Farmer helps secure donation to Juda fire department Local farmer Larry Kloepping recently directed a $2,500 Bayer Fund America’s Farmers Grow Communities donation to Juda Volunteer Fire Department. The department will use the funds for its fire and rescue operations.

The Grow Communities program asks farmers across the country to participate by

nominating nonprofit organizations with resources to strengthen their local communities, according to a news release. Last August, farmers entered for the chance to direct a $2,500 Grow Communities donation to a local eligible nonprofit of their choice.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone, includ-

ing those in rural regions, and farmers play a critical role in helping communities overcome challenges, like the ones we’re currently facing,” said Al Mitchell, Bayer Fund president. “Bayer Fund is proud to work side-by-side with farmers to identify local eligible nonprofit organizations that are able to provide their resi-

dents with solutions that leave a lasting impact.”

Since 2010, the America’s Farmers programs have awarded more than $59 million to community nonprofits, aspiring agriculture students and public schools across rural America.

Local groups garner funding for ag education The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation’s Ag in the Classroom program recently awarded $6,898 to schools and organizations to expand agricultural literacy.

Groups, schools and organizations can apply for up to $500 as part of the Ag in the Classroom’s matching grant program to support a project, provided they have a source of matching funds.

Two local programs were among the grant recipients.

Parkview and Brodhead FFA chapters received $500 for their Food for America program.

“Parkview and Brodhead FFA will immerse local elementary students in the agriculture industry,” according to a news release. “Food for America will teach fourthgrade students about the many facets of agriculture, specifically where food comes from.

“Students will have the opportunity to visit and tour a local dairy, participate in interactive stations based around different agriculture products grown in Wisconsin and

meet local industry leaders.”

The Farmers Grow: Food Brings Everyone to the Table virtual scavenger hunt program through the Rock County Farm Bureau also received a $500 grant.

The scavenger hunt “is a free, educational, fun, socially distanced family activity that highlights the importance of Wisconsin agriculture,” the release said. “The program uses agricultural literacy focusing on Wisconsin’s top 24 agricultural commodities in partnership with local FFA members.”

Program participants snap a selfie at each community location and post them to the Rock County Farm Bureau Facebook page.

Farm Bureau’s Ag in the Classroom program provides teachers and K-12 students with an understanding of how their food is produced.

“The goal of the program is to help students gain a greater awareness of the role agriculture plays in the economy and society, so that they may become citizens who support wise agricultural policies,” the news release said.

Free online classes offer tips, support for families dealing with dementia The Alzheimer’s & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin will offer free online community education classes about brain health and caring for those with dementia and Alzheimer’s over the next several weeks. The programs are offered by Teena Monk-Gerber, the dementia outreach specialist for Rock and Green counties.

The education sessions include: • “Creative Engagement,” 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. or 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 4.

Learn how creativity and imagination are beneficial tools to care for those with dementia.

ROBERT J. NORDENG Robert James Nordeng, age 59, of Janesville, passed away on April 10, 2021, at the Agrace Hospice Care Inpatient unit in Janesville after a long battle with diabetes and kidney failure.

Robert was born June 14, 1961, in Rockford, Illinois, the son of James and Carol (McDonald) Nordeng. Robert was married to Diana “Dee” Freeman on Nov. 11, 1989, at their residence in Afton.

Robert grew up in Afton and later worked and retired from the GM plant in Janesville. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, online gaming and watching NASCAR racing and football.

He also enjoyed working on old trucks with his father and his best friend, Randy.

The family would like to send many thanks for all the prayers received and thanks to the Janesville Rescue Service, as well as all the doctors, nurses and social workers at Meriter Hospital and Mercy Care Dialysis. The family cannot express their appreciation enough to the staff and workers at Agrace

for caring for Bob and Dee. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be directed to Agrace Hospice of Janesville, 2901 N. Wright Road, Janesville, WI 53546.

Robert is survived by his wife, Diana “Dee” Nordeng; one sister, Cheri Nordeng of Tomahawk, Wisconsin; five stepchildren, Jodi (Steve) Pinnow, Lynne Bass, Paul Campbell (Jess Luepnitz), Paula (Dave) Lathrop and Angel (Todd) Klementz; 25 grandchildren including spouses; 14 great-grandchildren and many other relatives and friends.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents and a stepson, Gary A. Campbell.

A celebration of life was held at Boundaries Bar and Grill in Beloit on April 18, 2021. The DL Newcomer Funeral Home in Brodhead is assisting the family. For more information, go online to dlnewcomerfuneralhome. com or call 608-897-2484.

