Lawsuit led in Brown shooting

Suit claims deputies denied Lyons man his rights
By Chris Schultz cschultz@lakegenevanews.net LYONS A wrongful death lawsuit has been led in U.S. District Court, Milwaukee, in connection with the shooting last year of John Brown, 22, by a Walworth County Sheriffs deputy in the town of Lyons. The complaint alleges Brown was denied his Constitutional rights as a citizen when he was shot and killed. Nancy Brown, John Browns mother, who is also listed as special administrator for her sons estate, was listed as the plaintiff. Listed as defendants are deputies Wayne Blanchard and Christopher Such and Walworth County. The fatal incident occurred during the early morning hours of May 5 at the home of Nancy and John Brown, 1463 Meadow Lane, in Country Estates Mobile Home Park, town of Lyons. According to the ofcial police report, Brown was shot while advancing on deputies Blanchard and Such with a knife. After reviewing a state Department of Criminal Investigation report about the incident, the Walworth County District Attorneys Ofce ruled the shooting justiable.Sheriff David Graves said he would not speak about the lawsuit. The DCI investigated and it was reviewed by the district attorney, Graves said on Monday. However, the lawsuit alleges that Blanchard red his weapon immediately after kicking the door open a second time while Brown was standing motionless in the center of his room. The court document also indicates that another sheriffs deputy, Joshua Adams, informed the two deputies on the scene that he would be arriving with less than lethal equipment to help handle the situation. Accounts differ In police accounts, Blanchard shot Brown twice after Brown approached him brandishing a knife.

A moment to remember

Friends still have hope for theater plans

By Chris Schultz cschultz@lakegenevanews.net Friends of Geneva Theater plan to meet with the new owners of the Geneva Theater to talk about the venerable buildings future. Ken Etten, who chairs the Friends group, said the meeting will be in his Lake Geneva ofce on Friday, June 7. We understand that he (William Jachimek) bought the building as an investment, Etten said in a recent interview. He said the Friends want to show the Jachimeks the tenants and renters of the proposed cultural center would bring in. He said the Friends also want to encourage the new owners to renovate the old building. William and Kathy Jachimek of Phoenix, bought the 85-year-old Geneva Theater on April 1 for $670,000, according to the deed recorded with Walworth County. William Jachimek also told the Regional News that the family has since bought a second home in the Lake Geneva area. Etten said hes been talking with a friend of the family who lives in the area and is acting as agent for the Jachimeks.

Owners resort to court to settle hotel woes

By Chris Schultz cschultz@lakegenevanews.net Three high-prole luxury condominium hotels in Lake Geneva and Delavan are now embroiled in lawsuits involving money and management. The bad economy, questionable business decisions and bad blood between room owners and their own association boards of directors have landed The Cove on Geneva Lake and Bella Vista Suites of Lake Geneva and Lake Lawn Resort, Delavan, in Walworth County Circuit Court. Bella Vista has taken its board of directors to court over alleged violations of duciary responsibility, while Lake Lawn room owners are suing over rules that grant ownership of hotel commercial condos more representation on their board of directors than ownership of hotel rooms. At Lake Lawn, each of four commercial condominiums within the hotel receive one seat each on the condo-owners board of directors. The remaining 222 hotel rooms are represented by three members on the seven-member board. The balance of the boards membership between commercial and hotel room owners is being questioned. At Bella Vista, the board of directors agreed to buy an in-house commercial property that was owned by the former president of that same board of directors. Other owners are questioning the amount paid on the commercial property and whether current and former members of the board of directors are taking advantage of the sale at the expense of other owners. The Coves case involves an allegation of unpaid loans and is now in receivership, But those loans also involve special assessments made on the room owners. The Coves room owners have already made a major change in membership of their associations board of directors, and it has replaced its management company of more than 20 years, Geneva Hospitality LLC, with a new manager. In a condo-tel, individuals own the rooms as personal and investment property. A company may own the main structure. Daily operations are handled by a management company.

Contempt may not mean jail

Attorney says immunity may be price for testimony
By Chris Schultz cschultz@lakegenevanews.net ELKHORN Chandra Webster probably wont have to face jail time on a contempt of court charge for some time if at all. Webster was an ofcer of Geneva Hospitality LLC, the company that managed The Cove of Lake Geneva, 111 Center St., Lake Geneva, for nearly 20 years. The company was replaced as the hotel manager last year as part of legal actions taken by PNC Bank of Lake Geneva. David C. Williams, attorney for Geneva Hospitality LLC, the company Webster served as a chief nancial ofcer, said neither he nor Websters attorney, Jerome Buting, Brookeld, have received an order specifying what is demanded of Webster so she can satisfy the court and avoid jail time. Williams said his client, Geneva Hospitality and its ofcers, are asking for immunity before answering any questions. We have the right to know what it is they want from us, Williams said. He said he doesnt have the order yet. At a court hearing on May 16, Judge John Race gave Webster a week to produce the required documents, or he will seriously consider the request by the hotels receiver, attorney Michael Polsky, that Webster serve time for contempt. Williams said he interprets the judges order as: We have a week after that order to comply. And if any party on the suit drafts an order, another party has ve days to object to that order, he added. PNC Bank asked Walworth County Circuit Court to place the hotel in receivership. PNC holds substantial loans and mortgages at the hotel. PNC wants an accounting of a $1.65 million loan made to the Cove in 2007 and for an earlier loan for $250,000. Both loans were by predecessor banks that PNC has since bought out. Although Geneva Hospitality was not named in the court case originally, the receiver, attorney Michael Polsky, Milwaukee, determined the management company is the holder of nancial and accounting records for the hotel. Geneva Hospitality, and Webster, were made responsible by the court for turning over nancial and accounting information to the receiver. Webster was rst cited for contempt by Race on Jan. 18 after she failed to turn over nancial documents to the court. That same month, Webster later showed up at Polskys Milwaukee ofce with boxes of nancial documents. The contempt order then was held in abeyance. On May 10, Polsky entered a brief asking the court to enforce the contempt order against Webster. Polsky argued that the documents Webster turned over were inadequate, and that she never turned over the accounting data as ordered by the court. Polsky, the court-appointed receiver for the nanciallytroubled Cove, said he was frustrated with a lack of accounting information provided by Geneva Hospitality and with Websters refusal to answer questions during two subsequent depositions. The next hearing involving the Cove will be 2:30 p.m. June 20 at the Walworth County Judicial Center.

Loudenbeck lands funds for domestic abuse victims

MADISON State Rep. Amy Loudenbeck (R-Clinton) thanked and applauded the Joint Finance Committee for allocating $1.5 million over the biennium in additional funds for services to domestic violence victims. I have been a strong advocate for victims of domestic violence and I understand how important local shelters are to the safety and well-being of our most vulnerable citizens. I greatly appreciate the Joint Finance Committees commitment to funding services for victims of domestic violence by adding $1.5 million to the states biennial budget, Loudenbeck said in a recent press release. Shelters in Wisconsin serve about 1,400 people per day but unfortunately deny service to approximately 270 people per day. Additionally, 80 percent of domestic abuse victims are sheltered in rural counties, and the majority of domestic violence incidents and homicides occur in counties with a population under 400,000 people. These additional domestic violence funds will provide much-needed funding for our local communities, Loudenbeck said. Loudenbeck represents the 31st Assembly District which includes communities in eastern Rock and Western Walworth counties.

Council denies Care for LGs claim

By Chris Schultz cschultz@lakegenevanews.net A claim by Care for Lake Geneva against the city of Lake Geneva was unanimously denied by the Lake Geneva City Council at its May 28 meeting. The nonprot group led a claim for damages against the city on March 14, demanding that the city repeal ordinance 11-23 which amends the city master plan. It argues that any agreement the city made with an Illinois developer to change the master plan is in violation of the states prohibition against contract zoning and was done arbitrarily and capriciously. The letter says that if the city denied the claim, Care for Lake Geneva will ask the courts for all appropriate relief. The city council has given Care for Lake Geneva that chance. City Attorney Dan Draper said claim was reviewed by Joe Wirth, attorney for the citys insurance company, who recommended that it be denied. Care for Lake Geneva now has 120 days from the councils action to take the issue to court. The master plan amendment Care for Lake Geneva nds offensive was approved in August 2011. Robert Hummel, an Illinois developer, owns about 718 undeveloped acres along the citys southern edge. Hummel and his partners, called Geneva Ridge Joint Venture, led a multi-million dollar federal lawsuits against the city claiming that the citys master plan designated Hummels land rural holding, which unfairly precluded development of a planned residential subdivision and a small retreat/resort on Geneva Lake. Geneva Ridge preferred that land be designated planned neighborhood and planned ofce. According to Regional News archives, a federal judge ordered the city and developer into mediation. On April 6, 2011, Geneva Ridge send a letter to the city asking it to amend its master plan. After several mediation sessions, on June 13, 2011, the parties entered into a memorandum of understanding that was groundwork for a settleDraper ment. Called the Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, the city agreed to vote on the developers petition to amend the master plan by Aug. 31, 2011. However, according to Draper, the MOU did not bind the city to vote for Geneva Ridges request. Draper claims that the councils decision to amend its master plan to redesignate the 718 acres from agricultural to planned neighborhood and planned mixed use was not exactly what the developers asked for, either. However, the two sides settled shortly thereafter. Casey Schiche, president of Care for Lake Geneva, said his group is not looking for damages or nes from the alleged open meetings law violation. Instead, Schiche said the group just wants the city to acknowledge that it made a secret deal with the developer and wants any documents related to that agreement. But Draper has said the group is looking for something that isnt there. He said the group already has the settlement document, the MOU, reached at the June 13 meeting. It was released by the city in December 2012 after Care for Lake Geneva led a writ of mandamus with Walworth County Circuit Court demanding the city clerk release the document. That, said Draper, is the only document between the city and Geneva Ridge Joint Venture that refers to the citys master plan.

Theater
Kathy Jachimek said she grew up on Cooks Cranberry Hill Farm in the town of Lyons on Cranberry Road. She said her home was just four miles from the Playboy Club, now the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa. Jachimek said that, when she was a girl, she and her friends went to the Geneva Theater for free matinees of such movies as Godzilla and King Kong. She said the theater would regularly have free matinees for the kids on days there was no school, and probably made a fortune in popcorn and soda sales, she added. We have a fondness for old buildings and, like most people, we feel this building is special, William Jachimek said in an April email to the Regional News. He said he hoped that he bought the building in time to save it from further damage, and mentioned that a new roof is the first thing on the list of repairs. Jachimek wrote that initial plans were to turn the building into retail space or an antique mall. However, when the Jachimeks looked the old building over, they became committed to keeping it as an entertainment venue, possibly a dinner theater comparable to the Fireside in Fort Atkinson. We also would welcome ideas from the community, Jachimek wrote. For us, its still an investment so in the long run it will have to be a moneymaking venture.

BLOOMFIELD

Will a removal service be hired soon?

