BROOKWOOD STUDENT MADISON HUNT pours a pollutant into the habitat of a toy sh. At George Williams College
May 3, the students learned about protecting the lake. Students took turns introducing hazardous chemicals into a small
habitat. As Hunt poured in the liquid, her peers, from left, Hope Ayres-Schulz, John Lininger and Ryan Korper watch.
Area students learn
about protecting lake

WILLIAMS BAY As a toy sh oated in a clean bowl,
middle school students from Brookwood Elementary
School dumped everything from salt to candy wrappers to
mysterious liquids into the toys habitat.
Before the students dropped the junk into the water,
their peers jokingly urged them to refrain from polluting
the environment.
You are going to kill him, they said.
The exercise was part of a lesson on lake pollution and
how items discarded within the watershed affects Geneva
Lake and, in turn, sh.
During the lesson, Tara Carriker, a graduate student at
George Williams College, read a script, which started with
the sh living in a clean environment.
However, foreign objects, such as road salt and lawn
fertilizers, were introduced and the students watched as
the clear water turned murky, started lling with garbage
and even had splotches of red (a part of Carrikers script
included a family dumping a mysterious liquid with a
skull-and-crossbones warning into a storm drain).
Chris Wells, the chair of the parks and recreation pro-
gram at George Williams College, said his undergraduate
and graduate students were teaching lessons about pollu-
tion and the environment to fourth and sixth grade stu-
dents throughout the area.
Dimiceli award echoes universitys beginnings
Givers unite at George Williams commencement
By John Halverson
jhalverson@lakegenevanews.net
WILLIAMS BAY As is often the case with Sal Dimi-
celi, he was a reluctant hero.
He was originally skeptical of the offer by George Wil-
liams College to bestow upon him an honorary degree.
As he said back in the days when he was an anonymous
philanthropist, he wants to be humble in Gods eyes.
While his humbleness is legit, his days of anonymity
have long since passed.
Dimiceli, the founder, CEO and chief hands-on fund-
raiser of Time is Now to Help, has gained celebrity status,
especially since he was named a CNN hero two years ago.
Dimicelis reluctance to accept the honorary degree
citation from George Williams evaporated as he learned
more and more about the college and its mission.
And so it was, that on a cloudy morning last Saturday,
Dimiceli, a Lake Geneva real estate agent, sat across from
George Williams President Rebecca Sherrick and Senior
Vice President John Pyle, discussing the links between the
school and its honoree.
They were at a preceremony breakfast, but it had more
to do with a meeting of the minds than breaking of bread.
Sherrick outlined the schools history which is deeply
imbedded in the YMCA movement of the 19th century as
Dimiceli gave his background as an impoverished child
who promised God hed help others if God would only help
his mother make ends meet.
We are born not for ourselves, but for the whole
world, was the motto declared by the George Williams
Class of 1913.
And that motto perfectly dovetails with Dimicelis own
mission.
As Sherrick and Dimiceli chatted, the nal arrange-
ments were being made for the annual commencement.
Rain or shine, the ceremony would go on under the cov-
ered pavilion nearby.
Abutting Geneva Lake, it is a tting site for such an
occasion. It was on the same shores in 1884 that leaders
of the YMCA gathered for a retreat. Two years later, the
rst parcel of the current Williams Bay campus was pur-
chased.

Members of the condominium owners board of direc-
tors at Bella Vista Suites and the owner of the commercial
space in the hotel deny accusations that they have mis-
applied or misued hotel funds and claim they have con-
ducted board business openly and with the consent of the
condominium owners.
In March, several members of the Bella Vista Suites on
the Shores of Lake Geneva hotel condominium associa-
tion took their board of directors and several current and
former board members to court, accusing them of fraud,
misapplication of funds and breach of duciary duty.
Attorney Randall Leece of Elkhorn, representing
Bella Vistas board and former commercial unit owner
Luke Castrogiovanni, replied that those accusations are
false and harmful to the hotel.
Leece led his response in Walworth County Circuit
Court on April 26.
In an afrmative defense, Leeces claims that all
condominium owners at Bella Vista were notied of all
actions taken by the board of directors of the condomin-
ium association.
The reply afrms that Bella Vista bought the commer-
cial unit from Castrogiovanni for less than its appraised
value and that the purchase was necessary to the contin-
ued success of the hotel.
Leece also claims that the plaintiffs who led the law-
suit are not representative of the members of the Bella
Vista Suites unit owners and that the lawsuit is not in
the best interest of the hotel and its unit owners.
Leece further states that the members of the Bella
Vista Suites unit owners board of directors have at all
times acted in good faith and within their duciary obli-
gations to the unit owners of the Bella Vista Suites.
The 39-room hotel is at 327 Wrigley Dr., Lake
Geneva,
In February 2010, the Bella Vista Suites condominium
associations board of directors bought the hotels 5,000-
square-foot commercial unit from Castrogiovanni, a
former president of the board of directors.
The commercial unit contains a bar and banquet room
and ve smaller rooms.

Wisconsins Best Jerky!
By Chris Schultz
The city council, the re department and
the Lake Geneva Regional News are in com-
plicity with an alleged misleading campaign
pamphlet distributed by Alderman Dennis
Lyon in the spring election, according to
Richard Malmin, N1991 S. Lakeshore Drive.
Malmin made his statement at the public
comment period during the Lake Geneva
City Councils Committee of the Whole
meeting on Monday.
Lyon and former city council members
Mary Jo Fesenmaier and Ken Howell all ran
write-in campaigns in the citys District 4
city council race because no one came for-
ward to run on the ballot.
Fesenmaier went door-to-door.
Lyon relied on the mass mailing of a
campaign ier to District 4 voters because,
as he admitted, he was vacationing in Mexico
during most of the campaign season.
In a post-election interview, Lyon told
the Lake Geneva Regional News he was
surprised that he was able to win the elec-
tion with his homemade brochure. The
brochure was mailed out through the U.S.
Postal Services Every Door Direct delivery
program. He said he sent out 1,100 iers on
two of USPSs Every Door Direct routes that
covered most of District 4. Some of the iers
did go to voters outside the district, but, said
Lyon, he had to work with what was avail-
able.
Obviously, it worked, Lyon said, refer-
ring to the Every Door Direct delivery.
Malmin and former alderman Terry
ONeill, however, charge that something else
may have worked to get Lyon elected.
In a complaint led rst with the Wal-
worth County District Attorneys Ofce and
then the Lake Geneva police, Malmin and
ONeill claim that Lyons brochure makes it
look like the Lake Geneva Fire Department
endorsed his candidacy.
Malmin initiated the complaint, but does
not live in the city. The DAs ofce suggested
that a city resident from District 4 should
also sign the complaint. ONeill then signed
the complaint.
Lake Geneva Fire Department appears
on the ier three times, including right under
Please Vote.
Lyon says it was intended to remind
voters in District 4 that they vote at the Lake
Geneva Fire Departments main station, 730
Marshall St.
And why would Lyon need to repeatedly
reference the re department a total of three
times in this mailer, but only identify it once
as the voting location? Are we all that stupid
or isnt he really and not so subtly, cuing
the voters with a wink-wink, nod-nod that
he does indeed have the re department
endorsement without the bother of saying
endorsement? Malmin said to the council.
The police investigation is completed
and the results were turned over to the DAs
ofce. The DAs ofce has not yet decided on
the complaint from Malmin and ONeill.
Fire Chief Brent Connelly has said that
the re department does not endorse candi-
dates.
Malmin claims it does through the Lake
Geneva Fireghters Association, a union
that represents all nonofcer reghters in
the department.
He pointed out that the association
endorsed former Mayor Bill Chesen in
2008.
Malmin then accused the Regional News
of concurring with the sham and deception
in 2008 just as it does today maintaining
their covenant of complicity with the cabal
that really runs this city.
He suggested the newspapers masthead
motto should read: Hear no Evil, See no
Evil and Write no Evil.
He credited the Geneva Shore Report,
a publication written and distributed by
James Strauss, to be the community voice
and watchdog.
He accused the city leadership of
rewarding political chicanery and deceit
with important commission assignments,
apparently referring to Lyons appointment
to the citys police and re commission.
Malmin accused the city of being run
from behind closed doors.
This is certainly not the open, transpar-
ent government promised by Jim Connors
when he originally ran for mayor, Malmin
said.
Malmin accuses re department, council and newspaper of complicity
Is city government transparent?

NEWS ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT
May 9, 2013 The Regional News 3A
By Chris Schultz
Big Foot Beach State Park will be an
experimental battleground in Wisconsins
ght against the emerald ash borer, or
EAB.
And this time, the state Department
of Natural Resources is bringing in some
overseas allies to help its ght against the
voracious, ash-eating beetle.
Bill McNee, DNR forest health special-
ist, said two north Asian ying insects with
the impressive names of Oobies Agrili and
Tretristichus Planipennisi will be released
into the state park in an effort to blunt
EABs assault on native species of ash. The
two insects, species of stingless wasps, are
from China.
The wasps will be released in the park
sometime between June and August,
McNee said.
Adults of both species are about a mil-
limeter long and dont at all resemble their
larger, North American stinging cousins.
Both Oobies and Tetrastichus have been
through eld studies in Michigan, which
has been hard-hit by EAB.
According to the Michigan Tech Maga-
zine, when the Tetrastichus were released
from a jar onto an EAB-infested tree:
What ies out is nothing like a swarm of
wasps. In fact, the tiny parasites are almost
too small to see.
Both wasps target EAB almost exclu-
sively, although a few native ash bark
borers might also nd themselves on the
menu, McNee said.
Up close, though, they look pretty fero-
cious. And what they do to EAB eggs and
larvae can only be described as something
out of a science ction horror story.
Oobies injects its eggs into EAB eggs.
The Oobies larvae hatch rst and feast on
the EAB eggs before growing into adults.
Tetristichus injects a paralyzing poison
into EAB larvae and then lays eggs on the
paralyzed bug.
The eggs hatch and larvae burrow into
the paralyzed EAB larvae and devour it
from the inside out.
Tactics aside, however, the DNR hopes
its two new allies will slow the spread of
the emerald pests and give both ash and
humans time to nd more effective ways to
end EABs arboreal reign of terror.
McNee said he expects the wasps com-
bined appetites will be 20- to 50-percent
effective in controlling the emerald ash
borer population.
Its not a magic bullet that will solve
the problem, McNee said.
Helping the two new predators are some
native stingless wasps that, according to
the University of Michigan, are acquiring
a taste for EAB.
McNee said he suspects those native-
born wasps have been feeding on the EAB
here, but their effect has been minimal,
because the native wasps still tend to con-
centrate on native bark-boring bugs.
Although the rst hard evidence of
EAB infestation wasnt detected in Wal-
worth County until last year, McNee said
he believes the beetle arrived in the area a
year or two before it was discovered, feed-
ing and multiplying hidden from human
eyes under ash tree bark.
EAB is a very stealthy pest, and it takes
a year or two before infected ash trees
show any sign of infestation, McNee said.
We have a living thing that burrows under
bark for 10 months of the year, he said of
EAB.
McNee estimated that 30 to 40 per-
cent of the ash in the Lake Geneva area are
in decline, with virtually all of the trees
infested to varying degrees.
Theyve been here for some time, he
said.
One of the rst creatures to notice the
infestation are woodpeckers.
The number of woodpecker feeding
holes is a sure sign of the level of infesta-
tion, he said. For the woodpeckers, an
EAB-infested ash is a smorgasbord.
Unfortunately for the tree, the avians
interest in the ash borers comes too little,
too late.
Once trees are heavily woodpeckered,
they dont have much time left, McNee
said.
McNees said the trees in Big Foot Beach
State Park were cut down because they
were diseased. And that posed a danger
to humans. Not from EAB, but from EAB-
weakened ash tree limbs.
When ashes go into decline, branches
drop quickly, McNee said.
Removal of the ash around the picnic
areas and by the beach were necessary
to prevent falling branches from injuring
park visitors, McNee said.
Some of the ash at Big Foot still stand,
waiting for the experimental release of
Asiatic wasps.
But they are in swampy areas and
marshland, where interactions between
humans and falling branches should be a
rare occurrence, McNee said.
If a tree dies and drops a few branches
in a swamp, theres little to no risk, McNee
said.
The DNR plans to replace the ash with
mixed species trees, so no future, unex-
pected infestation will wipe entire areas
clear of tree cover.
McNee said hes unaware of any cost
estimate done on the loss of trees to the
EAB at Big Foot.
A census of trees cut down was also
unavailable at the time.
The DNR is not only taking down
infested trees in Big Foot, it is also remov-
ing infested trees in other state parks as
well.
The economics of an open wooded lot,
like a state park, doesnt really allow for
saving trees, he said.
However, many ash trees on land-
scaped state properties are being treated.
And parks may also make the effort to save
some ornamental ashes, he said.
McNee also said municipalities should
consider trying to save what urban ash
trees they can.
He said the DNR has found that saving
the trees actually saves communities in the
long run. Taking down the trees requires
some, if not all, to be replaced.
Treating the trees does have a cost, and
not all treated trees survive, but while the
trees are being treated, the community still
has the benet of the tree.
And those that do survive do not have
to be replaced.
Wisconsin has more that 700 million
ash trees with trunks more than one-inch
in diameter, McNee said. And 20 percent of
those ash trees are in urban settings.
McNee also recommended that private
homeowners with ash trees take steps to
protect their trees from EAB infestation.
EAB has been known to be in Wiscon-
sin since 2008, when an infected tree was
identied in Newburg, near West Bend.
DNR hopes new allies will slow EAB

