Free dental care coming to Badger

By Chris Schultz cschultz@lakegenevanews.net Its enough to bring a smile. This Friday and Saturday, Badger High School, 220 E. South St., will house one of the largest if not the largest free dental clinics in the state of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Dental Associations Mission of Mercy will come here, offering free dental care to 2,000 patients on those two days, no strings attached. This will be the fth year of the program. The sports activity center of the school will become a temporary clinic of volunteer dentists, hygienists, assistants and lab technicians who will provide 1,000 patients a day with cleanings, llings, extractions, partial dentures and basic dental care on a rst-come, rst-served basis, said Dr. David Thompson, deputy director of Walworth Countys Health and Human Services Department. Thompson is on the MOM steering committee. The program will include oral health and dietary instruction, as well. He said there is a signicant problem for the uninsured to access dental care. A lot of people look at Walworth County and say, gee, its a high-income county, Thompson said. But there are many, some of whom work in low-wage service industry jobs, who dont have the money or the insurance to afford dental care, Thompson said. There are people with money and insurance, and things are ne for them, said Thompson. And there are people with no insurance and no money. But they all have teeth. About 250 dentists are among the 1,200 volunteers who will make the program happen, said Dr. Robert Dillman, a Lake Geneva dentist and one of the co-organizers of MOM for Walworth County. Dillman has been involved with other volunteer projects that have taken free dental care to those in need, and he has been working the Open Arms Clinic, Elkhorn, Walworth Countys only free health care clinic. To get in at the clinic, visitors will have to get there early. The doors open at 5:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. The clinic closes down at 5 p.m. Based on the previous four MOM events in Wisconsin, Dillman said organizers expect all 1,000 slots to be lled by 8 a.m. on the two days.

Council a bit slow, but carriage license renewed

By Chris Schultz cschultz@lakegenevanews.net The carriage rides will continue. Caroline Ausman, Burlington, owner of Field Stone Farm and the horse-drawn carriages that ply the citys streets, requested the council renew her license to continue operating the carriages in the city. And there was no indication that the city council was in any mood to deny her request. The license was set to expire June 30. At the June 10 city council meeting, Alderman Sturg Taggart said that the carriages, which move at about 3 mph, are responsible for occasional trafc slowdowns in the downtown. At Mondays meeting, Ausman defended her carriage drivers. She said carriages are kept between a foot and a foot and a half from the curb, when possible. Ausman said shed work with the city to do whatever it took to keep her carriages from causing too much of a delay on the city streets. She said her drivers have noticed that some timid drivers seem to be afraid to pass the carriages. But the drivers do wave cars around the carriages when its safe, Ausman said. In the last 10 years, we have had no accidents, Ausman told the council. My drivers do a good job getting through town during heavy trafc. The carriages operate in the city all year long. Taggart said he didnt intend his criticism of the horses speeds to mean that he opposed the carriages. He doesnt. Taggart made the motion to approve renewing Field Stone Farms carriage license. Alderwoman Sarah Hill then amended the motion that the carriages should carry a friendly sign on the back indicating to motorists that they can, with caution, pass the slow-moving carriages. City Attorney Dan Draper said the carriages already carry that sign. The slow vehicle signs, an orange triangle on white background, grants following vehicles the right to pass them when safe, even when the road or highway has a double yellow line, Draper said. Hill withdrew her amendment. Other council members said they were satised with the carriage operations in the city. Alderman Bill Mott called the carriages an asset for the downtown. Alderman Alan Kupsik said Ausman was ready to work

THE CITY COUNCIL renewed Field Stone Farms license to have horse-drawn carriages in the city. with the city to solve any problems the carriages might cause. I think we beat this horse to death, said Taggart, as he asked that the vote on the license be taken. Wonderful choice of words, Sturg, said Mayor Jim Connors, as he closed debate. The license renewal was unanimously approved.

Man guilty of murdering LG woman

RACINE The man who killed a beloved Lake Geneva woman more than two years ago has been convicted. Wilbert L. Thomas, 68, was found guilty Monday of rst-degree intentional homicide in the Oct. 14, 2010, beating and strangulation death of 67-year-old Sandra Lee Teichow. Racine County Circuit Judge Tim Boyle also found Thomas guilty of theft and two counts of bail jumping, according to the Racine Journal Times. Thomas, a convicted sex offender, didnt argue the murder charge, but told Boyle he didnt steal from Teichow, who had been handing out money to the needy in Racine the day she died. In a prepared statement, the family said, Sandra Lee Teichow was a Thomas humanitarian who was also a beloved family member, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a sister and an aunt. Her death due to an uncalled-for murderous act of rage caused so much pain and suffering for those who loved her. She is deeply missed to this day. Teichows body was found behind a home in the 1300 block of West Sixth St., Racine, after one of the homeowners stepped outside to shake out a rug. A Racine police investigator testied during the trial that it appeared Teichows body had been posed. An image on a camera left next to her helped lead police to Thomas. The next phase of the trial will determine Thomas mental health at the time of the slaying. Boyle set a status conference for July 22. Assistant District Attorney Robert Repischak said its likely Thomas will spend the rest of his life institutionalized either in prison or in a mental hospital. Teichow had spent much of the last several years helping others teaching students in places as far away as Bosnia, collecting shoes for Guatemalan children and leading a group that built brick houses in Nicaragua. She was born July 17, 1943, in Racine, to parents Peter and Irene Fall Heinisch. She married Dennis A. Teichow on June 26, 1999, in Bristol. For several years, Teichow operated her own business of putting together antique cookbooks with old photos and recipes, her obituary stated. She also taught at Gateway Technical College in Elkhorn. In the past 10 years, she had taught several times in Eastern Europe. She had a zest for life and a constantly upbeat outlook that endeared her to everyone she met, her obituary said. She was the wife, mother, grandmother and friend that everybody wants.

Resort tax effort gearing up slowly

By Chris Schultz cschultz@lakegenevanews.net It will probably be another year before Lake Geneva can consider getting state recognition as a premier resort area. Alderwoman Sarah Hill, who chairs the Lake Geneva City Councils Finance, License and Regulation Committee, said further discussion about applying for the designation will have to wait while the citys convention and visitors bureau (CVB) board awaits a new chairman. Brett Sundstrom, general manager at the Grand Geneva Resort is leaving his position there for a position with Marcus Corp., Hill said. Marcus Corp. owns Grand Geneva. Traditionally, the Grand Geneva manager has chaired the CVB board, Hill said. So the board will have to wait for the new Grand Geneva general manager to be named, she said. Not that it matters. With the states new budget bill approved by the state Legislature and awaiting review by Gov. Scott Walker, the city will have to wait until the next legislative cycle to make its case. Being named a premier resort area would give the city authority to levy a halfpercent sales tax on a wide variety of tourism-related retail businesses. However, that tax can only be levied if approved by referendum. Hill said that the state premier resort tax law, although open to all communities, appears to have been carefully crafted to apply to only Lake Delton and Wisconsin Dells. By law, only those communities with 40 percent of their assessed valuation in tourism related businesses are immediately eligible to be named premier resort communities. Only Lake Delton and Wisconsin Dells t that description. Those two communities approved the special sales tax in 1998. Over the years, however, state legislators have advanced selected communities as premier resort areas. City Administrator Dennis Jordan said the half-percent sales tax could generate an additional $500,000 to $600,000 for the city, while 1 percent might bring in $1 million or more. Both Lake Delton and the Dells were allowed by the legislature to increase their sales taxes to 1 percent, with voter approval. Using the legislative route, four more communities, Bayeld, Eagle River, Ephraim and Sister Bay, have acquired permission to apply the premier resort sales tax with voter approval. Bayeld enacted its premier resort tax in January 2003. Eagle River enacted its tax in October 2006. In a May 30 letter to Gov. Scott Walker, Mayor Jim Connors asked for his assistance in getting Lake Geneva on the premier resort tax list. Although near the epicenter of the tourism business that has Walworth County ranking sixth in the state in generating tourism dollars, Lake Geneva doesnt qualify for the tax under state law, and its local state lawmakers seem reluctant to recom-

Small village may get resort designation

Lake Geneva will probably not get on this years list of premier resort tax areas. But Stockholm, Wis. has a good chance. Located about 60 miles southwest of St. Paul, Minn., on a bluff on Lake Pepin in western Wisconsin, the little village had a 2010 census of 66 residents. The village is part of a special section of the states biennial budget now on the governors desk. The community was founded in 1851 by Swedish immigrants. It reached its peak population of 280 in 1868. In 1886, the railroad connected Stockholm to other villages on both sides of the Mississippi River. After World War I, the population began to dwindle. After World War II ight to the cities mend the city to the state Legislature for consideration, Connors wrote. According to Connors letter, the closest Lake Geneva came to qualifying was in 2006, when a review of the citys businesses found 34.6 percent of its assessed valuation involved in tourism retail. Increases in assessments, primarand the loss of its railroad nearly took Stockholm off the map. However, starting in the 1970s, artists and urban outsiders, drawn by the nearly unspoiled beauty of the area, began to trickle back into the village, restoring businesses and homes. With storefronts restored, Stockholm has a thriving arts community, and the population swells with tourists in the summer. The village hosts annual art fairs and regular art tours and gallery walks. The businesses are focused around crafts-style merchandise. Visitors are treated to Scandanavian food, bakery made from scratch, galleries of local art and seasonal festivals. (Information from the Minneapolis Tribune website.) ily in residential, over the next two years, dropped that percentage to 26 percent. Hill said it was encouraging to know that Lake Genevas economy is diversied, but theres no doubt that tourism is an important part of the citys economy. I dont think theres a question that were a resort destination, said Hill.

