Early in May, Belleville High School students enrolled in the Dane County Youth Apprenticeship Biotechnology Program presented projects they have worked on while employed in biotech businesses in the area.
Second year high school student projects included genetic identification for ABS, microbes in vocal health and disease for UW-Madison's Department of Surgery, malt heritage study for the USDA- Cereal Crops Research Unit, applying circular RNA in E. coli at UW Madison's Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, and many other interesting projects.

Mount Vernon Zwingli United Church of Christ and the Mount Vernon Park Association announce an all day Party at the Park on July 4, 2015. This year’s activities feature the 36th annual UCC Chicken Dinner, with the famous dessert spread, along with a silent auction, music, games, kid’s parade, beer tent and fireworks.
Kicking off the day’s events will be the kid’s bike parade at 11:00 a.m., led by the Mount Horeb Fire Department. The parade lines up at Highway G and Highway 92, in Mount Vernon, and ends at the Forest of Fame Park.

Editor,
What a beautiful Saengerfest 2015 weekend. I talked to many people from Switzerland that had not been here before. They thought we had a beautiful, clean, friendly village.
I would like to thank Tony Zgraggen and his committee for having everything go so smoothly. I want to thank all the people that worked hard for all the 600 or more people from Switzerland, Canada and the States. Thanks to the staff of the New Glarus Hotel that cooked and served all those people for four days. I also want to thank the Lord for the beautiful weather.
