                     May is a month with so much happening! We begin with May Day, which my research shows has
                  nothing to do with the cry of “mayday” that can be heard during times of distress. Do you recall
                  making May Baskets, or doing a dance around the May Pole? May 1 this year also brings Ramadan
                  to a close. Plants are notably pushing through the soil and surely most of us have seen the proverbial
                  first robin of spring by now. Cinco De Mayo is a celebration of a battle Mexico won over the French
(but shouldn’t be mistaken for Mexican Independence Day, which is celebrated in September). Mothers are celebrat-
ed. We may not all be mothers, but most of us had someone in our lives we looked to as a mother figure. Older
Americans are celebrated throughout the month of May, although we like to think we celebrate older Americans all
year. The Kentucky Derby will be run, then the Indy 500 and baseball is going in earnest. The local parks and sports
fields are filled with kids, young and old, dabbling or excelling in the sport of their choice. There is much to do, to
watch or to cheer. Take some time to get outside, look around for a
moment and just breathe.

  I joined the team here at the ADRC-Aging Unit in early February
and have so enjoyed getting to know more about the incredible group
of people that are here and the programs and services they provide.
Some may know me as the Dementia Care Specialist in Rock Coun-
ty. This month will bring a new person to that role. We look forward
to introducing them to you over the next few weeks. Here at the Ag-
ing Unit, Health Promotion is planning to add a Spanish version of
the class Living Well with Diabetes called Vivir Saludable con Dia-
betes, an exciting addition to an already great line up. This spring
will kick off the biggest Wednesday Walk season ever and the num-
ber of home delivered meals continues to grow each month. Watch
the June issue for information on the 2022 Farmers Market Voucher
program.

  We also have nearly twice as many people being served in our
caregiver programs compared to this time last year. We are working
on adding to our fleet of transit buses, but are in the same holding
pattern as many others who are seeking new vehicles. I encourage                   WHAT’S INSIDE

HELP PREVENT FOODSHARE FRAUD

FoodShare benefits continue to be a target for fraud, and can result in members losing benefits in their account.
If that happens, members can't buy food until benefits are reissued. Here are some ways you can help protect
your identity and FoodShare benefits:
    Monitor your benefits. Use the QUEST card website or call QUEST Card Service at 877-415-5164 to check
        the balance of your benefits regularly.
    Change your EBT card PIN by calling QUEST Card Service at 877-415-5164. Use a unique number that can-
        not be easily discovered. Don’t use easy-to-guess numbers such as 2345 or 0000.
    Consider adding a password to your EBT account. This password prevents someone from ordering a new card
        and using your benefits, cancelling your card, or changing your PIN. Contact your agency for assistance in
        setting up an EBT account password.
    If your card is stolen or lost, report it immediately to QUEST Card Service at 877-415-5164.
    If you believe your account has been accessed without your permission, call your agency to try and verify if any-

                                                                                                                                      MAY 2022
        one besides you has been using your account.
The misuse of public funds affects each person who lives in Wisconsin. All individuals are encouraged to report
suspected fraud, waste, and abuse to the Office of the Inspector General at 877 -865-3432 or online.
OIG's mission is to protect Wisconsin taxpayers by tracking and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in the public
assistance programs administered by DHS.

The idea for honoring fallen heroes on a specific day began after the Civil War. Memo-
rial Day was originally called Decoration Day when people decorated the graves of soldiers
with flowers. In the spring of 1866, Henry Welles, a druggist in Waterloo, NY, spoke with
General John B. Murray, Seneca County Clerk, about organizing a day to honor soldiers
killed in the Civil War. On May 5, 1866, people joined in a procession to three cemeteries in
Waterloo. These ceremonies also took place on May 5, 1867. On May 5, 1868, General John
A. Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Un-
ion veterans, sent an order to all the local posts of the Grand Army to decorate the graves of
soldiers on May 30. This also took place at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Over
the years, Memorial Day was celebrated on May 30 and became a time to include all fallen
members of U.S. armed forces. In 1971, the date of Memorial Day changed to the last Mon-

day in May when the Congress passed the National Holiday Act of 1971 (ensuring three-day
weekends for federal holidays), and it was signed by President Richard Nixon.
     While today, many people celebrate Memorial Day as a day to honor all those who have
     died, it is good to specifically honor those in the military who have died. We are forever
       grateful for their sacrifice and should honor them accordingly. -Creative Forecasting

                     Mobility Management has been actively working with the Rock County Transporta-
                     tion Coordinating Committee (TCC) and UW River Falls Survey Research Center, to
                     provide a Medical Transportation survey to Rock County Residents.
            Jennifer
           McIlhone
                     The goal of the survey was to get a clear representation of the availability of medical
            Mobility transportation in Rock County. The survey closed in April, and the draft report of the
            Manager survey findings will be provided to Mobility Management and the TCC about the end
                     of June.
           The attempted response rate is approximately 20%, which is strong in survey terms. Thus far
           the response rate from Rock County Residents has indicated accurate estimates to create a
           clear representation of medical transportation in Rock County. Thank you to everyone who
           completed the survey!
