A large group from the class of 1975 were also present, celebrating their 40th reunion. (See those pictures on page 5). A class roll was taken, acknowledging graduates from as early as 1939, and those traveling from all regions of the country. The all-school Juda reunion is held annually on the last Sunday in September. Also pictured are those in attendance enjoying the Juda Jazz Band perform.

SMOKING & BACK PAIN
If you smoke and also suffer from back pain, new research suggests quitting might help reduce pain. The study included over 5,300 people who were being treated for spinal problems. The patients in the study who never smoked reported the greatest reduction in back pain with treatment. The smokers who quit before or during the study reported less pain than those who continued to smoke. In fact, those who kept up the habit has no real reduction in pain. Smoking may increase back pain because it increases inflammation and may damage tissue by decreasing the flow of blood and nutrients.

Lead Poisoning Can Be Prevented In Rock County
Lead is toxic to humans. Lead is a metal that naturally occurs and has been used by manufacturers for years in a variety of products such as paint, ceramics, jewelry, toys and gasoline. Exposure to lead can result in lead poisoning. Lead poisoning is a medical condition caused from inhaling or swallowing lead. The most common places lead can be found are in houses and rental units that were built prior to 1978 (especially before 1950) where lead paint was commonly used. Chipping and deteriorating lead paint on walls, doors, windows, porches and railings can cause dust and debris to be ingested or inhaled. Opening windows and doors cause a rubbing action against surfaces that allows lead paint

Decreased IQ • Speech and Language Delays • Seizures • Hearing Problems • Kidney Damage There are ways to minimize the risks associated with lead in an older house. These include: • Fix peeling paint safety with help from a certified professional. • Routinely clean to keep dust levels down. This includes toys, bottles and pacifiers. • Regularly wet-mop and wet-wipe down high risk areas of floors and window compartments where dust collects. • Vacuum up dust and debris with only a HEPA vacuum. • Wash children’s hands frequently especially before eating and at bedtime. • Make sure children eat a healthy diet rich in calcium, iron & vitamin C. Limit fatty foods. • Watch your child’s behavior. • Do not let children touch or play near chipping paint. • Do not allow children to play in soil next to older buildings. • Take your shoes off when entering the house. • Seek out state-certified companies and certified persons
particles to float into the air. Of particular concern is children and their exposure to lead. It is believed that 1 out of every 38 children is affected by lead. Porches and window sills are the most common source of lead in lead poisoning cases. Typically, children touch contaminated dust surfaces and couple it with hand-to-mouth behavior, resulting in lead ingestion. Children are also known to ingest lead by chewing on surfaces containing lead paint. If you or your family live in a house or rental unit that was built before 1978 there is a risk that you and your family could have lead poisoning. Many times there are no outward symptoms of lead poisoning. If there are symptoms it is usually mistaken for the flu. Some children may experience stomachaches, irritability, fatigue, headaches, constipation or poor appetites. Lead poisoning can have damaging effects on both mental and physical development. These can include: • Behavior Problems • Learning Disabilities/

Author enjoys volunteering at Albany School By Rochelle Cashman
ALBANY — Why did book publisher Catherine Blakemore cross the road? To get to Albany Elementary School to volunteer in the first grade classroom. Catherine Blakemore has volunteered at Albany Elementary for 14 years. She moved to Albany in October of 1999. She has spent countless hours helping Albany’s first graders develop their reading fluency
and comprehension skills. Her first year of volunteering was in Mrs. Gentilli’s first grade classroom. She was also a Brownie leader that year with first grade girls. The past several years she has been a reliable community volunteer in Mrs. Cashman’s class. Each Wednesday you can find Catherine in the hallway area of the first grade classroom listening to the Nightly Reader book that a first grade student took
home to practice. Catherine enjoys this role tremendously and the school district is grateful for her volunteerism. Catherine states that one student this year got her attention right away by saying, “I want to jump right into this book!” That statement helped Catherine have a conversation with the student after the book was completed about what was interesting to them about the book and about how books real-
ly do take us places in our minds. Catherine is a graduate of Wellesley College and holds M.A.’s in education from the University of Colorado-Denver and in economics from the University of Michigan. She worked as a policy analyst for the United States Congress. She is the author of six books. The most current book is titled, Basic
Literacy Programs For English Speaking & Non-English Speaking Adults. Mrs. Cashman was honored to be asked to be an editor for her books: Faraway Places and My Reading Buddy Is A Dog. If you would be interested in volunteering for our school district, please contact the district office at 862-3225 for details.

