After more than 20 years as executive director of the
Lake Geneva Economic Development Corp., Joe Cardiff,
has announced that he will retire effective Dec. 31.
Cardiff has led the LGEDC since 1992.
Under Cardiffs term as executive director, the LGEDC
has continued to develop the Lake Geneva business park
and has bought another 100 acres for a new business park
on the south side of the city.
The corporation also organizes seminars to help small
business owners cope with marketplace challenges. This
fall the series will feature early-morning seminars called
Business Tools for Success.
Still, the LGEDC has a ways to go to educate locals on
the importance of light industrial manufacturers, Cardiff
said in a telephone interview late last week.
Cardiff said that when Lake Geneva is mentioned,
many people, including natives, think of hospitality and
tourism.
I think the thing thats missing is the lack of under-
standing about the contributions of manufacturing, he
said.
Lake Geneva is home to 16 manufacturing companies,
including Northern Precision Casting Co., Brunk Indus-
tries and R & L Spring.
It is also home to Trostel, a company that began as a
leather works in Milwaukee during the 1800s, Cardiff
said.
Founded as the nonprot Lake
Geneva Development Corp. in 1981, and
since renamed the Lake Geneva Eco-
nomic Development Corp., the LGEDC
has worked with the Lake Geneva City
Council to advance business develop-
ment in the city.
LGEDC is run by an unpaid, 12-
member voluntary board of directors.
The board members represent differ-
ent organizations and individuals, and
no two members may be from the same
private business.
Cardiff has been an ofcer and board member of the
LGEDC since its inception and was also a member of the
board of directors of the corporations for-prot predeces-
sor.

Park becomes art emporium
DA clears deputies in fatal shooting
By Robert Ireland
RIreland@lakegenevanews.net
ELKHORN Four Walworth County Sheriffs Depu-
ties who shot and killed a man armed with a sheriffs shot-
gun acted within the scope of the law, according to Wal-
worth County District Attorney Daniel Necci.
On June 13, Jeremiah Krubert, 39, arrived at his moth-
ers home where he brutally attacked his mothers boy-
friend and allegedly set the kitchen on re.
When Walworth County Sheriffs Deputy Todd Neu-
mann arrived at the home, Krubert came at Neumann with
a knife and Neumann red multiple times at Krubert.
Neumann backed away from Krubert and demanded
he get down. Neumanns rearm had a mechanical fail-
ure. Krubert kept approaching Neumann and said, Kill
me, kill me.
As Neumann
backed away, he
tripped over an elec-
trical box. When
Neumann was on the
ground, Krubert ran
past Neumann and
got into Neumanns
squad car and drove
away.
After crashing the
squad in a eld, Kru-
bert exited the squad
car and confronted deputies Wayne Blanchard, Garth
Frami and Jeffrey Shaw with the shotgun that was in the
squad car. Blanchard demanded that Krubert put down
the weapon.
While confronting Krubert, the deputies saw the pres-
sure-switch light, which is installed on all Walworth County
Sheriffs Ofce shotguns, go on. Krubert also attempted to
chamber a round into the shotgun. The deputies then shot
and killed Krubert.
Anytime deadly force is required from our law enforce-
ment personnel and anytime a loss of life is the result, a
tragedy has occurred in our county, Necci wrote in his
report. Furthermore, anytime mental illness is a compo-
nent of such events, I would suggest that the magnitude of
the resulting tragedy is greatly amplied. Many lives were
changed dramatically on June 13, 2013, and I know that
you and the people of Walworth County will join me in
praying for healing for all involved or affected, as well as,
wisdom for the future.

Raises for members of the Lake Geneva City Council
and the mayor will start to kick in after the next round of
municipal elections in 2014.
But its still not the way to get rich.
On a 5-2 vote, with one alderman excused, the coun-
cil voted to raise the mayors annual pay from $6,000
to $7,500, and pay for council members from $3,500 to
$4,000.
Alderwoman Sarah Hill, who chairs the councils
nance, license and regulation committee, moved to
approve pay raises.
I think its a serious job with serious responsibilities,
Hill said.
She said elected ofcials compensation was an issue
that probably should be studied annually, but, she added,
Im sure it wont be studied every year.
The last pay raise for the mayor and council members
was in 2008. Hill said she was sure it would be another ve
years before the council discussed raises again.
Aldermen Jeff Wall and Sturg Taggart voted against
the raise.
This council wont see those pay increases. Those
elected in the 2014 and 2015 municipal elections will
receive the raises
Wall said he didnt think the pay raise was needed.
Were here to give back to the community, Wall said.
Mayor Jim Connors also said he believed the raises
were too much as proposed.

Construction has started
on the new concession build-
ing at Dunn Field.
The new building was
approved by the Lake Geneva
City Council on June 24.
Gilbank Construction,
Clinton, was awarded the
contract on a $298,600
bid. The concession stand
and restrooms will have a
metal seam roof and will be
heated.
Its located near the skate
park, the planned location of
the disc golf course and the
proposed location of a dog
park.
The metal seam roof
is expected to last longer
than a shingled roof and a
heated building can be used
throughout the year.
The new building is
being built on the site of the
old concession stand which
was built in the early 1990s,
when baseball was still being
played at Dunn Field.
City Administrator
Dennis Jordan said con-
struction is expected be
completed in September.
Funding is coming from
the Tax Increment Finance
district budget.
The project passed the
city council on a 7-1 vote.
Alderman Jeff Wall opposed
the new building saying he
couldnt see spending nearly
$300,000 for restrooms and
a concession building.

THE GENEVA LAKE CONSERVANCY presented the Olmsted
Award for Landscape and Conservation to Patrick and Shirley
Ryan at a recent meeting. Pictured are (from left) Robert
Kockars, former chairman of the conservancy, the Ryans and
Charles Colman, chairman of the conservancy.
The Geneva Lake Con-
servancy announced Pat and
Shirley Ryan as the 2013
recipients of its Olmsted
Award which recognizes
excellence in landscape con-
servation. The Ryans were
presented the award at a pri-
vate session in Lake Geneva
on Saturday. They were rec-
ognized for their impact on
conservation landscaping in
the Geneva Lakes area.
Robert Klockars, past
chairman of the Geneva
Lake Conservancy, pre-
sented the award to the
Ryans. Over the past 42
years, the Ryans have cared
for, restored and enhanced
House in the Woods, result-
ing in a landscape architec-
ture that blends wonderfully
with the architecture of the
house, creating an outdoor
landscape that is just as
much a part of their home as
the house is. While the Olm-
sted roots are ever present,
the love and respect that the
Ryans have for the property
is evident, having added to
the landscape vision that
the Olmsteds had, creating
a dynamic, living organism
that reects their commit-
ment and love of the prop-
erty, Klockars said.
The Ryans commented
that the House in the Woods
property is a place where
their family gathers and is
full of landscape inuences,
among them Olmsted. Their
work in maintaining the
wooded area of the property
has been an ongoing project,
in the manner that Thomas
Jefferson embraced, and
their vegetable garden is
in the manner of George
Washington, in which espal-
ier apple trees form the fenc-
ing.
The Olmsted Award is
named after the Olmsted
family, visionary landscape
conservationists. John Olm-
sted was the founder and
rst president of the Ameri-
can Society of Landscape
Architects and a partner of
Olmsted Bros., of Brookline,
Mass. His uncle and adop-
tive father, Frederick Law
Olmsted, designed the land-
scapes of New Yorks Central
Park and the 1893 Chicago
Worlds Fair. Cousin and
half-brother Frederick Law
Olmsted Jr. joined forces
with John in managing the
rm.
The Olmsted brothers
company had an extraor-
dinary long-term impact
on landscape conservation,
including the Geneva Lake
area. Several properties on
the north shore of Geneva
Lake and the grounds of
Yerkes Observatory reect
their landscape designs,
Robert Klockars said.
The Geneva Lake Con-
servancy began in 1977
as the Committee to Save
Geneva Lake by founders
John Anderson, Bill Turner
and Norm Barry. In 1982 the
committee formed another
organization called Geneva
Lake Land Conservancy
to protect the land around
the lake. The two groups
merged in 1992 and became
the Geneva Lake Conser-
vancy. Since then, the GLC
has expanded to protect all
lakes in the area, including
Geneva, Como and Delavan,
woodlands, open spaces,
wetlands and farmland.

Drive Sober or get
pulled over
The city of Lake Geneva
Police Department will be
out in force along with hun-
dreds of other law enforce-
ment agencies throughout
Wisconsin for the annual
Drive Sober or Get Pulled
Over crackdown on
drunken drivers from Aug.
16 through Sept. 2.
Drunken driving is one
of the most prevalent and
deadly crimes in Wisconsin,
according to the Wisconsin
Department of Transporta-
tion. Last year, 223 people
were killed and nearly
3,000 injured in alcohol-
related trafc crashes in
the state. There were nearly
27,000 convictions for
drunken driving in the state
last year.
Drunken driving is
entirely preventable. You
can designate a sober driver
or nd an alternative way
home. But if you make the
irresponsible choice to
drive while impaired, our
ofcers will be on the look-
out, and we will arrest you,
Sgt. Bridgett Way said. The
devastating consequences
of a drunken driving arrest
include major embarrass-
ment, expensive penalties,
mandatory installation of
an ignition interlock device,
and possibly, jail time. Driv-
ing drunk will be a decision
youll regret the rest of your
life, if you are lucky enough
to live.
To help prevent drunken
driving, the Zero in Wis-
consin trafc safety initia-
tive has a free Drive Sober
mobile app, which includes
features like Find a Ride,
blood alcohol estimator and
designated driver selector
to help a person get home
safely and achieve zero pre-
ventable deaths on Wiscon-
sin roadway. The app can
be downloaded by visiting

August 15, 2013 The Regional News 3A
By Chris Schultz
According to Mike Palmer, his family
originally came to the Geneva Lake area in
1847.
While not among the very rst families
to arrive here, the Palmers were still among
the earliest settlers.
Being here since the mid-1800s is long
enough that a county road is named after
them near where the Palmers rst settled.
And there are still relatives who live along
Palmer Road, Mike Palmer said.
But the centennial Palmer Family Farm,
now owned by Mike and Libby Palmer, isnt
on Palmer Road.
Palmer Road is north of Lake Geneva,
between Como and the town of Delavan.
The Palmer Family Farm is south of
Lake Geneva at W3861 Highway B, town of
Linn.
According to Mike, Avery Palmer, his
great-great-great-grand uncle, bought the
land in 1880. By then, the Palmer family
had been living in Walworth County for a
generation.
A year later, the land was sold to Mikes
great-great grandfather, Byron Palmer, said
Mike, 66.
Mike said he believes Avery bought the
land with the intention of selling it to his
nephew.
When Byron was no longer able to farm,
Averys two sons, one of them Bertram
Palmer, Mikes great-grandfather, took
over.
In the 1950s, the brothers sold the farm
to Allyn Palmer, Mikes father.
Mike was raised on the farm, and he
and Libby bought it in 1991.
Along the way, they also raised three
children on the farm, and now, the Palmers
son and their three granddaughters, ages
4 to 11, also live on the farm that Avery
bought.
The Palmers still run the farm, now at
176 acres, growing wheat and hay and rais-
ing Holstein heifers. Mike said the family
actually farms about 66 acres, and they rent
out 110 acres.
Sometime around the late 1800s, when
railroads began crossing the county from
all directions, a Palmer sold an acre of the
family farm for $1 because he believed the
train trafc would benet the entire area,
Mike said. The creamery is gone, replaced
by the Burlington Feed Store.
The railroad, once the Milwaukee Road,
now the Wisconsin & Southern, is still
there.
The rail line, originally owned by the
Milwaukee Road, still bisects the Palmer
property. Originally, it went to a creamery,
he said. Now, the line goes to a feed store.
While this Palmer farm isnt all that
close to the other Palmers, Mike said that
his past relatives had little difculty or
reluctance to spend a day travelling by
horse and buggy to visit each other.
He said it seems ironic that once the
family farmers switched from horses to
speedier tractors, they actually had less
time to visit one another.
Mike has done more than farm. Hes
participated in local government, serv-
ing on the Linn Town Board. And that is a
family tradition.
Mike said his father, Allyn, grandfather
Bert, and great-grandfathers Byron Palmer
and James Reek served on the Linn Town
Board, as well.

