Hometown Drug Scripts SODA MAY RAISE RISK OF FRACTURE

A recent study showed that drinking soda may increase the risk of hip fracture in postmenopausal women. Each daily 12 oz. serving of soda was linked with a 14% increase in hip fracture risk, even after accounting for activity levels, weight and other factors. Results were the same for all types of sodas; regular and diet, cola and non-cola, and those with caffeine and those without. This supports previous studies linking soda to lower bone density in adolescents. The study doesn’t prove cause-and-effect, only an association, so more research is needed to confirm the findings.

and Wool Festival Offers Family Fun Albany School Board update Sheep JEFFERSON — When it

By Beth Blakemore Correspondent

ALBANY — Agenda items for the July 13 Albany School Board meeting included: a charter update, administrative reports, Principal’s report, Albany Community 1st, the employee handbook, the extracurricular handbook, the parent student handbook, the hiring of a Special Ed. Coordinator, start and end of the school day for staff, an open enrollment game plan, a goals survey, Smart School Improvement Process Planning Guide, sign up for free or reduced lunch and a Building and Grounds update.

The charter update began with the Governors Council having its annual meeting on Wednesday night. They will talk about the charter school.

The charter school wants to give back to the community.

It will give benches. In addition, every single teacher will receive a new laptop, and each exploratory teacher will receive $2,000 to spend.

The administrative report focused on food service. Steve Guenther, Superintendent said that “they are going to do a walk through with different companies” and also will bring a “smorgasbord of samples.”

Connie Gregorson gave the Principal’s report and said that the girls’ softball team went to State, but “didn’t win.” They had a ”nice summer school turnout.” Several academic teams have been meeting in the school. “Kudos to summer employees” who have been doing “summer cleaning and maintenance.” They hired an English teacher and are going to have interviews for other employees.

Guenther mentioned that

Albany Community1st met with over 60 members and “continues to grow.”

As far as the employee handbook goes, it was suggested that the child-rearing leave be changed for adoptive parents who might not have 90 days notice.

For the extracurricular handbook Adam Kopp brought up that it is important “to make sure that a student is in school the whole day of a sporting event.”

They are looking to hire a Special Ed. Coordinator in combination with some other schools. The administrator will receive $15,000 for 42 days in Albany.

Mather brought up the start and end day for staff. The motion passed for the start and end day for staff to be 7:30 to 3:30 with 3:15 leave on Friday.

As far as the open enrollment game plan. Guenther is “not sure where else to go”.

They are “fighting against a geographic situation.” “People don’t work here.” Mather said “We still have work to do on the website and submit articles to the paper.” She questioned “Do we want to create an open enrollment committee?” Mike Marean said we could “start out with monthly updates.”

Gregorson passed out the results of the Board of Education Goals Survey July 2015.

Some of the strengths of the district included “excellent teachers aides and support staff and class size.” The weakness included “building trust –with partners/community, its teaching staff.”

She also passed out SMART School Improvement Process Planning Guide which showed steps in the school improvement process.

Brodhead celebrates Covered Bridge Days this weekend

By Cynthia Miller Editor

BRODHEAD — Join the hundreds of visitors to Brodhead’s annual Covered Bridge Days set for Aug. 7, 8, and 9.

Weekend activities are shared throughout the City, from the Downtown Area, Legion Park, Sugar River Trail, Veterans Park, Jaycee Park, and the South end of town. Visitors need not worry about getting around, there is free wagon shuttle between and south end of town and the downtown area.

In 1984 a replica of the Clarence Covered Bridge, one of the last known covered bridges in use in Wisconsin, was built by the Brodhead Jaycees over Norwegian Creek on the Sugar River Bike Trail.

The original bridge spanned the Sugar River south of town on what is now Highway 11. The replica is approximately 2 1/4 miles north of town on the Sugar River Bike Trail and 1/4 mile north of Golf Course Road.

Weekend events begin Friday evening, Aug. 7 with a Garden Club display, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Bank of Brodhead. A softball tournament will Cynthia L. Miller photo begin that evening at Legion Park.

Bike Across America He’s Sliding Into Home!

Brodhead couple John and Jaine Winters left Wisconsin in May and headed for San Francisco where they have begun their ‘Pearl Island Bike Across America’ challenge. They plan to spend the summer traversing the trails from the Golden Gate Bridge to Kitty Hawk, N.C. As often as possible, the Independent Register will print excerpts and perhaps a few photos from John and Jaine Winter’s blog pearlislandamerica.org.

