Hoscheit, and a bunt from Adrian Meza, balch singled to center field to get the Vikings on the board. The Ponies struggled to get comfortable, with a pair of errors and three walked batters in the first inning alone, the Vikings were able to take advantage of their mishaps and jump out to the 4-0 lead.

The second inning would go exactly the same as the first. The Ponies were held scoreless in the top half, thanks to Meza striking out the side, and the Vikings put up yet another four spot in the bottom. Braden Tracy got things started with a lead off double. A pair of walks to fol-

low loaded the bases for Balch who would single to right bringing in two more runs. Balch had three rbi’s in the first two innings as the Vikings went up 8-0 early on.

After a scoreless third inning the Ponies finally got themselves on the board in the top of the fourth.

Parkview quickly got that run back, however, as in the bottom half when Wyatt Bomkamp singled to bring in Meza for their ninth run of the evening.

The Vikings found themselves up 10-1 heading into the sixth inning.

The Ponies then managed to muster up some offense as they put up five

runs and brought themselves back into the game as they cut the lead to just four. The Vikings would put up another run in the bottom half, however. They would go on to hold that lead and walk away with a 14-6 victory for their second win in as many days.

Meza led the way for the Vikings on both sides of the field last Tuesday. He scored three runs to help himself out as he pitched five solid innings, gave up just one run, and struck out ten on the day. Balch had a big day offensively with four rbi’s while Hoscheit and Bomkamp each had two rbi’s themselves.

Libraries strengthen their communities: celebrate National Library Week This week, the Orfordville Public Library joins libraries of all types in celebrating the many ways libraries build strong communities by providing critical resources, programs and expertise.

April 7-13, 2019 is National Library Week, an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians and library workers play in transforming lives and communities. Libraries are at the heart of their cities, towns, schools and campuses. They have public spaces where people of all backgrounds can come together and connect.

Library programs encourage community members to meet to discuss civic issues, to work together, or to learn through 1:1 help on the computer or mobile devices. Library staff

also partner with other civic and service organizations to actively engage with the people they serve, always striving to make sure their community’s core needs are being met.

Orfordville Public Library helps lead the community by doing story-times both in the library and at local preschools/daycares. OPL staff along with other volunteers helps serve a luncheon and provide a program for retirees once a month at the Orfordville Lutheran Church. The library staff is actively involved in the end of school celebration at Orfordville Elementary School. Teens and tweens gather at the library on Tuesdays after school to play indoors and outdoors. They also enjoy a snack and socialize. Orfordville Public Library has an active friends

Gov. Evers proclaims April ‘Sexual Assault Awareness Month’

Gov. Tony Evers proclaimed April as ‘Sexual Assault Awareness Month’ throughout the state of Wisconsin.

In an official proclamation, Gov. Evers noted that one in three women and one in six men in Wisconsin will experience sexual violence in their lives at some point. He also noted that one in 10 children will be sexually abused before they turn 18.

“It’s important to increase awareness of sexual violence and how it affects everyone,” Gov. Evers said.

“We must continue to work together to prevent sexual violence while providing pathways to recovery for survivors.”

Gov. Evers’ proclamation also notes that women of color are historically marginalized and disproportionately affected by sexual violence.

‘Sexual Assault Awareness Month’ in Wisconsin is being recognized along with National Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Green County Board update with Erica Roth County website.

The topics that I am hearing about the most from Green County residents are the proposed Sugar River Wind Farm, the modifications being proposed to the Animal Manure Storage Ordinance and the Animal Feedlot Ordinance, and the proposed Water Trend Study. The Water Trend Study will be looked at by the Finance Committee before going to the County Board; because the 2019 Budget is already in place, the Finance Committee will determine if the funds for this study can be recommended to come out of the Undesignated General Fund this year or have to wait to be put in the 2020 Budget. If the Finance Committee recommends the funds for this year, it will go to the full county board for a vote.

The Animal Manure Storage Ordinance and Animal Feedlot Ordinance modifications are coming out of the Land and Water Conservation Department and committee. This is a direct result of the Livestock Facility Study Group’s recommendations and report.

This will be voted on by the full board at the April County Board meeting.

The Zoning Department is doing most of the work with the Proposed Sugar River Wind Farm application.

