Life on the Farm

YF: How would you describe your
the family?
farm to a city dweller? Jessica: We raise registered Nigerian dwarf goats and registered boer goats as part of the kids’ 4H and FFA projects. We also sell farm fresh eggs for home delivery and, periodically, at the Platteville Farmers Market. Half of the barn houses dairy goats and the other half houses meat goats with chickens and a horse somewhere in between. This year we had 15 kids born on the farm; next year we expect to double that. Through careful selection, we retain a few and sell the rest as registered or commercial stock for production and show. YF: How long has your farm been in
Jessica: We began this journey just a few short years ago in 2016 when we purchased a small chunk of land just outside of Platteville. Brad and I wanted to provide opportunities for our kids to learn about agriculture; raising goats and chickens allow for a tremendous amount of education, but don’t require a lot of land. A few years ago, we secured a Wisconsin mobile retail license to legally sell eggs for home delivery & at farmer’s markets. That sure keeps us busy! Through these experiences, the kids are able to learn about animal health care, nutrition, genetics, production, bookkeeping, and even marketing -- all of which will transfer to other

agriculture endeavors when the kids get older. Additionally, the kids have learned a lot about responsibility and working hard. YF: Does your farm have a name? If so, what’s the background on that? Jessica: Brogley Acres. YF: Describe a typical day in your life on the farm. Jessica: The kids and I head out the door heading for the barn just after 7am, seven days a week. Afternoon chores pick right up after school. Jenna also works on a dairy farm five nights a week, so Matt takes the afternoon chores on his own, including egg collection and processing. When Brad runs him to baseball and trapshooting, I pick up
the slack. Kidding season brings extra challenges as we keep a close eye on our expectant mothers and try to be present for all births. It can be tricky to juggle it all when Brad and I both work full-time in town and the kids are super busy, but the teamwork aspect is really rewarding. YF: What would people be surprised to learn about your farm? Jessica: We are constantly learning. Whether it be through online classes, social media, youtube, or local friends, we are always asking questions, researching, and improving how we provide care, increase production, and plan for the future. Our newest adventure this summer will be to collect and freeze goat milk to make soap this winter.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL DAIRY MONTH
4 DAIRY DELICIOUS FACTS ABOUT MILK
1. Have an ice cream sundae party
1. Got milk?
2. Visit a local dairy farm
2. The world loves milk
Milk is the only food that you can survive on alone. It has every nutrient you need.
Invite some friends over for a summer treat as you add some potassium, calcium, and yes, some sugar, to your diet.
The world’s population consumes over 2.1 billion liters every day. That’s enough to fill up 813 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Find out where it all comes from. Go to a nearby dairy farm to learn how the process works from the start.
3. Drink milk to rehydrate
Studies show that milk is superior to water and sports drinks after a workout. Milk is rich in sodium and potassium — both of which help to retain fluids and cause your body to sweat less. In addition, milk contains protein to help your muscles recover quickly.

known as Fainting Goats. Myotonic goats are born with a congenital condition called myotonia congenita. This condition causes their muscles to seize up when they’re startled so their legs stiffen and they may fall over. The stiffness lasts for up to 20 seconds and there is no longlasting harm. The breed originated in Tennessee and are now primarily used for pets or for show purposes. Although nanny fainting goats produce milk for their young, they are not traditional milk or dairy goats.
3. Cows have friends
Dairy cows are social animals. Like people, they will make friends and bond with some, while avoiding others.
4. Cows can produce a ton of milk
4. Pick Up Your Favorite Cheese
Mozzarella, Parmesan, Cheddar, Brie, Swiss, Feta; Provolone Monterey jack...so many Gouda cheeses to choose from!
A cow turns grass into milk within two to three days. Depending on the breed, a cow can make between 25 and 40 liters of milk per day. adno=224046

Dayne Julius Profile by Lisa Banfield
School: Platteville High School
Parents:
Jason and Julie Julius
Siblings:
Blake and Trent Julius
Pets:
None right now, but I had 2 main dogs named Julio and Josie.
Favorite Food: Chicken and Rice.
Q&Awith Dayne Julius YF: What did you want to be when you were in kindergarten? Dane: Although I don’t fully remember, I think I wanted to be a professional athlete in either football or basketball. YF: What do you want to be now that you are grown up? Dane: Now I want to be a Software Engineer YF: Who is your favorite teacher? Dane: My favorite teacher is Mrs. Zachary. She is mainly our Sophomore English teacher but she also teaches AP Literature and brings a really happy go lucky
BLUE NOTE
and cheerful attitude to the class that overall makes it much more enjoyable for everyone. YF: What is your favorite classroom subject? Dane: My favorite subject in the classroom is probably Principles of Engineering or a more hands on science class. Science in general isn’t always my favorite subject because it tends to be very note heavy, but when you get hands-on experience it is very fun for me. YF: What advice would you give to incoming Freshmen? Dane: Get Involved. I know that the advice is super overused and
played basketball your whole life doesn’t mean you actually enjoy it and maybe you’d enjoy swimming or gymnastics far more. So never settle. YF: What is your best memory of school? Dane: My best memory of school probably comes from Pops concert. Pops concert is a super fun student led music concert at the end of each year. You can perform any song you want with any group you want as long as they are in one of the many music classes. This shows so much creativity and is one of my favorite times of every year.

