Behind it, a vintage cabinet is on course to become a coffee bar once it gets a second makeover from the Bare sisters, co-owners of the new boutique shop reTwist-T in Sauk City.

PHOTOS BY AUTUMN LUEDKE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2019 STAR NEWS PAGE 7 SAUK PRAIRIE Free Congregation of Sauk County starts ‘Alexander von Humboldt’ year with speaker Cora Lee Kluge, emerita professor of German at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and past director of the UW’s Max Kade Institute for German-American Studies, will be the special guest speaker for the Free Congregation of Sauk County’s 168th celebra- tion of Founders Day on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2019. Professor Kluge will launch the “Alexander von Humboldt Year”, a collaboration between the Free Congregation of Sauk County and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin marking the 250th birthday of the great Prussian polymath, geographer, naturalist, scientist, explorer, author of the five-volume Kosmos, and the second most famous person of his epoch. More species are named after Humboldt than after any other human being. He was the first person to describe the phenomenon of human-induced climate change. Special events will continue throughout the winter and spring, both in Sauk City and on the UW-Madison campus. Cora Lee’s topic on Oct. 20 will be “Alexander von Humboldt: Embraced and Rejected in America”. The program begins at 10:10 a.m. at Park Hall, 307 Polk Street, the Free Congregation’s National Historic Register home in Sauk City since 1884. Trevor Stephenson, artistic director of Madison Bach Musicians, will play Humboldtian-era music on his hand-built Boesendorfer piano. A potluck will follow in the downstairs Community Room. This event is free and open September ‘Above The Line’ at Grand Avenue is ‘Caring’ to the public. If attending the potluck, please bring a dish to pass. The September Above The Line theme at Grand Avenue School was “Caring.” The students listed below received awards on Friday, September 27, from their classroom teacher who felt that they are a caring individual.

Another flood damaged home demolished Heights graduates enlisted in military eligible for travel award

with controlled burn in Mazomanie Graduating Wisconsin Heights area high school seniors who enlist in any branch of the military are now eligible re- ceive financial benefits from the Ben Jackson Foundation – a local area non-profit in New Glarus. The Ben Jackson Foundation was named after Ben Jack- son, New Glarus High School Class of 2016, who passed away on April 13, 2018, while serving in the US Air Force as an Aerospace Propulsion Technician. About seven weeks before he died, he surprised family and friends with his first visit home in 14 months, and his first since arriving at his first permanent duty station at Misawa Air Base, Japan. “Our family was so grateful to have that last visit with Ben when he was home. He got to see so many family and friends – it meant so much to so many people,” Larry Jack- son, Ben’s father and founder of the Foundation, said. “We want to make sure that the young people in our communities that volunteer to serve have the same opportunity to visit home after they get stationed somewhere. It’s an important thing for them to do early in their career, and it’s important for their family, too.” New military members receive a commitment of financial support, called a Military Travel Award, typically before they leave for basic training. Later, when they take that first trip home from their new “military home,” they receive a check to help cover the cost of their flights, food, and any other expenses they have may have. The amount given is usually $500 for domestic trips home, and $1,000 when coming from an overseas base. When possible, Travel Awards are presented at high school senior award nights, when other awards and scholar- ships are presented. Ben’s parents commented that, “We owe a debt of gratitude to these young people, those who will not be able to use an academic scholarship due to the path they have chosen. It is our hope that this small token of our ap- preciation and financial assistance will help make it possible for them to visit home.” To learn more, to donate, to apply for a grant, or to nomi- nate someone entering the military, visit www.benjackson- foundation.org. Donations can also be mailed to W5327 Windmill Ridge Road, New Glarus, WI 53574.

How do you top your best defensive game of the season, one in which you dominated the opposing team? You do one better, of course. That was the story for Sauk Prairie’s football team last Fri- day, as they took care of visit- ing Mount Horeb-Barneveld, 28-0, in a Badger North Con- ference game on Senior Night. The Eagles improved to 5-3 overall and 3-3 in the Badger North and can clinch a playoff spot with a win at Beaver Dam Friday. The Vikings fell to 1-7, 1-5 in the Badger North. “I’m really proud of the group, not just for their perfor- mance on the field, but for their preparation for tonight,” Sauk Prairie head coach Clay Iverson said. “Our seniors have been through a lot and have hung to- gether. It’s nice to see their hard work pay off on Senior Night.” The Eagles were coming off their best defensive game of the season last week in which they limited Portage to 103 yards of total offense, allowed zero points, and registered seven sacks. Then against MH-B, the Eagles allowed a season-low 85 yards to the Viking offense, posted their second consecu- tive shutout, allowed only five first downs, and registered four Parker Breunig scores Sauk Prairie’s first touchdown in the Eagles’ 28-0 win over Mount Horeb-Barneveld last Friday. sacks. “The defense plays hard..

After playing so well the weekend before it was disappointing to not play well against Waterloo.” Waterloo jumped to an 8-0 lead in the first set and cruised to an easy win. “We couldn’t get any mo- mentum and Waterloo would always get the ball back right away,” O’Connell said.
