do, business owners in Stock- holm have come together to create the rst annual "Eventive Stockholm" day on April 26. From 9:30 to 5:30, with time for lunch, visitors from near and far will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on, creative, engaging, and enjoyable experi- ences in Stockholm. "This is the very rst time any- thing like this has been done," said owner of Abode Gallery, Alan Nugent. "We're just going to see what happens." Three total events are sched- uled for the year, starting with the rst on Saturday. Events will is against the law, and the action was not properly noticed. James Goss was appointed as Pepin/Buffalo County Veterans Service Ofcer. The Board ap- proved the appointment. Six can- didates were interviewed for the position. Pat Poeschel, from the Land Conservation Department, spoke to the Board regarding the Out- door Recreation Aids resolu- tion. She explained the State is requiring counties that receive snowmobile trail aids adopt a resolution. She said the County isn't acquiring land, but is going to continue to receive money to maintain the trails. Poeschel said they have approximately a year to get the resolution on le to satisfy the State's requirement. The Board tabled the resolution after discussion in order to more thoroughly notice the action. The resolution will go back to committee, and return to the full Board next month. The annual Land Conservation report was postponed for the next meeting. An amendment to Ordinance No. 179-Pepin County Code of Ordinances, revisions to Chapter 6 Emergency Management was approved.

Submitted Photo In ofce since January 1987, John Andrews, Pepin County Sheriff, announced that he will not seek re-election earlier this month. Andrews' law enforcement career began in the early 1970s, when he worked as a dispatcher in Pepin County for three years. He then worked in Grundy Cen- ter, Iowa, for a short period of time before moving back to Minnesota. Andrews returned to Pepin County in 1978, and worked in Plum City for eight years before running for sheriff. "At that time, several people were running for sheriff, so I put my name out there as an option," Andrews said. "There was some controversy in the department at the time, and I ran on the Demo- cratic ticket." Andrews said ve were in the running for sheriff that year, and he campaigned, and won the election. "I had a plan to be here for 10 years," he said. "That would have been 18 years ago. I just never quit." Andrews described his time as sheriff as a good run. He an- nounced his retirement three weeks ago. "I knew there was other inter- est, so I decided to make a career change," Andrews said. He said he is looking at differ- ent business ventures, and plans to travel, and spend more time with family and friends. Andrews said one of the big- gest changes he has witnessed is the increase in the amount of drugs, and because of that, an increase in mental health issues, and deterioration of families. "That causes problems for not only law enforcement, but for society in general," he said. "We keep putting bandaids on peo- ple with programming, but the real problem is never really ad- dressed." Andrews said he can remem- ber when he was studying at the University of Minnesota, no-fault divorces were common, and chil- dren were not, and should not, be a part of the divorce, which al- lowed people to go their separate ways. "Now we have children who grow up without supervision or direction in their life," he said. "They get into the judicial sys- tem, and most make it through, but some don't. They then deal with law enforcement, and the jails deal with them." Andrews said in the 1970s, it was unusual to have anyone in jail, other than maybe one or two people. "Now, our average just in Pepin County is 16 or 17, plus those we hold from outside the county," he said. "We have more Patrick Milliren took his oath of ofce April 17 after being re- elected as Mayor of the City of Durand in the April election. In a regular meeting held April 15, the Pepin County Board of Supervisors welcomed new members. Steve Anderson is the new su- pervisor for District 12, which represents the Town of Stock- holm, Village of Stockholm, and Town of Pepin-ward 2. Betty Bergmark was elected for Dis- trict 6, representing the City of Durand-ward 3. Kim Seipel was elected for District 11, represent- ing the Village of Pepin-ward 1. Gerald M. Bauer was elected for District 5, representing the City of Durand-ward 2. Randy Weiss was elected for District 2, repre- senting the Town of Lima-ward 1. All supervisors took an oath of ofce following the introduction of new supervisors. A reorganization of the Board was held. Pete Adler and Jim Kraft were nominated for Chair- man, and Adler won with a 9-3 ballot vote. Dwight Jelle and Jim Kraft were nominated for 1st Vice-Chairman, and Jim Daw- son received a write-in vote. Jelle was elected 1st Vice-Chairman by a ballot vote, 9-2-1, respec- tively. Jim Dawson, Jim Kraft, and Kim Seipel were nominated for 2nd Vice-Chairman. Dawson was elected to the position by a ballot vote, 7-3-2, respectively. In public comments, Helen Kees appeared to express her ob- jection to the Board's action on a resolution regarding Outdoor Recreation Aids. Kees stated the agenda was very generic, which In a reorganizational meeting held April 17, the Durand City Council welcomed new coun- cilmember Don Hayden. Mayor Patrick Milliren personally wel- comed Hayden to the Council. Milliren renewed his oath of ofce, and Ccuncilmembers Hayden, Clarence Weissinger, Jr., and Allen Gould all took their oath of ofce. A unanimous ballot was cast for Jason Schoonover as Council President. A unanimous ballot was cast for Denise Polzer as Vice Presi- dent. Milliren reported the spot formerly held by Councilmem- ber Char Anderson on the Pub- lic Safety and Public Welfare Committee will be taken over by Hayden. Milliren reported the Spe- cial Committee has a good mix of people with Gould, Hayden, Steve Schoeld, and himself. Milliren reported Jerome Bauer agreed to another term on the City Planning Commission, and David Christopherson is tak- ing the place of Jerry Thompson. All appointments were ap- proved as presented. Thomas Gianforte was re- appointed to the Zoning Board of Appeals, and Todd Bechel agreed to nish the two years of his term. Jeff Poeschel took Mike Miles' place on the Community Devel- opment Committee. Appoint- ments were approved. Ambulance policies were dis- cussed.

Radle attended his nal meeting April 16. Christina Lindstrom Photos Durand BOE recognizes Radle for years of service Tammy Hoyt and Bill Yingst took an oath of ofce after being re-elected to the school board this month. In a regular meeting held April 16, the Durand Board of Education reviewed results of the facilities study, and thanked Galen Radle for his many years of service on the school board, as the meeting was the last one for Radle. The consent agenda, including the agenda, minutes of the regu- lar meeting March 19, vouchers, and the treasurers report, was approved. The junior class president and vice president appeared before the board to report on student ac- tivities. They reported on the Ac- ademic Decathlon Team, foren- sics, the musical, reality check, and other events and activities. Principals Bill Clouse and Eri- ka Johnson reported on Educator Effectiveness. Educator Effec- tiveness will go into effect for the 2014-15 school year, and im- pacts how teachers are evaluated. Johnson reported they have spent the last two years trying to gague educator effectiveness. She said one of the biggest af- fects for administrators and teachers have been SLOs, or Stu- dent Learning Objectives written by the teachers. Administrators complete School Learning Ob- jectives. Johnson reported this helps the staff do a better job of taking meaningful data. Each teacher does two SLOs per year. Johnson said many teachers already com- plete SLOs, but Educator Effec- tiveness will make the objectives more thorough. Clouse reported educators are scored on a four-point scale, and said the district wants twos and threes, but not ones. He said twos and threes are quality educators, and a four-rating is a place teach- ers will visit, but cant maintain on a day-to-day basis. Clouse said there is a rated year, then two non-rated years. Clouse said the Department of Public Instruction determines the years. First-year teachers au- tomatically get rated in their rst and second year. Clouse said a lot of time is involved, and he is interested to see the impact the program has on learning. Board members Bill Yingst and Tammy Hoyt took an oath of ofce after being re-elected earlier this month, and Superin- tendent Greg Doverspike shared 2014 election results. An out-of-state travel request was made by Mrs. Johnson and the 3rd grade team to travel to the Minnesota Science Muse- um. The trip will be funded by students, the third grade budget, and the fundraiser account. The fundraiser account through the PTO will also help offset any cost shortages for students that are unable to afford the trip. The Board approved the request. Doverspike reported no change in the summer school offerings, and the requests were approved as presented. Representatives from SDS Ar- chitects and Market & Johnson were present at the meeting to present the ndings of the facil- ities study. The study started in February. Data collection and documentation was completed in February and March, recommen- dations and budgets are being worked on in April, and concepts and approach will be completed in May through July, with option renement in August. The representatives reported that the facilities are well-main- tained, and there were no major surprises, though some issues were reported in the original part of the high school building. A number of issues were pointed out at Caddie Woodlawn, and the representative said the building is outdated and un- der-utilized. A pitched parking lot was recommended at Arkansaw Ele- mentary School to allow water to drain, and to replace well equip- ment. 2015 high school classes un- der the policy minimum were presented by Clouse. Many of the classes are either combined with another class, transcripted credit with CVTC, AP, or taught via distance learning. The class list was approved. Mrs. Johnson, along with Ryan Miller, Kathy Forster, and Wendy Arneson proposed the creation of a summer reading program throughout the district. The teachers presented to the Board, and sought approval for use of a school van for a book- mobile. They stated there is a reading loss in the summer, and hope with a summer bookmo- bile, the loss will be curbed. The teachers stated the pro- gram would focus on 4K through fth grade, and 14 teachers have already volunteered their time to help over the summer. The pro- gram will offer read-aloud time, book check-out, and snacks. The program is hoped to be offered at Memorial Park, AES, Eau Galle Park, Rock Falls park, and Tarrant Park every Tuesday. Funding will come from the Title I budget, and the Scholas- tic Literacy Partnership program. When done with the books, they get handed out to students. One teacher reported talking to students about the potential program, and they were very excited. Doverspike thanked the teachers for coming, and said he thought the cost of gas was a good investment. He said ad- ministration supports the idea, and noted it was commendable for the 14 or so teachers who had volunteered their time over the summer. The Board approved. A contract with MJ Care for SBS and MAC was approved at a cost of approximately $5,000. The Curriculum, Instruction, and Technology Committee met March 26, and recommended a middle school/high school En- glish textbook adoption. The goal is to purchase as many grades this year as the budget allows, and to purchase the remaining materials in future years. The Board approved. The Facilities, Finance, and Transportation Committee met April 10. Doverspike reported the purchase of a new scoreboard for the main gym was approved using advertising dollars. The current scoreboards will go to the new gym. A new sound system is hoped to be installed in the main gym by graduation, and it will be used for all events. The committee also recom- mended a lunch and breakfast price increase of 10 cents for students, a 25 cent lunch increase for staff, and 15 cent breakfast increase for staff. Doverspike said the school is seeing a dras- tic decline, and is serving 14,500 less meals now than two or three years ago. The Board approved. Doverspike reported the net defecit is currently at $160,000 for the 2014-15 budget. The CVTC Academy Program meeting was postponed until Thursday. Doverspike reminded the Board Durand is hosting the WASB new board meeting on April 17 in the high school caf- eteria. Doverspike reported the new bill regarding minute require- ments was signed into law, which means there is no longer a 180 day requirement for school. Doverspike said this gives the school some more exibility in calculating summer school min- utes for state aid purposes. The WIAA is keeping con- ference realignment responsi- bilities. The private school mul- tiplier was pushed to an ad-hoc committee. Recommendations will be presented to the WIAA by September 1, and to the Board of Control by December 1. Clouse reminded the Board that graduation is May 23 at 7 p.m. The next meeting will be held May 21. Local couple opening tness center in Pepin Brad and Danni Noel, pictured with their son, Landon, are opening Forever Fit in Pepin. A grand opening will be held this weekend, and the 24/7 hours of operation will begin Wednesday, April 30. Christina Lindstrom Photo Brad and Danni Noel, who have lived in Pepin all their lives, said they remember the tness center in Pepin, but never used it. I believe it hasnt been a t- ness center since we were still in high school, or close to it, Danni said. The Noels are reopening the center, Forever Fit, this weekend. Brad has always wanted to do something like this, and has looked into different businesses, Danni said. Were more into t- ness now ourselves, and we think this is a good thing for the com- munity. About two months ago, I called the owner of the building to see what his plan was for it, Brad said. He told me he want- ed to see it become a tness cen- ter, and wanted someone in the area to run and manage it. The goal of Forever Fit is to encourage healthy lifestyles in the community, Danni said. Its family-friendly, open 24 hours, and will offer a supervised play room on Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings, she said. The 24/7 tness facility will offer Zumba for kids and adults, reexology by appointment, and a full range of cardio training and strength training equipment. Were hoping to eventually incorporate a trainer, Brad said. That would be ideal. Theres something for every age group, Danni said. We have something everyone can use, whether theyre training for a marathon or just want to be heart healthy. Both the Noels plan to main- tain their full-time jobsDanni is a counselor in the Plum City School District, and Brad works construction. Brad said they hope to provide a positive place the community can use. Theres more and more re- search about being heart healthy, Danni said. We want to encour- age healthy lifestyles, and want to offer an environment for peo- ple to exercise and destress. The Noels said they are open to suggestions on how to im- prove and create a place that ts peoples needs. A grand opening will be held Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Monday and Tue- sady from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Free reexology will be offered on Sunday from 10-5. Danni said people are welcome to come those four days to work out for free, check the facility out, and sign up for memberships. Free zumba classes will also be offered for adults on Satur- day from 9-9:30, Sunday from 1-1:30, and Monday and Tuesday from 6-6:30. Free kids Zumba classes will be offered Saturday from 9:30-10, and Sunday from 1:30-2. 24/7 facility hours begin Wednesday, April 30. 24629 THRIFT/ RUMMAGE SALE At the Old Store in Arkansaw FRIDAY, APRIL 25 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. SATURDAY, APRIL 26 8 a.m. to Noon(?) 1965-83 Copenhagen porcelain collector plates, clothing of many sizes, lots of infant girls, size 10 womens boots, scrubs, exercise stuff, books and much, much misc.!

