JP Cullen donates $50K to the Nancy B. Parker Scholars program at Blackhawk Tech As three classes of Nancy B. Parker Scholars celebrate the end of finals week, Blackhawk Technical College is celebrating the announcement of a large gift to the scholarship program. The JP Cullen Foundation, the charitable arm of the nationally recognized construction company headquartered in Janesville, has pledged

$50,000 to the Nancy B. Parker Nursing Scholars Program.

The decision to support the Parker Scholars Program is a personal one for the Cullen family. “When my father, J.P. relied on 24/7 homecare, he was cared for by a number of individuals who were CNAs looking to obtain their nursing degree. They re-

ally made a positive difference in his care,” said Mark Cullen, Chairman of JP Cullen.

The Parker Scholars program at Blackhawk launched in fall 2018 thanks to the generosity of the Parker Family Foundation. First-year students can be eligible for a $1,000 maximum award with an opportunity

Average Lottery and Gaming Credit on Wisconsin property tax bills is $184 This month Wisconsin homeowners received a larger Lottery and Gaming Credit on their property tax bills than last year. The estimated $24 increase in the average credit is due, primarily, to lottery sales exceeding estimates, which resulted in a higher opening balance for 2019-20. In 2018-19, the corresponding Lottery and Gaming Credit was $160.

“The Lottery Credit this year is 15 percent higher than last year,” said

Peter Barca, Wisconsin Department of Revenue Secretary. “This is due, primarily, to the Wisconsin Lottery having a banner year, and the credit returned to homeowners is based on Lottery profits.”

Overall, the Lottery Credit distributed more than $271 million to Wisconsin homeowners for property taxes levied in 2019. Last year, that figure was $236 million. Since 1988, the Wisconsin Lottery has provided

over $4.6 billion in property tax relief to eligible Wisconsin homeowners.

The Lottery Credit is shown on tax bills as a reduction of property taxes due. If a taxpayer pays their taxes in two or more installments, the credit is applied to the first installment. The credit is paid by the state to counties or municipalities on the fourth Monday in March. The county or municipality receiving the payment settles with overlying taxing jurisdictions.

for an additional $1,500 in year two.

With another class of scholars set to begin in January, over thirty nursing students will be beneficiaries of the award that targets high-achieving students in the Blackhawk Technical College nursing program.

The purpose of the scholarship is three-fold: increase diversity in the nursing program, improve nursing student retention, and retain nurses in Rock and Green Counties.

“The degree of compassion and outstanding quality of the Blackhawk Technical College Nursing Program is something we hope can continue to have a positive effect on families just like ours in the future.

We are thankful that we are able to contribute to a program that keeps Wisconsin vital and growing,” continued Cullen.

The JP Cullen Foundation is actively engaged in supporting education throughout our region and state through mentorship, internships, and co-ops as well as hosting a large

hands-on career fair for high school students interested in construction.

JP Cullen is a fifth-generation family construction business with more than 800 employees. It is noted for taking on challenging government, education, healthcare, commerce, arts and entertainment, and historic restoration projects across Wisconsin, northern Illinois, and northeast Iowa.

“This generous donation is just one example of the Cullen family’s commitment to our community,” said Dr. Tracy Pierner, President of Blackhawk Technical College.

“They clearly understand the importance of a technical college education, and how our graduates fill essential positions in the workforce and contribute to the economic growth of our region.”

BUSINESS PARK PURCHASE: Motion by Monson, seconded by Hefty to accept the Offer to Purchase for Lot 2 of CSM 2998 in the Business Park in the amount of $23,175 from Jennifer Fasula and Alejandro Arriaga. Carried.

115 NORTH WATER STREET WINE LICENSE: Motion by

Blumer, seconded by Stephan to approve a Class “C” Wine License to Dena Laughlin dba The General Store located at 115 North Water Street with the reminder that more than 50% of the income from the business must come from food sales to qualify for this license. Carried.

property located at 403-2 North Mechanic Street. Carried.

POND STREET EASEMENT: Keepers explained that there is no longer any issue with the mortgage holder for the property located at 401 North Mechanic Street to get the easement on the vacated 132’ of Pond Street, so the village attorney stated that it would be much clearer if we had them sign an easement for the water main that crosses there.

However, the owner previously wanted to be paid from the village to get this easement. No other property owners were paid nor did they even mention it. After a short discussion, a motion was made by Blumer, seconded by Hefty to approach the owner with the easement, but that no money change hands. The village would still purchase the elderberry vines he is requesting. Carried.

SNOWMOBILE TRAIL INTO THE VILLAGE: Keepers explained that all property owners had been asked if they still have no problems with the snowmobile trail crossing their property, and it has been found that they all have been notified. However, there were no signed agreements received. Dena Laughlin suggested that if they want to cross the Highway 59 on to her property, they could do so, as it may be safer. She asked that they be told

this offer. Motion by Monson, seconded by Blumer to approve the Snowmobile trail as it has been for the past years contingent on getting the signed agreements with the property owners along this path. Carried.

