Make yourself an asset;

Become part of something

bigger....

Dear Friend,

You are probably wondering why

you are reciving this publication

and the answer is simply, the Wis-

consin Water Well Association is

asking for your support.

In return for your support, the As-

sociation offers numerous mem-

bership benefits, including an

annual state wide media campaig

which encourages the general

pubic to contact their local well

driller or pump installer..

(Now, if you are not wondering, as

you recieve the “Well Log” quar-

terly, then sit back and enjoy an-

other great issue.)

All around us are stories of hard-

ships and it is how we deal with

the issues that make us stronger

and builds our character.

Unfortunately, we all know that

everything will not run smoothly

all of the time, but carrying on tra-

ditions and striving to maintain a

professional work ethic; will make

you and your company a valuable

asset.

We hope you enjoy this issue of

the “Well Log” and if you are not

currently a WWWA member, that

you will consider becoming

“something bigger ”, if you are a

member, thank you for your con-

tinued support.

An association can only be as

strong as those that support it.

Distracted driving is a dangerous

epidemic on America's roadways.

In 2010, over 3,500 people were

killed in distracted driving crashes.

The U.S. Department of Trans-

portation is leading the effort to

stop texting and cell phone use be-

hind the wheel. Many states have

enacted laws controlling how cell

phones and texting can be used.

Distracted Driving and Business

Legal Liability

Business owners can, and are,

being held liable for the actions of

their fleet drivers. For example,

one of your employees runs a red

light and slams into another car se-

verely injuring the driver. When

the driver sues, they may sue your

driver and your company because

at the time of the accident he was

on company business. When

phone records show he was send-

ing a text message at the time of

the vehicle’s impact, he is judged

negligent and that negligence con-

tributed to the accident. The

lawyer has the smoking gun he

needs to sue your company.

At Fault and Not Behind the

Wheel

If you're texting while driving and

you have an accident - it's your

fault. But what about the person

who was texting with you? That

question is being asked in recent

lawsuits.

Sue and Bill Packer’s lives were

shattered in seconds. On August

10, 2010, Sue and Bill were driving

about a mile from their home. A car

swerved across the center line and

hit them head-on. "What I saw was

a gentleman in the car steering with

his elbows, with his head down. I

could tell he was text messaging,"

Bill said. "I looked down after the

Wisconsin Law: Ban on all cell

phone use (handheld and

hands-free) for novice

drivers (Primary law)

effective 11/1/12

Ban on texting for all

drivers (Primary law)

Fact: You are 23x likely to

crash while driving if you

are texting.

D i s t r a c t e d D r i v i n g : A D a n g e r o u s E p i d e m i c

impact and my leg was torn off.

My wife told me the bones of her

leg were through her pants." Both

lost a leg in the crash. The 20 year

old driver of the car pleaded guilty

to three motor vehicle violations.

The Packers are now suing him as

a distracted driver for civil dam-

ages and they are also suing his

girlfriend for sending text messages

to him while he was driving, and

distracting him. Records show

they exchanged 71 texts that day.

The Packer’s lawyer argues the dri-

ver’s girlfriend was "electronically

present" in the crash. During her

testimony, and at depositions, she

answered by saying, “This is how

people communicate now.”

Punitive damages

Statutes may allow for punitive

damages because of aggravating

circumstances in order to penalize,

punish, or deter the defendant.

Many statutes make it clear that

punitive damages shall not be

awarded as compensation to a

plaintiff, but solely to punish, pe-

nalize, or deter a defendant. Puni-

tive damages may be awarded

when it is proven by clear and con-

vincing evidence that the defen-

dant's conduct showed willful

misconduct or conscious indiffer-

ence to consequences, such as tex-

ting while driving.

I WILL NOT TEXT

PLEDGE FORM

I pledge to make my car a “No Phone Zone.”

I will do my part to help put an end to distracted

driving by committing to drive as responsibly as I

can:

Choose one:

I will not text while I am driving

I will not text while driving and will use only

hands free calling if I need to speak on the phone

while I am driving.

I will not text or use my phone while I am

driving. If I need to use my phone, I will pull over

to a secure location.

* Studies show it's safest not to use your phone at

all when you're driving.

It was mid 1960 when Joe Farago

left the paper mill to help a

plumber in Plainfield. At that time

he started putting well points in

around the area with trailer driver

set up. In 1976, he bought a 6T

Smeal hoist and in 1978 he ob-

tained a cable tool 22W.

In 1981, Joe bought a 20W cable

tool. His son Terry, who was at the

time working as a big game hunt-

ing and fishing guide in Wyoming,

moved back to Wisconsin with his

new bride Tina (1984), to work in

the family business.

There were some tough years, but

they remained determined to keep

this a family business and their per-

sistence paid off. In 1991 they

hired John Zouski as the com-

pany’s main driller and in 1996

they bought a new 450 with a cas-

ing driver.

In 201, Terry and Tina’s son Clancy

joined Farago Drilled Wells and

this became a 3 generation busi-

ness.

In 2012, Joe was awarded the

WWWA LifeTime Achievement

Award. Joe accepted the award sur-

rounded by his family.

Terry has been actively involved in

the Wisconsin Water Well Associa-

tion, including being President of

the Association. He also served on

the National Ground Water Associ-

ation Board of Directors.

Joe and Terry are proud to be mem-

bers of the Wisconsin Water Well

Association; the shop is closed for

them to go to the conventions.

Tina and Terry have helped with

the Convention Display area since

we had it in Oshkosh, Wisconsin,

when Wally Govert asked Tina to

help move some tables, the kids

have helped out through the years

also, making it a family thing while

helping the Wisconsin Water Well

Association.

(Editors Note: Terry, Tina, Chance,Chelsea and Clancy are a intergral part ofthe Wisconsin Ground Water Conference,trucks, booths, signs, balloons and evensome stray indidivuals would not beparked, set, taped, blown up or directed ifit were not for the Farago’s. Thank you foryour dedication...)

Terry and Tina have three children

* Chance works for one of the big-

ger cash crop farmers in the area

* Chelsea has moved to Kansas

City Missouri to finish her school-

ing.

* Clancy is works with Grandpa

and Dad in the family business.

The company has IGSHPA certifi-

cation, and the company and now

has a mud pump on the rig.

Terry stated, “the friends that we

have made in the past and in those I
