Doug Williams discusses the high points of a Kuhn Merge Maxx, a forage mower and conditioner that allows growers to make fewer passes through the field and merge windrows. The mower was one of 17 pieces Knight brought to the Expo, which was held last week at the Alliant Energy Center grounds in Madison, Wis. Williams said the show, which brings people working in the dairy industry from over 100 countries, offers a chance for countries to learn from each other, and introduce equipment that might be previously unfamiliar. Williams pointed to one of Kuhn’s self-propelled total mixed ration (TMR) feeders parked on the Kuhn space. The machines are in broader use across Europe, but are gradually gaining use in Canada, and the one at the Expo drew plenty of attention. Williams said that the World Dairy Expo stands out from oth-er shows because it is a “vertical show,” drawing nearly all of its attendees from the dairy industry, rather than assorted agricultural trades. In addition to product support, Williams manages shows and traveling for Kuhn, the Brodhead, Wis., farm machinery manufacturer. Williams also sits on the World Dairy Expo board of directors and is a member of the committee overseeing commercial exhibitors.

Troy and Lindsey Nevil of Juda, Wis., bred this 3-year-old registered Brown Swiss, Bittersweet Totally Sauced, who placed 16th at the World Dairy Expo last week. The cow won high honors earlier this year at the Wisconsin Brown Swiss State Show in West Salem, Wis., where she was named the first-place Senior 3-year-old, and later, the Reserve Intermediate Champion. In an email, Lindsey Nevil said she and her hus-band usually attend Expo every year, since seeing other cows can help them with breeding decisions in our own herd. Nevil also wrote that bringing the farm’s cows helps promote the farm’s genetics. Additionally, Nevil said they enjoy catching up with other farmers who they rarely or never see outside of shows. Troy and Lindsey be-gan buying cattle when they were 20 and slowly have added more through the years. Bittersweet Farm’s current herd consists of around 125 animals total, with about 50 milking Brown Swiss, one milking Guernsey and three Jerseys. Troy grew up in town, but he spent every chance he got to be at his grandparents’ dairy farm. In high school, he worked for local dairy farms, and then worked at Voegeli Farms for seven years. He then spent two years at Sunshine Genetics in Whitewater, Wis. Lindsey grew up on her family’s registered Guernsey farm. In addition to working on the farm, she also works full-time as a registered nurse at a local hospital. They have one daughter, Tenley, who is 2 years old.

After years of waiting, the people of Wisconsin can finally buy homemade cookies, cakes, muffins and breads di-rectly from home bakers. Today, a La-fayette Circuit Court judge clarified his May 31 ruling that the state’s ban on selling home-baked goods is unconsti-tutional.

Wisconsin officials had argued that the ruling was limited to Lisa Kivirist, Kriss Marion and Dela Ends—the three bakers, and Wisconsin Farmers Union members, who teamed up with the Institute for Justice in January 2016 to challenge the ban in state court.

But this week, Judge Duane Jorgen-son disagreed, clarifying that his ruling applies not only to the three plaintiffs, but to all home bakers like them.

As a result, home bakers across the Badger State are now free to sell safe, delicious baked goods that do not re-quire refrigeration directly to consum-ers.

“This is a win for all of us home bak-ers,” said home baker Hannah Shaw, who stopped selling her cakes and cupcakes earlier this year after the gov-ernment issued a cease and desist order against her. “I can’t wait to start baking again!” Law enforcement threatened Shaw with a $10,000 fine and a year in jail, merely for selling the delicious goods out of her home.

The new ruling came about after the

plaintiffs informed the court that the Wisconsin attorney general’s office was still enforcing the unconstitution-al ban on selling home-baked goods against everyone except the three of them.

In his initial May decision, Judge Jorgenson found that the ban had “no real or substantial connection” to pro-tecting the public, because there was no instance of anyone ever becoming sick from an improperly baked good despite home-baked goods being le-gally sold in 48 states. In addition, the judge found that the ban only bene-fited special interest groups, like the Wisconsin Bakers Association, who wanted the government to shut down healthy competition from home bakers.