Those wishing to support their epic journey may do so by visiting pearlislandamerica.com/donate today to find out how they can get involved. For those who would like to donate, but prefer to send a check, it should be made out to ‘Pearl Island’ and can be sent in care of George Downs, W839 Lakeview Circle, Brodhead, Wis. 53520.

July 24: My style of riding has subtly changed since I’ve entered Virginia.

When I started my ride in San Francisco, everything was Tickety-Boo. Check out the link below to get an idea of what I’m talking about. https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=kzVCahrtaWI The start of my ride was like the Danny Kaye video above. Everything was new, fresh, exciting and different. There was the sensation of high adventure, the exciting feeling that comes with dealing with the unknown on a daily basis, the exhilaration of tackling a grand mission. Correspondingly was the naiveté that accompanies one who has not yet experienced the travails that invariably occur with this kind of undertaking.

This ride’s not so “dreamy, peaches and creamy” anymore, that’s for sure. We’re talkin’ more like the two F’s…Focus and Finish.

I got a sense of foreshadowing of how my mindset would change when I met Mike Bosomworth in California (See my May 25 blog ‘Who is NOT riding across America on a bicycle?’). Mike was about 300 miles from his finish line at the Golden Gate Bridge and he was anxious to get there. He told me “I’m getting a little tired now and just want to finish the job.” When I said “You’ll make it no problem!” he countered with “Hey, I’m not there yet, I’m not taking anything for granted until I get there. I don’t want to jinx myself.” He chuckled to himself a little bit for appearing to be superstitious as he normally is not, but he didn’t want anything to go wrong now that he was so close to the end. He went on to say

that every day of riding was starting to take a little bit out of him. He said “Not much, just a bit…but it’s taking a little bit out of me every day and it eventually catches up.” I sort of understood in a general ‘that seems to make sense’ kind of way, but now at 500 miles to the end of my ride I really understand what he was talking about.

Right now, I still feel very strong. I’m 25 lbs lighter than when I started; I’ve ridden 4 rides over 100 miles so far and have averaged 70 miles a day per ride. If you told me I had to ride 100-mile rides every day for the next five days to finish the ride, I know I could do it (well, maybe).

However, every day I get in the saddle I feel just a little bit more tired before I start than the day before. Not much, mind you, but the feeling is there.

I am definitely riding with more purpose and focus. I’m constantly monitoring my body for signs of stress while I ride. I try to keep pedaling at a constant relatively high cadence with a light foot pedal. I’m constantly reminding myself to ‘spin’ rather than ‘run’ as I ride. I’m continually shifting gears as I go up and down hills to keep my speed up and my stress low on my body. All this while I’m finding the smoothest part of the road to ride and making sure I keep out of the way of traffic as best I can.

It’s all about energy management as I ride western hills of Virginia. I’m already sniffing the air to try and catch a whiff of the salty breeze of the Atlantic Ocean.

At the beginning of my ride across America I was taking in all of the sights, sounds and smells of the adventure. Now, it’s all about fin213004

ishing the mission, to put that ‘check in the box’.

I am not alone with this feeling.

I met Greg Baltad at Berea, Va. He is a really cool guy.

He was a great football player in California when he was young and tried out and made the team for the Green Bay Packers in the early 1970’s. He was offered a contract but decided not to go in that direction when he took off his pads one day and realized how all-consuming the sport would be to his life in order for him to perform at that level. Personally, I admire his courage to make that decision at such a young age. He’d probably be pretty beat up today and not able to ride across America. Greg bought a new tire for his back wheel and wanted to keep the old one and asked Jaine if she’d mail it home for him. Jaine mailed the used tire for him the next day.

I met Tom Burns in Elkhorn City on the Kentucky/ Virginia border. He was a warrior just like Mike Bosomworth. He’s from Boston and went to school at Andover, the same city where my Dad grew up as a kid. Tom had some really cool high-tech stuff including a solar panel on the back of his bike to charge his cell phone and other electronic devices. This guy really knew what he was doing when it came to light, long distance travel.

All of us traveled from West to East and are about to finish our rides. All of us have really enjoyed the trip and have had some great adventures, but we’re all in agreement that we’re ready to put our trips to bed.

We’re all like the soldier that realizes he has 10 days left of being ‘in country’.

We’re keeping our ‘heads down low’ and counting the days. We want to finish our mission. We’re near the end of our tour of duty.

