Volunteers to carry out third Alzheimer’s Alliance tractor drive

By Siara Schwartzlow EDITOR

Brodhead’s Fritz Wenger, along with a large group of volunteers, is planning the third annual Tractor Drive benefitting the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin. The event is scheduled for Sunday, September 25.

Wenger established the annual event after seeing first-hand the effects of Alzheimer’s and Dementia in his wife’s family. “It’s hard to believe this disease touches so many families, and you don’t even know,” he said. “My wife and her family have been touched pretty hard with it.”

Wenger stressed that this event is not aimed solely at curing Alzheimer’s, but is a way to spread awareness and encourage those affected to talk to one another. “That’s a comfort,” he said. “If you’re educated and made aware, you can help.”

“There’s help out there,” Robert Schwartzlow, volunteer, added. “Talking is the most important thing.”

Wenger knew he wanted to raise awareness of the disease but did not want to take the traditional route of a 5K or Fun Run. “There’s so many people who would like to participate but can’t do a walk,” he said. The tractor drive allows for the entire family to participate. “Last year,” Wenger said, “our youngest rider was two weeks old, and our oldest was ninety-two. The whole family can be involved.”

Ruth Ann Day, who also helps with the event, added that this event is not solely for patients, but it will also serve a stress-relieving, fun event for

the loved ones of Alzheimer’s and Dementia patients. “It’s so hard on the caretakers, too,” she said.

Wenger is expecting a large number of tractors to participate this year. Over thirty businesses and individuals chose to sponsor the event, and in return, were given two tickets each, thereby guaranteeing at least 60 participants. Wenger and the planning committee are expecting 80 or more.

The ride will begin at 10 a.m. at the Spring Grove Township Hall in Brodhead and will move to Albany with several stops along the way.

From the township hall, the ride will head toward Wood’s Crossing and later to the Kelch Aviation Museum, where airplanes will be on display for riders to see. The ride will then move through a scenic route toward Albany. Lunch will be provided at the Albany American Legion Post by way of free-will donations. Riders should expect to complete the thirty-mile route and return to Brodhead around 3 p.m.

The cost to participate is $20 per tractor. Those under ten years old may participate for $5. Wagons are available at a cost of $15 per rider for anyone wishing to ride along.

Please note that all drivers must hold a valid driver’s license or tractor safety certificate. All participants must sign a liability waiver, and no riders will be allowed on tractors. All tractors must display a slow-moving vehicle sign.

Anyone interested in volunteering or anyone with questions should contact Wenger at 608-2144371 or Roger Timpe at 608-604-4648.

Monroe Clinic Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Thompson, shares a discussion with resident, Brittany Blomberg, DO, Friday in Monroe.

Monroe Clinic named in ‘100 Great Community Hospitals’ Rankings part of nationwide conversation Becker’s Hospital Review recently named Monroe Clinic among its “100 Great Community Hospitals.”

“This list recognizes the important role community hospitals serve in our nation’s healthcare landscape,” said Mark Thompson, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Monroe Clinic. “It’s compiled through Becker’s editorial team’s extensive research and review process. Our hospital’s inclusion on the list recognizes the collective dedication to healthcare excellence demonstrated by each of our team members and leadership.”

Hospitals considered for this list

have 550 or fewer beds and are located in both suburban and rural areas across the nation. The editorial team works through a master list of facilities selected based on original research or national rankings from such organizations as iVantage Health Analytics, Truven Health Analytics, Healthgrades, and CareChex to determine if the hospital is making continual strides to provide quality care.

While there is no perfect measure of healthcare quality, Thompson explained how the data and research behind “100 Great Community Hospitals,” as well as other rank-

ings and recognitions, are part of an important conversation throughout the industry.

“More than a pat on the back, it can lead to information sharing and higher quality care for all patients,” he said. “As for Monroe Clinic, it also offers encouragement to keep moving forward, keep improving, and keep listening to the communities we serve.”

