The Stateline Trailblazers regularly work closely with law enforcement. Here, club members meet with the Wisconsin DNR, who provides funds for the Sugar River and Badger State Trails. As a token of appreciation toward the DNR and all other Wisconsin law enforcement, the Trailblazers are providing free ice cream now through July 31 at the Monroe Dairy Queen.

Trailblazers give back to local law enforcement By Siara Schwartzlow EDITOR

All Green County law enforcement officers are invited to enjoy a free ice cream treat at Dairy Queen in Monroe now through Sunday, July 31. The treats, paid for by the Stateline Trailblazers, are tokens of the club’s appreciation and support for local law enforcement. “We wanted to let our local officers know that we are behind their efforts, 100%,” said Darren Roth, the club’s Trail Boss and groomer operator. “I think law enforcement is a pretty thankless job. Nobody wants to see those lights behind you when you are

going a little too fast, but they always get there as fast as they possibly can when you need them.” Any officer working within the state is welcomed to a treat. He or she need only show a badge to receive free ice cream. The Stateline Trailblazers Club was established over forty years ago and now has more than 200 members in the Green County area. In addition to setting and removing trail signs, brushing trails, and building bridges, the Trailblazers groom over 130 miles of trail from the Illinois state line to Monticello, back to Brodhead, and to Monroe.

Scotch Hill Farm will host two Saturday workshops and a Sunday farm tour during the Soil Sisters weekend, August 5 to 7. Organic vegetable grower Dela Ends will step out of the garden into the kitchen to teach “Baking Best Buns” at 10 a.m. Saturday, August 6. She’ll then team up with daughter in-law Miranda Ends to teach “Do-it-Yourself Body Care Products” at 1 p.m. the same day. The farm tour Sunday runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Scotch Hill. Two miles north and a mile east of Brodhead, the farm is one of the four oldest Community Supported Agriculture farms in central Wisconsin. Growers Dela and Tony Ends started raising and selling 60 varieties of fresh vegetables by subscriptions in 1994. They also helped 8 other dairy goat producers develop farmstead soap and natural ingredient skin care enterprises. Their son Micah this year renovated a century-old barn on the farm into a Grade A goat dairy, producing milk for specialty cheese-maker Anna Landmark. Dela will also join five other speakers in talks on “Start-up Strategies for Women Farmers” at Inn Serendipity in Browntown, 10 a.m., Friday, August 5. The program includes a lunch of local foods and costs $50. “Knowing what’s in food and body care products is important to people concerned about health and safety,” said Dela, a board member of Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service, a Soil Sisters sponsor. “Making what we eat and apply to our skin with natural and organic ingredients gives us the greatest

assurance of that,” she said. “It helps us regain control over essential things we do for ourselves and our loved-ones.” Baking lessons with Dela will include cinnamon rolls and light Italian bread. Participants can take home samples from the class, which costs $35. Skin care product-making will feature a new roll-on deodorant recipe, shower scrub, lip balm and all-natural ingredient insect repellent. Participants can again “make and take” from the class, which

costs $40. Sign up on line or the day of the class at Scotch Hill Farm. Either way, participants should register in advance. Lesson hosts want to ensure sufficient ingredients for each session.

The Brodhead Jaycees are looking for community members interested in joining the club and helping to benefit the Brodhead area. “It is a really fun, family friendly group to be a part of for anyone who is interested in socializing with other young adults in the area and making a positive impact on the community,” said Katie Porterfield, the group’s president.

cees host are Breakfast with Santa, the Halloween parade, a kids’ fun run, and the Easter Eggstravaganza. The Jaycees also fund community grants and scholarships. To do so, the group raises money through events like the annual craft show in November and the Artful Evening Paint Nights held throughout the year. Membership is open to young adults between the ages of 18 and 40 who live in Brodhead or the surrounding communities. Membership is free for those who remain active within the club. The Jaycees meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Meeting locations vary. Anyone interested in joining the club can send an email to Brodheadjaycees@gmail.com or contact the Jaycees via Facebook.