Village of Bloomeld ofcials await bids while Pell Lake weeds slowly return
By Steve Targo steve@lakegenevanews.net BLOOMFIELD Already, the tops of the weeds have crested the surface of Pell Lake. Theyre reaching for sunlight, Village President Ken Monroe said during a May 31 phone interview. Too many lake weeds can be a nuisance, entangling boat props, swimmers limbs and shing lines. Swimmers itch, the term for an itchy rash caused by parasites which burrow into a humans skin and actually die there, is another concern for those who spend extended periods of time in a weed-heavy lake. The question is, what will the village do about it? The last two years, weeds caused problems, especially for those who want to sh, swim or boat on Pell Lake. The Badger State Outboard Association had to cancel its annual Powerboat Days event on Pell Lake in 2011 because of the weed overgrowth, which caused serious delays and doubt for the event in 2012. But this year, it appears village ofcials will be considering hiring a company to remove weeds from Pell Lake. On May 30, Monroe said the villages parks, lakes and recreation committee is awaiting a presentation from Clear Water Harvesters, Crystal Lake, Ill. He said Clear Water provides a lake weed removal service. A company rep is expected to give a presentation to the committee June 27 at the town and village of Bloomelds committee of the whole meeting. Monroe said a Clear Water rep was supposed to attend Mays committee of the whole meeting, but something came up. At this time, I honestly dont know just how super busy the people from Crystal Lake are, Monroe said. He said he contacted three weed removal companies, including Clear Water. One told him they were too busy, he said, and another company I called seemed to be very expensive, asking for $3,000 to set up equipment, plus paying for a crews hourly wages and other costs. I didnt pursue them any further, Monroe said. But what if, for some reason, Clear Water isnt hired by the village? Ill just make some more phone calls and try to get somebody else, Monroe said. Slow return One thing in ofcials favor is Mother Nature. Monroe said he noticed the lake weeds above water last week. The tops of weeds can be seen above the lake level near North Shore Drive, east of the former St. Marys Church. Thats about on schedule. In a 2012 interview, Monroe said they typically grow fastest between June and July. On May 30, Monroe said no one has complained to him about the lake weeds, so far. Last year, however, people began complaining about the weeds in spring. Last year, the weeds were there after the ice melted off, Monroe said. Before Memorial Day weekend, in 2012, the Pell Lake weeds grew so dense that Powerboat Days was postponed from early June 2012 to June 23 and 24. To ensure the races would occur, the association and the Pell Lake Sportsmens Club helped, as did others, remove weeds from the lake. It wasnt the rst time a group of volunteers got together to clean the lake. The Pell Lake Mud Hens made a name for itself by doing just that. The Mud Hens formed in the 1990s. Many have credited Scott Haldeman as the person who started it. During a June 2012 interview, current Mud Hen member Ted Lighteld said several group members began to lose interest after Haldeman died May 5, 2008. Lighteld said the Mud Hens didnt have enough funds to continue its weed removal operation, so the group went on hiatus. Last year, the sportsmens club faced its own troubles while removing weeds last year. Club member Bill Gaede worked a weed cutter June 2012 on Pell Lake and was ned by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for violating the restrictions placed on the permit. Last year, Monroe also looked at other alternatives. He suggested the formation of a lake district to maintain Pell Lake and the formation of a Mud Hens-type of committee. Now, it appears both ideas have been abandoned. The lake district idea had no steam, and Monroe said previously that his open call late last summer for volunteers didnt yield enough interested people. He also looked into the possibility of the village purchasing its own weed harvester. Monroe said previously that could cost about $250,000. Would there be any grants? Nothing was available last year, Monroe said May 30. This year, I havent heard from the DNR at all on weed cutting grants or anything like that.

TOWN OF LINN GENOA CITY

Commission says yes to Reeds request

Chairman votes no because of uncertainty about industrial zoning in that area
By Steve Targo steve@lakegenevanews.net LINN All four requests before the plan commission May 28 were approved, but a town ofcial voted against one of them. Jim Weiss, town and commission chairman, was opposed to the request by Jon and Jeff Reed, of Reeds Construction, to rezone about 0.65 acre of the former welding shop in Linton, W4070 and W4062 Linton Road, to industrial. However, the rest of the commission voted in favor of the Reeds request, which also was to obtain a conditional use permit to allow them to remove the existing buildings and replace them with two pole barns that would be used for welding, construction and mechanical work and equipment maintenance. Outside, the Reeds want to store boat lifts and piers. On the phone, Weiss said the request is expected to be discussed at the June 10 town board meeting. It will go before the board with the commissions favorable recommendation, then the board will recommend action to Walworth County ofcials, who have the nal say. Weiss spoke in general terms about the request during a previous phone interview. He said the property lost its luster and the Reeds plan would clean it up. But on May 31, Weiss said given the hodge podge of zoning uses in the Linton area, he wasnt sure changing the zoning of the property to an M-1 class, which allows light industrial applications, was the right thing to do. My personal viewpoint is this, he said. The property has split zoning right now manufacturing on the east side and residential on the west. Its surrounded by agricultural on the east side and residential on the north and west side. Therefore, the question is, with agricultural and residential being there, is (M-1) the proper zoning? I struggled with accepting a manufacturing parcel being surrounded by agricultural and residential (properties). But none of the neighbors complained about the request, Weiss said. They want the property to look nicer, as I want the property to look nicer, he said. The question is, is this the solution? Other commission members thought so. Weiss said Cully Pillman, Tom Gardiner and Peter Borgo spoke in favor of the request. Although there were comparisons between this request and one made last year by John Trossen that town ofcials denied, one key difference is the Reeds property had two zoning classes attached to it. In a previous interview, Weiss had urged town ofcials to look at which zoning class would be appropriate for the property. In addition to it being surrounded by agricultural and residential uses, the former welding shop is across the street from a former restaurant which had been converted into apartments. Other requests Aside from the Reeds rezone/conditional use request, the commission unanimously approved: n A request to amend the conditional use permit for Matthew and Mary Polyock, of Farm City Elevator, N473 Zenda Road. The Polyocks want to extend the existing grain pad on the property, which is zoned A-4 for agricultural-related manufacturing. Weiss said the commission approved the permit amendment with the condition that the Polyocks install varispeed fans. He said they have an open grain storage area, and the grain is covered with tarp. To keep the tarp down over the grain, they use fans, Weiss said. However, neighbors have complained about the noise of these fans, which only operate at one speed, he said. The idea is, with varispeed fans, they wont be operating at full blast all the time. Weiss said Jake Polyock, of Farm City Elevator, suggested the varispeed fans. Engineers are also looking at moving the operation to the east side of the property, which would place it further from the neighbors, Weiss said. n A rezone/conditional use permit request from Walter and Lynn Lottig, which involves about 2.1 acres of A-1 prime ag land at W3505 Highway B. In addition to asking for a rezone to A-5, the Lottigs requested a conditional use permit to allow the land to be used as a planned residential development. Weiss said the Lottigs are selling their house, which sits on the 35-acre property, and this would eliminate the possibility of the new owner subdividing the property. n A variance request from Allan Polyock to allow the location of grain bins, grain dryer, leg elevators and an ag structure at W3725 Builders Court.

Law aims to curb underage drinking

Local police chiefs support bill
Associated Press and the Regional News MADISON (AP) Law enforcement ofcers urged state lawmakers last week to support a bill that would prohibit adults from knowingly permitting or failing to prevent underage drinking in Wisconsin, and local police chiefs said they applauded the effort to strengthen underage drinking laws. Adults 21 and older are now only responsible for underage drinking or alcohol purchases at bars or liquor stores that they own. The proposal from Rep. Andre Jacque, R-De Pere, would expand that responsibility to all properties adults own, including their homes. Around Geneva Lake, three local police chiefs said the new bill claries the law, and they support the change. I would encourage our lawmakers to support the new legislation and make it easier for law enforcement to hold adults responsible for hosting parties with minors and alcohol, town of Geneva Police Chief Steven Hurley said. Lake Geneva Police Chief Michael Rasmussen and Williams Bay Police Chief Robert Pruessing both added their support to the proposed legislation. The new language (Jacque) puts in there certainly claries it, Pruessing said. Hurley said underage drinking isnt common in Geneva Township, but when those calls come in they can be challenging. It is difcult enough to deal with underage drinking parties, Hurley said. It is frustrating not to be able to hold the person that is legally of age and in control of the property accountable for it. Rasmussen said police can cite parents for providing alcohol, but strengthening the law will help enforcement. We have always been able to hold bartenders responsible, this curbs down the house parties, he said. You get parents who allow it and this kind of holds them responsible for it. Does it make it easier? Yes. Have we really had an issue with it? I dont think we have here. Pruessing said his department hasnt had any problems with enforcement with the current laws. However, he said he rarely sees parents providing alcohol. Occasionally you have issues with the 21-plus-year-old individuals who will go into a packaged good store, buy something and a transaction occurs in the parking lot, Pruessing said. We get those on occasion. Most of our vendors have been real good. If they suspect something like that they give us a heads up or decline the sale. Is underage drinking more common in Lake Geneva than other places? Rasmussen said for adults between the ages of 18 and 20 Lake Geneva may see a little more underage drinking, but that is only because the community is a tourist area. However, for high school-aged students, Rasmussen said Lake Geneva prob-

ably sees the same amount of underage drinking as any other community. Hearing at state Legislature In a letter sent to the Assembly Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee, Appleton police Lt. Michael Frisch said the city has had several cases in the past years where adults would host underage drinking parties at their homes, but the police couldnt give them citations due to limitations under current law. These circumstances pose a public safety hazard, Frisch said, leading to increased vehicle and foot trafc, excessive noise, garbage left outside, and damage to property. Jacque said his proposal would set a universal standard for all state municipalities to follow. Under current law, counties and cities can set up their own underage drinking ordinances that have same effects as Jacques proposal, but only Winnebago and Manitowoc counties have such rules. Two Rivers Police Chief Joseph Collins told the committee in a letter that by

having such an ordinance, the city has signicantly improved its underage drinking problems. Without this law, and being able to prove the adult provided the alcohol, the person facilitation and allowing the party would not have been held accountable for their actions, Collins said. Wisconsin ranks rst among the states in binge drinking, dened as ve or more drinks during one occasion for men and four or more drinks for women, according to a March report from the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. Maureen Busalacchi, executive director at the nonprot Health First Wisconsin, said in a statement that excessive alcohol consumption, including underage drinking, is estimated to cost the state about $6.8 million a year. Lawmakers have struggled for years to tackle the states drinking and drunken driving problem. But concerns about increasing jail and other criminal justice costs, as well as pushback from alcohol retailers, have stymied most of their efforts. Jacque introduced another bill in March that would allow liquor license holders to sue underage patrons or their parents, if theyre still minors if they misrepresent themselves as 21 or older in an attempt to buy or consume alcohol on the premises. That bill, Jacque said, would deter minors from sneaking into bars, in turn curbing binge drinking and drunken driving. Comments from local police chiefs added by Robert Ireland of the Lake Geneva Regional News.

LOCAL AND STATE TIDBITS

Watch for deer in June
MADISON (AP) Wisconsin transportation ofcials are warning drivers to be on the lookout for deer this month. The state Department of Transportation says car-deer crashes typically peak in the fall, but June is one of the most dangerous months for drivers. Deer are on the move this time of year as they search for places to give birth and young deer separate from their mothers. The agency says drivers should be especially vigilant during the early morning and evening hours, when deer are most active. Drivers also should be aware that deer seldom run alone. If they spot a deer along the side of the road they should slow down and honk their horns with one long blast to frighten the animal away. Soukup. Preregistration is required at the circulation desk and space is limited. The programs are sponsored by the Friends of the Lake Geneva Public Library. The June schedule will cover making journals, collages and air-dry clay sculptures. Tweens are welcome to attend these programs at no charge.

DNR approves exploratory mining permit

MADISON (AP) The state Department of Natural Resources has approved an exploratory drilling permit for a company looking to open a giant iron mine in northwestern Wisconsin. Gogebic (go-GEE-bic) Taconite wants to dig a four-mile long open-pit mine in the Penokee Hills. Republicans earlier this year passed a contentious bill relaxing the states mining regulations to clear the way for the company. Gogebic Taconite ofcials led an application with the DNR earlier this month to drill 13 exploratory holes but later scaled back the project to eight holes. DNR ofcials say the company made the move after agency staff asked for more information about potential wetland impacts from possible improvements on roads leading to ve sites. Company President Bill Williams didnt immediately return a message. The DNR approved the application Thursday.