“This ruling is a major step for eco-nomic liberty and common sense in Wisconsin,” said Erica Smith, lead attorney on the case with the Institute for Justice. “Wisconsin was one of only two states, the other being New Jersey, that banned the sale of goods baked in a home oven. Before a person could sell even one cookie, they need-ed to acquire an expensive commercial kitchen and a burdensome commercial license. Now, Wisconsin home bakers are free to sell their baked goods out of their home, at community events and at farmers’ markets—something people are already doing in almost every other state every day.”

“This decision opens the door for rural entrepreneurs to take part in the growing farm-to-foodie movement,” said Wisconsin Farmers Union Presi-dent Darin Von Ruden. “Home baking is a natural fit for many of our family farmer members, who are looking to add an extra revenue stream by sell-ing baked goods at farmers markets, at their on-farm bed and breakfasts, or to family and friends.”

Von Ruden encouraged home bak-ers to adopt best practices for Cottage Foods, use approved recipes, label ingredients and provide baker contact information on labels or at the point of sale.

This week, Wisconsin Farmers Union will launch www.wisconsin-cottagefood.com, a website that will provide approved recipes and other re-sources for home baker entrepreneurs.

“The ruling is great news for our tiny town’s farmers’ markets that have been waiting to welcome start-up baking vendors for six years now,” said home baker and plaintiff Kriss Marion.

“I personally can’t wait to bake and eat all of that fresh-from-the-kitchen homemade goodness. It’s what the people want, and now they can get it. Bon appétit!”

Prior to the lawsuit, Wisconsin al-ready allowed the sale of homemade foods like raw apple cider, maple syrup and popcorn, as well as canned goods like jams and pickles. But the evidence showed that baked goods were as safe and even safer than many of these oth-er goods. The state even allowed non-profit organizations to sell any type of homemade foods at events for up to 12 days a year. As the court found in May, it was blatantly irrational to allow these goods to be sold without a license and commercial grade kitchen, but not baked goods for profit. State officials must now immediately stop prosecut-ing local entrepreneurs and allow cus-tomers to decide where they want to get their baked goods.

“This is more than a win for us home-based bakers, it’s recognition that all small businesses have the right to earn an honest living free from ir-rational government regulation,” said plaintiff Lisa Kivirist. “I’m excited to get in my kitchen and start baking with the rest of our state’s amazing bakers as Wisconsin is finally and truly open for business.”

Wisconsin Farmers Union is a mem-ber-driven organization committed to enhancing the quality of life for fami-ly farmers, rural communities, and all people through educational opportuni-ties, cooperative endeavors, and civic engagement. Learn more at www.wis-consinfarmersunion.com.

Better Brodhead is holding two more showings of an HBO docu-mentary “Warning: This Drug May Kill You,” that explores the ravages of opioid addiction.

The next showing will be at 6 p.m. at the Albany Lions Club on Monday, Oct. 16. The Lions club is located at 402 Cincinnati St., Alba-ny.

The Monroe High School Per-forming Arts Center will host a showing on Monday, Oct. 23 at 6 p.m. The Performing Arts Center is located at 1315 11th St., in Monroe.

The HBO website summarizes as follows:

The documentary takes an un-flinching look at the devastating effects of opioid addiction in the U.S., profiling four families whose lives have been decimated by ad-dictions that all began with legiti-mate prescriptions …

Through the personal and emo-tional stories of people on the front lines of this epidemic, the film sheds light on the struggles of ordinary people who were prescribed highly addictive opioid pain medications,

which are often the gateway to a very similar opioid, heroin.

Better Brodhead warns that the film contains content and images that some may find disturbing. It is not recommended for children under 15 years of age. High school students need to be accompanied by their parents. Counselors will be available following the film.