Monroe Clinic Hospital was also named one of the Top 100 Rural and Community Hospitals in the nation by iVantage and received the Outstanding Patient Experience Award from Healthgrades this year.

Become a Foster Grandparent Program volunteer Where will you find a Foster Grandparent volunteer? You’ll find a one helping children in local schools, not-for-profit childcare centers, and family-related programs through the Foster Grandparent Program (FGP). You’ll find FGP volunteers reading to children, listening to children read, helping with homework, reinforcing lessons, helping children to develop skills, and providing encouragement.

Volunteers spend between fifteen and forty hours a week during the school year helping children under the supervision of a teacher.

When you volunteer, you’re not just helping others; you are helping yourself by staying active and en-

gaged in your communities. Studies have found that volunteering helps individuals live healthier lives and leads to new friendships and discoveries.

FGP volunteers are 55 years old or older, having limited income, and meet FGP guidelines, including passing a background check.

Qualified volunteers receive a modest, tax-free, hourly stipend, which does not affect income-sensitive programs such as SSI or housing.

The stipend allows eligible people to serve as volunteers without costs to themselves. Other benefits include paid pre-service training and continued monthly training, paid holidays and leave, and travel and meal allowances. The best benefit,

though, is helping children.

The FGP, now in its fifty-first year, is a program of Senior Corps, a national service program funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service. Its mission is to strengthen communities, improve lives, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering. The FGP is sponsored by the Southwestern Wisconsin Community Action Program.

Those interested in volunteering should visit www.swcap.org or www.nationalservice.gov for more information. Interested parties may also contact the Southwestern Wisconsin Community Action Program at 1-800-704-8555, ext. 209, or c.deckert@swcap.org.

Following is a list of events scheduled in August and September at the Behring Senior Center in Monroe. Senior Center events are available to those aged 55 and older. For more information, call 608-325-3173.

Golf Outing The grass is green and the sun is shining, so it’s time for Bridget’s Annual Golf Outing! This year, we want to shake things up a bit, so we’ll have cool prizes, different rules, a different course, and one great day.

Everyone will play their own game (not a scramble or best ball).

We will play Yellow Ball.

Top two lowest scores will win a prize. There will also be hole prizes for the longest drive, the closest shot to the pin, and the longest putt.

If you do not have a partner or foursome, you will be matched up with a group.

This event is scheduled for Tuesday, August 23, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Bass Creek Golf Course in Footville. Enjoy lunch and beverages in the club house after the event.

The cost is $17 for those 62 and older, and $20 for those under 62.

This fee, to be paid at the golf course, includes nine holes of golf with a cart.

A crowd gathers at a recent WCEC show in Marshfield.

Poe is waiting to become your best friend.

Pet of the Week Car show coming to Rock County Fairgrounds this weekend Poe is a 10-month-old, neutered, male cat. He is an absolutely purrrfect cat who is looking for his forever home.

Sweet, affectionate, and amazingly friendly, Poe is quick to win the hearts of anyone who meets him. With beautiful black stripes and steely grey fur, this young kitty loves to be held and will not hesitate to bury himself in your arms. As a playful, cheerful feline, Poe would do well sharing his space with other furry faces.

The shelter is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and all holidays, with afternoon hours only Wednesday through Sunday. See website: www. greencountyhumane.org for new ar-

Orfordville to host community strength training program On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 p.m. until 5 p.m. and again from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m., the UW-Extension of Rock County will be offering the Strong Women Program, an exercise program for middle-aged and older adults.

Classes will begin Tuesday, September 6. All instructors have been trained in the Strong Women program and have had personal successes participating in and leading strength training. Each class includes progressive weight training, flexibility focus, and balance activities. The program is appropriate for both sedentary and active women Strong Women classes are also being offered in Janesville, Beloit, Clinton, Milton, and Evansville.

