Ruthy Bently of Watseka, Minn. didnt mind sharing
her story.
Not all of those waiting for the opening of the Mission
of Mercy free dental clinic at Badger High School wanted to
talk, and not all wanted to give their full names.
But Bently, who is middle-aged, said shed been sitting
in her lawn chair since 6:30 a.m., and she was willing to
stay overnight.
It was just 9 a.m. on Thursday.
The volunteers were just two hours into setting up the
free clinic and already nine people were waiting by the
northwest entrance, where, 21 and a half hours later, at
5:30 a.m. Friday, about 2,000 patients were expected to
make their way to dental treatment on a rst-come, rst-
served basis.
The clinic operated Friday and Saturday, 5:30 a.m. to
5:30 p.m.
Ive not been to see a real dentist since I was 16 because
Im scared to death of them, said Bently. However, she said
she went to the free clinic in Minnesota two weeks ago and
met some of the dentists and hygienists and found them to
be compassionate people who want to help others.
Because of the people she met there, she said, her fears
melted away.
She had 16 teeth pulled and was prescreened for den-
tures at the next Mission of Mercy, here in Lake Geneva,
She said she had to learn that dentists are people, too.
She turned to Carol Weber, public relations, and said I
want to say Im thankful.
Colleen B. of Chicago was looking for a root canal. She
cant afford the asking price of $2,000 for a root canal at a
dentists ofce.
Colleen said she is attending College of Lake County
for an associates degree in art. Her goal is to study law at
DePaul University.
Marcia Knull of Elkhorn wanted to get her dentures
repaired or replaced. They are causing her intense pain.
She is on Medicare and Social Security. A widow, she
has no other income. She came early Thursday, thinking
that numbers would be issued to patients on that day. But
patients didnt receive numbers until Friday.
Knull said she was worried that if she left to go home
she would lose her place, but those around her promised to
hold her place in line.
Im a widow, she said. Ive never been to something
like this.

Deputies, reghters rescue two from White River
Walworth County Sheriffs deputies rescued a
trapped kayaker and canoeist from the White River
Wednesday afternoon at about 3:52 p.m..
The deputies found the two people pinned up
against a large log about a mile away from Sheridan
Springs and Short Road. The current was strong and
the victims were in obvious distress, according to
a press release from the Walworth County Sheriffs
Department.
The Lyons Fire and Rescue Units also responded
to the incident.
Adriane M. Granlunds kayak overturned, and
she was swept down the river. Jim M. McKay, 48,
of Lake Villa, Ill., came across Granlund, 29, of Elkhorn,
while he was canoeing.
McKay attempted to free Granlund from the log, but his
canoe became swamped. Granlund found himself pinned
against the same log. The White River was swollen due to
the large amount of rain in the area.
Deputies threw ropes and oatation devices to both
Granlund and McKay, and they were eventually able to
pull them from the river.
When she was rescued, Granlund was showing
signs of distress and early onset hypothermia. She
was rushed by ambulance to Aurora Memorial Hospi-
tal of Burlington. Her current condition is unknown,
according to the press release.
Three of Granlunds friends were kayaking in
three other kayaks. They are identied as Kyra M.
Brown, 24, of Elkhorn; Catherine R. Choyce, 29, of
Elkhorn and Shiloh M Graske, 28, of Delavan.
McKay, Brown, Choyce and Graske were checked
out by EMTs at the shoreline and were released.
The sheriffs ofce wishes to remind everyone
that entering any fast moving body of water right
now is very dangerous, the sheriffs department press
release said. What was once a slow moving creek or river
is now a much different body of water to navigate or swim
or sh in.

A look
back at
67 riot
By John Halverson
jhalverson@lakegenevanews.net
July 4, 1967 a day that will live in infamy.
It wasnt as dramatic as that Day of Infamy when the
Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, but in the micro-
cosm thats Lake Geneva, it was pretty incredible.
Thats the day when college kids, or kids of college age,
rioted here.
Whether it was youthful spirit, misplaced idealism or
simply fun gone amok is hard to determine, but it turned
out to be more than anyone can imagine happening today.
GUARDSMEN CLOSE LAKE GENEVA TO STOP
HOLIDAY RIOTERS, screamed the two-deck banner
headline in the July 6, 1967 Lake Geneva Regional News.
An estimated crowd of between 3,000 and 5,000 kids
were blamed for the riots. An Ohio paper called them
rampaging youth.
By the time it was over, the city was littered with noto-
rious occurrences:
* The Andy Gump statue in Flat Iron Park was torn
down. The plaque for it was found in two feet of water. A
car was seen driving around with a sign that read Andy
Gump is Dead.
* Firecrackers, bottles, rocks and even a phone booth
were thrown at stores, cars, boats and homes.

By the end of this summer, the Lake Geneva Police
Department hopes to have a 911 system in place that wont
lose 911 calls.
Cell 911 calls made to the Lake Geneva police must rst
go through the Walworth County Sheriffs Departments
communications system.
If you call 911 on a cell,
the county asks your name,
phone number and location,
said Rasmussen.
The call is then trans-
ferred to Lake Geneva, and
there is a 15-second delay,
during which about half
of the cell phone calls are
dropped.
When the city receives the call, all the dispatcher screen
shows is a call-back number and a general location of where
the call was made, or, perhaps, the location of the cell tower
from which the call was transferred.
If the call isnt dropped, the caller will again have to
give his or her name, phone number, location and purpose
of the call, Rasmussen said.
If the call is dropped, the dispatcher dials the call-back
number in an effort to reconnect with the caller.
In certain cases, we will have to call back, said Ras-
mussen.
In all cases, ofcers are dispatched to the scene, he
said.
We do respond to every call, Rasmussen said.
The system change is needed.
On average, cell calls accounted for 67 to 70 percent of
all 911 calls received by the Lake Geneva Police Depart-
ment from January to May, Rasmussen said
And the rst ve months of the year are slow.
Well jump an extra 100 calls per month until August,
and most of those will be cell phone calls because many of
those who call are tourists, Rasmussen said.
The project to transfer 911 cell calls directly to the Lake
Geneva PD is in the capital budget. And its not that expen-
sive.
It takes about $900 in fees to get the service switched,
Rasmussen said.
However, it requires coordination with AT&T, the citys
cell telecommunications provider. Rasmussen said he
recently met with a sheriffs department representative, a
representative from AT&T and Delavan Police Chief Tom
ONeill to try and expedite the 911 call transfer from the
sheriffs department to the Lake Geneva police dispatch
center.
Rasmussen said there are some technical details that
need to be worked out.
He said he expects the transfer to occur at the end of
summer. While too late to handle the tourist season cell
911 calls this year, Rasmussen said the timing will give the
departments communications staff some time to get used
to the new system.
That improvement will be one of two that the police
department is planning for its aging 911 communications
system.
The second involves a step up in emergency communi-
cations technology that will allow the citys 911 communi-
cations center to accept text messages and video from 911
calls, said Jean Froggatt, Lake Geneva Police Departments
communications supervisor.
Texting and video are now common components of cell
phone communications. But 911 is not congured to accept
text or video, said Froggatt.
AT&T is now experimenting with texting and video, she
said.
New 911 to be cell phone friendly
Upgrades wont lose calls,
accepts text and video
CHRIS SCHULTZ/REGIONAL NEWS
KEEPING TABS on all in-coming and out-going police communications requires all of Jean Froggatts attention. Froggatt is
communications supervisor for the Lake Geneva Police Department. As high tech as this looks, the police department is seek-
ing an upgrade to its 911 equipment that will expedite 911 calls from cell phones and improve identication of call locations
and buildings that may need police or re department protection.

Coach, teacher, politician retires from Badger
By Kelly Meyerhofer
Special to the Regional News
It looks like just another summer of swim lessons at
Badger High School. Parents bustle their children into
minivans. An instructor frantically searches for a miss-
ing kickboard.
And Doug Harrod runs the show, clipboard in hand,
as he has done for the past 26 summers.
It may not seem like Harrod has retired from teach-
ing. He still wears a maroon Badger polo and khaki
pants, the uniform of a high school teacher.
But after 29 years in the classroom at Badger, Har-
rods desk is empty.
And come August, hell be hanging up his whistle as
well.
Harrod is most known in the community for edu-
cating sophomores about CPR, STDs, and other health-
related acronyms. But to those who know him well, his
contributions far exceed his educator position.
Hes been here forever, said Badger principal Bob
Kopydlowski.
Before he came to Badger in 1984, Harrod taught sci-
ence in both Illinois and Montana.
He originally was a pre-vet major at the University
of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana but eventually settled
on health education when he realized he didnt have the
connections to get into vet school.
His so-called lack of connections comes as quite a
surprise when everyone Harrod passed during the dura-
tion of the interview stopped by to chat.
His involvement in seemingly all Badger extracur-
riculars may explain his popularity around the school.
Kopydlowski explained, Hes coached practically
everything - football, track, swim, ski team.
Harrod added one more to the list.
I took over wrestling in the early 80s because they
were going to drop the program.
Harrod didnt love wrestling, but he did it for the
kids.
For the kids.
Its a recurring theme in Harrods 45-year career as
an educator.
It explains why he spent so much time talking to dis-
advantaged students about job opportunities.
He encouraged them to look beyond a minimum
wage job and apply to tech and trade schools.
Harrod said these students have little parental
involvement in their lives because their parents are
working hard to make a living wage.
We need to stop this cycle from continuing, he
said. Harrods concern for the underprivileged trans-
lates from the classroom into his political platform.
He unsuccessfully ran for state Assembly in both
2008 and 2010 while emphasizing education and health
care access during his campaign.
Though he ran as a Democratic, Harrod likes to think
less ideologically.
Politicians need to serve the people, not the party,
Harrod said, pushing up his crooked glasses.
He has plans to run again for Assembly while push-
ing a platform advocating for the poor.
His intentions are best seen through his work for
multiple food pantries in Walworth County.
For the past seven years, Harrod has opened his
home garden to any and all who would like a plot of land
to grow vegetables.
The only catch?
At least 50 percent of the plot must be donated to a
food pantry.
An estimated 2,500 pounds of food per year are
grown on Harrods land by his volunteers.
Though this act of service is done to feed the com-
munity, he also sees the potential health benefits of his
fresh produce program.
Its important that people get fresh vegetables in
their diet every day, Harrod said, forever the health
teacher.
The produce program will continue as will his aspir-
ing political career. As for Badger High School, his legacy
will live on.
Whether it was in the classroom or on the ski hill,
he didnt accept excuses and always expected hard work
and effort, said former student and ski team member
Kimberlin Schaid.
After 45 years of jam-packed teaching, coaching, and
volunteer work it seemed like Harrod is finally slowing
down.
He mentioned finishing up his last summer of swim
lessons and a hip replacement surgery in September.
But then he let it slip.
Ill probably substitute teach at Badger later in the
year, Harrod confessed.
For the kids.