The Luther Valley Historical Society took possession of the former Footville United Methodist in August 2015. In 1995, this congregation merged with the Orfordville congregation, and they built the New Horizon Methodist Church on the hill between Footville and Orfordville. The Footville building was sold to the Parkview School District, and they used it primarily for a storage unit. There was very little maintenance done during those twenty years. The first repair needed was a new roof, and through the generosity of a few people, that has been completed. Many people have volunteered

time and labor to get the inside remodeled into a museum setting so we can display the articles and history of the Footville and Orfordville area. There is still a lot of work to be done, and a lot of money will have to be raised to complete this project. Rudy and Nancy Kopp have volunteered to sponsor a wine and cheese tasting benefit on Saturday, August 6 from 6 to 9 p.m. to benefit the project. It will be held at Ken Haberman’s Farm at 28 North Coon Island Road in Janesville, just west of Footville. There will be sweet treats, door prizes, and 1928 Packard rides (weather permitting).

Pastor’s Corner

LUTHER VALLEY LUTHERAN CHURCH

Well, I’m unsure how, or whether, the political bloodletting in the media these days reminded me of the first time I was asked and was able to give blood for my grandfather’s upcoming surgery. Somewhere between fortyfive and fifty years ago was when my parents asked if I would be willing to donate blood on behalf of Grandpa Miller. As I recall being told at the time, the unit of blood I gave did not actually have to be the actual unit he would receive. If my blood type was not a match for his specific blood type, then they would use my unit of blood elsewhere. An acceptable unit would be substituted from another donor to use for him. If my memory is correct, I was still in high school when the request was made of me. This meant that I was less than seventeen years old. I graduated at seventeen. I knew less than nothing about giving blood, and as I can now reflect on, I knew so little about life. At seventeen or so, I thought I was invincible. If not immortal, I considered death something with which Grandpa Miller must deal. Naïve and much more self-centered than I recognized at the time, I was also newly aware of adulthood coming into my life. I remember being struck by the way in which I was invited to make this blood-giving decision as an equal. I was treated as an adult, though admittedly, I was still young and amazingly innocent. Yet, there had been life experiences with family that exposed me to realities. Our family had moved before I was born. With Dad in the Air Force, Mom and I followed where he served. When he deployed to Germany, we lived with Mom’s sister and young family. On the GI bill, Dad moved us to attend his hometown university. He played competitive fast pitch with his older brother. We endured hours-long trips into neighboring towns to watch ballgames and play with cousins. This involved long, hot rides in cars lacking air conditioning, packed with dirty, sweaty kids, dirty, sweaty uniforms and gloves, and the odor of old leather

on the bag of balls. Siblings were added. I completed school. We separated from extended family. We became the “immigrant” family in small town in rural, southeastern Illinois. I felt great distress and confusion after learning of death of my much beloved great “granny.” After settling in a few years, we moved for Dad’s new work further away from cousins and grandparents. Again, we were immigrants in a new place, overwhelmed at the death and public mourning of this nation’s president. I saw little brothers who lived through broken bones and fearful accidents. I lived and learned about life along with parents who miscarried, one of whom contracted a childhood disease as an adult and was deeply ill. We moved into the school system where dad taught and coached. We were the new immigrants who even were worse than the teacher’s pets – a teacher’s kids! Not long before donating the blood for grandpa’s surgery, we finally welcomed a new sister, a baby from another birth mother and father. She came with gorgeous, wild, dark, curly hair and with skin of a different hue than ours or those of our neighbors. I learned of family racism and community racism and my own racism. I already knew the ways of derogatory treatment for those who did not look like or talk like me. I still see and hear and struggle with my own dark heart that wants so badly to follow Jesus in treating everyone as my neighbor. My heart so easily rationalizes away the humanity of everyone who is an immigrant, as I have been so regularly throughout my life. My heart of fear can so easily overflow into anger, hate, harm, and destruction of others. Bloodletting of others has never established peace, stability, trust, growth, security, or a strong nation of diverse people and communities. How can we – how can I -- be an instrument of peace? For me, it can only come from an outside source of grace and power, mercy and justice. It is given by The Prince of Peace, Jesus. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9).

Annual Amish Quilt Auction coming this Saturday The Clearview’s School’s 20th annual Quilt and Consignment Auction will be held Saturday, July 30. The auction will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Clearview Amish School at W114 Atkinson Road in Albany. Take Highway 104 north of Brodhead to Atkinson Road. Then head west.