Brown/Mom called the sheriffs department for help with suicidal son
In a brief telephone interview, Nancy Brown said her son never had a chance in his encounter with the deputies and that the report that he had advanced on the ofcers with a knife was untrue. Nancy Browns 911 call was a call for help for her son, the complaint says. The mother and the authorities agree that Brown was a young man with emotional problems. According to the complaint, when Nancy Brown made her 911 call to the sheriffs department, she reminded authorities that her son had a history of bipolar disorder, that he had a history of self-harm and that he was suicidal. She also told authorities that there were no other weapons in her sons room except for the knife which he was using to cut himself. All of that information was reportedly passed on to deputies Blanchard and Such on their way to the Brown residence, the complaint says. In an earlier interview, Nancy Brown said she tried to calm her son and stop him from cutting himself. Brown had said she had called the sheriffs department for help with her son three times before. She said the deputies who arrived during those calls consoled her son. The shooting occurred after the deputy reportedly kicked open the door to Browns bedroom a second time. The rst time the door was kicked open, Brown reportedly slammed it shut again. According to the account of the confrontation in the complaint: Upon defendant Deputy Blanchard kicking in the bedroom door, John Brown stood up from the chair he was seated in and turned to face the doorway. Deputy Blanchard then aimed his service weapon at the person of John Brown. (Deputy) Such then arrived at the threshold to John Browns bedroom and positioned himself immediately behind Deputy Blanchard. Blanchard then kicked the door to John Browns bedroom with enough force for it to swing open once more. Blanchard again aimed his service weapon directly at the person of John Brown. Such then drew his Taser and aimed it at John Brown. John Brown remained in the center of the bedroom motionless in a standing position. Immediately after kicking open the door a second time and at approximately 12:17 a.m., Blanchard red two bullets from his service weapon at the person of John Brown. Hit twice Brown was struck once in the left side of the chest and once in the left side of the neck. According to the complaint, Blanchard then handcuffed Brown, who was still alive but not moving. Brown was taken to Lakeland Medical Center by ambulance, where he died of his injuries at about 1:15 a.m. The complaint alleges that the Walworth County Sheriffs Ofce failed to adequately supervise, discipline and train their ofcers in the appropriate use of force. It accuses Blanchard of using excessive force and that his conduct was objectively unreasonable. It charges that his actions were taken with malice and with reckless indifference to John Browns Constitutional rights. It also accuses Such of failing to intervene to prevent Blanchard from shooting Brown. Throughout the May 5, 2012 encounter with John Brown, Such had a realistic opportunity to intervene and prevent deprivation of John Browns Constitutional rights. The complaint asks the court to award compensatory damages, including medical and funeral expenses, attorneys fees and punitive damages against Walworth County and the sheriffs department, and against Blanchard and Such individually. The complaint was entered by attorney Timothy S. Knurr of Schoone, Leuck, Kelley, Pitts & Knurr of Racine. Attorney Rebecca Williams of Romanucci & Blandin LLC, a Chicago law rm that specializes in personal injury and wrongful death, said the Chicago rm often works with the Racine law rm in Wisconsin. She said the two law rms are working together on the case. The court document is dated May 8. The complaint demands a trial by jury. Listed as an involuntary plaintiff, is the Wisconsin Department of Health and Human Services. The complaint also calls for the court to determine whether the debt owed by the estate of John Brown to the Wisconsin Department of Health and Human Services should be transferred to the defendants.

St. Francis preschool teacher retiring

After 27 years, Linda Ahnert, art teacher and preschool teacher at St. Francis de Sales Parish School, is bidding farewell to the staff, students and families she has served throughout her career. Its been a great run, Ahnert said, but she is ready to retire and pass on her counting wand. Ahnert was born in Milwaukee and came to Lake Geneva in 1971 when she married Gary Ahnert. Both have been actively involved in the Lake Geneva Schools Outdoor Education Program for more than 35 years. The Ahnerts have a daughter, Becky who grew up in Lake Geneva and currently lives and works in Las Vegas. Ahnert attended St. Margaret Mary Grade School, Pius XI High School and Mount Mary College in Milwaukee, before moving to Lake Geneva. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater with a degree in art education. Ahnert worked as a teachers aide and substitute teacher for the Lake Geneva Public School system for eight years. She also taught at the Lake Geneva Co-op preschool for three years, before getting her job at St. Francis de Sales. While teaching at St. Francis de Sales, Linda received the Walmart Teacher of the Year Award in 1997 and was nominated for a Disney Teacher Award by her students parents. I was very humbled to have received such honors, Ahnert said. During her tenure at St. Francis School, she has organized more than 20 Family Fun Fairs, an important link to the community, and funds the preschool programs activities. Its been an absolute joy for me to have been able to run these events that bring laughter and fun and smiles to all who attend, she said. During the past 27 years, Ahnert says she has worked with several wonderful teachers aides, but cites one, in particular, for being her inspiration for raising the teaching bar to a level of ministry beyond the school day. Ive worked with Jan Kreissl for 20 years, and every day she inspires me by her loyalty, dedication, selessness and tireless energy that she devotes to the children and to my sometimes unorthodox teaching methods. It doesnt hurt that she can reach high places, too. Jan is the tall to my small and the children delight in calling us Mrs. Tall and Mrs. Small. Ahnert said she is looking forward to not keeping a rigorous daily schedule. She is anxious to work out in her yard and sew that button on that she has been neglecting. She wants to spend more time with her husband, visit their daughter in Las Vegas and take a 42nd wedding anniversary trip to Disney World. The Home and School Committee at St. Francis is hosting a retirement celebration on Thursday, June 6 in the parish center, from 4 to 7 p.m. Food will be served and former students and school families are encouraged to stop in during those hours to see Ahnert. Editors note: the above article was submitted by David Wieters, school administrator at St. Francis de Sales.

ROBERT IRELAND/REGIONAL NEWS

MRS. SMALL AND MRS. TALL are two well-known teachers at St. Francis de Sales school. Mrs. Small, aka Linda Ahnert is retiring as a preschool and art teacher after 27 years. Mrs. Tall, aka Jan Kreissl, was her assistant for 20 years.

Hotel woes/In bad economy condo-tel owners looking for money

The owners may occupy their rooms for a limited time. Usually, however, the rooms are rented out on a rotation basis. The room owner, the hotel owner and the management company share in the revenues generated by guests staying in the hotel rooms. The whole operation is overseen by a condominium owners association board of directors. Friction between the room owners and board of directors, or the room owners and management company, or among all three, play big parts in these lawsuits. Hotel income also plays a big part. The three lawsuits can be summed up as Why was that money spent? How was the money spent?, and just plain, Wheres the money? Hotel operations are generally unaffected. Most guests probably know nothing of the legal maneuverings. And thats not to say condo-tels did not wind up in court before. But these cases seem to strike right at the heart of how condo-tels are operated. The three cases, involving millions of dollars, are all due to the current economic climate and the nancial strains that come with it, according to three attorneys who are involved in the cases. The attorneys, Randall Leece, Elkhorn; Richard Torhorst and David C. Williams, both of Lake Geneva, agreed to talk about the general conditions that triggered the lawsuits. They did not speak specically about the cases in which they are involved. eece is defending the condo association board of directors at Bella Vista Suites, Lake Geneva. I think this is one of the results of the whole real estate market collapse, said Leece. Leece is representing the condo association board and former board president Luke Castrogiovanni against several condo owners at Bella Vista who have sued the board for scal mismanagement. Tourism is down and the entertainment dollars arent there, Leece said. You get a reduction in income, but the bills dont stop. The nancial strain on condo-tel unit owners can be immense, he said. For some owners, the hotel rooms they own are second homes. Some of the owners used equity from their rst homes to buy the condominium hotel rooms, Leece said. If their rst homes are underwater, owing more on their mortgages than the current value of their properties, then income from the hotel room becomes more important. Things go from bad to worse when the cash ow from the hotel room rentals dries up, Leece said.

Tourism is down and the entertainment dollars arent there, attorney Randall Leece said. You get a reduction in income, but the bills dont stop.
When the money is coming in during good times, no one notices the aws or disparities, Leece said. When economic times get hard, however, the problems get more noticeable, he said. Everyone has a different agenda and everyone has different nancial abilities, Leece said. Bad economic times exposes those differences and creates resentments, he said.

Then comes a bad economy, and suddenly room owners nd they are not only losing money, but they must pay, as well. In the past, they got checks, but now, theyre not getting checks and theyre getting special assessments, Torhorst said. What exacerbates the situation, is the lack of communication between the condo association board of directors and the rest of the room owners. The boards of directors, generally speaking, have the authority to draw up and approve budgets.

And its the board of directors of the condominium association at a condo-tel that sets the tone for the hotels operations, Torhorst said. They tend not to share information with other (association) members, Torhorst said of the condo-tel boards. Theres a clubby atmosphere around the board, as well, which tends to put the other condo association members off, Torhorst said. People get pissed off at the owners, he said.

WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND A JOB WELL DONE AND OUR CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE 2013 AREA GRADUATES!

illiams represents the room owners group at Lake Lawn that is suing the hotel board of directors. He also represents Geneva Hospitality LLC, the former manager of the Cove. Those units are based on income. Theyre set up to be run as a hotel, said Williams. What they are not run as is a charitable organization. When the money was plentiful, potential shortcomings in the decisions made by the board of directors went unnoticed. As cash ows began to shrink, room owners began to notice what they considered to be their boards nancial missteps. When real estate is going up and everyone is making money, theres little litigation, Williams said. When youre making money on it, whos going to complain, he asked rhetorically. Williams said the courts are now being asked to decide the gray areas of the law dealing with condo-tels. Theres not a lot of controlling law on condos in Wisconsin, Williams said. Williams also pointed out that there are condo-tels in the area that are managing without taking their problems to court. Geneva Ridge, the former Interlaken, is managing things without resorting to litigation, Williams observed. It comes down to the economy, said Williams. Ask any small business owner in the downtown.

orhorst is representing the Bella Vista room owners suing the condo associations board of directors. To me it all goes back to the lack of communication between the board and the (association) members, Torhorst said. Torhorst agreed with Leece and Williams that the common thread is the bad economy. But another factor is the relationship between the association board of directors and the members of the association. The board makes decisions and the members pay the price, Torhorst said. During the good times, those decisions are hardly noticeable, he added.

Looking to improve emergency services

By Jade Bolack Jbolack@lakegenevanews.net FONTANA The village board still has to nalize emergency services to provide adequate coverage for residents. Village President Arvid Pete Peterson said mutual aid between Fontana and surrounding communities is the best option. If we can come up with an intergovernment agreement, thats really the way to go, he said at the June 3 village board meeting. Village Administrator Kelly Hayden said the protection committee, which handles police, re and rescue decisions, asked the organizations to meet with surrounding communities. They recommended that the multiple chiefs meet with area (personnel) and report back, she said. Currently, the village is served by both volunteers and a contract through Paratech Ambulance Services. Trustee George Spadoni said the time is right to make this change. Volunteerism in this country is down, he said. The citizens of this community deserve full coverage. Lake Geneva Marine The village owns the building housing Lake Geneva Marine, 454 Lake Ave. Lake Geneva Marine, which rents the building, would like to renovate but will do so only if the village board agrees to another long-term lease. Peterson suggested the board create a new committee to oversee options for the nancing of a project and leasing terms. Trustees Cindy Wilson, Rick Pappas and Patrick Kenny agreed to work with the marine and report back to the board. Buoys for rent Hayden said that ve of the villages mooring buoys are still for lease. Were gone through the waiting list for the slips, but those on the slip waiting list want to stay there for a slip, not a buoy, she said. We dont want the buoys sitting empty for the season. Hayden said most residents have already made a decision on storage of their boats for the season, and the village could look at other possibilities for renting them. Pappas said the lakefront and harbor committee can solicit bids from local businesses. We can try renting it to a business for the summer, he said. They can try renting it by the day or week. We dont have to worry about short term leases. Hayden said because there is no waiting list, the buoys will be rented on a rst-come, rst-served basis.