PAGE 3 April 24, 2014 THE COURIER-WEDGE Sheriff continued from front by larger industry, and the pop- ulation makeup has changed. Not all change is bad." Andrews said he doesn't feel the bandaid approach is correct. "Problems need to be proper- ly dealt with," he said. "I believe the answer is supporting family structure." Andrews said the biggest issue the department will be facing is monies and budgetary issues. "For the last 10 years, jail staff- ing has been an issue," he said. "The State wants us to increase stafng. We've had success keep- ing the staff at a status quo, but an increase will be difcult." Andrews said Pepin County has a very ne staff in its jail. "They're excellent," he said. They know their jobs and are well-trained, and very profes- sional." On the patrol side, Andrews said the largest issue will be to stay trained on issues relating to technology and cyber crimes. "I know there are a lot of them going on," he said. "A lot will be taken out by state agencies. We can just take the reports and for- ward them on." Andrews said he has never believed having an investigator in Pepin County has been some- thing to discuss. "We have ve patrol deputies, and if you take investigations away from them, they become very stagnant," Andrews said. "A special team is brought in for major crimes, but any one of our deputies are very capable of in- vestigating." The Pepin County Sheriff's Department has 18 members on staff, including 10 in the jail and dispatch center, ve deputies, the chief deputy, a secretary, and the sheriff. "I can't say enough about the people who work here," Andrews said. "The department is a well- oiled machine. They're the ones who make the department." Working in a small commu- nity, Andrews said one of the most important things is working closely with other agencies in the county. "The size of your organization doesn't matter," he said. "You still have the same kinds of crimes as larger organizations, but the vol- ume isn't as high. We operate dif- ferently and have to learn how to deal with people better." Andrews said if an ofcer re- sponds to a situation that has escalated, the ofcer has to talk their way through. "I think our ofcers have more tact in dealing with people," he said. "It may not be the safest job, but our ofcers are more capable. It's basically a survival thing." Another benet to working in a small community is knowing everyone. "Especially with people we've dealt with before, we know how they will act or react," Andrews said. "We are able to have a good read on who they are. We never pretend to have all the answers, but we can respond in a positive way." Andrews also offered some advice to the next Pepin County Sheriff. "Don't micromanage the de- partment," he said. "You need to recognize the staff's capability, and put the staff rst." Andrews said it is important for the next sheriff to remember what their job really is. "You are here to protect and serve the people of Pepin Coun- ty," he said. "Don't make it all about you and your legacy. It's about your department and the people you serve." Andrews said he really val- ues the staff in the Pepin County Sheriff's Department. "They've been my law en- forcement family, and we've had a good relationship through the years," he said. "I want to thank the people of Pepin County for supporting me in my 28 years as sheriff, and my wife, Vicki, for standing by my side for all these years." Board continued from front continued from front Beth Anderson was appointed as a citizen member to the Board of Health. Dorothy Peters was appointed as a citizen member to the Human Services Board. Chairman Pete Adler stated he wanted to keep the two seats on the ADRC open for now to give the committee time to look over their options. He said he felt at least one member should be someone on the Human Services Board. No other public comments were offered. Adler notied the Board of the Wisconsin Counties Association Meeting in Eau Claire April 24. He said he was unable to attend, but the meeting is for new and old members. Supervisor Sean Scallon gave a brief Land Conservation Com- mittee update, and said a con- tract for park maintenance was approved. The committee is also discussing a washout by a dock in one of the parks. The meeting was adjourned after a brief discussion regarding committee reports. calls. Sinz said previously, the am- bulance has canceled, went back to the re hall, did their paper- work, and were done. Now, the state is recommending going to the scene, making contact, and getting a waiver signed. Six to- tal policies were presented to be approved. The Council requested time to review the policies, and will bring questions back to the next meeting. Milliren reported the Council agreed that another major project following the Washington Street Council Project may be pushed further than two years due to the major funding needed. A discussion was also held regarding the re- placement of all old water meters in the City, and making payments on the purchase, rather than set- ting aside money to purchase meters in sections. A meeting was held April 23. See next week's Courier-Wedge for a report. also be held August 16, and No- vember 15. "There may be more business- es involved in the later events," Nugent said. "I've already been approached by a couple." Starting late last fall, Nugent said he had a chat with a few owners of businesses that are open year-round. "We tried to think of what we could do to keep things going," he said. "We came up with this idea, and started with the April date. The idea is to not just create a sale or shopping experience, but to offer something you can't get anywhere else." Nugent said businesses that are open year-round have been instrumental in this event. "There are about ve of us open all year, and a couple weren't able to participate in the rst event, but want to in the fu- ture," he said. "It's been exciting to see the response so far." Nugent said market research was completed to get feedback from guests to nd out what they would like to do other than just drive through or shop. The rst Eventive Stockholm will offer nine experiences to choose from, with the opportuni- ty to participate in any number of the sessions throughout the day. "There is space to do all of them if you want," Nugent said. "It'd be tight, but it's possible. Or you can select the ones that stand out." A break is built into the day for lunch. "It was up to the individual businesses to create their experi- ence," Nugent said. "We had the caveat to do hands-on, creative things. People will have the op- portunity to learn to do some- thing different and exciting." Nugent said all of the sessions are taught by local artists or are local-inspired. "One thing, the Saami histo- ry session, isn't local, but it has an interesting historical tie," he said. Stockholm's typical "busy sea- son" is May through November, and the village is especially bus- tling in October when people are out to see the colorful leaves. While a one of the sessions is free, most require a small fee to cover the cost of materials. Nu- gent said nothing is built into the fee for prot. "We wanted to keep it afford- able so everything is approach- able," he said. "We don't want this to be unattainable to anyone. The cool thing about Stockholm, from the Gallery to Hugga Bug- ga, is that there is every type of experience available." The sessions begin with an apple tree planting, grafting, and growing experience at Maiden Rock Winery Cidery. Particpants will learn about basic spring care for apple trees, and how to pre- pare trees for the year. Orchard staff will provide considerations on apples to grow, how to pro- ceed with selecting varieties, and when/if you would want to con- sider grafting. The session is lim- ited to 15 people, and runs from 9:30-10:15. Next is the sampling event at The Stockholm Pie Company from 10:15-10:45, featuring two of the newest pies, Markus' Ap- ple Beer and Lar's Layered Choc- olate Cream, as well as the most famous pie, the Double Lemon. Participants will also learn how the recipe for the beer pie came about. The sampling event is lim- ited to 10 people. An interior design session will be held at the Abode Gal- lery from 10:45-11:15 to talk about the current hottest trends in fabrics, ooring, and tile. The session, which is limited to 12 people, is free, and will offer a hands-on guide to some of the newest, hottest things on the market, with time to ask design questions. Saami history, art, and culture will be presented at Ingebretsen's from 11:15-11:45. This session will discuss the indigenous peo- ple of far northern Europe and a living culture, the Saami. Mem- bers of the North American Saa- mi community will be present throughout the day to meet and talk with particpants. Anessa An- dersland and John Xavier will give a presentation on Saami history, art, and culture. The ses- sion will be repeated from 12:45- 1:15. Stockholm General will host a Wisconsin Craft Beer Sampling session from 1:30-2, offering a tasty and educational adventure into some of the best of Wiscon- sin's craft beers. This session has a 10-person limit. Abode Gallery is hosting "The Art of Inspiration through Journaling" from 2:15-3:15 at the Stockholm Village Hall. The class is dedicated to talking about creativity and inspiration through journaling. Class partici- pants will be encouraged to share their thoughts and past drawings, lyrics, or poems, and are encour- aged to bring their own journals and sketch books. Time will be set aside for journaling at the end of the session, and journals will be available for purchase. The session is limited to 15 people. An Event for Coffee Lovers will be hosted at the Stockholm Pie Company from 3:30-4:00. Participants will enjoy coffee from Fortunata's Coffee in Foun- tain City. Joe Libera, owner of Fortunata's, will be present to tell participants all they need to know about coffee, talk about his love of coffee, and how he named the company for his grandmother. The session is limited to 10 peo- ple. Finally, to nish the day, a Hard Apple Cider session will be held at Maiden Rock Winery Ci- dery from 4:30-5:30. Participants will learn the history of hard ap- ple cider, sample cider, and tour the production area and cider or- chard. The session is limited to 15 people. "Only one session repeats, while the others are unique," Nugent said. "Some people may choose to participate in all of the sessions, while others will choose three or four and take time to explore the village." Nugent said the event has some really cool people coming in. "I hope people will walk away with a sense of appreciation for learning new things for creativi- ty, and how exciting taking a step out of their day-to-day lives can be," he said. Nugent said they are encourag- ing sign-ups, and those interested in a session can call the business at which the session will be held. Nugent also said the Widespot will be offering a free event, "Shakes on the Lake," for Shake- speare's 450th birthday. The event starts at 6 p.m. The Stockholm Pie Company will be hosting one of the sessions, a sampling event. Sign-ups are required for the pie sampling session, and attendance is limited to 10.

