MADDIE IS ONE of the horses that pull vistors around the
town in a carriage. One alderman wants to review how car-
riages operate on the streets of Lake Geneva before approv-
ing a new carriage license for this year.

Lake Geneva is looking longingly at something called
the premier resort area tax, a sales tax permitted to tourist
communities that either meet state guidelines or get spe-
cial permission from the state Legislature.
Its partly a matter of esteem and partly a matter of rev-
enues.
Although near the epicenter of the tourism business
that has Walworth County ranking sixth in the state in
generating tourism dollars, Lake Geneva doesnt qualify
for the tax under state law, and its local state lawmakers
seem reluctant to recommend the city to the state Legisla-
ture for consideration.
The tax is probably unknown to most state residents.
Thats because only six communities in Wisconsin are
allowed to collect the tax and only four of them do.
Mayor Jim Connors wrote a letter to Gov. Scott Walker
asking for his assistance in getting Lake Geneva on the pre-
mier resort tax list.
The premier resort sales tax is now either a half per-
cent, as it is in the cities of Bayeld and Eagle River, or
1 percent as in the village of Lake Delton and the city of
Wisconsin Dells.
Lake Delton and the Dells were allowed to increase
their resort sales taxes by special dispensation of the state
Legislature. A proposed amendment now being considered
would allow those two communities to bump the tax up to
1.25 percent, provided voters approve the increase.
The villages of Ephraim and Sister Bay may adopt the
tax, but have opted not to.
Created in the late 1990s to help tourist venues pay for
infrastructure and to maintain an appearance attractive to
tourist dollars, the sales tax applies to certain retail busi-
nesses that the state Department of Revenue has deter-
mined benet and benet from tourism.
City Administrator Dennis Jordan said the half-per-
cent sales tax could generate an additional $500,000 to
$600,000 for the city, while 1 percent might bring in $1
million or more. However, with only six communities cur-
rently qualifying for the premier resort tax, one might
assume its tough to get on the list. That assumption would
not be incorrect.
Lake Geneva wants premier resort tax

The horse-drawn carriages that transport passengers
around Lake Geneva on romantic excursions may be good
for tourism, picturesque and even good for the environ-
ment, in a low-carbon-footprint kind of way.
But they can wreck havoc with some drivers patience.
Alderman Sturg Taggart said he was once stuck behind
one of those carriages, which mosey along at about 3 mph.
For 18 years, carriage owners have offered the slow-
moving rides to tourists in Lake Geneva. Field Stone
Farms LLC, Burlington, now holds the license to provide
that service.
City Clerk Mike Hawes said Field Stone Farms pays
$3,650 a year for the license and to lease curb space on
Wrigley Drive in front of the Riviera, where the horses
rest, and carriages are hired for rides.
That license was up for renewal at Mondays Lake
Geneva City Council meeting.
In the end, the license request was continued. The car-
riage license expires June 30, and the council meets one
more time before then.
Taggart said he was stuck in a conga line of 12 cars fol-
lowing the slow meanderings of one carriage.
Its a pain in the groin, said Taggart, who added he
had nothing against horses.
Weve spent a lot of money improving the trafc ow
on Main Street, and it works, Taggart said. Unless you
come to a big white horse.

Former Big Brother volunteer,
who was accused of assault, dies
By John Halverson
jhalverson@lakegenevanews.net
ELKHORN It was to be a motion hearing Tuesday
for a former Big Brothers Big Sisters volunteer accused of
sexually assaulting two boys.
Instead it was an announcement that the accused man
had died.
Rodney J. Meiller, 52, of rural Elkhorn, who allegedly
assaulted the two boys, did not live long enough to stand
trial.
The Walworth Countys Coroners ofce told the
Regional News that Meiller had died of a self-inicted gun-
shot wound in a Whitewater park on June 5.
Within moments of Judge James Carlson making his
entrance into the courtroom Tuesday, the legal procedures
ended.
It was almost exactly a year after they had started.
Because of the defendants death, the charges against
Meiller were dropped by the court.
Walworth County Deputy District Attorney Joshua
Grube declined to comment further on
the case or the defendants death.
Meiller was accused of molesting a
boy, who was 11 at the time, in Meillers
home and in a shower at the Geneva
Lake Area YMCA.
Another boy, who was 14 when he
rst talked to law enforcement ofcials,
claimed Meiller had assaulted him at
Meillers home.
Meiller had been charged with
three counts of repeated sexual assault.
Two of the charges relate to the 11-year-
old boy, the other to the 14-year-old. Each count had a
maximum penalty of 60 years imprisonment, which can
include up to 40 years of initial connement and 20 years
of extended supervision.
Meiller was dismissed from the Big Brothers Big Sis-
ters organization prior to his arrest becoming public.
Meillers arrest was highly-publicized on Milwaukee
televison and in local print media.

Lake Geneva pretties up for warm weather
Chris Schultz
Cschultz@lakegenevanews.net
Lake Geneva has put on her pretty
summer face.
Yes, the chamber of commerce has
worked hard to burnish the citys year-
around image, with Oktoberfest and Win-
terfest to pull in post-summer visitors.
But for as long as anyone can remem-
ber Lake Geneva is the place, summer has
been the time.
Her hotels ll with guests, her streets ll
with trafc, businesses ll with shoppers
and now her sidewalks ll with diners.
The city of 7,800 usually swells to
between 20,000 and 40,000 during the
warm weather holidays and weekends.
But before the rst summer visitor sets
foot on Broad Street, Lake Geneva needed
to spruce up.
Her 22 parks and green spaces were
mowed and trimmed, the beach sand was
groomed and her public places were spiffed
up.
First and foremost, the street sweepers
are out grooming the curbs, said Dan Win-
kler, director of public works.
For public safety, reserve police ofcers
were trained to handle everything from
loud music to troubled pedestrians. Ten new
reserve ofcers were sworn in this year.
For public enjoyment, streets, beaches
and parks are cleaned and readied for visi-
tors.
In early April, trash receptacles were
set out.
The public rest rooms at the library, the
chamber ofce, Flat Iron Park and Veterans
Park were repaired, cleaned and opened.
Beach sand doesnt just happen. It has
to be groomed.
The citys sand groomer, pulled by a
tractor, bites down into the winter-packed
sand and sifts out old cigarette butts, broken
glass and debris that might make the beach
unsightly and unsafe.
Things werent easy this year, Winkler
said.
A very wet spring and ooding in Donian
Park slowed preparation work.
A very cold Memorial Day weekend
seemed to put off the start of the summer
season, especially since memories of last
years gorgeous Memorial Day weekend are
still fresh.
This summer saw some new additions.
Three new kiosks were installed near
the entrance to the beach. Those kiosks will
sell only beach passes.
At least one part-time employee will be
available to help tourists and residents use
the electronic pass dispensers.
As a Tree City USA, Lake Geneva doesnt
rest on her laurels. New trees were planted
as old and dying trees were culled.
Flowers are in their beds at the Riviera
and city hall. The lower level of the Riviera
is ready for dockside business.
Earlier this spring, potholes were
patched. Leaves and brush were picked up
in the neighborhoods.
Picnic tables were placed.
Drinking fountains were turned on.
Piers are installed. Sand was vacuumed
out of storm drains.
Lake Geneva is up and summer-ready,
waiting for the weather to cooperate.
CALL IT PUPPY LOVE. A girl walks her puppy, or maybe a puppy is walking her girl, in a
Lake Geneva park. This is one of many sure signs of warmer weather.
YOU DONT EVEN need to be on the sand to enjoy the beach.

Linn supervisor moves out of town, is required to resign
Allis doesnt live here anymore
By Steve Targo
steve@lakegenevanews.net
LINN The north shores only representative on the
town board has resigned.
On Monday, the board accepted the resignation of
Jeanne Allis, who now lives in Fontana. The board also
approved a motion to advertise the open position.
Allis sent an email to the board members and other
town ofcials May 17.
It is with great sadness I am announcing my request
to resign from the town of Linn board as I unfortunately
will no longer be a Linn resident and meet residency
requirements to be on the board, Allis said. My family
and I, however, are not moving far, as we will be residents
of Fontana.
Allis was rst elected town supervisor in 2008, suc-
cessfully challenging Christine Jones. She was re-elected
in an uncontested race in 2010, then won her bid for re-
election in 2012 against Allan Polyock.
Previously, she had been vocal about the north shores
desire to improve response times from emergency person-
nel.
Geneva Lake separates the north shore region from the
south shore, which is where emergency personnel are sta-
tioned.
In September 2012, Allis said there was confusion over
whether the north shore region was covered.
This was the issue that prompted me to run, she
said.
In her May 17 email, Allis mentioned the issue again,
as well as others.
I will continue to keep an interest in the things that we
supported together over the years, (such as) better cover-
age of services for all of Linn residents while supporting
more open space to keep (the town) the friendly and green
community that has made us a unique and close-knit com-
munity.
Allis thanked her fellow board members and said it
was her pleasure to work with them.
You represent town of Linns strongest asset, she said.
You are an extraordinary group of people and my life has
been enriched by knowing you.
On Tuesday, Linn Town Chairman Jim Weiss discussed
a few things he will miss about working with Allis.
She had a very strong focus, a dedication to the board,
as well as a great sense of humor, he said.
Weiss said Allis had strong ties to the north shore
region. She was dedicated to the town of Linn Nature Park
at the corner of Maple Ridge Road and South Lake Shore
Drive, he said. Weiss also credited Allis for being instru-
mental in securing grants to improve the park.
Allis was chairperson of the Harbor Commission and
Public Parks Committee in Linn. She also was co-chair of
the towns Plan Commission.
Whats next?
Weiss said the advertisement will be published next
week.
A few have expressed interest already, but we have a
standard form that people have to complete, he said.
Those who are interested can obtain the form from the
town clerk-treasurers ofce.
Weiss said the board will need to review forms and
conduct applications.
Considering regular meeting schedules and the Fourth
of July holiday, he said, a replacement may be appointed as
early as August.
You are an extraordinary group
of people and my life has been
enriched by knowing you.

