Music in our Schools Month With the continual threat of budget cuts, it’s important now more than ever to recognize the significant influence music education has on school-aged children. The first National Music in Our Schools month took place in New York back in March 1973, and it’s been growing in popularity ever since. We recognize the importance of music education, so join us as we celebrate this important cause. We have amazing music leaders in our schools at every age level. Suzanne Calhoun at the elementary school, Beth Riesterer at the middle school and Jason Riesterer and Megan Krupke at the high school. Hundreds of students have begun a lifelong love of music due to the talent and dedication of these instructors. Throughout the month of March, we will be sharing stories of music in our school district with you.

There are a number of ways you can show your support for our Music Programs throughout the month of March and beyond.

Join Us For Our...

First and foremost, take a moment to thank our instructors and encourage your kids to do the same. A note of thanks can be exceptionally meaningful during busy and stressful times. These instructors put in long hours for lessons, rehearsals, concert set up, conducting, concert tear down, trips and special events.

A note of encouragement and thanks would be meaningful.

Second, come out and enjoy FREE musical performances! On Thursday, March 12 at 6:30 p.m. the third grade will perform “A Day at the Beach” and at 7:15 p.m. the fourth grade will perform their program called “4th Grade Hoe Down”.

Lastly, musical instruments can last a long time but occasionally they need to be replaced. Presently, the band needs to replace a timpani, the one we have is nearly 50 years old.

If you would like to make a donation to that purchase, please contact Jason Riesterer at the high school or Beth at the middle school.

Another successful Brodhead High School Show Choir “In the Spotlight” event was completed Feb. 22. This year’s event had sixteen schools from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin competing. The great weather brought out hundreds of spectators. Those that attended the event got to enjoy twenty spectacular performances put on by approximately six hundred High School students. The competition was fierce with some very close scores. Results for the Open Division were: Grand Champion – Onalaska, 1st runner up – Hamilton, 2nd runner up – Neenah, 3rd runner up – Dwight Eisenhower, 4th runner up – Chesterton, 5th runner up – Manteno. Results for the Prep Division were: Grand Champion – Chesterton High School, 1st Runner Up – Onalaska, 2nd Runner up – Green Bay Southwest.

An event of this magnitude is not successful without the help of numerous people. A huge thank you goes out to Kendra Kail and Kathy Visger for the hours spent putting this event together. They were assisted by committee members Tammy Gibbs, Thea Engen, and Angie Shelly. Some other behind the scenes workers that were extremely important were Tonya Buttke, Tracy Lueck, and Jim Huffman. We also want to thank Brian Kammerer and the Buildings and Grounds crew for all of their assistance.

In the Spotlight would not be successful without the students, parents, and community as well. Due to a shortage of volunteers, the program

History of St. Patrick’s Day Compiled by Tony Carton St. Patrick’s Day occurs annually on March 17 in observance of the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. What began as a religious feast day in the 17th century has evolved into a variety of festivals across the globe celebrating Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, and a whole lot of green.

St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is one of Christianity’s most widely known figures. But for all of his prevalence in culture, namely the holiday held on the day of his death that bears his name, his life remains somewhat of a mystery. Many of the stories traditionally associated with St. Patrick, including the famous account of his banishing all the snakes

from Ireland, are false, the products of hundreds of years of exaggerated storytelling.

St. Patrick: taken prisoner by Irish raiders It is known that St. Patrick was born in Britain to wealthy parents near the end of the fourth century. He is believed to have died on March 17, around 460 A.D. Although his father was a Christian deacon, it has been suggested that he probably took on the role because of tax incentives and there is no evidence that Patrick came from a particularly religious family. At the age of 16, Patrick was taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders who were attacking his family’s estate. They transported him to Ireland where he spent six years in captivity. (There is some dispute over where this cap-

tivity took place. Although many believe he was taken to live in Mount Slemish in County Antrim, it is more likely that he was held in County Mayo near Killala.) During this time, he worked as a shepherd, outdoors and away from people.

Lonely and afraid, he turned to his religion for solace, becoming a devout Christian. (It is also believed that Patrick first began to dream of converting the Irish people to Christianity during his captivity.)

St. Patrick: guided by visions After more than six years as a prisoner, Patrick escaped. According to his writing, a voice—which he believed to be God’s—spoke to him in a dream, telling him it was time to leave Ireland.

To do so, Patrick walked nearly 200 miles from County Mayo,

where it is believed he was held, to the Irish coast. After escaping to Britain, Patrick reported that he experienced a second revelation—an angel in a dream tells him to return to Ireland as a missionary. Soon after, Patrick began religious training, a course of study that lasted more than 15 years. After his ordination as a priest, he was sent to Ireland with a dual mission: to minister to Christians already living in Ireland and to begin to convert the Irish. (Interestingly, this mission contradicts the widely held notion that Patrick introduced Christianity to Ireland.)

