discard the sleeve or deliver the ballot to an inspector for deposit. The voter shall leave the polling place promptly.

After an official touch screen ballot is cast, the voter shall leave the polling place promptly.

A voter may select an individual to assist in casting his or her vote if the voter de-clares to the presiding official that he or she is unable to read, has difficulty reading, writing or understanding English or that due to disability is unable to cast his or her ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the voter’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the voter.

The following is a sample of the official ballot:

Important Information about your Drinking Water

Corrosion Control Recommendation Requirements Not Met for

Hillsboro Waterworks

We are required to complete a corrosion control recommendation for reducing copper in drinking water. Ninetieth percentile results of compliance samples exceeded the copper action level during the most recent compliance period. The corrosion control recommendation required us evaluate our water quality and recommend options for reducing copper in drinking water. We did not complete this requirement by 12/31/19.

What precautions should be taken at this time?Let the water run from the tap before using it for drinking or cooking any time the water in a faucet has gone unused for more than 6 hours. Do not cook with, or drink water from the hot water tap.

What was the cause of the missed corrosion control recommendation requirement?The WI DNR did not provide clear guidance for completing the corrosion control recommendation.

What is being done to correct the problem?Hillsboro Waterworks continues to improve the quality of water through treatment, including following treatment guidelines in

WI DNR approved corrosion control study. Hillsboro Waterworks is completing the additional corrosion control worksheet to determine if additional treatment measures are recommended. Hillsboro Waterworks has requested the WI DNR provide better notification and communication when resolving outstanding issues.

When will the problem be resolved?Hillsboro Waterworks will submit the corrosion control recommendation by February 28th, 2020.

By Kristen ParrottCurator Voting is on everyone’s mind these days, with several upcoming elections. It was on people’s minds 150 years ago, too, in February of 1870, when the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. This amendment declares that “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” The purpose of the amendment was to give the vote to African-American men. Women did not get the vote until 1920. And in reality, many African Americans, especially those living in the South, were denied the vote until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Frederick Douglass, who escaped slavery himself and then worked to abolish it, urged passage of the 15th Amendment on the grounds that all soldiers who fought in the Civil War deserved the right to vote. This included the African-American soldiers who had served in the United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.) during the war. Several local people served in the U.S.C.T. Four men from Vernon County’s Cheyenne Valley area in the Town of Forest served in Company F of the 29th Regiment of the U.S.C.T.: Charles Allen, Aaron Roberts, William Stewart, and Alfred Weaver. Wisconsin historian Jeff Kannel has researched these men and written a short booklet about them, available from our museum’s bookstore. He is also working on a full-length book about Wisconsin’s African-American Civil War soldiers. In addition to these four men, others from Vernon County were also affected by the passage of the 15th Amendment. Ed Harris was born into slavery and came to Vernon County shortly after the Civil War. He farmed in the Town of Union. The 1884 History of Vernon County notes that he prepared to move north to Canada shortly before the presidential election of 1868, fearing that if Seymour and

Museum NotesVernon CountyBlair were elected, slavery would be reinstated. Instead, Ulysses S. Grant was elected President, and Schuyler Colfax became Vice President. One year later, with the President’s support, Congress approved the 15th Amendment, and by 1870, three-fourths of the states had ratified it and the amendment was entered into the U.S. Constitution. President Grant then wrote to Congress, “A measure which makes at once 4,000,000 people voters who were heretofore declared by the highest tribunal in the land not citizens of the United States, nor eligible to become so…is indeed a measure of grander importance than any other one act of the kind from the foundation of our free Government to the present day.” These words from a man who had himself once owned an enslaved person. So, Ed Harris did not move to Canada and continued to live in Vernon County. He remained a free person, and lived to see the day when he also could vote.

Francis and Cecile Haugh may have known each other in high school, but you might not refer to them as high school sweethearts. “He chased me for four years before we got married,” recalls Cecile. But marry they did, on May 27, 1958, and they’ve been married for nearly 62 years now. Throughout their time together, the Haughs have enjoyed dancing together and traveling together, visiting all but two states and seeing parts of Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Canada. For Francis and Cecile, the key to a long-lasting marriage is not so easily pinned down. But if they had to put it into a single word, they’d say respect is perhaps the most important thing in a long marriage.
