Board approves direct legislation for projects costing more than $2 million
New ordinance makes petition useless
By Robert Ireland
[email protected]
GENOA CITY Hours after a resident
petition was delivered to the village clerk
that demanded direct legislation for capital
projects that cost more than $500,000, the
village board took action to make the peti-
tion useless.
Direct legislation allows voters to
decide by referendum on whether the vil-
lage can spend money on building projects,
such as a village hall.
Village Attorney Linda Gray said a peti-
tion requiring direct legislation for capital
improvement projects isnt legal if it con-
icts with an existing ordinance.
The petition didnt conict with an
existing ordinance until, on July 12, the
board approved direct legislation for proj-
ects that cost more than $2 million. The
petition was turned into the village earlier
that afternoon.
During the meeting, Village President
Bill Antti said the petition began circulat-
ing because of concerns about exorbitant
spending by the village board.
Trustee Alan Cornue said he opposed
direct legislation for two reasons.
We are generally running under a rep-
resentative democracy where people are
elected to the ofce to make judgments
to the best of their abilities, Cornue said.
The problem with using a referendum for
any issue of concern is it is very difcult for
everyone who will vote to get all the infor-
mation.
The board didnt allow any public com-
ments during the discussion of the ordi-
nance.
Despite being told there would be no
public comments during the meeting,
former Village President Chuck Schuren,
who helped collect signatures for the direct
legislation petition, asked if there was any
public discussion on creating the direct
legislation for $2 million.
Antti responded by telling Schuren he
was out of order, to which Schuren replied,
I know.
Antti said the citizen petition required
the board to get referendum approval
before any money was spent. He said this
wouldnt allow the board to hire architects
or engineers to develop the plans to pres-
ent to citizens.
The ordinance that was approved
doesnt include legal mandates. For exam-
ple, if the DNR tells the village it needs to
build a new well, the board doesnt need
voter approval to do so.
A direct legislation petition needs 15
percent of the number of people who voted
in the last gubernatorial election to sign it.
Once the signatures are certied, the
board can approve it, deny it or take no
action.

What is now a concrete slab near
the lagoon at Flat Iron Park would be
transformed into an open pavilion
suitable for musical performances and
special events under a plan presented
by former alderman Todd Krause.
Krause, representing the Lake
Geneva Beautication Committee, a
private nonprot group that works
with the city on improving public
spaces, made a presentation on the
proposed pavilion during the July 10
meeting of the Lake Geneva Board of
Park Commissioners.
Krause said that the committee is
proposing that the performance pavil-
ion be built on the site of the slab on
the north end of the park, near the
lagoon. Although the proposal is new,
and there are no drawings, Krause
said preliminary suggestions are that
the structure be eight-sided, that it be
46-feet wide and 35-feet deep and that
it top out at 18 feet.
The new pavilions foundation
would elevate the stage 18 inches over
ground level.
The architecture would be compat-
ible with the Riviera and the nearby
Flat Iron Park gazebo.
Were trying to jazz it up and make
it something special, Krause said.
Krause estimated that the pavilion
would be large enough to accommo-
date a 50-piece orchestra.
Cost of the project is estimated at
$300,000.
Krause said the beautication
committee will do fundraising to help
pay for the structure.

IN HIS OFFICE for just awhile longer, Lake Geneva Police
Ofcer Ralph Braden takes a brief break while doing security
at the recent Mission of Mercy free dental clinic at Badger High
School during the June 27 setup in the school gym.
By Chris Schultz
[email protected]
Almost as much teacher as he was cop, Ofcer Ralph
Braden was the face of the school liaison program in Lake
Geneva for 19 years.
Braden ofcially retired as a Lake Geneva police ofcer
on July 2, after 39 years and one day wearing a badge.
His last few days at the school were to work security
for the Mission of Mercy free dental clinic that was in the
Badger gym June 28 and 29.
He was getting ready to post the No Smoking signs
the day before the free clinic, when he took some time to
talk with a Regional News reporter in his ofce at the high
school.
Often wearing a broad grin under his trademark mus-
tache, Braden took a police presence into Badger High
School and he made it work.
At the police station, he said, he was referred to as
teacher Braden.
Im going to miss Ralph, said Lake Geneva Police
Chief Michael Rasmussen. No one is ever going to truly
replace him.
Rasmussen said that Braden dened the police-school
liaison position.
Bradens devotion to the program and the work he put
into reaching out to students and teachers was amazing,
Rasmussen said. Braden said hes had no trouble connect-
ing with the students.

LAKE GENEVA NEWS

Lake Geneva and some residents are keeping a close
eye on the newcomer to Geneva Lake.
Flyboard Milwaukee LLC wants to set up a business
here, but its gotten off on the wrong foot.
First, it set up operations on the Bella Vista Suites -
Meridien Hotel pier, a location off-limits for commercial
businesses by city resolution.
According to a 1986 agreement between the city and the
Meridien Hotel, the pier can only be used by hotel guests
for recreational purposes.
And the Flyboarding operation also failed to get a city
business permit.
Lake Geneva Police Chief Michael Rasmussen said
hes been working with the owners of Flyboard Milwaukee
about the lack of a business permit.
In order to get the permit, however, the operation will
have to get a permanent address in the city, Rasmussen
said.
And that will not be at the hotel pier.
City Administrator Dennis Jordan has since sent a
letter to the company dated July 9 informing it that the
pier on which they had located was off-limits to commer-
cial businesses.
The letter stipulates that the business cannot dock its
boat at the pier to load people who are renting time for Fly-
boarding or who are purchasing Flyboards, nor can they
fuel the boat at the pier for commercial purposes.
In an interview, Jordan said he told the operators they
may moor their boat at one of the Bella Vistas piers, but it
may not have any advertising signs on it. Customers, equip-
ment and fuel will have to be loaded onto the boat outside
the city limits.
In his letter, Jordan advises the operators that the city
limits extend from South and Forest streets to where they
meet in the water.
Flyboard Milwaukee was also giving demonstrations
at Big Foot Beach. Rasmussen said the city attorney was
reviewing the location to make sure the demonstrations
were outside the city limits.
Flyboards use a converted jet ski to pump water into a
hose that feeds into a board that straps to the riders feet
and two hand-held jets. The force of the water can lift a
person up to 40 feet into the air, depending on the length
of the hose carrying the water from the jet ski to the Fly-
board.
The boards give the rider the ability to y, not so much
like Superman, but more like Ironman. The rider literally
stands on a jet of water generated by a Jet Ski and trans-
mitted to the yboard through a hose with at least a 4-inch
diameter and about 40 feet long.
The Flyboard becomes the Jet Skis jet and will pull it
along. Usually a second person sits on the jet ski to steer
it.
The Meridien pier, where Flyboard Milwaukee rst set
up business, is on Baker Park.
Baker Park is a small piece of land just south of the city
pier and was dedicated to the city in 1898 by a group who
owned the property at the time.
Location so near the city boat launch was also a factor
in stopping the Flyboard operation at the Meridien pier,
Jordan said.
Dont do it next to the busiest place on the lake, he
said.
Court cases and city resolutions govern the use of the
Meridien Hotel pier.
The owners of the Meridien property may use the pier
and buoys (a total of four slips) for the pleasure of their
guests.
However, absent express approval by the city council,
the Meridien pier cannot be used for the operation of per-
sonal watercraft, parasailing or rental of other watercraft.
Flyboard Milwaukee was renting time on the Flyboards
and offering them for sale. According to Flyboard websites,
the device retails for about $6,200, not counting the price
of the Jet Ski.
Not everyone is happy with the Flyboards.
Bill Tauber, who owns a unit at Bella Vista Suites, has
been sending letters complaining about the Flyboard oper-
ation to the city council and has contacted the Lake Geneva
Regional News.
In an issue unrelated to Flyboarding, Tauber and others
have also led a lawsuit against the Bella Vista board of
directors and others for nancial mismanagement and
misallocation of funds. The state DNR is currently deciding
on how to classify the Flyboards, since they are not water-
going vessels in the usual sense of the word.
DNR spokesman Marcus L. Smith did not get back to
the Regional News before deadline this week.

District waits until fall for nal state aid information
Property taxes may drop
for Badger High School
By John Halverson
[email protected]
Taxpayers in the Lake Geneva-Genoa City School
district may pay less for Badger High School when they
get their property tax bill next year.
Warren Flitcroft, director of business services for
the district, presented a budget of $18.32 million for the
2013-2014 school year to the board at its annual meet-
ing last week.
As it stands now, thats an 8.78 percent increase over
2012-2013 projections.
However, Flitcroft said in an email after the meeting,
that amount represents more of a worst case scenario
for the school board on what the tax levy would be.
The hoped-for reduction, Flitcroft said, is based on
the likelihood that state aids will increase.
If the district does in fact receive an additional
$1.5 million in state aid rather than losing $500,000
and equalized valuations go up rather than remaining
unchanged, then the average property tax bill for schools
should actually go down for next year and this would be
very good for the community, he said.
The budget he presented was based on a $100 per
pupil revenue limit increase, a 15 percent drop in state
aid and no increase in the local equalized valuation,
Flitcroft said.
However, official numbers arent calculated until
late October.
Thats when the district gets most of the official
numbers, such as the equalized valuation of the district,
the more accurate pupil counts and official state aid
amounts.
Flitcroft said its been a particularly difficult year
to forecast because of the late budget approval in Madi-
son and all of the changes that they have recently final-
ized.
As usual, the districts payroll represents the larg-
est chunk of the budget presented to the board showing
a slight increase from an estimated $10.58 million for
2012-2013 to $10.88 million.
Fringe benefits showed the largest percentage
increase primarily because of health insurance costs
going up 16 percent.
If the district does in fact receive an addi-
tional $1.5 million in state aid rather than losing
$500,000 and equalized valuations go up rather
than remaining unchanged, then the average
property tax bill for schools should actually go
down for next year and this would be very good
for the community, Warren Flitcroft, director
of business services said.

THE NBC NIGHTLY NEWS crew boarded the Walworth II along with Lake Geneva tourists to
see the famed mailboat jumpers deliver mail. The Geneva Cruise Line delivers mail to houses
on the lake, with jumpers depositing mail and returning to the still-cruising boat. The show
was scheduled to air July 16.
NBC news lms
mailboat jumpers
LAKE GENEVA Last week, a lm
crew from the NBC Nightly News program
toured the lake with the mailboat jump-
ers.
Harold Friestad, vice president and
general manager of the Lake Geneva Cruise
Line, said the segment on the news pro-
gram will help spur more interest for the
cruise line and the Geneva Lake area.
Its just part of the publicity we try to
get for the mailboat, he said. The mail-
boat is so unique. When people hear about
it, they realize its something they want to
see.
Every summer, the Walworth, a member
of the cruise line, delivers mail to residents
living on the lake. Mailboat jumpers jump
from the boat to the dock, deposit the mail
and jump back to the boat.
It doesnt sound too risky, except the
boat doesnt stop moving.
Many of the jumpers are college stu-
dents home for the summer.
The Lake Geneva Cruise Line posted on
its Facebook page that the tour was sched-
uled to air Tuesday, July 16.
Another cruise line boat will be fea-
tured on Discover Wisconsin next year. See
a story in a future edition of the Regional
News.

GENOA CITY - BLOOMFIELD
The petition needed 110 signatures and organizers said
they collected 234.
If the board denies the petition or it or takes no action,
the direct legislation proposal goes to referendum.
After the petition is submitted, the village board has 15
days to certify the signatures, which means the village clerk
must ensure that the signatures are from eligible voters.
The board moved to make the motion before the signa-
tures were certied, which may make the petition invalid.
What pushed citizens to action?
The catalyst for the direct legislation petition was talks
of building a new village hall. However, the village board
hasnt taken any action, or made any decision toward build-
ing a new village hall.
The board created a subcommittee
to examine the current village hall and
make a recommendation on whether to
make repairs to it, build a new one or
renovate an existing building.
Schuren and Dawn Lentz said build-
ing a new village hall isnt needed and
taxpayers in Genoa City are already
stretched too far.
This new village hall should have
been addressed when we were growing.
We are stagnant now, Schuren said.
This (village board) doesnt want to
save money at all.
Lentz, a resident who spoke against a new village hall
during the meeting, said residents are tired of paying high
water bills and taxes.
There is no reason to justify it, she said.
Schuren said Genoa City isnt competitive with other
communities in terms of taxes and water rates. This means,
he said, that homeowners and businesses dont look to the
village to buy homes or open shop.
Schuren said the problem with the current village
hall is that the board hasnt maintained it and it has been
neglected.
Anttis view
Antti disagrees with Schuren that the board has
neglected the village hall and has failed to maintain it.
He said the village board has made improvements to
the buildings washrooms. The building was also recently
painted and the carpet is new, he said.
After the meeting, Antti said he objects to the petition
for the same reasons Cornue gave.
We are a representative government elected by the
people to make decisions for them, Antti said. I dont
think we do anything by handcufng us from making those
decisions.
Antti emphasized that the board hasnt made a decision
about the village hall and there arent any rm plans.
We are trying to gather information and be open and
honest, he said.
Antti added that the board isnt out to upset people in
the village.
We dont want to tick off the people in the village,
Antti said. We are representing them. Some have jumped
to the conclusion that we are going to spend money regard-
less. We want to be responsible with what we do.
Board approves project for South Road
Gas station, restaurant coming to GC
By Robert Ireland
[email protected]
GENOA CITY It has been a long
time since new development has come to
Genoa City, but last week the village board
approved a new project at the intersection
of South Road and Highway 12.
The property has been owned by David
Laurine for about 30 years. Laurine plans
on building the Genoa City Travel Center,
which will be a gas station, restaurant and
a drive-thru. Laurines property is located
on 229-231 South Road, and is directly
across the street from the park-and-ride.
Laurine will construct his building in a
way that will allow for more development
at that location.
Laurine said he started planning the
development with former Village President
John Wrzeszcz. He said Wrzeszcz con-
tacted him about developing the site, which
Wrzeszcz hoped would spur new economic
growth.
One of the roadblocks to bringing other
developments to the area is a lack of a traf-
c signal at the intersection of Highway 12
and South Road.
Walgreens had expressed an interest-
ing in building at that location, but needed
a trafc signal to proceed.
The Wisconsin Department of Trans-
portation informed the village there isnt
enough trafc at the intersection to war-
rant a trafc signal. Laurine said that by
building the travel center the trafc will
increase, and this may prompt the DOT to
install a trafc signal.
Laurine said the travel center will be
open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 11
p.m. He said to staff the 12,000-square foot
building he will need to hire more than 70
people.
We are not leasing it. It is a family
project, and we are going to be around for
awhile, Laurine said.
During Thursday nights village board
meeting, the board discussed numerous
changes to the developers agreement.
The board eventually approved an
amended agreement with Laurine. How-
ever, the agreement wont take affect until
Laurine creates a limited liability company
for his business.
Architect talks about
Village Hall project
By Robert Ireland
[email protected]
GENOA CITY The architect in charge of devel-
oping a plan for the village hall emphasized that no
decisions have been made, and promised residents he
would treat their money as if it was his.
Jon P. Wallenkamp of Kueny Architects LLC, spoke
at Thursday nights village board meeting after several
residents expressed concerns about taxes and the pos-
sibility of a new village hall.
We are telling you exactly where we are today,
Wallenkamp said as he spoke directly to the audience.
We have toured the entire facility and we are 90 per-
cent done collecting data.
He said every facility as old as the current village
hall has its issues.
There are conditions that have to be cleaned up
here, Wallenkamp said.
Wallenkamp said the board has reviewed the pros
and cons of repairing the building and building proj-
ects.
I look at every solution like it is my home, like it is
my money, Wallenkamp said.
The architect has also reviewed four locations for
the village hall, the current location, two locations on
Elizabeth Lane and one off of Walworth Street.
Wallenkamp said the architects have ruled out the
two locations on Elizabeth Lane.
He said that he hopes to have some recommenda-
tion to the board by the end of the month.
It would be a piece of paper, it doesnt mean theres
a wrecking ball coming, he added.