Second-grade teacher retires
after 36 years at Brookwood Elementary
Searching for
a new passion
By Steve Targo
steve@lakegenevanews.net
Karen Barrett-Jackson, Brookwood
Elementary Schools second-grade teacher
for the last 36 years, has retired.
This may surprise some, considering
how upbeat and passionate the well-liked
Barrett-Jackson is about her job. Such opti-
mism and desire to teach remained during
a telephone interview last week, when she
spoke about her former job at Brookwood.
It was if she couldnt wait to return next
fall.
Im pretty sure I will sub a lot, or work
part-time in teaching, she said. Im not
sure yet where (but) I want to have my
hands in education.
Now, Barrett-Jackson said, its just time
for her to retire.
Not only does she want to spend more
time with her family and travel, she said
she also wants to nd a new passion.
I still have a lot of energy, Barrett-
Jackson said. I think I can
still make a difference.
Her pedigree in that
department appears to be
solid.
Brookwood students
gave Barrett-Jackson ow-
ers during the schools
recent awards night cer-
emony. Patrick Sherman,
vice president of the school
board, gave a speech in her honor.
Karen, the greatest compliment I can
give you is the old saying, A great teacher
is like a candle they both consume them-
selves to light the way for others, Sherman
said.
He also said Barrett-Jackson played
a big part in the success of students who
have gone on to graduate from Brookwood
Middle and Badger High schools.
So how does one undertake the daunt-
ing task of following in her footsteps?
I think you have to have the passion,
said Barrett-Jackson, when asked to give
advice to new teachers, including who-
ever takes her place. Your love has to be
unconditional for the kids and the job.
You just have to embrace it and just know
that youre making a difference. Teachers
change lives.
Barrett-Jackson even has written proof
of that last statement.
She said since her retirement, she has
received more than 50 cards and letters
from people who wish her well.
In the family
Apparently, the secret to Barrett-Jack-
sons success has been passion, which she
said came at an early age.
I always wanted to be a teacher, since
as long as I can remember, she said.
Barrett-Jackson said she used to play
school and pretend to be a teacher with her
twin sister, Kathy Murphy.
Murphy and several family members
became teachers, and one of them even
became a principal.
Although they grew up mostly in Bur-
lington, Barrett-Jackson said she has a
grandmother who was one of the rst
teachers to be licensed in Iowa.
I have her teachers certicate she got
in the early 1900s, she said.
Barrett-Jackson followed suit, obtain-
ing a degree at the University of Wiscon-
sin-Whitewater, then a masters at Aurora
University in Illinois.
In October 1977, she subbed at Brook-
wood for about two weeks, then was offered
the job of second-grade
teacher.
I honestly didnt even
know where Genoa City
was, and I got a sub call
there, she laughed. They
were so nice. They had
really small class sizes.
Everyone was very welcom-
ing. I was so excited when I
got the job.
Barrett-Jackson said its the challenges
that made the job so enjoyable.
And, of course, the main reason school
exists.
I think I really just love little kids, she
said.
Actually, theres a lot Barrett-Jackson
said she loves about being a teacher, from
keeping up with curriculum and technology
challenges to expecting the unexpected.
She said shes not a morning person, but
coming into work each day always made her
smile. Even when you consider the severity
of the, um, challenges.
Every night, Id have everything laid
out for my next day, she said. In teach-
ing, you cant just walk in (unprepared)
because youll have a parent call you or
a kid will come in and throw up on you.
Theres always something.
She said there comes a time in ones
career when condence sets in. It was a
good 20 years before I was, like, very con-
dent, when you can say to a parent, Im
sure this works because of this, Barrett-
Jackson said.
But does she believe what Sherman and
others have told her, that she has made a
difference at Brookwood? It sounds weird,
but I just know it in my heart, Barrett-
Jackson said. I also get afrmations from
other parents, other teachers and Mr. (dis-
trict administrator Bill) Lehner Ill see
parents of children Ive had years ago and
theyll say, My childs a teacher because of
you.
She said the challenge now is to nd a
new passion. One on hand, Barrett-Jack-
son said she has worked since she was 15,
so it will be nice to spend more time with
her parents, Cliff and Shirley Kinsey. And
on June 11, she married James Jackson.
Barrett-Jackson said she hopes to travel
more and nd projects.
But she threw out some ideas for a new
part-time job. All of them were related to
education. Then again, Barrett-Jackson
said she always has lots of ideas. Thats
part of the problem.
Im kind of in a quandary with that,
she said. I want to do something different,
Im just not sure what.

son June 11.

and Ryan Jacobson.

Turtle case closed, no suspect
Evidently, the DNRs investigation into the June 10 fatal turtle beating
on a Delavan golf course will end without anyone facing charges.
According to online reports last week, the DNR told the Global Con-
servation Group a Wisconsin animal rights organization that it has
exhausted all of its resources on the case.
The DNR reportedly interviewed people at the golf course at the time
of the beating, which is believed to have occurred between 7:30 and 9:30
a.m. Ofcials conducted interviews over the phone and by making house
calls, according to examiner.com.
On June 24, the Global Conservation Group issued this statement on
Facebook.
We had our cruelty investigation department look into the case to
determine its difculty and they concluded that this case, despite the
available time frame, will be difcult to solve because the members on the
golf course could and did bring anybody they wanted to golf with them
and those nonmembers were not recorded in any records.
The female snapping turtle that died as a result of a fractured skull
and holes in its shell was believed to have been laying eggs in a sand trap
at Delbrook Golf Course.
A DNR warden brought the turtle to Fellow Mortals Wildlife Hospital,
town of Geneva, for treatment shortly after the incident.
On June 11, the turtle was transferred to Pineview Wildlife Rehabilita-
tion Center, Fremont. It died the next day.
The incident prompted several to express outrage online via social
media networks. On June 14, Yvonne Wallace Blane, of Fellow Mortals,
said she was happy to see that. She also said animal abuse cases such as
these are not rare a female mallard duck was admitted to her hospital
the same day as the turtle, after it lost an eye and suffered a fractured
skull because someone threw rocks at it.
In a June 14 telephone interview, Dan Piecha general manager of
Delbrook said the turtle beating is not something the golf course con-
dones, nor is it common, calling the incident an anomaly.
He also said the golf course will contribute to the reward. The club
is taking up its own collection, and golfers have donated money, Piecha
said.
All the money that we are collecting, that our golfers are voluntarily
donating, we will collect and donate to that reward fund, he said.
As of last week, the Global Conservation Group and People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals, PETA, is each offering a $5,000 reward
leading to an arrest and conviction of whoever beat the turtle.
On Facebook June 24, Fellow Mortals posted a status update.
We are very disappointed that the investigation into the death by
beating of Grace, a snapping turtle, has resulted in no suspects and no
arrest, the hospital stated. Despite this, she will not have died for noth-
ing as long as everyone who cared enough to speak out continues to speak
out against cruelty and abuse toward any living being.
She told police she
swerved to avoid the semi,
struck the rumble strips
and lost control of her vehi-
cle, which struck the guard
rail on the westbound lane
of Highway 12. She com-
plained of head pain after
the collision. Police were
unable to locate the semi,
and the womans vehicle
was towed from the scene.
The womans name, age and
address, as well as informa-
tion about her vehicle, were
not reported.
n An identity theft com-
plaint was reported June
4 at 7:03 p.m. The victim
showed police documents
indicating there were sev-
eral credit cards opened
in his name which he was
unaware of. The cards
were opened without his
approval, the report states.
n Someone stole bot-
tles of Hydrocodone, Norco
medication and Coladapin
June 6 between 5 and
9:30 p.m. from a village
of Bloomeld residence.
Police did not report the
street location of the inci-
dent. The total value of the
medication was listed at
$100.
n Someone stole an X-
box controller and a stereo
system remote control from
a building prior to June 6 at
5:55 p.m. from a building
in Bloomeld. The control-
ler was valued at $50, the
remote $25. Police did not
report the location of the
incident.
n A tailgate worth
$500 was stolen between
June 1 at 11:15 p.m. and
June 2 at 7:50 a.m. from a
parked vehicle. Police did
not report any information
about the vehicle or where
it was parked.

Declaration Declaration Independence
Independence
R
e-signed and Re-affirmed in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
on this Fourth Day of July, 2013
of
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776
The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that
among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed
for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than
to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the
same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide
new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to
alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all hav-
ing in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be
obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representa-
tion in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole pur-
pose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have
returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and con-
vulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass
others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their
acts of pretended legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its bound-
aries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with cir-
cumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends
and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages,
whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by
repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an
unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their
native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would
inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold
them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for
the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these
united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all
political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they
have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states
may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each
other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Lake Genevas nancial position is strong one for a
municipality, said David Maccoux of Schenk & Associates.
Maccoux was at the city council meeting June 24 to
present the annual audit.
In overall comments, Maccoux was favorable about the
citys nances.
Asked directly by two council members, Ellyn Kehoe
and Bill Mott, what the audit shows overall, Maccoux
replied that the city has a strong nancial balance sheet,
strong reserves and the TIF district has a strong balance
as well.
When I look at the operations of the city, I see a strong
economy and strong growth, Maccoux said.
Maccoux said the city management cooperated fully in
the audit and there were no difculties.
He said the audit did nd two signicant deciencies
both involving the separation of duties in handling money.
According to the auditors letter, a signicant deciency,
he said, is an item of concern, but it is not serious enough to
evoke immediate action.
The most serious level is called a material
weakness, in which enough deciencies in inter-
nal control exist that there is a reasonable prob-
ability that mistakes or misappropriations are
occurring and not being detected.
Lake Geneva does not have any material weak-
nesses, according to the audit.
The auditors letter also states that the auditors
did not encounter any evidence of fraud or sus-
pected fraud involving city management, employ-
ees involved in handling money or any other situ-
ation in which fraud could have a material effect
on the citys nancial statements.
However, Maccoux said the auditors are con-
cerned because a limited number of employees
perform the majority of the accounting functions
for the city.
Another area of concern is the municipal
court, where the money tends to go through a
small number of hands before it reaches the city,
Maccoux said.
Auditors, he said, lean toward more people
and steps involved in the handling of money. Fur-
ther segregating the duties of those handling cash
adds checks and balances against theft and fraud,
he said.
While these are listed as deciencies, they are not
uncommon ndings with smaller communities that have
small municipal work forces, Maccoux added.
It is up to the city to decide whether the stated decien-
cies warrant hiring additional personnel, he said.
For example, the municipal court accounts for $138,000
in cash ow to the general fund, which in 2012 totaled $7.1
million. In terms of a percentage of the general fund, that
amount is relatively small, Maccoux said.
As a practical matter, hiring more people to watch over
the courts funds may not be cost effective for the city, he
said.
On the nancial side, the citys debt ratio of about $1 for
every $10 of permitted debt is very strong, Maccoux said.
The city has $6.1 million in general obligation debt.
State law allows the city to borrow up to 5 per-
cent of its total valuation, which would come to
about $61 million, Maccoux said.
The citys TIF district is in the black. Maccoux
said hes dealt with communities in which their
TIF districts were struggling, and some were
under water and had to be bailed out by the tax-
payers.
The city has adequate cash on hand to deal
with emergencies. The city budget has $2 million
in unassigned funds. Essentially, thats money
used for cash ow, Maccoux said.
The city owns a total of $88 million in prop-
erty, structures, vehicles, equipment and cash,
according to the audit.
Minus liabilities, which would be debt, struc-
tured debt, scheduled payments and depreciation,
brings the net value of city assets to $70,623,000,
he said. However, the citys capital assets, build-
ings, vehicles and structures, through no fault
of the citys, continues to lose value to deprecia-
tion, Maccoux said. Lake Genevas average annual
depreciation is about $4.5 million per year, he said.
Unless the city commits to spending $4.5 million
on capital assets every year, the capital assets will
continue to lose value as they age, he said.
The balance sheet is still strong, said Maccoux. The
struggle will be to continue operations without eroding
that balance sheet, he said.
The general fund had a very good year, Maccoux said.
The general fund saw an $876,000 increase in revenue in
2012 over 2011. Revenues exceeded budgeted expenses by
$252,000.
Obviously the city is in excellent nancial condition,
Marcoux said.

After nearly 27 years as a building inspector and zoning
administrator for Lake Geneva, Barney Brugger is leaving.
Bruggers last city plan commission meeting was June
17. He had tendered his resignation two weeks earlier, but
will remain with the city for another 30 to 60 days to help
with inspections.
Brugger is a native of Lake Geneva.
He grew up here and graduated from
Badger High School.
He earned a degree in marketing
from the University of Wisconsin Osh-
kosh.
I looked for a job that had benets,
he said.
A relative gave him advance notice
that a vacancy might be opening up in
the citys building inspection ofce.
Brugger said he studied for and
earned his certication as a building
inspector. When the opening occurred,
he applied and was accepted.
A lot of motivation was in helping my hometown and I
want to make sure it looks nice, he said.
Despite all of the complaints about development, Brug-
ger said the citys character hasnt changed over the three
decades.
Its still the same town, he said.
True, Walmart, Target and Home Depot have located
here and are technically within the city limits, but Brugger
said the people dont perceive the city as starting until they
get past St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church.
And the city held the big box stores to some pretty strin-
gent development and building requirements.
I think weve got the best Walmart, Home Depot and
Target in the area as well, he said.
During his 26 years with the city, Brugger said hes seen
the plan commission and city council focus on quality of
construction and architectural appearance.
Thats a change from when he rst started as a building
inspector, he said.
Ordinances at the time didnt talk about aesthetics,
he said.
Those changes occurred around 1997, when the city
adopted a new zoning code, he said.
Leaving the city doesnt mean retirement, said Brugger.
He still does building inspections for Fontana and Genoa
City, but those jobs are very part time, he said.
Brugger said he plans to seek work in marketing, per-
haps with a construction company or developer.

