Early Music from @Guarinus who tweets from France and favors chamber music. Very pretty pieces tonight, "O vos omnes" and "In Monte Oliveti--Tenebrae Responsories For Maundy Thursday" The King's Singers 2004
In monte Oliveti oravit ad Patrem: Pater, si fieri potest, transeat a me calix iste: Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma, fiat voluntas tua. Vigilate, et orate, ut non intretis in tentationem. On mount Olivet he prayed to his father: Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: the spirit indeed is ready, but the flesh weak. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

Friday Web Picks--Time to Protect Our Water ResourcesBy borges, Section Friday Web Picks
Matt Johnson detailed the issues involved in the Dept of Ag review of the CAFO siting law in this editorial (Link). He hits all the major points at issue, lists all the listening sessions DATCP is providing for public input, and calls them out that none of these sessions are within 2 hours of Vernon County. If you can't make the trip to a listening session, write a letter.
Another piece of the puzzle is Karst Management areas being proposed for the eastern side of the state. The incidents of contaminated wells are well documented in Brown, Door, Calumet, Kewaunee, and Manitowoc counties. The proposed bill establishes management areas in these 5 counties based upon criteria to be established by DNR according to the relative risk of land spreading waste in the area. One of the provisions of the new bill is to allow other parts of the state to petition DNR to be designated a management area. If counties can show evidence of groundwater contamination due to land spreading waste over carbonate bedrock DNR would have to consider the petition. At this point we need to keep our legislators informed of our risks here, and help them understand the need for every protection available for our fragile landscape. So get out the pen and paper, pick up the telephone, because there is no better time than now to make a difference to the future of our groundwater resources. If you need the addresses and numbers...think Kickapedia. Prodigal Gardens Medicinal Herbs and Wild Foods FundraiserBy borges, Section Medical Clinic/Health issues