Local woman helps coordinate Lyme protest
By Steve Targo
steve@lakegenevanews.net
Lyme disease is real; chronic Lyme
is real, and doctors are turning us away,
Lisa Hilton, of Lake Geneva, said in an
email.
For eight years, Hilton has been a Lyme
disease activist. Her efforts to make people
aware of the disease and change how it is
diagnosed brought her to the attention
of two people organizing the Worldwide
Lyme Disease Awareness Protest slated
for Friday and Saturday, May 10 and 11.
The protest is set to occur in more
than 30 countries and 20 states in the
U.S. There will be protests in Chicago and
Green Bay.
The cause is near and dear to Hilton,
not only because she suffers from Lyme
disease, but she had to undergo numerous
doctor visits and incorrect diagnoses.
In a May 2009 article about her
involvement in The Trish Project: Rib-
bons Across America, Hilton explained
her symptoms she would get lost while
driving familiar routes, experience numb-
ness in her limbs, and become incredibly
fatigued. Her symptoms mirrored those of
other diseases.
Being that it took over 15 years to get
diagnoses myself, I will forever be sick,
more than likely, she said. I want to pre-
vent this from happening to others, so I
started some online support groups and
some physical support groups.
Hilton said she has been involved in
several Lyme awareness events and fund-
raisers and has blogs and websites devoted
to the cause, including www.whatislyme.
com. Thats how she became connected to
those organizing the protest.
Two of my friends Joan Nielson
from Denmark and Karen Smith from
Australia both on the same day tagged
me in a post, asking me if I would want to
be the coordinator for the United States,
Hilton said. They knew I had already
done another protest two years ago for
Lyme Disease, in Boston, to get the ISDA
to change the treatment guidelines. They
introduced me to Charlotte Bjornstrom,
from Sweden, who put together the Face-
book page to bring all the different coun-
tries together.
The reason for the protest, she said, is
to spread awareness of Lyme Disease, not
just the kind you hear about that a couple
weeks of antibiotics take care of.
We want people to know how impor-
tant it is get prompt treatment so they
dont end up chronic, as Lyme disease and
the other co-infections from ticks dissemi-
nate into tissues and cross the blood-brain
barrier rather quickly if not treated right
away, Hilton said.
She said protest organizers also want
the public and the medical community
to know that current Lyme tests are not
accurate. Research has proven this, but
most doctors still dont know, Hilton said.
Protest organizers want people to see
these people as patients who are sick and
asking for recognition, she said.
We are hoping that, now that the
world is uniting, 30 countries coming
together to all protest on May 10 and 11,
that this will show that Lyme disease is
an epidemic way worse than swine u,
Hilton said. She also provided a map of
the eastern U.S. which shows the human
risk for Lyme disease. Wisconsin is one of
the few states shown almost entirely to be
within high risk.
The protests
Chicago: May 10 and 11, starting
both days at 10:30 a.m. Daley Plaza
will be the common meeting place.

golymeprotest.blogspot.com.

3 p.m., at Baird Place, southeast
corner of Webster and East Mason

LISA AND JASON HILTON tie ribbons on the bush and information container in front of
their former home in Pell Lake.
Meet Pell Lakes
new Postmaster
Valerie Heth recently became
the new postmaster in Pell Lake.
Prior to taking the job in Pell
Lake, she worked as the post-
master in Palmyra. She plans on
writing a regular column, which
will appear in the Lake Geneva
Regional News.
Regional News: What are your
rst impressions of Pell Lake?
Valerie Heth: First I am delighted
to be serving this predominately residen-
tial community. One of the most charming
things I noticed were the colorful street
names here utilizing owers, trees and
other things found in nature. To me this
is very poetic and conjures up visions of a
British comedy that I enjoy called Keeping
Up Appearances where the female charac-
ters are named Hyacinth, Daisy, Rose and
Violet. We have all those street names here
plus we also have Wisteria Lane.
RN: Tell me a bit about your back-
ground and career.
VH: I began my career eight years ago
as a clerk in the Whitewater, post ofce.
Three years ago I was
promoted to Postmaster
of Palmyra, which has
the zip code of 53156. I
nd it quite interesting
that I was promoted to
Pell Lake, and moved
up one zip code digit to
53157.
Before working at
the post ofce I was self-
employed for 13 years,
owning and operating an
antique mall in Elkhorn. Once my daughter
was off to college I sold my business and
thought it was time to try something new.
That is when I came to work at the United
States Postal Service. I did sell items online
and did quite a lot of shipping from my
store. If someone has questions
about shipping classes, packag-
ing, Click n Ship labels etc. just
give me a call and I would be
happy to answer them at (262)
279-5675.
RN: Do you have any
goals for the Pell Lake ofce?
VH: I have many plans for improving
the ofce. I have already moved the ofce
from a manual ofce to the point of service
computer system at the customer window.
This impacts customer service in a positive
way. Everyone now gets a receipt with valu-
able information on it. If you are shipping a
parcel it will tell you where it is going, esti-
mated delivery date and a tracking number.
The printed receipt is important to business
people who require a receipt for tax pur-
poses.
I am hoping to get a package locker
system for the convenience of my post ofce
box customers who have a difcult time
calling at the service window during busi-
ness hours so they can pick up parcels via
the lockers.
RN: What does a postmaster do?
VH: The postmaster is the manager of
the ofce. Their duties vary depending on
the size of the ofce they are serving at. In
Pell Lake it is a one-person show, so I sort
mail, deliver the post ofce box customers
mail, wait on the counter and help custom-
ers with their questions and problems, as
well as cleaning and simple building main-
tenance.
If you havent been to the Pell Lake post
ofce lately be sure and stop by soon and say
hello. There is plentiful, easy parking and
you are always welcomed with a smile. Full
service window hours are Monday through
Friday 8:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 to
4:30 pm. Saturday mornings we are open 9
to 11 a.m.. The ofce is at 1265 Park Road,
which is just down from the Mobil station.

In keeping with its season theme, A
Story to Tell, the LGSO will perform
Tchaikovskys Romeo and Juliet and
Beethovens Sixth Symphony. Badger
High School junior Matthew Frazier will
be the featured soloist in the first move-
ment of Haydns Cello Concerto in C
Major.
Frazier is the 2012 winner of the
LGSOs Young Artist Concerto Competi-
tion. Matthew is an extraordinary young
musician who has an incredible future
ahead of him, LGSO Music Director
David Anderson said. We are very for-
tunate to have the opportunity to watch
his early growth as a cellist. It wont be
long before well be saying, We knew him
when ... The Young Artist competition
and accompanying scholarships are spon-
sored by the Rotary Club of Lake Geneva
Neal Heffernan Art Scholarship Fund.
Tchaikovskys Romeo and Juliet
Overture-Fantasy is a brilliant musical
description of Shakespeares story. The
familiar love theme is one of the most
famous orchestral melodies, often heard
in movies and on television. Other themes
also weave into the story, one depicting
Friar Laurence and another the warring
Capulets and Montagues.
The Sixth Symphony, known as the
Pastoral, is unique among Beethovens
symphonic works and was innovative in
its time. Beethoven gave each of the five
movements descriptive titles, invoking
the countryside, a brook, a gathering of
peasants, a thunderstorm, and an exalt-
ing shepherds song of gratitude. Tell-
ing a story in music was uncommon when
Beethoven composed this piece, Ander-
son explained. This work provided both
inspiration and justification for compos-
ers later in the 19th century to expand
on what was eventually called program
music.
Frazier began studying cello at age
eight and has participated since fourth
grade in the orchestra programs in the
Lake Geneva Joint 1 School District and at
Badger High School. He is presently prin-
cipal cellist with the LGSO and the Badger
High School Bach Group, as well as a long-
time participant in the Milwaukee Youth
Symphony Orchestra. He performs in a
string quartet at Midwest Young Artists
in Lake Forest, Ill.
Tickets for the concert are $10 for
adults, free for students in grades K
though 12 and can be purchased on line
at www.LakeGenevaOrchestra.org or by

How closing district will ease tax burden, possibly allow building a new hall
Village president: TID will be biggest issue
By Steve Targo
steve@lakegenevanews.net
Editors Note: This is the second in a
two-part series about Bill Antti, Genoa
Citys new village president. The rst part,
a look at Antti and his philosophies about
village politics, appeared in the May 2 edi-
tion.
GENOA CITY People complain about
the villages tax rate being too high, yet
some village ofcials including Village
President Bill Antti are looking at pos-
sibly replacing the village hall.
How do you build a
new municipal building,
and a community center
without increasing the
tax burden?
In an April 25 inter-
view, Antti said they
may close the villages
Tax Incremental Dis-
trict, or TID. He said
this will be the biggest
issue he expects to face
during his two-year
term as village president.
But the question of a new village hall
factors in. Antti said although the current
building isnt adequate, he doesnt want
ofcials to jump into replacing it without
knowing how much the TID closure will
reduce the local tax rate.
I dont want anybody to see a tax rate
increase just so we can do something to the
village hall, Antti said.
But closing the TID may help.
With the TID closed, more tax revenue
will go into the villages general fund, which
is what it uses to pay for police, re, road
and other municipal services.
Antti explained how the TID factors
into the nancial bind the village has found
itself in on sites.google.com/site/gcvillage-
hall, a website created by the village hall
subcommittee.
Our village general operating budget
has suffered because of the economy, the
TID and a reduction of shared revenue,
(which is) the amount of state income tax
given to the village for operating costs,
Antti stated. We have more than doubled
our population since the establishment of
the TID, but have been using the same tax
base to provide the services for everyone.
So theoretically, if the village closes
the TID, there should be a reduction in the
local tax rate.
But Antti said they dont know yet how
much, or even when exactly they will close
it.
He said they expect it to close this year,
but the board wants to have TID expert
Phil Cosson, of Ehlers and Associates, talk
about it at a future meeting.
TID: Good and bad
So what is a TID, exactly?
The general denition, according to
Wikipedia: A nancial tool to use future tax
revenue to nance current improvements.
On April 25, Antti said the TID was cre-
ated in the mid 1990s.
He said the current problem isnt with
the TID itself but the size of it.
We have 44 percent of the village in a
TID, (which allows) you to borrow money
to improve your infrastructure, Antti said.
The taxes collected in the district go to pay
off loans that were borrowed to fund these
improvements.
Some of the improvements in Genoa
City were sewer and water service exten-
sions and road projects.
The (TID) money goes to pay those
loans off which, of course, is a good
thing, Antti said.
The problem, as he stated on the village
hall website, is how this limited the tax
revenue Genoa City could have otherwise
used to provide services to that more-than-
doubled population.
We have been providing services
using the property taxes collected from
56 percent of the village the portion of
the village that isnt within the TID, Antti
stated.
On April 25, he said the issue with that
is not that 56 percent of the villages prop-
erty tax revenue is paying off the infra-
structure improvement loans, but when
youre trying to fund a police department
and things like that.
Then, add to that the idea of building a
new village hall.
But on the website, Antti stated his pre-
diction.
By closing the TID, we should see a
reduction in our property taxes throughout
the village and still be able to repay a bond
used to nance a new village hall.
Still fact-nding
In a March 29 interview, Trustee Karen
Bullock who is heading the village hall
subcommittee said there are numer-
ous concerns with the village hall. Some
of them are air quality, asbestos, a leaky
roof and lack of space for village depart-
ments headquartered in it. This includes
the police department, which has no way to
quarantine evidence. Village records also
are being stored in the basement, where
the asbestos is.
On April 25, Antti said the rst oor
of the building is about 3,200 square feet,
with about 900 square feet in the basement
that is usable and I guess usable would be
in quotes.
I guess my feeling right now is, if
everything were perfect within the current
village hall, it still wouldnt be adequate
to serve the needs of the community, he
said.
But the committee is still looking at
facts. Members, including Antti, have vis-
ited other municipal buildings throughout
the area. Bullock said they were asked to
draw what they perceive to be an idea oor
plan for a Genoa City village hall.
Nothing has been ofcially decided
regarding a new village hall, meaning con-
struction isnt starting any time soon.
Still, it appears village ofcials know
its going to come down to cost.
Antti said ideally, he wants village tax-
payers to see a rate reduction because of
closing the TID.
But, suppose the village tax rate is $10
per $1,000 of equalized value, Antti said,
and closing the TID cuts that rate down to
$5. He said he would want the proposed
village hall project to cause a minimal
increase, if any, to, say, $7.

