In an effort to showcase the
area and what local businesses

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.

No. 179-Pepin County Code of

Pepin County Sheriff retiring after nearly 28 years of service
Pepin County Sheriff John Andrews will not be seeking re-election in November, as he is taking the
opportunity for a career change. Andrews took the position in January 1987. His law enforcement

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.

service on the school board. 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.

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.

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
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

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. Submitted Photo

CAPITOL REPORT
Assumption Catholic School second grade students show their
winning entries in Post 181s Annual Coloring Contest along
with Post members Leigh Hagness, Dean Mock and Paul Fedie.
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.

My Angel up in Heaven
I wanted you to know
I feel you watching over me
Everywhere I go.
I wish you were with me
But that can never be.
Memories of you in my heart
That only I can see.
I hope you understand
That I would give anything
If I could hold your hand
Id hold it oh so tightly
And never let you go
And all the love inside of me
To you I would show.
For now we are apart
Youll always live inside of me.
Deep within my heart.
Love and miss you so much.

The Pepin Public Library is
the place to be this spring. We
are nishing our spring story
time for children ages 3 years old
and younger. Each Wednesday in
April at 9:15 a.m. we sing, dance,
do nger plays and of course
read books. This 25 minute sto-
ry time is just right for the little
ones in your family. Each child
that attends will also receive a
free book bag made by the Wom-
en of Immanuel Lutheran Church
in Pepin. They also may choose
a Forever Book to take home
in the book bag. Forever Books
were purchased with donations
from local business, groups and
individuals. Many small children
are already walking around the
area with a brand new book bag
and book to call their own.
The Home School Group will
continue to meet on Wednesday
mornings at 10 a.m. on April
30, May 14, and May 28. Any-
one who is involved in homes-
chooling is welcome to come for
sharing projects and ideas. This
group is open to children of all
ages. We also include an activity
for the children to do. The April
30 session will include making a
lava lamp from oil and water
and alka-selzer. We meet for ap-
proximately one hour.
The Culvers Coloring Con-
test will nish on April 30. All
children ages 11 and younger are
encouraged to pick up a coloring
sheet, draw a picture of their fa-
vorite story or book, return it to
the library to be placed on dis-
play and then receive a coupon
for a free Culvers Cone. Names
of the artists returning pictures
will be placed into a random
drawing and two lucky winners
will then also receive a coupon
for a free Culvers Kids Meal.
We continue to show movies
each month on the second Thurs-
day and third Saturday of each
month. Each of these movies is
recently released to DVD fea-
ture lms. The Thursday evening
movie is held at 7:30 p.m. and is
for the grown-ups in the commu-
nity. The Saturday matinee starts
at 1:00 p.m. and is a family/kid
friendly movie. Watch for yers
that will tell you what we are
showing each month, how long
the movie runs and the rating.
Coming in May we will be
scheduling a program on clean-
ing your computer, what to look
for before opening email attach-
ments or clicking on links. Lots
of computer viruses can be avoid-
ed if you know what to watch out
for. Well also talk about what to
do if your computer is running
Windows XP.
We also realize that spring is
the time to clean out your nooks
and crannies. We want everyone
to be aware that while the li-
brary is pleased to accept dona-
tions of gently used books, there
are just some things we cannot
use. Please no medical or travel
books published before 2010. No
text books of any kind. No dusty,
dirty or smelly books. 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. Like us on Facebook to keep
up with the many programs and
services we provide. Watch for
yers around the village. Call us

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,

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.

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.

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.

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

Panther softball improves to 5-1 on season after loss, two victories
The Panthers three-game win-
ning streak came to a screeching
halt on Tuesday, April 15, when
they lost to the 2013 state run-
ners-up Baldwin-Woodville 7-0.
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.

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

Friday, April 25, 2014 marks
Arbor Day in Wisconsin. This
tree-planting holiday is observed
on the last Friday of April. 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-

Monday started out with
Christian Fellowship. 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-

opportunity to have as a guest
speaker earlier this spring.

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.

Pepin County
Health Department
Tips for coping with wet basements and oods
of mold and mildew after ood-
ing and water seepage into base-
ments.
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.

ood-related issues, see http://

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.

25 YEARS AGO
Durand Junior High students
now enter the hallowed halls
through their door which appro-
priately says Junior High! 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. The award is
presented to an outstanding se-
nior agriculture student demon-
strating superior scholarship,
leadership and supervised agri-
culture program.

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.

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
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.
seconded by Mr. Weisenbeck to
increase the student registration
fee by $5. Motion carried by a
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
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
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

Amendments

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.

hiring Mr. Evans as a science
teacher; he is doing a fabulous

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. Stat. 66.0404. Based on the new Wisconsin
law, Pepin County removed existing design, environmental standards, aesthetics,
height, and location requirements from its previous ordinance. An application is
required to establish new telecommunication towers, antennas, and related facilities
within Pepin County. Existing towers, antennas and related facilities require that a
land use permit be obtained before they are modied or enhanced.
The full text of the ordinance may be viewed at the Pepin County Clerk Ofce, in the
Land Management Department, or online by clicking on the ordinance link on Pepin
Countys home page.

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.