Pastor discusses Trinitys beginnings, future, why he wont leave
Metke: 30 years, still growing
By Steve Targo
[email protected]
BLOOMFIELD Bloom where youre planted, said Pastor Brian
Metke.
Thirty years ago, fresh out of seminary, Metke was planted at Trinity
Church, his rst and only congregation.
On July 10, shortly before lugging dufe bags bloated with supplies
for a mission trip to Kenya into the open trunks of vehicles belonging to
volunteers not long before their ight, he said he has no
plans on leaving.
With testimonials like the one provided by fellow
pastor Joyce Rossen, why would he?
He has so many gifts, so many talents, its really
almost impossible to think of all of them in one person,
Rossen said.
Its also uncommon for a Lutheran pastor any
pastor, these days to remain with one church for 30
years.
I was expecting to be here three years or so,
because thats what pastors did, but we stayed here,
Metke said.
He could boast that what he accomplished with
Trinity is the kind of thing politicians and even other church leaders often
dream of, but never see fully materialize.
When he arrived at Trinity, in 1982, the church was on the verge of
collapse, he said. Nobody could nd it, rst of all, and it was surrounded
by a junkyard.
It was also in a community people often write off.
This is the kind of place where one person said to me theyve never
seen anything good come out of Pell Lake, he said. Its with that kind
of attitude, where people grow up (in) a blue collar community. We real-
ized Jesus is a blue-collar individual, and weve seen a revitalization here.
People are proud of the community because they saw a church that was
about to die rejuvenated.
Not just rejuvenated, but growing.
Trinitys congregation grew from 65 members in 1982 to currently 450,
Metke said, drawing followers who live as far as 25 miles away. We are
unique, Metke said. We have a unique style.
Gone are the junkyard surroundings of the former church on Clover
Road.
For several years now, the church has deepened its roofs in 12 acres
at W775 Geranium Drive, housed in a structure thats visible to motorists
traveling north and south on Highway 12. This congregation didnt have a
future on Clover Road, Metke said. It was a unanimous decision to leave,
which that in itself tells you something.
The location changed, but the man at the front of the church has
remained the same. When asked why he has stayed and why he said
without hesitation that he wont leave could be to set an example.
Ive taken a vow of stability, Metke said. People move around so
much in our world and to take a vow of stability, like monks do, this is a
spiritual effort. To have a person stay in one place is a great thing.
Metke is celebrating his 30th anniversary at the church he saved in a
way thats just as unique as the church itself.
He said the congregation is providing him with the opportunity to
pursue a doctorate in discipleship.
Metke will use Trinity as his thesis on healthy discipleships and reju-
venating congregations.
Thats really my gift for my 30th (anniversary), and what a legacy for
the congregation, to take a green pastor and put up with all this stuff, all
these changes I did. Thats the real celebration.
Or, he joked, maybe the congregation is sending him back to school
because he needs extra help.
Being unique
A sense of humor is one cornerstone of Metkes vibrant personality.
But maybe he doesnt t the usual stereotypes associated with the term
pastor. Metke has lots of stories, much to say as any pastor would
but his stories dont stretch on innitely, nor is he a repetitive speaker.
He still looks young and full of energy, lifting duffel bags half his size and
joking with missionaries at the same time. A 1974 graduate of Union Grove
High School, Metke discovered his calling at Marquette University, after
learning to play guitar with a campus ministry. A priest said to me, You
should be a priest, and I said, Hey, Im Lutheran and I want to get mar-
ried, Metke said. Then he said, You should be a pastor.
Why? He said he is a learner who has genuine faith.
I have a gift set, Metke said. Im a good speaker, Im a good teacher,
I have a passion to achieve. My gift set, as a leader, was there, but I was
open to developing my spiritual character. Im still growing. Ill never
be nished.
Neither is Metkes work in rejuvenating congregations. Recently,
Metke, Rossen and Pastor Tom De Groot began working to revitalize St.
Johns Lutheran Church in Elkhorn. Metke said they continue to look at
struggling congregations. I believe thats our calling, he said.
What is the secret to restoring a congregation?
Metke said he believes God is using them. One key to success in this
arena is for one to allow him or herself to be an instrument of God, he
said.
Another key: Loving people. Its not a job, Metke said. We really care
about people.
But a main focus at Trinity, the purpose of its activities, he said, is to
make disciples. Most churches dont make disciples, Metke said.
This, he said, is also how he wants to celebrate his 30th anniversary
with Trinity. When we see churches thriving because of our efforts and
people developing a positive, life-changing connection with Jesus Christ,
I want to celebrate with the congregation by saying, yes, with the help of
God, many good things continue to come out of Pell Lake.
Which perhaps also means Metke has bloomed nicely.
Metke on ...
Family: Pastor Brian Metke said family has always been
strong for me. He met his wife, Cindy, at a church camp.
They are both spiritual directors and raised three children
Elissa, Lainie and Peter in Pell Lake.
Community: Metke called Trinity a spiritual hospital for
Pell Lake. He said the church has implemented several
programs to help Pell Lake become a stronger community,
such as ReachOut, in which church volunteers repair homes
for people who cant do the work themselves; and provide a
community garden, so people who need extra food can grow
their own even if they dont have the resources. There are
also some plans to build a community playground on Trini-
tys 12 acres near Highway 12 and a youth basketball court.
Helping other congregations: We realized that we had
learned how to renew dying churches and we felt called to
reach out and help rejuvenate congregations who yearned to
grow and become healthy again, Metke said. We invited
a Hispanic Assembly of God congregation to use Trinitys
building and then developed a partnership with St. Johns
Lutheran Church in Elkhorn.

ELKHORN Taxpayers will save
nearly a million dollars when the county
changes how it provides its employees
health insurance.
However, the 790 county employees
enrolled in the insurance and their fami-
lies will now face higher deductibles, larger
out-of-pocket maximums and are respon-
sible for more expenses.
During the boards July meeting it
approved its 2014 plan for employee health
insurance on a 8-3 vote with supervisors
Jerry Grant, Rick Stacey and Carl Rede-
nius opposing the change.
Those supervisors supported switching
to the state health insurance plan, which
Grant said would have saved the county
$3 million in 2014. However, the state plan
didnt include Aurora directly in its cover-
age.
Aurora is responsible for 52 percent
of the countys health insurance claims,
said Dale Wilson, the county payroll and
benet manager. Wilson said that Mercy
accounted for about 20 to 25 percent of the
employees claims
Since fall 2012 the county has been
examining how it provides its employees
health insurance and searching for ways to
reduce costs.
Wilson said the county asked for bids
from health insurance providers. How-
ever, it only received one bid, which Wilson
described as not competitive.
The county also compared its health
insurance policy to the coverage provided
in similar counties. Wilson said Walworth
County was providing better insurance
than those counties.
This will put us more in the middle,
to maybe even below middle, Wilson said.
There are denitely counties that have
better insurance, and by better I mean
lower deductibles, lower out of pockets.
The county offers two tiers for its
health insurance. The rst tier cost more,
but has a lower deductible. The second-tier
is considered a high deductible insurance
plan. That insurance plan includes a $750
county contribution to individuals and a
$1,500 contribution to families for their
health savings accounts.
Walworth County Supervisors can pur-
chase their own health insurance directly
from the board under the countys health
insurance plan.
The county doesnt contribute anything
to the supervisors insurance if they choose
to purchase it. County employees pay
between 7 and 12 percent of their insur-
ance costs.
Wilson said there are 790 employees
covered by the countys health insurance,
which includes 528 employees who receive
family coverage.
There are an additional 103 retirees,
who receive health insurance benets.
There are nearly 900 full-time employees
in Walworth County, but some dont receive
health insurance.
State plan
The state health plan is available to local
municipalities. Grant said at the meeting
that if the county board would adopt that
plan, it would save about $3 million.
It is a different type of plan, it is an
HMO instead of a PPO, Wilson said.It
would be a big shift from what are employ-
ees are used to.
He said the state plan does offer some
PPOs, but those are more expensive, for
both the county and its employees. He also
said the employees could have received cov-
erage from Aurora, but it would have been
signicantly more expensive for them.
Wilson said the plan would have saved
the county money. However, he disagreed
with Grant on the amount.
The state could add a surcharge when
a new municipality joins the plan, Wilson
said. Wilson said it was likely that the county
would have been charged a surcharge.
We have, in our population, with 790
lives on the population, with some of those
being retirees there are some signicant
issues in a limited part of our population,
Wilson said. On average I would say we are
a healthy population, but we do have some
larger claimaints that would raise some
concerns.

COUNTY REPORT
Former Star Center PTO
treasurer guilty of theft
The former treasurer of the Star Center School PTO
pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $10,000 from the
group.
Katherine A. Tworek, 46, N1695 Mallow
Place,Bloomeld, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of theft
from a business setting.
She was sentenced to three years of probation. A condi-
tion of her probation is that she must serve 30 days in jail
with work-release privileges.
She also must obtain counseling as recommended by
her probation agent, provide a DNA sample, pay court cost
and restitution in the amount of $11,114.26.
According to the criminal complaint:
On Oct. 30, 2012, a Bloomeld police ofcer went to
Star Center School to take a theft complaint.
The ofcer met with principal Lidalyn Tennessen and
PTO president Kathleen Seeberg.
Tennessen said that while going through the schools
budget she noticed a missing payment from the PTO.
Tennessen contacted Tworek about the missing pay-
ment but wasnt given a satisfactory reason why the pay-
ment wasnt made.
Tworek had been the PTO treasurer since October
2011.
After learning of the missing payment, Seeberg
retrieved the PTOs bank statements. Seeberg identied
several debit transactions and withdrawals that were not
authorized including:
n A Nov. 23, 2011, ATM withdrawal for $350.
n A Nov. 25, 2011, check to the defen-
dant for $482.50.
n A Dec. 2, 2011, withdrawal for
$900.
n A May 31, 2012, withdrawal for
$825 for a money order to Kalex Realty
Group.
n A June 29, 2012, withdrawal for
$1,000, which included making a money
order out to a realty group.
Seeberg also stated that there were
transactions made to Walmart, Dunn
Lumber, Goodwill and Target during the
summer months when the PTO isnt spending much money.
During a meeting with Seeberg and Tennessen, Tworek
admitted to using the PTOs debit card to pay for an electric
bill because her wallet had been stolen.
Tworek said she also took some money to reimburse her-
self for cookbooks that she had purchased for the PTO.
The school purchases cookbooks from a company named
Morris.
Morris reports that neither the PTO nor Tworek pur-
chased cookbooks from them.
On Jan. 7, Tworek met with a Bloomeld police ofcer.
During that meeting, Tworek admitted to using the PTOs
debit card to pay her rent, her electric bill and her gas bill.
Tworek told police said she had received permission to do
this, but Seeberg told the ofcer Tworek was never given per-
mission to use the PTOs funds to pay personal bills.

By Chris Schultz
[email protected]
Those who really need to know this will
probably never read it in this newspaper.
But to the lines of folks who come to
the Lake Geneva Police Department to
complain about the parking kiosks, Police
Chief Mike Rasmussen has a simple mes-
sage: Please stop.
People make their meter complaints at
the police department, Rasmussen told the
Lake Geneva Police and Fire Commission
during its July 11 meeting. We dont have
authority over the parking meters.
For that, the city has a Parking Enforce-
ment Department.
However, the park-
ing enforcement depart-
ment, which has a
summer staff of nine
part-time supervisors
and enforcers, is not
open 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
The police depart-
ment is.
This July 4 weekend,
dozens of unhappy park-
ers lined up in front of
the police departments reception window
at the city hall with complaints about park-
ing tickets, or about the parking kiosks in
general.
While the department tries to make
an ofcer available to assist persons with
questions or complaints, it cant always do
that, Rasmussen said in an interview on
Monday.
The rush of disatised customers comes
in all during the weekends and after 5 p.m.
and distracts the dispatchers from their
primary duty of taking 911 calls and dis-
patching ofcers, Rasmussen said.
When youre trying to do your job and
people are screaming at you, it makes it dif-
cult, Rasmussen said. They just want to
yell at someone because theyre upset.
Rasmussen asked the commissioners
to request from city administration that a
parking enforcement person be made avail-
able to handle those complaints on summer
weekend evenings.
He said the situation was bad enough
this past July 4 that he called a meter
enforcement person in to help.
That raised some concerns from the city
comptrollers ofcer later, he added.
Rasmussen suggested that a parking
enforcement ofcer be on duty throughout
the evenings on every summer weekend
starting the week of July 4 through Labor
Day to help deal with the parking com-
plaints.
In the meantime, persons with com-
plaints can download complaint forms
from the city website, www.cityoakeg-
eneva.com.
The catch is, complaints cant be led
online. They must be submitted with the
paid parking tickets.

Chief Rasmussen asks for weekend parking staff at city hall
Heroin dealers sentencing delayed
The sentencing hearing for a con-
victed heroin dealer was postponed
Monday morning after his attorney,
Elliott Price, was unable to attend the
hearing.
Malik D. Iseini, 35, N1985 Hafs
Road, Bloomeld, has pleaded guilty
to three felony charges of delivering
heroin and possession of a narcotic
drug.
Iseini also pleaded guilty to a
misdemeanor charge of resisting or
obstructing an ofcer and possession
of drug paraphernalia.
Iseinis hearing was rescheduled
for July 24 at 10:30 a.m. in front of
Judge David Reddy. Iseini faces more
than 70 years imprisonment.
Iseinis local attorney, Stephen
Kramer, said Price was unable to
attend the hearing because of medi-
cal reasons.
Kramer said the sentencing could
move forward if the state would
accept the presentence investigation
(PSI) recommendation. A PSI is done
by the Department of Corrections
and makes a sentencing recommen-
dation. After the
hearing, Assistant
District Attorney
Zeke Wiedenfeld
said he would ask
for a longer term of
connement than
the one recom-
mended by the PSI.
Wiedenfeld said he
couldnt disclose
the PSIs sentenc-
ing recommenda-
tion because it is contained in a docu-
ment that is sealed to the public.
According to the criminal com-
plaint on the drug and weapon case:
Deputies with the Walworth
County Sheriffs Department Drug
Unit worked with a condential infor-
mant to purchase heroin from Iseini.
On March 19, two Walworth
County Sheriffs Department detec-
tives went to Iseinis trailer to speak
with him. At the end of the conversa-
tion, one of the detectives told Iseini
he was under arrest for delivering
heroin.
Iseini resisted and the detectives
struggled. During the struggle a detec-
tive attempted to handcuff Iseini, and
he was pushed into the screen door
of the trailer. After subduing Iseini,
both detectives searched Iseinis
trailer and, inside of an exhaust fan,
they found 23 foil bindles containing
heroin.
An ofcer also found a white PVC
pipe, which appeared to have a fuse.
The squad identied the pipe as an
explosive device and disposed of it.
A .22 caliber rie was also found
in the trailer. In 2010, Iseini pleaded
guilty to a felony marijuana charge, so
he cannot legally possess a rearm.
According to the criminal com-
plaint for possession of a narcotic
drug:
On April 6, a correctional ofcer
found a piece of paper containing a
white powdery substance oating in
the toilet.
When questioned about the sub-
stance, Iseini admitted that it was a
Percocet. Iseini refused to say how he
got the pill.

