Court of Appeals rules preliminary hearing legal in OBrien case
Abuse case heads back to county
By Robert Ireland
RIreland@lakegenevanews.net
A Bloomeld couple accused of abusing
their adopted children have failed to have
the state Court of Appeals overturn sev-
eral decisions made by a local judge.
Kathleen M. OBrien, 50, has been
charged with four felony and seven misde-
meanor charges of child abuse. Martin P.
OBrien, 50, has been charged with seven
felony and ve misdemeanor charges of
child abuse.
The OBrien case has received interna-
tional media attention.
The couple is accused
of abusing their six
adopted children, four
of whom are from the
former Soviet Union.
The OBriens pleaded not
guilty Sept. 19, 2012.
According to the
criminal complaint,
Kathleen allegedly used
pepper spray on one of
the adopted children and
stabbed another in the hand with a knife.
Martin is accussed of
hitting one of the chil-
dren in the face, chok-
ing a child and striking
one of the children in the
genitals with his knee.
The pair, according to
the criminal complaint,
also allegedly forced the
children to stand on a
porch naked and locked
them in a room for days.
The criminal pro-
ceedings in Walworth County against
the OBriens have been on hold while the
Court of Appeals reviewed the case. As of
press time, a new hearing date hasnt been
scheduled.
Court of appeals decision
The OBriens objected to the use of
hearsay evidence during their preliminary
hearing. During a preliminary hearing,
a judge must determine whether there is
enough probable cause for the case to pro-
ceed. The judge also rules in the light most
favorable to the state.
During the OBriens preliminary hear-
ing, only one witness, Bloomeld Investi-
gator Lori Domino, testied.

Circus
returns to
Lake Lawn
Delavans history is deeply rooted in the circus.
From the elephant, giraffe and lion exhibit in down-
towns Tower Park, to the rumors heard at the cafes of ele-
phant bones being buried at the bottom of Delavan lake,
everywhere one turns the communitys tradition of the
circus is on full display.
For one day, that tradition will come alive and the
circus will return to Delavan.
On Sunday, July 28, the Carson & Barnes Circus is
coming to Lake Lawn Resort and will perform two shows,
one at 2 p.m. and the other at 5 p.m.
The Carson & Barnes Circus will delight audiences on
the resorts historic grounds with acts including elephants,
camels, clowns, acrobats, aerialists, horses, jugglers, ying
trapeze artists, a petting zoo, plus a variety of other per-
formances, according to a press release from Lake Lawn
Resort.
To bring the big top back to Delavan, Lake Lawn Resort
partnered with the Delavan Historical Society. The perfor-
mance will be on the grounds of the Lake Lawn Airport,
which once housed Mabies Circus and Menagerie.
The historical signicance of Mabies Circus and
Menagerie is something we want to celebrate with our
guests and the Delavan community, said David Sekeres,
Lake Lawn General Manager. We hope that bringing the
circus back and reliving all the big top traditions will be a
magnet for area guests.
In 1847 Edmund and Jeremiah Mabie established the
circus headquarters on what is now Lake Lawn.
Mabie Circus and Menagerie ended in 1867 when Jer-
emiah Mabie died.

THE CARSON & BARNES CIRCUS is coming to Lake Lawn

New gym built, old gym
transformed at East View
By Kelly Meyerhofer
Special to the Regional News
People describe Wisconsin weather as almost winter,
winter, still winter, and construction. From the looks of
Eastview Elementary School, its clear to Wisconsinites
that construction season, er, summer is certainly under
way.
A stroll through Eastview school with principal Drew
Hablesma revealed what has been completed in just over
a month. While the construction started on the rst day
of summer vacation, the new gym expansion began in
March.
But Eastview is not getting just an athletic addition to
the north end.
The old gym has been transformed into a library com-
plete with four large windows. The staff lounge, special
education room and new computer lab have been con-
structed. The ceiling and ooring have been ripped out
and the new gym received fresh paint on July 10.
All of the renovations are to accommodate the grade
readjustment between Eastview and Central Denison next
school year. Both schools currently house K4 through fth
grade. Come September, fourth- and fth-graders will
spend their days at Eastview while the younger students
will be taught at Central-Denison.
We were ahead of schedule. The rain set us back a
bit in June so we had to get the moisture out so the wood
oors wouldnt buckle, Hablesma said. But were still on
schedule.

LYONS
By Chris Schultz
cschultz@lakegenevanews.net
LYONS It took nearly an hour and a
half for the bus to travel from south Chi-
cago to Rustic Falls Camp, a little oasis of
grass, trees, and peace and quiet near Lake
Geneva.
And it would take about that long to get
back.
In between the trips
out of and back into the
city, about 55 Chicago-
area youngsters would
get about four hours of
peace, quiet, lunch and
simple fun during a hot
summer Saturday, July
13.
Temperatures were
in the 80s, and with the
humidity it felt hotter.
But the heat and heavy
air didnt seem to slow
the youngsters down at all, as they shot bas-
kets, kicked soccer balls and just plain ran
around to check out the grounds around a
renovated 150-year-old stone farm house.
Bug spray, however, was in great
demand.
The camp is just ve miles east of Lake
Geneva, on Cranberry Road in the town of
Lyons. It was created by Eric Lentz and his
wife, Deanna Hallagan, of Skokie, Ill.
The 55 youngsters, from some of the
meanest streets in Chicago, were on a trip
sponsored by Marillac House, a social ser-
vice agency run by the Daughters of Charity
in Chicago.
They are in a program called Hope
Junior for kids ages 6 to 18, said Hallagan,
who has been a social worker at Marillac for
23 years.
Marillac House, on Chicagos south
side, provides recreation and a secure place
to meet and socialize for up to 400 kids a
day, ve days a week.
The goal of the visit was simply to get
the youngsters out of the city, said Hal-
lagan. Over the July 4 weekend, 72 people
were shot and killed in separate incidents
throughout Chicago. Many of those shoot-
ings happened in the neighborhoods where
these youngsters live, she said.
Kids went hiking in the woods sur-
rounding Rustic Falls and then, just before
lunch, took turns on a slip and slide.
Its good to be at Rustic Falls, said
Jadari Ames, 11. You dont got to worry
about guns and shooting. You got peace of
mind.
Lentz said he watches the kids atti-
tudes and actions change as they go from
the streets of south Chicago into the woods
around Rustic Falls.
These kids tend to have a hard
demeanor, even the little ones, Lentz said.
Then we bring them out here and theyre
11-year-olds again.
He said the program will bring young-
sters up in groups of eight to 10 to stay over-
night on weekends.
The camp is supported through the
nonprot Frank Lentz Foundation, named
after Erics late father, who was a child psy-
chologist in the Naperville School District.
The center of the camp is the two-story
eldstone farmhouse, which has been reno-
vated and restored with mostly volunteer
effort to sleep up to eight.
Surrounding the ve-acre Rustic Falls
Camp is 87 acres of the old Drumlin farm
now owned by the Seno Woodland Educa-
tion Center. Seno and Rustic Falls have a
mutual use agreement. Guests of Rustic
Falls can hike the Seno grounds, and guests
of Seno can use the facilities at Rustic
Falls.
Lentz said Rustic Falls has two to three
groups visit every month. The Frank Lentz
Foundation has established connections
with several social and medical service
agencies in Illinois and Wisconsin.
Rustic Falls Nature Camp is a custom-
ized camp experience for small groups.
The goal of the camp is to create unique
outdoor experiences for at-risk youth,
cancer survivors and physically and men-
tally challenged children and adults. Each
camp is tailored to the special needs of each
group.

From the inner city to rural Rustic Falls
CHRIS SCHULTZ/REGIONAL NEWS
ON THE PATH for a little adventure, these youngsters enjoy a ower bordered walkway
through the grounds around Rustic Falls Camp in the town of Lyons during a July 13 eld
trip. These youngsters are from Marillac House, a Chicago social service agency. Eric Lentz,
who co-owns the camp with his social worker wife, Deanna Hallagan, said kids from the
inner city have a hard demeanor. Then we bring them out here and theyre 11-year-olds

By Chris Schultz
The police-school liaison ofcer posi-
tion will continue at Badger High School
next year, but when staff or students go to
the liaison ofcers station in the school
theyll be greeted by a new face.
Ofcer Kara Richardson will be patrol-
ling the halls at Badger and answering calls
to other schools starting the 2013-14 school
year.
Richardson, a six-year veteran of the
Lake Geneva Police Department, is taking
over for Ofcer Ralph Braden who retired
earlier this month.
Police Chief Michael Rasmussen said
Richardson was one of two candidates who
vied for the position. The two candidates
were interviewed by both the Badger High
School Board and by ofcers in the depart-
ment and Richardson came out on top, he
said.
The liaison position is funded half by the
police department and half by the school,
Rasmussen said.
I always wanted to work with juve-
niles, Richardson said. I think its impor-
tant to have a positive rst encounter with
a child. Its important that children know
that the police are there to help them.
There are differences in how police of-
cers are received in the different schools.
Walk into an elementary school, and
everyone loves you, she said.
In middle school, the kids might still
respect police ofcers, but theyre more
standofsh.
At the high school level, the uniform
earns you nothing. The liaison ofcer earns
his or her respect, Richardson said.
The school teaches academics, Rich-
ardson said. The school liaison teaches
life lessons. Because once they leave those
walls (of the high school) things are a little
harsher.
In accepting the position, Richardson
had to make a commitment of four to six
years. She said she hopes she goes the full
six years.
Richardson said she shadowed Braden
for six weeks starting in April, as he
patrolled the high school and interacted
with the students.
After two weeks, I was smitten, she
said.
Richardson said shes already orga-
nizing her paperwork for her move to the
liaison ofcers station in the high school,
scheduled for early September.
Once the department had two liaison
ofcers, one in the K-8 grades and the other
in the high school
But shrinking revenues limits the dis-
trict and police department to just one liai-
son ofcer, the one at the high school. Rich-
ardson said she will be called to the other
schools if a situation arises, but her main
ofce will be at Badger.
While gangs are no longer as serious
a problem as they were when Braden rst
started the liaison program, they are still a
problem.
But the job always seems to bring up
something new every day, Richardson said.
There are issues with truancy and dis-
orderly students, she said.
Some make bad decisions and use
drugs before they come to school, she
said. It doesnt happen often, but it does
happen.
She said the liaison is kept constantly
busy.
You usually dont get a lot of down
time and quiet time, she said. That means
paperwork must be done piecemeal, with
the ofcer leaving paperwork to deal with
student issues, and then returning to the
paperwork to complete it later.
Multitasking is a must, she said.
Richardson had nothing but praise for
the program Braden has left behind.
Ive been set up fabulously, she said.
She said the safety plans for the Lake
Geneva high school and elementary schools
are ahead of their time.
She said her job will be to maintain the
program and tweak it as needed.
Richardson is a 1999 graduate of Racine
Park High School. She attended the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she
took courses in accounting. It may seem
a stretch, going from bean counter to cop,
but Richardson said her accounting classes
were intended to get her into the FBI.
Actually, taking the accounting courses
at UWM was aimed at a law enforcement
career.
However, her father later told her that if
she entered the FBI as an accountant, she
would spend her days in an ofce shufing
papers.
Then I realized I dont want to sit
behind a desk all day, Richardson said.
She went to Gateway Technical College in
Racine and earned her certication as a
police ofcer.
Law enforcement runs in her family.
Her father is a retired Racine County
Sheriffs deputy. Her late grandfather was a
sergeant in the Racine Police Department.
Richardson said that when she was
attending police academy at Gateway, one
of the instructors, who was a Lake Geneva
police ofcer, suggested she apply at Lake
Geneva as a reserve ofcer.
Once she graduated from the academy,
Richardson said, she applied at the Racine
Police Department, but she also applied at
Lake Geneva.
And she hoped to get the Lake Geneva
position.
I didnt want to stay in Racine, Rich-
ardson said. I wanted to be in a more rural
area.
She said that when Lake Geneva offered
her a fulltime police position, she jumped
at the chance.
Richardsons parents are Ronald and
Christiana Eckert of Racine.
She is married to Brad Richardson, who
is chief information ofcer for Platinum
Systems, a computer networking company
in Kenosha. The Richardsons live in Linn
and have an 8-year-old son.
Richardson to step in as school liaison
Its important that
children know that
the police are there
to help them, Kara
Richardson, the new
Badger Liason ofcer.
For now, Hablesma
identies the next two
weeks as very important.
The new carpeting and
ceiling will be installed. In
mid-August, Eastview will
get new furniture.
The heavily-talked
about new gym will mirror
Star Center Schools gym
and will seat 350 people,
said Hablesma.
The addition will com-
plement the new intramu-
ral sports program. East-
view students will have the
opportunity to participate
in basketball, track, cross-
country and volleyball.
Its not just Hablesma
who is excited for the
coming school years new
offerings.
Central Denison prin-
cipal Betsy Schroeder
said the transition will be
an improvement for both
schools and provide greater
opportunities for collabo-
ration and instructional
improvement.

Carson and Barnes is a traveling circus
with shows scheduled every day during the
next three weeks in Wisconsin and Iowa.

starting at 9:30 a.m. Visitors will also be
welcomed to the grounds with a free pet-

Circus/Visitors can watch setup
Domino had watched interviews the
children had with a forensic interviewer
at the Walworth County Child Advocacy
Center
The ofcer had no personal knowl-
edge of any of the alleged offenses, and
simply testied about hearsay statements
in the complaint, the appeal led by the
OBriens attorneys stated. The investiga-
tor admitted that the complaint contained
signicant factual gaps and the incidents
described were only summaries, not ver-
batim accounts.
The defense attorneys representing the
OBriens are Pamela Moorshead of Glen-
dale and Kathleen Stilling of Brookeld.
The Court of Appeals disagreed with the
defense attorneys.
We note that the United States
Supreme Court long ago upheld the issu-
ance of a grand jury indictment when all
of the evidence before the grand jury was
hearsay, the appeal states. As the court
there observed, a rule permitting defen-
dants to challenge indictments on the
grounds that they are not supported by
adequate or competent evidence would
transform the grand jury proceeding into
a kind of preliminary trial to determine
the competency and adequacy of the evi-
dence.
Before the preliminary hearing, the
OBriens moved to preclude hearsay evi-
dence during the hearing, which Judge
John Race denied.
The state also moved to quash a sub-
poena that was issued to one of the victims
in the case.
Race ruled in favor of the state.
During the preliminary hearing, the
OBriens attempted to call one of the vic-
tims, who is now an adult but was a child
during the alleged abuse.
However, during the hearing, Assistant
District Attorney Diane Donohoo argued
that he shouldnt have to testify because
the previous witness, Domino, already had
established probable cause.
OBriens/Only one witness, an investigator, testified at preliminary hearing
"Working with ReelLifeTVwas so easy. During one short visit to the store,
they took beautiful photos and video which became a great commercial
highlighting my business' strong points. I would highly recommend every
business in the Lakes Area makes a commercial with ReelLifeTV."