near a quilt stitched with images of historical village scenes, such as the old Genoa Junction train station, in the meeting room. These problems are nothing new, Karen Bullock said the village trustee chairing the committee seeking a solution to these and more problems during a Friday phone interview. In addition to the cramped space in the hall shared by most of the villages departments and the structural problems, the Village Hall Committees efforts are now plagued by rumors. One of the major fallacies surrounding the issue, Bullock said, is that the village is building a new hall. That hasnt been decided yet, she said. But there are enough current issues with this building that to not do anything would be irresponsible, Bullock said. Is she feeding into those rumors with such a statement? Perhaps. Previously, Bullock and Village President Bill Antti have said similar things in public. Bullock said they also have discussed possible scenarios to solve the space and repair problems with the village hall openly, and that may have added fuel to the re. But she also said a solution may not be to build a new hall. During a March interview, she said other solutions may be to purchase another building in the village, or to repair the existing one. So far, the only ofcial decision related to the village hall issue by the board, since it created the subcommittee last fall, was to hire Jon Wallenkamp, of Kueny Architects, Pleasant Prairie. On June 13, the board approved paying between $2,500 and $5,000 for Wallenkamp to study the building, the departments working in it and assess the needs of staff and the community. That is really the rst expense item of this project, Bullock said. We expect a report back from him at the end of July. Why hire an architect? Up until this point, the efforts of the last seven months have been made by laypeople, Bullock said. Weve gone through a process to determine our needs, which now require expert help. She emphasized the seriousness of the situation, which she said one person recently told her is like wanting to get rid of a house because of not liking its color. Thats an oversimplication of whats going on here, she said. As for the dead rodents in the wall, Bullock said people, including village employees, have complained about the stink. The solution has been to turn up the air conditioning, she said. The ticking clock The thing is, as the architects study is ongoing, so are the committees interviews of other architectural rms, which may be feeding one of the other major rumors Bullock identied Friday that the village board is trying to push a building project through as quickly as possible. So how do you say youre not trying to push a project through while youre interviewing architects before the completion of a study likely to determine what course of action ofcials will take with the village hall? Bullock said time is a factor. If the village needs to implement a building project, she said the idea is to do so when the tax rate will be low. Thats why her committee is interviewing architects. Should the program study indicate a need for a project, and the board decide to move in that direction, the committee will be able to recommend an architect for the job. Another rumor, according to Bullock, is that a village hall project will increase the village tax rate. Were very cognizant of peoples concerns over taxes, Bullock said. She said there have been public discussions at village

TO CATCH WATER leaking in from the roof of the village hall last spring required a variety of containers strategically placed along the window sill. This isnt the only leak in the roof of the hall, according to Karen Bullock, trustee and chairwoman of the Village Hall Committee. board meetings well before the creation of the committee about doing something with the village hall. But what pushed it forward was the closure of the villages Tax Incremental Financing district, or TID. The TID was created in 1997 as a way to fund infrastructure improvements. In a May interview, Antti said property tax revenue within the TID went to pay off the $6 million loan that was borrowed to implement these improvements. That revenue could not be used to support the villages general fund, which pays for most municipal services. Almost half the village 44 percent was in the TID. The silver lining: The TID closes in 2014, and a village tax rate decrease is in the forecast. Bullock said she is concerned with completing a plan so that the timing of a village hall project coincides with the closure of the TID. She also said she is concerned about starting a project later than that. Bullock said she doesnt want to see the village tax rate go down because of the TID payoff, then see it increase in the next year to fund the village hall project. Were trying to handle the nancial aspect of this project in a really responsible manner, she said. Bullock said she wants to see a tax decrease that sticks, not just a one-year decrease. Transparency and the stench of death Another rumor Bullock discusses was that the Village Hall Committee isnt holding meetings at a convenient time for most people to attend them. She said in the last seven months, the committee took tours of municipal buildings in nearby communities, such as Lake Geneva and Pleasant Prairie. The committee also has met to interview architects. Because of meeting with these experts and during the (building) tours, these are all things that need to be done during business hours, Bullock said. There havent been evening meetings yet, but expect them to be scheduled soon. Bullock said there will be public hearings. Meanwhile, people can still keep tabs on the committees progress even if they cant make committee meetings. It is a transparent process, she said. People are welcome to attend meetings, theres a website about it, there have been newspaper articles. Every (regular) village board meeting, I do a report. Bullock said shes also looking at alternative ways to get the word out about the issue including having place mats printed and placed on tables in local restaurants. Thats unique, she said. But Bullock assured there will be public meetings and hearings, possibly as early as after the program study is completed. Once its time to do the evening meetings, I dont know if aggressive is the right word, but we will want to get the word out there more, she said. Because we want everyone involved. The bottom line is this is for the community. But what if the community doesnt want anything done about the village hall rodents, birds and all? Id be very disappointed if people thought the status quo, so to speak, is OK, Bullock said. You look at the basement, there are issues there that need to be addressed. The failure to address some of these issues would be wrong.

Former Pell Lake man guilty of sexual assault

A Walworth County jury found a 29-year-old former Pell Lake man guilty of three sexual assault charges on Thursday night. Larry J. Smith, now of Delavan, was found guilty of two counts of repeated sexual assault of a child and sexual assault of a child under the age of 16. Smith is being held in the Walworth County jail while he awaits sentencing. When he is sentenced Sept. 12 at 8:30 a.m. in front of Judge David Reddy, he faces up to 120 years imprisonment and $300,000 in nes. Smith began molesting the victim in 2008, when she was 11. The sexual Smith assaults continued until the girl turned 14, and the last assault occurred a week before she went to the police, according to the criminal complaint. Deputy District Attorney Joshua Grube said the victim testied during the two day jury trial, and he said that her testimony was critical in the case. She is remarkably brave, Grube said of the victim. Grube also was able to introduce DNA evidence during the trial. The jury deliberated for about 4 1/2 hours before nding Smith guilty of all the counts. Reddy ordered a presentence investigation, which is a report generated by the Department of Corrections that examines the crime, the defendants history and recommends a sentence. The case against Smith began on May 29, 2011, when the victim spoke to Bloomeld Investigator Lori Domino. The victim told Domino that Smith has been molesting her since she was in the sixth-grade. The victim said Smith had sexual contact with her on at least 50 occasions. Domino arrested Smith and Smith declined to speak to her. However, when Domino was obtaining a DNA sample, Smith asked, How many years am I looking at? Smith was free from custody after he posted a $25,000 cash bond in 2011.

Dental/Volunteers come from all corners of the state

The key for anyone who wants to benet from the program is to come early, Thompson said. He said people will come the night before and wait for the clinic to open. And patients should keep in mind that two separate procedures will require two visits. For example, an individual who needs a tooth lled and tooth extracted, can get one service done but then has to go out and get in line for the next procedure. Persons who want to wait can bring a chair, but the school isnt going to allow tents, Thompson said. Meanwhile, Lake Geneva residents have been very generous about volunteering their services and donating money. He said the program reached its recruiting goal and nancing goal for this year. Dillman said that the bad economy and unemployment have increased the numbers of those unable to afford dental care. And there is the generally recognized problem of the rising costs of health care and dental care, which causes employers to eliminate insurance or to offer insurance that has fewer options, he said. Delavan-Darien has the second-highest rate in the state of children enrolled in school lunch programs, said Dillman, citing a measure of low-to-moderate income families. In addition to the dental professionals, there are general volunteers who will bring food for the volunteers, watch over the welfare of the persons waiting in line for care and help set up and take down the clinic. Volunteer Spanish, Hmong and American Sign Language translators will also be there. One of the great needs in Walworth County is the need for dental care, especially for those without insurance, said Dillman, who practices at Geneva Family Dentistry, Lake Geneva. Lake Geneva gets portrayed as a wealthy community. But there are areas of poverty in Lake Geneva and surrounding Walworth County where residents nd it hard if not impossible to get adequate dental care, he said. The volunteers come from all over the state, Dillman said. Some also come from out of state, most notably Illinois. The goal of MOM is to draw patients in need from this area of the state, especially Walworth, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine and Rock counties, he said. Selecting Badger High School as the site for MOM was a no-brainer, Dillman said. Its a large facility that can handle the 100 dental chairs that will be set up for the clinic. Dillman said the school staff has been outstanding in assisting the WDA set up the clinic, as well. The folks at Badger have gone out of their way to be helpful, Dillman said. While all of the work is volunteer, it still costs money to put on a free event. The budget for the MOM at Badger is $190,000. All of it is donated. Among the larger donors is Walworth County. In November, the Walworth County Board voted to donate $30,000 for the two-day clinic. Among local businesses, Walmart donated $50,000. The costs are for feeding the volunteers and caring for patients, medications and materials, Dillman said. For every dollar donated, WDA estimates, between $6 and $8 in dental care is delivered, he said. For more information, go online to www.wda.org/wdafoundation/mission-of-mercy.

Report: Wisconsin second worse in providing poor children dental care

MILWAUKEE (AP) A new report says Wisconsins track record for providing dental care to low-income children is dismal. The study by Pew Charitable Trusts released Tuesday says about 71 percent of Medicaid-enrolled children did not see a dentist in 2011. Thats second only to Florida where 75 percent did not get dental care. Wisconsin Dental Association past president Monica Hebl says the state spends less than 1 percent of its Medicaid budget on dental care. Hebl tells the Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1a9sKNt ) the reimbursement rate for Medicaid patients hasnt been raised in years. Hebl says dental care affects a persons overall health. Gum inammation, for example, has been linked to poor control over diabetes. complete a patient registration form and remain seated until called for dental triage. Patients will be asked several survey questions and those responses are tracked in the computer and no one will see them once submitted. In triage, patients will be asked about their medical history and have their blood pressure taken. In some instances, patients may need to have blood clotting and/or blood sugar levels tested. Providing these readings are all in line, a dentist will look over the patients teeth and determine what work needs to be done and in what priority. Those needing X-rays will have them taken. Patients will then be escorted to the appropriate department, checked in and asked to have a seat in the specic waiting area. Here, patients will be seen on a rst-come, rstserved basis. The wait could last for several hours. Those having llings, extractions or a root canal will receive a local anesthetic before going into a treatment chair. Those who came as a group or as families may reconnect in a designated meeting area.

