Krause, representing the Lake Geneva Beautiﬁcation Committee, a private nonproﬁt group that works with the city on improving public spaces, made a presentation on the proposed pavilion during the July 10 meeting of the Lake Geneva Board of Park Commissioners. Krause said that the committee is proposing that the performance pavilion be built on the site of the slab on the north end of the park, near the lagoon. Although the proposal is new, and there are no drawings, Krause said preliminary suggestions are that the structure be eight-sided, that it be 46-feet wide and 35-feet deep and that it top out at 18 feet. The new pavilion’s foundation would elevate the stage 18 inches over ground level. The architectur e would be compatcompatible with the Riviera and the nearby Flat Iron Park gazebo. “We’re trying to jazz it up and make it something special,” Krause said. Krause estimated that the pavilion would be large enough to accommodate a 50-piece orchestra. Cost of the project is estimated at $300,000. Krause said the beautiﬁcation committee will do fundraising to help pay for the structure.

Badger’s Braden retires from beat 19 years helping at high school By Chris Schultz [email protected] JOY KOWALD/REGIONAL NEWS A BOY OVERLOOKS the Lake Geneva beach through a fence at Library Park Friday, July 12. With the nice weather, Almost as much teacher a s he was cop, Ofﬁcer Ralph Braden was the face of the school liaison program in Lake Geneva for 19 years. Braden ofﬁcially retired as a Lake Geneva police ofﬁcer on July 2, after 39 years and one day wearing a badge. His last few days at the school were to work security for the Mission of Mercy free dental clinic that was in the Badger gym June 28 and 29. He was getting ready to post the No Smoking signs the day before the free clinic, when he took some time to talk with a Regional News reporter in his ofﬁce at the high school. Often wearing a broad grin under his trademark mustache, Braden took a police presence into Badger High School and he made it work. At the police station, he said, he was referred to as “teacher Braden.” “I’m going to miss Ralph,” said Lake Geneva Police Chief Michael Rasmussen. “No one is ever going to truly replace him.” Rasmussen said that Braden deﬁned the police-school liaison position. Braden’s devotion to the program and the work he put into reaching out to students and teachers was “amazing,” Rasmussen said. Braden said he’s had no trouble connecting with the students. the beach has be en ﬁlled with locals and visitors.

Direct legislation allows voters to decide by referendum on whether the village can spend money on building projects, such as a village hall. Village Attorney Linda Gray said a petition requiring direct legislation for capital improvement projects isn’t legal if it conﬂicts with an existing ordinance. The petition didn’t conﬂict with an existing ordinance until, on July 12, the board approved direct legislation for projects that cost more than $2 million. The petition was turned into the village earlier that afternoon. During the meeting, Village President Bill Antti said the petition began circulating because of “concerns about exorbitant spending by the village board.” Trustee Alan Cornue said he opposed direct legislation for two reasons. “We are generally running under a representative democracy where people are elected to the ofﬁce to make judgments to the best of their abilities,” Cornue said. “The problem with using a referendum for OBITUARIES – 3D To subscribe call (262) 248-4444 Alyce L.

Purcell, 78, Lake Geneva any issue of concern is it is very dif ﬁcult for everyone who will vote to get all the information.” The board didn’t allow any public comments during the discussion of the ordinance. Despite being told there would be no public comments during the meeting, former Village President Chuck Schuren, who helped collect signatures signatures for the direct legislation petition, asked if there was any public discussion on creating the direct legislation for $2 million. Antti responded by tell ing S churen he was out of order, to which which Schuren replied, “I know.” Antti said the citizen pe tition requ ired the board to get referendum approval before a ny money was spent. He said this wouldn’t allow the board to hire ar chitects or engineers to develop the plans to present to citizens. The ordinance that was approved doesn’t include legal mandates. For example, if the DNR tells the village it needs to build a new well, the board doesn’t need voter approval to do so. A direct legislation petition needs 15 percent of the number of people who voted in the last gubernatorial election to sign it. Once the signatures are certiﬁed, the board can approve it, deny it or take no action.

Flyboard Milwaukee LLC wants to set up a business here, but it’s gotten off on the wrong foot. First, it set up operations on the Bella Vista Suites Meridien Hotel pier, a location off-limits for commercial businesses by city resolution. According to a 1986 agreement between the city and the Meridien Hotel, the pier can only be used by hotel guests for recreational purposes. And the Flyboarding operation also failed to get a cit y business permit. Lake Geneva Police Chief Michael Rasmussen said he’s been working with the owners of Flyboard Milwaukee about the lack of a business permit. In order to get the permit, however, the operation will have to get a permanent address in the city, Rasmussen said. And that wil l not be at the hotel pier. City Administrator Dennis Jordan has since sent a letter to the company dated July 9 informing it that the pier on which they had located was off-limits to commercial businesses. The letter stipulates that the business cannot dock its boat at the pier to load people who are renting time for Fly boarding or who a re purchasing Flyboards, nor c an they fuel the boat at the pier for commercial purposes. In an interview, Jordan said he told the operators they may moor their boat at one of the Bella Vista’s piers, but it may not have any advertising signs on it. Customers, equipment and fuel will have to be loaded onto the boat outside the city limits. In his letter, Jordan advises the operators that the city limits extend from South and Forest streets to where they meet in the water. Flyboard Milwaukee was also giving demonstrations at Big Foot Beach. Rasmussen said the city attorney was reviewing the location to make sure the demonstrations were outside the city limits.

Offer Valid Through 9/30/13 Flyboards use a converted jet ski to pump water into a hose that feeds into a board that straps to the rider’s feet and two hand-held jets. The force of the water can lift a person up to 40 feet into the air, depending on the length of the hose carrying the water from the jet ski to the Fly board. The boards give the rider the ability to ﬂy, not so much like Superman, but more like Ironman. The rider literally stands on a jet of water generated by a Jet Ski and transmitted to the ﬂyboard through a hose with at least a 4-inch diameter and about 40 feet long. The Flyboard becomes the Jet Ski’s jet and will pull it along. Usually a second person sits on the jet ski to steer it. The Meridien pier, where Flyboard Milwaukee ﬁrst set up business, is on Baker Park. Baker Park is a small piece of land just south of the city pier and was dedicated to the city in 1898 by a group who owned the property at the time. Location so near the city boat launch was also a factor in stopping the Flyboard operation at the Meridien pier, Jordan said. “Don’t 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 property may use the pier and buoys (a total of four slips) for the pleasure of their guests. However, absent express approval by the city council, the Meridien pier cannot be used for the operation of personal watercraft, parasailing or rental of other watercraft. Flyboard Milwaukee was renting time on the Flyboards and offering them for sale. According to Flyboard websites, the device retails for about $6,200, not counting the price of the Jet Ski. Not everyone is happy with the Flyboards. Bill Tauber, who owns a unit at Bella Vista Suites, has been sending letters complaining about the Flyboard operation to the city council and has contacted the Lake Geneva Regional News.

Autoworks Plus & Tire Center 334 Hwy. 12 North, Lake Geneva (Across from Next Door Pub) Taxpayers in the Lake Geneva-Genoa City School district may pay less for Badger High School when they get their property tax bill next year. Warre n Flitc roft , dir ector of busin ess ser vice s for the district, presented a budget of $18.32 million for the 2013-2014 school year to the board at its annual meeting last week. As it st ands no w, that’s an 8.78 p erce nt incre ase ove r 2012-2013 projections. However, Flitcroft said in an email after the meeting, “that amount represents more of a worst case scenario for the school board on what the tax levy would be.” The hoped-for reduction, Flitcroft said, is based on the likelihood that state aids will increase. “If the district does in fact receive an additional $1.5 million in state aid rather than losing $500,000 and equalized valuations go up rather than remaining unchanged, then the average property ta x bill for schools should actually go down for next year and this would be very good f or th e commu nit y,” he said. The budget he presented was based on a $100 per pupil revenue limit increase, a 15 percent drop in state aid and no increase in the local equalized valuation, Flitcroft said. However, official numbers aren’t calculated until “If the district does in fact receive an additional $1.5 million million in state aid rather than losing $500,000 and equalized valuations go up rather than remaining unchanged, then the average property tax bill for schools should actually go down for next year and this would be very good for the community,” Warren Flitcroft, director of business services said. late October. That’s when the district gets most of the official numbers, such as the equalized valuation of the district, the more accurate pupil counts and official state aid amounts. Flitcroft said it’s been “a particularly difficult year to forecast because of the late budget approval in Madison and all of the changes that they have recently finalized.” As usua l, the dist ric t’s payr oll repre sents the largest chunk of the budget presented to the board showing a slight increase from an estimated $10.58 million for 2012-2013 to $10.88 million. Fringe benefits showed the largest percentage increase primarily because of health insurance costs going up 16 percent. Mon.-Fri. 8 am-5 pm • Sat. 8 am-Noon CBD’s Mobile Bill Pay Saves the Day!

The Geneva Cruise Line delivers mail to houses on the lake, with jumpers depositing mail and returning to the still-cruising boat. The show was scheduled to air July 16. NBC news ﬁlms mailboat jumpers LAKE GENEVA — Last week, a ﬁlm crew from the NBC Nightly News program toured the lake with the mailboat jumpers. Harold Friestad, vice president and general manager of the Lake Geneva Cruise Line, said the segment on the news program will help spur more interest for the cruise line and the Geneva Lake area. “It’s just part of the publicity we try to get for the mailboat,” he said. “The mail boat is so unique. When people hear about it, they realize it’s something they want to see.” Every summer, the Walworth, a member of the cruise line, delivers mail to residents living on the lake. Mailboat jumpers jump from the boat to the dock, deposit the mail and jump back to the boat. It doesn’t sound too risky, except the boat doesn’t stop moving. Many of the jumpers are college students home for the summer. The Lake Geneva Crui se Line posted on its Facebook page that the tour was scheduled to ai r Tuesday, July 16. Another cruise line boat will be featured on Discover Wisconsin next yea r. See a story in a future edition of the Regional News.

