The middle school maestros last march
By Kelly Meyerhofer
Special to the Regional News
One hundred and ve.
Thats how many parades Lake
Geneva Middle School band teacher
Ray Ames has led. In his 35 years of
teaching, he has marched more than
2,000 students through the streets
of downtown Lake Geneva for Home-
coming, Christmas and Memorial
Day parades.
But Ames will spend his 106th
parade on the sidelines. After more
than three decades of teaching middle
school students how to create music,
Ray Ames has retired.
After graduating from the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a
degree in instrumental music, Ames
went on to obtain his Masters of
Instrumental Music from the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin-Whitewater. His job
search led him to openings through-
out the Midwest and Ames went so
far as Alaska, looking into a program
that ew him up to the Last Frontier
in one September and back to thaw
come June.
But Ames did not have to go so far
as a quasi-Eskimo lifestyle to follow
his dream.
More than 200 applicants applied
to be the middle school band teacher
in Lake Geneva, but Ames got the
job in 1978. And hes been here ever
since.
It was the perfect job for me.
Ames explained recently after his
morning shift as boat captain on the
Duchess, one of Geneva Cruise Lines
sightseeing boats. My eight other
siblings live within a 50-mile radius
from our hometown of Delavan, so I
got to live close to my family still.
Ames spoke of his family as the
driving force behind his love of music.
As the youngest of nine, his earli-
est memories were of watching his
brothers and sisters concerts. It was
only natural to follow in their foot-
steps. Seven of his siblings went on to
become teachers.
But Ames was the only one to
pursue music education.
Its been a very rewarding career
teaching thousands of kids how to
play an instrument, Ames said.
It is this complex task teaching
a student how to play an instrument
which Ames says they will remem-
ber for the rest of their lives.
I dont remember all of the presi-
dents I had to learn in middle school,
do you? But I remember learning how
to learn. You can do that through math
or music. My job every day is to teach
a child how to learn in a fun way.
Some regard middle school as the
least desirable grades to teach.

City grounding Flyboards
FILE PHOTO/REGIONAL NEWS
FLYBOARDS MAY NO longer take to the air on Geneva
Lake. The boards have been spotted on the Bella Vista Suites
Meridiens pier.
By Chris Schultz
cschultz@lakegenevanews
Its the newest water toy to hit
Geneva Lake.
But its worn out its welcome at the
Bella Vista Suites Meridiens pier.
Flyboard Milwaukee LLC set up
a demonstration site at the pier. The
device uses a converted jet ski to blast
water into a hose that connects to a
board that straps to the riders feet. The
force of the water can lift a person up to
40 feet into the air. Two hand-held jets
help the rider keep his or her balance.
While there are no rules in place
yet governing operation of Flyboards,
there are long-standing rules that no
commercial enterprise can use the
Bella Vista pier without special per-
mission from the Lake Geneva City
Council.
On Friday, City Administra-
tor Dennis Jordan said he informed
the business owners that they would
have to leave the pier. However, the
Flyboarders were still there Monday
morning. Jordan said late Monday that
he had heard they were still at Bella
Vistas pier. He said he intended make
sure on Tuesday morning that they
leave.
According to Jordan, a 1986 agree-
ment between the city and the land
owner limits pier use to hotel guests for
recreational purposes only.
Jordan said he believes the Fly-
board operation had been on the Bella
Vista pier for about two weeks before
questions arose over whether they
could use the pier.
The Meridien pier is on Baker Park,
a small piece of land which was dedi-
cated to the city in 1898 by a group who
owned the property at the time. The
pier is located just south of the Lake
Geneva Marina.
And that location is also a factor
in stopping the Flyboard operation,
Jordan said. Dont do it next to the
busiest place on the lake, he said.
Court cases and city resolutions
govern the use of the Meridien Hotel
pier.
The owners of the Meridien prop-
erty, Bella Vista Suites, may use the
pier and buoys (a total of four slips) for
the pleasure of their guests.

An 86-year-old Lake Geneva man is now resting at
Aurora Lakeland Medical Center, Elkhorn, after going
missing for nearly 18 hours.
The search for Eliga Roach involved a total of about 100
volunteers and two helicopters, said Lake Geneva Police
Lt. Edward Gritzner.
Mayor Jim Connors said about 20 different agencies
responded to Lake Genevas call for help in nding Roach.
He said Roach walked about a mile from his home at
Havenwood to where he was found in a wooded lot near
the citys wastewater treatment plant, on the south side of
Sheridan Springs Road to the east of Allendale Road.
When found, Roach was dehydrated and exhausted
and required hospitalization, Gritzner said.
Roach was still hospitalized Monday afternoon, but
Gritzner said family members told police he is expected to
make a full recovery.
Gritzner said Roach, a resident at Havenwood Apart-
ments, 250 Havenwood Drive, was reported missing to
police by a family member at 3 p.m. July 6.
Police on patrol began keeping a look out for Roach,
Gritzner said.

LAKE GENEVA NEWS
Nine are named in documents released last week by Archdiocese of Milwaukee
Priests linked to abuse served in county
By Robert Ireland
RIreland@lakegenevanews.net
Nine Catholic priests who served at
churches in Walworth County have been
linked to sexual abuse according to docu-
ments recently released by the Milwaukee
Archdiocese.
One of the most egregious offenders,
William Efnger, served at St. Francis de
Sales Catholic Church where he molested
at least two children.
After the allegations surfaced, Efn-
ger was quickly transferred to a church in
Sheboygan.
The nine priests have all died or have
been defrocked.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee last
week released thousands of pages of
church documents related to sexual abuse.
Below is information from the documents
about several priests with local ties.
William Efnger
Efnger was convicted in 1993 of
second-degree sexual assault of a boy, and
he was sent to prison. He died in prison
in 1996.
Efnger was transferred to St. Francis
de Sales Catholic Church on July 27, 1973,
and was then transferred to Holy Name
Parish in Sheboygan on Aug. 14, 1979.
During his time in Lake Geneva, Efn-
ger allegedly molested at least two chil-
dren.
In late 1978 or early 1979, Bill had to
leave his assignment as associate pastor
at St. Francis de Sales Parish in Lake
Geneva, The Rev. Joseph A. Janickito
wrote in a letter in 1983. In a sense, he
had to get out of town fast because of
alleged improprieties with the young son
of a certain (name redacted). I seem to
recollect that Bill admitted to having been
drinking at the time.
In 2008, a man and his brother spoke
to church ofcials about Efnger molest-
ing him when he was an altar boy at St.
Francis.
The boys brother also reported that
Efnger tried to molest him, but he was
able to avoid it.
In the early 1990s, the archdiocese
agreed to pay $5,000 a year, for up to ve
years, for the victims therapy as it related
to the abuse.
Efnger was also accused of molesting
an 8- or 9-year-old girl in the 1970s when
he entered her room at her parents home
to say good night.
Janickito wrote the letter after alle-
gations arose in Sheboygan of Efngers
misconduct. Janickito wrote that Efn-
ger had developed a reputation as a heavy
drinker, who was known to become loud
and profane at the local taverns, accord-
ing to the letter.
Parents in Sheboygan raised concerns
after several teenage boys spent the night
at the church drinking after a bingo night.
According to Janickito, some of the par-
ents thought Efnger bought the alcohol.
Michael Neuberger
Neuberger served at St. Francis
between 1979 and 1980 and left after abuse
allegations arose against Efnger. He
claimed he was having difculties at the
church. Neuberger denied having sexual
contact with anyone in Lake Geneva.
Abuse occurred in the 1960s when
Neuberger served at St. Boniface Parish
in Milwaukee, the documents state. Some
of the abuse reportedly occurred during
confessions, which occurred in Neuberg-
ers bedroom.
Neuberger admitted to having sex
with a minor, according to the documents.
Neuberger also admitted to sleeping in the
same bed as children, according to church
documents.
He was restricted from the priesthood
in 2007.
Ronald Bandle
After being accused of having sexual
contact with children, Bandle was
appointed to become the assistant priest
at St. Joseph/St. Killian Parish in Lyons
and that you assume Nursing Home Min-
istry in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee,
effective June 18, 1996, according to a
letter from the now retired Bishop Rich-
ard Sklba.
In 1993, before his appointment to St.
Joseph, the now-retired Archbishop Rem-
bert Weakland sent Bandle a letter that
instructed him to refrain from all unsu-
pervised contact with minors.
The letter also instructed Bandle to
avoid all places, persons and situations
that, from past experience, have been
occasions of serious temptation in the
area of sexual morality, according to a
letter dated July 15, 1993.
Six years later, in June 1999, Weak-
land extended Bandles term at St. Joseph
Parish until June 30, 2002. Bandle died
in 2001.
According to church documents,
Bandle was linked to a relationship with
two children, a 15-year-old in Menomonee
Falls and 12-year-old in Waukesha.
Franklyn W. Becker
In 1980, Becker was appointed as a
temporary administrator of St. Joseph
Parish, in Lyons. Becker was accused of
sexually abusing nine boys in Wisconsin
and another in California.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Susan V. Kelly
said during a court hearing, Every time I
have to read his le, Im just devastated,
according to the Milwaukee Journal Sen-
tinal.
Becker was ordained in 1964 and was
defrocked in 2007.
The rst reported incident occurred
in 1970, and it involved a parishioners
son. In February 1980, just four months
before Becker was appointed to St. Joseph
Parish, two parishioners became aware of
an unfortunate incident between Becker
and a young boy.
After the unfortunate incident,
Becker consulted with a psychologist.
However, after ve sessions Becker
reported that no further counseling was
needed, according to the documents.
Oswald G. Krusing
Krusing was ordained in 1926 and
retired in 1970. Between 1935 and 1939 he
was at St. Joseph, Lyons. The allegations
of abuse didnt come from his time at the
Lyons church.
Krusing was accused of assaulting an
11-year-old girl in 1934 at St. Catherines
Hospital, Kenosha.
The abuse went unreported for years,
until the victim was a grown woman and
her son revealed the abuse to Bishop
Richard Sklba. When the man informed
Sklba of the abuse, the bishop reportedly
said oh no, not another one, according
to church documents. Krusing was also
accused of molesting a middle school girl
in the 1950s. One report lists as many as
20 possible victims.
Michael Benham
Between 1976 and 1980 Benham was
accused of molesting a child, between the
ages of 11 and 14, at St. John Nepomuk
Parish, Racine. At that time Benham was
an associate pastor.
The information was referred to the
Racine County District Attorneys Ofce,
which declined to prosecute the case
because the statute of limitations had
past.
Benham was appointed to St. Patrick
Parish, in Elkhorn in 2000 and served
there until Feb. 1, 2004, when the allega-
tions surfaced of the past abuse.
Benham resigned. In response to the
resignation, Cardinal Timothy Dolan,
then an archbishop, wrote to Benham, I
would ask that you consider making use of
the services of a canon lawyer.
Prior to the resignation, Dolan wrote
a letter to the congregation explaining the
abuse.
Forgiveness, however, does not elimi-
nate the need for those accused to take
responsibility and to be held accountable
for their behavior, the letter states.
Benham was defrocked in 2009.