Group offers reward for information leading to an arrest
Turtle in critical
condition after beating
GENEVA Still unimaginable the extent of cruelty.
Thats what Fellow Mortals Wildlife Hospital posted
on Facebook Tuesday morning in an update on a snapping
turtle that was injured at Delbrook Golf Course, Delavan.
It is believed the turtle was beaten with a golf club
between 7:30 and 9:30 a.m. Monday, according to Jordan
W. Turner, of the Global Conservation Groups cruelty
investigation department.
There were reported to be about 35 players on the golf
course during the time of the beating, Turner said in an
email.
The group is offering a $1,000 reward for information
leading to an arrest and conviction of those responsible for
the crime.
Several people have commented on Fellow Mortals
Facebook page about the incident.
The turtle received a fractured skull and several holes
in its carapace.
It was transferred from Fellow Mortals to Pine View
Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, Fredonia. As of 7 a.m. Tues-
day, the turtle was in critical condition.
Fellow Mortals posted pictures on Facebook of the
injured turtle, with a warning for the graphic nature of the
photos.
Fellow Mortals stated that Juan Gomez, a Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources conservation warden,
rescued the turtle. According to Fellow Mortals, Gomez
responded to a call about an injured turtle on the golf
course.
Snapping turtles are the largest (turtles) in the United
States, Fellow Mortals stated. They are an endangered
species in Canada.

GENOA CITY Trafc calls and the occasional possum sighting.
Those are the kind of police situations Jason Schielke said he has
encountered while riding along with police ofcers in Genoa City.
The 22-year-old University of Wisconsin-Platteville student is the vil-
lage police departments rst intern.
He said he hopes to graduate in August with a degree in criminal jus-
tice, then nd a job as a police ofcer in Southeastern Wisconsin.
Im already enjoying being an intern here, he said. There are nice
people, its a great community. Driving around, people see you, they wave
to you.
For Schielke, becoming a police ofcer may be a natural t.
Growing up, with my friends, I was always the one who watched out
for them, he said. I guess I was the safe one of the group.
To obtain that degree and follow his cop dreams, Schielke has to com-
plete the eight-week internship program with the department.
Genoa City Police Chief Joe Balog said the program is part of his plan
to improve the department.
He said he worked at two law enforcement agencies where criminal
justice and social work students interned.
Being an intern in a police department offers students the chance to
gain real world experience, Balog said, as well as observe investigations,
learn about report writing and other investigative and tactical skills.
Schielke said about 50 percent of his 40-hour-a-week internship so far
has been ride-alongs with Balog and the other ofcers.
He said none of the calls he went on stood out as being strange or dan-
gerous.
Mostly, he would be inside the squad, running a motorists license plate
number on the laptop.
There have been a couple times when I have gotten out of the squad
and listened to what the person would say (to the police ofcer), just so I
can see how they would deal with the person they have stopped, Schielke
said.
And?
They all seemed pretty calm, Schielke said.
Then theres the other aspects of the job people may not readily associ-
ate with being a cop.
Balog said Schielke will help reorganize department manuals, conduct
inventory of department equipment so we can see exactly what is still
needed or usable and what they can trade or sell.
Which sounds like a far cry from the standoffs, high-speed chases and
other situations the term ride-along may conjure up.
But when asked why he wants to be a police ofcer, Schielke didnt
come off as a thrill seeker.
I like helping people, he said. Like, maybe its helping someone nd
their dog. If I lost my dog, Id want someone to help me. You wont always
get a thank-you for it, but at least youre there.
To Schielke, being a cop means interacting with the public, not just
writing tickets or driving around.
Its a small town, so a lot of the ofcers will see people out, theyll
wave, say hi, maybe have a short conversation with them, ask them how
their day is going, Schielke said.
Schielke said in Platteville, there is an emphasis on community polic-
ing, which means ofcers are out in public more, interacting with people
in the community, doing things not perceived as police actions, like going
down to the local school and playing basketball with the kids.
He started his Genoa City internship May 20.
Its an eight-week program, one which Schielke is doing while working
part-time at the Browns Lake Water Patrol.
In fact, his employment there may have helped open the door for him
in Genoa City.
One of his co-workers is Jeff Sperandeo, a Genoa City police ofcer.
He said they talked about him needing an internship after he wasnt
able to obtain one in Burlington Schielkes hometown.
Schielke said Sperandeo told him hed talk to Balog, and he thanked
Balog for allowing him the internship opportunity.
It seems like Balog is pleased with the program so far.
Eventually, we will forward requests to several educational institu-
tions and assist the staff with placing interns with our department, he
said.
As for Schielke, Balog offered more than just his opinion of the new
intern.
I see an eager young man ready to start his career, Balog said. Look-
ing back on my education, I wish I would have had the opportunity to par-
ticipate in an internship when I was in college. I think it gives a valuable
insight into the career you are pursuing.

GENOA CITY NEWS
About Schielke
Born and raised in Burlington, Jason
Schielke, 22, said he expects to graduate
with a degree in criminal justice in August
from UW-Platteville.
He became Genoa City Police
Departments first intern May 20. Its an
eight-week program, and he works 40
hours a week Monday through Friday.
Schielke also works part-time as a
marine assistant for the Browns Lake
Water Patrol.
Despite living his whole life about 30
minutes away from Genoa City, he said
this is the first time hes ever been to the
village.
I had a friend in high school who was
from Genoa City, but I hadnt really been
here before, Schielke said.
So far, he said his favorite bit of advice
about being a police officer was some-
what unexpected.
Schielke said he was on a ride-along
with a Genoa City police officer during
the Click It or Ticket mobilization an
effort in which officers focus on finding
seat belt violations intended to promote
safety restraint use.
He said the officer enjoyed participat-
ing in the mobilization because he was
making people safe.
But the key factor there, Schielke said,
was enjoyment.
(The officer) told me to enjoy what I
do, Schielke said. I wasnt expecting to
hear that because you just kind of assume
it, that when youre doing a job, youre
enjoying it, but its kind of different hear-
ing that kind of advice.
What Schielkes most excited about
during his internship could be the busiest
time of year for the department.
Im looking forward to Country
Thunder, he said. I havent really worked
at a concert like that. It will be a different
experience.
Schielke said what hes enjoying most
so far is not just seeing what he has
learned in the classroom put into prac-
tice.
Everythings just new, he said. Its
exciting.
LAKE GENEVA NEWS
By Chris Schultz
Ted Peters, director of the Geneva Lake
Environmental Agency, wants to put two
small holes in Donian Park to better track
how groundwater may be contributing to
the ow in the White River.
And the Lake Geneva Board of Park
Commissioners said its OK with them.
Donian Park is just south of Main
Street, between Center Street and South
Lake Shore Drive. The White River ows
through it.
Peters told the park board on May 5 that
he plans to install two monitoring wells in
Donian, one on either side of the White
River.
Peters said he came to the park board
for permission, and would go to the Lake
Geneva City Council for approval as well, if
he had to.
Theres no way Im putting holes in the
ground without telling people, he told the
park board.
The GLEA is a multi-
governmental agency
supported by the com-
munities on the lake,
and is charged with
monitoring Geneva Lake
and the White River, its
only outlet.
The project is to
better understand
groundwater and sur-
face water relationships
in the Donian wetlands
and the relationship between White River
levels and groundwater, Peters said.
The project is being run by both the
GLEA and George Williams College of
Aurora University, Williams Bay.
George Williams students would moni-
tor and maintain the wells. Richard Boniak,
assistant professor of general and environ-
mental science will be the projects lead
person at the college, Peters said.
According to Peters, past studies have
shown that in some areas of Geneva Lake
water is moving from the lake into the
groundwater and that some of that ground-
water is then resurfacing into the White
River.
We believe groundwater is contributing
to the White Rivers ow, Peters said. He
said previous measurements have shown
more water downstream than appears to be
owing into the river from the lake.
The water migration from lake to
groundwater appears to be seasonal, but
beyond that little is known.
Location will depend on soils. Peters
said he hopes to hand auger the wells.
The well locations will also be as unob-
trusive as possible.
Because the groundwater levels are
high at Donian, the wells will probably be
no more than 5 feet deep, Peters said. And
they may even be 4 feet or less.
The holes will be about 4 inches across.
The wells will have steel casings secured
to concrete footings and will be locked to
prevent tampering.
He said the wells are also waterproofed
to protect them from ooding, although
Peters said he believes that one of the rea-
sons the ooding that occurred in Donian
this past spring was the result of the parks
water table temporarily rising.
Each well will cost about $250 to install
and should, with reasonable maintenance,
last about 25 years, Peters said.
He said the GLEA will pay for the
wells.
The park board gave its permission for
Peters to proceed, with the condition that
Peters coordinate the well installation with
Public Works Director Dan Winkler.
Peters said similar wells were installed
in Kishwauketoe Nature Preserve, Williams
Bay, to monitor groundwater ow there.
Those were installed at the request of
the nature preserves board of directors, he
said.
The GLEA is also planning on approach-
ing Fontana for permission to install moni-
toring wells at the Fontana Fen, to moni-
tor groundwater ows there as well, Peters
said.

