Delavan’s Lake Lawn Resort to host big-band weekend Lake Lawn Resort will host an evening of food, dancing and vintage tunes during its Swing into Spring Big Band Dance on March 22. The event will include a live performance by In the Mood, a sit-down dinner and an open dance floor. After hosting Lawrence Welk and other entertainers in the 1940s and ‘50s, Lake Lawn revived its big-band tradition last year with its first big-band weekend. “After such a long and harsh winter, we’re happy to mark the official start of spring with our Swing into Spring

Big Band Dance,” said Dave Sekeres, general manager at Lake Lawn Resort. “Just like previous celebrations, we’ll have live music, dancing and great food to shake off those winter blues.” Swing into Spring will be led by In The Mood, a 16-piece ensemble performing original arrangements based on popu-lar 1940s classics. Specializing in danceable swing music of the era, In the Mood is known for its interpretations of hits by legends like Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller. The evening starts with a

cash bar at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m. The menu in-cludes a choice between chick-en scaloppini with rainbow couscous or roasted pork loin with white cheddar mashed potatoes. Beginning at 7:30 p.m., In The Mood will provide back-ground music while attendees dine. After dinner, there will be dancing until 11 p.m. Tickets are included in overnight hotel packages or are available for $60 per person. For more information or to make a reservation, call 800-338-5253 or visit LakeLawn-Resort.com.

“My goal is a healthy horse,” stated Jeannie Wright, Wright Hoof Care, at a recent seminar on barefoot hoof care sponsored by Southern Kettle Moraine Horse Trail Associ-ation. Wright, who has been trimming horses since 2007, reviewed the features of a healthy, functional hoof, which include a well-devel-oped frog; concavity; a thick, smooth hoof wall, and good lamellar attachment. Hoof flexion is important as a horse steps, Wright said, explaining that flexion drives blood flow to the hoof and absorbs concussion, which is difficult to achieve with met-al shoes on the hoof. “Barefoot does not mean just a hoof without a shoe,” she continued. “A good bare-foot trim promotes blood flow to provide cushioning; concavity and quarter relief

for flexion and contraction; and allows the sole, frog and hoof wall to play their parts in properly supporting the horse.” Proper nutrition and envi-ronment also play a role in a healthy hoof. Wright recom-mended a low-starch diet, exercise, trimming and prop-er terrain to help callusing and acclimating hooves as important in coaxing out the best hoof in a horse. She also noted that hoof boots are helpful for horses with sore or laminitic feet, when transitioning out of shoes, and when riding or working on different terrain or for a longer than normal period of time. More information on hoof boots is available at www.easycareinc.com and www.wrighthoofcare.com. The next seminar in SK-

MHTA’s winter series will feature Bill Mielke, offering information to help horse owners determine if they are using the correct bit for their discipline, as well as using it correctly, at the March 29 event. Participants are invit-ed to bring their bit, bridle and reins The seminar, open to the public at no charge, is sched-uled from 1:30-3:30 p.m. on April 14 at Department of Natural Resources Headquar-ters, Highway 59, Eagle. The Horse Trail Associ-ation’s monthly meeting is 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 14, in Suhmer’s upstairs din-ing room, Eagle. For more information, call Sue Press at (262) 495-8611. For more information about SKMHTA or upcoming seminars, go to www.skmhta.com

Great Chicago Fire survivor to be portrayed A Lake Geneva woman will portray a survivor of the Great Chicago Fire during a presentation at the Heritage House in Elkhorn at 1:30 p.m. April 5. The Walworth County Historical Society will pres-ent the program in which Chris Brookes will portray Mary Delafield Sturgis. Tickets are available at the door for $5. Sturges was a survivor of the Great Chicago Fire, devoted wife and mother, philanthropist and advocate for women. This first-person portray-al will take spectators back to the turn of the 20th cen-tury as Sturgis recalls fami-ly anecdotes, describes life among Chicago’s elite, and

reminisces about the fire, and the World Columbian Expo-sition. Brookes, a Lake Geneva native, performs one-wom-an, researched-based shows for schools, clubs, organi-zations, libraries and senior centers. She owns more costumes than clothes to bring history and literature to life for her re-creations of literary and historical figures from time periods including the Dark Ages, the Renaissance, Vic-torian times, and the 1860s to the 1960s. She has performed as Lady Bacon at the Bristol Renaissance Faire and has played characters with sever-al community theater compa-nies. She is a retired teacher

of literature and social stud-ies at Lake Geneva Middle School. Brookes serves on the Lake Geneva Public Library Board of Trustees and is sec-retary of the Friends of the Lake Geneva Public Liibrary. S he teaches for Road Schol-ar and Cardinal Stritch Uni-versity and is a member of the Wisconsin Humanities Council and Department of Public Instruction Speakers Bureaus, Northlands Story-telling Network, American Association of University Women, Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Walworth County Gene-alogical Society.

Aurora named by Truven as one of nation’s Top 100By Jennifer EisenbartStaff writer A little extra positive rec-ognition came at a great time for Aurora Health Care last week. Aurora Memorial Hospital of Burlington was recognized by Truven Health Analytics Friday as one of the nation’s “Top 100.” The award – given to 20 hospitals in each of five cate-gories – is based on a national scorecard, which measures hospital performance across 10 areas. Those areas include mor-tality, inpatient complications, patient safety, average patient stay, expenses, profitability,

patient satisfaction, adher-ence to clinical standards of care and post-discharge mo-raility and readmission rates for heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia. The study has been con-ducted annual since 1993. Au-rora had two hospitals make the list this year, the other being Aurora Sheboygan Me-morial Medical Center. “I think it is a big deal,” explained Lisa Just, President of the Burlington/Walworth market. “Any time that you have a leading provider – Truven being an analytical organization … to have that recognition of achieving that is a big deal.”

Aurora Communications Specialist Adam Beeson said that about 5,800 hospitals na-tionally are studied by Truven. Just said the award gives Aurora a chance to show why it should be considered an as-set in a community it aims to remain active in. Aurora just announced earlier this year that it is committing $100 million to the area to address renovation and expansion of current facilities, a physician recruitment program, as well as putting in an ambulatory surgery center just outside of Burlington. The company is currently in a six-month due diligence phase to complete the pur-

chase of the property for that center. “As we have remained committed to maintaining the hospital here in Burlington and adding those ambulato-ry services just outside the Burlington area, it just gives us the opportunity to provide that quality care that Truven recognizes,” Just said. Other Wisconsin hospitals that made the top 100 in other categories were: Froedtert and the Medical College of Wis-consin (major teaching hos-pitals), Aspirus Wausau Hos-pital (teaching hospital) and Ministry St. Clare’s Hospital in Weston, also in the small community hospital category.