Rehab center in
industrial park
Spinal Rehab Center of Lake Geneva is
a new business in the industrial park.
Two things separate it from similar
businesses the background of Dr. Craig
Slapinski and a machine he says is the
only one in the area.
His background is colorful. After
graduating in 2007 from Palmer College
of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, he
moved to Ghana in West Africa bringing
his chiropractic expertise to the develop-
ing world.
His machine has a name that sounds
like it came out of science ction the
DRX9000.
Its designed for people with back pain
who dont want to have surgery.
Specically, its used to relieve back
pain caused by a bulging disc, herniated
disc, sciatica, facet syndrome or degen-
erative disc disease.
It gently decompresses the injured
discs to restore adequate blood ow and
stimulate the healing process.
The state-of-the-art machine adjusts
to the weight of the person using it. You
can watch a TV or DVD or listen to music
while the machine goes to work.
Its noninvasive and there are no side
effects, Slapinski said.
Slapinski said the DRX9000 is so
relaxing that some people actually fall
asleep while using it.
In addition, he has a variety of other
chiropractic equipment designed to attack
any problem.
The Spinal Rehab Center of Lake
Geneva is located at 800 Geneva Parkway
Suite 102.
Turn into the business park at the
Keefe building.
The center is located in the second
building to your right, or they can be

On March 7, Polo Park LLC, 415 S. Wells
St., 107, Lake Geneva; Joseph Bartosek of
Lisle, Ill.; and David Pack of Darien, Ill.,
led a civil action in Walworth County
Court claiming that the commercial unit
was purchased for more than its appraised
value.
The plaintiffs are represented by attor-
ney Richard Torhorst of Lake Geneva.
Castrogiovanni is also manager of a
company called La Terrazza, Oak Lawn, Ill.
Castrogiovanni and La Terrazza are named
as defendants, as are individual members
of the board of directors along with Signa-
ture Leasing LLC, DeKalb, Ill.; hotel man-
agement company Hostmark Wisconsin
of Madison and Cincinnati Insurance Co.,
which provides errors and omissions cov-
erage for the condo associations board of
directors.
The plaintiffs claim the action was
fraudulent and that it depreciated the value
of Bella Vista and adversely affected its
nancial well-being.
According to Bill Tauber, owner of Polo
Park, Castrogiovanni is no longer on the
board or a part of the condominium asso-
ciation.
However, Tauber claims that Castro-
giovanni still owns the commercial space
and the business in it. He said the property
was bought by Bella Vista on a land con-
tract.
Although Bella Vista bought the space,
it wont take ownership of it until it makes
the last payment on the contract, Tauber
alleges.
Other allegations by the plaintiffs are
that hotel management rm Hostmark used
Bella Vista funds to make payments on La
Terrazzas mortgage to Southport Bank,
holder of the mortgage, without authority
from the Bella Vista board of directors, and
that Hostmark was paying bills without
authorization by the condominium asso-
ciation.
The plaintiffs also claim that on or
about Oct. 1, 2011, La Terrazza transferred
to Signature Leasing a portion of Bella Vis-
tas purported debt.
Signature Leasing is owned by Pat
Giersch of DeKalb, Ill., a member of the
Bella Vistas condominium owners board of
directors.
The plaintiffs accuse Giersch and other
board members of conspiring to specially
assess the members of Bella Vista for pay-
ment of that portion of the obligation trans-
ferred to Signature Leasing.
Plaintiffs also claim that the Henri J.M.
Lorenzi Trust bought from Southport Bank
a note from La Terrazza that was secured by
a mortgage in the commercial unit for a dis-
counted item unknown to the plaintiffs.
The suit identies board member Charles
Lorenzi as the chief ofcer of the trust.
They accuse the board of then imposing a
special assessment on Bella Vista condo
owners to pay for the note to the trust.
The three plaintiffs are calling on the
court to declare the special assessment,
$245,000 total, to be null and void.
The plaintiffs, through Torhorst, also
claim Cincinnati Insurance is liable to Bella
Vista for damages the hotel sustained by the
alleged breach of duciary duty committed
by the board of directors and ofcers, by
virtue of the liability insurance coverage
issued by Cincinnati Insurance.
Plaintiffs are asking the court set aside
the sale of the commercial unit to Bella
Vista, to nd against the board for breach
of duciary duty along with judgments
against Hostmark and Cincinatti Insur-
ance, damages to be determined by the
court.
Leece and the defendants are calling on
the court to dismiss all charges brought by
the plaintiffs, to nd against them for costs
and fees and for further relief the court
deems necessary.
The plaintiffs accuse Giersch and
other board members of conspiring
to specially assess the members of
Bella Vista for payment of that por-
tion of the obligation transferred to
Signature Leasing.

The college, which has
been afliated with Aurora
University since 1992, was
originally designed as a
rugged outdoor facility to
hone young men into Chris-
tian adults using the traits
of resilience and self-reli-
ance.
Since Dimicelis own
religious roots run deep,
the George Williams invita-
tion became more inviting
the more he considered it.
Deepening the connec-
tion between the college
president and the philan-
thropist was a story the
president shared about her
upbringing.
Her father was a drug-
gist, she explained over
coffee, but the family never
seemed to have more money
than they needed. She even-
tually discovered that her
father was giving away ser-
vices for free to those who
couldnt afford them.
Dimiceli story has the
same echoes. Hes given
away millions of dollars of
his own money.
After that preceremony
get-together, Sherrick
showed a few people in
attendance a small room.
Its an exact replica of
the room where the YMCA
was organized in England
right down to the uneven
oor.
Dimiceli seemed to
embrace the tour more
than most. At one point
he sat down on a replica of
Williams own chair at the
head of the table as though
he was trying to chan-
nel the Y founders spirit
the spirit of giving that
connects Dimiceli and the
university.
As Sherrick prepared to
put on her graduation gown,
she noted that the weather
was perfect warm but
not so warm that shed be
steaming under her gradu-
ation garments.
By the time the ceremo-
nies began a half hour later,
several speakers brought
laughter with their pre-
pared statements about the
weather being not exactly
sunny, but at least moisture
free. There was still a bit of
chill coming from the lake.
A half hour into the cer-
emonies, as Dimiceli was
introduced, the sun broke
through the clouds.
No one mentioned what
the weather might have
been 100 years ago when the
George Williams Class of
1913 suggested its motto of
giving but its spirit seemed
to arrive right on cue.
We want our students to have an
authentic experience, Wells said.
Wells said when he was a student the les-
sons were taught to other students as prac-
tice. The hands-on experience of teaching
children brings the lesson to a new level for
the graduate and undergraduate students.
For the middle school students, Wells
hopes they also learn something about the
lake.
We want to teach them an appreciation
for the lake and give them the knowledge to
protect and preserve the lake, he said. It
wasnt just college students participating in
lake study day.
Audrey Greene, a lakes specialist with
the conservation division in Walworth
County, Ted Peters, director of the Geneva
Lake Environmental Agency, and Lynn
Ketterhagen, the Geneva Lake Conservancy
manager of land protection and operations,
also were at George Williams College talk-
ing to the students about protecting the
lake.
Ketterhagen had a groundwater model
on the scene to show students how pollut-
ants enter the ground and the lake. The
model is a narrow plastic case lled with
dirt and tubes. A dye is put into the case
and the students can watch the dye as it
travels through the ground.
As they see it travel through it helps
them grasp the concept, Ketterhagen said.
For the conservancy, the educational
effort is part of its overall goal of preserv-
ing the lake.

We Go The Extra Mile, So You Dont Have To!

Lake Geneva is committed to saving 150
of its ash trees from the emerald ash borer.
Last year, the chemicals were purchased
and the treatments applied to city-owned
trees, said City Arborist Jon Foster.
Now, all anyone can do is wait.
Well see how they come out, Foster
said in a telephone interview on Monday.
That could take as long as two or three
years, he said.
Last June, the city council voted unani-
mously to set aside $10,000 to save about
half of the citys ash trees.
The treatments began this fall, Foster
said in a recent telephone interview.
Fall application allows the chemical, a
commercial insecticide called Treeage, to
travel through the tree and kill the borers
before they can do much damage.
The chemical is not cheap. According
to information from the citys tree board,
it costs about $495 per liter. Individually,
trees receive an injection of 50 milliliters,
for a cost of $25 per tree per application.
According to city gures, add in equipment
and labor and the cost per tree comes to
$60.
But, by comparison, the city calculates
that removing a 25-to-30 inch diameter tree
costs about $2,000, not including a replace-
ment tree.
Public Works Director Dan Winkler said
the city might apply for a state grant this
year to cover half the cost of the insecticide.
The city doesnt have many ash trees in
its parks, Winkler said. Most are in the citys
rights of ways.
While the city plans to treat 150 ash
trees, another 150 ash trees will probably
have to come down because they are too far
gone with ash borer infestation.
Foster said the city took down between
30 and 40 trees this year.
The rest well take down as needed, he
said.
Foster said hes also looking forward to
the state Department of Natural Resources
experiment with two species of imported
stingless wasps.
The insects, not more than a millimeter
long, are imported from China, and feed
almost exclusively on the emerald ash bor-
ers eggs and larvae.
Foster said the chemical treatments and
importation of ash borer predators doesnt
mean the ash borer infestation will be
stopped.
But it may be slowed and allow many of
the areas ash trees to live longer and health-
ier.
Its going to take a few years to see how
well this works, Foster said.
The program applies only to city-owned
trees.
Private ash tree owners will have to nd
their own arborists to protect their trees.
Foster told the tree board last week that he
can give advice, but hes not licensed nor
equipped to protect privately-owned trees.
Ash trees do not make up a majority of
city trees. The city owns about 4,000 trees
total.
Winkler has said the city stopped plant-
ing ash trees when news came out in 2002
that the emerald ash borer had been discov-
ered in Detroit.
The pest has burned through the ash
forests of Michigan, Indiana and Illinois.
And although the invasion has slowed, its
still expanding.
So far, infested trees in Wisconsin
have been identied in Brown, Crawford,
Kenosha, La Crosse, Milwaukee, Ozaukee,
Racine, Vernon, Washington, and Wauke-
sha counties, as well as Walworth county.
Foster found the rst ash-borer infested
tree in Lake Geneva in late May 2012.
But Bill McNee, DNR forest health spe-
cialist, said the ash borer is a stealthy pest
and the beetles may have been in the area
for up to two years before they were rst
detected.
City ash treatments started, now we wait
By Chris Schultz
Tom Hartz had some numbers for the Lake Geneva city
council members at the councils committee of the whole
meeting on Monday.
They were not reassuring.
More than 50 percent of the children
in Lake Geneva schools are eligible for
free or reduced- price lunches.
About 13.5 percent of the citys pop-
ulation lives below the federal poverty
level. That average for the state as a
whole is 12.1 percent.
The unemployment rate in the 53147
zip code is 9 percent.
The downtown has 9 vacant store-
fronts.
Lake Geneva now has two food pan-
tries to help feed people in need, Hartz
said. Thats two more than 11 years ago, he added.
And, a free clinic opened in Elkhorn to serve people
who lack health insurance.
Its not that Lake Geneva is a bad place or that anyone
is doing a bad job, said Hartz, who owns Simple Cafe, 525
Broad St. Some of these numbers we look at and we say,
maybe theyre insurmountable.
However, Hartz said the city council, residents and the
business community need to work together to change some
of those numbers and improve the lot of local residents.
Philip Sassano, of Harvard, Ill., and owner of Philip
Sassano Design Inc., 231 Cook St., was also at the meeting,
representing the citys Business Improvement District.
Although he lives in Harvard, Sassano said he consid-
ers Lake Geneva his hometown.
He said Lake Geneva is a very special place where
everyone has a sense of community, and the community
has a sense of family.
Its a community where people dont need a last name,
Sassano said. He said its time for city council members
and civic leaders to step
up and address the citys
needs and look to the citys
future.
Sassano said the dis-
trict is renewing its com-
mitment to Lake Geneva
through the What Are We
Missing? campaign.
The What Are We
Missing? campaign is an
effort to turn potential into
promise, Sassano said.
He suggested the rst
step might be a communi-
tywide digital suggestion
box on the citys website.
The two also presented
a video done by the Lake
Geneva Regional News
ReelLifeTV.net featuring
Sassano and children from
Central-Denison School
discussing whats missing
from Lake Geneva.

WILLIAMS BAY Williams Bay Schools
Superintendent Vance Dalzin is a nalist for
the superintendents position at Fox Point-
Bayside School District.
Williams Bay School Board President
Dianna Woss said Dalzin has been open
with the board about his testing the waters
at other districts.
Hes been open and honest with us, and
thats what we like about him, Woss said of
Dalzin.
Woss said that, in a perfect world, it
would be preferable to have Dalzin remain
at least until the board decided what course
it will take with the elementary
school.
The district is now going
through the process of determining
whether it will go to referendum to
replace its aging elementary school
building.
On the other hand, she added,
the process of reviewing elemen-
tary school alternatives is started,
and whether the district builds the
new school or not is up to the dis-
tricts electors.
This is a community project and its
going to be the community that will decide,
Woss said.
Dalzin said the Fox Point-Bayside posi-
tion was a position I explored.
He said his application for another
position elsewhere in no way indi-
cates that hes dissatised with
Williams Bay.
This was just a position I was
exploring, he said.
Woss said that in education,
administrators must take advan-
tage of opportunities as they arise.
Sometimes doors open and
will not open again for a long time,
said Woss, who also worked in edu-
cation at George Williams College of Aurora
University.
Dalzin echoed Woss observation.
When opportunities arise, administra-
tors sometimes have to check them out.
On the other hand, Dalzin said his job
application at Fox Point-Bayside does not
indicate any unhappiness with Williams
Bay.
Theres a lot of great people here and a
lot of great things happening here, Dalzin
said of Williams Bay.
He said it was very likely that he will still
be with the district when the board decides
whether to go to referendum.
In April, Dalzin was also among six semi-
nalists for the superintendents position at
the Greeneld School District.
However, the nalists there came down
to a former Greeneld teacher and an admin-
istrator from Illinois.

Police arrest
teen after
robbery
By Jade Bolack
JBolack@lakegenevanews.net
WALWORTH Hours after an armed robbery of the
Citgo Gas Station in Walworth Thursday, a juvenile was
arrested by the Lake Zurich, Ill., Police Department.
The police referred charges to the Walworth County
District Attorneys ofce for armed robbery, disorderly
conduct and endangering safety by use of a dangerous
weapon.
Lake Zurich is about 45 miles southeast of where the
robbery took place May 2. The Citgo Gas Station, 122 S.
Main St., is across the street from the Walworth public
library.
According to a press release from the Walworth Police
Department, the suspects have stopped at churches and
businesses asking for money claiming to be a young family
in need.
Police were alerted of the robbery when the store clerk
called 911 and reported two subjects robbed him at gun-
point.
The robbers were described as a white, adult female
and a 13- to 15-year-old, white male. Walworth police also
said there was a possible third suspect in the vehicle that
left the gas station.
Witnesses saw the two robbers leave the gas station
east on Maple Avenue and later enter a pickup truck pull-
ing a camper. About ve minutes later, a trafc camera
spotted the vehicle driving south on State Highway 14 at
the Wisconsin/Illinois state line.

By Jade Bolack
FONTANA The village of Fontana hasnt been able to
ll the vacant director of public works position since Craig
Workman left in November.
Workman resigned to take the same position in Burl-
ington.
Instead, after no success interviewing applicants, the
village will create two new positions directors of streets
and utilities.
The village board approved the split of the directorship,
and current lead workers in the two departments, Dennis
Barr and Ron Adams, will ll the new positions.
It has been about six months since Ron (Adams) and
Dennis (Barr) have been running the departments, Vil-
lage Administrator Kelly Hayden said at the May 6 village
board meeting. Obviously, we went out with applicant
searches, and we didnt have a successful applicant at that
time.