A Wind System Siting Ordinance was passed at the March County Board meeting, and the application is being worked through. I have been hearing from county residents, both for and against this wind farm. As well as researching wind and renewable energy, I have been talking with and listening

Green County Master Gardeners to tour Three Rivers Reserve The Green County Master Gardeners will hold their monthly meeting on Thursday, April 25, at 6:30 p.m. at the Three Waters Reserve, located at N3941 Golf Course Road, Brodhead, WI. Meetings usually provide speakers or tours for learning and are open to the public to attend.

Plan to explore with ecologists and botanists, one of Southern Wisconsin’s new conservation lands in the lower Sugar River Watershed. Learn about the efforts to convert a 57-acre former public golf course to historic native landscapes to provide multiple ecosystem services and public access to outdoor restoration and educational opportunities. In December 2018, the Southern Wisconsin Land Conservancy (SWLC) conducted the first prescribed burn on the Three Waters Reserve, near Brodhead. The burn activity was completed to prepare the site for early spring planting of native prairie and savanna species plants. This is part of a long

term restoration plan for the property.

Restoring the land and developing uses including public programming are part of the future plans. Susan Lehnhardt will be guiding us on more about the prep work and future plans for this site.

The Green County Master Gardeners Association meets on the fourth Thursday of the month from February through October. Association officers for 2019 will include Tanna McKeon,

President; Tammy Schulte, Vice President; Linda Boll, Secretary; and Lynn Lokken as Treasurer. Anyone interested in horticulture and gardening is welcome to join the association and you do not have to be a Master Gardener to be a member.

Brodhead-Juda boys and girls 2019 track preview

By Trent Scheidegger REPORTER

The Brodhead-Juda boys and girls track squads opened up their 2019 season last week.

The Boys head coach will, once again, be Nick Jarvis who enters his seventh year as head coach, and his thirteenth overall with the Cardinal track unit. Jarvis and his squad have hopes of being successful this season. “We want to finish

in the top half of the conference at the conference meet. Advance as many people through regionals and sectionals as possible” Jarvis said of their team goal.

He believes he has a group that can do just that, saying “We have a very nice group of sprinters including: Jeff Williams, Nick Naramore, Dalton Naramore, Theo Policastro, Seth Allen, Caesar Salgado, and other up and coming young sprint-

ers.” “We also have some great, young horizontal and vertical jumpers, as well as a distance crew that has been working very hard this offseason” Jarvis said of the others he expects to have a large impact this season. These boys will provide the team with a multitude of strengths as Jarvis expects sprints, jumps, and improved performances in the distance events to be their best weapons this year. Jarvis also

Juda Zion and Oakley Union United Methodist Churches stage Easter musical The combined choirs of the Juda Zion and Oakley Union United Methodist Churches will present a new dramatic musical for the Easter season. We Are Witnesses, created by Kenna Turner West and arranged by Daniel Semsen, will be presented at Juda Zion Church on Palm Sunday, April 14 at 1:30 p.m. and again on Good Friday, April 19 at 1:30 p.m.

The church is located at N2350 Church St., Juda.

The program includes the compelling testimonies of some of those who encountered Jesus firsthand, including John, Peter, Mary, Nicodemus, and the Woman at the Well. Directed by Shelly Jordan, the musical features dynamic new songs and will be an inspirational experience for all who attend.

Members of the Adult Choir are Peggy Jordan, Jean Busker, Jan Ladwig, JoAnn Dobbins, Joyce Hoesly, JoAnn Eberle, Stephanie Pollock, Rudy Kaderly,

Bob Severson Jr., Julie Davis, Kim Shields, Kay Carter, Sharon Creuzer, Judy Kaderly, Gene Dobbins, Jacob Mahlkuch, Bill Jahn, Deb Hauri, Kim Becker, Darlene Becker, Jacob Hoesly, Dennis Pfingsten, and Pat Daniels. The Children’s Choir, directed by Judy Kaderly, includes Sophie, Tucker, and Gracyn Bolton, Lia Daniels, Blake Adkins, Riley Brown, Ciarrah Davis, and Reagan Matzke. One of the dramatic scenes is of the Last Supper where the 12 disciples are played by Marvin Becker, Bill Jahn, Dakota Davis, Jacob Mahlkuch, Rudy Kaderly, Jerry Ladwig, Emerson Jordan, Justin Soddy, Kyle DeNure, Curtis Mansfield, Justin Bolton, and Marvin Creuzer. The program is open to the public. There is no admission charge but a free will offering may be left after the performances. A time of food and fellowship will follow each performance.

said that the team weakness could be their throwers but acknowledged their hard work, saying “Our throwers have been working very hard, and should be much improved.”