Angela Flickinger, UW-Extension Family Living Educator and Strong Women Ambassador of Wisconsin, is coordinating these county-wide programs.

The Strong Women Program was

developed by Miriam Nelson, Ph.D., an associate professor at the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. The program is based on years of research on how strength training and proper nutrition improves the health of women of all ages. “Strength is a critical factor in living healthier, more active lives,” Nelson said. “Our research shows that a program of strength training not only improves bone density but reduces falls, improves arthritis symptoms, and increases flexibility and strength.”

Over 500 individuals in Rock County have participated in the

Strong Women program. Results indicated that these participants gained physical strength, flexibility, balance, and knowledge of nutrition and health. These women have also indicated that they have benefited socially from meeting and getting to know new people.

The cost for the UW-Extension’s Strong Women program is $30 ($35 for new attendees). Men can also participate. Scholarships are available.

If you are interested in participating in the Strong Women Program, please contact UW-Extension for the paperwork and equipment required.

Shingles is a disease that causes a painful, localized skin rash often with blisters. It is caused by the varicella zoster virus.

Anyone who has had chickenpox may develop shingles. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus stays dormant (inactive) in the body.

For reasons that are not fully known, the virus can reactivate years later, causing shingles. Almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States will develop shingles. The risk increases as you get older. About half of all cases occur in men and women 60 years old or older.

For more information, to set up an appointment, or to talk to a nurse about the cost of the vaccine and whether the shingles vaccine is right for you, contact the Rock County Public Health Department at 608757-5440. Medicare Part D accepted.

The Cardinals’ football program will have a familiar face roaming the sidelines in 2016 as Jim Matthys returns as the Brodhead-Juda head coach.

“I’m very excited to get back on the sideline,” Matthys said. “I was involved a little the last few years, but I’m excited to be back with the kids and coaches in a full-time capacity.”

Matthys coached the Cardinals from 2005 to 2013. He led the team to a State Runner-Up title in 2010.

Matthys was also an assistant for nine years before taking the reins in 2005. During that stretch, the Cardinals were crowned State Runner-Up in 2004. Matthys had an impressive record of 69-26 from 2005 to 2013.

Brodhead-Juda went 4-6 overall and 4-2 in Rock Valley conference play last year. The Cardinals won their second-straight conference title.

The Cardinals return the nucleus of their offensive line from a year ago. Brodhead-Juda returns three starters, including tackle Jared Hansen, center Trent Davis, and guard Nathan Lawrence.

Brodhead-Juda will have a brandnew backfield in 2016. The Cardinals will be without their top two rushers from last season: fullback Dylan Kubly and halfback Jake Pickel. Brodhead-Juda also will be without their top outside threat as receiver Ned Slocum has moved on to UW-Madison.

Quarterback Matt Schmitt returns to lead the Cardinals’ offense. In his first season as a starter, Schmitt threw for 1226 yards and 19 touchdowns. Schmitt is one of eight returning starters on offense.

The cupboard isn’t completely empty as fullback Jack Speckman returns with some experience and will be relied on heavily in 2016.

Tight end Skylar Stuckey returns after catching six passes a year ago. Brodhead-Juda will rely on the trio of Brekan Day, Parker Johnson, and Tyler Hoesly to make plays on the outside and be consistent threats for the Cardinals.

The area the Cardinals will have to make significant strides in is on the defensive side. Brodhead-Juda gave up a lot of yards on the ground last season. If the Cardinals want to avoid the late-season struggles from a year ago, the run defense will have to be more consistent.

Some of the key returning players are Hanson, Tyler Davis, Joe Stout, Lawrence, and Speckman.

Hanson will anchor the defensive line for the Cardinals. He was First Team All-Conference a year ago with 34 tackles and three sacks.

Brodhead-Juda returns three starters in the secondary, including Johnson, Day, and Bryson Ils. Ils had 32 tackles in 2015.

Some of the top contenders in the Rock Valley include Evansville, Clinton, and Beloit Turner.

