Monroe Swiss Singers return to Turner Hall

Turner Hall of Monroe’s Grand Hall has been largely void of Swiss folk music and traditions for almost 3 years.

Yet all that will change this Sunday, Nov. 6, at 2 p.m., when the Monroe Swiss Singers will host its 54th Annual Swissfest. Sharing the stage and pro gram along with the Monroe Swiss Singers are two other Green County staples, the Män nerchor New Glarus and the Jodlerklub New Glarus.

Alphorns, accordions, Swisscoin rolling, Swiss flag-throw ing and yodeling, all perennial favorites, will again be part of the show.

When the Monroe Swiss Singers held its first Swissfest in November 1963, the 19 charter members at that time probably never dreamed the event would still be going strong almost 60 years later. Although some of the faces in both the mixed

choir and the audience have changed over the years, the Monroe Swiss Singers’ annual trademark event remains synon ymous with quality Swiss folk music and entertainment, all for the sake of carrying on the traditions and culture brought to Monroe and south-central Wis consin by its Swiss forbears.

The pandemic proved to be a very challenging time for everyone, particularly singing groups.

It wasn’t until mid-June of this year that the Monroe Swiss Singers once again resumed re hearsals, but with masking and other health safety protocols in place.

Special acts this year will include New Glarus yodeler, Nancy Streiff, accompanied on accordion by David Austin, and the Chörli Edelweiss, a small vocal ensemble that was formed to perform at New Glarus’

175th anniversary in 2021.

The program will also pay tribute to four members of the Monroe Swiss Singers who have passed on since the last Swissfest.

They include Martha Ber net, Ernie Halbheer, Gisela Halbheer, and Jackie Hen nager-Schmitz. All but Hen nager-Schmitz were charter members, with Bernet and Er nie Halbheer being natives of Switzerland, and Gisela Halb heer, of Germany.

Monroe has had a long his tory of Swiss choral groups, primarily men’s yodel quartets and choirs, dating from the late 1800s.

The immediate predecessor of the Monroe Swiss Singers was the Swiss Club Men’s Cho rus, which was established in 1958.

Due to dwindling member ship, female voices were add

ed in February of 1963 and the group came to be known as the Gemischter Chor Monroe.

In 1968, the name was offi cially changed to the Monroe Swiss Singers. Of the original 19 charter members, all except one were native Swiss.

Deborah Krauss Smith, whose paternal grandmother, Emma Schär Krauss, was a Swiss native from canton Aar gau, has directed the group since 1985.

She is also a direct descen dent of Jacob and Elsbeth Stauf facher, two of the original New Glarus colonists of 1845. Pre vious directors included Edwin Schuetze (1963 – 1966), Chris tian Gafner (1966 – 1971), Bet ty Koehler (1971 – 1976) and Marie Power (1976 – 1985).

The group has won many firstplace awards in competition

After a break of more than 2 years due to the pandemic, the Monroe Swiss Singers will return to the Grand Hall stage at the Turner Hall of Monroe this Sunday, Nov. 6, for the group’s 54th annual Swissfest.

Red Cross pre-holiday blood drives set in Green, Rock counties

State staff of the American Red Cross asked last week that blood donors of all types and those who have never given be fore take a time to donate blood ahead of the holiday season.

Red Cross staff expressed concern that the blood supply maintain levels needed going through the end of the year and into January.

People of all blood types are needed, especially platelets and those with type O blood, the Red Cross stated in a press re lease.

The latter blood types being sought are crucially important to blood products that keep hospitals ready to help patients who depend on transfusions.

Prospective donors can use the Red Cross donor app, vis

it RedCrossBlood.org, or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767).

Those who come to designat ed or scheduled blood donation site between Nov.1 and Nov. 22 will receive a $10 e-gift card by email to a merchant of choice.

Details on this incentive are at rcblood.org/perks

Another way the Red Cross is asking for public support is for people to become a volun teer blood donor ambassador for Red Cross blood drives.

Blood donor ambassadors help greet, check-in and thank blood donors to ensure they have a positive donation expe rience.

Volunteers can also serve as transportation specialists, delivering blood products to

nearby hospitals. For more in formation and to apply for a volunteer position, contact Vol unteerWisconsin@redcross. org or visit www.redcross.org/ volunteertoday.

When giving blood, a donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.

Eligibility also requires that donors be 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in generally good health.

High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight re quirements.

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next do

nation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriv ing at the blood drive.

To get started, follow the instructions provided at Red CrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.

American Red Cross shel ters, feeds and provides com fort to victims of disasters. It supplies about 40% of the na tion’s blood.

It also teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members and their families.

The Red Cross is a nonprofit organization that depends on volunteers and donations from

Burtness said that the Church is in a different posi tion than the village as they do not have any storage re quirements.

He said the village would have to have someone here to operate the equipment during the meetings.

Gerber said he didn’t be lieve there would be enough

Gerber said the City of Janesville and Janesville School District offer this and have little attendance.

Gerber said he would con sider it if it became necessary in another pandemic situation.

Motion by Gerber, second ed by Myers-Alstat to deny the request to video tape meetings for public view.

“For 7 years, Sgt. Rufer has faithfully served the Village of Orfordville,” Tuffree said.

“I’d like to thank him for his involvement with the school and youth of this com munity, his time as a court of ficer, and his all-around posi tive attitude.”

Rufer was not able to attend as he was working a second shift in the Village of Clinton.

Phyllis I. Conway, age 91 of Brodhead, died Friday, Oct. 28, 2022, at Monroe Health Services. She was born on Aug. 7, 1931, in Slayton, Minn., the daughter of George and Hattie (Parish) Wentzel. She attended school at Currie, Minn., and worked at Suntree Country Club in Florida for many years, retiring in 1994.

She was a member of the Church of the Nazarene in Brodhead.

She enjoyed spending time with her family and enjoyed doing crafts with the grandchildren. She also enjoyed doing plastic canvas creations, word puzzles, and picture puzzles, also thrift store shopping and going to rummage sales with her friends.

Her favorite time of all, other than with family, was watching pro wrestling with her best friend Nancy Frye. They watched that show every week and knew the names of every wrestler.

The family thanks Nancy for being such a good friend to their mother.

She is survived by her children, Debbie (Steve Runice) of Brodhead, Pam Conway of Brodhead, Steve Johnson of Milton, and Cheryl (Daniel) Tschudy of Shopiere; seven grandchildren; 14 great-

grandchildren; brothers, George (Carol) Wentzel of Troy, Mich.; and Boyd Wentzel of South Lyon, Mich.; a sister, Joyce Simons of Brodhead. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Daniel, Stanley, and Lloyd Wentzel; and sister Betty Wentzel.

Per Phyllis’s wishes, private services will be held. Burial will take place at Greenwood cemetery in Brodhead. Everson Funeral Home is assisting the family.

The family would like to send a heartfelt thanks to Mary Ripper for all she did for their mother. Your kindness to mom will never be forgotten.