Of particular interest was the PVC
piping.
As Dr. Robert Dillman explained, the
temporary piping is being set up to provide
dentists with water, vacuum and air. Dill-
man, a Lake Geneva dentist, is also the local
organizer for this years Mission of Mercy.
Before the end of the day Saturday, the
250 volunteer dentists and 1,200 volunteer
technicians, hygienists, laboratory techs
and general volunteers served upwards of
2,000 people in need of dental care.
Dr. Tom Raiman, a dentist from Hales
Corners and chairman of this years Mis-
sion of Mercy, said most Wisconsin dentists
began to realize there was a need for more
than just the charity cases they were taking
on.
Some dentists do free work for patients
who cant pay in their ofces, but thats
small scale. Something larger was needed,
Raiman said.
The Mission of Mercy program was going
on in surrounding states, and its attracted
the attention of Wisconsin dentists and the
Wisconsin Dental Association.
Wisconsins rst Mission of Mercy free
dental clinic was ve years ago.
The interior of the gym was divided into
departments.
n 21 chairs were devoted to hygiene and
cleanings.
n 10 were set aside for pediatric den-
tistry.
n 14 chairs were set aside for surgery,
mostly extractions.
n Nine chairs were in the numbing sec-
tion, where patients going into surgery and
llings got local anaesthetics.
n 43 chairs were set aside for those who
needed llings.
Sections were separated by pipe-and-
drape dividers.
Radiology was being set up in the weight
room next to the gym. Two large X-ray
scanners and three hand-held X-ray scan-
ners were used.
Cleanings, extractions and llings were
expected to be the major needs, said Dill-
man.
Support areas included a central supply
with instruments and medications, a labo-
ratory and a sterilization area.
Set up began at 7 a.m. Thursday, Carol
Weber, public relations director for the
WDA, said.
Tear down of the clinic was to be com-
pleted by 5 p.m. Sunday.
Americas Dentists Care Foundation
(ADCF) is the source and driving force
behind the annual Missions of Mercy in
Wisconsin and 29 other states.
Abby Arthur, executive director of
ADCF, headquartered in Witchita, Kan.,
said that ADCF handles the hardware for
the Missions of Mercy.
We provide the equipment through
the state dental associations, Arthur
said. ADCF provides the dental chairs and
instruments. Three semi-trailer trucks full
of equipment were available for the Lake
Geneva Mission of Mercy, Arthur said.
Lake Genevas free clinic was the sev-
enth in June for the ADCF, Arthur said. Two
weeks ago, the ADCF assisted with missions
in Georgia and Minnesota she said.
This year, 23 missions were scheduled
around the country, but June saw the larg-
est number of them, she said.
Dr. Laura Rammer, who has a dental
practice in Sheboygan, said this is her
fourth Mission.
She was in charge of the exit area. She
said her job will be to verify any prescrip-
tions for those who are leaving the treat-
ment area, clarifying instructions when
necessary, answering questions and help-
ing those who want to get back in line for
another procedure.
I know its a great project, Rammer
said. When it came to Sheboygan four
years ago, I felt it was time to participate.
In order to make sure that the mission
treats the most patients possible, each pro-
cedure requires a wait in line, said Dr. Gene
Shoemaker of Waukesha.
We want to guarantee that each patient
gets some treatment, he said.
Shoemaker said the free clinics have
become popular because people are more
aware of the importance of dental health,
and also because of the current economic
conditions that have left people without
jobs or adequate insurance.
Those on limited budgets tend to put
dental health on the back burner, Shoe-
maker said. When we see people who have
a small problem, we can take care of it, he
said. Unfortunately, some let small prob-
lems become large ones that are expensive
to treat, he said.
Volunteers turn gym into dental clinic
DR. CHRIS KAMMER and dental assistant Kelli Wallace of Madison work on a patient Friday
Kris S. of Shorewood, Ill., said she was there for two llings, although she was
there more as moral support for her boyfried, Paul, who also needed llings.
Kris said she works in retail, and doesnt have comprehensive dental insurance
through work. Her dental insurance will pay for only cleanings and X-rays. When it
comes to llings, shes on her own.
Kris said she has two children who are covered through a State of Illinois dental
care program for children. But she would have to pay $50 for her two llings.
The $100 could be better used for food and clothing for her kids, she said.
A.K. of Darien was not waiting outside.
He was one of the volunteers inside the Badger gym, helping to set up.
He has a beard, long, thinning hair and tattoos covering his arms. He looks like a
biker, and he is one.
A.K. said hes the chaplain of the Christian Motorcycle Association.
Im always willing to do anything to help the public, A.K. said, who started
unpacking chairs and setting up tables at the clinic starting 7:30 a.m. Thursday.
A.K. said hes hoping to get into the free clinic as well.
I had my teeth pulled years ago and I didnt know Id have trouble with dentures,
he said.
However, because of some complications, dentures didnt work. He recently priced
some dental implants for $5,500.
I dont have $5,500, A.K. said.
A.K., who still has some teeth, said he sometimes speaks at local churches, but
hes somewhat self-conscious about the teeth that are missing. Its also very difcult
for him to chew.
He said he hopes that the dentists will be able to help him at the free clinic.
It would be nice to have a smile like everyone else, A.K. said.
Dentist/Some patients saved $1,000s

The city wants to buy the advanced 911 system as soon
as possible, so that once AT&T decides to make the ser-
vice generally available, the city will be ready to accept
video and texts with 911 calls, Froggatt said.
An immediate benefit will be that the police and fire
departments will be able to share schematics of build-
ings where 911 calls originate.
The police department does dispatching for the fire
department.
But the fire department also has a system which calls
up a schematic of any building the firefighters will have
to enter.
The schematic also shows locations of entrances,
exits, fire hose connections and other pertinent infor-
mation, such as storage of flammables and hazardous
materials.
Froggatt said the new 911 system will allow the police
department to do the same.
Froggatt said it will be a benefit to officers to know
the layout of the building theyre going to.
If the scene is an apartment building, the map will
list the apartment numbers.
Looking at the actual 911 hardware can be a bit dis-
appointing.
Its just a simple box. And it wont change all that
much, once the improvements are completed, Froggatt
said.
However, the current system is dated. t was installed
for $100,000 in 1993 and updated in 1997, Froggatt
said.

Helen Jacobson, District Clerk
In true, 60s rioting fashion, police and police dogs
were also struck.
n A Viet Nam veteran, who was a Marine and Purple
Heart recipient, was beaten trying to stop the burning of an
American ag that had been torn from a agpole outside
the Riviera.
n Finally stymied in Lake
Geneva, the out-of-control revel-
ers took their party to Fontana
where they smashed windows
and looted a Blatz Beer truck.
n When they headed for Wil-
liams Bay they faced citizens,
police and re ghters armed
with sticks, clubs and rearms.
n When they headed for Delavan they found a road-
block and the National Guard. They calmed down, news
reports said, like children at recess. A couple hundred of
the rioters went to jail and the overow was herded to a
makeshift jail at the fairgrounds.
n All in all, the rioters were met with 600 guardsmen,
ries xed with bayonets, 125 police with orders to re
if necessary, and a machine gun. As the summary in the
book, Geneva Lakes Reections, notes, this could have
been Kent State before Kent State.
It was called The Summer of Love, but the summer
of 1967 was also the start of major anti-war protests across
the country. But beyond any idealism, it was also a party
time.
According to a radio report, there were signs in Florida
saying come to Lake Geneva.
The temperatures didnt help. It was in the high 80s
that July 4th, and the city was steaming.
The inux of youth and subsequent chaos couldnt have
been a complete surprise.
The previous July 4th, 10,000 youngsters came to
party in Lake Geneva. Street lamps were broken, bottles
were thrown, shrubs and signs were ripped out of the
ground. Cars were pushed from parking stalls and rolled
down streets, newspaper accounts said.
A crowd of more than 1,000 youths tried to break
through a police line. Three times they were repelled, but it
took a rain storm to disperse them. Police said they couldnt
have held back the multitude much longer. The story in the
Regional News said the city narrowly averted a full-scale
riot.
That full scale riot came to fruition 12 months later.
In an era when newspapers regularly held a dozen or
more stories on their front page, only one non-riot related
story made the front of the July 6, 1967, Regional News.
The headlines told the tale in a variety of ways:
Many Serve For City, headed a story about the many
local and area law enforcement ofcials who took part.
There were also volunteers who served without pay.
Mayor, Chief Meet With Knowles. Warren Knowles
was the governor at the time and the discussion was how
to stop future riots.
National Guard Wheels In.
And there was a front page editorial unusual in that
or any other era aptly titled Thats Enough.
The news wasnt all bad. A photo heralded a calm return
to civility. It was a photo of a ag raising - as opposed to
razing. The cutline read:
In a quiet, almost unnoticed ceremony Tuesday morn-
ing, 11 Marine veterans, all with Purple Hearts, replaced
an American Flag that was torn down and burned at the
Riviera during weekend rioting.
The publicity continued in subsequent editions of the
Regional News.
One story said most of the kids came from northern
Illinois. Only three of those arrested were local, the story
said.
An 18-year-old Rockford girl was called the ringleader
of the mobism.
District Attorney Robert Read said those arrested were
a mob of over-age brats.
A judge was quoted as saying You do not meet our
moral standards. You have shaggy manes and dirty clothes
and I wish you would not come here again.
A Lake Geneva riot committee was formed. In a
thoughtful editorial, the Regional News said the commit-
tee was ne but warned against it turning into a vigilante
group.A minister blamed local taverns for fueling the prob-
lem and implied city ofcials didnt want to touch them.
He took aim at newspaper ads promoting go-go girls
and said local authorities should ban such advertising.
Another minister said rioters quoted in TV interviews
blamed it on the broads, the beer, the freedom.
An editorial in the Chicago Tribune said Lake Geneva
had become a mecca for rowdies since it issued licenses
to establishments that cater to such persons.
Apparently, city fathers listened. The Aug. 3, Regional
News headline said: Go-Go Girls Gone! Council Bans
Dancing Performers.
But that wasnt the last word on how to deal with the
July 4th riots.
As July 4th 1968 neared, the city held its breath.
Geneva Plans For Disturbance While Hoping It Wont
Happen, the Regional News headlined the week before the
holiday.
Extra policemen were added for the holiday and a strat-
egy was developed, though the paper didnt get into much
detail. With preparations and the help of God we trust
that this year will be a hopeful sign for the future, an edi-
torial said.
After the fact, it was reported that the ofce of Chicago
Mayor Richard Daley had contacted those arrested in 1967
and told them theyd better be better citizens than they
were the year before.
Whatever the reason, the headline in the next paper
announced the results: Credit Blue Power For Quiet
Fourth. No vandalism. No injuries.
That week, an editorial said: Lake Geneva has now
rmly established its reputation as a city that wont toler-
ate law-breakers and rioters. It indicated the city needed
to remain vigilant so the July 4th debacle of 1967 wouldnt
be repeated.
Apparently, it did. The 1969 holiday was quiet.
And July 4th 1967 started to fade into history except
for those who were there.
Editors Note: If you have any memories of this event,
please email jhalverson@lakegenevanews.net.

fundraising activity of the society.
Teams of eight to 15 members gather with tents and
sleeping bags to participate in the largest fundraising
walk in the nation.
Relay For Life unites friends, families, businesses,
hospitals, schools and churches people from all walks
of life. Teams seek sponsorship prior to the relay, all with
the goal of supporting a cure for cancer.
Teams are encouraged to sign up early. By organiz-
ing early, teams have more time to raise money for the
American Cancer Society, Tribble said.

Consolo free from custody after posting $20,000 cash bond
Man charged with homicide after crash
ELKHORN A 24-year-old Wood-
stock man who is accused of driving drunk
and killing a passenger is free from custody
after posting a $20,000 cash bond.
Daniel P. Consolo has been charged
with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehi-
cle.
Consolo was reportedly driving a Jeep
on June 15 when it crashed into a tree.
Kevin G. Green, 21, of Wonder Lake, Ill.,
and Fontana died as a result of the acci-
dent.
Consolo faces up to 25 years imprison-
ment and $100,000 in nes.
On June 17, Consolo appeared in court
when the $20,000 bond was set, which
according to online
court records was
posted that day. Con-
solo is next due in court
July 31 for a preliminary
hearing.
According to the
criminal complaint:
At 7:46 a.m. Wal-
worth County Sheriffs
Deputies responded to
a report of a Jeep that
had crashed into a tree.
The deputy on the scene reported that
he saw several bottles of beer. Consolo was
found lying near the drivers side door of
the vehicle.
Consolo was transferred to Mercy Wal-
worth Hospital and Medical Center for a
fractured femur. Consolo told emergency
responders that he was the driver of the
vehicle.
At the accident scene, Green was treated
for his injuries. He later died of his injuries
at Froedtert Hospital, Wauwatosa.
A sheriffs department sergeant
reported that he could smell alcohol on
Consolo at the hospital. The sergeant also
reported that Consolo appeared to be
intoxicated.
On June 15, at 1:45 p.m., sheriffs depu-
ties went to Centegra Hospital in McHenry,
Ill. At Centegra, Ryan and Adam Szudarski,
two other passengers in the vehicle, were
being treated for injuries they received in
the crash.
Adam Szudarski told police that he,
Ryan Szudarski, Green and Consolo began
drinking in Illinois around 7 p.m. the pre-
vious day.
At around 5 or 6 a.m. they ran out of
alcohol and drove toward a residence in
Fontana. The group purchased more alco-
hol and continued to drink.
Adam Szudarski told police that Con-
solo was driving through elds and doing
donuts on lawns. The crash occurred when
Consolo went straight when he should have
turned, Adam Szudarski said.
After the crash, the Szudarskis left the
vehicle and were picked up by a friend.