He was modest about his duties and
activities as executive director over the
past 20 years.
I just tried to keep the whole thing

Cardiff and his family moved to Lake
Geneva in 1972, when he was named Presi-
dent of the Chaney Instrument Co.
He was president of the company until
it was purchased by Primex in 1987.
Cooperation between the nonprot
LGEDC and the city resulted in the devel-
opment of the 124-acre business park on
Edwards Boulevard in the 1990s.
With just ve lots left to develop in the
park, the LGEDC has recently purchased
100 acres further south on the Highway
120 by-pass for another business park.
Because the LGEDC is nonprot, it was
able to help the city buy and develop Vet-
erans Park and Fermano Park, which is
within the business park.
The LGEDC has also coordinated
improvements in the downtown and Wrig-
ley Drive areas, and has helped organize the
development of the Highway 120 by-pass.
Cardiff, 85, said he has no plans to slow
down.
Ill do some other things, he said.
Although he conceded hell probably spend
some time at the family cabin in Door
County, as well.
Cardiff said he has no plans to leave
Lake Geneva.
He said he and his late wife, Dorothy,
had six children, four of whom live in Lake
Geneva.
Cardiff said his four grandchildren and
six great-grandchildren also live in Lake
Geneva.
The LGEDC Board of Directors is in the
process of searching for Cardiffs replace-
ment for the part-time position.

Board ofcially rejects citizens petition
By Robert Ireland
GENOA CITY On Aug. 8 the village
board ofcially rejected a citizens petition
requiring referendum approval for capital
improvement projects that cost more than
$500,000.
The direct legislation petition was
turned over to the village-clerk treasurer
on July 11, the same day as the regular vil-
lage board meeting. A petition must be cer-
tied by the village clerk-treasurer before
its valid. The village had 15 days to certify
the signatures.
On July 11, after the petition was turned
in, but before the signatures on the peti-
tion were certied, the board approved an
ordinance that requires voter approval for
projects costing more than $2 million. Last
month, Village Attorney Linda Gray said a
direct legislation petition cant conict with
an existing ordinance.
The board unanimously rejected the
citizens petition during its August meet-
ing.
The unworkable wording ... makes it
dysfunctional. And it conicts with our
existing ordinance, Trustee Alan Cornue
gave as reasons to reject the ordinance.
Gray said the wording of the ordinance
prohibited the village from spending any
money even for engineering and plan-
ning for projects that cost more than
$500,000.
During the Aug. 8 meeting, Gray said
230 signatures were collected and 225 were
valid. The group only needed 110 signa-
tures.
Board members
argued that the pro-
posed ordinance would
be impractical because
they couldnt receive
bids for projects before
putting them to referen-
dum.
This ordinance was
completely unwork-
able, Village Trustee
Roger Cagann said. We
couldnt even get the
footwork started to get
it done.
Heidi Crow, who
circulated the petition,
said she spoke to her
attorney, Steven Wassel
of Delavan, and believes
the board could get
estimates for projects
before putting the proj-
ect to referendum.
An audience
member asked board
members if they would
support the ordinance if
the questionable word-
ing was eliminated.
Trustee Karen Bull-
ock said she wouldnt
support the ordinance
because it would require
voter approval for road
projects.
Bullock said if a road in the Hunters
Ridge subdivision needs repairs, voters
throughout the village would decide
whether the project has merit.
Crow responded by saying it would be
the boards responsibility to make its case
for the road repairs.
Cagann said that board members are
elected to make decisions.
We have elections every year. If you
dont like whats going on, you vote us out,
he said.
Village President Bill Antti said the
ordinance was modeled after Fontanas
ordinance. Fontanas ordinance originally
required approval for any projects that cost
more than $1.5 million, but that amount
increased annually and is now for projects
that cost more than $2 million.
Residents were critical of the village
modeling the law after Fontanas ordinance.
They said the two communities werent
comparable.
Trustee Philip Traskaski said he also
wouldnt have supported direct legislation
if the questionable wording wasnt included,
and echoed Bullocks concerns about road
repairs.
We have had a referendum for a
$35,000 bug sprayer, Crow responded.
Comments from the public
Last month, the board allowed public
comments at the beginning of the meeting,
but not as it discussed individual items.
Antti changed that procedure during the
Aug. 8 meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Antti
asked for public comments on items that
werent on the agenda. He then allowed
people to make comments on agenda items
as the board discussed them.
Most of the comments were directed at
the proposed village hall project and the
citizens petition for a direct referendum
ordinance. The board is investigating its
options with the village hall.
Board members have said the build-
ing is too small and in need of repairs. The
board is looking at upgrading the building,
expanding it, doing nothing except envi-
ronmental improvements or building a new
facility.
Several residents said the board didnt
do an adequate job of informing citizens
about the possible project.
In response, Antti said that several arti-
cles appeared in the Lake Geneva Regional
News, other local papers and information
was sent out with the tax bill.
The village also created a website about
the project at sites.google.com/site/gcvil-
lagehall.
Other criticisms were made because of
the villages tax rate. Village ofcials are
saying the tax rate will go down next year.
The villages Tax Increment District, which
includes about half of the village, is set to
close. When the TID closes the villages por-
tion of the tax rate is expected to decline.
Everyones taxes will come down, I can
promise you that, Cagann said.

Village may get rid of impact fees
By Robert Ireland
GENOA CITY Village President Bill Antti wants
to eliminate impact fees for new homes built in the vil-
lage.
Developers pay impact fees to the village for specic
purposes, and restrictions are placed on the village on
how it spends that money.
For example, park impact fees must be used for park
improvements. The village board discussed eliminating
impact fees during its Aug. 8 meeting.
Village Attorney Linda Gray said that if impact fees
arent used within seven years, the money is refunded.
Antti said the board would be better off attempting
to get impact fees through a developers agreement.
Throughout Walworth County, municipalities have
successfully required developers to donate land for
public services such as a schools, parks or re depart-
ments.
Trustee Alan Cornue was critical of the proposal, and
said the same fees should be applied to everybody.
Thats not a fee thats uniformly applied, Cornue
said. It becomes a negotiation tool and basically a
method of extortion.
Antti argued that with the restrictions placed on
spending impact fees, the village is likely to return the
money after seven years.
Gray said the money for impact fees cant go to main-
tenance or new equipment.
For example, you cant buy a squad car, she said.
Trustee Roger Cagann also questioned eliminating
the impact fees.
If we approve this, someone can build on a lot that
exists and get a free ride, he said.
Cagann asked if a study was done when the village
developed its impact fees. Other trustees responded that
a study had been done.
Cagann suggested tabling the item until more research
was completed. His motion to table was approved on a 6-
1 vote with Antti voting against it.
After the meeting, Antti explained why he voted
against tabling the impact fees.
I thought we should have voted on it and eliminated
it, he said. I dont think they are relevant to the village
anymore.
Other communities have also discussed eliminat-
ing or reducing impact fees. Gray said the city of Lake
Geneva is considering eliminating impact fees.
The village of Walworth recently reduced its sewer
impact fee from $3,730 to $730.
Thats not a fee thats uniformly applied, Trustee
Alan Cornue said about including impact fees in
the developers agreement. It becomes a negotia-
tion tool and basically a method of extortion.
Sheriffs department
investigates open
meetings complaint
By Robert Ireland
GENOA CITY A Walworth County sheriffs detec-
tive investigated the village for a complaint of an open
meetings law violation.
Det. Robert Sharpe said he completed his investiga-
tion and it was referred to the Walworth County District
Attorneys Ofce for an opinion.
The complaint was made by attorney Steven Wassel,
who represents citizens who circulated a petition to force
the village to have direct legislation for projects that cost
more than $500,000. Wassel said he spoke to District
Attorney Daniel Necci and the sheriffs department.
Necci said he hasnt yet seen the investigative mate-
rials. He also said after he sees the material, it will take
some time to review it.
For strategic purposes, Wassel has declined to state the
specic nature of the complaint.
However, on July 11, Wassels clients handed in a peti-
tion with 230 signatures on it. The petition required direct
legislation, meaning a referendum vote, for projects cost-
ing more than $500,000. Later that night, the village
board approved an ordinance for direct legislation for
projects costing more than $2 million. At that time, Village
Attorney Linda Gray said the petition cant conict with an
existing ordinance, and the petition had not yet been certi-
ed by the village and therefore wasnt ofcial.

Principal says project may be done in September
Construction wont delay start of school
By Steve Targo
steve@lakegenevanews.net
LINN Heavy machinery rolls across
the sand outside Reek School.
Bricks pulled from the outside walls
lie in a mountainous heap. Entire rooms
appear gutted by storms, their ceiling tiles
gone, wires hanging down like jungle ser-
pents.
And workers are everywhere on top
of the roof, on scaffolding, painting the
inside walls, or making their way through
corridors cluttered with boxes and class-
room furniture.
People are like, Are you going to be
ready for school? Yes we are, Principal
Samantha Polek said Aug. 7.
She said the current target date for
project completion is end of September.
In the meantime, the desks for Polek
and Administrative Assistant Ronda Davis
are in the schools library, as they
await construction of the new
front entrance, foyer and ofce.
It feels like summer camp,
Polek said. I love the library.
Part of me always wanted to be a
librarian.
She said she nds construc-
tion in general fascinating, and
it has added a new element to
her summer. Polek discussed her
fascination with construction
the trades, the machines and
shared numerous photos she has
taken throughout the process.
It looks worse than it is, she said
about the cluttered hallways and rooms.
A lot of that is supercial, can be cleaned
very quickly. Our custodians are working
very hard every day.
Polek admitted there is a general con-
cern that Reek wont be ready when stu-
dents will begin the 2013-14 school year
Tuesday, Sept. 3.
The concern is understandable. After
all, no one can park in the lot, which for
the moment is a desert ruled by machines
some of which have tires bigger than an
average person.
It has created minor difculties for
people like Polek just to make it in to
school.
But Polek didnt seem bothered.
This project is something everybody
wanted and it was so needed that to be
slightly inconvenienced, it doesnt even
matter, she said.
The project
It took a couple years and three refer-
endum elections before the Reek district
could reach this point.
Twice in 2011, a $3.9 million renovation
project failed to receive voter approval. On
Nov. 6, 2012, the majority of district voters
approved a $2.8 million project.
Deteriorating bricks and roofs were a
driving factor in the school boards rea-
soning behind the project. Other aspects
of the project include improving technol-
ogy and school safety.
Two important parts of the ongoing
safety work are the parking lot and the
main entrance to the school.
A 180-foot access drive will be
installed east of the lot. Also, 36 parking
stalls will be added, and trafc ow will
be redirected so that the west side of the
L-shaped lot will be for buses only. Motor-
ists dropping off and picking up children
will use the eastern side of the lot.
The main entrance will have a foyer,
ending the days of being buzzed in to enter
the schools main hallway without passing
by the front ofce. Visitors will have to go
through the ofce, once the new entrance
is completed.
Everythings going very well and on
schedule, Polek said. However, this is a
crucial timing toward the end of August.
She said the project itself, headed by
Scherrer Construction, Burlington, con-
sists of multiple smaller projects one
group is working on the brick, another
the roof. There are groups working on
the parking lot, the new entrance, several
inside the school each handling their
tasks and it creates a sort of
domino effect, Polek said.
Were still planning to have
the west entrance ready, she said.
We may just have to use that
west side of the school children
know it as the bus entrance. Were
considering the possibility that
we may need to use that as our
main entrance if the (lot) is not
completely nished by Sept. 3.
The likelihood of that is prob-
able, Polek said.
Different aspects of the proj-
ect are in various stages of completion.
She said the new brick is about three-
quarters installed. The roof installation
is about halfway nished. Footings have
been poured for the new entrance.
The wireless Internet service upgrade,
however, is ready.
Were starting a one-to-one device
program with just a few grades this year,
Polek said. Were starting a one-to-one
iPad program for grades 2, 4 and 5.
As for the main ofce, Polek said she
wasnt sure.
The likely last stage of the project?
The parking lot, she said. Thats the
thing we doubt will be ready highly
doubt will be ready by the start of
school.
School business
With the lot still under construction,
Reek has had to nd other ways to oper-
ate.
For example, registration wont take
place at school this year.
On Tuesday, Aug. 20, it will be at the
Linn Town Hall, W3728 Franklin Walsh
St., Zenda, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
And although parents have frequently
roamed the Reek halls during the summer,
Polek said theyre still happy to show fami-
lies the work thats going on, but just call
rst before showing up.
Will classrooms be ready for children?
Yes, said Polek.
But what about her ofce?
Just getting into the ofce is the only
thing now, she said. We believe we will be
in the ofce (by Sept. 3), but if by chance
we have to stay in the library, it wouldnt
be the worst thing.

