ing an urgent legal matter. The calls also came from the same phone number which appears to be an untraceable voiceover IP number likely spoofed from the internet.

In one instance where someone actually answered the phone, the suspect advised a woman she missed a court proceeding and needed to drive directly to the Rock County Sheriff’s Office while staying on the phone with him for the entire drive, which would have

been over two hours in length.

While deputies and investigators from the Rock County Sheriff’s Office sometimes schedule meetings over the phone, they would never require someone to stay on the phone with them the entire time and travel such great distances to do so.

This has happened in the past where suspects have used the names of current Rock County Sheriff’s Office employees in attempts to defraud

Seniors who love fresh produce from the farmers’ markets and roadside stands, but don’t feel it’s in their budget, now have an opportunity to enjoy the produce they have been craving.

The Nutrition Program of the ADRC (Aging and Disability Resource Center) of Rock County still has Senior Farmers’ Market vouchers available. Of the 560 sets allotted for Rock County, there are still 130 vouchers that can still be claimed.

Vouchers worth $35 are offered to eligible seniors to purchase fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs from participating vendors at farmers’ markets and roadside stands around Wisconsin. Each eligible individual may receive vouchers only once per calendar year.

In previous years, vouchers had been worth only $25, and there had been a limit of only one set of vouchers per household. However, this year vouchers are worth $35, and are available to all qualified individuals in the household.

Those eligible are seniors age 60 or older and Native Americans age 55 or older, who have a monthly household income of not more than $2,248 for a one-person household, or not more than $3,041 for a two-person household. Only Rock County residents may apply.

Vouchers are offered on a first come, first served basis. Vouchers will be made available Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (no appointment needed), at the ADRC, 1717 Center Ave., Janesville. Enter at Door 18.

An authorized representative (or proxy) may be designated to apply for certification. Those who are unable to get to the ADRC themselves should call 608-7575428 to request a Proxy Authorization Form. This is the only acceptable document which will permit someone else to receive vouchers on behalf of an eligible senior.

The form must be signed by the voucher recipient and then taken by the authorized representative to the ADRC. There is a strict limit of four proxy forms per representative.

This is a perfect opportunity for Rock County seniors to avail themselves of fresh, local produce that is only available a short time each year. Fresh tomatoes, sweet corn, green beans, peas, radishes, cucumbers, and beets are just a few of the items which may be purchased with the vouchers.

The Nutrition Program, part of the ADRC of Rock County, is an equal opportunity provider.

Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.) should contact the agency (state or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at 800-877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English per Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program Staff Manual (Rev. 02/17).

Warning for scam calls impersonating former RCSO sheriff Over a few days just before July 21, the Rock County Communications Center reported phone calls from four citizens throughout the State of Wisconsin indicating they received scam calls from an alleged “Deputy Sheriff Spoden” with the Rock County Sheriff’s Office.

In each case, the caller is a male with a southern accent who has left messages for some people indicating they need to return his call regard-

Did you know that more than half of women over the age of 50 experience issues with bladder or bowel control? These problems can be slightly bothersome or totally debilitating.

For some women, the chance of embarrassment controls their life by keeping them from enjoying many activities.

Mind Over Matter: Healthy Bowels, Healthy Bladder is a workshop researched and developed through the University of Wisconsin Madison – School of Medicine and Public Health, designed to give women, age 50 and older, the

phone users mind their digital manners: • US Mode: Did you know your smartphone offers customizable settings that will help reset your relationship with technology? UScellular will now help you design your own US Mode settings, so you won’t be distracted by your phone at dinner or during other times when it is best to be courteous to those around you.

• Contain the noise: Sound can travel further than you think, which can create a negative experience for those around you. Set ringers and vibration patterns on low and be mindful of your own voice when you take phone calls or video chat. Apple AirPods, Samsung Galaxy Buds or other types of headphones while you game, take a work call or stream content can help contain your digital noise.

• Watch your step: Don’t be the next person to walk into someone or something while on your phone. It is a good idea to stop walking, look up and be attentive when using a wireless device.

Survey results included: • The place deemed most inappropriate to use your phone is in a place of worship – 64% of people consider that off-limits.

• Only 53% of people believe sitting in a movie theater while on your smartphone is unacceptable, but that is trending up from 47% in January 2022.