Starsh project hits the open road
By Robert Ireland
Mix nervousness, excitement and a
plan to travel more than 5,000 miles in the
family van, and you have the formula for a
college road trip.
Now sprinkle a dash of hope because
every stop will be at a charity where those
in the van will volunteer and you have the
Starsh Project.
Kai Hovden, Spencer Hartz, both of
Lake Geneva, and Wiley Koehler of Cedar-
burg met while attending Winona State
University, and the trio is traveling across
the country with stops at eight different
charities.
At each charity, the three will learn
about what the charity does and will role up
their sleeves and help out where they can.
Call it an adventure or call it a mission
because either description would be accu-
rate. The adventure/mission could also be
called lmmaking because the three will
record their experience and turn it into a
documentary.
The road trip
The rst stop was in Milwaukee at the
GIVE Shirt. The organization sells shirts
that feature the word Give. The shirts are
sold, and the proceeds go to a charity of the
buyers choosing. The Starsh Project plans
to distribute these shirts throughout the
trip.
From Milwaukee, the three will drive
about 800 miles to Pine Ridge, S.D., which
has the lowest per capita income in the
country and an 80 percent unemployment
rate.
We want to focus on the people who are
improving it, Hovden said.
Next they will travel to the Breckenridge
Outdoor Education Center in Breckenridge,
Colo. The outdoor center has high-ropes
courses, skiing and more. At the center,
people who are disabled are able to partici-
pate in these activities.
The three said they were excited to see
how the center takes blind people skiing
and helps people with disabilities experi-
ence outdoor activities.
Then, its a nearly 1,000 mile drive to
Skid Row, in Los Angeles. The Midnight
Mission provides the areas homeless people
with life essentials, job training and coun-
seling. Its goal is to provide a path from
homelessness to self-sufciency.
The group said they picked the Midnight
Mission because of its reputation for helping
people.
After the Midnight Mission, the group
will travel nearly 2,000 miles to New
Orleans, where they will visit two differ-
ent charities, The Gulf Restoration Network
and the Green Project.
The Gulf Restoration Network, created
in 1994, works toward reducing and stop-
ping pollutants from entering the Gulf of
Mexico. The Green Project reuses items that
arent typically recycled. The next stop is at
Rural Studio, which is run out of Auburn
University.
Hartz said that organization was espe-
cially excited about the Starsh Project vis-
iting them, because they have more projects
under way at the moment than volunteers.
The organization is part of the schools
architecture program, which provides
affordable housing in some of the poorest
parts of Alabama.
The nal stop is at the Equality House,
Topeka, Kan. The Equality House may be
better known for the location that sits across
the street from it.
Directly across the street is the West-
boro Baptist Church, which has created
outrage by protesting military funerals. The
church is anti-gay, and is often described as
a hategroup.
The Equality House is run by Planting
Peace, an organization thats goal is spread-
ing peace in a hurting world.
Most of the charities that the Starsh
Project is visiting have a lower national
prole, which was part of the groups goal.
However, with the recent Supreme Court
decision that said parts of the Defense of
Marriage Act was unconstitutional, the
Equality House has received some more
press. If they can meet with Fred Phelps, the
controversial minister who runs the West-
boro Baptist Church, they said they would
take that opportunity as well.
Preparing for the trip
The three left after the Fourth of July,
and met with the Regional News a week
before embarking on their journey.
The three said they remained a little
nervous about the trip, but they were mostly
excited.
We cant plan for everything and thats
what Im most nervous about, Koehler
said.
They will lm their adventure using
GoPros, a small camera that lms high-def-
inition video.
Using Facebook, they will post updates
about their trip at www.facebook.com/
starshproj.
When the group returns, it will hold a
Welcome Back Fundraiser at Simple Res-
taurant. The tickets are $10, which includes
heavy appetizers. The tickets are for sale
at Immanuel Lutheran Church and at the
restaurant. The proceeds from the event go
toward the Starsh Project.

Genoa City petition has enough signatures, one says, but hasnt been led yet
Group wants project in voters hands
By Steve Targo
steve@lakegenevanews.net
GENOA CITY Should projects that cost a half-mil-
lion dollars or more be approved by village voters or the
ofcials they elected into ofce?
Thats a question board members may have to answer
in the near future.
A group of Genoa City residents are circulating a peti-
tion which calls for direct legislation.
Basically, the group is proposing an ordinance which,
if adopted, would require all construction-related, munici-
pally-funded projects that cost $500,000 or more to be
decided on by referendum.
I already have enough signatures, said group member
Heidi Crow in a telephone interview Monday.
She said the State Government Accountability Board
told her she needed 110 signatures thats 15 percent of
those who voted in the village during the last gubernato-
rial election. Crow said she has 150 already.
But the group has not led the petition yet.
Crow said the group is thinking about collecting more
signatures. She said the group wants to send a clear mes-
sage to the board.
We heard they were talking about building a new vil-
lage hall and a lot of us feel our taxes are too high, she
said.
Crow said everyone is looking for tax relief. Not just
some tax relief all of what is expected to be provided
when the village closes its Tax Incremental Financing dis-
trict at the end of the year, she said. And, if the board is
going to build a new village hall or spend a large sum of
money on some sort of alternative, every village voters
should have the opportunity to decide the fate of such a
project, Crow said.
The consensus of many people Ive spoke to is that no
one wants to pay for a village hall, she said.
The village board has not approved any construction
project related to the village hall this year.
However, last fall, the board established a Village
Hall Committee to research solutions to space, repair and
structure concerns with the building, which is located at
715 Walworth St.
The list of problems the committee came up with range
from asbestos, air quality and roof leaks to not having
enough space for the villages police department.
On June 13, the board approved paying between
$2,500 and $5,000 for Jon Wallenkamp, of Kueny Archi-
tects, Pleasant Prairie, to study the building.
Karen Bullock, committee chairwoman and village
trustee, said in a July 3 phone interview that her commit-
tee and the board will touch base with Wallenkamp during
two separate meetings Thursday, July 11.
See related story in this weeks Regional News.
As for the petition, the village board can either accept
it, deny it or take no action.
Linda Gray, Genoa Citys attorney, said if it accepts the
petition, the board adopts the ordinance and $500,000-
plus projects need to be approved by the majority of village
voters in a referendum.
Then, the village board will have to follow what the
people say, Gray said.
If the board denies the petition or takes no action?
Crow said she spoke to a state elections ofcial Monday,
and that person told her the board has 30 days from the
time the petition is led to make a decision.
If the board denies it or takes no action, the petition is
put before village voters in a referendum.
Crow said the referendum would occur at the next reg-
ular election, which isnt until the early part of 2014. Or,
she said, a special election to take place before then could
be scheduled by the board.
Proposed ordinance
Prior to the expenditure of any funds for the
design, planning or construction of any munici-
pally nanced capital project (in whole or in part)
requiring a village capital expenditure of ve hun-
dred thousand dollars or more, the village board
shall submit to the electors of the village of Genoa
City a binding referendum to approve or disap-
prove said project. Failure of the binding referen-
dum shall preclude the village from proceeding
with the project. The wording of any referendum
shall provide the specic purpose, location and
cost of the project. This ordinance shall be in full
force and effect upon passage and publication as
provided by law.
Ofcials react to proposed referendum ordinance
Up to some or up to all?
By Steve Targo
GENOA CITY Personally? No, said Bill Antti, vil-
lage president, in a July 3 phone interview, I wouldnt sup-
port it.
He was talking about the ordinance
that may be proposed in a petition for
direct legislation. A group of Genoa City
residents are circulating the petition.
If adopted, the ordinance would
require any municipally-funded, con-
struction-related projects that cost
$500,000 or more to be approved by
the majority of village voters in a refer-
endum before it could be built, repaired,
refurbished whatever.
In a phone interview Monday, Heidi
Crow, of that group, said she was moti-
vated toward taking part in this effort because of talks
about rebuilding, remodeling or repairing the village hall.
We have no malicious feelings toward the board or
anybody, she said. Its just, please, let (the village) vote
on this.
But Antti said he has a problem with that.
A lot of people dont gather all the facts that they need
to make an intelligent decision, he said.
Antti said what often occurs is people base important
decisions on rumors not accurate information.
For example, with the village hall issue, the board
hasnt made any decision. There is no building project on
the table at this moment, he said.
How can you make a decision on (the village hall)
when we havent made a decision? he asked.
Crow said what she has heard from most people she
has talked to about the subject is people really do want
a break when it comes to taxes. Her attorney, Steve Was-
sell, said in a July 3 phone interview the reason for propos-
ing the ordinance is any time theres a potential capital
expenditure, theres a direct impact on peoples taxes in a
community as small as Genoa City.
Wassell said the proposed ordinance, if approved,
could reduce some of the workload for elected ofcials and
provide a method of monitoring nances that is consis-
tent.
I think, conceptually, (the ordinance) is a good idea
because, in this day and age, you see a lot of turnover in
government, he said.
Wassell said he hopes board members look at it objec-
tively.
But evidently, at least one board member has already
made up his mind.
Antti said board members are elected to make the deci-
sions most people may not have the time or energy to con-
duct enough research.
So is there some sort of communication failure?
In previous interviews, Antti has said he wants to
improve communication. But on July 3, he said hes not
sure the board has the best means to communicate with
people.
Architect set
to appear at
meetings
By Steve Targo
GENOA CITY There will be two chances Thursday,
July 11, to listen to a professional talk about the village
hall.
A Village Hall Committee meeting is scheduled for 1:30
p.m. at the hall, 715 Walworth St.
Karen Bullock, committee chairwoman and village
trustee, said in a July 3 phone interview that architect Jon
Wallenkamp, of Kueny Architects, Pleasant Prairie, will
give an update on where hes at in his study of the village
hall at the meeting.
But if people cant make it at 1:30 p.m., they will have a
chance to hear him speak to the village board at its regular
meeting, which starts at 7 p.m.
Bullock said the 7 p.m. presentation may not be as long
because of other village business likely to be discussed.
At both meetings, Wallenkamp is expected to discuss
his progress into the program study he was hired to com-
plete. On June 13, the board hired him for between $2,500
and $5,000.
His preliminary report is kind of like his preliminary
ndings, but it also gives the opportunity for us to tell him
additional concerns so these issues can be addressed in
his nal report, which is due July 26, Bullock said.
She said Wallenkamp is looking at the village hall
building, taking measurements and talking to the heads
of village departments and other organizations not just
the ones housed within the village hall, either. Bullock said
he is speaking with heads of the Genoa City Public Library
and the villages public works department.
Why?
All of these services are intertwined, Bullock said.
Their input is being considered because we want to hear
from anyone who has a say in these matters.
PLEASE SEE REACT PAGE 5A