Bloomeld ofcials talking chemicals, association for 2014
Seeking a solution for lake weed problem
By Steve Targo
BLOOMFIELD Pell Lakes looking
more like a swamp this summer.
But on Monday, Aug.
19, expect to see Clear
Water Harvesters, Crys-
tal Lake, Ill., removing
weeds from the lake.
Well, part of the
lake.
When I lled out
the permit for the DNR,
I could only ll it out for
a small amount, like 8
acres, said Ken Monroe,
village of Bloomeld
president.
Why has it taken so long for a weed har-
vesting company to come out to the lake?
Monroe said for the past two months,
he has been working with the DNR and
other companies.
Although he started speaking with
companies last spring, it turns out the vil-
lages lake management plan needs to be
updated.
And before anyone can just drop a har-
vester in the lake and start cutting weeds, a
survey of aquatic plants needed to be done,
to make sure that youre not cutting native
weeds, Monroe said.
But he said hes already thinking about
next year, and there are two ideas on the
table using chemicals to manage weeds
and a lake association to take care of Pell
Lake.
Soon, the village will send a survey
out to sanitary district residents, he said.
It will ask if they would be OK with seeing
an extra $2 charge per quarter $8 a year
on the sewer and water bill.
That would be for weed control,
Monroe said. It would also help start a
lake association.
In other words, the village is consid-
ering levying a special assessment to use
chemicals to control the weeds and to
create and maintain the association. The
reason it would be through the sanitary
district is because it covers the Pell Lake
area.
It would be the people in the Pell Lake
area who would benet from it, Monroe
said. He said there are about 1,500 people
in the district.
Have any of them been complaining
about the overgrowth of lake weeds?
Ive received complaints, Monroe
said. Not a lot, but yes, Im getting com-
plaints.
Dj vu?
There are several similarities between
Monroes comments Monday and ones he
made last summer.
People complained about weeds,
Monroe discussed the creation of some
sort of lake management entity and he
also brought up using chemicals before.
But there are some differences. For
one, the Badger State Outboard Associa-
tions Power Boat Days wasnt impeded by
the weed overgrowth this year.
Last year, however, volunteers scram-
bled to remove enough of what some called
the Pell Lake salad to hold the event.
It was delayed, but the boats still raced
despite a group being cited for violating
the weed removal permit granted by the
DNR.
Another difference: Last years
weather. In May 2012, thickets of weeds
crested the waters surface, much as they
did in July this year.
But last year, Monroe talked about
creating a lake management district,
which could levy taxes to cover operating
costs.
On Monday, he said theyre looking
into establishing a lake association.
Whether its an association or a dis-
trict, its something to take over the efforts
of the Pell Lake Mud Hens, a nonprot
group which began voluntarily remov-
ing lake weeds in the 1990s. In 2010, the
group went on hiatus.
Monroe said an association could take
care of the lake, including handling the
removal of lake weeds.
He said hes in favor of using chemi-
cals to control the weeds, too.
I think it would be cheaper and we can
probably control (weeds) better, Monroe
said. Powers Lakes district, Benedict
and Tombeau (lakes) all use chemicals. I
know Lake Benedict is pretty clean.
But before an association or use of
chemicals in Pell Lake can happen, he
said the village needs to update Pell Lakes
management plan.
The plan was created in 2004 and is,
by DNR standards, outdated, Monroe
said, adding that they are supposed to be
updated every ve years.
Despite the outdated plan thats in
place, the DNR allowed Bloomeld to
remove a portion of lake weeds this year.
But Monroe said next year, it needs to
be updated.
Im going to call (the Southeastern
Wisconsin Regional Planning Commis-
sion, or SEWRPC), he said. Wed like to
have a plan no later than February 2014.
Why SEWRPC?
SEWRPC did the last plan (and)
theyre cheaper, he said.

Town board appoints
Roy White supervisor
By Steve Targo
LINN Roy White has taken the
place of Jeanne Allis on the town board.
At a special meeting July 30, town
ofcials appointed White on a 4-1 vote to
the supervisor position formerly held by
Allis.
In an Aug. 6 phone interview, White
said he was somewhat surprised that the
board selected him.
There were ve people who
had applied for it, so it wasnt
really cut and dried, he said
about how he saw his chances.
White led a letter of inter-
est with the town after Allis
resigned. She had moved to Fon-
tana and was in the middle of her
third term as supervisor.
Others who sought to be the
next supervisor were Allan Poly-
ock, Tom Jacobs, Bonnie Cornue
and John Larkin.
Voting in favor of White were
Town Chairman Jim Weiss,
Supervisors Chris Jones and
Alex Palmer and Clerk-Treasurer
Sue Polyock. State statutes allow
a clerk-treasurer to vote in town
board appointments.
On the phone Aug. 6, DeYoung
said when he cast his no vote, he
thought Allan Polyock would be
the best candidate.
It wasnt a vote against Roy,
he said. It was a vote for Al, who had more
experience.
Allan Polyock was a town chairman
and Walworth County supervisor. White
has not held an elected position.
In fact, last spring, DeYoung beat
White in the town supervisor race.
But DeYoung said that had nothing
to do with why he voted against him July
30.
I think they were all viable candi-
dates, DeYoung said. Any one of them
could do the job. Im not discrediting any
of them.
He also said he believes White will do
a wonderful job as supervisor.
White said he understands the dif-
culty faced by board members to select a
replacement for Allis.
Im sure it was a hard vote, he said.
There were ve reasonable people (who)
all had pluses.
Jacobs also spent several years as
town supervisor. In September 2010, he
was appointed to ll a supervisor spot that
was vacated by Weiss to ll the open chair-
mans spot after Dave Bollweg resigned.
Cornue, a longtime Reek School Board
member, also serves on the towns
public parks committee.
Larkin had no previous com-
mittee or town political experi-
ence.
Meet the new supervisor
White may not have ever won
an election, but hes no stranger
to government.
For more than seven years, he
has served on the towns protec-
tive services committee.
White said he expects to
remain on that committee. He
also said Weiss probably will
appoint him to at least one other
committee, soon. A phone call to
Weiss wasnt returned by press
time.
In his March candidate ques-
tionnaire response to the Regional
News, White stated he has lived
in The Birches for 24 years. He
worked for 34 years in Morton,
Woodstock, Ill., and retired.
On Aug. 6, he said he has often attended
town board meetings.
Ive never really been involved with
politics, White said. I think its going to
be fun. Im looking forward to it.
Whats he looking forward to the
most?
Learning the job, he said, adding that
the budget process could be the biggest
challenge. Although White said hes famil-
iar with how the emergency services bud-
gets work, hes never worked on the towns
general budget.
Im sure there will be some other sur-
prises that Im not aware of, some deci-
sions that will have to be made, White
said.
CORN ON THE COB was a staple at the Town of Linn Fire and EMS Pig Roast Sunday,

The new building that will house Immanuel Lutheran
Church, currently at 1229 Park Row, is being completed at
the corner of the Highway 120 bypass and North Bloomeld
Road. The completion date, once set for December, will be
in November, if all goes well.
The congregation of about 1,100 members prayed
and planned for several years to get to this point. Funds
were raised through the sacricial giving of members and
friends, rst raising $675,000 in a capital appeal to pur-
chase the land.
That was accomplished in two years, making it possible
to begin a new campaign for construction of the building. A
three-year appeal raised $1.1 million in contributions and
pledges, with the balance obtained through a loan from
the Mission Involvement Fund of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church of America.
The new sanctuary will seat 400 for worship, while
other needs will be met with administration ofces and
classrooms in the southern wing and a fellowship hall,
kitchen facilities and youth areas in the western wing.
Mechanicals, storage and space on the lower level will be
completed as needed.
The church has formed a partnership with Anchor Cov-
enant Church.
Anchor Covenant has been sharing the building at 1229
Park Row for some time, holding its worship services on
Sunday nights. Anchors purchase of the old building will
continue the presence of a church in the neighborhood, an
added benet from the partnership.
The worship service schedule at Immanuel will remain
the same once the move is made. The Rev. Mark Moller-
Gunderson, one of Immanuels pastors, said church mem-
bers are excited about the move and are happy to serve the
community in a new location.
A NEW HOME for Immanuel Lutheran Church is being constructed at the corner of the Highway 120 bypass and N.
Bloomeld Road, Lake Geneva.
Church should be open in fall
I think youre asking too much, Connors said.
There were some lighter moments during the debate.
Id really like a raise, said Alderwoman Ellyn Kehoe.
I really would like a seat thats up higher so I can see
whats going on.
Thats a different kind of raise, however, replied Con-
nors. Kehoe went on to say that the raise will mean a few
extra bucks for council members, but it should also be a
reminder to council members to do their jobs and come
prepared, she said.
At the Aug. 5 committee of the whole meeting, City
Clerk Mike Hawes presented a study of compensation
for elected ofcials in municipalities with populations
between 5,000 and 15,000.
He found that the median pay for mayors and village
presidents was $7,200 and $3,600 for council members
and trustees.
Pay/Connors thinks
raise is too much

Three young men travel cross-country with video cameras, willingness to volunteer
Starsh Project returns to Lake Geneva
By Robert Ireland
It wasnt a typical college-aged cross-country road
trip.
A group of young men recently travelled throughout
the United States where they visited charities and volun-
teered their time.
In Los Angeles Skid Row, Wiley Koehler, Spencer
Hartz and Kai Hovden worked in a food kitchen for the
Midnight Mission an organization that focuses on help-
ing homeless people in one of the worse parts of town.
The three spoke to people who recently found them-
selves without homes and listened to their stories.
As part of their trip they also went to the Equality
House, a rainbow-colored home located across the street
from the Westboro Baptisit Church.
The Westboro Baptist Church is notorious for its anti-
gay rhetoric and protesting the funerals of soldiers who
were killed overseas.
The Equality House works to stop bullying in schools
and raises awareness about discrimination against gays.
The boys who lmed their experience for a documen-
tary, which they will broadcast on YouTube as webisodes,
wanted to talk to members of the controversial church to
get both sides of the story.
The Westboro Baptist Church vetted the Starsh Proj-
ect before giving them the green light to interview some of
their parishioners.
They were really nice about it, Hovden said. They
were nice about it with some of the most distorted views I
have ever heard.
On another stop, the three men watched a man who
suffered from brain trauma and another man who was
seriously injured in the Columbine shooting reach the top
of a rock climbing wall at the Breckenridge Outdoor Edu-
cation Center an organization that takes people who are
disabled rock climbing and zip lining.
The trio also had a few scary moments on their jour-
ney. Koehler of Cedarburg was bringing a meal to people
in the cafeteria of the Midnight Mission when a ght broke
out nearby.
Koehler was holding a tray lled with food and froze
until security could stop the altercation. At the same loca-
tion, a security guard warned Hovden of Lake Geneva to
act normal as the guard conscated a knife from another
man.
About the trip
During the trip the group made stops in Milwaukee,
Pine Ridge, SD; Breckenridge Colo; LA; New Orleans; Ala-
bama and Topeka, Kan.
We felt welcomed by each place, and we wanted to stay
there, Hovden said.
It was the time of our lives, for real, Spencer of Lake
Geneva said.
The mission of the Starsh Project was to volunteer
time at the charities and raise awareness for each organi-
zations that they visited.
The biggest thing was to get a handful of people to
know about each of these organizations, Hovden said.
The goal of the Starsh Project was to get more people
involved with them.
On Aug. 6, the three men discussed their mission/
adventure at Simple Restaurant in Lake Geneva, which is
owned by Spencers father, Tom Hartz.
In front of family and friends, the three showed a high-
light movie to the crowd, discussed their trip and answered
questions.
Hovden said one of the more memorable stops was at
the Equality House in Topeka, Kan. The group also was
able to visit the controversial church across the street for a
Sunday service.
Spencer said as they entered they were given dirty looks
from people passing by Westboro Baptist Church. Inside
the church, they received dirty looks from parishioners.
Surprisingly, the group learned that members of the
Westboro Baptist Church and the Equality House are on
speaking terms and some even exchange text messages.
Hovden said in LAs Skid Row they interviewed people
who recently became homeless.
Hovden said he was shocked by some of the ways people
became homeless.
(Some) cant pay medical bills and they end up losing
their house, he said.
Hovden said in Pine Ridge, S.D. which has the high-
est poverty rate in the country extended families lived
in a small trailer.
It is like a third-world country, and it is in our coun-
try, Spencer said. It is the second most impoverished
place in the Western Hemisphere.