In his letter to Walker, Connors
admits he and city council members
nd it frustrating that a city as tour-
isty as Lake Geneva doesnt qualify
for the premier resort tax outright.
By state law, 40 percent of a com-
munitys assessed valuation must be
in tourism-related retail businesses
for that community to immediately
qualify for the tax.
Only two communities have ever
qualied under state law. Lake Delton
and Wisconsin Dells, which both qual-
ied in 1998.
According to Connors, the closest
Lake Geneva came to qualifying was
in 2006, when a review of the citys
businesses found 34.6 percent of its
assessed valuation was involved in
tourism retail.
Increases in assessments, primar-
ily in residential, over the next two
years, dropped that percentage to 26
percent.
However, there is another way to
get on the premier resort tax list. A
local state representative or state sen-
ator may sponsor special legislation to
make that happen.
That process is how Bayeld, Eagle
River, Ephraim and Sister Bay also got
on the premier resort tax list.
However, according to the state
DOR website, before a community can
collect the tax, the communitys elec-
tors must approve the tax by referen-
dum.
Bayeld enacted the premier resort
tax in January 2003, and Eagle River
enacted its tax in October 2006.
If Lake Geneva were to be on the
list, it would have to put the issue up
to the voters in a special referendum.
By law, the voters have the nal say
on whether the tax will be enacted,
Jordan said.
However, State Rep. Tyler August
(R-Lake Geneva) and State Sen. Neal
Kedzie (R-LaGrange) are reluctant to
do so.
The city of Lake Geneva has con-
tacted our senate and house repre-
sentatives to sponsor such legislation
for our city, but they have declined
because they believe it is a tax, and
they do not want to be responsible for
raising a tax, Connors wrote in his
letter to the governor.
The mayor and I sat down with
Kedzie for 40 minutes last week,
Jordan said in a June 7 phone inter-
view. I havent heard anything, yet.
Because the tax can only be
enacted by the voters, Connors wrote,
he didnt see how approval of the new
sales tax would reect negatively on
the local legislators.
The tight economy and levy cap
placed on municipalities makes it dif-
cult for the city to make itself special
in comparison with other tourist des-
tinations.
Tax/LG Mayor wrote to Governor Walker

The city cant control the speed of the horse, said
Alderman Al Kupsik, who is president of the council,
and was presiding in the absence of Mayor Jim Connors,
who is on vacation.
Taggart said the city should
impress on the carriage drivers that
they need to keep their vehicles as far
to the right as possible to allow traffic
to get around them.
The discussion over carriages
started as council members began
pulling things from the councils con-
sent agenda for further discussion.
The consent agenda allows the council
to vote on multiple items with just one
reading, providing the council mem-
bers consent to their approval.
Field Stone Farms license renewal
was on the consent agenda.
Perhaps if Field Stones horses moved at steeple chase
speeds, its license would have been approved without
comment.
Taggart, however, believed that the speed of the car-
riages was enough of an issue that it needed discussion.
And council members agreed that the carriages can
go really slow.
When given sufficient room, cars can pass the car-
riage to the left.
However, apparently not all drivers know they can
legally pass the carriages when conditions permit. They
doggedly follow along, causing other cars to pile up
behind.
I would agree with Mr. Taggart, said Alderwoman
Sarah Hill. Some drivers dont realize they can pass.
She suggested that the carriages have a sign on the
back that reads: Pass with caution, or pardon my
meandering.
Alderman William Mott said that despite the incon-
venience, the carriages lend an ambiance to the city that
makes it attractive to visitors. I think its a positive for
the city, he said.
Alderman Dennis Lyon said he wanted the city to
talk with the carriage owner first and try to work out a
solution.
Dont attempt to legislate a solution, Lyon said. If
we legislate, then we have an enforcement issue.
City Administrator Dennis Jordan said the horse-
and-carriage issue has been one thats been around even
before he became city administrator.
On a busy summer afternoon, traffic is packed
between parked cars on either side of the road and its
almost impossible for cars to get around the carriages,
Jordan said.

Sharon woman doesnt accept plea deal
By Robert Ireland
RIreland@lakegenevanews.net
ELKHORN A former Sharon woman
was set to accept a plea agreement in a
sexual assault case, but changed her mind
after learning of new evidence that she
believes might help her case.
Rachael McCormick, 38, has been
charged with two counts of sexual assault
of a child. She is accused of having sex with
two 15-year-old boys.
McCormicks attorney, Joshua Klaff,
said the state provided additional discov-
ery evidence last Friday that caused him
and his client to reconsider the plea agree-
ment.
It is certainly potentially exculpatory,
Klaff said. We cant abide by the settle-
ment and would like a jury trial.
Deputy District
Attorney Joshua Grube
said the discovery evi-
dence was a paragraph
written by the Victim
Witness Coordinator
that outlined a meet-
ing Grube had with one
of the alleged victims.
Grube met with the
child a few days before
the jury trial, which was
set for Monday.
I do not believe it is exculpatory,
Grube said. I dont see it as signicant.
Grube said he turned the paragraph
over to Klaff in an abundance of caution.
Im not even certain that this is some-
thing I needed to turn over, Grube said.
Judge Phillip Koss was obviously
unhappy with the case being further
delayed and court dates being tied up for a
jury trial that never occurred.
The plea agreement would have
required McCormick to plead guilty to a
felony charge of sexual assault, but the
state wouldnt recommend she be sent to
prison.
We are not going to be doing pleas the
day of trial anymore, Koss said.
Now the jury trial in the case is set for
Sept. 3 and 4. A nal pre-trial is scheduled
for Aug. 29, and Koss said he wont take
a plea agreement after that date. By July
26, both attorneys are required to le any
motions in the case.
According to the criminal complaint:
On Oct. 1, police spoke with a 15-year-
old boy, who is identied in the criminal
complaint as Victim 1. Victim 1 told police
that he went to McCormicks residence on
Sept. 29, where she gave him raspberry
vodka.
The boy told police that he got drunk
and had sex with McCormick.
On Oct. 9, police and Child Advo-
cacy Coordinator Paula Hocking met
with McCormick. McCormick admitted
to giving alcohol to Victim 1, but said she
was very intoxicated and didnt remember
having sex with him.
However, she said she remembered
having sex with another 15-year-old boy,
who is identied as Victim 2 in the crimi-
nal complaint. On Oct. 11, Victim 2 told
police that he had sex with McCormick on
Sept. 29.
Victim 2 also told police that Victim 1
asked McCormick if he could have sex with
her, and she agreed.

WILLIAMS BAY In the middle of a
project to determine whether the commu-
nity will support a new elementary school,
Williams Bay School Board members are
now caught up in a search for a new super-
intendent and junior/senior high school
principal.
Still, Dianna Woss, school board presi-
dent, said she expects the board members
to follow through with a lot of hard work.
She said the search for two new admin-
istrators will not interfere with the boards
work on the elementary school.
The board plans to hire an interim
superintendent rst and then settle
on a junior/senior high school prin-
cipal, Woss said.
Board members Lynne Land-
graf and Cheryl Beinetti led the
search process for an interim
superintendent.
Board members Jim Pfeil and
Rebecca Boggs coordinated the
search for a new principal.
Appeals were sent out to dis-
trict residents for persons willing
to serve on the selection commit-
tees for the new administrators.
Woss said the district already has about
90 applicants for the principals position.
She said that she did not have a count for
the superintendents position.
The district is accepting applica-
tions only until Friday.
The board will review the
applications and select nalists.
She said the current sched-
ule calls for interviews of interim
superintendent candidates to
begin by June 27. The board
should have the new interim
superintendent on board by the
school districts annual meeting,
scheduled for July 22.
Interviews for the principals position
should start by July 2. Woss said the school
board plans to have the interim superinten-
dent assist in selecting the new principal.
Superintendent Vance Dalzin and Prin-
cipal Barry Butters both submitted their
resignations during the May 20 school
board meeting.
At the meeting, Dalzin announced that
he was selected by the Fox Point-Bayside
School Board as that districts new super-
intendent.
According to the Fox Point-Bayside
schools website, Dalzin was the unanimous
choice of the Fox Point-Bayside board at its
May 17 meeting.
The Fox Point-Bayside School District
serves about 950 students in 4K through
eighth grade in its two schools.

FONTANA To maintain sustainable
freshwater, Kikkoman gave $1 million to
the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
School of Freshwater Sciences.
Mitsuo Someya, chief executive of-
cer of the business, announced the gift on
June 7, at The Abbey Resort, at the start
of the companys celebration for its 40th
anniversary of opening the Walworth pro-
duction plant.
The funds will build the Kikkoman
Healthy Waters Environmental Health
Laboratories.
Someya said sustainable and safe water
was vital for the company, which brews soy
sauce and related products, to continue to
grow.
Safe and sustainable water is of vital
importance in Wisconsin and around the
world, Someya said. The research being
conducted may help critical issues facing
us today.

