Volunteers sought to keep the Sugar River sweet and clean ALBANY — The Lake Winnetka Sugar River Improvement Association, Inc., will hold its annual Sugar River cleanup in Albany on Saturday, May 21st from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

We will meet at the Albany American Legion Hall at 300 N Water St. across from the Boat Ramp near the Police/Fire station.

Our goal is to remove as much garbage as possible from the river and its banks. We also want to clear a path through fallen trees that totally block navigation of canoes and create hazards.

The type of work varies from walking the banks or riding in canoes and picking up trash to cutting tree branches and handing them to people on shore.

Equipment needed includes canoes or small boats, chain saws, bow saws, and waders.

The association will provide trash bags, and local businesses will provide food and refreshments.

We will get organized at 9 a.m. and begin cleaning up at 10 a.m. or sooner. A representative will be on the premises at the Albany American Legion to direct those who want to come later.

Our clean-up is registered with the American Rivers National River Cleanup. Scout groups can earn community service points by helping out.

Please volunteer your help or equipment. You can contact us for more information by email at lwsria@aol.com or “Like” us on Facebook. You may also call 608-862-1698 or 773-4187123. Leave a message including your name and phone numCourtesy photos ber, and we will return your At the end of the 2015 Sugar River Cleanup, these volunteers unload the tires and trash that call. they found in the river from their canoes.

BRODHEAD — Volunteers are making a noticeable difference on our community’s Pearl Island Recreational Corridor (PIRC). The focus this spring is on Headgates Park, where volunteers have cleared brush along the shore, allowing for better access to the water for fishing, bird watching, scenic vistas, and recreation.

You and your group can help with these and many other visible changes planned for this summer.

Wouldn’t it be great if every business, church group, and organization got together a group of volunteers, and came out for three to four hours on a Saturday morning to assist the core team with projects?

The time flies when you’re working with friends, and you can see the progress you and the group make in a few short hours. When you come back to enjoy the area, you can take pride in your efforts.

Organize your team of volunteers, and sign up for a Sat-

Becker pitches no-hitter in dominating win over River Ridge-Cassville

By Derek Hoesly Correspondent

JUDA — Behind Nicki Becker’s first career no-hitter and an offensive explosion, Juda-Albany (15-5 overall, 12-0 Six Rivers) cruised to a 13-0 victory over River Ridge-Cassville in a Six Rivers crossover contest last Friday.

The Panthers wasted no time putting up a crooked number in the bottom of the first.

Panthers’ leadoff hitter Alexis Goecks laid down a bunt toward third and legged it out

for a base hit. Juda-Albany then displayed their power with back-to-back homers as Sara Jordan crushed a two-run shot to deep center field and Jessica Crull hammered a solo shot to left field.

Juda-Albany tacked on six runs in the bottom of the third.

Becker ripped a two-run double to right center to put the Panthers up 6-0. Goecks then laced an RBI single down the right field line. After a walk, Crull stepped to the plate and drilled a three-run homer to center field to extend the lead

to 10-0.

“I guess it was my first time ever having two home runs which was pretty exciting. I just saw the ball and swung,” an elated Crull said. “Everybody hit the ball and I just came up and did my job and hit the ball and everybody else did their job and hit the ball so that was pretty exciting.”

“Jessica had a good night.

Yeah, we all hit pretty good today,” Becker said.

The Panthers added three runs in the bottom of the fourth. Danielle Dieckhoff

The 2017 Dominican Republic trip participant list is

We took a break to honor Chance, who celebrated an April birthday. Everyone sang “Happy Birthday.”

New Business was brought up. Our educational moment was about how to give a demonstration. We discussed coffee cakes for the Breakfast on the Farm. Some families will make their own. Others will choose a day to get together and make them.

We plan to get members together to shop for a gift for one of our family’s new baby.

A new fundraising idea was brought up, which we will look into. Members would like to try

LARPing at a future date. We adjourned the business meeting.

