School decisions related to inclement weather

By Lenny Lueck

DISTRICT ADMINISTRATOR

As we enter the winter weather season it is important that families prepare for inclement weather situations. From a school perspective, there are two scenarios that involve decisions related to inclement weather. The first is when students are in school. The second is when school needs to be started late, closed early, or canceled altogether. The School District of Brodhead realizes the seriousness of these decisions and the ramifications they have on students, parents, and staff. These decisions involve a lot of consideration and communication.

Deer hides for Lions Camp It’s deer hunting season!

If you are a deer hunter and want to put your deer hides to good use, the Brodhead Lions Club is sponsoring a Deer Hide Collection at Brodhead Veterinary Medical Center, W1175 Highway 11/81.

Brodhead, WI. All proceeds from the deer hides will be used for the Wisconsin Lions Camp to help serve the needs of others. The Wisconsin Lions Camp began in 1956 and has been dedicated to providing a quality camping experience for people with disabilities. There is no cost for participation in the summer camp program, so contributions are vital to the operation of Lions Camp.

Please help by donating your deer hides. For more information, contact Lion Ted Mertens of the Brodhead Lions Club at 608-558-1198.

The first scenario is when students are in school. It is important for parents to remember to dress their child appropriately for winter weather conditions. Students should have heavy clothing, winter jackets, hats, gloves, boots, and other outdoor winter clothing parents feel necessary.

Younger students that have recess time should have snow pants/outfits as well. Student recess time will be outside unless the weather prohibits such activity. The Principals will make a decision as far as outdoor recess is concerned. When deciding to go outside or not, factors such as temperature and wind chill will be taken into consideration. As a general rule, if the temperature (including wind chill) is above 0 degrees Fahrenheit for the noon recess, students will be going outside. Morning and

afternoon recess will be at the discretion of the teachers, but the general rule of 0 degrees Fahrenheit will be used as well.

The second scenario is when schools have to start late, release early, or be canceled because of inclement winter weather. There are a number of factors and people involved with this decision. The two main factors considered are road conditions and temperatures. When considering these decisions, the Superintendent communicates with the Transportation Company, other area schools, local/county Law Enforcement agencies, and local/county Highway Departments as well as the local and national weather services.

There is no exact amount of snow or ice that determines a delay, release or cancellation. As far as temperatures,

the National Weather Chart is used as a guide. Although not concrete numbers, typically, minus 25-degree Fahrenheit or minus 35-degree wind chill would be the decision point.

Considering what other local districts are doing is a factor as well.

Weather predictions also play a role in the decision to close schools.

If the weather looks like it may improve, then the decisions to delay the start of school or keep students in school may be wiser. If the predictions show that it may get worse, then early release or closing school may be necessary. No matter what the weather scenario is, safety is always a key factor. It is important to

remember that parents always have the right to keep their child(ren) home. Information on school closings can be found on the local television and radio stations. Brodhead Schools also use an instant message system to notify parents of these situations as soon as decisions are made.

This system sends out a text message, voice message, and email notification. It is important that parents check the message before calling the schools. There is a high volume of calls during these times so checking the message before calling saves a lot of time for both the parent as well as the schools. Hopefully everyone has a safe winter season.

Janesville Woman’s Club wins requested funding in national preservation competition Compiled by Tony Carton EDITOR

American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in collaboration with Main Street America, announces Janesville among the winners of the 2019 Partners in Preservation: Main Streets program. Overall, the 20 competing sites garnered more than 1.1 million votes during the period, making it the largest Partners in Preservation: Main Streets voting campaign to date.

Twenty historic sites participated in the public voting campaign to

win a share of $2 million in preservation funding from American Express. This year’s Partners in Preservation campaign placed special emphasis on historic buildings and sites that celebrate the contributions of women in communities across America to honor the upcoming 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing women the right to vote.

This year’s Partners in Preservation campaign placed special emphasis on historic buildings and sites that celebrate the contri-

butions of women in communities across America to honor the upcoming 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing women the right to vote.

The Janesville Woman’s Club sought funding for the renovation of the Janesville Woman’s Club Building and the organization won their full requested funding of $79,330 as part of the national 2019 Partners in Preservation campaign.

Built in 1928, the Janesville Woman’s Club Building has served women’s organizations and provid-

ed countless hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars for scholarships and services in Janesville.