Dairy industry gearing up for ‘Movember’ MoDairy promotes annual campaign at World Dairy Expo
MADISON — MoDairy sponsors and supporters are at World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis. to start healthy conversations before the official start of Men’s Health Month in November. The MoDairy campaign supports the Movember Foundation, a national organization committed to raising awareness of men’s health issues including prostate
cancer, testicular cancer and mental health. “Our role as communicators is to emphasize men’s health issues such as prostate cancer throughout the dairy industry,” says Amy Throndsen with Advance Comfort Technologies, sponsor of the MoDairy campaign. “Dairy farmers are as prone to the risks as all men but might not recognize early symptoms as anything other than the result of hard, daily work. They might need encouragement to take the
Albany holds Punt, Pass & Kick competition ALBANY — On Sept. 20, Albany hosted a local NFL PUNT, PASS & KICK competition at the school playground field. NFL PPK is a program developed to aid in teaching the fundamentals of punting, passing, and kicking a football, as well as the teamwork and attitude needed to successfully play sports. Girls and boys in five separate age divisions (6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, and 14-15) compete against each other in a fun and engaging way. Albany had 51 student participants in the local competition.
It was a very entertaining morning as family members and friends were able to enjoy beautiful weather and music, while watching the participants have fun being active. The top finisher in each of the boys’ and girls’ divisions from the five age brackets will advance to compete at the sectional round, which will be held at Middleton High School in Middleton, Wis. on Oct. 25 at 11 a.m. Thank you to the NFL Fuel Up To Play 60 Albany student team for volunteering to help work the event!

Fire district to get new attack engine in 2016 By Tony Ends Editor
BRODHEAD — Fire Engine No. 6 will see its last of more than 25 years of service this year. Fire District Commissions met to sign a contract last Wednesday, Sept. 30, for a new main line fire attack engine priced at just under $515,000. All five rural and city commissioners present – President Ron Schwartzlow, Treasurer Pat Faessler, Steve Hazeltine, Dick Hale and Jason Coplein supported the purchase. Commissioner Anne Anderson was not present. Pierce Manufacturing, which has built and sold two other fire vehicles to the district, will make the new engine for Brodhead. Manufacture of the fire engine, in Appleton according to a 121-page contract description, will take 10 to 11 months. Funds the district has been budgeting and saving for equipment purchases and upgrades will pay for a big portion of the expense, said Fire Department Lt. Tony Zimmerman. The district will also hold fundraisers to pay for the truck, and it has arranged financing for a balance of about $300,000, said Zimmerman, who chaired the truck purchase committee. The new engine’s price tag reflects a nearly $25,000 savings from a pre-payment discount, according to a sales representative for Pierce, who was on hand for the contract signing in Brodhead. The committee met for about 90 days, putting together specifications and equipment the engine will carry. They also visited Piece’s Appleton manufacturing facility. First Assistant Chief Chris Searles, along with Trent Gerber, Walter Messel, Bill Shrier, Derrick Pinnow and Jake Updike also served on the committee. Capt. Rick Bedward assisted through about three-fourth’s of the process, too, Zimmerman said. The new engine will be used in structure fires, car fires, auto accidents, and rescue operations. Six fire personnel will ride the vehicle. They’ll include an operator, officer and four firefighters. Zimmerman said the new engine will have an ultra high pressure system tool that the department can use in structure, car and brush fires. Pierce will furnish some training on the new vehicle.

PET TALK: PET ALLERGIES cific areas, which can result in skin irritations. “An itch may be manifested as licking, chewing, biting, rubbing, scratching, head shaking, and/or scooting,” Patterson said. “Common itchy body areas include the face, ears, paws, armpits, groin, rump, and anal region. Horses may present with an itchy skin disease and/ or hives.” Patterson further explains that every animal has a different reaction to allergies, just like people do. “Every pet has its own itch tolerance, which means the intensity and reason(s) for your pet’s itch may not be the same as another animal,” he said. “Regardless of the animal, allergic patients are prone to secondary infections that can cause skin discoloration, hair loss, pimples, or scabs.” According to Patterson, all SPONSORED BY cats SPONSORED BY and horses can be affected by allergens.