Roxane talked about calories in beverages for a health report. The Cloverbuds talked about conserving paper so we don’t waste trees. Talks were given for music, drama, and creative writing by Connor, Maylee, Royce Brauer, and Jaena LeGault. Justin Moore showed us a model he made and took to a show where he got a secondplace ribbon. Jaena told about the skeletal system of a horse.

Connor encouraged members to sign up for camp and told how friendships can be made through going to camp.

After adjournment, we went outside where Jaena did a demonstration on a goat. Everyone got the chance to interact with a very nice goat called Henry.

lined a triple to right field.

Chelsea Burkhaulter then plated Dieckhoff with an RBI single into left field.

Juda-Albany’s other two runs came off of River RidgeCassville errors.

Becker was absolutely dominant in the no-hitter as she had a nasty drop ball and rise ball that had tons of movement. The River Ridge-Cassville hitters were kept off balance for the entire game, as they never made solid contact.

Becker had 11 strikeouts in her first career no-hitter.

“It’s exciting,” Becker said.

“My pitches were all working. I was kind of surprised because of the rain, but they were all working today. It’s warm enough.”

“The weather never helps

with anything, but she did pitch really well through the weather,” Crull said. “I’m just happy for her.”

Crull led the Panthers’ offensive outburst, going 3-for-3 with a walk and four RBIs. Jordan went 2-for-3 with a walk and three RBIs. Goecks went 3-for-4 with one RBI. As a team, Juda-Albany pounded out 14 hits and got contributions throughout the lineup.

“We have our ups and downs,” Crull said. “I know we have gone through some rough patches, but we’re starting to figure it out here toward the end of the year. In the beginning of the season, we had some rough patches. Now, we’re fixing them and figuring it out all together.”

Juda School District holds board meeting JUDA — At its meeting on Wednesday, May 11, the Juda School Board: retained the current slate of board officers for the coming year: Dennis Pfingsten, President; Erick Makos, Vice President; Joann Goecks, Clerk; Pat Daniels, Treasurer; elected Pat Daniels as the CESA 2 delegate and Eric Makos as WASB Correspondent; approved the Independent Register as the official newspaper; approved committee assignments for the coming year; heard a report from the Finance Committee on the 20152016 budget saying no changes will be made to the original budget; approved teacher contracts for the 2015-2016 school year; approved the class of 2016 grad-

Hometown Drug Scripts EXCESS SALT MAY WEAKEN BONES

A diet that is high in sodium may increase a woman’s postmenopausal risk of breaking a bone, according to a Japanese study. A high-salt diet may increase excretion of calcium in urine. This causes calcium to be leached from bone, which can contribute to bone loss and may increase risk of fracture. The study found that women who ate the most sodium had four times the risk of fracture at any site other than the spine.

Protect your bones by eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly, and talk with your healthcare professional or pharmacist about getting enough calcium and vitamin D.

Students are nominated by faculty members for this award for exemplifying their strong writing ability through a unique writing piece. This piece is selected from the students’ coursework and then nominated into one of the many categories. Categories include creative

writing, research papers, expository essays, and many more.

“One of the most important skills that students develop in college is the ability to write well, and UW-Whitewater students have many opportunities to practice this skill throughout their college career,” said Hachten. “Their hard work, skill, and dedication to the craft of writing is inspiring to us all.”

Bus drivers experience school bus fire evacuation during training BRODHEAD — Parents send their children to school every day, knowing and trusting that teachers are going to keep them safe from harm.

But what if something happened on the way to school?

What if a fire broke out on the school bus? Are the bus drivers trained and experienced in evacuating the bus to keep children safe?

Kobussen Buses, Ltd., in partnership with the Brodhead Fire Department, conducted a training class on Wednesday, April 20th at the Brodhead bus terminal to make sure drivers know exactly what to do in case such an emergency arises and are prepared to keep children safe.