The boys are certainly stacked with an athletic group, much of whom we witnessed playing inside of the track on the football field this last season. Senior Jeff Williams will look to show off his athleticism and make one last run at success in a Brodhead uniform.

The girls head coach will be none other that Curt Gratz. Gratz, who is also the cross-country coach, is entering his third year as head coach, but carries a lot of experience as this is his eighteenth season overall as part of the coaching staff. Coming off a season where the girls finished second in the Rock Valley Conference and seventh place in state, Gratz has a squad that is built for success once again.

Gratz has a great group of upperclassmen for the 2019 season.

Nicole Kamholz, who was a part of the 4x400 relay team that took fourth place at state, returns for her senior year. Overall the group has ten seniors this season, loaded with talent with well known athletes such as Abbey Johnson, Alexis Oliver, Rhianna Teubert, and many many more. The group is also supported by five juniors who are all coming off of successful seasons themselves.

JUDA Panthers on the Prowl

Gratz expects some newcomers to have an impact as well. “Freshman Ellie Yates who had an excellent middle school season looks to make an immediate impact on the team. Also, exchange student Emma Lokkos looks to be a great addition to our group of mid-distance runners after having an excellent cross-country season” Gratz said.

Following the success of last season, Gratz expects to make another run at the conference title.

“I think our depth will be one of our strengths. We can field quality relays on the track and have some stand out athletes that will score in their individual events as well” Gratz said of the team’s strengths.

Gratz also acknowledged areas the team will have to work on, saying “I think we will be weaker in the field events this season. We will need to develop athletes in this area if we are going to have success.” Gratz knows the team is up for some tough competition.

“East Troy and Jefferson will both be strong. Both have quality teams and placed well in state last year.”

Gratz said of the top Rock Valley opponents.”

Overall both Brodhead-Juda track squads are set up for successful years if they can put in the hard work and make it all pay off in the end during the conference and postseason meets.

$36.2 million for Wisconsin’s public school libraries work tirelessly to protect and manage these funds.”

Established in 1848 by Article X of the Wisconsin Constitution, BCPL was created to manage assets of the Common School Fund. This permanent endowment was initially funded from the sale of Federal lands granted to Wisconsin on becoming a state, and the Constitution specifically dedicated this fund for the benefit of public education.

State Treasurer Godlewski stated, “As a graduate of Wisconsin public schools and the daughter of two school teachers, it’s an honor to lead such an important agency. I’m committed to public schools and believe our kids are most successful when they have the resources necessary to learn and grow.”

“These funds help schools across the state provide access to books and technology in their libraries. We must ensure that the Common School Fund continues to be managed effectively,” said Attorney General Josh Kaul, BCPL Commissioner.

“The folks who wrote our Wisconsin Constitution had a fantastic idea; put the proceeds from the sale of School Trust Lands into a trust and return the interest earned on these loans to the school libraries of our State,” Secre-

On Sept. 6, the Mayflower departed from Plymouth, England, and headed for America. The voyage itself across the Atlantic Ocean took 66 days, from their departure on September 6, until Cape Cod was sighted on Nov. 9, 1620.

Federal court grants Wisconsin’s withdrawal from case challenging prohibition of discrimination Attorney General Josh Kaul today announced the federal district court for the Northern District of Texas dismissed the State of Wisconsin from Franciscan Alliance, Inc., et al. v. Price, et al., a case challenging the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ ability to prohibit discrimination in health care on the basis of “gender identity” and “termination of pregnancy.”

“The State of Wisconsin should not have been involved in this lawsuit, and I am glad to be able to announce that we no longer are,” said Attorney General Kaul.