More than bricks and pillars, the building was an anchor in an era of new political clout; a safe roof during wars and strife; a window into the community’s needs; and a grand entrance into a country of greater gender equity and racial justice.

Grant funding will help reinforce the building’s aging foundation and repair its entrance, renewing its life for another century of women who will continue the tradition of service to others.

The Janesville Woman’s Club won this grant after a robust fiveweek campaign. More than 1.1 million votes were cast online and over the period but remains substanat on-site events by people across tial, at $765 million.

Schools, counties lower retiree health care liabilities

BY WISCONSIN POLICY FORUM

In the past five years, Wisconsin’s largest school districts and counties together shed more than $779 million in potential costs for health benefits for their retirees.

Though these largely unfunded liabilities still total a projected $3.26 billion, there has been progress in addressing them by schools and local governments including Milwaukee Public Schools and Racine County.

In a recent report, the Wisconsin Policy Forum found net obligations for retiree benefits excluding pensions have fallen since 2013 for most of the state’s 15 largest school districts and 10 largest counties.

The state’s largest county is a notable exception. Because of more conservative assumptions, projections of Milwaukee County’s unfunded commitments to provide health and life insurance to retirees rose $210.7 million between 2013 and 2018, to

$1.35 billion, not including the county transit system.

RELATED: See more Fiscal Facts from the Wisconsin Policy Forum Over the past several decades, many local governments in Wisconsin made the commitment to pay some or even all of their retirees’ health insurance costs — obligations known as “Other Post-Employment Benefits” (OPEB). Since then, the size of these projected liabilities has shot up along with the cost of health care, but local governments have set little or no money aside to cover these future costs.

The largest school districts report their projected OPEB liabilities fell to a total of $1.31 billion, a decrease of over $930 million, or 42%. Nine of the 15 districts have seen their expected commitments fall since the 2012-13 school year. The estimated liability for Milwaukee Public Schools has dropped by nearly 45%

the country, with the Janesville site winning the most amount of votes.

“As we anticipate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, that gave women the right to vote in this country, this campaign highlights the many contributions women have made to our country and the places where they made history,” said Katherine Malone-France, Chief Preservation Officer at the National Trust for Historic Preservation. “As these sites demonstrate, women have founded lasting organizations like the Girl Scouts, uplifted ideas of conscience like the author Harper Lee, and have built stronger communities across the United States. We look forward to seeing these sites thrive for years to come and are honored to have played a small part in their history.”

Don’t be fooled by Juul’s new flavor stunt

and harder to quit, especially for youth.

Do you work in schools or with young people? If so, talk about how you’ve seen teens dealing with addiction. If you’re a former smoker who used menthol products, talk about the difficulty of quitting. Bottom line: explain why it’s important for all flavors to be taken off the market.

It’s up to all of us to end the youth e-cigarette epidemic. There are resources to help youth quit e-cigarettes. The Wisconsin tobacco quit line provides free help to youth ages 13 and up, and encourage teens to call at 1-800-quit now (784-8669).

Green County Board to hold budget vote

By Erica Roth DISTRICT 24 REP.

On Nov. 12, 2019, at 7 p.m., the Green County Board will reconvene in the County Board Room of the historic courthouse on the square in Monroe to discuss and vote on the Green County Budget for 2020.

The supervisors were given a copy of the proposed 2020 budget at the October County Board meeting with the intention they would study it and look it over. This is my fourth year witnessing and being part of the budget process as a supervisor, and as usual, I am impressed by the sincerity and dedication with which our departments and county employees take this task.

The Budget is a document that embodies the fiscal realities of Green County. As the state shifts more and more of its responsibilities to Wisconsinites to the shoulders of the counties, and shackles the means by which those services and responsibilities can be funded, our counties are facing severe shortfalls. In the face of these shortfalls, we must do more with less. Continuously. And this creates stress that can erode both the fabric and function of local government. Our towns and villages are experiencing the same; this is not unique to counties.

Hard decisions, dedication, and creative solutions have resulted in the proposed 2020 budget. For the first time since I have been on the board, it looks like the General Fund will actually grow. There will be money removed from the

fund, but the reimbursement to it is expected to be larger than the withdrawal. Not by much, but it is better than reducing the General Fund every year. That is simply unsustainable. The actual operating costs for Green County are $21,100,937.