District buys video
to promote school
By Jade Bolack
WALWORTH A one-minute video
promoting Walworth Elementary School
cost the district $4,995.
The short video was lmed April 4,
and District Administrator Pam Knorr
intended to have it appear on the Wal-
worth Countys government website.
Knorr said she spoke with Greg Mee,
and he assured her that the video would
be put on the county website.
I have it from Greg Mee at
CGI Communications that it will
be on the county page, Knorr
said. It is one of the featured
videos. Yes, we have been assured
from CGI that our contract is a
valid contract.
However, County Administra-
tor Dave Bretl and Suzanne Har-
rington, administrative assistant
for the Walworth County Admin-
istrators Ofce, said the schools
video will not appear on the
county website.
According to an email from Har-
rington, only videos CGI produced for
Walworth County will be posted ... on the
countys website.
Bretl said CGI Communications made
seven free videos for the county.
They approved those videos at the
May executive committee meeting, he
said.
They sold advertising to those
videos.
Bretl said the county will post a link
to the free videos on the county website
sometime this summer, and ads from
businesses will be shown around the free
videos.
If you can picture this, someone is on
the county webpage and it says see videos
of Walworth County, Bretl said. That
link takes them to a page thats run by CGI
thats completely off of our webpage. It
has the different (county approved) videos
there. (CGI) sold advertising around the
border of the video.
Bretl said he knew of a few
businesses that had called his
ofce to know if it was a legiti-
mate contact.
The ads are how they get
reimbursed, if you will, for the
video, he said.
Knorr said the district did not
purchase an ad.
Missing link
The district contract with CGI
Communications and its subsid-
iary group e-LocalLink, doesnt
state where the video will appear.
The contract says, e-LocalLink will
provide the client a line of code, which
represents the content. This line of code
has an expiration date.
It does say e-LocalLink partnered with
the project stated above. The project listed
is Walworth County, WI.
The Regional News was not able to
reach Greg Mee at CGI Communications.

Local schools bank on open enrollment
By Jade Bolack
FONTANA Students switching from
one public school to another can mean big
revenue for some districts.
According to the Department of Public
Instruction, during the 2011-12 school year
Fontana Elementary School accepted 53
students from outside its district bound-
aries, while 38 students left for other
schools.
The 15 additional students attending
the elementary school increased state aid
to the school by more than $80,000.
Another nearby district, Delavan-
Darien, lost a net 215 students to open
enrollment and $1.28 million in state aid
that same year.
The state public school open enrollment
application period ended April 30.
Parents wishing to send their children
to a district outside their residency had
to apply to both the district theyd like to
leave and the district theyd like to
enter.
Fontana District Administra-
tor Sara Norton said open enroll-
ment options hit small districts
the hardest.
We have a small district with
a small budget, she said. Stu-
dents leaving have a large impact
on our budget.
Norton said its nearly impos-
sible to predict how many stu-
dents will open enroll in and out
of a district.
The school board may approve an appli-
cation, and parents may commit to sending
a student to the school, but its never a nal
count, she said.
You never truly know if the students
will show, Norton said. And they dont
have to stay once theyre here. They can
always go back to their home district.
The money doesnt follow the student
immediately to a new school, either.
Fontana Elementary School
Business Manager Mary Coss said
state funding for open enrolled
students is sent to a school at the
end of a school year.
If a student only stays here for
part of the year, we only get part
of the funding, Coss said. The
state prorates the funds, divides it
by how many days the student was
at the school.
The school board then, faces
tough decisions, Norton said.
We have to decide if its worth it to
create a new section of a grade when we
receive enough open enrollment applica-
tions, she said.
If the school hires a new teacher but a
student leaves mid-year, the budget could
get really tight, Norton said.
An open enrolled student entering our
school can be the deciding factor in if we
hire that additional teacher or not, she
said.
Part of the budget remains steady,
though. School districts may tax based on
the residents in the district, not just on stu-
dents attending the school.
School boards set the number of seats
available for open enrollment during their
January meeting, according to DPI rules.
Fontana School Board has set a policy,
but Norton said they dont hold fast to it.
If we have room, we want students
to come here, she said. Were not selling
anything. We dont have to persuade par-
ents to send their children here. We want to
be the school they want to come to.
Norton said some schools try to adver-
tise to parents and gain more open enroll-
ment students. Fontana doesnt do that.
Parents arent required to give a reason
for the transfer when they leave or enter a
school, Norton said.
I do hear a lot of parents say they want
to send their children to the same school
they went to, even if they live outside the
community.

FEMA money will pay for gear, equipment, training
Fire department gets grant
By Jade Bolack
WALWORTH The Walworth Fire Department will
have new personal protective gear thanks to a grant from
the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Police Lt. and Fire Chief Andy Long said the depart-
ment applied for the grant last fall.
We found out last Friday (May 31) that we got the
grant, he said. We had to give an itemized list when we
applied for the grant, so they knew that we needed gear.
The grant we received is $104,000.
The grant will be split three ways $78,300 for per-
sonal gear, $22,700 for equipment and $3,000 for train-
ing.
Long said the current uniforms and protective gear
range in age, but much of it is 15 years old.
The old gear wasnt safe, he said. We should have all
the new gear within the month.
Typically, new gear and uniforms would be itemized in
the villages budget.
The village cant afford this type of
overhaul of gear, Long said. We had
been (replacing it piece by piece) before,
getting a few new items that the village
could budget for. Now well all have the
same items, the same uniform in the
same color.
Besides personal protective gear
and uniforms, the department will also
have a new hose and nozzles and ttings
for the trucks. The grant will also cover
training for team members.
Well be able to put 10 people through the reghter
two course, Long said.
The old gear will probably be disposed of. Long said it
was too worn out to be sold to another department.
The department received a grant about 10 years ago
for $89,000 that was used to purchase breathing appara-
tuses.

Big Foot FFA scholarships
By Katy Vacula
Big Foot FFA Reporter
The Big Foot FFA Alumni awarded scholarships to
ve graduating FFA members on Saturday, June 1, at the
Senior Banquet and Awards Ceremony.
Scholarships recipients were Kyle Rambatt, $800,
Brent Kruizenga, Shelby Grinnell, and Michael Wicks
$1,200 each, and Brittany Rambatt, $1,400.
Kyle Rambatt plans on pursuing a career in the arts,
particularly welding, but is unsure about which school he
will be attending in the fall.
Kruizenga will attend the University of Wisconsin-
Rock County. Grinnell will attend UW-Platteville.
Wicks will attend UW-Rock County.
Brittany Rambatt is pursuing a career in agricultural
education and will attend UW-River Falls.
Wicks and Brittany Rambatt are also running for state
FFA ofces this year. Winners will be announced during
the State FFA convention later this month.
Scholarship recipients must have been active in the FFA
program while at Big Foot High School. Those students
planning on pursuing an agricultural major are likely to
receive a higher scholarship.

We really appreciate (Kikkomans)
commitment to the community and the
state, he said. When Kikkoman came
here, 40 years ago, it was not an obvious
decision to come to the United States
like it is now.
Walker said the U.S. marketplace
has helped Kikkoman grow, and that
has helped the local economy.
UWM Chancellor Mike Lovell called
it a great day for UWM and Wisconsin.
We are glad to be partners to share
a vision for global water safety, Lovell
said. The Kikkoman labs will advance stewardship.
Many journalists from Japan were present for the
announcement, along with local leaders.

Dalzin said the Fox Point-Bayside
position was an opportunity he could
not ignore.
Taking the job at Fox Point-Bay-
side did not indicate any unhappiness
with Williams Bay, the schools, staff or
board, he said.
Butters resigned to take a position
outside of public education with Preci-
sion Plus Inc., Elkhorn.
Butters said he will establish educa-
tion and training procedures in manu-
facturing for Precision Plus employees.
He said he will be involved in recruitment, as well.
Butters also said he was leaving with some reluctance.
But he said that starting with Act 10, there are rules
and regulations coming down from the state that will make
it difcult for him to continue as prin-
cipal.
Their resignations take effect June
30, although Dalzin has promised to
stay on as a consultant with the district
for its on-going elementary school proj-
ect.
The board began setting criteria for
their replacements that same week.
Dalzin and Butters both started
in the Williams Bay district in August
2011. Butters took over for long-time
principal Dan Bice, who retired after
21 years as principal, and Dalzin replaced Superintendent
Fred Vorlop, who left after eight years.
Woss said both Dalzin and Butters had been open with
the board about their seeking positions elsewhere.