Model A Day in Sharon

Kikkoman celebrates 40th anniversary

By Jade Bolack JBolack@lakegenevanews.net TOWN OF WALWORTH In 2012, the town of Walworth produced more than 30 million gallons of soy sauce. The Kikkoman facility, at Six Corners Road south of Highway 14, is the largest naturally brewed soy sauce facility in the world. Dan Miller, vice president of administration at the Walworth facility, said the plant employees about 170 people from the area. We wanted to locate in a rural area to have a strong workforce and a loyal group of employees, he said. That certainly has been a great thing for us. Its been a formula that works. Were fortunate to have a very loyal and conscientious group of employs here. Miller has been with the company for 16 years, and the company will celebrate 40 years in Walworth this month. We were one of the rst Japanese companies to actually build a production facility in the United States, he said. We had our grand opening in June 1973. We had been selling our product, soy sauce and related products, here in the U.S. since the 1950s. Miller said demand in the country grew, and the company decided to expand. For a long time, we were the only production facility to supply products to all of North America, he said. We wanted a location that was in the center of the U.S. for distribution purposes, and we wanted to locate our plant close to the soy beans and wheat growing regions. Kikkoman, with headquarters in Japan, built another production facility in California in 1998. Walworth was picked for geographic reasons but also for the reputation of Midwest workers, Miller said.

Professor, student studying shore path

By Jade Bolack JBolack@lakegenevanews.net LAKE GENEVA Academics from Oshkosh will be studying the Geneva Lake Shore Path this summer and into 2014. Paul Van Auken, professor of sociology at University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, and his research assistant Maggie Danielson are compiling survey results from area residents. The idea to study how people use the shore path started more than a year ago. Ive spent some time down on Geneva Lake in the last few summers, Van Auken said. Ive walked the path a little bit. It seemed like a very interesting anomaly to have this path that goes around the whole lake. Danielson, originally from Orfordville, said she had never been on the path before learning about the project from Van Auken. I thought it sounded really interesting, she said. its kind of closer to my hometown, too. I did get to walk (the path) while I was doing research for the project. I really liked it. Van Auken has studied socio-economic land use patterns in the past. In my dissertation, I compared part of Wisconsin to part of Norway, he said. In Norway, thats the rule everywhere. Shorelines are open to anyone. It doesnt matter whos property it is. The public shore path is an anomaly in the United States, Van Auken said. Danielson started researching the shore path and found no studies completed on it. As far as we could tell, nobody had really studied it, Van Auken said. We made contact with the local library in Lake Geneva and got copies of the court case around it. Local groups are also interested in gathering data about the path, he said. Over the last month, weve been in touch with people working with local governments and the conservancy there, Van Auken said. There seems to be some interest. Those contacts have helped spread the word about the survey. Van Auken and Danielson plan to send 3,000 postcards to residents in communities surrounding the lake. It seems like something the local people are pretty interested in, Van Auken said. They may have some strong opinions about it. They hope to have at least 300 people take the online survey.

Reading specialist retiring from Big Foot

By Jade Bolack JBolack@lakegenevanews.net WALWORTH From pushing kids on swings to silencing students in a study hall, Tricia Reese has done it all. Reese will retire this spring after 15 years of being a reading specialist at Big Foot High School. Its been a good 15 years, she said. I like leaving my job in that sense. Before working at Big Foot, she was a beautician in Elkhorn. Then Reese worked in a small kindergarten to third-grade school as an ofce lady. She was hired at Big Foot to work in the alternative learning center. I was there, in the room where they sent the naughty kids in class, Reese said. Instead of sending the kids to the principals ofce, they sent them to me. From there, Reese moved to helping students with reading. That was my love. Thats my challenge, she said. I like making a connection with kids and reading. At Big Foot, Reese said the students expect to see her walking in the hallways with a book and a cup of tea. Reese had no special training in reading, she just picked it up. I was one of 10 kids, she said. I was more time in her garden, though not on the farm her family owns. I like to stay away from the farm, she said. I did move the combine, once. Its like a big lawn mower, but I dont want to do that. Her husband, Bob, runs the farm, and she takes care of the inside work, she said. I would love to garden more, though, especially tomatoes, she said. I have a green Mustang that Id like to spend more time with. Reese has family to visit, too a son, a daughter, and one granddaughter along with her brothers and sisters. I have a sister in Florida Id like to see, she said. Now Im going to have that time to travel there. She may have time to write a book about her parents, too. If I did write, it would be about my moms strength though her disease, she said. My dad and her were partners. They just learned to work together. Reese encourages her students to keep in touch, and many who have graduated still do. Its good to know that you helped someone, she said. Even if its just acknowledging that they are there, that they are worthwhile. Even if its just a smile and saying hello in the hallway.

Shes a reading specialist and has served in different capacities all over the school. the oldest girl, and I was always working around kids. Her mom worked as a teacher for a while, too. Of any skill that kids can take with them, reading is the cornerstone, Reese said. Reading a book is like visiting a good friend. Her favorite author is Elizabeth Berg. I got to meet her at one of her signing events in Milwaukee, Reese said. She wrote a book about polio, and it really struck me. Reeses mother lived with the same disease for many years. I had the book signed and told her how much it meant to me, she said. It was like she wrote the book for me, the way it touched my heart. After this school year, Reese will spend

Konkle leaves after 43 years

By Jade Bolack JBolack@lakegenevanews.net WALWORTH She doesnt know many of the students, but she still played a major role at Big Foot High School for 43 1/2 years. Barb Konkle, secretary and jack of all trades in and out of the school, will retire at the end of this school year, but she wont be staying home. Were going to continue traveling, she said of her and her husband, Wayne. Konkle, who attended the University of Wisconsin-Platteville but never earned a degree, is an expert single-action shooter, photographer and dancer. She has the awards to prove it, too. I got the MRS degree, Konkle said. I got married instead of nishing. I just thought Id be having kids and I wouldnt need it. And Ive had a job ever since. Besides working at the school, Konkle and her husband taught dance classes for several years. We started out just taking one class, she said. Then we kept going. We went through the classes, intermediate and up. Then we took lessons at other places. And when the teacher there decided to retire, she asked us if we would teach. So, they became the fun dance teachers, according to an old business card. They dont dance much anymore, but Konkle still knows the steps. Swing was my favorite, she said. We really enjoyed ballroom dancing. The husband and wife team photographed weddings for several years, and they even sold some prints at art shows. We would travel around to those shows with our prints, Konkle said. We sold some as recent as December 2012. Before the photography, there were shooting competitions. After my children left home for college, I saw I had the time for something else, she said. My husband taught me to

Konkle and her husband shoot leveraction shotguns and single-action pistols in competitions. Theyve both been state and national champs more than once. My husband is a pro, she said. He taught me all of it. I dont like to practice, though. I just go to the competitions. The Konkles own 60 acres of land, and often host police and tactical team practices on their property. During all those adventures, Konkle has switched jobs at the high school more times than she can count. I was a receptionist, guidance secretary, attendance secretary, teachers secretary, copy machine worker and food service cashier, she said. I just kind of moved around where they needed me. Wayne was a high school teacher at Big Foot with Konkle. Wed drive together, she said. That helped save money, since I was only making minimum wage when I started, $1.75 an hour.

Boy, Its Worth A Try!

I have been a practice member of Fontana Family Chiropractic for over seven years, during which time I have had remarkable improvement to my LIFE! My back has always given me trouble in the past and when it goes out of whack I can barely walk, let alone ride, one of my three horses. BUT after an adjustment from Doc, I am in the saddle, ready to ride. WOW! Thanks, Doc. I have a bad tendency to get riled-up and nervous in certain situations, like dentist visits or times of trouble and stress. My blood pressure can go way up to 180/110! Ouch. But after an adjustment from the Doc it goes down to 115/75. WOW, thanks, Doc. Due to my riding, my left knee from time to time pops out and becomes excruciatingly painful. Doc sets it straight, and lo and behold, I am okay. Wow!

After an incorrect veterinary test which was a false positive (and would have meant putting my horse down, my baby), I suffered from a mini-stroke and Bells palsy (facial paralysis) in my face. My face was distorted and drooped to the left. I was scared and called the Doc. Dr. Bria sat with me for three hours in the emergency roomWOW, who does that? Docs adjustments got me back to normal in ve days. WOW, A MIRACLE! My M.D. was amazed. Additionally, adjustments have helped my digestion, my bladder problems, sinus headaches and my attitude. Without my adjustment at Fontana Family Chiropractic, I am a goner. Thanks, Doc. In my humble opinion EVERYONE should have chiropractic adjustments before doing any invasive medical procedure which may or may not be necessary. Most times the body heals itself when free from impingement, pressure and subluxations. BOY its worth a try! Take it from an old cowboy, Docs healing hands work miracles!

Not enough press to change venue in attempted murder case

By Robert Ireland RIreland@lakegenevanews.net ELKHORN The press coverage in an attempted homicide case hasnt poisoned a potential jury pool enough to justify a change in venue Judge John Race ruled on Friday afternoon. In addition to the two attempted homicide charges, Larry M. Shannon, 41, of Whitewater, faces nine other felonies and three misdemeanors. Shannon was arrested in October after he allegedly cut the throats of two children, beat their mother and then ed from police in a car in both Rock and Walworth counties, according to court documents. During Friday afternoons hearing, Public Defender Travis Schwantes cited 16 articles that have appeared in several publications, including the Lake Geneva Regional News and the Janesville Gazette. An impartial trial cant be held in this county, Schwantes said. Some of the articles cited in Schwantes motion included articles that appeared on websites for television stations in Rockford and Madison. However, he argued that because information is so easily available online, potential jurors may have read those articles. District Attorney Daniel Necci argued that the articles that have appeared in the newspapers havent been inammatory. They tend to quote Shannon the criminal complaint, a public document available to literally (anyone), he said. Necci cited previous instances in which judges denied venue changes for cases that had signicantly more press coverage than this one case. Necci also pointed out that only one article had been written about the case in the past ve months. Race said that he didnt believe there had been enough press coverage to affect a potential jury. There is no television station that calls Walworth County home and there is no daily newspaper that calls Walworth County home, Race said. Shannon is next set to appear in court on Wednesday, June 5.

