LETTER TO THE EDITOR Boards on the dam. Since a lot of information, much of it based on frustration, has been published in the Independent Register the last several weeks, I have decided to share a few insights and information based on 25 years of knowledge, experience and observation of the dam, Decatur Lake and the Mill Race. 1. Agreement with the city and lake residents. Brodhead has always been the owner of the dam, head gates and Mill Race. Decatur Township has always owned Decatur Lake and collected taxes from lake property owners and Mill Race property owners from County F to the dam. When the dam was repaired in 2002, the only agreement made that I am aware of was that the lake residents would help pay some of the costs of repairs to the dam. I believe they were to set up a lake district at that time but they never did. 2. Changing the policy for putting boards on the dam. The policy in place for the last 35 plus years has always been to put the boards on when very little water was going over the dam. Always less than six inches. In early fall the boards were removed. This policy wasn’t a problem for lake residents since at that time the lake was in better condition. It wasn’t until the last several years that some lake residents demanded the boards be put on when we had six or more inches going over the dam to cover the increased silting. And each year the situation has gotten worse. Last year and this year the demand came when we had eight to 10 inches of water going over the dam. That was never the policy. You will never find any past city employee who put boards on the dam when you had eight inches of water going over. Last year they demanded we put the boards on when we had eight inches of water going over the dam. I refused but they persisted and I eventually gave in. That led to flooding problems and I was turned into the DNR. So this year I decided not to put the boards on because we were continually having between seven to nine inches of water over the dam. Imagine if we had the boards on the dam when we got
the 3” rain in June and the rains that followed. Some properties would have had flooding and we would have faced some serious shoreline damage. 3. Not informing the WDNR of our policy change. First of all let me repeat that we did not change the policy. We are trying to prevent the policy from being changed for purposes it was never intended for. However, I did have the WDNR here on July 20 and we toured the area looking at the shoreline damage and the height of the water over the dam. We also discussed the city policy. And I asked them for any guidance they may have. At this time I have not heard back from them. 4. Not being a good neighbor to the lake residents. In 2010 or 2011, not sure of the date, I went to the city council informing them of problems we were having with some lake residents. At the request of the mayor, I invited the lake residents to a meeting at my office. I informed them that putting the boards on when the water over the dam was high could not continue and soon would not be a feasible answer to their problem. It was after that meeting that the Decatur Lake Mill Race Association was formed and for the first time Decatur residents were getting involved in saving, protecting and improving the lake area. Remember, Brodhead has provided the only public access to the lake, the only boat landing to the lake and the only parks on the lake. Its Brodhead tax dollars that have maintained these areas. I think Brodhead has been a very good neighbor. 5. It’s safe enough to go out on the dam and measure the depth of the water but not safe to put the boards on? Well, let me explain. When the dam was repaired the old gates were replaced with a new concrete section set at two different heights. The first section is 30 feet long and 10 inches higher than the main dam. The second section is 40 feet long and two feet higher than the main dam. The main dam is around 170 feet long. The purpose of the first section is for releasing extra water when the lake levels rise. If water is going over the middle section then we are facing flooding condi-
tions. If less than 10 inches is going over the dam, we just walk out over the two dry sections and take a measurement. If water is going over the first section, then we know we have 10 or more inches going over the dam. That’s a lot safer than locating 70 holes under eight inches of rushing water, cleaning the sand and rocks out of them, sticking in pipes and placing eighteen rough cut 1” by 8” ten-foot long boards behind the pipes. Eight inches of rushing water has enough force to carry a car away. When you start putting boards on, the water rises and becomes even more forceful as it rushes around the last board placed on the dam. One mistake, one slip and someone could be seriously hurt. The city has a legal obligation under state law to not put any employee in an unsafe situation without proper training and safety equipment to minimize as much as possible the danger to the employee. 6. We need the boards on to save the lake. The boards will not save the lake. Putting the boards on could be doing just the opposite. We are experiencing some major shoreline damage. When the dam was repaired in 2002, the half mile earthen section from the dam to the head gates was rebuilt
with special reinforcing mesh and breaker rock. The elevation for this was set and approved by the WDNR. The WDNR considers this area as an earthen dam and the city is required to keep to mowed and maintained. Because the lake has silted in so bad causing the natural level of the water to rise, we are seeing extensive shoreline damage to this area. In some spots we have lost four feet of shoreline. The mesh and breaker rock is now lake bottom. Putting boards on the dam when the lake level is already at the top of the breaker rock only intensifies the problem. 7. The city needs to set up a committee to study the situation. That is where the Decatur Lake Mill Race Association (DLMRA) comes in. The DLMRA was formed to find some positive solutions and make improvements to the lake and area. They have done a fantastic job with many of the members putting long hours in studying the lake and watershed. They have had many meetings with the WDNR and have looked at every option for improving and preserving the lake. I strongly encourage Brodhead and Decatur residents to join the DLMRA. The more we work together the more we can accomplish.