School Board Vice President Jacob Ries said he was
happy with the video.
I think its a way to get our school out there, show the
positives and drive some more students to us, he said.
The county is trying to promote schools, businesses and
different recreational areas to be highlighted on the web-
site.
Ries said he and the board were assured that the video
would appear on the county website.
Thatd be news to all of us (if it wont be featured on
the website), he said. Thats the whole reason we got
involved with it to begin with. Theres a mix-up some-
where along the way.
Ries said that Knorr was approached by CGI Commu-
nications, and she brought the project idea to the board.
We as a board approved it based on being involved
with that whole (county website) project, Ries said. My
understanding is that CGI is working through the county
on the project.
Video production
The school board approved the funds to pay for the
video at its October meeting, as part of the use of leftover
money from the previous school years budget.
Along with the video, the board approved other pur-
chases including 125 iPads, new walkie-talkies and a scale
for the nurses room. The total used was $290,849.89,
according to documents the Regional News received from
an open records request.
A link to the video was posted to the schools website
June 5.
The video has a 10-second welcome from Knorr and
Principal Pam Larson, and then a voice-over narrates
video of different photos of the school.
Knorr said a CGI videographer came to the school to
produce the video.
They came and shot the video, Knorr said. It is a
video of photos. I did a script, and I told them exactly what
I wanted to do.
She said because of this script, the company decided
to use still photos instead of lming the building and
grounds.
They took pictures of the atrium behind us and the
band room and the choir room and all of everything,
Knorr said. I believe they did lm the outside of the
school.
She also choose who would do the voice-over.
They had about 20 different options for the narrator,
Knorr said.
Walworth Joint School District #1 providing (sic) an
educational experience that will resonate with each child
for a lifetime, the narrator says at the end of the video.
Video/Board member happy with video
By Jade Bolack
WALWORTH Despite the cold and
wet weather, Keith Harms, development
director of Inspiration Ministries, a residen-
tial facility for the disabled, said the char-
ity raised more money during its Memorial
Day weekend auction than during previous
auctions.
We had a few days of good weather
right before the auction, so many people
were able to get their boats out of storage,
and we were able to pick them up, Harms
said. We had 40 people donate cars or
boats and 46 large items were donated.
Along with the boats and cars, dona-
tions of oatation devices, rafts, anchors
and skis helped ll the auction.
Inspiration Ministries is pretty well
known around here, so a lot of marinas
help us out by telling their customers about
us when theyre looking to get rid of a boat,
Harms said.
Volunteers help on the day of the auc-
tion to keep costs down for the charity.
People like helping out, Harms said.
We have a local man come for the live auc-
tion. Gary Finley has done every auction for
us since we started doing it.
Money raised from the auction will go
into the general fund for the residence.
Almost 100 percent stays here at Inspi-
ration Ministries, Harms said. The little
bit that doesnt stay here, goes into adver-
tising.
Though residents at Inspiration Minis-
tries are charged for housing, Harms said
they do everything they can to help them
stay in nancial difculties.
Since weve opened, weve never had to
ask anyone to leave for nancial reasons,
he said. We use whatever means necessary
to keep people here.
Inspiration Ministries holds auctions
twice a year, in May and October.
Though the auctions are the main fund
raisers for the charity, Inspiration Min-
istries is currently holding a fund raising
campaign to pay for an upgraded sprinkler
system in some of their residential build-
ings.
To donate a car or boat to the charity,
call (262) 374-9175.

The Lake Geneva Fresh Air Association and Holiday
Home Camp ends its 125th year by looking toward the
future.
The observation and celebration of the camps rst cen-
tury and a quarter of service to disadvantaged youth will
be concluded at this years benet Club HHC - Painting a
Brighter Future.
This years gala will be at the Lake Geneva Country
Club on June 16.
The support and generosity of the local community is
so appreciated, Jon McLaren, the newly appointed exec-
utive director of Lake Geneva Fresh Air Association and
Holiday Home Camp, said in a press release. One of the
things Ive been most impressed with since starting here
is the connection the local community has with the camp,
McLaren said. And the gala is a way to both extend our
mission within the community and to celebrate all the
children that have come through the camp and beneted
from a fresh air, summer camp experience over the last 125
years.
McLaren and assistant director Jessica Brennan both
joined the camp within the last several months. The gates
open for the rst campers of the 2013 season on June 17.
The annual galas are themed.
Last year, the gala theme was A Step Back in Time, to
reect on the start of the Holiday Home Camp more than
a century ago.
This year, the theme will be a futuristic nightclub atmo-
sphere.
The gala evening will kick off with cocktails at 5:30
p.m. followed by a three course sit-down dinner prepared
by LGCC Executive Chef JD Walker.
Dessert will follow during the live auction.
Paintings by campers will be sold during the silent auc-
tion. Several campers will also be at the gala and share
their camp experiences with the guests.
This years festivities will also include an After Party
beginning at 9:30 p.m., when those interested can join the
event later in the evening. The late night option includes
cocktails and late night snacks.
For the anniversary nale, those in attendance will be
treated to a reworks show donated by Barry MacLean for
the second year in a row.
The annual party is the primary fundraiser for the
camp each year; over the last seven years, the gala has
raised about $125,000 annually.
This years gala is chaired by Elizabeth Ring, Lake
Geneva, who is a member of the board of directors.
Since opening its doors 125 years ago, the camp has
served more than 45,000 children in the Southeastern
Wisconsin and Chicago-land area.
The Lake Geneva Fresh Air Association was founded
in the summer of 1887 by a group of Chicago area fami-
lies who had summer homes on Geneva Lake. The group
wanted to expand upon the Fresh Air Movement that was
taking place on the East Coast.
Their initial contributions of $13,000 provided startup
capital to purchase lakefront acreage and begin construc-
tion of the retreat.
One year later, in July of 1888, the organization - and
its newly completed Founders Hall at Holiday Home Camp
welcomed the rst summer residents. By the end of that
summer, Holiday Home Camp had served 263 disadvan-
taged children.
Today, Holiday Home Camp is a member of the Ameri-
can Camping Association and is the oldest accredited
summer camp still operating in its original location.
Holiday Home sits on 26 acres along the Geneva Lake
shore in Williams Bay. Illinois and Wisconsin social ser-
vice organizations refer children to the camp.
The summer camp program consists of one- and two-
week sessions for children ages 7 to 16.
In addition to the summer camp, there is a year-round
Leadership Training Program for teens.
The camp realizes more than half of its annual operat-
ing budget through private donations, which pays for about
500 campers each summer.
It provides inner city kids with a taste of country life,
including swimming lessons, water games, boating and
shing.
The benet is sponsored by several local area busi-
nesses including, Dalco Metals, Gage Marine, ChinaWest
Jewelers, Engerman Contracting, MPC, as well as, Majic
Enterprises and Morgans & Co. Fine Picture Framing and
MacLean-Fogg Co. of Illinois.
Tickets for the gala are available online at www.holi-
dayhomecamp.org or by calling Amanda Tenut at Holiday
Home Camp Ofces, (262) 245-5161. Tickets for the full
evening are $195 per person. Tickets for the after party are
$50 per person.
Donations and gifts in kind to support camper scholar-
ships can be made to the Lake Geneva Fresh Air Associa-
tion and mailed c/o Holiday Home Camp, P.O. Box 10, Wil-
liams Bay, WI 53191.
Members of the camp board of directors are President
Molly Keller, Vice President Willis Herron, Secretary Leslie
Aranovitz, Treasurer Andy Sterkowitz and members Ulla
Brunk, John Engerman, Brigid Cashman, Jennifer Keefe,
Lucy Otzen, Jim Wilkin, Richard Paden,
Elisabeth Ring and Marie Kropp. Members emeritus
are Martha Craven, Dianna Colman, Kevin Conroy and
Jack Schwemm.

Villages look
at sharing
services
By Jade Bolack
WALWORTH The Walworth Vil-
lage Board didnt readily welcome ideas
of mutual aid with Fontana.
Earlier this year, Fontana village
trustees requested emergency service
personnel solicit additional options for
response services within the village.
Part of that was meeting with emer-
gency service teams in Walworth.
This idea came from Fontana,
Police Chief Chris Severt said. Theyre
looking to get Linn, Williams Bay, Wal-
worth and Fontana to 24/7 coverage.
Williams Bay and Linn were not inter-
ested. Well see what happens. The 24/7
idea went away quickly.
Walworth Village President David
Rasmussen said the municipalities
should use baby steps to get cover-
age.
Its funny when they dont have any-
thing (full-time response), they want to
create something huge, he said. They
can never quite get the baby steps like
hiring one person during the day.
Rasmussen said that to benet all communities, the
villages should create overlapping coverage times.
Itd be really great if we had someone who was on 6
a.m. until 2 p.m. and the other municipality had someone
start at noon and go until 8 p.m., he said. And we need to
work with the town of Walworth, too.
Trustee electronic devices
The village is checking prices and usability of portable
tablets for trustee use.
Trustee Dennis Vanderbloemen said prices for similar
tablets range from $80 to $600.
I went to Best Buy and Ofce Depot, he said. All of
the devices seemed to be comparable. They both referred
me to their business section to get business prices. They all
assume that theyll have a better price buying in bulk.
Vanderbloemen will bring more information to future
board meetings.
Ripon releases deans list
Area students have been named to the Ripon College
deans list for the spring 2013 semester, recognizing aca-
demic excellence. Among them were JoHanna Burton,
Trevor Doetsch, Jacob Gahart, Kristina Oglesby and Alli-
son Schmidt, all of Elkhorn.
Jillian Cline, Lake Geneva, and Lani Siems, Genoa City,
were also named to the list.
Locals graduate from UW-Whitewater
More than 40 University of Wisconsin-Whitewater stu-
dents presented at the 27th annual National Conference
on Undergraduate Research held April 11 to 13 at UW-La
Crosse, designed to promoted high-quality student-faculty
collaborative research and scholarship.
Local students included Ron Chester, Williams Bay,
who presented Grizzly Bears of Yellowstones Northern
Range; Sarah Gruetzmacher, Walworth, who presented
The Effects of Facebook Use on Self-Esteem; and Sarah
Wyrick, Pell Lake, who presented the Effects of Pack Den-
sity on Territorial Responses to Intrusion in the Gray Wolf
(Canis Lupus).
Studies show that undergraduate research leads to
better job readiness and encompasses a broad range of
student talents, interests and skills across academic dis-
ciplines. Additionally, participation in undergraduate
research contributes to improved student retention and
graduation rates.
Local students graduate from UW-Stout
Local students graduated from UW-Stout at the May
commencement ceremony.
They are Rory Letteney, Lake Geneva, who received a
bachelors degree in applied social science; and Broderick
Walker, Elkhorn, who earned a bachelors degree in con-
struction.
UW-Stout, Wisconsins polytechnic university, has a
long-standing reputation of serving business, industry,
education and the helping professions through its special-
ized educational programs. Enrollment this year is 9,200.
Local students graduate from Marquette
The following local students have been named to the
deans list for the spring 2013 semester at Marquette Uni-
versity in Milwaukee.
Lake Geneva students are Kelly Meyerhofer, Claire Sch-
neider and Angelica Shanahan.
Those from Elkhorn are Taylor Kegley, Zachary Flitcroft,
Kathryn Handel and Gretchen Homan.
Marquette University is a Catholic, Jesuit university
that draws its more than 11,500 students from all 50 states
and more than 75 different countries.
Volunteer Connection gets donation
Volunteer Connection received a donation of products
for their new Quality of Life Project, making sure Walworth
County seniors and veterans have a safe and healthy place
to live.
The donation came with a glitch, however. They needed
to move three storage units full of items as soon as possible.
Trucks were needed as well as manpower in a short period
of time.
The graduating class for the Alternative High School
at Gateway Technical College stepped up and completed
the community service on Tuesday, May 22. They brought
trucks and a lot of manpower to take inventory and move
windows, doors, lights and miscellaneous.
Patti OBrien and Volunteer Connection want to thank
Gateways High School class of 2013, retired veteran Grant
McMillan, Larry Green from Habitat for Humanity and the
city of Delavan for their assistance.
Paul makes deans list
Eastern Connecticut State University named full-time
student Brittney Paul, Elkhorn, to its deans list for the
spring 2013 semester.
The university is the states public liberal arts university
and serves approximately 5,400 students each year at its
Willimantic, Conn., campus and satellite locations.
Wieseman named to deans list
Lanamarie Wieseman, Lake Geneva, been named to
the spring 2013 deans list at Beloit College.
Beloit College is a residential, liberal arts college offer-
ing 40 majors to its 1,250 students.

