UW-WC hosted youth volleyball camp Thursday/B8 Hartford therapist charged with felony fraud By ALEX BELD abeld@conleynet.com 262-306-5046 Hartford therapist Sharon Medina was charged with 10 felony counts of medical assistance fraud Tuesday in Dane County. The Hartford woman has an office in Milwaukee and is alleged to have committed fraud through her business, Medina's Way, accord- ing to the criminal complaint filed in the case. The complaint was approved for filing by Assistant Attorney General Peter Tempelis, who is the prosecuting attorney for the case. The Wisconsin Department of Justice Medicaid Fraud and Control Unit worked with the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General in what is being called the "National Healthcare Fraud Takedown." The Wisconsin Department of Health Services and Hartford Police Department were also involved in the case. "Public assistance fraud not only steals hard-earned taxpayer dol- lars, but also takes financial resources intended for our neediest citizens and gives it to criminals," Attorney General Brad Schimel said in a news release about the case. "We must prosecute criminals who intentionally defraud the system and undermine taxpayer confidence in medical assistance programs." The release also stated "Medina, who has a history of financial trou- ble, including multiple bankrupt- cies, is alleged to have fabricated dates of service and submitted claims for services not rendered, from 2013 to 2015, when she was a Medicaid service provider." Submitted photo Edith Schultz, 94, of West Bend, is seen above the clouds during her first time skydiving June 24. By ALEX BELD abeld@conleynet.com 262-306-5046 For her birthday, 94-year-old Edith Schultz got her wish to jump from a plane at 14,000 feet and free-fall for 5,000 before her chute was pulled. The first day she was sup- posed to jump was her mother's birthday, May 28, but it was can- celled due to rain, and the next day it was too windy. About a month later, she got to jump on her father's birthday, June 24. "And that was a beautiful day," Schultz said. She added that before jumping, her thoughts were, "I'm looking and I'm think- ing, 'Should I or shouldn't I?' But it was too late already." Schultz was inspired to take on the new experience after she saw President George H.W. Bush skydive at the age of 90. There was no practice before the jump, she explained. "You just go and get tied up with a nice guy who knows what to do." Being brave or doing the unexpected for a person of her age isn't something new for Schultz. She's won medals in the Senior Olympics in her old age, but got her start at taking on challenges when she navigated Europe both during World War II and after as a young woman, at times separated from her family. "I'm pretty gutsy," she said about one experience where she joined a train of Russians in an effort to get to Berlin. By the time she got to the U.S., after having to prove she wasn't a Nazi, she found herself in a home on a 40-acre plot with no water, electricity or plumbing. By RALPH CHAPOCO rchapoco@conleynet.com 262-306-5095 Representatives from West Bend and Washington County descended on Washington County grounds to celebrate the completion of a construction project. Supervisors, staff and municipal leaders hosted a ribbon-cutting Thursday at the court- house to commemorate the opening of the health clinic to be shared among personnel and dependents at the two agencies. "We are excited," Administrator Joshua Schoemann said. "It is a beautiful facility, a nice entrance, a great partnership with the local community and the city of West Bend." The opening marked the culmination of months of preparation that included approvals from county supervisors and city aldermen to not only build the facility, but to also enter into an agreement the construction and operational costs. The venture began during the first quarter of 2016 when county staff, including Human Resources Director Todd Scott and former employees of the West Bend announced they were collaborating on a project to provide an onsite health clinic for their staff and family members who are enrolled in the health insur- ance plan. Officials wanted to address increasing health care costs and they hoped an onsite clinic would help address part of the issue. "Over the course of three years, the projec- tion is about $1 million (saved)," Scott said. "It is really going to be based on participation. How many people use the clinic and what type of services. That is where the savings is going to come from." One part is wellness. "Weight monitoring, early detection through health risk assessments," City Administrator Jay Shambeau cited as examples.
