to the time of the service. Roma was born to Delbert and Marie (Detweiler) Husband May 4, 1935, in the family tenant farm- house near Topeka, Indiana, with Delbert attending to her birth. She was the fifth of six children born to Delbert and Marie during the height of the Great Depression. Roma was united in marriage to Nelson Huitema July 18, 1952. Their marriage was blessed with four children.

Nelson and Roma moved their young family to the central sands area of Wis- consin in 1959. They were among the first in Wisconsin to irrigate vegetable crops at the advent of mechanical vege- table harvesting. Together they pioneered other innovative farming practices, earning many awards and even national recognition. After sudden death in 1989, Roma found solace in breeding Maltese, toy and teacup poodles. It was through her dog business that she met Curtis Lambrecht.

Roma and Curtis were married Aug. 30, 1994. They shared 20 years together until passing in 2015. Roma was passionate about the farm and her garden. She loved children, feeding people and she loved her dogs.

In later years she found joy in her African violets and orchids. She took up the art and science of painting and firing fine china, making many beautiful works of art that will be cherished by family and friends. In more recent months she filled her days with reading book after book, keeping her mind and wit sharp. Roma enjoyed learning new things and was a wonderful conversationalist who enjoyed a good visit. life verse was, Isaiah 40:31, those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

The family thanks the staff of Charleston House and Heartland Hospice for the wonderful support and tender care of their mother these past months, and to the Rev. Da- vid Nottling for his faithfulness over the years. Kratz-Smedema Funeral Home in Fox Lake is serving the family.

The Dodge County Fair is changing its entertainment lineup in 2017, dropping from four nights of concerts to three. A new family-friendly event the Badger State Tractor Pull will kick off the fair on Wednesday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. Badger State Tractor Pull- ers is the premier pulling as- sociation in Wisconsin. Greg Elsing, association presi- dent, promises an exciting evening for everyone who attends.

Two tracks will pro- vide nonstop entertainment for the whole family. Vehicles will navigate the tracks going over 25 mph, pulling a sled weighing 40,000 pounds. The tractor pull will include various pro stock tractors and some of the top-running diesel trucks in the country. Each class will include 10 to 20 competitors from all over the Midwest. Since 1984 the fair has organized a four-day con- cert series for fair attendees.

Changing to three days of concerts enables the fair to continue securing popular rock, modern and classic country artists. Recording artists that have performed at the fair in the past include Toby Keith, Justin Moore and Ted Nugent, to name a few. of the major factors was the increasing price to get affordable acts for the concerts. So we decided to take a different approach as alternative said Doug Ninmann, pres- ident of the Dodge County Fair Association. Ninmann recalls that it was a for the tractor pulls in the late- 90s and he hopes they can replicate that excitement bringing them back.

The Dodge County Fair looks forward to continuing to offer high-quality enter- tainment for the whole fam- ily at an affordable price. The concert series, tractor pull and all other grandstand entertainment is always free with paid gate admission to the fair. Attend the fair for only $5.40 per day with the purchase of a 2017 season ticket. Daily gate admission is $7 before 2 p.m. and $10 after that time.

Children age nine and under are admitted free. Tickets for 2017 are $27 before Aug. 16 and $35 at the gate. To learn more visit www.dodgecountyfair- grounds.com/. Harris Neitzel Harris Roger Neitzel, 84, Beaver Dam, passed away Thursday, Feb.

Tourists in Wis- consin spent $130 million more in August than in June in 2015, which trans- lates into $10 million more in tax revenues for state and local governments, according to a report from research firm Tourism Economics. John Forester, director of the School Administrators Alliance, which represents about 3,000 principals, superintendents and other administrators, said more members are asking for flexibility on school start dates than they have in the past 15 years. He said extracurricular activities such as sports practices often begin in mid-August anyway. He also said districts respon- sible for busing private school students want to be able to have public and private schools start to- gether. Rossmiller said the change could give high school students taking ad- vanced placement classes more class time to pre- pare for advanced place- ment tests administered in May.

He also said stu- dents could be done with school in time for summer courses or programs that start in June. earlier you begin, the earlier you can get Rossmiller said. Ott, who introduced similar bills in 2007, 2013 and 2015 that went no- where, did not respond to requests for comment. But he said in a letter to law- makers seeking co-spon- sorship that there are compelling academic rea- sons to let school districts choose when they start. School From A1 BILL NOVAK Two men escaped in- jury Thursday when the pickup truck they were in went through the ice on a mill pond in the village of Kingston.

The incident happened at about 7:15 a.m. in the community about six miles west of Markesan, the Green Lake County Sher- Office said. The 53-year-old Madi- son man driving the pickup truck and the 26-year-old Pardeeville man who was a passenger in the truck were able to get out of the mostly submerged vehicle and were standing on the roof of the vehicle when police were called. The pickup truck went into about five feet of water. Arriving deputies and paramedics found the two on shore after they walked across the ice to safety.

one male was wet from being in the wa- ter, neither were injured or transported for said Chief Deputy Sheriff Mark Putzke. The area on the Kings- ton Mill Pond where the truck went through the ice recently froze over and is a river channel running through the pond. ice is never com- pletely safe, this winter has been a challenge, with a mixture of inconsistent temperatures and peri- odic bouts of rainmaking ice conditions difficult at Putzke said.