Dalmatians, Shar Peis, and bulldogs—are more susceptible. If your pet shows any sign of an allergy, it is best to contact your veterinarian so they can properly diagnose what allergen is affecting your pet. Your veterinarian can also perform tests to determine the most effective treatment plan to alleviate your pet’s discomfort. Allergens that most commonly irritate pets include fleas, food, pollen, molds, mites, insects, and dander. “Treatments are tailored to the individual based on the extent, severity, and seasonality of signs,” Patterson said. “The ‘absolutes’ of therapy include routine bathing to remove pollen accumulation, infection control (topical and/or systemic), and flea prevention.” Patterson also emphasizes to pet owners that allergies can be managed but rarely cured. For pets that suffer from chronic allergies, a steroid may be used to alleviate the animal’s discomfort. However, Patterson reminds pet owners that long-

term use of steroids can cause health issues. However, if a pet’s allergies are left untreated, there can be other harmful effects. Dr. Alison Diesel, clinical assistant professor at the CVM, explains how your pet may suffer detrimental health problems without treatment. “Allergies if left untreated/ unmanaged can cause continued discomfort in your pets,” Diesel said. “Self-trauma to the skin can create wounds that can become secondarily infected. We occasionally see pets that have spent so much time itching and scratching that they are not sleeping well and may even lose weight...In more severe cases, a visit to a veterinary dermatologist may be quite helpful.” Although many people suffer from allergies, many of us do not recognize that allergies are just as common in animals. If you think your pet may be suffering from an allergy, your veterinarian can begin the process of helping your pet enjoy the outdoors again.

Olsen now serving 48th year on the Brodhead Fire Department By Dan Moeller Interim editor
BRODHEAD — Bob Olsen may not have seen it all in his 47-and-a-half years with the Brodhead Fire Department, but he has seen a lot of it. In fact, of the 11 fire chiefs in the department’s history, Olsen has served under seven of them and knew the eighth. It’s the dedication and commitment of people like Olsen who make volunteer fire departments the successful organizations they are. In a recent interview, Olsen said an unusual situation inspired him to join the department here. “Before I got in, there was about 10 or 11 fires in one day. A guy was setting them.” Olsen was concerned and talked to one of the firefighters who suggested he join the department. He decided he would try it and see what he liked about it. He’s liked it enough to stay with the department all these years. As for the arsonist, Olsen said he doesn’t know if the man was ever prosecuted but they knew who he was. Olsen has mostly been a firefighter but has also served as a fire department trustee. Now he drives a truck and also teaches some classes on the operation of the trucks. The technology of firefighting has changed a lot over the years, he said. “The technology and training has really been upgraded over the years. The equipment that we’ve got is better now than it’s ever been, that and safety. Those are the things that are just jumping out at us.” Concerning safety, Olsen said that
before he joined the department, a fire chief went running into a house and fell right through the floor and into the basement. He was fortunate to land right at the steps that went to the back door or he might have lost his life. After that, the department became much more careful about how it fights fires. “We are really careful with what we do. We have a slogan on the trucks that ‘Everybody goes home.’ We emphasize safety now.” Over the years Olsen has been to a lot of big fires, barn fires, house fires and others. “I’ve been to neighboring towns that had big fires through mutual aid agreements.” Olsen, 77, has been retired for 13 years from Martin Automatic in Rockford, Ill., where he was a supervisor. His firefighting time while he was working involved nights and weekends. Olsen joined the department three days short of his 30th birthday. “A lot of these kids get on now that are 18, 19 years old. I could have 10 more years in if I had got on like they do.” One of the things Olsen has enjoyed the most is the camaraderie involved in being on the department. “There’s also some humor in it. There is good fellowship with the good friends that we work with here. The guys get along really well. I really enjoy that.” Olsen has been married for 57 years. He and his wife Donna have three children and six grandchildren all living in the area. Having a wife who supported him has been a key to staying on the department. “If your wife is not for this, you’re not

going to make it.” Lots of time he has had to drop what he’s doing or leave a family event like a wedding because of a call. “She has been really supportive of the whole thing.” He feels commitment is the key to being a success with the fire department. Part of that is the 120 hours of schooling needed to become a firefighter. It takes an additional 50 hours to become a first

responder, something that Olsen also is. “Right now we have some new guys that I’m really happy with. They’re really doing their job.” A desire to serve the community is what it’s all about for all of the people on the department, he said. Concerning all those fire chiefs that Olsen has known, “All of them had their good points,” he said.