The citys Tax Increment Finance dis-
trict budget also contains about $140,000
for improvements to Flat Iron Park, said City
Administrator Dennis Jordan.
The existing concrete slab would have to be
removed, he said.
This could be a revenue source for the city,
Krause told the commissioners.
The pavilion stage would not be tiered, but
have a flat floor, so it could be rented out for
weddings and parties when not used for musi-
cal performances, said Krause, a musician and
self-described recovering alderman.
Originally conceived as a bandshell, Krause
said that creating a classic curved wall band-
shell would limit the use of the structure to
most musical performances.
Most serious bands and entertainers now
have their own acoustic shells which they mount
behind the stage, and most also have their own
sound and light systems, as well.
However, Krause suggested that the perfor-
mance pavilion would also have a modest sound
system of its own and some conventional lights
and spotlights, as well.
Krause said hes been in contact with the Jaycees,
who operate Venetian Fest in Flat Iron Park in August.
He said many of the proposed design features of the
performance pavilion are intended to meet the Jaycees
Venetian Fest needs, as well as provide a year-
around venue for the city.
Krause said the new structure will fit into
the required 100-foot setback from navigable
water.
Krause said the building would be con-
structed with the goal of long-term life and little
maintenance.
The floor will be decorative concrete and the
pillars will be made of plastic composite.
The park commissioners passed along the
proposal with their recommendation that it be
approved.
Commission president Doug Skates said a
bandshell, or bandshell-like structure was pro-
posed for Flat Iron in the citys parks master
plan.
Plans for the performance pavilion will
be reviewed by the city councils public works
committee and will require approval by the city
council.
Krause said the beautification committee is
moving ahead with planning and funding for
the project so construction can start in early
spring.
The beautification committee is an independent,
nonprofit organization.
Public Works Director Dan Winkler and Mayor Jim
Connors sit on the committee as city representatives.
Brugger received the appreciation of
the Lake Geneva City Council, a may-
oral resolution and a plaque just prior
to the council meeting July 8 for his 27
years as the city building inspector and
zoning administrator
Its been a pleasure to serve the city
for 27 years, Brugger said in a few brief
comments after receiving his plaque.
Brugger said that as a Lake Geneva
native, he did his job with the intention
of making Lake Geneva better place.
I treated everyone who walked
through the door as my boss, said Brugger, who worked
with developers, builders and private citizens to get proj-
ects properly permitted and inspected.
And then he was gone. Bruggers last ofcial day was
Tuesday, July 9.
The city has advertised for applicants for the building
inspector/zoning administrator position, but construction
and zoning issues will not take a respite.
So, the city council took action to ll in the gap.
The council members voted unanimously to hire Munic-
ipal Services LLC, Lyons, to do city inspections.
The inspection rm will charge the city $57 for each
trip to the city and $57 an hour for inspections, ofce hours
in the city and attending meetings if requested.
City Administrator Dennis Jordan recommended hiring
Municipal Services. Jordan had also been in contact with
Professional Building Inspections, Delavan, as well. PBI
was asking $65 per inspection for permitted projects, and
80-20 percent split in fees for new construction and new
projects, with PBI getting 80 percent, a $65 fee for nonper-
mit related services and $85 an hour to attend meetings at
the citys request.
Meanwhile Mike Slavney of Vandewalle & Associates,
the city planner, will do the zoning administration for the
city. The council voted to hire Municipal Services from July
9 until a full-time building inspector/zoning administrator
is hired.
The councils personnel committee is scheduled to
begin reviewing resumes July 17.

Stressing the importance of offering nutritious meals to
children during the summer months, the Lake Geneva Joint
One School District announces the sponsorship of the Summer
Food Service Program.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which is funded
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is admin-
istered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction,

free and reduced-price school meals are typically unavailable.
Free meals will be made available to children 18 years of age
and under. Persons over 18 years of age who are determined
by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally
or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or
private non-prot school program during the regular school
year may receive free meals as well.
The following locations will be serving the free meals from
August 5 through August 23:

Meals are provided to eligible children regardless of race,
color, national origin, age, gender or disability, and there will
be no discrimination in the course of meal service.
This program lls a void created when school lunches are
not available, said Ms. Donna Ecklund, School Food Service
Coordinator. Helping parents meet the nutritional needs of
their children is the strength of the program.

July 18, 2013 The Regional News 9A
Ive adopted 35 daughters and a hundred sons, he
said. Ive been invited to their weddings, and unfortu-
nately, I attended some of their funerals.
Ralph was the perfect individual for the job, said
Mark Pienkos, former Badger principal and now president
of the Lake Geneva Police and Fire Commission. He had
a passion for the school.
Born and raised in Lake Geneva, the Braden family
ran the Riviera until the city took it over in 1979.
As a 1976 Badger graduate, Braden knew the school
and knew many of the teachers who were still there.
Knowing the teachers and principals, it was a good
t, Braden said.
Braden said he worked with the police departments
gang unit starting in the 1980s.
In the early 1990s, Braden was the departments gang
ofcer. He was a member of the Midwest Gang Investiga-
tors Association.
Lake Geneva didnt have any established gangs, but
there were a lot of gangbanger wannabes in the city who
were causing trouble, he said.
We didnt have any problems in the school, yet,
Braden said.
The key to heading off gangs was getting into schools,
where the kids were, Braden said.
Braden said he and former Police Chief Richard New-
berry decided the best way to cut off trouble was to go
where the young people were, in the school.
Braden moved into Badger High School as liaison in
1995.
Pienkos said the goal of the liaison program was to
integrate the police ofcer into the life of the school.
It wasnt just a police ofcer with an ofce in the
school, Pienkos said.
And Braden knew just what to do.
Here was Ralph, in plainclothes, in the hallway and
talking with the kids, Pienkos said. He was proactive, he
wasnt just waiting for things to happen.
Pienkos said the Badger School District, then under
Superintendent Harry Van Dyke, were thinking along the
lines of a school liaison program in 1994, the same year
Pienkos came on as Badger principal.
Pienkos said that in the mid-1990s, Badger was
entirely different. It was about half its current size and it
was crowded.
And there were discipline issues. Pienkos said that
in his rst year as Badger principal we probably had the
highest expulsion rate in the state of Wisconsin.
The school district applied for and received a federal
grant that covered half of the cost of the program for a few
years, and the school-police liaison program was born.
When the program rst started, Braden said, he came
to the school in uniform. More than once, a student on a
dare or just trying to be funny, tried to steal his badge, he
said.
Then he went to a sport coat and tie, and found that
worked much better.
Kids will talk to you with a suit coat, he said.
Recently, the uniform was changed to a polo shirt and
khakis. And yes, Braden did carry his service sidearm
into the school, right up until his last day.
He said he was approached just once by a teacher, who
wanted to know when Braden started carrying his pistol
into the school.
I told him I always carried it, Braden said. Students
were more accepting. He said that to them, the holster
and sidearm was just a part of the uniform.
Braden didnt develop his relationships with students
by taking a strict ofcer on patrol, attitude.
Hes coached Badger football and coached Badger girls
softball.
You need to be in the hallways. You need to talk to
kids, he said.
Teachers, particularly social studies and civics teach-
ers, would ask Braden to talk to their classes about the
laws and law enforcement in general.
Braden said he, in cooperation with the schools staff
and the police and sheriffs departments, developed safety
plans for the Lake Geneva schools.
He said the Lake Geneva elementary, middle and high
schools have all been conducting lockdown drills, in which
students, staff and law enforcement ofcers practice pro-
cedures to be used in the case of an active shooter. Braden
said Lake Geneva has been conducting those drills since
the 1999 Columbine school shootings.
Wisconsin didnt make those drills mandatory until
the next school year, Braden said.
Braden also keeps his eyes open for funding to improve
school security.
He said that the police department applied for a
$57,000 federal Save Our Schools matching grant for
school security. The Lake Geneva school districts matched
the grant, he said.
Awarded in 2010, the grants allowed the districts to
add between 12 and 16 security cameras in the schools.
Those cameras can be monitored from the school ofces
and by police computers as well, Braden said.
The grant and matching funds also paid for several
new security doors at Eastview Elementary School, he
said.
Braden said he never planned on being a police of-
cer.
I just fell into it, he said.
Braden said he married out of high school and was
working as a milk delivery man for a local dairy. Then, he
broke his foot playing basketball.
A young part-timer was assigned to help Braden make
milk deliveries while his foot mended.
Braden said the young assistant was Jeff Nelson,
son of then Lake Geneva police Lt. Tom Nelson. He said
Nelson told him he should apply to the Lake Geneva police
department.
After his foot healed, Braden did just that.
In June 1980, Braden was hired as a reserve (part-
time) ofcer.
Braden earned his certication as a police ofcer in
1981 at Blackhawk Technical College, Beloit. On July 1,
1981, he was hired as a full-time Lake Geneva police of-
cer.
Braden said his retirement doesnt mean hes going to
stop working altogether.
He said he still plans to work part-time as director of
maintenance for the Alpine Valley Music Theater.
That will keep me busy, he said.
Braden said he and his wife, Ginny, live in Burlington.
They have three daughters, one who lives in Kenosha one
who lives in Muskego and one at home who is majoring in
pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin.
The Bradens have two grandchildren.

Road maintenance
set for this week
The Walworth County
Public Works department
has announced that main-
tenance will be performed
on the following roads,
beginning the week of July
15, weather permitting.
n County Highway K
(5.7 miles) from Highway
14 to the state line.
n County Highway X
(1.5 miles) from Darien to
County Highway K.
n County Highway B
(2.7 miles) from County
Highway C to Rock County
line.
n County Highway
C (3.6 miles) from High-
ways14 and 11 to Highway
14.
n County Highway C
(2.2 miles) from Martin
Street to the county line.
n County Highway ES
(1.7 miles) from Highway 12
to County Highway A.
n County Highway C
(5.7 miles) from County
Highway X to Sharon city
limits.
The chip-seal process
consists of distributing a
liquid asphalt emulsion
on the roadway and cover-
ing the liquid asphalt with
crushed stone to provide a
new wear surface.
Chip-sealing extends
the life of a roadway by pro-
tecting it from moisture,
provides a new wear surface
and helps keep the original
payment from becoming
brittle. Chip-sealing is one
of the most cost effective
pavement preservation
procedures available.
After this process is
completed, a 35 mph speed
limit will be posted for one
week to allow adequate
time for the surface to fully
set up. Obeying the 35 mph
speed limit and allowing
additional space between
vehicles will limit potential
damage to vehicles by loose
stone.

Former coach gets 4 years for child enticement
By Robert Ireland
[email protected]
ELKHORN The prosecutor painted
former wrestling coach Steven Springsteen-
Hensel as a man who groomed children so
he can develop a sexual relationship with
them.
Springsteen-Hensels defense attorney
argued his client was a good person and
coach who used terrible judgment when he
sent sexually explicit text messages to a 17-
year-old boy on the cusp of his 18th birth-
day.
Walworth County Judge John Race sen-
tenced Springsteen-Hensel, 32, Elkhorn, to
four years in prison and
six years of extended
supervision after he
pleaded guilty to a felony
charge of child entice-
ment.
Springsteen-Hensel
was arrested May 15,
2012, after he sent text
messages to a Delavan
detective who was pre-
tending to be a 17-year-
old boy that Springs-
teen-Hensel knew from the Southern Lakes
Wrestling Center.
Springsteen-Hensel was an unpaid vol-
unteer at the wrestling club for more than
a decade.
He spent a signicant amount of time
there and was instrumental in its growth,
according to courtroom testimony.
On May 7, 2012, the boy asked Springs-
teen-Hensel for a job at the Southern Lakes
Wrestling Center, and Springsteen-Hensel
told the boy to get the job he would need to
allow Springsteen-Hensel to perform oral
sex on him, according to the criminal com-
plaint.
Delavan Police Det. Joaquin Alonzo
used the boys phone to send text messages
to Springsteen-Hensel.
Posing as the 17-year-old, Alonzo set up
a meeting with Springsteen-Hensel at Phoe-
nix Middle School in Delavan.
According to the plan that was devel-
oped during the texting, Springsteen-Hensel
and the boy would go on a bike ride on the
White River Trail and on the trail Springs-
teen-Hensel would perform oral sex on the
17-year-old.
When police arrested Springsteen-
Hensel in the parking lot of Phoenix Middle
School, he had two mens bicycles mounted
on the back of his Ford Escape.
The victim in the case turned 18 the
next day.

News in Milwaukee, two other men were
also shot. Their injuries were non-life-
threatening.
The shooting occurred in the 1400
block of W. Concordia Avenue at 3:40 a.m.
Contreras body was found near the
intersection of 15th Street and W. Keefe
Avenue, one block to the northwest.
Milwaukee police told CBS 58 News
they had four people in custody. The shoot-
ing may be drug-related.
Domagalski said no further informa-
tion was available for release at this time.
Fontana swim benets warriors foundation
By Jade Bolack
[email protected]
FONTANA Five years ago, the Swim
4 Freedom raised $3,000 from its six par-
ticipants.
Last year, 60 participants raised more
than $45,000.
I dont know if well be able to top that
again this year, Steele Whowell, organizer
of the event, said.
The swim, held on Sunday, Aug. 4,
raises money for the Special Operations
Warrior Foundation. The foundation
helps fund college education for children
of Special Operation service members.
The foundation is rated a four-star
charity for nancial efciency by Charity
Navigator.
Whowell said it was important for him
when selecting a charity that the funds
help people, not fund overhead.
I really looked into (the foundation)
when we started this, he said. I didnt
want people to raise money to go to public
relations or that kind of thing. I wanted
the money to help.
Whowell said the group has been sup-
portive of the swimming fundraiser since
the beginning.
They were easy to work with and
helpful in getting all the information we
needed, he said.
The swim
The event starts at 5 a.m. at Gordys
Boat House in Fontana.
We like to get the swim out of the way
early, Whowell said.
After a sign-up, swimmers get on
a boat and are dropped off at the Lake
Geneva Beach.
At 6 a.m., the water safety patrol
sounds their horn to start, he said. Some
people do it by themselves, others in relay
teams. They jump off the boat and a team
member continues the race.
The straight distance is eight miles,
but Whowell said it varies by person.
Last year, my wife and I swam about
nine miles because we were trying to avoid
the wind, he said. The top nishers come
in between three and four hours. There
are a lot that come in around the four- to
six-hour range. There are some that take
seven or eight hours to complete it.
Whowell said he has all skill levels sign
up for the swim, but dont think its easy.
A long-time swimmer, Dan Projansky
calls the Swim 4 Freedom his most dif-
cult swim.
Id say even though its not 27 miles
like I did just two days ago, the eight miles
that it is, I have to rank that as one of the
toughest swims I do, Projansky said.
Youve got white caps. Youve got squalls.
Youve got messy water blowing in your
face.
To sign up for the Swim 4 Freedom,
visit the fundraisers website, www.
swim4freedom.org. The site also
allows donations to the foundation.

Operations Warrior Foundation can

Projansky swims the entire route with
the buttery stroke. Thats how hes done it
the last three years. The rst year, he said
he swam it freestyle.
I have to put as much energy into that
swim as what I did in the 27 miles, he said.
Id rank the Swim 4 Freedom a top notch
event.
Swim among friends
Projansky has been swimming for his
whole life.
I started doing triathlons in 1989,
he said. I was always on the master swim
team. I stopped doing those in 2009. Now, I
just swim. Thats my better sport anyway.
He trains in Geneva Lake, too.
Lake Michigan is unpredictable, Pro-
jansky said. I like to go to Williams Bay
or Reid Park and swim. Im usually seen
in Lake Geneva a couple of times a week
throughout the summer.
Because he swims alone, he pulls a
boogie boat with a rudder to hold his sup-
plies and a ag to let boaters know hes
there.
His training plan? Just swimming.
I wear the harness and like to swim the
circumference of the bay, Projansky said.
I just get in the water and swim.
He likes fundraising for the Special
Operations Warrior Foundation, too.
I love that event. The charity that its
for is a wonderful charity, he said. To be
afliated with a charity for kids that need
an education is important to me. I look for-
ward to the collecting process to get money
for the event.
The swim may be a challenge, but its
worth it.
Steele does a great job, Projansky said
of Whowell. Hes a terric race director.
He works hard. The volunteers are terric.
Ive always had a great time.

From mailboat jumper to ship captain
By Jade Bolack
[email protected]
Keith Vogt doesnt get interviewed
much anymore.
They like to come and talk to the rst-
time jumpers, not someone whos been
here for this long, he said. They want to
talk to new kids, see why theyre trying
out.
Vogt has been a mailboat jumper for
four years, since he was a senior in high
school.
Every summer, the Walworth II, a
member of the Geneva Lake Cruise Line,
delivers mail to residents living on the
lake. Mailboat jumpers jump from boat to
dock, deposit the mail, and jump back on
the still-moving boat.
Now, a student at the University of Wis-
consin - La Crosse, Vogt doesnt deliver the
mail as much as he used to.
I train others to jump now, Vogt said.
I still jump sometimes, but its mostly the
others.
Hes not just a trainer, though. Vogt
is also a captain on one of the cruise line
boats, the Geneva.
Its a smaller version of the Walworth,
he said. They (management at the cruise
line) came to me and asked if I wanted to
learn how to captain the boat.
Vogt said he didnt need to get his cap-
tains license because of the small size of
Geneva Lake.
I just needed to be trained and get
a safety certicate, he said. A lot of the
older captains, who have been doing it a
while, they just cruise right into the docks
and park. I just coasted in real slow the
rst time.
With a full boat, Vogt said parking a
boat is nerve wrecking.
The crowd makes you more nervous,
he said. Theyre all watching and waiting
for you to park the boat.
While he doesnt deliver mail that
often anymore, the mailboat tour on the
Walworth is still his favorite.
The people on that tour really pay
attention, Vogt said. They want to be
there and hear about the mail delivery and
everything. Theyre not just on a tour to get
out on the lake, like on some other tours.
His favorite house on the lake isnt
mentioned on any of the tours, and he
wouldnt share the homes name.
They wanted to stay anonymous, so
we dont mention the house, he said. I
also like Hillcroft, one of the former Wrig-
ley mansions.
Hillcroft was originally built in the late
1800s, and the home was P.K. Wrigleys
summer residence from 1927 to 1977. The
current Hillcroft is a reconstruction of the
original.