When there is an ofcer-involved shooting fatality,
Necci can order an inquest to determine how the individual
died. During an inquest, a jury can decide whether charges
should be brought against the law enforcement ofcers
involved in the death.
Deputy Neumanns, Deputy Shaws, Deputy Framis
and Deputy Blanchards actions were privileged as acts of
defense of themselves or others, Necci wrote in his opin-
ion.
About the shooting
At about 2 a.m. Kruberts mother, Kathleen, saw her
son standing outside on her porch, and she heard scream-
ing. Kathleen asked Michael Boyd to arm himself with a
rearm because she feared for her safety because of her
sons past issues with mental illness.
Kathleen Krubert attempted to call 911, but she didnt
have cell phone service. Jeremiah Krubert broke into the
residence and attacked Boyd with a pipe, causing him
serious injuries. Kathleen Krubert escaped the home and
called 911.
Neumann was the rst on the scene, and after his con-
frontation with Jeremiah Krubert, in which Jeremiah Kru-
bert stole his squad car, he put out the re in the kitchen,
which was presumably started by Jeremiah Krubert.
Shaw, Frami and Blanchard were involved in the chase
with Jeremiah Krubert, which ended when Jeremiah Kru-
bert crashed into farm equipment in a eld.
An autopsy showed Jeremiah Krubert had multiple
lacerations to his scalp, thought to be caused by the end of
a metal pipe or a similar object, a graze wound to the shoul-
der possibly caused by a bullet and severe internal injuries
to the heart, lungs, liver, spine and esophagus, apparently
caused by the single .223 caliber round found near his
spine, according to Neccis letter.
The autopsy revealed that cocaine was present in Jer-
emiah Kruberts system.
Previous shootings
The last ofcer-involved shooting occurred on Jan.
21, when Deputy Robert Lagle was guarding 18-year-old
Alfredo Villarreal as he was receiving treatment at Aurora
Lakeland Medical Center, Elkhorn. When Lagle unshack-
led Villarreal to use the rest room, Villarreal attacked the
deputy. Fearing Villarreal would continue to attack him,
disarm him and exit the hospital, Lagle shot and killed Vil-
larreal.
Necci determined Lagle acted in self-defense.
Blanchard has been involved in two previous ofcer-
involved shootings. On May 5, 2012, in a trailer in a home in
the town of Lyons, Blanchard shot and killed John Brown,
22. Brown allegedly charged at Blanchard while armed
with a knife. Then-District Attorney Philip Koss ruled the
shooting legal. Browns mother, Nancy, has publicly called
the shooting murder. She has led a federal lawsuit
against the county and Blanchard for her sons death.
On Jan. 29, 2010, Blanchard shot Mark Beaver of La
Grange. Beaver red multiple shots toward another deputy.
Beaver survived the shooting and was sentenced to 10 years
in prison.
Blanchard is a more than 10 year-veteran of the Sher-
iffs Department, and in 2012 he earned a Distinguished
Service Award for his involvement with the rearms train-
ing team.

WILLIAMS BAY As an educator,
William White has experienced all kinds of
weather.
Ive missed school for fog, Ive missed
school for snow. Ive missed school for trop-
ical storms, said White, who is now the
principal at the Williams Bay Junior/Senior
High School, 500 W. Geneva St.
Indeed, the northern Kentucky native
has taught at and administered schools
in California, Florida, Massachusetts and
Wisconsin.
White, who lives in Mukwonago, was
most recently the principal in the Brighton
K-8 district in western Kenosha County.
The 200-student district, in the town of
Brighton, feeds into the Westosha High
School District, White said in an interview
earlier this month.
White ofcially started his duties in
Williams Bay on Aug. 1, but he really started
his work before then.
He said he sat down with former prin-
cipal Barry Butters on July 30 and they
talked for two hours about the school, the
staff and the student body.
He is a wealth of information, White
said of Butters. Ill certainly work with
Barry. In school districts like this, everyone
is willing to help.
As if on cue, during the interview,
Dianna Woss, school board president,
stopped by Whites ofce, rst to extend a
welcome, and then to see if she could help
White in any way.
White said that his current plans are to
meet with staff and learn their goals.
And while Aug. 1 was ofcially Whites
rst day of work in Williams Bay, he said
he was still in the process of closing things
down at Brighton.
. I was there for three years, said
White. Just packing up and leaving was out
of the question, he said.
The Brighton district is committed to
educational excellence, and about half of
the students there are through open enroll-
ment.
The schools commitment to educational
excellence and its size appeal to families, he
said.
Parents value that small community
feel, White said.
White grew up in small-town America.
He grew up in Brooksville, Ky. He
attended Bracken County High School.
There are no large cities in that part of
Kentucky, White said. The big city in that
part of the country isnt even in Kentucky.
Cincinnati is the closest major metro-
politan area to where he was growing up,
so he identied more with Cincinnati than
other Kentucky cities, he said.
White is a graduate of the University of
Kentucky with a Bachelor of Science degree
in secondary education.
His desire for a masters degree took
him from the heartland to Fresno Pacic
College, where he earned a masters in cur-
riculum and instruction.
His rst teaching job was as a seventh-
grade teacher in Parlier, Calif., in the heart
of migrant farm country. White said he
taught all subjects.
White said he met a woman there from
Milwaukee and they married. But before
coming to the Badger state, they moved
from California to Miami to follow her post-
graduate work.
He said he taught for several years in
the Miami-Dade County Public School dis-
trict and then they moved to Boston, where
he taught as well.
They nally moved to Wisconsin about
17 years ago, where he was assistant princi-
pal at Sheboygan Urban Middle School for
two years, and then assistant principal at
Wisconsin Hills Middle School in the Elm-
brook School District. Meanwhile, he was
working toward his doctorate at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Who will become
Fairest of the Fair?
By Jade Bolack
JBolack@lakegenevanews.net
ELKHORN The Walworth County
Fair is the largest county fair in the state,
and the job of Fairest is no easy task.
The woman crowned Fairest of the Fair
serves in a publicity role for all-things fair-
related, including attending events across
the county and the state.
This summer, seven county residents
seek the title, ve from the Geneva Lake
area. In 2012, Abigail Jensen, Delavan, was
crowned Fairest.
J
illian Cline has trouble deciding
her favorite part of the Walworth
County Fair.
The fair offers so much to the commu-
nity, Cline, Lake Geneva, said. It would
be an amazing opportunity to be crowned
Fairest and be able to give back to the
fair.
Cline is a sophomore at Ripon College,
studying accounting and business manage-
ment. Even after she graduates, she wants
to be around horses and the agricultural
community.
Id like to be an accountant and a certi-
ed horse judge, she said. Id like to vol-
unteer with the Horse and Pony Project
and keep giving back.
Cline was the driving force behind cre-
ating Badger High Schools horse riding
club. She has three horses of her own and
does multiple types of showings.
I ride English pleasure, trail riding
and cart driving, she said. My favorite
competition is the barrel racing. Theres
just so much adrenaline and excitement
during that event.
Though horses are her passion, Cline
showed goats at last years county fair.
Horses are what I do best, she said.

Google creates confusion
between two Fontanas
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA The famous search
engine Google is helping the Fontana Police
Department connect with residents.
Barb Dorsey, police administrative
assistant, said she gets six to 10 calls every
day from residents of Fontana, Calif.
The problem is Googles search results
for Fontana Police Department.
When you search for Fontana Police
Department, theres this posting, Chief
Steve Olson said. It says Fontana Califor-
nia Police Department, but it shows a map
of our village, a photo from our website and
it shows our number.
Olson said the different area code doesnt
faze callers. See page 2B for a screen shot.
We have the California number posted
up by our phones so we can tell them who
to actually call, Dorsey said. Thankfully,
we havent had someone call in an actual
emergency. The area code for the Fontana,
Calif., area is 909. Fontana, Wis., is 262.
We get these calls all the time, some of
them asking which jail someone who was
arrested yesterday is in, he said. What?
Which jail? Then we ask them who theyre
trying to call.
Theyve tried to have the search posting
changed, but Google isnt responding.
We have called Google, Olson said.
They said theyre working on it. They said it
could take weeks for it to change. We never
asked to have that posting. We have nothing
to do with it. We just want the number to be
for the correct department.
Olson said hes spoken with the Califor-
nia department, and they laugh about it.
They just got a helicopter at their
department, he said. I was joking and said,
wouldnt that be nice to have. They actu-
ally sent me the whole proposal and what
they did to get the helicopter. I dont think
they realize how small we are compared to
them.
The California city has a population of
199,028. The Wisconsin village has 1,678.
We dont need a helicopter, Olson said.
We just need to stop getting calls from Cal-
ifornia.

Rambatt led schools Fuel Food for Families
Big Foot graduate earns Kohls scholarship
By Jade Bolack
WALWORTH Brittany Rambatt,
a 2013 graduate of Big Foot High School,
wants to go places.
This week, shes off to Mexico to build
homes and volunteer in an orphanage and
an AIDS clinic.
I really want to go to Africa someday,
Rambatt said. Im going to study agricul-
tural education. Id like to be a teacher, in
underdeveloped countries.
Rambatt was recently honored with the
Kohls Cares Scholarship. She was one of
35,000 selected from the rst level of win-
ners.
The criteria for the scholarship was to
impact the community in someway, Ram-
batt said. The main reason for my nomi-
nation was because of the Fuel Foods for
Families program at Big Foot.
Rambatt and her classmates developed
a program to raise crops and meat animals
to donate to local food pantries.
The students are taking over the proj-
ect now, she said. Its integrated into
the classrooms. Agricultural students are
taking on different parts of the project.
Big Foots FFA program is also respon-
sible for caring for the plants and animals
when school isnt in session.
Shes received other scholarships as
well, including the Thomas E. Reynolds
Environmental Scholarship, a Rotary Club
scholarship and a Fontana Garden Club
Scholarship.
Even more noteworthy is her dedication
to others, in her community and around
the world.
I was in Honduras
in September 2012,
Rambatt said. We were
there to help with build-
ing projects for families.
Ill be going back again
this September.
Rambatts grasp of
Spanish helps her when
she travels to Central
and South America.
My family has been
really supportive of
what I do, she said. I would like to con-
tinue going to other countries. I hope I can
study abroad while Im in college.
Rambatt will study at the University of
Wisconsin-River Falls, one of the two UW
System schools with agricultural education
programs.
I really like the campus there, Ram-
batt said. I like the department. I was on
the campus last year for a conference, and
I just like being there. Before deciding to
become a teacher, she wanted to be a vet-
erinarian.
I just became more aware of agricul-
tural education, Rambatt said. I became
more aware of the international aspect of
it, how I can help more people. I can help
people and still stay within the agricultural
eld.
Though shes leaving for college this fall,
shell still return to Big Foot frequently.
Ill be president of the 4-H Club until
October, Rambatt said. And Ill be in
the FFA for three years. Ill try to stay as
involved as I can in the program.
This year she isnt showing any animals
at the Walworth County Fair, but shell be
at the fair.
I didnt have the time this summer,
Rambatt said. Theres so much going on,
but Ill still be at the fair. I was at the State
Fair, and Ill be at the county fair. Thats
something I dont want to miss.

School hires rm
for energy efciency
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA The Fontana Elemen-
tary School Board agreed to pay for an
$8,500 engineering study this fall.
The study, contracted by McKinstry
Co., will examine the entire school to pro-
duce a list of ways to make it more energy
efcient.
McKinstry Co. has ofces around the
United States, including in Milwaukee
and Madison, and has worked on simi-
lar energy efciency projects at public
schools in Madison and Oshkosh.
After the study is completed and
a project list compiled, the board will
decide which projects it wants to pursue.
School Board Vice President Joe
McHugh said the company will begin the
study soon.
As soon as we approve it, theyll be
on the ground doing it, McHugh said.
When we get the report back, thats when
we sign the contract, if we want, and pick
and choose how many projects that we
want done.
Money for the projects will be secured
through low-interest loans created for
public school energy-savings projects.
If we decide to go forward (with any
of the proposed projects in the engineer-
ing study), that $8,500 is absorbed as
part of the total proj-
ect, McHugh said.
Well decide on those
projects sometime in
October.
McHugh said McK-
instry had the most
experience of the per-
formance contractors
the board contacted.
We had to look at
three elements, experi-
ence, quality and cost, he said. McKin-
stry has the experience hands down.
Included with the engineering study,
McKinstry must submit to the school
guaranteed cost-savings for each project.
For example, if the schools boiler is
replaced, the company will say how much
energy the school will save with a new
boiler. If the schools energy costs arent
reduced by that amount, McKinstry will
pay the difference.
McHugh said the board has been wor-
ried about the boiler for a few years, and
they need to tackle large projects while
the board has nancing options.
My only caution here is that I want
the roof done. I want the boiler xed, he
said. When we look at the project list,
we dont want to pick the small projects
because theyre easy. We want to get the
big projects done.