Missing boy
returns home
By Jade Bolack
JBolack@lakegenevanews.net
WALWORTH After more than three months, a miss-
ing 15-year-old Walworth boy returned home June 26.
According to Rhonda Schwartz, police clerk, Daylan
Turner returned home on his own.
I can just tell you what I heard Chief (Chris Severt)
say, she said. He ran away on his own and returned on
his own. There wasnt any foul play. He got tired of being
gone, so he came home.
Daylan went missing March 16. He
turned 15 while he was gone.
Daylans mother, Tamra Elliott,
wrote letters to Daylan while he was
gone and posted them to her Facebook
page.
The most recent letter is dated June
21.
I miss my happy little guy, she
wrote. I miss those days more than you
could imagine, and I revisit my memo-
ries of you every day ... I want you to
know that whatever happens, whatever
you need and whenever you need to call
on me, I am still here for you.
Elliott wrote that she wasnt mad at Daylan, she just
wanted him to return home.
A mothers love never dies, she wrote. I will never
give up on you, son. I hope that somehow you are able to
nd a way to call home.
The Regional News contacted Elliott and she responded
that she had no comment.

Walworth prepares for 2013-14 budget
By Jade Bolack
WALWORTH I keep all these
numbers in my head, Karie Bourke said.
Maybe thats why I cant sleep some-
times.
Bourke, administrative assistant at
Walworth Elementary School, creates the
district budget with District Administra-
tor Pam Knorr.
Long before the budget is approved in
late October, the school is already operat-
ing using a draft budget on the scal year
that began July 1.
I just kind of know where were at,
what we can afford right now, Bourke said.
Theres not a lot of play with the budget.
We dont get many surprises, so were able
to operate before its approved.
Bourke said she keeps a running total
of the budget in her head, and its not that
difcult to create the outline of the dis-
trict budget.
I start with last years budget, she
said. I take the Department of Public
Instructions requirements. They set the
tax levy limit and the aid funding.
The largest part of the budget is pay-
roll and benets for district employees,
Bourke said.
At least 80 percent is salary and ben-
ets, then I have all the other bills that we
have to pay, she said. Theres not much
left after that.
The district has to plan for utility bills
and possible pay increases, but budgets are
similar from year to year, Bourke said.
A rst draft of the budget will be
reviewed at the July school board meet-
ing, and the budget will be updated each
month until October.
Bourke said each teacher receives
money to spend during the year for spe-
cial items.
Our elementary teachers get $200,
and our middle school teachers get $100,
she said. Unfortunately we cant give
them more. They have to submit a budget
for that money by April (of the previous
school year), but it doesnt need to be item-
ized. They can request to be reimbursed
for up to that amount for classroom items
throughout the year.
Teachers can also add to a district
wish list, items Bourke keeps in mind
when nishing the budget.
I look at what the board has priori-
tized and what the kids really need, she
said. Is this something that will make the
classroom better?
If the district cant afford an item,
Bourke looks for deals.
A large part of my time this time of
year is spent on looking for cost savings,
she said. I had a yer come across for
desks that are originally $50 apiece and
were on sale for $15. That we can handle.
We can afford a few more then.
Inside the school, teachers often switch
items among classrooms, she said.
We look at what teachers are using,
and if another teacher needs something
we switch around items, Bourke said.
For all those general ofce supplies,
she solicits bids.
Everything I do, Im looking to save
some money, Bourke said. I sent out
three bids for the general supplies for next
year.
State aid
Bourke said she has to submit budget
numbers to the DPI for review after the
budget is approved in October.
Theyre checking to make sure that
were using allowable accounts on bud-
geted items, Bourke said. Its from a
mechanical perspective, not a content per-
spective. They arent looking at what were
buying, just that money is going where its
supposed to go.
For example, Bourke said the district
cant use money from a debt service fund
to pay a heating bill.
We dont have a debt service fund any-
more, but thats an example, she said.
PLEASE SEE SCHOOL PAGE 3B
At least 80 percent is salary
and benets, then I have all the
other bills that we have to pay,
Administrative Assistant Karie
Bourke said. Theres not much left
after that.

Cycling event coming to Sharon July 17
By Jade Bolack
SHARON Though about 400 cyclists
are expected for the Wednesday, July 17
road race in and around the village of
Sharon, most of the day roads will remain
open to both vehicle and bicycle trafc.
Sharon Village President Diana Dyks-
tra said the village expects a lot of cyclists
because long-route races on open roads are
rare.
The village of Sharon (event) is the
only road race in the series, she said. The
difference is that the road race is longer. Its
difcult to get authorization for because
of trafc concerns. Here, though, we have
open, less-traveled roads that are great for
cyclists.
The Sharon race is part of the Prairie
State Cycling Series, which starts July 12
and holds events in Wisconsin and Illi-
nois.
Youll see people from all over the
world coming to the village of Sharon
because they want to ride in a road race,
Dykstra said. This is going to be a profes-
sional cycling event.
Racing starts at 9 a.m. July 17, with dif-
ferent categories of racers leaving at differ-
ent times throughout the day.
In the evening, racers will compete in
the criterium, a small course within the
village limits.
The criterium race is a high-paced,
one-hour closed course, Dykstra said.
Cyclists will be circling several times.
During this part of the race, a few roads
will be blocked off to vehicle trafc.
Dykstra said residents affected by the
road closures will be notied beforehand.
Its a Wednesday, which is an odd day
for an event, she said. It worked out well
to block off the roads.
All-day event
Dykstra said the series event handlers
expect each cyclist to bring at least another
person along to the event.
Were going to have things set up for
these spectators to do while they wait,
she said. We have vendors and a whole
expo area where well have food and vari-
ous stations where people can shop or see
things.
Dykstra said she expects village busi-
nesses to see the effect of all the visitors.
Its pretty exciting. We have a lot going
on, she said. The Lions Club will have a
corn and brat stand, and all of our restau-
rants are doing something special for the
day.
Along with the food, Dykstra said the
village has entertainment including the
Country Gentlemen, a barbershop musical
group, and a short race for kids.
At the end, theyll have awards for the
top nishers, she said. Were still looking
for volunteers to help and for sponsors for
parts of the race.
Cyclists also need a few volunteers to
act as host.
We have a need for some people to
host visitors that are coming from out of
the country, Dykstra said. We have three
or four people that are still looking for a
place.
Funding
It never quite works out the way you
planned the rst year, Dykstra said.
People genuinely wanted this race to
happen. We had the Lions Club in Sharon
step up and donate some money (to bring
the race to the village), and we had (private
individuals) donate money.
The original plan was to have local
businesses sponsor the event, but the vil-
lage wasnt able to secure the full amount
through those sponsorships.
The rst year will be a tough year to
break even, Dykstra said. Its something
we build on, and we want to do in the
future. We want to show people that were
serious about being a friendly cycling com-
munity.
After the road race, the village also
hosts the Rounda Manure Bike Tour, and
Dykstra hopes to bring cyclists back for
both events.
This race will showcase our route signs
and show that we have great open roads to
travel, anytime for recreation, she said.
We are the place they can come for that
resource.

We paid off our debt in last years budget. Our dis-
trict is proud of our balanced budget every year.
The DPI also ensures that state aid the school receives
is used in the right ways, Bourke said.
The aid is allocated for specific use, she said. We
get funding for special education, and that money cant
be used anywhere else. Most of the time, we dont have
enough aid for special education, so we use some of our
general funds. Thats allowed.
Like many of the districts bills, the state distrib-
utes aid and tax revenue in installments throughout the
year.
We know when the installments typically come,
Bourke said. So, we dont schedule big payments on bills
until after those payments come in. Most months are
budgeted the same. The amounts are pretty similar.
Except, Bourke said, for teacher salaries.
Theyre paid on a different basis based on their con-
tracts, she said.
Some are paid just during the school year, or through
the full 12 months of the year.
State payments come throughout the year so the
budget is not negatively effected by the delay.
We just anticipate what our funds will be and when
well get them, Bourke said. Its all a continuous pro-
cess.

Fontana looks at emergency services
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA Its a repeat from 2009,
but this time the village of Fontana is
determined to nd a solution to its emer-
gency service needs.
Currently, the village is served by a vol-
unteer rescue squad and a paid contract
through Paratech Ambulance Service.
From 2007 to 2009, Fontana met with
the village of Walworth to consider con-
tracting joint services for both villages.
In the last meeting minutes, dated July
28, 2009, members of the committee were
going to create an anonymous survey for
emergency service volunteers in both com-
munities.
The committee then had concerns about
the types of accidents that occur in the two
villages water accidents in Fontana and
farm accidents in Walworth and the
types of equipment needed.
Todd Watters, Walworth trustee on
the committee, said to create a 50-50 split
between the villages, one village had to pay
the other depending on which got the most
calls.
According to the minutes, Watters said
calls over the previous three years should
be averaged.
The second piece is fair value of equip-
ment that would be contributed to the
cause, he said. Value is considered a con-
tribution to the partnership. Add up the
economic impact of call differential and
equipment plus whatever sinking fund cash
there is. In order to form a 50-50 partner-
ship, one entity has to come up with a one
time payment.
Try again
In May 2013, the village protection
committee created a new ad hoc committee
to discuss the same thing it did in 2009.
This committee created will also meet
with Williams Bay to discuss mutual aid
with Williams Bay.
The protection committee didnt meet
in June, and it was set to discuss options
for mutual aid Monday, July 1.
Other options for full coverage in Fon-
tana besides mutual aid between Fontana,
Walworth and Williams Bay are full-time
contracts with Paratech or Metro, recruit-
ment and training of additional rescue
team members or creating a director of
public safety position.
Currently, the village of Walworth has
a full-time staffer on site during normal
business hours through Metro.
Fontana village trustees have expressed
concern over an all-volunteer rescue team.
Many of the volunteers work outside of the
village and arent available during many
emergency calls.
According to the May meeting minutes,
the option to create a directorship posi-
tion was not discussed in order to give the
newly created committee time to meet with
other municipalities.
Contract options
Three contract options for Paratech
service were offered in May at the Fontana
protection committee meeting.
To cover the village with two emergency
personnel for 12 hours a day would cost the
village $129,887 a year. For 10 hours a day,
the cost is $105,170.
To fully cover the village 24/7, the cost
is $352,853.
Currently, the villages contract with
Paratech is billed on individual calls. Parat-
ech is a backup to the volunteer rescue
squad 24/7.
However, Paratech isnt always avail-
able to come to Fontana on calls. They have
contracts with other municipalities in the
area. Each time a call to Paratech is can-
celled, the village pays $100 to Paratech,
not to exceed $500 a month.
Williams Bay
n Four 16-year-olds were cited for underage drinking
on June 21.
Police ofcers responded to a call for a noise com-
plaint, and both ofcers were able to see what appeared to
be minors inside a house in the village.
Two girls answered the door and told ofcers they
hadnt been drinking.
The ofcers asked to speak with anyone else in the resi-
dence. At rst, the girls said no one else was at the house.
Eventually, two boys were brought to the door and
spoke with police.
Both boys admitted to police they had been drinking.
Two of the four were from Woodstock, Ill.
n A 21-year-old Lake Geneva woman was cited for
rst-offense drunken driving June 21.
Mary Grace Sponholz came to the Williams Bay Police
Department to assist with another case.
The ofcers smelled alcohol on Sponholz and noticed
her slurred speech.
She failed three eld sobriety tests, and a preliminary
Breathalyzer showed her blood alcohol concentration was
0.213.
The legally allowed amount is 0.08.
Sponholz faces an additional citation of operation of a
vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration.
n A 35-year-old Williams Bay woman was cited for
rst-offense drunken driving on June 14.
An ofcer saw Margaret Robbins looking down at her
cell phone while driving.
The ofce followed Robbins in her vehicle and saw her
drive over the right-side fog line before correcting herself.
Robbins then drove over the center line.
Police stopped Robbins and smelled alcohol on her
breath. She failed three sobriety tests.
A preliminary Breathalyzer showed Robbins blood
alcohol concentration was 0.185.
n David and Warren Valley, Williams Bay, gave up
their dog after police ofcers found the dog unable to lift
its head.
Police responded to a call of animal neglect June 21.
The dog was treated by a vet for malnutrition.

Big Foot FFA participates in state convention
Big Foot FFA Chapter members not only learned
first-hand about agricultural livelihoods but also earned
$750 for their FFA program by participating in the third
annual FFA Monsanto Chapter Challenge during the
recent state convention.
Connecting students with local farmers has brought
to life for our members the impact agriculturists have on
our community, Lisa Konkel, Big Foot FFA advisor, said.
The connection between farmers and FFA members has
formed a new bridge that the FFA as a whole will con-
tinue to expand and develop for future projects and men-
toring opportunities.
New this year, Chapter Challenge offered FFA mem-
bers in 15 states two ways to participate. Chapters could
compete in the Voting Challenge or the Chapter Advo-
cacy Portfolio Challenge. In the Voting Challenge, mem-
bers met with local farmers to build relationships and
learn about their livelihoods. Those farmers then voted
for their favorite FFA chapter. The Chapter Advocacy
Portfolio Challenge encouraged chapters to meet with
agriculturalists and community members to broaden
their understanding about agriculture and then promote
what they learned by using social media and by creating
a video.
Monsanto is proud to partner with the National FFA
Foundation, Elizabeth Vancil, Monsanto customer advo-
cacy outreach manager, said. Together we are helping
local FFA chapters advocate for agriculture and create
bonds with the people who grow our food and build our
communities.