Trent Gerber and Heather Oborne from the Brodhead Fire Department spearheaded a realistic emergency training, preparing Kobussen school bus drivers to successfully respond to a fire on a school bus.

Gerber trained the school bus drivers on the types of fire extinguishers and the proper use of a fire extinguisher should a fire occur. Gerber’s instruction included the acronym PASS— Pull the Pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle and Sweep the base of the flames. Each school bus driver was given the opportunity to practice the PASS using a fire extinguisher to extinguish a live fire.

As part of the training, Oborne used a smoke simulator to fill a school bus with smoke to simulate the effects of a fire. The cloud of smoke was so thick that there was zero visibility as the drivers departed the bus one-by-one, helping each other in the process.

Chris Angell, Kobussen Regional Safety Director, spoke to the group and reminded them that quick reaction time is what saves the lives of children.

“You have to think quickly,” he said. “Remember, when you see the first sign of smoke or someone telling you there’s smoke, pull that bus over quickly. A bus can be completely gutted and destroyed in as little as 12 minutes.”

Once everyone was evacuated, Angell reminded the drivers, “The smoke you experienced today is nothing like the black

smoke the kids will experience with a fire.”

Gerber stated, “Remember that when kids get scared, they will most likely hide under their seats, so make sure all kids are accounted for.”

Kobussen Buses, Ltd., is very adamant about the safety of the students at all times. That includes from the time the child is picked up in the morning to the time the child is dropped off at night.

“Safety of the children comes first,” stated Patricia Jensen, Terminal Manager.

Kobussen provides monthly training to its school bus drivers on safety-related issues. This safety training of professional school bus drivers will further assist in giving children the best possible care in a terrifying situation.

Kobussen is a Wisconsinbased company with over 650 dedicated team members who operate and maintain a fleet of luxury motor coaches, school

buses, and special-needsequipped transit vehicles with facilities throughout Wisconsin.

The Brodhead terminal employs 35 professionals who serve the school districts of Albany, Brodhead and Parkview (Orfordville), as well as many other groups with transportation services.

Kobussen is committed to growing into the future with all the friendly drivers treating the folks they transport just like one of the family.

Are you interested in becoming a professional school bus driver? Kobussen Buses offers great paid training, flexible hours, and is currently offering a $300 new driver sign on bonus. No Commercial Driver’s License? Kobussen offers training for qualified applicants.

For more information about available positions, please contact Patricia Jensen, Brodhead Terminal Manager, at (608) 897-9054 or apply online at www.kobussen.com

This supermileage car, built by Brodhead High School students, runs at a tremendous 396 miles per gallon of fuel.

Student-built car takes second place in supermileage show

By Melody Pope Correspondent

BRODHEAD — High school students recently won a secondplace overall standing in a local supermileage car show with a car they built for class.

The car also took 1st place at the competition, 3rd place in mileage, and 3rd place in maneuverability.

Supermileage was a class held 8th hour, first semester, at Brodhead High School.

Second semester, it became an afterschool club that met Monday and Wednesday every week until the supermileage competition.

Students created a model and designed framework around a person inside.

They painted the vehicle, designed a brake system, tested it, created the body, and added decals.

As a result of their efforts, the vehicle runs 396 miles per gallon of fuel.

The director of the class and project is tech ed. teacher, Matthew Pederson.

Keenan Gibson, junior, and Jake Strohmenger, junior, were the “ringleaders” of the supermileage club.

Pederson says Gibson and Strohmenger in particular gave the most hours and demonstrated the most know-how during the project.

The shed/doghouse, a unique challenge to the construction class, will eventually be painted artistically once completed.

MONROE — I’m Molly Wyss, your 2016 Green County Fairest of the Fair.

I am a 22-year-old Monroe High School graduate and Blackhawk Technical College graduate with an Agribusiness Management degree. I am currently attending Rockford Career College for a Veterinary Technician degree in large and small animals and a minor in exotic animals.