Five want to be next Linn supervisor
By Steve Targo
steve@lakegenevanews.net
LINN Five people applied to ll the vacant town
supervisor spot, and four of them should be familiar to
those who follow local politics.
On July 17, Town Chairman Jim
Weiss said Allan Polyock, N146 Bissel
Road; Tom Jacobs, N2008 S. Lake Shore
Drive; Bonnie Cornue, W4828 Lakeville
Road; Roy White, N1978 Birches Drive;
and John Larkin, W3675 Hartshorne
Lane, submitted letters of interest for
the supervisors spot formerly held by
Jeanne Allis.
Hopefully, by the end of the month,
well be able to conduct interviews,
Weiss said.
He said he hopes a new supervisor
will be appointed by the time of the regular board meeting
in August.
Of the ve candidates, Jacobs has the most years of
experience. A former longtime town supervisor, his last
stint on the board began in September 2010.
This was after the minor board shakeup following then
town chairman Dave Bollwegs resigna-
tion.
The board had appointed Weiss
who at that time was a supervisor
to ll the chairmans spot. Jacobs was
appointed to ll Weiss supervisor spot.
In December 2010, Jacobs had led a
noncandidacy statement.
Polyock has logged in experience as
a town of Linn chairman and Walworth
County supervisor.
He has sought to return to the town
board several times.
Most recently, Polyock ran against
Allis in the spring 2012 election, but
lost.
Cornue is also a familiar name in
town. She is a longtime Reek School
Board member, having served several
years as its president. Also, she serves
on the towns public parks committee.
White, a member of the towns pro-
tective services committee, also was a
candidate in this springs race for the
supervisors position formerly held by
Terry Woods. White lost to Craig DeYoung.
On Monday, Linn Town Clerk-Treasurer Sue Polyock
said Larkin has not held an elected or appointed position
in town government before.
However, of the ve, Larkin is the only resident of the
north shore region of Linn.
Wheres Allis?
Allis, the sole north shore representative on the Linn
Town Board, resigned in May.
It is with great sadness I am announcing my request to
resign from the town of Linn board as I unfortunately will
no longer be a Linn resident and meet residency require-
ments to be on the board, Allis said in a May 17 email to
town ofcials. My family and I, however, are not moving
far, as we will be residents of Fontana.
Allis was rst elected town supervisor in 2008, suc-
cessfully challenging Christine Jones. She was re-elected
in an uncontested race in 2010, then won her bid for re-
election in 2012.
Previously, she had been vocal about the north shores
desire to improve response times from emergency person-
nel.

50 project progresses without many complaints
By Steve Targo
steve@lakegenevanews.net
GENEVA Ed Brzinski, the administrator at Woods
School, said he was nervous about the Highway 50 proj-
ect.
Theres a difcult trafc situation at pickup time for
us, he said, adding there are quite a few cars at the start
and end of each school day.
Woods School is at the corner of Highway 50 and Snake
Road. Its likely the reason why theres a lot of trafc in that
intersection.
Add to that the concerns over workers tearing up
chunks of road and the Department of Transportation
temporarily reducing the four-lane highway to two lanes,
its understandable that Brzinski would be nervous.
But he had nothing but good news to report last
month.
Weve been fortunate and I think the increased
patience, people driving slower, has certainly helped, Brz-
inski said.
He said he has received no complaints and experienced
no major headaches from the project.
I think being involved with the DOT early on and talk-
ing to them, theyve taken into consideration the needs of
this intersection very well, Brzinski said.
He said the DOT has been communicating with
Woods.
Attempts to obtain comments from Jacob Rosbeck and
Michael Pyrick DOT personnel attached to the project
were unsuccessful by press time.
But its clear the project is progressing.
Recently, the lanes of trafc during the project have
switched from the eastbound to westbound lanes of High-
way 50.
This was announced in statements posted on the web-
sites for the towns of Linn and Geneva, the two communi-
ties in which this four-mile stretch of highway is located.
The DOT is milling and resurfacing the roadway,
adding left turn lanes for median openings and left- and
right-turn lanes at the intersections.
On April 23, DOT project manager Gary Metzer told
the Regional News that drainage culverts and storm sewers
are being replaced as the project progresses.
Metzer also said the project also calls for rebuilding a
1,000-foot stretch of road near Geneva Ridge Resort.
The sight distance will be improved so that when
youre driving along, the road doesnt disappear, he said.
Although Metzer said there should be minimal dis-
ruption, there have been a few trafc accidents.

JOHN HALVERSON/
REGIONAL NEWS
IN JUNE, the Highway
50 work was done in the
westbound lane and trafc
was reduced to the east-
bound lanes. Recently, that
changed. Now, highway
trafc travels over the west-
bound lanes, so workers
can mill and resurface the
eastbound lanes.
On June 13, Geneva
Town Clerk-Treasurer Deb
Kirch and Highway Super-
intendent Randy Parker
said they also received a
couple minor complaints,
but both were addressed.
One of the complaints
was that Dummer Drive
was cut open to install a
culvert, but not enough
sand was placed to ll the
gap.
As the start of the next
school year approaches,
Brzinski said he still
remains concerned about
safety.
According to state-
ments on town websites,
the project is expected to
be nished mid-October.
He said they will include
project information in the
welcome back letter that
is sent to parents.
One of the things weve
been trying to do is have
parents avoid making left
turns and have parents use
Snake Road, Brzinski said.
Its a bit of a longer drive,
but its a pretty drive.
Geneva Lake separates the north shore region from the
south shore, which is where emergency personnel are sta-
tioned. In September 2012, Allis said there was confusion
over whether the north shore region was covered.
This was the issue that prompted me to run, she said
previously.
In her May 17 email, Allis mentioned the issue again,
as well as others.
I will continue to keep an interest in the things that we
supported together over the years, (such as) better cover-
age of services for all of Linn residents while supporting
more open space to keep (the town) the friendly and green
community that has made us a unique and close-knit com-
munity. Allis was chairperson of the Harbor Commission
and Public Parks Committee in Linn. She also was co-chair
of the towns Plan Commission.
He pulled his vehicle away from the stop sign, head-
ing east on Twin Lakes, and pulled out in front of a vehicle
driven north on Highway U by a female motorist. Her vehi-
cle struck his, and she suffered back pain from the crash.
She was taken to receive medical treatment.
n The male driver of a Ford Focus was cited for inat-
tentive driving after a two-vehicle accident July 1 at 5:33
p.m. near the intersection of Highway H and Lake Geneva
Highway.
According to police, the Focus driver was traveling
south on Highway H when he looked down at his speed-
ometer and looked up when it was too late. He struck a
gray Honda which was being driven by someone who had
stopped on Highway H while waiting to turn onto Lake
Geneva Highway.
n A male motorist was cited for driving too fast for con-
ditions after a two-vehicle accident June 28 at 5:41 p.m. on
Highway H near Litcheld Road. He was driving a 2007
Toyota southeast on Highway H when he struck a silver
2002 Chevrolet vehicle that was stopped while its female
driver was attempted to turn into a driveway. The Chevro-
let sustained moderate rear-end damage. The Toyota sus-
tained severe front-end damage.
n Police reported a three-vehicle accident June 22 at
5 p.m. at the Nippersink Pro Shop, N1055 Tombeau Road.
Someone driving a red Dodge Intrepid backed into two
other vehicles. Further information was not reported.
n Two appliances were stolen after someone broke into
an unoccupied, for-sale residence between June 5 and 18
on Highway H. According to police, a refrigerator worth
$849 and a stove worth $499 were stolen. There were no
signs of forced entry, but the front door was unlocked when
a real estate agent arrived to show the residence.
n Police are investigating the theft of $174.39 worth of
groceries reported stolen June 17 at 8 a.m. from Lakeside
Woodland home, W913 Washington Ave.
n Police are investigating a complaint reported July 2
at 7:15 p.m. that someone stole $500 from another person
at a Powers Lake Road residence.

person apparently was seen attempting to enter someones
vehicle. The suspect ed the scene on foot, running north
on Hemlock Road, and did not enter the vehicle.
n Someone damaged a vehicle the evening of June
17 while it was parked at a Florence Road residence. The
damage was done to the front drivers side wheel well.
n Someone took a wallet that contained $20 and a pack
of cigarettes from a vehicle parked at a Cedar Road resi-
dence before July 15 at 9:20 a.m.
n Two scaffolding planks were reported stolen some
time between the evening of July 8 and the morning of July
9 from Huml Storage, N1989 Schaitel Road.

GENOA CITY/ BLOOMFIELD/ LAKE GENEVA
Petitioners attorney plans to meet with DAs ofce
By Robert Ireland
GENOA CITY The attorney represent-
ing citizens who circulated a petition
demanding direct legislation plans to meet
with a member of the District Attorneys
Ofce regarding the village boards recent
action to make that effort useless.
On July 11, the village board approved
an ordinance that requires a referendum
election for projects costing more than $2
million. The petition demanded that proj-
ects that cost more than $500,000 be put
to referendum.
Attorney Steven Wassel of Wassel,
Harvey & Schuk LLP, Delavan, is repre-
senting the group that circulated the peti-
tion. On July 18, he said that he wouldnt
be willing to discuss his plans publicly
because of the legal strategy involved.
I advised the village attorney that I
will be meeting with the District Attorneys
Ofce on the matter, Wassel said. I plan
on doing that quickly.
On July 11, Village Attorney Linda Gray
said a petition requiring referendum for
capital improvement projects isnt legal if it
conicts with an existing ordinance.
The petition didnt conict with an
existing ordinance until, on July 11, the
board approved an ordinance requiring
referendums for projects that cost more
than $2 million. The petition was turned
over to the village earlier that afternoon.
Gray didnt return a phone call seeking
comment on Wassels plan to meet with the
District Attorneys Ofce.
A direct legislation petition needs 15
percent of the number of people who voted
in the last gubernatorial election to sign it.
The village clerk has 15 days to certify the
petition. Because the petition wasnt yet
certied, it wasnt valid.
Village President reacts
Village President Bill Antti said the vil-
lage acted with the advice of its attorney,
and he doesnt believe that anything illegal
or improper occurred during the meeting.
We went through with the advice of
our counsel, Antti said. I dont think there
was anything illegal about it. I think what
they were trying to do would have been ter-
rible for the village.
Residents circulated the petition
because of concerns about property taxes
in the village, and because the village cre-
ated subcommittee to study the village
hall.
The subcommittee is looking at either
repairing the existing building, construct-
ing a new village hall or modifying an
existing building to become the new vil-
lage hall. Neither the village board or the
subcommittee has made any ofcial rec-
ommendation.
Antti said the way the petition was
worded, the village would need to receive
referendum approval before obtaining
quotes from engineers and other profes-
sionals. This, he said, would make putting
projects to referendum difcult because
the village typically has to spend money on
engineers to obtain quotes for projects.
He said the village board would have to
guess at costs on the ballot, and hope that
the project doesnt exceed estimates.
It would have been terrible, Antti
said. We couldnt x any roads if they cost
over $500,000 or even if they came close
we couldnt take a chance or we would be
breaking an ordinance.
The petition was circulated by Heidi
Crow. Crow is the daughter of former Vil-
lage President Chuck Schuren, who also
assisted in circulating the petition.
Antti said Schuren was the village pres-
ident when the Tax Increment District was
created, which Antti said is major reason
the villages taxes are as high as they are
now.
It is kind of ironic that he is worried
about taxes now, but not then, Antti said.
I think he probably had good intentions
when he did that, it just didnt work out as
well as he thought.
The TID is scheduled to close this year,
which is expected to lower taxes in the vil-
lage. The timing of the village hall project
has been aligned with the TID closure.
If changes to the village hall are
approved at the same time as the TID
closure, overall village taxes should still
decrease.
I dont like paying high taxes any more
than anyone else, Antti said.
I dont think there
was anything illegal
about it. I think what
they were trying to do
would have been ter-
rible for the village,
Village President Bill
Antti said.
Woman charged in Bloomeld stabbing
A 41-year-old Bloomeld woman is accused of stabbing
her live-in boyfriend in the shoulder with a kitchen knife on
June 23 after the two had been arguing.
Michelle C. Meinen, N1217 W. Lake Shore Dr., faces felony
charges of rst-degree reckless injury and battery, both as
domestic abuse incidents.
If convicted, Meinen faces up to 31 years imprisonment
and $110,000 in nes.
Jonathan P. Giese, 39, was rst transported to Lakeland
Medical Center for treatment, but was own by Flight For Life
to Froedert Hospital, Wauwatosa, after his lung collapsed as
a result of the stabbing, according to the criminal complaint.
After the incident, the Bloomeld Police Department
issued a press release stating police would refer criminal
charges against both Meinen and Giese.
The Bloomeld police referred charges to prosecutors
against Giese for misdemeanor battery and disorderly con-
duct and felony strangulation and suffo-
cation.
As of Tuesday, the Walworth County
District Attorneys ofce hasnt led
charges against Giese.
Meinen is free from custody on a sig-
nature bond.
According to the criminal complaint:
At 9:45 p.m. police responded to the
home after receiving a report of a stab-
bing. The ofcer met Giese in the drive-
way, and Gieses shirt was soaked in
blood. He told police that he had been
stabbed.
The ofcer lifted up Gieses shirt and saw a stab wound
that was about two inches long. Inside of the home, police
spoke to Meinen, who said she used a kitchen knife to stab
Giese.
Meinen told police she had washed the knife, but she
didnt remember which knife she used. Police reported that
Meinen smelled of alcohol and that her eyes were bloodshot
and glassy.
A witness told police that Giese had called him on the
phone. While on the phone with Giese, the witness heard
Giese and Meinen arguing.
The witness also heard Meinen threaten to stab Giese and
Giese reply go ahead and stab me. He then heard Giese say
Augh, as if he was in pain, before he hung up the phone.
Between ve to 10 minutes later, the witness received a call
from Meinen, who said the police were outside and that she
was probably going to jail.
On June 25, Investigator Lori Domino interviewed
Meinen. Meinen said that she and Giese had been arguing.
Meinen said that Giese picked up a pan of out water off of the
stove and threw it across the room.
Meinen said she thought she nicked Giese with the knife.

