Have you noticed the industrial-scale construction development at Wisconsin Cheese Group’s northside facility in Monticello? The multi-year project is upgrading the formerly family-operated Swiss Heritage Cheese factory into a state-of-the art dairy food processing plant. Eventually, the cheesemakers will employ fifty to sixty employees and increase production of “soft” cheeses.
The site plan calls for creation of an access road just north of the building to accommodate semi-truck traffic and alleviate many present street and parking issues.

Dear Editor,
It was interesting to see a recent article and picture regarding the Washington 4-H club. I was a member of the Mt. Pleasant 4-H and have many good memories of Camp Upham Woods, exhibiting at county and state fairs and attending state 4-H Club Week at Madison. I served as general leader of the Dutch Hollow 4-H when my sons were members and they still have friends made then. Times have changed, those clubs no longer exist, but the young folks, their parents and leaders still take a lot of time and effort to make this work.