Hometown Drug Scripts GOOD NEWS FOR COFFEE LOVERS

A new study says that drinking three to five 8 oz. cups of coffee a day may reduce the risk of developing hardening of the arteries, which could then lower the risk for heart attack. Researchers discovered that drinking this amount was linked with decreased calcium build-up in the arteries, an early sign of hardening of the arteries. Researchers surveyed 25,000 healthy people, average age 41, regarding their diets and used CT scans to estimate calcium buildup in their heart arteries. As coffee intake rose, calcium build-up fell. Experts say to limit add-ins (sugar, syrups, creamers), which could offset the benefits.

conference sessions and plenty of exploration into the history and city of D.C. Tuesday was check-in day, and members came to meet their roommates for the week. Following check-in was the first of the many sessions focused on building members’ leadership skills. On Wednesday, members took a night tour of the national monuments and saw the changing of the guard at Arlington Cemetery. On Thursday, members toured the Newseum. This museum is filled with all things news. Its displays demonstrate how news has evolved over history into what we see it as today. On Friday, members took part in a service project called Meals of Hope, and they were given some afternoon free time to explore what D.C. has to offer. “WLC is one of those experiences - the relationships I’ve formed and the skills I’ve built I’m able to take with me for the rest of my life,” Janes said.

Monroe Clinic’s Board of Directors and senior management team have announced the promotion of Patrick Loney, RN, BSN, MBA to vice president. Loney joined Monroe Clinic in 2013 as the Director of Primary Care and Emergency Services.

ences include positions at Meriter Hospital in Madison, Weiss Memorial Hospital in Chicago, and St. Mary’s of Nazareth Hospital, also in Chicago. He is also a United States Navy Patrick Loney veteran. Loney is married to Monroe Clinic Behavior Health psychologist, Anna Loney, PsyD.

When not training for a triathlon, Loney enjoys spending time with his twins, who are Edgewood College students, and two dogs.

Letter the the Editor

Green County citizens making their voices heard Will Rogers, who died in 1935, is quoted as saying, “America has the best politicians money can buy.” He also said, “We believe that both Democrat and Republican crooks can be bought. The only difference that we see is that Republicans are a little more expensive.” Following last April’s overwhelmingly successful United to Amend Referendum results in Green County, more municipalities are expressing that they want their citizens’ voices to be heard in an effort to take back Democracy from unknown “Big Money.” This “dark money” from unknown sources has drowned out the voice of the individual citizen, or it’s made him or her so disgusted with Political Action Committee negative messages, that he or she just doesn’t vote. Either way, “they” win. Much of this problem comes from our courts who have taken power from us and handed it to centralized money. WE THE PEOPLE, NOT WE THE CORPORATIONS. On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons, entitled by the U.S. Constitution to buy elections and run our government. Human beings are

people; corporations are legal fictions. We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United and other related cases and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights. The Supreme Court is misguided in principle and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule. If speech equals money, we no longer have free speech. The only way we can take back democracy is to push our politicians to take action, but they won’t because they all are feeding at the cash trough, like pigs. When enough citizens’ voices get louder and louder, politicians will be forced into action to protect their power before we take it away from them. If your municipality has not joined the other patriotic municipalities in getting your voices heard, contact Green County United to Amend Co-Chairpersons Jeanette Kelty at 325-5355 or Harry Pulliam at 608-228-5439 to start the democratic process. Democracy is NOT a spectator sport. Take action before you lose it. Sincerely, Bill Holland

There’s always room for improvement. That’s the philosophy of Wisconsin beef producers, who through the years have built a sustainable business model – but who also recognize that what’s good can always become better. “Sustainability is part of who we are and part of our culture,” said Matthew Bayer, president of the Wisconsin Beef Council board of directors. “But through programs our industry is supporting, we’ll continue to improve, finding ways that we can enhance what we do to make it even more impressive.” Research has played a key role in both documenting the sustainability of the industry and pointing to where improvements can be made. A Beef Industry Sustainability Assessment, funded by the Beef Checkoff Program and completed in 2013, made significant progress toward that end. The checkoff-funded life cycle assessment (LCA) demonstrated that the beef community, by focusing on innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility, had achieved a 7 percent reduction in its environmental and social fingerprint from 2005 to 2011. When you factor in all of the facets of sustainability – environmental, social, and economic – the beef value chain had achieved a 5 percent improvement in its sustainability during that six-year span. It was the first time a food system had ever taken a