Walker signs 2-year, $70 billion budget
PLEASANT PRAIRIE (AP) Republi-
can Gov. Scott Walker signed a $70 billion,
two-year state budget Sunday that he said
invests in state education, residents and
infrastructure, but that Democrats com-
plained will mostly help the wealthy.
The budget approved by the Republi-
can-controlled Legislature includes all of
Walkers priorities, including a $650 mil-
lion income tax cut, expansion of private
school vouchers and changes to the states
Medicaid and food stamp programs.
Walker signed the budget in Pleas-
ant Prairie, on the border with Illinois,
and compared Wisconsin favorably with
its neighbor in terms of cutting taxes and
controlling spending. Those attending the
ceremony were treated to kringle from a
Racine bakery. The new budget makes the
Danish treat the states ofcial pastry.
Walker and Republican leaders who
attended the signing made much of its
nearly $1 billion in income and other
tax cuts. Rep. John Nygren, a Marinette
Republican and co-chair of the Legisla-
tures budget committee, said seeing the
tax cuts signed into law took some of the
sting out of Walkers vetoes.
Walker made 57 changes to the budget
using a veto power that allows him to cut
words from sentences to change their
meaning and remove individual digits to
create new numbers. His two most signi-
cant vetoes eliminated provisions creating
a bounty hunter program and kicking an
investigative journalism center off the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
Nygren and Republican Senate Major-
ity Leader Scott Fitzgerald, who also
attended the ceremony, described the
vetoes as unsurprising. Walker vetoed
similar bounty hunter legislation last year,
and Fitzgerald said many lawmakers had
questions about the journalism center pro-
vision after the budget committee added it
at the last minute.
Republican Attorney General J.B. Van
Hollen praised Walker for vetoing the
bounty hunter program, which had strong
opposition from those in law enforcement.
Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chris
Larson said the move eliminated the most
obvious example of corruption in this
budget, although he found many other
faults with the spending plan.
Andy Hall, executive director of the
Center for Investigative Journalism,
thanked Walker for the veto and said in
a statement that the center was using the
occasion to kick off a fundraising drive that
it hopes will raise more than $100,000 a
year to help pay for student internships.
The budget rejects the federal Medicaid
expansion, as Walker wanted, and reduces
income eligibility for the program in Wis-
consin to the federal poverty level. But, it
also removes caps on enrollment.
Going forward, everyone living in pov-
erty in this state will have access to health
care, Walker said.
He went on to say, however, that the
biggest, boldest reform in the budget was
new work requirements for people on food
stamps. Able-bodied adults must spend at
least 20 hours a week working or getting
trained for a job, or they will be limited to
three months of benets over three years.
Walker described this as a kindness.
We say its time to get the training,
and the access to training so that when a
job becomes available, you are ready to get
in the game, he said.
Democratic Assembly Minority Leader
Peter Barca, of Kenosha, described the
budget as one that fails the middle class
and includes what may be the worst deci-
sion made in our state in a generation a
health care plan that covers 85,000 fewer
people and costs taxpayers an additional
$120 million.
Van Hollen expressed satisfaction with
the budgets new DNA collection rules,
which he said fairly balances public safety
and privacy concerns.
Under the budget, police can collect
DNA from anyone arrested on suspicion
of a felony, although the material wont be
analyzed until a court determines there is
probable cause of their guilt.
Anyone convicted of any crime also
must provide their DNA. Previously, only
convicted felons and sex offenders had to
provide samples.
Chris Ahmuty, executive director of the
American Civil Liberties Union of Wiscon-
sin, said it doesnt make sense to collect
DNA for some felonies, such as waking a
bear, but he thought there would be time
before the provision went into effect to
make some changes.
I think the attorney general has over-
sold (the effectiveness of) DNA collection
upon arrest, he said.
School voucher opponents had won-
dered whether Walker would cut caps to
the statewide expansion, but the governor
didnt.
He did veto a budget amendment
that would have allowed existing voucher
schools in Milwaukee and Racine to accept
students eligible for the statewide expan-
sion without having them count toward the
cap.
Walker said he wanted to show my
word was good after agreeing to limit the
expansion to 500 students next year and
1,000 the year after that.
Republican Sen. Dale Schultz, who
voted against the budget, said he was
glad to see Walker honor the caps, but he
believed the voucher expansion coupled
with too-big tax cuts would lay a founda-
tion of instability for Wisconsin which will
resound across the country and around the
world.
The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal
Bureau has predicted the budget plan will
create a $505 million shortfall going into
the 2015-17 biennium, assuming state tax
revenues and expenditures dont change.
Such a shortfall is commonly referred to as
the states structural decit.

Republican reaction to
Walkers budget, veteos
PLEASANT PRAIRIE (AP) The co-chair of the Wis-
consin Legislatures Republican-controlled budget com-
mittee says hes happy with the state budget that Gov. Scott
Walker signed Sunday in Pleasant Prairie.
Republican Rep. John Nygren, of Marinette, says hes
not too worried about Walkers vetoes, including those that
got rid of provisions allowing bounty hunters in Wiscon-
sin and kicking the independent Center for Investigative
Journalism off of the University of Wisconsin-Madison
campus.
Nygren says committee members would have liked to
have everything they wanted, but that never happens.
He says the most important thing is that the budget
cuts taxes by nearly $1 billion. That includes a $650 mil-
lion income tax cut.
Nygren also says he hopes to see more tax cuts in the
future, particularly with property taxes, which he thinks
are still too high.
Democrats respond
KENOSHA (AP) Democratic Senate Minority Leader
Chris Larson says Republican Gov. Scott Walker provided
a marginal amount of moderation to an extreme Tea Party
budget with some of the vetoes he made to the spending
plan signed Sunday.
Larson says Walkers veto of a provision that would
have allowed bounty hunters, or bail bondsmen, in Wis-
consin for the rst time since 1979 may have eliminated
the most obvious example of corruption in this budget.
But Larson says there are other problems with the
budget, including the lowest per pupil spending increase
in 20 years.
The budget includes a $300 million spending increase
for public schools, but Democrats say that doesnt even
make up for all the cuts to public education in Walkers
previous budget.

Journalism center
keeps its ofce
MADISON (AP) The head of the Center for Investiga-

lican Gov. Scott Walker for vetoing a provision in the state
budget that would have kicked the center off the University
of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
Republican lawmakers placed the provision in the
state budget, but the Republican governor says he thinks
the centers relationship with the university is an issue for
the UW Systems Board of Regents.
Andy Hall is the centers executive director. He said
Sunday the center is celebrating the governors veto at the
same time it kicks off a fundraising drive to help pay for
its work.
MADISON Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is
praising Gov. Scott Walkers veto of a provision in the state
budget that would have allowed bounty hunters, or bail
bondsmen, to operate in Wisconsin.
Van Hollen said in a statement Sunday that Walker
listened to the concerns of those in law enforcement and
made the decision that our current system is not broken
and does not need to be xed by legislating bail bonds into
existence.
Bail bondsmen have not been allowed in Wisconsin
since 1979.
Van Hollen also says hes pleased to see Walker sign
into law a budget provision that will require police to col-
lect DNA from anyone arrested on suspicion of a felony.
The material wont be analyzed until a court determines
there is probable cause of the persons guilt.
Kringle now state pastry
PLEASANT PRAIRIE (AP) Kringle is being served
at Gov. Scott Walkers budget signing ceremony.
A provision in the two-year, $70 billion state budget
makes the kringle the ofcial state pastry.
The kringle being served at the ceremony in Pleasant
Prairie comes from Lehmanns Bakery in Racine.
Kringle is a ring of Danish pastry lled with fruit, nuts
or chocolate. It usually has icing on top.

WALWORTH COUNTY COURT REPORTS
Man sentenced for armed robberies
By Robert Ireland
RIreland@lakegenevanews.net
The gunman in an armed robbery spree
will be incarcerated until at least 2023
after Judge John Race sent him to prison
for another four years.
Terrance Cortez
Walker Jr., 26, of Elgin,
Ill., was connected to a
robbery group that was
responsible for between
20 and 30 armed rob-
beries in Lake and
McHenry County in Illi-
nois and Walworth and
Kenosha County.
I would like to apol-
ogize to all the people
I psychologically and
emotionally damaged,
Walker said. I hope that someday they can
potentially forgive me.
Walker was arrested in 2009 and was
responsible for armed robberies at the
Comfort Suites, Lake Geneva; Dominos
Pizza, Delavan; Citgo gas station, Wil-
liams Bay; Mobile gas station, Elkhorn and
the Lyons Shell Station. He pleaded guilty
to three armed robbery charges and two
other counts were dismissed but read into
the record.
In Illinois, Walker was given a 10-year
prison sentence, and is eligible for parole
next year. In Kenosha County, Walker was
sentenced to ve years of initial incarcera-
tion and eight years of extended supervi-
sion.
Judge John Race sentenced Walker
to four years in prison and to six years of
extended supervision.
The armed robbery spree lasted for
about three months, and prior to that
Walker had no criminal record, was a high
school graduate and was taking classes at a
technical school for culinary arts.
How does a man with no previous
criminal record go from classes at a tech-
nical college to being the gunman in armed
robberies?
That is because of the inuence and
impact of Michael Boyle, Walkers attor-
ney David Berman said.
Walker and others in the group have
pointed to Michael R. Boyle, 46, of Twin
Lakes, as the ringleader for the group.
Boyle is currently in custody awaiting trial
in Illinois, and he also faces felony armed
robbery charges in Kenosha and Walworth
County.
All the co-defendants have said
Michael Boyle was the leader to this, we all
followed Mike Boyle, Berman said.
Berman said Boyle acted like a father-
gure to Walker and others in the group.
Boyle said the young men in the group, one
who was only 15, grew up without fathers.
Sentence recommendations
Assistant District Attorney Zeke Wie-
denfeld asked Race to send Walker to prison
for seven years and have him on extended
supervision for another seven years.
Wiedenfeld said typically he would
have recommended a much longer sen-
tence, but Walker has already received
lengthy sentences in both Kenosha County
and Illinois.
These crimes have a long-lasting effect
on victims, Wiedenfeld said. These are
crimes where when the victim goes to sleep
at night, they see a man wearing a mask
pointing a gun at them.
Berman said Walker was facing a
unique situation because his crimes were
committed in four different jurisdictions,
in two different states. As a result, he has
faced four judges and four prosecutors.
Berman asked Race to sentence Walker
to ve years in prison and ve years of
extended supervision. However, he asked
that the sentence run concurrent with
the Kenosha County sentence. This would
allow Walker to be released from prison in
2019.
Other defendants
On June 25, 2009, Boyle was inter-
viewed by the Lake Villa, Ill., Police Depart-
ment. During that interview, Boyle said he
was involved in robberies with Walker.
Boyle told police he drove Walker to the
Comfort Suites, and said that Walker went
into the hotel and robbed it.
On June 30, 2009, a Kenosha police
detective interviewed Andrew Ballenger, of
Twin Lakes, who admitted to his involve-
ment in the Dominos robbery.
Ballenger said Boyle planned the rob-
beries, picked the locations and drove
to them. Ballenger told police that Boyle
would take part in the robberies or send
people to the locations.
After being found guilty at jury trial of
armed robbery, Ballenger was sentenced
on Oct. 19, 2011, to four years in a state
prison followed by six years of extended
supervision. Ballenger is appealing that
conviction.
Ballenger also has convictions for
armed robbery in Kenosha County.
According to the state Department of
Corrections website, Ballenger is sched-
uled to be released June 19, 2018.
On June 25, 2009, police interviewed
Tyler J. Trnovec, of Silver Lake, about the
robbery at the Elkhorn Mobil. Trnovec
told police he entered the gas station with
Walker and they both pointed pellet guns
at the clerk.
As Trnovec left he yelled GD Love.
Walker told police that Boyle told them to
yell this in an effort to throw police off and
make them think gang members carried
out the robberies.
Trnovec was 15 at the time of the rob-
bery but has been waived into adult court.
Trnovec pleaded guilty to a felony charge of
armed robbery and was sentenced to eight
years of probation.

was born in 2010, was
also allegedly molested
by Zabel. When being
interviewed by the
detective, Zabel told police about the sexual
assaults.
Victim 3, who was born in 2008, walked
in on Zabel while he was masturbating in
an unlocked bathroom.

