‘It will never define me’ New Glarus woman serves as Relay for Life’s honorary survivor

By Marian Viney CONTRIBUTOR

This year, Wisconsin Relay for Life events are going virtual, including the one in Green County that was scheduled for July in Monroe.

On Saturday, Aug. 1, participants will “gather” as one state to celebrate, using the American Cancer Society of Wisconsin’s Facebook page in showing those fighting cancer that “Hope Lives Here.”

Lisa Martin, now 34, of New Glarus, will serve as Relay for Life of Green County’s honorary survivor.

She is a graduate of Juda High School, wife of Chad and mother to Kaylin, 13, and Lana, 9, and is a quality manager at Cleaver Brooks in Monroe.

Her journey with cancer started in 2019.

“2019 was going to be the best year yet with many memories to be made,” Martin said. “I started a new job at Cleaver Brooks and instantly fit in with the team, and Chad came home from his deployment overseas.”

Several months flew by as the family returned to its normal routine.

“Then on May 24, I found a lump on my right breast,” Martin said. “At this point, the word cancer popped into my head but didn’t stay there.

There was no way, not me, I’m too young.”

Martin called her primary doctor and was asked to come in. During the appointment, they discussed the fact there was no known family history of breast cancer. Her doctor recommended.

“On June 7, I was scheduled for

a mammogram and ultrasound,” Martin said. “The next thing I know the radiologist and two nurses are walking in the room. My heart begins beating very fast. He begins asking me of family history of breast cancer. I explain there is none. He began talking about the margins and the blood flow through the mass and the last words I remember were, ‘Lisa, I’m very concerned.’”

Martin said that is when reality hit,

and she realized that it wasn’t going to be the year she thought it would and her life was about to change quickly.

“We proceeded with a biopsy, which confirmed grade 3 ER/PR positive infiltrating ductal carcinoma,” Martin explained. “After the biopsy our life consisted of doctor appointments, and we learned a lot very quickly.”

On June 19, Martin and her doc-

More information From 8:15 to 9:15 p.m. on Aug. 1, the Relay for Life of Green County will hold a walk- and driveby luminaria event at Jaycee Park in Brodhead, showcasing the luminaria bags that people have purchased in memory or honor of loved ones.

Luminaria bags also can be purchased online and donations can be made to teams, team

members or to the event using the website or forms posted on the website.

The deadline for luminaria orders is Saturday, July 25, in order to complete the online presentation.

tors discussed options.

“I learned that not everyone has to go through chemo,” she said. “After discussions and weighing the odds, we leaned toward the lumpectomy and getting prepared for the procedure, but on June 27, we got MRI results back and it indicated six more cancer masses. There was no choice but to do a mastectomy.”

Two weeks later, Martin received the results from her genetic testing, and her doctors learned that she was BRCA positive. Plans changed again, and she was scheduled for a double mastectomy.

“On July 12, I was scheduled for a double mastectomy, but equally as important lymph node testing,” Martin said. “This is the day it hit me. I remember the endless thoughts and prayer messages and my family standing around my bed. This is when I realized this is real. I have

breast cancer and I’m scared.”

After the surgery, Martin recalls asking her husband the results of the lymph node testing.

“Once again another smack in the face,” Martin said. “They tested positive, meaning that the cancer had spread into my lymphatic system.

This meant that I was going to have to go through chemo.”

Martin’s doctors also learned that not only were the six masses cancerous and her lymph nodes positive for cancer, but they also found intralymphatic spread. This is when cancer cells broke into her lymph channels, which carry blood and fluid back and forth from breast tissue to the rest of the body.

On Aug. 13, Martin endured her first chemo treatment.

“My emotions ran extremely high and I was so scared,” Martin said. “I hear the words, ‘In about two weeks your hair will begin to fall out in chunks.’ This was all I could focus on.”

Martin went through eight rounds of chemo, which were administered every two weeks.

“To this day, I still gag when I think of chewing on ice chips while they administered the chemo drug known as the ‘red devil,’” Martin said. “The days that followed the chemo treatments were rough. I was sick, and it would take about a week to recover.”

On Aug. 27, Martin’s hair started coming out in chunks.

“It was the day that my husband shaved my head,” Martin said.

The next step was radiation, which started on Dec. 19, a daily regimen that scheduled to last for six weeks.

“The worst part about this was the drive to Madison for a 10-minute appointment,” Martin said. “I got really sick during this process and had to postpone some treatments, but I managed to finish it, and rang the bell on the last day.”

On Feb. 11, 2020, Martin met with her oncologist and he said, “Time will tell us when you are cancer free.”

Martin attended counseling sessions and learned to watch for signs and symptoms to be concerned about.

“Even though I was happy treatments were done, I knew that this was never going to go away,” she said. “After having cancer, does a person ever reach a state of mind that says, ‘I don’t have cancer anymore and it is never coming back?’

With every ache, pain or something different going on in my body, the first thought, ‘Is this the cancer?’”

Martin said she has had a couple of scares, but thankfully the biopsies came back negative.

Because Martin carries the BRCA gene, it puts her at higher risk of developing ovarian cancer.