everyone tells you to do it but it is so true. Getting involved is where all of my fond memories of this school are. The highschool does so many cool things but not everyone sees them because they aren’t a part of anything. My extra advice would be to never settle. This is especially important with sports, I’ve always been a more active person and have always been a part of at least two sports but I never really found the ones I loved. This made me want to quit and never have fun but that all changed when I found sports that I actually really enjoyed like soccer or volleyball. Just because you’ve

How finances change when starting a family themselves the following questions to get a handle on their finances. ■ C an I afford big-ticket baby items related to safety and comfort? Items may include a new vehicle with high crashtest ratings, or renovations to a home to provide a safe nursery. If renovations are unlikely, then would-be parents may need to consider the costs of moving. ■ H ave I considered daily child expenses? Diapers, formula, laundry detergent, clothing for each stage of growth, and various other items are necessary when raising a child. Make a list of such items and their potential costs. ■ D o I have adequate health insurance? Pew Research states that expenses for a delivery can range from $3,000 to upward of $37,000 per child for a normal
vaginal delivery, and from $8,000 to $70,000 if a C-section or special care is needed. Consider how much your health insurance will cover and how much adding a child to a policy will increase your rates. ■W ill I need daycare? In order to afford added expenses, both parents may have to work. BabyCenter.com states that a family’s average childcare costs are roughly $755 per month. ■C an I afford life insurance? Once you begin a family it is important for both parents to have a life insurance policy in place to provide for surviving family members in the event of an untimely death. Couples who want to start a family can make the transition go smoothly by figuring out their finances before welcoming a baby into the family.
Protect pets in hot weather Warm weather brings many changes. Warm weather can make travel more enjoyable and affords people more time to comfortably enjoy the great outdoors. It’s best to keep safety in mind when soaking up the sun. That’s important for all members of the family, including pets. Cats and dogs are as susceptible to heatrelated illnesses as their human companions.
Recognize heat stroke Pets can suffer from heat stroke, according to the American Red Cross. Certain breeds of dogs are highly susceptible, particularly those with short snouts, such as pugs and bulldogs. Excessive exercise in hot weather, lack of appropriate shelter outdoors and leaving a dog in a hot car may precipitate an episode of heat stroke. It’s important to get the pet out of direct heat right away and check for signs of shock, which include seizures, a body temperature
of 104 F or higher, stupor, increased heart rate, or excessive panting. Placing water-soaked towels on the pet’s feet, head, neck, and abdomen can bring down its temperature.
Be cautious of hot surfaces Humans wear shoes on their feet for protection, but pets do not have that luxury. Think about how hot your feet can feel when you scurry barefoot across hot sand en route to the shoreline or to cross a deck to get to the pool. When the sun beats down on surfaces, those surface temperatures rise quickly. According to a 2010 study by Liberty Home and Pet Services, at peak afternoon sun and an ambient temperature of 95 F in southern Florida, the temperature of cement was measured at 125 F, red brick at 135 F, blacktop at 140 F, and grass at 102 F. Individuals who think a car is safer for their dog or cat may be surprised the informal study measured 152 F on seat surfaces.
Provide extra water You’ll need to fill your pets’ water bowls more frequently in warmer weather. Be sure to provide constant access to fresh water, even for young puppies who may be learning to house train.
Avoid cutting fur too short If a veterinarian suggests a hair cut may be beneficial for keeping a pet cool or comfortable, resist the urge to shave down to the skin. Having at least one inch of fur will protect the pet from sunburn.

