wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Third, we hired Officer, Trevor Lee to work full-time
with our department. Trevor worked for us part-time
for the past two years while he proved himself to be
competent, selfless, dedicated, and adaptive – all leader-
ship characteristics that we strive to attract and cultivate
among our police officers. He is a model candidate as we
continue to seek out, develop, and recruit high caliber
individuals and build future generations of our depart-
ment. We are proud to welcome Trevor to our family.

Fourth, after almost 9 years of exemplary service to our
village, I had the distinct pleasure of promoting K-9
Officer, Kyle Dabbs to the rank and billet of Operations
Sergeant. Over the course of his career with us, Kyle
proved himself to be a natural leader, a selfless team-
mate, and competent beyond his years of experience. I
trust in his abilities and look forward to the many contri-
butions he will bring to our department, our office, and
our community in his new role.

Ñ Public Works
New Year: By: Tom Schroeder
Here we are welcoming not only a new year by retiring
the old, we are also welcoming a new decade as well;
2020! I do remember when my eyesight was good, but
alas, my “vision” has succumbed to the march of time.
Hopefully we have made the best of this past year and
have positioned ourselves for a successful start with the
new year. Best wishes to you and yours.
To say the least, 2019 was a very challenging year for the
public works department. We did not necessarily have
more to do than any other year. We did keep up with
weekly services and accomplished all of our seasonal
chores and activities as well. What made it so challeng-
ing was the oscillating weather patterns that seemed to
deliver extreme conditions all year long.

a white Christmas, but it appears that there will be a
chance to have snow on the ground before New Year’s
Eve. I will fully expect that the winter season will have
plenty of snow and cold and everything in between for
us to deal with. That being said, please be good neigh-
bors and place snow on your own property and not
onto neighboring terraces or parkways and definitely not
in the street! Please remember to place all collectable
materials on the terrace or your driveway apron.
I have a couple of requests of you. The first would be
to consider turning on porch lights or your entrance
lights from dusk to dawn. I have noticed how much of
a difference it makes around the homes that currently
have lights on during hours of darkness along the areas
in-between street light placements. An example is at the
Dailey Cabin, I placed dusk to dawn LED bulbs in the
exterior fixtures and left the switch on. Each bulb has
a sensor of its own that made it so easy and has made
an incredible difference in illuminating what was a very           Trash/Recycling

 winter months and curling up with a good book by the
 fireplace… Unfortunately heating equipment, including
 chimneys, are one of the leading causes of home fires
 and injuries. By following a few simple safety tips and
 taking precautions you can help prevent most heating
 fires from occurring. Be warm and safe this winter!
 Keep anything that can burn at least three-feet away
 from heating equipment, such as the furnace, fireplace,
 wood stove, or portable space heater.
 Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and
 space heaters.
 Never use your oven to heat your home.
 Install and maintain a carbon monoxide detector on
 each level of your home.
 Have a qualified professional install stationary space
 heating equipment, water heaters, or central heating
 equipment according to local codes and manufacturer’s
 instructions.
 Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and
 inspected every year by a qualified professional.
 Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the
 room or going to bed.
 Always use the right kind of fuel, specified by the manu-
 facturer, for fuel burning space heaters.
 Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to help pre-
 vent sparks from flying into the room. Ashes should be
 cool before putting them in a metal container. Keep the
 container a safe distance away from your home.
 Test smoke alarms at least once each month.

  Keep Your Hydrant Clear: Once snow begins to fly,
  please be sure to shovel around the fire hydrant near
  your home. Firefighters rely on fire hydrants as a source
  of water when fighting fires. If the hydrant nearest your
  home is covered with snow, emergency responders waste
  precious time shoveling, or worse, can’t locate it at all.
  A fire can double in size every twenty seconds, so being
  proactive by clearing the snow from around your fire hy-
  drant could mean the difference between life and death
  for you or someone you love.

ÑPolice Department
Shop With A COP By: Jessie Knops
On Sunday, December 8th, 2019 the Maple Bluff Po-
lice department joined Dane County in the 19th annual
Shop With A COP community program. Each child
was paired with an officer who donated a day to make
sure they had a wonderful experience.
That day started with a ride in a squad car, a $200 Tar-
get gift voucher, wrapping gifts together, followed by
pizza and finally, a ride home. Ninety-four children and
police officers from Dane County participated in this
event.
We have an outstanding
police department that is
always caring and willing
to go above and beyond
what is required of them.
Like our community, our
officers are a truly unique
set of people. We are all
fortunate to have them
looking out for us.