Since arriving, Just has found a new home. “The people are awesome,” she said. “Our caregivers are truly driven to give compas-sionate care. “I’m just amazed at how entrenched they are at putting our patients first,” she added. “I’ve been very impressed with the caliber of specialties and subspecialties we have.” She also said that commu-nity leaders are playing a huge part in remaining involved. Part of that, right now, is figuring out just what the next six months will bring. The health care company is currently in a due-diligence

phase with the possible land purchase for the ambulatory surgery center, and is trying to get all questions answered as it moves forward. “I say that the answers are really needing to be looked at, and come from our providers and our caregivers,” Just ex-plained about the process. “I can’t provide the answers. We need to provide (providers and caregivers) with the time to come together and look at each of the possibilities and determine what’s best for our patients and how they can best provide that care to our patients. “That takes time.”

inSOCIETY/go&DOBIRTHS

It is said that old habits die hard. Iguess it’s true with me and sendingChristmas cards.

I have always loved to send greetingsto family and friends, and still do. MyChristmas card list consists of the bundle ofcards kept from the previous Christmas.

I always save the photos that accom-pany them from year to year and it’s inter-esting to see how the children in the pho-tos have grown and changed. So I get“double the pleasure” looking at them allagain.

Sadly, it seems each year I remembersomeone who is no longer here. I havemissed seeing my friend Carole’s beauti-ful handwriting and the warm messageshe used to include. (And then I thinkabout the wonderful Christmas she, andGreg, and Rosalie, and others are enjoy-ing, and the sadness fades.)

This year’s card project will be easy,since I am taking the lazy route, usingmany of the labels still in my computerfrom Dusty’s graduation list. (I knowEmily Post would shake her head in dis-

approval. Should be hand written.)One perk of old age is, it’s no longer

necessary (or even possible) to worryabout approval from others. Comfortable,though.

* * * * * *The first Sunday in Advent seemed to

come sooner than usual. Maybe it’s all inmy head? I hope to stay calm and practicewhat I preach in the following poem.

BE STILL….AND KNOWThe Christmas rush is upon us now,Thanksgiving Day is past.

the “Big Day” soon is drawing near,the time goes by so fast!

Oh dear, we need to “do” so much,to be ready before it’s too late.But the Advent days that have just

begunare saying, instead to “Wait.”

To wait in wonder, for Jesus’ birth;the Savior of everyone.Let’s light a candle each day ‘til then,for the coming of the “Son”!

We’ll bake our cookies and plan ourgifts,

we’ll laugh and enjoy each day.We’ll kiss our children and let them

knowthat we still will take time to play.

Let’s pause in this hectic commercialtime

to look past the glitter and glow,to see Jesus the Babe in the manger,from whom all blessings flow!

Grimm has role inplay showcasingGershwin’s works

Park Square brings a bigsplash of Ira Gershwin to theholiday entertainment seasonwith “Words by Ira Gershwinand the Great AmericanSongbook” on stage nowthrough Sunday, Dec. 29.

Ellsworth native JenniferGrimm portrays the Chanteuse.

This new work by JosephVass is a song-filled reminis-cence exploring the creativelife and unforgettable lyrics ofGershwin. Vass’ “The Soul ofGershwin”—about the life andmusical influences of his broth-er, George Gershwin—setattendance records in 2011 andearned Vass an Ivey Award forexceptional music direction.

This play with music (lotsof music!) is about the creativeprocess.

“Ira Gershwin could write

glibly or wittily or movinglywhen called on,” said Vass.“But sung to his brother’smusic, even Ira Gershwin’smost outwardly conversationalsong lyrics can hit with theimpact of poetry.”

In addition to beloved songsthat were brotherly collabora-tions of Ira’s lyrics and George’smusic are wonderful songs thatIra wrote with composersHarold Arlen, Vernon Duke,Jerome Kern and Kurt Weill.

“Audiences will fall in lovewith the quiet character that isIra Gershwin,” said ArtisticDirector Richard Cook.“Especially as played by Joe’sfirst choices for the roles.”

The play was originallyproduced at North CoastRepertory Theatre, SolanaBeach, Calif., with David

Ellenstein as artistic director.Performances continue

through Dec. 29. Show timesare 7:30 p.m., exceptfor Sunday performances,which begin at 2 p.m.Saturday shows offer both a 2p.m. matinee and 7:30p.m. evening performance. Allperformances are in the com-pany’s intimate 348-seat the-

ater in Saint Paul’s historicHamm Building, 20 W.Seventh Pl.

Tickets are on sale at thePark Square box office, 20 W.Seventh Pl., or byphone: 651.291.7005, (noon-5p.m. Monday through Friday),or online at www.park-squaretheatre.org.

Food drives hostedby credit union

P R E S C O T T —WESTconsin Credit Unionoffices are collecting non-per-ishable food products, blanketsand cash donations for thoseless fortunate from now untilWednesday, Dec. 18.

Items can be dropped off atany of the credit union’s loca-tions, including Prescott andSpring Valley. Allproceeds will be delivered bythe credit union to local foodpantries for distribution.

Monetary donations areespecially valuable because for

every $1 in cash, food pantriescan purchase up to $10 worthof food. The number of fami-lies in need has increased sub-stantially in recent years, leav-ing food shelves less stockedthan in the past. According tothe 2000 U.S. Census, 39,714people in the 14 counties ofWest Central Wisconsin live inpoverty, with 60 percent ofthem being children or elderly.

Blankets are especiallyneeded this year and will alsobe collected and donated to theSpring Valley Food Pantry.

Help PCHA solve a mystery

The Pierce CountyHistorical Association (PCHA)has something of a mystery (oris it lost information?) to solve.

In 1898, a “small war”occurred—the Spanish-American War. It is known thata few good men—how manyseems to be the problem—fromPierce County served in thatwar.

The issue is who were they?Were there any casualties?

The residents of PierceCounty are being asked

because any concrete records ofsaid service are hard, if notimpossible, or very time-con-suming to find.

Hence, the PCHA is askingdescendants of those who mayhave served to be of assistance.

Please, if a member of thefamily was in the military dur-ing that war, send their namesand branch of service to thePCHA. Mail the informationto: PCHA, P.O. Box 148,Ellsworth, WI 54011.

Donors invited to give bloodin Ellsworth January 13

January is National BloodDonor Month, and theAmerican Red Cross invitesthose who are eligible to jointhe millions of blood donorsacross the country in helpingensure a stable blood supplyfor patients in need.

On Jan. 13, 2014, fromnoon-6 p.m., the Red Cross

Bloodmobile will be at ZionCovenant Church, 210 N.Beulah St., Ellsworth.