July 28: Climb Every Mountain Tomorrow is going to be my last tough ride before I arrive at Kitty Hawk. I’m going to traverse the Blue Ridge Mountains and head down to the Piedmont Plateau.

It is the last mountain I must climb before arriving at Kitty Hawk.

Remember this song? https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=EoCPuhhE6dwI When I was a kid in Seat Pleasant MD (just outside of Washington D.C.) my Mom and Dad took our family to see ‘The Sound of Music’ when it first came out in 1965. We were raised Catholic and it

Greg Baltad sporting a smiley shirt; giving the peace sign.

was one of the few films that weren’t ‘CONDEMNED’ by the church at the time, so we could see it without picking up any sin. It also had nuns in the film so it had to be good.

Anyway, there were a lot of great songs in that musical and one that really stuck with me was ‘Climb Every Mountain’. Remember ‘Do Re Mi’, ‘So Long, Farewell’, ‘Maria’ (How do you solve a problem like), ‘The Lonely Goatherd’, ‘My Favorite Things’, ‘Sixteen Going on Seventeen’?

Man, Rodgers and Hammerstein really socked it over the fence with this one, didn’t they? How many of you can look at the title and start to sing the song?

I bet a lot of you can. C’mon, don’t lie to me!

I remember as a sixth grader blubbering like a baby when Christopher Plummer choked up on stage when he started to sing Edelweiss and Julie Andrews and the rest of the family kicked in to save the song in front of the crowd.

As a sixth grader with my brothers next to me I was fighting like a madman not to weep but I just couldn’t help it. Sadly, that nasty habit

Tom Burns – Road Warrior.

still is with me when I watch movies like that...even the dolphins make me cry. Yup… I’m pretty pathetic, aren’t I? I am going to try to go from Lexington, Va. to Charlottesville, Va., which will be a 70 mile ride. I’ll be going through the town of Vesuvius (how appropriate) during my 2000 ft climb. Once at the top, the route will follow the Blue Ridge Parkway for about 20 miles. Then I exit the Parkway, come down off the Blue Ridge, and after that it’s a slide into home plate!

July 29: John’s climbed to his last high elevation of the trip across America! Rode up to the ridge of the Blue Ridge Parkway, then followed that for some wonderful scenery.

Halfway up the 2000 ft steep climb, a couple on motorcycle stopped and asked John where to get gas. Why would a bike rider know where to find gas? John has never stopped pedaling on any of his uphill climbs, and he was not going to be denied this one...so he pedaled in a circle around the motorcycle while they had their conversation!

How’s that for determination and dexterity!

Green County Master Showman competition winners named MONROE — The 10th annual Green County “Master Showman” was held at the 2015 Green County Fair Saturday night. This event brings in the top senior (grades 10 and above) showmen in the dairy, beef, sheep, swine, goats, rabbits and poultry departments at the fair. Two youth from dairy, beef sheep, swine and goats are invited to participate, where only one youth is selected from the rabbit and poultry divisions.

During the event, 12 members from their respective 4-H Clubs and FFA Chapters show each animal species in a round-robin format. Youth are judged by qualified showmanship judges from the Green County community. After six rotations of the event are completed, the scores are tallied and the member with the highest score becomes the Green County Fair Master Showman.

2015 Master Showman participants were: Alyssa Bailey (Hiawatha 4-H), Jacen Wilinski (New Glarus FFA), Emilie Gietzel (Monticello FFA), Brian Klahn (Oregon FFA), Mariah Ahrens (Brodhead FFA), Rhett Katzenberger (Young Americans), Cheyanna Becherer (Brodhead FFA), Jacob Tollakson (Pecatonica FFA), Jessamine Burch (New Glarus 4-H), Kelsey Klitzman (Dayton Dairylanders 4-H), Mitchell Dammen (Argyle

New roof at middle school

Name

Three-quarters of the roof over the Brodhead Middle School has been replaced and is ready when students arrive for classes on Sept. 1. Last December it was discovered that the roof was leaking and excessive moisture was found in several areas. Work on fixing the roof began in the spring, wet insulation was removed and replaced, mold remediation was completed and damaged wood was replaced or repaired. Cost of the project was projected to be $525,000. The school was constructed in 1957, but there have been several issues with the building over the years.

Income eligibility guidelines released for school and day care meals MADISON — Each year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service updates income eligibility guidelines for meals served at schools and in day care programs based on federal poverty levels.