BILLS: Motion by Althaus, sec-

onded by Blumer to approve the bills as presented. Carried.

FUTURE ITEMS: Nothing at this time.

ADJOURNMENT: Motion by Blumer, seconded by Hefty to adjourn. Carried.

Parkview exceeds District Report Card expectations Parkview School District’s 201819 WI Department of Public Instruction report card score of 79.3 out of 100 (4 out of 5 stars) was the highest district score for any district in Rock or Green County. If you are interested in reviewing Parkview’s report card in detail or that of another district, please go to the following site: apps2.dpi.wi.gov/reportcards/home.

Specifically, the Parkview School District earned four (4) stars out of five (5) on the state report card from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, issued for the 2018-19 school year. Based on the star rating, Parkview School District exceeds expectations for educating students.

Report cards are issued based on four priority areas: student achievement

in English language arts and mathematics, student growth, closing gaps between student populations, and measures of readiness for graduation and postsecondary success.

Each school in the Parkview School District also received an individual state report card score.

Parkview Elementary earned four (4) stars out of five (5). Parkview Senior High also earned four (4) stars out of five (5) on state report card from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Based on the star rating, PES and Parkview SR High exceed expectations for educating students.

Parkview Junior High earned three (3) stars out of five (5), missing the exceeds expectations category by .3 points. Based on the star rating,

Parkview JR High meets expectations for educating students.

Parkview administers several internal assessments throughout the year to monitor student achievement and target instruction to identified growth areas. The teachers and administration in each school have analyzed the results provided in the report cards and are using the information along with the results from internal assessments to continue advancing the achievement level for all students. The results from the internal assessments are consistent with the results shown on the state report cards.

It is the goal of the District to move each school and the district to the 5-star level for 2019-20.

Monroe Clinic nurse receives DAISY Nicole Timm, RN, a nurse at Monroe Clinic – Brodhead, received the DAISY Award based on a nomination from a fellow nurse. Nicole has been a nurse with Monroe Clinic for four years.

Nicole’s award nomination was written by fellow Monroe Clinic nurses Brenda Schooff and Beth Daniels. “Nicole is always willing and knowledgeable when it comes to patient teaching and compassion.

I know of several times when she has returned calls to patients and encouraged them to come in to ‘just get a hug’ if they’re having a bad day,” shared Brenda.

“Recently, I worked alongside Nicole and a group of amazing Monroe Clinic employees to help save a little boy’s life,” said Beth. “Nicole was calm the entire time and confident in her skills as a nurse, knowing just what to do and say to calm the father’s nerves. She took charge of the situation, providing leadership to her coworkers and taking instruction from providers, doing precisely what they teach you to do in emergency situations. I couldn’t be more blessed to have her working beside me on our team.”

Many of Nicole’s coworkers, family and friends attended her DAISY Award ceremony at Monroe Clinic Brodhead. There, many more stories of Nicole’s extraordinary care, both at work and in the community, were shared with her family and friends.

The DAISY Award is a nationwide program that celebrates the extraor-

dinary clinic skill and compassionate care delivered by nurses every day.

Nicole is one of three million nurses nationwide who represent the largest healthcare profession. Monroe Clinic employs over 250 nurses serving patients throughout Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.

Monroe Clinic asks the community to help spotlight the extraordinary contributions of nurses, like Nicole, by nominating them for the DAISY Award. Nomination forms are available at any Monroe Clinic location and online at www.monroeclinic.org/ daisy.

Monroe Clinic volunteers opens partnership scholarship applications Monroe Clinic Volunteers in Partnership is once again offering two types of scholarships for students seeking a career in the healthcare field. The headline for application submission is Feb. 28, 2020.

The first type of scholarship is for high school seniors. Monroe Clinic Volunteers in Partnership awards four $500 scholarships to graduating high school seniors each year. Two scholarships will be awarded to Monroe High School seniors and two scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors from communities with Monroe Clinic branch sites – Albany, Blanchardville, Brodhead, New Glarus, Durand, Freeport and Lena – or who live within an area serviced by a branch site or who have a parent that is employed by Monroe Clinic.

The second type of scholarship is for continued education students. Applications for five $1,500 scholarships are available for Monroe Clinic’s service area college students. Applicants must have completed at least one year of advanced study (beyond high school) in a health-related field and be a resident of a community with a Monroe Clinic

location or a resident within Monroe Clinic’s service area or an employee or child of a Monroe Clinic employee.

Requirements for both types of scholarships are the individual must be pursuing a degree or certificate in a healthcare related field, have a GPA of 3.25 or higher with an emphasis on science and math, and all applications must be typed. In no specific order, recipients will be selected based on citizenship, need and school & outside activities.

Students who have received a Monroe Clinic Volunteers in Partnership $500 scholarship in the past are eligible to apply for the advance study scholarship. However, an individual may only receive each scholarship once.

Applications are available at www. monroeclinic.org. For more information, please call Dawn Meier, Volunteer Coordinator, at 608-324-1569.