AES second grade students were all winners in Post 181s Annual Coloring Contest. AES Student Cowen Christy was joined by Post 181 members Paul Fedie, Dean Mock, and Leigh Hagness when he displayed his winning entry in Post 181s Annual Coloring Durands American Le- gion Post 181 held its Annual Coloring Contest this month. Post 181 members visited As- sumption Catholic School, and Arkansaw Elementary Schools on April 9, 2014 to visit with the second graders and to pass out awards for their efforts. All of the students did a great job, they were all winners. Eash of them received a $1.00 coin. Post member Rich Webb has been in charge of this project for many years and has done a great job making sure that it continues to take place every spring. Mike Anibas said he, Stan Brunner and two of their friends had a touch of Spring Fever. They decided to skip morn- ing classes. They got to school during the noon hour and told their teacher they had a at tire. The teacher smiled and said: You missed a test so spread out, take a piece of paper and answer my question. Question one is, which tire was at? It seems as though the winter of 2013-2014 is winding down. I think its fair to say most people welcome the change in season with temperatures being high- er than fty degrees. With the warmer weather, folks will have the chance to participate in some unique outdoor opportunities that make our community a great place to work, live and raise a family. A little over a week ago, a true sign of spring came when the turkey hunting season opened for youth. Youth hunting events give hunters ages 10-15 an op- portunity to hunt and gain valu- able experience without com- peting against adult hunters. Special seasons for a variety of species allow only youngsters to hunt during these days under the supervision of their mentor. For wild turkey, white-tailed deer and waterfowl, one week- end each year, prior to the nor- mal hunting season, has been set aside for persons 10-15 years of age to gain experience. Unless the youth is participating in the Hunting Mentorship Program, all youth hunters need to have successfully completed a Hunter Education Program, hold all re- quired permits and tags, and be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian 18 years of age or old- er. I encourage more experienced hunters to mentor youth so the next generation of hunters learn the skills they need to be good hunters for the rest of their life. Once the youth hunt is com- plete, spring hunting kicks off with the rst week, or period of the season. With Period A of the season ending and moving into Period B this week, spring turkey hunting is in full swing. There are two seasons in which people can hunt turkey in Wis- consin, either in the spring or fall. Every year, the application deadline is December 10th for spring permits and August 1st for fall permits. In order to re- ceive a permit, people must ap- ply by application at any DNR service center, licensing agent or through the online service center for $3. Successful applicants are notied via mail with remaining turkey permits from the lottery being sold over-the-counter on a rst-come, rst-served basis. The fact that Wisconsin can have two turkey hunting sea- sons is truly remarkable and shows our dedication to wildlife conservation and management. According to the DNR, turkeys were absent from Wisconsin as recently as the 1970s, but today are so abundant that our spring turkey harvests rank among the highest in the nation. Some- April Brings Hunting Opportunities times the turkey numbers and overall population uctuate due to natural factors, such as food availability and weather. Even in harsh winters, turkeys have prov- en themselves to be tolerant of the conditions, with populations established throughout the north- ern part of the state. After twenty years of rapidly increasing tur- key populations and turkey har- vests, turkeys in Wisconsin now seem to be stabilizing at levels suitable to the available habitat on the landscape. This is great news because it means the next generation of hunters will have the same opportunities those be- fore them had. For those who successfully harvest a turkey, it must be reg- istered to the DNR either by tele- phone at 1-888-HUNT-WIS, or online at http://dnr.wi.gov/har- vestdata/default.aspx. The regis- tration does not necessarily have to happen the day of harvest, but it must be recorded by 5pm the day following the harvest. For more information about turkey hunting in Wisconsin, please vis- it the DNRs website at http:// dnr.wi.gov/topic/hunt/turkey. html to nd answers to any ques- tions you may have. Good luck this season!
"YOU are the reason why we were so successful Eric Borg- erding of the Wisconsin Hospital Association told the health advo- cates. "You are extremely effec- tive in communicating with and educating your legislators on lo- cal health care issues." Recently over 800 health advo- cates traveled to Madison. Some 65 western Wisconsin advocates met with Senator Moulton, staff and I to discuss the challenges facing hospitals. And they shared their passion for caregiving and healing. Health leaders face new chal- lenges with the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Leaders from Durand, Black River Falls, and Whitehall shared a frustration with the new health law. Theres not a good model for rural hospitals, one adminis- trator told me. We need a rural model where we all work togeth- er - schools, nursing homes, the county, Western Dairyland. We need to get back to pri- mary care: education, nutrition, parenting including health care of children. We must really get on that side of it. Theres a real need and real cost savings - in preventing health problems. Think about the mom whose child has an ear infection coming to the Emergency Department at 2:00 am. By law, the hospital must treat the patient. The doc- tor must do a health assessment. But this isnt the best place for the mom or the child. She real- ly needs parent education to help her with common childhood ill- nesses. She may not get that in the ED. For everyone including Health Advocates Inform and Challenge Lawmakers those on Medicaid this is a very expensive way to care for the child. Hospitals are still getting paid for crisis care and a single event, another administrator said. Yet we are trying to provide the pa- tient with the right care, at the right time and the right place. The system doesnt always pay for this. Sometimes the hospital nds such value in a different way of providing care, they invest in a new program without reimburse- ment. An example is the Tran- sitional Nurse Program, which employs a full time nurse who travels to patients homes and helps people adjust to living with a chronic condition. Little things like grocery shop- ping can be a real challenge for a newly diagnosed diabetic. Get- ting expensive antibiotics right away to a man just discharged with pneumonia can mean the difference between getting well and another hospital stay. Ending up back in the hospi- tal is something hospital leaders very much want to avoid. And for good reason: patient readmis- sion within 30 days is often con- sidered a preventable failure. To encourage hospitals to prevent readmissions the ACA set new federal rules. In most circum- stances, hospitals will no longer be paid by Medicare for readmis- sion of a patient who was admit- ted less than 30 days prior. A Chippewa Valley nance di- rector told me, There is an im- portant connection between the hospital and the nursing home. If the nursing home doesnt do its job, the hospital is penalized. This is the case when a patient is readmitted from a nursing home. During our vigorous discus- sion of challenges facing nurs- ing homes, I shared some of the conversation I recently had with several area nursing home administrators. The administra- tors said homes experienced a 14% cut in Medicare rates. They talked about how the state pays hospitals and nursing homes well below their cost to care for patients. Facilities cost shift by covering Medicaid patient costs with money from other patients. Federal Medicare cuts now make this much more difcult. The hospital leaders called the underfunding the hidden health care tax because private insur- ance patients pay higher premi- ums to cover these losses. The advocates challenged lawmakers to better fund Medicaid. This is a big ask of lawmakers who know health care is the largest and fast- est growing part of the state bud- get. Health leaders were eager to engage lawmakers in new ideas and outside the box solutions. This engagement is vital, espe- cially because few lawmakers can keep up with the complex, fast changing world of health care. Thank you to all those hospi- tal volunteers, trustees, leaders, doctors, nurses and other profes- sionals for your work. Your con- tinued advocacy is critical as the state struggles to balance budget realities with preserving high quality health care and improv- ing access.

All learning experiences and events at camp are not only planned by counsel- ors, but also taught and evaluated by them. A major focus of 4-H camp is to build leadership skills in both counselors and campers. 4-H Camp Kinnissippewa ju- nior directors and camp counsel- ors from Buffalo, Trempealeau and Pepin Counties that partic- ipated in training and planning are: Anna Rippley, Tessa Brag- ger, Erin Putz, Leah Sonsalla, Bri Hass, and Jordin McMahon.

We recent- ly had an anonymous donation of books left in the hallway that were very musty and odorous. These musty books shared their smell with all the other books in the hallway and the only way to remove the smell was to remove all of the books, clean the shelves and hallway and start over. We also will not use any books left outside the building. Please bring any donations inside so that the staff can nd the useable books to add to the collection. We ap- preciate all the donations given to the library and want to make the best use of them. Think spring and think about enjoying the many things the li- brary has to offer to the commu- nity.

Soil & Water Stewardship Week April 27-May 4 The Pepin County Land Con- servation Department is recog- nizing Soil & Water Stewardship Week April 27 to May 4, 2014. Soil is an amazing substance. A complex mix of minerals, air, and water, soil also teems with countless micro-organisms, and the decaying remains of once-liv- ing things. Soil is made of life and soil makes life. To the farmer, soil is where crops grow. To the engineer, soil is a foun- dation upon which to build. To the ecologist, soil supports communities of living things. To the archaeologist, soil holds clues to past cultures. To the city dweller, soil nur- tures grass and gardens. To the soil scientist, soil is all of these things. Soil has been called the skin of the earth because it is the thin outermost layer of the Earths crust. Like our own skin, we cant live without soil. In celebration of Earth Day, April 22, 2014, Arbor Day, April 25, 2014 and Soil & Water Na- tional Stewardship Week April 27-May 4, 2014, students in the Pepin County School District participated in the ninth annu- al Conservation Groceries Bag Project.

As a kid growing up in Wis- consin, I, like so many of you, enjoyed and continue to enjoy all the wonderful outdoor recre- ational opportunities available to us, including hunting, shing and trapping. If you are one of the tens of thousands of Wisconsin citizens that enjoys our beautiful and bountiful natural resources, and would like to help protect and enhance our states gems, a Con- servation Patron license might be the perfect win-win purchase for you, a family member or a friend. Besides the countless hours that this license offers hunters, trappers and anglers to enjoy our natural resources, it also offers outdoor enthusiasts, including wildlife watchers, hikers and campers, many benets as well. Even if you dont hunt or sh, there are many advantages to purchasing the conservation pa- trons license. Purchase of the Conservation Patrons license includes a state park sticker. Our state parks are natures masterpieces. A state park sticker gives you a little ex- tra incentive to get out there and offers the convenience to just pull in instead of passing by. A subscription to the award winning Natural Resources Mag- azine also comes with the Con- servation Patrons license. This bi-monthly publication is lled with photos and stories on the states sh, fowl and furry crea- tures, along with its ora and fauna, and also lists fun outdoor events to help you nd a new The Conservation Patron License offers something for everyone way to enjoy them. If youre a bird watcher or out- door photographer, you know how important good habitat is to successful natural resources management, and all the beauti- ful natural sights to see. Do you hike, bike, ride an ATV, horse or snowmobile on state trails? Its a great way to experience our outdoors. A state trails pass is also included in the Conservation Patrons license The purchase of a Conserva- tion Patron license includes li- censes and stamps necessary to enjoy many of the shing and hunting seasons in the state at a discounted rate from purchasing them individually. Opportunities abound. But even if you dont have the time or interest in pursuing all the seasons and adventures associ- ated with the license purchase, know that funds generated by the Conservation Patrons license go directly back to species habitat protection and enhancement pro- grams. Your Conservation Patrons license also helps pay for your conservation wardens. These are the dedicated men and women that are out there every day pro- tecting your rights to enjoy our natural resources, and providing public safety when you are par- ticipating in outdoor activities and ensure that our sh and game laws are being adhered to. Were you once an angler or hunter and no longer partici- pate in these outdoor activities? Ever considered being a mentor for someone to introduce them to the thrills and excitement of pursuing sh and game? Having a Conservation Patrons license allows you to go aeld or on the water without the worry of being in compliance with license re- quirements for mentors. If you have natural resource conservation on your list of things you strongly support, pur- chasing the Conservation Patron license is a way to put your per- sonal resources directly into Wis- consins natural resources. Its the one license that covers just about anything an outdoor enthusiast would want. From hunting and shing to hiking and reading great articles out of the Natural Resources Magazine. Its one-stop shopping for Wis- consins outdoors -- and its all available for $165. With the purchase of a Conser- vation Patron License, you can have all these great opportunities that normally would cost about $325 and you will have them all. Not to mention the hours of plea- sure youll have re-connecting with the outdoors, and the price- less adventures and memories to follow.