“Even though I’m young, the doctors thought it best to remove my ovaries, fallopian tubes and start a long-term medicine to stop my body from producing estrogen, which my type of cancer feeds off.”

On May 22, she underwent the first of two procedures.

“This journey was not easy, and it put me through emotions that I never knew I had,” Martin said. “It has changed my and my family’s life. It has taken a lot of things from me, but it will never define me.”

Martin said she chose to work through this process because her job was a place to go that didn’t focus around the fact she had cancer.

“This place and the people kept me smiling throughout the roughest

of days,” Martin said. “I have the best support system from family, friends, my work family, community, my hometown Juda, and people that I have never met. We are truly blessed.”

“There are never enough words to explain how thankful we are for you,” Martin said about her caregivers. “You have touched our lives in ways that can never be truly explained. To my caregivers and supporters, you guys got me through this. I will forever be thankful and grateful for everything you have done. Thank you for everything you have done to help my family.

“There are too many of you to mention, but there is one person that I need to mention,” Martin added.

“To my husband, Chad. You saw me at my worst and best throughout this process. It wasn’t my life that changed; it was our life that changed. You spent many times right by my side as I struggled, holding my hand, wiping my tears, holding me and comforting me. You not only took care of me, but you never missed a beat with our girls. You are an amazing husband and father. You are our rock and we are very lucky to share this beautiful life with you by our side. I love you.”

Martin added that if there is one thing others should know is the importance of self-checking.

“This is something I didn’t do because I thought something like this would never happen to me,” Martin

said. “Unfortunately, mammograms are not given until the age of 40.

Please encourage and stress the importance of self-checks at a young age.”

She also wants others to know that even though the treatment process is extremely difficult, it is OK to smile.

“Smile and enjoy the good days you do have,” Martin said. “There were days I forced myself to get out and I am thankful that I did. We spent so much time caught up in the appointments and daily events that go along with having this terrible disease that it is so easy to forget to be ourselves and enjoy moments.”

Ringhand supports unemployment legislation On July 16, Democrats introduced legislation to remove some of the roadblocks in the unemployment system.

According to the news release, laws passed between 2011-2018 restricted unemployment benefits and made it harder to apply, thus leaving residents fighting the system while Wisconsin has been trying to scale up unemployment during the pandemic.

“Making unemployment more difficult appealed to a lot of Republicans who never thought that their neighbors would be thrown out of

work by an act of God,” Ringhand added. “The bottom line is that if there is anything we can do to speed up the process, we should do it and we should do it now.”

The proposed legislative package includes: • LRB 6244: Allowing social security disability (SSDI) recipients to receive concurrent unemployment insurance benefits; • LRB 6246: Reinstating the ability of those participating in extended occupational training to receive extended UI benefits; • LRB 6249: Suspending the $500

Applications open for food security grants The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is inviting food banks and other eligible nonprofit organizations to apply for the COVID-19 Food Security and Wisconsin Products grant program.

The application period runs through 5 p.m. on Wednesday, July 29.

This is the second grant available under the Food Security Initiative.

Last week the department released a Request for Proposals for an estimated $10 million in grants to help organizations buy Wisconsin products for distribution to people experiencing food insecurity.

Applications can be completed online at FoodSecurity.wi.gov. Grant funds will be distributed through a competitive review process and will be awarded for costs that are related to COVID-19 and are incurred between March 1 and Dec. 30, 2020. Payments are estimated to be issued beginning in mid-August.

Among other materials, applications must include a letter documenting a commitment to provide a specific Wisconsin food product for purchase by the applicant. For the purposes of the COVID-19 Food Security and Wisconsin Product grants, a Wisconsin food product is defined as at least 50 percent of the value of the product or service being attributable to Wisconsin ingredients, production or processing activities.

The DATCP encourages food pantries and ineligible organizations, such as tribal nations or agricultural commodity groups, to work through their respective food banks to ensure their needs are represented and demonstrate partnerships.

If an organization needs assistance connecting with eligible organizations, they should email DATCPFoodSecurityInitiative@wisconsin. gov with their contact information. DATCP will distribute that information to eligible food banks statewide.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused thousands of Wisconsinites to lose their jobs through no fault of their own.

“Workers deserve relief,” District 15 State Senator Janis Ringhand, D-Evansville, said in a news release after members of her party introduced unemployment legislation.

“The roadblocks to unemployment that have been put in place over the last decade have jammed up our system and made it more difficult, if not impossible, for people to get their unemployment claims approved.”

Evers creates task force on broadband access band Deployment Report, 7.1 percent of Wisconsin residents lack access to at least one broadband service with a speed of 25/3 Mbps or better, compared to the national average of 5.6 percent. This percentage deepens in rural areas of our state where 26.7 percent of Wisconsin residents lack access to at least one broadband service.

In March, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin awarded $24 million through the Broadband Expansion Grant Program, which was part of a $48 million investment in broadband included in Evers’ first biennial budget.

That one round of funding invested more money in broadband than in the previous seven rounds of grants combined, according to PSC Chairperson Becky Valcq.