The property has been owned by David Laurine for about 30 years. Laurine plans on building the Genoa City Travel Center, which will be a gas st ation, restaurant and a drive-thru. Laurine’s property is located on 229-231 South Road, and is directly across the street from the park-and-ride. Laurine will construct his building in a way t hat w ill allow for more development at that location. Laurine said he started planning the development with former Village President John Wrzeszcz. He said Wrzeszcz contacted him about developing the site, which Wrzeszcz hoped would spur new economic growth. One of the roadblocks to bringing other developments to the area is a lack of a trafﬁc signal at the intersection of Highway 12 and South Road. Walgreens had expressed an interesting in building at that location, but needed a trafﬁc signal to proceed. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation informed the village there isn’t enough trafﬁc at the intersection to warrant a trafﬁc signal. Laurine said that by building the travel center the trafﬁc will increase, and this may prompt the DOT to install a trafﬁc signal. Laurine said the travel center will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. He said to staff the 12,000-square foot building he wi ll need to hi re more tha n 70 people. “We are not leasing it. It is a family project, and we are going to be around for awhile,” Laurine said. During Thursday night’s village board meeting, the board discussed numerous changes to the developer’s agreement. The board eventually approved an amended agreement with Laurine. However, the agreement won’t take affect until Laurine creates a limited liability company for his business. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Ordinance/‘This Ordinance /‘This (village board) doesn’t want to save money at all’ The petition needed 110 signatures and organizers said they collected 234. If the board denies the petition or it or takes no action, the direct legislation proposal goes to referendum. After the pet ition is submitted, the village boar d has 15 days to certify the signature s, which means the village clerk must ensure that the signatures are from eligible voters. The board moved to make the motion before the signatures were certiﬁed, which may make the petition invalid. What pushed citizens to action? The catalyst for the direct legislation petition was talks of building a new village hall. However, the village board hasn’t taken any action, or made any decision toward building a new village hall. The board created a subcommittee to examine the current village hall and make a recommendation on whether to make repairs to it, build a new one or renovate an existing building. Schuren and Dawn Lentz said building a new village hall isn’t needed and taxpayers in Genoa City are already stretched too far. “This new village hall should have been addresse d when we were gr owing. Schuren We are stagnant now, now,”” Schuren said. “This (village board) doesn’t want to save money at all.” Lentz, a resident who spoke against a new village hall during the meeting, said residents are tired of paying high water bills and taxes. “There is no reason to justify it,” she said.

This means, he said, that homeowners and businesses don’t look to the village to buy homes or open shop. Schuren said the problem with the current village hall is that the board hasn’t maintained it and it has been neglected. Antti’s view Antti disagrees with Schuren that the board has neglected the village hall and has failed to maintain it. He said the village board has made improvements to the building’s washrooms. The building was also recently painted and the carpet is new, he said. After the meeti ng, Antti said he objec ts to the petition for the same reasons Cornue gave. “We are a representative government elected by the people to make decisions for them,” Antti said. “I don’t think we do anything by handcufﬁng us from making those decisions.” Antti emphasized that the board hasn’t made a decision about the village hall and there aren’t any ﬁrm plans. “We are trying to gather information and be open and honest,” he said. Antti added that the boa rd isn’t out to upset pe ople in the village. “We don’t want to tick off the people in the village,” Antti sa id. “We are repre senting them. Some have jumped to the conclusion that we ar e going to spend money regardless. We want to be responsible with what we do.” Architect talks Architect talk s about about Villagee Hall project Villag project By Robert Ireland [email protected] GENOA CITY — The architect in charge of developing a plan for the village hall emphasized that no decisions have been made, and promised residents he would treat their money as if it was his. Jon P. P. Wallenkamp of Kueny Arch itects LLC, spoke at Thursday night’s village board meeting after several residents expressed concerns about taxes and the possibility of a new village hall. “We are telling you exactly where we are today,” Wallenkamp said a s he spoke dir ectly to t he audience. “We have toured the entire facility and we are 90 percent done collecting data.” He said every facility as old as the current village hall has its issues. “There are conditions that have to be cleaned up here,” Wallenkamp said. Wallenkamp said the boa rd has reviewed the pros and cons of repairing the building and building projects. “I look at every solution like it is my home, like it is my money,” money,” Wallenkamp sa id. The architect has also reviewed four locations for the village hall, the current location, two locations on Elizabeth Lane and one off of Walworth Street. Wallenkamp said the arch itects have ruled out the two locations on Elizabeth Lane. He said that he hopes to have some recommendation to the board by the end of the month. “It would be a piece of paper, it doe sn’t mean there’s a wrecking ball coming,” he added.

On July 10, shortly before lugging dufﬂe bags bloated with supplies for a mission trip to Kenya into the open trunks of vehicles belonging to volunteers not long before their ﬂight, he said he has no plans on leaving. With testimonials like the one prov ided by fellow pastor Joyce Rossen, why would he? “He has so many gifts, so many talents, it’s really almost impossible to think of all of them in one person,” Rossen said. It’s also uncommon for a Lutheran pastor — any pastor, these days — to remain with one church for 30 years. “I was expecting to be here three years or so, because that’s what pastors did, but we stayed here,” Metke Metke said. He could boast that what he accomplished with Trinity is the kind of thing politicians and even other church leaders often dream of, but never see fully materialize. When he arrive d at Trinity, in 1982, the church wa s “on the ver ge of collapse,” he said. “Nobody could ﬁnd it, ﬁrst of all, and it was surrounded by a junkyard.” It was also in a community people often write off. “This is the kind of place where one person said to me they’ve never seen anything good come out of Pell Lake,” he said. “It’s with that kind of attitude, where people grow up (in) a blue collar community. We realized Jesus is a blue-collar individual, and we’ve seen a revitalization here. People are proud of the community because they saw a church that was about to die rejuvenated.” Not just rejuvenated, but growing. Trinity’s congregation grew from 65 members in 1982 to currently 450, Metke said, drawing followers who live as far as 25 miles away. “We are unique,” Metke said. “We have a unique style.” Gone are the junkyard surroundings of the former church on Clover Road. For several years now, the church has deepened its roofs in 12 acres at W775 Geranium Drive, housed in a structure that’s visible to motorists traveling north and south on Highway 12. “Th is congregation didn’t have a future on Clover Road,” Metke said. “It was a unani mous decision to leave, which that in itself tells you something.” The location changed, but the man at the front of the church has remained the same. When asked why he has stayed — and why he said without hesitation that he won’t leave — could be to set an example. “I’ve taken a vow of stability,” Metke said. “People move around so much in our world … and to take a vow of stability, like monks do, this is a spiritual effort. To have a person stay in one place is a great thing.” Metke is celebrating his 30th anniversary at the church he saved in a way that’s just as unique as the church itself. He said the congregation is providing him with the opportunity to pursue a doctorate in discipleship. Metke will use Trinity as his thesis on healthy discipleships and reju venating congregations. “That’s really my gift for my 30th (anniversary), and what a legacy for the congregation, to take a green pastor and put up with all this stuff, all these changes I did. That’s the real celebration.” Or, he joked, maybe the congregation is sending him back to school because he needs extr a help. Family: Pastor Brian Metke said family “has always been strong for me.” He met his wife, Cindy, at a church camp. They are both spiritual directors and raised three children — Elissa, Lainie and Peter — in Pell Lake. Community: Metke called Trinity a “spiritual hospital” for Pell Lake. He said the church has implemented several programs to help Pell Lake become a stronger community, such as ReachOut, in which church volunteers repair homes for people who can’t do the work themselves; and provide a community garden, so people who need extra food can grow their own even if they don’t have the resources. There are also some plans to build a community playground on Trinity’s 12 acres near Highway 12 and a youth basketball court. Helping other congregations: “We realized that we had learned how to renew dying churches and we felt called to reach out and help rejuvenate congregations congregations who yearned to grow and become healthy again,” Metke said. “We invited a Hispanic Assembly of God congregation to use Trinity’s building and then developed a partnership with St. John’s Lutheran Church in Elkhorn.” Being unique A sense of humor is one cor nerstone of Metke’s vibra nt pe rsonality. But maybe he doesn’t ﬁt the usual stereotypes associated with the term “pastor.” Metke has lots of stories, much to say — as any pastor would — but his stories don’t stretch on inﬁnitely, nor is he a repetitive speaker. He still looks young and full of energy, lifting duffel bags half his size and joking with missionaries at the same time. A 1974 1974 graduate of Union Grove High School, Metke discovered his calling at Marquette University, after learning to play guitar with a campus ministry. “A priest said to me, ‘You should be a priest,’ and I said, ‘Hey, I’m Lutheran and I want to get married,’” Metke said. “Then he said, ‘You should be a pastor.’” Why? He said he is a learner who has “genuine faith.” “I have a gift set,” Metke said. “I’m a good speaker, I’m a good teacher, I have a passion to achieve. My gift set, as a leader, was there, but I was open to developing my spiritual character. … I’m still growing. I’ll never be ﬁnished.” Neither is Metke’s work in rejuvenating congregations. Recently, Metke, Rossen and Pastor Tom De Groot began working to revitalize St. John’s Lutheran Church in Elkhorn. Metke said they continue to look at struggling congregations. “I believe that’s our calling,” he said. What is the secret to restori ng a congregation? Metke said he believes God is using them. One key to success in this arena is for one to allow him or herself to be an instrument of God, he said. Another key: Loving people. “It’s “It’s not not a job,” Metke said. “We “We really care about people.” But a main focus at Trinity, the purpose of its activities, he said, is to make disciples. “Most churches don’t make disciples,” Metke said. This, he said, is also how he wants to celebrate his 30th anniversary with Trinity. “When we see churches th riving because of our ef forts a nd people developing a positive, life-changing connection with Jesus Christ, I want to celebrate with the congregation by saying, yes, with the help of God, many good things continue to come out of Pell Lake.” Which perhaps also means Metke ha s bloomed nicely.

