One of the many benefits of being a 4-H member is older youth have the opportunity to apply for college scholarships and awards. This year’s winners were an exceptional group of young people who have worked hard during their 4-H careers and have very bright futures ahead of them.
Winners of the Green County 4-H Adult Leaders Scholarship ($500) were Brenna Meier (Dayton Dairylanders), Abigail Marty (New Glarus), and Kaleigh Dallman (Jolly Mixers).

The numbers are in from the second round of the Wisconsin Farm Support Program, a joint program between the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR), under the direction of the office of Governor Tony Evers. Designed to assist Wisconsin farmers who have faced financial challenges due to COVID-19, the program utilized $50 million of the state’s CARES Act funding to quickly provide direct support to help cover economic losses during the pandemic.

Dear Editor,
Representative Novak, I examined your voting record and positions and for the most part you represent the voters in the district. It is the most part that distresses me and influences my vote, and hopefully that of other voters. The most part being you are a Republican. If we were living in a time when ideas and policies were more important than partisan politics, this would not be a problem. I would probably vote for you.

Dear Editor,
As it does in every election cycle, the nonpartisan Wisconsin Conservation Voters organization has recently put out a report on what our State Legislators have done to protect our water.
Their report on Todd Novak, our current 51st District State Representative, is far from flattering. He was commissioned to head up a statewide task force charged with finding a solution to water contamination in wells throughout Wisconsin.