The net tax levy is $17,404,377. In order to bridge the gap, $2,928,925 from 2018 sales tax revenue and $767,635 from the undesignated General Fund will be used. An estimated $1,211,609 is expected to be returned to the General Fund at the end of fiscal 2019 that was unused by departments. The net effect to the General Fund will be an increase of $443,974.

If you have questions about the budget or other county matters, please contact your supervisor. Each of Green County’s 31 supervisors represents a unique district. You can find information on the county website at www.co.green.wi.gov.

Please keep in mind also that all of the county board seats are up for election/re-election this April; the process to run for a seat on the board begins in December. You can contact our County Clerk if you are interested in running or have questions about the process.

All meetings are posted and open to the public. You can find meeting information as well as agendas and minutes on the county website.

I represent District 24 - the Town of Albany and the Southeast corner of the Town of Brooklyn. You can reach me at 608-371-9074 or eroth@greencountywi.org.

MOCK INTERVIEWERS NEEDED The Juda High School Senior Seminar Class will be participating in mock job interviews. They are trying to set up interviews that are not conducted by Juda School staff but instead conducted by people from our community.

Interviewers will be provided an

interview envelope that will have a Job Advertisement (a job that the student is interested in interviewing for) as well as a resume, cover letter, and references. The interview envelope will also have a grading rubric and possible interview questions.

We encourage interviewers to come up with their own interview questions that apply to the job that the student is interviewing for.

This year the mock interviews are planned for the week of November 18. Mock interviews will be given one-hour time slots, 8 to 9 a.m., 9 to 10 a.m., 11 a.m. to noon, 1 to 2 p.m. and 2 to 3 p.m. It would be great if interviewers could interview more than one student and be here for a morning or an afternoon.

If you would like to be an interviewer or know anyone who would, please have them contact Sandra Einbeck at einbeck@judaschool.com.

To earn points, students will need to show up to meetings and bring fundraising and field trip ideas.

SENIOR OF THE WEEK The senior of the week this week is Trent Anderson. His favorite high school memory is when he convinced Zach Ammon to believe there are 4 gallons in one pint. His favorite teacher is Mrs. Bredeson because

she’s very relaxed. Trent’s future plans are to go to UW Madison for a degree in engineering. His favorite school lunch is soup and grilled cheese day. If he won the lottery he would invest it to make more money and buy his parents everything they wish for. If he could live in one US state for the rest of his life, it would be Colorado “because they have amazing skiing hills and the climate is beautiful.”

TEACHER OF THE WEEK This week’s teacher of the week is Alex Kloepping. He is Juda’s new science teacher who teaches Physical Science, Biology 1 and 2, Chemistry, and Medical Chemistry.

He graduated from UW-Whitewater, and this is his very first year teaching! In high school, his favorite class was Chem 3, which is an advanced chemistry class. His favorite animal is an alpaca.

MATH TEAM The Juda Math Team had its meet at Platteville recently! Results will be posted in next week’s issue.

MATH DEPARTMENT The Algebra students are working on expressions and starting to learn how to calculate the volume of prisms. Engineering students are continuing to make props for the musical and starting PLC (programmable logic controller) programming. Geometry is beginning to learn parallel and perpendicular lines. In pre-calculus, students are continuing to learn mother functions. In calculus, students are continuing with derivatives and starting related rates.

SENIOR SEMINAR The students in Mrs. Einbeck’s Senior Seminar class are learning about applying for jobs and the process of creating an application.

Recently students have each found a job advertised in the profession the student desires to pursue. Students then created mock resumes and cover letters to sharpen their skills and prepare them for life after high school.

FFA Last week Ms. Beitz and 9 students went to Indiana for the National FFA Convention. The nine students attending this year’s convention were Aaron Makos, Jayson Starr, Alex Nusbaum, Luke McCullough, Jackie Nusbaum, Jencie Lynaugh, Jordan Lerch, Ambre Lalibert, and Bella Carnes. Remember that the FFA fruit

forms are due Nov. 12.

HOMEWORK CLUB Homework Club is this Tuesday and Thursday in Mr. Anderson’s room. With the start of a new quarter, make sure to take advantage of the help provided.

MENTORING This Wednesday all the mentors got together with their mentees. All the students are working hard. If anyone is interested in mentoring, it’s not too late to go to the office and talk to Mrs. Davis to get the process started.