TWO TONS of SALT *EVERYDAY*
Does that sound like a lot of salt to you? It does to us! It also
sounds like a lot of money going down the drain. That's how
much salt the Fontana/Walworth Wastewater Treatment Plant
receives every day of the year for the last two years, on average,
and we need your help.
That much chloride (salt) goes into the environment every day
from household drains, industrial discharges and commercial
enterprises because we have no way to remove it at the treatment
plant. The Department of Natural Resources has set limits on how
much chlorides can be released to our streams, rivers, lakes and
ground waters to protect our health and environment. It sounds
like the easy solution would be to just remove the chlorides from
the treated wastewater before it is released to the receiving waters
but that gets expensive. Desalinating that much water requires
that our facility spend enormous amounts of money on plant
upgrades to remove, collect, store and dispose of all that salt.
We, at the wastewater treatment plant are asking you to help us
reduce this problem by reviewing your water softeners settings
and operating condition. Some water softeners are preset at the
factory for the highest hardness setting which may be costing you
more than you need to treat your water. Please be sure your sof-
tener is calibrated for the proper hardness in your area. Softening
your household water except for the cold water to the kitchen,
bathroom sinks and outside faucets will help and most people
generally prefer the taste of hard over softened water. Also check
your softeners timer (if equipped) to ensure it is properly adjust-
ed. Children move out or other factors arise that effect water
usage and your system may allow for an adjustment that may save
you money. If you have a vacation home in the area you might try
turning the softener off for the months you are away (helpful for
older timer initiated units). Talk to your local softener company
representatives for assistance with your system or ideas to
improve your softeners performance. An efficiently operating
softener uses less salt and less water, plain and simple.
Our goal is to reduce the chlorides entering our environment
and your help is the key to our goal!

Churches ll backpacks for needy kids
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA As parishioners left
Mass at St. Benedict Catholic Church over
the past few Sundays, they were greeted
with tables full of empty backpacks.
Mary Jeanne Lindinger-Olsen, human
concerns minister at St. Benedict, helps
organize the school supply donation drive
with the Inter-Church Backpack Commit-
tee.
The committee includes representa-
tives from area churches, including Fon-
tana Community Church, Immanuel
United Church of Christ in Walworth,
Triune Lutheran Church in Sharon and
Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in
Sharon.
The committee works with area schools,
generating a list of eligible students in need
of school supplies for the coming year.
Lindinger-Olsen said the number of
students in need has
grown by at least 10
percent in the last
three years.
We were at 200
to 250 in the mid-
2000s, she said.
Now, this year we have 368 backpacks to
ll. Last year, we had 330 bags. It was our
rst year over 300.
The list is generated from students in
the free lunch program at schools in the
Big Foot Area Schools Association.
The committee buys a backpack for
each student on the list. Parishioners at St.
Benedict and other involved churches can
pick up a bag and buy the supplies needed
for the bag.
Its become quite a commitment, with
the cost of school supplies and the amount
needed, even for the younger grades,
Lindinger-Olsen said. Weve had some
cash donations, and some families bring in
just bulk school sup-
plies for us to nish
lling the bags that
come back. We said
to our parishioners
this year to take a
bag and donate sup-
plies if your means permit.
Lindinger-Olsen said it can cost up to
$80 to ll a backpack with all the required
supplies.
The list of in-need students continues
to grow, she said.
Of the 368 bags needing supplies this
year, 90 were taken by other churches in
the area. A group of volunteers has been
running the backpack donation drive at
St. Benedict for about 15 years, Lindinger-
Olsen said, and it grew so quickly that she
wanted to get other churches involved.
I dont even remember how it hap-
pened. Two of the Sharon churches were
interested in helping, she said. Between
the two churches, they took 55 backpacks
(last year). We had not recruited them at
all. That plus the other (backpacks) was
70 backpacks taken by other churches last
year. I just thought, why dont we try invit-
ing other churches and see if theyd like to
sit on a committee.
Lindinger-Olsen said a committee
would formalize the process and bring
in new ideas for the backpack donation
drive.
It would give us more folks to help us
prepare the bags, she said. Its a lot of
work. Wed have more people to help trans-
port bags. Several of the churches were
interested. They joined us formally on a
committee. We met and worked through
some great ideas others brought to us about
how we would run the backpack project.
This year, there were 18 backpacks left
at the Aug. 11 Mass at St. Benedict.
Afterward, all the bags were taken,
Lindinger-Olsen said. It was great.
This year we have 368 backpacks
to ll. Last year, we had 330 bags.
It was our rst year over 300, said
Mary Jeanne Lindinger-Olsen, who
is the human concerns minister.

But I was given that opportunity to show the goats,
and I did it. I had a dairy goat. It was judged on its milk
producing capabilities.
Her diversity in horse showing helps her nd her way
around the fair.
Being Fairest would help me further that community
networking, she said. Were so privileged to have such a
great fair in our community. I spent 10 years in 4-H, and
its so great that we have such an opportunity to show our
exhibits. The junior exhibitors at the fair are incredible.
You just look at what theyre creating and you see that these
are future professionals in the eld.
R
iding horses is in Shelby Petelers blood.
Her mother, her grandparents, her great-grand-
parents all rode horses.
My mom showed horses her whole life, Peteler, Lake
Geneva, said. I started riding as a little kid. When you
start young, you kind of grow into it. Its like dancing.
Her mom was a state champion horse shower, and now
Peteler is following those footsteps.
I was reserve champion at the state 4-H expo a few
years ago, Peteler said. Ive been in the top 10 for a lot of
competitions. Because of the age of her horses, all three of
them are around 20 years old, she competes in showman-
ship competitions.
My horses dont do a lot of the jumping or trail riding
shows, Peteler said.
My horses are judged on how well they look, on their
posture and on my posture while I ride.
Because of all the competitions she enters, shes been at
the county fair a lot.
I just love it, she said. I just love being there and
seeing at the exhibitions. Ive always wanted to be Fairest,
too. I had a role model when I was younger, she was about
six years older than me, and she was Fairest. Since then,
Ive just wanted to do that same thing.
Right now, shes adjusting to transferring to DePaul Uni-
versity in Chicago and trying to decide on what to study.
At (the University of Wisconsin)-Whitewater, I was
studying music, but now Im kind of undecided , Peteler
said. I think I might want to go into biology. Whitewater
was just too small and too close to home. I wanted a bigger
change than that. Im really excited to be in Chicago. Thats
where everything is happening right now.
She has no fears about the public relations role of being
crowned Fairest, either.
Im so used to talking to strangers because of my host-
ing job (at Popeyes in Lake Geneva), she said. Its easy to
just go up to someone now, even if they look grumpy, and
start talking.

E
milie Cerny of Sharon wasnt crowned last year, but
she was chosen as fair royalty. The royalty position
is similar to the Fairest. Cerny was often asked to repre-
sent the fair along with Jensen and produce publicity for
the fair.
Cerny said this past year gave her taste of what being
Fairest would be like.
I keep wanting to do more for the community, she
said.
Cerny will repeat the selection process again this year,
with less nervousness than 2012.
I have been to the interviews before, and going in the
rst time, its scary, she said. But I like the interview pro-
cess. I think its necessary for the program. You get to know
who youre running against.
Last year, Cerny already knew several of the other com-
petitors. Not so this year.
I dont know a lot of the girls that are running, she
said. Most of them are over in the horse part of the fair.
I dont usually venture over there. There will probably be
some lasting friendships made this year.
As part of the competition, Cerny has already written
a radio commercial promoting the fair, spent a night with
the current Fairest of the Fair and started preparing for
interviews this month. During the fair, she and the other
competitors will answer questions on stage.
Right now, Cerny is working for Reproduction Provi-
sions, an agricultural supply store, in Walworth.
I do product-testing, I work with customers and I help
with some of the research thats going on, she said. Right
now were doing a feeding trial.
Her long-term plan is to continue her work in agricul-
ture.
I want to go back to school, she said. I want to study
microbiology and research. Ive always done research. I
want to stay where I know Im good at what I do. I was just
recently announced as an American Star Finalist in FFA
for my research.
B
randy Sheppard said she isnt nervous to compete
against the other Fairest contestants.
Im actually well-prepared, and I keep preparing, she
said. I have nothing to worry about. I feel that were all
good people. Everyone needs to be the best she can be. All
the girls are nice, but Im not saying I cant beat them.
Her lack of nerves is surprising because this is her rst
competition.
The Fairest is the rst competition Ive done for a
public relations position, Sheppard said. Im working on
me, on being the best person I can be.
A Genoa City native, Sheppard is studying agri-busi-
ness engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Plateville.
Once I get my degree, I want to apply for upper man-
agement at John Deere, Sheppard said. I was part of the
ag-mechanization in FFA. Thats how I choose my major.
When I rst started in FFA, I realized it was something I
really liked.
Sheppard said she built and studied different types of
engines while in FFA.
After joining FFA at Badger High School, she started
raising chickens.
I got chickens, and it enhanced my love for agricul-
ture, Sheppard said. The chickens are at a farm about
ve minutes from where I live.
Besides the chickens, Sheppard is crew chief for her
grandfathers modied dirt racing team.
The modied is the type of car used, she said. Its
done on a dirt track. Its a lot of fun. I love it.
Sheppard preps the car in the garage before the race
and checks the car during pit stops in the race.
Im waiting to pursue racing on my own, she said. My
grandpa is my main focus right now.
K
ayla Decker, Sharon, could not be reached for com-
ment on her run for Fairest of the Fair.
These ve women will also compete against Emily
Watson, Elkhorn, and Megan Rasmussen, Delavan.
Commission claries rules for parks
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA Its more of a common sense approach,
Trustee Cindy Wilson said. These changes just more
clearly dene our regulation. It certainly does not create
more rules.
Wilson and the village parks commission, which
Wilson chairs, will submit a revised ordinance to the vil-
lage board redening park usage in September.
It all started with (Police) Chief (Steve) Olson coming
to us, she said. He told us the only thing in the (village)
ordinance about the parks is that the language was singu-
lar, for one park, not the multiple parks like we have now.
We intend to make the change that the ordinance says
parks are dened in the park and open space plan and also
the master plan.
The unrevised ordinance says no one is allowed in the
park from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m. Wilson said that rule wasnt
realistic.
We have no way
of enforcing that,
she said. Especially
with Reid Park, it
just isnt possible.
The only park that
we limited hours on
is the Duck Pond
Recreation Area. It
already has hours
posted.
A sign is posted
at Duck Pond saying
it closes at dusk.
Wilson said that was too ambiguous.
We changed it to be closed from 10 p.m. until 7 a.m.,
she said. What were doing is not so much changing
(the ordinance) as dening how we want our parks to be
used.
No dogs allowed? Not the case in Fontana parks.
Dogs can be on leashes under the control of the
owner and walk through any park that we have, Wilson
said. There should be no confusion about that. Dogs are
allowed in the lake. If theyre there early in the morning
and no one else is there, dogs can go in the water (from
the south beach), of course.
The only park thats kept dog-free is the north beach
during the summer.
On that beach, dogs are allowed from October to
April or May, Wilson said. And on the south side of the
channel, of course dogs can go through. Thats the only
way to get off the Lake Shore Path.
Wilson said the changes to the ordinance ease police
interaction with park users.
Prior to these changes, a person who doesnt like
dogs (could) see someone walking a dog through the fen
and insist that the police ticket that person, Wilson said.
Thats how it would be read in the village ordinance.
That was not the intention of the ordinance. Were just
making it clear.
Wilson Olson
Fair/Contestants hope to become face of the Walworth County Fair
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
He earned a doctoral degree there in Educational Lead-
ership in 2003.
He then became principal at Whittier Elementary
School in Waukesha before moving on to Brighton.
White said he applied for the superintendents position
at Williams Bay. However, he said he believes the school
boards selection of Wayne Anderson for that position was
the right move. He said the board then approached him
about taking the junior-senior high school principals posi-
tion, and he agreed.
He said he fell in love with the school district from the
time two students gave him a tour of the building.
They seemed to love their teachers and their school,
he said of the students.
He said what the school board shared with him about
the school district impressed him also.
It felt like a school district that I could be excited to be
a part of, White said.
His immediate tasks, he said, are to meet with the staff
and to nd out where the school is at in relation to state and
federal educational initiatives.
White said hes also eager to get involved in the discus-
sion over whether the district should build a new elemen-
tary school next to the junior-senior high school building.
Such a project would impact the junior-senior high
school, he said.
White said hes also impressed with Williams Bay.
Its a community that supports education, he said.