Mabel Cratty Hall at George Williams
College of Aurora University, Williams
Bay, received a Merit Award for excellence
in architectural design by the 2013 Design
Awards program of AIA Wisconsin, the
state society of the American Institute of
Architects.
It was one of seven Wisconsin building
projects to receive recognition.
Mabel Cratty Hall was designed by HGA
Architects and Engineers and honored for
its innovative and environmentally sensi-
tive design solutions, as well as for its atten-
tion to detail and creative use of materials.
Aurora University ofcials asked the
architect to restore the social and educa-
tional functions of the building, originally
constructed in 1926, and the shared court-
yard.
After researching its historic qualities,
HGA recommended retaining the exte-
rior Arts and Crafts aesthetic shared by
other campus buildings through respectful
reconstruction and renovation.
A new entrance hall was created, and the
wings to the courtyard were rebuilt to pro-
vide support services. A wraparound porch
was reconstructed with period details and
lighting.
The energy efciency of the entire
building was improved by adding insula-
tion, replacing all the windows and install-
ing new heating and cooling units, which
enable the building to be used yearround.
The interior was reimagined for contem-
porary campus life while being consistent
with the original design intent.
The centerpiece of the project involved
the renovation of the great hall, which was
demolished to the structural framing before
gaining a new polished cement oor.
In addition, the project restored the
replaces and inserted new vertical glass
doors, restoring the concept of free owing
space from the courtyard through the hall
and out to the porch facing the lake.
The building brings the outdoors in,
transforming from a warm replace study
in the winter to an inviting and exciting
event space in the summer.

Mecum presents plans for expansion
By Jade Bolack
[email protected]
WALWORTH The village plan commission has
nally seen some preliminary plans from Mecum Auctions
on its long-proposed expansion.
In June, the village board approved an extension on the
auto auction companys option to buy village-owned land.
During the July 15 commission meeting, Troy Giles,
general legal counsel for Mecum, presented proposed
plans for the storage building.
Were starting to get a little pressed for space in our
building, Giles said. Were proposing to build a structure
immediately to the north of our building.
Giles said the building would include some ofce space
but would mostly be overow storage for vehicles.
We would start in probably one phase and expand
as we need to in the future, he said. The purpose of the
building is going to be what the request for rezone is for,
for additional storage.
The companys property expansion will also cut down
on semi-trailer trafc along Fairview Drive because a
between-property access drive would be created.
If this were a residential property, we wouldnt allow
access between properties, Ron Nyman, building inspec-
tor, said. In this case, the code does allow for it. This
requires a rezone public hearing by the board (and) a con-
ditional use permit.
Giles said the paved area connecting the two proper-
ties wouldnt be for parking.
Our intent is to bring the vehicles through Mecums
existing property and use the area for a loading zone,
he said. Its not going to be for parking, just for access
between the two properties.
The loading and unloading of cars wont happen in that
open space, though.
We have the building designed so the trucks can drive
in and we unload inside, Giles said. The trucks will exit
and go back through (the property).
The indoor unloading will keep passers-by from seeing
it, and additional landscaping will blend in with an area
that was originally zoned residential.
If that area ever does open up again for homes, well
work with the village to make sure our lighting isnt harm-
ing anyone, Giles said. We have to nd that balance of
keeping our area safe but not creating light pollution for
our neighbors.
Future expansion could be approved at the same public
hearing as the rst expansion.
Giles said the company could break ground for the
building as soon as the spring.
We thought we would look at making the future
expansion part of the conditional use permit, Nyman
said. Then follow up when they actually (want to build)
with a site plan for plan commission.
Nyman said this removes the additional step of setting
another public hearing.
Tomorrow, we could literally be out of space, he said.
It all depends on what comes up to our facility.
Scheduling a public hearing takes time.
The commission has to approve a recommendation to
send the rezoning public hearing to the village board.
If the board approves of setting a hearing, they can
schedule it as early as two weeks later, depending on public
notice laws. Village President David Rasmussen said the
rezone may not be fully approved until September.
The purpose of the building is going to be
what the request for rezone is for, for additional
storage, Troy Giles, general legal counsel for
Mecum, said.
Bay school days will be 15 minutes longer
WILLIAMS BAY School days in Williams Bay Ele-
mentary School will be 15 minutes longer starting the 2014-
15 school year.
The Williams Bay School Board voted to extend the
school day at a special meeting July 11.
Dianna Woss, school board president, said the change
will bring the district more into line with state Department
of Instruction guidelines.
Class times for math and reading were already extended,
and teachers suggested that more time be devoted to lan-
guage arts as well, Woss said.
The school day last year went from 8:20 a.m. to 3:10
p.m. Next year, the day will start at 8:15 a.m. and run until
3:20 p.m. to give an extra 15 minutes to language arts, Woss
said.
Barb Isaacson, elementary school principal, did a survey
of area schools and discovered some districts have already
gone to seven and half hour school days.
Historical Society meeting set for July 25
Fine-art photography by Bruce Thompson and oil paint-
ing by his late father Richard will be featured at the Histori-
cal Society of Walworth and Big Foot Prairie summer get-
together Thursday, July 25.
The event starts at 6:30 p.m. at Thompson Art Gallery,
N1381 Highway 14, just northwest of Walworth. Every-
one, not just society members, is invited to attend. Bruce
Thompson will provide a tour of his studio as well as share
stories of his successful commercial photography career
and his passion for high-quality artistic photography. He
has won numerous awards with both color and black-and-
white photographs.
His awards are not surprising, since his grandfather,
Abijah Thompson, was a Chicago illustrator in the early
1900s and later became the art director for Montgomery
Ward. Richard Thompson gained international fame as an
American Impressionist and often was compared to the
French artist Monet. Bruce will tell about his fathers many
talents and eventual rise to fame.
Richard Thompson, who died in 1991, focused on ne
art beginning in 1959.
Before that he achieved success in commercial illustra-
tion by creating works for World War II bond posters and
the Saturday Evening Post.
He worked for Haddon Sundblom Studios in Chicago,
which produced many famous Coca-Cola ads of the era.
The majority of Thompsons work was sold through the
Richard Thompson Gallery located in San Francisco, Calif.
His paintings are exhibited in museums, galleries, numer-
ous private collections and such places as Sears Roebuck,
Brigham Young University, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Mar-
quette University, Naval Art Collection at the Pentagon in
Washington, Robert Louis Stevenson Academy, University
of Washington, Wisconsin Memorial Park and Continental
Illinois Bank. On display will be various products the gal-
lery offers for sale such as ne art, color and black-and-white
photography, acrylic prints, canvas prints, metal prints and
posters of Geneva Lake.
Those attending the talk are requested to bring their
own lawn chairs.

Lehman at (262) 275-2426.

Prosecutors arguments
Deputy District Attorney Joshua Grube said this case
is more than a man propositioning sex to a boy on the eve
of his 18th birthday. Instead, Grube argued that Springs-
teen-Hensel used his position as a coach to gain trust and
inuence over a child.
The presentence investigation (PSI) recommended an
11-year sentence for Springsteen-Hensel, which included
seven years of initial connement and four years of
extended supervision. A PSI is a report by the Department
of Corrections.
The PSI writer reviews the relevant facts and speaks to
the victims and the defendant.
Grube said Springsteen-Hensel also sent inappropriate
text messages to the victims 15-year-old brother. Springs-
teen-Hensel admitted to the presentence investigator that
he may have said sexually inappropriate comments to other
children, but nobody younger than 15, Grube said during
the hearing.
This was horric for (the victim), Grube said. Hes
a smart kid, hes a tough kid, but this had a tremendous
impact on him.
Because Springsteen-Hensel was the boys coach, he
conned in him, Grube said.
He used this as a way to build his trust and to nd
common ground, Grube said. This is prime and glaring
evidence of his grooming behavior.
Grube said after the charges against Springsteen-
Hensel became public other boys came forward with
reports of odd behavior by the coach.
Children reported to their parents that Springsteen-
Hensel would hug them, tell them he loved them and would
make sexual comments to them.
Grube said this case isnt a single act, but instead was
months in the making.
Defense arguments
Public Defender Travis Schwantes said it would be a
sad day if Springsteen-Hensel was sent to prison.
He pointed out to the judge that Springsteen-Hensel
never performed a sex act on a child, but instead was there
because he sent extremely inappropriate text messages.
Schwantes said parents coming forward with reports
of unusual behavior is the result of the charges becoming
public. Schwantes said that actions that werent questioned
before hugs and comments were now viewed as devi-
ous.
It suffers from the hindsight bias, Schwantes said.
Schwantes said that if Springsteen-Hensel was truly
using the wrestling club to groom children, the courthouse
would have been lled with children that Springsteen-
Hensel harmed. The actual incident, Schwantes argued,
involved Springsteen-Hensel sending inappropriate text
message to a child 10 hours before the boys 18th birthday.
Schwantes read some of the text messages between his
client and Alonzo to Race.
In at least three of the text messages Springsteen-
Hensel asked Alonzo, who he thought was the victim, if he
wanted to back out, Schwantes said.
Schwantes said Springsteen-Hensel also built up the
club. When Springsteen-Hensel arrived it was a bad-news-
bears organization and is now a national powerhouse,
Schwantes said.
Schwantes said in the past two years he found six cases
in Walworth County where men actually had sexual con-
tact with children and didnt receive a prison sentence or a
shorter sentence than the one the PSI recommended.
Schwantes asked Race to stay a 10-year sentence, with
ve years of initial connement and ve years of extended
supervision. Defendants only serve stayed sentences if
they violate the terms of their probation.
If he violates the terms of his probation he would go
to prison for longer than adults who actually had sex with
children, Schwantes said.
Springsteen-Hensels statement
When given a chance to speak, Springsteen-Hensel
apologized to the victim and his family.
For everything I created, the pain, anger and public-
ity on the victim I am sincerely sorry, Springsteen-Hensel
said. I pray they can heal and move forward.
He said when he spent 29 days in jail after his arrest, he
prayed they would heal from the wounds that I created.

found more than 200 grams of pot,
a loaded pistol and child pornogra-
phy in his apartment.
David J. Patwell, 25, now of
Cross Plains, pleaded guilty Oct. 19
to felony charges of possession of
child pornography and possession
of marijuana with intent to deliver.
After Patwell serves his prison
sentence, he will spend three years
on extended supervision.
Deputy District Attorney
Joshua Grube asked Race to send
Patwell to prison, but Grube wasnt
specic about the length of sen-
tence.
The presen-
tence investiga-
tion report (PSI)
and Patwells
attorney, John
Birdsall, recom-
mended a pro-
bation sentence.
A PSI is a report
by the Wiscon-
sin Department
of Corrections
that recom-
mends a sentence.
After the hearing, Grube
explained why he believes that
prison was appropriate.
There were certainly a lot of
concerning images, and there are
real people behind these images
who are profoundly affected by
people viewing and sharing these
images, Grube said. He was also
an admitted drug dealer that had
a loaded pistol in his desk drawer
when they found him.
The Walworth County Drug
unit raided Patwells apartment on
June 10, 2010, after a condential
informant purchased $1,000 worth
of pot from him.
The amount of marijuana
and the admission to dealing for
at least a year, and the presence
of at least one loaded rearm may
have resulted in a prison term on
its own, Grube said. Really by far
the more serious charges were the
child pornography.
During the raid, police also
conscated Patwells computers
and hard drives and found child
pornography, child erotica and
hundreds of images of bestiality.
Patwell rst appeared in front
of Race for a sentencing hearing in
January, but Race ended the hear-
ing after 45 minutes and continued
it. This was done because it was
almost 5 p.m. During the July 10
hearing, Birdsall made an argu-
ment for probation before Race
sent his client to prison.
During the rst court appear-
ance, Grube said that Patwell
wasnt just simply viewing the child
pornography, but he was saving the
images into folders and archiving
it.
Law enforcement also exam-
ined the search terms Patwell used
on search engines. The search
terms sought information on per-
forming bestiality.
The loaded pistol in Patwells
desk drawer wasnt the only rearm
police located in the apartment.
Assault ries and a pistol-grip
shotgun were also conscated.
Patwell
Processing server gets probation
ELKHORN A 40-year-old
process server was sentenced June
12 to two years of probation after
he lied about serving court papers
to two people.
Randy L. Ruegg of Kenosha
pleaded guilty May 24 to two felony
counts of forgery of an ofcial cer-
tication.
The probation term wont begin
until he has completed his proba-
tion term in Kenosha County on
unrelated charges.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
On Nov. 29, 2011, Walworth
County Court Commissioner Kris-
tine Drettwan made a complaint
against Ruegg, a private pro-
cess server, to
the Walworth
County Sheriffs
Department.
Dr e t t wa n
reported that
two parties,
who were sup-
posedly served
by Ruegg, ada-
mantly claimed
that they hadnt
been served.
One person was reportedly
served on Dec. 19, 2010, at a private
residence in Lake Geneva. Rueggs
notarized signature appears on the
afdavit, indicating that he person-
ally served the individual.
On March 6, police spoke to the
man who said he owns two rental
properties in a private subdivision
in Lake Geneva but doesnt live
there.
Police spoke to both tenants on
the property, who conrmed no
one attempted to serve papers to
anyone at their residences.
When police spoke to Ruegg, he
admitted that the personal service
on the afdavit was incorrect.
He said the residence was in a
private gated community, and he
was denied access.
Police spoke to Keith Tillman
of GAS Security, who oversees the
subdivisions security.
Tillman reviewed the denied
access log and reports no one was
denied access into the community
from Nov. 28, 2010, to Jan. 22,
2011.
In the other case, Ruegg
claimed he served a woman at a
private residence in Aniwa. At the
time of the service, the woman was
in Chicago.
When police spoke to Ruegg,
he said he served papers to the
woman.
When police asked Ruegg where
Aniwa was, he responded up in
Wisconsin and in the Madison
area.
Aniwa is more than 150 miles
from the Madison area, about 25
miles east of Wausau.
Ruegg
Como man faces charges for chats with child
An 18-year-old Lake Como
man is accused of asking a 12-year-
old boy, whom he met on Facebook,
for naked pictures and sending the
child a link to a pornographic web-
site.
Matthew S. Rollie, N3326 Hick-
ory Road, faces a felony charge of
exposing a child to harmful mate-
rial. He also faces misdemeanor
charges of impersonating a peace
ofcer and disorderly conduct.
The felony charge carries a
maximum penalty of 3 1/2 years
imprisonment.
According to the crim-
inal complaint:
On June 3, police
interviewed the boy
about his relationship
with Rollie. The child told
police that he and Rollie
regularly chat on Face-
book and Rollie asks the
child to send him pictures
of his penis.
The boy said Rollie has
sent him pictures of marijuana and
offered to get the child the
drug. The child told police
that Rollie offered to vid-
eotape himself having sex
with his girlfriend and to
send the child the video.
Police reviewed the
chat log between the
victim and Rollie. During
the chat, Rollie told the
boy that he was a Delavan
police ofcer and was off
of work because he was
hurt during an on-duty accident.
On June 23, the boy told police
that he met Rollie on Facebook in
January or February. The two met
at the McDonalds in Lake Geneva
in April or May.
After hanging out at the McDon-
alds, the boy and Rollie walked to
the bathroom at Library Park. At
the park, Rollie unsuccessfully
attempted to call someone to buy
marijuana.
Rollie also asked the child
to expose himself, but the boy
refused.