Antti
GENOA CITY BLOOMFIELD / WALWORTH COUNTY
The matters are a list
of problems with the hall.
Previously, Bullock has said
there were asbestos, roof
leak and air quality prob-
lems with the current vil-
lage hall. Recently, she said
there are what is suspected
to be dead rodents within
one of the walls.
There also is a lack of
space for village depart-
ments which use the hall,
Bullock has said.
She said Wallenkamp
was asked to consider three
possibilities for the village
hall remodel, rebuild or
refurbish the building. By
refurbish, Bullock said that
means to remodel an exist-
ing village building thats
not the current hall.
As for the rumor mill,
Bullock said misinforma-
tion is ying around that
the board is pursuing a
project already. She said
there are also costs for this
nonexistent project and tax
rate gures which are also
false.
We dont have the
reports from John, so were
not even sure which way the
ship is turning, Bullock
said.
She anticipated more
information from Wallen-
kamp will come out at the
1:30 p.m. meeting.
But if people cant make
that one, or any of the July
11 meetings, there will be
more chances to talk and
obtain information later.
Bullock and Village
President Bill Antti said
there will be more commit-
tee meetings scheduled.
Village/Architect at meetings July 11
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4A
What it has, he said, are open meetings,
local news coverage and websites.
The problem is we dont get enough cit-
izen participation at the board meetings,
he said.
But people dont attend village board
meetings so much, Antti said, and when
they do, they dont stay for the entire meet-
ing. He urged village residents to attend
board and committee meetings.
He said some people also dont seem to
base their opinions on facts. Antti said hes
OK if someone doesnt agree with him and
bases their opinions on facts direct from
the source, but if its because of inaccurate
information, then I have a problem with
it.
Karen Bullock, village trustee and
chairwoman of the Village Hall Commit-
tee, said in a July 3 email that she nds it
frustrating that a petition is being circu-
lated. She also said holding referendums to
approve projects will incur higher election
costs.
To date, there have been two residents
who have attended one meeting each, and
one who came and voiced opposition to the
effort, inquired about a referendum and
then left within 10 minutes of the begin-
ning of the meeting, Bullock said. So, it
would seem that someone made the effort
to put together a petition when the only
information they have to work with is
newspaper articles, the village hall website
and whatever information may be circulat-
ing through the community.
Whatever it is, Crow said she has more
than the number of signatures required for
the petition to meet the state requirement
15 percent of the number of people who
voted in the last gubernatorial election.
She said, given the current state of the
economy, people really do want a break in
what they pay for taxes.
There is a break in the forecast because
the village is closing its Tax Incremental
Financing district, or TID.
The TID, which included 44 percent of
the village, was set up to fund infrastruc-
ture improvements. Property tax revenue
from within the TID went to pay off a loan
to implement the improvements. As such,
56 percent of the village was essentially
funding the general municipal budget.
This was credited as the reason for the
villages tax rates in recent years. However,
with the TID closing, presumably all the
villages property tax revenue will go into
the general fund.
Village ofcials have said this could
offset the burden of a village hall project.
Previously, Antti said suppose the village
tax rate is $10, and after the TID closure,
it goes down to $5. Perhaps, he said, a pos-
sible village hall project would bring the
rate up to $7.
Crow said she would like it to stay down
at $5.
Everybody is looking for some kind
of relief any kind of relief and it just
needs to happen with a vote if theyre going
to spend this much money, Crow said.
React/Opinions on ordinance
Two arrested after burglaries
GENOA CITY Two people face charges after they
allegedly broke into 332 Fellows and other village loca-
tions on July 1 at 1:07 a.m.
A press release from Genoa City Police Chief Joe Balog
states that Bryan Hampton, 18, and a 15-year-old girl were
arrested for burglary, criminal damage, trespassing and
theft. They were apprehended inside 332 Fellows, a restau-
rant named after its street address. Police believe Hampton
and the girl entered the building by breaking a window.
Hampton and the girl also are suspected of breaking
into a Hilltop Lane residence and a camper behind Boyles
Auto Repair & Align, 726 Walworth St. Balog stated they
also attempted to break into Fitzgeralds Genoa Junction,
727 Main St. Hampton and the girl are also accused of
stealing two bicycles from different residences, which they
used to get to each crime scene, Balog stated.
Hampton was taken to Walworth County Jail. The girl
was taken to a juvenile detention center.
Village weighs in on laterals
BLOOMFIELD HomeServe USA Repair Manage-
ment Corporation recently sent a mailed advertisement
to a signicant number of Bloomeld residents soliciting
insurance coverage for water laterals. In its advertising
materials, HomeServe states that property owners are
responsible for lateral repairs between the villages right-
of-way and their house and solicits insurance coverage for
water laterals.
Village of Bloomeld Village President Ken Monroe
advises that, The company is correct in stating that the
property owners are responsible for lateral repair costs
between the villages right-of-way and their house. How-
ever, property owners should contact their insurance com-
panies to see if they are already covered for a lateral damage
incident, or if they feel such coverage is warranted.
Monroe added that property owners should use
extreme caution when considering such insurance cover-
age. Property owners are urged to read the ne print of the
proposed coverage and determine if the long term costs
warrant such coverage. The village of Bloomeld does not
endorse HomeServe and HomeServe is not afliated with
the village of Bloomeld.

LAKE GENEVA NEWS
By Chris Schultz
cschultz@lakegenevanews.net
They live in the guts of snails.
They swim the warm waters of Geneva
Lake.
They attack your skin.
They die.
You itch.
Yes, its that season again.
From mid-June through July, swim-
mers at Geneva Lake beaches occasionally
experience swimmers itch.
While not a serious health hazard, it is
irritating.
So, heres the skinny on the itching,
provided by the Geneva Lake Environmen-
tal Agency.
Swimmers itch is not an indication of
polluted water.
In fact it can be considered an indica-
tion of good water quality.
Swimmers itch develops when micro-
scopic parasites, called cercariae, attempt
to penetrate human skin.
They cant live there. The cercariae die,
triggering the formation of itchy red spots,
or bumps, on the skin called cercarial der-
matitis.
The irritation can last several days, but
can be shortened if scratching is avoided.
The cercariae exists for part of their
lifetime in certain species of snails. A cer-
caria is only 1/50 of an inch long and nearly
impossible to observe with the naked eye.
In mid-June and July, the cercariae
leave the snail in search of waterfowl, a new
host to complete their life cycle.
And then they accidentally bump into
humans.
Being not too bright, the cercariae take
humans for water fowl and try to get in
under human skin.
Big mistake for the cercariae, who cant
deal with human biology, and a big bother
for humans who now have an itchy wait
until the skin can deal with the dead cer-
cariae.
Steps can be taken to decrease the risk
of acquiring swimmers itch.
Swim in water away from the shore
and avoid going into and out of the water
repeatedly. Children are often at the great-
est risk because they tend to to play in shal-
low water, where the cercariae tend to lurk.
Be aware of the direction of the wind
and waves.
Warm temperature increases the release
of the cercariae.
Steps can also be taken to prevent cer-
cariae from entering your skin. Thoroughly
towel dry immediately after leaving the
water.
This may smother, crush or bush off the
parasites before they can penetrate skin.
Alternately, swimming and sun bathing
provides an excellent chance for infection.
Fresh water showers taken immediately
after leaving the lake can also reduce the
chance of swimmers itch.
Some of the new sunscreens are said
to also reduce the chances of contacting
swimmers itch by protecting the skin from
the cercariae.
Should prevention not work, treating
swimmers itch is similar to treating mos-
quito bites. Apply a calamine or antihista-
mine lotion to the affected areas.
Swimmers itch is not contagious. It is
generally not a health threat and lasts a few
days.
However, excessive scratching can lead
to infection.
In severe cases, the infected person may
have a fever, feel nauseated, and have dif-
culty sleeping.
If these symptoms intensify or persist,
contact a physician.

Reward for information leading to suspect hits $10K
Turtle case still open
By Jade Bolack
JBolack@lakegenevanews.net
DELAVAN Efforts to nd the people
responsible for beating a snapping turtle
on a golf course have turned cold.
According to Jordan Turner of the
Global Conservation Group, the DNR
doesnt have any major leads.
The GCG, along with People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals, have raised
a $10,000 reward for information leading
to the suspect.
On June 10, a female snapping turtle
was found at Delbrook Golf Course with
injuries to her shell and head. The turtle
was treated at Fellow Mortals Wildlife Hos-
pital before being taken to Pine View Wild-
life Rehabilitation Center in Fredonia.
Delbrook is owned by the city of Dela-
van.
The turtle died June 12.
The DNR said they do not have any
major leads or suspects at this time, but
(the case) will remain open until a suspect
is apprehended, Turner said. They said
theyre working on it.
Marcus Smith, a public relations of-
cial with the DNR, said he only knew that
the investigation was continuing.
Im not the warden assigned to the
case, Smith said. What I have been told
is that the investigation is ongoing. Thats
where were at with the incident.
The warden assigned to the turtle case
did not return calls to the Regional News.
Turner said GCG still wants answers in
the case.
Were going to be doing a demonstra-
tion in August in the streets of Delavan,
he said. We want to encourage people to
come forward if they know anything. Ban-
ners will let people know about the $10,000
reward.
Turner said the group has scheduled
the demonstration for mid-August.
Last weeks Regional News incorrectly
stated the DNR investigation was closed.

Sigfried F. Widera
In 1973, Widera was convicted of sexual perversion of
an 11-year-old boy. While on probation, in 1976, Widera
was accused of molesting a boy on a shing trip at the time
Widera was assigned to St. Andrew in Delavan.
The boy was reportedly a member of the parish.
Wideras probation agent was a member of the congre-
gation, and it wasnt clear what she would do if she found out
about the incident, according to the church documents.
At this time, Widera reportedly felt that one-slip in a
three-year period wasnt a bad track record, according to
church documents.
Widera committed suicide in 2003 by jumping from a
hotel room in Mexico as federal authorities began to close
in on him.
He was facing 42 counts of child abuse in California
and Wisconsin.
Daniel A. Budzynski
Budzynski was appointed a pastor at St. Patrick in
Whitewater on Sept. 1, 1982. Budzynski admitted to mul-
tiple acts of sexual assaults during his time at the church,
according to a letter from Dolan to Pope Benedict XVI, then
Cardinal Jospeh Ratzinger, to dismiss Budzynski from the
church.
James M. Godin
Godin was accused of inappropriate behavior with a
17-year-old boy in the 1980s. He served at St. Patrick in
Whitewater and at UW-Whitewater.
Priest/Former Delavan priest said one-slip in
a three-year period wasnt a bad track record
Most band teachers hope for a coveted high school posi-
tion.
Ames was no exception. He took the job with a commit-
ment to three years and a plan to apply to high schools in
the meantime.
But I fell in love with those middle-schoolers. I became
responsible for their very rst music-making experience.
We began with lesson No. 1 how to open your case,
Ames said.
From this rather simple lesson, around 80 percent of
his students went on to continue band in high school, Ames
estimated.
Its been so gratifying to see students grow up and
keep in touch, Ames said.
How does he remember all 2,000 of his students?
Im pretty good with names Ames voice carried out
onto the lake as he paused. But I also am one of the rare
teachers willing to shell out $50 each year for a yearbook,
he confessed.
Devoting so much space to yearbooks in your home
shows how much the job has meant to Ames.
When asked in an email about Ames contributions to
the school district, Superintendent James Gottinger wrote,
Ray spent 35 years in the Lake Geneva Schools and has
established a middle school band program that is next to
none. He has dedicated his professional life to the children
of our community and is a shining example of what is great
about public education.
But its not just the administration which sang his
praises.
Mr. Ames transferred his passion for music to each
and every one of his students, said former student Meghan
Lojeski. We all walked out of LGMS with a lifelong love for
music.
Theres nothing I love more than the sound of a band,
but it was getting painful, Ames said while the boat gently
rocked back and forth. It was physically painful and I just
didnt have the energy level I needed.
Ames seems content with his summer job as a Gage
boat captain, a gig hes had since he started teaching in the
Lake Geneva area. He said it is comparable to directing a
band. When the tourist season ends, he will spend his time
composing music and hunting.
But if a part time position opens up?
Theres a need to teach that you have to feed, Ames
said. Even if youre retired.
But what about the parades? I havent had a Memo-
rial Day off since 1965. Ames looked off into the distance,
remembering the patriotic parades hes led.
When he rst started, the honorees were World War II
vets. As he has aged, the veterans now hail from the Korean
and Vietnam wars.
Itll be painful, Ames eyes teared up when asked
where he will be next Memorial Day. I dont know if Ill be
at any parade, but I know I wont be at Lake Genevas for a
while.
Ames/Theres a need to teach that you have to feed