LGRN les open records request
GENOA CITY The Lake Geneva Regional News has led an open records request
for any communications that village ofcials received or sent regarding the village hall
project, direct legislation or the citizens petition for direct legislation.
The open records request was sent to the six village trustees, Village President Bill
Antti and the Village Clerk-Treasurer Claudia Jurewicz.
The request that was sent out July 18 is for all letters and electronic communica-
tions (emails) sent or received by you, (the record custodian), regarding the village hall
project, direct legislation and the citizens petition, the request states. The request is
for any correspondence that occurred between Jan. 1, and July 18.
Former alderwoman concerned about beach refunds
Reserve ofcers get raise
Only two items created discussion at the Lake Geneva
City Council meeting Tuesday night.
One was approval of wages for reserve police of-
cers. These are police ofcers who are used in the summer
to walk or ride bicycles in the downtown and beach areas.
Their raises amounted to 6.5 percent going from $15.36
per hour to $16.36. They hadnt received a pay increase
since 2011. Comparable positions from other communities
were used to support the increase.
There was also a question raised during the public com-
ment period by former city councilwoman Mary Jo Fesen-
maier. She was concerned about an item in the monthly
expenses of $14,081 for beach refunds. She wondered if
proper bookkeeping procedures had been followed.
City Administrator Dennis Jordan explained that
refunds are for people who put bills into the beach kiosks
that are larger than the amount they owned.
For instance, if they put in a $20 bill for a $7 beach
pass, theyre owed $13. The kiosks dont make change,
so users receive a receipt saying how much theyre owed.
They redeem that receipt for the balance when they enter
the beach. All receipts are kept as are a calculation of how
many people enter the beach area, Jordan said.
Former city council person Terry ONeill echoed Fes-
enmaiers concerns about the beach issue during his turn
during the open comment period.
He also repeated previous concerns relating to the
Peller property. Peller Investments Inc. and Lake Geneva
recently settled a special assessment case involving the
Edwards Boulevard extension. In March 2012, Walworth
County Judge James Carlson ruled that the city has
improperly assessed the Peller property.
ONeill indicated that no one was ever held responsible
for such problems.
I dont expect any action on this nor do I expect it to
be reported in the newspaper, he said.

TOWN OF LINN
Discover Wisconsin visits Black Point
By Jade Bolack
JBolack@lakegenevanews.net
TOWN OF LINN Nearly everything
inside the Black Point estate is original.
The furniture, the pictures and the exterior
paint colors.
The historical site has a new director,
though, with backing from the state.
David A. Desimone was selected ear-
lier this year to direct operations on the
grounds. In January, the state Histori-
cal Society assumed responsibility for the
estate.
Hes now overseeing tours and making
sure all the artifacts within the house are
cataloged and cared for.
Desimone will also be showcasing the
estate on an episode of Discover Wiscon-
sin, a public broadcasting radio and televi-
sion show touring Wiscon-
sins landmarks.
A lm crew from Dis-
cover Wisconsin was at the
estate July 15.
Mariah Haberman, a host
on the show, said the episode
wont air until next June.
Black Point is one of the
four featured historical sites
the show is doing in the next
season, she said. It takes
almost that whole year for us
to process the video and produce it.
Black Point was chosen, she said,
because of its uniqueness.
We wanted sites that were really dif-
ferent and unique, Haberman said. This
episode will be part of our 27th season,
and well be touring more than 50 destina-
tions, our biggest year ever.
Black Point history
The house was built in 1888 by a beer
magnate, Conrad Seipp. Originally, the
house was just a summer cottage. Seipp
moved much of the familys furniture from
their Chicago residence while building a
new home there.
That furniture is still at Black Point.
The family kept it and added to it.
The property passed into the owner-
ship of the state of Wisconsin in 2006,
when William Petersen, a Chicago attorney
and descendant of Conrad Seipp, signed
the property over to the state.
Public tours of the property began in
June 2007.
Until January of this year, a board of
directors oversaw the operations. This
year, the Wisconsin Historical Society took
over.
Big plans
Desimone said he wants to create more
tour options for the estate.
Plans are in the works to augment
the base tour (the existing boat ride and
grounds tour) with specialty tours like an
architectural tour or a garden tour, he
said. Id also like to create packages with
other historical sites around the lake.
Currently, the tour is
only available by taking a
boat ride from Lake Geneva
and climbing 120 stairs. The
boat ride cuts vehicle trafc
around the estate, but it also
limits the number of visitors
to the site.
Desimone said he thinks
the backing of the state his-
torical society is already
helping increase boat trafc
to the estate.
Theres a higher level of support for
public relations and curators, he said.
The weight of the state historical society
is a pretty good benet for Black Point.
The site has already seen increased
numbers this season.
June 2013 had double the attendance
from the previous June, Desimone said.
The state has seen some publicity in the
New York Times and other media outlets.
Theres also a picture of it on the current
issue of At the Lake magazine.
Desimone said the estate is on-track to
beat previous July records as well.
He likes the way the boat ride trans-
fers people into the tour. The ride allows
people to relax, to really visualize what it
was like when the family lived here, to go
back in time, he said.

Black Point before boarding the Geneva Cruise Lines Yacht Geneva.
Do the guests sit on the original furniture?
According to a docent at
the estate, not all of the fur-
niture on the houses deck is
original.
When William O.
Petersen, the great-grand-
son of the original builder,
decided to donate the house
and grounds to the state, he
asked the state to keep the
wicker furniture on the deck
for tour guests.
At rst, the state refused,
saying the chairs needed to
be preserved.
Petersen bought some
new chairs in the same
style.
He spray painted all the chairs the same color and asked state ofcials to tell
him the difference. Ofcials were unable to tell the difference.
Petersen got his wish.
The green chairs are still on the deck, welcoming tour guests to the home.
NOT ALL THE WICKER CHAIRS Black Point guests
sit in are originals, but some are. Former owner Bill
Petersen painted originals and newer chairs the same
color, so no one could tell them apart.
This episode will
be part of our 27th
season, and well be
touring more than
50 destinations, our
biggest year ever,

LAKE GENEVA NEWS
By Chris Schultz
The private-public partnership program started in Lake
Geneva earlier this year is intended to expand to other com-
munities in Walworth County, said Lake Geneva Fire Capt.
John Peters, who is also head of the citys emergency manage-
ment.
And it appears its starting to attract attention.
The goal of the public private partnership is to increase
communications between businesses and emergency ser-
vices, including police, re and ambulance medical services.
During the June 19 meeting, businesses from Elkhorn
and Delavan were present, as was a police ofcer from Elk-
horn.
Elkhorn Police Chief Joel Christensen said, however, that
the ofcer was there primarily to learn more about the Nixle
program, which the Lake Geneva Police Department is using
to post public safety updates on residents mobiles and com-
puters.
Obviously, we would like to do more, Peters said in a
recent interview. The bigger picture has always been to make
it countywide.
Peters said growth of the program to outside Lake Geneva
was the goal from the beginning when he rst met with Ben
Schliesman from the state emergency management and Wal-
worth County Sheriffs Lt. John Ennis to set up the program.
Im always about partnering, because thats how we win,
he said.
Peters said hes based the Lake Geneva program on one
that Kenosha County has since created.
The group now has a steering committee made up local
business people.
Tammy Carstensen, manager of Harbor Shores, chairs
the partnerships steering committee.
She said she appreciates the increased communication
between emergency services and businesses.
Hopefully, we will all be a step ahead, Carstensen said.
I hope we will all be better informed. We need to be pre-
pared.
At the public/private partnerships meeting last month
at the Riviera, preparedness was a major issue, especially to
deal with extreme circumstances.
Mitch Ross, Milwaukee police ofcer and a liaison with
Milwaukees federal Intelligence Fusion Center, presented
information about remaining safe from workplace violence,
in particular, active shooters and bomb threats.
Active shooters are rare here and terrorism, domestic and
otherwise, almost unheard of, said Ross.
That doesnt mean local businesses and residents shouldnt
be aware that these things may happen, he added.
Active shooters range in age from 11 to senior citizen, said
Ross. Their motivations are many and varied, personal, psy-
chological, nancial, political and even religious.
And there is no way to predict who will be an active
shooter until the person starts shooting, he said.
The three basic rules for an active shooter are:
n Evacuate the building.
Have an escape route and plan in mind and leave your
belongings behind.
n Hide. If you cant evacuate, hide in an area out of the
shooters view. Block entry to your hiding place. Lock the
doors if possible.
n Fight, but only if you cant hide or run away.
This is a last resort and only if your life is in danger.
Ross said that if those threatened by an active shooter need
to ght, make every attempt to incapacitate the shooter. Act
with extreme aggression and assault the shooter by throwing
things or using heavy objects as bludgeons, he said. There is
no such thing as ghting fair.
Also at the meeting were Milwaukee bomb squad mem-
bers ofcers Dan Thompson and Mick Chemlick.
While bombings are infrequent in Walworth County,
bomb threats are made occasionally.
Thompson said if the bomb threat is called in, keep the
person on the line get as long as possible to get as much infor-
mation as possible. Determine whether the caller is male or
female. Notice whether the person speaks with an accent.
Listen whether background noise can be heard.
If the threat is emailed, keep the email.
Keep an eye out for suspicious packages and letters.
Tell-tale signs are stains on the package from something
leaking inside, misspelled names on the address, too much
postage, sounds coming from inside the package, no return
address and no postmark.
If you identify a suspicious package:
n Do not touch or attempt to open the suspicious pack-
age or letter. Do not cover the package. Bomb squad members
want to see what theyre dealing with.
n Dont try to open the item for a peek.
n If the item is suspected to be a bomb, do not use a cell
phone or two-way radio near it. Call police on a land line.
n If the item is believed to contain poison or a contami-
nant, keep it away from windows, doors, fans or vents.
n If evacuation of the building is in order, make sure
everyone uses an exit as far away from the package as pos-
sible.
Lake Geneva Police Lt. Ed Gritzner said police will work
with businesses to set up emergency plans to deal with active
shooter situations and suspicious packages and mail.
The term fusion center may make some think of the
movie Back to the Future, or some other science ction ref-
erence.
But after 911, the newly-created Department of Homeland
Security determined that law enforcement agencies from local
to federal were not communicating in any meaningful way.
The centers are communications exchanges, said Mitch
Ross, Milwaukee police ofcer and a member of Milwaukees
federal Intelligence Fusion Center.
A total of 78 fusion centers were created around the U.S.
to allow law enforcement agencies to communicate on a
national scale.
Each state has at least one center, Ross said.
One of the keys to preventing crime are suspicious activi-
ties reports, or SARs, he said About 80 percent of the crimes
prevented are stopped by people who contact their local
police to report something that seems odd, out of place, or
downright suspicious.
Ross said authorities are urging people who see something
suspicious to say something, even if it isnt a 911 situation.
It may take a while, but authorities can use that informa-
tion to keep crimes from happening or solve old crimes, he
said.
Ross said Wisconsin is home to two fusion centers. one
in Madison and one in Milwaukee.
Municipal, state and federal emergency services agencies
can now share information about dangerous situation, suspi-
cious individuals and locally unsolved crimes, Ross said.
Those who see suspicious activity, but not necessarily ille-
gal, should call, toll free, (877) 949-2824.

Will public, private parternship go countywide?
Fusion centers gather information
on suspicious activities
Wisconsin home to two terrorist attacks
Anyone who thinks acts of terror or manmade
disaster cant happen here, keep in mind that before
the Murrah building bombing of 1995 and the
World Trade Center attack of Sept. 11, 2001, the
Badger state was home to two of the worst act of
domestic terrorism.
In terms of how not to handle a suspicious pack-
age believed to be a bomb, what happened to the
Milwaukee Police Department on Nov. 24, 1917,
should stand as an object lesson.
A social worker found a large, suspicious pack-
age next to an evangelical church in the citys Third
Ward.
The woman dragged the package into the church
basement and called the church janitor.
The janitor took the package to Milwaukees
central police station.
The desk sergeant was showing it to the shift
commander just before a scheduled inspection
when the black powder bomb exploded, killing
nine police ofcers and a civilian.
No one claimed credit. Historians years later
would trace the bomb to a group of anarchists who
were angered by sermons preached by the pastor of
the church where the bomb was found.
For 85 years, it was the single most fatal event in
national law enforcement history.
It would only be surpassed 85 years later by the
Sept. 11, 2001 World Trade Center terrorist attacks
when 72 law enforcement ofcers representing
eight different agencies were killed.
At 3:42 a.m. on Aug. 24, 1970, a bomb inside a
1960 Ford van detonated, devastating Sterling Hall
on the University of Wisconsin campus, damaging
about ve square blocks killing one and injuring
three others.
During the Vietnam War, a part of Sterling Hall
at the University of Wisconsin was occupied by
the Army Mathematics Research Center (AMRC), a
Pentagon-funded think tank.
The stolen Econoline van was lled with about
2,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil.
Pieces of the van were found on top of an eight-
story building three blocks away.
Killed was Richard Fassnacht, who was not a part
of the AMRC. He was a postdoctorate researcher
working on superconductivity in the physics depart-
ment, which was also housed in Sterling. He left a
wife, son and twin daughters.
The three injured men were Paul Quin, also a
physics researcher; David Schuster, a South African
graduate student; and Norbert Sutler, a UW secu-
rity ofcer. Schuster was the most seriously injured,
having been buried in the rubble of Sterling Hall for
three hours before being rescued.
Also destroyed were irreplaceable records of a
quarter century of research and experiments done
on the nature of atomic nuclei.
Despite the damage, the bomb missed the
AMRC, which lost only a days worth of work.
Total damage to the university came to $2.1 mil-
lion (1970 dollars).
Of the bombers, Karleton Armstrong, Dwight
Armstrong and David Fine were all tracked down
and arrested within six years of the bombing and
were sentenced to federal prison terms. All have
since been released. The fourth bomber, Leo Burt,
has never been caught.
Nearly a quarter century later a massive bomb,
similar but more powerful than the Sterling Hall
bomb, destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah federal build-
ing in downtown Oklahoma City.
That bomb was so powerful it claimed 168 lives
and injured more than 680, damaged 324 build-
ings and destroyed 86 vehicles within a 16-block
radius.
Damage was estimated at $652 million (1990s
dollars).
White supremacist Timothy McVeigh, who was
also an Army veteran, was arrested, convicted and
executed for the crime.
Stressing the importance of offering nutritious meals to
children during the summer months, the Lake Geneva Joint
One School District announces the sponsorship of the Summer
Food Service Program.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which is funded
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is admin-
istered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction,
provides nutritious meals to children during the summer, when
free and reduced-price school meals are typically unavailable.
Free meals will be made available to children 18 years of age
and under. Persons over 18 years of age who are determined
by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally
or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or
private non-prot school program during the regular school
year may receive free meals as well.
The following locations will be serving the free meals from
August 5 through August 23:
Star Center Elementary School
W1380 Lake Geneva Hwy, Lake Geneva, WI
Eastview Elementary School
535 Sage Street, Lake Geneva, WI
Central-Denison Elementary School
900 Wisconsin Street, Lake Geneva, WI
Breakfast will be served from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
Meals are provided to eligible children regardless of race,
color, national origin, age, gender or disability, and there will
be no discrimination in the course of meal service.
This program lls a void created when school lunches are
not available, said Ms. Donna Ecklund, School Food Service
Coordinator. Helping parents meet the nutritional needs of
their children is the strength of the program.