This letter is not meant as an attack on anyone but rather to explain and inform. If you believe something in this letter is untrue, please contact me so we can discuss it. I agonized over this letter because I do not want to turn people against each other. We all need to work together and public attacks based on poor or untrue information will do just the opposite. I understand the frustration of some of the lake residents especially those who have property off of the main lake area. In those back areas the silting problem is even worse. I do care about preserving Decatur Lake, Mill Race and surrounding area not just for us but for future generations. I believe the Pearl Island Project is a giant step in accomplishing that. However that grant only covers city owned property. Decatur Township needs to get involved. You need to contact your board members, educate them on the importance of the lake to the township and get their support behind you. There are no easy answers or solutions but by working together we have a better chance of finding and making some positive changes. Rich Vogel, Brodhead Public Works

Green County is working to become dementia-friendly GREEN COUNTY — The Green County Caregiver Coalition is starting exciting efforts to create dementia-friendly communities in the county. The concept of dementia-friendly communities began in Europe. It has now become a state-wide effort in Wisconsin. In Southwest Wisconsin, this initiative is all about supporting individuals living with dementia by increasing the community’s awareness and knowledge of dementia to decrease the stigma and isolation that many times can result. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.3 million individuals in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia. This equates to Alzheimer’s affecting approximately one in nine individuals over the age of 65, with the majority of individuals living in their own homes. (Reference: http://www.alz.org/ facts/overview.asp) Alzheimer’s and other dementias are impacting county families, friends, neighbors, and community members. We need to work together to help make our communities a place where individuals with dementia can live a high quality of life. We want them to maintain their independence, but be there to support and guide them when it is needed. The development of dementia-friendly communities involves all sectors of a society, including educating and creating awareness within businesses and organizations so that individuals impacted
by dementia do not become isolated. In a dementia-friendly community, individuals with dementia and their caregivers can feel more comfortable continuing to go to the places that they are familiar with such as restaurants, banks, shops, and grocery stores. Individuals working within these environments participate in a training that aims to increase their awareness of dementia, and the need forpatience, compassion, and a proper approach when interacting with people who are impacted. Businesses and organizations that participate in the dementia-friendly training can promote this by using the purple angel decal (pictured above) on their store entrances and websites. The Green County Caregiver Coalition has formed a group of individuals in the area that all offer unique and valuable insights to help with planning and developing a dementia-friendly community. We want the dementia-friendly community initiative to spread to all facets of our communities including businesses, first responders, schools, faith-based organizations, and beyond. If you are interested in joining the dementiafriendly community initiative or want to learn more about becoming dementia-friendly, contact the Aging & Disability Resource Center to get connected to the Whitney Thompson, the Dementia Care Specialist by calling 608-426-4295.
Wisconsin study: Boosting vitamin D makes no difference in bone density, muscle function MADISON — The results of a rigorous new study reveal that boosting vitamin-D levels beyond a certain threshold did nothing to improve bone mineral density, muscle function and muscle mass or falls in post-menopausal women, according to Dr. Karen Hansen, associate professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin of School of Medicine and Public Health The study, “Treatment of Vitamin D Insufficiency in Postmenopausal Women,” was published today in Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Internal Medicine. The study looked at 230 postmenopausal women, 75 years or younger, at UW Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin from May 2010 until mid-2014. “We did this study because there is a worldwide debate on the impact of Vitamin D on musculoskeletal health. It’s all over the map. Some groups say you don’t need any vitamin D, while other groups say you need high dosages,” said Hansen. “We found no data to support the need for high doses of Vitamin D in postmenopausal women with baseline serum vitamin D levels around 20 ng/mL.

