Forty former players or coaches attended Parkview’s Basketball Alumni night.

Green County, like the rest of the State of Wisconsin, is vulnerable to a variety of disasters.

Wisconsin has incurred disaster-re-lated damages totaling $3 billion in the last three decades but future losses can be reduced through mitigation activi-ties. A recent study by the Multi-hazard Mitigation Council shows that each dol-

lar spent on mitigation saves society an average of four dollars.

Since 1993 more than 400 disasters have occurred in the United States, af-fecting communities in all 50 states, costing the country over $500 million dollars per week and killing over 24,000 people.

Mitigation actions reduce or elim-

inate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards. These pre-ventative actions can be as simple as elevating a furnace in a basement that sometimes has water on the floor.

Mitigation can also have a com-prehensive approach such as relocat-ing buildings out of the floodplain or strengthening critical facilities to pre-vent wind damage and provide stronger shelter.

In an effort to better prepare Green County to manage its vulnerability to disasters, Green County Emergency Management applied for, received, and has completed a Pre Disaster Mitigation (PDM) update planning grant.

This plan update will serve as a road-map that outlines potential cost-effec-tive hazard mitigation activities, some of which might be available for future grant funding. The updated plan out-lines the risks and vulnerabilities that the county faces from natural disaster and highlights mitigation strategies that might reduce future losses. The com-pleted draft hazard mitigation plan up-date is available for review and public comment until Friday, Jan. 19, 2018.

The plan can viewed online at www.greencountyem.com or call the Green County Emergency Management office at 328-9416 to schedule an appointment between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Parkview announces Hall of Fame inducteesParkview HS will be inducting 2 new members into our Athletic Hall of

basketball game on Friday, Feb. 16.There will also be a social in the commons following the games.Inductees are: Kris Keyser, Class of 1982, and Kathy Selck, Class of 1994.

WISTAX Facts: Slowed local taxes drive decline in state’s tax burden

The state-local tax burden relative to personal income has declined steadi-ly in recent years, from a high of 11.9% in 2011 to 10.7% in 2017. This figure excludes federal taxes.

This decrease has been driven primarily by income expansion and re-strained growth in local tax collections. As a share of personal income, the local tax burden fell from 4.5% of income in 2011 to 3.7% in 2017. The state’s share fell from 7.4% to 7.0% of income.

Tax collections illustrate this trend even more clearly. State collections increased 10.1% between 2012 and 2017, while they increased only 3.8% at the local level.

Albany Historical Society announces meeting agenda

SHARE, the new library catalog and account portal will be available in search-only mode at all public li-braries in Rock County Monday, Jan. 8 through Wednesday, Jan. 10.

In this transitional stage, RockCat–the previous catalog–will be disabled and SHARE will take its place. The new web address for the catalog is sharelibraries.info and may also be accessed using the link off your Rock County public library’s homepage.

SHARE is expected to be launched in full-service mode one library at a time Thursday, Jan. 11. Once your home library has been brought fully online, you may begin using all the features of SHARE by logging in with your current library card bar code and your new PIN, which is the last four digits of your phone number on re-

cord. Don’t forget to save your library card, you will continue using it!

During the three-day transition pe-riod patrons will be able to checkout materials at the desk of the library they visit (no-self checks) and will have the same access to public com-puters they are accustomed to (using their old PIN if required for logon). Library events and programs will continue as scheduled, be sure to visit.

Several library services and fea-tures will not be available during the three-day transition. Access to patron accounts will be unavailable to pa-trons and librarians meaning no new library cards will be issued, contact information cannot be changed, bills for fines and fees may not be settled, and interlibrary loan will be suspend-ed.

Digital library services such as Hoopla and OverDrive (Libby) may not be available. Materials returned to libraries will not be checked in during the transition–due dates have been adjusted to reflect this. These services are expected to resume Thursday, Jan. 11.

If patrons plan to visit shortly after the SHARE transition and find it con-venient to hold on to items they wish to returns until then, it would be great-ly appreciated. Please be sure to check item due dates before deciding when to return them.

For more information about the SHARE transition timeline or its features, visit als.lib.wi.us/share.html and follow Arrowhead Library System, Wisconsin and your favorite public library on Facebook.

By Derek Hoesly CORRESPONDENT

The Juda Panthers (5-7 overall, 2-3 Six Rivers) steamrolled the Monticello Ponies 55-29 in a Six Rivers eastern division contest last Thursday.

Juda’s smothering 2-2-1 full court press generated a number of turnovers in the opening 3:29 of the game to pro-pel the Panthers to a commanding 11-0 lead. Senior Mackenzie Byrne fueled the scorching start with three steals and fast break layups.