City may eliminate impact fees

By Chris Schultz cschultz@lakegenevanews.net Impact fees are apparently having little desired impact, and the city council seems ready to jettison them altogether. The impact fee wasnt doing much for the city, said Alderwoman Sarah Hill, who chairs the Lake Geneva City Councils Finance and Regulation Committee,. First enacted in the 1990s, the city charges a $4,805 impact fee per every house built in the city. The idea behind impact fees is that they help offset the cost of bringing more residents into the city, said City Administrator Dennis Jordan. The council signaled its intention to rid the city of the impact fees in April, she said. At the April 8 meeting, Mike Van Den Bosch of the Walworth Hill County Economic Development Agency informed the council that many other communities in the county were eliminating impact fees because they were seen as a deterent to future development in a slow economy. Formal action by the council is awaiting research by City Attorney Dan Draper, to determine whether repealing the ordinance will prevent the city from spending the fees it has already collected, Hill said. Jordan When construction is booming and economy is strong, the impact fees add up quickly. When construction lags, the funds go wanting. Out of the $4,805 impact, the city extracts: n $1,865 for sewer service. n $1,600 for water service. n $800 for the library. n $310 for re service. n $230 for parks. Most likely, the city council will eliminate the re department and library impact fees, Jordan said. The impact fee has been most useful for the city utility commission, which manages water and sewer service in the city, Jordan said. However, the utility commission now has a plan to transfer its costs to a connection fee, he said, which may lead to those fees being eliminated as well. The one fee hanging in the balance is the parks fee. However, the park commission does have other revenues from park use fees, paid by those who rent park facilities for special events. At the April 8 meeting, Mayor Jim Connors said an impact fee study was done in 2004 that planned for future expansion of city services based on a projected population of 45,000 by 2024. However, that population boom has not occurred, and the city is unable to spend the fees as prescribed by the

LG July 4th parade Thursday

Its time to decorate the bikes, wagons and scooters with red, white and blue bunting and don your most patriotic outts to celebrate the holiday. The Frank Kresen American Legion Post 24 Ladies Auxiliary, Lake Geneva, will hold its annual Fourth of July parade and costume contest for area children on Thursday, July 4, beginning at 10 a.m. Thats when the children will be able to show off their costumes and decorated bikes to win special prizes. Participants in the parade should gather at Eastview Elementary School at about 9:30 a.m. The Post 24 Color Guard and Lake Geneva Fire and Police department units will lead the parade to the Legion Hall, 735 Henry St. The parade route will travel on Dodge Street from the Eastview parking lot north onto Center Street, then up to Henry Street and to the Legion Hall. Auxiliary members and local dignitaries are expected to greet the parade participants behind the Legion Hall after the ceremony. At that time, parade entries will be judged and prizes will be awarded in several age groups. Following the judging, popsicles will be served by the auxiliary. If it rains, the parade and events will be canceled.

study, Connors said. In an interview last week, Jordan said state law limited how the impact fees could be spent. In the case of water and sewer service, impact fees could be spent on new service and expansion of existing service. The utility commission had no difculty in using its impact fee funds, Jordan said. However, re service impact fees may only be spent on building a new re station or substation. It may not be used for equipment or personnel, Jordan said. The citys main re station needs a new roof, but the impact fee rules do not allow for improvements for existing structures, he said. The rules for the library impact fee are not as restrictive. However, the fees may be used only to increase space for materials. Jordan said some of the library impact fees were used to buy new shelving. Park impact fees can be used to expand parks and park services for residents. About four years ago, the state changed the rules and added a time limit for using the fees, Jordan said. The state now requires that impact fees not used after seven years, or some cases 10 years, must be returned to the persons owning the property from which the fees were collected, with interest, Jordan said. That makes it almost impossible for the city to use the re service impact fees for a new building. No way were going to save 4 to 5 million dollars within seven or 10 years, Jordan said. Some of the impact fees are due to be refunded if they are not used by Dec. 31 this year, Jordan said. The funds now stand as follows. The re fund has $67,966.87 of which $39,663 would have to be refunded. The library fund has $158,595, of which $38,196 would have to be refunded. The park fund has $43,774, of which $18,783 would have to be refunded. The utilities have already spent their impact fee allotment and wont be impacted by deadlines, Jordan said.

TIF big factor in villages debt concerns

By Jade Bolack JBolack@lakegenevanews.net FONTANA The villages debt-toequalized value ratio is the highest in at least 10 years, according to records from the villages annual audit. Currently, Fontana has $25,858,929 in long-term debt, or $15,447 per resident. This is 2.2 percent of the equalized value of the village, which is more than $1.2 million. A big part of this debt is from the Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) District. According to Patrick Romenesko, a certied public accountant hired by the village to conduct the audit, the village has yet to recover $14,582,744 from the TIF. When you recover those costs from the increments and other revenues (in the district), the district is over, he said at the June 3 village board meeting. You still have $14,452,744 and that doesnt include interest in the future. You did chip away at it in 2012. The TIF is scheduled to close in 2030 or when the costs are recovered, whichever comes rst. In 2012, the Community Development Authority, responsible for the TIF, spent $1.2 million for general government expenses, public works and debt service. The CDA only made $886,013 from taxes and other revenue. All current loans and bonds are scheduled to be paid off by 2032, according to the annual nancial report produced by Romenesko. The audit is not all bad news, though. The village increased its fund balance in 2012 by more than $1.1 million. In a phone interview June 21, Village Administrator Kelly Hayden said the fund balance is important for the villages bond rating. The state requires that you keep X amount of dollars in your reserve so youre not without liquid cash, she said. (Romenesko) suggests we keep a quarter of our budget. So, if you have a $4 million budget, the ideal fund balance is around $1 million. Moodys Investors Service, a credit rating company, rates the village based on its available fund balance. When we go out for bonding, Moodys will give us a bond rating, Hayden said. Fund balance is one element they look at very strongly. They want to know that we have some cash backup. Romenesko said the village was worried about its fund balance recently. It wasnt that long ago when we were concerned that the village fund balance might go negative, Romenesko said. What occurred to generate this $1.1 million addition (to the budget)? In the original budget adopted for 2012, the village had intended to add $380,000 ... you just had a number of favorable things happen during the year. Romenesko said the village received higher than expected revenue from room taxes, building permits, beach use and parking payments. These things were very benecial to your fund balance, he said. But there is a qualication on this. If you look at the variances in the general fund expenditures, there is (more than) $1 million in capital outlay. Capital outlay is money spent on large projects and improvements that are an asset to the village. Romenesko said the village borrowed money in 2012 and that shows in the increased fund balance. Debt service fund The village has a separate fund for debt service, which Romenesko suggested the board transfer into the general fund. Currently, the fund holds $449,073. Hayden said its money left over from previous debt payments.

Dogs and a Guinea Pig take over the Bay Fireghters

heating up park with BBQ

Heyer Park will host the Walworth Fire Departments annual chicken barbecue fundraiser Saturday, June 29. Fire Chief Andy Long said reghters will serve up 1,050 chickens starting at 11 a.m. You can eat in at the park or you can drive-thru to pick up the meal, he said. Were expecting nice weather, so we should have a good turn out. Department volunteers are also willing to make local deliveries. To set up a delivery, call (262) 215-9908. The meal costs $8, featuring chicken, baked potato, a roll, drink and ice cream. The reghters will serve dinners until the chicken is gone. Long said it typically ends around 6 or 7 p.m. The department has several reghters designated to go if an emergency call comes in during the barbecue. Long said the department doesnt have any specic goals for the money raised. There are a few things we werent able to get through the recent Federal Emergency Management Agency grant, he said. Well talk at our next department meeting about what to use the funds for. Earlier this month, the department received more than $100,000 for new equipment and training. Long expects many returning customers for the barbecue this year. Its always a family event, he said. We bring in reghter families and a lot of residents look forward to it. The chicken barbecue is the beginning of the cookout season at Heyer Park, which also hosts the Rotary Clubs Corn and Brat Fest.

Subdivisions private roads too narrow for re engine

By Jade Bolack JBolack@lakegenevanews.net TOWN OF WALWORTH Residents in the Angels Flight subdivision in the town of Walworth have a problem. The private drive that leads to their houses along Geneva Lake puts them in a high-risk area in an emergency. Walworth Fire Chief Andy Long said he brought the issue to the town board several years ago. Theres one section of the roadway that is too narrow to get our main engine down there, he said. Weve had to make some adjustments to take other trucks down there if theres a call. Long said hes met with the residents to explain the problem. It was the hope that they would get together and widen the road out there, he said. Nothing has transpired since that talk last summer. Town Chairman Joe Abell said it was disappointing. Its like living on the Mississippi River and not having ood insurance, he said at the June 11 town board meeting. People dont put a value on their safety. I have a real hard time with that. Town Supervisor Bill Martin said hes talked with many of the residents who have houses along the road. Everyone on Angels Flight is well aware of the situation, he said. I was personally down there last summer with the trucks and re chief. I think they said it would cost between $40,000 and $80,000 to widen it. Thats divided by the dozen or so homes on that road. Martin said the village didnt have jurisdiction on private roads and couldnt enforce road widening. We dont want to take the responsibility (for an additional road) either, he said. I dont know how were going to solve it. Maybe somebodys personal property damage is enough (to sway the residents). You hate to see someone get hurt or lose a life because someone is too bullheaded to widen out (the road). Long said the re department cannot force the residents, either. The road doesnt have to meet the ordinances of the township because its a private subdivision, he said. We hope they take our advice and get something done. We can only make recommendations.

School faces dilemma with health insurance

Under Affordable Health Care Act, district would need to insure part-time workers
By Jade Bolack JBolack@lakegenevanews.net WALWORTH In January, the Walworth School District must offer health insurance to part-time employees who work an average of 30 hours a week. Under regulations set in the Affordable Health Care Act, commonly called Obamacare, employers will face a penalty if they dont offer affordable health insurance to these part-time employees. Administrative Assistant Karie Bourke said the school board has four options, and it must choose soon for budget making purposes. Our rst option is to cut these employees down to 29 hours or less per week, she said. I dont know if thats feasible for us. If the employees average 29 hours or less a week, the district does not have to offer health insurance. Option two is to offer the employees health insurance at an affordable rate, Bourke said. Affordable is dened at not more than 9.5 percent of their gross pay. Bourke said this 9.5 percent remains regardless of how much the insurance prices increase in the future. We could offer the same insurance as the rest of our employees, she said. Thats well within the affordability standards. Last, we could offer an insurance rate above the 9.5 percent. In this last option, employees can refuse insurance from the district and go to one of the health insurance exchanges yet to be created under the law. If they went to the health insurance exchange and were able to get insurance for less than what we were offering, we would have to pay a $3,000 penalty for that person, Bourke said. We dont know what the exchange charges. Chances are that it would be less than 50 percent of our premium, though the insurance would not be as good. The quality of the insurance doesnt matter, though, only the cost. Bourke said its probable the district can only offer single health insurance plans. That would save us some money, of course, she said. If were doing the bottom line, unfortunately its a large dollar amount. Bourke said nearly all the part-time employees are currently working more than 30 hours. I have more and more (employees) that are getting closer to 40 (hours per week), she said. We have to offer something to them. We just have to pick an option and go with it. The district will begin putting together the budget for the 2013-14 school year over the summer, and Bourke said she needed

the board to make a decision soon. We have to make a decision on one of these options, she said. I have to have it done before the budget, sooner rather than later just because of the potential cost. Were looking at quite a difference in cost (in the options) here. The board agreed to review the options and discuss it at future meetings. Support staff raises All school support staff will see a 2 percent raise next year. The board deliberated the decision for raises during a closed session June 24 and approved the raise during the open session following it. Board President Kelly Freeman said shed like to do more. Imagine what we could do, if we had the money, she said. We could do so much.