In addition to the Broadband Expansion Grant Program, Wisconsin needs creative solutions to bridge the digital divide. The task force will

Green County Sheriff’s report July 19 Motorcycle vs. deer At approximately 10:43 a.m., deputies, Green County EMS and the Browntown Fire Department responded to the W7300 block of Wisconsin Highway 81 in the Town of Jordan for a report of a motorcycle versus deer crash.

The investigation revealed that Jonathan C. Stoeger, 40, of Argyle, was traveling westbound when a deer entered the roadway and collided with his motorcycle. The collision caused Stoeger to lose control of the motorcycle, which slid on its side in the roadway and came to a rest.

“In many cases, the hardest part of getting access to all is finding ways to connect that last half-mile —sometimes literally down country roads and driveways to homes and businesses,” Valcq said in the news release.

Brittany Beyer, executive director for Grow North Regional Economic Development Corporation, will chair the task force, which consists of members who represent a balance of interests, perspectives and areas

of expertise. It will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders to research and develop recommendations for actions so that all Wisconsinites can have access to this essential and critical service needed for daily life.

The task force will prepare an annual report that will include the current state of broadband in the state, as well as recommendations for policies and initiatives to overcome challenges to statewide affordability, access and adoption.

in our broadband infrastructure in Wisconsin history, but we know we have more work to do and we have to connect the dots on how the lack of reliable, affordable broadband affects folks across our state.

“This task force will bring together experts from across the state to research and recommend solutions that state leaders can adopt to connect every person in Wisconsin.”

Broadband access is an essential catalyst to drive community, public safety, learning, health and economic goals across the state of Wisconsin, according to the news release, and as outlined in a recent report by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, will be critical to the state’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

As such, there are dire consequences that result from a lack of connectivity.

Gov. Tony Evers on July 14 signed Executive Order #80, creating the Governor’s Task Force on Broadband Access.

It will advise Evers and the Wisconsin Legislature about broadband actions and policy, including strategies for successfully expanding high-speed internet access to every residence, business and institution in the state; initiatives for digital inclusion; and pathways to unlocking and optimizing the benefits of statewide, affordable access to broadband for all communities in Wisconsin.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored that access to high-speed broadband is a necessity, not a luxury, and folks across our state have had to adapt—from kids and educators shifting to virtual classrooms, workers having to work from home and even folks using telemedicine to visit with their doctor,” Evers said in a news release. “I’m proud the People’s Budget made the largest investment

Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board.

No person shall be allowed to appear before the Board of Review to testify to the Board by telephone or to contest the amount of any assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a reasonable written request by certified mail of the Assessor to enter onto property to conduct an exterior view such property being assessed .

After the first meeting of the Board of Review and before the Board’s final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the Board of Review may contact or provide information to a member of the Board about the person’s objection except at a session of the Board.

The Board of Review may not hear an objection to the amount or valuation of property unless, at least 48 hours before the Board’s first scheduled meeting, the objector provides to the Board’s clerk written or oral notice of an intent to file an objection, except that upon a showing of good cause and the submission of a written objection, the board shall waive that requirement during the first 2 hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, and the Board may waive that requirement up to the end of the 5th day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than 5 days with proof of extraordinary circumstances for failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and failure to appear before the Board of Review during the first 2 hours of the first scheduled meeting.

Objections to the amount of valuation of property shall first be made in writing and filed with the clerk of the Board of Review within the first 2 hours of the Board’s first scheduled meeting, except that, upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, the Board may waive that requirement up to the end of the 5th day of the session or up to the end of the final day of the session if the session is less than 5 days. The Board may require objections to the amount or valuation of property to be submitted on forms approved by the Department of Revenue, and the Board shall require that any forms include stated valuations of the property in question. Persons who own land and improvements to that land may object to the aggregate valuation of that land and improvements to that land, but no person who owns land and improvements to that land may object only to the valuation of that land or only to the valuation of improvements to that land. No person may be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property unless the written objection has been filed and that person in good faith presented evidence to the board in support of the objections and made full disclosure before the Board, under oath, of all of that person’s property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that property. The requirement that objections be in writing may be waived by express action of the Board.

When appearing before the Board of Review, the objecting person

No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone or object to a valuation if that valuation was made by the Assessor or the Objector using the income method of valuation, unless the person supplies the Assessor with all of the information about income and expenses, as specified in the Assessor’s manual under Sec. 73.03(2a), Wis. Stats, that the Assessor requests. The Town of Albany has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the assessor under this paragraph that provides exceptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or the duties of their officer or by order of the court. The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and coping under Wisconsin State Statutes 19.35(1), Wis. stats.

The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability.

No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone, or contest the amount of any assessment unless, at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board, or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed under s.70.47(3)(a), Wis. Stats., that person provides to the clerk of the Board of Review notice as to whether the person will ask for the removal of a member of the Board of Review and, if so, which member, and provides a reasonable estimate of the length of time the hearing will take.

Anyone wishing to file an objection must contact the Town Clerk to complete and submit the required objection form supplied by the Town prior to appearing before the Board of Review. Objections will be scheduled to be heard by the Board in the order in which they are received by the Town Clerk.

Notice is hereby given this 15th day of July, 2020.