LAKE GENEVA NEWS
Story and photos by John Halverson
jhalverson@lakegenevanews.net
LINN The flames were real. The heat was real
up to 400 degrees.
The terrain was the inside of a burning house. Its
treacherous, especially when youre looking through a
gas mask.
The suit youre wearing isnt the kind you wear with
a tie. Its heavy. Everything included, the firefighters are
probably carrying about 300 pounds.
Youd better be able to take orders, too.
You get dressed up in something that resembles a
space suit, feel the heat, risk the terrain and the fire, to
get yelled at.
GET EM IN THERE! GET EM IN THERE!, Grant
Winger Jr. yells.
Winger is the assistant fire chief of the volunteer
fire department for the Town of Linn.As the operations
officer for a controlled burn Saturday, he was the one
barking orders to about 35 firefighters from Linn, Lake
Geneva, Whitewater, Hebron, Fontana and Sharon.
This is just a practice.
A fire drill, but with real fire. Its one fire depart-
ments relish because its difficult to get through the
bureaucracy and paperwork that allows people to donate
their homes to be burned down.
It was practice, but everyone acted like it was real.
For a lot of the firefighters, this is the first real fire
theyve experienced.
They went in in waves, four or five in each one.
They huddle at the door of the house, poised like
paratroopers about to jump from a plane.
When they go theres no exact blueprint. Sure, theyve
been trained. Sure, they know the theory. But they dont
know exactly what theyll face. Nor can you be sure how
youll react if something unexpected happens.
Onlookers were everywhere. On the porches of nearby
homes, on the shoulders of parents. Everyone seemed to
have a camera. Everyone was kept out of harms way.
I was lucky enough to get a closer view. From inside
the burning house.
Safety still came first. Winger was at my side along
with two other aspiring firefighters, one his daughter.
Winger strung a hose inside just in case the flames
got too close for comfort.
Get down, he told us, explaining the heat comes in
layers, the hottest is near the ceiling.
He yelled: Fire it up!
Theres a fire in the hole, someone yelled.
Fire in the hole, Winger repeated into his radio.
Thats when Winger bellowed his orders.
GET EM IN!
A stairway door in front of us filled with flames. The
firemen burst through the front door, hoses in tow, and
headed toward it.
You could hear a flurry of activity in the floor above
us. The smoke cut into our throats and eyes.
After a few minutes, were told an upstairs room
might be becoming less stable and Winger orders us
out.
Back in the fresh air, I was sweating, coughing from
the little smoke Id inhaled. Grants mother, Georgie, a
member of the Auxiliary, offered me water.
In front of the house, the firefighters we saw go in
came out. Theyd seen the worst of it.
They knelt down in a circle, seemingly exhausted,
heads down like they were praying. When they took their
masks off, you could see they were sweating profusely.
Eventually, everyones had their turn going in. Learn-
ing what there was to learn.
The house continues to burn as hoses from the fire
trucks go into action. Hoses wrap like snakes from all
directions, surrounding the house. There are trucks in
front of the house and from on high a spray of water
floats down from a ladder truck.
They spray the roof of a nearby home, too, and the
fire trucks nearest the blaze. Let it burn, but take pre-
cautions.
Eventually, the house crumbles, in stages, like a
house of cards.
Obviously, fire can be a tragedy, but it cant help but
quicken the pulse.
Rhonda Baumann is studying to be a firefighter at
Gateway.
I always wanted to do this, she said.
This was her first real fire. She called the experience
absolutely fabulous.
Every fire is different, says Wingers 71-year-old
father, Grant Sr., whos a pump operator. He was wiping
sweat from his bald head as we talked.
But, he added. It doesnt matter how many times,
youve done it, you get in and the adrenaline flows.
You never know how much you know until it hap-
pens, explained another fire fighter, Ray Boro. Then
the training takes over.
Just as Im leaving I run into Augie Wojcik and the
day came full circle.
He was in charge of setting the fire in the first
place.
Like Winger, it seems firefighting runs in the
family.
Wojciks grandfather and father were both firemen.
He has a photo of himself with his father, both posing
in the boots of a fireman.
Now Wojcik has a similar photo of his 7-year-old
son. And after this practice burn, Wojcik headed to the
hospital. Another son was born the night before.
Wojcik plans to pose him as a fireman, too.
A firefighters shoes cant be filled by everyone, but
those who do fill them take pride in it.
Well leave Linn firefighter Mike Schaid, volunteer
fireman with the last word.
Most people run out of a fire, he said. We run in.
Even if its just practice.
FIRE IN THE HOLE!
Entering a burning house a dangerous way to spend a Saturday

DOT makes decision on Highway 14
By Jade Bolack
WALWORTH The decision has been
made. The DOT has announced its decision
on the path Highway 14 will take through
the village.
The antique store will be gone, along
with two houses on the east side of the
southern half of Main Street.
School district safety concerns remain
unresolved.
Though the nal plans are made, con-
struction isnt set to begin until 2020.
According to a map created by the DOT,
instead of trafc driving around the square,
highway trafc will ow in north and south
on the west side of the square, where the
current southbound trafc ows.
Walworth School Board President Kelly
Freeman said she still isnt happy with the
DOTs decision.
It lacks such common sense to me
that you move a federal highway closer to a
school, she said at the July 18 board meet-
ing. I just cant imagine.
Freeman said the map was released by
the DOT at a special meeting July
10.
We met at the Fontana Village
Hall, she said. The village board
was represented by the president
... the chamber was there. Our
Walworth task force was well rep-
resented.
The DOT expected school
board members to be happy with
the decision, Freeman said.
There was also an aside
that the school would be happy
because they were moving the
highway 15 feet farther away (from
the school), she said. Instead
of 38 feet, its going to be 53 feet
(away).
Other schools in the county
face similar situations.
Part of (the DOTs) rational is
that Highway 14 is within 49 feet
of the Darien school, Freeman
said. Well, they didnt move the
highway. They built that school
around the highway. Its not the same thing
at all.
Bypass still not an option
I think its fair to say that
(everyone) wanted the bypass,
Freeman said. Everybody is in
agreement with this. The state
said thats not going to happen.
Proposed bypass routes take
semitrailer trafc away from the
village to the west.
They would be using county
trunk K which has already been
upgraded for truck use, Freeman
said. There are already trucks out
there using it.
Another concern is the busi-
nesses affected by the rerouted
highway.
You can see by the illustration
that one of the problems is in front
of the gas stations over there,
Freeman said. Its a dead end.
Whats going to happen to those
businesses? That was a good ques-
tion that wasnt answered (by the
DOT). Emergency vehicles may
have more trouble moving through the
downtown, too.
Vehicles are going to have to go around
the park (to the west), Freeman said. The
DOT couldnt believe that our police cars
and such go down the wrong way, against
trafc. Well, yes, it happens all the time.
Villages view
Village President David Rasmussen
said he is glad the DOT decided on the
shape of the highway through the village.
The problem is trying to work on the
details when the main concept hasnt been
decided, he said during a phone interview
July 22. There are still a lot of undecided
things about the plan for this, but the main
thing is decided. The shape of the highway
through the village will be that as straight
as possible line.
Rasmussen said he wants to talk with
the DOT engineers.
The Heyer family talks about the
importance of the park that carries

SHARON HOSTED the Prairie Cycle Series on July 17. The event was planned as a way to promote the village.
Sharon hosts rst major
cycling event, hopes for more
By Jade Bolack
SHARON After more than a year of planning, Sha-
rons cycling race spun smoothly July 17.
Hosted by the village and coordinated by Prairie Cycle
Series, the village was home to an all-day cycling event.
Starting in the early morning, cyclists rode through
the village and out onto country roads, making loops for
hours.
In the evening, racers started the criterion, a small
loop right in the village.
It was fabulous, Village President Diana Dykstra
said. It was an amazing event. The community really
came together.
Though the trailer that would typically host regis-
tration tables at the race site broke down on the way to
Sharon, the United Methodist Church offered its basement
for registration and as a cooling space.
They made a donation to the church for that, Dykstra
said. It was just a really great thing to be involved with. It
was very exciting.
Shes elded questions about the village since the
event.
We had somebody asking questions about some of
the shops downtown, Dykstra said. We had this idea
of bringing people downtown, and that slowly started to
happen during the race.
To coordinate the whole race, the
village created a steering committee,
which organized vendors to sell on site,
found volunteers and sponsors.
Volunteer race marshals were sta-
tioned throughout the course ensuring
cyclists werent hurt and trafc wasnt
disrupted.
Someone asked me what this actu-
ally does for the village, Dykstra said.
With something like this, you arent
going to see a tangible benet to the
village. Youre going to see a long-term
benet, maybe further development and trafc. Thats
what is going to benet our community.
Dykstra called the race and cycling events an invest-
ment in the community.
When people complain, I refer them back to the
Fourth of July. What does that bring to the village? she
said. When we talk about the money we pay for reworks,
were spending about $8,000. That brings people to the
park, not to our downtown shops. This event costs us about
$3,000, and it brought people into our businesses.
Next years race planning will start soon.
I think this race brings a great deal of publicity and
validity to us being a cycling destination, Dykstra said.
That was our goal: to have people feel, say and believe that
we are the friendliest bicycling community.

Monday was a time of change for the Williams Bay
School District.
There was the scheduled, annual budget change
approved for the coming school year by the districts regu-
lar annual meeting.
And there were the changes brought about by circum-
stance.
In a special meeting at 7 p.m., the school board approved
hiring William White as principal of the districts junior-
senior high school and director of district curriculum.
Since 2010, White had been principal and superinten-
dent of the K-8 Brighton School District near Kansasville.
Whites contract runs from Aug. 1 to June 30 and he will be
paid $96,500 a year.
Earlier this month, the district hired Wayne Anderson,
former Mount Horeb School District superintendent, for
$118,000 a year.
At 8 p.m., the board called the districts annual meet-
ing to order to approve a preliminary budget and a pro-
jected property tax rate.

Heyer family worries over park changes
By Jade Bolack
WALWORTH Its kind of what small
towns are all about.
Shirley Heyer, the daughter-in-law of
the parks namesake, isnt too happy about
potential changes to the highway cutting
into her familys park.
Heyer Park sits in the middle of the vil-
lage of Walworth and in the middle of her
familys heart.
It amazes me how many people stop at
that park now, she said. We wont have as
many stopping if they cut up the park (with
the highway). Theyve been talking about
changing the highways for a long time. I
dont know if theyre ever going to.
Jack Heyer, Shirleys husband and son of
Edwin Heyer, said it would ruin the town
if the park was changed too much.
As far as the highway going through
it, that would destroy it, he said. I think
thats terrible. We dont have many parks
anymore.
Edwin Heyer, whose hardware store sat
on the north side of the square, was hon-
ored to have his name attached to the park.
Jack said he was about 50, or 33 years ago,
when the name changed.
I think it was very nice they named
it after my father, Jack said. We had the
hardware store in the square, and he took
care of that park. He just kind of made it his
duty to make sure the park looked nice.
Supplies from the hardware store went
to making sure the park stayed nice.
My dad would always fertilize the park,
Jack said. Hed take bags from the store,
and hed tell me that he had found broken
bags so he put (the fertilizer) in the park. We
knew he didnt nd a broken bag. He just
wanted to make sure the park looked good.
That was his thing.
Jack said Edwin could be found at the
park digging up dandelions or talking to
tourists.
He talked to anyone who would stop,
and theyd carry on for a while in the park,
Jack said.
Shirley said Edwin would share the story
of the park to anyone who would listen.
Hed give them the history of every-
thing, she said. He enjoyed it. He lived in
an apartment above the store, so he didnt
have a lawn of his own. He just took over the
park. He did everything. He complained to
the village if he didnt like what they were
doing.
The family joked that Edwin thought he
owned the park.
Before they named it after him, it was
just called the village park, Jack said. They
didnt really have a name for it. There are a
lot of things that have changed since then,
in and out of the park.
Jack no longer works at the hardware
store, now located on Highway 67 on the
east end of the village.
I gave up working about 10 years ago,
he said.
He gave up seeing the park as often as he
used to, as well.
When the hardware store was there,
we always faced the park, Jack said. We
could see it all year round. We saw the color
changes and everything. In the fall, wed see
these birds y south for the winter. Theyd
always stop in Walworth and ll the trees
in that park.
Jack said the birds got drunk off some-
thing they ate and would stumble around in
the park grass.
They would actually be wobbling
around on the ground, he said. This would
happen once a year. I dont even know what
kind of bird it was. We were just used to
seeing it because it happened every fall.
He doesnt know if the birds still visit
Heyer Park, but he and his wife do, though
the family doesnt live on the square any-
more.
We only live a block from it, Shirley
said. We still go there.
Mary Heyer, Jack and Shirleys daugh-
ter, declined to comment on her familys
history regarding the park. Mary, Walworth
School Board Clerk, said she didnt want
decisions about the park to affect decisions
she makes on the school board.
JOHN HALVERSON/REGIONAL NEWS
HEYER PARKS fountain has been a xture for decades.
When their design
people go in, they design the
road the way theyd want it
to be, as though its a brand
new road, he said. They
just design it based on their
perfect design standards.
Well, they dont always
work.
Many parking spaces
around the square will be
eliminated, based on the
current DOT plan.
Theyre just eliminat-
ing those parking spots that
we have room for, Rasmus-
sen said. They arent really
thinking about our village,
just the perfect model.
Trafc ow on the north
and east sides of the square
isnt ofcially determined
yet.
The map shows angle
parking facing east and
south owing trafc, as
though the DOT wants to
reverse the current ow of
trafc around the square.
People who come
down Main Street have no
way out, Rasmussen said.
They can only make a right
turn at (Kenosha Street).
Youre going to push every-
one through the alley.
Rasmussen said that by
eliminating most left turns,
the DOT causes unintended
consequences.
Theyre banning left
turns, he said. You cant do
that. How do people get out?
People will be trapped.
As for the space where
the antique mall currently
stands, Rasmussen has no
denitive plans.
The state will own that
land, he said. I assume it
will be some parking and
some green space. Wed like
to keep the visibility as open
as possible.
The dead end created on
the section of Main Street
south of Highway 67 isnt
nalized either.
The Geneva Lake West
Chamber raised some con-
cerns about those gas sta-
tions, saying how are people
going to get in there, Ras-
mussen said. Well, the
trafc situation is worse for
them now. When youre in
those gas stations and the
trafc is backed up (south)
to the library, you cant turn
left or right.
The lower volume of
trafc on the dead end street
will allow for easier turns in
either direction onto High-
way 14, Rasmussen said.
Other school news
A rst draft of the 2013-
14 budget was submitted to
the school board.
Karie Bourke, admin-
istrative assistant, said the
district could delay buying
health insurance for its part-
time employees because of a
change in the implementa-
tion time line of the Afford-
able Care Act.
She said this change
reduces the stress on the
districts budget.
Tax payers may see a
tax levy decrease because of
increased state aid, as well.
The school board met
in closed session prior to
the open meeting to discuss
parent complaints that were
submitted earlier this year
and negotiations with the
Walworth teachers union.