COURT REPORT
Woman gets probation for
New Years Day crash
A 20-year-old Kansaville
woman who was driving drunk on
New Years Day, crashed her vehicle
and injured her passenger was sen-
tenced July 5 to four years of pro-
bation.
As a condition of her probation,
Danielle J. Curley must spend six
months in jail without work-release
privileges.
Her drivers license has been
revoked for two years and an igni-
tion interlock must be installed in
her vehicle during that time.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
On New Years Day, police
responded to a one-vehicle crash
at about 7:48 a.m. on Sheridan
Springs Road, in the town of Lyons.
The vehicle had driven off the road
and into a ditch.
Once police arrived, Curley had
already been removed from the
vehicle and was receiving treat-
ment in an ambulance. A passen-
ger was still pinned in the vehicle
and rescue workers were trying to
remove her.
The passenger was taken to
Froedtert Hospital, Wauwatosa, by
Flight For Life.
Inside the ambulance where
Curley was receiving treatment, a
Walworth County Sheriffs Deputy
could smell the odor of intoxi-
cants.
Medical personnel told the
ofcer that they could smell alco-
hol on Curley. A blood sample was
collected from Curley at Froedtert
Hospital.
The results came back at 0.121.
The legal limit is 0.08.
On Jan. 9, a Walworth County
Sheriffs sergeant met with the pas-
senger and her mother at Froedtert
Hospital.
The woman suffered a skull
fracture, concussion, a broken
clavicle, a broken arm, broken ver-
tebrae, a broken leg and other inju-
ries.

WILLIAMS BAY
SCHOOL BOARD
District Administrator could add his/her
expertise on. It was recommended that the
new Interim District Administrator update
this page using the PI 34 guidelines.
P. 10 - A Board member suggested
we look at our extra-curricular compensa-
tion and adjust accordingly. I would recom-
mend adding:
Cross Country $1455
Assistant Cross Country $ 979
Track $1455
Assistant Track $ 979
M. Coolidge will review all of the ath-
letic extra-curricular position compensation
and submit a written report to the Board
members for approval.
P. 14 - Tuition Reimbursement
1. The District shall reimburse teach-
ers the full cost of tuition for course work at
the prevailing costs equal to that of the
University of Wisconsin-Whitewater system
charge for resident students. Annual cost
per teacher will not exceed the amount
equivalent to 12 graduate credits at UW-
Whitewater.
2. Prior approval of course selection
must be given by the administration.
3. Tuition payments must be returned
to the School District if:
(a) The course is not completed
(b) A below B grade is received
(c) The employee voluntarily resigns
from employment and courses were (1)
approved after July, 1, 2014 change to of
the current school year and (2) reimbursed
within the previous 24 months of the effec-
tive date of resignation. Exceptions shall be
for serious health conditions, retirement,
and other reasons at the discretion of the
District.
P.27 - Add statement: Employees in
the Williams Bay School District are not to
have current students as friends on their
personal social networking sites (e.g. face-
book, myspace). How will it be monitored?
Clarify coaches, volunteers, etc. The DA
will check with the Districts attorney for
advisement.
P. 45 - Last year DA Dalzin created
Meet and Confer language to ease the tran-
sition from a collective bargaining agree-
ment to an employee handbook. He recom-
mended that the Board allow the new
District Administrator to develop new lan-
guage that better fits his/her style and needs
for collaboration. MOVE THIS TO THE
BEGINNING OF THE EMPLOYEE HAND-
BOOK, if the new DA wants to continue with
this committee.
Overload Pay
The School Board needs to make a
decision on what they believe a secondary
teacher should be paid for an overload.
Secondary teachers are required to teach
six classes in an eight hour period day.
There is no language in the past collective
bargaining agreement but records indicate
they were paid 1/6th of their salary. So for
an example if a teacher was making
$60,000, they would be paid an extra
$10,000. Mr. Butters and DA Dalzin
researched what other districts pay and the
most we could find was $2,994 per semes-
ter which is roughly $6,000 per year. The
recommendation for the overpay was to
have a flat rate of $6,000 per overload. J.
Pfeil stated he supports a flat rate of $6000.
Any changes decided on at this meet-
ing should be brought back to the July 8th
board meeting for approval.
C. Update on Interim Superintendent
Selection Process
DA Dalzin talked about the process
and timeline for selection of the superinten-
dent and high school principal positions. L.
Landgraf and C. Beinetti will present some
final applicants to the Board at a June 15th
closed session meeting. C. Beinetti will
contact the applicants. Interviews will be
held on June 27 for the Interim District
Administrator and a decision will be made at
a July 1, 2013 meeting to be held at 5:00
pm.
D. Update on High School Principal
Selection Process
J. Pfeil and B. Boggs will present can-
didates for the high school principal on June
26 and June 28, when interviews will be
held. The final decision for the high school
principal position will be on July 2, 2013.
The Board desires to have a recommenda-
tion for both positions for the July 8, 2013
school board meeting.
V. REPORTS

II. COMMUNICATION AND PUBLIC
COMMENTS
A. Public Comments
C. Curry asked the Board to
answer the following questions: Is 1)
Scherrer under contract with the school dis-
trict at this time? 2) Do open enrollment stu-
dents pay to attend the Williams Bay
Schools? 3) Do we have a plan for what
type of building we would build? D. Woss
responded stating that Scherrer
Construction is not under contract at this
time; Open Enrollment students do not pay
to attend, but their school district pay an
approved amount; and there are no
specifics for a new building and that is why
the community has been asked for their
input. Discussion followed. The Board also
noted that studies have been done on the
ageing elementary school and the recom-
mendation from the Facilities Committee
was to go forward and pursue new con-
struction of an elementary school. It was
also stated that the Board will consider all
suggestions and input from the community.
Moved ahead on the agenda
IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. School Perceptions Survey
Presentation by Bill Foster
School Perceptions is a credible com-
pany that specializes in surveys for the pub-
lic sector. Bill Foster, from School
Perceptions, and Kit Daly, from Eppstein
Uhen Architects, explained the survey
process. Discussion followed. It was noted
that this survey is being done by a neutral
independent company with ideas and con-
cepts with very predictable and accurate
results. Staff, parents, nonparents and stu-
dents will be included in the survey. There
is a confidential demographics code includ-
ed and it prevents the same person from
doing duplicate surveys. The cost of the
survey would be approximately $8200 with
an additional cost for printing and postage,
which could be an additional $1000-$1200.
A June 19 meeting at 4:00 pm, Core Team
and representatives from EAU Architects
and School Perceptions will be held regard-
ing survey development.

book changes.
P. 3 - A Board member has requested
that language that requires all employees
have a drug test be added. DA Dalzin sug-
gested he was in favor of this, but some

CITY COUNCIL
PROCEEDINGS
including alternate #1 for heating the build-
ing and alternate #3 for demolition of the
current building, for a total amount of
$298,600.00 funded by TID #4, contingent
upon approval of a budget amendment.
Alderman Hill said the metal seam
roof was preferred due to its longer lifespan
than the shingled roof. She said the alter-
nate for heating the building was recom-
mended so that the building could be used
throughout the year. Alderman Wall stated
he did not support spending almost
$300,000.00 for a restrooms and conces-
sions building. He commented that the City
only receives $1,500.00 per year from the
current concessionaire for Veterans Park
and Dun Field. Alderman Kupsik said that
the concessions lease is a biannual lease
and it will be revisited once the Dunn Field
building is rebuilt. Alderman Taggart said the
new skate park is highly popular and the
new restroom facilities are necessary.
Alderman Mott said the proposed building
would also have a small break area that
could be used for senior citizens who volun-
teer at the skate park. Alderman Hougen
said his only objection to the project is
spending the additional $18,000.00 for the
metal seam roof.
Roll Call: Hougen, Mott, Hill, Kehoe,
Kupsik, Taggart and Lyon voted yes. Wall
voted no. Motion carried. 7 to 1.
Discussion/Action on installation of
two stand-up paddle boarding racks at the
west-end of Library Park in the amount not
to exceed $500.00 funded by the lakefront
fund (recommended by Piers, Harbors and
Lakefront Committee 5/23/13).
Hill/Mott motion to approve. Alderman
Hill referenced a sketch by DPW Winkler of
the proposed racks. She said the racks
would be an excellent use of space for a
non-motorized water sport. Alderman Mott
noted that DPW Winkler volunteered to con-
struct the racks and he invited others to offer
their assistance.
Roll Call: Hougen, Wall, Mott, Hill,
Kehoe, Kupsik, Taggart and Lyon voted
yes. Unanimously carried.
Discussion/Action on renewal of
Health Insurance Plan
Kupsik/Hougen motion to approve the
renewal of Health Insurance Plan with
Cypress for administrative services and
Berkeley for stop loss protection services.
Administrator Jordan said the City had a
high number of claims in the last year, but
he was comfortable with raising the stop
loss specific from $30,000 to $40,000
because the City doesnt have many claims
that fall between those figures. He noted the
City has begun implementing a wellness
program.
Roll Call: Hougen, Wall, Mott, Hill,
Kehoe, Kupsik, Taggart and Lyon voted
yes. Unanimously carried.

FOLLOWS:
PART I: That Section 15-17 in
Division 2 of Article I of Chapter 15 of the

amendment is to eliminate two 0.50 FTE RN
positions and create one 1.0 RN, and to
eliminate one 1.0 FTE LPN and create one
1.0 RN. These changes will be accom-
plished through attrition and utilizing the RN
staffing pool.
Affordable Care Act addresses health
care providers. As a health care provider,
LHCC is required to employ more RNs than

COUNTY LEGALS
make a decision tonight but they need direc-
tion from the Board.
Supervisor Kilkenny stated this is
something that needs to be looked at if it is
going to save money. He also stated he is
concerned that if you are out-of-state or
have an emergency, if you are allowed to
see a different provider or if you would have
to pay more money. Vice-Chair Grant stat-
ed if a doctor refers you to a specialist, part
of the referral process is to get clearance
from the insurance company to pay that bill
for wherever you go. Supervisor
Schiefelbein asked how the State Health
Plan will affect retirees. He stated that it is
important to know that Supervisors are not
covered by the county health plan. Vice-
Chair Grant stated that if retirees are eligible
for the county health plan then they are eli-
gible for the State Health Plan. He also stat-
ed that any employee that has not retired
yet, they will be eligible for the State Health
Plan when they do retire. Supervisor
Kilkenny stated that he is covered under the
county health plan and he pays the full pre-
mium. He said he would like to know the
aggregate savings if the county moves to
the State Health Plan. Andersen stated if
the county moves to the State Health Plan
and an employee chooses a plan that cov-
ers Aurora, it would require employees to
pay $500-$1,000 per month for their plan.
Supervisor Kilkenny stated the county con-
tribution to the premium under the State
Health Plan is stable. Vice-Chair Grant sug-
gested distributing the information he has
compiled on the State Health Plan to all
employees. Supervisor Weber stated listen-
ing sessions would need to be conducted so
that everyone is on the same page. He said
he is concerned about taking Aurora out of
the picture because of the network they rep-
resent which has degrees of expertise that
are available to us and our employees. He
stated he is not sure the competitors have
the same level of expertise even with their
dynamic growth. He said we need more
comparable information. He also said that
the savings rarely are there and if there are
savings, they are momentarily.
Supervisor Brandl stated if the county
moves to the State Health Plan, they will not
see savings initially due to being subject to
a surcharge the first year and possibly the
second year. Vice-Chair Grant stated there
may or may not be a surcharge. He said the
process is that the county applies for the
State Health Plan which includes submitting
24 months of medical payouts. He stated
the State Health Plan reviews this informa-
tion and determines if a surcharge would be
assessed. He said the county would be
notified if they will be assessed a surcharge
and what the surcharge will be before the
county would agree to be a part of the pro-
gram. He also said that if we are assessed
a surcharge, it is for the first year then the
second year is half of the surcharge. He
stated the surcharge is based on the num-
ber of employees and it would be the coun-
tys costs not the employees. Andersen
asked if the surcharge is subject to the 88%,
and Vice-Chair Grant indicated he could
obtain this information. Supervisor
Schaefer asked what surrounding counties
are on the State Health Plan and what their
surcharge was. Vice-Chair Grant stated
that Jefferson and Dodge Counties are on
the State Health Plan and he is unsure of
their surcharge as they have been on the
plan for quite some time. Chair Russell stat-
ed that one of the advantages of being on
the State Health Plan is that you are a part
of a bigger pool. Bretl asked if it is a priori-
ty to reduce the countys health insurance
costs. Vice-Chair Grant stated that is a pri-
ority to reduce insurance costs and that is
why he supports the State Health Plan
because it reduces the countys costs and it
keeps employees out-of-pocket expenses
reasonable.
Supervisor Stacey offered a motion,
seconded by Vice-Chair Grant, to eliminate
the on-site clinic as an option. Supervisor
Brellenthin stated it was a bad idea to elim-
inate the on-site clinic if we dont know what
insurance we are going to have. Bretl stat-
ed the Board can refer this back to the
Human Resources Committee and the
motion to refer back to committee would
take precedence over Supervisor Staceys
motion to eliminate the clinic. Supervisor
Kilkenny offered a motion, seconded by
Supervisor Brellenthin, to refer the issue of
the clinic back to the Human Resources
Committee as well as fully examine the
State Health Plan in order to obtain the infor-
mation requested. Motion carried. Chair
Russell suggested that Supervisors be in
attendance at the Human Resources
Committee on June 19, 2013. Administrator
Bretl directed the Clerk to place Supervisor
Grants correspondence regarding the State
Health Plan information on the countys
website.

Human Resources Committee
1. Discussion and possible action
regarding the future of Walworth Countys
health plan and on-site clinic
Administrator Bretl stated there has
been much discussion over the past sever-
al months regarding health insurance. He
said the countys Tier 1 health plan is a good
plan with respect to employee choice; how-
ever, it is an expensive plan relative to our
peers. He stated that of seven comparable
counties, the Tier 1 plan is one of the high-
est of surrounding counties. He said the
Tier 2 plan was also higher than average but
in the ballpark of what our peer counties
were. He stated over the years the county
has heard from its consultants that moving
to an off the shelf health plan with a group
of our size is not a good idea. He said that
costs for an off the shelf health plan are
the same but the county would be subject to
any rate increases. He also said that an on-
site clinic with a fitness facility was made
part of the 2013 budget. He stated that
based on feedback Supervisors had
received from constituents, the fitness and
new construction portions of this on-site
clinic were removed.
Bretl stated the first option for
Supervisors is that they can decide to con-
tinue with the countys current health plan,
Tier 1 and Tier 2, and they do not have to
change anything. He said a second option
is the possibility of moving to the State
Health Plan, which is significantly cheaper
than our current plan and is more cost effec-
tive from a taxpayer perspective. He stated
the State Health Plan is more limiting in
terms of employee choice. He said there
are several options that are free under the
State Health Plan but if you do not use those
providers, it is more expensive from the
employees perspective. He stated a third
option is the on-site clinic, which would be
coupled with the countys partially self-fund-
ed health plan. He said the county would
not need an on-site clinic if it is decided to
move to the State Health Plan because they
do not give credit for an on-site clinic. He
stated that the Board had discussed in
closed session the potential availability of a
building. He said setting up the on-site clin-
ic does not only include the purchase price
but also the costs of equipping it and oper-
ating it. He also said that if the Board
chooses this route, they would be looking at
a minimum of a three-year commitment.
Supervisor Schiefelbein asked for
clarification that with the State Health Plan,
employees are tied to one health care sys-
tem, which is Mercy. Vice-Chair Grant stat-
ed that is incorrect as Walworth County has
eight different plans to choose from under
the State Health Plan. He said that if an
employee chooses MercyCare or Unity, the
employee does not have to pay a premium
contribution towards the plan as the entire
contribution would be paid by the employer.
He stated he has made arrangements with
his contact at the State Health Plan to con-
duct a conference call with him during the
Human Resources Committee meeting on
Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Supervisor
Schiefelbein asked if Aurora is available as
a provider under the State Health Plan.
Vice-Chair Grant stated that Aurora is not
accepted by the State Health Plan as they
refused to submit a quote to the State. He
said that if an employee uses a clinic out-
side of Walworth County, the employee
must pay the premiums that coincide with
that county. Supervisor Schiefelbein asked
what providers are available in Walworth
County besides Mercy and Dean. Vice-
Chair Grant stated there is a Dean Clinic in
Whitewater and Mercy is available through-
out the county with the exception of the
eastern portion of the county. He said that
Unity does not have a clinic in Walworth
County, but they are contracted with Mercy.
He also said that if an employee wants to
use other providers, the State Health Plan
has plans such as the Standard Plan,
Anthem, and Humana; however, the rates
and out-of-pocket expenses are higher.
Supervisor Schiefelbein asked about the
dental and vision components of the State
Health Plan. Vice-Chair Grant stated that
currently there is limited dental offered in the
State Health Plan; however, it is anticipated
that in 2014, dental plans will be available.
He also stated he is not aware of any vision
plans with the State Health Plan.
Supervisor Schaefer asked how
many employees utilize Aurora. Nicki
Andersen, Deputy County Administrator
Finance, stated that based on the total
claims in 2012, 56% of those claims came
from Aurora, which equated to 46% of total
costs. Supervisor Schaefer stated that if the
county moves to the State Health Plan, any
employees that use Aurora doctors will have
to switch providers. Vice-Chair Grant stated
that if the county moved forward with the on-
site clinic, there would be a switch of med-
ical providers. Bretl stated the estimated
savings they came up with was based on
the incentive of utilizing the on-site clinic.
Andersen stated the incentive was to waive
copays and deductible if employees use the
on-site clinic. She also said that the more
people you have use the clinic, the more
savings you will have. Vice-Chair Grant
stated they have no guarantee as to how
many employees will utilize the clinic.
Andersen stated they have not factored in
any change in plan design other than
adding the on-site clinic. She said that
unless the Board decides otherwise, they do
not expect an increase. Supervisor
Brellenthin stated he cannot support chang-
ing to an insurance company that does not
recognize Aurora as a provider. Chair
Russell stated there are plans under the
State Health Plan that accept Aurora; how-
ever, they are more expensive. Vice-Chair
Grant stated that with the Standard Plan, an
employee can use any medical provider;
however, it carries a higher premium. He
said the maximum the employer will con-
tribute towards the premium is $552.88 for a
single plan. He also said that under the
family plan of the Standard Plan, the
employee would pay $985.39 towards the
premium. Bretl stated the employees con-
tribution for a family plan under the countys
current Tier 1 plan is $155 per month. He
also stated that under the countys present
plan, an employee can see a variety of
providers. He said that if the county moves
to the State Health Plan, it is cheaper for the
county but it is more expensive for a more
inclusive plan from the employees perspec-
tive. He stated the Board does not need to