Three people rescue woman
Fire destroys Fontana home
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA A re destroyed the home of two Fon-
tana residents Monday, May 6.
Fontana Fire Chief Wolfgang Nitsch said nothing in
the house, which is located near the Lake Geneva Yacht
Club, is salvageable.
At 2:47 p.m., the re department was alerted to the re
at 1227 S. Lakeshore Drive.
The re was large enough for the Fontana Fire Depart-
ment to request help from other departments in the area.
Fontana Police Department Administrative Assis-
tant Barbara Dorsey said reghters from Linn, Sharon,
Darien, Walworth, Delavan, Elkhorn and other depart-
ments assisted the Fontana crews.
Nitsch said during a phone interview May 7 that Scott
Peterson, an assistant re chief, was one of the rst to
arrive at the re.
One woman was home at that time, Nitsch said. He
(Peterson), an unidentied citizen and another police of-
cer were able to assist the woman from the home using a
ladder that they put up to the balcony.
Fontana Police Chief Steve Olson said the woman was
rescued from the balcony hanging over the driveway.
She was cleared by medical personnel on the scene and
stayed near the house while reghters worked.
The Regional News was unable to contact the woman
or Neil Stephens, who also lived in the home.
At the scene, Nitsch said the re most likely started in
the basement, where containers of gasoline, diesel fuel and
kerosene were found when reghters cleared the house.
Its too early to speculate regarding the specic cause
of the re, though, Nitsch said.
Fireghters were at the house for more than six
hours.
We had the re under control at around 5 p.m., he
said. We were still there until around 9 p.m. Nothing in
the house is salvageable, though the car that was in the
garage during the re was saved.

PTO wants to build middle school playground
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA Middle school students
at Fontana Elementary School dont have a
playground.
They have two basketball hoops one
broken in a parking lot.
Ann Brost and the rest of the Parent
Teacher Organization hope to correct that
by the end of the school year.
The lofty goal includes raising $52,000
and installing new basketball hoops, tether
ball stands and climbable playground
equipment.
The younger
kids have a play-
ground, Brost said.
They split the kids
up because they
play differently, but
the older kids have
nothing.
Brost said the
current basketball
hoops didnt have
nets until recently.
I didnt realize
how bad it was, she
said. My daughter
asked me to buy some balls. I disregarded
it until one day I had lunch with her and
walked out there.
After buying some balls and jump
ropes, Brost said the PTO wanted to leave
something better for current and future
students.
We actually talked to the children,
she said. We went to the kids . . . They had
a list of what they wanted. This project is
based on what the kids wanted. Its really
neat that were doing what they want.
Original plans, before consulting with
students, included exercise stations, Brost
said.
They wanted to play, she said. They
need unstructured safe play where they
can just interact.
Walk of fame
To raise the money, Brost and the PTO
are turning to the community.
Its not just students at the school that
can benet from this, she said. Younger
kids who will be at the school in the future
and kids after school use it. During the
summer, there can be kids that use that
playground. Its really for the community.
The PTO wants to line the sidewalk in
front of the school with personalized bricks
from community members who want to
donate to the project.
They can buy a brick for $100 and per-
sonalize it, she said. Their name or their
message will be on the brick for everyone to
see as they walk by. Businesses can spon-
sor a larger brick, too, or a family, if they
want to spend more than $1,000. Theyll
get a larger brick and be more prominent
in the brickwork along the sidewalk.
Brost wants the bricks to become a walk
of fame for the school and the community.
We can never have too many bricks,
she said. That is the least of our problems.
If we get enough bricks, well just have
more of a patio area. We can put some of
the tables over the bricks. Theres plenty of
room.
Students have also solicited pledges
from family and friends for an upcoming
walk-a-thon.
Theyll be walking on a closed course
later in May.
Were really hoping we can raise the
money to have this completed by the end
of the year, Brost said. Hopefully, we can
have a grand opening before school ends.
That keeps the excitement up.
To buy a brick for the Fontana
Walk of Fame, nd forms on Fontana
Elementarys website, fontana.k12.
wi.us, pick up a form at the school
ofce or call (262) 275-6881.
Bricks are $100 for a 4-by-8 inch
and can be personalized.
The PTO would like to have brick
order forms by May 10.
MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS at Fontana Elementary School dont have much to play with
during their recess time. The PTO is asking the community to buy bricks to place along the
sidewalk in front of the school to help fund its playground goal.
The younger
kids have a play-
ground, PTO
member Ann
Brost said. They
split the kids up
because they
play differently,
but the older kids
have nothing.

Pearces Farm plans
push for agri-tourism
By Jade Bolack
TOWN OF WALWORTH The
Geneva Lake West area has to wait a few
more months until Pearces sweet corn is
available, but the family-owned business
already has plans to make this the best
season yet.
We had a family business meeting to
discuss this, Bob Pearce, third-generation
operator of the stand, said during a phone
interview. Im the grandson. Grandma
and Grandpa have always ran the stand ...
Im jumping in and taking the stand to a
new level. Im trying to promote agri-tour-
ism.
Before the stand opens, the farm will
see some improvements and changes to
gain more attention from tourists and local
residents.
When I open the doors, all the con-
struction will be done, he said. We open
when we have our sweet corn, probably
around the end of July. I plan on having
all the work done by the time the stand
opens. The construction plans are still in
the works, though.
During a town of Walworth board
meeting April 16, Pearce was approved for
conditional use permits for more activities
and events hosted near the farm stand on
State Highway 67 and County Highway F.
Pearces father, Bill Pearce, is on the
town board. He didnt vote during on con-
ditional use permit applications.
Were going to continue doing the
helicopter rides, Pearce said. A lot of the
other activities are for future planning.
Basically, its too late in the season to line
up (events for this summer). If you want a
car show in the summer, you have to plan
12 months in advance. Otherwise, they are
already booked.
Besides adding a car show to the lineup,
Pearce said at the meeting hed like to see
a pumpkin launching event or a craft fair.
The business plans to add a picnic shelter
and improve the childrens play area as
well.
If I ever want to do (any of those
events), I got the legwork done by getting
town approval, he said.
Some of the Pearce farm stand staples
will remain the same.
Well continue to have the hay maze
and pile like weve always had for the kids,
Pearce said. Well be adding to the kids
area, but we arent sure what yet.
Joe Abell, Walworth town chairman,
said he likes to see the business growing.
I think its a great idea, he said.
Whenever you can get more people in,
thats a good thing.
Pearce said he knows itll all work out,
though the plans are still being nalized.
Its all up in the air right now, he said.
Its going to come together when it comes
to crunch time.
See future editions of the Regional
News for more news on the Pearce farm
stand expansion.
PEARCES FARM opens in July, and new projects will begin this summer and next.
Yerkes hosting observing sessions
Yerkes Observatory offers several evening
observing sessions where participants have
the opportunity to admire the night sky seen
with the unaided eye and through a large 24-
inch diameter reector. Observing dates in
this month run from 9 until 10:30 p.m. on
May 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.
Participants begin outside with a brief
introduction to the night sky as seen with the
unaided eye where superb views of planets,
constellations, hundreds of stars, occasional
sporadic meteor streaks, the Milky Way and
the moving, bright International Space Sta-
tion may be possible. Binoculars may assist
with the viewing. After observing outside,
tours enter the building and climb 39 steps of
a spiral staircase up into the northeast tower.
Through the 24-inch diameter reector,
brilliant ringed Saturn and its moons, maybe
the moon, and perhaps a couple of celestial
objects invisible to the unaided eye may be
seen. The charge is $25 per person, payable
the night of the event. Advanced reservations
are required and may be made by calling
Richard Dreiser at (262) 245-5555, ext. 880
or by sending email to rdd@yerkes.uchicago.

WILLIAMS BAY No seats were contested for the Wil-
liams Bay School Board this year, but the ve-seat board
will have a new member this year, while retaining a board
veteran.
Newcomer Becky Boggs and current board president
Dianna Woss were unopposed for the two open seats when
incumbent Cathy Butler decided not to run for re-election.
Boggs will join a school board that is deep into the pro-
cess of examining possible designs and locations of a new
elementary school building.
Butler, meanwhile, will now focus on her rst love,
coaching Williams Bays girls track and cross country
teams. She will also become a citizen member of the school
boards facilities committee.
Woss has been president of the board since former
president Kim Travis decided not to run for re-election last
year.
She is entering her third three-year term.
To me its been six years of learning, said Woss, of
2721 Theatre Road.
While she was on the school board, the board has devel-
oped a master plan, and it is now developing a plan for a
new school.
I feel its unnished business and work to be done,
Woss said.
Whether the board goes ahead with building a new
elementary school and how it proceeds
with the project, will be up to the Wil-
liams Bay residents and taxpayers, she
said.
Woss still has family in the Williams
Bay schools.
Her granddaughter is in third grade
and grandson James is a junior this year
at Williams Bay High School.
Woss is retired from George Wil-
liams College of Aurora University,
where she was the Resource Center
coordinator. Her husband, Ray, is also
retired.
I decided to run for the Williams Bay School Board
because this is a critical time for public education in our
state and in our district, said Boggs.
I hope to be of service to this community, she said.
Boggs and her husband, Mike, of 427 Lakewood Drive,
Willams Bay, have two sons in the Williams Bay schools.
Older son Deaken will graduate from Williams Bay High
School this year. Younger son Jack is in seventh grade.
Boggs said her family moved to Williams Bay in 2000.
Boggs recently earned a Masters of Divinity from Chi-
cago Theological Seminary. She completed the youth and
theology program at Princeton Seminary in 2009.
While she ended her three-year term by choice, Butler
said her time on the board was rewarding.
I would sum up my time as an eye-opening experi-
ence, Butler said.
She said she now has a better understanding of the bal-
ancing act the school board has to maintain between con-
trolling expenses and sustaining a high level of academic
achievement. But Butler said she discovered that the job of
school board member was simply too time consuming.
Its just been very many meetings, Butler said. My
heart is not into building projects, she admitted. The
wheels of government move very slowly.
She said, however, that she planned to be a citizen vol-
unteer on the school boards facilities committee.
Butler is a former pediatric nurse who over the years
has volunteered a considerable amount of her time to the
district.
She has volunteered as art chairperson, featured artist
chairperson, Fun Fair games chairperson, Williams Bay
girls softball coach, was a member of the Barrett Memo-
rial Library Board and is a former Student and Community
Association vice president.
Three years ago, she decided to run a write-in cam-
paign for the board, when four candidates were running
for two seats.
Her main topic of concern was the growing Williams
Bay School District budget decit.
The board, with Butler as member, made the hard deci-
sions and cuts necessary that ended the districts decit.
Since then, added income from open enrollment has helped
the district restore some of those cuts.
Concerned about school-community relations, it was at
Butlers suggestion that the school board instituted infor-
mal informational meetings with district residents and
school groups, including meetings with district electors,
district parents, school staff and students.
I respect all the other board members, Butler said. I
think they do a great job. Im glad to have served.

When Voltz was interviewed by the special agent Voltz
said he rst found child pornography in the summer
of 2012. Voltz told the agent that he had both video and

Voltz also told the special agent that he spends time
online talking with people and getting advice on how to
nd child pornography.
He also allegedly admitted that he would play videos
from his computer through a web cam for other people

Hayden said with the summer tourism
season approaching, the village would be
better served with directors in charge of
the departments.
Details regarding the job position,
including pay rates, of the new director-
ships were not nalized at the meeting.
Trustee Cindy Wilson objected to one
item on the proposed job descriptions.
I dont want to see them (Barr and
Adams) in a position where theyre work-
ing on one project and they get called to
another place, Wilson said. We have
three different bodies that could poten-
tially call these guys off of one task and
put them on another. I dont think thats
productive.
The proposed job description included
a line that stated both directors could
be assigned additional duties from the
administration, public works committee
or the village board.
Village President Arvid Pete Petersen
said the job has always been like that.
Despite the way its written, thats
the way its done, Petersen said. Some-
one has to be in charge. Part of their job
includes prioritizing the assignments they
receive.
Petersen said the street and utility
departments would not be taken from
urgent situations to take care of less
important work.
Hayden said no ofcial terms of the
jobs have been set, but its probable the
directors will remain in the union with
employment contracts.
They didnt decide anything for sure
yet, so I dont know, she said in a phone
interview May 7.