PEARL WIDEMAN Pearl Marie Wideman, age 96, of Juda, passed away peacefully on April 13, 2021, at the New Glarus Nursing Home.

Pearl was born Jan. 4, 1925, in Janesville, the daughter of William and Estella (Tripke) Reigle. She graduated from Brodhead High School in 1944. She went on to earn her teaching degree through Green County Normal School. Over the years while raising a family and teaching full time, she worked toward and earned her bachelor’s degree.

She began her teaching career in Jordan Prairie country school in rural in Brodhead, in the 1945-’46 term. She later taught at Jordan Prairie again, then the Decatur Country school and the Decatur consolidated. Pearl retired from Brodhead elementary schools in June 1989. After her retirement, she became a member of the Green County Retired Educators until recent years.

Pearl was also a 50-year member of the Green County Homemakers, having been a member of Oakley Homemakers, Richland Homemakers and Juda Mid-Century Homemakers clubs.

For a time she also served as a 4-H club project leader.

Among her favorite things to do were baking, working in her flower gardens, or attending family gatherings for birthdays, holidays and family reunions and traveling. She and her husband had traveled to Hawaii, several European countries, the Caribbean as well as several of our western states.

She always had a sup-

ply of her homemade cookies on hand, which earned her the name of “Cookie Grandma,” which was given to her by her great-grandchildren.

Surviving Pearl are two of her sisters, Dorothy (Jay) Feldt of Evansville and Clarice (Mike) Elvekrog of Stoughton; a daughter, Patsy (Lyle) Thorp of Reedsburg; a son, Jeffrey (Dee Indergand) Wideman; three grandchildren, Pamela (James) Frazier of Reedsburg, Shawn (Nhu) Thorp of Stoughton and Blane (Mo) Thorp of Reedsburg; six great-grandchildren, Josey and Jaymee Frazier, Devin Thorp, Brittany Meinert, Caitlyn and Treyvor Thorp, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Pearl was preceded in death by her husband, John, on July 26, 2014; her parents, William (Bill Sr.) and Estella Reigle; three brothers, Gerald (Marilyn), Bill Jr. (Lorraine) and Bob (Mary); as well as three sisters, Eleanora (Raymond) Pinnow, Joyce (Edwin) Frederick and Evalyn (Richard) Hale.

Private family services will be held at the DL Newcomer Funeral Home in Brodhead.

Burial will conclude at the Greenwood Cemetery in Brodhead.

Memorials may be made to Green County Hospice or Nine Angels Scholarship Fund for Juda Schools.

Sharpe Family Singers The Sharpe Family Singers will take the MAC virtual stage Friday, May 7, through Sunday, May 9.

Broadway performers and producers Ron and Barbara Sharpe first met onstage in the original Broadway production of “Les Miserables,” where they played the romantic lead roles of Marius and Cosette.

After being married onstage over 1,000 times, they decided to do it for real, according to a MAC news release. Now years later with two grown children, a pair of identical twin boys and three “adopted” family members (the boyfriend, the best friend and the “lovable uncle”) this group has formed The Sharpe Family Singers.

“In ‘Married to Broadway,’ The Sharpe Family Singers share their love of Broadway musicals by performing the big show-stopping numbers that are audience favorites around the world,” the release said. “Their repertoire includes songs from new hit Broadway shows like ‘Hamilton’ and ‘Dear Evan Hansen,’ blockbuster movies like ‘The Greatest Showman,’ hits from Disney On Broadway and Broadway’s rock ’n roll musicals as well as classic show tunes from ‘Phantom,’ ‘Cats,’ ‘Evita,’ ‘Guys and Dolls,’

Statewide trail report includes current conditions for hiking and biking Travel Wisconsin, in partnership with the Office of Outdoor Recreation, recently launched a new Wisconsin Trail Report. The report lists current conditions for hiking and biking trail networks throughout the state as well as basic trail descriptions and links to additional resources.

“For the first time, the new Wisconsin Trail Report brings together a collection of trail networks all across the state and from a range of land managers, including the Wisconsin State Park System, various county and municipal parks, as well as private or nonprofit organizations like nature centers,” according to a state news release. “No other resource showcases the vast trail offerings in Wisconsin with current condition reports.”

The reports also include brief descriptions of the trail networks to inform users about the total mileage, type of terrain and landscape, facilities available and fees.

Biking trails are categorized as recreational or mountain bike trails and list the surface type.

“Dozens of local reporters keep the 140 hiking and biking reports updated weekly or after major weather events or ongoing construction,” the release said.

“Reporters are a mix of hiking and biking enthusiasts, members of clubs or friends groups, land managers and destination marketing organizations.”

“The Wisconsin Trail Report is a gateway to adventure,” said Acting Secretary Anne Sayers.