Originally, the two men bought morphine pills. Because
there is a limited demand for morphine pills in Walworth
County, Contreras tried to sell the morphine and buy Pero-
cet. Percocet is a prescription pain reliever.
Contreras and his brother-in-law met Taylor who
reportedly asked what they wanted to buy.
The three men couldnt come to a deal they were all
comfortable with, and Contreras and Taylor both reached
for their guns. Taylor shot both Contreras and his brother-
in-law in the early morning of July 11.
Contreras body was found near the intersection of 15th
Street and W. Keefe Avenue, one block to the northwest of
the shooting. His brother-in-law was shot in the pelvis, but
he survived the shooting.
Police responded to the scene, and a nearby resident
told police a man with a gunshot wound was inside her
home.
Taylor was found with a gunshot wound in his leg.

July 25, 2013 The Regional News 3B
By Chris Schultz
Experience was a key factor in the Williams Bay School
Boards search for an interim superintendent.
The board may have found it in Wayne R. Anderson, 58.
Anderson served 17 years as superintendent at the Mount
Horeb School District.
Anderson signed a one-year contract with the Williams
Bay district. But, if he and the board get along, I may stay
longer, he said.
The K-12 Mount Horeb district, with 2,350 students, has
seven buildings, which includes ve schools, an administra-
tive building and a bus garage.
The district includes the villages of Mount Horeb and Blue
Mounds and all or part of eight other towns.
While Mount Horeb superintendent, Anderson oversaw
four major building referendums. Under his leadership, dis-
trict voters approved all four referendums, which paid for a
new school, school expansions and upgrades.
All four passed on the rst try, he said.
That kind of experience would be helpful to the Williams
Bay School Board, should it decide to proceed with a referen-
dum to pay for a new elementary school building.
Although Anderson talked with a reporter on July 17, and
he will be at the July 22 annual school district meeting, he
doesnt ofcially start as Williams Bay superintendent until
Aug. 1. Anderson said he grew up in Milltown in northwest
Wisconsin, about 40 miles from Hudson and 60 miles from
Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Anderson said he planned on becoming a minister. He
attended the University of Wisconsin-River Falls from 1973 to
1977 and earned undergraduate degrees in English and his-
tory.
He said he planned to attend seminary after graduation.
I loved preaching and teaching, he said.
But while working as a pastoral intern at a local church,
he found himself attending night meetings and dealing with
church politics.
Anderson said he began to realize he didnt want to deal
with that.
He then took teaching jobs, starting in Blair, Wis., where
he met his wife Susan. They married in 1979.
He returned to UW-River Falls and earned a masters
degree in history in 1981. Anderson then taught in Cassville
in the southwest side of the state for two years, before moving
on to Barneveld. He earned his masters degree in education
administration at the University of Wisconsin in 1985.
Anderson was administrative assistant in Sheboygan for
three years and then moved to Reedsburg in 1988, where he
spent eight years as assistant principal at the high school for
ve years and then as elementary principal for three years. He
also spent his last year in Reedsburg as assistant superinten-
dent in charge of business.
In 1996, he was hired as superintendent of the Mount
Horeb School District. When his fourth Mount Horeb build-
ing referendum was approved two years ago, Anderson said
he planned to stay on until the work on those projects was
completed, and then he would retire.
When I had put in to retire, I thought I was ready to
retire, Anderson said. And I was wrong.
He said he was attracted to Williams Bay which was look-
ing for a person with experience.
Im a strong proponent in having access, he said. Ill
meet with people where and when they feel comfortable.
He said that approach was very benecial during his 17-
year tenure in Mount Horeb.
We may not agree, but Ill listen with an open mind,
Anderson said.
Anderson said he also loves to write, and he will try to
write a regular blog at the school website.
When you work together, you solve a lot of problems, he
said.
He said he taught school nance at the University of Wis-
consin.
Under the states school funding system, there is no way
to know what a school districts revenue stream will be more
than two years in advance, Anderson said.
Weve seen in the past two years how school funding can
change drastically, he said.
Having worked as an administrator in mid-sized districts
with more than 1,000 students, Anderson said hes looking
forward to working in a smaller district
Whats nice, after a while, Ill get to know of the kids and
their parents, he said.
He said he taught in two districts smaller than Williams
Bay, Cassville and Barneveld.
The advantage in a small district is you get to know
everybody, he said.
The Andersons will rent a condo in Geneva National start-
ing in September to be close to the school district. They have
two children.
Daughter Kristin, a vision therapist for CESA II, is mar-
ried to Peter Grendes, business manager for the Deereld
School District.
The Grendes have two young children, Sam and Gordie.
The Andersons son, Erik, is manager of a company called
Do All, which does landscaping, snow removal and building
renovation.
He and his wife, Regina, live in Burnsville, Minn.
Interim superintendent brings experience
About 35 people attended the meeting. White and
Anderson introduced themselves.
Electors at the meeting approved a proposed budget of
$7.68 million on a 29-1 secret ballot.
The districts 2013-14 tax levy is $6.93 million, no
increase over 2012-13 tax levy.
They also approved a proposed tax rate of $6.80 per
$1,000 of equalized valuation, which is the same as last
year. Unless a property owners assessed valuation has
increased over the past year, the owner of a home assessed
at $250,000 will pay $1,700 in school property taxes, the
same as last year.
The difference between expenditures and tax levy will
be made up by other revenues, including state aid (about
$62,000), federal aids (about $140,000), local fees and
payments (about $58,000) payments for open enrollment
students (about $750,000) and a portion of the districts
fund balance.
On voice votes:
n District residents also approved a transportation for
elementary school students who live a mile from school
and for junior and senior high school students live more
than a mile and a half from school.
n School board salaries were approved: $2,700 for the
board clerk; $2,500 for the president and $2,200 for the
other three board members.
White, a Kentucky native, said he was glad to be a part
of the Williams Bay staff. He said hes worked at admin-
istrative levels in the Brookeld, Waukesha and Brighton
school districts.
Anderson said he was ecstatic about being hired as
interim superintendent.
Between meetings, Dianna Woss, school board presi-
dent, said Andersons experience in administration at
Mount Horeb was a major reason the board hired him.
Anderson also has nancial expertise, which the dis-
trict wants to tap into, Woss said.
Everyone I talked to at Mount Horeb said hes honest,
hes ethical and hes outgoing, Woss said. And hes scally
responsible.
On the districts scal end, the preliminary budget
shows revenues of about $7.56 million, meaning expenses
will exceed revenues by $119,023. The district will dip into
its $1.16 million fund balance to cover the difference.
District revenues for 2013-14 increased by about 7 per-
cent over last year, but expenses increased by nearly 14
percent, according to district gures.
The district will levy $559,000 as part of the states
Energy Efciency Exemption. The levy will pay for main-
tenance at the junior-senior high school building, which
will increase energy efciency with the intention of saving
the district in operating costs.
The preliminary budget tax levy is based on the 2012
fall equalized valuation. When the school board certies
the levy in November, the levy will be based on the 2013
fall equalized valuation.
When I had put in to retire, I
thought I was ready to retire,
Wayne Anderson, the interim
superintendent for Williams Bay,
said. And I was wrong.

COUNTY REPORT
County extends option to buy parkland
By Robert Ireland
ELKHORN The county extended an option to pur-
chase parkland in Lyons Township on July 9, and the
county administrator will likely include buying the prop-
erty in next years budget.
The county board approved a six-
month option to purchase the land in
February, which was set to expire in
August.
The county is considering buying
195 acres at the intersection of Sheridan
Springs and Short roads to turn it into a
park. The White River meanders through
the property, and there is about 9,200
feet of frontage on the land
The county hopes to receive a Stew-
ardship Grant from the DNR to pay for
half of the $1.91 million purchase price.
Two obstacles have stopped the board
from buying the land in 2013.
We have no indication yet from the
Department of Natural Resources as to
the Stewardship Grant, County Admin-
istrator David Bretl said. We are short of
the vote to acquire the property even if we
had the grant. It was an unbudgeted item
and would require a two-thirds vote.
To buy the land in 2013, eight of the
11 county board supervisors would need
to approve it. Only seven supervisors have shown support
for buying the land.
Supervisors Richard Brandl, Ken Monroe, Carl Rede-
nius and Rick Stacey voted against extending the option to
purchase, and all four voted against the option to purchase
the land in February.
Bretl is the rst to develop the county budget, but it
will be ultimately up to the supervisors to approve it. For
the park to be approved during the budgeting process, a
simple majority of supervisors would need to vote in favor
of it.
Supervisor Daniel Kilkenny said there was no addi-
tional cost to extending the option to purchase, and
extending the option doesnt require the board to buy the
land in the future.
We have already paid the option price, there is no
additional consideration, Kilkenny said. Personally I
dont see a reason why you would want to limit the countys
options.
Opposition
The supervisors who oppose buying the park usually
have one major concern.
To me its the price tag, for the land that is there we are
way overspending, Brandl said. Its not that we are anti-
park, it is the price tag.
Monroe said he was concerned about the price tag, but
he also had too many unanswered questions to approve
extending the option to purchase.
He said it isnt clear what the county plans are for the
home and barn that are located on the property. He also
said he isnt sure if the county needs to build a bridge to
cross the White River to access different parts of the prop-
erty.
He also wants to know whether the county has the cor-
rect equipment to maintain the existing trails on the land,
or if it will need to buy additional equipment.
The supervisors who oppose the park will have another
opportunity to voice their concerns if it appears in the 2014
budget.
Im disappointed that it will be included in the budget
next year, Brandl said. I guess thats democracy, you win
some you lose some.
Neither Brandl nor Monroe would commit to opposing
any budget with money set to purchase the parkland.
For me personally, it is probably a good possibility,
Brandl said. It all depends on how the budget comes out,
but I will say it is a possibility on my part.
Monroe said it will depend on whether the county
receives the matching Stewardship Grant, and what other
items are in the budget.
Im not going to rule anything out until I see what hap-
pens with the Stewardship Grant and there will be some
more studies done, Monroe said. Just hopefully they get
the Stewardship Grant, I hope it goes through, Monroe
said.

WALWORTH COUNTY COURT
Man gets ve years prison for 10th OWI
Robert Ireland
ELKHORN A 49-year-old man will
spend ve years in prison after he was
arrested in Darien for his 10th drunken
driving offense.
Leonard LaPuma of Chicago, was
arrested March 23 shortly after he was
released from prison for his ninth-drunken
driving offense.
According to records on the Depart-
ment of Corrections website, LaPuma was
incarcerated until Jan. 10.
As part of his sentence for the 10th
offense, LaPuma will also serve ve years
of extended supervision, complete 70 hours
of community service and pay a $1,200
ne. His latest prison sentence wont begin
until he completes his revocation on the
ninth-offense.
On Feb. 5, 2009, for his ninth offense,
LaPuma was given a 10-year sentence, ve
years of initial incarceration and
ve years of extended supervision.
He also was ned $6,300. A con-
dition of his extended release was
that he not consume alcohol.
LaPuma was arrested on
March 23 at 3:14 a.m., and the of-
cer reported that LaPuma smelled
of alcohol, his speech was slurred
and his balance was poor, accord-
ing to the criminal complaint.
A portable Breathalyzer test
came back with a blood-alcohol
level of 0.12. The legal limit for a rst-
offense drunken driver is 0.08, and it is
0.02 for repeat offenders.
LaPuma has nine previous convictions,
which include offenses that occurred on
Feb. 11, 1991; June 27, 1991; Feb. 14, 1993;
Nov. 13, 1994; March 24, 1998; July 26,
1998; Nov. 3, 2001; Sept. 3, 2006; and Nov.
26, 2008.
When Judge James Carlson sentenced
LaPuma on his ninth-drunken
driving offense he ruled that
LaPuma wouldnt be eligible for
the earned release program until
he completed 3 1/2 years of his
sentence.
In a letter written from prison,
LaPuma asked Carlson to modify
his sentence and nd him eligible
for the earned release program
before he serves 3 1/2 years.
Im asking for the opportunity
to participate in the ERP program
with the hopes to learn new life skills that
will help me not repeat my past mistakes,
LaPuma wrote to Carlson. The Earned
Release Program is a substance-abuse pro-
gram. Carlson denied the motion.
Eventually, LaPuma enrolled in the
program and successfully completed it.
The DOCs website states the program
provides statutorily eligible inmates an
incentive to actively participate in an inten-
sive alcohol and drug treatment program
designed to reduce the incidence of future
criminal behaviors.
In 2008, LaPuma was arrested after he
rear-ended a vehicle on State Highway 50.
The other vehicle was reportedly stopped
in front of Mulligans Sports Pub & Grill
and was waiting to turn into the parking
lot.
LaPuma rear ended the vehicle and
then ed the scene. He told a town of Dela-
van police ofcer that he left because his
license was revoked and he didnt think the
accident was that bad.
An attempt to locate was placed on the
vehicle and LaPuma was stopped by the
Williams Bay Police Department. Before
stopping the vehicle, the ofcer saw the
driver slam on the vehicles brakes to avoid
an accident. When the ofcer made contact
with LaPuma, he could smell alcohol on
him. During eld sobriety tests, LaPuma
struggled to keep his balance.