The Shoreland Zoning Ordinance are
state mandated added restrictions to lands
that are within a specific distance from wet-
lands or waterways. These restrictions are
most often setback distances to already
established use districts in the Village and
are intended to help protect the natural
resourced of the State from contamination
and over use. The Ordinance will operate
much like an overlay to the normal and
already existing zoning districts by applying
both the normal restriction to the districts
and the additional restrictions because they
fall within the Shoreland Zoning area.

PUBLIC NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS OF THE
VILLAGE OF BLOOMFIELD UTILITY DEPARTMENT
The Village of Bloomfield Utility Department collects an annual amount of $151,110 for
providing public fire protection (PFP) service to the Village of Bloomfield. This cost covers
the additional storage, pumping, and distribution needed to provide the high flows and pres-
sures used to fight fires. Currently, the Village of Bloomfield collects this municipal PFP
charge through property taxes. Effective September 30, 2013 the Village of Bloomfield will
no longer collect the municipal PFP charge. As such, the Village of Bloomfield Utility
Department has requested Public Service Commission authorization to collect all of the PFP
charge from each customer, or benefiting person, on the water utility bill (based on the
Equivalent Meters Method) in accordance with Wis. Stat. Sec. 196.03(3)(b), which reads as
follows:
196.03(3)(b). Unless the governing body of the city, village or town adopts a resolution
providing that the city, village or town will pay the retail charges for the production, storage,
transmission, sale and delivery or furnishing of water for public fire protection purposes that
are not included in general service charges:
1. A public utility shall include the charges in the water utility bill of each customer of the
public utility in the city, village or town.
2. A municipal utility may, in addition to including the charges in water utility bills under
subd. 1., bill the charges to any person who meets all of the following conditions:
a. The person is not a customer of the municipal utility
b. The person owns land that is located in the city, village or town and in an area in which
the municipal utility has an obligation to provide water for public fire protection.
This change in billing for PFP will allow for the collection of PFP charges from property
owners who are not subject to property taxes. The Village does not intend to charge non-gen-
eral service customers as defined in subd. 2. above.
The proposed quarterly PFP charges are as follows:
Meter Size Quarterly Charges
5/8 $ 23.10
3/4 23.10
1 57.60
l l/4 84.00
l l/2 114.00
2 183.00
3 345.00
4 576.00
6 1,155.00
8 1,845.00
10 2,769.00
12 3,693.00
The following is a projected quarterly billing comparison:
Customer Meter Volume Without PFP With PFP Percent
Type Size Gallons Charge Charge Increase
Residential 3/4 12,000 $ 51.60 $ 74.70 45%
Commercial 1-1/2 24,000 97.20 211.20 117%
Public Authority 2 120,000 357.00 540.00 51%
Note: These projected quarterly bills DO NOT include sewer charges.
Anyone wishing to petition the Commission regarding this matter should file, within 20
days of this notice, either in writing at the following address: Public Service Commission of
Wisconsin, Attention: Steve Kemna, P.O. Box 7854, Madison, WI 53707-7854, or via email
to: Stephen.Kemna@wisconsin.gov
If you have questions, concerning the decision to direct charge PFP, please contact the

Village of Bloomfield, Walworth County,
Wisconsin, does hereby ordain and create

lows:
(q) LAWN MAINTENANCE. All
lawns on improved properties consisting of
grass and/or weeds shall be kept cut to a
height not to exceed twelve (12) inches.
(i) Public policy. Overgrown lawns
are an intermittent and recurring problem
which shelter pests and vermin, aggravate
health problems for people who have cer-
tain allergies or health conditions, detract
from property values, and make neighbor-
hoods less attractive to residents and
prospective residents.
(ii) Municipal enforcement. Due to the
unique characteristics of this type of public
nuisance, in addition to any other enforce-
ment methods herein or otherwise allowed
by law, the Village may also enter property
and abate lawns that violate this ordinance
by mowing them, without first seeking a
court order, subject to the notice provision
herein. Work preformed shall be by Village
personal or contracted services at the dis-
cretion of the Village.
(iii) Notice. The Village shall first
notify the property owner and/or any person

posting a notice at or near the property
entrance, giving them ten (10) days to cor-
rect the condition, and stating that the
Village will do so thereafter if they do not.
(iv) Collection of abatement costs.
Cost of the abated will be $100.00 for
administrative costs per abatement plus
actual cost of abatement. Unless the prop-
erty owner and/or person or entity causing
the condition pays the cost of abatement
within twenty (20) days of notice of said
cost, the Village may collect the cost of
abatement as allowed by law, including as a
special charge under Sec. 66.0627, Stats.,
or under Ch. 10.06, herein.

Team wins YMCA
league title for
A family thing for softball
champs Stahulak Concrete
By Mike Ramczyk
sports@lakegenevanews.net
GENOA CITY Steve Stahulak took over the Stahu-
lak Concrete mens slow-pitch softball league seven years
ago when it joined the YMCA Lake Geneva Friday Night
league.
The 48-year-old Genoa City native brought a bunch of
talented players from Skips Lakeside, winners of national
and state tournaments for the past three decades.
While the guys arent traveling out of state anymore,
theyre still dominating the local league.
The ball club, which features Steve, son Travis, 18,
nephew Jeff, 26 and a host of veterans (Steve says the aver-
age age is 40), won its second league title in three years
Aug. 9 thanks to streaky hitting and solid defense.
Stahulak Concrete, which was originally run by Jack
Stahulak, Steves brother, won its rst playoff game at 7:30
p.m., 14-4, after trailing, 3-0. Then, the Genoa City boys
reeled off 14 rst-inning runs in a 15-1 rout in the champi-
onship seminal.
However, in the title game, Stahulak Concrete faced a
serious challenge from Vaughn Hammers. Concrete clung
to a 2-1 advantage into the sixth inning, but a ve-run sixth
proved to be the difference in a 7-1 triumph.
Dave Tobin, Steve Stahulak, Chris Cavallo, Zack Barn-
hardt and Jeff Stahulak smacked ve straight hits in the
decisive sixth inning. For Steve Stahulak, who is looking
for a successor at shortstop to carry on the winning tradi-
tion, you must have a deep team with guys who can get on
base and advance runners.
MIKE RAMCZYK/REGIONAL NEWS
A LOCAL SOFTBALL player slides under the tag of Stahulak Concretes pitcher Friday night to give his team a 3-0 lead in the YMCA
Friday Night mens softball league. Stahulak stormed back to win and captured the tournament title later that night.
No worries,
cable company
will play ball
Ive heard this story a hundred times.
Conicting egos with their priorities on the pocket
book instead of the customer huff and puff and cant reach
an agreement on a contract.
Im a rm believer of the adage the customer is always
right, and this case is no exception.
Currently, Time Warner
Cable, the largest cable tele-
vision provider in the state,
is at odds with WTMJ 4, and
people are irate.
No, not because they
cant watch the Olympics or
Sunday Night football. Or not
even because theyre missing
Saturday Night Live (even
though that would infuriate
me). Its because the thou-
sands upon thousands in the
Green Bay Packers Nation
are missing beloved pre-
season games. The Packers lost, 17-0, Friday night, and
the game was televised on Green Bays exclusive preseason
network, WTMJ.
However, numerous area resident who subscribe to
Time Warner Cable are without any access to their beloved
Packers. TMJ 4 is raising its rate some 200 percent, and
Time Warner isnt happy.
They threw it on the Spanish station, said Lake
Geneva resident Catrina Casper recently on an impromptu
Facebook poll. But I dont understand any of that, so I
have to mute it. Im looking into Direct TV, which I dont
like. But its football season, so its well worth it. Plus Im
missing some of my other shows. Not happy!!!
The emphatic statement has been echoed by many
others Ive talked to around town.
However, Im here to tell you there are many reasons
this will be resolved and why you shouldnt freak out.
Yount, others swing for a good cause at Grand Geneva
Golng with Brewers legends
By Mike Ramczyk
TOWN OF LYONS Major League Baseball Hall of
Famer and Milwaukee Brewers legend Robin Yount looked
a bit lost Monday afternoon at Grand Geneva Resort and
Spa.
Riding along with a foursome on the Highlands Course
during the 28th Swing With The Legends charity event,
only the third player ever to win MVP at two positions
scanned the thick-grassed embankment adjacent to the
White River on No. 10 with a careful eye.
Im looking for our balls, Yount said. All my guys
went in the water.
After striking out on his search, Yount hopped in his
cart, sped to the opposite bank of the river and eventually
found a couple golf balls.
Crisis averted.
Yount and 25 other former MLB players, mostly Brew-
ers, attended the all-day event, which included colorful
introductions, a friendly dinner and some fun afterward at
Evolve, the resorts club.
According to the Swing With The Legends website,
Hall of Famers and the names youve watched play the
game, come together to help children and families nation-
wide.
Proceeds from the event, which included a round of golf
with a former player and dinner, goes to kids organiza-
tions like Treytons Field of Dreams and the Major League
Baseball Players Association Legends for Youth.
Yount, who said hes been coming to Lake Geneva since
the 1970s, loves giving back to the youth. He also enjoys
seeing his former teammates like MLB Hall of Famer Rollie
Fingers, Jerry Augustine, Jim Slaton, Mike Caldwell, Don
Money and Charlie Moore.
I like the camaraderie, Yount told a Regional News
reporter moments after his round of golf. Its nice getting
back here. I love this area.
Big Foot
alumnus
playing D1
football
By Mike Ramczyk
FONTANA Four hours a day of training. A meticu-
lous schedule telling you when to eat, sleep, workout and
snack. Even a mandatory enrollment in summer school.
The Division 1 college football lifestyle isnt for the
faint of heart.
A camp that started with 125 football hopefuls has
dwindled down thanks to quitters and ineligibilities.
Fontana native Carter Hehr, a former Big Foot star,
was sent home from camp Aug. 2 and
told to come back Aug. 24 for the start
of the fall season. Unfortunately, he
wasnt selected as one of two players
out of 20 who were invited to an exclu-
sive team camp.
Judy Hehr, Carter Hehrs mom,
being the friendly gal she is, texted
Arizonas head recruiting coach that
Friday, thanking him for this wonder-
ful opportunity for her son.
Say the word, and Carter is on the
next ight back out there, Judy said to
the coach.
Five days later, on Aug. 7, Arizona just couldnt deny
they needed Carter, a 5-foot-10 free safety.
We need him here as soon as possible, said the coach
when the call nally came.
Absolutely shocked, Carter hopped on a ight and
was on Arizonas practice eld last Sunday, Aug. 11.
He has been practicing at Arizona Stadium, which
seats 51,000, all week and will wear full pads Friday.
Truly cannot believe this is happening, Carter
tweeted Aug. 11 upon his arrival.
The former Big Foot quarterback, who racked up more
than 2,000 total yards and 35 total touchdowns upon
leading the Chiefs to the Division IV state title game, will
wear No. 37 for Arizona.