“Outdoor recreation is one of the leading reasons people travel to Wisconsin and this will serve as a great resource to understand the general trail conditions in an area as travelers plan a hiking or biking outing throughout our beautiful state.”

The Wisconsin Trail Report lists the current weather forecast for the area, nearby activities, attractions, dining and lodging, as well as photos of the trail network and nearby facilities.

Brodhead High School senior Kaitlyn Welsh is turning to the local community to help children and families in Haiti.

As her senior project, Welsh is organizing the Walk for Family on Saturday, Sept. 26. The two-mile walk will begin at 9 a.m. at the start of the Sugar River Trail in Brodhead.

Community members also may opt to participate by taking their own walking route and collecting donations for the cause, Welsh said in a news release.

The walk will raise money for One Gift, One Child, a ministry of former Brodhead residents Natalie and Pierre Charlotin. Natalie Charlotin is a Brodhead graduate.

“One Gift, One Child serves to prevent orphans and reunite families in the impoverished country of Haiti,” the news release said. “As a ministry, it provides orphaned children, or those put in orphanages by their families, safety from abuse, poverty, rejection, slavery, trafficking and hatred.

“Their end goal is to provide every child a safe environment and eventual reunion with their family. If they do not have a family, they are placed into a foster home that allows them a safe, loving environment to grow up in.”

To receive a Walk for Family sponsor sheet or get more information, send an email to Welsh at welshkai@ brodhead.k12.wi.us. Sponsor sheets and monetary donations will be collected on or before Sept. 26 and presented to the Charlotins for One Gift, One Child.

To make a donation online, go to livingwordwi.org and click on “giving,” then on “give now” and change the designation from “general offering” to “special offering.”

“One Gift, One Child serves to prevent orphans and reunite families in the impoverished country of Haiti,” the news release said. “As a ministry, it provides orphaned children, or those put in orphanages by their families, safety from abuse, poverty, rejection, slavery, trafficking and hatred.

“Their end goal is to provide every child a safe environment and eventual reunion with their family. If they do not have a family, they are placed into a foster home that allows them a safe, loving environment to grow up in.”

To receive a Walk for Family sponsor sheet or get more information, send an email to Welsh at welshkai@ brodhead.k12.wi.us. Sponsor sheets and monetary donations will be collected on or before Sept. 26 and presented to the Charlotins for One Gift, One Child.

To make a donation online, go to livingwordwi.org and click on “giving,” then on “give now” and change the designation from “general offering” to “special offering.”

For more information about One Gift, One Child, go online to onegiftonechild.org.

Charlotin is a founder of One Gift, One Child. Kaitlyn Welsh, a Brodhead High School senior, is organizing a fundraising walk to benefit One Gift, One Child. Members of the organization work to provide medical care and safe homes for Haitian special needs children, who are often abandoned.

Should you buy or sell a home in 2021?

Here’s what to know

Spring is the best time to get your lawn in shape for a healthy, green growing season.

Take care of your spring lawn for a green summer As a homeowner, now is the perfect time to start thinking about lawn care again. Spring is your first – and best – opportunity to get your outdoor living space in top shape for the warmer months ahead. The prime time to get your lawn in shape begins whenever the soil starts warming.

To help you get ready for a healthy, lush green lawn this spring, lawn care company TruGreen, shares five things you should do: Start with a spring cleanup Spring cleaning isn’t just for the inside of your home.

Your lawn has collected fallen leaves, sticks and other debris over the winter months. Leaving behind this plant matter can smother the growth of your lawn and leave behind unsightly dead patches on the turf.

A cleanup will give your lawn room to breathe, so it can take in water and sunshine, as well as any fertilizer or

weed control treatments.

Clean up the mower Spring is also time to dust off the lawn mower, fill it with fresh fuel and get your first mow. The first mowing of the season removes dead blades of grass and encourages the lawn to wake from its winter slumber.

Get a step ahead of weed growth The return of crabgrass is not something to look forward to, however, the good news is, you can get these and other unsightly weeds under control by applying a treatment before they start popping up around your lawn. But keep in mind, it’s important to get the timing just right.

“Timing is critical when it comes to applying preventative weed treatments,” says Brian Feldman, TruGreen’s director of technical operations-north. “Treatment should be applied under very

specific soil and temperature conditions. Otherwise, it won’t work and you’ll end up wasting both product and effort.”

To take the guesswork out of weed control, consulting with a lawn care professional can bring you peace of mind and deliver desired results.

Nourish your lawn Spring presents yet another important window of opportunity to achieve a thick, healthy lawn. After being dormant all winter, it will need a dose of food to help it spring back to life and start growing.