JAKE RODRIGUEZ makes a diving catch during the College World Series. The former Brookwood student was recently drafted by the Houston Astros.
Genoa City legion sweeps Kenosha
By Mike Ramczyk
sports@lakegenevanews.net
GENOA CITY The Kenosha Mer-
chants Senior Legion baseball may have
been ranked No. 2 in the state in last weeks
rankings, but that didnt matter much to
Genoa City.
The Red Legs, ranked No. 7 in last
weeks Wisconsin American Legion Base-
ball Association Class AAA poll, knocked
off Kenosha June 27 and 28.
On June 28, Genoa City, now 8-5 over-
all, did it with pitching and defense at
Krisik Field.
Delavan-Dariens Bryce Davis earned
his second victory of the season on the
mound. He struck out ve and walked ve
while only allowing four hits in a 2-1 vic-
tory. Davis got out of jams in the second
and seventh innings and relied on his
defense throughout the night.
Davis improved his team-leading ERA
to 1.88.
Every time, Bryce got out of it by strik-
ing out the Merchants or one of his team-
mates made an outstanding play, said
Genoa City coach Gary Cukla.
In center eld, Colton Andresen made
a diving catch, which turned into a double
play.
Also, rst baseman James Alexander
made a tough play to end the game.
Its not easy defeating a state-ranked
team like Kenosha once in a season, let
alone back-to-back, Cukla said.
Andresen led off the game with a hit and
scored on an RBI single by Colin Barry. In
the fth inning, Genoa City scored its nal
run when Barry drove in Nick Van Kampen
with a hit. Van Kempen went 2-for-3 on the
night.
Andresen and Barry each collected two
hits in the game.
Barry leads the team with a .410 bat-
ting average. Andresen is hitting .364 with
11 runs scored.
Genoa City travels to the Mundelein,
Ill. tournament this weekend.
Genoa City 6, Kenosha 2
On June 27 in Kenosha, the Red Legs
got a big lead on Kenosha early.
Genoa City took a 6-0 lead in the rst
inning. Corey Crowders two-run single
scored Kyle Nixon and Andresen, who led
off the game with a walk. Then, Barry dou-
bled to plate Crowder, making it 3-0. Two
hits and two errors followed, and the Mer-
chants found themselves in a big hole.
Andresen went to work on the mound.
He dominated, allowing one earned run on
ve hits in complete game victory.
Bucks
suffer
weak
draft
Maybe John Hammond
has a trick up his sleeve.
Maybe the high-powered
Milwaukee Bucks execu-
tives know something the
public doesnt. Whatever
the deal is, last weeks
NBA Draft was another
reminder that the Bucks
franchise is in shambles
and isnt showing any signs
of recovering anytime
soon.
The Bucks, who face
the possibility of losing
star players Monta Ellis
and Brandon Jennings this
summer to free agency,
picked an 18-year-old
project and someone who
dominated inferior com-
petition when many fans
wanted proven players.
With the 15th over-
all pick, the Bucks took
Greece-born Nigerian
Yannis Antetokounmpo,
who at 6-foot-9 dominated
opponents in Greeces
second-tier league but still
only averaged 9.5 points a
game.
A rst-round draft
pick, and he couldnt even
score 10 points per game.
Antetokounmpo is a
mouthful to say, and we
may never pronounce his
name right, but we may
not have to anytime soon.
At just under 200
pounds, he is extremely
skinny and may not play
for a few years. He has
drawn some Kevin Durant
comparisons, and his ceil-
ing is high, but he will not
help the Bucks right away.
His ball-handling skills
and perimeter game are
solid, but the Bucks passed
up on NBA-ready guys
like Shane Larkin, Tim
Hardaway Jr. and Dennis
Schroeder.
To me, Antetokounmpo
is what Tobias Harris, who
was underutilized and
traded to Orlando, could
have been for the Bucks.
Harris was given a chance
with the Magic, and he is
tearing it up.
Genoa City native drafted by Astros, played in College World Series
Through tragedy comes triumph
By Mike Ramczyk
sports@lakegenevanews.net
GENOA CITY This past year has been a
bittersweet one for Jake Rodriguez.
The former Brookwood Middle School
student, who spent much of his childhood in
Genoa City, dealt with a tragedy on June 10,
2012.
That was the day Rodriguezs father Tony,
just 43, died from a blood clot, according to the
Oregonian. A couple days earlier, Jake visited
his father in a hospital in Elk Grove, Calif.
Jake thought his dad was recovering and
would be coming home the next day. Jake and
Tony went over Jakes goals for school and
baseball as Jake entered his final season with
the Oregon State University baseball team.
Exactly one year later, Rodriguez helped
clinch a trip to the college World Series for
the Beavers. Rodriguez, a senior catcher, had
recently been selected in the 19th round of the
Major League Baseball Draft by the
Houston Astros.
More than a year after
the passing of his dad, Jake
was on top of the baseball
world.
Rodriguez, who was
drafted to the major leagues in 2010 but
decided to go to Oregon State, continues to
honor the memory of his best friend.
My father passing away was extremely dif-
ficult for me and still is, Rodriguez said. He
was my best friend and was my guy. I talked to
him twice a day about everything.
The Regional News recently caught up with
Rodriguez to discuss his baseball journey and
his special relationship with his father.
Regional News: First off, what is your
connection to the Lake Geneva area?
Jake Rodriguez: I lived in Genoa City
and attended Brookwood from second grade
until eighth grade.
Other than that, my sisters attended Badger
and I played for the youth football lightweights,
middleweights and heavyweights.
RN: Where are you from? Where do
you live now, and do you plan on coming
back to the area?
JR: Originally, my family is from Chicago.
We moved to Wisconsin when I was 7 and then
when I was 14 we moved to Elk Grove, Calif. I
plan on living in Sacramento in the offseason
to do my training and baseball workouts.
RN: Were you surprised to be drafted
in 2010? Why didnt you sign?
JR: In 2010 I knew there might be an
opportunity but I was extremely happy for
the (Los Angeles) Angels and the opportunity
they gave me.
Oregon State allowed me to grow and
become a well-rounded person and baseball
player.
RN: When did the recruiting pro-
cess start with Oregon State? Who else
recruited you?
JR: I committed to OSU after my sopho-
more season at Elk Grove High School. I talked
to a few other PAC-12 schools but, being only a
sophomore, it was early to have made the deci-
sion.
I am no doubt pleased with my decision.
RN: Where were you selected in this
years MLB Draft? Were you excited to
be picked again?
JR: This season, I was selected in the 19th
round by the Houston Astros.
I was very excited that they have allowed
me to live my dream and continue my baseball
career.
RN: What is the next step in your
baseball journey? Will you report to
Houston soon?
JR: I have arrived in the New York-Penn
league (a minor league affiliate of the Astros).
This is where my road has begun with the
Astros organization.
RN: When did you start playing base-
ball? Why do you love it?
JR: I started to play baseball the moment
I could hold a ball and swing a bat. I learned
to love the game from my father.
He stuck the fire within me and it has con-
tinued ever since.
RN: How exciting was it to play in the
World Series?
JR: The College World Series was a dream
come true. Our team was well-deserving
and had played exceptionally well all season.
Unfortunately, we didnt win it all but it was a
experience I will never forget.

Lake Geneva
drops two
The Lake Geneva 17U
Post 24 legion baseball
team cant buy a victory.
On Sunday, the boys
dropped a close one to
DeForest, 7-6, but were
blown out by Dane County,
14-4.
The DeForest tilt was a
back-and-forth battle.
Post 24 fell behind early
and rallied to tie the score
and take the lead but could
not hold on for the victory.
When you have a
good inning and take the
lead, you have to keep the
momentum going on your
side and hold them, said
coach Rick Schiltz.
Tom Ritzman started
a three-run third inning
with a a double, and Derek
Denecke drove him in with
a single.
Donald Schnurer dou-
bled and Spencer Sheldon
singled to add two more
runs to tie the score at 3-3.
DeForest took the lead
with two runs in the bottom
half of the third. In the
fourth, Ritzman doubled
and Sheldon singled fol-
lowed by an RBI groundout
by Eric York to give Post 24
the lead. However, Defor-
est came up with two in
the fourth to win the game,
which was cancelled after
the fourth inning due to
rain.
Against Dane County,
three Lake Geneva errors
led to several big innings
for Dane County.
Dane County scored in
every inning but the second
in the blowout.
You cannot give them
extra outs and have our
pitchers throwing more
pitches than they need to,
Schiltz said.
This game could have
been a lot closer than it was.
We were in the game until
the fth. Not only errors
hurt us but not getting to
balls that we should be get-
ting for outs. In each of the
innings that they scored in
we had errors.
After falling in a 4-0
hole, singles by Kyle Bros-
sard and Spencer Shel-
don and a sacrice y by
Ryan Carlson cut the Dane
County lead to 4-2.
Down 6-2 in the fourth,
Post 24 came up with two
runs on doubles by Ritzman
and Wayne York to make it
6-4.
Dane County pulled
away with two in the fth
and four in the sixth.

That was Colton at his best, Cukla said.
He kept hitters off balance and looked good doing
it. They really only hit the ball hard twice against him
all night. Our defense was stellar, committing only
one error and turning two double plays.
Genoa City smashed 10 hits, led by Nixons two.
Levi Burnette added an RBI triple.
Janesville 8, Genoa City 5
The week started off with a solid comeback attempt
by the Red Legs.
In Janesville on June 26, Genoa City looked to
avenge an earlier loss to Janesville.
But thanks to four Red Legs errors, Janesville took
a 7-3 lead after four innings.
We had several key errors that allowed Janesville
to continue innings and score unearned runs, Cukla
said.
Genoa City cut the lead to 7-5 with two runs in the
sixth. Brendan Huber knocked in a run with an RBI
double, and Eric Kremers followed with another RBI
double.
But the Red Legs couldnt muster any more
offense.
We had too many mistakes, and we are just going
to have to clean them up soon, Cukla said.
Erik Nevoso went the distance on the mound for
Genoa City, allowing five earned runs on 10 hits.
The Red Legs committed seven errors.
Genoa City totaled five hits, led by Crowders two.
Andresen, Kremers and Van Kampen each tallied one
hit.

Meet Jake Rodriguez
Jake Rodriguezs college baseball team, Oregon State,
was eliminated from the College World Series June
21 with a 4-1 loss to Mississippi State, who lost in the
nals to UCLA. Oregon State went 2-2 in its rst CWS
appearance since winning back-to-back national titles
in 2006-07. The Beavers nished 52-13 overall.
For the season, Rodriguez hit .266 with 36 RBIs and
a .379 on-base percentage. But Rodriguez earns his
keep behind the plate. The 5-foot-8 powerhouse
threw out 60 percent of would-be base stealers. He is
quick and athletic, and can track down just about any
ball in his vicinity.
Heres more about Rodriguez:
Baseball is: more fun to play than to watch.
I was drafted by the Astros because: I hope to help
them to a World Series in the future.
Favorite movie: A River Runs Through It
Song: Fast Car, by Tracy Chapman
Food ritual: I enjoy steak before my games.
If you could have dinner with one person dead or
alive, who would it be and why? Derek Jeter, because
he inspires me to become a professional player. And I
enjoy what he does on and off the eld.
And dont even get me started on
second-round pick Nate Wolters. Mil-
waukee traded potential star Ricky
Ledo to Dallas for Wolters, who aver-
aged 22 points per game and was a
third-team all-American for South
Dakota State last year.
While Ledo has the talent and ath-
leticism to be a star someday, Wolters
has peaked.
Sure, he dominated in college,
but he was playing against the likes
of IUPUI, Northeastern Illinois and
Oakland.
In an NCAA tournament rst-
round matchup against Michigan,
athletic point guard Trey Burke shut
down Wolters, who only scored 10
points on 3-for-14 shooting.
However, there is no denying Wolt-
ers all-around ability. The 6-foot-4,
190-pound point guard scored 22
points per game, grabbed 5.6 rebounds
and dished 5.8 assists.
If Brandon Jennings and Monta
Ellis, both free agents, leave Milwau-
kee, I can see Wolters starting. But
what will happen when Wolters has to
defend players like Chris Paul, Deron
Williams and Derrick Rose? It wont
even be a contest.
Remember Jimmer Fredette? He
dominated college at a small school
and was drafted high.
He hasnt really done anything for
the Sacramento Kings, though. Wolt-
ers could have a similar fate.
Expect a rough time for Wolters in
his rookie season.
Bucks GM John Hammond said
Friday the team will do whatever it
takes to keep Jennings this season.
Jennings is a restricted free agent, so
the Bucks can match any offer from
another team.
Ellis already opted out of his con-
tract, so he most likely will be gone.
If I had a choice, I would keep
Ellis. While both are low-percent-
age, volume shooters, Ellis has more
size and is a better scorer. Jennings
immaturity and attitude are red ags,
and he clearly doesnt want to be in
Milwaukee.
The Bucks should say good rid-
dance to both players and start over.
Another theory for this weak
draft is the Bucks intentions for next
summer.
If the Bucks tank it this year, the
2014 NBA Draft is supposed to be
loaded.
With franchise studs like Andrew
Wiggins, Marcus Smart and Jabari
Parker potentially in next years lot-
tery, Milwaukee could be looking
ahead.
Currently, if Jennings, Ellis and
J.J. Redick leave, the Bucks may have
a starting lineup of Larry Sanders,
Ersan Ilyasova, Luc Richard Mbah a
Moute, John Henson and Wolters.
If Jennings stays, which Ham-
mond said is 100 percent likely,
switch Jennings with Henson.
This isnt a team that will compete
with the Heat, Pacers, Nets or even
Bulls in the Eastern Conference.
Herb Kohl needs to sell the team to
a basketball guru, and that guy needs
to build a new arena and revitalize a
struggling franchise.
Milwaukee better gure things
out fast, because the sad reality could
be an exodus to Seattle, and no true
Bucks fan wants that.