“It’s not that common of press. It’s really just figuring out where we need to be and if we turn the ball over trying to score and that really got our offense going,” head coach Curtis Brown said.

“I think that we push ourselves to go harder and push ourselves to make them turn the ball over. We just work really hard to make the other team mess up,” Byrne said.

After Abby Wicker broke the Po-nies scoring drought with a putback, Juda sophomore Montana Steinmann

ripped off 11 straight points to put the Panthers up 22-5. Juda playing with-out their leading scorer, senior Maddie Roth, Steinmann provided a lift to the lineup on this night. Steinmann had the hot hand early torching the Ponies with three long balls including one off a drive and kick out by Byrne. She also got in on the turnover party with a steal and transition layin.

“Tana (Montana) has really come along over the season. She has done really well at shooting when she needs to. She’s our three point shooter so that’s who we look for,” Byrne said.

“She’s doing a great job as a soph-omore. Her first year on varsity. She’s really starting to come into her own. I think now that we’re in January she’s got her rhythm down, getting confi-dence in her shot and we ask a lot of her,” Brown said.

The Panthers lead ballooned to 30-5 midway through the opening half. Juda went to their post game late in the half. Senior Hailey Kammerer finished on the block with a spin move. Byrne found a wide open Kammerer down low on the push during the run.

The Panthers continued to pound the ball inside in the closing minutes of the half. Junior Hannah Powers had three inside baskets including a drop step. Juda got high percentage shots at ease against the Ponies’ zone and man-to-man defense in the opening half. The Panthers took an insurmountable 45-17 halftime lead.

The second half was a different sto-ry. Juda’s overall shooting was cold just like the frigid temperature outside. The first basket came at the 12:40 mark on a Kammerer baseline jumper. The Ponies’ 2-3 zone made the Panthers work for every shot.

“The first half we were pushing the ball a lot more. In the second half Mon-ticello was really pushing harder and working harder to stop us,” Byrne said.

Brown also was trying some dif-ferent objectives on the offensive end

during the second half with the large lead. Add in a few turnovers and missed shots you have the recipe for a 10 point second half.

“We worked through about three dif-ferent things there in the second half to kind of get through it. It wasn’t perfect but I saw some things that I wanted to which was fine,” Brown said.

Byrne knocked down two free throws after getting hammered on a baseline drive. Byrne punished the Ponies defense not only in the scoring column but dished out several assists to teammates. Steinmann was a benefi-ciary of Byrne’s excellent court vision with clean looks from down town. The duo of Byrne and Steinmann gave the Ponies problems throughout the con-test especially in the first half.

“Those two really have do a good job of looking for each other up and down the floor. That’s something we’ve been working on moving the

ball and they do a good job with that,” Brown said.

One bright spot for Monticello was Brokopp. Brokopp found the bottom of the net on a banked floater in the lane. Brokopp scored a team-high 11 points including two 3-pointers.

Byrne paced the Panthers’ offense with 19 points including 17 in the opening half. Steinmann scored 13 of her 14 points in the first half. Powers contributed nine points and Kammerer chipped in eight points in the contest.

“She’s pretty quick with the basket-ball and she can get around people. Just the idea that she’s looking to be a little more aggressive shooting is nice and we need that from her,” Brown said of Byrne’s strong play.

“I just looked to drive the ball a lot because I noticed that the lane was open. Our posts were blocking off their players so I could drive. I was getting to the lane easier,” Byrne said.

Desoto is 2 ½ years old, and an altered male domestic shorthair. This handsome cat is the king of the cat-tery...or so he likes to believe. Deso-to is an easy-going feline with a chill attitude and perceptive personality. Friendly and curious, this panther-like cat enjoys rolling over for belly rubs and asking for pets. He is interested in other cats, but can sometimes get too rambunctious when he is engaged in playtime (he doesn’t always realize the strength of his paws). Desoto would do well with an experienced cat-owner who can keep him occupied with cud-dles and cat toys.

Check our website at www.green-countyhumane.org for new arrivals of cats and dogs, adoption fees, and up-coming events, etc.

Material NeedsFor the Dogs: hot dogs, canned dog

food, Mounds Dog Power, rawhide re-triever sticks, Kongs, Frisbees, tennis balls, peanut butter

For the Cats: Kitten Milk (formula), Mounds Purrfect Cat, canned cat food

REGISTER

8 • Wednesday, January 10, 2018 - The Independent-Register

By Rev. P. Jack Way, Jr.PASTOR, LUTHER VALLEY LUTHERAN

Alert Day! Stay Warm! Be Careful! Dangerous Wind Chills! Bomb Cy-clone! Frostbite Times! The headlines are so radically urgent and at least a lit-tle frightening.