The opioid epidemic has, by any number of measures, already ar-rived in Green County.

A report from the state Depart-ment of Health indicates that Green County recorded 26 hospitaliza-tions and inpatient treatments in-volving opioids, such as heroin or prescription painkillers, in 2013, up from just two in 2006. Statewide, the rate of such visits doubled from 2013 to 2015.

The showings are sponsored by Better Brodhead, Green County Human Services, and F.A.I.T.H.

Nancy Richardson from Green

County AODA will provide a brief introduction prior to the film screening. Attendees will also re-ceive resources and information to assist with helping this epidemic in their community.

As a follow-up to the HBO screenings, Aids Resource Cen-ter of Wisconsin will be providing Narcan Trainings on Monday, Nov. 6, and Monday, Nov. 13.

The Monday, Nov. 6, training will be held at the Brodhead Li-brary from 6 to 7 p.m. a

Brodhead UMC to host ham dinner

Rep. Mark SpreitzerSTATE ASSEMBLY, (D-BELOIT)

Anticipating frenzied Senate and Assembly activity in Madison early next year, Rep. Mark Spre-itzer (D-Beloit) introduced a bill today to bolster the legislative pro-

cess. Spreitzer’s proposal will better

ensure full and deliberate consid-eration of proposals in both legis-lative chambers.

“In the past, the Senate and As-sembly have rushed bills through

public hearings and fast tracked bills in order to get them on jam packed floor calendars before the end of the legislative session,” Rep. Spreitzer said.

“Legislators have an obligation to represent our constituents to the best of our ability, but when the legislature tries to pass laws at high speed, not enough importance is placed on that duty.”

Last year, the Assembly and Sen-ate took up massive floor calendars to move numerous bills as quickly as possible and allow members to leave town for the year. I

n February 2016, the State As-sembly considered 110 bills in a single day while the State Senate considered 47. Two days later, the Assembly scheduled an additional 88 bills and then adjourned, even

though 10 full months remained in the year.

“When too many bills are pushed too quickly through poorly attend-ed committee meetings and then onto a bloated floor calendar, the quality of legislating and represen-tation suffers,” Rep. Spreitzer said.

“This is not how the Wisconsin legislature should do its business.”Bill proposes three reforms

1. Limit both the percentage of Assembly or Senate committees that can meet on any day or in any week, and the number of bills they can consider at any one meeting. This will allow legislators to attend the majority of their committee meetings and fully vet legislation.

2. Limit the number of bills that the Assembly or Senate can con-sider on any floor session day or

in any session week so that legis-lators may adequately review all legislation they will be voting on.

3. Prohibits committees from holding an Executive Session the same day as a floor session for that house, so that legislators can focus their attention on the bills they will consider on the floor.

“There is a limit to the number of bills that the public, and their elected representatives, can ad-equately review in a day or in a week,” Rep. Spreitzer said.

“By spreading out our activity, we can take the time to talk to our constituents, allow them to digest issues, hear their concerns, and do our jobs properly.”

Rep. Spreitzer proposed this bill last session as 2015 Assembly Bill 965.

Spreitzer calls for halt to last-minute legislating

By Erica RothCOUNTY BOARD SUPERVISOR

I had the opportunity to attend the 2017 Wisconsin Counties Association Annual Conference last week. What an incredible three days of learning.

During the conference we learned about legislature, problems facing the counties in our state, how to find solutions, and ways counties are improving life for their residents through tourism, agriculture, and industry.

During the conference, attendees were given the choice of which break out ses-sions to attend. The choices were many and varied, and at times it was a very hard deci-sion because the topics were all things that could help us here in Green County. The business meeting, and sessions on Women

in Wisconsin Government, The Future of Agriculture, Groundwater Issues, Roles and Responsibilities of a County Board Member, and Community Placemaking were the sessions that I attended.

