BTC honors nursing grads in pinning ceremony
At a traditional pinning ceremony on Thursday evening, Dec. 12, thirty nursing students were honored for the completion of their two-year nursing degree at Blackhawk Technical College.
“Today you are making a promise to the world that you will take care of people the best way that you can. Future nurses, as we embark on this new life, please remember this. Please advocate for what you believe in. The world is depending on you,” said Dakhia Crawford, nursing graduate and student speaker.
Crawford also was honored with the Student Choice Award, which is sponsored by the nursing faculty. This award, determined by peer votes, is awarded to the graduate deemed most trustworthy to care for a loved one.
The event, held in the Conference Center at the Beloit-Janesville Campus, featured nursing instructor Jim Kobs as the faculty speaker.
“They have done this magnificent accomplishment that was nothing but absolute work…it is their day to be recognized for the impressive accomplishment that this is,” Kobs said.
Following his remarks, each
graduate took part in the tradition of the pinning ceremony. This rite of passage, with roots tracing back to Florence Nightingale in the 1860s, symbolizes the transition from student to professional nurse. Nightingale, inspired by her Red Cross of St. George medal from Queen Victoria, began presenting medals to her students, establishing a custom that continues today.
At Blackhawk, graduates select a loved one to present their pin. Thursday’s event included a special moment when nursing student Garrett Fisher proposed to his girlfriend after she pinned him. Students also recited the Nightingale Pledge, a commitment to uphold their profession with care and dedication, akin to the Hippocratic Oath for physicians.
Many of the graduates already have secured jobs like outpatient float nurse or cardiac nurse.
Congratulations to the December 2024 Nursing Graduates: Trevor Boyle, Mariah Broge, Heather Butler, Becca Cahill, Taqwona Caldwell, Dakhia Crawford, Brittany Dahle, Shelby Davis, Robert DeLong, Ashlie Doolin, Emilie Dray, Michael Duran,
Garrett Fisher, Rachel Hagen, Charisse Johnson, Samantha Laube, Angela MathewsBounds, Lisa Mayo, Yazmine Mccrimmon, LaSonya Monroe, Nicole Neelands, Linda Nunley, Katelynn Payne, Sadie Perkins, Jennifer Rackow, Amanda Ritter, Melinda Sawall, Morgan Turner, Emma Wanless, Meghan Woolsey.

OPEN FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION DISCUSSION ITEM
• There was no public comment.
• District Administrator Novy informed the School Board that he and Finance Manager Robin Bye will meet with a Baird representative to review and confirm we are using the recommended assumptions.
• The School Board discussed the idea of using 60% reimbursement for Special Ed. funding in our projections rather than the current 33.3%. State School Superintendent Jill Underly is proposing 75% for next year, but 60% falls more in line with educational experts and organizations across Wisconsin.
• The School Board’s desire is to develop a referendum the same as our current 3-year non-recurring referendum, which is a non-recurring referendum for $1,750,000 per year for three years.
• District Administrator Novy informed the School Board that the Administrative Team is developing a “cut list” to both prepare for the next referendum as well as preparations if it does not pass. The team will look for Board guidance regarding a target amount to recommend.
• There was also School Board interest to ask for an amount to put us in better financial standing. Administration will put together another Baird model using amounts that will provide that outlook.