St. Patrick: bonfires and crosses Familiar with the Irish language and culture, Patrick chose to incorporate traditional ritual into his lessons of Christianity instead of at-

tempting to eradicate native Irish beliefs. For instance, he used bonfires to celebrate Easter since the Irish were used to honoring their gods with fire. He also superimposed a sun, a powerful Irish symbol, onto the Christian cross to create what is now called a Celtic cross, so that veneration of the symbol would seem more natural to the Irish. Although there were a small number of Christians on the island when Patrick arrived, most Irish practiced a nature-based pagan religion. The Irish culture centered around a rich tradition of oral legend and myth.

When this is considered, it is no surprise that the story of Patrick’s life became exaggerated over the centuries—spinning exciting tales to remember history has always been a part of the Irish way of life.

Good luck and safe travels to all the students going on the NOLA trip.

ANATOMY This week in anatomy and physiology, students are beginning their in-depth study of the brain. They will begin by classifying the two different hemispheres and their functions. The dominant side of the brain controls the use and understanding of language, while the non- dominant side controls nonverbal functions and spatial relationships such as a child’s use of its senses to observe and receive information about objects and people in their environment. Students will then move into locating the different brain lobes.

Fun fact: the brain pumps about three cans of pop per minute!

BOYS BASKETBALL Last Tuesday the Varsity played their final game of the season against Central Wisconsin Christian.

They ended with a tough loss to the number 5 ranked team. The final score of the Varsity game was 3671. The leading scorers from Juda were Trent Anderson with 15 points, followed by Gavin Kammerer with 9 points, and Ward Steinmann with 7 points.

TEACHER OF THE WEEK The teacher of the week is Mrs. Debra Fox, who is in her third year of teaching at Juda High School.

She first joined Juda to help fill a vacant position for a band teacher.

Fox then helped with the choir the following two years. Her inspiration to become a teacher sparked from her father’s influence. Along with her father being a teacher, she also was influenced by her high school music teachers. Her favorite part of teaching is witnessing her students experience the “aha” moment when they finally accomplish something they thought they could not achieve.

Fox’s favorite pastime is traveling and experiencing the world.

Farmers of the Sugar River want to encourage farmers to evaluate their land for soil health. LWCD & NRCS staff are available to assist in checking your soil and samples can be submitted through AgSource.

Fall of 2019 was less than ideal to get cover crops established. An overlooked planting window for cover crops is spring. Maybe this year will be it!

Parkview Boys close season strong The Parkview Vikings boys’ basketball squad wrapped up their successful season last week, when they faced off with the Pardeeville Bulldogs. It was a long road to get there, however, for the Vikings. They began their season with a rough 1-4 record after losing their third game in a row. They were able to bounce back with two wins in a row over Black Hawk and Abundant Life. The first half of the season was a roller coaster for Parkview, bringing many ups and downs in a streaky fashion.

It was in the second half of the season, however, where the Vikings really caught fire and started playing their best basketball. Their last regular season loss came in a late January matchup where they fell to Deerfield by a score of 75-65. Then, the Vikings sat with a record of 7-9 and appeared to be a struggling team fighting to stay around five hundred as the season went on. That was far from the case, though, as the Vikings went on an incredible run to end the 2019-2020 campaign.

Everything began with a 66-51 win over Abundant Life, followed by a 74-63 win over Johnson Creek where Tyler Oswald and Connor Simonson combined for forty-four points. They picked up their third straight victory when they defeated Clinton 55-40. This time, Oswald was the leading scorer with an im-

News from Parkview in Orfordville:

pressive twenty-one points. The fourth win in a row came with an important conference victory over Williams Bay where the Vikings had another leading scorer as Simonson had twenty points.

Finally, they wrapped up their season with two road game victories over Madison Country Day and Albany. Oswald led the way in the victory over Madison Country Day with eighteen points. The final game of the season was a statement win as the Vikings dominated the Albany Comets 82-48 and Oswald racked up twenty-nine points as he capped off a great season.

After winning six in a row to end their season, the Vikings had quickly flipped the switch from a mediocre team, to someone who could not be overlooked. Their ability to have a different offensive leader each game made them a tough team to stop down the stretch.

It helped them finish their season with a 13-9 record and got the Vikings the six seed as they entered the Division Four Regional. For the opening round, the Vikings found themselves squared up to face off with an unfamiliar opponent in the eleven seed, Dodgeland Trojans.

The Trojans, playing the role of underdogs, hoped to pull off the upset over the favorite Vikings. Parkview took control of this one quickly, however, as they held on to win by a score of 70-52. Oswald had one of his best performances as he led the team with thirty points and Simonson tacked on another twenty-one.

The Vikings then found themselves in a tough spot as they were forced to face off with the three seed Pardeeville Bulldogs on their home court, for the Regional Semifinal. The Vikings were able to keep things close, but Pardeeville held the advantage at halftime as they led by a score of 31-21.

Parkview attempted to climb their way back in the second half, but the Bulldogs did just enough to hold off the late Viking run. The Vikings outscored Pardeeville 41-38 in the second half but fell just short as the Bulldogs went on to win by a score of 69-62. Oswald was impressive with twenty-seven points, but the rest of the squad struggled to find momentum as the next leading scorer was Maverick Kundert with fifteen. After that, the next leading scorer was Simonson with just six.