staff in answering questions, sending out
updates, and works with office staff to make
sure BF is keeping compliant, etc. Dan indi-
cated he will personally work to make a
smooth transition if insurances companies
are changed.
Eugene Dunk gave a brief history of
WEA and its long relationship with Big Foot.
Because of Act 10, WEA has made changes
including their bylaws so they are able to
offer plans to the state and municipalities.
Big Foots loss ratio for 2012-13 was $1.23
to $1.00 and carried some large claims
which caused the proposed increase of
7.8%. Eugene indicated that over 10 years
the aggregate was less than 35%. He is
proud of their organization, people and his-
tory. Eugene also indicated that it has been
a pleasure to serve Big Foot and if BF
moves to a different carrier, that hopefully
some day WEA will be able to be Big Foots
provider once again.
On a Bill Grunow/Kim Arntz motion,
the Board accepted WCA to be the health
and dental provider for Big Foot High School
and EPIC to provide the life, long-term dis-
ability and short-term disability for 2013-
2014. Motion carried 5/0.
The meeting adjourned at 6:43 p.m.

CALL TO ORDER: President
Edward Hayden called the meeting to order
at 6:04 p.m. on a roll call vote: Gretchen
McCarthy, yes; Kim Arntz, yes; Edward
Hayden, yes; Bill Grunow, yes. Susan
Pruessing (arrived at 6:15 p.m.)
ALSO PRESENT: Dorothy
Kaufmann, District Administrator; Deborah
Way, Administrative Assistant; Eugene Dunk
representing WEA and Dan Martin repre-
senting WCA; and current and retired staff
members: Chrys Hovestol, Jan Berlin, Jen
Taylor, Michael Manghera, Kim Pitassi,
Margarita Gomez, Mike Sroda, Beth Grever,
Gail August, Neal Raskin, Amanda Boland,
Mary Burke and Marsha Ries.
There were no agenda revisions.
Personnel: Action to Approve
Recommendation for Filling the Art Position:
On a Gretchen McCarthy/Bill Grunow
motion, the board approved the hiring of
Becky Kohler as the new art teacher.
Motion carried 4/0. She is replacing
Jennifer King. Becky is presently teaching
at Evansville High School on a 65% con-
tract, comes highly recommended and is
very skilled in every area of the art curricu-
lum.
Request for Summer Hours: On a Bill
Grunow/Gretchen McCarthy motion, the
board approved 200 technology hours for
Tom Schauf and 67 Athletic Director hours
for Tim Collins. Motion carried 4/0.
Discussion and Possible Action on
Employee Health Care Coverage for the
2013-2014 school year: Edward Hayden
agreed to give ten minutes to the support
staff members in attendance to speak
regarding the topic. Previously, employees
were given an opportunity to speak on this
subject at the May 20, 2013 BOE meeting.
Jan Berlin spoke in favor of the switch.
WCAs coverage is comparable to WEAs
and with staff paying 12.6% of the premium;
it would save approximately $720 per year
for those with a family plan when computed
against WEAs July 1st renewal rate. Kim
Pitassi indicated that she would like to stay
with WEA because she is familiar with the
plan and knows what to expect with WEA. It
would give her peace of mind. Chrys
Hovestol read a statement indicating she
supports the switch to WCA because of the
cost savings for comparable insurance.
Gail August also favored the switch to WEA
because of the money savings, not only to
the staff, but to the school district. The com-
munity may ask why a change wasnt made
when there was an opportunity to save
money especially in light of the referendum
not passing and the Boards plan to try
again.
Gretchen McCarthy spoke of her
meeting with Dan Martin which included Kim
Arntz. Mr. Martin was able to answer all her
questions and put her mind at ease that if
the switch was made, the benefit package is
comparable to what Big Foot presently
offers. Premiums can be reduced because
discounts are based on United Health
Cares network. Gretchen also spoke about
the Affordable Care Act and how that will
affect Big Foot and the plans we offer.
Also discussed was the issue of net-
work and non-network providers. As long
as members have a referral from a Dr. in
network, then members can still go to
providers out of network with the same ben-
efit level and payment as those in network.
Members are still able to go out of network
if they choose but they would pay the 20%
co-insurance. The Wellness piece of WCA
was also reviewed as well as deductibles
that members have met with WEA will be
credited. It was also noted that if Big Foot
continues with WCA in 2014-2015, the max-
imum premium increase would be capped at
12%.
Mike Sroda asked why we went with
a third party broker who receives 1.5% com-
mission and not go to WCA directly. Dan
Martin explained that Big Foot would pay
the same rate whether we contract with
WCA directly or work through a third party.
The broker works on gathering data and
shopping around for the most competitive
rates. Their customer service works with

h. Status of Union Dues
Collection for 2013-2014: Union dues will
continue to be collected until the end of the
2012-2013 school years. BFHS will not col-
lect union dues for the upcoming 2013-2014
school year. Approval was made on a
Hayden/Pruessing motion, carried 5/0.
i. Consideration & Approval
CESA 2 Contract: Dorothy Kaufmann
reported that the only service we will be
requesting from CESA #2 is the
Administration (state required) service at a
fee of $586.00 per school year. Approval
was made on a Pruessing/McCarthy
motion, carried 5/0.
j. Update of Food Service
Contract with Fontana: Dorothy Kaufmann
reported that the Fontana School District will
not be utilizing our food services. Due to
cost, they have decided to go back to Taher
through Williams Bay.
k. Private School Transportation
Contracts: Approval of the contracts for pri-
vate school transportation was made on a
Hayden/McCarthy motion, carried 5/0.
l. Requests for Summer Hours
Guidance Counselors 50 hours each to be
completed by June 30, 2013: Mike Hinske
asked the BOE for an additional 50 hours of
work time for each Guidance Counselor to
be completed by June 30, 2013. Approval
was made on a Grunow/McCarthy motion,
carried 5/0.
m. Proposal to Extend Guidance
Counselors Contracts from 191 days to 201
days effective July 1, 2013: Mike Hinske
requested that the BOE extend the
Guidance Counselors contracts from 191 to
201 days. He is asking for 5 additional days
at the end of the school year and 5 addition-
al days prior to the beginning of the new
year. He said that there is an approximate
cost of $6,900 associated with it, but feels it
is definitely worth it and will make a big
impact on the students and getting their
schedules set up correctly. Approval to
accept the extension of contracts for
Guidance Counselors was made on an
Arntz/Grunow motion, carried 5/0.
n. Recognition of Art Students @
Geneva Lake Art Association Exhibit:
Dorothy Kaufmann reported that three
BFHS students were awarded for outstand-
ing art work. Zoe Klesmith received $500 for
her drawing, Sophia; Kyle Rambatt received
$250 for his self-portrait; and Eli Thompson
received $100 for his ceramic piece, Circle
Teapot. Ed Hayden said this reflects well on
our students and congratulations to all.
o. Legislative Update: Mike
Hinske asked BOE members to pay real
close attention for the next four weeks to
what is happening in the state legislature.
The Legislature is looking at capping Fund
80 and increasing the per pupil rate to $200.
Mike said he will send letters to Loudenbeck
and Kedzie. There was also some discus-
sion of the voucher system.

WALWORTH
COUNTY LEGALS
Rail Transit Commission. WSOR contracts
with the Wisconsin River Rail Transit
Commission and the Wisconsin Department
of Transportation (DOT). DOT is the man-
ager of the rail road system that WSOR
operates. As a freight rail operator, they
work closely with local units of government.
They operate in 21 counties in Southern
Wisconsin with 44 locomotives that service
over 180 customers throughout their entire
system, which is approximately 600 miles.
Mr. Lucht stated they have 250 dedicated
team members that provide service to all of
their customers on their system.
Mr. Lucht stated that the State of
Wisconsin and Walworth County are
involved in freight rail system preservation
because of the economics. He said one rail
car equates to four trucks. He stated last
year, they surpassed 60,000 car loads. He
also stated that trains and railroads are
environmentally friendly forms of transporta-
tion. He said todays trains can haul one ton
of freight over 480 miles on one gallon of
diesel fuel and they are continuing to
improve this so the costs savings to users is
substantial.
He stated their primary commodity is
grain and 50% of their traffic is related to
agricultural and energy products. He stated
it has been a successful partnership work-
ing the counties and the State of Wisconsin
as it has resulted in 40 new businesses in
the past five years and led to the creation of
1,300 new jobs. He added they have 12
new businesses in the planning stages.
He stated the company was estab-
lished in 1988 and at that time, they had
approximately 7,500 car loads. In 2012,
they surpassed 60,000 car loads. He also
stated they were affected by the recession
but they are climbing out of it. In 2016, they
estimate they will be close to 75,000 car
loads. He said the consequences of having
a successful partnership are the challenges
that you face. One of the biggest chal-
lenges is investments in track and infra-
structure. Over the last 30 years, they have
had an aggressive capital upgrade plan to
invest in these corridors to bring them up to
modern standards. A program that they
support and share with the Wisconsin River
Rail Transit Commission and DOT is an
aggressive tie replacement program. He
said one tie, if properly maintained, can last
over 40 years. They have an annual contin-
uous welded rail program as the majority of
the track operated on is a jointed track
which is nearly over 100 years old and was
designed for much lighter loads. Another
priority for their capital upgrade plan is to
invest in bridges. They have over 360
bridges that are not up to modern stan-
dards, which have resulted in numerous
slow orders where trains can only go 5 miles
per hour due to the age and condition of the
bridges. He stated the priority is to replace
these structures that are deteriorating. Mr.
Lucht gave an overview of a 2013 Capital
Rehab Project in Walworth County, which is
the Janesville to Zenda CWR (Continuous
Welded Rail) Project. He stated this is an
$11 million project with 80% coming from
DOT and 20% coming from WSOR. He
stated all projects use domestic products
with most materials coming from the
Midwest.
Mr. Lucht gave an overview of the
socio-economic benefits of freight rail,
which include 200 businesses employing
34,500 people; businesses pay $34 million
in property taxes per year; railroads pay $27
million in ad valorem taxes per year, which
is a tax on equipment, locomotives, and ter-
minals and buildings; rail saves agriculture
producers approximately $6 million per
year; the system saves Wisconsin taxpay-
ers over $12 million in highway mainte-
nance costs by having freight continued to
be used; 1,100 new jobs created in the past
five years; and 300 new jobs projected in
the next two years. These numbers were
generated by a recent economic impact
study that was conducted by UW-Extension
Services. Mr. Lucht also gave an overview
about the businesses in Walworth County
that use WSOR. He stated that grain is the
largest commodity in Walworth County.
There are approximately 500,000 tons of
products that go in and out of Walworth
County on an annual basis, with 83% of this
being grain or approximately 16.3 million
bushels of corn transported by rail. Another
large commodity in Walworth County is
refrigerated/cold storage foods.
Mr. Lucht opened up the presentation
for any questions and thanked the Board for
their support.

onded by Supervisor Weber, the meeting

Team is 13-6, gearing up for regionals this week in Burlington
Genoa City splits with East Troy
By Mike Ramczyk
[email protected]
EAST TROY Bouncing back from a 7-0 hole is never
easy.
But with plenty of offensive repower, the Genoa City
Junior Legion almost pulled off the impossible Sunday at
East Troy.
In game two of a doubleheader, Genoa City got to
within two runs after falling into an early hole but eventu-
ally lost, 11-9.
Despite the loss, Genoa City is 13-6 and begins the
playoffs Wednesday in Burlington.
Genoa Citys Colton Tisch was hot from the plate. He
went 4-for-5, drove in one and scored two runs. Tisch sin-
gled in the rst, second, fourth, and seventh innings.
The game was never in doubt after the rst, as East
Troy scored seven runs on an error, a elders choice, a
passed ball, three singles, and a wild pitch.
Genoa City got three-run rallies in the rst and fourth
innings. In the rst, Genoa City scored on a elders choice,
plating Tisch.
After pushing across two runs in the bottom of the
second, Genoa City cut the lead to 8-5. An RBI single by
Tisch and an error fueled Genoa Citys comeback. East
Troy stopped the rally after Nick Bertschinger got Alex
Morland to y out.
After three runs in the bottom of the fourth, Genoa
City faced just a 11-8 decit. An RBI single by Tisch, an
error and a groundout by Morland sparked Genoa Citys
rally.
One run in the bottom of the sixth helped Genoa City
cut the lead to 11-9. A sacrice y by Isaac Ziervogel gave
Genoa City life, but Nick Bertschinger retired Grayson
Grimsley to end the inning.
Genoa City battles Waterford in the rst game of
regionals Wednesday at Beaumont Field in Burlington.
In the rst game of the doubleheader, Genoa City
needed extra innings but came through with three in the
eighth to pull out a 5-2 victory.
Tischs RBI single proved to be the game-winner in the
eighth. Taylor Zick added a sacrice y in the frame.
Joe Ippolito got on base three times for Genoa City. He
singled in the seventh and eighth innings.

Hinske shines
in rst action
since surgery
Hawks View offers beautiful challenge
By Sue Hinske
[email protected]
My name is Sue Hinske, and I am
the office manager at the Lake Geneva
Regional News. I started working
at the paper in 1964. I took two and
a half years off when I had my first
child, came back and here I am still.
Something about making deadlines
and different duties each day make
my job enjoyable.
Our sports editor, Mike Ramczyk,
asked me if I would like to join him
for nine holes of golf at the beautiful
Hawks View Golf Club. He wanted
an opponent so he could do a story
about the experience and also the golf
course.
Mike apparently figured if he
played against a female senior citizen
(still mending from extensive upper
spine and neck surgery in March), it
would give him a chance to win the
match and have bragging rights. So
we played but he didnt win. Sorry
Mike, maybe next time.
Mike arrived and we went to the
first tee. The starter asked for the
receipt, which somehow I managed to
lose between the club house and the
first hole.