DOOR DECORATING CONTEST The entire school had a door decorating contest for Halloween.

1st place went to Ms. Cerjack and Mr. Mansfield. Tied for second and third are the kitchen staff and Mrs. Zimmerman. It was a great activity to get everyone in the Halloween spirit. Hopefully, it will become a long-standing tradition.

FOOTBALL BANQUET There will be a banquet to recognize the high school football team on Tuesday, Nov. 12, in the high school cafeteria at 6:30 p.m.

STEAM The high school students started their steam projects last Friday. They are doing a King of the Hill project where there will be ramps and the groups of students have to build a car to dominate the ramp to win.

THE PAW GRAND RE-OPENING The Paw, the small school store run by Mr. Pickett’s classes, open only during the morning and lunch, is reopening this year due to last year’s success. It is selling the same products as last year, and there is a high possibility that there are going to be a few new products for testing to see whether they sell well.

Decatur adopts new recycling ordinance The Board of Supervisors of the Town of Decatur voted unanimously to adopt a revised ordinance and compliance assurance plan governing the recycling of consumer waste. The vote took place during the regular meeting of the Decatur Town Board held on Oct. 21, 2019.

The purpose of revising the current ordinance is to be in compliance with the current Department of Natural Resources regulations and Wisconsin State Statutes. The ordinance that was replaced was outdated and did not conform to current law.

The Town of Decatur arranges for weekly pick up of household trash and bi-weekly pick up of recycla-

ble materials. The new ordinance does not change materials that may be recycled in the normal household containers. Businesses and multi-family dwellings within the Town are also required to comply with the new ordinance. The ordinance and compliance assurance plan are available on the Town of Decatur website townofdecatur.com and any specific questions should be directed to the Town Hall at 608897-4965 or email clerktreasurer@ townofdecatur.com. Additional information regarding recycling may be found at the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources website.

Monroe Clinic to hold ‘Art of Healing’ art gallery talk and tour On Thursday, Nov. 7, Monroe Clinic is hosting an art reception featuring Adria Kaufman. Kaufman is an accomplished artist from Madison, WI. Her work is about highlighting the quick, immediate impressions that we gather when first meeting someone. “I move quickly through the drawing and commit these permanent lines to paper in a reflection of that permanent mark people leave on our lives,” shared Kaufman.

The talk & tour will take place in the Monroe Clinic Hospital Lobby beginning at 4:30 p.m. with a Gallery Talk at 5:15 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.

Monroe Clinic’s “Art of Healing” exhibit provides patients and visitors with an enriched visual experience

proven to advance healing through opportunities for reflection and artistic interpretation. The art will be on display until Feb. 12, 2020.

Since 2013, Monroe Clinic and the Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation have partnered with the Monroe Art Center to provide patients, visitors and staff with quarterly exhibitions in the Hospital building. “Art can aid in patient recovery, reduce the need for pain medication, promote hospital stays and reduce patient and caregiver stress,” said Jane Sybers, Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation Executive Director.

For more information about this event, please visit www.monroeclinic.org.

On Wednesday, Oct. 23, Monroe Clinic welcomed visiting nurse, Yu Lan, as a part of a nursing exchange program. Lan is spending a Yu Lan month and a half in the Madison region to experience both urban and rural healthcare.

Specifically, she is observing similarities and differences, how nursing work is done, rules in nursing and ways to improve care.

She travels here from Shanghai, China, where she is a Registered Nurse in the Geriatric Department at Ruijin Hospital and pursuing her master’s degree of nursing.

The Ruijin Hospital is one of ten hospitals in the Jioatong University School of Medicine with 1,600 beds and over 3,445 staff members.

During her morning at Monroe Clinic, Lan had the opportunity to meet with various departments and toured areas of the hospital, such as Inpatient, ICU, Surgical Procedure Center and Emergency Department.

“While our healthcare systems and insurance are not the same, China and the United States share the same goals for helping others and providing a safe environment for patients,” shared Lan. So far in her trip, Lan is enjoying trying different types of cheese and watching football. Along with spending time at Monroe Clinic, Lan is attending classes at the University of Wisconsin School of Nursing, participating in research meetings and shadowing at other area hospitals.