The ﬁrst tier cost more, but has a lower deductible. The second-tier is considered a high deductible insurance plan. That insurance plan includes a $750 county contribution to individuals and a $1,500 contribution to families for their health savings accounts. Walworth County Supervisors can purchase their own health insurance directly from the board under the county’s health insurance plan. The county doesn’t contribute anything to the supervisor’s insurance if they choose to purchase it. County employees pay between 7 and 12 percent of their insurance costs. Wilson said there are 790 employees covered by the county’s health insurance, which includes 528 employees who receive family coverage. There are an additional 103 retirees, who receive health insurance beneﬁts. There are nearly 900 full-time employees in Walworth Cou nty, but some don’t receive health insurance.

[email protected] ELKHORN — Taxpayers will save nearly a million dollars when the county changes how it provides its employees’ health insurance. However, the 790 county employees enrolled in the insurance and their families will now face higher deductibles, larger out-of-pocket maximums and are responsible for more expenses. During the board’s July meeting it approved its 2014 plan for employee health insurance on a 8-3 vote with supervisors Jerry Grant, Rick Stacey and Carl Redenius opposing the change. Those supervisors supported switching to the state health insurance plan, which Grant said would have saved the county $3 million in 2014. However, the state plan didn’t include Aurora directly in its coverage. Aurora is responsible for 52 percent of the county’s health insurance claims, said Dale Wilson, the county payroll and beneﬁt manager. Wilson said that Mercy accounted for about 20 to 25 percent of the employees’ claims Since fall 2012 the county has been examining how it provides its employees health insurance and searching for ways to reduce costs. Wilson said the county asked for bids from health insurance providers. However, it only received one bid, which Wilson described as “not competitive.” The county also compared its health insurance policy to the coverage provided in similar counties.

GRAPHIC BY SARAH SCHAUF/REGIONAL NEWS State plan The state health plan is available to local municipalities. Grant said at the meeting that if the county board would adopt that plan, it would save about $3 million. “It is a different type of plan, it is an HMO instead of a PPO,” Wilson said.”It would be a big shift from what are employees are used to.” He said the state plan does offer some PPOs, but those are more expensive, for both the county and its employees. He also said the employees could have received coverage from Aurora, but it would have been signiﬁcantly more expensive for them. Wilson said the plan would have saved the county money. However, he disagreed with Grant on the amount. The state could add a surcharge when a new municipality joins the plan, Wilson said. Wilson said it was likely that t he county would have been charged a surcharge. surcharge. “We have, in our population, with 790 lives on the population, with some of those being retirees there are some signiﬁcant issues in a limited part of our population,” Wilson said. “On average I would say we are a healthy population, but we do have some larger claimaints that would raise some concerns.” Former Star Center PTO treasurer guilty of theft The former treasurer of the Star Center School PTO pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $10,000 from the group. Katherine A. Tworek, 46, N1695 Mallow Place,Bloomﬁeld, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of theft from a business setting. She was sentenced to three years of probation. A condition of her probation is that she must serve 30 days in jail with work-release privileges. She also must obtain counseling as recommended by her probation agent, provide a DNA sample, pay court cost and restitution in the amount of $11,114.26. According to the cri minal complaint: On Oct. 30, 2012, a Bloomﬁeld police ofﬁcer went to Star Center School to take a theft complaint. The ofﬁcer met with principal Lidalyn Tennessen and PTO president Kathleen Seeberg. Tennessen said that while going through the school’s budget she noticed a missing payment from the PTO. Tennessen contacted Tworek about the missing payment but wasn’t given a satisfactory reason why the payment wasn’t made. Tworek had been the PTO treasurer since October 2011. After learning of the missing payment, Seeberg retrieved the PTO’s bank statements. Seeberg identiﬁed several debit transactions and withdrawals that were not authorized including: 2011, ATM withdrawal for $350. n A Nov. 23, 2011, Nov. 25, 2011, 2011, check to the defenn A Nov. dant for $482.50. 2011,, withdrawal for n A Dec. 2, 2011 $900. 2012,, withdrawal for n A May 31, 2012 $825 for a money order to Kalex Realty Group. 2012,, withdrawal for n A June 29, 2012 $1,000, which included making a money order out to a realty group. Seeberg also stated that there were Tworek transactions made to Walmart, Dunn Lumber, Goodwill and Target during the summer months when the PTO isn’t spending much money. During a meeting with Seeberg and Tennessen, Tworek admitted to using the PTO’s debit card to pay for an electric bill because because her her wallet wallet had been stolen. stolen. Tworek said she also took some money to reimburse herself for cookbooks that she had purchased for the PTO. The school purchases cookbooks from a company named Morris. Morris reports that neither the PTO nor Tworek purchased cookbooks from them. On Jan. 7, Tworek met with a Bloomﬁeld police ofﬁcer. During that meet ing, Tworek admitted to using the PTO’s debit card to pay her rent, her electric bill and her gas bill. Tworek told police said she had received permission to do this, but Seeberg told the ofﬁcer Tworek was never given permission to use the PTO’s funds to pay personal bills.

But to the lines of of folks who come to the Lake Geneva Police Department to complain about the parking kiosks, Police Chief Mike Rasmussen has a simple message: Please stop. “People make their meter complaints at the police department,” Rasmussen told the Lake Geneva Police and Fire Commission during its July 11 meeting. “We don’t have authority over the parking meters.” For that, the city has a Parking Enforcement Department. However, the parking enforcement department, which has a summer staff of nine part-time supervisors and enforcers, is not open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The police department is. This July 4 weekend, Rasmussen dozens of unhappy parkers lined up in front of the police department’s reception window at the city hall with complaints about parking tickets, or about the parking kiosks in general. While the department tries to make an ofﬁcer available to assist persons with questions or complaints, it can’t always do that, Rasmussen said in an interview on Monday. The rush of disatisﬁed customers comes in all during the weekends and after 5 p.m. and distracts the dispatchers from their primary duty of taking 911 calls and dispatching ofﬁcers, Rasmussen said. “When you’re trying to do your job and people are screaming at you, it makes it difﬁcult,” Rasmussen said. “They just want to yell at someone because they’re upset.” Rasmussen asked the commissioners to request from city administration that a parking enforcement person be made avail- Heroin dealer’s sentencing delayed The sentencing hearing for a con victed heroin dealer was postponed Monday morning after his attorney, Elliott Price, was unable to attend the hearing. Malik D. Iseini, 35, N1985 Hafs Road, Bloomﬁeld, has pleaded guilty to three felony charges of delivering heroin and possession of a narcotic drug. Iseini also pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of resisting or obstructing an ofﬁcer and possession of drug paraphernalia. Iseini’s hearing was rescheduled for July 24 at 10:30 a.m. in front of Judge David Reddy. Iseini faces more than 70 years imprisonment. Iseini’s local attorney, Stephen Kramer, said Price was unable to attend the hearing because of medical reasons. Kramer said the sentencing could move forward if the state would accept the presentence investigation (PSI) recommendation. A PSI is done by the Department of Corrections and makes a sentencing recommen- able to handle those complaints on summer weekend evenings. He said the situation was bad enough this past July 4 that he called a meter enforcement person in to help. That raised some concerns from the city comptroller’s ofﬁcer later, he added. Rasmussen suggested that a parking enforcement ofﬁcer be on duty throughout the evenings on every summer weekend starting the week of July 4 through Labor Day to help deal with the parking complaints. In the meantime, persons with complaints can download complaint forms from the city website, www.cityoﬂakegeneva.com. The catch is, complaints can’t be ﬁled online. They must be submitted with the paid parking tickets. ALPINE VALLEY ARRESTS dation. After the Iseini resisted and the detectives hearing, Assistant struggled.

As a 1976 Badger graduate, Braden knew the school and knew many of the teachers who were still there. “Knowing the teachers and principals, it was a good ﬁt,” Braden said. Braden said he worked with the police department’s gang unit starting in the 1980s. In the ea rly 1990s, Braden was the department’s gang ofﬁcer. He was a member of t he Midwest Gang Investigators Association. Lake Geneva didn’t have any established gangs, gangs, but there were a lot of gangbanger wannabes in the city who were causi ng trouble, he said. “We didn’t have any problems in the school, yet,” Braden said.

Braden said he and former Police Chief Richard New berr y decided the best way to cut off trouble was to go where the young people wer e, in t he school. Braden moved into Badger High School as liaison in 1995. Pienkos said the goal of the liaison program was to integrate the police ofﬁcer into the life of the school. “It wasn’t just a police ofﬁcer with an ofﬁce in the school,” Pienkos said. And Brade n knew just what to do. “Here was Ralph, in plainclothes, in the hallway and talking with the kids,” Pienkos said. “He was proactive, he wasn’t just wai ting for t hings to h appen.” Pienkos said the Badger School District, then under Superintendent Superintendent Harry Van Dyke, were thinking a long the lines of a school liaison program in 1994, the same year Pienkos came on as Badger principal.

Pienkos said that in his ﬁrst year as Badger principal “we probably had the highest expulsion rate in the state of Wisconsin.” Wisconsin.” The school district applied for and received a federal grant that covered half of the cost of the program for a few years, a nd the scho ol-police li aison pro gram wa s born.