LAKE GENEVA POLICE REPORTS
MADISON Rep. Amy Loudenbeck,
R-Clinton, and Rep. Debra Kolste, D-
Janesville, are co-authors of a bill designed
to expand services at free medical clinics,
such as Open Arms Clinic in Elkhorn and
HealthNet of Rock County.
Kolste volunteered for many years at
HealthNet.
The law will expand the number of
health care professionals who can offer
their services without risk of liability,
Loudenbeck said in a July 19 telephone
interview.
It would let these clinics offer a wider
range of services, Loudenbeck said.
The Loudenbeck-Kolste bill would
expand the list of those considered agents
of the state while volunteering in qualied
free clinics, she said. The state can pro-
vide legal representation for those on the
list and may pay damages for judgments
stemming from volunteer work at free
clinics.
This bill came
about after we talked
to ofcials from clinics
that offer health care to
the uninsured, Louden-
beck said. We learned
that some health care
professionals cant offer
their services for rea-
sons of liability.
For example, the
gap in the law prevented
advanced nurse practi-
tioners with prescription authority from
volunteering at free clinics and being able
to write prescriptions, Loudenbeck said.
Put up for co-sponsorship in May
and June, Loudenbeck said the bill was
expected to have as many as 30 co-signers
before it was to be formally presented to
the state Assembly.
Assembly Majority Leader Robin Vos
will assign the bill to committee.
New law would expand
free clinic services

Library will hold the 21st Annual Book Sale
on Saturday, Aug. 10, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and
Sunday, Aug. 11, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the east
end of Library Park in Lake Geneva.
Mass media paperback books will be sold
for 50 cents. Hardcover and trade paperback
books, DVDs, videos and CDs will be avail-
able for $1. Rare editions or signed copies
of books are in a separate category and are
priced according to their value. Funds raised
from the sale make special projects possible,
including youth and adult programming,
online book clubs, new books, audio books
and DVDs for the library collection.
Gently used book donations are welcome
for the sale. Donations of textbooks, maga-
zines, encyclopedias and Readers Digest
condensed books will not be accepted.
The Friends Book Sale is the major
annual fundraiser sponsored by the group. It

their time to receive, sort and sell books for
this anticipated tradition that draws book
lovers and collectors from local areas as well
as from out of state.
In addition to the book sale, historic
LIFE Magazines will also be available for
purchase as a part of the ongoing sale. The
sale of LIFE provides an opportunity to give
a contribution to the library as well as pur-

memorate birthdays, anniversaries or other
special events or occasions. The librarys col-
lection of more than 700 magazines covers
the years 1936 through 1972 and 1978-2000

only what the library has stored. The stan-
dard price for each issue is $10 and select
magazines are sold for higher prices based
on their assessed values.

also popular and are offered with a one-time
gift of $100. Members are invited to a Mem-
bers only Preview Night to purchase books

Wuttke wins prizes at State Fair
Thirty-four entries in various catego-
ries of photography subjects earned Sharon
Wuttke, Bray Road, LaFayette Township,
formerly of Lake Geneva, 10 awards in the
2013 Wisconsin State Fair. They will be on
exhibit throughout the run of the fair.
The competition is open to the public
and information is available online in early
May. Entry forms had to be submitted by
June 12, subjects submitted by July 12 and
judging was done July 17.
Wuttkes four rst prizes were in the cat-
egories of military, songbird and winter and
the most interesting, to her, was forks. She
thought table forks might not be interesting,
so her entry included a bale of hay, three
pitch forks and a person holding two forks.
Her other winners were two third-place and
two fourth-place prizes.
The photography show drew entries
from about 500 photographers who submit-
ted 2,500 entries. After the initial rst prizes
are awarded, they are judged by a panel for
the grand prize. The rst round had 24 rst-
place winning entries and Wuttke had two
of hers in consideration. The nal round of
nine prints found one of those two still in
competition. Although she didnt take the
grand prize, when the Judges Choice was
being selected, one judge commented that
Wuttkes entry in the military category was
his second choice.
Wuttke uses a Canon 60 35mm digital
camera. All of her 8-by-10-inch entries were
in color and most were taken in her back-
yard. She has been doing photography off
and on for about 25 years, but has become
more involved with photos within the last
ve or six years. This is the third year she
has been competing at the state and county
fairs. In some years the categories at the
state fair coincide with categories at the
Walworth County Fair. When that happens
she has entries in both fairs.
Church hosting bible school
The First United Methodist Church,
518 Booth St., Genoa City, will host Vaca-
tion Bible School Monday through Friday,
July 29 through Aug. 2, from 9 to 11:30 a.m.
each day. Children age four through those
who have nished sixth grade are welcome.
There is no registration fee required.
The theme for the week is and each day
will include Bible stories, music, prayers,
crafts, activities, games and snacks.
For more information, contact the

Genoa City library
The Welty Environmental Center of
Beloit will present Wonderful Worms at
5:30 p.m., the Genoa City Public Library,
126 Freeman St., Monday, July 29, at the
American Legion Hall, next to the library.
The program begins with an interac-
tive story about life in the soil and nishes
with a song about how worms help make the
food people eat. It introduces children to
worms, helps them learn about the simple
but important creatures and gets them com-
fortable with an unhuggable animal. The
children will experience what animals need
to live in the soil with games and actual arti-
facts from nature.
Other topics will include compost piles,
moving like a worm, learning worm anat-
omy and creating a beaded worm of their
own.

Stinebrink featured
on Brewers ticket
Living out a big league fantasy
By Mike Ramczyk
sports@lakegenevanews.net
Mark Stinebrink has loved the Milwaukee Brew-
ers for decades.
The 60-year-old, who is the general manager at
Stinebrinks Piggly Wiggly, has played in two Brew-
ers fantasy camps and has had season tickets to
Miller Park since 1998. Heck, he has even played
poker with Brewer greats Jim Gantner, Jerry Augus-
tine and Gorman Thomas.
But on Sunday, Stinebrink got to live out a Brew-
ers fantasy that may have been his best experience
yet.
Back in February, Stinebrink was selected as
part of the Brewers Fantastic 40 promotion to have
his face on the Brewers season tickets for the July
21 game against the Miami Marlins. Stinebrink
and about 130 other family, friends and colleagues
enjoyed a mega-tailgate with two mobile homes and
three canopies.
It was a neat prize for me to win, Stinebrink
said Monday sitting in his ofce at Lake Genevas
Piggly Wiggly. We chose Sunday so my daughters
could come up from Illinois. They live south of the
border, but theyre still Cheeseheads.
Season-ticket holders were automatically eligible
for the 40-day promotion, which gave away a new
prize each day. People were able to sign up for it as
well.
GET DOWN! A member of the Dream Team hustles to third base July 15 at Veterans Park.
Baseball eld of dreams
By Jade Bolack
LAKE GENEVA It was just like any other
summer league baseball game.
There were coaches telling kids to hustle and
focus on the ball, teammates cheering and over
protective moms.
For a couple of hours, all kids were equal on the
diamond.
Ten years ago, John Swanson helped create
the Dream Team summer league for athletes of all
abilities.
In the first season, there were only 10 players.
This season, there are 72.
Mainly from Lakeland School, the players com-
pete against other YMCA summer league teams.
Swanson said he first created the league because
he realized there wasnt a place for them.
Have you ever been out here (to Veterans Park)
during the games? he said. The kids are yelling
and having a great time. I wanted that for the kids
at Lakeland.
Along with Swanson, a group of volunteer
coaches staff the league.
Jeff Sonn, a coach and parent, has been with
the league since the beginning.
Kian (my son) was in the original group, Sonn
said.

Genoa City juniors end
up two games from state
Postseason
run comes to
crashing halt
By Mike Ramczyk
BURLINGTON The Genoa City Junior Legion
baseball team may have simply ran out of gas Monday
night.
After playing four games in five days, the Red Legs
needed to beat Burlington Post 79 Monday night at
Beaumont Field to advance to Tuesdays regional cham-
pionship against Janesville.
Genoa City grinded out a 5-4 victory against Water-
ford earlier Monday and faced Burlington a mere 30
minutes later. The well-rested Post 79 ended the game
early, jumping out to a 9-2 lead after two innings and
cruising to a 10-4 victory.
The loss ended Genoa Citys season at 17-8 overall.
The Red Legs put together an impressive string of victo-
ries in the regional tournament over Racine, Burlington
and Waterford, but Burlington Post 79 proved to be too
much late Monday night.
Genoa City starting pitcher Alex Morland allowed
seven earned runs in only 1 2/3 innings before John
Laskowski relieved him.
The Red Legs may have fared better if they started
Laskowski, who only surrendered one earned run in the
final 5 1/3 innings.
Down 10-2 in the fourth, Clint Ugolinis RBI single
cut the lead to 10-3, and Genoa City tacked on another
run in the fifth thanks to a wild pitch. But Sibley, Bur-
lingtons starting pitcher, was too strong. He scattered
five hits and gave up four earned runs in the complete
game victory.
Morland had two hits and an RBI to lead Genoa
City.
Genoa City 5, Waterford 4
The Red Legs avenged a loss earlier in the tourna-
ment to Waterford with a solid effort Monday night.
Waterford was never able to get over the hump and
overcome its troubles against Genoa City on Monday,
as Waterford fell 5-4 at Beaumont Field, 650 Milwau-
kee Avenue, Burlington, WI after falling behind by three
runs in the fifth inning.
Down 5-2, Waterford scored two runs in the fifth
inning to cut it to a one-run game.
However, Isaac Ziervogel shut Waterford down in
the final three innings, allowing only one hit and strik-
ing out two.
Colton Tisch had two extra-base hits for Genoa City.
He doubled in the first and third innings.
Genoa City banged out 12 hits, led by three from
Nick Van Kampen. Ugolini and Laskowski each added
two hits.

Team nishes season 12-14, but could be a tournament sleeper
Genoa City opens playoffs this week
By Mike Ramczyk
GENOA CITY The real season begins
this week.
All the Genoa City Senior Legion base-
ball team has to do is win three games in
this weeks double-elimination, ve-team
regional and it will nd itself in the Amer-
ican Legion state tournament.
The Red Legs nished the regular
season 12-14 thanks to a 10-7 victory over
Waterford Saturday.
In a nine-inning contest to prepare
for regionals (all regional games are nine
innings), Colton Andresen started and
pitched ve strong innings. Travis Stahu-
lak hurled the nal four innings, allowing
only one run.
Genoa City jumped out to a 3-0 lead in
the rst only to see that lead vanish. The
Red Legs trailed, 6-4, after ve innings. In
the sixth, the Red Legs scored four runs on
a one-out triple by Colin Barry. That was
followed by consecutive hits from James
Alexander, Corey Crowder, Stahulak and a
two-run RBI hit by Jonah Zeinert.
Genoa City smashed 17 hits against
Waterford, as everyone got at least one hit.
The leading hitters for the Red Legs were
Barry and Crowder with three hits apiece
followed by two hits each from Andresen
and Van Kampen.
Alexander and Zeinert contributed
three and two RBIs, respectively.
We hit the ball well this afternoon and
even our outs were hit hard, said Genoa
City coach Gary Cukla. Our good base-
running forced Waterford into miscues on
some plays, and we were aggressive in the
way we played.
The Red Legs open regionals against
Beloit Wednesday night at 8 p.m. at Car-
thage College in Kenosha. The tourna-
ment will be played into the weekend and
all games are at Carthage. Genoa City split
with Beloit this season.
The winner will play the Kenosha-
Waterford winner. Janesville has a rst-
round bye in the ve-team tournament.
Genoa City players Corey Crowder and
Brendan Huber will be away on vacation,
but the team still boasts a solid pitching
rotation of Eric Nevoso, Andresen, Stahu-
lak and Bryce Davis.
The competition is pretty even, said
assistant coach Curt Andresen. It will be
interesting. We will need to execute with
men on base.
To win the regionals we are going
have to hit the ball and force errors by
our opponents, Cukla said. This tourna-
ment will be won by the team that makes
the least mistakes both on offense and
defense. The team that gets hot with their
bats will be tough to beat. That sounds
simple, but it is very hard to accomplish.
You also need to be lucky once in awhile.
Beloit 3, Genoa City 2
On July 17, Nevoso was strong on the
mound for the Red Legs, but a late run by
Beloit proved to be the difference.
Genoa City jumped out to a 1-0 lead
in the rst inning thanks to two Beloit
errors. It stayed that way until the bottom
of the fourth when Beloit came up with
two runs. They took a 2-1 lead with a
safety squeeze.
The Red Legs came back to tie it up in
the fth on a lead-off double by Brendan
Huber, who later scored on a wild pitch.
Then, Corey Crowder and Alexander were
both stranded to end the rally when Bryce
Davis ew out to left for the nal out.
In the bottom of the sixth, Beloit went
up, 3-2, when its runner at third scored on
a wild pitch.
Zeinert reached on an error to start
the seventh. Then, Huber walked and both
runners advanced on a sacrice bunt.
With the winning run at second with only
one out, Nevoso failed to lay down a safety
squeeze before striking out.
With two outs, Andresen struck out
looking.
Despite a strong pitching performance
from Nevoso, the Red Legs only mustered
two hits.
We had our chances but failed to
execute some important plays on offense,
Cukla said. If you are not hitting, you
have to nd other ways to win and that is
executing those little things like bunting.
ERIC NEVOSO has owned Beloit this season. He may get the start Wednesday.

