This month Wisconsin homeown-ers received a larger Lottery and Gaming Credit on their property tax bills than last year. The estimated $24 increase in the average credit is due, primarily, to lottery sales exceeding estimates, which resulted in a high-er opening balance for 2019-20. In 2018-19, the corresponding Lottery and Gaming Credit was $160.

“The Lottery Credit this year is 15 percent higher than last year,” said

Peter Barca, Wisconsin Department of Revenue Secretary. “This is due, primarily, to the Wisconsin Lottery having a banner year, and the credit returned to homeowners is based on Lottery profits.”

Overall, the Lottery Credit dis-tributed more than $271 million to Wisconsin homeowners for property taxes levied in 2019. Last year, that figure was $236 million. Since 1988, the Wisconsin Lottery has provided

over $4.6 billion in property tax relief to eligible Wisconsin homeowners.

The Lottery Credit is shown on tax bills as a reduction of property taxes due. If a taxpayer pays their taxes in two or more installments, the credit is applied to the first installment. The credit is paid by the state to counties or municipalities on the fourth Mon-day in March. The county or munic-ipality receiving the payment settles with overlying taxing jurisdictions.

As three classes of Nancy B. Park-er Scholars celebrate the end of finals week, Blackhawk Technical College is celebrating the announcement of a large gift to the scholarship pro-gram. The JP Cullen Foundation, the charitable arm of the nationally rec-ognized construction company head-quartered in Janesville, has pledged

$50,000 to the Nancy B. Parker Nursing Scholars Program.

The decision to support the Parker Scholars Program is a personal one for the Cullen family. “When my fa-ther, J.P. relied on 24/7 homecare, he was cared for by a number of indi-viduals who were CNAs looking to obtain their nursing degree. They re-

ally made a positive difference in his care,” said Mark Cullen, Chairman of JP Cullen.

The Parker Scholars program at Blackhawk launched in fall 2018 thanks to the generosity of the Park-er Family Foundation. First-year students can be eligible for a $1,000 maximum award with an opportunity

JP Cullen donates $50K to the Nancy B. Parker Scholars program at Blackhawk Tech

Average Lottery and Gaming Credit on Wisconsin property tax bills is $184

for an additional $1,500 in year two. With another class of scholars set to begin in January, over thirty nursing students will be beneficiaries of the award that targets high-achieving students in the Blackhawk Technical College nursing program.

The purpose of the scholarship is three-fold: increase diversity in the nursing program, improve nursing student retention, and retain nurses in Rock and Green Counties.

“The degree of compassion and outstanding quality of the Black-hawk Technical College Nursing Program is something we hope can continue to have a positive effect on families just like ours in the future. We are thankful that we are able to contribute to a program that keeps Wisconsin vital and growing,” con-tinued Cullen.

The JP Cullen Foundation is ac-tively engaged in supporting educa-tion throughout our region and state through mentorship, internships, and co-ops as well as hosting a large

hands-on career fair for high school students interested in construction.

JP Cullen is a fifth-generation family construction business with more than 800 employees. It is noted for taking on challenging govern-ment, education, healthcare, com-merce, arts and entertainment, and historic restoration projects across Wisconsin, northern Illinois, and northeast Iowa.

“This generous donation is just one example of the Cullen family’s commitment to our community,” said Dr. Tracy Pierner, President of Blackhawk Technical College. “They clearly understand the im-portance of a technical college ed-ucation, and how our graduates fill essential positions in the workforce and contribute to the economic growth of our region.”

Parkview School District’s 2018-19 WI Department of Public Instruc-tion report card score of 79.3 out of 100 (4 out of 5 stars) was the highest district score for any district in Rock or Green County. If you are interest-ed in reviewing Parkview’s report card in detail or that of another dis-trict, please go to the following site: apps2.dpi.wi.gov/reportcards/home.

Specifically, the Parkview School District earned four (4) stars out of five (5) on the state report card from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, issued for the 2018-19 school year. Based on the star rating, Parkview School District exceeds expectations for educating students. Report cards are issued based on four priority areas: student achievement

in English language arts and mathe-matics, student growth, closing gaps between student populations, and measures of readiness for graduation and postsecondary success.

Each school in the Parkview School District also received an individual state report card score. Parkview Elementary earned four (4) stars out of five (5). Parkview Senior High also earned four (4) stars out of five (5) on state report card from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Based on the star rating, PES and Parkview SR High exceed expectations for educating students. Parkview Junior High earned three (3) stars out of five (5), missing the exceeds expectations category by .3 points. Based on the star rating,

Parkview JR High meets expecta-tions for educating students.

Parkview administers several in-ternal assessments throughout the year to monitor student achievement and target instruction to identified growth areas. The teachers and ad-ministration in each school have analyzed the results provided in the report cards and are using the infor-mation along with the results from internal assessments to continue ad-vancing the achievement level for all students. The results from the inter-nal assessments are consistent with the results shown on the state report cards.

It is the goal of the District to move each school and the district to the 5-star level for 2019-20.

Happy New Year from the Parkview Youth Center! We’re so happy that the youth center can con-tinue its services to the youth of the Parkview School District in 2020.

December flew by for us as we were busy making wooden ornaments to take home, ornaments to decorate the center’s Christmas tree, and beautiful stocking ornaments for the residents of the Next Inning. Thank you to ev-eryone who baked or bought baked goods from our Christmas bake sale. Your support is generous and appreci-ated! That being said, we want to say a special thank you to those of you who have donated snacks, money, and your time volunteering. We truly couldn’t do this without you!