Starting a family can come with a measure of sticker shock, particularly for young couples without much financial history. Since the 1960s, the costs associated with raising a family have risen exponentially, says the financial resource MarketWatch. Between 2000 and 2010, costs rose by 40 percent. Data from Money. com indicates that, as of 2015, American parents spent, on average, more than $230,000 on child costs from birth until the age of 17. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that today that number is closer to $245,000 per child, which does not include the cost of college. BabyCenter.com offers a cost comparison tool to help prospective parents get started on creating family budgets. When mulling the cost of starting a family, prospective parents can ask

Warm weather may bring out a high number of insects and wildlife. Use a flea and tick preventative product and medication to protect against heartworm, which is transmitted through mosquitoes. Snakes, skunks, foxes, and other animals may be roaming around, and a scuffle with your pet can result in injury.

Mooooove over! New adventure coming through! My humans loaded my brothers and I into the box on wheels. When they stopped, let us run wild. I could smell something very unusual, but wonderfully stinky, at this place. I resisted the urge to roll in it until I could investigate. I hear a weird bark that went “Moo!”, so I slinked around the corner to get a closer look. To my “udder” surprise, there was a fenced-in area filled with large 4-legged animals. They had tiny tails and spots all over their fur. I’m not sure why the humans would want a whole group of these things, unless they love the stink as much as I do! Inside the barn, these animals were all lined up with little suckers on their bellies. The cats crowded around in the barn - so made sure to protect these big animals by chasing them away. The humans wiped my paws and put me back into the rolling box. The next stop was the best! The people inside handed us food through a window! It was amazing! The best part was when me and my two brothers each got a cold dish of a white, sweet, wet snack. The humans called it ice cream. I hope I get to go back on this trip again!

Ice cream is a favorite dessert across the globe. The average American consumes more than 23 pounds of ice cream per year, says the International Dairy Foods Association. Even though a trip to the local ice cream parlor can yield many different opportunities to indulge, making ice cream at home is easier than one may believe. Also, creating homemade ice cream can be a fun way to experiment with unique flavors and textures. It is easy to customize concoctions based on what everyone likes best. Making ice cream also is a fun way to bring the family together with the reward of a tasty prize for all of the effort. Here are some tips for making ice cream at home. Buy quality ingredients. Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. Real vanilla beans or extract can produce better flavor than imitations. Select in-season berries and other fruits and, if possible, use organic milk. All of these ingredients will blend together for fresh flavor. Freeze equipment early. Cold equipment is necessary to produce ice cream. Store the bowls of an ice cream maker in the freezer to keep them frozen and ready for when the mood strikes to make a batch of ice cream. Avoid ice crystallization. According to Food 52, a foodie equipment and recipe resource, ice crystals in the ice cream can ruin texture by making ice cream crunchy. Freezing ice cream quickly at very cold temperatures is essential. That means freezing the bowl and keeping the ingredient mix cold. Spinning the ice cream and transferring it quickly to the freezer helps keep ice crystals small. Keep mix-ins small. Mix-ins, like cookie pieces or cake crumbs, can add a different dimension to ice cream. Chill the ingredients and make sure they are small (roughly the size of chocolate chips). Add them after the ice cream is entirely frozen. Watch alcohol usage. Alcohol can create a tipsy ice cream experience, but adding too much can interfere with ice cream's ability to freeze. Therefore, use alcohol sparingly. Store ice cream smartly. According to David Lebovitz, author of "The Perfect Scoop", store ice cream in a shallow container to keep it softer. Also, cover the surface of the ice cream with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Homemade ice cream will last for roughly a week in the freezer. Making ice cream can be a challenging but rewarding endeavor.

Where it all began in 1966! Our festival had its humble beginnings on Father's Day in 1966 when the Darlington Fire Department hosted a canoe race from Calamine to Darlington on the Pecatonica River. Who would have known that lone event would evolve into a four-day festival packed full of excitement for the entire region to enjoy? The competitive canoe races remained a focal point of the festival for over five decades. While the races are no more, many people still enjoy paddling down the scenic riverway each Sunday morning of the festival to celebrate the history of the festival and the life of the Pecatonica River.