In Franciscan Alliance, Inc., et al.

v. Price, et al., 16-cv-00108-O (N.D. Tex.), the State of Wisconsin was one of several plaintiff states challenging a U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services rule—45 C.F.R. § 92.4—that defines the phrase “on the basis of sex” in the Affordable Care Act’s prohibition on discrimination in health care to include “gender identity” and “termination of pregnancy.” The federal district court for the Northern District of Texas issued a nationwide preliminary injunction preventing enforcement of this rule on December 31, 2016. An appeal of that injunction was then filed with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Recently, the Wisconsin Department of Justice filed motions to dismiss the State of Wisconsin from the district court action and from the appeal. On March 29, 2019, the Fifth Circuit dismissed the State of Wisconsin from the appeal. On April 2, 2019, the district court dismissed the State of Wisconsin from the civil action.

As a result, the State of Wisconsin is no longer involved in federal litigation challenging this Affordable Care Act rule that prohibits discrimination in health care on the basis of “gender identity” and “termination of pregnancy.”

Green County Land & Water Conservation Department calls for stream monitors All of life depends on water, and all of us are citizens of a watershed.

Our activities and the ways we use our water resources and the land adjacent to the water affect the quality of our drinking water, our recreational opportunities, and the health and diversity of aquatic plants and animals. Our activities also affect whether our rivers and streams will continue to be beautiful places to visit and vistas to contemplate.

The water quality of a nearby stream, a watershed, or a large river system can be enhanced only by collecting good information about conditions and by responding to that information. Monitoring is necessary to ensure that our waters

can continue to support the many different ways we use these resources to track whether protection and restoration measures are working.

The information gained from monitoring helps with prioritizing the issues to be addressed and choosing the geographic areas in which to concentrate, thus helping to ensure cost-effective water-resource management.

The Green County Land & Water Conservation Department is looking for help in monitoring our local streams. We are looking for young or old, outdoors or indoors people, individuals or groups of people that would like to get their feet wet a few times a year. All volunteers

must attend a hands on training course through Water Action Volunteers (WAV) to learn methods of stream monitoring. WAV is a statewide program for Wisconsin citizens who want to learn about and improve the quality of Wisconsin’s streams and rivers.

The department is planning a local training course for the week of May 5th. The location and time will be dependent on sign up. The location will be held in a central location of the attendees and will be located with in the county.

Please contact Chris Newberry at 608-325-4195 ext.120 or Chris.

gery at Baylor and a member of the Titleist Performance Institute’s Medical Advisory Board.

Hunt said that the lead wrist, the left wrist in a right-handed golfer and vice versa, is the target of most of the force when your club hits the ball, so the re-

petitive impact can lead to overuse injury, tendon inflammation (tendonitis), and pain. While this is more common in the professional player with an unrelenting practice schedule, a rusty weekend golfer also may be at risk for these injuries.

Sunset Golf Course, home of the famous Lyle Towns Old Home Week 4th of July Scramble, was founded in 1937 by the Kable brothers and other prominent figures in the Mount Morris township. In 1990 the course layout changed with the addition of four holes, which now play as # 4, 5, 6, and 8.

The course’s most well know attraction is the 7th hole which is a 100 yard par 3 that requires golfers to hit their shot over a giant ravine known by locals as the Pit. On the original course layout this played as the final hole, but today it is the 7th. What seems like such a simple hole has played mind games with golfers for years. Even the best golfers have managed to ruin their rounds after challenging this hole.

To prevent this type of injury the occasional golfer should simply avoid overdoing it on the first trip to the course. Infrequent participation is often the culprit. Pre-exercise heat, stretching, and occasional use of anti-inflammatory medication prior to playing can be effective as well.

To treat it, Hunt suggests a period of rest, use of ice and gradual return to the sport over about two weeks. If this doesn’t alleviate the pain, or if it returns quickly, he suggests seeing a sportsbased hand and wrist physician to assess the injury and provide a definitive diagnosis.

Another cause of wrist injury, though not as frequent, is striking the ball with herculean force. This, in combination with an amateur’s poor swing mechanics, can lead to grounding the club. Such rapid deceleration of the club head can cause cartilage or ligament tears in the lead wrist. To avoid these injuries, slow it down, concentrating on form and tempo. Regularly hitting off hard turf mats at the range can be a risk factor as well.