rental of other watercraft.
Last week in a telephone interview,
Charles Lorenzi, manager of the Bella
Vista-Meridien, said he researched
Milwaukee Flyboard and said it is a
legitimate company, with operations
on Pewaukee Lake.
However, the owners apparently
didnt realize that Lake Geneva had
regulations regarding use of the piers.
They didnt have a city business
license, Lorenzi said.
Lorenzi said company representa-
tives planned to talk with the city of-
cials about necessary permits.
Later, Scott Whalen, one of the
Flyboard sales people conrmed what
Lorenzi said. Well be talking to the
city about a business license, Whalen
said.
That conversation did not happen.
Whalen said his company was
giving demonstrations off Big Foot
Beach. The companys ofce address
is given as 133 W. Oregon St., Milwau-
kee.
The yboard is a serious water
toy. The boards sell for about $6,200
each, Whalen said. And that does not
include the jet ski needed to power the
unit.
Lorenzi said he sees the Flyboards
as something new and exciting for
Geneva Lake.
Whalen said Milwaukee Flyboard
offered 40-minute Flyboard lessons
for $180. Rentals were $350 an hour
and $1,100 for four hours, after which
serious discounts kicked in to fur-
ther lower costs. The Lake Geneva
Regional News was notied of the
Flyboard companys location in Lake
Geneva by Bill Tauber, who owns a
unit at Bella Vista Suites.
Tauber accused Lorenzi and the
Bella Vista association board of direc-
tors of violating city agreements and
ordinances and for exposing Bella
Vista owners to undue and unknown
risk.
In an issue unrelated to Flyboard-
ing, Tauber and others have also led
a lawsuit against the Bella Vista board
and others for nancial mismanage-
ment and misallocation of funds.
The Flyboard was invented by
Frank Zapata, a French jetski com-
petition champion. The boards were
introduced in Qatar in 2011.
Flyboards/Well be talking to the city
By 7 p.m., it became apparent that Roach would not be
returning on his own and police began to organize a system-
atic search for him, Gritzner said.
A search grid was laid out and a call
for volunteers from area emergency ser-
vices agencies was made.
A total of seven teams of anywhere
from 15 to 25 searchers were organized,
Gritzner said.
About 40 of the volunteers were
engaged in the search at any one time,
he said.
Roach was found by reghters from
Elkhorn and Lyons who participating
in the search, Gritzner said. Roach was
found lying down in some tall weeds, he
said.
Gritzner said it was apparent that
Roach was exhausted and had laid down
to rest.
Two helicopters were involved in the
search. One from Flight for Life searched
for a while, then had to leave.
A helicopter from Air One, Winthrop
Harbor, Ill., then continued the search.
Both helicopters used thermal sensing
equipment during nighttime hours, but
the heat rising from the ground made
the infrared search difcult, Gritzner
said. And Roach was found under heavy tree canopy, which
made spotting him from the air even in daylight nearly
impossible, he said. As part of the search, a police automatic
call was made to land line phones in the area where Roach
was suspected to be wandering.
Some received those calls as early as 3 a.m. on July 7.
Gritzner said it was hoped that at least some people
might check their backyards or their immediate area for
Roach. Gritzner said Roach was tired and incoherent after
his ordeal. When asked why he had walked away from his
apartment, Roach told police that he had planned on taking
an evening stroll, Gritzner said.

Flipping the apjacks
Fontana board may create position to oversee re and rescue departments
A new boss for emergency services?
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA The village may create a
new position in charge of overseeing re
and emergency services.
Bob Moravacek, a member of the Fon-
tanas protection committee, said the vil-
lage would be better served with a merger
of re and EMS teams.
This is denitely going to help improve
the departments, he said at the July 1 com-
mittee meeting. In some spots we have a
lack of leadership, and in some spots we
have certain policy,
rules and regulations
arent being followed.
There is some disor-
ganization going on.
Village Attorney Dale Thorpe said the
idea of combining the two departments is
straight forward but not simple.
I have concerns about the public safety
director position, he said during the July
1 village board meeting. You need to turn
back to an ordinance change. Your (depart-
ment) structure is dictated by your current
ordinance.
The board
requested Thorpe
draft an ordinance
that would allow for
the new position.
Its problematic, he said. Its more
difcult than you think (to make the
change). Ill look at it with the committee
members. My goal would be to bring back a
drafted ordinance to the next village board
meeting.
Root of problem
Village President Arvid Pete Petersen
said the volunteer EMS squad has some
problems.
You know we have a problem, he said
at the protection committee meeting. In
this particular case, the purpose is to put
someone at the head of the table where the
buck stops.
Petersen said to EMS Chief Jon Kem-
mett that he should know what the prob-
lem is. Moravacek and Petersen said two
calls occurred on Saturday, June 29, that
were not handled properly.
Fontana signed a contract with
Paratech this month.

DA waiting
for reports
on shooting
By Robert Ireland
ELKHORN Before he can deter-
mine whether four deputies were jus-
tified in their use of deadly force, Wal-
worth County District Attorney Daniel
Necci is waiting for more information
about the officer-involved shooting
that took place in the town of Sugar
Creek last month.
On June 13, four Walworth County
Sheriff deputies shot and killed Jer-
emiah B. Krubert, 39, Elkhorn.
After the incident, the four depu-
ties involved in it were placed on
administrative leave, which is a stan-
dard procedure after any officer-
involved shooting.
Last week, Sheriff David Graves
said the four deputies were still on
administrative leave, but he said he
couldnt comment further on the
shooting.
The state Department of Justice
Criminal Investigation Division was
assigned to investigate the incident.
Necci said he has received some of the
investigative material, but he is still waiting for some
reports.
He also said after he receives the remainder of the
information, he may request additional documents,
which may take more time.

Woodstock Harley riders
raise cash for big cats
Jade Bolack
SHARON The rumble started
even before the more than 100 Harley
Davidson motorcycles turned onto
Town Hall Road.
Inside the Valley of the Kings
animal sanctuary, the lions started a
chorus of roars.
Claudia Marchetti and her hus-
band Carmen rode from Prospect
Heights, Ill., to hear the chorus.
Its the third year that weve
gone through the Woodstock Harley
Davidson, Marchetti said. They set
up the benet ride for Valley of the
Kings. We ride a little over an hour
up to Woodstock with a set of friends
that also ride.
From Woodstock, the Marchettis
joined the group and rode through
the back roads up to the sanctuary.
Valley of the Kings houses big
cats like lions, tigers, cougars and
panthers, but also other abused or
neglected animals rescued from
improper homes.
The ride up was very, very nice,
Marchetti said. We really enjoy going
there and seeing all the animals they
rescued.
Both Steve Amella and Marchetti
watched others feed the cats.
I thought it was cool that they
just crunch the bones, Amella said.
One cat used its paws to hold it up,
like hands.
Marchetti said shes fed animals
in the past.
Its interesting. They dont act
real hungry, she said. They like the
chicken wings and breasts. It seems
like they like taking it from their han-
dlers instead.
Big Cat Ride
Teri Molitor has coordinated the
ride from Woodstock for four years.
A friend of mine, Stefan Levy,
actually started the Big Cat Ride, she
said. He was on another ride with
another (Harley Davidson) dealer-
ship. They took him up to the sanctu-
ary, and he fell in love with the lions,
tigers and wolves.
Levy started his own ride to ben-
et the sanctuary.

Board approves contract with Paratech
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA A proposed contract to
provide daily emergency response service
for the village was approved by the village
board July 1.
The nal contract will be approved
sometime this month after attorney
review.
The proposed contract with Paratech
Ambulance Services puts a staffed Parat-
ech ambulance within the village for 12
hours a day.
Currently, Paratech ambulances are
located throughout the county, and the
closest stationed ambulance responds to an
emergency when called.
After the proposed contract is approved,
a Paratech ambulance will be stationed at
the Fontana Safety Building.
For months, the Fontana Protection
Committee, charged with handling the
villages emergency and safety services, has
discussed ways to ensure residents have
full access to care.
The committee tried to create a mutual
aid program with surrounding communi-
ties, but like previous attempts, Fontana
couldnt reach an agreement with the vil-
lages of Walworth or Williams Bay.
Village Trustee George Spadoni said
there was no choice except to approve the
contract.
Theres no doubt about it, he said. This
village has experienced a lack of coverage of
EMS services due to lack of volunteerism,
not because of lack of desire. There are calls
being unanswered. There are people that
are waiting for care. It all weighs on each of
our heads. We are responsible to act.
The contract was discussed at the pro-
tection committee just an hour prior to the
village board meeting July 1.
The committee was going to vote to hold
a decision for the contract until the next
meeting when Spadoni spoke out.
Spadoni is not on the protection com-
mittee, but he has been vocal in the discus-
sions over emergency services.
Youre putting the residents of Fon-
tana at risk every month (that this isnt
approved), he said to the committee.
Youre putting the residents at risk every-
day you dont approve the Paratech con-
tract. Its resting on your heads tonight.
Spadoni said the committee had already
taken enough time to compare contracts
with other companies that provide emer-
gency services.
(Taking) another 30 days to determine
the lost-cost bidder is the worst thing you
can do tonight, he said. We need cover-
age. We need coverage today.
Spadoni said the village board could
nd a way to fund the contract if it was
approved at the committee level.
Youll allow the board to discuss it and
nd a funding mechanism, he said. A 30-
day delay is putting somebody ... at risk. We
have documentation of our rescue squad
not responding to calls (and) being late.
(Being late by) 30 seconds costs a life.
Several committee members questioned
the contract and suggested the village hire
a full-time professional service.
Spadoni said the village should start
slowly, like the village of Walworth.
(Walworth Fire
Chief) Andy Long and
(Walworth Police Chief)
Chris Severt are highly
respected in this com-
munity for rescue, Spa-
doni said. They have a
highly-respected rescue
squad. They man it on
an eight-hour basis,
Monday through Friday.
They started slow, and
Im suggesting we do the
same.
Walworth has a contract with Metro
and has a full-time emergency service of-
cial on staff during business hours. During
the rest of the day, the village depends on
volunteers.
The proposed Paratech contract the
board approved keeps trained personnel in
the village 12 hours a day, from 6 a.m. to 6
p.m. and depends on volunteers during the
night.
Funding options
(This contract) is surely not budgeted,
Village Administrator Kelly Hayden said.
Spadoni suggested funds from the
rescue squads Friends of Fontana account
be used to pay for the rst year.
Id like the village attorney to look into
it, he said. The monies that they have in
that fund could cover approximately the
rst year of coverage (with Paratech) until
we get to the budget. If they cant provide
the services because of lack of volunteers, I
think its a reasonable request to be made.
The board requested the nance com-
mittee examine the village budget and nd
ways to fund the contract.
Its not clear what the service will cost
the village. A nal amount will be included
in the contract when ofcially approved.
Hayden said the rescue squad currently
makes about $40,000 to $50,000 a year
from response calls. Those funds could be
used for the Paratech contract, she said.
Village attorney Dale Thorpe said he
would review the contract as quickly as
possible once its submitted.
The board agreed to meet again before
Aug. 1 to approve the contract and funding
for it.
More volunteers
EMS Chief Jon Kemmett said the squad
may see new members in over the next few
months.
Through word of mouth, weve had
three people approach us who are already
in the medical eld as (Certied Nursing
Assistants), Kemmett said at the com-
mittee meeting. Theyre very interested
in becoming EMTs. We also have had two
other people apply to the squad and are
looking to take the rst responder class.
Kemmett said the squad is looking to
connect with high school students who
want to train.
We kind of hit a wall because its
summer, he said. Courtney (Castelein,
EMS captain,) has been working with the
high school to nd people there interested
in taking the rst responder class.
It may take a few months for everyone
who has applied to get through the train-
ing, Kemmett he said.

