Richland County Communities


Richland County History

Richland County was established in 1842 when it became part of the Wisconsin Terri-tory. It was set to its current boundaries 8 years later when it was separated from Iowa County. The first European settler in the county was John Coumbe in 1834 and others arrived soon after to stake land claims. Homes were established and Hardin Moore founded the first blacksmith shop in Richland County in 1841. A wagon road was built in 1845, attracting new residents. Mills, general stores, churches, schools and hotels were constructed and the area began to grow. Richland County was then organized and Richland Center was selected as the county seat. Lumbering and farming led early industry and the area’s population reached 1,000 by 1850. Richland County is home to Frank Lloyd Wright, an American architect, who designed a few of the more famous buildings in the area. Today Richland County is home to approximately 17,848 residents.

Lafayette County HistoryBARNEVELDOn June 8, 1984, Barneveld was victim of an F5 tornado. F5 is the highest rating on the Fujita scale, which judges ratings based on the damage tornadoes inflict on man-made structures and vegetation. This 0.4 mile wide tornado struck at 12:41 am and caused $25 million of damage to the town and $40 million to the surrounding area. 170 of 225 commercial, agricultural and residential buildings were destroyed as a result. 200 of the 584 residents were injured, and sadly, nine people were killed by the storm. In addition to the intense power of the tornado, this storm was also one of the brightest displays of lightning in recorded history with 200 strikes per minute. The rebuilding effort was started immediately after the storm, and now the population is more than double that at the time of the storm with roughly 1,231 residents.

DODGEVILLE (COUNTY SEAT)Dodgeville was named in honor of Henry Dodge, a miner who developed a pact with local Winnebago Indians to allow settlement in the area and was the first Governor of Wisconsin. Early settlers were miners and were attracted to the area because of jobs and the hopes of striking it big. Dodgeville became a village in the 1840s and soon after became the county seat of Iowa County. Populations dropped after the decline of the mining industry. Eventually agriculture took over as the most prosperous industry in Dodgeville. Currently Dodgeville is home to Wisconsin’s oldest courthouse. Today Dodgeville is home to approximately 4,975 residents.

MINERAL POINTFirst settlement in the area began in 1827. Mineral Point played host for the inauguration of Henry Dodge, the first Governor of the Wisconsin Territory. Mineral Point was a well established mining center in the early 1800s and served as the county seat of Iowa county until 1861, when Dodgeville took its place. Populations increased with the arrival of railroads and industry. At one point in the early 1830s, Mineral Point had a larger population than Milwaukee and Chicago combined. Populations slowed with the California gold rush as miners left to look for gold. Today Mineral Point is home to approximately 2,462 residents.

MUSCODAMuscoda was originally named English Prairie after the similarities between the land in the area and the English countryside. Muscoda was incorporated in 1894 and early settlers were attracted to lead deposits in the area. Muscoda was a major port for the mining industry in the late 1800s. Populations increased with the introduction of railroads to the area and industry and business steadily grew. Today Muscoda is home to approximately 1,352 residents.

Iowa County Communities


Iowa County History

Once part of Michigan Territory, Iowa County was established in 1839. The county was named after the Iowa Indian tribe that had inhabited the land and the name Iowa means, “sleepy ones.” Mineral Point was first selected as the county seat until it was later moved to Dodgeville in 1861. The first settlers arrived to mine the abundant lead deposits and the area was once recognized for providing at least 75 percent of the nation’s lead. Fertile soil, ample natural resources and abundant water power attracted new residents and by 1900 the popu-lation of Richland County had reached 19,483. Today Iowa County is home to approximately 23,498 residents.

Summer Energy Saving Techniques

Conduct an energy assessment to find out where you can save the most. This will allow you to see where the biggest problem areas are.

Windows• Close curtains during the day to block sunlight and open them at night.• Plant trees, shrubs, or vines to help shade your home.• Apply solar window film to windows.

Adjust Your Thermostat• When you’re home and awake, set your thermostat at the highest comfortable temperature. • When you’re out of the house, turn your thermostat up . You can save 1-3 percent per degree, for each degree the thermostat is set above 72 degrees, depending on the outside temperature.• You can set a programmable thermostat to keep the temperature where you want day and night.

Maintain Your Cooling Systems• Schedule service for your cooling system.• Do regular maintenance to keep your cooling system operating efficiently.

Fans and Vents• Keep inside air vents clear from furniture and other objects. • Run energy efficient ceiling and whole-house fans to circulate the air.• Use the bathroom vent to remove the heat and humidity after showering.