Habitat for Humanity continues to benefit community MONROE — As one of Green County’s newer organizations, Habitat for Humanity has been helping seniors, the handicapped and the financially stressed in a number of ways.

Assistance with home repairs and projects by volunteers is a major part of the Habitat mission. Every two years, Habitat helps with the construction of a single family home.

The construction of a new home is a large project that involves new home owner participation both financially and physically.

Habitat volunteers and professional contractors build the home under the management of a paid Habitat employee.

Sometime this year, perhaps during Monroe’s Cheese Days, there will be a raffle or auction for a play house that is currently being built by Habitat volunteers.

In addition, Habitat volunteers assist seniors, the handicapped and the financially stressed with

home repair and construction.

Volunteers help repair a porch, replace a railing, paint a wall, or perhaps mow a lawn. The work is done with reduced or eliminated cost to the home owner.

Habitat for Humanity’s retail store is open Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., Fridays from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The store is large and wellstocked with donated items. Purchases are available to the general public, not just to seniors.

There is currently a wide assortment of merchandise ranging from chairs and tables, to bath and kitchen fixtures and lighting, to mirrors and tiles.

Items may be donated to the store. Call the store and ask for Bobby to arrange for possible pick up of large items.

The retail sales store is located at 1001 30th street in Monroe, and the telephone number is 608328-2128. The email address is store@greencountyhabitat.com

Green County and the Wisconsin State Fairs part of my life.

I started showing dairy cattle in the Open Class event at 5 years old under the watch of my parMOLLY WYSS ents and Frances Rufi. That experience and my older sisters’ project work got me hooked on 4-H and eventually FFA organizations.

My position as official hostess of the Green County Fair gives me opportunities to promote the

‘Spring Blooms’ to be presented

by Green County Master Gardeners MADISON — The Green County Master Gardeners will be holding their monthly meeting on Thursday, May 26th at 7 p.m. at the UW-Madison Arboretum.

Anyone interested in horticulture and gardening is welcomed to join the association at the tour location. Attendees do not need to be Master Gardeners.

Join us with David Stevens, curator of the Longenecker Horticultural Gardens at the UWMadison Arboretum, for a tour of the gardens highlighting their spring splendor.

The gardens, an integral part of the Arboretum since its inception, contain Wisconsin’s premier collection of woody ornamental plants.

Located on 35-acres within the 1200-acre Arboretum, the gardens hold over 3,900 specimens, representing over 2,500 taxa.

Highlights include a major lilac collection, the most up-to-date collection of flowering crabapples in the world, an impressive array of magnolias, and an extensive conifer collection.

The gardens’ mission includes evaluating woody plant cultivars for their suitability and beauty in Wisconsin landscapes and maintaining a comprehensive collection of superior landscape plants for education and enjoyment.

Stevens holds a Bachelor’s degree in Horticulture from Virginia Tech and a Master’s degree in Horticulture from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has worked professionally in the field for over 30 years, both in the U.S. and abroad.

Prior to working with the Arboretum, he spent 13 years working in forest genetics, breeding and selecting native tree species with

the UW-Madison Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology. He and his wife also run a certified organic farm near Baraboo, producing specialty herbs and vegetables.

The Green County Master Gardeners Association meets on the fourth Thursday of the month from February through October.

Association officers for 2016 include Mary Jackson, President; Marilyn Sandin-Ross, Vice President; Kristi Leonard, Secretary; and Lynn Lokken, Treasurer.

Anyone interested in horticulture and gardening is welcomed to join the association and need not be a Master Gardener to become a member.

For more information on the UW-Extension Master Gardener program, contact Mark Mayer, Agriculture Agent, at 608-3289440.

Monroe Clinic announces Family Medicine expansion MONROE — Plans are underway to expand the Family Medicine services at the Monroe Clinic.

The expansion is designed to meet requirements of the Family Medicine Residency Program while providing additional room for new providers joining the Monroe Clinic team.