I took copious notes and have brought back ideas and understanding that will help us as Green County goes forward.

The experience was eye opening in the realization that Green County is not alone, by far, in the struggles we face with water and air issues, agricultural consolidations, school funding, zoning, adequate protec-tion of our natural resources, regulatory enforcement, rural broadband, roads, and on and on.

We are joined by the majority of the 72 counties in the state in facing these and many other issues. This conference was an

opportunity to come together and find out how other counties are dealing with these issues that all of us are facing.

A statewide issue that was highlighted by the Wisconsin Counties Association at this conference is the opioid epidemic that is sweeping across our state and nation. Not one county in Wisconsin is without an opi-oid problem at an epidemic proportion.

The effects are far reaching and devas-tating in our communities. Our Health De-partments are overwhelmed, under-staffed and under-funded to handle the loads being put on them. Law enforcement and child services are being stretched.

Our services are not adequate to meet the needs, and we do not have the funding to increase our resources. This is a big prob-lem with not many solutions. If effective

means are not sought, it will only get expo-nentially worse. The Wisconsin Counties Association put out a call to action.

Back home in Green County, ideas and inspiration abound; county board business continues. The October County Board meeting will be held on the THIRD Tues-day of October, Oct. 17, at 7 p.m. in the Historic Courthouse in Monroe.

The agenda was published Oct. 10, and should include a presentation of the 2018 County Budget, to be discussed and passed in November. The Green County website is home to all things relating to Green County government. www.co.green.wi.gov

Roth: Green County not alone in challenges


By Kathy HeiderPARKVIEW PR SPECIALIST

This year grades K-5 have switched to a math program called Bridges. I visited some the class-rooms to observe students working on their math skills. I also talked to some of the teachers and students and asked them about the program.

Mrs. Cramer said that the pro-gram is more engaging and has more hands on activities that help reinforce what the students have learned. Concepts being learned in third grade include multiplication and graphing.

The students work with partners quite often and discuss what they are learning. This helps the students be

more engaged in learning and they can also see that sometimes there is more than one way to do things.

Since students learn in different ways this helps students to learn in the way the works best for them.

In Mrs. Harnack’s third grade classroom I observed the students working on a story problem. The problem was displayed on the smart board and the students helped read the problem. After figuring out whether the problem called for ad-dition or subtraction, the students needed to write out the equation for their problem and then solve. Stu-dents worked as partners and had their answers checked and remarked upon by Mrs. Harnack.

In Mrs. Lehl’s kindergarten class two sixth graders were helping with math during the workstations por-tion of class. She said they volun-teer to come in during their recess time; different students volunteer each day. The students gathered around workstations that allow them to work on different skills, and dif-ferent concepts, that re-emphasize what was learned in math class

In Mrs. Neal’s first grade class, students were also working in work-stations. One of the activities they were doing was spinning a spinner that pointed to either a penny or a nickel. They had to write the num-ber 1 for penny or 5 for nickel on a sheet after each spin. The goal was to see which number “won’ by fill-ing it’s column first. This activity helped them practice writing their numbers, learn the value of pennies and nickels and learn how to tally results.

In Mrs. Whitehead’s first grade class, students at workstations were practicing how to write numbers, and learning the values of pennies and nickels this activity taught the “greater than (>)” concept.

Mrs. Danielson’s kindergarteners

were also doing activity stations. Some were playing a game called spill the beans where they had to “spill” some beans and then write the number of beans that were white (spilled) on their activity sheet.

Others were working with geo-boards, creating shapes with bands.

I talked to fourth grade teachers Sheri Montgomery and Belden Mo-ran about the new math. Both of them approved.

“You’re gaining skills and you don’t even know it’s getting harder as you go,” Moran said.

“I like having games to make it more fun to learn and you are still learning,” Montgomery said.

I found the majority of the classes during their workstation portion of the class, where they use activities

and games to reinforce what they have learned.