The chip-seal process consists of distributing a liquid asphalt emulsion on the roadway and covering the liquid asphalt with crushed stone to provide a new wear surface. Chip-sealing extends the life of a roadway by protecting it from moisture, provides a new wear surface and helps keep the original payment from becoming brittle. Chip-seali ng is one of the most cost effective pavement preservation procedures available. After this process is completed, a 35 mph speed limit will be posted for one week to allow adequate time for the surface to fully set up.

Teachers, Teachers, particularly social studies and civics teachers, would ask Braden to talk to their classes about the laws and law enforcement in general. Braden said he, in cooperation with the schools staff and the police and sherif f’s departments, developed safety plans for the Lake Geneva schools. He said the Lake Geneva elementary, middle and high schools have all been conducting lockdown drills, in which students, staff and law enforcement ofﬁcers practice procedures to be used in t he case of an active shooter. Braden said Lake Geneva has been conducting those drills since the 1999 Columbine school shootings. Wisconsi n didn’t make those dril ls mandator y until the next school year, Braden said. Braden also keeps his eyes open for funding to improve school security. He said that the police department applied for a $57,000 federal Save Our Schools matching grant for school security. The Lake Geneva school districts matched the grant, he said. Awarded in 2010, t he grants allowed the distr icts to add between 12 and 16 security cameras in the schools. Those cameras can be monitored from the school ofﬁces and by police computers computers as well, Braden said. The grant and matching funds also paid for several new security doors at Eastview Elementary School, he said. Braden said he never planned on being a police ofﬁcer. “I just fell into it,” he said.

The centerpiece of the project involved the renovation of the great hall, which was demolished to the structural framing before gaining a new polished cement ﬂoor. In addition, the project restored the ﬁreplaces and inserted new vertical glass doors, restoring the concept of free ﬂowing space from the courtyard through the hall and out to the porch facing the lake. The building brings the outdoors in, transforming from a warm ﬁreplace study in the winter to an inviting and exciting event space in the summer.

In June, the village boa rd approved an extension on the auto auction company’s option to buy village-owned land. During the July 15 commission meeting, Troy Giles, general legal counsel for Mecum, presented proposed plans for the storage building. “We’re starting to get a little pressed for space in our building,” Giles said. “We’re proposing proposing to build a structure immediately to the north of our building.” Giles said the building would include some ofﬁce space but would mostly be overﬂow storage for vehicles. “We would start in probably one phase and expand as we need to in the future,” he said. “The purpose of the building is going to be what the request for rez one is for, for additional storage.” The company’s property expansion will also cut down on semi-trailer trafﬁc along Fairview Drive because a between-propert y access drive would be created. “If this were a residential property, we wouldn’t allow “The purpose of the building is going to be what the request for rezone is for, for additional storage,” Troy Giles, general legal counsel for Mecum, said. access between properties,” Ron Nyman, building inspector, said. “In this case, the code does allow for it. This requires a rezone public hearing by the board (and) a conditional use permit.” Giles said the paved area connecting the two properties wouldn’t be for parking. “Our intent is to bring the vehicles through Mecum’s existing property and use the area for a loading zone,” he said. “It’s not going to be for parking, just for access between the two proper ties.” The loading and unloading of car s won’t happen in that open space, though. “We have the building designed so the trucks can drive in and we unload inside,” Giles said. “The trucks will exit and go back through (the property).” The indoor unloading will keep passers-by from seeing it, and additional landscaping will blend in with an area that was originally zoned residential. “If that area ever does open up again for homes, we’ll work with the village to make sure our lighting isn’t harming anyone,” Giles said. “We have to ﬁnd that balance of keeping our area safe but not creating light pollution for our neighbors.” Future expa nsion could be approved at the same public hearing as the ﬁrst expansion. Giles said the company could break ground for the building as soon as the spring. “We thought we would look at making the future expansion part of the conditional use permit,” Nyman said. “Then follow up when they actually (want to build) with a site plan for plan commission.” Nyman said this removes the additional step of setting another public hearing. “Tomorrow, we could literally be out of space,” he said. “It all depends on what comes up to our facility.” Scheduling a public hearing takes time. The commission has to approve a recommendation to send the rezoning public hearing to the village board. If the board approves of setting a hearing, they can schedule it as early as t wo weeks later, depending on public notice laws. Village President David Rasmussen said the rezone may not be fully approved until September. GENEVA LAKE TIDBITS Bay school days will be 15 minutes longer WILLI AMS BAY — School days in Williams Bay Elementary School wil l be 15 minutes longer starting the 201415 school year. The Williams Bay School Board voted to extend the school day at a special meeting July 11. Dianna Woss, school board president, said the change will bring the di strict more into line with state Depar tment of Instruction guidelines. Class times for math and reading were already extended, and teachers suggested that more time be devoted to language arts as well, Woss said. The school day last year went from 8:20 a.m. to 3:10 p.m. Next year, the day will start at 8:15 a.m. and run until 3:20 p.m. to give an extra 15 minutes to language arts, Woss said. Barb Isaacson, elementary school principal, did a survey of area schools and discovered some districts have already gone to seven and half hour school days. Historical Society meeting set for July 25 Fine-ar t photography by Bruce Thompson and oil painting by his late father Richard will be featured at the Historical Society of Walworth and Big Foot Prairie summer gettogether Thursday, July 25. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. at Thompson Art Gallery, N1381 Highway 14, just northwest of Walworth. Every- one, not just society members, is invited to attend. Bruce Thompson will provide a tour of his studio as well as share stories of his successful commercial photography career and his passion for high-quality artistic photography. He has won numerous awards with both color and black-and white photographs. His awards are not surprising, since his grandfather, Abijah Thompson, was a Chicago illustrator in the early 1900s and later became the art director for Montgomery Ward. Richard Thompson gained i nternational fa me as a n America n Impressionist and often was compared to the French artist Monet. Bruce will tell about his father’s many talents and eventual rise to fame. Richard Thompson, who died in 1991, focused on ﬁne art beginning in 1959. Before that he achieved success in commercial illustration by creating works for World War II bond posters and the Saturday Evening Post. He worked for Haddon Sundblom Studios in Chicago, which produced many famous Coca-Cola ad s of the era. The majority of Thompson’s work was sold through the Richard Thompson Gallery located in San Francisco, Calif. His paintings are exhibited in museums, galleries, numerous private collections and such places as Sears Roebuck, Brigham Young University, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Marquette University, Naval Art Collection at the Pentagon in Washington, Robert Louis Ste venson Academy, University of Washington, Wisconsin Memorial Park and Continental Illinois Bank. On display will be various products the gallery offers for sale such a s ﬁne art, color a nd black-and-white photography, acrylic prints, canvas prints, metal prints and posters of Geneva Lake.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Enticement/Prosecutor Enticement /Prosecutor said it wasn’t a single act, but months in the making Prosecutor’s arguments Deputy District Attorney Joshua Grube said this case is more than a man propositioning sex to a boy on the eve of his 18th birthday. Instead, Grube argued that Springsteen-Hensel used his position as a coach to gain trust and inﬂuence over a child. The presentence investigation (PSI) recommended an 11-year sentence for Springsteen-Hensel, which included seven years of initial conﬁnement and four years of extended supervision. A PSI is a report by the Department of Corrections. The PSI writer reviews the relevant facts and speaks to the victims and the defendant. Grube said Springsteen-Hensel also sent inappropriate text messages to the victim’s 15-year-old brother. Springsteen-Hensel admitted to the presentence investigator that he may have said sexually i nappropriate comments to other children, “but nobody younger than 15,” Grube said during the hearing. “This was horriﬁc for (the victim),” Grube said. “He’s a smart kid, he’s a tough kid, but this had a tremendous impact on him.” Because Springsteen-Hensel was the boy’s coach, he conﬁned in him, Grube said. “He used this as a way to build his trust and to ﬁnd common ground,” Grube said. “This is prime and glaring evidence of his grooming behavior.” Grube said after the charges against SpringsteenHensel became public other boys came forward with reports of odd behavior by the coach. Children reported to their parents that SpringsteenHensel would hug them, tell them he loved them and would make sexual comments to them. Grube said this case isn’t a single act, but instead was “months in the making.” Defense arguments Public Defender Travis Schwantes said it would be a sad day if Springsteen-Hensel was sent to prison. He pointed out to the judge that Springsteen-Hensel never performed a sex act on a child, but instead was there because he sent “extremely inappropriate text messages.” Schwantes said parents coming forward with reports of unusual behavior is the result of the charges becoming public. Schwantes said that actions t hat weren’t questioned before — hugs and comments — were now vie wed as devious. “It suffers from the hindsight bias,” Schwantes said. Schwantes said that if Springsteen-Hensel was truly using the wrestling club to groom children, the courthouse would have been ﬁlled with children that SpringsteenHensel harmed. The actual incident, Schwantes argued, involved Springsteen-Hensel sending inappropriate text message to a child 10 hours before the boy’s 18th birthday. Schwantes read some of the text messages between his client and Alonzo to Race. In at least three of the text messages SpringsteenHensel asked Alonzo, who he thought was the victim, if he wanted to back out, Schwantes said. Schwantes said Springsteen-Hensel also built up the club. When Springsteen-Hensel arrived it was a “bad-news bears organization” and is now a national powerhouse, Schwantes said. Schwantes said in the past two years he found six cases in Walworth County where men actually had sexual contact with children and didn’t receive a prison sentence or a Truckload Sale Garage Doors & Openers Special! – Take down and haul away old door for FREE! 16’x7’ NOW Save $240 • Two-Sided Steel • 5 Colors To Choose From • R-10 Insulated $835 Installed • Lifetime Warranty • Other Sizes Available Available • 2000 Garage Doors In Stock 16’x7’ 16’x7’,, 25 Gauge ...............Non-insulated Steel $685 18 Full-Size Doors On Display.