Yerkes HAWC getting ready to y

Infrared camera will scan the galaxy
By Chris Schultz cschultz@lakegenevanews.net WILLIAMS BAY Its like sending a child off to college. Thats how Jim Gee, manager of Yerkes Observatory, said he and others felt about the recent transporting of the HAWC (High-resolution Airborne Widebandwidth Camera) to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. For more than a decade, engineers in the basement workshops at Yerkes Observatory designed and shaped the infrared camera that will help astrophysicists see what goes on behind the obscuring gas and dust clouds in our universe. Yerkes is owned by the University of Chicago. The high-tech camera was loaded into the back of a FedEx semi trailer early afternoon Monday. Gage Marine, Williams Bay, donated the forklift and the skills of operator Todd Cunningham to get the job done. Jesse Wirth, lead engineer on the HAWC project, said HAWCs trip to Pasadena will take 44 hours and 38 minutes, meaning it will arrive at JPL at about 6 a.m. Wednesday, California time, about two hours behind our time. Wirth said he expects to get a call at about 8:05 a.m., telling him to get out to Pasadena to help with testing and modifying HAWC, and training others in using the camera and its data collection systems. Wirth said the proposal for the camera and preliminary design work started in 1998. To give the camera a clearer view of the cosmos, it will be mounted on SOFIA. Operated by NASA, the SOFIA is a specially modied 747 jet that operates as an airborne observatory. In fact, SOFIA stands for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy. However, Wirth said HAWC still has another two or three years of modications before its mounted on the aircraft. Gee and Wirth said they didnt want to divulge the exact costs of building HAWC, but they estimated a cost of $10 million for the entire project. Marc Berthoud, Yerkes engineer, said infrared light, which is invisible to the naked eye, is able to penetrate the gas and dust clouds that obscure sections of the cosmos from our sight. The HAWC can see infrared. And it, therefore, can see into the dust and gas clouds that give birth to stars. It can also peer into the heart of our galaxy, which is home to an enormous black hole, he said. The camera is also able to investigate star formation and the cores of other galaxies around ours. In order to detect infrared, however, the array needs to be cooled to a temperature of 0.2 degree Kelvin. That is 0.2 degrees above absolute zero, when all atomic movement stops. Gee said the camera is designed like a cryogenic onion, in which four layers of refrigeration, each colder than the one above, to keep the infrared detection device at just the right temperature. Although high-altitude infrared astronomy is no longer new, each new infrared camera and each new airborne observatory brings more advances. The engineers at Yerkes count on HAWC to provide astrophysicists with some of the clearest infrared pictures of the galaxy and surrounding galaxies ever.

GENEVA LAKE NOTE

GLLEA participating in Operation Dry Water
The Geneva Lake Law Enforcement Agency will participate in Operation Dry Water Friday through Sunday, June 28 through 30, as part of a nationally coordinated effort to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities related to boating under the inuence (BUI). The mission of Operation Dry Water also brings awareness and education to recreational boaters about the dangers of alcohol and drug use on the water. During Operation Dry Water, ofcers will be out in force looking for boaters whose blood alcohol content exceeds the state limit of .08. This weekend will include increased patrols and breathalyzer tests, as well as boater education. Impaired boaters can expect to be arrested or face other serious penalties. In Wisconsin the consequences for BUI include nes, jail and loss of boating privileges. We are dedicated to keeping boaters safe on our waters. Boating is a safe and enjoyable pastime when people stay alert and follow the rules, commander Tom Hausner said. You will see our ofcers out on the water looking for boaters who are operating a vessel under the inuence. Boating under the inuence of drugs or alcohol continues to be a major problem across the nation. U.S. Coast Guard data reveals that alcohol is the primary contributing factor in recreational boating fatalities. Intoxicated boat operators and passengers run a signicantly increased risk of being involved in a fatal boating accident. Operation Dry Water is a nationwide education and enforcement initiative launched by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators in 2009 in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard. Operation Dry Water 2013 is a joint program of the Geneva Lake Law Enforcement Agency, the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators and the U.S. Coast Guard.

The upper Midwest has a reputation for the people being hardworking and dedicated, he said. Weve certainly experienced that within our company. The Walworth plant distributes its product throughout the U.S., and to Canada and Mexico. Less than 5 percent of the product is exported overseas. The company celebrates its anniversary with the town every year, but this year they will also host an economic development conference at The Abbey Resort.

Health Information Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Environmental Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

To obtain a summary of the source water assessment, please contact the Villages Utility Director, Dennis Barr, at (262) 275-6617. Educational Information The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally- occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. Pesticides & herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health. Number of Contaminants Required to be Tested This table displays the number of contaminants that were required to be tested in the last ve years. The CCR may contain up to ve years worth of water quality results. If a water system tests annually, or more frequently, the results from the most recent year are shown on the CCR. If testing is done less frequently, the results shown on the CCR are from the past ve years.

Alderman Taggart noted $45,140.00 is a pro-rated amount for the balance of the year. Alderman Wall said $1,000.00 per machine seems too expensive.

Mayor Connors said the City took in $767,000.00 for a partial season in 2012 and that an estimated $900,000.00 in revenue is budgeted for 2013. Alderman Lyon said the maintenance agreement shouldnt be a surprise because it was discussed when the equipment was originally purchased. Alderman Kupsik said the Personnel Committee discussed hiring more staff as an alternative to the maintenance agreement, but the Committee ultimately decided that more staff should not be hired. City Attorney stated he had concerns with provisions of the agreement relating to cancellation of the agreement, alterations to the agreement and attorney fees.

Discussion/Action on annual certification of TID #4 Hougen/Wall motion to close TID #4. Alderman Hougen said the TID has served the City well but the time is right for the City to close it. Alderman Kehoe disagreed, stating the City has TID projects that still need to be completed. Alderman Wall said TID #4 was created in 1995 with the purpose of eliminating blight and improving traffic; he felt the City has accomplished this and it would be appropriate to close it at this time. Alderman Hill said she did not favor closing the TID, noting there are TID projects that have not yet been completed. Ms. Hill added that if it werent for the TIF, the City would need to issue debt or raise taxes in order to do these projects. Alderman Lyon said he favored keeping TID #4 open because TIF motivates the City to maintain a long-term financial planning approach. Alderman Kupsik agreed with keeping TID #4 open in order to finish the pending projects. Alderman Mott said he was impressed with the fact that the Chamber of Commerce, on behalf of its 400 members, favored keeping TID #4 open. Mayor Connors expressed support for keeping TID #4 open, noting the City is in the process of completing a parking study that may call for parking infrastructure that could be funded by the TID.

the top of the rst, doubling to rightcenter to lead off the game. Ian Weber followed that with a single to score Andresen. Bradford answered in the bottom of the rst. After a single, Tibor doubled and advanced to third on a throwing error, which scored the leadoff batter. Tony DeBartolos sacrice y made it 2-1 Bradford after the rst inning. Andresen cruised along on the mound until the bottom of the fourth. Bradfords rst two hitters singled, and another base knock by Andrew Luscomb plated a run after Webers throwing error. Despite a 3-1 decit, Badger didnt quit. In the top of the fth, Weber reached on an error, and Krien hustled to beat out an ineld single. Jensen then walked to load the bases. With two outs, Gunner Losch struck out on four pitches. Peter Krien and Weber led the Badgers with two hits each. Eric Skipper and Trent Bobula added a hit apiece. A historic run Badger won its sixth conference title in school history with an 11-3 record, sharing the Southern Lakes crown with Union Grove. Despite the sectional loss, it was the teams rst trip to sectionals since 2008. Since my freshman year, we always knew senior year was going to be big, Andresen said. We have a lot to hang our hats on. Zweifel said the main goal was conference. The conference title cements a special place for this team, Zweifel said. Anything after conference was icing on the cake. Im very happy with the season. Hats off to these guys. They worked hard all year and in the offseason.

WIAA PLAYOFFS: Baseball boys fall to Bradford, nish season 14-9

State phenom Clutch hits elude Badger

By Mike Ramczyk sports@lakegenevanews.net WHITEWATER Badger baseball coach Aaron Zweifel said if his club could play solid defense Tuesday in a WIAA sectional seminal against top-seeded Kenosha Bradford, starting pitcher Colton Andresen would keep the Badgers in the ball game. Well, Andresen had his usual ace stuff, and the defense dazzled with some nifty plays. However, Badgers bats didnt come through in the clutch. Badger was right there with the Red Devils throughout, but missed opportunities at the plate led to a 31 loss and ended Badgers bid for its rst-ever state tournament trip. Badger ended its season 14-9. Bradford improved to 22-5. Playing at Prucha Field on the UW-Whitewater campus, Badger took a 1-0 lead in the rst inning and managed seven hits overall, but the local boys ultimately left 10 men on base. Bradfords pitcher Kevin Tibor, a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee recruit, used a fastball in the low 90s and a wicked breaking ball to stymie the Badgers. It was a tough loss, Zweifel said. I feel bad for the seniors. Colton did an awesome job. We put the ball in play, but we just didnt get that clutch hit. Andresen had another strong outing after earning a complete game victory May 30 in the regional nal. He struck out ve, allowed two earned runs and scattered eight hits over six innings. However, Tibor was a little better, fanning eight Badgers and only allowing seven hits. I was nervous at rst, Andresen said. It was the biggest stage weve been on all year. But I knew I had my guys behind me to defend. Andresen helped his own cause in

Martinez breaks school record

By Mike Ramczyk sports@lakegenevanews.net LA CROSSE Badger sophomore Alex Martinez made history last weekend at the WIAA state track tournament. Competing in the Division I 1,600 meter run, Martinez ran a time of 4:28.25, breaking a 30year-old school record. He finished in 21st place. It was huge to break the school record at the state meet, Martinez said Monday. Most people dont PR at a state meet, but to break a school record was just amazing. After the race, I was so excited I could barely breathe. It was amazing seeing the looks on my coaches faces. The boys other state qualifier, the 400 relay team of Connor Martinez Kotula, Andrew Allen, Nick Hall and Mike Mann, ended up 23rd with a time of 44.51. Our 400 team had a great first three legs, but the last handoff was bad and we didnt achieve our goals we had set for ourselves, Badger boys track coach AJ Curtis said. The Badger boys made sure to enjoy themselves at the meet, which was held at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse last Friday and Saturday. The state experience was great for our guys, Curtis said. As coaches, we have been up there a number of times, but in a sense it is always a new experience because we are taking up new athletes to this incredible event. We took our guys up to the bluff and our traditional steak dinner at the Freight House.

By Mike Ramczyk sports@lakegenevanews.net WAUWATOSA The Big Foot/ Williams Bay girls soccer squad was riding high. The Lady Chief Dogs entered Saturdays WIAA Division II regional final against fourth-seeded Milwaukee Pius XI on a 16-game win streak. The Rock Valley Conference champions, who put together one of the best regular seasons in school history, were determined to prove they were for real against Pius, a perennial powerhouse. Big Foot came out strong but couldnt penetrate Pius stingy defense. By the second half, the Lady Chiefs ran out of gas and eventually lost, 1-0, at the Wisconsin Lutheran Athletic Complex. We came out and dominated early, Big Foot coach Annie Isham said. We controlled the ball for the first 20 minutes or so. We had some nice opportunities. But in the first half, Big Foots momentum was thwarted when Ali Mazur caught a ball to the nose. Mazur was replaced on defense by midfielder Schyler Isham. Annie Isham said the switch interrupted the teams flow. They got back at us, Annie Isham said. Fatigue was a big factor. We just dont have the bench. I couldnt rest my key players, and they were getting tired.

unearned run caused by a Nate Freytag error at shortstop. Down 5-2 in the top of the fourth, Big Foot made its strongest case for a comeback. First, Long scored on a Carter Hehr RBI single to make it 5-3, and then Alex Landers ground ball trickled under the third basemans legs. Brian Wolski crossed the plate, and Big Foot was within one run. Morris took down the Crimson Tide 1-2-3 in the bottom of the frame, but the Chiefs couldnt continue the momentum in the fifth. At the bottom of the fifth, Edgerton took control. The leadoff batter popped up to third baseman Billy Landers, but he misjudged the ball and the runner advanced to second base. The next batter, Stephan Gausman, crushed the first pitch he saw over the left-field fence to give the Crimson Tide a commanding 7-4 lead. The wind was blowing out and temperatures were in the 80s, so balls were jumping off bats. Big Foots offense went silent the rest of the game, as Edgerton relief pitcher Sutton Devoll struck out two and allowed no hits in the final three innings. After the game, Bochat implored the underclassmen to learn from this loss. Remember the seniors faces, he said. I hope that burns in your minds. Big Foot was held to only four hits in the game, with one each from Hehr, Zak Greco, Wolski and Austin Hoey. Since Hoey, the staff ace, pitched Tuesday against Beloit Turner and the previous Friday against Brodhead, he wasnt available to pitch Wednesday. Billy Landers, who hadnt pitched since May 17, showed considerable rust, allowing three earned runs on five hits in 1 2/3 innings. Morris allowed one earned run in 4 1/3 innings on two hits.