Appliances and Electronics • Try not to use the oven on hot days. Cook on the stove top, microwave, or grill outside.• Keep your fridge and freezer full. The refrigerator will run less often.• Air dry dishes in the dish washer.• Wash laundry with cold water and air dry.• Unplug electronics when not in use.

Lighting• Use light emitting diodes “LED’s”. They use less energy and have a longer life span, plus they produce less heat than incandescent and CFL bulbs.

Snowmobile Hand Signals

Bicycle Hand SignalsRecreational Safety


Read theowner’s manualand know your vehicle thoroughly. • Check your vehicle before you ride. • Wear protective equipment and clothing. • Don’t lend your vehicle to unskilled riders. • Supervise young or inexperienced riders. • Never carry a passenger on vehicles meant for one rider. • Do not operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Drive at speeds that are appropriate to trail conditions. • Stay to the right on trails. • Stay away from thin ice, open water and wetlands • Know the weather forecast. • Make sure headlights and taillights work properly. • Maintain safe distances between other riders. • Re-duce your speed when riding at night. • Yield to other motor vehicles and trail users. • Young or beginning riders are encouraged to take a safety training course.

KnowYourATV


ATV Safety

• Always wear a properly fitting bike helmet as most serious injuries are to the head. • Be sure your handlebars, seat and wheels fit snugly. • Keep your bike in good shape by checking and oiling your chain, making sure your brakes work properly and maintaining your tire pressure. • Always ride with both hands on the handlebars except when do-ing turn signals. • When leaving a driveway, curb or alleyway always stop and check for traffic in both directions. • Cross only at in-tersections. • Use the crosswalk to walk your bike across busy intersections and follow the traffic signals. • Never ride against traf-fic. Travel in the same direction as the cars. • Whenever you can, use bike routes and avoid busy streets. • Don’t ride near parked cars as doors can open and cause accidents. • Obey all traffic signs and traffic lights. • When biking with friends, ride in a single file. • Always pass other bikers or pedestrians on the left and say “On your left!” to make your presence known. • Always use bicycle hand signals to alert traf-fic of your changing direction.

BeCautiousof OtherBikers

Drink lots of Water!


Bicycle Safety

• Do not consume alcohol or take drugs prior to or during your snowmobile trip. Doing so increases your chances of injury or death.• Slow down and don’t cut to the inside of the trail corners. It’s dangerous and il-legal. • If you snowmobile at night, don’t override your lights. • Always use the buddy system. Never ride off alone. • Drowning is one of the causes of many snow-mobile fatalities. Whenever possible, avoid the ice. • Wear sensible, protective clothing designed for oper-ating a snowmobile. • Use a full size helmet, goggles, or visor to prevent injuries from twigs, stones, ice chips and other debris. • Avoid wearing long scarves. They may get caught in moving parts of the snowmo-bile. • Know the terrain you are going to ride. If un-familiar to you, ask someone who has traveled over it before. • Know the weather forecast, especially the ice and snow conditions. • Be sure your snowmobile is in top-notch mechanical condition throughout the months of use. • Familiarize yourself with the snow-mobile you are driving. Thoroughly read the manual that accompanies the snowmobile. • Do not pursue domestic or wild animals. That is not the conduct of a sportsman. Report such violations to the nearest law enforcement officer.

SlowDown!Snowmobilingis fun. Going to the hospital isn’t.

Please respect private property and no trespassing signs. Stay on trails.Exercise extreme caution on all lakes and streams. Obey

all state and local laws and ordinances. Do not operate snowmobiles/ATV’s on county roads or state highways.

Don’t like all the dirt in your fingernails while you work in the garden? Before you go out, run your fingernails across a bar of

soap and you’ll effectively seal the undersides of your nails so dirt cannot accumulate. Then, after you are all done gardening, use a toothpick or nailbrush to remove the soap and your nails will be sparkling clean.

Spray vegetable oil on your string trimmer to help prevent jamming or breaking (Treat before installing string in trimmer).


Make a convenient measuring tool out of a long handled garden tool by laying it on the ground next to a tape measure. Use a permanent marker to copy the inches and feet. Next time you are spacing plants you already have a dual-purpose measur-ing tool in your hand!

Write the names of your plants (With a permanent marker) on the flat parts of stones of any size and lay them in front of your plants for natural looking markers.

The next time you boil or steam vegetables, use the leftover water to water potted patio plants, and you’ll be suprised at how the plants grow with “vege-soup.”

You can use leftover tea and coffee grounds to help acidify the soil of acid-loving plants like azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias, gardenias and blueberries. A light sprinkle of about 1/4 of an inch applied once a month will help keep the pH of the soil on the acidic side.

You can use chamomile tea to control damping-off fungus, which often attacks young seedlings quite suddenly. Just add some tea to the soil around the soil of seedlings once a week for healthy plant.

