The Stateline Trailblazers Snowmobile Club of Green County organized a charitable event for Christmas, delivering donated food, Christmas meal and winter clothing accessories to needy families. These gifts were delivered by “Santas on Sleds” on Sunday Dec 22, 2019. They were assisted by Juda School District in selecting these families and hope to make this an annual event rotating between small towns in Green County.

Even though there were no signs of snow, this did not stop them from delivering cheer! Club members delivered gifts via snowmobiles on a trailer.

Even Santa and an his elves got involved!!. Before they knew it children and families gathered street-side to join in the event and sit with Santa on his sled to share hot cocoa, cookies, and candy canes. Juda is an unincorporated small town of around 300 with greater than 85% of children in the school district receiving free and/or reduced lunches.

Stateline Trailblazers snowmobile club has approximately 100 members and is responsible for grooming and caring for the trails in Green County.

Darren Roth, club trail boss, says that their club is responsible for over 125 miles of snowmobile trails,.”Our club feels very strongly about carrying on

Albany School District radio Green County Board station/TV school closing/early release heads into 2020 broadcast over the above radio and television stations. Listen between the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 a.m.

When school has to be closed in the middle of the day, it will be broadcast by the media providers listed above as soon as the decision is made. If possible, students eat lunch with buses leaving right after the lunch hour. When this occurs, morning 4-year old kindergarten and early childhood students are kept through the lunch hour, fed lunch, and sent home on regular bus routes.

There will not be an afternoon 4-year old kindergarten/early childhood bus route on such days.

An alternative to canceling classes will be a two (2) hour delay. If a twohour delay is implemented, school will begin two (2) hours late, with all students (town and rural) report-

ing for classes at 9:50a.m. Morning 4-year old kindergarten and early childhood classes will not be held.

Afternoon 4-year old kindergarten will be held at its usual time. Buses will then travel only on roads where conditions permit.

Any cancellations of athletic or extra-curricular events are also announced by the media providers listed above as soon as the school has final word on them. Therefore, it is advisable in inclement weather to tune to your local TV/radio stations for information. Although the school appreciates road condition updates, calling to ask if school is closing early only ties up the phones, making necessary calls impossible to complete. Please do not call the school, instead we ask that you listen to the radio.

Measles vaccination is important for all ages

By VickieMarie Cloutier, MD, FAAFP MERCY HEALTH

Measles is a viral infection that causes high fevers, cough, runny nose, red and watery eyes, and fatigue. A red rash starts on the face and spreads down the body within days. It is spread through the air by respiratory droplets caused by coughing or sneezing. The virus can stay in the air up to two hours, making it a very contagious illness that spreads rapidly.

Symptoms start one to two weeks after exposure. Measles can be serious.

Complications can include ear infections, diarrhea, pneumonia, encephalitis

Vaccination is key. The mumps, measles and rubella (MMR) vaccine has been studied extensively and has been found to be safe and effective.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends infants six months and older receive a MMR vaccine at least two weeks before international travel. If an infant receives MMR vaccine prior to 12 months old, the child will still need routine immunization at 12 months with a booster at ages four to five.

TINA AST Tina Ast, age 45, passed away unexpectedly on Dec. 18, 2019. Tina was an extremely beautiful woman who met all of life’s challenges with strength of will and determination. She loved arts and crafts and was incredibly creative.

She always seemed to know exactly how things fit together into a piece of art. This was extremely evident in her recent discovery and joy of gardening.

That she loved and brought the entire family together goes without saying, but most especially she cared for and lover her two sons, Kevin (20) and Carl (23). She was very proud of both her children. She was always there to help her family and friends whenever they needed her. She was amazing at planning family gatherings and coming up with way to make it fun for everyone, like a white elephant exchange every year. Her absence has already affected everyone she knew and she will be missed more than words can say.

Tina is survived by her two boys, Kevin and Carl; her mother, Maxine Murray Ast; three siblings, Thomas (Trudy) Ast, Timothy (Corina) Ast and Teresa Ast; her significant other, John Triggs and several nieces, nephews and other relatives.

Tina was preceded in death by her father, Duane Carl Ast and both her maternal and paternal grandparents.

A party to celebrate Tina’s life is pending.

LARRY (RED) CHARLES CLARK Larry (Red) Charles Clark left us surrounded by his loving family on Dec. 14, 2019.

This strong man wasn’t able to fight his lingering

illness any longer. Larry was born on March 23, 1947 to Margaret (Goeke) and Charles Clark in Monroe, Wisc.

Lived his entire life in the Davis, Durand area. He graduated from Durand High School – Class of 1965. His early years he worked for various construction companies and later became a teamster truck driver (known as Wilbur) retiring after 30 years with Teamster Local 325.

Larry was a past Volunteer Fireman and Member of the 1st EMT for the Durand Fire Dept. through OSF, loved to do the water fights in various towns; past Member of the 1st Winnebago County Water Rescue and Recovery Team ,past Treasurer of the Northern Illinois Firemen’s Association; past Member of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ where he served as board president and also numerous committees.

His love for sports started with coaching slow pitch in the Durand/ Davis area, then he became a very vocal and supportive Durand Bulldog fan for his 3 children (Chris, Craig and Kelli). It then continued even greater with his 5 grandchildren – McKenzie and Hailey – when he became a Stillman Valley Cardinal,

and a Dakota Indian fan for Justin, Katie and Josh. He was able to attend State Football Championship games for all three of these schools and a track state meet. And then there was our blessed singer, Hailey, whose voice brought tears to his eyes many times. He would say – What a gift to have these grandkids!! He could proudly state he hardly missed any of these kids’ events and he loved every minute of it! Not only sports did he support , but their academic accomplishments and military as well. He was one Proud Grandpa!