Phoenix Bandshell season revs up
Gateway urges GED
seekers to take tests
by December
Gateway ofcials are
urging those seeking a GED
to complete all ve tests in
the program prior to a Dec.
31 deadline which will cause
all tests passed short of
completion to be deleted.
Those who pass all of
the ve required tests and
meet a minimum combined
score by the end of this year
will successfully earn their
GEDs. Students with any
tests passed short of those
ve prior to the deadline
will see those scores deleted,
with no exception. They will
then have to start over to
take and pass four content
areas, including literacy,
math, science and social
studies.
To give all those inter-
ested in obtaining a GED
the best possibility of doing
so, Gateway will boost its
course section numbers,
staff time and even offer an
intense, weeklong tailored
GED boot camp program.
Raiana Mearns, Gateway
dean of Developmental Edu-
cation, said those seeking
to take complete their GED
shouldnt delay, even though
the deadline is the end of the
year. It may take a while to
prepare for the test, Mearns
said. Especially if its been a
while between tests, or since
youve been in a classroom.
You shouldnt wait until the
last minute.
The new test beginning
in 2014 will be solely com-
puter based, although the
option to take the test by
computer currently exists in
Wisconsin. The new test is
also more costly and aligned
to national academic stan-
dards approved by 45 states.
The overhaul brings the
2014 test closer to the same
standards high school grad-
uates are expected to meet
in public schools.
Our department is
reaching out to the 3000-
plus students in Kenosha,
Racine, and Walworth
counties who have started
their GED but have not com-
pleted, Teresa La Macchia,
Gateway manager of Testing
Services said.
We are encouraging
them to nish before the
new 2014 computer-based
test takes effect so they
dont have to start over. To
help students complete their
tests, Testing Services has
added rotating monthly Sat-
urday GED test sessions and
has increased the number
of weekly GED test sessions
offered on all Gateway cam-
puses. Its not too late to
nish up the GED testing
which you may have started
several years ago.
By Wisconsin law, all
GED students or test-
takers must rst go
through an orientation ses-
sion. Sign up for those ses-
sions can be done by calling
the Elkhorn Campus (262)
741-8300. Students will be
directed to either take tests
directly or into courses.
For general informa-
tion on the GED, including
courses, call the Elkhorn
Campus (262) 741-8480.

REFINED RUSTIC
STUDIO & GALLERY
Finding creative and affordable ways to promote your business can
be a real challenge. But little did I know how much one call to the right
team, could help us market our message. From our initial visit, I was
impressed with their enthusiastic and professional approach. Phil and his
team from ReelLifeTV really took the time to understand not just what we
do, but why we do it. After grilling him on his understanding of video
production, he patiently answered all of my questions. and made me feel
totally at ease with the process.
We really didn't know what to think the day of the shoot. As you can
imagine, we were a bit nervous. But again, their confident and comfort-
able approach made all the difference in the world. It wasn't long before
we stopped thinking about the camera and just had fun delivering our
message.
Phil & Joy focused on both the obvious and under-appreciated angles
that helped us tell a complete story. And when they left, I remember
thinking that it seemed as though they had filmed quite bit of video, and
that the time had really flown by.
About a week later, the first edit was revealed to us, and I was
thrilled! I couldn't believe how wonderfully they captured the spirit and
authenticity of our business. Connecting with our customers is some-
thing we cherish, and ReelLifeTV helped us do just that. Our response has
been awesome. I can't thank them enough for the fantastic job they did
with our initial video.
For an independent business, busting through the advertising clutter,
and finding new ways to establish personal connections with potential
customers is a huge priority. They really understood that for the team at
Refined Rustic, business IS personal. So, if you're looking for an innova-
tive and creative way to promote your business, organization or event
look no further than the amazing team at ReellifeTV.net

Best
of the
spring
Last weeks season-ending loss from the
Badger baseball team marked the nal game
of the 2013 high school spring sports season.
While the memories and excitement may
be over, its important to take one last oppor-
tunity to honor the best of the best from the
last two months.
It was a
historic run for
Badger baseball.
The Big Foot/Wil-
liams Bay girls
soccer pulled off
its best record in
school history.
And the Badger
and Big Foot track
teams along with
the Big Foot golf
squad enjoyed
conference glory. The list could go on and on
for head-turning plays, epic performances
and emotional success stories.
But only two athletes, male and female,
one team and one coach can lay claim to the
Best of the Spring. These select few had
seasons to remember, exhibiting superior
talent, a desire to win and the unique ability
to make those around them better.
Heres a look at this springs winners:
Male Athlete of the Spring
Colton Andresen, Badger baseball
Ever since second grade, Genoa City
native Andresen had envisioned a big senior
year with a core group of teammates who
have been there with him through thick and
thin.
Andresen, a Viterbo University recruit
(NAIA), saw his dreams become a real-
ity this season. The Badgers won their rst
conference title since 2005 and advanced to
their rst sectional since 2008.
Andresen recognized the historic signi-
cance of the season after the game.
Since my freshman year, we always
knew senior year was going to be big,
Andresen said. We have a lot to hang our
hats on.
Andresen was the areas best pitcher and
Badgers go-to guy all season.
The southpaw recovered from arm prob-
lems during his junior year to have a career
season in 2013. He was 7-2 with a 1.77 ERA.
Andresen struck out 54 batters in 59 1/3
innings.
In Southern Lakes Conference play,
Andresen was even better, going 6-1 with a
1.24 ERA.
Andresen was a rst team all-SLC selec-
tion at pitcher.
When the Badgers needed him most,
Andresen was at his best. He went the
distance in Badgers 3-2 playoff victory over
Burlington and allowed only one earned run.
Then, in a sectional loss against Bradford,
Andresen held a potent offense to three runs
and struck out ve.
Andresen beat conference co-champion
Union Grove, and on May 21, he gave up one
hit in 2 2/3 innings of relief to pick up the
win and help Badger clinch a share of the
conference title.

LUKE BOURNEUF had a huge season for Big Foot golf.
Fontana native leads Chiefs in postseason, shines at state
A phenom in the making
By Mike Ramczyk
sports@lakegenevanews.net
FONTANA Its not easy for a fresh-
man to make the varsity squad in any
sport, let alone advance all the way to
state.
Especially when that
freshman has never been on
a golf team and has to com-
pete with his established,
talented teammates.
Fontana native and Big
Foot freshman Luke Bourneuf
made it look like a piece of cake on this
years Big Foot varsity boys golf team.
On June 3 and 4, Bourneuf, a lefty,
held his own on the states biggest stage,
the WIAA state golf meet at University
Ridge in Madison. He shot a 79 his rst
day and followed that up with an impres-
sive 74 on day two. Bourneuf tied for 10th
overall in Division II.
This spring, Bourneuf was a pleasant
surprise for a Chiefs squad that already
featured strong players like Craig Halma,
Kyle Shoger and Dylan Freytag. Big Foot
won the Rock Valley South champion-
ship and was only nine strokes away from
advancing to team state.
Bourneufs clutch play helped Big Foot
advance to sectionals as a team.
His 83 led the way at regionals,
and his 78 was a team low at
sectionals.
Bourneuf started playing
the game before the age of 3
and was competing by age 9.
He focuses on improvement every day he
steps on the course, and its the challenge
of the sport that draws him in.
The Regional News caught up with
Bourneuf recently to discuss his stellar
rookie campaign and to get to know the
guy behind the clubs.
Regional News: Take me through
your state experience. Why were
you so effective?
Luke Bourneuf: I had a fantastic
experience at state. It is an amazing course
that challenges all parts of your game. I
got to play a practice round on Sunday
and walk through a round with my coach,
Bob Sullivan. Then, during Mondays rst
round, I hit the ball really well, but didnt
read the speed of the greens well. They
were a little slower than I had judged. I
was more effective on day two because I
continued to strike the ball well but made
a lot more putts.
RN: Were you nervous at state?
LB: I was really nervous. Even in
mini-meets (during the conference
season) I would get nervous because my
score affected my teammates. State was
even more intense because the crowd was
much bigger than I am used to playing in
front of.