Defendants only serve “stayed” sentences if they violate the terms of their probation. If he violates the terms of his probation “he would go to prison for longer than adults who actually had sex with children,” Schwantes said. Springsteen-Hensel’s statement When given a chance to speak, Springsteen-Hensel apologized to the victim and his family. “For everything I created, the pain, anger and publicity on the victim I am sincerely sorry,” Springsteen-Hensel said. “I pray they can heal and move forward.” He said when he spent 29 days in jail after his ar rest, he “prayed they would heal from the wounds that I created.” Williams Bay Volunteer Fire Dept. 48th ANNUAL CHICKEN ROAST SATURDAY, JULY 20TH 12:00 noon to 7:00 p.m. or until the chicken is gone.

David J. Patwell, 25, now of Cross Plains, pleaded guilty Oct. 19 to felony charges of possession of child pornography and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. After Patwell ser ves h is pr ison sentence, he will spend three years on extended supervision. Deputy District Attorney Joshua Grube asked Race to send Patwell to prison, but Grube wasn’t speciﬁc about the length of sentence. The presentence investigation report (PSI) and Patwell’s attorney, John Birdsall, recommended a pro bation sentence. A PSI is a report by the Wisconsin Department Patwell of Corrections that recommends a sentence. After the hearing, Grube explained why he believes that prison was appropriate. “There were certainly a lot of concerning images, and there are real people behind these images who are profoundly affected by people viewing and sharing these images,” Grube said. “He was also an admitted drug dealer that had a loaded pistol in his desk drawer when they found him.” The Walworth County Drug unit raided Patwell’s apartment on June 10, 2010, after a conﬁdential informant purchased $1,000 worth of pot from him. “The amount of marijuana and the admission to dealing for at least a year, and the presence of at least one loaded ﬁrearm may have resulted in a prison term on its own,” Grube said. “Really by far the more serious charges were the child pornography.” pornography.” During the raid, police also conﬁscated Patwell’s computers and hard drives and found child pornography, “child erotica” and hundreds of images of bestiality. Patwell ﬁrst appeared in front of Race for a sentencing hearing in January, but Race ended the hearing after 45 minutes and continued it. This was done because it was almost 5 p.m. During the July 10 hearing, Birdsall made an argument for probation before Race sent his client to prison. During the ﬁrst court appearance, Grube said that Patwell wasn’t just simply viewing the child pornography, but he was saving the images into folders and “archiving it.” Law enforcement also examined the search terms Patwell used on search engines. The search terms sought information on performing bestiality. The loaded pistol in Patwell’s desk drawer wasn’t the only ﬁrearm police located in the apartment. Assault riﬂes and a pistol-grip shotgun were also conﬁscated. Processing server gets probation ELKHORN — A 40-year-old process server was sentenced June 12 to two years of probation after he lied about serving court papers to two people. Randy L. Ruegg of Kenosha pleaded guilty May 24 to t wo felony counts of forgery of an ofﬁcial certiﬁcation. The probation term won’t begin until he has completed his probation term in Kenosha County on unrelated charges. According to the cr iminal complaint: On Nov. 29, 2011, Walworth County Court Commissioner Kristine Drettwan made a complaint against Ruegg, a private pro- cess server, to the Walworth County Sheriff’s Department. Drettwan reported that two parties, who were supposedly served by Ruegg, adamantly claimed Ruegg that they hadn’t been served. One person was reportedly served on Dec. 19, 2010, at a private residence in Lake Geneva. Ruegg’s notarized signature appears on the afﬁdavit, indicating that he personally served the individual. On March 6, police spoke to the man who said he owns two rental properties in a private subdivision in Lake Geneva but doesn’t live there. Police spoke to both tenants on the property, who conﬁrmed no one attempted to serve papers to anyone at their residences. When police spoke to Ruegg, he admitted that the personal service on the afﬁdavit was incorrect. He said the residence was in a private gated community, and he was denied access. Police spoke to Keith Tillman of GAS Security, who oversees the subdivision’s security. Tillman reviewed the “denied access log” and reports no one was denied access into the community from Nov. 28, 2010, to Jan. 22, 2011. In the other case, Ruegg claimed he served a woman at a private residence in Aniwa. At the time of the service, the woman was in Chicago. When police spoke to Ruegg, he said he served papers to the woman. When police asked Ruegg where Aniwa was, he responded “up in Wisconsin” and “in the Madison area.” Aniwa is more than 150 miles from the Madison area, about 25 miles east of Wausau.

P. 7 - A Board member has recommended that the high school work hour for teachers be stated as 7:15 am. to 3:15 pm instead of 7:30 am – 3:30 pm.

How will it be monitored? Clarify coaches, volunteers, volunteers, etc. The DA will check with the District’s attorney for advisement. P. 45 - Last year DA Dalzin created Meet and Confer language to ease the transition from a collective bargaining agreement to an employee handbook. He recommended that the Board allow the new District Administrator to develop new language that better fits his/her style and needs for collaboration. MOVE THIS TO THE BEGINNING OF THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK, if the new DA wants to continue with this committee. Overload Pay The School Board needs to make a decision on what they believe a secondary teacher should be paid for an overload. Secondary teachers are required to teach six classes in an eight hour period day. There is no language in the past collective bargaining agreement but records indicate they were paid 1/6th of their salary. So for an example if a teacher was making $60,000, they would be paid an extra $10,000. Mr. Butters and DA Dalzin researched what other districts pay and the most we could find was $2,994 per semester which is roughly $6,000 per per year. The recommendation for the overpay was to have a flat rate of $6,000 $6,000 per overload. J. Pfeil stated he supports a flat rate of $6000. Any changes decided decided on at this meeting should be brought back to the July 8th board meeting for approval. C. Update on Interim Superintendent Selection Process DA Dalzin talked about the process and timeline for selection of the superintendent and high school school principal positions. L. Landgraf and C. Beinetti will present some final applicants to the Board at a June 15th closed session session meeting. C. Beinetti will contact the applicants. Interviews will be held on June 27 for the Interim District Administrator and a decision will be made at a July 1, 2013 meeting to be held at 5:00 pm. D. Update on High School Principal Selection Process J. Pfeil and B. Boggs will present candidates for the high school principal on June 26 and June 28, when interviews will be held. The final decision for the high school principal position will be on July 2, 2013. The Board desires to have a recommendation for both positions for the July 8, 2013 school board meeting. V.