holistic approach to reviewing full-chain sustainability, looking at the impacts from the cow-calf level all the way to the end consumer and their use and disposal of beef products. Using science-based methodology to benchmark industry progress during the 1970s, 2005 and 2011, it created sustainability benchmarks, providing industry stakeholders methods for identifying ways to improve practices and management over time. Today that research is digging even deeper, thanks to the Beef Checkoff Program. Regional data has already been collected from 19 states, and by the time the regional research is finished, more than 2,500 producers will have submitted data, from every state except Alaska. “When it’s completed, the 2018 LCBA will be even bigger and better,” according to Kim Stackhouse-Lawson, Ph.D., executive director of sustainability research for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. “The models we’re using will make those data sets more robust and therefore more accurate throughout the United States.” “It’s really an education both ways,” Bayer said. “Those responsible for raising beef are finding ways they can do things better. But we think this is also a way to show consumers how sustainable we already are. For decades, we have cared for our natural resources, making sure they are available generation after generation. This is just a way to boost those efforts.”

Green County royalty conduct taste test in burger contest This year’s “Best Burger in Green County” contest was tweaked to include an ingredient that is no stranger to “best of” contests. For their third annual contest, the Green County Beef Producers required contenders to include locally made cheese on their list of ingredients for the 2016 Best Cheeseburger Contest. More than 20 restaurants and pubs are competing for honors in a contest that runs through Friday, August 5. Turner Hall of Monroe’s contest entry took things one step further when the chef added another local product to the mix. Their Sourdough Beer Cheese Pub Burger starts off with a lightly toasted sourdough bun and chargrilled beef patty, followed by a layer of French fries and smoked bacon. Following a garnish of a scattering of sliced green onions, the entire entrée is topped with a beer cheese sauce made from locally brewed pilsner and locally crafted cheddar. This marriage of beef and cheese prompted representatives from both industries to stop in at Turner Hall to sample the contest fare. Those who attended were Green County Cheese Days Ambassador Jana Crandall, Green County Beef Queen Madison Katzenberger, and Green County Beef Princess Ali Rosheisen. Crandall is a native of the New Glarus area who is connected to the cheese industry through her position as Marketing Manager at Quest Industrial, a robotic automation integrator located in Monroe, specializing in designing and creating equipment for the dairy industry. Katzenberger shows cattle from her family’s fourth-generation beef operation located near Monroe. Rosheisen shows cattle from her family’s third-generation beef operation near Brodhead. All three will appear at various events this summer to promote local agriculture, and all three will also appear in the Swiss Colony Cheese Days Parade on Sunday, September 18. The public is invited to take

part in the contest by sampling the cheeseburgers from at least five of the participating locations. All those who send in their ballots will be entered into a prize drawing taking place at the Green County Beef Producers Steak-Out Dinner planned for Thursday, August 18 at the Green County Fairgrounds.

For decades, nutrition focus ignores critical macronutrient Over the past 40 years, there has been a tremendous amount of attention paid to the fat and carbohydrates in our diets. Little focus, however, has been put on the influence of protein to our diets. The Wisconsin Beef Council is reminding consumers that there are many good reasons to increase awareness of this macronutrient. There are many sources of protein – including both animal and plant foods. Amino acids, which are the basic building blocks of protein and are used to support many bodily functions, are found in many foods. Essential amino acids, however, are those that cannot be synthesized in the body and must be supplied by the diet. In general, plant proteins do not contain all of the EAA in sufficient quantities when eaten alone. Animal-based proteins have been shown to be more bioavailable and more readily useable by the body. “Animal protein, like beef, is superior to plant forms of protein in stimulating building muscle protein,” Sarah Agena, RD, consulting dietitian for the

Wisconsin Beef Council. “And beef also does a good job of supplying protein in significant amounts. About three ounces of lean beef contain 25 grams of protein and 154 calories. To get the same amount of protein from peanut butter would require six tablespoons and 564 calories – and it would be in less useable form.” Agena also said that although protein’s benefits to the human diet are indisputable, in the past it has often been left out of the discussion when it comes to good nutrition. For example, the 1977 Dietary Goals for the United States, published by the U.S. Senate Committee on Nutrition and Human needs, focused on reducing intake of fat, sugar, and salt, and increasing intake of carbohydrates. Compared to 1977, consumers today are even more overweight and obesity is widespread. “Research on nutrition demonstrates that making sure consumers have adequate protein is crucial,” said Agena. “Beef will continue to play a vital role in providing that protein.”