Hunt noted that once a golfer has an injury and subsequent pain, the wrist motion and grip strength tend to decrease, which can lead to re-injury with continued play. For this reason, the time spent obtaining a proper diagnosis and treating the disorder is well worth it and may avoid worsening the problem.

Monroe Clinic celebrates five-star Medicare rating Monroe Clinic is one of only 293 hospitals nationwide to achieve a 5-star ranking from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in a review process that included over 4,500 hospitals.

“Our position among the top 7% of hospitals across the nation is not just a matter of having very talented people,” shared Monroe Clinic President Mike Sanders, “it is a matter of those talented people being dedicated to pursuing excellence and improvement in all areas of their work. It’s their diligence in the daily tasks as well as the strategic initiatives.”

CMS has been providing the Hospital Compare tool on its website, Medicare.gov, since 2005. The database allows visitors to enter a zip code then search and compare ratings from area hospitals. The tool includes an overall star rating of each hospital, as well as individual ratings for specific quality factors, including patient experience, safety, effectiveness of care, patient re-admissions, efficient use of medical imaging, timeliness of care, and mortality.

The CMS system uses a star rating similar to that used

Celebrate National Library Week in Rock County This week, all seven Rock County public libraries join libraries of all types in celebrating the many ways libraries build strong communities by providing critical resources, programs, and expertise.

April 7-13, is National Library Week, an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians and library workers play in transforming lives and communities. Libraries are at the heart of their cities, towns, schools, and campuses.

They have public spaces where people of all backgrounds can come together and connect.

Library programs encourage com-

munity members to meet to discuss civic issues, work together using new technologies like 3D printing or learn alongside one another in English language classes. Library staff also partner with other civic and service organizations to actively engage with the people they serve, always striving to make sure their community’s core needs are being met.

Rock County libraries help lead the community by providing resources like Hedberg Public Library’s Gale Small Business Resource Center, promoting partnerships like Beloit Public Library’s relationship with the Stateline Literacy Council collaborating on

classroom space and study materials, and by running programs like The Memory Project with the Rock County Aging and Disability Resource Center at Clinton Public Library.

“Libraries are cornerstones of democracy, promoting the free exchange of information and ideas for all,” said Steve Platteter, director of Arrowhead Library System. “It’s important we acknowledge our local libraries for the civic engagement they foster by keeping people informed and aware of community events and issues.”

Arrowhead Library System is celebrating National Library Week by

promoting awareness of the wonderful work our Rock County Libraries do: providing reliable information, resources, and programs to help our communities stay strong and vibrant.

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April.

$36.2 million provided to Wisconsin’s public schools State Treasurer Sarah Godlewski presented the impressive 2019 distribution of the Common School Fund to State Superintendent Carolyn Stanford Taylor. As a result of smart investment strategies, the Common School Fund will provide $36.2 million to Wisconsin public schools.

This is a significant distribution that will benefit K-12 public school libraries. 92% of school libraries are solely funded from the Common School Fund each year -- making this funding vital to public education.

Treasurer Godlewski stated, “As Chair of this agency, it’s my top priority to ensure strong financial returns that support over a million school children around the state.

This funding allows local librarians to purchase needed books and technology while relieving the burden on property taxpayers.”

Established in 1848 in the Wisconsin Constitution, the Common

School Fund is the state’s permanent endowment that benefits public education. To date, the fund is worth over $1 billion. Wisconsin is the only state in the country that has a fund dedicated to resourcing public school libraries.

Treasurer Godlewski shared her goals for the Common School Fund which included increasing financial returns through win-win investment strategies, optimizing the agency’s land base to provide additional revenue streams, and promoting the use and visibility of the State Trust Fund Loan program.

Treasurer Godlewski continued, “As a graduate of Wisconsin public schools and the daughter of two school teachers, it’s an honor to lead such an important agency. I’m committed to public schools and believe our kids are most successful when they have the resources necessary to learn and grow.”

Luther Valley Church hosts old fashioned tea On April 13, at 2 p.m. Luther Valley Church will host an old fashioned tea as part of their 175th Anniversary celebration.

Sandwiches, salads and desserts will be served. Browse interesting displays of nostalgic items while listening to the Jug Band perform.

Please call the church office at 879-2934 for reservations. A free will donation will be taken. All are invited for this fun event.