Albany chief reports on his department By Danny Mueller Albany Fire Chief
ALBANY — The Albany Community Volunteer Fire Department has been in operation since 1887 and currently has 19 dedicated fire personnel from all walks of life and ages. Having a volunteer department, we have the great ability to have members that are very diverse in terms of skill and experience. You can always count on the professional skills of the personnel. From carpenters, masons, electricians, engineers, paramedics, and so on, we have resources to help on a wide array of different calls. The AFDs fire district covers over 60 square miles, covering the townships of Decatur, Sylvester, Brooklyn, Magnolia, Albany, and the Village of Albany. The calls range from structure fires, grass fires, and vehicle fires to medical assistances, vehicle accidents, river rescues, hazardous material leaks and spills, and weather related calls. We respond to mass casualty incidents, natural disasters (like tornadoes and floods), searching for lost individuals, and
many more different types of emergency situations. In the past, AFD has had calls for lost hunters, lost canoers, and a puppy in a well pipe; calls you can’t really expect to be prepared for. Green County has some of the most dedicated volunteers in the state, and I am proud to say that Albany is part of that group. The AFD practices every Tuesday and the first Saturday of every month. The AFD has a good fleet of trucks. 706 is the grass fire truck/command, it responds on all calls. 702 is an engine, its main porpoise is fire suppression. 705 is our rescue engine, we use it for vehicle fires, vehicle accidents, and any other type of rescue call we are paged for. 705 has room for 10 firefighters, eight air packs, a fill station for air packs, the Jaws of Life, a generator, a light tower, an inflatable boat, cold water and ice rescue suits, ropes, hand tools and other assorted equipment. 701 and 704 are what we now call tenders (tankers). 701 carries 2200 gallons of water and is used as our second grass truck. 704 carries 3,500 gallons of 221151
We thank all fire fighters for their dedication

water. 700 is a Utility Terrain Vehicle. During the summer it gets used quite often for various responses. 700 is a crew cab that carries up to six first responders for river rescues and a Stokes basket for the patient. In dry weather time the stokes basket is removed and replaced with a 50 gal water tank and pump. The last piece of equipment we store is the Green County Hazmat Trailer, which can be used in Green, Rock, and Dane counties. Our Fire personnel are responsible for getting

the trailer anywhere in the county where it is needed and also to be knowledgeable as how to set up the hazmat tent and properly run a decontamination operation of civilians and firefighters. We are always looking for dedicated people who want to help out the community and develop lifelong skills. If interested, seek out any of our firefighters and feel free to ask them questions, or simply stop in and say hello during any of our regularly scheduled practices.

Interns help fire department succeed By Dan Moeller Correspondent
ORFORDVILLE — Volunteer fire departments need new blood in order to continue to serve their communities. The Orfordville Fire Department works hard to reach potential new volunteers, using its intern and cadet program to help attract them. The intern program started about two-and-a-half years ago and the cadet program about a year-and-ahalf ago. Chief Brian Colloton notes the department’s 49 volunteers include seven interns and four cadets. The idea of the cadets, ages 16 to 18, is to show them what firefighting is all about. They do all the training regular firefighters do and experience everything the regulars do except they don’t do interior firefighting. They do all the support and secondary work with the hoses and the like. “It gives them the chance to
experience it,” said Colloton during a recent interview. Interns usually range in age from 21 to 25. The chief said the success of the intern program “is way beyond my expectations. It’s help put life back in this department and at the same time we’ve brought a lot of new firefighters and EMTs on just through the community. The value that they bring to this department feeds life into us. It energizes the whole department. It’s been a lot of growth. It’s been a very good three years for us.” However, Colloton notes that while the cadet and intern programs are important, it’s the volunteers as a whole group that make the department successful. “The interns and the cadets feed into the success that we have today.” Brianne Meris is one of the department’s interns. She started her internship two years ago and hopes to enter paramedics school in Jan-

uary. She is currently a student at Blackhawk Technical College. “I just love this place,” she said recently. “It’s like a second family. You’re just so comfortable and everyone is there to help you. You go to school and you come here and you can ask anything. It’s like home.” Meris said people thought she was quiet and shy when she joined two years ago. “and now I have a huge personality. They’re a little scared of me sometimes but I get stuff done.” Even if she becomes a paramedic she still wants to remain with the department. In fact, she hopes to be with the department “forever.” The fire department recently purchased the house just north of the fire station. It will provide a specific place for interns. They can eat there and do homework on just “veg out.” There will also be an administrative office there.