EDGERTON The better teams going home. These were the words of Big Foot baseball coach Steve Bochat moments after his teams 7-4 loss at Edgerton in a WIAA Division II regional final Wednesday night. Sure, Edgerton is ranked No. 4 in the state in DII and boasts an 182 record, but Bochat was referring to his teams five errors, which led to three unearned runs. You cant give a team five or six outs, Bochat said to his players, several of whom broke down in tears knowing the season was over. Big Foot finished its season 15-10 and reached its third straight regional final. The 15 wins were the most in Bochats five-year Big Foot career. The Chiefs found themselves in an early hole and trailed the entire game. After the Crimson Tide took a 1-0 lead on an error in the second inning, Billy Landers allowed a single up the middle, which increased Edgertons lead to 2-0. In the bottom of the second inning, after a walk, Brennon Deegan smashed a home run to give Edgerton a 4-1 lead. Big Foot junior Brett Morris relieved Landers after only 1 2/3 innings and got out of the second without any further damage. In the top of the third, Alex Landers reached first base on an error, which scored pinch-runner Tim Long and cut the lead to 4-2. Morris cruised on the mound in the third and fourth innings, minus an

Badger wins rst regional since 2008

By Mike Ramczyk sports@lakegenevanews.net The starting center elder was out with a broken leg. The starting shortstop was playing center eld. And there was a 30-minute delay because of severe weather. But the Badger baseball team fortunately had two constants working in its favor May 30 against Burlington Colton Andresens pitching and Mitch Jensens clutch hitting. In a WIAA Division I regional nal at Jonas Field in Lake Geneva, Jensens tworun single in the bottom of the fth proved to be the game-winner in a 3-2 victory over the Demons. It was the rst playoff win and regional title since 2008 for Badger. Andresen picked up the complete game victory, allowing two runs and striking out four while scattering seven hits. Badger was without center elder and No. 2 pitcher Travis Stahulak, who broke his leg in a freak accident during practice last Friday. Also, starting outelder Trent Bobula was out. So shortstop Eric Skipper moved to center, Jensen moved to short from third base, Gunner Losch started at third and Tom Ritzman started in left eld. To make things even more unusual, the game was delayed due to severe weather with one out in the bottom of the sixth and Badger leading, 3-2. Play resumed 30 minutes later, and Andresen had to battle to nish Burlington. In the top of the seventh, he gave up a hit and had runners on rst and second with two outs. But Andresen forced Dane Helnore to bounce back to his tail off. I cant believe Friend came back with another fastball after throwing two in a row, Jensen said of his game-winning hit. For a second, I though the right elder was going to catch it. I try to protect with two strikes. We have been working with each other since second grade, and for it to come together our senior year, it feels great. It was a back-and-forth chess match between the two conference rivals. Burlington scored on a throwing error to make it 1-0 in the top of the rst. Jensen answered with an RBI single in the bottom of the frame that plated Andresen, knotting things at 1-1. Andresen allowed a bases-loaded walk in the fth to give the Demons a 2-1 advantage, but it sparked Badger. In the bottom of the fth, Denecke led off with a swinging bunt down the third-base line. Krien followed that with a line shot down the left-eld line, putting runners on rst and second. With two outs, Jonah Zeinert worked the count and walked to load the bases. Jensen then came through with his second and third RBIs of the game. He leads the team with 19 RBIs this season. Were all in this together, and the pact that we have is going to carry us through, Jensen said. It was Zweifels rst playoff win in his ve seasons. Im just happy for the seniors, he said. We have a lot of three-year starters, and they were on that 2-22 team (2011). For them to win conference and go to sectionals, whatever happens from here is icing on the cake. Their legacy is cemented no matter what.

COLTON ANDRESEN struck out four in a complete-game performance. him, and the senior left-hander tossed the ball to rst to end the game. Andresen was excited to notch the rst playoff win of his career. The delay was tough, he said after the game. But my arm was feeling good. I was more calm that last inning because I knew the pressure was on them. It denitely means a lot to win. Jensen was down 1-2 in the count before his game-winning hit off Burlington starting pitcher Dylan Friend, who beat Badger earlier in the season. After weakly fouling off two pitches, Jensen blooped a single over the second basemans head. Derek Denecke scored from third, and Peter Krien hustled from second base and slid for the game-winning run. Jensen, a senior who is hitting .358, has come through with big hits all season. All year long, Mitch has always found a way, Badger coach Aaron Zweifel said. He has driven in big run after big run every time. I wasnt worried because this is what Mitch does, gets clutch hits in clutch situations. Im happy for him. He was worked

Big Foots Kolnik victorious at state

By Mike Ramczyk sports@lakegenevanews.net MADISON Adam Kolnik and Seb Lauterbach traveled to last weekends WIAA state tennis tournament with high hopes. Both Big Foot/Williams Bay juniors were playing in the singles division at state for the rst time, and both had goals of playing at least several matches. Though that didnt happen, the two sectional champions held their own against some stiff competition. Kolnik, a three-time state qualier, started out May 31 against Newman Catholics Jose Lorrain, winning 4-6, 6-0 (6). After falling in the rst set, Kolnik adjusted his game, rolling a few more shots instead of hitting them at. He exploited Lorrains weakness, which was his backhand, and dominated, 6-0. When he mixed up his shots and focused on the other kids weakness, he did well, said Big Foot coach Jim Karedes. In the tie-breaker, Adams experience proved to be too much. In the second round, however, Kolnik ran into defending Division II singles state champion, Zane Navratil of Racine Prairie. Navratil won, 6-1, 6-1, and eventually went on to repeat as state champion. Adam played extremely well, but made more errors than Zane, Karedes said. For Adam to nish in the top 16, we are very proud of his efforts. Lauterbach lost in his only match to Shorewoods Tim Perry, 6-3, 6-0. Lauterbach, a two-time state qualier, was a little off with his stroke. He over-hit the ball too frequently, and ultimately, that cost him the match, Karedes said. It was too bad that the draw placed Seb where he was. He wasnt lucky with his draw. He does, however, have another year to make a run at a championship. Kolnik nished the season 22-4, and Lauterbach was 18-5. It was the rst time in school history with two sectional champions. They were both fantastic and represented Big Foot/Williams Bay tennis excellently, Karedes said. Kolnik and Lauterbach were already voted by their teammates as captains next season. Karedes said both athletes must keep playing in the offseason and work hard to get back to state as seniors. The dynamic 1-2 punch will lead a starting lineup of 10 players who will be back next season. This years squad was one game out of a conference title during the regular season. I love the direction were headed, Karedes said. Knowing that were returning our entire team next year, we need to nish at the top again.

Lady Badgers bow out in regional nal

By Mike Ramczyk sports@lakegenevanews.net RACINE After losing two conference players of the year, some may not have expected the Badger girls soccer team to repeat its stellar 2012 campaign. But after almost pulling off a conference title a couple weeks ago and overcoming injuries and illnesses throughout the season, the Lady Badgers had a chance to advance to sectionals for the second straight season Saturday afternoon. However, the host Racine Horlick Rebels, the No. 2 seed, had other ideas. Horlick imposed its physical dominance and cruised to a 3-0 victory behind two rst-half goals. Badger nished its season 12-8. Badger coach Ross Fowler said the slow start was detrimental to his club. We did not play exceptionally well in the rst half, he said. They scored early and then we had some chances to equalize but couldnt put it away. I am not sure if we were nervous or not, but we didnt play to our level. Horlick jumped out right away with a goal in the third minute. The Rebels scored again in the 31st minute. In the second half, despite improved effort from the Badgers, Horlick took control with a goal in the 54th minute. I think we played much better in the second half, Fowler said. The effort was there for us and again we had some chances to get back in the game, but werent able to nd the back of the net. Horlick is a very good team and they nished when they had the opportunity. I think that was the big difference in the game. Fowler said Badger fell short of its goal of a conference title this season, but he is proud of the way his team persevered. I feel OK about our season, he said. I think we were very successful. Not too many people predicted us to challenge for the conference title. We had to shift our lineup pretty much on a game-to-game basis due to injury or illness. This was a crazy spring season. Badger must say goodbye to seniors Lily Fisher, Michaela Mancini, Stephanie Espinosa, Tracy Mulligan, Whitney Aranda and Taylar Keenan. Fowler said the seniors have meant a lot to Badger soccer. He is excited about the future. We have a lot of young talent in the program, and there are many things to look forward to, he said.

BIG FOOT SENIORS MOLLY KOVARIK, LEFT, AND MAGGIE KIVLIN ght back tears after their high school careers came to an end Saturday. Pius goal may have been a result of that fatigue. Houstan Vassel dribbled past a couple Big Foot defenders and crossed the ball to Brenna Sibley in the middle of the eld about 15 yards out. A wide-open Sibley kicked a slow dribbler toward the left corner of the net, and Big Foot goalie Natalie Boldger couldnt stop it in time. We didnt get back and cover, Annie Isham said of the goal. We missed a mark. Annie Isham said Pius used a good defensive wall and was well-organized, which stymied Big Foots offense. Pius was well-balanced and patient, she said. We were having trouble getting passes to utilize our speed. Literally, we ran out of gas.

Give back free parking to farmers market

What would Andy do? I asked that question last summer when the city was simmering with debate over everything from swimming dogs to hot dog stands. If youre older than 40 or watch TV reruns, you know Andy Taylor, the character played by Andy Griffith. Andy was the sheriff of the fictional TV town called Mayberry where everything seemed to work out because of Andys uncommonly-good common sense. I started wondering how Andy would view the recent decision by the city council to charge for parking at the Lake Geneva farmers market. The market is as much a sign of spring as the launching of the Gage boats from the Riviera or the installation of piers on Geneva Lake. But now this bit of Mayberry-like charm has lost its luster thanks to the councils decision to discontinue the long-standing practice of allowing free parking for this local tradition. Part of the rationale for charging at the meters was based on the assumption that something like $1,500 would be lost every week by not charging. Wrong. You cant lose what you never had. Except for a couple weeks a year, visitors simply dont park that far north on Broad Street on Thursday mornings, so its not like anyone would be paying for those spots anyway. True, the city is making more money by charging. Still, its parking fund is hardly in dire straits. The city netted $525,406 in 2012. In 2010, it made a profit of $451,143. In 2011 it was $475 584. Should we be tarnishing a local tradition for a few extra dollars for an already lucrative enterprise? The kiosks already have a bad rap. Some of the complaining is unwarranted. But do the kiosks really need another image issue? Youd think the city would be able to afford to give the farmers market free parking for four hours a week. There are some who argue that the In the case of the Lions raffle, no one farmers market could move to another was hurt because no other organization location, like Dunn Field, where parking had asked for a similar privilege and the isnt an issue. city wasnt out any money because the Maybe so.