Norman Barr Camp, SeaSpar hook up for magical day of bowling, laughter
Campers thrive at Walworth Lanes
By Mike Ramczyk
WALWORTH TOWNSHIP The
smiles were a mile wide.
Bowling balls crashed into pins Aug. 7
at Walworth Lanes.
It was a fun time, a relaxing getaway
for Chicago-area individuals with special
needs looking for a recreational outlet.
Im in a league, said one camper to a
Regional News reporter.
In fact, that man out-bowled the
Norman B. Barr Camp instructor who put
the whole thing together. The camp, located
in Walworth Township, gives recreational
opportunities in the summer for inner-city
youth and adults with special needs.
On this particular occasion, Barr Camp
teamed up with Southeast Association for
Special Parks and Recreation (SeaSpar) to
entertain around 30 adults with special
needs to a day of bumper bowling.
Rachel Pavesich, 27, represents SeaS-
par, which has visited the Norman B. Barr
Camp for the past 15 years. She loves seeing
people like Katie Hansen, 26, and her peers
thrive at bowling and other activities.
Its awesome to see them in their own
element, without pressures from other
people, Pavesich said.
Hansen loves bowling, dancing and
even acting. She once starred in the play
Grease. She cant see out of her left eye,
and her vision problems make it hard to
walk and see much of anything at night.
Hansen, who takes eye medication
daily and wears protective glasses when
showering and playing sports, said she
experienced erce bullying in high school
due to her limited speech.
Because of my Down syndrome, I cant
see out of my left eye, she said. Its been
like that since birth.
But Katie isnt one to sit around and
wallow in her imperfections. She knows
her limits but breaks through them with a
positive attitude. A LaGrange, Ill., native,
Katie and her twin sister Megan, a teacher
in Chicago, love to hang out. They watch
Glee, Katies favorite show, and go bowling
regularly. Katie said her vision is just ne
when shes reading her bowling scores.
When shes not watching Glee or
Friends, Katie hangs with friends and
has Friday night social clubs, watches plays
and sporting events, makes crafts and
dances and sings with a passion.
Walworth Lanes owner Jeni Diehl said
hosting these individuals warms her heart,
and she would love to have them back.
Curt Schueler, 22, is a program director
at the 104-year-old Norman Barr Camp. A
fourth-generation employee, he said its a
gem on the lake.
Its a beautiful lake, he said. Once
you nd out what the camp is about, you
really love it.
RACHEL PAVESICH, left, loves seeing campers like Katie Hansen having fun with other adults with special needs.

The 57-year-old, widely considered the
best Brewers player ever, recently had left
shoulder surgery, so he didnt play golf.
Yount said the surgery didnt work and he
will need the same procedure on the same
arm.
An owner in the Northwoods collegiate
summer baseball league, headquartered
at Concordia University in Mequon, Yount
said his team, the Chinooks, recently made
their rst playoff appearance. He is excited
about the direction of the league, which
helps college players work on skills during
the offseason.
Yount and 26 other former major leagu-
ers, mostly Brewers, were announced one
by one before the 11:15 a.m. shotgun start.
Gorman Thomas, a power hitter from the
1982 American League champion team,
dazzled the small crowd with a funny
strut.
Yount was announced last and received
the biggest ovation. He joined the rest of the
guys in a line that included Fox Sports Wis-
consin telecaster Davey Nelson for a photo
shoot with various media.
Average Joes got a chance to golf with
a player, and spectators even brought out
lawn chairs, waited at No. 10, and received
autographs from just about every player on
baseball bats, pictures and cards.
Greg Vaughn, who is eighth on the Brew-
ers all-time home run list with 355 and
hit 50 in 1998 with the San Diego Padres,
cheered on his fellow golfer on the par-3 No.
15. Vaughn was within 10 feet of the cup on
his tee shot and then smiled and congratu-
lated his new buddies on their putts.
After the hole, Vaughns friendly atti-
tude shined through.
How you doing, man?, he said to the
Regional News reporter. You having fun?
The reporter professed his love for
Vaughn, mentioning Vaughn was his favor-
ite player growing up.
I shouldve had you with me the whole
time, Vaughn said.
When asked about his trade in 1998 that
sent Vaughn to San Diego, he seemed disap-
pointed he couldnt stay with the Brewers.
Thats the business of it, he said.
There was nothing I could do.
Vaughn nished his round of 18 holes
with a par on the par-4 16th hole.
No strangers to the spotlight, the former
baseball greats had no problem waving
to the cameras, posing for pictures with
strangers and signing whatever was thrown
in front of them.
First, the Big Ten Network had
a similar issue with Time Warner
Cable a few years back just before
football season. In the 11th hour,
after an exhausting number of
complaints from angry customers,
Big Ten Network gured it out and
everyone was happy.
I have every reason to believe the
same will happen here, at the latest
by the very end of August.
Let me give you some perspec-
tive on just how much the state loves
the Packers. I started my journalism
career in the Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel sports department in 2006.
We would often get complaints of
how we covered the Packers much
more than the Brewers, even though
the Brewers are in Milwaukee.
As early as a couple weeks ago,
the Brewers game story was on page
7 of the section, and the front page
was led with two Packers train-
ing camp stories. Yes, only training
camp. Thats how much people care
about the Green and Gold.
If Time Warner Cable and TMJ 4
dont reach an agreement by the end
of the preseason, it wont be the end
of the world. Preseason arent enter-
taining, have no purpose and the
score doesnt count. By the time the
regular season rolls around Sept. 6,
Packer games will be televised on
Fox, ESPN and TMJ 4. Actually,
three games, Oct. 27 at Minnesota,
Nov. 17 at the New York Giants and
Dec. 8 versus Atlanta, are slated for
TMJ 4. Worst-case scenario is the
two networks wait until October to
resolve this thing.
Yes, it would suck to miss all
those Sunday Night games, but at
least you wouldnt miss a Packer
game that counts because just about
every game is on Fox.
The Packers are a state institu-
tion. These corporate big whigs need
to step up and realize that, sooner
rather than later.
Or there will be an entire legion
of fans, armed with the power of
Twitter and Facebook, blasting Time
Warner Cable and WTMJ and seri-
ously affecting their bottom lines.
That will force any company to give
in.
Expect to be watching the
beloved Green and Gold by Saturday
at the earliest and by Aug. 23, the
date of the teams nal home pre-
season game, at the latest.
Football, the most powerful force
in sports entertainment, and its fan
base, will always win.
The customer is always right.
Hitting a softball is totally different than
hitting a baseball, he said. We have a lot of
experience and we know how to move guys
over. Were all team players. We got some
breaks this year.
Travis Stahulak recently signed to play
baseball at Viterbo University next spring.
The 2013 Badger graduate overcame a broken
leg in only a month and recently shined on
the pitching mound for the Genoa City Senior
Legion.
Jeff is a former player at Badger, and Steve
played at Badger and then Carroll College for
a season.
Brant, 12, is the next generation. Steve
hopes the youngster will one day star for
Badger at shortstop just like his father. Though
he claims his knees are starting to go, Steve is
still a premiere shortstop and a tough out at
the plate.
I hope Travis keeps playing hardball,
Steve said. And I hope I can play at least one
year with Travis, Jeff, Brant and myself.
In a phone conversation, Steve worried
about his future with the team. But whenever
he gets discouraged, he thinks of teammate
Tom Jooss. The 63-year-old, who coaches
girls basketball at Badger with his son, David,
is still kicking in the softball world. He was an
integral member of last weekends champion-
ship team.
My inspiration is Tom, Steve said. If he
can do it, I can do it.
Quite the honor roll
Some of the best players in Milwaukee
Brewers history showed up Monday

Already a participant in a summer class at Arizona as well as a
rigorous training regimen that included training four hours a day
with five fitness trainers for four weeks, Hehr feels blessed.
I dont care, Im so grateful to be here, he said.
With 50,000 students at the school, Hehr is one-fifth of one
percent of the population that has unlimited access to a facility
that boasts a 5,000-foot video screen, the fourth-largest in col-
lege football, and an amazing $72 million expansion that was con-
structed in 2009.
The addition has seats and luxury boxes atop a four-story com-
plex housing locker rooms, football offices, a weight training area,
a cafeteria for student-athletes, the new Sands Club and new con-
cessions and bathrooms.
Judy almost cant believe this surreal experience. She said
Carter said he doesnt care if the team makes the Rose Bowl or the
Toilet Bowl, he just knows for sure he will travel with the team.
Arizona, which finished the 2012 campaign 8-5 and won the
New Mexico Bowl, 49-48, over Nevada, may not need Carter this
year or even next year.
But perhaps Carter, who is quite possibly the most successful
quarterback in area football history, will be picking off passes and
crunching ball carriers in the secondary someday.
One thing cant be denied Carters in it for the long haul.
Check next weeks Regional News for more on the Big Foot foot-
ball team, and stay tuned to see if Hehr is playing on the field on
Saturdays this fall.
As always, like Regional News Sports Check for more exclusive

I was pleased and a little
embarrassed when Managing
Editor Rob Ireland showed
me a copy of the Aug. 1 Lake
Geneva Times.
Ostensibly a competitor,
the Times had done a story on
Underground Lake Geneva, a
program we run on ReelLifeTV.
net. ReelLifeTV.net is a video
spinoff of the Regional News.
So why havent we done a
story on it? I asked more to myself than Rob.
The story in the Times, written by editor
Vicky Wedig, did a great job of giving the
reader a feel for how our ReelLife videogra-
phers cover an event. In this case, they were
giving us a taste of the Carson and Barnes
Circus held on the Lake Lawn Airport grounds
a few weekends ago.
The story captured the exuberance of
Phil Bonyata, who heads our ReelLifeTV.net
efforts, Joy Kowald our ace videographer and,
most of all, Philip Sassano our gifted racon-
teur who hosts Underground Lake Geneva.
That said, theres really no way to capture
Sassano. For one thing he moves too fast. For
another, he talks as fast as he thinks a quip
always at the tip of his tongue.
Sassano, whose day job is owning a design
rm and Rened Rustic, Studio and Gallery,
is a born host who gives life to
any room he walks into.
As a measure of his energy,
a friend of mine reported one
day about a conversation he
had with Philip over coffee. As
though he needs coffee, the
friend said.
Frankly, Im not even sure
how Philip ended up as part of
our network family.
My bosses at our corporate
ofces asked me the other day, how much do
we pay him?
Nothing, I said.
And then I repeated myself several times
because corporate bosses cant seem to get
their head around the concept of someone
working for free.
If memory serves and it sometimes
doesnt the Sassano saga started when he
caught a commercial we did for ReelLifeTV.
net that ran on YouTube.
Whats this ReelLife TV? Sassano asked
me one day over the phone.
I explained it to him. We shoot commer-
cials, put them on ReelLifeTV.net and on You-
Tube.
When I transferred him to Bonyata I
knew it was a match made in heaven. Two
creative personalities with a gift for gab and
outlandish energy. They hit it
off. And when Joy was worked
into the equation, Sassano was
so happy with her personality
that he eventually hired her to
work at his store.
Before even I knew it those
three musketeers had started
Underground Lake Geneva
sort of a walking minstrel
show whereby they visit area
events and gure it out as they
go along.
The Times article men-
tioned that the shows are
unscripted. Its true. Beyond
broad concepts going in, they
make it up as they go along.
Its one reality show thats really a reality
show. Sassano is a master ad libber. We never
know what will come out of his mouth and I
dont think he does, either.
ReelLife is one of those rare ideas that has
received rave reviews. Knock on wood, Im
still waiting for a bad one. Our testimonials
ll in the white spaces in the Regional News
and Resorter.
I can brag about it because it has nothing
to do with me. Give Phil, Joy and Philip a free
hand and I can just sit back and enjoy it like
everyone else.
My favorite videos from the
ReelLifeTV.net vault are the
interviews Sassano did with
local students for his What is
Lake Geneva Missing? cam-
paign an awareness project
to start discussion about our
community.
Theyre a spinoff of the
AT&T Its Not Complicated
commercials. AT&T spent a
gazillion dollars on the com-
mercials and auditioned thou-
sands of kids.
Philip just walked in cold
with kids supplied by the
school and pulled it off every
bit as well as the high-priced
marketing people did.
And check out our entire network at Reel-
LifeTV.net.
We thank the Times for getting the scoop
on us. The whole story is available at http://
news.mywalworthcounty.com
Now Im wondering why we havent done
an Underground on ReelLifeTV.net itself or,
for that matter, the Regional News. Ill just sit
back and see if Philip, Phil and Joy read the
paper to see if they pick up on my little hint.
Halverson is editor and general manager
of the Regional News.
Dear W.C.,
Please help my family.
We are in desperate need of
assistance. My children and I
are sharing a rental with my
mother but this is a bad envi-
ronment for us to be in. My
mother did not tell me she was
unable to pay her utilities due
to her cigarettes and buying
stuff for her new boyfriend.
I found out she has been
paying for her all boyfriends
expenses. He has her brainwashed into thinking she needs to
help him, all while letting her own family down.
Now she told me she is going to move in with him, leaving
me with the rent and unpaid utilities. We have been sharing a
house for 18 months. I thought living with my mother would
be a good nancial move for me when my husband left us two
years ago. She promised to only smoke outside. Now I nd she
is gone most nights and when she is home with my children
she is smoking inside with her boyfriend.
Our deal was she would pay utilities and I would pay the
rent. Now we are about to be evicted because she let our utili-
ties be disconnected. I do not have the money to pay the over-
due utilities. Every penny I earn goes to food, rent and gas for
my car to get to work. I would love to get out of this situation
and on our own.
Can you please help us?
Dear readers,
I called the mother, and we spoke briey about her situ-
ation. She invited me over right away as they had been living
without utilities and were about to be evicted as the terms on
her lease were to keep the utilities on. I drove to the rental to
see what kind of environment the children and mother were
living in.
As soon as the mother opened the door to invite me in I
could smell the strong odor of cigarettes in the air. I mentioned
this and the mother said, My mother hasnt been here since
yesterday and I have the windows open. That is how much she
smokes in the house. Everything smells of her smoke.
After a brief walk through the house I suggested we sit out-
side to talk and that the children play outside as well. I noticed
the children both had coughs. I explained to her about the
negative health effects of secondhand smoke on children and
herself.
She told me, You dont have to tell me about that. I already
know. My daughter has asthma that was manageable. It hadnt
even bothered her until my mother started smoking in the
house after her boyfriend told her it was her right. When he is
here he smokes inside too.
I could not believe how selsh these two adults were being
to not care about the childrens health, especially when it
caused asthma attacks.
Over the years I have come across many young children
with cancer and asthma. When a cigarette is smoked inside the
carcinogens remain on the furniture, walls, ooring, window
treatments, clothing, all surfaces for days. The toxins in the
cigarette smoke attack the childrens developing respiratory
system, causing coughing, wheezing, respiratory infections,
then asthma, allergies and eventually cancer. I have come
across several young children dying from cancer.
I have seen them weak, having lost all their hair, watching
out a window at the other healthy children playing outside. I
did not want to see that happen to this family.
When she rst moved in with her mother everything was
OK, until the lazy boyfriend moved in.
She did not realize it would be putting the health of her
children and herself at risk.
After a few more questions it was clear the mother and
children needed to get out of that lease and move into a smaller
place of their own. I offered to call the landlord on her behalf.
The landlord was understandably upset by the utilities being
disconnected.
When I told him the only way the mother and children
could get by in the future was by getting out of the lease he was
even more upset. I talked with him for some time and we came
to an agreement. If he could nd a new renter right away he
would apply her security deposit to the overdue utility bill.
The mother agreed to those terms. After the conversation
with the landlord we went over her budget to determine how
much she could afford for rent on her own.
The woman told me, I have been trying to get along with
my mother my whole life. She always does what she wants
without ever considering anyone else. Somehow she manages
to always get by. This time she took me down with her.