Big Foot Jazz Ensemble wins competition
By Jade Bolack
WALWORTH The Big Foot Jazz
Ensemble takes their music playing seri-
ously.
On April 27, the group won rst place at
the State Solo and Ensemble Festival.
They also take their jokes seriously.
One day in class we were deciding on
what our name should be, euphonium
player Eman Huerta said. I gave out the
Scooby Doo and the Bandwagon name,
and everyone seemed to like it. We stuck
with it.
Band director Neal Raskin said this
years band name and T-shirt design
was one of the ways the class broke up a
rehearsal session earlier in the school
year.
It was kind of the spur of the moment,
Raskin said. Great bands should have a
good name. We spent about 20 minutes
discussing names. This was the best we
came up with, well that Eman (Huerta)
came up with.
Like most bands, theres another story
behind the name they chose. The storys
not easy to share with those outside the
band.
Its like a joke inside a joke, sax player
Shaun Sovsky said.
At the competition, the group played
a version of Sing, Sing, Sing, written by
Louis Prima.
The students know their music, com-
posers, writers and players, too. The version
they played was different from the famous
Benny Goodman version from 1937.
The judge said there was nothing
wrong with it except that the trumpet
(players) werent dancing, Sovsky said.
He said he wanted more dancing.
The performance was record-making
for the school.
Raskin said he doesnt know the last
time the jazz band won rst place at the
state competition, but it was long before he
started teaching at the school three years
ago.
Some of the students convinced Raskin
to let them play George Michaels Careless
Whisper, which Raskin admits is more
ballad than jazz.
They heard it on a YouTube video and
wanted to try it, he said.
The group did well on the rst reading,
and Raskin said theyll work out the choppy
parts and have it ready for the upcoming
performance.
I just bribe them with candy, he said.
That works pretty well to get them to calm
down and focus on the music.
Raskin also has plans to take the
ensemble to jazz festivals next year.
Many of the seniors in the group have
plans to continue with music after gradu-
ation.
Im going to (the University of Wis-
consin) Madison to play in the marching
band, trumpet player Steven Schauf said.
They have auditions to make it.
Sam Meeker said Raskin was a partial
inuence on his decision to study music
education in college.
Over the years, it came to me that I
wanted to inspire children, Meeker said.
I had a couple ideas. I just wanted to con-
tinue on in music. I wanted to help better
the eld.
SCOOBY DOO AND THE BANDWAGON performs again Monday, May 13 at 6:30 p.m.

and ensemble competition in April. Shown here are Neal Raskin, band director (right) and

County joins WI-VINE
Walworth County residents will now
have quick access to custody information
on offenders in the county jail, according to
a press release from the Walworth County
Sheriffs Department.
Sheriff David Graves activated the WI-
VINE (Victim Information and Notication
Everyday) service, an automated system
that noties registered crime victims, law
enforcement personnel, concerned citizens,
and community members when offenders
are released from jail and also provides
around-the-clock access to offender infor-
mation either by telephone or the Internet.
In addition to crime victims, the WI-
VINE system can be used by family mem-
bers, neighbors, business owners, law
enforcement ofcers, criminal justice pro-
fessionals or anyone impacted by crime who
is interested in knowing the location and
custody status of criminal defendants and
offenders housed in the Walworth County
jail.
Protecting the citizens of Walworth
County is always our highest priority,
Graves said. The WI-VINE service pro-
vides an added level of protection because
it gives everyone access to timely and accu-
rate information on offenders in our county
and other counties throughout the state
that currently offer the WI-VINE service.
My command staff has worked very hard
to implement this service and I am appre-
ciative of the support we received locally in
order to participate in this program.
County residents who are interested
in inquiring about an offender or receiv-
ing automated notication of an offenders
change in status can call (888) 944-8463 or
log on to www.vinelink.com and search by
an offenders name or booking number to
obtain custody information. Those choos-
ing to register for automated notication
will be able to register multiple phones
and/or e-mail addresses where they will be
automatically notied when an offender is
released, transferred, escapes from custody
or his or her status changes. In addition, live
operator assistance is available 24 hours a
day through the toll-free number, (888)
944-8463, seven days a week for callers who
have questions or require additional help.
The WI-VINE service has been in oper-
ation throughout the United States for more
than 16 years and the service is certainly
designed with the victim in mind. It is very
user-friendly, Walworth County Clerk of
Courts Sheila Reiff said. What makes it
special is the automatic notication fea-
ture as long as you have a telephone or
a computer, you can receive an automated
alert any time of the day or night. This level
of protection and notication is critically
important to anyone whos concerned about
the whereabouts of an offender.
The activation of the WI-VINE service
was funded by a grant from the Bureau of
Justice Assistance (BJA), Ofce of Justice
Programs and the U.S. Department of Jus-
tice.
Since 2005, the Statewide Automated
Victim Information and Notication
(SAVIN) grant program administered by
the BJA has nearly doubled the number of
states providing automated victim noti-
cation. The goal of the SAVIN program
is to increase public safety and improve
vital criminal justice decisions by ensur-
ing that victims and community members
are given timely and accurate information
that enhances their ability to protect them-
selves.

WALWORTH COUNTY COURT
Teen gets probation for armed robbery
A 19-year-old Silver Lake, man was sentenced to eight
years of probation for his role in the 2009 holdup of an
Elkhorn gas station.
Tyler J. Trnovec, 408 Anita Court, pleaded guilty April
25 to a felony charge of armed robbery.
Elkhorn police were dispatched to the Mobil Gas Sta-
tion on North Wisconsin Street for a report of an armed
robbery.
The clerk told police that two men, both wearing dark
hoodies and their faces covered with bandanas, entered
the store and brandished semi-automatic handguns.
One of the men demanded cash, and the clerk placed
money from the register into a backpack. The men left the
store with about $918.
On June 25, 2009, police spoke to Trnovec, who admit-
ted his involvement in the robbery.
On June 19, 2009, when the robbery occurred, Trnovec
was 15.
According to the Regional News les, in July 2009, the
Walworth County Sheriffs Department announced that four
men and a boy were arrested in a string of armed robberies
in Wisconsin and Illinois, which included a Silver Lake boy.
Pell Lake men face burglary charge
Two Pell Lake men are accused of breaking into
the Lakeside Country Store and one is believed to have
returned a couple of days later to purchase energy drinks.
Donald A. Monroe, 18, and Matthew Monroe, 17, both
of W932 Pell Lake Drive, have been charged with felony
burglary and misdemeanor counts of criminal damage to
property and theft.
If convicted of all counts both men face up to 14 years
imprisonment and $45,000 in nes.
On March 8 at 7:05 a.m. police were called to the store
at N1457 Orchid Drive for a report of a burglary.
That morning an employee saw Laffy Taffy sticks in
the walkway, and when she went into the store she noticed
the money drawer was open.
The employee reported that a window had been dam-
aged. She also said cashed-out lottery tickets and $300
was missing from the store.
On March 10, Bloomeld Police Investigator Lori
Domino went to the store and spoke to the employee again.
The employee said she suspected Monroe had burglarized
the store.
She said when Monroe was in the store, he stared at the
broken window and then purchased several energy drinks.
The employee said Monroe typically didnt have enough
money for one energy drink.
Police questioned Monroes brother, Matthew Monroe.
Matthew Monroe admitted to Domino that they took a
metal grate off of a window with tools and then broke the
window.
Matthew Monroe, who has not been charged accord-
ing to online court records, also told Domino that he and
Donald split the money.
Donald Monroe told police that he went into the Lake-
side Country Store and left when an alarm sounded.
Delavan man sentenced to jail for theft
A 20-year-old Delavan man was sentenced to four
months in jail with work release privileges for his role in
thefts from the East Delavan Union Cemetery Associa-
tion.
Matthew O. Soukup, 706 Faryl Ave.,
No. 12, also was sentenced to 40 hours
of community service, which he already
completed. Soukup is eligible to have
his record expunged if he successfully
completes his sentence. He pleaded
guilty to a felony charge of identity theft
for nancial gain.
Soukups grandmother, Sandra A.
Behn, 75, pleaded guilty March to a
felony charge of theft from a business
setting, and was sentenced April 12 to
two years of probation.
Behn had been the treasurer of the
association since 2006.
According to the criminal complaint against Behn:
On March 7 police interviewed Behn who admitted to
embezzling money from the Union Cemetery in the town
of Delavan.
Behn told police she used cemetery money for personal
expenses between January 2011 and December 2011.
Lawrence Rademaker, vice president of the East Dela-
van Union Cemetery Association, told police he examined
the account and Behn had written $16,628 worth of checks
to herself.
According to the criminal complaint against Soukup:
When police questioned Behn, they asked her about
two checks that were written to Soukup, but appeared to
have a different signature on them.
On April 3 police spoke to Soukup who admitted he
wrote two checks to himself and signed his grandmothers
name. The checks totaled $650.
Kenosha woman guilty of selling heroin
A 45-year-old Kenosha woman pleaded guilty April 17
to a felony charge of delivering heroin.
Kristi F. Doll was arrested after she sold heroin to a
condential informant in Lake Geneva on Jan. 6.
Doll was sentenced to three years of probation and
must complete 100 hours of community service.
A three-year state prison sentence followed by three
years of extended supervision was imposed and stayed,
which means Doll will only serve the sentence if she vio-
lates the terms of her probation.
A co-defendant, Mark Tolzda, received an identical
sentence on March 1 after he pleaded guilty to the same
charge. Originally, Tolzda and Doll were charged with
three counts of delivering heroin. However, two counts
were dismissed but read into the record.
While working with a condential informant, police
purchased heroin from the couple on Jan. 6, Jan. 9 and
Jan. 13, 2012, in Lake Geneva.
Man accused of child sexual assault
A 19-year-old Lake Geneva man is accused of sexually

The Fran Achen contest is an excellent opportunity

Watch out for utility scam
A nationwide scam targeting utility customers has
turned up in Lake Geneva, according to Police Chief
Michael Rasmussen.
The scam artists pose as service representatives from
various utility companies and call customers, primarily
targeting Hispanic community members, and tell the vic-
tims that their accounts are past due and immediate pay-
ment is required to avoid disconnection.
The scammers ask for a debit or credit card to complete
the bogus utility payment, or they threaten to turn off the
victims utilities. Scammers have gone so far as to ask vic-
tims to buy a prepaid card from a grocery or convenience
store and call back with the information for payment.
The perpetrators will then take the payment informa-
tion and transfer the funds and cash it in.
Persons receiving phone calls from persons demand-
ing immediate payment with a credit card, debit card or a
prepaid card, hang up and contact their utility companys
service line.
The utility will conrm whether one of their represen-
tatives called and if the customers account is past due.

Williams Bay: Lady Dogs
win, 36-3. 2C
Scoring spree
Lady Chief Dogs barking loudly
By Mike Ramczyk
sports@lakegenevanews.net
WALWORTH With the departure
of nine of 11 varsity starters from a team
that went 17-4-3 overall last year, Big
Foot/Williams Bay head girls soccer coach
Annie Isham was a tad hesitant to predict
big things from the Lady Chief Dogs this
season.
After all, they lost their goalie, the con-
ferences leading scorer and the conference
player of the year to graduation.
Isham acknowledged it was a young
team, and it could take some time to work
out the kinks.
Only three weeks later, the youthful co-
op squad is on some kind of roll with bal-
anced scoring and solid keeper play.
On May 2 at Palmyra-Eagle, Big Foot
got a second-half goal from Rachel Heiden-
rich and held on for a 1-0 victory.
The Chief Dogs remained perfect atop
the Rock Valley Conference standings at
8-0.
I would attribute our early success
to the hard work put in during both the
offseason and the challenging preseason
time, Isham said. Most of the players were
devoted to workouts and training sessions,
and we had a very good work ethic despite
the difculties of being indoors so much.
Youth equals energy. My underclassmen
have been energizing the team with their
enthusiasm as well as their talent.
Despite rainy and windy conditions, the
Chief Dogs pulled out a tough victory May
2 in Palmyra. On Heidenrichs goal, Schyler
Isham tossed the ball to Morgan Courier
on the left side. Courier shook her defender
and kicked a cross to the back post. After
a full sprint, Heidenrich volleyed the ball
into the back of the net.
A highlight-reel score to be sure,
Isham said. Palmyra is a very good team
and has come a long way. Both teams
played very tough, and both keepers had
great games.
On April 30, Big Foot beat Palmyra in
Walworth, 1-0. Mari Hubanks accounted
for the only goal.
We denitely did not have our best
night, Isham said. Out of 15 shots to the
net, we only put one in. It was the rst
game this year where I saw us struggling
with our own rhythm.
Balanced scoring has been key for this
bunch. There are 12 players with at least
one goal.
Heidenrich, Hubanks, Morgan Courier,
Morgan Grunow, Schyler Isham, Maggie
Kivlin and Emma Crement all have six or
more total points. Courier leads the way
with 14 points, and Grunow and Hubanks
each have 13. MIKE RAMCZYK/REGIONAL NEWS

SLC, ranked
No. 7 in state
Badger falls in SLC showdown
By Mike Ramczyk
BURLINGTON The only reason
its a big game is because weve played
well enough to make it a big game, and
so have they.
Those were the words of Badger
head coach Aaron Zweifel moments
after his team dropped a pivotal South-
ern Lakes Conference battle, 4-2, to
Burlington Monday at Beaumont Field.
A pretty upbeat attitude after a
loss to say the least. But why shouldnt
Zweifel be positive?
The Badgers bumped up one spot
from No. 8 to 7 this week in the Wis-
consin Baseball Coaches Association
state rankings. They are now 10-3 over-
all and 8-2 in the SLC, good for rst
place. Also, Zweifel knew he had his ace
pitching the next day in the rematch.
But the offense never really got
going for the visiting Badgers Monday
night. Burlington took a 1-0 lead in
the bottom of the rst and that held
until the bottom of the third, when the
Demons plated a run on a bloop single
and another on a booming double to the
fence in center eld. Down 3-0, Badger
starting pitcher Travis Stahulak was
visibly frustrated on the mound.

Boys track wins rst title since 1999
By Mike Ramczyk
CLINTON Lightning may have
cancelled the Big Foot track teams meet
May 2, but the boys already did enough
to win their rst conference title since
the 1990s.
After 12 events at Clinton Middle
School, the action was stopped due to
heavy lightning. The Big Foot boys track
squad was dominating both Palmyra-
Eagle and Parkview.
With enough points accumulated,
including victories over Beloit Turner
and Clinton April 30, it meant the boys
won their rst Rock Valley South cham-
pionship since 1999.
With a 5-0 record in duals, the Chiefs
built strong momentum heading into
this weekends Rock Valley Conference
meet in Brodhead.
The meet on Tuesday was the one
that really decided it between the three
teams, said Big Foot track coach Greg
Lueck. We had one of the best meets we
could ever have had with great perfor-
mances from everybody.
The boys beat Turner, 84-62, and
crushed Clinton, 87-59. Turner beat
the Big Foot girls, 88-56, and the Lady
Chiefs fell to Clinton, 111-35.
In that April 30 tilt against Turner
and Clinton, Kyle Rambatt set a Big Foot
school record in the pole vault with a
heave of 13-0, breaking the previous
mark of 12-9.
It was well-deserved, Lueck said.
Kyle has been working long and hard to
break that record.
Senior Garett Cary won both the shot
put and discus events for Big Foot. Dan
Pearce took rst in the long and triple
jumps.
His leap of 19-9.75 in the long jump
was a season best. Matt Ripkey was
second in the long jump at 19-9.
In the 1,600 run, Mike Brody and
Fletcher Strahan nished rst and
second, with times of 4:47.00 and
4:48:00, respectively. Lueck said both
beat strong competition.
Also, the 1,600 relay team of Ripkey,
Eman Huerta, Ed Kinerk and Ben Lueck
nabbed rst place by 0.1 seconds, sealing
the victory in the last race over Clinton.