Angels Flight/Private road too small

Long said the department is obligated to respond to the scene of a re or emergency. We have to take a different truck down there than our rst line engine, he said. It takes more time to get it in there and get it in properly. Long didnt know the specic measurements needed to t the re department vehicles, but according to the Wisconsin Department of Administration, most city and village two-way streets are 60 feet across. Town roads must be at least 49.5 feet across, and if a town road receives more than 100 vehicles a day, it must be 66 feet across. Private roads do not have to comply with these state and local standards because they are not maintained by municipal or county ofcials. However, municipal emergency services have to respond regardless of the location. Theres still hope that things are moving along that we dont know about, Long said. All indications are that nothing is happening. We had hoped something would be done by now.

Ordinance says the park closes at 11

Police chief asks commission to update the code to account for more than one park
By Jade Bolack JBolack@lakegenevanews.net FONTANA Visitors to Fontanas parks may see some new rules in the near future. Police Chief Steve Olson asked the park commission to add a denition of a park to the village ordinances. Members of the commission agreed to recommend the village board change the ordinance language to better dene what a park is and to review park usage to set rules for each park during a future meeting. Olson told the commission that the current ordinance denes a park as any public property, including the village hall and the police department.

WILLIAMS BAY NOTE

College owns underwater robot
A new learning tool has arrived at George Williams College that will provide a whole new way to explore Geneva Lake under the surface. The college now owns an underwater robot, also known as a remotely controlled vehicle (ROV), which will allow students to gather video images to document the underwater environment to get a sense of the types and quantity of aquatic plants growing in the litoral zone (the part of the lake close to the shore). Video capabilities will help seek out and quantify aquatic invasive species. Scientic instruments will be used to measure water quality parameters such as pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen. An ROV is controlled from the surface. Onboard cameras allow for exploration of underwater environments that otherwise cannot easily be explored. ROVs are able to go deeper and stay down longer than scuba divers. Perhaps the best known use of an ROV is the discovery and documentation of the RMS Titanic. I have been using a borrowed ROV as a teaching tool since 2009, Christopher Wells, assistant professor parks and recreation, said. Commercial models are very expensive. Thankfully, I have the good fortune of collaborating with an ROV pilot who believes in the importance of education and has made his ROV available to the college on occasion. An open-source underwater vehicle project (OpenROV) makes it much more affordable to own an ROV. The design documents are available at no cost, and builders are able to make units completely from scratch. The kit is challenging to build, but the process is very interesting, Wells said. A community of builders contributes to the design and improvement of the ROV through online forums. It is exciting to be a part of that community through following and participating in the dialogue.

COUNTY REPORT

Supervisors will see pay increase

By Robert Ireland RIreland@lakegenevanews.net ELKHORN After the next election, county board supervisors will see a $100 a month pay raise, and the chairperson will see a monthly increase of $200. During the June County Board meeting, the supervisors approved the pay change on an 8-3 vote. Supervisors Tim Brellenthin, Ken Monroe and Carl Redenius voted against the increase. In May, the same ordinance failed on a 7-3 vote. An increase in supervisor pay requires approval from twothirds of the total board, or eight votes. Last month, Supervisor Richard Brandl was absent from the board meeting. However, the week after the meeting, he said he would support the pay increase. Im normally pretty conservative, but I think whoever is going to be there deserves an increase, Brandl said in May. I think its time to do it, and it will probably be another 10 years before it gets done again. After the next election, supervisors will earn $600 a month and the chairperson will be paid $1,200 a month. Although the board approved the ordinacne without discussion during the June meeting, board members voiced their opinions during the May meeting. Here is what they said: I think the board needs that, they have earned it, Supervisor Jerry Grant, of Whitewater said of the increase. Supervisor Joe Schaefer, of Lyons, said he was paid more for his work as a supervisor when he was rst elected than he is today. Schaefer, the longest-serving board member, was elected to the board in 1974. I was making a heck of a lot more in the 1970s and 1980s, he said. During the debate on pay raises, Supervisor Tim Schiefelbein was the rst supervisor to voice opposition. I would be opposed to an increase in supervisor salaries, Brellenthin, of rural Elkhorn said. Supervisor Rick Stacey, of rural East Troy, said his rst response was to agree with Brellenthin. However, he said the amount of time supervisors spend doing their jobs is incredible. It is a lot of travel, and it is a lot of speaking to constituents, Stacey said. There is a lot of work involved. Supervisor David Weber, of Williams Bay, said it is a question of respect for the position. None of us are running for ofce for the level of compensation, Weber said. Some of the supervisors argued for a pay raise for the chairwoman and not the supervisors. I would support an increase for the chair, but I would be against it for the supervisors, Redenius, of the town of Richmond, said. Supervisor Tim Schiefelbein said he declines to take his pay, but voted in favor of the ordinance because he said his peers on the board work hard, and deserve a salary increase. To operate at this level takes a lot of commitment, Schiefelbein said.

COUNTY BOARD NOTES

Board: Say no to bondsmen
The Walworth County Board approved a resolution opposing the use of bail bondsmen in Wisconsin. The use of bail bondsmen was outlawed in Wisconsin 32 years ago. However, when the state Legislature approved the 2013-15 biennial budget, it included bringing bail bondsmen back to the state. When Gov. Scott Walker goes through the budget, he could use the line item veto to remove the bail bondsmen provision. In Walworth County, during the past 18 years, cash bail forfeitures amounted to an average of $72,000 annually. The forfeitures ranged from $16,000 to $192,000, according to the resolution. There are many unanswered questions relating to enforcement and regulation of commercial bond surety companies, which are not bound by public enforcement restrictions, the resolution states. Commercial bail bond surety companies in several other states accumulated over $100 million in unpaid forfeitures in recent years, leading to license revocation. The award was given to Grube from the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault. Annually the award is given to individuals to recognize them for their efforts on behalf of victims of sexual violence and work in ensuring that crimes involving sexual violence are prosecuted. Grube has volunteered hundreds of hours conducting training for the county addressing the legal and moral obligation to protect children, presenting on topics of Internet safety, mandatory reporting, sexual assault, physical abuse and drug endangered children, according to the resolution that the board approved. During the meeting, District Attorney Daniel Necci said he has faced Grube on both sides of the iron curtain and nds him to be a tough, fair, compassionate person with the exact right temperament for his job. I will pay him what I think would be the highest compliment you can pay a prosecutor and I dont pay it as district attorney, I pay it as a father and as a citizen of Walworth County and that is that we are all indeed safer because of the efforts of Deputy District Attorney Grube, Necci said. Grube was given an opportunity to speak and said the recognition is humbling. These are tough cases. They are emotionally draining, they are physically draining, Grube said. Grube complimented all the people he works with on these cases, from law enforcement to ofce staff to victim services. We work as a team. I may be in the courtroom arguing at the end of the day to the jury but it is the product of everybody working together, Grube said. Prior to prosecuting sexual assault cases, Grube handled drug cases. He said those cases generated excitement, but he nds the sexual assault cases to be important. These cases are important because they tear apart families, they tear apart lives, Grube said. We never really know how these cases impact a child or a family until decades down the road.

Payroll specialist awarded

Trina Adams, a payroll specialist with Walworth County, was recognized by the Walworth County Board after being awarded the Citation of Merit at the American Payroll Associations 31st Annual Conference in Grapevine, Texas. Adams is an active, contributing member of the American Payroll Association and the Milwaukee Chapter of the American Payroll Association. Adams regularly volunteers to serve on local committees and national task forces, the resolution states. During the meeting, Nicole Andersen, the deputy county administrator for nance, credited Adams with ensuring county employees are paid on time and accurately.

APEX FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

Would Like to Welcome Dr. Tony Skemp to the Family!
Hello! I am Dr. Tony Skemp. I have recently moved to the area to join Dr. Heather Bria and the family at Apex Family Chiropractic. I am thrilled to be a part of the community and would like to thank everyone who has welcomed me kindly and graciously so far. I cant wait to meet more members of this great area and help make an impact. Chiropractic care changed my life as a young athlete in high school, but little did I know how much more of an impact it would have. Now I have the mission to help as many people as I can live a healthier, more optimal life. Before I tell my story of chiropractic, here is a little about me: I am from southwest Wisconsin, near the small town of Kieler, where my parents and younger brother still reside. In my free time I love to golf, play basketball, work out and spend time with friends and family. Along with being a huge Packers, Badgers and Chicago Cubs fan, I enjoy the outdoors and being on/near the water. I also love to meet new people. It was after a football injury in high school that I had my rst experience of chiropractic, which changed my entire life. After several doctors advised me that my athletic career was probably over, my loving father took me to a chiropractor. Chiropractic care has not only allowed me to nish my high school athletic career, but I am still playing sports weekly for fun and exercise. From a young age I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life helping people. So after graduating from University of WisconsinLa Crosse, I attended the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic. During my time at Palmer I was fortunate enough to be a part of a mission trip to the small island of Bequia. It was there I was able to provide hundreds of people the power of chiropractic care, and the appreciation they displayed in return is forever in my heart. Most people dont know that chiropractic care is for much more than just back or neck pain. Actually many conditions such as sinus problems, acid reux, constipation, diarrhea, sleep problems, ear infections, allergies, asthma and poor concentration can all be signs of subluxation. We as chiropractors are the only doctors in the world who are certied to detect and replace these subluxations. So dont let conditions like these become a normal part of your life. We at Apex Family Chiropractic would love to offer a complementary vitality health assessment using the best technology in the world to measure how your nervous system is functioning just by mentioning this press release. Contact us today! We are also offering monthly health talks about our current healthcare system. Come nd out how YOU can take control of not only your health, but your families as well. Call us to nd out the next date and sign-up, participants are limited. I hope to see you soon, so that you can experience superior chiropractic care and improve your quality life not only for you, but your entire family, just like my family has. Yours in health, Tony Skemp, D.C.