Evansville heads into the season as the conference favorite.

The Cardinals don’t plan on ending their playoff streak. Matthys believes this year’s team can be in the hunt for a third-straight conference crown.

A trio of sophomores has the potential to make a big impact for the Cardinals in 2016. The trio includes Jeff Williams, Seth Allen, and Theo Policastro.

The Cardinals open the 2016 season on Friday, August 19 at Big Foot with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m.

NEW TEST FOR COLON CANCER

A new stool DNA test (Cologuard) has been approved by the FDA. In a recent study, researchers compared the new stool DNA test with the current FIT (fecal immunochemical test) stool test.

Both tests look for hidden bleeding in the stool, but the DNA test also looks for genetic changes linked to colon cancer. The new test detected 92% of the earliest and most curable cases compared to FIT, which detected 74%; however, it has a higher false positive rate, 13% versus FIT’s 5%.

Abnormal results on the DNA tests would then be confirmed by a colonoscopy. Cologuard’s cost is also higher than FIT.

IRS warns of surge in automated scam calls The Internal Revenue Service recently warned taxpayers to stay vigilant against an increase of IRS impersonation scams in the form of automated calls and new tactics from scammers demanding tax payments on iTunes and other gift cards.

The IRS has seen an increase in “robo-calls� where scammers leave urgent callback requests through the phone telling taxpayers to call back to settle their “tax bill.� These fake calls generally claim to be the last warning before legal action is taken. Once the victim calls back, the scammers may threaten to arrest, deport, or revoke the driver’s license of the victim if he or she does not agree to pay. “It used to be that most of these bogus calls would come from a liveperson. Scammers are evolving and using more and more automated calls

in an effort to reach the largest number of victims possible,� said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. “Taxpayers should remain alert for this summer surge of phone scams, and watch for clear warning signs as these scammers change tactics.�

In the latest trend, IRS impersonators are demanding payments on iTunes and other gift cards. The IRS reminds taxpayers that any request to settle a tax bill by putting money on any form of gift card is a clear indication of a scam.

Some examples of the varied tactics seen this year are: demanding payment for a “Federal Student Tax�; demanding immediate tax payment for taxes owed on an iTunes or other type of gift card; soliciting W-2 information from payroll and human resources professionals; “verify-

ing� tax return information over the phone; and pretending to be from the tax preparation industry.

Since these bogus calls can take many forms and scammers are constantly changing their strategies, knowing the telltale signs is the best way to avoid becoming a victim.

The IRS will never: call to demand immediate payment over the phone, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill; threaten to immediately bring

in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying; demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe; require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card, gift card or wire transfer; or ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.

If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and

asking for money and you don’t owe taxes, do not give out any information. Hang up immediately. Contact TIGTA to report the call. Use their “IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting� web page or call 800-366-4484.

Report it to the Federal Trade Commission, too. Use the “FTC Complaint Assistant� on FTC.gov. Please add “IRS Telephone Scam� in the notes.

If you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS directly at 800-829-1040.

Pastor’s Corner

Steps toward healing and unity

BY REV. ANDY TWITON

Next year, 2017, will mark the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, which led to a division within the Christian family. In the centuries that followed, theological disagreement would even lead to conflict and bloodshed. In

the Thirty Years War, for example, it’s estimated that eight million people, both Lutheran and Catholic, died in Europe between 1618 and 1648. While the violence has lessened, the division has remained.

For the last 50 years, however, Lutherans and Catholics have been in dialogue toward seeking understanding and finding common

ground. Following the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, representatives from the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the Roman Catholic Church began meeting to look into what separated and united the two churches. Leaders and theologians from both sides gathered to discuss the Gospel, Holy Communion, the nature of the Church, and

Obituary PAULINE JENSENCOOLEY SCHULZ Pauline JensenCooley Schulz, 89, of Brodhead, passed away on Thursday, August 11, 2016, at Woods Crossing Nursing Home.