People have many differ-ent reasons for donatingblood. Jill Long’s is her latehusband, Bill, who died fromesophageal cancer. After hisstage 4 diagnosis, he was ableto survive for three more

years, thanks in part to theblood transfusions hereceived. Long said shebelieves “the gift of time” iswhat blood donors reallygive.

“It took me only a fewminutes to donate my blood,while he spent all day receiv-ing someone else’s—just sothat he could keep fighting tostay alive,” she said.

They were both gratefulfor that opportunity to fight,Long said. Now, as a blooddonor, she said she feels likeshe can help other families insimilar situations “battle tostay together as long as possi-ble.”

January can be a difficultmonth to collect donationsdue to inclement weather andseasonal illnesses. The RedCross encourages eligibledonors to make an appoint-ment to give during NationalBlood Donor Month by visit-ing redcrossblood.org or call-ing 1-800-RED CROSS.

2013Get Ready to Hunt

The Wildlife Damage DeerDonation program will be con-tinuing Wisconsin’s autumntradition. Since the programbegan in 2000, hunters havedonated over 83,000 deerwhich were processed intoover 3.7 million pounds ofground venison.

Wisconsin has a network ofvenison donation effortsincluding: Hunt for theHungry, which operates in theGreen Bay area; TargetHunger, which handles dona-tions from the ChronicWasting Disease ManagementZone; and the Wisconsin DeerDonation Program, which cov-ers all remaining areas of thestate. USDA - WildlifeServices staff also help admin-ister the programs in 49 coun-ties.

Hunters, you can help feedneedy people throughoutWisconsin this fall by taking 5simple steps.

1).Donate any legally har-vested deer taken outside theCWD management zone bydropping it off at a participat-ing processor by Saturday,February 1, 2014. Deer takenoutside the CWD zone are reg-istered with a silver metal tag,and only deer with silver tagsmay be donated to theseprocessors. Deer taken withinthe CWD management zoneare registered with a red metaltag and must be brought to aparticipating processor withinthe CWD management zone tobe donated.

In Pierce County, partici-pating processors are PierceCounty Meats (715) 273-4741460 E Wall St, in EastEllsworth and Ptacek’s IGA(715) 262-5636 1449 OrrinRd, Prescott.

2). Field dress the deer andregister it at a Wisconsin DNRregistration station prior todonating the deer.

3). Contact one of the par-ticipating processors beforedropping the deer off to verifythe processor has space to

accept your deer. Some coun-ties with metro deer manage-ment units may be acceptingdeer until the end of the metrounit hunts. Check locally witha participating processor.

4). Donate the entire deer toreceive the processing for free.(Head and/or antlers may beremoved for mounting.) Pleasehandle the carcass as if it weredestined for your own table. Acouple bags of ice placed inthe cavity will help preservethe carcass in warm weather.

5). When dropping yourdeer off at a processor, pleasesign the simple log sheet indi-cating your desire to donatethe deer. We’ll do the rest. Thedonated deer will be processedand the venison will be distrib-uted to charitable organiza-tions to help feed Wisconsin’sneedy.

Hunters should also consid-er switching to non-toxicammunition as even a verysmall amount of lead in a deercarcass is toxic to humans andwildlife Page 22 of the DeerHunting Regulations bookletlists recommendations toreduce the risk of lead in veni-son and also lists links onwhere to find copper bulletsand non-toxic ammunition forhunting.

Dave Matheys,Department of NaturalResources, 2013 StateHunting Forecast

Despite a late winter, colddamp spring and scatteredwinter mortality in several ofthe 19 counties that make upthe west central district(including Pierce County),deer numbers across theregion are doing well.

Most wildlife biologistsbelieve that overall deer num-bers should be on par with lastyear if not higher.

Of the district’s 30 deermanagement units, 22 havedeer populations that exceedoverwinter goals and thesewill have a herd controlframework to help huntersmanage deer in their units.The remaining eight unitshave deer populations closerto their overwinter goals andwill have a regular seasonframework, meaning thathunters need to purchase a tagfor their specific unit in orderto be able to harvest an antler-less deer.

Jess Carstens, wildlifebiologist for Dunn and PepinCounties, said that with the2013 gun deer season occur-ring late in November, deeractivity will likely be differentthan during last year’s earlierseason. Deer should be plenti-ful in these two counties.

Black River Falls wildlifesupervisor Tim Babros saiddeer are abundant in Buffaloand Trempealeau counties.Many twin fawns are beingreported even though the areaexperienced a prolonged win-ter and late spring. Deer num-bers should be excellent forfall hunting seasons. The cen-tral forest deer managementunits ‘ continuing intoMonroe, Juneau and Adamscounties ‘ are experiencingdeer population increaseswhich should be noticeable tohunters. Spring turkeyhunters, bear hunters andother recreationalists reportmany deer observations inthese areas.

Wisconsin Rapids areawildlife supervisor KrisJohansen notes that a fairamount of commercial timberharvesting in deer manage-ment units 55 and 58 maychange the look the landscapeand the movements of deer.The timber harvests shouldprovide significantlyimproved habitat for deer andfor other wildlife species thatdepend on young forests.

Johansen said the DNRwill ask deer hunters to assistwith CWD monitoring inPortage, Juneau and

Adams Counties. This fataldisease of deer and elk wasnewly discovered in thesecounties last fall. In an effortto better understand the dis-ease’s distribution, DNR staffwill be collecting tissue sam-ples from hunter-harvesteddeer throughout the archery

and nine-day gun deer sea-sons. The discovery of CWDin these counties is not alter-ing the deer season structurein any way. More informationon how hunters may donatetissue samples will be forth-coming as the deer seasonapproaches.

Recent law changes haveopened up additional stateparks to deer hunting. CortneySchaefer, wildlife biologist inWausau, said a larger area ofRib Mountain State Park isnow open to deer hunting,with a major portion of thepark designated for archerydeer hunting only. Similarly,Jon Robiadek, wildlife biolo-gist in Adams and JuneauCounties, reminds deerhunters that there have beenrecent changes governingdeer hunting at BuckhornState Park and adjacent

wildlife areas. Deer huntersare encouraged to check withBuckhorn park staff at 608-565-2789 or look onlinebefore hunting the park oradjacent wildlife areas.Information on deer huntingin state parks may be found atdnr.wi.gov, keywords: ‘’hunt-ing state parks’.

Wildlife biologists saiddeer hunters might want tomonitor the progress of localwild foods eaten by deer, suchas acorns, hazelnuts andberries. It appears that linger-ing effects from last year’sdrought, a slow start to thisyear’s growing season andheavy June rainfalls haveaffected many highly soughtafter deer foods. Check yourhunting area often to monitorfood production and subse-quent deer use.