Another thing that the classrooms are doing is a “numbers corner” which they work on at a different

time than math class. It also rein-forces math concepts.

Second-graders were working with a calendar and collecting data and graphing the results.

The Juda Panthers picked up a three-game sweep 25-18, 25-10, 26-24 over the Albany Comets in a Six Rivers Eastern division match-up last Tuesday.

Juda raced out to a 6-2 lead in set one. Senior Hailey Kammer-er served up an ace. Senior Eri-ka Duecker laced a spike on the outside and junior Hannah Pow-ers drilled an outside cross-court smash. Senior Maddie Roth tat-tooed a kill to the back corner.

“Maddie was really hot tonight. She did really great. Her, Erika and I we all were focused on being of-fensive threats. She’s really on a roll right now,” Kammerer said.

“My hitters did what they needed to do. They kept balls in play and balls that were in their zone they took big cuts and most of the balls went in and we hit positive for the night which is a big key for our team,” head coach Scott Anderson said.

Albany clawed back with a 4-0 run to tie the game at nine. Junior Payton Zurfluh hammered a mid-dle spike. Midway through set one, Juda went on a 12-4 run to take a commanding 23-14 lead.

During this stretch, the Pan-thers put relentless pressure on the Comets defense with several pre-cisely located spike attempts. The Panthers passing was also sharp, allowing the hitters to get clean looks.

“We were controlling the ball to our setter Mackenzie Byrne really

well and when we do that every-thing tends to work out,” Anderson said.

Albany answered with a 4-0 run but that’s as close as the Comets would get in set one.

Set two belonged to the Panthers. Juda jumped out to an insurmount-able 10-2 lead. Senior Zoe Rath-sack had a solo block in the middle, and was a force in the middle all night.

Juda closed out set two with a 6-1 run, and Rathsack landed another thunderous block on the Comets’ most dangerous hitter, Libby Beck. Powers connected on a middle kill to seal set two.

Juda controlled the tempo, and were in system for the majority of games one and two.

“I think it was really important that we had the mentality that we kind of want to set the pace for the night,” Kammerer said.

Game three was a back-and-forth battle. Albany snatched the early momentum grabbing a 6-0 lead. The Comets controlled the tempo, creating swing opportu-nities for their hitters. Juda also was hindered by some sloppy play throughout the stretch.

“Albany is a much better vol-leyball team in the last six weeks. I think Albany drove us out of system. It does look lackadaisical cause when you’re out of system, you’re chasing. I’m going to give them the credit on that,” Anderson said.

The Panthers stormed back with an 8-0 run to gain the momentum.

Rathsack led the run, as she won winning two net points.

“(Rothsack) has really been do-ing great lately and just kind of stepping up and owning her role. She’s more confident at the net, which is something earlier in the season she didn’t have … She has been an awesome key player in tight situations,” Kammerer said.

“Zoe’s found her niche around the net and what she can bring to the team. She has big hands over the net and she can hit the ball pret-ty hard,” Anderson said.

The Panthers pulled away mid-way through set three with a 4-1 run, to go up 16-13. Senior Mack-enzie Byrne sparked the surge with a timely ace, and Roth drilled a kill on the outside. Albany tied the game at 16.

Juda then pulled away on a 5-2 run to go up 22-19, and seized con-trol of set three.

The Comets evened the score at 23 with a 4-1 run. Roth put the Pan-thers up 24-23 on an outside kill. Moments later, Juda committed a hitting error. Byrne snatched victo-ry for the Panthers with a perfect serve.

Roth paced the Panthers’ hitting attack with a match-high seven kill.

Rathsack chipped in five kills, and led all players with five blocks.

Byrne led Juda with 18 assists, four aces and 18 digs.

Beck led the Comets’ hitting charge with six spikes. Junior Syd-ney Bloedel contributed 10 assists; while Beck and Zurfluh each had a team-high nine digs.