Discus Dis cussio sion n and and possi possible b le act action ion regarding the future of Walworth County’s health plan and on-site clinic Administrator Bretl stated there has been much discussion over the past several months regarding ng health insurance. insurance. He said the county’s Tier 1 health plan is a good plan with respect to employee choice; however, it is an expensive plan relative to our peers. He stated that of seven comparable comparable counties, the Tier 1 plan is one of the highest of surrounding ng counties. He said the Tier 2 plan was also higher than average but in the ballpark of what our peer counties were. He stated over the years the county county has heard from its consultants that moving to an “off the shelf” health plan with a group of our size is not a good idea. He said that costs for an “off the shelf” health plan are the same but the county would be subject to any rate increases. He also said that an onsite clinic with a fitness facility was made part of the 2013 2013 budget. He stated that based on feedback Supervisors had received from constituents, the fitness and new construction portions of this on-site clinic were removed. Bretl stated the first option for Supervisors is that they can decide to continue with the county’s current health plan, Tier 1 and Tier 2, and they do not have to change anything. He said a second option option is the possibility of moving to the State Health Plan, which is significantly cheaper than our current plan and is more cost effective from a taxpayer perspective. perspective. He stated the State Health Plan is more limiting in terms of employee choice. He said there are several options that are free under the State Health Plan but if you do not use those providers, it is more expensive from the employee’s perspective. perspective. He stated a third option is the on-site clinic, which would be coupled with the county’s partially self-funded health plan. He said the county would not need an on-site clinic if it is decided to move to the State Health Plan because they do not give credit for an on-site clinic. clinic. He stated that the Board had discussed in closed session the potential availability of a building. He said setting up the on-site clinic does not only include the purchase price but also the costs of equipping it and operating it. He also said that if the Board chooses this route, they would be looking at a minimum of a three-year commitment. Supervisor Schiefelbein asked for clarification that with the State Health Plan, employees are tied to one health care system, which is Mercy. Vice-Chair Grant stated that is incorrect as Walworth County has eight different plans to choose from under the State Health Plan. He said that if an employee chooses MercyCare or Unity, the employee does not have to pay a premium contribution towards the plan as the entire contribution would be paid by the employer. He stated he has made arrangements with his contact at the State Health Plan to conduct a conference call with him during the Human Resources Committee meeting on Wednesday,, June 19, 2013. Supervisor Wednesday Schiefelbein asked if Aurora is available as a provider under the State Health Plan. Vice-Chair Grant stated that Aurora is not accepted by the State Health Plan as they refused to submit a quote to the State. He said that if an employee uses a clinic outside of Walworth County, the employee must pay the premiums that coincide with that county. Supervisor Schiefelbein Schiefelbein asked what providers are available in Walworth County besides Mercy and Dean. Dean. ViceChair Grant stated there is a Dean Clinic in Whitewater and Mercy is available throughout the county with the exception of the eastern portion of the county. county. He said that Unity does not have a clinic in Walworth County, but they are contracted with Mercy. He also said that if an employee wants to use other providers, the State Health Plan has plans such as the Standard Plan, Anthem, and Humana; however, the rates and out-of-pocket expenses are higher. Supervisor Schiefelbein asked about the dental and vision components of the State Health Plan. Vice-Chair Grant stated stated that currently there is limited dental offered in t he State Health Plan; however, it is anticipated that in 2014, dental plans will be available. He also stated he is not aware of any vision plans with the State Health Plan. Supervisor Schaefer asked how many employees employees utilize ze Aurora. Aurora. Nicki Andersen, Deputy County Administrator – Finance, stated that based on the total claims in 2012, 56% of those claims came from Aurora, which equated to 46% of total costs. Supervisor Schaefer stated that if the county moves to the State Health Plan, any employees that use Aurora doctors will have to switch providers. Vice-Chair Grant stated that if the county moved forward with the onsite clinic, there would be a switch of medical providers. Bretl stated the estimated savings they came up with was based on the incentive of utilizing the on-site clinic. Andersen stated the incentive was to waive copays and deductible if employees use the on-site clinic. She also said that the more people you have use the clinic, the more savings you will have. Vice-Chair Grant stated they have no guarantee as to how many employees will utilize the clinic. Andersen stated they have not factored in any change in plan design other than adding the on-site clinic. She said that unless the Board decides otherwise, they do not expect expect an increase. Supervisor Brellenthin stated he cannot support changing to an insurance company that does not recognize Aurora as a provider. provider. Chair Russell stated there are plans under the State Health Plan that accept Aurora; however, they are more expensive. ve. Vice-Chair Grant stated that with the Standard Plan, an employee can use any medical provider; however, it carries carries a higher premium. He said the maximum the employer will contribute towards the premium is $552.88 for a single plan. He also said that under the family plan of the Standard Plan, the employee would pay $985.39 towards the premium. Bretl stated the employee’s employee’s contribution for a family plan under the county’s current Tier 1 plan an is $155 per month. He also stated that under the county’s present plan, an employee can see a variety of providers. He said that if the county moves to the State Health Plan, it is cheaper for the county but it is more expensive for a more inclusive plan from the employee’s perspective. He stated the Board does not need to make a decision tonight but they need direction from the Board. Supervisor Kilkenny stated this is something that needs to be looked at if it is going to save money. He also stated he is concerned that if you are out-of-state or have an emergency, if you are allowed to see a different provider or if you would have to pay more money. Vice-Chair Grant stated if a doctor refers you to a specialist, part of the referral process is to get clearance from the insurance company to pay that bill for wherever you go. Supervisor Schiefelbein asked how the State Health Plan will affect affect retirees. He stated that it is important to know that Supervisors are not covered by the county health health plan. ViceChair Grant stated that if retirees are eligible for the county health plan then they are eligible for the State Health Plan. Plan. He also stated that any employee that has not retired yet, they will be eligible for the State Health Plan when they do retire. Supervisor Kilkenny stated that he is covered under t he county health plan and he pays the full premium. He said he would like to know know the aggregate savings if the county moves to the State Health Plan. an. Andersen stated if the county moves to the State Health Plan and an employee chooses a plan that covers Aurora, it would require employees to pay $500-$1,000 per month for their plan. Supervisor Kilkenny stated the county contribution to the premium under the State Health Plan is stable. Vice-Chair Grant suggested distributing the information he has compiled on the State Health Plan to all employees. Supervisor Weber stated listening sessions would need to be conducted so that everyone is on the same page. He said he is concerned about taking Aurora out of the picture because of the network they represent which has degrees of expertise that are available to us and our employees. He stated he is not sure the competitors have the same level of expertise even with their dynamic growth. He said we need more comparable information. information. He also said that the savings rarely are there and if there are savings, they are momentarily. Supervisor Brandl stated if the county moves to the State Health Plan, they will not see savings initially due to being subject to a surcharge the first year and possibly the second year. Vice-Chair Grant stated there may or may not be a surcharge. He said the process is that the county applies for the State Health Plan which includes submitting 24 months of medical cal payouts. He stated the State Health Plan reviews this information and determines if a surcharge would be assessed. He said the county county would be notified if they will be assessed a surcharge and what the surcharge will be before the county would agree to be a part of the program. He also said that if we are assessed a surcharge, it is for the first year then the second year is half of the surcharge. He stated the surcharge is based on the number of employees and it would be the county’s costs not the employees. employees. Andersen asked if the surcharge is subject to the 88%, and Vice-Chair Grant indicated he could obtain this information. Supervisor Schaefer asked what surrounding counties are on the State Health Plan and what their surcharge was. Vice-Chair Grant stated that Jefferson and Dodge Counties are on the State Health Plan and he is unsure of their surcharge as they have been on the plan for quite some time. Chair Russell stated that one of the advantages of being on the State Health Plan is that you are a part of a bigger pool. Bretl asked if it is a priority to reduce the county’s health insurance costs. Vice-Chair Grant stated that that is a priority to reduce insurance costs and that is why he supports the State Health Plan because it reduces the county’s costs and it keeps employees’ out-of-pocket expenses reasonable. Supervisor Stacey offered a motion, seconded by Vice-Chair Grant, to eliminate the on-site clinic as an option. Supervisor Brellenthin stated it was a bad idea to eliminate the on-site clinic if we don’t know what insurance we are going to have. Bretl stated the Board can refer this back to the Human Resources Committee and the motion to refer back to committee would take precedence over Supervisor Stacey’s motion to eliminate nate the clinic. Supervisor Kilkenny offered a motion, seconded by Supervisor Brellenthin, to refer the issue of the clinic back to the Human Resources Committee as well as fully examine the State Health Plan in order to obtain the information requested. Motion carried. Chair Russell suggested that Supervisors be in attendance at the Human Resources Committee on June 19, 2013. Administrator Bretl directed the Clerk to place Supervisor Grant’s correspondence regarding the State Health Plan information on the county’s website. Report of Special Committees There was none.

Because of Act 10, WEA has made changes including their bylaws so they are able to offer plans to the state and municipalities. Big Foot’s loss ratio for 2012-13 was $1.23 to $1.00 and carried some large claims which caused the proposed increase of 7.8%. Eugene indicated that over 10 years years the aggregate was less less than 35%. He is proud of their organization, people and history. Eugene also indicated that it has been a pleasure to serve Big Foot and if BF moves to a different carrier, that hopefully some day WEA will be able to be Big Foot’s provider once again. On a Bill Grunow/Kim Arntz motion, the Board accepted WCA to be the health and dental provider for Big Foot High School and EPIC to provide the life, long-term disability and short-term disability for 20132014. Motion carried 5/0. The meeting adjourned at 6:43 p.m. on a McCarthy/Arntz motion. Motion carried 5/0.

The Red Legs won, 12-0. 12-0. EAST TROY — Bouncing back from a 7-0 hole is never easy. But with plenty of offensive ﬁrepower, the Genoa City Junior Legion almost pulled off the impossible Sunday at East Troy. In game two of a doubleheader, Genoa City got to within two r uns after falli ng into an early hole but eventually lost, 11-9. Despite the loss, Genoa City is 13-6 and begins the playoffs Wednesday in Burlington. Genoa City’s Colton Tisch was hot from the plate. He went 4-for-5, drove in one and scored two runs. Ti sch singled in the ﬁrst, second, fourth, and seventh innings. The game was never in doubt after the ﬁrst, as East Troy scored seven runs on an error, a ﬁelder’s choice, a passed ball, three singles, and a wild pitch. Genoa City got three-run rallies in the ﬁrst and fourth innings. In the ﬁrst, G enoa City scored on a ﬁelder’s choice, plating Tisch. After pushing across two runs in the bottom of the second, Genoa City cut the lead to 8-5. An RBI single by Tisch and an error fueled Genoa City’s comeback. East Troy stopped the rally after Nick Bertschinger got Alex Morland to ﬂy out. After three runs in the bottom of the fourth, Genoa City faced just a 11-8 deﬁcit. An RBI single by Tisch, an error and a groundout by Morland sparked Genoa City’s rally. One run in the bottom of the sixth helped Genoa City cut the lead to 11-9. A sacriﬁce ﬂy by Isaac Ziervogel gave Genoa City life, but Nick Bertschinger retired Grayson Grimsley to end the inning. Genoa City battles Waterford in the ﬁrst game of regionals Wednesday at Beaumont Field in Burlington. In the ﬁrst game of the doubleheader, Genoa City needed extra innings but came through with three in the eighth to pull out a 5-2 victory. Tisch’s RBI single proved to be the game-winner in the eighth. Taylor Zick added a sacriﬁce ﬂy in the frame. Joe Ippolito got on base three times for Genoa City. He singled in the seventh and eighth innings.

I started working at the paper in 1964. I took two and a half years off when I had my first child, came back and here I am still. Something about making deadlines and different duties each day make my job enjoyable. Our sports editor, Mike Ramczyk, asked me if I would like to join him for nine holes of golf at the beautiful Hawk’s View Golf Club. He wanted an opponent so he could do a story about the experience and also the golf course. Mike apparently figured if he played against a female senior citizen (still mending from extensive upper spine and neck surgery in March), it would give him a chan ce to win the match and have bragging rights. So we played but he didn’t win. Sorr y Mike, maybe next time. Mike arrived and we went to the first tee.