Christina Lindstrom Photo Golf team facing low numbers, inexperience The Durand boys golf team is facing inexperience on the course this season, and starting the year with only half an ofcial varsity team. Head Coach Paul Churness returns this season for his 26th year of coaching golf. He said the team will miss last years lone senior, Jake Winter. He was our top player, and all-conference, Churness said. The Panther golfers wel- come back sophomore Caleb Grochowski and junior Ben Weber, and welcomed ve new freshman, three sophomores, and a junior to the team. Were starting the season with two varsity players, but we need four for a team, Churness said. Were going to start every- one as individuals, and well see which freshmen and sophomores develop to possibly bring them to varsity for a couple matches. Churness said he wants the new players to get JV experience for their rst year. If one or two really progress, they could possibly play in varsi- ty matches, he said. Churness said he has a very young team. We have a lot of kids with no experience, he said. There are going to be a lot of rsts, but I like the kids I have. Theyll im- prove and progress, and Im lik- ing what Ive seen so far. The Panthers were scheduled to have a match on April 14, but due to course conditions, the match was canceled. An April 15 match was also postponed. A match was scheduled for Monday at Clifton Highland, and another for Friday in Baldwin-Woodville at Pheasant Hills. If the other teams are young like we are, itll give me an op- portunity to bring kids up to play on varisty, Churness said. The lack of experience will be a challenge for the team, and Churness said it will be import- ant for the players to get familiar with the courses. Each course is a unique set- ting, and they are all different than here, he said. Its part of the developmental process. Golf isnt just about learning to hit the ball, but also learning about each challenge a course presents. Last season, Weber advanced to sectionals as a freshman. Grochowski earned a varsi- ty letter the last two years, and Churness said he will be better this year. We have good, solid varsity players this year, who will pos- sibly have the chance to compete for all-conference honors, he said. With the younger players, Churness said they will need to work to develop their swing, and learn the phases and parts of the game. Kids will have to become more knowledgeable on different kinds of shots, and learn to devel- op a consistent swing, he said. Churness named New Rich- mond, Osceola, Somerset, and Amery as the tough teams in the Middle Border Conference this season. They are pretty good teams, he said. This is a very strong golf conference with some really good players. Panther tennis looking to improve In his eighth year of coaching, Panther tennis Head Coach Jody Olson said the team has had a rough season the last couple of years. Inexperience is always a challenge, but this year were starting to get some experience on the team, he said. Were looking to have some improve- ment this year, and build on what we learned the last couple of years. The Panther tennis team has 13 players out this year, includ- ing lone senior John Miner. The team lost two seniors, Randy Hazen and Cole Christopherson, last season. Olson named Miner, Tylor Doverspike, and Zack Gilbertson as three key players for the Panthers. He named Regis and Baldwin as teams to beat in the conference. Regis is always tough, and Baldwin is usually a solid team, he said. Two freshmen joined the ten- nis team this year. A lot of times the freshmen have never played, Olson said. We hope by the time theyre ju- niors or seniors, they improve. A lot of schools have programs ear- ly on, so other teams have more experience. We just need to work to help the kids pick up on tennis as early as possible. Olson said the teams goal is always to improve over the last couple of years. Were just going to strive to get more victories, he said.

Submitted Photo EPC softball working to ll positions The Elmwood-Plum City soft- ball team is in its second years of the cooperative, and will be look- ings to its ve seniors to pave the way this season. EPC lost three seniors last year, Shelby Kannel, McKayla Brunner, and Krista Peterson, but have ve this year in Heidi Webb, Alysha Hoyt, Dannelle Martineau, Cora Hinrichs, and Alix Boltik. Four freshmen joined the pro- gram, which has a split of 15 girls from Elmwood, ve from Plum City. EPC has three sophomores and a freshman working on pitching this year after losing Brunner on the mound. Our pitching staff is young, but we are hopeful that they will work hard and have success this season, said EPC head coach Becky Baier. Junior Taylor Chilson, who had a .275 batting average last season, returns to the diamond this year. Sophomore Elizabeth Fredrickson boasted a .320. Webb ended the 2013 season with a .310, Hoyt .269, and Mar- tineau .200. This season, EPC has a goal to improve their playing every game, and to be competitive in the Dunn-St. Croix Conference. Our goal is to continue to im- prove in our fundamentals, and to build a great team bond that will help us be successful, Baier said. Baier said the team may face the challenge of nding the right player for the right position where they feel comfortable, and will be the greatest strength for the team. Baier named Pepin-Alma and Elk Mound as the teams to beat this year in the DSC. Travis Bauer scoops up a grounder in a game earlier this season. The Panthers had a cold-weather cancelation, 2-0 loss at Ellsworth, and 5-3 win in Durand last week. File Photo The Durand Panther base- ball team played two games last week. A game scheduled for Monday at Eau Claire Regis was canceled because of cold weath- er. Panther baseball faces cold-weather cancelation, loss, win, now 3-3 overall Tony Hansen Head Baseball Coach Tuesday we played at Hager City against Ellsworth, and lost 2-0. The Panthers rebounded Thursday with a win against Baldwin by a score of 5-3, in a game rescheduled to Durand be- cause of poor eld conditions in Baldwin. Record on the year overall is 3-3 and 1-2 in conference play. In Tuesdays game, which resulted in Ellsworth 2 over Durand 0, Ellsworth scored a run in the bottom of the rst to lead 1-0. They tacked on an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth to take a 2-0 lead. The Ellsworth pitchers kept Durand at bay as they allowed only two hits in the game and al- lowed only one Durand runner to reach second base. Jake Dunbar pitched extreme- ly well in the loss. He pitched 6 innings and allowed 2 runs (1 earned) on 6 hits. He walked zero and struck out ve. A good per- formance against the states sec- ond ranked team in Division 2. Leading hitters for Durand were Jacob Bauer 1-3 and Jacob Biesterveld 1-3. Thursdays game in Durand resulted in a Durand 5 to Baldwin-Woodville 3 victory. Durand survived a bases-load- ed one-out rst inning scare as Hunter Black struck out the next two batters to keep Baldwin off the board in the top of the rst. Durand answered with 4 runs in the bottom of the fourth. Key hits in the inning were from Reid Hansen with a one-out RBI single and a bases-clearing two-out 3 RBI double by Tyler McRoberts, giving Durand a 4-0 lead after the rst inning. After Baldwin scored an un- earned run in the top of the third, Durand added its own unearned run when Jacob Biesterveld scored on a throwing error, giv- ing Durand a 5-1 lead. Baldwin added an unearned run in the 4th and 5th, creeping to 5-3 after 5 innings. Durands defense stiffened in the 6th and 7th behind solid pitching from Hunter Black, which sealed the rst conference win for the Pan- thers. Hunter Black pitched a com- plete game for Durand. He gave up 3 runs (0 earned) on six hits. He walked 0 and struck out 6. Leading hitters for Durand were Tyler McRoberts 2-3 with 2 doubles and 3 RBI, Hunter Black 2-2, and Reid Hansen 1-3 with an RBI. The Panthers faced Prescott on Tuesday, but results were unavailable at press time. They are scheduled to visit New Rich- mond on Friday. See next weeks Courier-Wedge for results.