highest risk for osteoporosis.) There was a small, one percent increase in calcium-absorption in the high-dose arm, but that did not translate into any benefit to bone density, muscle function, muscle mass, or falls. “Vitamins and supplements are always hot topics in science and this study gives a more reasonable approach to Vitamin D,” said Hansen. “Our healthcare dollars could be better spent on other preventive measures. Our study shows that in postmenopausal women whose vitamin D levels are about 20 ng at baseline, pushing levels higher did not translate into clinical benefits. Instead, the study supports the Institute of Medicine conclusion that vitamin D repletion is a serum 25(OH)D level of ≥20 ng/mL.” The clinical trial is number NCT00933244.

Area youth attend State and National 4-H Youth Conferences
MONROE — Morgan Godfrey, from Green County, was one of hundreds of 4-H youth who attended the 95th annual 4-H and Youth Conference at the University of WisconsinMadison campus in June. Morgan joined about 500 other young people representing
UW-Extension’s 4-H Youth Development program in celebrating the 94th anniversary of the youth program in Wisconsin at the conference. When asked about the experience, Morgan said, “My favorite part of the 4-H Youth Conference was meeting new people and sharing ideas about what 4-H means to them; what they do and how we could share new opportunities with Green County. I gained new friends and experiences. It was also a great exposure to what the UW (University of Wisconsin) has to offer. “ The annual four-day conference gives youth a chance to learn about a variety of 4-H and other youth programs, experience hands-on learning in a university campus atmosphere, Courtesy photo strengthen life skills such as Morgan Godfrey at the 4-H communication and leadership, and Youth Conference held gain knowledge to share back at the UW-Madison campus home, and exchange ideas and in June. form friendships with youth

Another area youth that went on a 4-H sponsored trip recently was Erin Gellings from Monroe. Erin was one of 45 youth from the entire state of Wisconsin who attended Citizen Washington Focus (CWF). The event was held June 13- 21 in Washington D.C. While talking about the trip, Erin stated, “At CWF I learned how to make a community action plan, implement a plan, and communicate to others the importance of community involvement. The
action plan seminar was by far my favorite part of my experience at Citizenship Washington Focus. I hope to use the knowledge that I gained to better both my life as well as others in the future. “ CWF provides 4-H’ers throughout the entire nation the opportunity to come together to focus on their leadership skills, civic engagement, and problem solving solutions to problems in their own communities.

Foundation awards Top Performer scholarships
JANESVILLE — In an effort to recognize and reward high achieving students, the Blackhawk Technical College Foundation is awarding for the first time two Top Performer scholarships for the summer or fall semesters of 2015. The first recipients of these new scholarships are Nursing student Bradley Cartwright and Staci El Amin, who is enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program. Both students will receive $1,500 scholarships, the largest scholarship amount awarded by the Foundation. Cartwright, who is from Janesville, and El Amin, who is from Beloit, each scored 146 points out of a possible 150 during the Foundation’s recent scholarship application
review process. Scholarship applications are scored on a one to 50 scale by three Foundation reviewers, who take into consideration previous academic performance, financial need, scholarship essays and the students’ letters of recommendation. “During our scholarship consultations, the Foundation’s board members were impressed by the number of worthy candidates who had applied for scholarships and felt it important to recognize a student or students who scored the highest on our qualification scale,’’ said Elizabeth Horvath, BTC’s Director of Advancement and Community Relations. “Bradley and Staci are not just outstanding students but fine people who give back to
our district communities. The Foundation is proud to recognize their efforts both in and out of the classroom.’’ Cartwright works full time as a Certified Nursing Assistant in crisis stabilization services for Rock County while attending Blackhawk. Once he receives his nursing degree, Cartwright wants to continue his career working with the mentally ill. El Amin, the mother of two, is looking to build on her Blackhawk education by eventually studying child psychology and becoming a child psychologist. In addition to holding a full time job, El Amin volunteers with the children’s ministry at her church.