By summer, your turf will be facing many stresses – heat, drought, insects and disease. A light application of fertilizer can help your lawn take full advantage of spring growth and have it at its best.

Don’t forget your trees and shrubs. The amount of fertilizer needed varies with the age and where your trees and shrubs are located, so

contact a professional for expert treatment.

Set a simple watering schedule Regular rainfall is optimal for healthy grass. But when the sun is beating down and it’s been more than a week since the last rainfall, you’ll need to supplement the lack of rain with a sprinkler.

Most lawns will thrive and grow with 1 inch of water per week. To keep track, set a few empty tuna cans around the lawn. When they get full – indicating an inch of water – you can move the sprinkler to a different section.

Trees and shrubs also need some watering TLC; keep them hydrated also, particularly when temperatures start to spike.

Call your local lawn professional and they’ll create a plan that’s tailormade for your outdoor living space to get it into great shape this spring.

While the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine has left a lot of question marks about the future of the U.S. economy at-large, analysts expect the housing market to remain strong and stable in the coming year.

“Despite the uncertainties of the pandemic, the housing market performed well in the second half of 2020,” says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Low mortgage rates and the ability to work remotely continued to propel demand for housing, which is reflected in home sales reaching levels not seen in 15 years.”

Whether you’re a potential homebuyer, a current homeowner or considering selling, here are some key takeaways of Freddie Mac’s Quarterly Forecast: Interest rates likely to stay low The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage hit a record low over a dozen times in 2020. The low interest rate environment is projected to continue through 2021, with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage expected to average below 3 percent.

Low rates are good news for buyers looking to purchase a home, and homeowners looking to reduce their mortgage payment through refinancing.

Home sales to remain high The demand for housing is expected to remain strong in 2021, creating a favorable market for sellers.

Last year, low mortgage rates and the ability to work remotely drove up home sales (the measure of the number of homes sold every month). This year, home sales are expected to ride that wave, averaging 6.5 million for the year.

House prices to grow moderately In the second half of 2020, the high volume of home sales and low supply of housing drove up house prices. In 2021, house price growth is expected to moderate for the full year.

Refinances to start declining Low mortgage rates spurred refinance activity in 2020, boosting mortgage originations (the process in which borrowers apply for a home loan) to historic highs. As mortgage rates rise modestly in 2021, refinance activity should start to slow. “While many homeowners took advantage of these low rates in last year, evidence suggests that many lower income homeowners still have the opportunity to strengthen their financial position by refinancing,” says Khater.

Amp up your spring cleaning routine with these hacks Spring is a great time to refresh your home. Whether you’re planning a major clean sweep or just giving problem areas a little extra TLC, experts say that a few simple strategies will make the job easier and the fruits of your labor last longer.

“When tackling your spring cleaning, checklists are key. The best thing you can do is to plan ahead and make sure you have everything you need to get the job

done, which will save loads of time,” said Erin Chase, founder of 5DollarDinners.com and a mother of four. “Second, work room by room until each area is clean. Jumping place to place makes accomplishments take longer and it’s harder to see big results.”

To make larger spring cleaning tasks easier and keep your house smelling fresh every day, Chase is sharing her top hacks to get

the best results from those larger cleaning tasks: • Create cleaning caddies for every bathroom, the kitchen and garage. Having all of your supplies ready for quick touchups and cleaning saves tons of time.

“For super fast touchups, I keep a canister of cleaning wipes handy. I prefer naturally derived Art of Green wipes because they seriously cut through scum, and the scents are amazing.

Best of all, they’re safe for use around kids and pets and protect sensitive skin,” says Chase.

• “Clean” your cleaning supplies. Deodorize your mop by adding 3/4 cup Pinwale Original to a gallon of water, soak your mop for an hour, scrub and rinse.

“I switched to Pinalen Original because it is made with real pine oil, which makes it a powerful multipurpose cleaner. Plus, I love

the scent,” adds Chase.

• To really disinfect and deep clean non-porous floors, add 1/3 cup of Cloralen disinfectant bleach to 1.5 gallons of water and mop or scrub and let dry. You’ll be surprised what comes off and how much they’ll sparkle.

• To sanitize countertops, kitchen sinks and the outside of appliances, mix 1 tablespoon of bleach with 1 gallon of water and apply. Let stand for at least two minutes and

dry.

• To clean baseboards without bending and crawling, rubber band a microfiber cloth over the bristles of a broom. Spray the cloth with your favorite cleaner and scrub. No aching back!

• To make an easy shower door scum remover: mix four parts water to one part fabric softener, spray onto scum, wipe off with a sponge and rinse with warm water.
