WEDNESDAY HAPPY HOUR SPECIALS STO P IN NATURALLY SPEAKING By Jerry Davis Now is the time to think about spring flowers. No, not buying seeds and plantlets, but spring flowers that begin bursting forth from woody branches when the weather warms in a month. One of Wisconsin’s early flowering plants is willow, whose fuzzy catkins (clusters of tiny flowers) appear on the upper branches of pussy willow shrubs. The catkins are groups of either pollen or seed flowers. The two types occur on different pussy willow shrubs. But since the flowers do not have large, showy petals, the catkins look pretty much the same. At least they do when they first develop. Forcing willow’s flower buds to open a month or two ahead is relatively easy to do by removing a few flower bud branches. Once indoors, place the foot-long branches in a container of water near a heat and light source and let them open in their new, warm environment. If the flowers open in time, they could be a Valentine’s Day gift. Once open, the water can be removed and the catkins will dry and last for a month or more.

Lynx Take on the Warbirds By: Carolyn Karls Edited by: Samantha Schult On Saturday January 17th the Middleton Metro Lynx had a home game against the evenly matched Fond du Lac Warbirds. The Lynx came out strong in the first period and where taking a lot of shots on the Warbird’s goalie and where trying to put home a lot of rebounds that the goalie put out. The rebounds finally went in for the Lynx when Samantha Dingle a junior from Verona put her own rebound in the back of the net. The Lynx went up 1-0 at the end of the first period. The Lynx came out strong again in the third period playing a majority of the period in the offensive zone. However neither team was able to put the puck in the back of the net in the second period and the score was still 1-0 Lynx. The third period came around and the Lynx knew they had to keep the momentum up in the third period and that’s when Lizzy Conybear a junior from Edgewood blocked a shot and got a breakaway to scored just under three minutes into the period. The Warbirds tried to tie up the game by adding an extra skater and pulling their goalie but would only score once with two second left in the game and the Lynx won it 2-1.

Amanda’s two favorite teachers in high school (she couldn’t decide between them) are Ms. Bosch and Mr. Draper. She likes Ms. Bosch because the assignment choices made her reflect on her life and how she will grow in the future; this made her more comfortable in moving on to the real world. She likes Mr. Draper because of his fun and crazy teacher skills; his unique ways to teach his students makes the learning more memorable. Amanda’s favorite high school class was Advanced Composition. This class pushed her out of her comfort zone and allowed her to reach her full writing potential, and of course all of the laughs and cries she enjoyed with Ms. Bosch along the way. Outside of school, Amanda plays basketball, softball, practices and competes for forensics, and makes crazy memorable moments with her family and friends. Her favorite high school memory is winning State Basketball with the team. For Amanda, it was an unbelievable feeling to share that moment with a group of girls who feel like a second family to her. Good luck Amanda in college! A big thank you goes to Quantum Devices for allowing the “Solid Works Master,” Scott Phillips, to co-teach with Mr. Elfering teaching Solid Works to the Solid Modeling class this past semester. Scott’s expertise was a great addition. By: Nate Francque Edited By: Samantha Schult The All-School Spelling Bee of 2015 was a good one.

Lynx Big Conference Game Against Rock County By: Carolyn Karls Edited by: Samantha Schult On Friday January 16th the Middleton Metro Lynx took on the Rock County Fury at home. This game was a must win for the Lynx to stay in the running for conference champs. The Lynx came out with a chip on their shoulders after tying the Fury early in the season. The Lynx came out strong playing good offensive zone hockey but the Fury were the ones who would score first, they got a rush up the ice and the first period ended 1-0 Fury. The Lynx came out strong in the second period and were getting a lot of shots on the Rock County goalie. With only two minutes left in the period the shots finally paid off for the Lynx and Maegan Sheehan a senior from Middleton put the puck past the Fury goalie. The second period ended 1-1. Coming into the third period the Lynx knew they could not have another tie and had to win the game in order to be in the running for conference champs and that is just what they did. A freshman from Edgewood, Allie Conybear took a shot from the point and scored halfway through the third period. The Lynx kept the 2-1 lead through the end of the period beating the Rock County Fury 2-1. The Lady Eagles Take Down the Edgewood Crusaders By: Amanda Roberts Edited by: Samantha Schult In the first quarter the Lady Eagles came out confident and ready to dominate their division two opponent, Edgewood. Scoring nineteen points to the Crusaders six in the first quarter gave the Lady Eagles a quick lead. The crowd was roaring with excitement knowing that the Lady Eagles were not going to allow the Crusaders to come into their house without a fight. The second quarter was an even battle, with the Crusaders scoring eleven and the Lady Eagles scoring ten. After half time the Lady Eagles knew they had to stretch their lead and came out stronger than the first quarter outscoring the Crusaders fourteen to seven. Rachel Slaney was the leading scorer with twenty and Hannah Whitish not far behind with fifteen. The Lady Eagles finished with a big win against the division two Edgewood Crusaders. Barneveld Beats Blackhawk By: Maggie Oimoen Edited by: Kassy Bauman Last Friday, January 16th, the Barneveld Lady Eagles beat the Blackhawk Warriors at Platteville.