Now Mike is a big man. Probably 6foot-3ish and twice my weight. I can bare ly clai m to be 5-foot-5 any longer with age a nd th ree spine surger ies t aki ng their toll. But when I said I wa s going to play off the ladies’ tees, the big brute did the same so any advantage on my part was lost. But I will admit playing off the same tees made the game more fun. Neither one of us had touched a golf club since last year. My concern was t hat I wouldn’t b e able to swi ng the club w ithout hurting myself and it would have all been for nothing. But, after a couple of swings it seemed to be working and the fear subsided. It would be only fair to mention that my opponent’s knee started hurting after a couple of holes, so neither of us were physically up for the challenge. We t ied the ﬁrst hole. Mike got me by two strokes on No. 2, but then I rallied and took back-to-back pars, putting me one up and Mike never caught up. I took several penalty strokes which didn’t help my score. I am not one for searching for lost ba lls that have found water or trenches with weeds and long grass clippings hiding the ball. My motto is to take the penalty, drop another ball and keep play moving. After all, this was not league play where it r eally counted for something. Leading up to our game, Mike kept tell- SUE HINSKE/REGIONAL NEWS RAMCZYK tees off on No. 7. ing me what a bad golfer he was. After a couple of holes, I referred to him as a sand bagger. He could hit the bal l a ton a nd had some excellent approach shots from about 150 yards. He didn’t stray too far off the course as I thought he might. The other disadvantage for me was on a couple holes it took me a tee shot and a fairway shot to catch up to his drive. Let me again remind you this big guy was playing off t he ladies’ tees. Going into No. 9, our last hole, I was winning by t wo strokes. He hit a long drive that put him next to another tee box some- where out there. He then procee ded to put his second shot into the trunk of a tree and when I told him he had to take a penalty stroke for taking a drop, he started whining like a school girl on a bad hair day. So I broke down and told him he only had to count the penalty if we tied the match but no worries. I took a six and he took an eight without c ounting t he ex tra stroke. I wi n, I win. We had a little waiting time after lett ing a four-some through, so Mike was teaching me how to use the camera so I could capture a photo of him taking a golf swing. The camera weighed about as much as a bowling ball, had a huge dia l to focus and a shutter button that was a little too sensitive for my liking. I could barely hold the darn thing to my face, let alone focus and click. I want a tripod next time. I thought Mike was listening to cell phone messages a lot or maybe asking his lovely wife what was for dinner, then I found out he was tweeting or twittering or whatever it is people do on cell phones and computers. I am just learning how to sign into Facebook. I ran into another co-worker after the game, and he already knew how the game had gone. What, really? Summing up our round at Hawk’s View, I would say the weather was absolutely perfect. Sunny, low- to mid-80s, low humidity and gentle breezes. Thank you to our sports editor for inviting me to play, and I am ready for another match. If the time comes when Mike can dedicate more time to the game of golf, it is my opinion that he will become a good competitive golfer. He is not nearly as bad a player as he claims to be. Love of the game I golfed for the ﬁrst time in my late twenties and loved it. I walked the full 18 holes and counted every stroke. It took me a lot of golf before being brave enough to join a lea gue. I played at G eorge W illiams Golf Course for a couple of years until getting good enough for other larger courses. I was a member at Hillmoor for many years until the course closed. My goal was to break into the 70s but that never happened. To the best of my recollection, 81 was my lowest all-time score at Hillmoor. However, I do have my fair share of trophies, prizes, memories and was lucky enough to have two holes-in-one at Hillmoor, the 143-yard No. 17 and the 96-yard No. 6. I ran the Thursday Morning 18-Hole Ladies League for a number of years. Also, I ran the Monday Night 9-Hole League until we merged with the Wednesday Night League. I think I ran that for only one season. I also helped run the Couples Friday Night League and also the Junior Golf League, which my youngest daughter was a part of for several year s. I still golf and go on golf outings with gal pals. Golf has been an important part of my life. I made so many fr iends along the way. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C Ramczyk /Things /Things started well but went bad when Ramczyk almost hit people While Hinske took that as weak, I know how bad I am and how much advantage I needed simply to compete. It was my ﬁrst time playing all summer, and Hawk’s View is no cake walk. While most holes are straight and a decent tee shot puts you in good position, the greens are brutal. Talk about undulation. Hit it too strong and you’re in the opposite rough. Tap it too soft and there is no f riendly roll. No. 2 was where I made my ﬁrst splash. On my second shot, I used a 4-wood from 150 yards out and got on the green. I ﬁnished with a ﬁve for bogey and had a brief two-stroke advantage. But on No. 3, a par-3 where you tee off roughly 50 feet above the ground and shoot downhill, Hinske started her comeback. She sunk a 10-foot putt for par. I earned my second straight bogey. “The wheels will come off,” Hinske joked. But her hot streak had just begun. After another par and two double bogeys, Hinske took a three-st roke lead through six holes. She drained a 10-foot CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C Genoa City John Laskowski got the win for the Red Legs.

Zack Ditzenburger was dynamite on the mound for Genoa City, scattering just two hits and allowing no earned runs in four innings while strik ing out ﬁve. Zick allowed one hit in the ﬁnal two innings. Genoa City scored ﬁve runs in the ﬁfth on a tworun error, a passed ball, an RBI single by Riley Gentile and an RBI single by Clint Ugolini. Tisch racked up four RBIs on two hits for Genoa City. He tripled in the fourth and singled in the sixth. Genoa City didn’t relinquish the lead after scoring one run in the ﬁrst inning when it scored on an er ror. The Red Legs also added three-run frames in the fourth and sixth. Siegler was 3-for-4 for the game, and Levi Burnette, Gentile, Morland, Ugolini, Grimsley and Zier vogel each added hits. putt with the ﬂag in the hole on No. 4. Then, after a six on No. 5, Hinske recovered for a bogey on a beautiful par-3 where you had to hit it over a pond off the tee. Hinske admitted she was on some heavy pain-killers, and I demanded she be tested for her performance-enhancing drugs. All jokes aside, Hinske was crushing me and I needed to pick it up. Hinske lost a ball in the water on No. 7 and claimed she “hated the entire hole,” but she still managed an eight to my seven. It was bunker city, as bunkers not only hinder your tee shot but also completely sur round the green. It was the most challenging hole on the front nine. I told Hinske I was closing the gap, but she kept her focus. On No. 8, I was on in three but once again three-putted for a six. Hinske also managed a six, a nd she said the only thing she liked was the scenery. So it all came down to the last hole. I was down two strokes, and I thought the par-5 would work to my advantage. But let’s be honest, I knew I needed a miracle with my inconsistent shots. I cranked the ball about 215 yards on my tee shot, but it was in the wrong direction. I landed on the tee box of the adjacent hole, and as I hesitantly walked over to my ball, I politely asked the two gentlemen who had just teed off if I almost hit them. Luckily, they saw nothing. My second shot had to leap over a line of trees. Unfortunately, my solid line drive cracked a tree and died. I tal ked Hinske into letting me avoid a penalty stroke. The only way we would’ve counted counted the extra shot was if I beat her. The rest of the hole assured us that wouldn’t be an issue. Staring into a bright sun, my third shot was a pop ﬂy that landed on the absolute last strand of grass before a bunker behind the green. I slammed the ball out of there, but it rolled to the opposite rough. My horrendous putting left me with an eight. Hinske, whose best shot i s a long ground ba ll, used two grounders to close the dea l. Her tee shot rolled and rolled, but it was straight. Then, on her approach, she scooted a ground ball a good 50 yards and wound up only 10 feet from the cup. Hinske two-putted for a six and ﬁnished with a 52 to my 56. Sadly, it was one of my best scores. A 54 at Lake Lawn Resort is my best ninehole score of all time. Overall, my tee shots were long and fa irly st raight, and my fair way woods were solid, but putti ng was my downfall. Hinske showed signs of why she has shot in the low 80s on 18 holes. She has a consistent, straight tee shot despite not having much power. Every shot is straight and puts her in position to have a good hole. While her putting isn’t back up to speed yet, she sank several putts from 10 or more feet out. Whether you’re a hack like me or an experienced golfer like Hinske, Hawk’s View has it al l. The scenery is phenomenal, and the course is challenging but fun and manageable at the same time. With a par-3 course for the kids, there is something for all ages at Hawk’s View.

We can’t remember remember where we left our keys, but we know where we were more than 50 years. We remember the exact moment when something happened. We can summon details, remember locations, recall feelings. That was the case with the people who shared the following memories of the riots of July 4th 1967 in Lake Geneva. We ran a story on the event in our July 4th issue and the response has been amazing. Besides the stories this week, there are others to be told which we’ll run in next week’s Regional Regional News. News. One was a newspaper article written by Jennifer Schaefer, Schaefer, the daughter daughter of Trish Schaefer of Lake Geneva. She interviewed some of the notable people involved in the event. Another perspective perspective was presented presented by Curtis A. Woods of Lyons. He takes a view that’s different than those expressed by most people.