Exploring hospice and palliative care
The benefits of skilled nursing facilities
Many aging adults reach a point in their lives when they can no longer care for themselves without some help. Some may just need a little help around the house, while others with more extensive needs may choose to relocate to skilled nursing facilities. Some aging adults may be able to choose living facilities on their own, and many may even dictate their choices as part of their estate planning. In other instances, such as when seniors suddenly become ill and are incapable of caring for themselves, the decision may need to be made by relatives. Families have a variety of options when looking for living facilities for aging men and women, and there are a host of benefits to skilled nursing facilities. · Professional care: Many facilities offer skilled nursing care. Skilled nursing care is administered by licensed nurses and therapists. Skilled nursing facilities, or SNFs, are designed to tend to the needs of residents who require a level
of medical care that goes beyond what assisted living facilities can provide. · Peace of mind: Medical attention at SNFs is available around the clock. That often provides residents’ relatives substantial peace of mind, as they know licensed professionals will be on hand to address their loved ones’ needs at all hours of the day and night. · Criteria: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will only certify facilities that meet strict criteria. When shopping for an SNF, individuals and families should inquire about certification. CMS-certified facilities are subject to periodic inspections to make sure residents are receiving the highest quality care. That’s another factor that should give families some peace of mind. · Proximity: According to Commonwealth Medicine, there are more than 15,000 SNFs in the United States. These facilities care for nearly 1.5 million people. With so many facilities across the country, families can surely find one for a family member in need that’s close to home. Routine visits from friends and family can help seniors make a smooth transition to an SNF and reassure relatives that they won’t have to travel far and wide each time they want to see their loved ones. Skilled nursing facilities can help aging adults navigate daily life when they can no longer take care of themselves. mcg.metrocreativeconnection.com
The opportunity to live independently is a goal for many people as they plan for retirement. While there’s much people can do to plan for financial independence in their golden years, health issues may arise that can make it hard for aging adults to get through the day without a little help. Palliative care and hospice are sometimes mistaken as the same thing, even though they’re quite different. Learning about each option can help adults identify which option is best for them should they one day require daily assistance.
Palliative care Palliative care may be available at any time for individuals with serious and potentially life-threatening conditions. According to Healthline, palliative care is focused on improving the overall wellness of individuals with serious illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, COPD, and other chronic illnesses. Since it is based on individuals’ needs, palliative care can differ from one person to the next. WebMD says a palliative care program frequently aims to ease pain and help with other problems, including improving comfort. It is used in addition to other treatments. Palliative care also can help patients and their families if an illnesss makes it more difficult to get around, leads to depression or adversely affects the family, including caregivers.
Hospice care The National Institute on Aging notes that hospice care may be recommended when it is no longer possible to cure a serious illness or when a patient opts out of certain treatments. Like palliative care, hospice
provides comprehensive comfort care and family support. However, attempts to cure the person’s illness are stopped in hospice. Hospice is typically recommended when a person with a terminal illness has around six months or less to live. When people hear “going into hospice” they may think this means entering a facility. However, hospice can take place in many different settings, including at home, in a nursing home, in a hospital, or even a facility that specializes in hospice care. Both palliative and hospice care bring together a team of health care professionals with special skills. This team can include doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists, spiritual advisors, and trained volunteers. Everyone works together to address patients’ emotional, medical and spiritual needs. The main difference between palliative and hospice care is when each is offered to a patient. Palliative care can be available at any time, regardless of illness stage, prognosis or life expectancy. Hospice care is only available when an illness is no longer responding to treatment. It is sometimes known as end-of-life care. However, a person can come out of hospice care should his or her condition begin to improve. Patients and their families can discuss the options of palliative and hospice care with their health care teams. While these types of care have become much more accessible in recent years, they may not be available everywhere. It also pays to ask questions about health insurance coverage to determine if the costs of palliative or hospice care will be covered by a provider. A long-term care policy also may be an option to cover palliative services.

Hi there! We are Taylor and Kelli. We are two busy momma’s of three who have a passion for nutrition, fitness and overall wellness. Taylor works for the Darlington School District and Kelli works for the Mineral Point School District. We started a business called Foundation Fitness and Nutrition after quickly learning there was a need for a local meal prep service. We wanted to PlYO offer balanced, nutritious Indoor Cycling meals that are convenient! People are incredibly Turbo Kick busy and we want to help them out by saving time on planning, grocery shopping, and cooking. We find most quick meal options to be low in
nutrients, processed, expensive, and leave you feeling hungry soon after. We want to offer that quick option you’re looking for, but fuel your body with everything it needs and not break the bank! Meal prep is something we both did every Sunday for ourselves. We decided to go all in and offer this as a service to the public. We only offer high protein, nutritious meals made with local meat and fresh produce. Our meals are affordable and filling! We prep close to 1,000 meals every weekend. Our social media pages offer different recipe ideas, fitness tips and product reviews. Meal prep is so much more than ‘eating healthy.’ It means you can give your children a healthy supper while running to practice, provide all the nutrients your elderly parents need if they can’t cook for themselves, have more family time at night, eat a meal that will fuel you while you’re on the road, or change your mindset and begin making healthier choices throughout the entire day. You can sign up for meals through our Facebook page @foundationfitnessnutrition. Click the link at the top of our page to see the current menu. We release a new menu every 4 weeks. You are able to sign up for whichever meals you want and then choose how you want to pick them up. We prep all of our meals every Sunday morning. Each customer gets a bag of 5