We have an average of 15 teens who attend the center on a weekly basis. They enjoy their time at the youth center and are always up for new activities. If you are interested in volunteering or have a talent to

share with the youth, please contact Teena Gerber at 608-295-3345 or tgerber5@hotmail.com.

Just a reminder, the Parkview Youth Center is open Thursdays, 3-6 p.m. at Orfordville Lutheran Church for students of the Parkview School District in grades 7-12. We are open when school is in regular ses-sion. The center is for fun, food, and friendship!

Nicole Timm, RN, a nurse at Mon-roe Clinic – Brodhead, received the DAISY Award based on a nomina-tion from a fellow nurse. Nicole has been a nurse with Monroe Clinic for four years.

Nicole’s award nomination was written by fellow Monroe Clinic nurses Brenda Schooff and Beth Daniels. “Nicole is always willing and knowledgeable when it comes to patient teaching and compassion. I know of several times when she has returned calls to patients and encour-aged them to come in to ‘just get a hug’ if they’re having a bad day,” shared Brenda.

“Recently, I worked alongside Ni-cole and a group of amazing Mon-roe Clinic employees to help save a little boy’s life,” said Beth. “Nicole was calm the entire time and confi-dent in her skills as a nurse, knowing just what to do and say to calm the father’s nerves. She took charge of the situation, providing leadership to her coworkers and taking instruction from providers, doing precisely what they teach you to do in emergency situations. I couldn’t be more bless-ed to have her working beside me on our team.”

Many of Nicole’s coworkers, fam-ily and friends attended her DAISY Award ceremony at Monroe Clinic - Brodhead. There, many more stories of Nicole’s extraordinary care, both at work and in the community, were shared with her family and friends.

The DAISY Award is a nationwide program that celebrates the extraor-

dinary clinic skill and compassionate care delivered by nurses every day. Nicole is one of three million nurses nationwide who represent the largest healthcare profession. Monroe Clinic employs over 250 nurses serving pa-tients throughout Southern Wiscon-sin and Northern Illinois.

Monroe Clinic asks the communi-ty to help spotlight the extraordinary contributions of nurses, like Nicole, by nominating them for the DAISY Award. Nomination forms are avail-able at any Monroe Clinic location and online at www.monroeclinic.org/daisy.

Monroe Clinic volunteers opens partnership scholarship applications

Monroe Clinic Volunteers in Part-nership is once again offering two types of scholarships for students seek-ing a career in the healthcare field. The headline for application submission is Feb. 28, 2020.

The first type of scholarship is for high school seniors. Monroe Clinic Volunteers in Partnership awards four $500 scholarships to graduating high school seniors each year. Two scholar-ships will be awarded to Monroe High School seniors and two scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors from communities with Monroe Clinic branch sites – Albany, Blanchardville, Brodhead, New Glarus, Durand, Free-port and Lena – or who live within an area serviced by a branch site or who have a parent that is employed by Monroe Clinic.

The second type of scholarship is for continued education students. Applica-tions for five $1,500 scholarships are available for Monroe Clinic’s service area college students. Applicants must have completed at least one year of ad-vanced study (beyond high school) in a health-related field and be a resident of a community with a Monroe Clinic

location or a resident within Monroe Clinic’s service area or an employee or child of a Monroe Clinic employee.

Requirements for both types of scholarships are the individual must be pursuing a degree or certificate in a healthcare related field, have a GPA of 3.25 or higher with an emphasis on science and math, and all applications must be typed. In no specific order, recipients will be selected based on citizenship, need and school & outside activities.

Students who have received a Mon-roe Clinic Volunteers in Partnership $500 scholarship in the past are eligible to apply for the advance study scholar-ship. However, an individual may only receive each scholarship once.

Applications are available at www.monroeclinic.org. For more informa-tion, please call Dawn Meier, Volun-teer Coordinator, at 608-324-1569.

Monroe Clinic recognized with 2019 Performance Leadership award

Monroe Clinic is proud to be recog-nized by The Chartis Center of Rural Health and the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NO-SORH) for Performance Leadership excellence in Patient Perspectives.

This award reflects top performance among all rural hospitals in the nation.

“While our purpose is not to earn awards, this recent recognition is an-other demonstration of how Monroe Clinic is committed to offering the very best care to our communities,” explains Chelsea Hardacre, Monroe Clinic Interim Chief Nursing Officer and Director of Quality. “To be rec-ognized this way tells us our team is achieving good clinic results while keeping the care personalized to each individual’s needs.”

The Performance Leadership Awards are determined each year using iVantage Health Analytics’ Hospital Strength INDEX®, the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assess-ment of rural hospital performance. Leveraging data from public data sources, the INDEX aggregates data from 50 rural-relevant metrics across eight pillars to derive a single overall percentile rating for all Critical Access Hospitals and Rural & Community Hospitals. The Performance Leader-ship Awards spotlight top performance in the areas of Quality, Outcomes and Patient Perspective.

To see what quality means to Mon-roe Clinic, visit www.monroeclinic.org/quality.

Christmas Stocking Project The Next Generation 4-H Club helped the Monroe Woman’s Club with their Christmas Stocking project. This event wraps up the month long effort from the MWC members to provide a joyous holi-

day to as many families as they can. The 4-Hers provided over 66 club members/families to assist with this project. It’s just another way that the club helps out where they are needed in the community.

Come to the library for an open play time and play the winter away!