This page was in “Geneva Lake Reﬂections,” a publication produced by the publishers of At the Lake. ‘We all feared what might mi ght Everyone held their breath happen next’ when when th the e next next July July 4 near neared ed To the Editor: I graduated from Badger High School in June of 1961. The summers of 1961 and 1962 I worked at Carol Martin’s restaurant, which is now “Speedos” (Harborside Cafe), my ﬁrst job as a waitress. While working there, the ﬁrst riot happened in Lake Geneva. It was very scary to a young graduate and I was unable to go home after work, because of the massive crowds. They were ver y out of contr ol and intimi dating people. They were outside the restaurant, standing next to the window, and we all feared for what might happen next. My parents eventually showed up at the restaurant with the minister from the Episcopal Church, and with his help, escorted me to the other end of town where my home was. It was t he ﬁr st ti me our beautiful city was overrun with such a mob. I remember the National Guard in later years closing the roads into Lake Geneva and that caused more stress as to what wa s going to happen i n our community. The destruction of the Andy Gump statue was deeply sorrowful for me, as he had stood in Flat Iron Park my entire life as I grew up in Lake Geneva. This destr uction of our city and the surrounding cities of Geneva Lake was appalling at the time it happened. Thank you for your article of these riots on July 4 that was was in the paper. It was ver y interest ing and th ere were m any things mentioned that I did not know about until I read it. Carolyn A. Warﬁeld Walworth Township To the Editor: bars actually raised the age limit a couple couple more degrees to hopefully keep those with false IDs from getting in. With each subsequent year, the crowds grew even more, and I stayed away. And, as you reported, in 1966 they started doing property damage. Over the Fourth of 1967 my parents and I were in LaCrosse attending my roommate’s wedding and heard nothing about the riots until we came back to Lake Geneva the following day. I remember hearing about Andy Gump being torn down and al l the damage the rioters had caused. We all felt violated for what they had had done done to our our town. town. I was so so glad we weren’ weren’t home home and grateful the mob never made it into the neighborhoods to do damage there too. It was very strange the next yea r when the Fourth rolled around. We all held our collective breaths and, like you wrote, nothing happened. And, thank the Lord, nothing like that ever happened again. In all the years we were invaded every Fourth of July, I never saw it as related to protesting the war or anything like that. Just a bunch of kids gone wild. Perhaps I was a bit naive about that part of the deal. I have a feeling that most of them today probably do look back on that time and have regrets. At least I hope so! Pamela Pamela S. Meyers Meyers I just got the Lake Geneva paper a nd read your recounting recounting of the riots riots that took place in 1967. Boy, that brought up some old memories. Actually on July 4th Lake Geneva became the go-to place for college-aged kids as early as 1961. I was between my junior and senior years at Badger Badger that summer summer and and working working as a telephone operator at the telephone company on Main Street. My parents picked me up from work on the night of July 3rd and told me I was coming home and not going out again. I couldn’t understand why I had to dump my plans with my friends. They told me a bunch of college kids had decided to come to Lake Geneva for the holiday and had taken over lower Broad Street. As we drove through the Main Main and Broad intersection, I saw road-closed barricades lined up across Broad Street and a line of cops standing there. Nothing much was going on — just a bunch of kids milling about. My mom said something about it being terrible the way they took over the town. I guess I got her blood pressure up when I said, “It looks like they’re having fun.” I think I said it just to say it more than anything. I did get a rise out of her. Every Fourth of July after that, the crowds grew, but there were no riots. The While Meyers Meyers now lives in Arlington ﬁrst summer after I’d been away at college Heights, Ill., she makes frequent trips back for a year, I did head downtown and join the crowd because so many kids I knew from “home,” which is Lake Geneva. school were there. All we did was walk up one Editor’s Editor’s note note:: Meyers Meyers is author author of “Love side of Broad Street and down the other side Geneva,” which is availsince none of my friends were old enough to Finds You in Lake Geneva,” get into a bar.

LETTER To the Editor: James Kaye Lake Geneva To the Editor: I was working at the Lake Geneva Regional News at 315 Broad St. where I am still employed. I drove from Pell Lake to the Dairy Queen on Wells Street where I parked my car and walked the rest of the way to the Regional News. I don’t remember what day it was or if I did it more than one day but it was leading up to the 4th of July. At noon I bega n walk ing to the post office and Olympic Restaurant on Main Street to get a sandwich.

I ca ught som eth ing out of the corner of my eye. Turned to look into the alley and it was full of National Guard. It took me by surprise and I think I jumped out of fear or just the surprise of it. After all they were there for our protection and they had their weapons for all to see. Rumor had it, that signs were every where in some of the popula r spri ng brea k v acat ion spots in Flori da. Ft. Lauderdale Beach was one of those places. Supposedly, signs were along roads from Florida to Wisconsin telling people to be in Lake Geneva for the 4th of July holiday. When I wante d to trave l from Pell Lake to Lake Como to visit my parents in the evenings, I had to take routes that avoided Lake Geneva because of closed streets entering the city.

The last time I wrote about the county’s “Journal of Proceedings” book I remarked that I looked for ward to its annual release as if it were the latest Dan Brown thriller. A few weeks later, during a question and answer session following a presentation I made, an audience member told me that if I really felt that way I should “get a life.” That person was probably right, but the book contains so much information that I can’t help but ﬁnd it interesting. The Journal is an indexed compilation of a year’s worth of Walworth County Board meetings. It fulﬁlls two separate statutory directives that require the county clerk to “record at length, in a book” every resolution adopted, order passed and ordinance enacted and “to keep and record in a book” true minutes of all of the proceedings of the board. Rather than capturing a calendar year, the Journal follows a county board year, which star ts i n Apr il at its or ganiz ational meeting. This year’s 2012 Journal, therefore, also includes the ﬁrst three months of 2013. Our clerk, Kim Bushey, compiled the latest book in record time, releasing it shortly after the Board completed its March meeting. The Journal is interesting to me at two levels. First, it provides a historical record of County Board activities. Clerks have been keeping these books for a long time.

Supervisors processed 55 and 53 ordinances in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Aside from generatin g some interesting trivia, there is a point to all of this number-crunching; ordinances and communications present opportunities for elected leaders to make decisions. When the board’s workload, as reﬂected by these two measures, was relatively low, it didn’t mean that decisions weren’t b eing made; it simply meant that decisions were being made by others, most often by staff. There is nothing wrong with allowing managers to manage their operations. Not all oversight by elected leaders, however, is “micromanagement.” Supervisors serve an important function when they establish policy and bring forward new ideas and constituent concerns. As measur ed b y ord inance s and communications, the county board expanded its role, a decade ago, and continues to sustain this increased level of oversight. We will have to wa it for the 2013 Journal of Proceedings to see whether this trend continues. At t he r isk of being t old to “get a life,” I will admit that I can hardly wait until it is released. The opinions expressed in this column are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Walworth County Board of Supervisors.

I arrived at the second address and this time I was in luck. The second woman answered and yelled into the apartment to t he ex-husband, telling him he had a v isitor. isitor. When he came to the door I told him who I was. I told him his children were having a hard time since he stopped paying his child support. The second woman was listening listening in disbelief disbelief.. Before he could even react I informed him I knew where he was now working. I reminded him of his legal and moral obligation to pay child support and informed him I was aware of his psychological threats and physical attacks made against his wife. I showed him some photos, several in fact of myself and The Time Is Now to Help supporters. I told him he had to catch up on his child support, his wife was ﬁling a complaint complaint with authoritie authoritiess and I was going to stand by his children. By then the ﬁrst woman I visited pulled up with another person driving her. I could see the torment on the ex’s face. I asked him if he was going to live up to his commitment to his children. He sheepishly said, “Yes, I will.” I reminded him that I would would be following following up and making sure he fulﬁlled his commitment. With that I left him to the mess he had created for himself with his selﬁsh lifestyle and abandonment of his children. The next day I met with the mother. She said her exhusband had stopped by and given her a check for the three months of child support in arrears. She said, “My ex-husband said he had met you. What happened?” I told her, “I informed him of his neglect of the children and the authorities are going to be informed of his threats to you.” She looked relieved and actually smiled when she said, “Thank you.” you.” With relief relief of poverty poverty the mother and children will continue to have a place to call home.

None of this negates the possibility that Zimmerman’s suspicions toward Martin, were partly race based — consciously or not. Racism is hardly dead; Internet discussions of this indisputably tragic story have been plagued by vile racist comments directed at the dead teenager. But the rush to declare Zimmerman guilty of both murder and racism, regardless of facts, is also a form of racism — and injustice. Reasonable doubt won the day By Beth Kassab Orlando Sentinel Like it or not, the jury got this one right. Nobody wants to see two parents who alrea dy lost their teenage son also lose out on what they saw as justice. As painful as it may be, though, acquitt ing George Zimmerman was the only verdict the jury could logically reach. The state simply didn’t prove second-degree murder. Or manslaughter. As much as I don’t like many of the choices Zimmerman made the night he killed Trayvon Martin, the evidence presented at trial gave way to more than one reasonable doubt about Zimmerman’s guilt. Florida likes dogs better than blacks By Craig Pittman Slate Florida juries have proven to be very lenient even in cases that don’t involve “Stand Your Ground.” Two years ago, as you probably heard, a Florida jury found Casey Anthony not guilt y of murdering her daughter. Two months ago, a Florida jury acquitt ed 70-year old Ralph Wald of murder for gunning down his 41 year- old wife’s 32-yea r-old lover, whom Wald caught with his pants around his knees. In 2007, despite seeing a videotape of seven guards kicking and beati ng a 14-year- old boy named Martin Lee Anderson to death at a juvenile boot camp, an all-white jury acquit ted them and a nurse who’d failed to stop the killing of manslaughter charges. The guards and nurse said they were just fol lowing no rmal boot camp rules and procedures. Aft erwar d, the famil y’s attorney told reporters, “You kill a dog, you go to jail — you kil l a lit tle black boy and not hing happe ns.” Shooting based on Shooting proﬁling returning from a snack run at a convenience store, heading for the house of his father’s girlfriend. And the fact remains that had Zimmerman stayed in his truck, as advised by the police, Martin would be alive today. By USA Today Zimmerman’s successful defense depended on getting jurors to focus on the ﬁght that occurred just before he shot the 17-yea rold, unarmed Martin, and not on the events that preceded it. The lawyers established doubt about which man screamed for help, as well a s oth er det ails of the confrontation — holes that invited an acquittal under Florida’s laws. But the fact remains that Zimmerman, a neigh borhood watch volunteer and cop wanna-be, instantly identiﬁed Martin as a “(expletive) punk” who “looks like he’s up to no good.” The fact remains that Martin was doing nothing wrong; he was Hack receives scholarships Upper Iowa University named Jeffrey Klean, Elkhorn, to its 2013 spring dean’s list.

Old favorites will always be around and here are a few others to try — they may become old favorites. Chocolate Drop Cookies come from a cookbook published by a church in 1950 and are just as delicious now as they were then. Three ounces of baking chocolate, or three squares, with sour milk assure richness and ﬂavor. They go together quickly and can have nuts added to them, if desired.

When cooled, each cookie has the top or one edge dipped into a chocolate mixture, then into chopped nuts. The recipe makes six dozen. Gum Drop Cookies actually include cut up gum drops. Brown sugar, eggs, ﬂour and salt are the remaining ingredients. The cookies bake in a pan and are cut when ﬁnished, then each one is rolled in powdered sugar. The convenience of this recipe makes Butterscotch Ice Box Cookies popular. The dough can be double wrapped and frozen or stored in the refrigerator until needed and baked a little at a time, if desir ed.