Romo returns for annual camp

New contract, fatherhood, local teammate highlight press conference
By Mike Ramczyk sports@lakegenevanews.net BURLINGTON The pride of Burlington may have gotten a whole lot richer this offseason, but Tony Romo will never forget where he comes from. On Monday, the Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback, who signed a seven year, $119 million contract extension in the offseason, returned to his roots at Burlington High School for his annual Tony Romo Football Camp. The all-position camp, which is open to third graders through incoming high school seniors, started indoors in the morning due to heavy rain but moved outside by noon. More than 200 kids attended the camp, receiving advice from Romo and other area football coaches. Around 9 a.m. in a conference room adjacent to the football eld, Romo conducted a press conference during which he talked about his 1-year-old son and the Cowboys addition of former Big Foot star Travis Frederick, among other topics. Romo, 33, said he loves teaching the kids, and he stressed positive messages of hard work and self-condence for people in all walks of life, not just football. Here is the press conference, which included media from Milwaukees TMJ4 and the Burlington Standard Press. Why do you always want to come back? TR: Youre always teaching new kids. Theres always different personalities. That aspect makes it enjoyable. Some kids who have been here awhile grow and get to work with me more, and its fun. Its great to see everybody and give back some advice that I wouldve loved to have at that age.

Advice Speed demons race through East Troy for young athletes

Editors Note: Maddie Clark is a 2011 Badger High School graduate. She earned a Division I scholarship to swim at a school in Texas but transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Clark is still swimming, and she is just getting her start in broadcast journalism. She recently wrote a column detailing her experience. Signing an athletic scholarship contract with a university as a senior in high school is one of the greatest reliefs of any student-athletes. You dont realize your hard ght soon turns into something that should have come with a warning label. Taking on the responsibility of a collegiate student-athlete can be considered a job. Your team becomes your family, your coach becomes another parent, and your chores become getting good grades. You start to develop a sense of what it really means to be a genuine teammate. Your every action can impact the perception of yourself, but also your team, your athletic department and your university as a whole. Transitioning from a high school student to a college student, or a student-athlete, can be hard. Your parents are not there to tell you what to do. You must learn to prioritize your time wisely, and there many distractions.

Local semi-pro legend headed to Hall of Fame

By Mike Ramczyk sports@lakegenevanews.net LAKE IVANHOE Wilbert Kennedy is quite intimidating when you see him in person. However, once you sit down with him, the 6-foot-2, 350-pound Bloomfield cop is a soft-spoken, friendly guy who loves to talk about his 16-year-old daughter, who attends Badger High School. But there was a time when Kennedy used that intimidation along with some freakish athleticism to dominate opponents on the football field. The 46-year-old lifelong Lake Ivanhoe resident and Badger High School graduate is leaving town Thursday for Canton, Ohio, where he will be inducted into the American Football Association (AFA) Hall of Fame. Its the ultimate accolade for semi-pro football players, and Kennedy is well-deserving. For 21 years, he starred at defensive lineman for the Racine Raiders, one of the oldest and most well-known semipro clubs in the state. Kennedys teams Kennedy played in eight national titles and won four of them. Kennedy played college football at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and had a cup of coffee in the Canadian Football League. After playing his last season in 2009, Kennedy is now a defensive line coach for the Raiders, and he makes the 55-minute trip east usually twice a week in the summer. Always the strongest player on the field, Kennedy possessed rare speed for his size. At Badger, he played fullback, and he even got carries in goal-line situations as a Raider. Kennedy first heard about the Hall of Fame induction from his first Raiders coach, who called to tell him he had nominated Kennedy for the honor. A few days later, Kennedy received a call from the president of the AFA saying he got in. This is our Hall of Fame, Kennedy said. It hasnt really hit me yet. But once I get there and put that blazer on, it will probably start setting in. Ive never been to Canton. This is going to be an awesome experience.

Zeinerts blast boosts Red Legs

By Mike Ramczyk sports@lakegenevanews.net UNION GROVE Badger grad Jonah Zeinert is your prototypical power hitter hes tall, strong and has a mighty swing. On June 20 at Union Grove, he tapped into that power when the Genoa City Senior Legion baseball squad needed it the most. In a tie game with two outs in the top of the seventh, Genoa City coach Gary Cukla called a hit-and-run with Zeinert at the plate. With a runner on rst base, Zeinert didnt just slap a base hit through the hole between rst and second base. He slammed the ball over the fence to give Genoa City a 5-3 lead. Pitcher Brendan Huber closed it out in the bottom of the frame for the victory. Genoa City improved to 6-4 overall. The Red Legs entered the seventh inning trailing by one run. Eric Nevoso led off with a walk, and Kyle Nixon singled in Nevoso to tie the game. Huber was dominant in preserving the win, picking up his rst win as a reliever. He struck out four of the six batters he faced. Brendan pitched lights out, Cukla said. It was masterful. James Alexander notched two hits and scored a run to lead the Red Legs. Also, Badger grad Trent Bobula added an RBI double in the fth inning. Bryce Davis started for the Red Legs and allowed three earned runs in ve innings. The umpire seemed to have a tight strike zone, so Davis pitch count was high, Cukla said. In the fth inning, Alexander led off with a double and was doubled home by Bobula. Colin Barrys elders choice plated Bobula to cut Union Groves lead to 3-2. Genoa City hosts Kenosha Thursday night at 7 p.m. at Krisik Park.
MIKE RAMCZYK/REGIONAL NEWS

Andresen, the teams ace, allowed four rst-inning runs, and that was all Janesville needed. The host Red Legs left nine runners on base but couldnt come up with timely hits, according to Cukla. Genoa City players struck out nine times. Andresen allowed four runs on ve hits in the rst, but he settled to give up only one more run in the next four innings. He struck out seven and walked one. Colton just was not on top of his game in the rst, and it cost us, Cukla said. Barry led the Red Legs with a 4-for-4 performance. Zeinert and Corey Crowder each added hits. 17U takes two On June 21, the host Genoa City 17U shut out Racine, 5-0, to improve to 6-2. Colton Tisch led the charge, going 2for-3. He doubled in the fourth inning and singled in the fth inning. John Laskowski looked sharp on the mound. Racine managed just three hits off of Laskowski, who allowed no earned runs, walked none and struck out two during his ve innings of work. Genoa City closer Philip Kutch put away the nal six outs to record the save. Genoa City stayed on top until the nal out after taking the lead in the fourth, scoring one run when Tisch stole home. After posting two runs in the fth, Genoa City scored two in the sixth. On June 18, Genoa City crushed Janesville West at home, 15-4. The Red Legs erupted for eight rstinning runs. Tisch racked up two RBIs on three hits for Genoa City. He singled in the rst and fourth innings. Ditzenburger got the win for Genoa City. He allowed four runs over 3 2/3 innings. He struck out two, walked four and surrendered six hits. Genoa City added ve more runs in the bottom of the second. An error scored Riley Gentile to get Genoa City on the board in the inning. In the third inning, Logan Siegler knocked an RBI double.

Its not really a big deal. Its something you do because you appreciate the people. What do you learn from this camp? TR: Im always learning football in general. Youre constantly trying to improve and gain knowledge of yourself and other positions. The younger you are, you dont need all that information. But a lot of it is the message I can bring to them. I used to look up to older players. As a kid, I think its a really neat thing. Its been eight years now. What is it like to look back on all these years? TR: It goes by fast. Thats one thing you want to tell the kids. Some kids complain about what they have to do, but youre going to have a short period of time in your life to play football. During that time, you can embrace it. Its more about the journey than the end of it. They dont realize until its too late. Whether its football or school or life, just dont wait. If you attack it, youre gaining something. How crazy is it that a kid from Walworth County (Travis Frederick) is on your team? TR: Its rare. I didnt expect that, but Doug Free is also from here. Travis has done a great job, and hes a real smart kid. He picks things up fast, and that will help him. Im excited about playing with him. Hows your golf game? TR: Non-existent. I havent played in awhile. Hows your family? TR: I have a baby boy who is a year and two months old. Hes running around and keeping us busy. Were trying to keep him from growing too fast. My wife loves rocking him. But he doesnt like to be rocked anymore. I almost have to rock her because he doesnt like to be rocked. Hes already playing with little footballs. You guys play the Packers this year. Is that still kind of cool to play them? TR: Its cool because theyre good. It will be a great test. Were going to be pretty good this year. This is one of the most complete teams that Ive been around. Its going to be a very enjoyable football season. How nice is it to enter the season with a new contract? TR: I signed one when I rst got into the league, and this is my third. Its a great thing that the team believes in you, and they think youre the guy that will take them

Advice
Distractions impacted my first year of college, but I was able to take a step back during the summer going into my sophomore year and re-evaluate what I wanted to do with my life. I took the time to pick out the things I thought were important and where I could use my strengths to advance my dreams. Throughout my years at Badger High School, I took many broadcasting classes that helped confirm that I had a passion outside the swimming pool. While exploring career paths and opportunities with my communications counselors, I became aware of a little known internship in our local community. After composing a cover letter and attaching my 25 pages of draft predictions, I took a shot and sent a package off to Fox 11 Sports. Two days after sending in my correspondence, I was given an interview. The day after my interview, I was awarded the internship of a lifetime that combined my love for sports and broadcasting. Working at Fox 11 has given me the opportunity to interview professional football players along with other collegiate and high school athletes. I am afforded the gift of discussing sports from the purest athletic perspective to the commercial and business side of the house on a daily basis. I am learning the operational aspects and the daily details of what makes the industry go round. On top of it all, I am blessed with the unbelievable chance to network and meet people with wisdom beyond my years. This whole opportunity has taken me back to my roots of Badger High School. Without Badgers guidance academically, athletically, and socially, I wouldnt be where I am today.