Currently, three of the new members are in the Firefighter 1 course and will be finished by November of 2017. With this training under their belt, the firefighters are then allowed to go into a burning building.

The department continues to make progress toward building their own train-ing center, so the department can further improve ourselves, to protect our citizens better and to keep us safer.

The department also is maintaining its plan to build a landing pad for any med-ical helicopters (such as UW Medflight, REACT, or Flight For Life) to land on as needed.

The department also plans on starting a free course for the public on severe bleeding control for anyone interested, as needed.

A cancer fund has been started to help the Don Wehinger family.

Many of you know Don, his wife Debbie, or daughter Arienne. Don is originally from South Wayne and Debbie is a 1982 graduate of Brod-head High. What started out as a sore throat and an earache was revealed as cancer.

He was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (non-Hod-gkin) in June of this year.

Don carries the family medical in-

surance, but he has no disability in-surance—his company doesn’t offer it.

In between his chemotherapy treatments, hospitalizations and emergency room visits for side ef-fects, he is still trying to work when his body allows.

It is becoming a major struggle for him to continue to work.

The medical bills are mounting, and becoming overwhelming, due to his inability to work and the resulting

lack of income. This is taking a toll on their family,

both in terms of health and finances. As more days go by that he can’t work, they are struggling with the day-to-day living expenses.

Debbie continues to work full-time, but has also had to take a lot of time off to take him to treatments, doctor visits and to care for him. They make many trips back and forth to the UW Hospital in Madison.

Don had been scheduled for an extensive and much-needed surgery in August on his abdomen, but that has now been put on hold until the cancer has been taken care of, which will mean more time off from work in the future.

The chemotherapy Don is receiv-ing is known to have ototoxic proper-ties, which cause permanent hearing loss. Once treatments are complete, he will need to be fitted for hearing aids.

Funds to help the family can be sent or dropped off at the Sugar Riv-er Bank in Brodhead, P.O. Box 105, Brodhead, WI 53520.

Friends are also planning a fund-raising event on Facebook, although neither Don nor Debbie have a Face-book account.

JOHN A, KOMPERDA John A, Komperda, born July 12,

1954 in Chicago, Ill., died Oct. 2,

2017, in Albany, Wis. John at-tended Catholic schools in Chi-cago and was a life-long learner: a knowledgeable fan of history, rock n roll, mov-ies and American culture from all decades of his life and could converse about anything.

An accomplished guitar player and teacher, he was a guitarist’s’ guitarist, was a well-loved local performer at events, such as Green County Break-fast on the Farm, humorous and be-loved entertainer at several area nurs-ing homes, street serenading at local festivals), and was always sharing what he knew as second nature, and giving back to the next generation as a music teacher.

He had intense brown eyes that could pierce through you, or warm your heart, and could see the inner worth of people. He had an intuitive gift to see people’s illness or maladies or stress, and with advice or touch of his hands could help people recover, and never lost this ability.

He loved to compliment people and would uplift and inspire others with his affirming words of life. He was washed in the blood of Christ and prayed daily for others. John was loyal to his family and called almost every day.

John was a man of many talents. Residents could rely on him to hu-manely capture a bat in their home us-ing his butterfly net, or he could walk up to a pit bull and tame it at once.

John moved to Albany, Wisconsin where he settled in his true home, that he loved. He was a survivor, and un-compromising in his values and beliefs.

John is survived by his daughter Anoki Hedburg New York N.Y., moth-er Arlene Payne, brothers Jimmy and Anthony, and sisters Dr. Margaret Payne and Carrie, nieces and nephews, and his faithful Blue Heeler, Bella. He is also survived by the many whose hearts have been etched as only he could do. John was preceded in death by his stepfather Irving “Precious” in 2016.

Services will be held in Chicago, Ill., at a later date.

Condolences can be sent to Arlene Payne, 8142 LaSalle Ave., Chicago IL 60620.