Wisconsin Addiction Recovery Helpline marks one year of service Hotline connects callers to substance use treatment and recovery option The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and the United Way of Wisconsin announced today that 5,594 people contacted The Wisconsin Addiction Recovery Helpline during its first year of operation. This free and confidential service is managed by 211 Wisconsin under a contract with DHS. It connects individuals seeking help for challenges with alcohol, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, methamphetamine, prescription painkillers, and other drugs for themselves or a loved one to services in their community.

“Too often people delay seeking treatment for a substance use challenge simply because they don’t know where to begin,” said DHS Secretary-designee Andrea Palm. “The Wisconsin Addiction Recovery Helpline is a good first step toward treatment and recovery.”

The Wisconsin Addiction Recovery Helpline is available statewide 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call 211 or 833-944-4673. People who may not be comfortable speaking directly to an operator can text their ZIP code to 898211 or use the live chat option at addictionhelpwi.org “Our operators are trained to listen to the needs of

the caller and help them understand what services and supports may best address their situation,” says Charlene Mouille, executive director for the United Way of Wisconsin, the agency that oversees 211 Wisconsin. “We can also help callers find the best option for their financial situation. Concerns over ability to pay should not prevent anyone from seeking help.”

Operators facilitated 11,940 referrals in the first year, with assessment, detoxification, and residential treatment services the most referred resources.

People can call the helpline more than once, and can be referred to more than one service.

The Wisconsin Addiction Recovery Helpline database includes information on 2,311 agencies in Wisconsin offering 5,357 different addiction treatment and recovery programs, including crisis services, detoxification services, assessment, counseling, day treatment, inpatient services, medication-assisted treatment, residential treatment, outpatient services, and peer supports. Operators also have access to 211 Wisconsin’s database of thousands of community resources to help the caller address other health, social, and financial needs.

The Wisconsin Addiction Recovery Helpline began taking calls Oct. 22, 2018.

History of Veterans Day World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”

The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11 a.m.

The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words: Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and Whereas it is fitting that the recur-

ring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared Nov. 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on Nov. 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.

An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as “Armistice Day.” Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting in its place the word “Veterans.” With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Later that same year, on Oct. 8, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first “Veterans Day Proclamation” which stated: “In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans’ organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose. Toward this end, I am designating the Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs as Chairman of a Veterans Day National

Committee, which shall include such other persons as the Chairman may select, and which will coordinate at the national level necessary planning for the observance. I am also requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive branch of the Government to assist the National Committee in every way possible.”

On that same day, President Eisenhower sent a letter to the Honorable Harvey V. Higley, Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs (VA), designating him as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee.

In 1958, the White House advised VA’s General Counsel that the 1954 designation of the VA Administrator as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee applied to all subsequent VA Administrators.

Since March 1989 when VA was elevated to a cabinet level department, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs has served as the committee’s chairman.

The Uniform Holiday Bill (Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on June 28, 1968, and was intended to ensure three-day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. It was thought that these extended weekends would encourage travel, recreational and cultural activities and stimulate greater industrial and commercial production.

Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates.

The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on Oct. 25, 1971. It was quite apparent that the commemoration of this day was a matter of historic and patriotic significance to a great number of our citizens, and so on Sept. 20, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed Public Law 94-97 (89 Stat. 479), which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. This action supported the desires of the overwhelming majority of state legislatures, all major veterans service organizations and

the American people.

Veterans Day continues to be observed on Nov. 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to Nov. 11 not only preserves the historical sig-

Through Nov. 15, Casey’s General Store is hosting a round-up promotion to raise funds and awareness for Hope For The Warriors, a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a sense of self, family and hope for veterans, service members and military families.

Patrons of the more than 2,100 Casey’s General Stores across 16 states are invited to support Hope For The Warriors by rounding-up their purchases to support military families and veterans.

“We are honored to support organizations like Hope For The Warriors that provide important services to those who have served our country.

We applaud our team members and guests who embrace this campaign as a way to give back and help Hope For The Warriors provide programs that assist veterans and military families in our local communities,” said Jay Soupene, senior vice president of operations, Casey’s General Stores.

In eight years, Casey’s General Stores has raised over $4 million benefiting Hope For The Warriors’ programs that focus on clinical health and wellness, sports and recreation, and transition services.