Blog for more state sports opinions
from Sports Editor Mike Ramczyk.
RN: Why do you
think your team made
it that far?
JR: Our team clicked
from day one of practice
in September. We never
stopped working and we
loved to play together and
for one another. It was a
great team and one I will
never forget. The whole
town of Corvallis, Ore.
really stood behind us and
helped us surge to Omaha.
RN: What did you do
to improve your game
since 2010?
JR: I think just learn-
ing how to play the game
mentally is where I grew as
a player. I think physically
I have grown stronger and
more flexible but have a lot
to work on.
RN: What are your
goals for the next
level?
JR: My goals are to
become a better player,
learn how the Houston
Astros run their system
and try and become the
best catcher and hitter I
can.
RN: Im sorry to hear
of your fathers pass-
ing. Take me through
that experience. What
did you learn from it?
JR: Baseball and my
dad are a huge part of my
life and although I still
play, I still feel as if that
part of me is missing and
it will always feel that way.
After he passed away I had
to become the man of the
house.
As I was away at school
or playing ball its tough,
but I just try and be the
best son I can for my mom
and put a smile on her face
and be the best brother I
can to my sisters and my
brother.
I have lived through
something I had hoped I
would never have to and as
difficult as it has been for
me and my family, I think
we are doing a good job of
finding happiness again
within each other. Really,
family is all you have and
I just want to be there for
my family.
RN: What kind of
relationship did you
have with your father?
How is he still with you
today?
JR: Every day I go to
the field and think about
my father, wishing he
was there watching me.
Unfortunately, he will not
be there but I know he is
watching from up above. I
can see him up in heaven
smiling down when good
things happen and getting
frustrated when I strug-
gle. I wouldnt want it any
other way.
My father will always
be a huge part of my life.
RN: What are you
majoring in? Are you
graduating soon?
JR: I majored in soci-
ology with a minor in
ethnic studies. I have one
year left.
RN: When did you
win a gold medal? How
amazing was that expe-
rience?
JR: The U.S. National
team was an experience
Ill never forget. I was 16
and played with some of
the best players in the
game today. I loved getting
the opportunity. Winning
the gold medal was really
the cherry on top. Cant say
enough about USA baseball
and the way they took care
of me and the team.
RN: What do you
hope to be doing in 5
years? 10 years?
JR: In the next five or
10 years I hope to be play-
ing baseball for the Astros.
By then I hope to improve
all my skills and give
myself a great chance to be
up in the big leagues.
It is a long road ahead,
but it is something I am
committed to. I am look-
ing forward to the journey.
RN: What advice
would you give young
baseball players who
want to make the big
leagues someday?
JR: I think the best
advice is to work as hard
as your body allows. Your
work ethic determines how
far you get. Enjoy playing
baseball. Enjoy your family
and thank your mom and
dad for everything they do
for you.
And just be the best
person you can to the
people around you and
success will come to you.

Dear W.C.,
I am a woman veteran
trying to get by. I was given a
less than honorable discharge
four years ago.
I was severely beaten and
sexually assaulted while sta-
tioned overseas by those I
considered my fellow soldiers.
We were sworn to defend our
fellow ofcers and here I was
hurt the most by the very per-
sons I thought would be there
to watch my back.
I found myself deeper and deeper in depression, as they
covered up the whole incident. I was told it would make the
military look bad. It was my assailants I wanted to bring to jus-
tice, not the entire military. Then to make things even worse
I found myself pregnant. When I brought all this to my com-
mander they did not believe me. I was questioned and treated
like the enemy for the next two months.
Then I was given the news that I was being less than hon-
orably discharged due to fraternization. After over three years
of service to my country I found myself unable to get a job or
benets.
Now I nd myself a single mother with a 4 year old and
still trying to nd full-time work. All the time I put into the
service still haunts me every day. Everyone looks at my record
and thinks I am at fault for my discharge.
The only people I trust in this world is myself and my beau-
tiful daughter. If there is one good thing that came out of all
this trauma it is my daughter. She is the light of my life. I worry
every day how I will be able to feed and shelter her. I have no
family to turn to.
My mother died years ago. My younger brother is serving
overseas. My daughter and I are struggling to pay this months
rent. I had to take my daughter to the emergency room because
she was very sick last month.
The bill was almost as much as two months rent. I have
read about your work online at the library and did not believe
there were good people in this world. I would like to believe
there are.
Veteran without benets
Dear Readers,
Sexual assault in the military is a problem.
A problem the military needs to face head on and protect
women who serve. I nd it very disturbing to think that our
women that volunteer to serve and defend our country nd
themselves not only unable to defend themselves, but even
having to ght alone against this injustice.
I met this woman in a public place as she was understand-
ably uncomfortable with meeting in her home
setting. We met at a park where she could watch
her daughter play while we talked and there were
other people nearby.
I introduced myself to the mother and daugh-
ter. The mother shook my hand and said, Nice
to meet you sir. The daughter hid shyly behind her mother.
I assumed she did not meet many strangers after reading the
mothers letter and understanding her caution. The mother
and I stood by the playground as the daughter played with sev-
eral other children at the park.
I could tell the mother felt awkward as she stood quietly
watching her daughter. I began to tell her about The Time Is
Now to Help and how our mission works. I told her about how
all of you make the assistance possible to the many strug-
gling senior citizens, handicapped, single mothers, children,
working poor families and veterans we help each year.
She listened and then asked if we had ever helped a woman
veteran that was discharged before?
I honestly told her I did not believe we have. I told her we
helped many civilians and veterans that had suffered injuries
and illness. She looked very troubled and said she felt she had
been injured both physically and psychologically due to the
loss of trust and camaraderie she felt she had with her fellow
soldiers.
No one had stood up for her defense. They had all remained
hush hush about her brutal rape. After the rape she had been
subjected to constant harassment. We talked for almost two
hours.
At the conclusion she said, Thank you for listening.
No one has listened to the hurt I am going through. I live in
fear of being homeless. I am a mother and I take my love and
responsibility of caring for my daughter very
seriously. But no one gives me a chance. She
started to cry.
I asked her what we could do to help her
now and going forward. She said, All I really
want to be able to do is have a job that sup-
ports my daughter and myself. I do not want to be ghting for
welfare.
Im not an angry man, but
I felt angry when I was writing
a story last week.
Its the front page feature
about the riot in Lake Geneva
on July 4, 1967.
Those punks, I thought.
Tearing down statues. Beating
up a Marine. Damaging prop-
erty.
Then I thought back to my
own days on the edge of civil
disobedience.
I was 20 back in 1967, about the age of
many of the Lake Geneva rioters.
I was living in sheltered Sheboygan, Wis.,
where the anti-war movement was still a
West Coast kind of thing. Most of us looked
clean-cut, more like Pat Boone than the long
hairs who made up the Chicago Seven.
But a few years later, everything had
changed.
I was attending college in Oshkosh and
fell in with those identifying themselves as
part of the counterculture.
They were fun and intellectual and noth-
ing like the buttoned-down friends I grew
up with. I was on the college newspaper and
that engaged me with members of the rebel-
lious elite. I was proud to be among them
albeit always as more of an observer than
a participant.
One of my roommates
was a self-avowed disciple of
Trotsky, an early communist.
Another had his entire room,
wall to wall, painted black.
It was said hed been stoned
since his freshman year.
Another roommate was a
member of the Vietnam Vet-
erans Against the War. (Now
hes a Republican living in a
retirement community).
It was a heady time and my friends talked
seriously about The Revolution, when hip-
pies would take over the world and, I guess,
wed all have peace and love.
It is my fate to always be the conservative
in a group of liberals and the liberal in any
group of conservatives and it was no differ-
ent then.
I was to the right of my hippie friends, but
still quite a bit left of mainstream America.
It was during those days that I attended
two events.
One was the May Day peace march to
Washington in the spring of 1971.
The other was camping out in Flamingo
Park in Miami, protesting during the 1972
Republican convention.
They were billed as anti-war events. For
some that may have been true, but for most
of us it was an excuse to have a party.
A lot happened between 1971 and 1972
that sobered me up.
When we marched on Washington, it was
the last vestiges of the peace and love move-
ment.
The music was still about wearing ow-
ers in your hair and Groovin. During that
Washington March, we watched Country
Joe and the Fish perform in front of the
Washington Memorial, the reecting pool
linking it with the Lincoln Memorial was
gently streaming before us. Everything still
seemed to be pristine and fun. Wholesome in
a slightly edgy way.
A short year later everything had dark-
ened.
Camping out at
Flamingo Park in
1972 was like living
in a slum. The drugs
were hard. The talk,
gibberish. The ground
was muddy. Those
around me looked
homeless even though most came from nice
middle-class homes. The idealistic hippies
were replaced by the Zippies and the Yippies
whose only goal was hedonism.
Everyone complained about actress-
turned-war-protester Jane Fonda (aka Hanoi
Jane) being uppity because she was in a hotel
room instead of down with the masses. At
that moment at least, she was just (a little bit)
smarter than the rest of us.
The freshness that I felt in 1971 was gone,
replaced by sloth, stupidity and disrespect.
For me, my slide into cynicism about
the movement came at the end of that 1971
march. A group of us passed a man in uni-
form. My friends started harassing the
soldier, calling him part of the war machine,
when he was just a man doing his duty.
I felt sick hearing their comments. Sicker
still that I was silent.
I should have stood up for what was
obviously right the idea that despite our
political differences we ought to be able to
treat others as fellow
human beings, as
awed and interest-
ing as we all are.
Whether we were
on the right side of
the war or not, the
man my brethren
were bombarding with insults had a lot more
backbone than the rest of us. Fighting a war
is a lot harder than partying.

OPENING AGAIN! By the time you read this, the VFW
hot dog stand in Lake Geneva is expected to be open for
business again. Normally, the stand is open earlier, which
made some people wonder if it would open at all. Not to
worry. A sign outside said it will be open some time this
week and that was conrmed by someone inside who was
getting it ready for business. Last summer the hot dog stand
was the subject of some controversy. We expect this will be
the last time we use the word controversy and hot dog in
the same sentence. Were glad to see one of Lake Genevas
landmarks back in business again.

on fundraiser
To the Editor:
The Oscar Meyer Wienermobile pulled into the Geneva Square
parking lot and you could see everyones eyes light up both adults
and children.
WLKG was on the scene playing music, interviewing the Stein-
brinks and those of us from the Lake Geneva Food Pantry.
Children had their pictures taken in a hot dog bun!
Whistles were passed out and the adults reminisced about the old
days. You could hear people singing the Oscar Meyer song.
Sally Roth, Linda Vavra, Lynn Wesolek and myself sold close to
500 hot dogs.
Dave Steinbrink, Mike and Brad were grilling the hot dogs. At times
they had trouble keeping up.
The weather was perfect, the music was playing, it was a very fes-
tive afternoon.
I would like to thank the Steinbrinks and all who worked and
donated the hot dogs, buns, soda and chips.
This was a great fundraiser for the Lake Geneva Food Pantry.
Donations to the pantry are not as plentiful during the summer
months. Our clients need our help January through December. Mon-
etary and food donations are very much appreciated.
Our hours are 9 to 11:30 a.m., Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We
are located at the First Congregational United Church of Christ, 715
Wisconsin St., Lake Geneva, on the lower level. The phone number is
(262) 248-2337.
Thank you again to all.