DNR News ServiceMADISON — For hunters

looking to take part in nextspring’s turkey season, findingavailable land can be difficult. Anew Department of NaturalResources program known asthe Turkey Hunting AccessProgram, “THAP,” is aimed atmaking that easier.

“Both landowners andhunters can benefit from thispilot program aimed at opening

new hunting lands for the springturkey season,” said JustinBlindert, DNR turkey huntingaccess coordinator.

THAP provides financialincentives to private landown-ers who open their land to thepublic for spring turkey hunt-ing. .

Priority will be given toproperties greater than 40 acreswith at least 50 percent forestcover within zone 2 only. Land

directly adjacent to public land,or land enrolled in the VoluntaryPublic Access Program, is noteligible. Land enrolled in otherconservation programs such asConservation Reserve Program,Wetland Reserve Program, orManaged Forest Law may beeligible for enrollment.

Spring turkey hunting, is theonly activity allowed on THAPproperties. Lands will be openfor public use from March 1through May 29 for legal springturkey hunting and scouting.Turkey stamp funds are used toimplement this programthrough 2014-2015

For more information, con-tact your local DNR wildlifebiologist or call Turkey HuntingAccess Program CoordinatorJustin Blindert at 262 -224-9884.

By Steve Dzubay, River Falls Journal

Warden Brad Peterson sayshe’s been getting calls fromPierce County sportsmen daily,wanting to verify whether theycan swap their shotguns forrifles this year.

It is true, said Peterson.During one of its sessions thispast summer, the WisconsinLegislature approved a provi-sion expanding use of rifles toall 72 Wisconsin counties afterNov. 1.

Although hunters have longbeen allowed to use high-pow-ered rifles for coyote huntingand .22 rimfire rifles for smallgame, Peterson said it will rep-resent a major change for thenine-day gun-deer season, andsubsequent 10-day muzzle-loader season and four-dayantlerless hunt.

“Ultimately, it all comesdown to each hunter beingaware of the four safety rules(especially), ‘knowing your tar-get and beyond,’” said Peterson.

Contrary to popular assump-tion, rifles aren’t necessarilymore dangerous than the slug-equipped shotguns area huntershave used in Pierce for morethan 25 years, he said. The largeshotgun slugs are more prone toricochet than higher-velocityrifled bullets.

Peterson recalled an incident

he investigated onThanksgiving Day some yearsback where a ricocheted slugtraveled 888 yards and penetrat-ed exterior and interior walls ofhouse before lodging in a bath-room vanity. Someone had leftthe room only moments earlierbut no one was injured.

Generally, rifles are moreaccurate than shotguns and “onewell-placed shot” may result infewer shots fired and lesswounded or lost game, saidPeterson.

Rifle-use has been allowedin portions of St. Croix Countyfor many years, said WardenPaul Sickman, who has alsobeen receiving lots of calls fromhunters and landowners seekingverification on the issue.

Many inquiries focus onwhether the rifle rule applies tohunting in the “M” or MetroUnit 60, roughly bounded byHwy. 29 south of River Falls,CTH F and Hwy. 35 in St. CroixCounty. Rifle use will be per-mitted in the Metro zones as

well, said Sickman.Peterson said the law change

wasn’t driven by the perceptionthat rifles are more effective atkilling deer, rather, to simplifyregulations about what type ofweapons are allowed where.

In nearby Pepin and Buffalocounties, for example, rifle usehas long been allowed, but crossa road into Pierce County itbecame shotgun-only.

In St. Croix, Sickman saidrifles had been permitted northof Hwy. 64 and east of Hwy.128 over to Hwy. 70. They’vealso been used for bear and coy-ote hunting for years.

Sickman couldn’t recall anysituations were ricochetingslugs had been an issue but did

investigate an incident where ahunter lost a finger when hisrifle discharged while the indi-vidual was holding his handover the barrel.

Rifle-use could only bebanned in a township if a localordinance has been enacted bytown officials. Neither Petersonnor Sickman are aware of anytowns that have drafted orimplemented such restrictionsand Sickman speculated that“it’s probably too late” to initi-ate for this season.

Sickman encouraged huntersto abide by the “TAB-K” rulestaught in all Hunter Educationclasses today: T = Treat everyfirearm as if it is loaded. A =Always point the muzzle in a

safe direction. B = Be certain ofyour target and what’s beyondit. K = Keep your finger outsidethe trigger guard until ready toshoot.

Shooting ranges at severalarea gun clubs offer hours opento the public to sight-in rifles.

New land owner incentives program for spring turkey hunting

DNR News ServiceMADISON – Hunters who

are able to recruit three newpeople into hunting would beeligible for a half price licensethe following year, under anew Department of NaturalResources program that seeksto encourage active hunters tointroduce new people to hunt-ing.

“Becoming a mentor maytake a year to accomplish.However, it comes with imme-diate – as well as lifetime –rewards,” said Keith Warnke,DNR hunting and shootingsports coordinator.

Warnke says if three newhunters list a mentor as their

“recruiter,” the mentor mayreceive a license of his or herchoice at half-cost the nextlicense year.

Apprentices can purchase afirst-time hunter’s license for$5. The mentor then provideshis or her DNR customer iden-tification number to theapprentices and has them callDNR at 888-936-7463. Theapprentices simply give thementor’s identification numberas the person who recruitedthem.

“If you accumulate threerecruiter points, you receive ahalf-price license for you nextyear,” Warnke says.

“New hunting partners can

become friends for a lifetime,”Warnke said, adding mentorscan suggest the opportunity tofamily members, co-workersand friends. “And it is a greatway to share the state’s huntingheritage.”

Warnke says those who areinterested in hunting but don’tknow how to start also can usethe rewards program. “Ask afriend to take you hunting andexplain this program,” he says.“There are hunters who canhelp you. And now it’s easy toreward them for their time.”

For more information onmentoring hunters, search theDNR website for “mentoredhunting.”

inSOCIETY

My Mom always made good sense,had great faith and always shared it, espe-cially in her writings. She wrote the fol-lowing little article almost 50 years ago,but it is so relevant still today.

When she lived next door to us in hermobile home, she became a friend to eachand every pet we had. This one is about alittle beagle belonging to our son.

POKEYLast week, “Pokey,” the little beagle

pup, was run over. Although he lived, hisinjuries are numerous and painful. Hevoices his discomfort in his out-size bea-gle voice.

This is his fourth brush withdeath. When very small, he was bumpedand battered by a motorcycle. Later, hewas viciously bitten by a huge dog. Stilllater, he was lost in the woods for severalhours, coming home hot and wobblyfrom fatigue.