“Access to primary care physicians is challenging,” said Patrick Loney, Monroe Clinic’s Director of Primary Care and Emergency Services. “This expansion will make it easier for customers to schedule an appointment with a primary care provider more quickly and easily. In addition, it allows us to accommodate the needs of increasing numbers of residency physicians.”

Family Medicine services will expand to occupy the northern portion of the lower level clinic building.

Other services moving to enable this expansion include Employee Wellness (Occupa-

tional Health Services), Pediatrics Medicine, and General Surgery.

The relocations began on Monday, May 16 with Employee Wellness moving into the clinic building’s lower level and will be complete midJune when Pediatrics Medicine moves to the clinic building’s first floor.

Monroe Clinic volunteers will lead in helping customers find their way about the Monroe Clinic campus during the renovation and relocation.

Patients and visitors are encouraged to seek out volunteers in red shirts or any Monroe Clinic employee to help address their way-finding needs.

Monroe Clinic valet service is available Monday through Friday for convenient access to the clinic building.

For details on the Family Medicine expansion and other services being relocated, go to monroeclinic.org/campusupdate

Brodhead Police receive traffic grant BRODHEAD — Police Chief Chris Hughes announced that the Brodhead Police Department was recently awarded a $10,000 traffic grant by the Wisconsin Bureau of Transportation Safety (BOTS).

The grant will provide for dedicated traffic enforcement patrols and equipment purchases.

BOTS awards these funded initiatives based on a data-driven process. The process reviews crash data from the previous year to determine what areas of the state have a traffic safety concern. The process determines traffic crash causes such as

distracted drivers, alcohol usage, speeding, and seatbelt usage.

“We were informed due to the number of injury and fatal traffic crashes which occurred in Green County, as well as the traffic crashes occurring in the City of Brodhead last year, we were selected,” Hughes said.

The Brodhead Police department will be assigning additional officers to run traffic enforcement details between May 1st and Sept. 30th. In addition, the department plans on replacing their aging squad computers and preliminary breath testers.

Police to hold spaghetti supper BRODHEAD — The Brodhead Police Association is hosting a Spaghetti Supper on Saturday, June 18 at the Brodhead High School from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Many silent auction items will be available to bid on. All proceeds from this event will benefit Badger Honor Flight.

Tickets are available at the following locations: Brodhead Sagen & Associates, Brodhead Free Press, Sugar River Bank, and the Brodhead Police Department.

Juda Sugar River Bank Monroe Heartland Graphics, Bartels Co. & Tap, and Sugar River Bank.

Chris Searls shares his knowledge of emergency medical services.

BRODHEAD — At the sixth annual Career Day in April, Brodhead Middle School students learned about a wide variety of careers, including those in law enforcement and emergency medical services.

Emergency Medical Technician Chris Searls shared information about being an EMT, and Brodhead’s Police Chief, Chris Hughes, spoke on the ins and outs of law enforcement. Additionally, Allison Ommodt defined “parole” and “probation” for the students. She also demonstrated a breath test, which she often uses in her career.

Students were able to listen to technical aspects of each career, along with bits of life lessons the speakers have gained through experience.

Presenters also offered their time for a question-and-answer session with students.

AlbAny EMS

By Beth Blakemore Correspondent

ALBANY — The Albany EMS originated in 1975.

“Through the years, Albany EMS has been at the forefront of emergency pre-hospital care in Green County,” according to the Albany EMS website.

Jamie Stephenson, Director of EMS, says that when they get a call, members of the EMS need to spring into action.

“Most people are at home, Stephenson said.

“They go to the station. They wait for a crew.

243527

This tribute is made possible by these fine area merchants: KRANIG EXCAVATING, INC.

They start patient care. They transport them to the hospital.”

Their crew can vary in size. The average crew size is three people. One person is the driver.

Crew members “get the equipment out of the truck and help load the patient on the stretche,” Stephenson said.

The two EMTs attend to the patient at hand. If the patient is not breathing, they breathe for them.

Every month, the Albany EMS holds an organizational training meeting.

