“Is this recycling week?” That’s a question that most area residents have from time to time, since John’s Disposal only picks up recycling for the city and most of the towns on alternate weeks. For readers’ convenience, the Banner has now posted the 2023 John’s schedules in the “helpful links” section of our site. In addition to answering the recycling question, the schedule also addresses whether collection will be delayed due to a holiday.
The schedule may be printed for future reference, or it may be referred to on the website whenever the recycling question arises. Here is a link to the city schedule.
It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. As we have done in recent years, we are featuring some Henry Scholl glass plate images from the turn of the twentieth century with winter themes for the coldest month of the year–January. Henry Scholl took many photos in winter and they give us a look at Whitewater in c.1900 at this time of the year.
This image is of the north side of the 700 block of Center Street with the Methodist Church in the background. No street plowing in c.1900!
Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.

Editor’s note: The following press release was received from the ADRC of Walworth County.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in four older adults has a fall each year, and Wisconsin leads the nation in fall-related deaths for people aged 60 and older. But the good news is that falls are not a normal part of aging and can be prevented. The Stepping On program offered by the Walworth County Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) has been researched and proven to reduce falls by 31 percent.
In just seven weekly, two-hour sessions, Stepping On gives participants strategies for avoiding falls, including balance and strength exercises, home safety check suggestions, medication review, and more. Local experts, including a physical therapist and pharmacist, visit over the course of the seven sessions to provide fall-prevention information and strategies. The workshop is designed specifically for people aged 60 or older who have fallen and/or have a fear of falling. Participants can expect to leave with improved strength, better balance, and a feeling of confidence and independence.
Stepping On will be held in Classroom ABCD on Thursdays, January 19 to March 2, 2023, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., at the Aurora Lakeland Medical Center, W3985 County Road NN, in Elkhorn. The workshop has a suggested donation of $10.
For questions or to register for the program, contact Chetney Blaszczyk RDN, CD at (262) 741-3309.
About the ADRC of Walworth County: The ADRC provides information and assistance to older and disabled adults, their friends, family, caregivers, and the public. We can assist by evaluating your current needs and providing options available to meet the needs of your situation.

A new episode of “Wisconsin Life” which will air on Thursday, January 5 at 7 p.m. features, among other stories, the Milton House Museum, the last certified underground railroad stop in Wisconsin that can be toured. Blacks traveled the Underground Railroad to escape slavery in the South in the 1800’s. PBS Wisconsin is on Channel 11 on Spectrum (Charter) and may also be viewed online at https://pbswisconsin.org/
According to an article in the Milton Courier:
“Wisconsin Life” is a show produced by PBS Wisconsin and Wisconsin Public Radio that highlights local history, but each episode details a new city or region of the state. During the production of the episode, host Angela Fitzgerald spoke with Milton House Museum Executive Director Keighton Klos about the Underground Railroad and some about the Goodrich family.”
“Fitzgerald suggested the Milton House as a potential location of the show. Fitzgerald and producer Kelly Saran spent a day at the museum last summer to work on the show.”
“What surprised me was the role Wisconsin had in the abolitionist movement and how many freedom seekers came to Wisconsin,” Saran said. “People crawled through the tunnel, and we walked through it. That was moving and was so impactful.”