Each time, he was petted andloved. Each time, we were so happy hesurvived. Each time, we hoped he hadlearned a lesson.

However, when he was back on hisfeet…the road held the same fascina-tion. No amount of scolding made animpression. Even threatening him proveduseless. He seemed bent on self-destruc-

tion…As I petted and comforted the shiver-

ing little creature, it struck me that wehumans are much like Pokey.

Forgetting old hurts in pursuit of ourown pleasures, we ignore God’s warn-ings. Heedless of the consequences, wetake that beckoning road for our own self-gratification.

Over and over, God forgives us, com-forts our hurts.

And no matter how ungrateful weare…how irresponsible we live ourlives…when we come crawling back toHim, God forgives, and loves us always!

* * * * * *Another of Mom’s musings really

spoke to me: She must have been about

my age when she wrote it since some-times we old people, too, feel that ourwords are so very unimportant that theyare not heard.

“I DIDN’T HEAR”Is there anything more baffling than

being told…with a blank stare…”I didn’tknow! You didn’t tell me!”…When youknow full well that you HAVE? Perhapsseveral times.

These are the times when we feel asthough our speech is inaudible, no matterhow busily the tongue wags. Our bit ofnews, or request, may be trivial, but ourdesire to be HEARD is not. Knowing thatour very words are ignored is truly frus-trating and we wonder how we can bebetter heard.

How, then, must God feel when weignore Him and His words?

He speaks to us constantly, not alonein the Bible, but in all of Hiscreations! The earth, the seas, the skies,birds, flowers, all of it, tell of Him! Still,we look blank or say “I didn’t know…you didn’t tell me.”

Lord, remind us to listen when Youspeak, and to respond to Your words.

Don’t let God’s voice be inaudible!* * * * * **

Sleigh’s gift to history groupPRESCOTT—A sleigh in

which Prescott’s Dr. HowardLaney used to make housecalls in Prescott and the sur-rounding area is the latestdonation to the history centeron Main Street.

The Bill Nork family wasthe kind people who donatedthis beautiful artifact.

The sleigh and its use by thehistorical group was a topic ofdiscussion at the June 17Prescott Area Historical

Association (PAHS) meeting.Plans are to feature the sleighon a float in this year’s SundayPrescott Daze Parade. In themeantime, the sleigh is on dis-play at the Welcome andHeritage Center on BroadStreet.

“We are sending out a callto anyone who recalls havingDr. Laney use the sleigh forwinter house calls,” PAHSPresident Dallas Eggers said.“Dr. Laney came to Prescott inthe mid-1930s and was thecommunity doctor for manydecades, and is especiallyremembered for his makinghouse calls.” If anyone hassuch information, they may

call Mary Beeler at 715-262-4722.

The Laney family has beencontacted through Dr. Laney’sdaughter, Trish, a Hastings,Minn., resident. They areinvestigating memories thefamily has of the sleigh andwill get back. A possiblePrescott Daze informationalcontribution is hoped for.

Prescott area residents areurged to join this group, whichbegan in the 1940s. The historygroup has a continual display atthe Welcome and HeritageCenter at the north end ofBroad Street. Stop and visit. Itis next to the beautiful restora-tion of the Prescott School

clock that was saved from the1935 fire. Past PAHS PresidentJerry Voje has poured countlesshours into the repair, mainte-nance and upkeep of the clock,and it faithfully keeps accuratetime. A true work of art.

The PAHS focuses on the175-year history of the com-munity and surrounding area.The goal is to make the PAHSa more visible and contributingpart of the community.

inSOCIETY

On Sunday, the confirmation class atOur Savior’s will re-affirm their bap-tismal vows that were made on theirbehalf so many years ago.

Granddaughter Chloe Jo will be oneof them, and it’s hard to believe so manyyears have passed. I keep these youngpeople in my prayers, especially since Ithink it is a hard age to be. The agesfrom 13 to about 17 are such a transitiontime. They are pretty much wrapped upin themselves and they want to thinkthey are pretty grown up. But they reallyaren’t.

I can remember what it was like forme…..torn between sewing doll clothesand beginning to notice boys.

The extra prayers and support of a

church family helps to keep themgrounded but, even then, often afterconfirmation some feel that their spiri-tual education is finished (some of minetoo) and drift away for a while.

Thankfully not all, but some.Often, when they grow older, marry

and have children of their own, theyreturn because they want that for theirchildren too.

To me, the years of preparation class-es and the rite of confirmation are veryimportant. Even if they do drift away fora time, they carry with them thereminder that they have renewed thepromises made for them on their bap-tism day. They know in their hearts thatthey are children of God and hopefullywill live their lives reflecting that.

God Bless these children, the Pastorsand Amy Matzek, who has been a dedi-cated spiritual influence in their lives.

PLUM CITY—Earlier this month,Plum City High School juniors were invit-ed to participate in the Reality CheckSimulation held in Durand this year.

The program simulates one month of“real life” for a mid-20-year-old. Each stu-dent enters the event with a paycheck basedon their chosen career, sets up a checkingaccount and goes through more than 30 sta-tions which are staffed by adult volunteersfrom area businesses, organizations, agen-cies and many concerned individuals.Students had the challenge of “makingends meet” for one month and must do sosuccessfully before completing the event.

Nanette Murray, Plum City BusinessEducation Teacher, said: “I feel this situa-tion is a huge eye-opener for the studentsand I believe the students get a lot out of theevent. Most of the students enjoyed thesimulation and learned many life skills.”

Murray said a couple of students didn’tlike it and, when asked why, they said itwas too hard, too stressful and they didn’twant to be an adult anytime soon.

Murray said she hopes Plum City con-tinues in the experience. She also com-mended all of the volunteers and the UW-Extension for all of their time and effort putforth in putting this event together.

Here, Delia Labatt was the ‘announcer’ of the prom game, a

spirited contest, complete with referees and coaches, to see

who would make it to the prom.

Liza Hartshorn, Emily Riewestahl and Kathryn Curtin were the “Soft as a Kitty”

The impact of farmequipment onpublic roads has

been the topic of townhall meetings throughoutthe state.

The gist of the ses-sions is to provide de-tailed information on therecommendations of aspecial study group thatreviewed size and weightlimits and other issuesrelated to agriculturalequipment.

While the impact thisequipment has on theintegrity of roads andbridges is important, thesafety of both the motori-ng public and farmerswho share the road is alsoparamount. The fall har-vest is just around thecorner and drivers needto be especially aware ofthese slow-moving vehi-cles traveling the by-ways.

Unfortunately, manydrivers have the attitude

that farmers are roadhogs who pay little atten-tion.