BW has not lost a Middle Border conference game in the four years that All-American Abby Klopp has been pitching for them. She can throw a vari- ety of pitches but depends on a big league fastball and great location. Every hitter likes fast- balls just like everybody likes ice cream. But you dont like it when someones stufng it into you by the gallon. Thats how you feel when Abby Klopp is throwing balls by you. Although a very nice and po- lite young lady off the diamond, on the eld she treats opposing batters like mortal enemies. She is not afraid to come inside and brush a batter backif a pitcher nds out her opponent is tim- id it is her job to remind them to stay that wayand most high school players have good reason to be a little nervous when she uncorks one. Tuesday the Panthers hit sev- eral hard shots against her, but only managed three hits (two by Morganne and one by Megan), but even so the game was still in doubt until the sixth inning. Behind three zip, the Panthers committed ve errors in the last two innings and allowed four unearned runs. For most of the game Tuesday we showed we can play with anyone if our heads are in the contest and we dont have foolish mental and physi- cal errors, but in order to make the next step we need to be more consistentto think before every play, and to execute routine plays every single time. You dont practice till you get it right, you practice till you cant get it wrong! It has to be instinctive. If people are not making mistakes, they are not trying new things, but if they are making the same mistake twice, then they are not learning new things. Were not quite there yet. Morganne pitched pretty well all eight hits she gave up came in three innings, as did six of the seven runs. She needs to learn how to put her teammates (and her own) mistakes behind her and concentrate (even though it can be difcult to forget) on the next batter, not the one who just blooped a lazy single that should have/could have been caught, or the ground-ball that could have/ should have been a double-play but got booted or bobbled. Ultimately, a pitcher is respon- sible for everything that happens around them. Sometimes your teammates save you with a great catch or a timely hit, but sadly sometimes they give-up a two- run error. Sometimes the pitcher strikes out a girl with two outs and the tying run on third, some- times she walks in the winning run. Nobody can achieve suc- cess alone. It sounds clich but, Teamwork makes the dream work! Teamworkeasier said than done. The Panthers broke out of their one-game hitting slump (imposed by Baldwin-Woodville and Abby Klopp) in dramatic fashion Thursday, April 17. They pummeled the Amery Warriors 11-1 in six innings as they improved their overall re- cord to 4-1 and 3-1 in the Middle Border. Seven starters combined for 15 hits, including four each by Morganne Gruber and Whitney Tomlinson. Whit had an espe- cially prolic day at the plate, ripping two triples and collecting four RBIs to lead the team to a mercy-rule victory that was nev- er really in doubt. She came to the plate four times and the only time she didnt drive in a run was when she led off the fth with a triple. Megan added to the onslaught with a triple and two RBIs, and Lexi drove in three runs on two solid singles of her own. Amerys only run was un- earned and came in the fth on a single and our only two errors of the game. When a team is see- ing and hitting the ball well it is a thing of beauty to watchthis was by far the Panthers best over- all offensive performance. Morganne pitched very well and only allowed two singles and a couple of walks while striking out six. Lexi Stewart continues to im- prove defensively and threw out another potential base-stealer. Defensively, the team was pretty sharp and only faced two batters (20) over the minimum for a six inning game. The highlight of the day on defense was an unassisted dou- ble-play by Megan Brusoe in the third snagging a wicked line- drive down the RF line and step- ping on rst before the runner could make it back. The varsity team gets ex- tremely busy the next two weeks, playing six games a week for the next two weeks. Its fun playing a busy schedule but you hope that no one gets injured or goes into a slump or half their season could be shot!! The JV girls also had a good week, beating Eau Claire Me- morial on Tuesday in a big 9-8 comeback win and destroying Amery 27-2 on Thursday. Although she hasnt actual- ly shredded a ball yet, junior DHS slugger Morganne Gruber is coming closeshe is hitting a team high .583 on the season [and if you throw out a zero for four games against Colfax shed be at a phenomenal .700, averag- ing seven hits out of every ten at bats] Not far behind are Me- gan Brusoe at .545, Whitney Tomlinson at .350, Maisy Dodge at .318, and Lexi Stewart at .313. The team is hitting at a very re- spectable .330!! Monday, April 21, they needed every bit of that power to up-end the Pepin-Alma Eagles, coming from behind in a see-saw battle to pull it out 10-9! Both teams hit the ball very well with Durand ripping 15 hits and Pepin collecting 14. Durand took an early lead in the rst when Morganne singled, was bunted to 2nd by Maisy and came in on the rst of Megans four hits on the day. Megan lat- er scored on a bobbled steal to make it 2-0. But, Pepin came back with a vengeance in the bottom half of the inning. Andi Terpstra slapped a single to start the game (she was a phenomenal 3 for 3 with two walksa great lead-off hit- terbest weve seen all season). Two errors and a walk tied it up and RBI singles by Rotering and Peters gave the Eagles a 4-2 lead after one. DHS tied it up in the second. Following a single by Sierra Bates (3 for 4 on the day), Mor- ganne ripped an RBI double and then scored on a steal of third and a passed ball. In the third the Panthers retook the lead. Megan singled and stole second, moved up on a ground- out and scored on an error: 5-4 Durand. (Although it was an exciting game with lots of great hits, the elding by both teams was inconsistent at best. DHS had seven errors while the Eagles had ve, and several wild pitches and passed balls. It wasnt pret- ty.) P-A tied it back up on back- to-back singles by Rotering and Laehn and a deep sac y to right by Secrist. In the top of the fourth Bailey, Morganne and Maisy had singles to load the bases with nobody out. Bailey scored on a sac y by Megan and Morganne made it 7-5 on an RBI ground-out by Lexi Stewart. Lexi continues to improve behind the plate, showing a lot more range and is framing her pitches well. A good catcher can make an average pitcher good, and a good pitcher great. Her de- fensive skills make her one of the better catchers in the area. Pepin got one back in the bot- tom half when Hogue singled and came in on a long RBI dou- ble by Rotering, who was a fan- tastic 4 for 5 with 3 RBIs at the plate. DHS added another run in the sixth when Maisy reached on an error (offensive speed often induces and produces mistakes by the defense) and moved up to 2nd on a single by Megan. A well executed double steal put runners at 2nd and 3rd with only one out. Whitney knocked in Maisy with a solid single, but back-to-back elders choice ground-outs allowed Pepin-Al- ma to escape, down only 8-6. In their half of the sixth the Eagles batted aroundfour hits, a walk and two errors cut into the lead and then reversed it with three runs of their own. Pepin left 13 runners on base while DHS left 11 stranded. Both teams squandered opportunities to blow the game open! P-A led going into the last in- ning 9-8, and with the eight and nine hitters up for the Panthers it looked bleak. But the Panthers had one last rally in themSierra singled and stole second, and tied up the game on Morgannes second double of the afternoon. Mor- ganne stole third and with one out Maisy laid down a perfect bunt. Rather than attempt a tough play at rst the Eagles conceded the ineld single and left runners on the corners. Normally, under these circumstances, the batter would take the rst pitch and al- low the runner to steal second. But as Megan Brusoe said af- terwards, It was just too fat to let go. I had to swing! Fortu- nately, it paid off as she looped the go-ahead single to left, scor- ing Morganne. The Eagles escaped further damage, inducing an FC ground- out and a lazy pop-up. They were in a 10-9 hole but had their 4-5-6 hitters coming up! Coach Retzloff made a pitch- ing change and brought in Mor- ganne to face the Eagles last chance. Cory Terpstra led off with a single but Gruber struck out the ve and six hitters and set the stage for one last great play. Laehn hit a drive into the right-center gap that looked like extra bases and the game-tying RBI, but Maisy Dodge got a great jump and the wind held it up just enough, and the Eagles last hopes died in her glove. One of the Pepin parents said afterwards I wish we wouldnt have hit it to centereld, im- plying their chances would have been better if it would have been hit to left or righteld. I said It doesnt matter where you hit it, shell get there anyway. Maisy Dodges glove is where triples go to die! Game over! 10-9 Panthers. 5-1 on the season. Durands Bailey Wekkin slides under the tag at home in the Panthers game in Alma April 21. The Panthers took their rst loss against Baldwin-Woodville last week, and claimed victories over Amery and Pepin-Alma. Heidi Stewart Photos Megan Brusoe slides into second in Alma on Monday. E-PC softball splits week, 2-1 overall The Elmwood-Plum City soft- ball team played two conference games last week and split the week with a 6-5 win over Spring Valley April 15, and a 11-4 loss to Elk Mound April 21. The Wolves visited Spring Valley April 15 and played a back-and-forth game, eventual- ly claiming the 6-5 win over the Cardinals. Neither team scored until the third inning, when Spring Valley added a lone run in the top. SV added yet another run in the top of the fourth, but the Wolves an- swered with two of their own to tie it up after four. EPC held the Cardinals score- less in the fth, and added four to take a 6-2 lead. Spring Valley rallied in the sixth, adding 3, to tighten the game to 6-5. The Wolves cut Spring Valley off, and no more runs were scored to seal the vic- tory for EPC. Shelby Hall pitched 3 innings for the Wolves, allowing 4 hits and 4 runs, 2 earned. She struck out 2, and walked 0. Elizabeth Fredrickson pitched 4 innings, allowing 4 hits and 2 runs, 1 earned. She walked 4 and struck out 2. Taylor Chilson went 2-for-3 at the plate with 2 RBIs, scoring 1 run. Kaitlyn Sabelko went 1-for- 3, scoring 1 run, while Hall went 1-for-1, scoring 2 runs, and tally- ing an RBI. The Wolves hosted Elk Mound on April 21, and fell 11-4 to the Mounders. EPC held Elk Mound in the rst two innings, scoring one in the rst to take a 1-0 lead, which they held through two innings. Elk Mound put up a run in the third, and the teams remained tied at 1 through the fourth. Elk Mound scored 2 in the fth, and were answered by 1 from EPC to put the game at 3-2, Elk Mound. Elk Mound added 3 in the sixth and 5 in the seventh to take a commanding lead, answered by 2 from EPC in the bottom of the seventh. EPC didnt quite have enough steam, and took the 11-4 loss. No stats were available from EPC. The Wolves hosted Pepin-Al- ma on Tuesday, but results were unavailable at press time. They are set to visit Glenwood City on Thursday, and will host St. Croix Central on Friday, and Boyceville on Monday. See next weeks Courier-Wedge for re- sults of this weeks games.

Plant- ing a tree is what Arbor Day is all about. Whether it is in the back yard or the back forty, it makes no difference. Since the inception of Arbor Day over 135 years ago, billions of trees have been planted across the nation. Before planting a tree, the landowner should address the following: Are there overhead power lines to contend with? Is there limited root space? Will the tree outgrow the space avail- able? Does the soil have the fer- tility to grow the planted tree? Will the tree roots heave side- walks and driveways? This type of tree maintenance should be- gin long before the shovel turns the soil. Through careful planning, trees provide oxygen for us to breathe.reduce noise and air pollution in the community prevents soil erosion and adds beauty and value to your proper- ty. There is an adage that goes, The best time to plant a tree was a hundred years ago; the second best time to plant a tree is today. Since 1911, the state nurser- ies have provided over a billion seedlings for plantings through- out the state. Help us commem- orate this centennial milestone by continuing an important tra- Celebrate Arbor Day Trees For Tomorrow is accept- ing applications from high school students interested in attending a weeklong Natural Resources Ca- reers Workshop this summer.

It truly is designed to help students discover whether a nat- ural resources career is right for them, and if so, what area or fo- cus they might want to pursue, said Joe Panci, a teacher/natural- ist at Trees For Tomorrow, and coordinator of the workshop. As part of the careers work- shop, students will experience real-life eldwork and develop a variety of outdoor skills, Panci said. Theyll meet others with a similar passion for the outdoors, and theyll learn how to select and apply to colleges that match their outdoor career focus. Theyll also learn what vari- ous jobs require for education or training, what they pay, and what todays job market is like, Panci said. Trees For Tomorrow a pri- vate, nonprot natural resources specialty school has sponsored the Natural Resources Careers Workshop for more than 25 years. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and graduating seniors are eligible to attend.