Living the fantasy
M
y daughter and I live with a bunch of guys, so it wasn’t much of a surprise when they suggested a family fantasy football league. They are good at thinking up ways to beat us in various competitions – and not watching chick flicks. The fantasy league wasn’t such a bad idea. I figured it would generate a friendly atmosphere of competition and provide a shared sense of engagement during the big games. Plus it might even garner me a spot on the couch on Sunday afternoons. I was all in. We started with the draft. This is where you pick your team, not get ready for war. Since my knowledge of professional football fits comfortably on the tip of a very sharp pencil, I was a little apprehensive. My sons showed me there are apps for that. Our app walked us through the whole fantasy drafting process, gave us a play-by-play rundown of who’s who in football and ranked players according to their estimated fantasy worth and scoring potential. How hard could it be? I picked my roster and was feeling optimistic about my running backs, quarterbacks and couple other backs on my team. As a bonus, I’d scored a goodlooking tight end (which refers to a football player, by the way). After picking a team, you have to decide which players to put in your lineup each week. This involves research into player injuries, team matchups, home field advantage and of course who has the best looking tight end. I read the predictions and checked the stats and played my players accordingly. The process was detailed and scientific. I was at the top of my game and ready to put it through the goalpost. Then game day hit like a linebacker and I got clobbered like a scrambling quarterback. Apparently getting your butt kicked in fantasy football is easier than the odds lead you to believe.
Jill Pertler SLICES OF LIFE
Either that or I’m just talented that way. For a few weeks now my mainliners have produced squat while the guys sitting on my bench put in outstanding performances. Perhaps this whole fantasy thing is more of a nightmare than I thought. It also changes the way you watch the game. Not that I’ve ever been much of a watcher, but I assume if I had been I’d pick a specific team and root for a “W.” In fantasy football, it isn’t important which team wins the game, but whether your tight end catches a touchdown pass from your quarterback with your kicker successfully making the extra point. It’s a possibility you could have a running back on one team and a wide receiver playing against your running back on the other. Knowing which team to cheer for is nearly impossible. Besides, none of this has ever been about the game; it’s about the fantasy. Win or lose, I’m just glad I got invited. It’s allowing me the opportunity to spend quality time engaged in sports talk with my guys as well as enjoying an ongoing date with them every Sunday afternoon through at least the first week in February. (Which gives non-sporty types like me a whole month before March Madness brackets become a reality.) As a bonus extra point, I’m happy to report that landing a spot on the couch during game day is no longer a fantasy. That’s a big “W” for me under any league rules.

Kevin Masarik, a groundwater education specialist from the Center for Watershed Science and Education with the College of Natural Resources in Stevens Point, reviewed a number of pressures on Wisconsin wells and watersheds for concerned Green County residents last Tuesday in Monroe.
Groundwater specialist addresses well water contamination concerns By Tony Ends Editor
MONROE — It happened north of us, in different regions around Wisconsin. Rural homeowners turned on faucets, and watched water run brown from manure out of the well they relied on for drinking. High capacity wells for irrigation became so numerous that ground water levels fell as much as 5 feet, and local trout streams started to go dry. Wells began testing 20 and 30 ppm nitrate – double and triple a level the Environmental Protection Agency calls unsafe. Nitrate water pollution has been linked to birth defects and miscarriages in humans and livestock. Growing local concerns for ground water safety, from changes coming to Wisconsin, prompted Green County UWExtension to schedule a pair of meetings. About 30 people turned out for the first meeting held in Monroe with Groundwater Education Specialist Kevin Masarik, Sept. 28. A hydro geologist with Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, Dave Hart, will address the second meeting, 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., Thursday, Oct. 8. That meeting before Green County Land and Water Conservation Committee is open to the public. Masarik drove down from the College of Natural Resources in Stevens Point to make an hour-long presentation on ground water. But no one left the meeting for more than an hour thereafter.

Speaker
Don’t ensure groundwater quality meets drinking water standards; Don’t ensure groundwater quality in areas that already applying at economic optimum rates will get better over time,” Masarik said. “For a long time, the ground water was buffered by the natural environment,” he said. “Lack of diversity on the landscape is one of the major contributors to present problems of nitrate groundwater pollution.” Many years of testing to document baseline levels in ground water are necessary to definitively determine sources of contamination. Victoria Solomon, the community resource educator for Green County UW-Extension,, arranged the two groundwater informational meetings in Monroe. Solomon said her office is offering a voluntary well water test, recommending homeowners repeat the test about every 18 months to vary seasonal timing. Well owners can also obtain tests through the county health department. Solomon is at 328-9440, Victoria.Solomon@ces.uwex.edu

Citizen questions kept coming to Masarik, who understood the public concern. “Private wells are their own utility managers – responsible for their own testing, evaluation and protection,” he told the group. “Often, well construction is the source of problems. Well depth and well casing are equally important. “Certain geologies are more susceptible. Nitrate is the most widespread concern in the state in terms of groundwater contamination. The state average is 10 percent of wells; in eastern Green County, 16 percent of wells are above safe nitrate levels,” Masarik said. Homeowners may have to change the depth of their well or even relocate it to remediate high nitrate levels. That can cost anywhere from $7,200 to $15,000. Even under best management practices, even applying many novel management tools, producers and scientists may only realize a 10 percent reduction in nitrate leaching. “Nutrient guidelines and management: Don’t prevent nitrate from leaching into groundwater;