Man asked board to update ordinance
Noise a nuisance for Fontana resident
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA Efforts to keep sidewalks
and parking lots clear of leaves has at least
one Fontana resident upset.
They used their parking lot blower
twice a week. Its like the mother of all leaf
blowers, Bill Buss said of Abbey Springs.
You can hear it throughout the area. Its
not necessary for parking lots and proper-
ties around the yacht club for every single
little leaf to be blown off that property
seven days a week.
Buss said he came to the village board
in September 2011 asking for a comprehen-
sive noise ordinance.
What kind of village does Fontana
really want to be? he asked the board on
July 1. Zoning ordinances refer to a pri-
vate and peaceful community. You have
regulations on trees, the choice of lighting
xtures on your roadways show concern for
light pollution, and the planting on road-
ways are beautiful. Yet, the village lacks a
comprehensive noise ordinance.
Village Trustee George Spadoni said
the village already has a noise ordinance.
We drafted our ordinance specically
for 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. years ago to regulate the
contractors in the village, he said.
Buss said the earliest the ordinance
should allow for is 8 a.m.
I dont see why my daily alarm clock
should go off at 7 a.m. by a leaf blower,
he said. Why is it necessary to do it seven
days a week? We have a landscaper that
comes once a week. That, I think, is suf-
cient.
Buss called Abbey Springs an indus-
trial operation.
They have their (beach sand) re-piled
every morning by a Bobcat that is quite
loud, he said. Theyve changed their
schedule so its not (started) until after
8 a.m., but its still done every day of the
week.
To make Fontana a peaceful and tran-
quil village, Buss suggested the board
better regulate the noise.
This season weve had major con-
struction at (a private) property, he said.
It starts at 7 a.m. and goes sometimes in
the evening until 7 p.m. Yesterday, Sunday
(June 30), they worked most of the day. I
just cant imagine why the village puts up
with this kind of noise.
Village President Arvid Pete Petersen
said it was problem that needed to be
addressed.
Spadoni said he didnt want to over-
regulate the village.
We are already regulating private citi-
zens rights in this village pretty hard, he
said. Im not against rethinking the start
time or the end time (of the noise ordi-
nance), but we have to be careful to not
trounce other citizens inherent rights as
well.
Buss asked the trustees to visit his
property in the early morning to experi-
ence what he does every day.
I wish some of you could come out
some morning at 6 or 6:30 and see how
peaceful it is on the lake, he said. Then
at 7 a.m. we have the leaf blower and the
Bobcat with the beach and even before
that, we have the trash pick up.

after helping to extinguish
the re at Mulligans Pub

morning.
Fifteen re departments
responded to the call which
resulted in severe damage
to the basement, where
the re apparently started,
and moderate damage else-
where.
No one was hurt, said
Delavans Assistant Fire

The department was called
at 4:30 a.m. It took three
hours to get the re under
control and the scene wasnt
cleared until 4:30 p.m.

any re to a major commer-
cial building.
Three years ago Mulligans

Park closing times
need clarication
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA The people have a mis-
conception about what was in the paper,
Village Trustee George Spadoni said. It was
written correctly, but theres been a lot of
chatter about this.
Spadoni said residents were confused
about potential changes to village park open-
ings and closings.
At the June Parks Commission meeting,
Police Chief Steve Olson asked the commis-
sion to reword the village parks ordinance.
Chief Olson came to our committee with
a few concerns, Trustee Cindy Wilson said.
His rst concern was that the (current) ordi-
nance did not identify the parks as we now
have. We have suggested that ... our parks are
dened as in our park and open space plan
and in our master plan.
The villages ordinance states that the
park closes at 11 p.m. Because only one park
is listed, the rules are not clear for police
enforcement. Wilson said the parks com-
mission wants the ordinance to list all of the
parks within the village.
There are two changes, she said. The cur-
rent ordinance need to be plural, parks, and
closing times need to be reviewed based on
individual park use.
Reid Park, for example, is not a park we
want to limit anyone in, Wilson said. Obvi-
ously, people are going to be in Reid Park
after 11 p.m. According to
our existing ordinance,
no person should be in
the park from 11 p.m. to
6 a.m.
Spadoni said the vil-
lage didnt want to pro-
hibit people from walk-
ing through Reid Park at
night.
The chief at no time
wants to limit people in
(Reid) Park going from
Chucks and Gordys to their cars at bar
close, he said. A lot of people think that was
the purpose of it, but it isnt the case.
Wilson said Olson asked the board to
clarify what the village meant in the ordi-
nance. He came to us and said, thats con-
fusing. Can you make a rule for each one of
your parks? Wilson said. We are going to,
as a committee, go back and look at each
park and set the opening and closing hours
(individually). The one park we were able to
look at (during the June meeting) was Duck
Pond Recreation Area. There is a sign that
says it shall be closed at dusk.
Wilson said dusk was ambiguous and
the police need a more specic rule.
There is a gate that can be closed (at
Duck Pond), she said. We said 10 p.m. (to
close) and it will open at 7 a.m. That is how
its basically always been. Were just now
dening what it is.

Neither Moravacek or Petersen would offer details
about the calls.
The time it takes for the rescue squad to respond to
calls was also questioned.
Moravacek suggested that Fire Chief Wolfgang Nitsch
become the new public safety chief.
Kemmett asked how combining the departments under
one leader would help the situation.
Its the same people, he said. There are about ve to
six people on the re department that arent currently on
EMS. We have about 10 people on EMS that arent on re.
Weve been working the last number of months with re
assisting us on calls. Its been working out. Our people are
really curious on how a merger (would work).
Moravacek said there was disorganization that could
be xed with new leadership over both departments.
We need someone to go through (the issues), from top
to bottom, he said.
Assistant Fire Chief Scott Peterson said he thought the
combined units would help both departments.
I think this will improve communication between the
departments, he said. Theres a lack of communication
among ofcers. This needs to stop. Everybody needs to
work together. Its for efciency of operations and for the
betterment of the public.
Emergency services/
Response times questioned
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
What happened?
According to the sheriffs ofce press release, depu-
ties responded to N7248 Highway O in the Town of La
Grange for a report of a home invasion in progress. Depu-
ties encountered Krubert, who had broken into the home,
which is owned by Michael J. Boyd, 54, and his girlfriend,
Kathleen M. Krubert, 58, Jeremiahs mother.
Jeremiah Krubert allegedly beat Boyd with a metal
pipe, which caused severe injury to Boyds skull and face.
Jeremiah Krubert attempted to leave the scene in
Boyds truck, but when a deputy found him, Krubert exited
the vehicle and confronted the deputy with an edged
weapon.
The deputy red at Jeremiah Krubert several times,
but Krubert somehow managed to steal the deputys squad
car and proceeded south on Highway O toward Millard,
according to the press release.
A pursuit ensued, but Krubert crashed the squad car
at the intersection of Millard Road and Pierce Road in the
Town of Sugar Creek.
Jeremiah Krubert then got out of the squad with the
vehicles shotgun and was shot by three deputies when he
refused commands to drop the weapon, the press release
said.
Boyd was taken to Lakeland Medical Center, but due to
severe skull and facial injuries, had to be taken to another
medical facility in Milwaukee.
Krubert/Man allegedly pulled shotgun on deputies
Molitor said Levy organized the ride for four years
before he passed the work on to her.
He didnt have the time to devote to the ride like he
wanted to, Molitor said.
He asked me to coordinate it for him. I was more than
happy to do that.
All riders arrived safely at the sanctuary this year.
In the past weve had a few glitches, Molitor said.
This year it was totally under control. There were no acci-
dents, thankfully.
Amella said riders helped each other.
I didnt have a ton of friends on the ride, but a lot of
people got together, he said. There was this comrad-
ery. The whole ride there, everybody looked out for each
other.
Those riders help make the ride successful.
We raised a lot of money, Molitor said. Last year, we
raised $2,700. I dont know yet how much we made this
year. Its just a good time.
Amella drove his three-wheeled motorcycle from Chi-
cago to Woodstock to join the ride.
They call me Three-Wheeled Steve, he said. This is
my second time doing the Big Cat Ride. One of the organiz-
ers gave me a yer (for the event). It was a good 170 miles,
maybe more, to get to Sharon.
The Marchettis ride a regular two-wheeled bike with a
trike-converter.
My husband started riding and I rode on the back, she
said. I started sliding off the back a few times, so we got
the converter. He just backs the bike into this attachment.
It adds two wheels on the back.
Though she wont be driving, she plans to keep coming
with her husband.
Im sure well keep going every year, Marchetti said.
Its a nice ride up there. We take a lot of side streets.
Rest, nally
Were just there visiting and learning more about the
different animals and where theyve came from, Marchetti
said. Some of the poor things have been tortured.
Many of the animals at the sanctuary are retired from
wildlife shows, zoos and circuses, but others were caged for
breeding purposes.
It was so cool to see the big cats in their swimming
pools, Amella said. They were just chilling out in the
tubs. They were hot, too.
According to the Valley of the Kings website, many of
the cats at the sanctuary would have been killed if not res-
cued.
Its a beautiful thing to try to save these creatures,
Amella said. If they werent there (the sanctuary), there is
no place for them to go.
A major part of the Big Cat Ride is a tour of the sanctu-
ary. The volunteer members share the stories of the ani-
mals.
They did a really nice job of parking us and educating
us about the cats, Molitor said.
Amella said he likes supporting such a good cause.
Its a very worthwhile thing to support, he said. I
think its very rewarding to see the cats and be able to be
a part of that. We have wild adventures all the time, but
these are real wild animals.

Village grants
Mecum more
time to buy land
By Jade Bolack
WALWORTH Mecum now has more time to submit
building plans to the village before purchasing land in
Windmill Prairie.
The auto auction company plans to
buy land in the now-defunct subdivi-
sion on the west side of the village, but
according to Village President David
Rasmussen, Mecum has to submit
rezoning applications rst.
They have to apply for a rezone. Im
not sure if they need a conditional use
permit because garages are an allowed
use, Rasmussen said. They plan to
use the space for a storage building and
need space for backing in (semitrailers)
for loading and unloading.
The village is under a contract to
sell the land to Mecum, but the rezone has to be approved
prior to the purchase.
They dont want to buy (the land) and then have us
say we want it taken from that use, he said. They have to
bring in the plans before its nalized.
The contract had set a deadline of this month, but the
village board agreed to extend it, giving Mecum until Sep-
tember to submit the plans.
They came in with a plan, just some drawings of their
proposed building, Rasmussen said. Theyre going to
take that back (and work on it more).
Village ordinances mandate how the building and
landscaping are done to the property, and plans need to be
approved before building.
Rasmussen said Mecum may need to apply for an addi-
tional permit to allow the business to have a driveway set
right on the lot line. Typically, the village mandates space
between paved driveways and the next lot.

Lake Como man ran over Alpine
Valley employees foot
A 17-year-old Lake Como man was sen-
tenced to one year of probation after he ran
over the foot of an Alpine Valley employee.
Joseph Farmer, N3175 Evergreen Road,
pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of
reckless driving, causing bodily harm.
A 12 month jail sentence was imposed
but stayed, which means that if Farmer vio-
lates the conditions of his probation he will
have to serve the jail sentence with work-
release privileges.
His probation includes spending 30
days in jail with work-release privileges,
and paying a $300 ne. He also was ordered
to pay $50,532 in restitution.
According to the criminal complaint:
On Jan. 6 at 12:42 p.m. police spoke
to an employee of Alpine Valley who was
receiving treatment at Aurora Lakeland
Medical Center.
The employee told the deputy that he
works security at the Alpine Valley Ski
Resort, and a skier had an altercation with
ski patrol personnel.
Members of the security team
approached the skier in the parking lot, and
the skier entered his truck and began rap-
idly backing up.
As the skier backed his truck up, he
struck another vehicle. The skier pulled his
vehicle forward and ran over the foot of the
Alpine Valley employee.
The employee fell backward and struck
his head. He was taken to the hospital with
a severe concussion and was transferred to
Aurora St. Lukes Medical Center in Milwau-
kee after it was learned that his injury was
worse than rst diagnosed. The employee
suffered from severe headaches for weeks
after the incident.
When police spoke to Farmer, he admit-