• Less than half of consumers think cellphone use during dinner with family and friends (42%), while at a restaurant (23%) or while spending time with their kids (19%) is inappropriate.

“As we rely more and more on our cellphones, we sometimes forget to be mindful and courteous to those around us,” said Christine Paulsen, Director of Sales for Wisconsin at UScellular. “UScellular is encouraging people to put down their phones to better connect with the people who matter most, especially during those times where being on a device could be insensitive to those around us.”

VOL. 84 NO. 3 City •Council.

Mayor Troy Nyman and aldermen Timothy Schadewaldt, Robert Moon and Casey Jones filed notice of non-candidacy papers with the clerk’s office.

Jones is seeking the mayoral seat, leaving the three incumbent aldermanic seats up for grabs by write-in candidates, according to the city clerk.

“At this point in time we are open to registered writeins,” City Clerk Nikolai Wahl said Friday, after the filing deadline.

This isn’t the first time the city relied on multiple writein candidates to fill the Council, according to the clerk. In the 2021 spring election, only one candidate filed nomination papers for three open seats, leaving two spots to be filled by write-ins.

Wahl said anyone who would like to be registered as a write-in can contact him at cityclerk@cityofbrodhead wi.us or stop into City Hall, 111 W. 2nd Avenue, during business hours. Alderman-

Despite the lack of competition, a primary is necessary, as the city is placing a referendum question on the Tuesday, Feb. 15 ballot, asking voters if the city should exceed the state-mandated tax levy in order to maintain services.

Wisconsin National Guard teams up with hospital for patient transport training

By Staff Sgt. Alice Ripberger WISCONSIN NATIONAL GUARD

For the past few months, Wisconsin Army National Guard aviation soldiers have partnered with Aurora BayCare Medical Center to conduct training to provide a higher level of care for critically ill patients being transported by UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.

“This helps train nurses for future partnerships if we ever needed to evacuate a patient using types of transportation that we don’t often see,” said Robyn Merkatoris, a nursing professional development specialist for the intensive care unit at Aurora BayCare.

Soldiers and helicopters from the West Bend, Wisconsin-based Company C, 1st Battalion, 168th Aviation Regiment (GSAB) and Company G, 2nd Battalion, 104th Aviation Regiment (GSAB) – the NOTICE OF PUBLIC medevac assets of the 1st BatHEARING talion, 147th Aviation in MadiPLEASE TAKE NOTICE that son – have engaged in training

a Public Hearing will be held before the Plan Commission of the City of Brodhead on Monday, August 14, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. at the City of Brodhead Municipal Building located at 1111 W. Second Avenue, Brodhead, Wisconsin to consider an ordinance amending the zoning classification of the following described property from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-2 One & Two Family Residential.

scenarios tailored specifically to the critical care flight paramedics, aircrews and the team at Aurora BayCare. Sgt. James Hughes, a flight medic with Company G, said that the cross training is important because of the significant differences between the military and civilian aircraft.

“It’s about setting up for success in the event of an emergency,” Hughes explained.

Maj. Sarah Latza, the operations officer with the Wisconsin Army National Guard’s Army Aviation Support Facility #1 in West Bend, said this kind of training is impossible to conduct internally as an air ambulance company.

“Aurora BayCare’s participation increases our flight medics’ and aircrews’ exposure and capabilities,” Latza said. “It also increases communication and coordination with civilian organizations in our backyard so that when the domestic mission happens – search and rescue patient drop-off, request to

transport a critically ill patient that civilian EMS isn’t able to support – our soldiers and aircrew members and the civilian medical support infrastructure are familiar with each other.”

Wisconsin National Guard Soldiers Capt. John Jenkins and Staff Sgt. Eric Furbee coordinated with Sarah Pearson, nursing director at Aurora BayCare, to make this training possible.

“This kind of partnership is the only way to get this kind of training,” Jenkins said. “Someone brought it up during a field training exercise, and I helped link the teams together, coordinate training, and have gotten to see it come to fruition.”

Latza said the goal is to conduct this training event monthly moving forward.

“This training fully recognizes and supports the level of skill that our critical flight paramedics have been trained to,” Latza said, “and resonates fully with our domestic and overseas mission.”