Watch out for scams targeting businesses during the holidays
Consumers are not the only one susceptible to scams during the holidays. Businesses are often targets of scams with costly consequences. It’s important that business owners take extra precautions to be able to identify, avoid, and protect themselves from scams.
BBB’s naughty list – targeting businesses with their Scrooge-like frauds:
1. Business Email Compromise (“BEC”)
(96
X
FT), 1104 17TH ST HALF BRODHEAD, WI 53520, 1104 17TH ST BRODHEAD, WI 53520 IN THE CITY OF BRODHEAD, GREEN COUNTY, WISCONSIN.
A full and complete copy of the proposed ordinance is on file in the office of the City Clerk for the City of Brodhead. A map of the affected property may be obtained from the common council through the office of the Clerk for the City of Brodhead.
Dated this 13th day of December, 2024.
Kristin Covert, City Clerk The Independent Register 12/18/2024
465805
Business email compromise fraud is an email phishing scam that typically targets people who pay bills in businesses, government, and nonprofit organizations. In BEC fraud, the scammer poses as a vendor who emails an employee and asks them to wire money, buy gift cards or send personal information. The money goes into an account controlled by the con artist, of course.
The holiday twist: Scammers may impersonate “the boss” and email workers to buy gift cards for a holiday party or donate to a cause.
The smart solution: Check all email addresses and verify the email with the alleged sender. Don’t click on links
if you are not sure.
2. Phony invoices
Businesses receive fake invoices demanding payment for products or services never ordered or received. The most common scams involve office supplies, website or domain hosting services, and directory listings. If you look closely, you’ll often see the fine print that identifies the bill as a solicitation.
The holiday twist: Watch for potential fake invoices for holiday decorations or party supplies, or end-ofyear invoices for things you didn’t order.
The smart solution: Scrutinize all invoices carefully, and warn accounting staff of the potential for fake bills.
3. Directory scams
Con artists attempt to fool businesses into paying for a listing or ad space in a non-existent directory. Sometimes, the directory will technically exist but won’t be distributed to potential customers. Other times, the scammer might lie about being with a legitimate directory. Either way, the business is billed hundreds of dollars for listing services
they didn’t agree to or for ads that were never placed.
The holiday twist: Directory scammers may be asking for ads in a 2025 edition of a real directory.
The smart solution: Check that the sender is who they say they are. Don’t click on untrusted links. Only list your business in legitimate directories, like BBB.org.
4. Stolen identity
Scammers often pretend to be legitimate companies to trick consumers. Scammers set up fake websites and “hijack” your company name and address. They may also use brand hijacking – blatant copying and misusing company logos and website content – to impersonate a business and deceive unsuspecting visitors. The company reputation is tarnished when angry customers ripped off by scammers think the real company is responsible.
The holiday twist: Scammers place ads on social media that rip off your company name or logo, leading to an impostor website.
The smart solution: Monitor your social media. Set up alerts for mentions of your company name.
5. Fake charity pitches
Most businesses are regularly asked to donate funds to charitable causes. While many requests are legitimate, small businesses become victims of fraudulent or deceptive charitable solicitation schemes every year.
The holiday twist: Fraudsters send an email pretending to be a major charity in need of donations for the holidays.
The smart solution: Research charities and see more giving tips at Give.org.
6. Phishing scams
Phishing scams attempt to steal sensitive information about your business. These scams often appear to be legitimate emails or text messages. However, when you click on the link, you download a virus that captures personal information or loads a form that asks for bank account or credit card details.
The holiday twist: Scammers may send a “virtual card” or “funny holiday video” that looks like it’s from a legitimate company or employee.
The smart solution: Be leery of unsolicited messages, and don’t click on links. Instead, hover over the link with your cursor to see the real address.
7. Office supply scams
Businesses receive an unexpected call or text from someone claiming to represent a supply company with which the firm often does business. The scam caller will try to sell the business surplus merchandise at a reduced price, citing a cancellation or over-order by another purchaser. The merchandise doesn’t exist.
The holiday twist: The fake supply company claims to be having a Black Friday sale or an end-of-year clearance on laptops at a major discount.
The smart solution: Be skeptical, hang up, and call the supplier yourself.
8. Coupon books
Small business operators are often approached to participate in coupon book or direct mail promotions. The scam business offers discounts or extras in coupon packs that promoters sell to consumers. Then the terms change, or the coupons are not distributed in the right area.
The holiday twist: This could be combined with a directory scam or end-of-year ad sale.
The smart solution: Ensure the coupon book or pack is promoted by someone you trust and the terms and conditions are spelled out.
9. Vanity award scams
A vanity award scheme capitalizes on a company’s excitement for an award that essentially holds no value. This con typically targets business owners and
congratulates them on their selection for the award, inviting them to click a link for further details on how to claim the prize. But claiming the honor involves paying a several-hundred-dollar fee.
The holiday twist: “You’ve won an award for Business of the Year!” You’re so excited about the honor that you don’t double-check the source and the terms.
The smart solution: Always research the organization offering the “award.” Don’t get caught up in the hype.
10. Overpayment scams In this scam, the person you are doing business with sends you a check for more than the amount they owe you. Then, they instruct you to wire the balance back to them. The check eventually bounces, and you’re stuck, responsible for the full amount, including what you wired to the scammer.
The holiday twist: A fake customer could send you a too-big check for a large order, then ask you to send the overage back.
The smart solution: Be skeptical of overpayments.
Check with the bank if you’re given a check for more than the bill.
11. Voicemail hacking scams
Scammers are clever, and they can hack into your company voicemail software, stealing your messages and then scamming your customers via phone or text when they contact them back.
The holiday twist: This scam could do major damage during the holidays, causing you to miss important calls or reservations and sully your reputation.
The smart solution: Update your voicemail PIN/passcode often and check your recorded greeting regularly.
12. Fake AI services
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, with companies proposing the purchase of AI software to streamline your business. Scammers pose as a legitimate business offering a “free trial” of their product, and then either don’t deliver or impose undisclosed fees.
The holiday twist: A fake business could offer you an AI solution for your end of year inventory, hoping you’re too busy to double-check their authenticity.
The smart solution: Ask for references. Check every business on BBB.org, and only do business with BBB Accredited, highly rated AI companies.

Consumers also can find more information about how to protect themselves from scams by following the Wisconsin BBB on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