Area Legion drama intensies
The Lake Geneva and Genoa
City Legion programs cant reach
an agreement on whether to allow
players to choose which team they
play for, and players, coaches and
even the state Legion commis-
sioner are fed up.
However, no resolution
will apparently be reached this
summer.
For years, each community had
its own Legion program. Then, in
an attempt to work together and
put the best possible product on
the eld, the two merged into
Geneva-Genoa. After a four-year
experiment, Lake Geneva wanted
its own program again.
Genoa City was cool with
the move, allowing Lake Geneva
guys, most of whom attend
Badger High School, to represent
their hometown on Junior and
Senior Legion squads. However,
dissension arose back in January
when Lake Geneva and Genoa
City combined to pen a letter to
the Wisconsin American Legion
Baseball commissioner.
It claims players, after grow-
ing up playing baseball for one
community, were being forced
to switch to another program in
order to be in accordance with
the rules. The rules state that
you must play for your host high
school. Lake Genevas is Badger,
and Genoa Citys is Wilmot Union
High School. If you attend Badger,
even if you live in Genoa City, you
must have a waiver signed by
coaches from both teams to play
for your new team.
The letter further states that
players were forced to switch pro-
grams simply because an adult
would not sign a piece of paper.
The letter claims if players are
forced to play somewhere they
dont want to, they will simply
quit legion baseball because they
want to play with their friends.
After several more emails and
letters from both Legion sides to
American Legion Commissioner
Roger Mathison, he said it was
just too much. It was May, and the
legion season was only a month
away. Therefore, Mathison made
this ruling:
The situation seemed to esca-
late with every call and email,
with the season fast approach-
ing, Mathison said in an email to
me July 6. I nally ruled that in
an effort to cool tempers that for
this year I would waive the rules
and allow the players to play for
whichever team they wished in
order to get the season under way
and get the players on the eld.
These tempers run deep.
Lake Geneva coach and Legion
representative Rick Schiltz went
on the record last week in a phone
conversation.
If theyre not going to abide
by the rules, theres no sense
having a Lake Geneva Legion
baseball team, he said.
What Schiltz conveniently
failed to mention is that Genoa
City may not have done anything
wrong.
According to Genoa City coach
and Legion representative Curt
Andresen, who sat down with
me Sunday morning, the proper
procedures were followed when
seven Badger kids requested to
play for Genoa City.
What Rick said is not totally
true because the commissioner
ruled the kids can play for Genoa
City, Andresen said. As far as
the waivers, Lake Geneva had
them in their hands and refused
to sign them. Its for the kids. We
probably wouldve lost a Legion
team if the kids stayed with their
base teams. Its hard enough right
now keeping teams, especially
down here. Its really sad.
Andresen said a combined
program with four teams is the
best way to go.
It was working, he said.
Numbers will go up and down
every year. Kids have football,
soccer, work, they want to not do
anything in the summer. Its also
helping the Badger High School
program.
Currently, Genoa City has
a 19U Senior Legion and a 16U
Junior Legion. Lake Geneva has
a 17U and 16U. The U means
you cant be older than that age
to be on the team. A 15-year-old
can play 19U if he or she is good
enough.
A combined program is
better because youre pulling
from a larger area, Andresen
said. Then, we would have to
waive kids from Wilmot to sign
here, because they play Genoa
City Little League.
Ultimately, Schiltz seems to
have the best of intentions. His
focus is teaching the younger
guys.
If we could work together, we
could divide guys up like it should
be, he said. I just want to teach
kids and get them at-bats.

GENOA CITY NATIVE TRAVIS STAHULAK saw his rst action last week after recovering quickly from a broken leg.
Broken leg
no problem
for Stahulak
By Mike Ramczyk
sports@lakegenevanews.net
GENOA CITY Travis Stahulak wasnt supposed to be
playing, let alone pitching.
After suffering a broken leg in early June when he col-
lided with a Badger High School teammate during a prac-
tice, the left-handed pitcher took to the mound July 1 in
Burlington for the Genoa City Senior Legion.
Stahulak limped to the mound to replace
starter Eric Nevoso, who had surrendered
a 2-0 lead. The Red Legs trailed, 3-2,
with the threat still very much alive.
But like he did all spring for Badger
High School, Stahulak relied on his
bread and butter the gas. He red three straight pitches
for strikes to fan the only batter he faced that night.
Even though it was only for three pitches, it was really
nerve-wracking and I dont remember the last time I was
that nervous taking the mound, Stahulak said. It still felt
great to be back out there and show that I can do it.
Just ve days later, and six weeks removed from start-
ing a game, Stahulak started for the rst time since the
injury, which forced him to miss Badgers playoff run.
Seemingly out of nowhere, Stahulak, who still isnt cleared
to run the bases or bat, struck out 14 batters in a 5-4 vic-
tory.
The Regional News caught up with Stahulak to talk
about the road to recovery and his goals for the rest of the
season.

wild offseason, looking for local players
Generals must salute new coach, roster
By Mike Ramczyk
sports@lakegenevanews.net
WILLIAMS BAY The owner will start at
right tackle. There is a new head coach. Nearly
all starters are gone from last season.
But in September, Lake Geneva Generals
front man Derek Diehl said he expects his team
to be where it has been the last two seasons
the playoffs.
After a successful tryout back in February
that saw the majority of the core Generals par-
ticipate, the franchise almost folded, but that
was only the beginning. By May, several starters
had left, and just last week, after the teams nal
preseason game, one nal departure meant only
three starters remained from last years playoff
team.
The trip to Williams Bay was no picnic for
a roster that predominantly resided anywhere
from 20 to 40 miles away. Some star players
even drove from Waukegan, Ill., to give it their
all for the Generals. Local players like Trevor
York, Daniel Kant-Hull and Alex Shaban either
joined new teams or moved for new jobs. At the
end of the day, semi-pro football is a game.
We went through a rough start, said owner
Derek Diehl. Its been one challenge after
another. But you cant take things personally. I
never did this to make friends. Im passionate
about the sport, and I thought it would bring
entertainment value to the area. Maybe it would
inspire young kids to play. Three-fourths of the
world is going to take care of themselves.
It was such a drastic change that Diehl
reached out to other franchises to ask what to do
about mass exodus of players.
He found out you need to build a solid core of
10 to 15 guys that wont leave for any reason.
We didnt have that team of standout char-
acter the rst two years, Diehl said.

must be resolved next summer.
The purpose of American Legion baseball is to
encourage young men to play the game and learn from it,
he stated. Teams will have to realize there will be transfer
requests from time to time, and not to deny the opportu-
nity to players who have legitimate reason to wish to play
for another team provided the accepting teams properly
report the enrollment gures.
I initially put a blog together on www.lakegenevanews.
net under Mikes Blog, which detailed Schiltzs concerns.
This opened the ood gates. Fifteen comments ensued,
ranging from parents complaining about politics in area
baseball to people claiming Genoa City provides more
advanced instruction than Lake Geneva.
Genoa City Senior Legion head coach Gary Cukla, a
varsity assistant at Wilmot, said his program is superior,
and thats why kids come from Lake Geneva to play there.
Genoa City Legion has been around for many years
and has put on the eld a very well-respected baseball
team and program, Cukla said. It is able to do this with
good coaching and very good ballplayers. This only can
start when these same kids play in the Genoa City Little
League program all through their younger years. They
attend Badger, Wilmot and Westosha Central, and these
players are looking to play more and compete at the high-
est level that they can. If a town does not have a legion
team, we are always open to have them join us to also fur-
ther their careers in baseball.
While all sides want to abide by the rules, the general
consensus is to keep kids on the eld.
If a kid doesnt want to play for me, why wouldnt I
want to sign a waiver to let him play elsewhere? Andresen
said. Kids are dropping out of baseball a lot, and its sad.
All the seniors from the high school team didnt want to
play this summer. They were moving on in life and wanted
to do other things. It hurt us, but we moved on.
This year, luckily, thanks to an exodus of players from
Lake Geneva to Genoa City, all four squads have enough
players to have a full team. With kids having to work and
go on vacations, its the more the merrier. And a lack of
players can jeopardize the program, and its bad for the
American Legion.
Genoa Citys 16U is comprised of mostly Badger kids,
with a few Wilmot guys, and the Senior Legion has guys
from Badger, Wilmot, Shoreland Lutheran, Delavan-
Darien and even Illinois. Lake Genevas clubs are strictly
Badger kids.
From all accounts Ive heard, and trust me, Ive talked
to everyone, it sounds like Genoa City is the superior pro-
gram in terms of skill development.
One source said Genoa City may teach an outelder
proper angles for a diving catch, while Lake Geneva
stresses the fundamentals of just throwing strikes or stick-
ing to fastballs.
Through July 8, both Genoa City teams have winning
records. The 16U is the defending state champion. Lake
Genevas 17U is 3-14, and I saw limited numbers at their
game against Milwaukee last week, an 18-4 loss. Tom
Ritzman went 4-for-4 to lead the team, and Derek Denecke
and Donald Schnurer each had hits. However, Schnurer
and Bryan Nugent both played out of positions, or at least
played where they probably wont play next year as seniors
at Badger High School.
Regardless of their record, you can tell the players are
passionate about the game, having fun and learning how
to improve. Andresen reiterated the kids should have the
nal choice.
We want these kids to play no matter where they want
to play, he said. Were trying to put out a good product
down here in Genoa City. Until Lake Geneva changes its
level of competitiveness at the lower levels, we will con-
tinue to get Lake Geneva kids in our Little League pro-
gram. Were not trying to take every kid thats out there.
So will these two sides ever play nice?
Right now, I dont know how we can work together,
Andresen chuckled. All you can do is put your product out
there and let the parents and kids decide.
Ive talked to both sides, the state and various coaches
and players, and have come to this conclusion keep it
about the kids.
Andresen said joining Genoa Citys program costs
around $250, and that is hard-earned money coming from
parents that want their kids to be happy and to thrive in
life.
Its in the best interest of the American Legion to allow
as many kids play as possible. Mathisons ruling was very
fair, and it was done for the right reasons.
Although it will be hard and will take a serious effort,
coaches must check their egos at the door and support
players.
Think of the kids who never see the eld during the
high school season. How are they going to get better? All
they have is summer ball. Once you kill that passion, kids
may never get it back.
I would like to see a combined program once again,
with four or even ve teams playing home games at Jonas
Field in Lake Geneva or at Krisik Park in Genoa City. Keep
the Junior Legions in Lake Geneva and older kids in Genoa
City.
Theres plenty of talent to go around, and a combined
effort will make for the most competitive product in the
long run. Also, this can streamline and make sure buddies
that have played together for a decade stay on the same
team.
Whenever I talk to Badger players about baseball, they
bring up their afnity for Genoa City baseball and playing
with their teammates since rst or second grade.
There will always be Legion baseball, and kids will
always love the game and play it for the right reasons. Its
not about the desires of certain coaches who may be reluc-
tant to change. Its about that 7-year-old kid that sits in the
stands at every Senior Legion game with his buddies and
stares in awe after his favorite player hits a home run.
That kid dreams of the day he can slug that little white
ball 350 feet or more.
Coaches, I implore you, think about that kid the next
time you want to allow your pride to take over. Its not
worth it.
Talent wins the games
you should win, but charac-
ter wins championships. Ill
miss all of them, but I dont
know if we had enough core
guys.
As players left, Diehl
was suiting up more and
more for practices. A former
college football player, the
5-foot-9, 240-pound right
tackle, now 40 years old, felt
like a kid again. He decided
it was time for a change at
the top, appointing long-
time semi-pro veteran Russ
Hayes to the head coaching
position. A Generals assis-
tant the past two seasons,
both playoff campaigns,
Hayes is a former Burling-
ton Blue Devils coach.
I put the
helmet on for prac-
tice purposes,
Diehl said. I
found out I can still
make plays, but
the recovery time
is a little longer. I
can walk off the
eld and walk the
next day, so thats
good. My wifes
not completely for
it. But Ive been
mostly healthy my
entire career. Russ
started with us but
had some ill family
members so he
was very busy. He
is experienced.
Hayes will
make offensive
calls as well, while
Diehl will handle
the defense.
The teams offensive
line, its strength the past
two seasons, is no longer
around, including the back-
ups. This also forced Diehls
hand as a player.
Starting over
So how did Diehl go back
to the drawing board?
Word of mouth.
With more than 10 years
experience in semi-pro
football, Diehl has made
many contacts over the
years. That plus the folding
of the Shorewood Monarchs
suddenly saw the Gener-
als roster shoot up from 20
guys to nearly 60.
I have to re-learn what
guys can do, Diehl said.
But I suspect it will be
business as usual. Three
years ago, we built a roster
from scratch and made the
playoffs. Then, last year, we
started 0-3 and bounced
back to make the playoffs.
But we must replace talent
and a lot of starters.
After winning its rst
playoff game as a franchise
last year, the Generals were
routed in the divisional
round of the Mid-States
Football League playoffs
by the Racine Raiders, who
eventually won the national
championship.
This year, most play-
ers are from Milwaukee, so
the troops have been driv-
ing to downtown Milwau-
kee for Tuesday practices
to accommodate everyone.
With new faces practically
everywhere, from the eld
to the sidelines, chemistry
will be integral to
success.
Guys have
only been together
four weeks, Diehl
said. But we are
getting better
every single time.
Diehl said there
arent enough local
players, and its
hard to develop a
core.
Its a double-
edged sword, he
said. Successful
high school guys
play college foot-
ball, and theres
only a four- to
ve-year window
for them. A lot get
their ll of foot-
ball. By the time
theyre 21 or 22,
theyre looking for a career
instead. We got constant
contacts from guys who just
graduated, but they show up
thinking its easy. However,
they see that we have grown
men playing and some cant
handle it.
Jamal Jones, Ben Todd
and James Watkinson are
the returning starters, and
Ryan Yunker, Davon Sims,
Martin Figueroa, Anthony
Scott, Jauchee Mouton, Jay
Jaster, Adam George and
Andrew Colin were all Gen-
erals last season.
Yunker, a Badger High
School graduate, will start
at free safety after get-
ting some playing time last
season. Yunker was a soccer
player at Badger. The 5-foot-
10, 175-pound speed demon
racked up 18 tackles against
Wauwatosa.
With so many guys
leaving, it opened the door
for others to shine, Diehl
said.
Sir G Albritton, an ath-
letic, 6-foot-6 quarterback
will run the spread offense.
In the teams second pre-
season game, a 30-19 loss
to the Wauwatosa Spartans,
Albritton dazzled with a 60-
yard touchdown run.
Quinten Hardy and Colin
will take over running back
duties. Despite losing star
receivers Ricardo Williams
and Demetrius Butler, new
receiver Quentin Lutrell
might be the fastest man
in Wisconsin, according
to Diehl. He caught a wide
receiver screen against the
Spartans, made one move
and outran everyone down
the sideline for a 75-yard
touchdown.
He has multiple state
records and ran profession-
ally, Diehl said. He blew
by everybody. Its amazing
speed. Hes one of the fast-
est guys in the league, and
we will try to get him the
ball.
Diehl said Corey Smith,
who recorded 22 tackles
against the Spartans, will
be a solid linebacker. Also,
Colin provides a power
runner they havent had in
the past. Linebacker James
Hicks, a 6-foot, 220-pound
athletic player from Mil-
waukee, should lead the
defense.
He has all the tools,
Diehl said of Hicks. Hes
very athletic and faster than
any linebacker weve ever
had. Also, we like Anthony
Williams (6-0, 230) at line-
backer.
Diehl said the team
will run a lot of Cover-2
defenses but will show mul-
tiple formations depending
on down and distance.
The O-Line is in the early
stages of recovery
after its complete
wipeout from last
year. Opposite
Diehl at left tackle
is Sean Mears, a 6-
foot-6, 310-pound
mammoth from
Milton. The Gen-
erals are develop-
ing Elkhorn native
Jesse Johnson (5-
10, 260) at center.
Todd (6-2, 330) and
Anthony Rankin
6-3, 335) will pro-
vide a right-guard-
by-committee.
Our offensive
line will be service-
able, Diehl said.
Michael Roth, a
2012 Williams Bay
High School grad-
uate, will start on
the defensive line.
Currently a Beloit College
player, Roth is a talented
pass rusher.
Hes a good kid, Diehl
said. He does it right. He
has a good work ethic and
plays at a program that
wants him to learn. Well
get him for three-quarters
of a season. Hes doing well
for us.
Another playoff run?
Though everyone is new,
and chemistry is still in its
infant stages, Diehl said hes
never had this much talent.
Across the board, we
have way more skills than
last year, he said.
Diehl said the receiving
corps has upgraded. With-
out two stars, quarterbacks
arent relying on certain
targets. They are hitting
whatever guy is open.
Along with Albritton,
Jaster, a veteran semi-pro
player, and Williams Bay
resident Kaahlin OLaughlin
(6-0, 170) will share snaps
under center. Can these
passers help return the
team to glory?
We have some inex-
perience at the position,
Diehl said. But we have
four quarterbacks getting
playing time.
With the addition of
eight teams to the MSFL
this season, the league is
up to 21 teams, with clubs
out of Wisconsin, Illinois
and Indiana. The Gener-
als seven-game sched-
ule is loaded with former
league champions, national
champions and perennial
powers.
Playoffs are possible,
but its not a favorable
schedule, Diehl said. We
have the talent, but it needs
to gel. We can be really bad
or a Cinderella story. Well
be the underdog in every
game.
The season opener is
Saturday at Rockford, Ill.,
against the Roscoe
Rush.
I know them
well, Diehl said.
Its danger-
ous when you
know each other,
because anything
can happen. We
never had a year
where so many
quality franchises
joined. If we can
stay the course
and get a couple
division wins, we
can be in a posi-
tion to win the
division.
After all the
adversity, Diehl is
excited to take the
eld.
Lets go play
some football, he
said. We need to
stay in it until the fourth
quarter. We cant beat our-
selves at all. We must play
disciplined football.