“Military families are seeking our services more than ever before, as the effects of combat may not fully realize until years after returning home,” said Robin Kelleher, co-founder and CEO/president of the nonprofit organization. “Each year, we’re honored to work with Casey’s, a company that understands the sacrifices made by military members and their families. They understand it takes community and a continued effort to lift up the warriors who have served and still serve our country.”

A state Senate committee held a hearing Thursday on the proposals that bill sponsors argue is needed to protect Wisconsin’s agriculture and dairy industries from what they argue is misleading food labeling.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin has pursued similar legislation at the federal level.

One bill would ban labeling a beverage as milk unless it comes from cows, goats and certain other animals. Another would prohibit selling a product as cream, yogurt or cheese unless it included dairy.

Those would only take effect if 10 other Midwest states approve similar bans by 2031.

A third would ban labeling or selling a product as meat, bacon or similar term unless it included the flesh of an animal. Eleven other states already have such a ban.

These Brodhead seventh graders speak to the importance of freedom.

By Josie Picard Freedom to me is being able to do and say what you would like, and to also be able to go where you please. I am very privileged when it comes to freedom because I could go my friend’s house and go to football games whenever I would like. But others cannot! They cannot go to football games they cannot walk over to their friend’s house because it is for their safety or for public beliefs some people can’t do that. Freedom is a big part of my life and I feel like sometimes I take advantage of it, but I believe it is something we should start thinking about and realizing how grateful we are for it!

By Cheyenne Johnson Freedom to me, is the ability to choose who you wish to marry. To follow any belief system you want, and not be discriminated for it. To feel free in your own skin.

I am glad that people are brave enough to protest for their freedom, that we can express our beliefs and come together to make this country more accepting of who we are. That we are allowed to be prideful of our differences and make a difference in someone’s happiness just by saying, “I accept you for who you are.” Freedom is the ability to love yourself.

By Stella Arn Freedom to me is a lot of different things. For example, because I have freedom, I don’t need to live my life in fear because I know I have people fighting for our country. Freedom is knowing that I have a choice in what I want to do with my life. I am forever grateful that I live in a free country and have the opportunities that I have. Freedom to me is having the power to act, speak, and act however I want. That is what freedom means to me, what does freedom mean to you?

By Zachary J. W. Woodford My favorite veterans are my great grandpa, and my grandpa. My great grandpa had fought in World War II. He, thankfully, had survived and was able to go back to his family with my great grandma and my grandma. He had lived a happy life to the age of 91. Now onto my grandpa, who fought in the Vietnam War. Like my great grandpa, he too survived to go back to his family. He is still around today, so it is awesome when my sister and I go up to my grandma and his house.

Now my cousin is going into the army, and I wish him safe travels and good luck.

By David Masloske My favorite veteran is my grandpa. He is a very funny man and is almost always in a good mood even though life has not been the easiest for him. I am grateful that he was willing to sacrifice his time and life for our country. He can always tell a good funny story about his time in the military. He lives in a nursing home and visiting him is like seeing a perfect example of being happy no matter what

life brings you. I am thankful for him and for the time he gave up for our country.

Thanks Grandpa.

By Lilyanna Gallardo Freedom to me means being able to live your life how you want to. And I would like to think we have the honor of being able to have freedom. We can have these freedoms because of all the people who have fought for us to be able to live how we live. I am very thankful for that! I am thankful that these people who don’t even know half of the people in the U.S. and yet are still out there fighting for us! So, from us at Brodhead Middle school to you thank you.

By Cullen Walker We have a lot of freedom here in America, thanks to all our veterans.

They fought and sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Without our veterans who fought for our country, we wouldn’t have nearly as much freedom we have today. I, and many others are very thankful for our veterans, and I am glad to say that we are the best country on the planet, because of the people that fought for us.

By Heaven Pope To me freedom means to be able to enjoy the bright sunny days, or dark gloomy days, peacefully. To be able to not have a care in the world, even if it’s just for one second. To Me freedom means to walk the streets and just smile because you can, to be able to smile because you want to. Freedom is a gift, that people really do take for granted, but it’s worth the people who take up every moment of light they can. Whether it be by moonlight or sun.

So, I would like to say thank you to any Veteran out there reading this.

Thank You for giving us Our Freedom.