The income guidelines began July 1 and will remain in effect until June 30, 2016. The guidelines apply to student eligibility for free and reduced-price school meals offered through the National School Lunch or School Breakfast programs and milk offered through the Special Milk program, as well as to reimbursement for meals served in day care centers and family child care homes participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program.

The goal of both school-based and child care food programs is to improve the diets of students and young children and increase the opportunity for them to eat a variety of nutritious foods. The meals and snacks served meet nutrition standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Income eligibility guidelines for the coming school year are as follows: Household size (1) must be at or below $15,301 for free meals,

must be at or between $15,301.01 and $21,775 for reduced price.

Household size (2) $20,709 for free meals, or between $20,709.01 and $29,471 for reduced price.

Household size (3) $26,117 for free meals, or between $26,117.01 and $37,167 for reduced price.

Household size (4) $31,525 for free meals, or between $31,525.01 and $44,863 for reduced price.

Household size (5) $36,933 for free meals, or between $36,933.01 and $52,559 for reduced price; and Household size (6) $42,341 for free meals, or between $42,341.01 and $60,255 for reduced price. For each additional household member over six, add $5,408 for free meals, and between $5,408 and $7,696 for reduced price.

“We all know that hunger makes it harder to concentrate and it’s no different for kids in our schools and day care centers. Hungry kids can’t learn,” said State Superintendent Tony Evers. “The federal school and day care meal programs are designed to support students and children from low-income families so they are fed and can be eager and attentive learners throughout the day.”

(NAPSI) — While every school year is different, one thing that remains the same is the desire to save on school supplies.

Parents are looking to save on more than just dollars and cents.

They want to save on time and stress, too.

To help, award-winning author, radio talk show host and mom Maria Bailey offers tips and advice on how to get yourself and your child off to a successful start this school year: • Shop early: Vacation is a good time to inventory what supplies you already have at home, make a list of what each child needs and start looking for the best deals.

“Many stores offer bargains on school supplies during the summer months, so getting an early start can add up to savings,” said Bailey. She recommends checking out stores such as Staples for low prices on products such as the Omnitech 2GB Swivel Flash Drive or the Flexible Calculator.

• Create a budget: While it can be good to get kids involved and let them choose some items, it’s a smart idea to have a budget. If your children know how much to spend, they can do the math. Budgets can teach children a valuable lesson in both math and economics.

You can also involve your children in the shopping process by showing them how to look for a good deal.

• Keep a family calendar: Buy and post a bulletin board or calendar to help keep everyone on track.

Keep children up-todate on key dates, including school assignments/ tests and extracurricular activities. Also, consider color coding each child’s schedule to stay on top of all the to-do’s. Try Mom’s Agenda calendar or planner from Staples to help keep everyone organized.

• Search for savings: Walking up and down the aisles to find the right product-at the right price-for your child isn’t as hard as you think.

Looking for a good deal can help you save big when buying back-toschool products. Check out your local circular for the top deals each week.

• Buy basics in bulk: While teachers provide lists of specifics, the basics that students need to start out the school year are pretty consistent, so it can pay to buy in bulk, especially if you have more than one child.

Getting organized, looking for deals and mapping out the best way to prepare for the start of school will lead to a stress-free and easy experience.

Back to School School Finance Wisconsin understands the importance of public education, having established the first kindergarten in the nation, and consistently having one of the highest, if not the highest graduation rate of all fifty states. For that tradition of excellence to continue, our schools need financial support, and the system that funds our schools, created decades ago, needs updating to keep up with changing times and population.

That is why State Superintendent Tony Evers

Rite Cut

has proposed “Fair Funding for Our Future,” a plan to change the way we pay for our schools.

The plan recognizes the importance of investing in education, supporting every student, and is responsible to tax payers.

This plan provides fair, sustainable, and transparent funding for schools so that every Wisconsin child can graduate ready to succeed in college or career. The “Fair Funding for Our Future” plan is a realistic first step to bring our school finance system into the 21st century. The plan makes long overdue changes to the school funding formula, maximizes existing resources, and sets the stage for greater state support in future years. It invests state education dollars in every student and ensures that all money designated as state support for schools goes to the districts directly, instead of sending some through a complex tax credit formula. The “Fair Funding” plan also considers poverty rates as opposed to only local property values as a way to determine state aid to schools.