Here is a really quick way to dry out your herbs: Just lay a sheet of newspaper on the seat of your car, arrange the herbs in a single layer, then roll up the windows and shut the car doors. Your herbs will be dry in no time!

Use your blender to grind up egg shells. Just like a mother bird chews up worms for the baby birds making the food easier to digest, grinding eggshells makes it easy for your garden to absorb the calcium egg shells retain.

Animals (cats especially) seem to think all of the hard work you’ve put into your garden looks like a huge litter box. To keep them from pooping on your basil and other plants, strategically place a few plastic forks around your plants to deter them from destroying your fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables.



Safety TipsPARENTS:• Teach your kids that an emergency is when you need help from a doctor, a police officer or a firefighter.

• Designate a safe place by your house that a child can go to if they need help right away.

• Have your kids memorize your address and phone numbers. They should also know your full name and where you work.

KIDS:FIRE SAFETY• If you or someone else is on fire - remember to STOP, DROP and ROLL. Wrap a blanket on the person to help put out the fire.

• If there is a fire, leave the house as fast as you can! Crawl on the floor to avoid smoke and if the door is hot, don’t open it - find another way out.

• Learn all the fire exits in your house. Assign a safe place outside for everyone to meet in case of a fire emergency.

HOME ALONE• Never tell anyone that you are home alone.

• If someone calls and asks for your mom and dad, tell them “They cannot come to the phone right now, can you please call back later?”

• Do not answer the door, unless it is someone that you know your parents have okay‘d them to come over.


FIRST AID FOR INSECT BITES/ANAPHYLAXIS & POISON SAFETYINSECT BITES/ANAPHYLAXISAnaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction from insect bites (latex, food and drug aller-gies can also cause Anaphylaxis). Typical symptoms include hives, the swelling of lips or eyes, swollen throat, drop in blood pressure, light headedness, confusion, nausea or diarrhea. If someone is having an allergic reaction from an insect bite seek medical attention immediately.

POISON PREVENTIONTeach your children about poison and how it can look like a food or drink. They should always ask an adult before eating or drinking anything. Have them learn the

poison control phone number: 1-800-222-1222 and keep it programmed or posted near all your phones. Here are some prevention tips.

Lock up your poisons and medications. Keep them out of the reach of children, lock them up if possible. Make sure your children understand that medicine is not candy.

Follow directions carefully. Read your labels. Be sure to use and store all poisons and medications properly according to recommendations.

Keep your pets safe from household chemicals, too. Don’t allow pets near areas that have just been cleaned with chemicals, such as freshly mopped floors or bleached bathtubs and sinks. Clean up any anti-freeze/coolant spills. Pets like the flavor but they can die if they ingest it. Store poisonous foods or plants in areas that your pets cannot access. Call your local emergency veterinary hospital if you believe your pet has been poisoned.


Safety TipsFIRST AID FOR BURNS & CHOKING

BURNSFor minor 1st and 2nd degree burns smaller than 3” in diameter: Cool the Burn. Run cool water over the burned area for 5 minutes, or until the pain diminishes. Never put ice on a burn!

Bandage the burn with sterile gauze: It is important to use loosely wrapped gauze. This will avoid pressure and the bandage pro-tects blisters. NEVER put lotions, vaseline, ointments or butter on burn. Do not break any blis-ters, which can cause infection.

Take Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen or Acetaminophen to relieve pain: Minor burns usually heal with these basic treatments. Be aware for signs of infection which may include: increased pain, redness, fever, swelling or oozing. If symptoms develop, seek medical help. Avoid tanning the burned area for at least a year. Protect the area with sun-screen outdoors. Avoid giving aspirin to children.

For 3rd degree burns/all major burns - DIAL 911DO NOT run cold water over large severe burns - this can cause shock.DO NOT remove burnt clothing.Check for signs of breathing/coughing/movement.If there are no signs of breathing begin CPR.Elevate burned areas above heart level, if possible.Cover the burn(s) with cool, sterile, moist bandages, towels or cloth.

CHOKINGMost people clutch at their throats when choking, an obvious symbol for help. However, if a person isn’t giving that signal, be alert for these indications. Inability to talk, difficulty breath-ing or noisy breathing, inability to cough forcefully, skin/lips/nails turning blue, loss of con-sciousness.

The Red Cross recommends a “five-and-five” method for first aid: First give five blows between the person’s shoulders with the heel of your hand. Second, perform the Heimlich maneuver

(abdominal thrusts) five times. Alternate between five back blows and five abdominal thrusts until the blockage is dislodged.

IN AN EMERGENCY, DIAL 911
