The DMNA award is for a nature and culture pathway through a portion of the Dudgeon-Monroe neighborhood and the Lake Wingra watershed. The emphasis of the trail will be on the history and culture of the area and on the beneficial relations of humans with the watershed environment. Official events will begin in the first half of June with two tours: 1. A walk between the two Jens Jensen Council Rings in our neighborhood: announced.

The playground area at Wingra Park will have these dangers in the future due to the emerald ash borer (EAB). The park has three mature ash trees that provide crucial shade for the playground area. These trees are in danger of dying unless they are treated. EAB is in Madison, threatening any ash tree more than a few inches in diameter. EAB larvae penetrate the bark and devour the tissues beneath it that convey water and nutrients between roots and leaves. Based on experience in Michigan and Ohio, untreated trees die within two to five years of infestation. money so that the crucial trees shading Wingra's playground can be treated through the Adopt-a-Park program.

Come to Science Thursdays at Wingra Boats to find the answers to these and many other exciting questions! Science Thursdays are held every Thursday from 6:00-7:00 p.m. throughout the summer June 18-August 20 and provide a free science workshop to explore the answers to these and many more. Lake Wingra is a beautiful, natural and accessible ecosystem right in our back yard. People of all ages have been exploring and studying Lake Wingra for 4 years. In 2009 Wingra Boats formalized their Outdoor Education Program and since 2012 the DMNA has generously supported Science Thursdays to help people of all ages understand the beauty and importance of the Wingra watershed. Science Thursdays are led by educators and naturalists on a variety of topics. These workshops are targeted at elementary age kids, but material is provided to challenge and interest children of all ages. No reservations are required. Sessions start promptly at 6:00 p.m. continued on page 5 New Developments Along Monroe Street By Lynn Pitman, Zoning Committee Chair I t has been a busy spring on the development front in the Dudgeon-Monroe neighborhood, with actions taken on the proposed new development at 3414 Monroe Street and the new Freiburg Gastropub at 2612 Monroe. The Plan Commission in a 5-4 vote approved the proposal to demolish the current building at 3414 Monroe and build a four-story mixed-use building with 3500 square feet of commercial space, 19 apartments, and underground parking. The approval was subject to several conditions: that the parking ramp be narrowed to 16-18 feet so that the building could be stepped back further from the Arbor House lot line, and that a landscape plan for protecting the trees and a green buffer between the Arbor House and the new building be submitted and approved before final approval. Turtles The DMNA Council submitted a statement opposing the project as configured, and urged both parties to explore trade-offs between size, underground parking, and proximity to the Arbor House lot line, given the impact of the building on the Arbor House site that includes the historic Plough Inn, a Landmark site. It also requested any new development require a landscape plan that would improve greenspace. The Zoning Committee will stay involved with the project as it moves forward. The application for a liquor license by the new Freiburg Gastropub was initially turned down by the Alcohol Licensing and Review Committee in March. Neighborhood questions about outdoor seating, parking, hours, and location surfaced after a public meeting two days before the ALRC hearing. However, Zoning Committee members worked with the owners and neighbors to address immediate concerns, and the license was approved at the City Council meeting on April 8. Outdoor seating is no longer planned, and restaurant parking will be available at the Luedtke-Storm-Mackey building. Work with Vilas Neighborhood Association is underway to develop a Good Neighbor Agreement for businesses wishing to apply for alcohol licenses. These guidelines will help businesses work with their residential neighbors to avoid future conflicts over issues such as noise or hours of operation.

Lake Wingra Springs are the abode of powerful water spirits, serpent beasts and underground water panthers, and the very source of life itself. Great celestial birds, invisible but very powerful and making thunder as they flew, were extremely helpful to the people of our sacred land. Spirit bears had providence of the earth. Native people lived to mitigate the balances of these great powers of order and chaos. Spiritual beings were brought to life by the ritual creation of earth effigy mounds, at the places where the spirits actually lived—here where Dudgeon Pie at Annual DMNA Meeting: Tyler Leeper, Jane Albert, School stands, on the Dividing Anna Peterson Ridge, in Forest Hill Cemetery, years of human history in our neighboralong the lakeshores, and in a continuous hood. landscape surrounding our lake.

To address ongoing concerns of racial disparity and mental health in our criminal justice system, a resolution dealing with these issues will be before the county board in May. The resolution establishes three Public Protection and Judiciary Committee work groups to study these issues: 1) inmates’ length of stay; 2) mental health issues facing inmates; and 3) alternatives to incarceration. Other issues to be addressed include eliminating solitary confinement and safety issues in the Dane County jail. business, agricultural interests and municipalities. The Dane County Board passed a resolution that I introduced to address groundwater issues here in Dane County, asking the DNR to consider the cumulative effect of high-capacity wells and make groundwater issues a priority for Dane County government. Groundwater and High-Capacity Wells: With Lake Wingra bordering our neighborhood, we are clearly aware of surface water quality issues. Groundwater is also a significant issue. Many counties in Wisconsin have passed resolutions to address groundwater concerns, specifically highcapacity well drilling, and how permits for these wells are approved. These counties have experienced serious depletion of groundwater flowing into rivers, streams and lakes. High-capacity wells are dug for Thanks also go to: • Outgoing committee chairs Linda McQuillan, Membership, and Charlie Crisanti, Transportation. • Jane and Bill Albert and Anna Peterson, Social Committee, for coordinating and serving pies baked by council members, ice cream and coffee at the Annual Meeting. • The Nominating Committee, Sandy Stark, Julia Billingham and Jane Albert, for their work in recruiting volunteers as new officers. • All the ongoing work of DMNA committees and many volunteers. 8 Kassel, Germany Sister County: The chamber music ensemble Con Vivo! has been invited to represent Dane County and perform at the “Kultursommer Nordhessen” Arts Festival and four concerts in the county of Kassel, Germany, in June.

To protect and improve water quality in Lake Wingra we need to change our expectations and the norms that govern our behavior. That means learning to live with less salt. This is one message from the Madison City Engineering meeting held on March 26, 2015, to present and discuss the Lake Wingra Watershed Plan. The plan has been in development since 2011 in response to “Lake Wingra: A Vision for the Future” published by Friends of Lake Wingra in 2009. The original publication can be viewed at http://www.lakewingra.org/. The current Lake Wingra Watershed Plan is a joint initiative of City Engineering and Friends of Lake Wingra. Reducing salt flowing into the lake is one of three goals presented, along with reducing phosphorous and increasing water infiltration. The Watershed Plan calls for both resident actions and City initiatives. To reduce phosphorous homeowners can keep leaves and grass clippings off the streets and out of gutters. Meanwhile, one way the City is addressing phosphorus concerns is through the alum treatment pilot project at the Marion Dunn Pond in the UW Arboretum along Monroe Street. reducing impervious structures, creating rain gardens and by supporting proposals for erosion control, storm water management, and infiltration requirements for developers. With increased awareness, education and commitment, we can all become better environmental stewards. Learn more Studies show that spreading between 3 to about community action from the slides 5 pounds per 1,000 square feet of salt is presented at the Watershed Plan meeting, enough to melt snow, but both commercial at: http://www.cityofmadison.com/engiand private applicators spread as much as neering/stormwater 25 to 30 pounds per 1,000 square foot. The City is reducing salt use by applying antiicing solutions on streets before storms, but other major contributors to the salt problem are commercial, multifamily and institutional facilities. Community support is essential to set standards for commercial applications of salt. Lake Wingra has lost water infiltration because of significant development in the watershed.