“We do it the right way at The Rite Cut”

• Accounts for family income and student poverty instead of relying solely on local property values •Provides additional support to rural schools and schools with declining enrollments • Holds the line on property taxes • Directs all state aid right to school boards • Establishes predictable growth in state funding for schools • Restores additional revenue limit authority to all districts The “Fair Funding for Our Future” plan reorganizes existing dollars to better serve our students. The plan implements long overdue school funding changes to ensure all school districts receive aid, accounts for families’ ability to pay, holds the line on property taxes, and increases transparency in a funding system that currently few understand. Reforming Wisconsin’s school finance system will pay dividends for years to come.

Albany Elementary is top state collector in recycling program Local school turns used beauty products into cash ALBANY — Albany Elementary School is a top state collector of hair care, skin care, and cosmetic product packaging for the Personal Care and Beauty Brigade®, a free, national recycling program created by Garnier® and TerraCycle®. By collecting used personal care and beauty packaging, this school has helped to divert nearly 4,000 units of waste from landfills.

After they sign up to join a recycling Brigade, organizations earn points for every unit of waste they collect and send to TerraCycle. The points can be redeemed for charitable gifts or a cash donation to the non-profit of the collector’s choice. TerraCycle will turn the collected packaging materials into new plastic products such as park benches and recycling bins.

“Thank you to everyone who makes this Brigade successful,” said Tom Szaky, TerraCycle CEO, “The Personal Care and Beauty Brigade has become one of our top collection programs and I am excited for it to keep growing.”

Brigade participants have collected more than 5.3 million units of personal care and beauty items and earned over $105,000 for charity.

Any school, individual, families or organizations interested in recycling with TerraCycle can learn more about the Brigade programs and sign up for free at www.terracycle.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Wisconsin has a new budget balanced by borrowing $800 million to make up for a shortage of revenue to pay our obligations.

My questions of these socalled courageous legislators is: Where was this courage needed to admit it was a mistake to repeal the automatic annual increase in the gas tax a few years back? Where was the courage needed to reinstate this increased needed to keep up with the rapidly increasing costs of funding our infrastructure?

These same legislators had no problem slipping a bill into the budget in an attempt to give them total secrecy when dealing with the business of spending our tax dollars. I guess courage and conscience only come into play when there is a benefit to themselves and their wealthy campaign contributors.

These same selective qualities are shared by the conservative majority of our Supreme Court.

I believe that a good housecleaning is due in Madison.

Back on the farm when the gutters were full, we cleaned the barns. The same should hold true for our government.

Most all lake property owners are concerned with this as it has a tendency to lower property values. Most all Brodhead property owners aren’t that concerned as it is not their property. The general opinion seems to be Brodhead has no vested interest in Decatur Lake. I am of the opinion that all should take a closer look at this.

Center in Janesville where he was admitted for nonlife threatening injuries. All three occupants were wearing safety belts at the time of the crash.

Speed and alcohol are not believed to be contributing factors in the crash. The stop sign in question was obscured by foliage and the wooded tree line on one side of the road along with high corn on the opposite side made the intersection extremely difficult to see.

The 53 year-old female was also unfamiliar with the area as the road is typically one which is less traveled.

The Rock County medical Examiner’s Office released the names of the two individuals who died in the traffic crash. The deceased driver of the car was pronounced at the scene was Kay Ellen Coleman, 53, Madison.

Preliminary results of the autopsy indicated that Ms. Coleman died from injuries sustained in the traffic crash.

The front seat passenger in the vehicle driven by Colmen died at the scene as well. He has been identified as Michael D. Crotty, 46, Evansville. Preliminary autopsy results indicated that Crotty’s death was the result of injuries sustained in the traffic crash. Additional testing is underway for both subjects.

Both deaths remain under investigation by the Rock County Sheriff’s Office and the Rock County medical Examiner’s Department.

Decatur Township area, Green County, and all South Central Wisconsin.

Many frustrated citizens say Brodhead has let economic opportunity slip through its fingers in the past and we are just a “dead’ community. Be that as it may we are now faced with a very challenging opportunity. Can the local governments and citizens of both Brodhead and Decatur Township come together to create a mutually beneficial and equably funded solution to our shared conundrum?

It is my hope the Brodhead Common Council and the Brodhead Economic Development Committee will seriously consider forming an Exploratory Committee reaching out to Decatur Township to consider the possibilities. No freebies, everyone carries their share of the load, all for the common good.

Just a sidebar: any committee ideally would be made up of a majority of volunteer citizens, maybe a council member and have a sunset date on their objective plus a limited budget.

I humbly hope both Brodhead and Decatur Township governments and citizens consider this submittal.

Respectfully, Tim Stocks, Brodhead, Wis.