He was a fun-loving character.

May all who knew him remember him for that with his laughter and smile. He loved the hayrides to which he would proudly drive his JD 70 (an avid fan of the green and yellow); pool parties, campouts, parades with his team of Haflingers, family trips, and the list goes on and on with many lasting memories.

He will be missed by his high school sweetheart Debbie of 51 years – married on June 1, 1968 and his sons- Chris (Jessie)-Rock City, Craig – Orangeville and daughter -Kelli Horton-Davis. After these three blessings to their family,

along came his grandkids – Dr. Justin (Sam) Clark of DesMoines, IA, Katie and Josh Clark of Rock City, McKenzie (Casey) Horton of Roscoe, Il and Hailey Horton of Davis and a great granddaughter Charlotte (Charlie) Clark of DesMoines, IA. Also known as Uncle Bub to nieces Dana (Kief), Joann, Julie (Ricardo), and Pam and Uncle to Brian and Shawn. And his many special cousins. Family was very important to Larry and was the focus of his life.

He was most grateful to his doctor friends Kirsten Johanson and Kate Kinney of the Monroe Clinic/Hospital. And the wonderful caring Nurses and Cna’s from the ER department to all of them on Floor #1 east and west wings! They became his family through his illness and he loved them all.

Larry will join his mother and father and brother Terry.

Cremation rites and private services were his wishes. His immediate family will gather for a celebration of his life. The DL Newcomer Funeral Home in Brodhead assisted the family with their cremation needs.

Brodhead teams top Parkview Vikings

By Trenten Scheidegger SPORTSWRITER

Last Friday, the Brodhead Boys’ basketball squad made the seven-mile trip up Highway Eleven to go play former conference rivals in the Parkview Vikings. Despite being in separate conferences, the classic matchup between the Cardinals and Vikings still holds plenty of excitement for the student athletes and fans.

The Vikings came into Friday’s game with just a 3-4 record and were looking to get back to five-hundred as they faced off with the Cards.

Brodhead, however, had a 3-3 record.

IR

Coming in off a loss to the Evansville Blue Devils, the Cardinals looked to bounce back and get the advantage in their win column once again.

In what was expected to be an even matchup, the Cardinal defense managed to give the Viking’s offense fits all night as they held them to just 45 points. Once again, the Brodhead offense was impressive from deep which helped them create space on the scoreboard as they eventually went on to win 68-45.

The Cardinals will be back on their home court this Thursday, when they host Monticello. The Ponies are currently undefeated on their season.

Lady Cards show strength Prior to the boys’ game, the Brodhead girls also competed against the Vikings in Parkview. Just like with every sport, the matchup brings back those old rivalry feelings. The Lady Vikings came in as underdogs as they held just a 2-5 overall record. The Brodhead girls, who have exceeded expectations thus far, came in at 6-2 as they looked to get five games above five-hundred to improve their winning percentage.

Brian Kammerer and his squad wasted little time in this one. The offense was in rhythm and the defense was airtight as the Lady Cards

4-3 and the girls at 7-2, it appears both Brian Kammerer and Tommy Meier are on pace to develop improved, winning programs for Brodhead basketball. With both squads loaded with youthful talent and the opportunity to develop these athletes, both coaches can implement in-depth systems as well as establish a winning mentality and a desire to get better for the younger kids that will eventually join the varsity squads.

Obituary GLORIA MARGARET (LUNDE) HAROLDSON Gloria Margaret (Lunde) Haroldson, age 95, departed this life on Thursday, Dec. 19, 2019 at Sunset Ridge Assisted Living in Jefferson, WI. She was born on April 12, 1924 in Brodhead, WI, the daughter of Tilman and Gladys (Bliss) Lunde. She graduated from Brodhead High School in 1942, attending Milton College for a short time studying music/ opera and working at the Bank of Brodhead before she married Curtis R. Haroldson on July 20, 1946 at her home in Brodhead. They farmed in Avon Township for over 27 years and raised four children.

She returned to work at the Bank of Brodhead in 1967 and worked as a head teller, assistant cashier and personnel officer until her retirement in 1986. They moved from their farm into Brodhead in 1973 where she lived until 1999.

Gloria was an active member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Brodhead. She served on many committees and also directed various church choirs for many years. In the community, she was a member of the White Gift.

Music was a huge part of her life, as she sung many solos, played piano and directed choirs.

She enjoyed music, traveling, reading, crossword puzzles, discussing politics, watching the Badgers and Packers, and attending

Haroldson reunions. Gloria enjoyed spending time with friends and family, especially grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Curtis preceded her in death in 1997, after which she moved to a retirement village in Rockford, IL in 1999. She enjoyed many of the activities there including being the Peterson Meadows Choir Director at the age of 80. She was also a member of Alpine Lutheran Church.

Gloria is survived by her children, Alice (John) Guld, Barb (Craig) Shelton and Dave (Ann) Haroldson; 10 grandchildren; 18 great grandchildren; two sisters, Evelyn Williams and Sharon Homernik; brother-in-law, Paul (Carole) Haraldson and many nieces, nephews and other relatives.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Curtis Robert Haroldson in 1997 and a son, Robert Curtis in 2007.

The family would like to thank the staff at Sunset Ridge Memory Care, Care Wisconsin and Rainbow Hospice for their loving care and support they provided to Gloria and her family and for all the numerous hugs that brought a smile to our mom during that time.

A memorial celebration of Gloria’s life will be held at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 405 East 9th Avenue in Brodhead on Friday, Jan. 3, at 11 a.m. Pastor Peder Johanson will officiate. A visitation will also be held at the church on Friday from 10 a.m. until the time of service.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be directed to the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in her memory.

The DL Newcomer Funeral Home in Brodhead is assisting the family.