Lady Chiefs take
two victories
By Mike Ramczyk
WALWORTH After starting the season 0-6, the Big Foot softball squad
is turning things around.
The Chiefs have won four of their last five ball games and have evened their
conference record at 4-4.
On May 1 at East Troy, the Chiefs scored three runs in the sixth to take the
lead and help secure a 9-7 victory over the Trojans. Freshman Morgan Stalker
led the way with three hits, and Kristen Glade and Brooke Berryman added
two hits each.
Jen Petkoff struck out six on the mound.
For head coach Rick Schoenbeck, Big Foot (4-7 overall) has battled adver-
sity.
We have injuries to three starters (Kayla Crump, Dana Hinske and McK-
enna Skerhutt), but they will be playing this week, he said. Also, Camryn
Horton (cleanup hitter) was ineligible for three weeks. With all that, we have
had more errors and walks from pitchers and gave up leads in the seventh
inning in three losses. But we are settling in nicely now and looking good as a
team.
On April 30, Big Foot split at Parkview, winning 7-4 but losing 6-3.
In the victory, Stalker was 2-for-4 with three RBIs.
Petkoff earned the victory on the mound.
Big Foot scored all seven of its run in the fourth inning.
In the defeat, the Chiefs notched 13 hits.
Krump led the way with three hits, and Berryman, Danielle Young and
Marissa Kovarik added two apiece. Petkoff allowed only two earned runs on
the mound.
In the first inning, an error led to three Parkview runs. Big Foot tied things
up, 3-3, in the third, but Parkview finished off the Chiefs with a run in the
fourth and two in the sixth.
Im pleased with the adjustments we have made after missing some play-
ers, Schoenbeck said. The girls are learning how to play with pressure and
win close games.
Schoenbeck said Petkoff has been carrying the load on the mound. Also, he
said Glade, his catcher, is hitting well and runners arent testing her arm. Brit-
tany Schoenbeck is leading the team in RBIs.
Stalker has served as a catalyst from the leadoff spot, and center fielder
Berryman has anchored the outfield, according to Rick Schoenbeck.
Big Foot returns home to face Edgerton Thursday and hosts a doubleheader
against Brodhead Saturday.
We will be back to full strength, Rick Schoenbeck said. If we can avoid
errors and walks, we can win any game.

Golfers make progress
By Mike Ramczyk
JANESVILLE Week in and week out,
the Badger golf squad goes up against some
of the top teams in the state.
Milwaukee Marquette, Beloit Memo-
rial, Madison Memorial, the hits just keep
coming.
But progress and improvement have been
key, and they resulted in Badgers best 18-
hole nish Saturday in Janesville at the Ash-
enfelter Invite.
The local boys shot a 350 to place 12th
among 19 teams. It was the rst time this
season all four players scored less than 90.
Freshman Alec Jacobson led the way with an
86, followed by Tom Schneiders 87. Seniors
Keith Schwefel and Hayden Hochevar added
an 88 and 89, respectively.
The team played really well in Janes-
ville, Badger coach David DeShambo said.
Our team total of 350 was our lowest in two
seasons.
So why did the team play its best golf in
two seasons.
We are denitely improving, DeShambo
said.
We have come a long way. I think the
area we are showing the most growth in is
our course management. The guys are learn-
ing how to play competitive golf and how
to manage the round to nish with the best
score possible.
Furthermore, the young Badgers are cut-
ting down on mental mistakes. DeShambo
said this is just as important as play on the
course.
That is the most crucial point to our suc-
cess, he said. I think in the next two weeks
we would like to be able to break the 350
score.
On Thursday, Badger travels to Meadow-
brook in Racine for the WPGA Junior Invite,
hosted by Brookeld Central.
They completed their last Southern Lakes
Conference major of the season Tuesday.
On Saturday, the boys venture to the Kaz
Invite in New Berlin, another event showcas-
ing the states nest teams.
I am very pleased with the progress the
guys are making, DeShambo said. Their
level of play, from all ve players, has really
picked up. We have a couple JV players,
Logan Tenney and Tyler Hall, that are start-
ing to play well also, but since the varsity
players have continued to improve, they have
not been able to crack the varsity lineup just
yet.
Another tough meet
On Friday, Badger battled at the Beloit
Invite, but golf conditions were horrible,
according to DeShambo.
Badger shot a 365 and placed just outside
of the top half in the 24-team tournament.
It rained for the rst three hours of the
round and was quite cold on top of it, DeSh-
ambo said. We shot 365, which was accept-
able given the conditions.
Schwefel paced Badger with an 89, and
Schneider added a 91. Jacobson tallied a 92.
Hochevar rounded out the scoring with a 93.
On April 30, Badger nished fourth of
eight SLC teams at a conference major at
Twin Lakes Country Club.
It was Badgers second fourth-place nish
in three conference majors.
The Badgers totaled a 360.
Again, we played consistently, DeSh-
ambo said. We are really limiting our high
scores this year, which makes a big differ-
ence in the team standings.
Badger is tied for fth place in the SLC
standings with the SLC tournament coming
up May 14 at Hawks View.
Bay scores 36 runs
It takes some teams an entire month,
maybe even an entire season to score 36
runs.
It took the Williams Bay softball team
three innings Monday night.
Playing on the road at Hustisford, the
Bay demolished the Falcons with 13 runs
in the second and 17 in the third.
Hustisford committed six errors.
The Lady Bulldogs are now 8-1 on the
season and 7-1 in the Trailways South, only
a game and a half behind rst-place Hori-
con.
As a team, the Bay had 21 hits. Haley
Shea led the Bay with four hits and ve
RBIs. Claire Canda, Sam Storms and
Claudia Wautlet each notched three hits.
Sami Sutter, Alex Schintgen and Emmalyn
Meyers all tallied two hits.
Sutter was stellar on the mound, allow-
ing only three hits and striking out three.
Earlier in the week, the Bay swept two
doubleheaders.
On May 2 at Rio, the Bay took the rst
game, 11-0, and won the second game, 10-
1.
Storms red a one-hitter in the 11-0
victory.
On April 30, the Bay had a closer pair of
games against Deereld.
The Bay won the rst game, 9-7. Down
6-5, the Bulldogs rallied for four runs in
the bottom of the seventh to win on a walk-
off. Storms went 3-for-5 for the game.
In the second game, the Bay won, 8-4.
The Bulldogs led, 5-0, after two innings
and cruised the rest of the way.
Storms and Shea each had two hits to
lead the Bay.
The girls return home looking for
revenge against Horicon Thursday.
Chiefs drop fth straight
After an 8-1 start, the Big Foot boys
baseball squad is reeling.
Last week was one the Walworth boys
would like to forget.
On May 1, Big Foot fell behind, 5-3, at
East Troy before falling, 9-7.
Big Foot is now 8-6 overall.
The Chiefs cut the lead to 8-7 with a
four spot in the fth, but the Trojans tacked
on a run in the sixth for insurance.
In the four-run fth, Alex Landers and
Brett Morris each knocked two-run singles,
but Austin Hoey ew out to end the threat.
Billy Landers took the loss on the
mound, allowing ve earned runs in six
innings. He gave up 11 hits.
In a pivotal Rock Valley South double-
header April 30 at Parkview, the Chiefs
were swept for the second straight time in
the conference season. Beloit Turner swept
Big Foot two weeks ago.
Big Foot is now 4-5 in the RVC South,
three and a half games back of conference-
leading Turner.
In the second game against Parkview, a
3-2 loss, the Vikings scored in the bottom
of the seventh for a dramatic victory.
Hoey was strong on the mound for the
Chiefs, striking out 10 and scattering six
hits in 6 1/3 innings.
Big Foot out-hit Parkview, 8-6. Brian
Wolski led the team with three hits, and
Zak Greco added two hits.
In the rst game, an 8-2 defeat,
Parkview scored three runs in both the
third and fth innings and cruised to vic-
tory.
Brandon Hausner allowed six runs in
ve innings to take the loss.
Wolski and Carter Hehr led the Chiefs
with two hits each.
Big Foot returns home to face Edgerton
Thursday.
Badgers strong at
Burlington Invite
Tristan Sproul had
a big day for the Badger
girls track squad Friday
in Burlington.
The senior, who will
run track and cross
country at Division II
St. Cloud State in Min-
nesota, won the 400
meter dash and took
second in both the 800
and 1,600 runs to help the girls take third
in the eight-team meet.
Sproul ran a 1:04.26 in the 400, beat-
ing Janesville Parkers Ashley Hartwig by
more than a second. Sproul just missed
rst place in the 800 by .28 seconds,
behind Miltons Michelle Kraus.
Elle Adams placed second in the 3,200
run with a time of 12:22.57. The 800 relay
team of Madisyn Cromey, Leah Foltman,
Angelina Labonne and Taylor Ajamian
took third with a time of 1:56.62, and the
3,200 relay squad of Anna Kase, Karina
Reeves, Cassi Mennenoh and Sydney Davis
was third (11:02.44).
Allison Paleka nabbed second in the
long jump with a leap of 16-1.
The boys placed fourth.
The 400 relay squad of Andrew Allen,
Nick Hall, Michael Mann and Zachary
Zane placed second with a time of 45.36,
less than a second behind Menomonee
Falls (44.93).
Also, the 800 relay team (Hall, Mann,
Christian Martinez and Robert Johnson)
placed second in 1:36.12. The 3,200 relay
team of Alex Martinez, Mike Adams, Cody
Sadikoff and Kiley Lofy took second as
well, running in 8:44.38.
Allen nabbed third in the long jump
(19-3), and Evan Gibson placed third in the
shot put with a mighty toss of 42-8.
In the discus, Erik Sundstrom was
second with a 125-2, and Josh Doyle was
right behind him in third with a 124-9.

Our balanced scor-
ing is tough for teams to
defend, Isham said.
Courier leads the club
in goals with seven. Goalie
Natalie Boldger has been
consistent in the net, with
32 saves this season.
Isham said inclem-
ent weather kept the girls
inside nearly the entire
rst month, so it has been a
challenging year coaching-
wise. But her senior leaders
have stepped up.
The leadership of
my senior captains Molly
Kovarik and Maggie Kivlin
has been strong, Isham
said. The defensive unit
of Kovarik, Kathryn Colby,
Ally Mazur, Alisa Freytag
and Boldger have only given
up three goals. Amazing.
Schyler Isham leads the
conference in assists and
has been key to distributing
the ball to our forwards.
Big Foot travels to
Whitewater Thursday
before returning home
May 14 against Evansville,
which is 5-1-1 in the RVC
and in second place.

ning. The challenge lies in
staying healthy and main-
taining our mental focus.
I just didnt seem to get much
of my stuff working until later in
the game, Stahulak said after the
game. It was frustrating how a lot
of their hits were bloop shots over
the ineld. But thats baseball.
Burlington avenged two extra-
inning losses to Badger from last
year. Now 7-2 in conference, the
Demons only trail Badger by a half
game in the standings.
We needed to get over that
mental hurdle of beating Badger,
Burlington coach Scott Staude said.
They have a very good ball club.
Badgers Jonah Zeinert gave
Stahulak some run support in the
fourth. The tall, powerful rst base-
man crushed a fastball well over the
fence in right-center eld for a solo
shot to cut the lead to 3-1.
However, the Demons answered
right away in the fourth. After two
bunts put runners on the corners,
Ian Weber, Eric Skipper and Zein-
ert turned a textbook 4-6-3 double
play, but another run scored to
extend the lead to 4-1.
Stahulak settled down, though,
and retired the next seven of eight
batters. Meanwhile, in the sixth,
Badger junior Derek Denecke, who
has been on a tear, singled and
scored on a wild pitch to make it 4-
2.
After two outs in the top of
the seventh, Badger put together a
mini-rally. Mitch Jensen stroked a
single to left followed by a base hit
from pinch hitter Gunner Losch.
However, Weber grounded into a
force out at second base to end the
game.
Stahulak struck out eight and
held the Burlington offense in check
for the most part. The Demons were
sparked by their ace pitcher, Nolan
Friend. The southpaw struck out
seven and scattered ve hits in the
complete game victory.
It was Friends fourth win of the
season, and his earned-run average
is 1.52.
He kept us guessing all night,
Zweifel said of Friend.
Stahulak dropped to 4-1, and
his stellar ERA fell to 0.88.
Burlington got bunts down
when it counted, Zweifel said.
We miscommunicated on a couple
of those and gave them two big
innings. Sometimes, that happens.
We didnt help ourselves. They
deserved to win.
Denecke, who is batting .609
in limited action this season, was
2-for-2 to lead the Badgers. He
extended his hitting streak to seven
games.
Talk about taking advantage
of an opportunity, Zweifel said of
Denecke. Derek got a chance and
got put in right eld. At one point,
he was 12-for-16. It couldnt happen
to a better kid. He works his butt off
and does his job.
Badger returns home to face
Janesville Craig Monday.
Pitch perfect
Badgers pitching has been the
biggest reason it is ranked in the
state and leading the conference.
As a pitching staff, the Lake
Geneva boys have combined for an
impressive 1.52 ERA.
Along with lefties Andresen and
Stahulak dominating at the top of
the rotation, Skipper, Weber, Zein-
ert and Tom Ritzman all have ERAs
of 1.40 or better.
Weber and Skipper havent
allowed an earned run in 17 2/3
innings.
Our pitching has been really
good, Zweifel said. Our starting
pitching has been fantastic. Guys
like Weber, Zeinert and Skipper
have stepped up in a big way. Any-
body we put out there, they are
throwing strikes. We have been hit-
ting the ball well, too.
The team is batting .319 over-
all, and ve guys (Denecke, Krien,
Skipper, Bobula and Andresen) are
hitting above .300.
Gus Wedig was rst in
the 110 hurdles, second in
the 300 hurdles and third
in the high jump.
The Big Foot girls ended
up 2-3 in conference, good
for fourth place.
On April 30, Flor
Ramirez won the 100 hur-
dles with a time of 18.1 sec-
onds.
Libby Brooks won the
1,600 run with a time of
5:53.00. Lueck said it was a
great time.
Julie Petkoff won the
shot put with a toss of 28-
6. Kalen Gillingham took
rst in the 400 run with a
1:11.00.
On May 2, the girls
beat Parkview, 72-11, and
downed Palmyra-Eagle,
49-38.
Saturdays RVC meet
will feature all 12 teams.
Im looking for the
boys to nish in the top
three, and hopefully the
girls can nish in the top
eight, Lueck said.