To the Editor:
I loved your article in the latest edition in Community and Com-
mentary (section D). It spoke to me loud and clear and echoed some-
thing I have been feeling.
My daughter has owned a local business for nine years, so perhaps
I do look at things from that perspective. Shop-owners were hit hard
this winter because of bad weather. The snow kept many from ven-
turing far, and yes, the snow birds leave so that does have an impact,
too. But still, we could not help saying, Where are the locals? Help!
Your article addressed an issue in a way that I hope will hit home;
it wondered how to entice the locals back downtown. I should think
as locals we would want to shop downtown, at least from time to time,
and feel darn good about it! We shouldnt need to be enticed, tricked
or lled full of coupons to want to shop small and local. It should be
part of our local spirit. The grass is not always greener on the other
side.
Furthermore, the tourists are not the enemy! They are what
keeps all of us lucky lake dwellers able to stay living where we do, and
how we do, in this beautiful, safe, pristine environment. When I hear
people grumble about how they take over our town, I want to say,
what would it be like around here if they didnt? We need to adjust our
attitude regarding tourism and say, Hip-hip hooray for the tourists!
And locals, if it is truly your town, then once in a while, put your
money where your mouth is and support and connect with your local
small merchants. Check out a new business you have never been in
before, its actually a lot of fun!
Shop-owners, you too need to support your neighbors. Go check
each other out and make it a habit to visit regularly. I look forward to
meeting you! I have heard from tourists about going into a shop and
not having the staff even look up or greet them with a Hello.Thats
ridiculous and we all know it is also rude. Making someone feel wel-
come and giving them that personal service and attention is what
puts folks at ease and allows them to shop and hopefully return. Even
when youre feeling desperate and fed up, its all about attitude suck
it up and smile, it might make a big difference. Your article said tour-
ists dont come here for things they can get at home is spot on and so
true; customer service can be your unique product.
Every year it is hard to see both new and old businesses closing.
We all have to take some responsibility for that. We are all in this
together around this lake that we love and we need to make more
of an effort to show it. You mention the box stores in your article; yes,
we all shop them, and yes, we even need them, but not to the exclu-
sion of all the little guys struggling around us. I guarantee you the
box stores are not struggling. When you put your money into small,
local business it comes back to support everyone, and it makes you
feel good!
We need to embrace our very unique and special environment.
Isnt that why we live here?

To the Editor:
After reading the article titled, History of the Greeks in Lake
Geneva that my grandfather set in front of me Thursday evening, I
became excited to read a little of my familys history in Lake Geneva.
Peter Pappas really made a mark on this town and helped form the
community as a bustling location for tourism. As I read the article, I
saw the names of many familiar family, friends and fellow Greeks I
know from town.
Having lived here my entire life, I know many names and faces of
the Greek families in the area and, while my name may slip their mem-
ories, my grandfather is known by all of them. It seems impossible to
me that the historian who wrote the article never had any knowledge
of the son of the patriarch of the Greek community in Lake Geneva.
Therefore, I would like to amend the article written by Patrick
Quinn to include my grandfather, John Peter Pappas. John is Peter
and Georgia Pappass son and older brother to Angie. The fact that he
was clearly omitted from the article is not only tragic but overall disap-
pointing.
John, who can be seen daily walking downtown laughing an infec-
tious laugh, was born in 1930 to Peter and Georgia Pappas. He served

his country in the U.S. Army during the Korean war and came home to
own the International Cafe on the 100 block of Broad Street, formerly
Georgias International Cafe. The building is still owned by John today
and is now a retail business owned by his daughter, Joanne. His sons,
Peter and Sam, own two other prosperous businesses in town, thus
resulting in the single largest Greek family presence downtown Lake
Geneva.
Another important Greek omitted from the article was a cousin,
Peter Tyke Pappas. This Peter owned the St. Moritz (now Baker
House), Meridian Hotel (now Bella Vista Suites) and developed the
Wrightwood Condominium Association.
While I could go on and on with stories and historical facts, I will
keep it short. I simply felt it only appropriate that a man as wonderful
and kindhearted as my grandfather was not omitted from our local his-
tory.
Thank you,

Preparing the story on the 67 riots in
Lake Geneva made me wonder how many
of those rioters grew up to be productive
members of society. How many regret their
actions? How many knew they were at least
partly wrong at the time?
How many knew at the time, as I did,
that the true idealists among us were few?
Truth be told, most of us were doing our
thing because it was fun being part of a
group and one of the benets was being
able to have a good time under the guise of
idealism.
Unlike the rioters in Lake Geneva, I
didnt damage property or take part in
hurting anyone.
For me, the early 70s was a time of
learning. I dont regret going through it
(though I do regret not speaking up when I
could have). There was an excitement I cant
deny. An idealism about life itself. And a lot
of good music.
But here we are, four decades later.
As we near another Independence Day,
Im thankful that I live in a country that
allowed me my youthful exuberance, tol-
erated my ignorance, ignored my indiscre-
tions.
I wonder how many of the rest of us
have a similar story.

Photo ID law in news again
MADISON, Wis. (AP) The League
of Women Voters wants the Wisconsin
Supreme Court to review an appellate
decision that found the states voter photo
identification law is constitutional.
The leagues attorneys filed a petition
Friday asking the court to take the case.
Three of the courts seven justices must
vote to accept it. Its unclear when that
vote might happen.
The league filed a lawsuit in October
2011 arguing the law creates an addi-
tional qualification for voters not con-
tained in the Wisconsin Constitution
and imposes such a burden it essentially
denies people the right to vote. A Dane
County judge found the requirements
unconstitutional in 2012 but the 4th Dis-
trict Court of Appeals reversed him in
May.
An injunction blocking the photo ID
mandate in a separate challenge remains
in place.
Rain keeping mosquitoes at bay
MADISON, Wis. (AP) It might
seem counterintuitive, but the constant
rain across southern Wisconsin has kept
this years mosquito crop at bay.
The storms have f looded roads,
soaked basements and shredded Little
League schedules. But instead of a
bumper crop of mosquitoes, the Wiscon-
sin State Journal reported, the repeated
soakings keep washing away the stag-
nant water that the blood-suckers need
to breed and mature. Thats kept their
numbers at tolerable levels.
There are years when we get so much
rain that we literally f lush them out of
their typical breeding sites, University
of Wisconsin-Madison entomologist Phil
Pellitteri told the newspaper. You need
10 to 12 days of standing water to push
mosquitoes in the summer. If you get
excess amounts of rain, you f lush them
out and they never get going.
Last summers drought may have
played a role in slowing this years crop,
too, he said. Mosquitoes had little or no
standing water in which to lay eggs, he
said.
Sex abuse records out
MILWAUKEE (AP) The Archdio-
cese of Milwaukee released thousands of
pages of documents related to clergy sex
abuse Monday, including the personnel
files of more than three dozen priests and
the depositions of church leaders includ-
ing New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan,
the former archbishop of Milwaukee.
The documents were made public as
part of a deal reached in federal bank-
ruptcy court between the archdiocese
and victims suing it for fraud. Victims
say the archdiocese transferred problem
priests to new churches without warn-
ing parishioners and covered up priests
crimes for decades. Many pushed for the
documents release in the belief that it
would be an important part of their heal-
ing.
The collection also has drawn interest
because of the involvement of Dolan, the
president of the U.S. Conference of Cath-
olic Bishops and the nations most prom-
inent Roman Catholic official. Dolan has
not been accused of transferring prob-
lem priests. He took over as archbishop
in mid-2002, after many victims had
already come forward. But there have
been questions about his response to the
crisis, including payments made to abu-
sive priests when they left the church.
The archdiocese has characterized
the money, as much as $20,000 in some
cases, as a kind of severance pay meant
to help priests transition out of the min-
istry. Similar amounts were made to
men leaving the priesthood long before
allegations of sexual abuse surfaced in
the Catholic church, spokeswoman Julie
Wolf said last year, when the payments
came to light.
Jerry Topczewski, chief of staff for
Archbishop Jerome Listecki, has esti-
mated the files total 6,000 pages.

4D The Regional News July 4, 2013
Just because the meal
may be served outdoors does
not mean the meat has to be
cooked on the grill. These reci-
pes for hot sandwiches might give the usual grillmeister some
time off, able to sit with those who have gathered for the meal.
Most of the dishes can be prepared a day or two ahead and
heated when ready to serve. Plenty of cold beverages and gen-
erous napkins are musts for these meals.
Oven Barbecue Ground Beef was a recipe submitted to the
Regional News when each recipe column had two recipes from
one cook, including their picture. The meat browns in the oven
in a roasting pan and is drained when done, saving the broth.
Celery, green pepper, pickle relish, Worcestershire and chili
sauces, vinegar and brown sugar are added and everything
continues to cook in the oven to blend avors. As it starts with
six pounds of ground beef, it does make a lot of sandwiches.
Potato salad and chips are traditional to serve with it.
Cooked turkey is the rst thing called for in Hot Turkey
Bun Filling. Mayonnaise, chopped pepper, onion and celery
are stirred in, then Velveeta cheese and cream of mushroom
soup. It only needs to cook about 45 minutes, ready to serve in
buns with two or three salads and dessert.
Down South Barbecue prepares pork in the form of a
fresh ham in a two-step process. It cooks in a slow cooker with
onion, cloves and water, for eight to 12 hours on low, working
well overnight, ready to nish early in the day. It comes out of
the cooker and any bones and fat are removed. It cooks again
for ve to eight hours with a large chopped onion and bottled
barbecue sauce of choice. Shred it in the cooker, using two
forks, and serve it with a slotted spoon on sturdy buns. Put out
coleslaw and corn chips to go with it and watch it get eaten up.
Six pounds of beef roast is the beginning of the recipe for
Hot Roast Beef Slices. The meat is roasted with spices, sliced
onion, carrot and water about three-and-a-half hours; every-
thing is refrigerated in the pan overnight. The meat is sliced
very thin, then carefully, with no splashing, the meat slices
are placed into the reheated broth, covered and heated in oven
until very hot all through. Serve on buns or French bread.
Pasta salad, fresh fruit and ice cream would make the rest of a
great meal.

Our commercial came out great and the production was fun
and easy.

I know I am capable of supporting myself, even without the
education and healthcare I was promised when I signed up in
the military. I had listened to my father lecture me my whole
life on my American duty to defend my country. Now I have
neither my father or my country willing to help me. I have to
help myself.
I was glad to see she had a ghting spirit still in her. I was
worried it had been beaten out of her by the very people that
should have had her back.
The mother told me about her overdue rent and several
other smaller bills she was unable to pay. I offered to bring her
rent up to date. I also asked what job skills she had. She had
received training in IT and computers but was willing to try
any full-time job I suggested. I had a job in mind that a friend
had brought to my attention. It involved some ofce work and
computer skills. I asked if she was organized and punctual as
that was the main criteria my friend said they needed in an
employee.
She almost smiled as she said, That was the best things I
learned from the military. They do not tolerate disorganization
or tardiness. I asked when she would like to start and she said,
Right now. I could see the desperation on her face.
I called the friend that had offered the job and had the
woman speak with him. They set up a time to meet at his ofce
during business hours the following day.
He said it would be ne to bring her daughter along as they
had an area for children to play in. When the mother nished
the call she said, I cant believe how hard I have tried to get
a job but no one would give me a chance with my military
record. Now with just one phone call from you I have a job
interview the next day. I am in shock that The Time Is Now to
Help is doing all this for me. I asked if she had ofce attire for
her interview. She admitted she may need some ofce-suitable
clothing. We provided a gift card to pick out what she needed.
I called the next day to see how her interview went. She
was very excited to tell me she had been given the job. She had
already arranged for child care for her daughter. She thanked
all of us for giving her what she needed to be self-reliant. She
also said thank you for believing in her and not questioning her
moral character. I told her I believed in her and all I wanted to
do was put her past behind her so she could look forward to her
future with her beautiful daughter.
This woman was and is so grateful. She went on and on
about how thankful she is to all of you. She concluded with,
Our country needs to nurture the basic foundations like The
Time Is Now to Help. We need to take care of each other. God
bless all of you for helping.
Health and Happiness,
God Bless Everyone,

Chris Anns Resale Shop
I will continue to ask Chris Anns Resale shop for furniture
and household necessities to help our poverty stricken fellow
Americans. The poverty stricken we help are hidden away.
Some are hard to nd, but I make it a point to nd them and
make a difference.
Many years ago I helped Love, Inc. in Burlington start up.
Now Chris Anns needs our help. Chris Ann was a cleaning lady
with a big heart, never saying no to The Time Is Now to Helps
requests. Now she is trying to make the resale shop a success.
That success in turn allows Time Is Now to pull from the inven-
tory to provide much needed household items for those living
without.
I am forever using Chris Anns as a holding area to take, yes
take, anything and everything for the poverty stricken. Chris
Ann has rent, utilities and other expenses she needs to pay
to keep open. Please stop by and spend a few dollars. Every-
thing is a bargain. Your purchases will continue to help us help
others. Thank you for taking the time to make Chris Anns a
regular visit and please tell all your friends.
If you have anything you would like to donate please call
(262) 348-9088. They are located at 406 Hwy. 120 North, Lake
Geneva, in the old Floor Store building across from the Next
Door Pub. Look for the American ags.
Desperately need cars
Please donate a used car to help our fellow Americans get
to work and other daily necessities.
