Former Governor Martin J. Schreiber will continue the most important campaign of his life when he visits St. Patrick Church (1235 W. Main Street, Whitewater) on Thursday, October 24th at 1:30 p.m. to talk about the challenges of being an Alzheimer’s caregiver. This free discussion is presented by Glenwood at Mulberry Campus, a dementia care neighborhood in Whitewater.
Schreiber will share lessons learned from his seven time award-winning book My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer’s Caregiver so others don’t have to experience the learning curve he did. His presentation will include time for questions and suggestions from other caregivers.
My Two Elaines is a guide for families and caregivers affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. It’s also a love story that spans more than 60 years. Schreiber’s wife Elaine was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease over a decade ago. Since then, Schreiber has worked tirelessly as a caregiver and loving spouse to someone who no longer recognizes him. He refers to the woman with whom he fell in love in high school, married, raised a family, and ran political campaigns with as his first Elaine. Today’s sweet, sensitive woman who remembers nothing about their past is his second Elaine. He speaks on the need for caregivers to build support systems and self-care, which are things he failed to do early on.
“If Alzheimer’s is bad, ignorance of the disease is worse,” said Schreiber.
Registration is recommended; call 262-473-4515 . My Two Elaines, the book authored by Governor Schreiber, and CDs will be available for $15 (cash or check only). Net proceeds are used to support Alzheimer’s caregiver programs.

A Message from Whippet Head Cross Country Coach Chad Carstens:
“Whitewater is excited to be hosting a double (D2 and a D3) cross country sectional this coming Saturday at UW-Whitewater. I wanted to pass along the meet information so you can see what this very unique event will entail. This has never been done before in our area and we are excited to host a first-class event for everyone involved. The meet info is essentially the same for each sectional; however, the box assignments are the main difference so you can see what teams will be coming.”
Author Bill Stokes will be discussing his book “Margaret’s War.” Whitewater is near where a German POW camp was located toward the end of WW II, a circumstance that forms the background for Stokes’s novel, and as part of the book’s promotion, the author will be doing readings and programs in as many of the 38 POW camp communities as possible. This program is free and open to everyone.

The Kiwanis Whitewater Breakfast Club is made up of dedicated volunteers who help both the Whitewater community and the world, all with 100 percent of funds going directly to projects and zero to administrative costs. Last year, the club distributed more than $20,000, with over half going to the Whitewater Unified School District, including the Ferradermis robotics team at WHS, summer school transportation, shoes for students, Badger Boys State, Badger Girls State, and scholarships. Kiwanis helped to build the Flowing Well Shelter, the shelters at Starin Park and Treyton’s Field of Dreams, the WHS football field lights and press box, as well as adopting a highway to clean up. In addition, the group donates to the Whitewater Youth Soccer Club, the Friends of the Whitewater Aquatic Center Family Partnership Fund, the Whitewater Food Pantry, Bethel House and more. More information can be found on the Whitewater Kiwanis Breakfast Club Facebook page.