EMS operates separately from the fire and police departments, but they have “a working relationship.”

Mitchell Covert named Green County EMT of the year

By Siara Schwartzlow Editor

ALBANY — Mitchell Covert, of Brodhead, was awarded for his dedication as an Emergency Medical Technician at the Green County of the American Legion meeting last month.

Covert has been a member of the Brodhead Area EMS for three-and-a-half years as an EMT and a fill-in driver. He was recently elected as its Personnel Officer, as well.

When he’s not busy working with the Brodhead community, he also works alongside McFarland Fire and Rescue as an EMT. Covert was nominated for the award by the Swann-Gehr Post 197, commanded by Bruce Sutherland. The Green County Commander, Allen Fjestad, presented the award.

The EMT award is given annually to honor the efforts of public safety personal in the Green County area for their dedication and sacrifices.

“This would not have been possible if it

were not for the support of my family, my fellow crew members of Brodhead Area EMS, the Department of American Legion Post 197, and the community of Brodhead itself,” Covert said. “Thank you all for the continuous support to me and the Brodhead Area EMS.” Covert’s interest in the medical services began when he was young.

“At a young age, I was introduced to and gained an appreciation of emergency prehospital medicine, as my father and my family friends were – and still are – members of the Brodhead Area EMS,” he said. “I always looked up to these individuals and always wanted to become an EMT to help individuals in need and to give back to the community that helped me grow into the person I am today.”

Covert has already dedicated himself to giving back to his community, but he’s not done yet.

“Within the next year,” he said, “I plan to Courtesy photo complete the Advanced EMT course to further Mitchell Covert receives an Emergency Medical Technician my education and expand my skills.” certificate from Commander Allen Fjelstad.

Green County Sheriff canine Ike draws a crowd

By Michele Benesh Correspondent

Deputy Kanable uses a thick wrap to demonstrate the force behind Ike’s bite.

BRODHEAD — Ike, Green County Sheriff canine, stole the show at the 65th Anniversary Open House at the Brodhead Veterinary Medical Center last Sunday. The event commemorated the Dr. Ted Marten’s retirement after 40 years.

Ike is a member of the Green County Sheriff’s Department and is credited with at least 126 arrests.

He is a pure-bred German Shepherd but is all black and came to Green County from the Czech Republic, one of several European countries from which most police dogs come.

His handler and 24/7 buddy is Deputy Kanable of the Sheriff’s Department. Kanable is the first and only handler that Ike has ever had, although the dog is the property of the Sheriff’s Department and could technically be assigned to another officer at any time. That would be very sad news for Kanable, but the good news is that when Ike is ready for retirement, the Deputy can buy him for $1.00.

Meanwhile, Ike lives with the deputy and acts like any other family pet when not on duty.

Ike was amazingly well-behaved, despite the huge crowd surrounding him as Deputy Kanable explained what his duties are. He is trained to detect virtually any illegal drug. He is also trained to ignore pizza and cheeseburgers, joked his handler.

He can track missing persons, from an Alzheimer’s patient who has wandered off to a lost child – he only needs to sniff something belonging to the person, like an article of clothing or a pillow.

When Ike is directed to stop fleeing suspects, he grabs an arm or leg and doesn’t let go until Kanable tells him

to, no matter how long it takes.

Once the dog has subdued the subject, handcuffing the individual is easy. The deputy demonstrated Ike’s firm grip using a very heavy fiber cover over his arm, and the demonstration was very impressive.

Ike is always in the car with Kanable, and if the deputy leaves the car to investigate an incident and runs into a dangerous situation, he need only push a button on his belt and the car door will open and allow Ike to come

to his aid.

Attendees of the Open House were also able to enjoy a raffle, tours, refreshments, and horse-drawn wagon rides.

The Brodhead Veterinary Medical Center is to be congratulated on their anniversary and thanked for their great hospitality at the Open House, as well as for providing an extremely educational experience for those in attendance.