Senior year lasts

Editors note: Nicole Johnson is one of the four valedictorians at Badger High School this year. She read the following poem at the graduation ceremony. By Nicole Johnson Last Game; Cheering fades and the action slows. Johnson Lights die down and the audience goes. As players look back at the field once more, Flashbacks of moments in victory soar. Last Dance; Songs mesh together and time is forgotten. Post-prom plans have everyone talkin. As the tempo slows and the mood starts to drop, Dancing students pray the music wont stop. Last Day; Tests are completed and yearbooks are signed. Everyone relaxes and starts to unwind. As seniors walk the halls for the very last time, Thoughts of uncertainty - their only crime. Last Class; Final moments of the period drag by. Attention is gone and excitement runs high. As classmates anticipate the sound of the bell, Reality hits and mixed emotions swell. Last Goodbye; Tears flow and departing words are exchanged. Everything once known is about to be changed. As we turn to reflect on the memories behind, Decisions are questioned and doubts fill our mind. While every new last spurs thoughts of the worst, Each of these lasts brings about a new first.

Our wonderful donors responded with their generosity, matching the second grant as well. This matching grant enabled us to provide $20,000 in assistance to our struggling fellow Americans. Your donations, combined with The Summertime Foundations matching funds, prevented many poverty stricken from experiencing homelessness, loss of transportation, lack of utilities, hunger, and other daily necessities for our fellow creations. Thank you for your continued support of our mission The Time Is Now to Help and thank you for caring and sharing. Together we have eased the pains of poverty for many in desperate need. God bless you for helping. to breathe easier knowing they would not be facing homelessness. Your donations, matched by The Summertime Foundation, provided this much needed support. There are so many different reasons for homelessness; job loss, illness, accidents, disabilities, loss of spouse, etc. We have seen every reason and wrote many columns concerning them. Together, our compassionate caring and sharing is what prevented these people from experiencing the horror and shame of living in a car or on the streets. If we were not there to provide this service to our fellow creations they would not have the comfort of a bed and roof over their heads. God bless all of you for allowing us to continue our good works to prevent homelessness.

Utilities = $4,150 Gas = $1,950 + Electric = $2,200

We have seen so many young people struggling with such tragic illnesses and disabilities. We have written letters about a few of them already; kidney disease, cancer, bone disorders... It seems we are seeing more severe diseases at younger ages. The tragedy of having to choose either your treatment or your utilities should not be part of managing your illness, but sadly it is. I continue to see people of all ages choose to skip medications in order to pay their utilities. I continue to see children living in homes without hot water or lights. It is a reality throughout our communities and our great nation. Together, we are removing the pains of poverty with our care, compassion and help. PLEASE SEE TIME IS NOW PAGE 4D

How to honor our ag properly

To the Editor:
Businesswomen and men of Lake Geneva I spent ve days on the corners of Main and Broad streets taking donations for poppies, with 100 percent of proceeds going to our disabled and hospitalized veterans. Lake Geneva hosted a very friendly, courteous mixed group of tourists. Of course, along with the good comes the bad. I had many complaints about several of our businesses displaying the American ag inappropriately mannikins draped with ags as a dress, a ag used as a tablecloth and used as a backdrop to place items on. I asked one store owner to read the regulations on the use of the ag and then asked her to please remove the offensive display. I was told she could do as she pleased. The ag etiquette follows. The ag should not be used as a drapery, or covering a speakers desk, draping a platform or for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for this purpose! It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or the halyard. The ag should not be used as part of a costumer or athletic uniform, except that a ag patch may be used on uniforms of military personnel, remen, policemen and member of patriotic organizations. At the Memorial Day parade, again respect was not shown for our national ag. When carried in a procession, the ag should be on the right of the marchers. When the ag passes in a procession, or when it is hoisted or lowered, all should stand, face the ag and salute. To salute, all persons come to attention. Those in uniform give the appropriate formal salute. Citizens not in uniform salute by placing their right hand over the heart and men remove all headgear and place it on the left shoulder, hand on the heart. When the Pledge of Allegiance is said, all stand at attention, facing the ag and saluting. When the national anthem is played or sung, citizens should stand at attention and salute at the rst note and hold the salute through the last note. The salute is to the ag. Again the bad, as people did not remove hats, did not salute and stood around laughing and talking no respect. What has happened to our respect for the greatest nation on earth? Are the schools not starting their days with the pledge so the children will learn and, if the parents dont know, the children can teach them. Organizations, do you start your meeting with the pledge? On and on and on. Memorial Day is a national holiday to remember all those who gave their lives to dene our freedom and so we may walk the streets of Gods given country in peace. Please respect our national ag! May God continue to bless our wonderful country. Barb Braden Lake Geneva

HISTORY

Picturing Lake Geneva homes from inside and out

A labor of love
Ed Hettinger has a two-sided business card. One touts his credentials as an architect. The other, his book publishing talents. Those two talents are one in the same when it comes to his Distinctive American Homes books. The latest of those books highlights Lake Geneva. Its a lush, coffee table book currently available at the Cornerstone Shop & Gallery. Many of us have seen the outside of Geneva Lakes great homes, but few have been lucky enough to peak inside. Thats the surprise inside Distinctive Homes of America, Volume IV, Lake Geneva. Among the homes photographed inside and out for the book were the Stone Manor, Summerwood, the Driehaus Estate, the Frank Lloyd Wright style Koranda Home, Whispering Oaks Lodge, Evergreen and the Expect a Miracle house. There are 56 homes in all. Why was Lake Geneva chosen as a location for his latest book? Its a beautiful community that has a wide variety of distinctive homes, he wrote in a forward to the book. Hettinger took 575 photos for the book and the other 125 were contributed by other photographers. A project like Distinctive Homes was always on Hettingers bucket list, he said during a book signing at the Cornerstone. Its a labor of love, he said, noting its something hed want to do whether he got paid for it or not.

Taking a closer look at assistance programs

One of the Legislatures primary goals is to save taxpayer dollars by reducing fraud, waste, and abuse within government programs or state agencies. By focusing on such fraud, we can lessen the tax burden on individuals, while at the same time, allow taxpayerfunded programs to be used by people with the greatest need for assistance. Wisconsins FoodShare program is one government program which can be a lifeline to those in need. FoodShare, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), is Wisconsins program providing food benets to low-income families and individuals. As of January of last year, more than 58 percent of recipients were children, disabled, or older than age 59. FoodShare benets are distributed as cash assistance, which is accessed with stateissued debit cards. While the majority of FoodShare participants adhere to program requirements, the program has had some red ags. In 2011, a Milwaukee news station found recipients trading FoodShare benet cards for cash. Similarly, a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story reported in depth on FoodShare benet cards being trafcked on Web sites like Facebook. Last year, a Legislative Audit Bureau audit found 22 assistance groups (an assistance group includes all members of a household) had received 10 or more permanent replacement cards in the span of a year. The audit found 21 of these 22 assistance groups had been issued a total of 86 replacement cards at the time their accounts had balances of less than one dollar, and noted the possible indication that these cards were being sold for cash. In response to the legislative audit, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), which administers FoodShare, detailed measures it has taken to comply with its ndings and recommendations. trolled substances for SNAP benets; and anyone who resells food purchased with SNAP benets. With passage complete in both Houses, AB 82 now awaits the anticipated signature of the Governor. Another bill, Assembly Bill 110, would require FoodShare recipients to select healthier food options with their taxpayer-funded benets. The bill would require FoodShare recipients to spend two-thirds of their benets on foods that meet nutrition standards outlined in the federal governments Women, Infants, and Children program along with beef, pork, chicken, sh, and fresh produce. Wisconsin citizens deserve to know their tax dollars are spent in a responsible manner. Requiring program participants to spend two thirds of their benets on healthy food will make the program work the way it was intended, and may even help ght obesity-related disease. AB 110 has passed the Assembly, and now awaits potential action in the Senate. The Legislature and state agencies have taken a number steps in regards to the FoodShare program to help improve accountability, strengthen the program, and save taxpayer dollars. By doing so, we can ensure taxpayer money is used wisely and the program is able to serve those who need assistance the most. Senator Kedzie can be reached in Madison at P.O. Box 7882, Madison, WI 53707-7882 or by calling toll-free 1 (800) 578-1457. He may be reached in the district at (262) 742-2025 or online at www.senatorkedzie.com

Among its recent actions, the Department has begun sending letters to assistance groups who request at least six replacement cards in a 12month period which inform them that their account is being monitored. This action is modeled after a similar policy in North Carolina, where it has shown to be effective. In fact, in that state, only 121 assistance groups out of 1,144 who received the letter in an 11month period continued to request replacement cards. Additionally, the DHS reports its new Fraud Prevention and Investigation Program has focused on increasing investigations and more promptly disqualifying individuals from the FoodShare program who intentionally violate program rules. In the last legislative session, the fraud program identied $14 million in cost savings, including the FoodShare program. This session, both the Assembly and Senate passed Assembly Bill 82, making it illegal to trade or sell food stamps for anything of value. Current law provides penalties for various offenses related to SNAP, including: misleading or fraudulent statements on a SNAP application; failing to report changes in income or assets as required by federal law; transferring SNAP benets for a purpose other than purchasing food; and issuing SNAP benets to a person who is not eligible to receive the benets. Assembly Bill 82 adds trafcking SNAP benets to the list of offenses subject to penalty. That would include anyone who buys, steals, or sells SNAP benets for cash; anyone who exchanges rearms, ammunition, or con-

As the city grows up, it ought to see what traditions are worthy of nurturing instead of hurting them under the guise of consistency. If there are other organizations that want similar privileges, deal with them as the situation merits. Thered be a variety of options at that point, but why preordain something that will only cause difficulties for the current organizations? Instead of letting the rules run the city, a truly mature government considers each situation. Andy Taylor would say let well enough alone, value our traditions and do as little harm as possible.

Making sense of budgeting

The other half of the story
In the last column that I wrote about accountants, I was only able to tell half of the story. That piece recounted the annual takeover of the government center by accountants who were there to prepare our 2012 audit. Space prevented me from relating the rest of our accounting experience in April, which included a visit from our indirect cost consultant. The term indirect costs refers to the myriad of calculations that are made in county government on a daily basis to make sure we are accurately reecting the true cost of providing certain programs. Knowing our indirect costs improves the transparency of our budget and ensures that the appropriate taxpayers are paying their correct share of the cost of running programs. The collection of child support, which is accomplished through our Health and Human Services Department, is one of many programs that we provide that illustrates this concept. Within certain limits, our county is reimbursed for its collection efforts by the federal government. At least two different sets of stakeholders, therefore, have an interest in making sure that we are charging for the true cost of providing the service. The federal government doesnt want to overpay us for our work. Less obvious, however, are the impacts of these timing. In any case, while we were showing one set of accountants last years books, we were working with another one to prove that our indirect charges were reasonable. As the example above illustrates, the calculation of indirect costs can be a tedious process on a good day. The consultant who was helping us this year, however, had a passion for the topic that may be unparalleled in this esoteric eld. As he explained to us, he had devoted the last 40 years of his life to calculating indirect costs. While the eyes of most people glaze over when the topic of indirect costs is mentioned, this fellow became absolutely animated when I asked him if there was any way to calculate the cost of storing and retrieving a single electronic document on our computer system. In the twenty-minute discourse that followed, I learned that such a calculation is possible and, indeed, imperative to make. He shared with us a few of his war stories over the years, such as what happens when documentation regarding indirect costs is lacking. In such cases, bad data contained in just a few expense categories can lead to the entire reimbursement being rejected. He also recounted a few examples that he had seen over the years of other government agencies pushing the limits on reimbursement rules. In one case, sheriffs deputies approaching retirement were assigned to work in their countys child support agency during their last year of service. Although they may have spent their entire careers performing other law enforcement duties, that particular county charged their entire retirement cost to the child support agency; in essence, having federal taxpayers foot the bill. Im not sure how that case turned out, but I would denitely not want to have to try to justify such a practice to federal auditors. While county managers see the point of maximizing state and federal revenues through the recovery of indirect costs, many are less than enthused about the impact of this kind of complete accounting when such costs are not offset with other revenue. Interdepartmental charges are a cousin of indirect cost accounting. They occur when one county department charges another for providing a service to it. The classic example, but by no means the only one, is the cost of a simple oil change. Those departments that operate cars and trucks, for example, are charged by our public works department for the actual cost of the service. This includes not only the oil and lter, but the hourly rate of the mechanic, including fringe benets as well as a proportionate share of shop overhead. All of these charges make the oil change more expensive than a trip to the local Five-Minute Oil Change and raise some interesting issues. An even more distant relative is central purchasing. We hold departments captive to using certain purchased services, like janitorial services, cell phones and internet service, rather than allowing them to shop around and make their own deals. My next, and I promise last, accounting column of the year will cover these two topics in more detail. The opinions expressed in this column are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Walworth County Board of Supervisors.