Wisconsin’s fantasticrural road infrastructurewas built for agriculture.I grew up north of De-troit on semi-gravel roadswith no ditches or shoul-ders. I know about rocksbreaking windshields,constant dirt and dustand damaged vehiclealignment.

I also ride a bicycle, soI love our roads. Tax meall you want to keep ourroads up— I’ll pay. I getmymoney’s worth every

time I pull out of mydriveway.

The rural roads arestill there for agriculture,and the rest of us have tobe cognizant of that whenwe drive. We need toexpect the unexpectedwith farm equipment.Slow-moving farm equip-ment is usually involvedin a local operation, mov-ing in and out of un-marked field drivewaysat times without muchwarning. A great deal offarmmachinery towedby tractors lack turnsignals. Many times driv-ers hauling large self-unloading wagons mustmove a little ways intothe left lane to see behindthem before turning left.

I’ve had a lot of clientsinvolved in car vs. tractoraccidents and every onecould have been avoidedif the automobile driverhad been patient orslowed down to the same

speed as the farm imple-ment before deciding topass. I approach farmequipment the same wayI approach road construc-tion areas —with height-ened awareness.

One particular in-cident I recall happenedone fall day during silagechopping. As I passed theWilson farm, I noticedthey were filling silo.After finishing a call at anearby farm, I againdrove past the Wilsonfarm. As I slowed tomake a left hand turn atthe intersection ahead, acar blew through the stopsign heading toward thefarm.

Anger surged throughme. Had I not sloweddown to turn I wouldhave been hit broadsideby this car traveling wellover 60 miles per hour.As I turned, I could seeimpending disaster loom-ing down the road. Just

ahead a tractor towing achopper box was justabout to make a left turninto the Wilson farmdriveway. Right behindwas the speeding car,gaining ground on thechopper box.

The car moved into theleft lane to pass just asthe tractor started to turnleft. The car swerved tothe left, vaulting over thefar side of the drivewayand onto the farm lawn.The driver was prettygood: he didn’t roll thecar or even come to a fullstop. He just stepped onthe gas, flew through theditch and barreled downthe road away from thefarm.

I stopped to talk to thetractor driver who wasvisibly shaken. TheWil-son’s son had only drivena couple feet over thecenter line so that hecould look for vehiclesbehind him. While he was

still on the road, therewas ample room for meto drive past at a reason-able speed.

I got back in my vettruck and headed on inthe same direction as thecrazy driver. And at thenext stop sign I got alittle satisfaction. Thereahead was the speedingcar, stopped at the stopsign. The driver, deckedout in a suit, rolled outfrom under the car andsped off, but not beforedislodging from underhis vehicle piles of dirtand grass from theWil-son’s front yard.

Before he drove out ofsight I believe I found theroot of the problem: thecar had an Illinois plate.

It’s that time of yearagain to ruminate onthe late-cut alfalfa

question. There’s nodoubt that following adrought year and a win-ter that was not too kindto alfalfa fields there isa need for more forageon some farms. Harvest-ing alfalfa in late fallcomes with some degreeof risk, but it’s not ashigh as it was 20 yearsago.

Approaching the fall-cutting decision in 2013comes with the real-ization that alfalfa fieldshave endured a multi-tude of stresses over thepast two growing sea-

sons. There is also a mixof more than the usualnumber of new seedingsand some older standsthat are in marginalcondition.

It’s unlikely that Oc-tober-harvested alfalfastands will regrow to thepoint of significantlyreducing the needed

stored root carbohy-drate reserves for over-wintering. This makessuch a practice some-what less risky thanharvesting in mid tolate-September. It alsooffers producers theopportunity to harvestrelatively high qualityforage. From a winterhardiness and persis-tence standpoint, alfalfavarieties today aremuch better than theywere 20 years ago. Somereally poor survivalyears in the early 1990shelped refocus breedingefforts in this area.

Harvesting alfalfa inOctober can, and most

often does, result inyield reductions nextspring. That may not bea bad tradeoff if youreally need the feedbetween now and nextJune. The degree towhich spring yield re-ductions occur dependslargely on the type ofweather we experienceduring late fall, winterand early spring. Forexample, an alfalfa plantwill “harden” betterduring a fall typified byclear, cool weather thanone characterized bycloudy and warm condi-tions. Obviously, snowcover during the winterand early spring will be

of great benefit as well.The spring yield re-

duction following a latefall harvestis oftenabout equal to theamount of forage har-vested from the Octobercut. Another factor tokeep in mind is that theyield from October-harvested alfalfa is al-most always less thanone ton of dry matterper acre because stemdensity and size is lessthan that of spring orearly-summer growth.

Some growers areconcerned about alfalfasmothering itself out ifsignificant growth isleft in the field over

winter. This simplydoesn’t happen. Whensmothering may be aconcern is where a highamount of grass pres-sure is present.

The bottom line isthat there is no right orwrong answer for mak-ing late-fall harvestdecisions. It’s prudentnot to risk injuring newstands that have beenseeded in 2013. As forolder stands, let feedneed be your guide.

Area KAMO chapter hosts event in the hill country near La CrosseHello friends,Back in October of 2009, I was bow hunting in The Meadow Val-

ley Wildlife Area and had my truck parked in a somewhat remote area. On the door of my truck was a sticker that had KAMO (Kids And Mentors Outdoors) on it. Little did I know that Onalaska math and science teacher Mike Brown had seen that sticker and wrote down www.kamokids.org, which was also on it. I am the Pres-ident of KAMO, and on the website is my phone number, which Mike called, and that is how we met.

A month later, Mike attended a meeting of the Meadow Valley Chapter of KAMO at New Lisbon, joined that chapter and told us on night one that he wanted to start a KAMO chapter in LaCrosse.

Back in July of 2012, I met with Mike and a few other people in La Crosse for what would be the first meeting of the Coulee Chapter of KAMO. As with the prior four chapters of KAMO and the next af-ter Coulee (Chippewa, Eau Claire), I witnessed how hard it is to get enough mentors together to create a core group and actually make a difference locally on introducing kids to the outdoors through one on ones and group events.

This week one of the things that I am writing about is an event that the Coulee Chapter hosted for 11 kids in the hill country south-west of La Crosse, where they taught birding, geocaching and fly fishing and put on a lunch.

I was just an observer during this event and it was awesome to watch what was once just a dream in this column.

Tim Collins is a retired physics instructor from WTC and taught the birding class, and in the fall will lead a group deer hunt and camping trip. I know very little about songbirds, and it was really cool to walk through the woods and listen to the birds and have Tim identify and tell the kids a bit about each bird.