We are about to enter into a period of wealth transfer so massive that it will be the largest wealth transfer in history. For the next 50 years, more than $1 trillion in assets will be transferred each year totaling an expected $59 trillion. As much as we don’t want to think about our family members and loved ones passing away, it’s important to talk about wealth transfers now. Of the $59 trillion that will be transferred, $36 trillion is expected to go to heirs. But unfortunately, a whopping 70% of wealth transfers are not successful and the main culprit is familial issues. According to The Williams Group, family dynamics and unresolved issues among family members play a huge role in the failure of wealth transfers. While the beneficiaries may receive the assets successfully, it’s after the transfer that conflict, strife, and failure have a good chance of setting in. In order to increase the chances of a successful wealth transfer, we suggest several ways to open the door to healthy communication and honesty with your heirs: Tell your heirs about your financial details. We normally avoid talking about our personal finances even with loved ones, but you need to be sure that your heirs are familiar enough with the details of your estate so they can assume management or oversee the assets once you’re gone. Involve your heirs in the estate planning process. This will help to generate dialog about how your estate will be passed own. This is also a good time to work on your family’s mission statement. If you are passing along a business or large investment, you should talk with your heirs about your values and hopes for these assets. Clarify now so they aren’t let guessing later. Organize your financial documents and keep them in one location. You don’t want your heirs
having to scramble to find different parts of your estate. Keep all of this information in a safe location, and let your heirs know where it’s located. Speak to a trusted family advisor. This can play a vital role in ensuring a successful wealth transfer. By engaging the entire family, a family advisor can help craft a plan with the long-term goal of helping the next generation thrive. Many family advisors will conduct speaker series about raising financially responsible children. They can also provide advice around philanthropy to introduce gift-giving strategies or creating a family foundation. Help build the relationship between your heirs and your financial team (financial advisor, estate planning attorney and CPA). By helping forge this relationship early, your heirs will have resources to turn to if the transfer of wealth gets complicated. It will also help prepare them for their future roles and all that the inheritance brings. If you are the recipient of an inheritance, it’s critical to use your “newfound� money wisely. This is not the time to move into a mega mansion, buy a yacht, or go on extravagant shopping sprees. In fact, your lifestyle really should not change much at all. The money you do receive can be used wisely in the following ways: Eliminating debt is a great way to use some of your wealth transfer; Add to your emergency fund of six month’s expenses; Save for higher education; Invest in home repairs or equity producing investments; Even if an inheritance truly constitutes extra money, still save 80%. Remember, strong family communication is the key to a successful wealth transfer.
Ten ways smart couples can finish rich

How to prepare your heirs for a successful wealth transfer
Since 1901 in Orfordville 80419
(NAPSI) — Every day, some 10,000 Americans retire. If you hope to be among them someday, a few suggestions could help you see more gold in your golden years. “It’s important for couples to sit down and have a discussion about their retirement plans,� advised David Bach, vice chairman of Edelman Financial Services. What You Should Know Consider these 10 steps to a secure and happy retirement: 1. Smart couples work as a team on their retirement goals (without fighting). You should know how much each of you is putting into your respective retirement accounts, whether that amounts to the maximum allowable contributions and what your respective vesting schedules are. You also need to know how much money each of you will get from Social Security and what any pension benefits will be. 2. There are key financial decisions every couple needs to make. The first step toward building a solid foundation around money in your marriage is to have a candid conversation in which you openly discuss the basics and share your financial experiences, hopes and fears. Perhaps you can plan a money date and take turns answering such questions as: What’s your biggest financial fear? How did your parents manage money? What’s your biggest short-term financial goal? 3. Talk about your money openly and honestly. Find out how your partner feels about money and his or her vision for the future. Recognize what
it takes to build a retirement fund together and learn the effect of taxes and inflation. 4. It’s a good idea to review your life insurance policies every year or two. You should also know the current value of your home, the size of your mortgage, the interest rate on the mortgage and how much equity you have in your house. 5. Invest in retirement plans and IRA accounts. You have to know where your money is. Between all the 401(k)s, 403(b)s and IRAs collected over a couple of careers, it can be easy to lose track if you aren’t careful. You should know the nature and size of all your investments (including cash, checking accounts, savings accounts, money-market accounts, CDs, treasury bills, savings bonds, mutual funds, annuities, stocks and bonds, real estate investments, and collectibles such as stamps, coins, artwork and so on) and know where all the relevant paperwork is kept. 6. Be sure to follow all the new retirement investment rules. 7. Plan for long-term care and provide for your family’s future financial needs. 8. Build your retirement basket three ways. Always pay yourself first. Contribute as much as possible to a pretax retirement account. Know where your retirement dollars are and what they’re earning. 9. Build yourself a security basket. This should consist of a cash reserve, wills and trusts, life insurance, and health and disability insurance. 10. Build your dream basket, too. List your dreams (be specific) and start working toward them right away.