Chaplain Kim shared some words of inspiration with us while Stacey led us in song. It was a great way to start the day and the week. After lunch, it was time for some exercise. We got out our giant beach ball and had a rousing game of kickball. After all that exercise, we relaxed with some refreshments and a game of spelling bits. We used examples of homonyms. Players had to pick the right word for the right meaning and then had to spell it. It really gave us a mental workout! Chapel services started out the day on Tuesday. Pastor Pfaffe led the services. Thanks to Sandy Anderson for providing the piano music. In the afternoon, our kitchen korner group made some cracker pops. We took some townhouse crackers and peanut butter to make mini sandwiches. Then we dipped them in white chocolate, added a lollipop stick and some sprinkles to make them extra special. They looked like little decorated Easter eggs. We ended the day on a musical note with a sing-a-long. Beauty Shop services started out the day on Wednesday. This is one of our ladies favorite activities. What lady doesnt like to get her hair done! Debbie was on hand to take care of all our ladies. Stacey also led the Storytellers Group that morning. They talked about wedding traditions especially the Shivarees that used to take place. Many of our ladies relived their personal experience with this wedding night tradition! Some of them were quite interesting! After lunch, our crafting group had fun making some washer necklaces. They were all decorated with springy owers just perfect to wear for Easter. Thursday morning started out with puppy visits. Brad brought plenty of puppies for everyone. After the puppy visits, Tina gathered interested residents together for the reading of the Courier Wedge. Bingo was the main event for the afternoon. We played two rounds of regular bingo, followed by a round of blackout. Big winners for the week were Don Golden, Jerry Scott and Frances Kirst. Volunteers for the afternoon were Joyce Borman, Darlene LaBrec, Kathryn Harry, Sadie Sinz and Walt and Delores Hermundson. We ended the day with some Name 10. Friday was Good Friday. Delores Pittman led our Stations of the Cross service. Volunteers for the service were Ray Blanchard, Wilma Weisenbeck and Stella Bauer. In the afternoon, we made some beautiful tissue covered eggs. They ended up looking like Faberge eggs! We ended the day by watching the video The Easter Story. On Saturday afternoon, Stacey played some of our favorite tunes on the piano. She was joined by Olive Ganoe, who graced us with a few selections of her own. Coffee was served afterwards On Easter morning, Dick and Judy Schlosser led an Easter prayer service. After breakfast, many of our residents went out with their families for Easter. We also had quite a few visitors that day as well. Well, I guess that thats about it for this week! While the Arkansaw Elemen- tary 4th grade students have been busy studying about the Eastern Bluebird, the Durand Sports- mans Club has been busy mak- ing bluebird nestboxes for the students. On Tuesday, April 22 the Durand Sportsmans Club presented each 4th grade student and teacher with a bluebird box using a bluebird nestbox. The bluebird nestboxes were de- signed by local bluebird enthu- siast Terry Glanzman whom the Sportsman Club Donate Bluebird Nestboxes Many great houses were constructed by the Durand Sportsmans club. Pictured is Mrs. Heitmans class. Mrs. Petersons class also received bluebird nest boxes. Ms. Rollmans class has also been learning about the Eastern Bluebirds.

Each year in the United States over 750,000 children and youths suffer from abuse or neglect. Sadly, the odds are that one or more of the children that you encounter today is, or has been, victimized by a person responsi- ble for their care. Child abuse is something that knows no bound- aries. It happens in big cities, suburban communities and small towns. It happens across all so- cio-economic classes. And it is happening right now. In fact a re- port of abuse or neglect is made every ten seconds. April is Child Abuse and Ne- glect Prevention Month in Wis- consin, as proclaimed by Gover- nor Scott Walker. It serves as a We all play a role in the prevention of child abuse and neglect Eloise Anderson, Secretary, Department of Children and Families reminder that despite the trou- bling statistics, people from all over the state dedicate their lives to protecting Wisconsins most precious resource. At the Department of Chil- dren and Families (DCF), we are continually striving to improve our efforts to keep children safe from harm. In the not too distant past, the norm for child welfare agencies was to react to abuse and neglect as if it took place in a vacuum. Now, thanks to exten- sive research and analysis, we know this not to be the case. The majority of people who inict pain upon their children love them and do not set out to cause suffering. Most instances of child abuse or neglect occurs be- cause parents do not know how to cope with stressors or have been victims themselves. In order to prevent child abuse and neglect, and not simply re- act to it, we have revamped our approaches to address the entire family. Our primary obligation is still to ensure the safety of chil- dren. If a child is deemed to be unsafe, we will work with the courts to place the child in a safe setting, while we work with the family to learn how to deal with the stressors that led to the unsafe conditions for the child. We help to establish a network of support within the familys community, so that they have resources to as- sist them in times of high stress. And in some cases, we help teach caregivers the basic skills of par- enting that they might not have learned due to the lack of paren- tal role models during their own childhood. After extensive work, if parents are able to demonstrate that they can provide for the care and well-being of their child, we work to return the child to their home. If despite all of the inter- ventions and training made avail- able, parents do not show that they can provide for the safety of their children, then we will work tirelessly to nd them a loving forever family through adoption or guardianship. In situations where it is deemed possible to keep fami- lies intact and children safe, the child welfare agency will work with the caregivers to learn to deal with the stressors that can lead to abuse or neglect while the child remains with their family. This approach of using intensive in- home services to work with a family is taken with the best long term interest of the child in mind. Research into the effects of childhood trauma has shown that removing a child from their home can have long lasting nega- tive after-effects. Keeping a child with their family as we work with the parents is one way that we can take a trauma informed care approach to reducing the impact of what the child has endured and improve their long-term out- comes. Through this method, we hope to be able lesson the gener- ational cycle of harm caused by child abuse and neglect. Many steps have been tak- en to change the way that DCF approaches dealing with child abuse or neglect cases, however as the old saying goes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We know that the best way to keep a child safe is to prevent abuse or neglect from happening in the rst place. To this end, the Department has implemented some truly ground-breaking ini- tiatives like the Home Visiting Program that identies families in high-risk areas and works with them even before a child is born to reduce the factors that can lead to a child being a victim of abuse or neglect. However, even with all of the improvements to the child wel- fare system, we know that we cannot prevent child abuse and neglect without your help. If we are going to truly make a differ- ence in childrens lives it will take all of us working together 24/7 to keep our children safe. You have the greatest ability to help keep a child safe. Learn about the warning signs of abuse and neglect. Get involved if you suspect a child is being vic- timized. You cant assume that someone else closer to the child or to the family has already no- ticed the possible abuse or ne- glect and taken action. Pick up the phone and report your suspi- cions to your local child welfare agency. You might be the differ- ence in whether or not a child gets the help that they need. We also encourage you to con- nect with families and children in your community who may be experiencing unexpected or pro- longed stress, due to the curve balls that life can throw at peo- ple, such as the loss of a job or a change in the family structure. By helping to support these fam- ilies through something as sim- ple as offering to watch a child for a few hours, being willing to listen and offer advice, providing new parents with some helpful tips or becoming a mentor to an older child who is looking for a positive role model, you can help them remain stable and prevent an occurrence of abuse or ne- glect. We can win the battle against child abuse and neglect, if we all work together. 24617 JACKIE PETERSON RESIDENCE N6160 S KIRK ROAD Step 2 toddler table, Step 2 picnic table, Jumpstart trampoline, water table, boys puppy crib bedding sets (2), crib mattresses, changing mat, basketball hoop, booster seats, wagons, girls bike, Radio Flyer tricycle, CARS race tracks, F/P race towers, crockpot, coffee maker, toaster, suitcases, golf clubs/bag, gas grill, home & holiday Dcor, doll crib, kitchen Items, Wearever Pan Set, jewelry, girls clothes 4T - 8, boys 12mths-4t, ladies size md, portable DVD player, VHS/ DVDs, books, puzzles.

The Pepin County Health Department recommends that if you have a private well that has been submerged by ood waters, do not drink the water. Wait un- til the waters recede, disinfect your well, and then sample the well for bacteria. Sample kits for testing well water may be obtained from the Pepin Coun- ty Zoning by calling 715-672- 8897. If samples come back as having unsafe levels of bacteria present, it is recommended that the well be disinfected again and then re-sampled. Information on how to perform well sanitizing and sampling can be obtained from the Department of Natural Resources web site at http://dnr. wi.gov/org/water/dwg/ood.htm Here are some other important tips for homeowners and busi- ness owners when cleaning and repairing water and ood-dam- aged property: Carpeting, drywall and oth- er building materials affected by ood waters will in most instances need to be removed and discarded. ANY POROUS MATERIALS THAT CAN- NOT BE DRIED IN 48 HOURS SHOULD BE DISCARDED. A 20-page booklet and a post- er (in Spanish and English) are available online www.epa.gov/ iaq/ood/index.html) from the EPA that gives simple instruc- tions for safely cleaning your home after a ood. Do not rush to replace drywall and carpeting. The home must be thoroughly dried before in- stalling new materials. Using dehumidiers and fans can hasten this process. Open windows to further assist with ventilation and drying. Walls typically need several days to dry and oors may take several weeks. You may need to remove wet sub ooring. If using a portable generator, keep it outside and far away from the building. Breathing in the exhaust or fumes from a portable generator can be deadly. Do not walk or play in ood water-- this water should be con- sidered contaminated. Remember to protect your- self while cleaning: wear work boots, eye and hand protection and, if working with mold, respi- ratory protection. Make sure you have had a tet- anus vaccine within the last 7-10 years. If not, see your health care provider, or, if uninsured for im- munizations, come to PCHD im- munization clinic, 4th Thursday of the month from 2-5pm. Make sure you have function- ing gutters to keep roof run-off away from the house. For more information about ood-related issues, see http:// www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/eh/Di- sasterHealthSafety/ooding.htm Planting a garden can add aesthetic appeal and functionality to a property. Vegetable gardens can transform landscapes while putting healthy and homegrown food on the table. By growing their own fruits and vegetables, homeowners have total control over what foods can be harvested, and they can ensure sustainable, safe practices are used to care for the plants. Vegetable gardens can be compact or expansive, depending on how much space is available to cultivate. However, rst-time gardeners may want to begin small so they can hone their skills and experiment to see which plants are most likely to thrive in their gardens. Expansion is always a possibility down the road. Choose a location Spend some time examining your landscape. Vegetables generally need ample warmth and sunlight to thrive, so nd an area of the yard that gets several hours of direct sunlight per day. A sunny spot is good, but you also want a location with adequate drainage so your garden does not succumb to ooding or fungus during and after heavy downpours. Dont place the garden too close to rain gutters or near a pool, where splash-out may occur. Select a location that is isolated from pets so the plants are not trampled and cats and dogs do not relieve themselves nearby. Decide what to plant When deciding what to plant, consider what you eat and how much produce the household consumes, then choose vegetables that t with your diet. Some vegetables, like peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, and squash, produce throughout the season. Others, such as carrots and corn, produce one crop and then expire. Plan accordingly when you purchase plants or seeds, as you want enough food but not so much that it will go to waste. Choose three to four different vegetables and plant them in the garden. Select varieties that require similar soil conditions, so that you can adjust the pH and mix of the soil accordingly. This will serve as good practice, particularly the rst year of your garden. After you have mastered the basics, you can branch out into other produce. Know when to plant Many of the foods grown in vegetable gardens, including tomatoes and peppers, are summer vegetables, which means they reach peak ripeness after the height of the summer season. Pumpkins, brussel sprouts and peas are planted to be harvested later on. These plants may be put in the ground a little later than others. It is less expensive to start seedlings indoors and then transplant them to a garden when the time comes. Seeds can be started three to four weeks before they would be put outdoors. Many vegetables are planted outside in April or May, but denitely after frost conditions have waned. Read seed packets to know exactly when to plant or consult with the nursery where you purchased established seedlings. You also can visit The Garden Helper at www.thegardenhelper. com/vegtips to nd out when to plant, seed depth and how long it takes plants to reach maturity. Vegetable gardens can become central components of outdoor home landscapes. Not only do gardens add aesthetic appeal, but also they produce fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy throughout the season. Improve your home and diet with a vegetable garden As winter slowly winds down, many gardeners cannot wait to soak up the springtime sun and get their hands dirty in the garden. Such excitement is not just good for gardeners, but can benet the garden in the months to come as well. Late winter or early spring is a great time to get a head start on the gardening season. Even if gardening season is still around the corner, completing the following projects can ensure your garden gets off on the right foot. Clear debris One of the best things you can do for your garden as winter winds down is to clear it of debris. Winter can be especially harsh on a landscape, and gardens left to the elements are often lled with debris once spring arrives. Dead leaves, fallen branches, rocks that surfaced during the winter frost, and even garbage that might have blown about in winter winds can all pile up in a garden over a typical winter. Clearing such debris likely wont take long, but its a great rst step toward restoring the garden before the time comes to plant and grow the garden once again. Examine the soil Soil plays a signicant role in whether a garden thrives or struggles. Examining the soil before the season starts can help gardeners address any issues before they plant. Ignoring the How to guarantee your garden starts off on the right foot soil until a problem arises can turn the upcoming gardening season into a lost opportunity, so test the soil to determine if it has any nutrient or mineral deciencies. This may require the help of a professional, but if a problem arises, you might be able to adjust the acidity or alkalinity of the soil and still enjoy a successful gardening season. Another way to examine the soil is less complex but can shed light on when would be a good time to get back to work. Reach into the soil and dig out a handful. If the soil quickly crumbles, you can start preparing for gardening seasoning. But if the soil is still clumped together, it needs more time to dry out before you can begin your prep work. Initiate edging Edging is another task gardeners can begin as they get ready for the season. Edge plant and ower beds, but be sure to use a spade with a at blade or an edger designed to edge ower beds. Such tools will cut deep enough so grass roots that may eventually grow into the ower bed are severed. Depending on how large a garden is, edging can be a time-consuming task, so getting a head start allows homeowners to spend more time planting and tending to their gardens once the season hits full swing. Fight weeds Though weeds likely have not survived the winter, that does not mean they wont return once the weather starts to heat up. But as inevitable as weeds may seem, homeowners can take steps to prevent them from turning beautiful gardens into battlegrounds where plants, owers and vegetables are pitted against unsightly and potentially harmful weeds. Spring is a good time to apply a pre-emergent weed preventer, which can stop weeds before they grow. Though such solutions are not always foolproof, they can drastically reduce the likelihood of weed growth. Though gardeners might not be able to start planting their gardens in late winter or early spring, they can still get outside and take steps to ensure their gardens thrive once planting season begins.