Big Foot
Baseball/Badger, Burlington and Union Grove all atop SLC
Sullivans squad edges his alma mater
By Mike Ramczyk
GENEVA TOWNSHIP Big Foot boys
golf coach Bob Sullivan had an open spot on
his schedule.
So why not take a step up in competition
while battling your old school?
Thats what Sullivan did Monday, as the
Chiefs hosted Sullivans alma mater, Burling-
ton, in a nonconference dual on the Arnold
Palmer course at Geneva National.
It was the rst time Big Foot
played Burlington since 1998, when
Sullivans son Patrick and some
guy named Tony Romo were on the
Demons. Sullivans team edged Bur-
lington, 165-166, for yet another win
in this near-perfect season for the
Chiefs. Big Foot is 4-0 in conference
mini meets and won the Walworth
County Invite.
It was a fun match, and its
always nice beating an alma mater,
Sullivan said Monday. It was a nice day.
Big Foot freshman Luke Bourneuf once
again proved Geneva National is his favor-
ite place to play. After shooting a 78 to take
fth overall at the highly competitive Badger
Golf Invite April 29 at Geneva National, the
young lefty led the Chiefs again Monday.
He red a 39 and adds depth to an
already-potent Chief lineup.
Luke is really coming into his own, Sul-
livan said. He is polished for a freshman.
He enjoys being a teammate. It was a break-
through for Luke.
Dylan Freytag added a 40, Craig Halma
shot a 41 and Kyle Shoger tallied a 45 to round
out the scoring. Sullivan also said Mitchell
Stedman has provided consistent play from
the fth spot.
Big Foot takes its 4-0 Rock Valley South
dual record into Saturdays conference meet,
a 12-team tournament featuring defending
conference champ Edgerton. It will be held
at Riverside in Janesville.
Edgerton is tough, Sullivan
said.
It will only be for bragging
rights. It would be nice to scare
them a bit. We still must bring our
numbers down for sectionals.
Edgerton won last years meet,
and Big Foot took second.
Chiefs win at Brodhead
In an RVC South mini-meet
April 30, Big Foot won with a score
of 166, six strokes ahead of second-place
Clinton.
With four victories, Big Foot has 24 total
points for the conference season. Parkview is
second with 18.
The guys were consistent, Sullivan said.
We needed to play really well. It was a little
tighter than usual.
The low man for Big Foot was Halma,
who red a 39. Freytag shot a 40, Bourneuf
added a 43 and Shoger notched a 44.

third term honor roll
A total of 17 Badger High School stu-
dents participated in the International
DECA Career Development Conference held
in Anaheim, Calif., from Tuesday, April 23
to Saturday, April 28. Thousands of DECA
members from all 50 states and Canada
converged to determine the best and bright-
est marketing leaders of tomorrow. The con-
ference was attended by more than 16,000
students.
Badger students competed in both indi-
vidual and team series events. Conference
attendees had to take a written test and
complete a role-play scenario in their chosen
competition areas connected to career path-
ways that allow students to begin learning
foundational concepts, then those more
specic to a career path and nally those
specic for an occupation.
The students and the events in which
they participated were:
Josh Bakken, Principles of Hospital-
ity and Tourism; Caroline Carbonara and
Cooper Bohn, Leadership Development
Academy, where they were voting delegates;
Jacob Besenhofer, Gavin Denecke, Vic-
toria Bouras, Tom Ritzman, Emily Mack
and Emily Bakken, H&R Block Dollars and
Sense Challenge; Bridget Keefe, and Derrick
Buntrock, School Based Enterprise Acad-
emy; Lulu Liang, International Business
Plan; Sam Bruns, Marketing Management;
Jordan Dunn and Tristan Sproul, Buying
and Merchandising Operations Research;
Mikeala Suchocki, Food Marketing; and
Liberty Wieseman, Sports and Entertain-
ment Promotion Plan.
The students qualied to compete at
this conference by earning top honors in
the Wisconsin State Conference in March.
For the rst time in chapter history, Badger
had students compete in an event called the
H&R Block Dollars and Sense Challenge.
This event required student teams of
three to use a personal nance computer
simulation to make sound nancial deci-
sions to create a character that can earn the
greatest net worth. In October, there were
more than 2,600 teams around the country
registered for the event. Only the top two
teams from the Central Region (13 states)
qualied in two different rounds of compe-
tition to advance to the conference.
The team of Besenhofer, Mack and
Bakken and the Denecke, Ritzman and
Bouras team earned $500 travel stipends
to compete at ICDC from H&R Block. Once
at the conference, they competed in a double
elimination tournament with the top 16
teams from around the world.
The rst team nished the tournament
in 15th place overall. However, after barely
missing advancing in the rst round of com-
petition, the second team proceeded to win
ve consecutive matches to advance to the
international nals.
In the nal round they competed for
15 minutes against the top four teams and
placed second overall in the event. All three
team members earned a $5,000 college
scholarship courtesy of H&R Block. This is
the rst ICDC experience for Ritzman, but
Denecke and Bouras also made it to nals
last year in another event.
Without the support of the local busi-
ness community for these students and the
excellent work experience that DECA mem-
bers experience through working in the
Lake Geneva area, these honors would not
have been possible.
The advisors for the students are Phil
Huff and Vanessa Kirk.

So far, so good.
The future of the historic
Geneva Theater appears more
promising than ever.
After months of fundrais-
ing and handwringing, the arts
community is in a better place
and so is the city.
Before the recent pur-
chase of the building by an
outside investor, the city and
the Friends of the Geneva The-
ater were between a rock and a
hard place.
The Friends wanted the city to buy the
building and allow it to be run as a commu-
nity arts center.
While their sincerity and resolve is
unquestioned, their apparent inability to pres-
ent the city with a viable business plan kept
the project in neutral.
Truth be told, it wasnt a bad place to be as
far as some city councilmen were concerned.
While some council members supported
the purchase and others had indicated theyd
vote against it, the swing voters had a dilemma
on their hands.
They liked the idea and the people involved,
but they questioned whether it would be self-
sufcient nancially.
If the idea failed, the city would be stuck
with a theater on its hands and
egg on its face.
Constituents would have
rightly come down on the city
fathers and called it a boon-
doggle, especially consider-
ing the city has more pressing
nancial needs.
And, if the city owned it,
they wouldnt even be receiving
a tax payback for the property.
While many in the business
community gave lip service to
the arts idea, none apparently felt condent
enough to put sufcient money where their
mouths were and purchase the place.
There didnt seem to be a good answer.
Not only would the city have had egg on its
face if the idea failed, so would the arts com-
munity. Any chance of them gaining steam on
a similar idea would have shrunk.
For both parties involved, it would have
been a huge leap of faith to go forward.
Being in neutral seemed to be the best
course of action.
Keeping it in neutral, however, did not
exactly remind anyone of an action plan.
Eventually, something would happen. Some-
thing nally did.
Out of the blue, an apparently benevolent
buyer appeared. It was a deus ex machina
moment the cavalry arrived just in time.
While they didnt specically purchase it
for the arts community, they indicated they
were at least open to the idea of some artful
involvement.
The result: The city is off the hook. The
arts community will have a burden to prove
itself to the new owner, but at least itll have a
chance to fulll its dream.
The other upside is that the city wont be
in a position of trying to realize expectations,
a position they would have been in had they
owned it.
If they owned it, theyd be on the horns of
a dilemma.
If they wielded too heavy a hand on the
Friends theyd be accused of meddling. Plus
theyd be burdened with the use of time and
resources to do so.
If they were hands off, theyd be accused
of lax oversight if the project failed.
Were hardly at the end of the road.
Theres nothing beyond a vague under-
standing between the new owner and the
Friends.
And theres lots of work to be done both
on the building and toward a viable game plan
for the theater.
But now, at least, theres hope with
fewer strings attached.
Editors note: In my diatribe last week,
I used the pronoun he in a reference to an
over-heard exchange involving a former
mayor. I should have used the pronoun her
to describe the person the mayor was talking
to. Sorry for any confusion.
Halverson is editor and general manager
of the Lake Geneva Regional News
This past weekend I was
most honored to be asked to
be the commencement speaker
at George Williams College
of Aurora University. I was
humbled and a little nervous
thinking I was the one to be
sending off all these graduates
after many years of hard work
in their educations.
Once I realized these stu-
dents all were going to be serv-
ing our fellow creations in some
capacity my presentation came
to me naturally. I did not prepare any written words to read
from, I just spoke from my heart to express my true thoughts
on helping others.
The honorary degree in Doctor of Humane Letters was
over and beyond any of my expectations. I still cannot realize
this honor. I thank everyone for making me feel right at home
on the beautiful George Williams campus and for sharing its
wonderful history of service to others.
Dear W.C.,
I am a woman veteran that has been suffering from Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I have been driving to Madison for treatment. I have not
been able to get a job yet due to the nature of my disability. I am
easily stressed and cannot handle any loud noises. I am barely
able to afford my rent and utility expenses, let alone the gas
and car repairs necessary to continue my treatment in Mad-
ison. I have found an affordable rental in the Madison area,
along with the prospect for a bookkeeping job in a quiet ofce
that would be perfect for me. I am allowed to work from home
a few days a week. What I need help with is the repairs to my
car and a security deposit for the Madison apartment.
Vet Trying to Move Past PTSD
Dear Readers,
I called this woman knowing an unexpected visit may be
too stressful for her.
I was encouraged when she asked me to come by to talk.
I asked if she would like to meet in a public place, but she
declined due to the noises and activity being too difcult. When
I arrived at her apartment I knocked softly, like she had asked,
and waited for her to come to the door. After I introduced
myself I admitted I did not have experience with PTSD.
I did not ask the woman about her experience in the mili-
tary or her injuries. She must have felt comfortable with me
to share her story. The woman told me about her active duty
overseas.
Tearfully she told me how she had witnessed the loss of
several of her comrades and that is what triggered her PTSD
symptoms. I told her she did not have to go on as I could clearly
see she was in distress.
She paused for a minute and then said, I feel I can talk
to you about this and you will understand. So many people do
not know what I am going through. They do not see a physical
injury so they wonder why I cannot move on.

Most jobs
come from
small business
Job growth in Lake
Geneva is a primary goal of
the Lake Geneva Economic
Development Corporation
(LGEDC).
While bringing a going
business here from another
community produces a dra-
matic show of new jobs all
at once this does not happen
often. Statistics show that
more than 70 per cent of
new jobs come from new or
growing small businesses.
A national report from the E. M. Kauffman Founda-
tion stated that, if not for startups, the nation as a whole
would have lost jobs in 22 of the 29 years spanning 1977
to 2005. Young companies, 5 years old or less, added
jobs in all 29 years.
This is obviously important to the Lake Geneva com-
munity as we work to provide jobs and keep our talented
young people here.
Most new business people believe they have a great
idea for a new and successful venture and believe they
can successfully give the public a product or service they
need and want.
In many cases this is true but many of these same
entrepreneurs have little or no concept of the business,
financial, organizational or marketing skills needed to
accomplish this. I have had the opportunity to meet
with a number of these people in the past years, but my
experience does not give them the total picture needed.
Here is where LGEDC comes in to help. In recent
times LGEDC has sponsored a variety of chances for
those in new or small growing businesses the oppor-
tunity to gain much of this knowledge as well as con-
tact specialists in the expertise they lack to expand this
knowledge even further.
Among these have been series on using social media
for effective marketing, opportunities for business
people to sit down one-on-one with business experts
to discuss specific problems they are having and series
covering a range of problems facing small businesses.
All of these are designed to assist the business man-
ager/owner, not serve as a training ground for employ-
ees. For the most part, employee training can best come
from Gateway Technical College. LGEDC will be spon-
soring future owner sessions during 2013. Please keep
an eye out for Regional News announcements regarding
these.
Added to these opportunities are the assets of one of
the top business schools in the country University of
Wisconsin-Whitewater.