Ramczyk better
overall, putting game
borderline pathetic
For the last few years, I have been going to
area golf courses and testing my luck with my
sub-par golf game.
Whether it was Grand Geneva, Geneva
National, Nippersink or even Prairie Woods,
former editor Lisa Seiser, current Editor John
Halverson and several area golf pros have joined
me and beaten me most of the time.
While I have
plenty of experi-
ence in football,
baseball and bas-
ketball, golf is
a game I played
a couple times
for fun over the
years. I never
had the passion
or the money,
quite frankly, to
get serious about
it. But as I grow
older, Im now 31,
I continue to learn more about the game.
Our golf series returned July 12 at one of
my all-time favorite courses, Hawks View Golf
Club. I am a bit biased because I got married
there in 2011.
With lush greens and picturesque views of
water and even bunkers, Hawks View is one of
the nicest and most challenging courses in the
area.
With no Seiser around, I tried to teach the
game to Halverson last summer. That was on the
Hawks View par-3. This time around, I reached
out to another co-worker, Sue Hinske, our ofce
manager.
I knew the 67-year-old was coming off spinal
surgery, but I also knew she loves the game and
has a lot of experience. Hinske actually received
doctors clearance to play golf last week.
Since I only tied Seiser once and never actu-
ally beat her, I thought taking on a hobbled
Hinske would be my ticket to victory. I even
played from the ladies tees to make it as fair as
possible.

Zack Ditzenburger was

while striking out ve.

the nal two innings.
Genoa City scored ve
runs in the fth on a two-
run error, a passed ball, an
RBI single by Riley Gentile
and an RBI single by Clint
Ugolini.
Tisch racked up four
RBIs on two hits for Genoa
City. He tripled in the fourth
and singled in the sixth.
Genoa City didnt relin-
quish the lead after scoring
one run in the rst inning
when it scored on an error.
The Red Legs also added
three-run frames in the
fourth and sixth.
Siegler was 3-for-4 for
the game, and Levi Bur-
nette, Gentile, Morland,
Ugolini, Grimsley and Zier-
vogel each added hits.
While Hinske took that as weak, I know
how bad I am and how much advantage I
needed simply to compete.
It was my rst time playing all summer,
and Hawks View is no cake walk. While
most holes are straight and a decent tee
shot puts you in good position, the greens
are brutal. Talk about undulation. Hit it too
strong and youre in the opposite rough.
Tap it too soft and there is no friendly roll.
No. 2 was where I made my rst splash.
On my second shot, I used a 4-wood from
150 yards out and got on the green. I n-
ished with a ve for bogey and had a brief
two-stroke advantage.
But on No. 3, a par-3 where you tee off
roughly 50 feet above the ground and shoot
downhill, Hinske started her comeback.
She sunk a 10-foot putt for par. I earned
my second straight bogey. The wheels will
come off, Hinske joked. But her hot streak
had just begun.
After another par and two double
bogeys, Hinske took a three-stroke lead
through six holes. She drained a 10-foot
putt with the ag in the hole on No. 4. Then,
after a six on No. 5, Hinske recovered for a
bogey on a beautiful par-3 where you had to
hit it over a pond off the tee. Hinske admit-
ted she was on some heavy pain-killers, and
I demanded she be tested for her perfor-
mance-enhancing drugs.
All jokes aside, Hinske was crushing me
and I needed to pick it up.
Hinske lost a ball in the water on No. 7
and claimed she hated the entire hole, but
she still managed an eight to my seven. It
was bunker city, as bunkers not only hinder
your tee shot but also completely surround
the green. It was the most challenging hole
on the front nine.
I told Hinske I was closing the gap, but
she kept her focus. On No. 8, I was on in
three but once again three-putted for a six.
Hinske also managed a six, and she said the
only thing she liked was the scenery.
So it all came down to the last hole. I
was down two strokes, and I thought the
par-5 would work to my advantage.
But lets be honest, I knew I needed
a miracle with my inconsistent shots. I
cranked the ball about 215 yards on my tee
shot, but it was in the wrong direction. I
landed on the tee box of the adjacent hole,
and as I hesitantly walked over to my ball,
I politely asked the two gentlemen who had
just teed off if I almost hit them. Luckily,
they saw nothing.
My second shot had to leap over a line
of trees. Unfortunately, my solid line drive
cracked a tree and died. I talked Hinske into
letting me avoid a penalty stroke. The only
way we wouldve counted the extra shot was
if I beat her. The rest of the hole assured us
that wouldnt be an issue.
Staring into a bright sun, my third shot
was a pop y that landed on the absolute
last strand of grass before a bunker behind
the green.
I slammed the ball out of there, but it
rolled to the opposite rough. My horren-
dous putting left me with an eight. Hinske,
whose best shot is a long ground ball, used
two grounders to close the deal. Her tee shot
rolled and rolled, but it was straight. Then,
on her approach, she scooted a ground ball
a good 50 yards and wound up only 10 feet
from the cup. Hinske two-putted for a six
and nished with a 52 to my 56.
Sadly, it was one of my best scores. A
54 at Lake Lawn Resort is my best nine-
hole score of all time. Overall, my tee shots
were long and fairly straight, and my fair-
way woods were solid, but putting was my
downfall.
Hinske showed signs of why she has
shot in the low 80s on 18 holes. She has a
consistent, straight tee shot despite not
having much power.
Every shot is straight and puts her in
position to have a good hole. While her put-
ting isnt back up to speed yet, she sank sev-
eral putts from 10 or more feet out.
Whether youre a hack like me or an
experienced golfer like Hinske, Hawks
View has it all. The scenery is phenomenal,
and the course is challenging but fun and
manageable at the same time.
With a par-3 course for the kids, there is
something for all ages at Hawks View.
The starter finally told us to proceed
before a large outing started teeing off
before us.
Now Mike is a big man. Probably 6-
foot-3ish and twice my weight. I can
barely claim to be 5-foot-5 any longer
with age and three spine surgeries taking
their toll.
But when I said I was going to play off
the ladies tees, the big brute did the same
so any advantage on my part was lost.
But I will admit playing off the same tees
made the game more fun.
Neither one of us had touched a golf
club since last year. My concern was that I
wouldnt be able to swing the club without
hurting myself and it would have all been
for nothing. But, after a couple of swings
it seemed to be working and the fear sub-
sided. It would be only fair to mention that
my opponents knee started hurting after a
couple of holes, so neither of us were physi-
cally up for the challenge.
We tied the rst hole. Mike got me by
two strokes on No. 2, but then I rallied and
took back-to-back pars, putting me one up
and Mike never caught up. I took several
penalty strokes which didnt help my score.
I am not one for searching for lost balls that
have found water or trenches with weeds
and long grass clippings hiding the ball. My
motto is to take the penalty, drop another
ball and keep play moving. After all, this
was not league play where it really counted
for something.
Leading up to our game, Mike kept tell-
ing me what a bad golfer he was. After a
couple of holes, I referred to him as a sand-
bagger. He could hit the ball a ton and had
some excellent approach shots from about
150 yards. He didnt stray too far off the
course as I thought he might. The other
disadvantage for me was on a couple holes
it took me a tee shot and a fairway shot to
catch up to his drive. Let me again remind
you this big guy was playing off the ladies
tees.
Going into No. 9, our last hole, I was
winning by two strokes. He hit a long drive
that put him next to another tee box some-
where out there. He then proceeded to put
his second shot into the trunk of a tree and
when I told him he had to take a penalty
stroke for taking a drop, he started whin-
ing like a school girl on a bad hair day. So
I broke down and told him he only had to
count the penalty if we tied the match but
no worries. I took a six and he took an eight
without counting the extra stroke. I win, I
win.
We had a little waiting time after letting
a four-some through, so Mike was teaching
me how to use the camera so I could cap-
ture a photo of him taking a golf swing. The
camera weighed about as much as a bowling
ball, had a huge dial to focus and a shutter
button that was a little too sensitive for my
liking. I could barely hold the darn thing to
my face, let alone focus and click. I want a
tripod next time.
I thought Mike was listening to cell
phone messages a lot or maybe asking his
lovely wife what was for dinner, then I
found out he was tweeting or twittering or
whatever it is people do on cell phones and
computers. I am just learning how to sign
into Facebook.
I ran into another co-worker after the
game, and he already knew how the game
had gone. What, really?
Summing up our round at Hawks View,
I would say the weather was absolutely per-
fect. Sunny, low- to mid-80s, low humidity
and gentle breezes.
Thank you to our sports editor for invit-
ing me to play, and I am ready for another
match. If the time comes when Mike can
dedicate more time to the game of golf, it
is my opinion that he will become a good
competitive golfer. He is not nearly as bad a
player as he claims to be.
Love of the game
I golfed for the rst time in my late
twenties and loved it. I walked the full 18
holes and counted every stroke. It took me
a lot of golf before being brave enough to
join a league. I played at George Williams
Golf Course for a couple of years until get-
ting good enough for other larger courses. I
was a member at Hillmoor for many years
until the course closed. My goal was to
break into the 70s but that never happened.
To the best of my recollection, 81 was my
lowest all-time score at Hillmoor. However,
I do have my fair share of trophies, prizes,
memories and was lucky enough to have
two holes-in-one at Hillmoor, the 143-yard
No. 17 and the 96-yard No. 6.
I ran the Thursday Morning 18-Hole
Ladies League for a number of years. Also,
I ran the Monday Night 9-Hole League
until we merged with the Wednesday
Night League. I think I ran that for only
one season. I also helped run the Couples
Friday Night League and also the Junior
Golf League, which my youngest daughter
was a part of for several years.
I still golf and go on golf outings with
gal pals. Golf has been an important part
of my life. I made so many friends along the
way.

Dear W.C.,
I am worried about my
children. I work full-time at a
low wage job.
My wage does not cover all
my rent, utilities, child care,
gas and food.
My ex-husband is three
months behind in his child
support. This has made it
impossible for me to provide
for my children with just my
paycheck.
I have fallen behind in both our rent and utilities.
Why do so many men start a family, bring children into the
world, and then feel they can just walk away with no obligation
to provide for them?
Could you please help my children and me?
Dear readers,
I went to visit this desperate mother and children.
Once the mother was certain of my identity, I was invited
into the small apartment.
The two children were shy about company but their curios-
ity soon took over. The mother introduced me to the children.
After a brief conversation with the whole family and lots of
questions, the mother set them up at the table to play with clay
while we talked in the living room. I noticed she kept a watch-
ful eye on them. Good parents are attentive to their childrens
needs.
We got right to work going over her budget and nancial
situation. The mother worked full time, yet was paid a very low
wage.
She denitely fell into the category of the working poor. Her
hard work was not compensated by a fair wage or benets.
By the time she paid for child care, food and gas for the car
she did not have enough for all her rent and utilities.
The mother had no problem keeping up with her expenses
when her ex-husband was paying child support.
Since he had stopped paying over the last
three months she had fallen farther and far-
ther in debt. I asked if she knew where he was
at this time and she said she did. I asked the
mother if her ex-husband was working.
She said, He has been at the same job for
years but he may be laid off or changed jobs
without notifying child support. His problem
is he likes to impress women. Whenever he
has a new one or two women in his life he will
buy them expensive gifts and take them out on the town.
I was surprised by the comment about two women but
not by his selshness causing his children to endure nancial
hardship. She looked very uncomfortable and had tears in her
eyes talking about her ex-husbands bad habits.
She told me her ex-sister-in-law was still close to her and
the children. The sister-in-law would tell her about her ex-hus-
bands affairs.
I asked the mother if she had gone to the child support
agency to enforce his child support.
She said she had not, due to the ex-husband having threat-
ened her in the past. She also spoke about an incident where
the ex-husband had even choked her to the point of nearly
fainting.
After getting the mother to share with me some additional
information on the ex-husband, I told her I would be back as
soon as I could. She told me her ex-sister-in-law said her ex-
husband was living dual lives with two different women. The
ex-sister-in-law even had the addresses.
I went to one of the two addresses where
the ex-husband lived with two different
women, according to the ex-sister-in-law.
At the rst address the door was answered
by a woman but the ex-husband was not there.
I informed the woman that the ex-husbands
children were having nancial hardship, and
it was imperative that he contact me.
I could smell alcohol on the womans
breath and could tell she was nearly drunk,
but sober enough to ask, What children? Are you telling me
he has kids? I said, Yes, and if hes not here he may be at his
other address.
Of course, this set her off, yelling, What other address?
I held the piece of paper up that was given to me and read off
the address.
On July 4, I crossed the
nish line of my rst 5K race
in two years.
It was an exhilarat-
ing rush. All adrenaline, all
smiles, all sweat.
On July 9, I celebrated a
one-year anniversary with the
Regional News.
Passing this milestone
with the Regional News was
an exhilarating rush, too.
Ive always been a sucker
for milestones, for keeping time, for celebrat-
ing segments of life.
I love birthdays, anniversaries, saint days
and holidays.
Its the same idea that made me sign up
for a 5K after not racing for so long. Passing
the nish line is another reason to celebrate.
The celebrating is part of the preparation
for the next race, a
four-mile run coming
up in a month.
I celebrate
because I know the
next four weeks will be tough,
adding an extra mile to my
training while speeding up
my pace.
Last Thursdays run was
about the challenge.
This past year was a chal-
lenge, too, the kind of chal-
lenge that makes a person
stronger, that turns a person
into who shes really sup-
posed to be.
This reporter wont be
sliding through life avoiding challenges.
No, this past year at the Regional News
has taught me a person cant survive without
testing the waters.
As the anniversary approached, I decided
to nd other challenges to overcome and cel-
ebrate.
I took a boat tour of the lake.
This is only daring
for someone who
cant swim, myself
included.
While I was on
the boat, looking at houses and kids on
inner tubes, I thought about not being able
to swim.
I dont even know why I cant swim, why
Im afraid to go in the water.
So, after working
up some courage, I
bought a swimsuit.
This was daring
in itself.
Then, I went to
the lake, Geneva
Lake, the lake that
draws you in like a
magnet.
I jumped right in before I could lose all
this anniversary courage.
Im reporting now that I did not die, but
the part of me that attested I couldnt swim
did.
I tried some of the moves I remembered
from watching Olympic swimming on TV.
They didnt work for me.
While I cant swim in the traditional
sense of the word, I do not drown immedi-
ately upon entering the water.
I just ail around.
It was way too early on a Saturday morn-
ing for anyone else to be on that stretch of
shoreline. No one was there to judge me but
myself.
While I did not
fall in love with swim-
ming, I did fall in love
with being in, on and
near the water. Its so
good, yet so simple.
Being in the lake
is a celebration itself.
In July 2012, I
wrote that I was content with my life after
starting at the Regional News.
That is still true, but after a year with
this paper, I need to make sure contentment
doesnt become complacency.
I may not be seen on a Jet Ski anytime
soon, but I do plan to try new, daring things
as often as I can.

AMERICA WAS IN FULL-BLOOM July 4th. Not only did
we have the annual July 4th parade sponsored by the
American Legion Auxiliary but there were a variety of
other slices of Americana that showed we havent lost
that small town spirit. Do other countries have Kool-Aid
stands? I dont know. Im just happy we still do. At the
stand are Miuccia DeBello-Recigno and Chloe Haegele.
John Halverson, editor
This past year was a challenge,
too, the kind of challenge that
makes a person stronger, that
turns a person into who shes
really supposed to be.
Normally, I do not get
involved but when a
woman is choked and
the children are left to
suffer, I cannot stand by
and ignore the situation.
Ive always been a sucker for
milestones, for keeping time, for
celebrating segments of life.

COMMUNITY & COMMENTARY
We all feared
what might
happen next
To the Editor:
I graduated from Badger High School
in June of 1961. The summers of 1961 and
1962 I worked at Carol Martins restau-
rant, which is now Speedos (Harborside
Cafe), my rst job as a waitress. While
working there, the rst riot happened in
Lake Geneva. It was very scary to a young
graduate and I was unable to go home after
work, because of the massive crowds. They
were very out of control and intimidating
people. They were outside the restaurant,
standing next to the window, and we all
feared for what might happen next.
My parents eventually showed up at
the restaurant with the minister from
the Episcopal Church, and with his help,
escorted me to the other end of town
where my home was. It was the rst time
our beautiful city was overrun with such
a mob. I remember the National Guard
in later years closing the roads into Lake
Geneva and that caused more stress as to
what was going to happen in our commu-
nity.
The destruction of the Andy Gump
statue was deeply sorrowful for me, as he
had stood in Flat Iron Park my entire life
as I grew up in Lake Geneva. This destruc-
tion of our city and the surrounding cities
of Geneva Lake was appalling at the time
it happened.
Thank you for your article of these
riots on July 4 that was in the paper. It
was very interesting and there were many
things mentioned that I did not know
about until I read it.