ROMO teaches Delavan-Darien quarterback Jesse Collins proper throwing techniques on Monday. where they want to go. It makes you work and get to a point where you can bring everybody a Super Bowl. I dont think Ill ever have a bigger signing day than when I rst got to the NFL. I didnt even understand what hundreds of thousands of dollars was. When that came about, I was like, Well, I can retire tomorrow, I have $100,000. Ill be able to do whatever I want to do. That was still the biggest. Have you changed your approach at all this year? TR: Youre always planning long term as an organization. In the NFL, every year is important. Things change quickly. Ive had three coaches in seven years. You see the turnover rate in general. Theres only a few players left from when I joined the team. You understand how important every single season is. As a player, you still attack it the same way and work your butt off. We have a good collection of veteran guys and young guys. Is it tough dealing with this day and age of social media? TR: If youre a leader, you get way too much of the credit and the other side as well. I learned I enjoy and crave competition in general. Winning a Super Bowl is the ultimate challenge. Its fun to get better and bring everyone else with you. I was lucky enough to grow up right before the social media age. Especially when youre younger, everybody wants to have more friends and have more people like you. You have to watch out because what you say isnt just there now, its there forever. You dont know where your life is going to lead, and things you say can affect your family and other people. There should almost be classes on how to utilize social media. How do you respond to your critics? TR: You learn through experience. I can remember the rst year I started playing, and I just didnt understand why there was negative criticism. I was like, I thought I met that guy and he was nice? If youre doing anything in the public eye, thats part of it. For high school kids, theyre dealing with the social aspect. They want everybody to like them and be part of the cool group, whatever that is. The older you get, you have to be who you are. For kids, its hard because we so badly want to be in. People cant control you emotionally unless you allow them. I just learned awhile back that it doesnt help or hurt our football team. I have to move along and get back to work. That gives me the best chance for success. Thats what youre trying to do in any aspect of life. Youre saying, I may have had a great game today, but I have to get better tomorrow. Youre competing for the days ahead. Its a mindset.

Kennedy/Chicago native went to Badger, won four national championships

Most notably, Canton is the site of the National Football League Hall of Fame. Kennedy said he is excited to visit, but he is no stranger to halls of fame in general. In 2010, the Raiders retired Kennedys No. 55 with a ceremony in front of more than 4,000 fans. The Milwaukee Brewers racing sausages even made it out to Horlick Field in Racine for the game. That was my most memorable moment of my career, Kennedy said. It was a pretty special night. A rough start When Kennedy joined the Raiders in 1989, he had to wait his turn. He was backing up a future Hall of Fame defensive end, and the team was loaded with ex-NFL and ex-college talent. He said it was the most difcult time in his Raider career. Not starting for the rst time in my life was hard, he said. Guys were telling me to hang in there, and I almost left the next year. But Kennedy stepped up and started the next 20 seasons and became the heart of the defensive line. He said he trained six days a week at the Lake Geneva YMCA. I was fortunate to play in the organization I was in, Kenneday said. We had a lot of success and had a lot of good coaches. I played from my heart. You couldnt run on us. I got double-teamed a lot, but I got accustomed to it. Its a family over there. Kennedy would sometimes line up in the backeld and pound the ball in for

Meet Wilbert Kennedy

Semi-pro football is: an opportunity to play the game you love. I made the Hall of Fame because: I was part of a great organization and put in a lot of hard work. Favorite movie: Blazing Saddles Song: Hard Times, by Run-DMC Food ritual: Never had one, but I put my socks on a certain way. Id put my right shoe on rst, then the left. But Id eat anything, I didnt care. Dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would it be and why? My dad, Id tell him how much I love and miss him and thank him for everything. He was my rock. He taught me to be good to people until theyre not good to you. Id rather go shing with him instead of dinner.
touchdowns on goal-line situations. It was called the 2-ton package. One time I got a handoff and got absolutely killed, he said. So I icked the ball to the quarterback and he ran it in for a touchdown. It was luck. Through the years, Kennedy often played through injury. He never had surgery, but he said he once played through a torn tricep. I wouldnt go to the trainers because I wanted to win another ring, Kennedy

said. We all played through pain. Youre only 100 percent that rst day you walk out for practice. Family support Kennedys mother came to all of his games, he said. She would follow his teams across the country. Also, Kennedys father was an avid supporter before passing away 15 years ago. My mother never forced me into doing anything I didnt want to do, Kennedy said. She told me if I started something, I had to nish it. She let me be a kid. My dad came to games until the end. He would give opposing teams a hard time at our games in Racine. He was just having fun. They loved sports. Ironically, baseball is Kennedys rst love. He was a power hitter at an early age. But playing football was difcult. He only played football with kids his age one year because he was so big. I didnt like football as much as baseball, Kennedy said. I loved ag football more because I could play anywhere on the eld. I could always run fast even though I was big. I was a very outdoorstype kid. I wanted to play from sun up until sun down. Kennedy said he had so much fun playing, he was a kid until he retired. Giving back Since he works weekends, Kennedy

saves his vacation time for game days on Saturdays. But he loves being a cop. When I was a kid, I always told my mom I wanted to play pro baseball, football or be a cop, Kennedy said. So I did pretty much everything I wanted to. When hes not helping the Raiders in the trenches, he takes his daughter to basketball and track practice at Badger. Also, Kennedy has volunteered with the Badger football team in recent years. My daughter keeps me busy, he said. I assist Coach Curtis with defensive linemen a couple days a week during the season. Sometimes I have to leave to go to Racine. I was still playing when I rst started helping. Theyd laugh at me because Id come to practice hurting or limping. Kennedy it will be hard to nd dynasties nowadays in semi-pro football like the one he played for in Racine. He said there are far more teams these days. In the MidStates Football League, which includes the Raiders and the Lake Geneva Generals, there are 21 teams. The face of semi-pro football has changed, Kennedy said. With so many teams, it has over-saturated the talent pool. There are a lot of good players around here, but theyre not on the same team. When you win, its easier to stay around for a long time. You can have a couple bad seasons, and its over. You have to win to keep players interested.

An idea for bringing locals back downtown

The picture accompanying this column helps explain why locals no longer like shopping downtown Lake Geneva. In that picture, theres a clothing store, a furniture store, Arnolds Drug Store and two dry good businesses. Back then, in the 1920s, locals went downtown for their basic needs. While Lake Geneva has always been a tourist community of sorts, it really blossomed after this photo was taken. Since then the city has increasingly become touristdriven and locals have migrated away from downtown. In fact, its reached the point where many locals view the tourist business as the enemy. Several weeks ago I wrote my suggestions for what the new leadership of the Geneva Area Chamber of Commerce should consider as its goals. One of those suggestions was bring the locals back to downtown. Another was expanding the downtown farther down Broad Street. Put the two together and you have an intriguing idea. Maybe one way to bring the locals back is to have the Broad Street extension of the downtown be more locallyoriented. Obviously, one reason for the lack of interest in downtown by locals is the development on the east side of town. Walmart, Target and their neighbors have largely lled the needs of the old-fashioned downtown. That movement toward big box stores on the outskirts of cities has been going on for decades and has ruined more than one downtown. My hometown, Sheboygan, took years to recover. Pranges, which had been a mainstay when I was growing up, ran into troubled times. The city tried a downtown walking mall, which turned out to be an abysmal failure that set the downtown spiraling backward for years. Sheboygans downtown has nally evolved into more of a mixed use function, but it took years to get to the point where it was vital again. Were luckier. In most ways the malling of America movement hasnt hurt Lake Genevas vitality. Tourists dont come here for things they can get at home. So they head downtown to shop. The locals are another matter. Downtown merchants would love to have them come back especially during the lean winter months when many of the businesses struggle to make ends meet. If there was more to Broad Street, maybe locals would nd their way to Main Street, too. The merchants on Broad Street are already trying to mark themselves as part of downtown but with their own unique identity. The red umbrellas they put up recently is an example of that intention. Imagine Broad Street and Main Streets as separate retail neighborhoods adjacent to each other. Each has its own identity. Each can feed off the other. On the north side of Broad, theres already a good start with Simple restaurant. That appeals to both locals and visitors. In between, the already thriving portion of Broad Street and Simple on the other end, theres a gas station, a tavern and several banks that have more local appeal. Thats a start. And dont forget the Geneva Theater. PLEASE SEE HALVERSON PAGE 4D

Rediscover the quiet delight of letters

In the 1960s a lot of people turned on and tuned out. Today we are so tuned in, we are WIFI-ed and GPSd 24/7. Armed with cellphones, BlackBerrys, iPods, satellite radio and instant messaging, many of us have never been more connected ... or so overwhelmed. In the steadily growing chaos we call life with its never-ending meteor shower of information, commentary and noise more and more people are rediscovering the quiet delight of sending and receiving cards and letters. Letters help make moments special. Joys are recorded, shared and savored. Problems fade, or at least gain perspective, when they are written down and shared with family or friends by mail. When you sit down to write a friend, you are never alone. Taking the time to write a letter says so much to the recipient. Pausing to think about your friend or loved one, to revisit your memories and experiences, and to put those thoughts and emotions onto paper bring these feelings to life for you, as well as the recipient. And when flowers have wilted, chocolates have turned to unwanted pounds, texts and emails have been deleted, letters of love and messages of comfort and consolation remain, to be read and enjoyed over and over again. Unplug. Turn off. Slow down for a moment or two. Take off the headset. Savor the moment of silence then share it and your feelings with a friend or loved one. Write them a letter or revive the tradition of sending cards this summer season. Show them you care in a personal and lasting way by sharing a piece of yourself through the mail. Just imagine their delight from the moment they spy your correspondence in amongst the bills in their mailbox. The Pell Lake post office has a nice variety of stamps that would be perfect on that special card or letter so stop in and check out our selection.

Saving graces not a dream

Time is Now helps elderly man
Dear W.C.,
I work at an apartment complex. I am worried about one of our older tenants. He has been sick and is two months behind in his rent. The management has given him an eviction notice but I dont know where he will go. His wife died years ago and he does not have any family. Could you please check on him?