July 25, 2013 The Regional News 3C
After being selected in
February, Stinebrink went
to Miller Park for a photo
shoot where he wore the
light green Brewers jersey
with his nickname, Stiney,
on the back.
I started calling differ-
ent companies and asked
if I could use their season
tickets if they werent using
them, Stinebrink said.
I wanted all of my seven
grandkids and the rest of
my family to come to the
game. I reached out to any-
body and everybody.
A quirky and fun-loving
character, Stiney has
dressed up as the Piggly
Wiggly pig and even worn a
dress for work golf outings
before and is never afraid to
let loose.
He said several people
even approached him and
asked how he got his face
on the ticket. At one point
during the game, Stine-
brinks friend stood and
yelled to everyone around
that his buddy was on the
ticket. That got a round of
applause.
Stinebrink and his wife
sat in the front row of sec-
tion 121, an arms length
from the eld. The rest
of the crew was scattered
throughout the stadium.
Everyone wore yellow T-
shirts with Stinebrinks face
on it and an upside-down
Brewers logo, which looked
like a pig for Piggly Wiggly.
Stinebrink particularly
enjoyed seeing the visit-
ing dugout with his seven
grandchildren. Several of
the kids got to go down
Bernie Brewers slide,
an icon that the Brewers
mascot zips down when the
Brewers hit a home run.
I forgot to sign myself
up for the slide, Stinebrink
joked. Why didnt I do
that?
During the game, Stine-
brinks name was recog-
nized on the JumboTron
for 21 years of supporting
the Big Brothers, Big Sisters
organization.
A fantastic nish
The Stinebrink crew
entered the parking lot
around 10 a.m., and the
massive tailgate included
brats, hot dogs and bag
toss.
My wife did way too
much work, Stinebrink
said. She even cleaned up
after the game. She deserves
all the credit.
But Stinebrink was get-
ting plenty of credit for
being on the ticket through-
out the game. It was that
praise that came back to
bite him during the games
most exciting moment.
It was the bottom of the
13th inning, and the Brew-
ers were coming to bat in a
0-0 game. The marathon
was a pitchers duel, and
little-used minor leaguer
Caleb Gindl was the rst
Brewer to bat in the inning.
This seemed like the
perfect time for Stinebrink
to leave his seat and use the
restroom. He had been wait-
ing since the second inning
for the right time, and he
thought he wouldnt miss
anything because Gindl
hadnt even hit a major-
league home run yet.
So Stinebrink rushed up
the stairs of his section only
to be stopped by a fellow
fan. The fan asked how
Stinebrink got his picture
on the ticket.
The nice guy that he is,
Stinebrink explained the
story quickly and proceeded
to sprint to the restroom.
Gindl did the unbelieve-
able. He cracked a game-
winning home run, and
Stinebrink heard the call
over the radio but was too
late to see it in person as
he was just exiting the rest-
room.
I was trying to get out
of my conversation with
that guy as fast as I could
and ran to the bathroom,
Stinebrink said. When
Gindl hit the homer, I was
like, Youve got to be kid-
ding me.
Despite the bathroom
blunder, it was an experi-
ence Stinebrink will cherish
forever.
It was a great tailgate,
and Im just happy every-
thing went well, Stine-
brink said. It was nice to
have family and friends
together.
Zach Ditzenburger got it done on
the rubber on the way to a win. He
allowed two earned runs over four
innings and scattered six hits.
Genoa City 4, Burlington 3
The Red Legs needed some late-
inning magic July 20 against the
Trashers, and they were given a gift.
With two outs in the bottom of the
seventh and the scored tied, 3-3, Van
Kampen scored on a wild pitch to win
the game. Van Kampen reached on an
error and was sacriced to second on
a bunt by Riley Gentile.
Genoa Citys Logan Siegler boosted
his batting average thanks to a perfect
2-for-2 day at the plate.
Morland got the win on the mound.
He allowed one run over three innings,
struck out four, walked one and gave
up four hits.
Burlington tied the game in the
seventh on an RBI single.
Genoa City 15, Racine 2
Genoa City took down Racine
for the second time in a week July
18 thanks to eight runs in the third
inning.
Ugolini racked up two RBIs on
three hits for Genoa City. He tripled
in the third inning and singled in the
rst and fth innings.
Van Kampen allowed two runs
over four innings for the victory. He
struck out eight, walked four and sur-
rendered ve hits.
Genoa City added ve more runs
in the top of the fourth. Laskowski
singled, plating Morland and Ugolini
to kick things off.
That was followed by Grayson
Grimsleys double, which scored
Tisch.
Genoa City tacked on another two
runs in the fth.
Ugolini led the way with three hits,
and Laskowski and Grimsley each
added two.
Van Kampen, Gentile, Morland,
Tisch and Phil Kutch each tallied a hit
for Genoa City.
Waterford 7, Genoa City 6
Genoa City opened the regional
tournament July 17 with a near come-
back.
Gentile had a busy day at the plate,
collecting two extra-base hits. He sin-
gled in the rst inning and doubled in
the third and fth innings.
Waterford led, 5-0, in the rst, and
7-3 through three innings.
After pushing across three runs in
the top of the third, Genoa City faced
just a 5-3 decit.
An error, an RBI double by Gen-
tile, and an RBI single by Laskowski
gave Genoa City life.
After pushing across three runs in
the top of the fth, Genoa City faced
just a 7-6 decit.
A walk by Ditzenburger and a two-
run single by Siegler triggered Genoa
Citys comeback.
However, Ziervogel struck out to
end the inning.
The kids really love it. They have a pep rally in the
spring at the school, gearing up for it.
Sonn pitched during the dream team games on July
15.
The league lasts about ve weeks in the summer, he
said. We spend a few weeks practicing. Then we play a
few games against the other YMCA league teams. It gives
other kids a chance to play with these kids (on the Dream
Team). They really love it, too. They get into it like any
other game.
A group of 48 high school and middle school students
volunteer with the league.
They put in 1,000 volunteer hours, Swanson said.
Thats a lot of work.
Sonns 11-year-old daughter, Odessa, helps on the
diamond, too.
These games have been going on since I was born,
she said. Ive been here and started helping when I
could.
She ran the bases with Courtney Jaeger, who said she
was too focused on the game to talk to a reporter.
Jaeger is on the same team as Odessas brother,
Kian.
I just met with Courtney and started helping out,
Odessa said.
Both Sonns wife, Tracy, and his other son, Julian,
help out with the teams, too.
Its a family thing for us, Sonn said. Its an amazing
thing. We look forward to it all year.

This week we completed
our distribution of the Fox
Charities $25,000 Matching
Grant funds. Your generous
donations matched by the Fox
Charities $25,000 Matching
Grant has provided $50,000
in poverty assistance to those
in desperate need.
Gracious gratitude to Fox
Charities and all of the donors
from those you provided com-
passionate care for, removing
their pains of poverty. Every
penny of this matching grant was used to provide utility
assistance, shelter, automobile assistance, food, toiletries and
household necessities.

This is how all of us helped:
Rent/Shelter = $29,356.59
Thanks to the Fox Charities Matching Grant and your
generosity, we prevented homelessness for over 40 of our
fellow creations.
This week alone we prevented homelessness for six fami-
lies and provided emergency housing for two families living
in cars. We paid overdue rent for senior citizens and the work-
ing poor to prevent eviction.
Your donations, matched by Fox Charities, provided the
funds necessary to move these already homeless struggling
families from cars to motel rooms, and prevent the anguish
of eviction for seniors and children.

Utilities = $10,125
Phone $300 + Gas $3,800 + Electricity $6,025
generosity, we paid for gas and electric utilities for senior
citizens, the handicapped and for those whose utilities were
about to be disconnected. We paid the cell phone bill for a
senior citizen living all alone.
Many people were suffering with poor health, disabilities
and medical bills. This has caused them to choose between
their health care, food and paying their utilities. God Bless all
of you for providing these much needed utilities.
Food = $3,792.22
generosity, many fellow creations will not go hungry. Many
children do not receive their school provided breakfast and
lunch during the summer months.
This causes an already stretched food budget to be
stretched even further. As many of you see with your own
grocery bills, food prices continue to rise. As gas prices rise,
so do our food costs.
We provided emergency food assistance with gift cards
and emergency volunteer food deliveries. Some of these
fellow creations had very little food to eat. Many had only
been able to purchase a cheap bag of chips or fast food to ght
off the ever present hunger. Your donations helped to ll the
pantries, refrigerators and nourish the bodies for many of our
poverty stricken neighbors. God Bless all of you for removing
hunger.
Transportation = $4,979.12
Thanks to your generous donations, matched by Fox
Charities, we were able to repair three cars for single moth-
ers.
We also assisted with gas vouchers for many struggling
to pay the high cost of gas for their cars. The working poor,
single mothers and senior citizens are being hit hard by the
expense of transportation for work and medical visits. It is an
expense that has taken an ever larger part of the budget for
most fellow Americans.
Household necessities = $461
generosity, we provided household necessities for many.
These items include: blankets, sheets, towels, cleaning sup-
plies, pots and pans, dishes, etc.
For the homeless we sheltered that have often lost all they
own, these items are most appreciated. For those that strug-
gle with budget restraints, and often go without these daily
necessities, these items were gratefully received.

Breaking down where grant money went
RUMOR OF THE WEEK
JOHN HALVERSON/REGIONAL NEWS
LAKE 961 FM DID NOT BURN, is not closing nor is it moving.
But those are the rumors going around based on construction
occuring next door to the station. Keefe owns the building
and they are giving it a beautiful facelift in preparation for
potential tenants, Nancy Douglass, station general manager,
wrote in an email. Weve been asked all kinds of questions
about it. All we know is that we are here to stay, and we are
excited about having new neighbors in the future.
Village board needs civics lesson
At the very least, it was a
fast one.
Some might even call it
sleazy.
No matter how you char-
acterize it, Genoa Citys vil-
lage board hijacked the politi-
cal process last week.
A petition was submitted
to the village to require that
capital projects costing more
than $500,000 go to a refer-
endum for approval.
Hours after that petition was turned in,
the board effectively scuttled the petitioners
goal by passing an ordinance.
That ordinance states that a referendum
can only be held for projects exceeding $2
million. Since a referendum cant override
an already established ordinance, the peti-
tion for a $500,000 limit became moot.
That strategy by the board was appar-
ently legal because even though the peti-
tion was turned in before the ordinance was
passed, it hadnt been certied, so it wasnt
ofcial.
At the root of the petition is concern that
the village may spend money on a new vil-
lage hall. The petitioners are against that
idea.
The board members say
nothing is carved in stone,
that a committee is studying
the issue, and that the peti-
tioners are misguided by mis-
information.
Maybe so. But whose fault
is that?
If the issue was so big that
it festered, board members
should have been going door-
to-door to make their case
and explain the facts.
True, citizens who dont seek out the
facts are culpable to a degree, but the ulti-
mate responsibility for getting out informa-
tion falls on the board especially on an issue
this big.
There should have been enough time for
thoughtful consideration, dissemination of
information and community input. There
still is, but the referendum and the ram-rod-
ding of the ordinance has created drama and
expended energy that could have been used
for conversation instead of controversy.
In other words, it should never have
gotten this far.
The boards biggest mistake, though, was
its refusal to allow public input during dis-
cussion of the ordinance itself. They allowed
comment during the public comment por-
tion of the agenda, but not when the ordi-
nance came up for a vote.
Board members say they were elected
and shouldnt be micromanaged. But
weighing in on a decision on how to spend
$500,000 in a village the size of Genoa City
is hardly day-to-day micromanagement.
Besides, being elected doesnt give one
dictatorial rights, and it isnt the only mech-
anism of a representative democracy.
Referendums and petitions are another
tool of elected government. Theyre part of
the balance of power that the board mem-
bers dont seem to accept.
What is the board afraid of?
If they think theyre right then they
should have summoned a crowd of their
supporters to argue
against those on the
other side. Thats how
these things work.
Sadly, this has
many of the markings
of the city council debates in Lake Geneva a
few years ago.
Maybe Genoa City needs a history
lesson.
The current Genoa City village president
is a leader in the effort against the referen-
dum while the referendum has the strong
support of a former village president.
In Lake Geneva, it was a similar situa-
tion.
The former mayor, or at least his sup-
porters, had issues with the mayor in ofce
at the time.
In that case, the reigning mayor made a
big mistake in by overstepping his bounds
and strong-arming the opposition just as the
village board has now.
The Lake Geneva mayors tactics back-
red.
The debate disintegrated to the point
where it made national news, embarrassed
the city and created bad blood that may
never be resolved.
In a democratic society, right ought to rule
the day, not might.
The winners today
may turn out to be
the losers of tomor-
row if they dont look
for common ground.
Someone needs to be grown up enough
in Genoa City to see whats happening and
to step in to be a conciliator.
Halverson is editor and general man-
ager of the Regional News.
No matter how you characterize it,
Genoa Citys village board hijacked
the political process last week.
What do you
think of Rolling
Stones cover?
The Rolling Stone cover that features Boston Mara-
thon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has generated
outrage in Boston and beyond. On the Regional News
Facebook page, we asked our readers for their opinions
on the issue.
n Chris Coughlin: Freedom of press! Never thought
the day would come when Boston of all cities
would be bullied by martial law, fear, and sur-
render their rights as citizens. For shame.
n Ray Michalowski: The press likes drama...the
press is bullcrap, as is rolling stone.
n Greg Blizard: Dont buy it. Dollars speak loud.
n Stacey Cygan: We have pulled it off the shelves
and quarantined it at Walgreens!
n Daniel Maus: Sad. Giving these terrorists the
attention they sought.
n John McCrory: So that loser is on the cover
and On the Bus With WILLIE NELSON is in
small print? What the hell is wrong with Rolling
Stone?
n Sam Asani: Disgraceful and un-American.

