PRESENTING SPONSORS
The theme for this year’s event is “Technology and Automation”. The event begins at noon with a picnic lunch featuring grilled hamburgers, brats, potato salad, calico beans, dessert and more.
During lunch we will hear from Jeremie Pav-elski, co-chair of the Groundwater Task Force. Jeremie’s presentation is entitled “Agriculture Water Use - The Facts: Where we were, Where we are, and the Technological Revolution”. Agriculture is a key component in our economy when it comes to jobs, services, and community support. Wisconsin Growers are using some of the latest technology to help ensure water stew-ardship. Jeremie will deliver a brief overview of the technology that was used in the past, is used now and emerging technologies on the horizon. He will interact with attendees and test our knowledge on agriculture and water.
After lunch, we will head to an irrigated field in Plover where Paul Roberts, owner of Roberts Irrigation will lead the group. In the early days at Roberts Irrigation the normal irrigation pipeline was made of steel, they were heavy, and they were carried from place to place in the field. Simple “big gun” sprinklers were used to irrigate large areas and required a tremendous amount of hand labor. Technology and high tech were not words in anyone’s vocabulary.
Since the beginning of the company in 1957, the state of water application devices has changed dramatically. Attendees at our Ag Tour event will see first-hand how farms truly are high-tech and how that has allowed farms to produce more food with less resources, in particular water. We will see a complete install, discuss the water saving technologies that are employed and view a variety of major new advancements.
Then it’s off to Groshek Farms in Amherst Junc-tion, operated by the Groshek Family -- Henry (Father), Wayne, Casey and Delroy (Sons) and Keith (Grandson) to experience for yourself the care taken in robotic milking of cows and the barn setup. Managing a farm with milking robots requires a different approach compared to conventional milking. Attendees will tour the farm and experience the process of robotic milking and what it involves in terms of farm management.
The event includes tours, bus transportation, a picnic lunch, socializing and education.
Registration is now open. Register soon as space is limited. AGENDANoon: Picnic lunch and guest speaker Jeremie Pavelski at WPS Corporation1:30 pm: Arrive at Irrigated Field in Plover3:15 pm: Arrive at Groshek Farms5:00 pm: Return to WPS Corporation Cost is only $20 person.

What they have to say \\ The Humane Society of Portage County (HSPC) is having a very exciting year!
We have hired a full-time Veterinarian – Kim Peacock. Having a full-time veterinarian provides us with the means to expand our medical services for our sheltered animals and the possibility of helping low income families. Thanks to initiatives by Doctor Kim, we now have an intake room that helps to ensure strayed, abandoned, or surrendered animals are receiving the proper medical attention before joining our other sheltered residents.
Presently, we are working on plans for an animal play yard that will be used to expand the socialization experience for our dogs. We are also excited about the new life our website and Facebook page have taken. And, our newsletter is now presented to our supporters in color.
Our volunteers and supporters have been a major part in the success of our recent events which include the Top Dog – Mayoral Canine Campaign, Walk for Wags, Golf Outing, and our recent rummage sale. We are now gearing up for Fur Ball which is our annual family fun night that features the largest basket raffle in Portage County with a great selection of silent auction items.
The heart and soul of all these efforts is for the animals we serve. Hundreds of dogs and cats come to us each year needing our help and the support of our community members.
One benefit for our Humane Society to renew our PCBC membership on an annual basis is the opportunity for us to stay in touch with the many community members who share our mission to protect the animals we serve. We see that businesses and organizations are united through the PCBC’s mission to provide area information, assist with workforce development, and support members. Three words that best describe the PCBC: Professionalism, Service, and Dedication.

Ministry Breast Care Center encourages women and their
support people to keep a vigil for breast health all year, and especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, but when diag-nosed early, the five year survival rate is 98%. Breast cancers diagnosed at an early stage often involve fewer proce-dures, have better outcomes and have lower costs. Screening mammograms may be able to detect breast cancers up to 4 years before they are palpable, thus allowing patients much earlier treatment.
Busy women don’t have to neglect their health. With walk-in time slots for screening mammograms, available funding and patient navigators, early detection can help save a life.
Hear from the Ministry Breast Care Center team on options and Breast Cancer Survivor, Kim Hodgson and her husband Steve, about their personal story. More Than A Mammogram – a story about strength, support, options and hope.

LEADERSHIP PORTAGE COUNTY - OPENING RETREAT» CLICK HERE TO VIEW LPC BLOG
On the morning of August 22nd, the 2014-15 Lead-ership Portage County (LPC) program participants met at the Portage County Business Council to begin their ten-month leadership journey. After a brief networking session with Todd Kuckkahn from
the Stevens Point Catholic Schools, participants went on a bus tour of Por-tage County hosted by Anton Anday which included a stop at the Rising Star Mill in Nelsonville. On Saturday the 23rd, participants met at Boston School Forest where they learned about the facility through a scavenger hunt. The two-day retreat ended with a Road Rally. The opening retreat is just the beginning for the LPC participants. During the year, LPC participants develop their leadership skills, learn about Portage County and network with other community leaders. The most productive changes in the community will require efforts by individuals who have the ability to lead effectively and LPC is dedicated to fostering, renewing and sustaining leadership for our community.
Thank you to the following individuals for helping make the opening retreat a success: Anton Anday, Paula Cummings, Mary Hansen, Julie Hayes, Todd Kuckkahn, Sandy Masterson, Keith Pilger, Jeff Schuler, Carie Winn and Donna Zaborowski.