Dear readers,
I visited this man after speaking to the woman that wrote the letter. She asked me to not tell him she had written on his behalf. She was worried about losing her job. I assured her I would not reveal who had brought him to our attention. After knocking on the door of the apartment I waited several minutes for an answer. The chained door was slowly opened by

a senior man. He looked at me puzzled and asked, Do I know you? I said, Not yet but let me introduce myself. After we spoke at the cracked door for a few minutes, I explained to him why I was there, and I showed my identication, he invited me inside. I entered the apartment not knowing what to expect. After his initial hesitation he seemed truly happy to have someone to talk to. He showed me his small apartment. It was a little crowded with old furniture and pictures of who I assumed was his family. PLEASE SEE TIME IS NOW PAGE 4D

COMMUNITY & COMMENTARY

LETTERS

Hill backed for chamber head

To the Editor:
The city of Lake Geneva has a bright future. Made possible by the impact of a few longtime staffers and some new community leadership. We can thank Zoning Administrator Barney Brugger and Chamber of Commerce Director George Hennerley for many years of great service to our beautiful city. Many of the improvements made over the years have been a direct result of Barneys ability to balance the practical issues regarding building and zoning and the vision for the future set forth by many city councils and plan Hill commissions. Hats off to you, Barney on an often thankless job. Thanks, too, George, for doing a great job of keeping Lake Geneva on the agenda of many a vacation or business meeting or special event. Lake Geneva is a premier resort destination in the midwest, and we have, in large part, the chamber to thank for it. Like it or not, our city shares double duty as a vacation destination and a small town community. As a business owner for more than 30 years here, my family looks forward to many prosperous years to come as well as a great place to live. A recent meeting with Sarah Hill, alderman from the ward, gives me much hope for both. Sarah, who is also head of the nance committee and a member of the board of the Chamber of Commerce, has some great visions for the community where she has lived all her relatively young life. That youthful exuberance and headstrong personality is exactly what the city needs to adjust to this very different world with which we now must contend. She is a unique person who combines the understanding of a life-long resident with the business acumen needed to help us citizens navigate the ever-changing economical environment. As the chamber hunts for a new executive director from all corners of the country, why not look right here at home? Sarah would be an excellent choice to ll this most important position. If you agree, please let her know. Mike and Dave Hanley Aerial Adventures Lake Geneva

August supports Gov. Walkers budget

The State Assembly recently wrapped up the 2013-15 budget bill process. After Gov. Scott Walker put forth his recommendations earlier this year, the Joint Finance Committee held hearings around the state and voted on modications to the budget bill. The full legislature took up the bill this week. The budget bill is one of the most important pieces of legislation that the legislature votes on during the legislative session. The budget bill is more than1,000 pages and contains many different provisions; however, I only get one vote as your state representative. Although I do not agree with every single item in the budget, I do feel that overall it does keep Wisconsin on the right track. Therefore, I voted in favor of the budget bill because I believe there are many positive provisions for the residents of our area. To begin with, the state budget contains one of the largest tax cuts in state history. Specically, income taxes will be cut by more than $650 million dollars, and all tax cuts contained in the budget total nearly $1 billion. These tax cuts were possible because of the budget reforms we enacted last legislative session, which resulted in a large budget surplus this scal year. Wisconsin has notoriously been categorized as one of the top 10 taxed states in the nation. It is my hope that by returning the surplus to the taxpayer by enacting this historic tax cut, we can move our state out of the top 10 highest taxed states. In addition, I was encouraged to see the JFC version of the budget reduce both overall GPR spending and borrowing by state government. The budget we passed also cut 730 government positions from the original budget proposal. I believe this budget continues our effort to force the state government to tighten its belt and reduce the size of government. As a product of our local public education system, I was encouraged to see an increase in K-12 education funding, ensuring that education remains the most funded program in the budget. At the same time, we were able to hold the line on property taxes. Earlier in the budget process the legislature discovered that the University of Wisconsin System had been hiding hundreds of millions of dollars in a surplus slush fund, despite multiple years of unnecessary tuition increases. I was encouraged to see the legislature adopt a UW tuition freeze. This is reportedly the rst complete tuition freeze in the UW-Systems 42-year history. Overall, I believe this budget builds upon the reforms implemented in Gov. Walkers previous budget. I am especially supportive of the $650 million income tax cut, and hope we can continue to reduce the size and scope of government by returning money to the taxpayers of our state. Rep. Tyler August (R-Lake Geneva) is currently serving his second term in the Wisconsin State Assembly. He serves the 32nd District and can be reached at (608) 266-1190.

Parking idea backed

To the Editor,
There appears to be consensus from letter writers about the parking problem in Lake Geneva, and that it must be solved ... soon! All ideas should be considered while we still have options open to us. Turning the Post Ofce site into a parking lot will benet the entire community. The Post Ofce does not add revenue to Lake Geneva, but it does provide a vital service, and it will continue to provide that service, just from a different location. We really need to make Lake Geneva attractive to shoppers, both local and visiting by solving our parking problem. Patricia Wales Lake Geneva

History of the Greeks in Lake Geneva

Much has been written about the AngloSaxon Protestants from Vermont and upstate New York and their descendants who dominated Lake Geneva for at least the first century of its existence. Quite a bit has also been written about the Irish immigrants who settled in the Irish Woods west of Lake Geneva after they had built the railroad from Chicago to Geneva in 1856. They and their descendants became the largest ethnic minority population in Lake Geneva, and formed the backbone of the St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church. Many residents are aware of the first Italian immigrants in Lake Geneva, the Lazzaroni family, who operated a fruit stand on the north side of the 700 block of Main Street during the years following the turn of the 19th century. The Lazzaronis later purchased the Hotel Clair (and the bowling alley beneath it), which is now the Landmark Center. The descendants of the Lazzaronis are the Payne family. But few residents are aware of the history of Greeks in Lake Geneva, despite the fact that they have played a key role in the citys restaurant and tourism business for more than seven decades and a Greek-American is a former mayor of Lake Geneva. The patriarch of the Greek community in Lake Geneva was Peter Pappas. Pappas came to Lake Geneva a decade and a half after the turn of the 19th century as a waiter in the then-new Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Geneva Hotel (alas, demolished 40 years ago). Subsequently he brought his family from Greece to Lake Geneva, and, with his wife Georgia, opened Georgias International Caf on the west side of the 200 the north side of Highway 50, just west of Lake Geneva. The Anagnos family, led by their patriarch Big Nick Anagnos, was the last Greek family to arrive in Lake Geneva. Nick purchased the Hickory House restaurant (in which this writer once worked as a dishwasher) from Rick and Earl Parsons, completely remodeled it and transformed it into Popeyes restaurant. Anagnos owned the Annex bar where Hogs & Kisses now stands. He tore down the Annex and built the Black Knight bar on that location on lower Broad Street. He renamed it Pappoulis. Later, he sold it to Jerry Ordman who renamed it Hogs & Kisses. Anagnos and his brother-in-law Anthony (Tony) Condos purchased Millass restaurant and renamed it the Olympic Caf. Today members of the Anagnos family still own Popeyes. Greg Anagnos owns the Medusa restaurant at Broad and Dodge Streets, the former Hannys White House restaurant. George Argiroupolous, whose late wife Effie was Speedo Condos sister, presently owns the Lake Aire restaurant at the southwest corner of Broad and Main Streets. It had been owned by Nick and Angie Pappas Petros and by George Condos. At one time Condos owned three restaurants in the 200 block of South Broad Street: the Lake View restaurant (today Speedo Condoss Harborside Pub and Grill), the Hob Nob restaurant and the Lake Aire restaurant. Many of the Greeks who came to Lake Geneva originally lived on Pleasant Street and on Park Row. Quite a few of their descendants now live in Sturwood, a ref lection of their upward mobility. Without a doubt, Greek immigrants and their Greek-American descendants have played a vital role in Lake Geneva for more than 70 years, a role that forms a significant part of the fabric of Lake Genevas history. (Many thanks to Speedo Condos for his informative reading of the first draft of this article.)

FROM LAKE GENEVA IN VINTAGE POSTCARDS

PETER PAPPAS, the patriarch of the Greek community in Lake Geneva, came to the the city a decade and a half after the turn of the 19th century. He worked as a waiter in the then-new Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Geneva Hotel, which was demolished 40 years ago. block of Broad Street adjacent to where Lake Genevas bus station was once located. The Pappas family was followed by the Millas and later the Chironis families. Louie and Mary Millas arrived in Lake Geneva in the 1930s. They opened Millass restaurant, which is today the Olympic restaurant, on the south side of the 700 block of Main Street. Louie and Mary Millas were Spyro Speedo Condoss grandparents. The Chironis family opened Chironis restaurant, which is known today as Harrys, on the south side of the 800 block of Main Street. It is owned by Harry Chironis, the youngest son in the Chironis family. Peter and Georgia Pappass daughter, Angie Pappas, graduated from Lake Geneva High School in 1952. Two sons of the Chironis family, Alex and Jim Chironis, were star basketball players at Lake Geneva High School and Christine (Tina) Chironis was a cheerleader at LGHS. Ann Chironis graduated from LGHS in 1953, Alex Chironis in 1954, Jim Chironis in 1955, and Christine (Tina) Chironis in 1958.

Halverson/ Bringing locals back downtown

If that would become alive again and it could under the new owner it would be another reason to turn northward from Main Street. For all this to work, something needs to be done with the dilapidated Traver Hotel make it something or take it down. Thats a roadblock for many visitors who think theres nothing beyond it. Yes, the locals should come back to downtown. But downtown may have to come out to reach them. These changes dont happen overnight. Often, they take decades. But they have to start somewhere. Everything takes a dream before it can move forward. Halverson is editor and general manager of the Lake Geneva Regional News.

Time Is Now/Saving graces not a dream

I asked him who some of the people were in the old photos. He pointed out his mother and father, his wife and daughter. They are all gone now, he said sadly. I did not see any pictures of his daughter any older than a teenager. He said, She got cancer when she was a teenager. That was almost 40 years ago. There wasnt nothing they could do for her. Now I got cancer and the treatment doesnt seem much better. The senior man told me his wife passed away years ago, From a broken heart. is how he put it. After our daughter died my wife lost all hope. She just couldnt cope with the loss. She died from a heart attack. I asked him about his cancer. He said he had done some chemo, but it had made him so sick he couldnt function. He was not seeking any other treatment for cancer. He had made his peace with dying. I asked him about his delinquent rent and if he had any other outstanding bills. He told me how he had been trying to buy his wife and daughters graves a nice headstone for years. He had never been able to save enough to get something nice. I asked if he had spent his rent on this and he admitted he had. Along with his utilities money. He said, I couldnt die without making sure they had a proper burial place. Who would do this once Im gone? I asked if he knew he was in risk of eviction. He said, Yes, but I can die homeless. He held his frail hand up to his eyes to cover his tears. I could see his tears pass by his hand onto his cheeks. I told him, No. We will not let you become homeless. The Time Is Now to Help will do all we can to make sure you stay right here in this apartment. After I asked the senior gentlemans permission, I looked around the small apartment. Everything was surprisingly neat for an elderly man living all alone. I commented on that and he said, What else do I have to do with myself? My wife has been gone a long time so I do things for myself. I did notice his refrigerator and cabinets were nearly empty. I asked if he cooked and when was his last meal. He told me he was a good cook when he had money for food, but he had spent every last penny he could on the headstone. His last meal had been a can of tomato soup. I asked what he liked to eat. He was puzzled by the question. He said, First you offer rent, now you ask me what I like to eat. Are you for real or am I dreaming? With that he leaned over and gave me a gentle push, then said, Okay you are real. I laughed. He wiped his tears away with his forearm and asked, What is this Time Is Now helping? I explained about all of you and how together we do good works to help our fellow Americans. He sat in thought for a minute then asked a few more questions. The elderly man concluded with, There really are people who care? Before you came by I thought I would starve before the cancer got me. I immediately called for a hot meal to be delivered and made another call for help lling his refrigerator and cabinets. I watched as fresh tears fell while I made these phone calls. Within a short time we were eating together. After a good meal and several hours of my visit I could see the elderly man felt much better. I returned the next day. I brought three months of rent checks and a check for his past due utilities. He was in shock and speechless. When he looked up from the checks he had tears in his eyes. He said, I never expected to have new friends at this stage in my life. I thought I would die all alone on a park bench somewhere. I could see from the look on his face how much he had been in fear of that very real possibility. I grabbed his hand and told him, That is not how its going to be my friend. Our assistance put his budget back on track. Going forward he could afford his rent, food and utilities. It was the big purchase of the headstone that affected his nancial situation. Our elderly man still has cancer but is much happier living with dignity. He did not have to endure homelessness due to his act of love. His electricity was not shut off. His hunger was removed. Together we gave our fellow creation back his pride. We cared for his suffering and replaced his sorrows with compassion. The next time I talked to our elderly friend he said, Tell all those angels from The Time Is Now to Help I still think Im having a good dream. He laughed. I prayed, thanking God for allowing us to do our good works. Thank you for reading our column and sharing the message of hope. Please network, share our message of love with all your family, friends and business associates.