We were scooped on our own story
Mother chooses boyfriend over family
PHOTOTORIAL
TARNISHING THE IMAGE? Lake Geneva has such a great rep-
utation as an upscale tourist community, its a shame that some
of the downtown trash receptacles like this one near the corner
of Main and Broad streets are in such sorry shape. The wood
on the benches could also use replacement. Maybe, for next
summer the city could rustle up a few bucks for remodeling.
John Halverson, editor
I cant worry about her anymore. I have
to put my children rst in my life. I knew this
was a hard decision for her to make, but it was
one she had to make.
I asked the mother if I could talk to her
mother. She said she would try to get her to
talk with me. She called her mother outside to
talk.
After introducing myself I tried to explain
to her the importance of her smoking outside.
She just did not seem to grasp the concept
of the smoke affecting her grandchildrens
health.
I asked her if she loved her grandchildren
and she said, Of course.
When I told her how smoking around the
children was not being a loving grandmother,
she did not want to hear any of this and walked
in the house. Her boyfriend came outside with
the smell of alcohol on his breath.
He told me, We can smoke anywhere we
want! I asked where he got his cigarettes. He
looked confused by the question. I told him, I
was told you have not had a job in four years.
This time he looked at me and smiled, as
if to be proud of his record-breaking time of
being lazy.
The grandmother of the children stepped
back outside, apparently having heard our
conversation, and shouted, I buy our ciga-
rettes and beer. What of it?
I knew the only
income she had was
her disability check
so the two were using
that to fund their bad
habits. They both stormed off and left the
house. The mother of the children said she
did this often to her when she did not want
to hear what she should do. I could see the
grandmother was beyond our capabilities of
assistance and knew we needed to just help
the mother and children.
I kept in touch with the mother for the
next few days as she worked hard to nd an
affordable apartment to rent. I suggested a
few rentals I knew of that were more within
her price range. She agreed to go look.
After going to see the rental, and noticing
the lack of cigarette smoke odor in the build-
ing, she agreed to the move. The health of her
children was the most important thing to be
considered. I also kept in touch with the land-
lord, hopeful to hear if he had a new tenant for
the home the mother was renting. God must
have heard our prayers as everything seemed
to fall into place quickly.
The following day we found a two bed-
room apartment she could afford. The land-
lord informed me he had a tenant ready to
take the home the following week. He would
make good on his offer and pay off the over-
due utilities.
The grandmother returned to the house
she rented with her daughter and grandchil-
dren. She came one evening with the boy-
friend, both pufng on cigarettes even though
the mother told them repeatedly to leave their
smoking outside, and took her belongings.
She even took some belongings that were
not hers but refused to listen to her daughters
pleas to stop as the boyfriend argued with her
too. The mother called me in tears after they
left, hurt by her own mothers betrayal again.
She informed me they somehow had found
another person to live with.
We helped this mother and two children
with rst months rent and security deposit
on her new apartment. We also helped them
with some household necessities and toilet-
ries, as these were the items the grandmother
had taken with her, even though they did not
belong to her. We pro-
vided the mother with
gas gift cards to help
with her daily com-
mute to work. All this
assistance enabled the mother and children
to start out with a new budget, one that made
their new life healthy and their apartment a
home.
My last visit was to a clean smelling
apartment lled with childrens laughter, not
coughing and wheezing. They all kept repeat-
ing, Thank you. Thank you. Their gratitude
for not becoming homeless was shared with
all of you that make our mission to bring pov-
erty relief to those in need possible.
Together, we will continue to replace the
fear, pain and suffering of poverty, with com-
passion, healing, caring and sharing with our
hearts to change lives. Thank you for helping
us achieve Gods good works for those in des-
perate need.
Health and happiness,
God bless everyone,

To the Editor:
We know them, we see them, and perhaps weve even been one of
them. Drunken drivers come from all walks of life, but they do have
something in common. Theyve made one of the most dangerous and
irresponsible decisions an operator of a potentially lethal weapon can
make.
Last year, 223 people died and nearly 3,000 were injured in alco-
hol-related crashes in Wisconsin. Many of them were innocent victims
who were killed or injured by a drunken driver.
To help combat drunken driving, the Lake Geneva Police Depart-
ment ofcers will be out in force from Aug. 16 through Sept. 2, which
includes the Labor Day weekend, for the national Drive Sober or Get
Pulled Over campaign.
Drunken driving is entirely preventable. So we urge you to use a
designated driver or nd another way home if youre impaired. The
Zero in Wisconsin trafc safety initiative also offers a free Drive Sober
mobile app that can be downloaded by visiting zeroinwisonsin.gov.
During this crackdown on drunken drivers and throughout the
year, we are serious when we say, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
Sgt. Bridgett Way
Lake Geneva Police Department
To the Editor:
When Gov. Scott Walker took ofce he pledged to not be a one
party governor. He promised to protect our natural resources
and to support our education system. Our resources are threat-
ened by the mining bill that deems harm to the environment is
necessary and permitting high capacity wells with no regard for
ground water consequences. In exchange for corporate campaign
support, Walkers legislators abandoned their duty to serve public
interests in favor of special interests.
In support of education, Walker cut school funding (K-col-
lege) by more than $2 billion. He offered and nanced unac-
countable private schools as a substitute for public education.
Teachers were promised that Act 10 would reward the best and
brightest. What public employees received was a $1 billion loss
in buying power. Veteran teachers headed for retirement. Those
that remained saw their take-home pay cut with no hope of even
matching ination.
The ballot box has always been the means by which voters
could express dissatisfaction with those in power. Secretive
redistricting has left most Assembly and Senate districts incum-
bent-friendly and the voter little in the way of competitive choice.
Dissent is no longer viable at the ballot box nor at the Peoples
House. Holding a picture of Jesus or a sign reading Article 1,
Section 4 can lead to arrest. Simply gathering at the capital or
singing God Bless America provokes a profound police pres-
ence.
Government of and for the people cannot occur when gov-
ernment by the people is denied.

Agatha Lanzillotti
August 2013
Agatha Lanzillotti, 93, recently passed away in hospice
care in Park Ridge, Ill.
Mrs. Lanzillotti, in addition to being a loving wife and
mother, had a long, diverse professional career that included
writing, acting, and teaching.
During the 1950s and 1960s, living in Lake Geneva, Mrs.
Lanzillotti was a reporter for the Janesville Gazette. Mrs.
Lanzillotti won many news awards and was noted for her
coverage of several contentious events that occurred in and
around Lake Geneva including the spread of dutch elm dis-
ease, which ravaged thousands of trees but previously had
been relatively unknown in Wisconsin, a multi-year con-
troversy surrounding the construction of the Highway 12
bypass, and a proposal to build the U.S. Air Force Academy
on the shores of Geneva Lake. In 1954, a visiting delegation
of Air Force engineers was greeted by demonstrators oppos-
ing the school when the party came to inspect land. Never
one to avoid a good story, a photo on the front page of the
Gazette showed Mrs. Lanzillotti in the middle of a face-off
between the engineers and demonstrators.
Other events covered by Mrs. Lanzillotti included summer
visits to Lake Geneva by world famous pianist Dave Brubeck
and trumpeter Louis Armstrong. Mrs. Lanzillotti had long
conversations with them and afterward remarked at how
gracious they were in discussing their lives. She interviewed
senators John Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey during their
1960 campaigns for the Democratic Party nomination to run
for President. A sidelight of the interview with Humphrey
was that her husband, G.M. Lanzillotti, and Humphrey had
been close friends at Louisiana State University and her hus-
band and Humphrey had occasion to reminisce about their
university experiences and eventual careers.
Mrs. Lanzillotti, along with co-author Leo Terry, wrote
a musical play about the history of Lake Geneva that was
staged at the Lake Geneva High School auditorium in 1958.
The semi-professional production, featuring local actors,
singers, musicians, and support crew played to standing-
room-only audiences, was widely acclaimed in the region,
and attracted comment in Chicago and Milwaukee news-
papers. It was often mentioned that the whole town was
involved in the production and was a source of great civic
pride.
At other times in the 1950s, Mrs. Lanzillotti taught in a
one-room elementary school near Lake Geneva and was a
member of the editorial staffs of the American Journal of
Ophthalmology and the Encyclopedia Britannica, working
mostly from home. In the 1970s and 1980s, while living in
Chicago, she wrote several childrens stories and tutored
reading to at-risk youngsters as part of a community proj-
ect.
Mrs. Lanzillotti for many years worked at the Montgom-
ery Ward corporate headquarters in Chicago as a copy writer
for, among other things, product descriptions that appeared
in the famous Wards catalogs. To better understand the
details of the products, she enjoyed visiting manufacturing
plants throughout the U.S. to meet with designers.
In the 1940s and 1950s Mrs. Lanzillotti acted in little
theater presentations in Louisiana and elsewhere and was
a character voice on live radio soap operas originating from
New Orleans radio station WWL.
Mrs. Lanzillotti (nee Passantino) was born and raised in
New Orleans, Louisiana and often talked about the unique
culture at that time in the city and state and about the happy
family times she had with her mother Josephine and father
Joseph, four younger siblings and a host of relatives and
friends. She received a Bach-
elors degree in 1940 from
Louisiana State University
where she majored in Eng-
lish She married G.M. Lan-
zillotti, another Louisiana
State University student, in
1939 and they were married
for 72 years until his death in
2012.
Mrs. Lanzillotti is sur-
vived by her devoted son
Adrian (Young Hee) Lan-
zillotti of Fairfax, Virginia,
and daughter Diana (Robert)
Karis of Chicago, and grand-
sons Michael Karis and John
(Eden) Lanzillotti of Chicago
and Paul Lanzillotti of Las
Vegas.