The efforts of the junior high stu- dent committee in conjunction with the student council opted to make this signage a project. Originally, the entrance sport- ed a grade school identier. Mr. James Burger, junior high princi- pal said the students worked hard to complete the project. They also hope to provide a plaque which will identify their efforts on this project for posterity. Starting immediately, no burn- ing is allowed in any area cov- ered by the Rural Durand Fire Department without a burning permit. Bridget Begin could become a footnote in Durand history. The DHS senior may be the last to reign as Miss Durand. Thats because Durands Funfest will forgo the customary queens pag- eant during this years celebra- tion slated for June 9, 10 and 11, 1989. The pageant has crowned a Miss Durand annually for the last 25 years. The main reason for the queens pageant to be dropped was because of a shortage of can- didates. The Commercial Club has had trouble recruiting young women to enter the pageant. The costs for scholarships and other things associated with the pag- eant and post Funfest queens ac- tivities also were a concern. Total expenses related to the pageant totaled $9,500 last year. The Rich and Norma Chilson family of Plum City have been busy getting their lives back in or- der since a re gutted their home on March 28. The Chilsons have received an outpouring of sup- port from the Plum City com- munity in replacing a lot of what was lost in the blaze. The task of rebuilding has already begun. Greta Krohn, daughter of Gib and Judy Krohn of Stockholm has been selected as the Badger Girls State Rep for Pepin High School. Krohn, a junior, was selected by the teaching staff at PHS. Waterfowl habitat in the state wetlands area near here has been protected by a $100,000 rip-rap- ping project funded by Ducks Unlimited. Some 2,000 feet of Lake Pepin shoreline south of Pepin, Wis. was rip-rapped in February to prevent further lake bank erosion and preserve adja- cent wetlands. The Knights of Columbus are again conducting their statewide fund drive to help the mentally handicapped. In the past fteen years, a total of $4,081,000 was raised and distributed to local councils for programs in their area for statewide projects for the mentally handicapped, for sem- inars, camps and Special Olym- pics, to aid the students. John Andrews, Mike Holmstadt, Tara Edblom and Andy Winkler brought home awards from the Ag Tech Con- test in River Falls on April 8, 1989. Andrews took top individ- ual honors in soils and he and Holmstadt took rst place team honors as well. Edblom and Win- kler added rst place team hon- ors in the Dairy Foods Division. Members of the Plum City Prom Court are: Angie Mey- er, Jerod Chilson, Tricia John- son, Jeremy Eggenberger, Tara Edblom, Tony Klingler, Jody Eggenberger, Mark Maxwell, Ni- cole Lecheler and Mark Wieser. Chad Catt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Catt of Plum City was re- cently named winner of the 1989 DEKALB Agricultural Accom- plishment Award.

Births: A son, Kyle John was born to Kevin and Maggie Pier- skalla on April 4, 1989. A son, Daniel James, was born to Michael and Monica Starkey on April 15, 1989.

April 24, 2014 THE COURIER-WEDGE PAGE 15 The Assumption Catholic Fourth graders had an opportunity to show off their skills and knowledge by creating the earth and labeling its parts. While in groups, they labeled the continents, oceans, equator, prime meridian, hemispheres and lines of lat- itude and longitude. Pictured is: Andrew Fedie, Simon Bauer, Josie Weinzirl, and Izzy Manor. Everyone posed for the camera after dying eggs. (L to R - Tillie Fleming, Alisha Brantner, Regina Jahnke, Mrs. Ormson, Parker Bechel, Daniel Hassing, Vivian Kothbauer, Cameron Krogstad, Lela Eggenberger, and Levi Brantner. Cameron, Parker and Alisha show off their handiwork! Vivian worked at decorating her egg before putting it in the dye. Assumption fourth graders learn map skills Irene on the piano and Laura on the guitar and all residents singing their favorite songs! Theres no better way to start the week than with music. Stretching was next on the list and kickball keeps our reexes in check. Pastor Shannon, Dorothy Clare, and Lucy Johnson arrived from Ono Methodist Church early in the afternoon for a nice time of Bible Study, visiting, and catching up on the week prior. Popcorn was a yummy treat in the afternoon and soon were stufng plastic Easter eggs with candy that will be hunted later in the week. After supper, Pat Seipel and Bob Anibas (and his sidekick Don) played a fun game of Fruit Bingo with us with candy and fruit as rewards. Darrick Hinrichs and Mackenzie Wieser came over from the Ave Maira Academy to assist with setting pins and keeping score. This weeks top scores were very close with the lowest scores only 5 points from a perfect 40. Lela Eggenberger and Lorraine Brunner-Patnode (5th), Marian Kopp and Marvin Gilles (4th), Harry Bergmark and Wally Lambrecht (3rd), Vivian Kothbauer (2nd), and Janice Anderson and Regina Jahnke captured 1st place with perfect scores! Just before lunch, the energetic 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders from Ave Maria arrived and we all colored Easter eggs together. Marvin thought he should eat a couple to make sure they were ok. Quality assurance he called it! After the kids headed back to school, the Baking Bunch baked and frosted cut-out Easter cookies. Finishing up the cookies, we headed to the piano for a game of Name That Tune. Pat Seipel was on the scene after supper and led a game of Pokeno. Wednesday morning the reminisce group got together and played the game, Choices. Some are very silly! If you HAD to choose, would YOU rather have three eyes or three feet? Soon Father Czerwonka arrived for Mass. We celebrated Easter mass and communion. We worked up appetites with kickball just before lunch. Bingo was on the agenda in the afternoon. Wanda Ebensperger, Eunice Luebker, and Marj Anderson delivered candy to all the winners while Cal Raynes called the numbers. After bingo we had a visit from Jackie Schauls and Bertie Stuart who shared their skill of crocheting rag rugs. It was very fun and informative and we also enjoyed seeing all the beautiful rugs they have both made. Thank you ladies! Thursday morning we welcomed Marlene Zimmer for our Local News and Coffee Social. We enjoyed snacking on our Easter cookies while Marlene read all the news from Maiden Rock, Ellsworth, and the Durand areas. Just before lunch, the Ave Maria students arrived for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Every year it seems we cant nd all the eggs that were hidden. If you stop by, take a look around the backyard. Maybe you can spot them! Danessa was soon on hand for our time of Nifty Nails with manicures, music and mingling while Shirley did up dos in the beauty shop. Debbie Hofmeister led our Catholic folks in rosary and then Pastor Shannon arrived to lead us in worship for the week. After supper we ended our evening with a game of Dice Dingo. Good Friday started with the drumming group in full swing, followed by kickball just before lunch. Later in the afternoon, some of the ladies dished up animal crackers as it was National Animal Cracker Day of all things! We enjoyed our beverages and crackers (which we hadnt had for many years!) while Mr. Martin played the violin for us and Laura accompanied him at the piano. Saturdays movie was a baseball ick, Angels in the Outeld. Bingo followed lunch with many winners and lots of candy rewards. We made and devoured hot, buttery popcorn with some of our family and friends visiting. Later in the afternoon we enjoyed working off popcorn calories with kickball and soon things were winding down with the music of Lawrence Welk on television. Sunday began with televised worship services and communion in honor of this special and holy day, Easter. Many folks went to their families homes and some of us enjoyed company here in our home. It was a beautiful day and just sitting outside was a delight. Some folks stayed in and played Ladderball. Winners were: 4th place: Marion, Lela and Regina. 3rd place: Marvin. 2nd place: Joyce. 1st place: Karl. The afternoon brought beautiful sunshine and signs of spring with the end of the snow. Plan to stop in for an informational meeting about the soon to open Seasons Assisted Living building next Wednesday, April 30th at 3:00 pm. We will be available to answer any and all your questions at that time! See you soon. MADISON The Department of Natural Resources has joined a statewide public-private initia- tive to reduce plastic waste and increase plastic lm recycling in the Badger State. The Wisconsin Wrap Recy- cling Action Program (WRAP) enlists retailers, manufacturers and local governments in col- lecting recyclable plastic lm from their own operations and the public. Grocery and other retail stores, distribution centers, vol- unteer groups and local govern- ments can support Wisconsin WRAP by collecting their own plastic case wrapping, bags and packaging material by setting up a local collection program and by registering their locations as community drop-off centers. Private citizens can participate by recycling their clean and dry packaging wrap. The DNRs website provides free information on how to re- cycle plastic bags and lm and how to nd local drop-off loca- tions. The site also provides free education materials, signs and posters for local governments, businesses, volunteers or civic groups expanding their plastic lm recycling and outreach ef- forts. Its a great chance for local businesses and organizations to accomplish something positive for the environment and create jobs in Wisconsin while keeping valuable materials out of local landlls, said Cynthia Moore of the DNRs Waste and Materials Management Program. Plastic lm recycling recov- ers clean, dry plastic wrap, bags and lm and reuses them as raw material for manufacturing prod- ucts, like new plastic bags, com- posite lumber, park benches and playground equipment. While wrap, bags and lm are in high demand, many people are not aware they are recyclable. Retail drop-off points are crucial to the WRAP project because plastic wrap, bags and lm clog curbside recycling machinery and are difcult to separate from other materials. The plastics in- dustry strongly encourages recy- clers to use retail drop-off loca- tions rather than include them in curbside collection programs. The DNR is partnering with the American Chemistry Coun- cils Flexible Film Recycling Group and GreenBlues Sus- tainable Packaging Coalition DNR joins plastics recycling initiative Retailers, industry and local governments reinvigorate plastics recycling to make Wisconsin the rst and model state for the WRAP initia- tive. Wisconsin WRAP provides a way for businesses, distribution centers and other local organi- zations to facilitate community waste reduction efforts while modelling sustainable practices of their own. A 2012 DNR plastics recy- cling study concluded that Wis- consin could realize substantial economic benets by recycling more of the valuable plastic lm that currently ends up in landlls. By volunteering as a commu- nity drop-off center and encour- aging customers to reduce, reuse and recycle their own bags and wrap, businesses like Roundys have already helped Wiscon- sin tap the potential of recycled plastic as an industrial feedstock. By distributing educational ma- terials about plastic lm recy- cling, communities in Outag- amie County, Dunn County, Eau Claire County and the city of Milwaukee are already helping to keep lm and wrap out of local landlls. In Outagamie County, for in- stance, recycling coordinator Christine Miller and the Sustain- able Communities Network have circulated educational materi- als and display posters for local stores. What truly makes WRAP unique is the way it gives busi- nesses and local governments the control to fuel and expand their own recycling success, said Moore, In this way, local gov- ernments and industry become recycling leaders. For more information on plas- tic wrap and lm recycling, or how your business or community can join the initiative, visit the DNRs website or contact Cyn- thia Moore at (608) 267-7550. The School District of Durand Board of Education is seeking 10-12 volunteers to serve on a Community Facilities Commit- tee.

