2 | THE CHRONICLE - AUGUST 2018

Staff Notes

Director’s Desk

Alasa and I have been spending the last couple of

months watching a lot of baseball games. Her sons,

Hunter and Saxton, and my grandson, Gavin, play

on opposing teams in Stoughton’s Little League, and

Hunter and Gavin are teammates on Stoughton’s

Traveling Team, playing in weekend tournaments in

neighboring communities, including Verona. It all

adds up to a lot of time outside in the summer sun.

The spectators are a mix - moms and dads cheering

and taking pictures, younger siblings laughing and

running around, teens chatting with friends, cute

puppies, and grandparents like me, settled comfort-

ably into lawn chairs. It’s a snapshot of the best of

small town USA, everyone turning out to support a

group of young boys playing America’s game. The

players are learning a lot about teamwork, backing

each other up, cheering each other on, and being

responsible for their actions, good or bad. They

make a great catch… or bobble the ball. They hit a

home run… or strike out. They pitch well… they

pitch wildly. Sometimes they make a great catch.

Sometimes they make the last out. Once in a while,

they get hit by the ball, and it smarts. There might

be a few tears, but when their coach calls out kind-

ly, “shake it off”, they get up and go on playing. As I

sit there on the sidelines, I can’t help but think that

spending the summer playing Little League is great

preparation for life. Work together as a team,

practice, and learn from your mistakes. Give it

your all. Encourage each other. It’s fine to be

proud when you make a great play, but on those

days when the ball hits you, get up, shake it off, and

go on. Tomorrow is new inning, a fresh chance to

apply all that you’ve learned and try again. Play Ball!

AUGUST is here and many of us are doing

lots of outdoor cooking and picnics. There

are ways you can minimize your family’s risk

of food poisoning by following some simple

guidelines about food safety.

TOP SUMMER FOOD SAFETY TIPS

CLEAN: Wash hands and surfaces often to

avoid the spread of bacteria.

SEPARATE: Keep raw foods separate

from cooked foods to avoid cross-

contamination.

COOK: Make sure you kill harmful bacteria

by cooking food until it reaches the proper

temperature. (Hamburger 71degrees C.

(172F); and Poultry at 74 degrees C.(178F).

Reheat leftovers to at least 165 degrees F.

Always use a meat thermometer.

CHILL: Keep cold foods cold at 4 degrees

Centigrade (approx..32-38F) or colder.

Letting food sit at unsafe temperatures puts

you at risk for foodborne illnesses.

Keep Hot foods Hot and Cold foods Cold!

Remember the 2-hour rule. Keep ALL raw

meat wrapped separately. Always use a

meat thermometer. Chill leftovers as soon

as possible and reheat them to at least 165

degrees.

Have a great time at that next bar-be-que

and picnic by being safe!!

Case Manager News


A big thanks to our case manager Kim for her

compassion and dedication to those we serve.

She’ll be missed, but I know she will do great in

her new position. Thank You Kim!

In the event of a power outage or another

emergency, and if you rely on oxygen or have a

medical condition that limits you to safely exit

your home independently, call me and I will relay

this information to the Dane County

Communication Center (911). They will add

this information to your address so first

responders are aware.

Make sure that the physician or specialist you

are going to is a preferred provider in your

insurance network. Recently, I have run into a

few clients that have been seeing doctors that

they thought were in network, and they weren’t,

which caused them unnecessary out of pocket

costs. Unless you have Medicaid or a managed

care plan such as Care Wisconsin, double check

that your doctors are in your preferred

insurance network. Call me if you’d like me to

review it with you.

???? Remember that time 5 years ago when you

were really upset? Does it really matter now?

What would you do differently if you knew

nobody would judge you? Are you more

worried about doing things right, or doing the

right thing? If you could give your younger self

advice, what would it be? If life is short, then

why do we do so many things we don’t like and

like so many things we don’t do?

“We make our world significant by the

courage of our questions and by the depth

of our answers.” – Carl Sagan

��

It was a very difficult decision but I have

accepted a job with the Department of

Corrections and my last day at the Senior

Center will be July 13.

The Verona Senior Center is truly a

special place, which I recognized when I

was an intern here in 2015-2016. It is the

reason that I continued to be connected to

the organization as a volunteer for the

evening caregiver’s support group and

offering free therapy services during my last

year of graduate school.

I accepted the Case Manager position in

March. I have enjoyed helping and

connecting with the wonderful seniors and

volunteers at the Center and

representatives in the local community.

The staff, Board, and seniors here are

committed and dedicated to making the

Center a wonderful place with great

programs, activities, and services. The

Center helps all of you remain physically

and mentally active and connected, allowing

you to age with dignity, support, and health.

I will miss you and wish you all the best

(and don’t be surprised if you see me

around again as a volunteer or just visiting

friends).

Kim Crowell

Kim, Thank you and best wishes on all

your future endeavors! Mary Hanson