Pauline was 12th and the last surviving child of Soren and Adella (Reed) Jensen. She was born on January 14, 1927, in Orangeville, Illinois.

Her first marriage was to Delmar Cooley on January 26, 1946, in Grundy Center, Iowa.

He passed away on June 7, 1970. She then married Harold Schulz on August 29, 1977, in

Rockford, Illinois. He passed away on August 3, 2009.

Pauline worked for APCO and also did seasonal work at the Swiss Colony in Monroe, Wisconsin, for 25 years. She was a member of the Decatur Homemakers and loved working in her yard and garden, doing puzzles, and going out to eat with her girlfriends. Pauline was an accomplished artist and was known for her paintings, especially on old saws and milk-cans.

She is survived by two sons, Terry Cooley, Boulder, Colorado, and Tom Cooley, Brodhead; three step-daughters, Carol (Al) Schneider, Brodhead, Shirl Hedeen, Louisville, Kentucky, and Donna (Gene) Visher, Bluffdale, Utah; six grandchildren, Randy, Regina, Scott, Sara,

Emily, and Brian Cooley; and five great-grandchildren, Hillary, Hannah, Addie, Makenna, and Andrew.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husbands, daughter-in-law, Sherry Cooley, and 11 siblings, Thyre, Ransom, Theodore, Frances, Clifford, Elsie, Alice, Carl, Lottie, Ruth, and Howard.

Funeral services were held at 10:30 a.m., Monday, August 15 at the D.L. Newcomer Funeral Home in Brodhead, with Cal Schaver officiating. Burial was in Afolkey Cemetery, Dakota, Illinois. A visitation was held from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m., Sunday, August 14 at the funeral home.

other topics.

A breakthrough happened in 1999 when the LWF and the Catholic Church released a Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification. Justification is the way Christians talk about how sinners are made right with God. The idea that Christians are justified before God by faith alone apart from works of the law was at the heart of Martin Luther’s Reformation. To put it another way, Luther believed we do not earn justification by what we do; God’s makes us right by grace alone, as a pure gift. For Catholics and Lutherans to find areas of agreement over this central issue was a major step forward.

Last week, another step was taken when the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) voted overwhelmingly at its Church-wide Assembly in New Orleans to accept a new statement put together

by Lutherans and Catholics called “Declaration on the Way.” This document outlines 32 statements of agreement where Catholics and Lutherans do not have church-dividing differences. For example, the Declaration states, “Lutherans and Catholics agree that the church on earth arose from the whole event of Jesus Christ, who remains its sole foundation” (1 Corinthians 3:11).

In many areas of ministry and mission, the dialogue between Lutheran and Catholics have found places of unity, even as they admit there are still differences.

After last week’s vote, the ELCA’s Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton said, “Dear sisters and brothers, let us pause to honor this historic moment. Though we have not yet arrived, we have claimed that we are, in fact, on the way to unity…

This ‘Declaration on the Way’ helps us to realize more fully our unity in Christ with our Catholic partners, but it also serves to embolden our commitment to unity with all Christians.” (Rev. Peder Johanson from Bethlehem Lutheran in Brodhead was at the Assembly, so he will have an even better take on this.)

I do not want to downplay the remaining differences between Lutherans and Catholics, but I am hopeful that efforts toward unity and mutual respect will strengthen the body of Christ on earth. Furthermore, I believe we are doing God’s will when we seek unity with our brothers and sisters in Christ. In John 17, Jesus prays for his disciples before his crucifixion: “I want all of them to be one with each other, just as I am one with you and you are one with me. I also want them to be one with us. Then the people of this world will believe that you sent me” (John 17:21 CEV). Jesus’s final prayer for his followers was that they would be one and not divided. He believed this unity would be a witness to the world of God’s love. Jesus’s prayer for his disciples is also for us: that we would one day be one.