Appearances Before the Board Student representatives, Janessa Bauer and Ambree Schlosser, reported on recent student activities. Michelle Zagozen and Wendy Arneson reported on the data wall in the lounge at Arkansaw Elementary. The data wall is a visual to help better understand data on student assessments. Changes are made, based on the data, to help students achieve academic success. Business a. CESA 11 Shared Services Contract for 2014-2015 Administration recommended eliminating District Level Consulting (curriculum) and changing our participation from a full to a partial Title I school. These changes would result in approximately $40,000 of savings and it is recommended to use some of the savings to hire a curriculum coordinator and to add to the contracts of the Financial Manager and Title I Coordinator because they will need to take on additional responsibilities with the reduction in services from CESA. Motion made by Mrs. Richardson and seconded by Mrs. Hoyt to approve the CESA 11 Shared Services contract for 2014-15 as presented. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. Committee Reports a. Facilities, Transportation, and Finance i. Painting Contract for the Main Gym One of the referendum projects is to paint the gyms. Until the facilities study is complete, it is recommended to only paint the main gym at the high school. With the replacement of bleachers in the main gym this summer, it would be good to paint the gym after the old bleachers are pulled out and before the new bleachers are installed. Three painting bids were received and it is recommended to accept the bid from Kum-Plete Decorating. Motion made by Mrs. Richardson and seconded by Mr. Radle to accept the bid from Kum-Plete Decorating for painting of the main gym this summer. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. ii. Elimination of Parking Fee It is recommended to eliminate the parking fee effective with the 2014-15 school year. Motion made by Mr. Weisenbeck and seconded by Mr. Radle to eliminate the parking fee. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. iii. Increase Student Registration Fee It is recommended to increase the student registration fee from $10 to $15 to cover the increasing costs of items such as student planners and locker maintenance. Motion made by Mr. Radle and seconded by Mr. Weisenbeck to increase the student registration fee by $5. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. b. Human Resources and Policy i. Compensation Program The Compensation Model has been completed, but the list of activities that will move a staff member from one level to the next is still work in progress. Motion made by Mrs. Hoyt and seconded by Mr. Hoch to approve the Compensation Model as presented. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. ii. Employee Handbook Addition 1. Part II, Section 7.09 Housing Stipend The committee is recommending adding an incentive for teachers to live in the district. A teacher purchasing their rst home in the district would be given a $5,000 stipend and $1,000 of the stipend would be forgiven each year the teacher is employed. If the teacher leaves the district before completing ve years of employment, they would need to repay a prorated amount of the stipend. Motion made by Mr. Hoch and seconded by Ms. Bauer to approve the Housing Stipend. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. iii. Employee Handbook Revisions 1. Part I, Section 1.02 Denitions One of the proposed revisions is to pay long-term subs at the starting teacher pay throughout the long-term sub assignment if it is for 10 or more days in the same position. The other revision would eliminate the dollar amount listed in the handbook for substitute support staff pay and replace the wording with beginning position pay so that the handbook does not need to be revised each time a pay schedule changes. Motion made by Mr. Weisenbeck and seconded by Mr. Hoch to approve the revision as presented. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. 2. Part III, Section 2.10 Emergency School Closing Employee Options if the Day/ Time is Not Made Up The proposed revision states that when school is closed due to inclement weather, support staff may make up the time with administrative approval. Motion made by Ms. Bauer and seconded by Mrs. Hoyt to approve the revision as presented. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. iv. Board Policy Revisions 1. 383 Animal Policy Motion made by Mrs. Hoyt and seconded by Mrs. Richardson to approve the revisions to the Animal Policy as presented. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. 2. 862 School Visitation Policy Motion made by Mr. Hoch and seconded by Mrs. Hoyt to approve the revisions to the School Visitation Policy as presented. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote. Administrative Reports a. Greg Doverspike, District Administrator i. 2014-2015 Budget We are still early in the budget process. Well have better gures after we get nal notice on our insurance rates and see how were doing on the current scal year. ii. Washington Street Project The City will do their best to minimize the impact of work on Washington Street when school is in session. The project will involve resurfacing as well as adding a sidewalk, which the City received a grant for. iii. April 17th WASB New School Board Member Gathering The WASB Regional New School Board Member Gathering will be at Durand on April 17th. Mr. Yingst commented that even though its labeled as a new board member gathering, it is open to all school board members. iv. Open Enrollment/Virtual Education Letter A letter was recently sent to families of children that are home schooled or are enrolled at a virtual charter school making them aware of the virtual education opportunities available at Durand and the advantages of enrolling here. v. CESA Distance Education Grant We are part of a matching grant with CESA 10 to upgrade our distance learning lab from analog to digital equipment. We will be given some pricing options soon. vi. Facilities Study Update There will be a meeting on March 27th on the facilities study and we should receive some general recommendations and rough costs. Most of the issues have been with ADA compliance and HVAC needs. vii. JA Day with Chippewa Valley Hospital Some staff from the Chippewa Valley Hospital spent a day with our 8th grade students to teach them about careers. The day ended with a career panel focusing on jobs in the health industry, such as nurse practitioner, occupational therapist, and lab technician. Everyone did a great job. viii. Health Insurance Renewal Rates Our health cooperative hasnt had a good year, so we will probably see a premium increase of 9.75%. ix. CVTC Academy Program There was a meeting with the Dean of CVTCs Manufacturing School and the Technology Education teachers from Durand and Mondovi regarding an academy program. Another meeting is scheduled for April 10th, where we are hoping to nalize the details of the program and start getting promotional materials together. x. WIAA Annual Meeting Amendments Mr. Barry Terpstra will represent the District at the WIAA Annual Meeting. A couple amendments to be voted on at the meeting are whether to let schools decide realignment of conferences rather than WIAA and whether to apply a multiplier to the enrollment of private schools for tournament placement. Some thoughts of the Board were to vote no on the rst question and to either table the second question in order to look at other options or vote no. Mr. Yingst will meet with Mr. Doverspike and Mr. Terpstra to go over information he has on these proposed amendments. b. Bill Clouse, Middle/High School Principal Mr. Doverspike reported for Mr. Clouse that the Academic Decathlon team placed rst in State competition last Thursday and Friday. Appearances Before the Board Chris Kees Winkler asked if administrative reports could be made available to the public and congratulated the district on hiring Mr. Evans as a science teacher; he is doing a fabulous job. Chris also talked about Chromebooks and asked if the district was planning to purchase more this year. She stated that a Chromebook cant replace a quality teacher, and the district needs to research appropriate use of technology in the classroom. Executive Session 19.85(1)(c) and 19.85(1)(e) Motion made by Mrs. Richardson and seconded by Mr. Radle to convene into executive session in accordance with 19.85(1) (c) and 19.85(1)(e).

Address 5439 Durand Ave., #220 Racine, WI 53406 (262) 554-6200 April 10, 17, 24, 2014 Amendment No. 105 to Ordinance No. 179 Pepin County Land Management Department In accordance with the provisions of Section 59.14 and 59.69(5) of the Wisconsin State Statutes, notice is hereby given that the Pepin County Board of Supervisors has amended its Code of Ordinances Amendment No. 105 to Ordinance No. 179 Title: Chapter 22 Telecommunications Towers, Antennas, and Related Facilities Ordinance Date Enacted: April 15, 2014 Summary: The ordinance serves to: 1) Maintain and ensure that a nondiscriminatory, competitive and broad range of telecommunications services and high quality telecommunications infrastructure consistent with the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 are provided to serve the community, as well as serve as an important and effective part of the Pepin County police, re and emergency response network. 2) Provide a process for obtaining necessary permits for telecommunication facilities while at the same time protecting the interests of Pepin County citizens. 3) Facilitate the development and future upgrades of telecommunication services available in Pepin County. The State of Wisconsin passed Wisconsin Act 20 in the summer of 2013 which established new guidelines for the regulation of telecommunication towers, antennas, and related facilities as outlined in Wis.

PAGE 18 April 24, 2014 THE COURIER-WEDGE Durand Area Optimists hold annual Easter Bunny Breakfast & Egg Hunt April 19 A good crowd came to this years Easter bunny breakfast and egg hunts, an annual event put on by the Durand Area Optimists. Held at the Durand High School from 7-10:30, two egg hunts were held for children ages 0-12, with a breakfast of french toast and sausage. Christina Lindstrom Photos The 2013 Miss Durand royal court and Miss Junior Teen Wisconsin stopped for a photo with the Easter bunny. Children were able to have their faces painted by current members of the Miss Durand court, and by those who will be running for Miss Durand this summer. A bake sale with plenty of tasty treats was also offered to benet the Creative Start Early Learning Center. The 0-3 year olds had easy to nd eggs, and despite the big crowd, had plenty of treats to go around. The youngsters got a little help from their parents and grandparents. The 4-6 year olds had a few obstacles thrown in amongst their eggs, and also got plenty of treats. 7-9 year olds had to go up hills, around stairs, and behind the school to nd their eggs, which were more wide-spread. Some eggs contained slips that allowed kids to claim prizes at age-appropriate tables. Volunteers helped kids pick out fun prizes after the egg hunt. This years weather was more cooperative than last year, so the egg hunt was able to be held outside surrounding the school in the beautiful spring weather. Many families attended the annual hunt and enjoyed breakfast, as well as visiting the Easter bunny.