programs on local taxpayers. County property taxpayers have an interest in making sure that we send as complete a bill as possible to the feds. The most obvious expenses are the wages of child support enforcement workers. Benets paid to those employees, such as health insurance and pension contributions, are also costs of their labor and passed on as well. These expenses, however, are just the tip of the accounting iceberg. County taxpayers provide ofce space, heat, light and telephones. A proportionate share of these expenses is fair game for reimbursement, as is the time spent by other departments in connection with child support operations. Workers in our nance department support their payroll, central services processes purchase orders, information technology keeps their computer systems running, and the list goes on. Im really not sure if the appearance of the indirect cost guy was supposed to coincide with the auditors or whether it was just bad

Author doing book signings

Robb Chase says hes a man who cant sit still. Hes lived in Walworth County for the last eight years, but spent much of his life traveling, hitchhiking cross country several times. But somehow hes stayed still long enough to write ve books. His latest is Dragon Queen. It is the continuation of the lives of characters and a world he created in the fantasy/ mythology realm. I created new characters for this one and although they are ctional depictions of life in a different world, I use that as a backdrop to tell realistic stories that could happen anywhere, he said. Dragon Queen is a fantasy/mythology adventure with the gods in constant conict. He started writing when he got out of the Army in 1983. Ive always loved telling stories ever since I was a child, Chase said. Id make up adventures putting my younger sister, nephew and other neighborhood friends in the roles. I feel I have a voice and should exercise it either orally or through the written word. It is who I am. Chase will have three book signings in the area at these locations: 332 Fellows Tavern on 332 Fellows Drive in Genoa City, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., June 9; Genoa City Retirement and Assisted Living rummage sale on 1201 Hwy H from noon to 4, June 15 and The Breadloaf bookstore, 727 Geneva St., Lake Geneva, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on June 14. On the back of his book is a phrase that emphasizes what Chase believes: All too often we focus on the dust of difference in our fellow man, ignoring the mountain of commonality.

id Frank Lloyd Wright design it? says just about everyone upon seeing the prairie-style building for the rst time. Whether you think its blocking the view of Geneva Lake or adding to the beauty of the landscape is a matter of opinion. The librarys location and architecture are a matter of historical record, and a result of a number of key players. Frank Lloyd Wright is one of them, but only indirectly. James Dresser, who studied with Wright at Taliesin, is the man who designed the library that overlooks Geneva Lake to the south and Main Street to the north. The land was given to the city by Mary Sturges, along with her cottage, which served as the library until it was razed to make way for the new structure. It sounds simple enough, but the process wasnt easy. In 1944, Mrs. Mary Gridley Bell bequeathed $100,000 to the city to buy land and construct a new library. By 1946, plans for a colonial structure had been drawn up and the current librarian was poised to box up the books at the old Sturges cottage and await the change. There was a delay. Committees met. More delays. And from the time that the plans for the Monticello-style structure were created to the time that every commitee member had their says, Frank Lloyd Wrights architectural style was thoroughly esconced in the Midwests collective consciousness. Dresser was given the go ahead to create a

building that, unlike Wrights Lake Geneva Hotel, still graces the citys downtown. Since the building was dedicated in 1954, its seen more than a few changes locals might have noticed they no longer have to think about bumping their heads on the hanging boat-sized planter that once dominated the entryway In 1967, an addition was deemed necessary. The original librarians, and the ones who came after them, are gone. (Ethel Brann, head librarian from 1936 to 1968, is memorialized in both a painting that hangs near the historical section and on the grounds with a garden.) Other changes reect the difference in the way people seek and gather information from their libraries now. When the staff went to computerized collections les, the old card catalog drawers became obsolete. The library found a way to memorialize them and raise funds at the same time the old drawer faces are displayed in the entryway with donors names on plaques. And of course, the bookshelves, and the way the library lends material today, reect bigger changes but where there is room to grow, there is also room to remember. On Sunday, Dec. 12, 1954, the day the library was dedicated, the New York Times put out its weekly best-sellers list. Norman Vincent Peales The Power of Positive Thinking was number one in nonction. The top ctional book was Irving Stones Love is Eternal. The Bulls of Parral by Marguerite Steen was number

16. The Lake Geneva Public Library no doubt had a waiting list for these tomes. Today, the waiting list is as likely to be for a Kindle edition of The Hunger Games, but if you look on the shelves, youll still see a hard copy of The Power of Positive Thinking. True story. A Yerkes connection A bronze image of Shakespeares Ophelia calls the Smith Meeting Room in Lake Geneva Public Library home. The statue was the gift of George Van Biesbrock, a University of Chicago astronomy professor at Yerkes from 1915-1945. Van Biesbrocks father, a Belgian sculptor, created the statue of Ophelia at the beginning of the century. He then buried it on his property in Ghent, Belgium to keep it from being melted for ammunition during WWI. After the war ended in 1918, Ophelia was unearthed and eventually shipped to the U.S. after the younger Van Beisbrock immigrated. The statue, still with traces of Belgian soil clinging to it, stood in the professors Williams Bay house for years, until he donated it to the library. Van Biesbrocks career at Yerkes brought him together with physicist Albert Einstein on at least one occasion, and after he retired, he went on a solar eclipse photo shoot to Africa. The resulting images helped to prove Einsteins Theory of Relativity. Ophelia was on loan to the Questers Museum at Yerkes for years, but she is now back home at the library, along with her pedestal, which contains a package of Belgian soil. Like Lake Genevas Andy Gump and Three Graces statues, Ophelias history runs deeper than a simple donation to a public place. Story by Jessica Franzene

Prior to the construction of the Sturges cottage, large Native American efgy mounds in the shape of panthers occupied the library and park sites. The 1954 structure designed by architect James P. Dresser is in the Prairie Style, which led to the design of the ranch houses of today. There is an emphasis on horizontal lines, sloping overhangs, use of natural light and simple geometric patterns throughout the building. The Prairie School of architecture, made popular by many of the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright, ourished from the turn of the century to WWI. The style combines simplicity of Japanese art with a Midwest sense of connection to nature, especially open, undeveloped landscapes. Nearly ten years after the dedication of the library, a room was added to the east. Two more additions incorporating a reading area, magazine display and room for music and art materials were completed in 1970. Library Park was was once known as Elm Park. After the all elm trees died of disease, it was renamed Library Park.

FROM LAKE GENEVA IN VINTAGE POSTCARDS

THE STURGES FAMILY SUMMER COTTAGE served as the citys public library from 1894 until 1953. Mary Sturges, the owner of the home, designated the the building and two blocks of adjoining land to the City of Lake Geneva to be used forever as a public library and public park. The cottage was built by A.W. Farr in 1859. Prior to the gift of the site, Lake Geneva citizens read books in a reading room of the local YMCA. By 1953, the nearly 100-year-old building was no longer structurally viable or suited for the librarys growing collection of then, 17,000 books. Plans for a new structure on the site commenced, and the library was temporarily housed in Horticultural Hall while the Sturges cottage was razed. Mary Gridley Bell, a long-time Lake Geneva resident, nanced the construction of the new library with a donation of $100,000 in 1945.

Scherrer Construction planning fundraiser for 85th anniversary celebration
Anticipating an anniversary milestone at a business can be a huge source of pride and promotional opportunities for any company. The team at Scherrer Construction began planning last year for its 85th anniversary in 2013. As the planning evolved, one dominant goal was set. The goal was to give back to the community. We brainstormed many ideas on how to give back, President Jim Scherrer said. We talked about everything from increasing our community volunteer hours to hosting a major dinner/auction in December. While volunteer hours and event participation are up in 2013, the event that stuck was a trapshoot fundraiser. Planning for the Saturday, June 22 Trap Shoot Fundraiser, being held at the Burlington Conservation Club from 1 to 6 p.m., is well underway. We are pleased with the response so far and businesses have really stepped up to provide sponsorships, said Joe Ehlen, director of eld operations and facility services for Scherrer Construction. The Trap Shoot Fundraiser is open to the general public and will include, in addition to the shooting competition, pig roast dinner, silent auction, games and an afternoon of outdoor fun. All levels of shooters are welcome. Prizes will be given for top gun, middle of the pack and squirt gun. Practice rounds, instruction and gun rentals are available for new trap shooters. Additional information can be obtained by calling Joe Ehlen at (262) 206-0592 or at www. scherrerconstruction.com.

Affordable lakefront living on Geneva Lake

By Janis Hartley I know, its an oxymoron...affordable lakefront living, but the truth isyou can afford to live on Geneva Lake if youre ready to think outside the box. When the subject of lakefront living comes up, most of us tend to think about the glorious lakefront estates that dot the shores of Geneva Lake; but there are other opportunities for lakefront living if you know where to look. While nding a lakefront home priced at under $2,000,000 and in turn key condition, is less common than the larger, more impressive estates above that price point, heres a sampling of recently listed/recently sold lakefront properties: Built in 1901 and offering 3bd/2ba on 52 of level frontage in Williams Bay, 7 N. Walworth Avenue leads the pack at a nifty price of $1,299,900 On the north shore, and in move-in ready condition, W4275 Oriole Lane features a spacious, lakeside Florida room, hardwood oors, 51 of sandy, level frontage and 4 bedrooms/2 full baths. Listed at $1,495,000 this is an excellent value With an asking price of $1,995,000 563 N. Lakeshore Drive has views down the length of Geneva Lake and vintage, Tudor charm. Steps away N1905 N. Lakeshore Drive is priced at $1,989,000 and again offers splendid views, an elevated position, and loads of charm. During the past 12 months, 4 lakefront properties have sold for under $2,000,000 while several needed face lifts, the ability to purchase Geneva Lake frontage at this price point is an indication that the lakefront market is accessible. Now, Im not suggesting that lakefront living is inexpensive far from it but for those buyers who are looking to buy that rst lakefront home, it is possible to do so for less than it was in past years and for less than it will cost a year or two from now. And lets face it, theres nothing quite like living on the shore of one of the most beautiful lakes in Southeastern Wisconsin. In addition to purchasing a single family home, buyers may want to consider purchasing a lakefront/lakeview condominium . Bay Colony North and South, in Williams Bay, offer affordable lakefront living complete with a boat slip. Of course, theres always Vista Del Lago on the eastern shore, or the ultimate in lakefront condo living The South Shore Club, which sits on grounds of the former Northwestern Military Academy. Last year a lovely, 5 bedroom, 5 bath home sold here for $1,800,000 an excellent price for a move-in ready home, with lake views and the benets of an amenitylled lakefront community with marina, clubhouse and pool. Whether youre contemplating purchasing a lakefront property that will become a legacy to pass down to your children and grandchildren, or a modest, comfortable waterfront abode that bespeaks a simpler, calmer life, let Janis Hartley of Keefe Real Estate be your Geneva Lakefront resource and guide.