At the plate, Andresen
was no slouch. He hit .316
and had a .458 on-base per-
centage. Also, he totaled 10
RBIs.
Badger coach Aaron
Zweifel said any college
team would be lucky to have
Andresen on the mound
next season. Andresen cant
wait to keep playing the
game he loves, but he will
never forget Badger.
Its been special. Im
proud of them, and Im
glad I got to be a part of it,
Andresen said.
Female Athlete of the
Spring
Sam Storms, Williams Bay
softball
Having signed her
national letter of intent
to play Division I college
softball before the season,
Bay senior Sam Storms
couldve slacked during her
senior year with the Lady
Bulldogs.
Thanks to her club
team and private lessons,
she probably didnt even
have to play at all.
But Storms wanted to
have fun this spring, and
she wanted to win with her
teammates.
A leader both on and off
the eld who wasnt afraid
to display tough love to a
teammate, Storms helped
lead the Lady Bulldogs to a
14-3 record and a second-
place nish in the Trail-
ways South behind state
power Horicon.
Storms, a power pitcher
who has been striking
out batters with ease ever
since her freshman year,
was undoubtedly the best
softball player in the area
this spring.
A rst team all-Trail-
ways Conference pick,
Storms went 12-3 on the
mound with a 1.69 ERA.
She struck out 121 batters
in 95 innings and walked

Team of the Spring
Big Foot/Williams Bay girls
soccer
Week after week, oppo-
nents gave it their best
shot against the Lady Chief
Dogs.
And week after week,
they fell at the feet of Wal-
worths nest.
The Big Foot/Williams
Bay girls soccer pulled off
something only the Faith
Christian boys basketball
team has in recent years
an undefeated regular
season.
Forget school size, divi-
sion or the sport. Being
pretty much perfect for an
entire season is an amaz-
ing accomplishment at any
level.
Though Big Foot did
have a tie to start the
season, they proceeded to
reel off 15 straight victo-
ries and nish the regu-
lar season 15-0-1, easily
capturing the Rock Valley
Conference title in the pro-
cess.
Going undefeated takes
talent, but a consistent
focus and determination
to win must also be pres-
ent. Big Foot displayed all
of these attributes despite
losing their leading scorer,
the conference player of
the year and starting goalie
to graduation the previous
year.
The Lady Chief Dogs
did it with youth, as there
were only three seniors
and many of the key con-
tributors were freshmen
and sophomores.
The team featured a
plethora of all-conference
players, with Morgan Cou-
rier, Schyler Isham, Maggie
Kivlin, Molly Kovarik
and Kathryn Colby on the
rs team; Mari Hubanks
and Natalie Boldger on
the second team and Ally
Mazur and Alisa Freytag
earning honorable men-
tion.
The good news is that
seven of those nine all-con-
ference girls will be back
for next season, so expect
the success to continue in
2014.
Coach Annie Isham
joked after her teams play-
off loss that the soccer
team is now up there with
the Chiefs football team.
With this developing crop
of young talent, she may
not be too far off.
Coach of the Spring
AJ Curtis, Badger boys
track
Oh, what a difference a
year made for the Badger
boys track team this
season.
After nishing in
fourth place in conference
last season and having no
state qualiers, the boys
came out of nowhere to win
conference this season and
have a solid state presence.
AJ Curtis, in only
his third season, turned
things around from last
year. Along with a confer-
ence title, the Badger boys
won the conference relays
meet.
It was an incredible
season, Curtis said. I am
extremely proud of the
strides we made this year
and how far our team has
come.
At conference, it was
the teams depth that led to
a narrow victory. Of the 32
events, 31 scored. Badger
only had two conference
champions, Alex Martinez
in the 3,200 run and Sam
Lasch in the long jump.
At state, Martinez
broke the school record in
the 3,200 run.
The teams other state
qualier was the 400 relay
team of Connor Kotula,
Mike Mann, Andrew Allen
and Nick Hall.
RN: What changes did you make
from day one to day two at state?
LB: I played so well on Monday that I
didnt make any changes except being more
aggressive with my putting.
RN: Why were you able to be suc-
cessful this season individually and
as a team?
LB: This was my rst experience play-
ing on a golf team. It was so fun, and my
teammates are great guys. We all got along
well, encouraged each other and never put
too much pressure on ourselves. This really
allowed me to improve at my own pace. I
was really proud that we were only 10 shots
short of going to state as a team.
RN: When did you start playing
golf?
LB: I used to go to the driving range
with my dad when I was really little, and
we would putt around for fun. Then one
winter when I was 3, my mom took me to an
indoor driving range and I starting hitting
with real clubs. I played in my rst compe-
tition when I was 9 at the par-3 course at
Hawks View.
RN: What is your favorite course
to play on, and what is your all-time
lowest score on 9 holes and 18 holes?
LB: The Player and the Palmer courses
at Geneva National are tied for my favorite
places to play. My lowest 9-hole score is 35,
and I have shot 74 a number of times for my
lowest 18.
RN: Why do you think your game
is so effective?
LB: I think the best part of my game is
that Im steady and consistent without any
big weaknesses.
RN: Why do you love golf so
much?
LB: I love golf because it is so difcult. I
really like doing things that are a challenge
and require lots of skill and practice.
RN: Who has been your biggest
inuence on the golf course?
LB: My dad and my uncles.
RN: What do you plan to work on
this summer for next season?
LB: The next thing on my mind now
are the summer tournaments that I will be
playing in, and then in the winter Ill start
focusing on next season.
RN: What do you like to do in your
spare time when your not golng?
LB: Watching sports on TV, wakeboard-
ing, snow skiing, snowboarding, hanging
out with friends.

WALWORTH COUNTY COURT
Man gets prison for
drunken driving
ELKHORN A Walworth
man was sentenced June 3 to
7 1/2 years in prison after he
pleaded guilty to two separate
felony charges of seventh-offense
drunken driving.
Michael B. Thomas, 51, W6066
Water Tower Place, was arrested
Aug. 25 and Nov. 19 for drunken
driving. Before the two most
recent convictions, Thomas had
six prior drunken-driving convic-
tions.
Thomas also was sentenced to 10 years
of extended supervision, and was ordered
to pay $5,000 in nes.
After his Aug. 25 arrest, Thomas posted
bail and was arrested again on Nov. 19. A
condition of his bond was that he not con-
sume alcohol.
Because he violated the condition of
his bond, Thomas also pleaded guilty to
a felony bail jumping charge, and he was
ned an additional $500 for that
violation.
According to the criminal
complaint on the Nov. 19 arrest:
At 12:30 a.m., village of Wal-
worth police stopped Thomas
vehicle on Kenosha Street.
The ofcer reported that
Thomas had red and glassy eyes,
smelled of alcohol and was unable
to articulate his location.
According to the criminal
complaint on Aug. 25 arrest:
A Fontana police ofcer stopped
Thomas vehicle at 1:32 a.m. on Valley View
Drive at South Main Street for operating
left of center. The ofcer could smell intox-
icants on Thomas breath, and observed
that he had glassy and bloodshot eyes.
Thomas has six previous convictions
for drunken driving on May 17, 1992; Aug.
21, 1992; Dec. 24, 1993; May 31, 1996; Aug.
4, 2001 and Nov. 16, 2001.

town of Walworth, for a burglary in which
the suspect had just run from the owners
barn.
The caller followed the suspects vehi-
cle and told dispatch that it was parked in a
parking lot on Wisconsin Street in the vil-
lage of Walworth. Walworth Police Lt. Andy
Long responded to the call. Long reported
the driver was Shumak.
Long reported that Shumak was breath-
ing heavily and wasnt wearing a shirt.
Shumak told police he parked
his car because he got into an
argument with his girlfriend and
needed to cool off.
Long told Shumak to remain
seated while Long talked to the
witness.
When Long was talking to the
witness, Shumak ed.
During the chase, an employee
of a nearby business tackled
Shumak.
A Walworth County sheriffs
deputy spoke to the homeowner, who said
that he returned to his home and saw a
vehicle parked at the edge of a nearby corn-
eld. As he pulled into his driveway, he saw
a man holding a black bag and a tool box
running from his barn.
The homeowners neighbor also saw
the man running and followed the mans
vehicle until it was stopped by police.
Shumak told police that he entered the
barn without permission for tools to x
his vehicle. He said he ran from the hom-
eowner because he was scared, and he
later ran from police because he possessed
marijuana.