My buddy Mike Brown taught the geocaching class, which is how to find something with a compass that has been hidden in a forest or field. Last spring, at our state meeting in Stevens Point, Mike told

us that along with hunting and fishing The Coulee Chapter were going to teach kids on non-harvest outdoor activities, and I am 100 percent behind that decision.

The Coulee Chapter received two very respectable awards this year. One was from the Mississippi Valley Conservancy and that was the “Outstanding Youth Group of the Year” award. The other was from the La Crosse County Conservation Alliance and it was their “Outstanding Club” award.

In a different setting last fall, Dave Carlson did an excellent show with these guys where they were teaching kids how to duck hunt on the Mississippi River. That show is on our website and it is truly entertaining.

Today, a potential KAMO mentor, Jim Getter, who is a retired restaurant owner from Stevens Point and now is a trout-fishing guide for the Driftless Angler, taught these kids how to fly fish, and I was very impressed with both Jim’s skills and his ability to work with kids.

Each year, I have to make a decision on who will be the recipient of “The Presidents Award” for what I see as one of the most active people in KAMO, that makes a difference on a broad scale. This past year, Mike Brown shared that award with Jim Kurz, who is our State Secretary and seems to be constantly doing something with kids in the Ladysmith area (Indianhead Chapter).

On the 12th of July the Northwood’s Chapter (Florence) will be hosting their annual Hooked on Fishing event where they provide a day of fishing, a lunch, and a pole for each kid that shows up to take home.

On July 21st, at my hometown high school of Poynette, in the lunch room at 7 p.m. several of us will be hosting an informal get together to start what I believe will be KAMO’s 8th chapter or pos-sibly 9th as we are working on another one in Green Bay, where they are having their second meeting on the 14th.

I will be at Poynette and hope to see a bunch of friends and family as well as new friends.

Folks, it’s happening, KAMO is going to become a force in getting our Wisconsin kids back into the outdoors, we need you!

VICTORY for getting

kids outdoors

Aug. 1 marks a key deadline for many hunters, trappers and spearers in Wisconsin as fall approaches.

Those planning to participate in fall turkey, bobcat, fisher, otter, wolf or Upriver Lakes sturgeon seasons must have their permit applications submitted by noon Aug. 1.

Permit applications can be purchased through the Online Licensing Center on the DNR website, at all authorized license agents, at DNR Service Centers (Hours for service centers vary; check the DNR website for service center days and hours of operation; DNR Service Centers are not open on Saturdays), or by calling toll-free 1-877-LICENSE (1-877-945-4236).

Fall turkeyThere will be approximately

96,700 wild turkey permits available to hunters for the fall 2014 turkey hunting season - the same number of permits offered in 2013. Please note that this number is preliminary and may be revised following review. Any fall turkey permits remaining after the initial drawing will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Aug. 23.

Leftover fall turkey permits will be sold by zone until sold out or the season ends. Hunters who receive fall turkey permits in Zones 1-5 will be able to fill their unused permits during the extended season in the zone where the permits were issued. Season dates are as follows:

• Sept. 13 to Nov. 20 for all seven of Wisconsin’s turkey management zones; and

• an extended fall turkey season for Zones 1-5 from Dec. 1 to Dec. 31.

Canada geeseThe Natural Resources Board

will set waterfowl season dates at its Aug. 13 meeting. It is important to note that Horicon zone hunters no longer need to apply in advance for hunting tags. Hunters in this zone will simply need to indicate their zone preference when they purchase a license. Licenses are available for purchase at any time prior to hunting.

Season dates for waterfowl vary annually and will not be available until the Natural Resources Board acts in August.

Bobcat, fisher and otterThe approved quotas for

bobcat, fisher and otter will be available on the DNR web page in late July - no major changes are expected from last year. An additional Southern bobcat zone (all of Wis. south of Hwy 64) has been approved for 2014. Those interested in hunting and/or trapping bobcats will need to apply to a specific zone (north or south) and time period (period 1 or 2) for the upcoming season. Bobcat applicant preference points will continue as in the past.

Final permit numbers will be known in August and drawings

for all three species will take place in late August or early September. Season dates are as follows:

• Bobcat hunting and trapping: Period 1: Oct. 18 to Dec. 25; Period 2: Dec. 26 to Jan. 31, 2015;

• Fisher (trapping only): Oct. 18 through Dec. 31; and

• Otter (trapping only): North Zone Nov. 2, 2013 through April 30, 2014; Central & South zones Nov. 2, 2013 through March 31, 2014.

WolfThe total wolf quota has

been set at 156, but the quota available to state-licensed hunters and trappers may be adjusted depending on state response to tribal declarations. The Department will maintain a 10-to-1 license-to-quota ratio.

One-half of available permits will be issued randomly among all permit applicants and the second half will be issued through a cumulative preference point drawing. Successful applicants will be notified by letter and may also check their drawing status through the DNR website or any licensing agent. It is the applicants responsibility to know their drawing status. Applicants who are not successful in the drawing will be awarded a preference point toward future drawings.

Wolf season will begin in all zones on Oct. 15 and run until the zone is closed by DNR or the last day of February, whichever occurs first. The department has the authority to close hunting zones when quotas are met or if deemed biologically necessary.

Upriver Lakes sturgeon spearing season

Sturgeon spearers have until Aug. 1 to apply for a 2015 Upriver Lakes sturgeon spearing lottery tag or preference point. Participation in the Upriver Lakes sturgeon spearing season on Lakes Butte des Morts, Winneconne and Poygan is controlled through a lottery. Those selected in the lottery will be notified by Oct. 1 that they have been authorized to purchase a license and participate in the 2015 Upriver season (this tag must be purchased before Oct. 31).

Group lottery applications of up to four persons will be accepted. Each group will carry the preference points of the group member with the fewest points. Group applications must be made online through the online licensing center.

Spearers who apply for but are not authorized to purchase an Upriver Lakes license will receive a preference point toward the following lottery, and can purchase a license to participate in the Lake Winnebago spearing season that runs at the same time.

JULY 31-AUGUST 6, 2014 • PAGE 9SENTRY ENTERPRISE • OUTDOORS

Hello friends,This past week I stayed at a cabin on Green Bay near Oconto and

prefished for an AIM “Angler’s Insight Marketing” walleye tourna-ment with eight tournament pros that I did not know until this trip took place.

Saturday, July 19 • High 82, low 55I met Ben Bertram after dark on the Fox River while fishing wall-

eye a few years back.On June 24 I met him again when he joined a new KAMO chapter

out of Green Bay and he invited me to fish with him and his friends. Today I met Ben and a whole bunch of what I would learn is the

“Keep it Reel Fishing” group, which is maybe eight pros and I would find out they’re all important partners for prefishing.