Everyone held their breath
when the next July 4 neared
Headed to the
hospital for C-
section
To the Editor:
The front page of the July 4 issue was a real
reminder for me. I called the police to make
sure my husband and I could get through
town on the 3rd since I was on my way to go
to the hospital in Rockford, Ill. I was to have
a C-section on the early morning of July 3 for
the birth or our child who happened to be a
boy. I will never forget that Dummers Hill
was blocked. There were National Guard on
top of the roofs downtown, and the streets
were quiet. We went by the lake and out 120
toward the Illinois border. Yes, we lived on
Linda Lane in Sturwood and things were
exciting. Thanks for writing the article.
Sincerely,
Doris Roan
Lake Geneva
Alley full
of National
Guard
To the Editor:
I was working at the Lake Geneva
Regional News at 315 Broad St. where I
am still employed. I drove from Pell Lake
to the Dairy Queen on Wells Street where
I parked my car and walked the rest of
the way to the Regional News. I dont
remember what day it was or if I did it
more than one day but it was leading up
to the 4th of July.
At noon I began walking to the post
office and Olympic Restaurant on Main
Street to get a sandwich. The streets, side-
walks, hoods, roofs and trunks of cars
loaded with mostly college age students.
As I was walking past the alley in the 200
block of Broad St. I caught something out
of the corner of my eye. Turned to look
into the alley and it was full of National
Guard. It took me by surprise and I think
I jumped out of fear or just the surprise
of it. After all they were there for our pro-
tection and they had their weapons for all
to see.
Rumor had it, that signs were every-
where in some of the popular spring
break vacation spots in Florida. Ft. Lau-
derdale Beach was one of those places.
Supposedly, signs were along roads
from Florida to Wisconsin telling people
to be in Lake Geneva for the 4th of July
holiday.
When I wanted to travel from Pell
Lake to Lake Como to visit my parents
in the evenings, I had to take routes that
avoided Lake Geneva because of closed
streets entering the city.

Readers recall July 4, 1967 riot
To the Editor:
I just got the Lake Geneva paper and read
your recounting of the riots that took place in
1967. Boy, that brought up some old memo-
ries.
Actually on July 4th Lake Geneva became
the go-to place for college-aged kids as early
as 1961. I was between my junior and senior
years at Badger that summer and working as
a telephone operator at the telephone com-
pany on Main Street. My parents picked me
up from work on the night of July 3rd and
told me I was coming home and not going
out again. I couldnt understand why I had
to dump my plans with my friends. They told
me a bunch of college kids had decided to
come to Lake Geneva for the holiday and had
taken over lower Broad Street.
As we drove through the Main and Broad
intersection, I saw road-closed barricades
lined up across Broad Street and a line of
cops standing there. Nothing much was going
on just a bunch of kids milling about. My
mom said something about it being terrible
the way they took over the town. I guess I got
her blood pressure up when I said, It looks
like theyre having fun. I think I said it just
to say it more than anything. I did get a rise
out of her.
Every Fourth of July after that, the
crowds grew, but there were no riots. The
rst summer after Id been away at college
for a year, I did head downtown and join the
crowd because so many kids I knew from
school were there. All we did was walk up one
side of Broad Street and down the other side
since none of my friends were old enough to
get into a bar. The drinking age at that time
was 21 within the city limits, but a lot of the
bars actually raised the age limit a couple
more degrees to hopefully keep those with
false IDs from getting in.
With each subsequent year, the crowds
grew even more, and I stayed away. And,
as you reported, in 1966 they started doing
property damage. Over the Fourth of 1967
my parents and I were in LaCrosse attending
my roommates wedding and heard nothing
about the riots until we came back to Lake
Geneva the following day. I remember hear-
ing about Andy Gump being torn down and all
the damage the rioters had caused. We all felt
violated for what they had done to our town. I
was so glad we werent home and grateful the
mob never made it into the neighborhoods to
do damage there too.
It was very strange the next year when the
Fourth rolled around. We all held our collec-
tive breaths and, like you wrote, nothing hap-
pened. And, thank the Lord, nothing like that
ever happened again. In all the years we were
invaded every Fourth of July, I never saw it
as related to protesting the war or anything
like that. Just a bunch of kids gone wild. Per-
haps I was a bit naive about that part of the
deal. I have a feeling that most of them today
probably do look back on that time and have
regrets. At least I hope so!

To the Editor:
I would like to thank the

ment for nding my neigh-
bor and good friend Eliga
Roach.
He went missing
recently for several hours
and the Havenwood Apart-

worst.
I am glad that Eliga is
now safe and healthy. He is
truly a wonderful person.

COMMUNITY & COMMENTARY
Time Is Now/Legal and moral obligation to pay child support
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D
Slow paced, predicable plot, no surprise ending, but interesting none-the-less
Good reading for government buffs
I will try my best to
temper my enthusiasm.
The last time I wrote
about the countys Jour-
nal of Proceedings book I
remarked that I looked for-
ward to its annual release
as if it were the latest Dan
Brown thriller.
A few weeks later, during
a question and answer ses-
sion following a presenta-
tion I made, an audience
member told me that if I really felt that
way I should get a life.
That person was probably right, but
the book contains so much information
that I cant help but nd it interesting.
The Journal is an indexed compila-
tion of a years worth of Walworth County
Board meetings.
It fullls two separate statutory direc-
tives that require the county clerk to
record at length, in a book every resolu-
tion adopted, order passed and ordinance
enacted and to keep and record in a book
true minutes of all of the proceedings of
the board.
Rather than capturing a calendar year,
the Journal follows a county board year,
which starts in April at its organizational
meeting.
This years 2012 Journal, therefore,
also includes the rst three months of
2013.
Our clerk, Kim Bushey, compiled the
latest book in record time, releasing it
shortly after the Board completed its
March meeting.
The Journal is interesting to me at two
levels.
First, it provides a historical record of
County Board activities.
Clerks have been keeping these books
for a long time. I have a duplicate copy
from 1903 in my ofce, but much older
editions are kept in the
Clerks vault.
Aside from learning
some interesting history,
however, the journals pro-
vide insight into changes in
the county boards workload
over time.
Of particular inter-
est to me is how signicant
amendments to the boards
operating rules, made a
decade ago, have impacted
the decision-making process.
Two measures, contained in the jour-
nals, provide a sense of how the board
is accomplishing its work; these include
communications and ordinances.
The term communications refers
to a portion of the boards agenda that is
reserved for letters and correspondence
from the public,
County staff and even Board Supervi-
sors that provide information to the board
or urge a particular course of action.
The number of communications pro-
cessed by the Board rose dramatically fol-
lowing a 2002 amendment to the countys
operating rules.
That change encouraged the use of
such letters as a way for supervisors and
citizens to bring their ideas to the board.
Rather than just complaining about
issues but never taking action on them,
Supervisors and the public can commit
their views to writing and submit them to
the board.
These letters
are distributed to
each supervisor and
placed on the boards
monthly agenda.
The board, in
turn, typically refers the communications
to one of its standing committees.
If the idea has merit, the communica-
tion will be returned to the board in the
form of a proposed ordinance or resolu-
tion.
Prior to the rule change, during the
period of 1994 to 1996, for example, the
Board was presented with an average of
just 18 items of correspondence per year.
In 2012, this gure had increased to
115.
Prior to looking at this years Journal,
I would have sworn that the number of
communications received by the Board
has been increasing each year.
In reality, 10 years after the rule
change, the numbers appear to be fairly
stable.
Supervisors were presented with 160
communications in 2010 and 148 in 2011.
A second trend, illustrated by the jour-
nals, is how the board governs the county,
through the adoption of resolutions and
ordinances.
In general, resolutions resolve issues
on a case-by-case basis.
Ordinances are of a more permanent
nature and seek to deal with problems by
establishing uniform guidelines by which
staff, committees or the whole board may
make decisions.
For many years, the countys ordi-
nances were not codied, that is, col-
lected in a single book.
Given the lack of emphasis on a code
book, it isnt surprising that the board
adopted few ordinances.
Instead, resolutions were enacted to
deal with issues on a case-by-case basis
or committees and
managers simply
made decisions
without guidance
from the board.
It wasnt until
1998 that a formal code book was main-
tained.
In the three years immediately pre-
ceding codication, from 1994 to 1997,
Supervisors adopted just 30 non-zoning
ordinances.
In 2012, alone, the Board considered
45 of them.
As was the case with items of cor-
respondence, the number of ordinances
considered by the board, on an annual
basis, appears to have stabilized.
Supervisors processed 55 and 53 ordi-
nances in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Aside from generating some interest-
ing trivia, there is a point to all of this
number-crunching; ordinances and com-
munications present opportunities for
elected leaders to make decisions.
When the boards workload, as
reected by these two measures, was rel-
atively low, it didnt mean that decisions
werent being made; it simply meant that
decisions were being made by others, most
often by staff.
There is nothing wrong with allowing
managers to manage their operations.
Not all oversight by elected leaders,
however, is micromanagement.
Supervisors serve an important func-
tion when they establish policy and bring
forward new ideas and constituent con-
cerns.
As measured by ordinances and com-
munications, the county board expanded
its role, a decade ago, and continues to
sustain this increased level of oversight.
We will have to wait for the 2013 Jour-
nal of Proceedings to see whether this
trend continues.
At the risk of being told to get a life,
I will admit that I can hardly wait until it
is released.

The opinions expressed in this column
are those of the author and not necessar-
ily those of the Walworth County Board
of Supervisors.
Normally, I do not get
involved but when a woman
is choked and the children
are left to suffer, I cannot
stand by and ignore the situ-
ation.
I arrived at the second
address and this time I was
in luck.
The second woman
answered and yelled into the
apartment to the ex-husband,
telling him he had a visitor.
When he came to the
door I told him who I was. I
told him his children were
having a hard time since he
stopped paying his child sup-
port.
The second woman
was listening in disbelief.
Before he could even react I
informed him I knew where
he was now working.
I reminded him of his
legal and moral obligation
to pay child support and
informed him I was aware
of his psychological threats
and physical attacks made
against his wife. I showed
him some photos, several in
fact of myself and The Time
Is Now to Help supporters.
I told him he had to catch
up on his child support, his
wife was ling a complaint
with authorities and I was
going to stand by his children.
By then the rst woman I vis-
ited pulled up with another
person driving her.
I could see the torment
on the exs face. I asked him if
he was going to live up to his
commitment to his children.
He sheepishly said, Yes,
I will.
I reminded him that I
would be following up and
making sure he fullled his
commitment. With that I
left him to the mess he had
created for himself with his
selsh lifestyle and abandon-
ment of his children.
The next day I met with
the mother. She said her ex-
husband had stopped by and
given her a check for the three
months of child support in
arrears.
She said, My ex-husband
said he had met you. What
happened?
I told her, I informed
him of his neglect of the chil-
dren and the authorities are
going to be informed of his
threats to you.
She looked relieved and
actually smiled when she
said, Thank you.
With relief of poverty
the mother and children will
continue to have a place to
call home.
Health and happiness,
God bless everyone,

Reasonable doubt
won the day
By Beth Kassab
Orlando Sentinel
Like it or not, the jury
got this one right. Nobody
wants to see two parents
who already lost their
teenage son also lose out
on what they saw as jus-
tice. As painful as it may
be, though, acquitting
George Zimmerman was
the only verdict the jury
could logically reach. The
state simply didnt prove
second-degree murder. Or
manslaughter. As much
as I dont like many of the
choices Zimmerman made
the night he killed Trayvon
Martin, the evidence pre-
sented at trial gave way to
more than one reasonable
doubt about Zimmermans
guilt.
Florida likes dogs
better than blacks
By Craig Pittman
Slate
Florida juries have
proven to be very lenient
even in cases that dont
involve Stand Your
Ground. Two years ago,
as you probably heard, a
Florida jury found Casey
Anthony not guilty of
murdering her daughter.
Two months ago, a Florida
jury acquitted 70-year-
old Ralph Wald of murder
for gunning down his 41-
year-old wifes 32-year-old
lover, whom Wald caught
with his pants around his
knees. In 2007, despite
seeing a videotape of
seven guards kicking and
beating a 14-year-old boy
named Martin Lee Ander-
son to death at a juvenile
boot camp, an all-white
jury acquitted them and a
nurse whod failed to stop
the killing of manslaugh-
ter charges. The guards
and nurse said they were
just following normal boot
camp rules and proce-
dures.
Afterward, the familys
attorney told reporters,
You kill a dog, you go to
jail you kill a little black
boy and nothing happens.
Shooting based on
proling
By USA Today
Zimmermans success-
ful defense depended on
getting jurors to focus on
the ght that occurred just
before he shot the 17-year-
old, unarmed Martin, and
not on the events that pre-
ceded it. The lawyers estab-
lished doubt about which
man screamed for help, as
well as other details of the
confrontation holes that
invited an acquittal under
Floridas laws.
But the fact remains
that Zimmerman, a neigh-
borhood watch volun-
teer and cop wanna-be,
instantly identied Martin
as a (expletive) punk who
looks like hes up to no
good. The fact remains
that Martin was doing
nothing wrong; he was
returning from a snack
run at a convenience store,
heading for the house of
his fathers girlfriend. And
the fact remains that had
Zimmerman stayed in his
truck, as advised by the
police, Martin would be
alive today.
He should have
never been charged
By John Lott
Fox News
The George Zimmer-
man case should never have
been brought. Saturday
night after the not guilty
verdict was delivered, State
Attorney Angela Corey jus-
tied bringing the case to
put the facts out there.
But criminal cases should
never be brought simply
to put the facts before
the public. No one should
be charged with a crime
unless prosecutors them-
selves really believe that
the person committed a
crime. Yet, the prosecution
and their own experts lan-
guage consistently showed
a lack of certainty.
Lets look at the
facts
By Cathy Young
Newsweek
George Zimmermans
acquittal on criminal
charges in the fatal shoot-
ing of Trayvon Martin
has sparked anguish and
outrage across America.
These passions stem from
a starkly racial view of the
incident: a light-skinned
man singles out a black
teenager as suspicious,
stalks him with a gun, pro-
vokes a confrontation, and
gets away with murder.
But, as with any criminal
case that comes to dra-
matize larger controver-
sies, the symbolic narra-
tive often overshadows the
actual facts.
While Zimmerman, a
neighborhood watch leader,
had called police 44 times
over eight years before the
night of the shooting, only
four calls were about pos-
sibly suspicious people
identied as black, and at
least three about whites.
The assumption that Zim-
merman targeted Martin
for racial reasons was
common from the start,
partly due to misleading
media reports ... in which
Zimmerman appears to
stress that the possibly
suspicious person is black
but he was responding
to the dispatchers ques-
tion about the individuals
race.
None of this negates the
possibility that Zimmer-
mans suspicions toward
Martin, were partly race-
based consciously or
not.
Racism is hardly dead;
Internet discussions of this
indisputably tragic story
have been plagued by vile
racist comments directed
at the dead teenager. But
the rush to declare Zim-
merman guilty of both
murder and racism,
regardless of facts, is also
a form of racism and
injustice.

As an easy to eat, portable, neat and delicious food
item always an easy choice cookies come in endless
variety. They go well with a cup of coffee, tea or hot choco-
late, beside a dish of ice cream, warm and chewy out of the
oven or cool and crisp with a glass of cold milk. Old favor-
ites will always be around and here are a few others to try
they may become old favorites.
Chocolate Drop Cookies come from a cookbook pub-
lished by a church in 1950 and are just as delicious now as
they were then. Three ounces of baking chocolate, or three
squares, with sour milk assure richness and avor. They
go together quickly and can have nuts added to them, if
desired.
A cookie becomes a special treat when Dipped Short-
bread is served. The soft, rich dough is formed into balls
before baking. When cooled, each cookie has the top or one
edge dipped into a chocolate mixture, then into chopped
nuts. The recipe makes six dozen.
Gum Drop Cookies actually include cut up gum drops.
Brown sugar, eggs, our and salt are the remaining ingre-
dients. The cookies bake in a pan and are cut when n-
ished, then each one is rolled in powdered sugar.
The convenience of this recipe makes Butterscotch Ice
Box Cookies popular. The dough can be double wrapped
and frozen or stored in the refrigerator until needed and
baked a little at a time, if desired. These cookies, rich with
brown sugar and chopped nuts, became popular when ice
boxes came into use, preceding the modern refrigerator.