The loss brought the magical run to an end after winning seven straight games, one of which was a Regional playoff game. Although it may not have ended the way they would have liked, the Vikings have plenty to be excited for next season. Despite having four seniors, the Vikings were mostly dominated by their youth guys and will bring a very experienced team to the court next season.

Parkview will graduate Maverick Kundert, Zac Unseth, Calvin Barlass, and Nevin Crane. Although it is never easy to fill the roles of graduating seniors, the Vikings have plenty of young feet to step into those shoes next year.

and Jenny (Mark) Meyer; as well as many other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and son, Rickey.

A Memorial Service was held Thursday, March 5, at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Brodhead with Pastor Pedar Johansen officiating.

Visitation was held at the church.

Burial will take place in Greenwood Cemetery in Brodhead at a later date.

Everson Funeral Home of Brodhead is assisting the family.

LINDA LOU (BROUGHTON) MALKOW Linda Lou (Broughton) Malkow, age 76, of Monticello, passed away peacefully Feb. 29, 2020 at the Monroe Clinic Hospice Home surrounded by her family.

Linda fought with complications of an auto-immune disorder Wegener’s Granulomatosis for almost 20 years, but saw serious decline over the past few years.

Born on the back porch of her family farm on June 23, 1943, the sixth child to Coburn and Rose (Lederman) Broughton, she was a farm girl from the start. She attended Smiley School in Albany through the eighth grade, but discontinued school, as her full time help was needed on the family farm.

Linda met the love of her life, Glen, on the square in Monroe shortly after his return from the army, and the two married July 1, 1961. Together they farmed in Belleville for 10 years and then spent the next almost fifty years farming on Rechsteiner road outside Monticello. She worked hard alongside Glen, helping with many tasks around the farm, but had a special place in her heart for raising calves. She was heartbroken when she was physically unable to go to the barn. After the outside work was complete, Linda would return to the house to prepare big meals for her family and farm hands. Nobody left with an empty stomach, and people were usually sent out the door with dessert to go.

Aptly named “Run-about”, Linda was always on the go. When the kids were young, she could be found

running them to various events. As the kids grew, she filled her time with card club, bingo and bowling league.

She and Glen escaped the farm over the years to take time for traveling.

Branson, Niagara Falls, Florida and the World’s Fair in St Louis were a few favorite destinations of the couple. She looked forward to yearly state and national bowling events with friends and their crew traveled all over the country for several years. Fond memories were made during sister days and the impromptu gambling runs to Ho-Chunk after family gatherings. She had the “Luck of the Irish” even though she was Swiss through and through and always seemed to come home a winner.

Linda loved the Packers, Badgers and Brewers, but more than anything, she loved her grandchildren. They were her pride and joy. The kids would hope to be privy to recipes of her massive chocolate chip cookies and scotchies that she was more than happy to whip up for their school events, birthdays or bake sales. They will giggle at the memories of the famous “Nanny” Wal-Mart runs, root beer floats for breakfast, her making them eat until they were bursting at

the seams, fun adventurous days at the farm and crazy car rides with Nanny’s lead foot.

Linda is survived by her husband, Glen Malkow, of Monticello. Her children: David (Jill) Malkow of Beloit, Debra (Michael) Cann of Belleville, and Brian (Becky) Malkow of Brodhead. Grandchildren: Nate Malkow, Ben Cann, Mikayla Cann, Brandon Malkow, Brady Malkow, Logan Malkow, Adam Cann, Brooks Malkow, and Luke Malkow. Sister, June Klossner of Rockford, IL and brother, Coburn “Corky” (Marj) Broughton of Brodhead. Special brother in law, Nelson Malkow, and many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends whom she adored.

Preceding Linda in death was her first-born son, Jeff. The two had a special bond and dealing with his loss made battling illness even more difficult the past 18 months. The two have been reunited the day before Jeff’s 58th birthday and we hope they will have the most glorious celebration. She was also preceded in death by her parents, Coburn and Rose Broughton, Maryanne Christenson and Caroline Malkow, siblings, Walt Broughton, Maryanne Christenson,

Susan Prien, Caroline Malkow, and Harlan (Buzz) Broughton..

The family would like to thank the staff at the Monroe Clinic Hospice Home for all they have done over the past several months. The kind and compassionate care Linda received on a daily basis is greatly appreciated and you will all forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Another heartfelt thanks to Pam Parker and Juvy Balch for assisting with Linda’s care when she was at home. As well as all the family, friends and clinic volunteers who took the time to visit Linda during her time at the Hospice House.

Funeral services were held Saturday, March 7, at the Albany Lions Club, 402 N Cincinnati St., with Pastor Mary Gafner officiating.

Interment was in the Gap Cemetery followed by a luncheon at the Lions Club. Visitation was at the Albany Lions Club on March 6.

In lieu of flowers memorials are suggested in Linda’s name to the Monroe Clinic Hospice Home.

The Newcomer Funeral Home, Monroe, is assisting the family.