By Olivia Hartwig Freedom to me means having the right to act, speak, and be able to think as we want. Some freedoms we are able to enjoy today are, freedom of speech, religion, and voting freely. These freedoms have come today by our soldiers who have fought countless days and nights for our country. So, we should take a minute out of our busy lives and appreciate what the soldiers have done for us.

By Harper Krattiger Freedom means to me that people fought for us to have freedom and sacrificed their lives to give us the freedom that we have more freedom than anyone else in the world. They give us freedom to have our own opinions to have stores to eat what we want to do what we want.

I enjoy my freedom because people are sacrificing their lives to give us freedom and make everyone happy with their freedom. This means a lot to me because some of my family members used to be my friends and family members are too.

By Max Pinnow To me when I hear the word freedom I think of simple things like Freedom of Speech and other simple liberties like that. We don’t realize how important

that those liberties are until we step back and look. It is so amazing that we live in the United States of America because we have rights that many other countries don’t have. Simple things like being able to speak out about things that you don’t agree with is an incredible freedom whereas in some other countries if you were to do that you could be punished or put in jail. It is an incredible privilege to be able to follow your own religion and go to church that you pick, or you don’t have to do any of it. The biggest thing that I think when I hear freedom is sacrifice.

All of the men and women that have sacrificed themselves for the good of other people is astounding and it really goes to show how much of an unselfish country the United States of America is and we are lucky to be living here.

By Ava Risum What does freedom mean to me? Well Freedom, we don’t just have it, it is something that people lose their lives for us to have. So many people don’t even think about these things that we have. We have the freedom to voice our opinions, we have the freedom to work where we want, we have the freedom to marry who we want unlike other places, we have the freedom to dress how we want (some places only out of school), we have the freedom to attend college, and we have freedom of religion. All these things that we have isn’t just something we get. All these people who work to keep us safe and to have freedom, we could give them a smile or a simple thank you, to make there day better.

By Parker Vanderpal Freedom, to me, means that we live in a country without living under rule from certain people, it means that we can do what we feel without being told what we can and cannot do. We have the freedom to speak and the freedom to have a say in things. In some places, they do not have those same opportunities that we have here. We are so lucky with the things we can do. The reason we have these rights were for our amazing veterans, we would not have this freedom if it were not for them fighting for us. I could not thank them enough for fighting for us and this beautiful country we call home. I am glad that we take a day to honor the veterans who helped fight for our country.

By Jameson Wallin Freedom is being able to make your own decisions. People in America get to choose where we live, eat what we want, marry who we want to marry, and vote for our leaders. Many people do not get to do this, in some countries you do not get to choose your leaders or who you get to marry. In some countries you don’t even get to choose what you eat. That is why we have Veteran’s Day, to honor those that have fought to protect us and our freedoms. So next time you see a Veteran take some time to say thank you for all you have done.

Seventh graders were asked what freedom means to them and their answers show our country to have a bright future.

Response by Tatum Ceslok For me, the freedoms I enjoy are being able to hang out with my friends out in public. I also enjoy going out with my family and not have to worry about anything happening to us. I also enjoy the freedoms that I don’t have to worry about as much when I am by myself. The last big freedom that I feel I have is being able to play sports and go to school. These freedoms are given to me every day by the people who serve for the United States. They help keep our country safe every day and keep everyone protected. So I thank all of the Veterans that are serving and that I served to keep us safe.

Response by Shayleigh Detra What freedom means to me is that everyone treats everyone else with respect, not having people making racist comments, or jokes.

To have the right to speak freely is different from speaking with cruelty. To be free is where people treat others the way they want to be treated. People say that they do, and they tell others too, but they don’t, there’s nothing that I can do, to stop thousands of people, but if I can convince a few people and change myself who knows what can be accomplished. To be free means to have a right to speak your mind be persuasive, have the right to do so as you please, treat others with respect, to prove that you can, to try your absolute best.

Response by Kyla Miller Freedom to me means to have a voice and rights. In many countries around the world Women do not have rights, for example, in Saudi Arabia women just now can drive and attend public sporting events. I’m so grateful for our soldiers who risked their lives so that we could be a free country. There are a lot of things that I have and can do that many others may not be able to do. For instance, we have the right to vote, women as well. In Afghanistan women must ask permission to leave their home unless its urgent. I’m very grateful that there are people who will risk their life just to make the citizens of America safe.