In the world of fishing tournaments, at least at this scale, prefish-ing generally starts on a Friday or Saturday for a tournament that begins the following Thursday or Friday. A pro needs one or two people in their boat so that six or maybe even nine lines can be used which mathematically helps him or her to figure out both location and technique for a hot bite on a big fish.

Today I would fish with Ben Bertram and Justin Schnieder of Chilton. Justin, who like Ben, is in the 30-year-old bracket is a proj-ect manager “mechanical contractor” for a family owned business.

Before we even pulled the poles out of the rod locker we went across Green Bay on a 14-mile ride and let me tell you, Justin does not hold back the horses when driving over the top of high seas.

My initiation would begin as soon we began setting up to troll by remote control with an electric motor or 9.9 outboard. Justin would work the structure of the reef he wanted to fish, while Ben set out 4-poles rigged with crankbaits of which 3 were on planer boards and one was straight back. I would do the same on the opposite side of the boat.

Today I learned that this AIM tournament is rather unique in a very good way. There are two pros in each boat and each day they get a new co-angler who is urged to help with the fishing and takes part in the measuring of each fish and photographing of the fish on the bump board.

In other words, walleye are not put in a livewell for this tourna-ment; they are measured, charted, photographed, and released. A

big plus being that a team gets to use their biggest fish of the day. In a tournament where pounds of fish per day will probably have to average 40 or better to win, the ability to change fish can really help.

Justin does not like to use a net when prefishing and as soon as he catch’s a walleye or two, the rods are pulled and another boat ride takes place.

These guys learned a thing or two about me today when I caught a gobie and Justin told me he would give me $10.00 if I ate it. Long story short I bid them up to $40.00 and ate the gobie while being filmed. You can check out this video at www.keepitreelfishing.com and I have to warn you the fish crunching between my molars is kind of gross.

Sunday, July 27 • High 81, low 51

There is so much more to say in a story like this, but because of space limitations, I am not able to.

Like yesterday, Kent Anderson (who is the National Sales Man-ager for Warror Boats) caught a 31.5-inch walleye.

Last night about ten of us shared a meal cooked by Ben of moose steaks and then I watched these guys have a serious meeting about their day of fishing and the next day’s plan.

Today, I would fish with Robert Cardenas, who is from Gem Lake, Minnesota and, when he is not on the tournament trail, is a nurse at a hospital in St Paul. Robert runs a Warrior 2121 that is pushed by a 300 horse Yamaha.

Today we would be using crawler harnesses “meat” and like yes-terday putting big miles on the water all in a quest to win what might be $18,000 – 30,000 (depending on the amount of entries) by the end of the week.

Robert has it figured out that each tournament costs him about $3,400.00 to fish and, as I would learn, sponsors are huge in this way of life.

Like yesterday, we caught about ten flathead catfish and sheep-head for every walleye, but it was a real eye opener to learn of the camaraderie, expenses, and challenges that these outdoorsmen and women live through on the tournament trail.

Enjoy your day! Sunset

During mid-summer, insects of all shapes, sizes, and colors are very abundant and active.

Have you ever wondered what gives insects their wide array of colors? As you might suspect, there are a variety of factors that contribute.

Colors are either structural or pigmental. Structural colors are due to anatomic peculiarities, such as grooves on the scales of butterflies. Grooves break up light into component wavelengths, acting much like a prism. The resultant colors are determined by the distances between grooves.

Instead of grooves, some insects have small pits that function the same as grooves.

Pigmental colors are produced by the reflection and absorption of the various wavelengths that compose light. Pigments may be taken directly from food, may be produced indirectly from food, or may be an excretory product. Many caterpillars and grasshoppers, for instance, are green due to the ingestion of chlorophyll, the chemical responsible for the green color of the leaves they eat.

Insects that feed on the blood of higher animals become red due to the ingestion of hemoglobin, the iron-containing respiratory pigment in red blood cells of vertebrates. The black and brown color of many insects, like some beetles, are due to nitrogenous metabolic by-products known as melanins.

Reds and yellows of insects are derived from carotene and xanthophyll ingested with leaves. Anthocyanins produce red, blue, and purple colors in insects, as well as flowers, fruits, leaves, and stems. Dull yellows and browns are often derivatives of tannin found in leaves.

The subject of insect coloration is extensive and further compounded by the effects that external factors like temperature, moisture, and light have on the formation of pigments and insect color patterns.

So the next time you see a wasp, potato beetle, June bug, ladybug, monarch butterfly, or even a housefly, pause a moment to consider and appreciate the variety of insect colors.

Farmers are harvesting their second crop of hay for the year. These cut fields should be excellent areas to look for wild turkey broods. Cut hay fields are frequented by hungry broods searching for abundant and nutritious insects. Deer fawns are roaming farther away from their mothers. In fact, do not be surprised to see fawns by themselves, especially during the day.

Juneau CountyThe fishing report is slow

for Southern Juneau County.

Anglers are catching the usual mixed bag of catfish, drum, white bass and crappie in most locations. Walleye action has slowed significantly, but they can still be found.

The Wisconsin River in Juneau County including the flowages is finally reaching its normal summer lows so caution should be used when boating, as sandbars and debris are either exposed in many areas or just below the water line.

The mosquitoes have finally slowed, but the biting flies are taking over.

It is also berry season, and they can be found in many locations throughout the county.

Hoffman Hills State Recreation Area

Many of the prairie plants are beginning to bloom such as leadplant, white false indigo, rattlesnake master, cinquefoil, smooth blazing star, and black eyed susan.

It seems to be a good year for raspberries wherever you go. There’s plenty of raspberries around in the prairies or on some of the other park properties in the area like the Red Cedar and Chippewa River State Trails.

Maintenance staff have been busy cleaning up trails from recent June storm damage. Trails have finally dried out and are in good condition.

Buckhorn State ParkThe lake has been busy with

boating, fishing and swimming. Canoes and kayaks are available to rent for use on the canoe interpretive trail and at the beach.

Check out a GPS unit at the park office or bring your own to discover the Ranger Rick Geocaches or history of Buckhorn caches.

Horseshoes and volleyballs are available to checkout for use by the beach or in the group camp. The beach is a great place to enjoy the sun, grill out and enjoy summer. Not too many bugs at this time of summer!

Drop in at the beach on Wednesdays between 1-4 p.m. for nature activities.

Roche-A-Cri State Park Trails are in great shape for

hiking and geocaching. GPS units are available to check out at the park office.

Horseshoes and volleyball are available to check out to use at the mound shelter. Many picnic areas in the park to enjoy the weekend weather. Not too many bugs at this time!