HISTORY
To the Editor:
I would like to extend my heartfelt
thanks and appreciation to the indi-
vidual near Fair Oaks Road and the
amazing Town of Linn Police Depart-
ment for recovering my wallet (totally
intact) and for everyones efforts to
contact and locate me.
My husband and I were visiting a
friend on Fair Oaks Road on June 24.
We were in a hurry to leave in order
to visit with other friends in Illinois
before our return ight to Massachu-
setts. It wasnt until the morning of
the 25th that I realized I didnt have
my wallet. Panic set in!
The short version is that I had
inadvertently left my wallet on top of
our rental car. (Stupidly is probably a
more appropriate term, but Im being
kind to myself.) Fortunately, it fell off
on Fair Oaks Road, and a kind and
honest soul brought it immediately to
the Linn Police Department. It took
several phone calls and a lot of extra
driving around on the parts of many
people, but all was well in the end.
Thank you so much to all involved
for a wonderful ending and for
enabling me to retrieve my wallet.
Getting through TSA at OHare Air-
port for my return ight would have
otherwise been challenging without a
hard copy of my photo ID. God bless
and thank you again.

ISSUE OF THE WEEK
SUBMITTED BY WALTER LEE FLEMING
AND THE ANSWER IS ... last week we asked readers if they knew the identity
of the members of the 1932 Lake Geneva High School basketball team. Loyal
reader Carolyn Wareld has at least part of the answer. The coach on the left
side of this picture is Walter Jonas, she wrote in an email. I may be wrong but,
the standing fella on the right appears to be a teacher/coach named Mr. Heiling.
I recognize Ollie Fleming as he was the father of one of my long time friends and
worked at the Wisconsin Southern Gas Company for years.

LETTERS POLICY
Another view of the July 4 riots
EDITORS NOTE: I was general man-
ager of The Week when the following
story ran in 1992. Back then we had an
editor named Sandy Halpin who believed
in giving novice writers a chance. She
sure hit paydirt when she had Jennifer
Schaefer of Lake Geneva do the following
story on the Lake Geneva riots of July 4,
1967. At the time she was a senior at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is
the daughter of Trish Schaefer of Lake
Geneva. The story was edited to update
and for space for space purposes.
John Halverson, editor
They smashed store windows. They
jeered and spat at police ofcers. They
uprooted telephones booths. They killed
Andy Gump. They even caused Rex the
police dog a concussion. They were the
youthful rioters who turned Lake Geneva
into their own chaotic playground on the
Fourth of July weekend in 1967.
It was sheer terror, said Audrey Mil-
liette, who owned Eleven Gables Inn on
The Lake. I was out of my wits.
And understandably so, since Mil-
liettes bed and breakfast house was tar-
geted by the vandalizing youths in the
riot.
Things were happening all around
the building, Milliette said. Kids were
pounding on the doors, scaling the fences
and somebody even put a brick through
my dining room window.
Indeed, Lake Geneva was virtually
torn apart in that Independence Day
weekend rampage.
Most dramatically, the citys landmark
life-sized statue of comic strip character
Andy Gump was smashed to pieces on
Saturday night. Originally in 1927 Andy
Gump had perched on the lakefront estate
of his creator, Sidney Smith, before being
transported to Flat Iron Park in 1944.
This particular act of violence was
perhaps the most senseless of all the
destruction in the city over the long pre-
Independence Day weekend, stated the
July 6 issue of the Lake Geneva Regional
News. And it seems the impact of the stat-
ues desecration was even understood by
the vandals themselves, since messages
were scratched into automobiles announc-
ing simply the death: of Andy Gump.
While the 600 members of the Wis-
consin National Guard were obvious help
to the local police, one Lake Geneva resi-
dent, who chose not to be identied, did
not appreciate their presence.
This man, who was home from college
at the time, described being held at gun-
point by a National Guardsman. The Lake
Geneva man said that when he pulled
his car into a parking space, a National
Guardsman stepped out of the shadows
pointing his gun at my head and ordering
me to move.
Even after the resident explained that
his girlfriends father owned the property,
the guardsman kept his gun pointed at the
drivers head. I think the National Guard
added to the tension, added the local
man.
Despite the looting and vandalizing,
most Lake Geneva residents remember
the crowd as relatively harmless. They
werent a mean, nasty, pugnacious type
of crowd, said townsperson Tom McMa-
nus. They were just trying to raise a little
hell.
According to Lake Geneva Alderman
Shelly Shepstone, who was a police ofcer
at the time, there was little physical vio-
lence. It was mostly just words and push-
ing and shoving, he said.
But the riot was not very happy for one
of the newest members of the police force,
Rex the dog, who was hit by a hurled re-
cracker. According to newspaper reports,
injuries to both rioters and police ofcers
consisted of mostly cuts and bruises. For-
tunately, Rex recovered.
According to Shepstone, the police
force handled the situation with patience
and reserve to avoid further agitating riot-
ers. It probably could have gotten really
bad if we had started swinging clubs and
tear-gassing people, he said.
And although the police ofcers
became edgy and irritated after many
hours on the scene, Shepstone said he
saw no police ofcers get carried away
with their authority. He said, I never saw
anyone get out of hand and work anyone
over with a nightstick or anything.
Milliette, however, did. In fact she
watched as one of her young frater-
nity guests had the whole side of his
face crushed in by a recently deputized
bouncer from a local bar.
Lake Geneva mayor at the time, Emil
Johnejack, nally ordered the city sealed
off from incoming trafc, made busi-
nesses close early and enforced a strict
curfew, the disorderly youngsters quickly
left town.
Then, after rampaging through Wil-
liams Bay and Delavan, the caravan of
youngsters ran into a roadblock near Dela-
van. And even those cars that managed to
turn around were met by trailing National
Guard units.
After being rounded up in a nearby
eld, the rioters were interviewed, charged
and arrested.
While some parents treated their chil-
drens behavior as simply a mistake, other-
swere furious. One man was seen pushing
his long-haired son into a womens rest-
room yelling, Dont come out until your
hair is the length its supposed to be!
Most Lake Genevans attribute the
uprising to the media. And this viewpoint
is certainly justiable, for the national
news media did play a substantial role in
the riots.
For not only did major Chicago and
Milwaukee newspapers print ongoing sto-
ries, but CBS News covered the action on
both Monday and Tuesday evenings.
One person even saw television crews
encouraging people to cause trouble. After
setting up their cameras and equipment,
the broadcasters would tell kids to go
ahead and riot now. And the kids wanted
to show off for the camera, he said.
Johnejack was even more specic in
his accusations. According to him, the
popular 1960s dance the Twist was to
blame for the rioting.
He condemned the dance as disgust-
ing and revolting at a city council meet-
ing following the riots.
Many Lake Geneva citizens believe the
1967 riot was a premeditated rather than a
spontaneous action. Although there is no
concrete proof for this belief, Shepstone
said, Who knows? There may have been
some people who were paid to come up
here as instigators.
Shepstone described todays youth as
more civic minded and concerned about
peoples rights and private properties
than the generation of rebellious young-
sters that tore apart Lake Geneva.
I dont know why they didnt do what
they normally come up here for, he said,
which is to drink, pick up girls and just
have a good time. I dont know why they
didnt just stick to that.
Editors note: The July 4th saga con-
tinues next week, with two commentar-
ies that take a whole different view of the
situation.
Beware
hucksters
Sad to say,
we are a nation
of hucksters.
Selling seems
to take prece-
dence over peo-
ples privacy
and common
courtesy. Now
adver t i s er s
see robots
as splendid
opportunity. But robo calls are offensive, to
say nothing about interrupting routines.
A few minutes ago I took a call beginning,
Is this Teresa? If this is Teresa ... Hanging
up I wondered where this was going. Or was
it a charity?
If businesses can make your phone ring
anytime they want, and force messages on
you, and no one is on the other end except
automated digital machinery, Big Brother
surely has arrived. It is scary to think where
such things could lead.
Several times in recent months a youthful,
energetic male voice declared, Dont hang up!
Congratulations! I didnt feel congratulatory,
but I did hang up. What was he selling?
By habit I hang up instantly. My daugh-
ter says why dont I look at the 800 number
on caller ID and not answer. But the ringing
continues, and besides Ive taken to collecting
these automated infringements on my private
life.
Think about it. Digital machinery does all
the work. The sponsor doesnt have to talk to
anybody The only human directly involved is
me and my privacy.
Ive been on no-call lists, but they dont
seem to be the answer. If you can use the phone
to make anyone elses ring, it is a stretch to call
it credible selling, to say nothing of invading
private space. What really bothers me is the
Big Brother dimensions of this.
On one occasion I was expecting a
follow-up call about a friends death. When
I answered, the greeting went, If you are a
senior citizen ... It was a little more harass-
ment in an already stressful situation.
Congratulations! You have pre-qualied
for... Five words was all I needed. American
hucksters in action.
There is a sad dimension to all this. Some-
times the come-ons are from charities. Or I
think they are charities.
Do you or someone you love smoke? I
wasnt curious (or tolerant) enough to nd out
where that one was going either.
Considering how often I am otherwise
interrupted in the course of a day, these added
unsolicited intrusions take on serious propor-
tions.
Hello! This is a very important message.
If it were, wouldnt you think a real person
would be delivering it?
Hawking, peddling, showmanship, call it
what you will common courtesy is not part
of the process.
Oh, oh, theres the phone: This is Lisa
calling about your credit card account.
Johnson was a long-time English teacher
at Badger High School.

Although almost every
cook has scores of recipes
calling for chicken, most
are always on the lookout for a new recipe or two. None of
these recipes are difcult to prepare, but any one of them
may become a family favorite.
Charcoal Broiled Lemon Chicken uses young fryers
that are split and will cook in about an hour on the grill or
half an hour in the broiler of the stove. Garlic salad dress-
ing mix, lemon juice and butter are the remaining ingredi-
ents. Serve them with a large green salad, sliced tomatoes
and a great desert for a simple feast.
When the day is cool enough for a meal from the oven,
Parmesan Baked Chicken would be a good choice. Ital-
ian salad dressing marinates the cut up chicken, then it
is shaken in a bag containing bread crumbs, Parmesan
cheese, parsley and paprika. The chicken bakes about an
hour. Select a fresh vegetable or two, whatever may be
ready in the garden, and a delicious meal can be prom-
ised.
Sweet and Spicy Chicken calls for salsa, peach pre-
serves, taco seasoning and boneless, skinless chicken
breasts. The cut up chicken is tossed with the taco season-
ing and browned in oil. The salsa and preserves are stirred
in and everything cooks in less than 30 minutes. It can be
served over rice or rolled into our tortillas. Sweet corn
and fresh fruit could nish the menu.
A main dish choice, Ginger Chicken on Spinach Salad
is as attractive as it is tasty. Raw chicken is marinated
with fresh ginger, soy sauce and rice vinegar, then cooked
in the broiler. A salad of spinach, avocado, red onion and
cherry tomatoes is prepared, the chicken is cut into strips
and added to the greens, then balsmic vinaigrette dressing
goes over all. Serve it with jasmine rice and crusty rolls.
CHARCOAL BROILED LEMON CHICKEN
1 cup margarine
1 cup lemon juice
2 envelopes garlic salad dressing mix
2 broiler-fryer chickens, split
Melt butter in saucepan. Blend lemon juice with dress-
ing mix and stir into butter. Cool, cover and refrigerate.
Place chicken on prepared grill, about 6 inches from
grey coals. Grill, turning every 15 minutes until cooked,
about an hour. Heat sauce until warm, brush on chicken
and grill 30 minutes longer, turning every three or four
minutes.
To oven broil, brush chicken with warm sauce, place
skin side down on broiler pan. Broil seven to eight inches
from heat for 15 minutes; turn chicken, brush with sauce
and broil 15 minutes, until browned.
SWEET AND SPICY CHICKEN
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 to 2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 11-ounce jar chunky salsa
1/2 cup peach preserves
Hot cooked rice or our tortillas
Cut chicken breasts into 1/2-inch cubes; place in large
resealable plastic bag. Add taco seasoning and toss to coat
all sides of chicken.
In skillet, brown chicken in oil; do not crowd. Add
salsa and preserves to skillet; stir to combine. Bring to
boil; reduce heat. cover and simmer three minutes, until
meat juices run clear. Serve over rice or roll into warm
our tortillas. Makes four servings.
PARMESAN BAKED CHICKEN
1/4 cup Italian salad dressing
3 broiler-fryer chickens, about 1 1/2 pound each, cut up
1 slightly beaten egg
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup ne dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Pour salad dressing into a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking
dish; add chicken, turning to coat all sides. Cover and
refrigerate four hours, occasionally spooning dressing
over chicken pieces.
When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Drain chicken, reserving dressing. Combine egg and
water in bowl. Combine remaining ingredients in large
plastic bag. Dip each piece of chicken into egg mixture;
shake a few pieces at a time in crumb mixture to coat.
Return to baking pan;sprinkle remaining crumbs
over chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes,
until tender. Makes four servings.
GINGER CHICKEN ON SPINACH SALAD
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 pound skinless, boneless thin chicken breast or cutlets
2 6-ounce bags baby spinach, washed
1/2 cup nely sliced red onion
1/2 cup sliced avocado
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette
Combine soy sauce, vinegar and ginger in large ziptop
bag. Add chicken, turn to coat.
Line broiler pan with foil; heat broiler.
Remove chicken from marinade; place on broiler pan
rack. Discard marinade. Broil chicken two minute per
side or until cooked through. Remove to cutting board;
allow to stand ve minutes; slice crosswise in strips.
Combine remaining ingredients to make salad.
Arrange on individual plates. Divide chicken strips on top
of salads. Add dressing and serve. Serves four.

MARTY AND DAVE ALTWIES are celebrating their 50th
wedding Anniversary with friends and family in Lake Geneva
which they now call home. They met in West Lafayette, Ind.,
while attending Purdue University. Dave graduated with an
electrical engineering degree and Marty with a degree in
education. The couple married on June 15, 1963, in West
Lafayette. They have three children and ve grandchildren
who reside in California, New York and Wisconsin. Daves
position in senior management took the family to Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan and
North Carolina before settling in Sarasota, Fla. A year ago the