(NAPSI) — If you ever feel your finances are too stretched to save for retirement, you’re not alone-and there could be good news for you. The Saver’s Credit-a little-known tax credit made available by the IRS to low- to moderateincome workers-could make saving for retirement more affordable than you think. It may reduce your federal income taxes when you save for retirement through a qualified retirement plan or an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). “The Saver’s Credit is a fantastic tax credit because it pays you to save for retirement. It offers eligible workers an added incentive to save for retirement on top of the benefits of tax-deferred savings when they contribute to a 401(k), 403(b) or IRA,” says Catherine Collinson, president of nonprofit Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies®. Here’s how it works: 1. Check Your Eligibility Depending on your filing status and income level, you may qualify for a nonrefundable credit of up to $1,000 (or $2,000 if filing jointly) on your federal income taxes for that year when you contribute to a 401(k), 403(b) or similar retirement plan, or an IRA. Single filers with an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of up to $30,000 in 2014 or $30,500 in 2015 are eligible. For the head of a household, the AGI limit is $45,000 in 2014 or $45,750 in 2015. For those who are married and file a joint return, the AGI limit is $60,000 in 2014 or $61,000 in 2015. You must be 18 years or
older by January 1 and cannot be a full-time student or be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return. If you fit within these parameters, the Saver’s Credit may be for you. 2. Save for Retirement Save for retirement in your employer’s retirement plan, if offered, or in an IRA. In general, for every dollar you contribute to a qualified retirement plan or IRA (up to the lesser of the limits permitted by an employer-sponsored plan or the IRS), you defer that amount from your current overall taxable income on your federal tax returns-and you may also qualify for the Saver’s Credit. 3. File Your Tax Return and Claim the Credit When you prepare your federal tax returns, you can claim your Saver’s Credit by subtracting this tax credit from your federal income taxes owed. Most workers who are eligible to claim the Saver’s Credit are also eligible to take advantage of IRS’ Free File program for taxpayers with an AGI of $60,000 or less. Fourteen commercial software companies make their tax preparation software available for free through the Free File program at www.irs.gov/uac/ Free-File:-Do-Your-FederalTaxes-for-Free. • If you are using tax preparation software, including those offered through IRS’ Free File program at www. irs.gov, use Form 1040, Form 1040A or Form 1040NR. If your software has an interview process, be sure to answer questions about the Saver’s Credit, also referred to as the
FINANCIAL AWARENESS Time to think over you finances and devise a plan for savings! You can count on these businesses for professional service and advice for planning your financial future.
Retirement Savings Contributions Credit and/or Credit for Qualified Retirement Savings Contributions. • If you are preparing your tax returns manually, complete Form 8880, the Credit for Qualified Retirement Savings Contributions, to determine your exact credit rate and amount. Then transfer the amount to the designated line on Form 1040, Form 1040A or Form 1040NR. • If you are using a professional tax preparer, be sure to ask about the Saver’s Credit. • Consider having any refund you receive directly deposited to an IRA to further boost your retirement savings. Note that the Saver’s Credit is not available with Form 1040EZ. The 15th Annual Transamerica Retirement Survey found that just 24 percent of American workers with annual household incomes of less than $50,000 are aware that the credit exists. Don’t overlook Uncle Sam’s Saver’s Credit; it may help you pay less in your current federal income taxes while saving for retirement.