Two thousand years ago, there was radically urgent and at least a little frightening news in the backwoods hills not terribly distant from Jerusalem. An insignificant and historical birth was taking place among the livestock there in the sticks where no self-respecting husband would take his nine- month pregnant fiancé. No room for the cou-ple had been found among relatives. None with the distant fifth cousins twice removed on his great aunt’s side,

nor even the among those cousins from near home, back in Galilee.

There was no space anywhere re-spectable for the unmarried couple whose baby was obviously coming at any moment. The labor pains were urgent. The birth was frighteningly imminent. Then the most natural and amazingly sacred act that can be ac-complished by a woman was finished. Amid groans and cries, with the mess-iness and beauty of water and blood, there is a child, a son. Miracle and com-mon intertwine connecting mother and child. Torn cloth wraps the baby into again feeling secure.

Silently away from the tourists, all those descendants of King David had been arriving in the village named after

bread. A little frightening and somewhat urgently, all came to register as ordered by the foreign King-God-Emperor.

Of course, it was enforced under threat as had been commanded by the local yokel politician. The nearby gov-ernor, the official that they knew about, was the same one who was now being called by the foreigner’s name he had been given.

Then, of course, there was the ob-vious local police presence, reinforced by the national guardsmen, and just outside the village were the occupying soldiers from distant powerful nations. All were on alert. Not only to insure compliance to the edict about everyone being counted, but also anxiously on edge.

Nervous and distrustful of all the strangers in town, they grasped their weapons closely in fear of the radicals

in this forsaken place that had a repu-tation for being full of revolutionaries. They urgently wanted this motley crew gone as quickly as possible.

Stinking of sheep, the local scum, those thieves that all the locals called shepherds, arrived from the pastures in the hills. It was clear they were in a hur-ry to get somewhere. Suspicious eyes watched them carefully.

Stopped repeatedly by the cops, it took all the control these shepherds had within them to hide the urgency of their mission of finding this divine one, this newborn child.

The one who had been long prom-ised, sung about by angels and the host of heavens, they absolutely must find this one babe wrapped as only poor mothers from the villages can do. It was the one to come that was promised by the prophets. He is the only one who

would be Messiah. This one will de-liver God’s people from the oppression of their captors into the freedom of this very land promised in ancient times to them and their ancestors. A land flow-ing with milk and honey would return to them after so long suffering under the rod of repressive leaders.

The child was laying in a manger among the livestock when they located him with his mother and her fiancé. The smell of shepherds, of animals, of feed and hay blended with the scent of new birth. Surely, God is in this place.

Urgently God continues to break into the world. Frightening deeply those who cannot imagine or allow the least to be the greatest. Or, that the babe in rags is Eternal King. Keep Alert! Be Careful!

A blessed Epiphany (referring to the revelation of God’s Son) be yours.

The Hunt for Economic Development-Part 1Economic development... activities that create a net gain of money into the community, whereby, low-income economies are transformed into living wage economies.

Often folks have only a vague notion of what economic development is. They may think it means any type of construction, maybe some new parks or even a community center. Smarter folks talk about job creation. A community’s economic base consists of the businesses that bring net income to your community beyond what is consumed there. It’s critical to understand and increase the economic base of Brodhead... that will make us prosperous.

As your mayor my highest priority will be to improve economic development in our city. To be successful we need more than meetings, we need to be actively involved. The question we should be asking employers face to face is: “What is it you would require from us to consider locating in Brodhead?” I intend to target and personally visit companies and entrepreneurs to ask real questions concerning moving to, or starting up, in Brodhead. Especially this question: “How can we make this happen?”

We also need to bring the Building Inspector (BI) position back in house. We must have a very responsive BI Dept. to attract new business. We should be assisting new builders, developers and employers by speeding up the permit process. Bureaucratic complexities discourage new growth.

We must get out of the real estate business... let the private sector work. I favor annexation vs direct purchase and resell. That would free up assets for more critical uses.

My name is Tim Stocks and I want to work for you as your mayor. Please send contributions to:

The professional group provided him the opportunity to sing at Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden alongside many vocal stars of the day. But the highlight of his singing career that brought him the most joy was singing for the Lord. He was blessed to be a member of the Oracles, Rock Praire Church Choir, and most recently “The Trio” - with Brandon Crandall and

Joanie Heinze.Wayne is survived by his wife,

A visitation will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. prior to the celebration, at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that you please make a charitable donation to Janesville Agrace Hospice, or the Rock Prairie Church Choir in Wayne’s honor.

Angie from Hospice. Schneider Funer-al Home & Crematory is assisting the family.