To the Editor:
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jacqueline
Sieracki and I am the coordinator for the Wisconsin Wins (WI
Wins) campaign for Kenosha, Racine and Walworth counties. WI
Wins is a science-based, state-level initiative designed to decrease
youth access to tobacco by reducing illegal tobacco sales to minors.
This is accomplished by conducting retailer tobacco compliance
checks in partnership with local law enforcement and providing
retail employee education and training on the law and best prac-
tices when selling tobacco products.
WI Wins also conducts New Product Watch (NPW) surveys
to create awareness about the newest tobacco products to hit the
market and that are available for purchase in our communities.
We will begin our 2013 NPW surveys in May throughout the three
counties.
Our 2012 NPW results for Walworth County revealed that
tobacco products, both cigarettes and other tobacco products
(OTPs) are easily accessible. OTPs appeal to youth because they
are discreet (smokeless) and are avored and packaged like candy.
Over half our schools are within six blocks of a tobacco retailer
and these retailers outnumber the schools 2 to 1. State law does not
require all types of tobacco products be behind the counter. NPW
surveys performed in Walworth County did reveal OTPs displayed
for sale on the end caps of candy aisles. A tax loophole makes the
price of some tobacco products as affordable as candy. For exam-
ple, the popular brands among youth, a three-pack of White Owl
Cigarellos, is $3.16 and a 20-pack of Santa Fe Little Cigars is $3.43
compared to a 20-pack of Newport Cigarettes that cost $7.05 for
menthol and $6.74 for non-menthol.
Selling tobacco products to minors can have serious conse-
quences for retailers and their employees. Wisconsin state statute
134.66 prohibits the sale of tobacco to anyone under the age of 18
and requires training for employees who sell tobacco products.
Retailers who sell to minors can receive nes as high as $500 and
have their licenses suspended for up to 30 days if theyve had a
prior illegal tobacco sale to a minor in the previous year. Both the
retailer and the selling employee are subject to nes.
Free tobacco sales training and certication is available for
retailers at www.smokecheck.org, an online training and certi-
cation resource developed by the WI Wins program, a program
of the Wisconsin Tobacco Prevention and Control Program. Our
focus is to provide training, media and community outreach and
education to help retailers and their employees avoid hefty nes
and assist them in becoming the rst line of defense in decreasing
youth access to tobacco products.
Sincerely,
Jacqueline Sieracki
Coordinator WI Wins
To the Editor:
In terms of the numbers of families the Big Foot Emergency Food
Pantry in Walworth serviced in 2012, our pantry broke every single
long-term and short-term record we had.
There has not been a slow down for 2013. Comparing the rst four
months of 2013 to all prior years, in January we broke the record by
one family. We missed the highest February ever by one family, which
had been in 2010. In March we missed the all-time highest March
ever and also the highest weekend ever, again by one family.
This trend broke in April. This year we had the highest April ever
by more than 10 percent over 2012. With May being a ve-weekend
month, it is easy to assume May will also be a top month. Even though
we only allow the families to come to the pantry once a month, for
some reason a ve-weekend month is always a very busy month.
Our assigned area for helping families covers roughly 100 square
miles. It includes the towns and rural areas of Walworth, Fontana,
Williams Bay and most of Linn Township. Weve never done a study
of what the percentage of people is from each of those four main
areas, but we have been seeing a noticeable increase in the numbers
of people showing up for help from Fontana and Williams Bay.
The most disturbing trend we have is the continuing numbers of
new families showing up for help. A new family is one that has never
been to our pantry before or has not been there in more than a year.
Last year, each month had an average of three new families for every
family we worked with. In terms of raw numbers, this year we are
seeing that trend continue.
There has been a change though and not a good one. It became
noticeable late last fall and has gotten worse. In talking with volun-
teers from other pantries, they are seeing the same thing. It used to
be that when a new person/family came they were either at the point
of being in tears about being so upset about having to be there, or
they were really angry. Not angry at us, but angry about having to go
to a food pantry. For the most part, those days are over. What we see
now is what Ive been calling the deer in the headlights look. The
description I get from other pantries is more professional than mine.
They are saying the recipients look stunned. They simply cannot
believe they are at a food pantry and are big time stunned to be there.
I would like to elaborate on this very disturbing development, but this
is not the right forum.
The local, county, state and national data all show that this reces-
sion is deepening with more and more people needing help. We see
that every week. We know the names, faces and many stories on how
and why they are at our food pantry. They are literally your neighbors.
There is not a single neighborhood in our 100 square mile area we
service that has not had someone come to our food pantry for help.
And yes, that includes lakefront property. Do you nd that hard to
believe? One of the best-kept secrets around is who is coming for food
at the food pantries, and we try hard to keep it that way. Sufce it to
say that it is all too common for bad things to happen to good people.
The continuing great news is the fabulous support we are getting
from everyone both near and far away. The support and generosity
from so many individuals, clubs, organizations, foundations, schools,
businesses, churches and other groups has been top-notch. Thank
you all so very much.
If you would like to donate food, then our only request is that you
keep it simple. Items like our, sugar, rice, cooking oil, any kinds of
beans, macaroni/pasta, canned fruit/vegetable/tuna, etc. Please sup-
port any food drives being held in your area. The post ofce has one
soon for Mothers Day that is coming at a great time when all the
pantrys shelves are getting a little bare with the holiday donations
being used up. All of the food pantries in our area and others would
appreciate whatever you could donate or do to help.
Financial donations can be really stretched. Twenty dollars allows
us to purchase well over 100 pounds of ground beef, cut-up chickens,
brats, roasts, hams, similar frozen meats and other needed items.
On behalf of the many needy local families, thank you so much for
all your generous support.

To the Editor:
Mr. Halverson ... Mary, Mary, quite contrary. You bet I am!
Have you forgotten?
OK, let me help you. Hold your right hand up as if you are
taking an oath. Spread your rst two ngers forming a vee. Now
shake your head and yell, I am not a crook!
Now back to Mr. Lyon. When asked about the posters he know-
ingly said, Yeah, it worked, didnt it!
Now try telling me again it was and honest mistake.

How is it possible to dis-
cuss two of musics great
artists when they seem to
be such polar opposites?
Both are men, pianists and
made major marks in the
1950s. And their marks
were indeed considerable.
Is it necessary to discuss
both in the same context?
In this case, yes, because
both died recently, and each
produced his own form of
artistic revolution. As a point of pride, I
recognize both as examples of American
genius.
Dave Brubeck, who died in December
a day short of his 92nd birthday, changed
the sound of jazz and made it main-
stream.
Van Cliburn died in February at age
78. He was the 23-year-old Texan who
won the International Tchaikovsky piano
competition in Moscow in 1958, becom-
ing an American hero. His recording of
the First Piano Concerto was the first
million-selling classical record, eventu-
ally reaching more than three million.
Its hard to write about art without
waxing personal. The exits of these art-
ists have caused reflection on how I came
to where I am and why music means so
much to me.
The irony is I am no musician; I
simply love music and have done what is
possible both in and out of my profession
to encourage it.
The 1950s were years
of fundamental change in
America and in my life. I
began teaching at age 30
in 1957. In those first years
two music events influenced
American culture. In addi-
tion to Van Cliburns win-
ning the Tchaikovsky com-
petition, the Dave Brubeck
Quartet released the album
Time Out, and Take Five
became the first jazz single
to sell more than a million records.
Commercial considerations aside, it
is hard to describe the way music stirs
emotions and demands all of our senses.
When Van Cliburns recording of the
Tchaikovsky concerto went public, we
fell in love with this American who was
beating the Russians in their own game.
He played with animation and ardor. He
allowed Americans to share in the power
and energy of Russian music. All this at
the height of the Cold War, and just eight
months after Sputnik. I still recall the
renewed sense of pride and elan his per-
formance generated.
What an experience to accompany
this not-so-young first year teacher
trying to get his bearings. I will not
forget the six-foot-four 160-pound Texan
with the shock of sandy hair who gave us
an instant shock of warm patriotic pride
during the Cold War.
Things worked a bit differently with
Dave Brubeck. Ive never quite caught
on to his unusual rhythmic ways. Take
Five, as it took the pop world by storm,
seemed an anomaly. Rhythmically it was
in 5/4 time, which has been called a
defiant time-signature. Just try to keep
all that straight. You can easily lose your
way in quintuple rhythm. Yet there is a
provocative, irresistible tug to the thing.
But there are ironies. The first is that
Brubeck does not have a solo he always
has solos. Alto-saxist Paul Desmonds
first and last choruses frame the tunes
centerpiece, which is Jo Morellos drum
solo. But somethings missing: its that
figure Brubeck keeps playing over and
over and over through the five-minute
piece (get it? take five!).
Sorry, I cant explain how and why
it works. I wouldnt want to recount the
number of time I have heard it Take
Five was used in Badger High com-
mencements twice (part of the slide-
narrative-music projects which replaced
commencement speakers (1961-85)). Yet
every time I play Take Five it comes on
as fresh as spring.
It is impossible to compare the music
of Brubeck and Van Cliburn. Why should
anyone want to? Music is its own inven-
tion, and it doesnt much matter who the
musicians are as long as they are well pre-
pared and give us something. And there
was plenty of that going on back in the
middle of the 20th century. The music of
these two American icons will surely sur-
vive the 21st century too.

School teacher.

Mothers Day will be here
Sunday and while going out
to dinner can be very special,
a home-cooked meal with love
as a main ingredient is at least equally appreciated.
An excellent menu can be completed by cooks of any level
using the following recipes. The addition of an appetizer, some
rolls or nut bread and beverages of choice would complete the
meal very well.
Party Chicken bakes in the oven, with split boneless, skin-
less chicken breasts wrapped in a slice of bacon, then placed on
a bed of dried beef slices. A mixture of cream of chicken soup
and sour cream is poured over the top before being refriger-
ated a few hours or overnight. Baking takes three hours.
A salad that can be prepared a day ahead of serving, Fruit
Salad combines canned pineapple chunks and mandarin
oranges with apples, bananas and green or red grapes. It is
dressed with a mixture of fruit juices, cornstarch and some
juice drained from the canned fruit, cooked together and
added to the fruit while hot. Once cooled, the salad goes into
the refrigerator until serving time.
Ginger-Glazed Carrots add color and variety to the menu.
Baby carrots can be used, or sticks cut from regular carrots.
Once cooked tender-crisp, the carrots nish in a mixture of
butter, ground ginger and honey. They have just a bit of sweet-
ness, making them very tasty and attractive with their shiny
nish.
A recipe from a 1950 church cookbook, Wellesley Fudge
Cake makes two layers that can be lled and frosted with the
cooks choice, but traditionally it was covered with a dark fudge
frosting and topped with chopped walnuts. Cake our is essen-
tial. Four ounces of melted chocolate are combined with sugar,
eggs, butter, our, leavening, milk, chopped nuts and vanilla.
The layers bake in 30 minutes. The whole cake could be pre-
pared successfully the day before serving and some vanilla ice
cream would only make it taste better.
PARTY CHICKEN
4 large whole chicken breasts
8 slices bacon
4 ounces dried beef slices, from a jar or package
1 15-ounce can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; set aside.
Split, bone and skin chicken breast; wrap each with
a strip of raw bacon. Cover bottom of pan with slices of
dried beef, using all of it. Combine soup and sour cream;
pour over chicken. Cover and refrigerate at least three
hours. Remove from refrigerator and bring to room tem-
perature. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Uncover and bake
at 275 degrees for three hours. Serves eight.
FRUIT SALAD
1 20-ounce can pineapple chunks
1 11-ounce can mandarin oranges
2 apples, diced
2 bananas, sliced
1 cup green or red grapes, halved
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup juice from oranges
3/4 cup juice from pineapple
Drain canned fruit, retaining juice separately.
Combine canned and fresh fruit in large bowl. In
saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in lemon,
orange and pineapple juices. Stir and bring to boil; cook
one minute, until thick. Stir into fruit while hot. Cool,
uncovered. Cover and store in refrigerator.
GINGER-GLAZED CARROTS
16 baby carrots or equivalent carrot sticks
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons honey
Boil carrots in water until just tender-crisp. If car-
rots are thick, they can be slit lengthwise before cooking.
Drain well.
In heavy skillet, melt butter, stir in ginger and honey.
Add carrots and cook and stir carefully over low heat,
turning often, until glazed.
WELLESLEY FUDGE CAKE
6 tablespoons butter

4 squares melted bittersweet chocolate
2 cups cake our
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9-inch round
cake pans; set aside.
Cream butter and sugar until uffy; add eggs and
mix well. Add melted chocolate gradually. Sift cake our,
measure and add salt and baking powder. Add dry ingre-
dients to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in
chopped nuts and vanilla.

She said any sound that
remotely resembled gun re
or explosions could have her
on the oor cowering in fear.
Any sudden movements by
people in her vicinity, shout-
ing, would send her into a
panic attack. She said the
only thing helping her was
her treatment she was receiv-
ing at the veterans hospital.
Wanting to move her past
the traumatic experiences
she shared with me, I asked
about her income and her
lease. She showed me her out-
standing bills and a quote for
her car repairs. She was very
organized and her apartment
was extremely neat.
When I commented on
this, she said it was learned
from her military training. I
asked if I could look around,
wanting to check for any
traces of substance abuse.
She was smart enough to
know what I was looking for
and told me outright that I
would not nd any alcohol or
drugs in her apartment. After
opening several nearly empty
cabinets and an empty refrig-
erator I felt she was being
honest.
She said, My father was
a mean alcoholic and is the
reason I joined the military.
The last thing I want in my life
is to be like him. I spent most
my life trying to get away
from him. I asked about the
job offer and she was excited
to tell me about it. She said
she had bookkeeping skills
and liked the fact she had her
own small ofce without any
windows. I commented that
most people would not like
that setting but she said she
liked the quiet atmosphere
when she went for her job
interview.
They wanted her to begin
the following week but she
still did not have the security
deposit needed for the new
apartment. I asked if I could
call the new employer to con-
rm her job. She handed me
the phone number and said,
I read how you check things
out when you help. I made
the call and her new supervi-
sor was very helpful.
When I told her we
would be proud to help a
veteran, that we would help
make it possible for her to
move where she could con-
tinue to improve daily and
we would make sure her car
was repaired to safe working
order, she began to cry again.
She said, I usually do
not cry like this. I thought
the military had toughened
me up to the point I could
no longer cry, yet here I am
crying twice in one day with
you. My counselor would be
happy to see my progress
here. With that she smiled
for the rst time since I met
her. I smiled back and told
her I was glad that we were
able to help her in more ways
than just nancially.
After her car was
repaired she was on her way
to her new life in Madison.
She called me several weeks
later to thank us for making it
possible. She told me how she
was able to attend more ses-
sions and had begun her new
job. She was very happy with
the changes in her life. She
even had made a few friends.
Her life was no longer spent
worrying about what might
trigger her PTSD. It now was
centered on living a mean-
ingful life.
Together we do good
works, as we continue to
remove the pains of poverty
for those in desperate need.
Together we restore hope and
faith in the goodness of cre-
ation.
Health and Happiness,