Travis Stahulak:
My leg is stiff but as far as
pitching goes there is no
pain. I cant run or hit yet,
but pitching is no issue.
RN: Why was your
recovery so fast?
TS: After the doctors
determined that I had no
tendon damage or sepa-
ration of the ankle, my
estimated recovery time
decreased greatly. They
told me I only had a broken
bula which would not need
surgery and that I should be
healed and ready for physi-
cal therapy by late July. But
with taking good care of it
and taking calcium supple-
ments, Ive felt really good.
RN: Looking back
to when the injury hap-
pened and you knew
you had to miss the
HS playoffs, can you
believe you are on the
eld right now?
TS: When the injury
happened, I was abso-
lutely devastated to know
I wouldnt be making the
playoff run Ive waited my
entire life for. But I knew it
wasnt the end and I needed
to keep at it. I spent four
days a week in the weight
room keeping up with what-
ever exercises I could. With
my doctor initially telling
me 10-12 weeks before I
would be ready for physical
therapy, it feels unreal to be
back on the mound already.
RN: When did you
lose the crutches? What
is your current recom-
mendation from your
doctor?
TS: I stopped using my
crutches later in June and
started to just walk on my
cast. After a week of walk-
ing on it, the cast cracked
and I decided to cut it off.
My doctor currently recom-
mends staying off of it and
in a walking boot until late
July.
RN: Who helped you
get through this dif-
cult situation? Were
there times when you
wanted to give up?
TS: My parents and my
friends helped me through
the injury tremendously.
A similar injury happened
to my dad his senior year
so he knew what I was
going through. My friends
were great support right
away and got me out of the
house whenever they could
to keep me upbeat. There
were times where I wished
it would get easier and I
wanted to stop, but I knew I
had to keep at it.
RN: Last weekend,
you struck out 14 bat-
ters in a game. Where
did that come from? I
thought you are still not
100 percent?
TS: Striking out 14
guys in my rst start back
in six weeks was amazing.
I couldnt have asked for a
much better start. I couldnt
have done it without Clint
Andresen calling my pitches
and Colton Andresen let-
ting me use his brace for my
ankle. I dont know if Im
100 percent, but I felt great
last Saturday.
RN: What are your
goals for the rest of the
season?
TS: My goals for the rest
of the season will probably
just be to do the best I can
on the mound. I dont think
Ill be trying to run or play
the eld until mid-August
when I should be completely
healed.

Dear W.C.,
Could you please check on
my elderly mother?
I am disabled and living
out of state. I barely make ends
meet each month with my
own disability check and I am
unable to travel to Wisconsin
to check on her myself. I am her
only daughter. My father died
15 years ago. I worry about my
mother every day. She sends me
letters weekly because she had
to let her phone be disconnected. I send her $50 each month
hoping she spends it on food. She told me in her last letter that
she had fallen and been taken to the emergency room. I know
she must be having a very difcult time. I feel so guilty that I
am unable to care for her at this stage in her life. I suffer from
kidney disease and have to go for twice weekly dialysis.
Please let me know if you can check on my mother.
Unhealthy worried daughter
Dear readers,
I called the daughter to nd out some more details on
the mothers situation. The daughter told me she had written
a letter to her mother explaining how she had written to The
Time Is Now to Help in her behalf. Her mother is 78 years old.
The daughter truly did care about her mother but was very
sick. The kidney disease was advanced and made it impossible
for her to travel. Along with her letter, the daughter had mailed
me copies of some of her health records, showing where she
went for treatment, appointments, etc. I promised the daugh-
ter I would check on her mother.
I arrived at a very old trailer home. The mobile home
looked uninhabitable with its sagging roof and broken steps. I
had a sinking feeling the daughter was correct in her intuition
about her mothers living conditions.
I made my way up the broken stairs to the dilapidated
trailer. I knocked on the door. After several minutes the door
cracked open and a woman asked, Whos here? I began to
explain who I was, how her daughter had written worried
about her and handed her my identication and the letter from
her daughter.
She opened the door all the way and said, You are the
man my daughter said she was sending over? I answered,
Yes maam, I am. I could see she was squinting to look at the
identication and compare it to my face. She also looked at her
daughters letter conrming, Yes, my daughter wrote this.
Her glasses were old, they must not have even been updated in
years. I asked the elderly mother if I could come in to talk. She
invited me inside.
The trailer was as old inside as outside. The few pieces of
furniture she had were in as bad of shape as the trailer. The
elderly mother said, This has been my home for 30 years. I
have nowhere else to go. It is all I need at my age.
I looked around and thought to myself how this woman
really needed our help, but I could see she was very proud and
independent.
We sat to talk at a small kitchen table. I asked the woman
about her daughter and her recent trip to the emergency room.
She showed me the bruises on her arm from her fall and said
she thought she had broken her hip. I guess I am tougher than
I look. I was only badly bruised, she said.
I looked around the kitchen and noticed the appliances
did not even look like they worked. I asked if the refrigera-
tor worked and she told me to get up and check for myself. I
opened the refrigerator to nd it was cold inside but nearly
empty. I asked about her phone and she said she had to let it be
disconnected because she could not afford the bill.
I asked if she minded if I asked a few questions about her
nances. She said, Go ahead, I have nothing to hide.
I asked questions about her income and expenses. She was
living extremely frugally just to get by in the little trailer.
She was receiving Social Security, barely enough to survive.
I think we arrived just in time to prevent a complete disaster.
She had some repairs done on the furnace in the winter and
on the hot water heater in the spring. Both these repairs set her
behind in her budget for utilities. Her trip to the emergency
room had required some out-of-pocket expenses as well.
These all had set the mother back in her budget. The elderly
woman looked embarrassed as she said, I never believed in
asking for help. I always took care of myself. I didnt want to
ask my daughter for anything. She has her own health to worry
about. I asked, If we remove the stress of worrying about you
from your daughter, isnt that helping her?
The frail woman looked down at her hands and I heard
a snife. She was trying to hide her tears as she said, I dont
want her to worry about me. Ive tried so hard to hide from her
how I am struggling. Some days I barely have enough to eat.
A stack of books was piled
on the wood table of Laurie
Schinkers porch.
Laurie and a friend had
just been at a rummage sale,
where theyd acquired the
latest additions to Lauries
corner library, which is a box
full of books at the corner of
Spring and Waverly streets in
Lake Geneva.
In each book they were
afxing a book plate that says
Always A Gift. Never For Sale, and the words,
Little Free Library.
This time many of the books were for chil-
dren, so we started talking about our favorites
as a child.
Lauries friend mentioned Nancy Drew.
I said The Hardy Boys.
I loved the Hardy Boys so much, that I
made myself stop reading them so I wouldnt
read to the end of the series. Hows that for kid
logic?
For Laurie, her childhood inspiration
came from a teacher and a librarian, Mrs.
Bray, at the Elkhorn library.
Her teacher would read her part of a story
every day.
And I couldnt wait until the next day to
hear the rest of the story, Laurie mused.
On the porch with us was
Lauries husband, Jim, and
their dog Holly who seemed to
enjoy the activity as much as
anyone.
Laurie got the idea for
the Little Free Library after
watching a TV program on this
national movement last Labor
Day weekend.
Her son-in-law made the
box for the library; her daugh-
ter decorated it with quotes.
And Laurie has a certicate that declares that
she has a Little Free Library of Distinction,
according to the Little Free Library organiza-
tion.
It goes on to say that the award was due to
its unique design, creative outreach to friends
and neighbors and the enthusiasm of its stew-
ards and patrons.
The library offers free books with the
understanding that you either pass the book
along to someone or return with another book
to take its place.
I borrowed The Pilots Wife and acted
as many people do a little queasy at taking
someone elses property.
Laurie assured me it was alright in
fact it was the purpose of her little corner
library, just as she has assured others with
the same feeling. Apparently, in this me-rst,
ownership driven society, borrowing with
responsibility isnt a natural instinct.
I promised to bring another book back.
Laurie said she had enough books for now, but
I assured her anyway. That feeling of respon-
sibility will remain in the back of my mind
until I do.