Chris Anns Resale Shop

I will continue to ask Chris Anns Resale shop for furniture and household necessities to help our poverty stricken fellow Americans. The poverty stricken we help are hidden away. Some are hard to nd, but I make it a point to nd them and make a difference. Many years ago I helped Love Inc. in Burlington start up. Now Chris Anns needs our help. Chris Ann was a cleaning lady with a big heart, never saying no to The Time Is Now to Helps requests. Now she is trying to make the resale shop a success. That success in turn allows Time Is Now to pull from the inventory to provide much needed household items for those living without. I am forever using Chris Anns as a holding area to take, yes take, anything and everything for the poverty stricken. Chris Ann has rent, utilities and other expenses she needs to pay to keep open.

Another summer holiday has arrived with traditional and new activities abounding. The one certainty is shared meals that can be as plain or fancy as desired. When convenience is part of the recipe, the cook appreciates new ideas. Wisconsin 7-Layer Salad features feta yogurt dressing. Cheese tortellini, red cabbage, spinach, tomatoes, red onion, bacon and mozzarella cheese are the salad ingredients. Using several ingredients, including dill weed, basil and buttermilk, Feta Yogurt Dressing is prepared just before assembling the salad. It all needs to be refrigerated at least three to four hours before serving. Stuffed Hamburger Roll begins with a loaf of French bread. Ground beef, chicken or turkey is browned with onion, then combined with canned mushroom soup and cubed cheese. The bread is sliced, a hollow is formed be pulling out some of the bread and the torn pieces are stirred into the meat mixture. Fill the bread shell, wrap in foil and bake or refrigerate until needed. Bake for about half an hour, slice and serve. What better source for Peach Pie than a cookbook from Georgia. The only ingredients are fresh sliced peaches, melted margarine, sugar, our and an egg. Pour it into the prepared pie shell, bake and enjoy.

Tip of the Week

TEE TIME

How Can I Get More Distance? From a slightly wider stance with a stiff left arm, take a three-quarter swing through the ball, not at it, and sweep it off the turf with your 9-iron or pitching wedge. Sweeping the ball compresses it, makes crisper contact and provides a higher trajectory, all of which are needed to increase distance.

Located on the corner of Broad and Wisconsin Streets, a block from downtown Lake Geneva, it stands as a great example of those arts and crafts designs that make one feel a step away from the great outdoors. In fact, the great outdoors is at the root of Horticultural Hall. The hall, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011, started with the Lake Geneva Fresh Air Association. Founded in 1877, the association was comprised of well-to-do lake residents. That society raised money for a camp called Holiday Home, designed for underprivileged city children from Chicago. Their fund-raising efforts were augmented by summer fairs held on the estates. Fruits and vegetables were auctioned off. According to D.C. Maxwells Lake Geneva history, a single watermelon once brought in $100, a bunch of grapes $75. By 1904 the estates gardeners and foremen had established their own organization. In 1911, a horticultural society was formed by lake residents. It was decided that a building was necessary to house the groups activities. Construction was funded by a stock sale; $3,500 was raised.

f Horticultural Hall were more centrally located it would probably get more credit for its architecture.

PRIOR TO THE HALLS CONSTRUCTION in 1911, the home of local cabinet-maker and undertaker Hanna occupied the property. Hannas lots originally included a ne peach orchard. Simeon B. Chapin, a summer Lake Geneva resident, bought the land and led the development of Horticultural Hall.

THE HALL WAS BUILT by a local contractor and his two sons with architectural elements that embrace traditional wood-joining craft and exposed structure detail instead of machinery-based techniques. Stucco walls, rustic porch supports, grouped windows and wide eaves complete the exterior of the building. An enclosed garden extends from the main hall along Broad Street towards the lake. The deed, dated Feb. 16, 1911, prohibited the sale of liquor but did allow for its use. The Hall opened in 1912 with a peony show. Horticultural Hall was designed by Robert Spencer, a Milwaukee transplant who is also responsible for the design of the Lake Geneva Country Club. According to Geneva Lake Reections, a book by the publishers of At the Lake, Spencers creations had clean, modern lines but they were also inuenced heavily by English half-timbered styles. The U.S. Register of Historic Places describes Horticultural Hall design as bungalow/craftsman. According to the societys history, it is a magnicent structure built around a large grassy courtyard open to the sky and enclosed for privacy by arcades. The hall has a high-beamed ceiling and parquet oors. Use of the hall expanded with the organization of a garden club in 1915. The club was organized by the wife of the president of the Art Institute of Chicago. The depression of the 1930s lessened use of the building. During World War II membership dropped and many of the estates were subdivided. Over time stock documents were misplaced and the societys savings dried up; it was becoming increasingly difcult to get a quorum for meetings. For a time in the 1950s there was consideration of selling the Hall to the city for a bus station. The society was offered $17,000. For both monetary and aesthetic reasons, the society turned down the offer. A change from prot to nonprot status occurred. The resulting organization, the Geneva Area Foundation, took over in 1952. Horticultural Hall remains a cozy testament to the ability of architecture to set a tone. The hall is the site of a weekly farmers market in the summer a ashback to the buildings historic beginnings.

Lake Geneva Farmers Market

Now in its 102nd year, the Hall is located just north of downtown Lake Geneva on Broad Street. The craftsman bungalow is an outgrowth of the local Fresh Air Association, a philanthropic society that raised money for Holiday Home Camp. The camps mission to provide underprivileged children a summer camp experience was funded partially by produce auctions at lakeshore estate fairs. The estate owners and gardeners relished the competitive (and altruistic) events and ultimately established a horticultural society. The society needed a home; the Hall was built in 1911 and opened in 1912 with a peony show. Over the next century, Horticultural Hall also hosted a garden club, which dwindled in membership during the Great Depression--so much so that at one point, it was in jeopardy of being sold to the city for use as a bus station. However, the Halls original purpose was retained after it was established as a nonprot. Its available for private events, but the curious can also step inside on Thursdays (May through October) when the Lake Geneva Farmers Market is open for business. Savvy shoppers can pick up fresh mushrooms, preserves, artisan cheeses, baked goods and of course, fresh fruits, vegetables, plants and cut owers.

ocals and visitors have always known that Lake Geneva is special. But its nice to have an ofcial designation. In 2009 the National Trust for Historic Preservation honored Lake Geneva as one of its dozen Distinctive Destinations. Every year, the trust chooses communities from across the country that meet the standards for this title. Typically, Distinctive Destinations have thriving downtowns with outstanding architecture and character, as well as unique identity and commitment to preservation. Lake Geneva was one of 150 communities in the running for 2009, and was the only Wisconsin community on the list. Factors that contributed to the honor include Lake Genevas natural beauty, its shoreline estates, historical residences and downtown architecture. Whats the best way to take in all the things that make Lake Geneva a Distinctive Destination?

Walk downtown or along the Geneva Lake shorepath and take in the scenery both natural and manmade.

Lawn care enthusiasts put lots of time and effort into their lawns and take great pride when that work pays off with a luscious green lawn. But no lawn is immune to problems, and even the most well-maintained property can develop issues that compromise the lawns health and aesthetic appeal. Moss is one potential lawn issue that many greenthumbers would prefer to avoid. While moss is not always harmful, it can be unsightly and lawn care enthusiasts may spend a signicant amount of money attempting to control it. Controlling moss can be costly, but there are some ways to control moss that will not cost homeowners much money at all. Before addressing moss in your yard, it helps to understand why moss grows and then look at the vari-

ous ways to control it once it does. What causes moss growth? Moss can grow in a yard for a variety of reasons, but the most common cause of moss growth is insufcient sunlight to support the grass. Sunlight might be blocked by shade from nearby trees or shrubs or even shadows from your home. Soil conditions may also be responsible for moss growth. Soil that is very acidic can promote moss growth, and the moss that grows because of acidic soil will appear very healthy. Compacted soil can also promote moss growth because such soil has low oxygen levels that make it hard for the turf to establish strong roots, and moss will take advantage of those weaker roots. Soil with low fertility levels is also amenable to moss, as it does not produce

a healthy turf. Unhealthy turf makes it easy for plants with a low demand for nutrients, including moss, to establish themselves. How can I solve the problem of moss growth? Moss that grows because of excessive shade can often be addressed with some minor efforts. If the shade is a result of trees or bushes, prune them regularly so sunlight can reach the turf and promote strong turf and roots. If the shade is caused by your house, then you might consider removing the existing turf and then seeding the area with a turf mix that caters to shaded areas. If moss is growing because of compacted soil, aerate the turf and soil to break it up and allow the oxygen to reach the soil. When that occurs, the turf will begin to establish stronger roots and make it more difcult for moss to grow. When soil is tested and it is determined that the soil is acidic, then the soil must be adjusted. Lime might be applied to rebalance the soil, but homeowners should consult a lawn care professional for advice as to the best way to rebalance their soil. Lawn-care enthusiasts often bristle at the sight of moss on their luscious lawns. But moss is often an easily remedied issue that homeowners can address in a variety of ways.
