Happy New Year! By Tim Krueger
I hope the end of 2017 went out with a fizzle and no
drama to corrupt your life!
Before I get too deep into this article, I want to make
mention of a scam that was attempted right before
Christmas, targeting a couple who live in Maple Bluff.
During this scam, the couple was targeted by a phone call
where the caller identified themselves to be the ‘Grand-
child’ of the Target. The scammer even knew the correct
name of their grandchild! FYI, Scammers use multiple
data sources to learn details about their targets life to
help validate their story. It’s easy to do with open social
media sources such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or
similar programs. In this case, the victim was astute not
to fall for the initial scam. But then, the scammers called
back and reported themselves to be with the Maple Bluff
Police Department. They basically told the victim that            be ready if they try to scam you. One suggestion for

Blue Mounds State Park
By Connor Paulowski

On December 2, Troop 5 and Troop 16 went on a trip
to Blue Mounds State Park. When we got there we got
everything out of the cars and made a plan for where
we were going to hike. We had decided beforehand that
we were going to walk 5 miles and that we would use a
compass and a map. Then when we decided what path
to take, we left.

We were hiking in the woods on a path where there               in the dutch oven for lunch. A dutch oven is a cast iron

benches for viewing. We took a break there for a while
and then we hiked a little farther until we got to the
East Tower.

The East Tower was a wooden tower and it was one
of the highest points you can go in Wisconsin be-
cause Blue Mounds is the highest place in Wiscon-

Mounds. You could just barely see Madison from the
top of the tower. Then we got down and hiked back to

As of December 21, 2017 the Veterans Committee has raised $100,000 towards this project. All of the time and effort
is close to becoming a reality in 2018. If you have been meaning to make a contribution to recognize the many Veterans
who have called this special place home, the Committee is still seeking donations. All donations towards the Memorial are
tax-deductible. For more information about the Memorial please contact a member of the Veterans Memorial Committee
or contact the Village Center.

What is ‘DreamBikes’?
The Village recently contacted DreamBikes in Sherman
Plaza to see if they were interested in recycling (pun
intended) abandoned bicycles that our Police depart-
ment periodically collects. But as we learned how they’re
much more than just a bike shop, we’re looking forward
to ways they can help us make Maple Bluff even more
bicycle friendly.

 know it 2017 is too. I would suspect that a good many
 of us reflect upon the past more this time of year than
 any other. The accomplishments both in the work place
 and in our private lives come to mind. Maybe a few
 things that has yet to be done demand a thought or two
 also. Of course there are current events as well that
 affect our lives that are happening all around us. There is
 also the historical past…can you remember believing in
 Santa Claus? Remember the family traditions that where