Eagles Take Out The Orioles By: Wes Williams Edited By: Samantha Schult The three finalist from the spelling bee. (left to right) Libby Oimoen, Iris Boehm, Jadon Wagabaza. The Eagles made the short trip to Argyle Tuesday night. The game was helping raise awareness for Melanoma; so both teams wore Melanoma shirts in warm ups to help support the cause. Once the game started, the Eagles went to work on defense; which only allowed the double digit quarters in the first half, resulting in a 32-21 halftime score. The 3rd quarter was sloppy for the Eagles, only managing 10 points, but there defense picked up the slack and held Argyle to just 8 points. The Eagles were just too much for the Orioles as they pulled away for good in the 4th quarter sealing the 64-35 win. The leading scorers for the Eagles were Matthew Myers with 21 points and Brycen Sorensen with 17.

As the Town officials and Town residents plan for a Quasqui-centennial Celebration, here’s a look back at one of the most important activities in the Town of Brigham, then and now. John Helmenstine’s book, A History of the Village of Barneveld and the Town of Brigham, Vol. One, 1976, gives us a glimpse of land use practices, some dating back 125 years, and more. Of course farming has changed considerably during this period, moving from horse and human power to human and tractor power. The main crops changed, too, from wheat and tobacco to corn, oats and hay and now to corn, alfalfa, and soybeans, with winter wheat and oats being important minor crops. Crop diseases and weeds, while controlled mostly by weeding in the past, are often controlled by chemicals today. Animals on the farm were once mainly hogs, chickens and beef, then moving to almost exclusively dairy and now dairy and beef, with chickens and pigs being minor components. Oil lamps and lanterns gave way to electricity and now some electricity is provided through solar collecting systems. One thing that has not changed is that farming, particularly caring for the livestock, is a daily chore, often a twice-daily job. Even before there was a Brigham Town, farming the land occurred on the wide ridges and valley bottoms. Many of the first buildings were log, chinked with mud. Then sawed lumber entered the picture about 1850. Land disputes, while still occurring from time to time, were numerous in the early days, with vigilante methods used occasionally to prevent speculators from buying squatters’ land, with a Claim Protective Association springing up in the Arena area in1849. Hogs grew fat on acorns in Brigham areas known as Adamsville, Pokerville and Walnut Hollow in the late 1850s. Helmenstine writes that the Theobalds and McCutchins became skilled at raising huge porkers for market, while more than 600 acres of tobacco were planted around Pokerville. Farmers often left the area to earn money during winter, traveling to Kentucky and Tennessee to work making shoes and traveling north to cut lumber. Threshing machines began to appear about 1850; one of the first being called the groundhog because it was built so low to the ground. The threshing crew stories are still told today, explaining that regular circuits of neighborhood farms were visited by surrounding neighbors who threshed the oats, and ate grand meals fixed by the women. These crews sometimes numbered close to 50 farmers. The author let his mind wander when describing those farmers, saying there were big men like the Theobald’s, slender men like the Jab’s and Owen’s. An occasional farmer who wasn’t able to put bundles of oats in the conveyor had a strange smell on his breath, which was attributed to the “boys passing the bottle.” Wheat declined as a main crop in the Town of Brigham in the 1870s because of the cinch bugs and competition from the Great Plains. Dairying brought the need for education about a new venture, and cheese factories were built, too. It was written that Fred Theobald of Middlebury, while speaking at an Iowa County Grange convention started his speech with “Cheese it.” Too bad he didn’t put a patent on that phase before a modern day cracker company got hold of it. At the start of the 20th century, there were 20 cheese factories in the Town of Brigham. The John Deere was said to be the most distinctive of the early tractors. It was started by opening petcocks to reduce the compression when turning the flywheel by hand. Many other brands, including a few Averys, a type of coop tractor, were seen, too. Looking ahead, the author writes that farming has been good to the people of Brigham and the future (after 1976) looks even more promising as the world population increases.

BMAP CONSERVATION CONVERSATIONS 7PM February 5, 2015 Talk Title: “The river that flows uphill: landscape evolution, stream piracy, and the history of the lower Wisconsin River” Speaker: Eric Carson of the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey Location: Wisconsin Geological and Natural History’s Research Collections and Education Center, 211 S. Blue Mounds St. in Mt. Horeb See www.bluemounds.org for a map. Eric will fill us in with new information on the history of the Lower Wisconsin River Valley. A series of geologic features indicates that the lower Wisconsin River valley was carved by a river that flowed east, in the opposite direction of the modern river. This river, informally referred to as the Wyalusing River, drained the entire area of the modern Wisconsin and upper Mississippi Rivers into the St. Lawrence drainage basin. Come hear how this happened and how things changed. Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be available. The Blue Mounds Area Project is a community-based organization that seeks to inspire, inform and empower private landowners in the Southwestern Wisconsin region to enjoy, protect and restore native biodiversity and ecosystem health.

Sure, some of these big businesses started out with large investment capital, but consider this perspective—Perhaps they were small, gained momentum, and continued to grow because they understood the importance of and utilized their advertising. They out-advertised their competition in order to gain their position, and then have continued to advertise to maintain that position.