SHOULD POLITICS be off limits in a childrens parade? A
Support the War Effort sign was attached to one of the
wagons in the July 4th parade in Lake Geneva, a parade aimed
at children. My answer to that question is on the wagon behind
it. Those American ags reect our nations belief in values
including freedom of speech. Whether you agree with the
sentiment expressed or not, lets not forget the freedom were all
allowed. And what better day to express it than on our nations
Independence Day? John Halverson, editor

To the Editor:
It is truly an amazing experience to have a community join
with a professional organization to improve the lives of people in
need. This occurred on June 28 and 29 at Badger High School
when the Wisconsin Dental Association, with the support of our
community of southeastern Wisconsin, hosted the Mission of
Mercy. There were approximately 2,000 patients treated as more
than 1,200 volunteers served to provide almost $1.2 million of free
dental care.
Badger High School and their staff were outstanding in facili-
tating the event. Local businesses generously donated food, ser-
vices and nancial support. The compassion exhibited by the vol-
unteers from all over the region was sincere and honest. Everyone
worked together to make this an extremely successful event.
Most importantly, many individuals who have difculty with
access to dental care were able to have some of their problems
addressed. They were so thankful for this. We know this is true
since there were many thanks, handshakes, hugs and tears for the
help they received. This would not have happened if not for the
generosity of our community. It certainly makes us proud to be
part of a community that cares about people in need.
Sincerely,
Judy Johnson and Bob Dillman D.D.S.

LETTERS
To the Editor:
Ive come to the conclusion that not only is this town upsetting
potential visitors to our town because of the parking but also the
working people of this town.
Weve complained for various reasons over the years about the
parking problem we have, which could very well have been some-
what resolved by building parking ramps over the years where
lots/land was available to purchase and build on where we could
have operated similar to an airport, etc., with hourly, day or
full day rates for the visitors to this town and made just as much
money for this even though it gives many the impression that our
town appears money hungry.
For the working people of this town, we get technically no
breaks as our two hour free parking (assuming you are a resident)
is only good for two hours and if you leave prior to your two hours
being used, you lose the rest of your time and have to plug the
meter. For those of us who dont have off-street parking available at
our places of work and who may be leaving several times a day on
appointment, it makes it very difcult if not impossible to nd free
parking. Unless we plug a meter, which I cant afford to do daily,
ve days a week, or walking from our car to our ofces and back
from four to ve blocks each time, we end up getting a ticket.
If the powers that be feel they need all the business peoples
money that bad, why dont they at least come up with a reasonable
solution where the business people who dont have the luxury of
off-street parking or are in and out so much they are unable to nd
free parking, just have an annual parking fee for them. This way
they wont have to leave their shops to plug the meter or get upset
each time that they get a ticket. Does anyone realize how costly
this is to us who have to park in the metered areas ve days a week
eight to 10 hours a day?
The only services it seems we get as citizens seems to be to pay
more and more and get less and less. There must be some kind of
compromise that our city council can come to that is reasonable.
It seems the only concern of this town is how to get more money,
but not take into consideration the retailers, etc., who the tourists
are here to see.

LETTERS POLICY
I do not have air-con-
ditioning. I never use my
lights in the evening. It was
hard to hide my problems
from my daughter once they
disconnected my phone.
I asked how she would
feel about visiting her
daughter. She looked at me
squinting, asking, How
could I ever afford that?
I said, It would be a gift
from The Time Is Now.
The mother said that
would be the most wonder-
ful gift anyone could give
her.
She said, My daughter
could really use my help
right now. I may not look
like much but I am still
capable of helping her with
her cooking and laundry.
My eyesight is not so good
but I can get around OK.
I broke my newer glasses
and am waiting until I am
eligible for a new pair. I
am wearing my old glasses
until then. Once she men-
tioned her eyesight I asked
how long until she would be
eligible for new glasses.
She said, I wont be
for another eight months.
I cant afford glasses now.
When I told her we would
pay for the gift of new
eyeglasses she sat up and
stared at me, squinting. She
said, I havent been able to
read or watch television for
months. It is so hard to see
with these old glasses.
I also told her, as I
looked around, We cannot
leave you living in here.
Then I asked, Could
we go get something to eat?
Im hungry. Knowing I had
to get past her pride. I could
tell she was weak.
At this point she looked
overwhelmed. She started
to say, See my daugh-
ter, who I have not seen in
years, buy me glasses so I
can see and now you want
to take me out to eat? No
one, ever since my husband
died many years ago, has
spent any time with me.
She broke down crying.
I tried to console her. It took
some time for her to get
over the shock of our visit
of compassionate help.
Since the daughter lived
about ve hours away, and
the mother did not drive, I
arranged for a volunteer to
drive her to the daughters.
My plan, and the daugh-
ters since we had spoke
about this earlier during
our telephone conversa-
tion, was to get the mother
to stay by the daughter. She
had always told her daugh-
ter she did not want to be in
her way. The daughter knew
her mother was proud and
would only stay if she felt
needed. That was our plan.
We went to eat together.
The senior woman was a
delight to be with. She kept
saying, Pinch me. I must
be dreaming. Her smile got
bigger and bigger each time
she said it. After the meal
her energy was restored.
She asked many ques-
tions about The Time Is
Now to Help. I told her
about all of you, those that
make our mission of help
possible.
The following week,
after she received her new
glasses and was fed good
food, the mother left for
her trip to the daughters.
When I called a few days
later to check on them the
mother said, I cant believe
there are people like you,
and all your helpers at The
Time Is Now to Help. If I
didnt let you in my door I
would never have been able
to come here to care for my
daughter. She really needs
me here. My daughter
wants me to stay! Do you
think I should?
After we spoke about
it the mother agreed to
stay. She had hardly any
belongings to worry about
at home.
Her whole life was with
her daughter. She cried as
she thanked us for our help
and handed the phone to
her daughter. The daugh-
ter only managed to get
out, Im sorry.. before she
began to cry and dropped
the phone.
After a few seconds she
picked up the phone again,
still crying, and said, I
cannot believe after all
these years, Im standing
here hugging and loving
my mother. I love her so
much and am so happy
to have her here with me.
Between my health prob-
lems and money shortage
we have not been able to see
each other for years. That
will never happen again.
We only have each other.
I cannot believe this won-
derful gift my mother and I
have received from a group
of people I never met, have
no way of ever repaying and
yet all of you at The Time Is
Now to Help have given us
our life together.
All this was said with
tears of joy and great
thankfulness. All I could
say was, God Bless both of
you. Thank you for letting
us help.

Health and happiness,
God Bless everyone,
W.C./Sal

I will continue to ask
Chris Anns Resale shop for
furniture and household
necessities to help our pov-
erty stricken fellow Ameri-
cans.
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 clean-
ing 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 with-
out.
I am forever using Chris
Anns as a holding area to
take, yes take, anything
and everything for the pov-
erty stricken. Chris Ann
has rent, utilities and other
expenses she needs to pay
to keep open.

Article ignites local memory
Last weeks article on the July 4th riots in Lake Geneva in
1967, has created quite a response. Weve received several letters
via email, a book excerpt and a copy of a story that ran in the now-
defunct feature paper, The Week. We also received a response
from someone who was on the scene who suggested an interview.
Our plan is to put all these related responses in a special package
in an upcoming week. So if you have more memories or contri-
butions, please send them to John Halverson. Pictures would be
especially useful.

Not every summertime gathering requires food
cooked on the grill or even outdoors. Prepared in the
kitchen, these simple menu items and recipes make
some delicious food for everyone. Use the time while the
chicken bakes to set a lavish table in the shade. Appetiz-
ers and beverages complete the meal.
Bastard Barbecue Chicken is seasoned with salt,
pepper and garlic salt, then sprinkled with brown sugar
and small bits of butter. It bakes in about an hour. It
makes a delicious, easy entree, even if it is a weird
name.
To go with the chicken, Baked Corn uses baking mix,
whole and cream-style corn from cans, eggs, butter and
mozzarella cheese to make a delicious dish that serves
at least eight. It can be in the oven at the same time as
the chicken.
Summer Potato Salad includes cucumber, fresh pars-
ley, radishes and cut up sweet pickle. It calls for French
dressing, so it isnt the same old thing kind of salad.
Make it the day before for convenience and flavor.
Almost everyone likes chocolate, so Frosted Marsh-
mallow Brownies are a good choice for dessert. Call-
ing for melted baking chocolate and chopped nuts, the
brownies are baked, then topped with miniature marsh-
mallows that soften in the oven. Chocolate frosting using
cocoa tops it all. They can be baked the day before, then
covered and kept cool.
BARBECUE CHICKEN
2 3-pound frying chickens, cut up
Garlic salt
Salt and pepper, to taste
Brown sugar
Butter
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Pat chicken pieces dry;
rub with salt and pepper and generous amounts of garlic
salt. Place in single layer in baking pan, using two pans
if necessary. Sprinkle lightly with brown sugar, then dot

Halverson/Little library
a neighborhood bookend
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D
One very quiet little boy comes up on his bicycle just
about every day, she said.
A group of kids came up on bikes and skateboards while
Laurie was stocking shelves. They were too shy to come
closer without an invitation - so amazed that someone
would be giving something away.
Besides childrens books, there are cookbooks and gar-
dening books and adult ction.
The day I rst visited there were books by John Grisham,
Garrison Keillor and Nora Roberts. But they might not be
there today. Circulation varies.
I dont want to make too much of a little corner library,
but its a start, a seed on several levels.
To me, Lauries library is a perfect book end to any block,
a destination for any neighborhood. In fact such destinations
are one of the elements of a good neighborhood places
where people gather, and thats just whats happened.
Its created quite a stir in the neighborhood, Laurie
said. The enthusiastic response has been wonderful.
Both of us are pleased that it might create or recreate
the love of books Lauries self-admitted obsession since
youth.
But it may stretch beyond that to the lost meaning of
neighborhoods.
As that certicate of recognition put it, the Little Free
Library movement is made up of people who support a
sense of community, reading for children, literacy for adults
and libraries across the world
Neighborhoods were once places where people lived for
decades, commiserated over the back fence and borrowed
back and forth.
In this day of fear and cultural distance, we all need an
excuse to talk to strangers.
A meeting place, a conversation point, can splinter
ethnic, socio-economic and other differences and mitigate
the fear of the unknown.
Those are lessons preached in books brought to the fore-
front by little realities like Laurie Schinkers corner library.
The Little Free Library
Is this just Pollyannaish bunk?
Not based on the global yes, global response.
All 50 states and 40 countries worldwide have been
involved in the literary program. There are currently 6,000
to 7,000 registered Little Free Libraries in the world; 40 in
Ghana alone.
The Little Free Library idea started in Hudson, Wis., in
1969 when Todd Bol mounted a wooden container designed
to look like a school house on a post.
At least 1,650,000 books have been donated and bor-
rowed says their website though Laurie asked how they
could keep track. Perhaps, the specics arent as important
as the generalization the book project has taken ight.
As Little Free Librarys website notes If this were just
about providing free books on a shelf, the whole idea might
disappear after a few months. Little Free Libraries have a
unique, personal touch and there is an understanding that
real people are sharing their favorite books with their com-
munity. These arent just any old books, this is a carefully
curated collection and the Library itself is a piece of neigh-
borhood art!

free libraries, see littlefreelibrary.org