These seventh graders responded beautifully to the question. “Who is your favorite veteran and why?”

Response by Grace Welbig When I think of Veteran the words “brave” “strong” and “amazing” veterans risk their lives for us when they don’t have to. Without them we wouldn’t be where we are today, they are the reason we can do almost everything we do today. I have heard and seen that what they do and see can traumatize them and make them scared to be out in the real world without worrying what bad can happen. Thank you for risking your life for us.

Response by Madilyn Brown My favorite veteran is my grandpa Bob because he was in the army and I didn’t get to see him before he passed away, he served in the National Guard. He was my hero. He made me feel like if he could serve in the National Guard, I could get a shot from the doctor or do hard homework and stuff like that. Even though I never got to see him but all the stories I’ve heard he was a true hero. He was the sergeant of a professional football player. In conclusion, even though I did not get to see him I see him in my heart he was my hero.

Response by: Brooks Malkow My grandpa is my favorite veteran, because he served for our country. He may have only been there during peacetime, but he is brave and strong. He served for 6 years and he tells me stories of where she went. The adventures they take are just amazing it has to take good courage to do some of those things. He is now fighting against his health and he’s doing a good job like he did serving our country. He is now one of my role models because I want to be as strong, and as brave as him. Thank you, grandpa.

Response by: Clayton Elliott My Favorite veteran is my Grandpa, Clayton. He served in Vietnam.

I’ve heard my grandpa was a cool guy and would do anything for anyone. My grandpa Clayton died in 2002 at the age of 51, from brain cancer. He enlisted into the United States Marine Corps and served for 27 months in Vietnam. I would do anything to see my grandpa again and just to spend endless amount of time with my grandpa. I love you Grandpa, Thank you for your service!

Statutes, will be held for the followClass II ing purposes:

To: Landowners in Rock County During October 2002 and amendment thereto during 2013, the State of Wisconsin adopted the Statewide Agricultural Performance Standards and Prohibitions. In agricultural areas of Rock County, there are now limits on the allowable soil erosion from cropland, requirements that animal waste be properly applied to fields or stored in a way that minimizes threats to surface and/or groundwater, and requirements for the diversion of runoff around barnyards, feedlots, and storage facilities. Amendments include the use of a phosphorus index and a tillage setback from surface waters.

Rock County, as required by Wisconsin State Statutes, is in the process of updating the Land and Water Resource Management Plan, which identifies how, when and where the Rock County Land Conservation Department will implement the Performance Standards.

All agricultural land must comply with these standards. Landowners may be eligible for cost sharing to implement needed practices.

A Copy of the DRAFT Rock County Land and Water Resource Management Plan can be viewed on the web at: http://www.co.rock.wi.us/images/ web_documents/departments/ land_conservation/Land_ and_Water_Resource_Plan_20 19_draft_October_2019.pdf or at the Land Conservation Department Office, 440 NUS Hwy 14, Janesville WI 53546 between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm.

Monday through Friday. Also, a limited number of copies will be made available to producers at no charge.

Do you want to play Santa Claus this Christmas? Now is the time to do just that. The Mitten Tree project was founded by Susan Welch of the Optimist Club several years ago. Families who have difficulty providing gifts for their children who are in the 8th grade or younger and who reside in the Brodhead school district are eligible. Applications can be picked up from October 24 – Nov 9 at the Bank of Brodhead, Sugar River Bank, Albrecht Elementary School, Brodhead Middle School, or the Brodhead Public Library.

Complete the form and drop it off in the special Mitten Tree “mailboxes” at one of these locations by Nov 9.

People who want to play Santa Claus may pick up a mitten at the Bank of Brodhead, Sugar River Bank or the Brodhead Public Library starting on Nov 18. The mitten will indicate the child’s age, sex, clothing size and the child’s favorite toy or game. Both the recipient and the donor will remain anonymous.

After purchasing the gifts from the child’s list, the gifts should be wrapped with the mitten attached and returned to one of the banks or the library by Dec 9.

The parent or legal guardian must pick up the gifts on Sat. Dec 14 between 9 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Bank of Brodhead Community Room. If the parent is unavailable at this time, they may have someone else pick up the gifts with a signed note from the parent.

Happy shopping and let’s make this a Merry Christmas for our Brodhead kids. Thank you for your support from the Brodhead Optimist Club.