Currently playing on
Times change. And so do
the keepers of Lake Genevas
unique history. In the 19th
Century, the keeper of Lake
Genevas history was James
Simmons, but he passed away
as the century was ending.
We are fortunate that his
superb, unsurpassed history of
Lake Geneva in the 19th Cen-
tury, Annals of Lake Geneva,
Wisconsin, 1835-1897, sur-
vived and was reissued in a new format by the Geneva Lake
Museum last year. Simmons successors as keepers of Lake
Genevas history,
Eva Seymour Lundahl and Alice Denison Hackett, are also
gone. Eva Seymour Lundahl was the granddaughter of Moses
Seymour, who came to Geneva from Vermont with James Sim-
mons in 1843. Alice Denison Hackett was the daughter of E. D
Denison, for whom the Central-Denison School is named, and
was the granddaughter of John Burton, one of Lake Genevas
most well-known 19th-Century businessmen.
Any way you look at it,
there will be changes at the
Geneva Lake Area Chamber
of Commerce.
A few weeks ago the
chamber board announced
that George Hennerley had
retired as its head after 33
years.
A nationwide search is
under way for a replace-
ment.
But this is more than a search for
Hennerleys successor. The chambers
leadership has more ambitious goals.
Theyre rethinking the whole idea of the
chamber, broadening its scope, rening
its goals, reinventing itself.
That will impact Lake Geneva and the
Geneva Lake area. Tourism is our eco-
nomic engine. There are some who wish
they could enjoy the areas beauty without
sharing it with anyone. Places as beautiful
as Lake Geneva just dont remain secrets.
So lets make the best of this wonderful
natural resource.
And from my experience, the chamber
isnt a bunch of suits.
I think those people on city govern-
ment and the chamber who navigate our
destiny, know what they have
here and dont want to kill
the golden goose. They want
a classy, properly-scaled
retail district, not Wiscon-
sin Dells. No one wants our
environment ruined, either.
And I think theres a
movement within the cham-
ber to take on larger issues:
creating new jobs, helping
those unemployed return
to work, becoming a voice for residents
and visitors as well as businesses. Thats
a more holistic approach that would be
refreshing and potentially very positive
for the community.
Here are some of my opinions as to
what the chamber might tackle:
1. Help make Lake Geneva a winter
destination.
Even the best of our tourist-oriented
businesses struggle between Christmas
and Memorial Day. Every year we have a
handful of empty storefronts downtown.
In a way, thats OK. The strong survive
and we have new businesses to attract vis-
itors every summer. On the other hand, it
would be a boost for the entire community
if we could eliminate the view that Lake
Geneva is closed for winter. Winterfest is
a big draw, but thats just one weekend.
There is talk of expanding it to a week or
longer. Thats a start.
2. Bring the locals back to the down-
town.
The business people would love it
if locals became more vibrant custom-
ers. This disconnect is complicated and
decades old, but people have to recognize
that Lake Geneva is a tourist community.
Some working class residents of the city
see the downtown as the enemy. Some
well-heeled summer residents dont fully
involve themselves in the community
either. This doesnt have to be.

3. Leverage new media.
As much as traditional newspapers
have suffered by the move to various elec-
tronic media, we all know how important
new media is. Getting fresh leadership at
the chamber who are new media savvy
would be a big help. I might add that I
think the Regional News and our Reel-
LifeTV offshoot, can serve a purpose, too.
In the past at least, I think weve been
seen as just a nice little local paper. Id like
to believe were more than that. We can be
partners of the business community and
still keep our integrity as a source of news.
Is that comment self serving? Sure.
4. Do something to improve the
parking and trafc issues.
One member of the business commu-
nity has noted that we only have a park-
ing problem if there are too many empty
stalls. Hes right, and the trafc and
parking issues will never go away com-
pletely. There may not be a silver bullet.
A parking structure, for instance, would
be nancially challenged because it would
remain dormant in the off season (unless
we developed that winter business). That
said, I think the recent parking study done
by the city may create some tweaks like
a shuttle or better utilization of current
off-street parking.
5. Expand the downtown farther
down Broad Street.
Some visitors are disappointed that the
Lake Geneva shopping district appears to
be only a few blocks long. It doesnt have
to be.
This week is our 10 year
anniversary of sharing the
charitable works of The Time Is
Now to Help. Together we have
changed the lives of many.
Hunger, homelessness,
living without utilities, toilet-
ries and household necessi-
ties, lack of transportation and
many other pains of poverty
have been removed. The chil-
dren we assisted 10 years ago
are now hopefully grown and
healthy thanks to our caring
and sharing. Some of the senior citizens we assisted are no
longer here with us, but their last years were spent knowing
someone cared enough about them to make sure they had food
to eat, a place to call home and people in their life that cared.
Together, we assisted in removing pains of poverty through
our faith, our driven conscious to do good, a pride to do what
is morally right, following a path led by God, our love for our
fellow creations.
Our purpose continues to stand strong; we will not sit back
and ignore our fellow creations suffering in poverty. The emo-
tional pain of witnessing rsthand the pains of poverty takes a
toll on our existence. The only way to ease the pains of witness-
ing povertys injustices is to bring compassionate relief as fast
as we encounter the afiction of poverty. My dear friends in
God, these last years have been much more rewarding and less
painful knowing you were there beside us, knowing together
we accomplish so much more.
In 10 years time we have provided assistance to over 5,000
of our fellow Americans in desperate need. When you realize
this is all due to one mans dream 25 years ago to found a char-
ity that did not spend its donations on overhead and salaries, it
is an amazing journey.
My longing to provide assistance when and where it was
needed most, to the most overlooked fellow creations, the
homeless, the struggling women and children, the senior citi-
zens living cold and hungry, the handicapped without access
to basic necessities, the tears my own dear mother shed while
she was enduring the pains of poverty, were the motivation to
found The Time Is Now to Help.
As more and more of you heard the stories of those we
helped, through the newspapers, People magazine, Readers
Digest, the Associated Press, the Hallmark Channel and many
other news outlets, the more you wanted to help.
We realized the news media was the way to spread the
word of real poverty in our own home towns throughout our
great country. This was poverty you could see, feel and grasp,
not in other countries but right in the homes you drive past
each day on your way to work. Children you see in schools or
the elderly invisible to us suffering behind closed doors.
That was the beginnings of our column called The Time Is
Now to Help. Since then our story has spread to WGN, CNN,
CBS and Fox news. How it spread from there continues to
amaze all of us here every day.
The truth is you want to know the facts, what is happening
and who is hurting. You want to know how we help. You want
to be part of removing the suffering of poverty and providing
relief. Removing the terrible feeling of true hunger, providing
utilities for those living without light, heat, water ... Our com-
munities have much less homelessness due to all of us prevent-
ing the fear and shame of living without shelter.
Together, we have lifted the lives of many by providing
what we all treasure, a place to call home.
Whenever we conclude a matching grant we provide a
complete breakdown in how every penny of every donation
was spent to provide poverty assistance.
Together, we helped over 5,000 in desperate need who
would have gone without. Together, we provided rent, utili-
ties, food, auto assistance, household necessities and toiletries.
We also provided assistance with wheelchairs, home repairs,
clothing, beds, school supplies, medical assistance, dental care,
veterinary care, furniture, special education needs, emergency
shelter and much, much more. Together, we have opened food
pantries. We helped other organizations that provide true
assistance to the poverty stricken.
Does it make a difference to you or I that all these people
were helped? Absolutely. We are in a war against poverty, the
evil that inicts mental and physical pain, causing great suf-
fering to our fellow creations. I can still hear the crying and
sobbing of those suffering as I pray for God to show us the way
to help over and over again. I also feel the relief we, all of us
together, have provided over the years. Sometimes the pain is
not as obvious as the elderly woman that fell in front of me.

Looking for voices
To the Editor
The Four Seasons Chorus was formed about five years ago
to offer all singers an opportunity to perform a variety of musi-
cal concerts throughout the year and raise local awareness and
much needed funds for the hungry in our county and beyond.
Rachel West (then Bergerson) and Barb Mitchell joined
forces, having met helping with an after school chorus at Cen-
tral School years ago and being music leaders at their respective
churches.
Beginning at First Congregational UCC in Lake Geneva for
the first few seasons, we eventually spread over to faith. We
now spend equal time in both places, making it more balanced
for everyone.
As a volunteer group, we meet for about 10 to 12 weeks before
shows to prepare. We usually have two concerts each time, at
each church, and do two themed shows per year. We love to take
our songs on the road to share the joy at many care facilities.
No auditions are required, only a love of music and some
ability to carry a tune. We have done a wide variety of music
during our many themed concerts. So far, weve performed
show tunes, a Beatles concert, love songs, songs from the 21st
century, Christmas songs, autumn songs and now were prepar-
ing a whole concert of 60s music.
Since the beginning, weve never charged admission, but
have asked for donations (monetary or non-perishable items)
for the local food pantries. We even sang before the CROP Walk
for hunger last fall.
We are always looking for more voices to add to our group and
new ways to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Hunger is
a year-round thing, as is our chorus, and we are dedicated to
doing our best to help out at different times during the year.
Your next chance to help us help others is by coming to one of
our Songs from the Sixties concerts at the end of this month.
The first concert is on Sunday, June 23, at 3pm, at First Con-
gregational UCC, 715 Wisconsin St., Lake Geneva. One of the
food pantries is located on site and all proceeds will go to this
non-profit organization.
The second concert is on Wednesday, June 26, at 7 p.m, at
Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church, 420 Read St., Walworth. All
donations will go to the Walworth Food Pantry.
Our concerts are full of memorable tunes, solos, ensembles
and sing along songs. With the expert guidance of Tom Piano-
man Stanfield at the piano, the chorus will take you on a musi-
cal journey through the 60s, a decade full of changes and chal-
lenges, and great songs! Come along with us, enjoy the ride!

Lake Geneva
A practical parking
solution
To the Editor
It is time! It is time for Lake Geneva to settle our parking
problem with a practical solution!
During the summer months, parking is almost impossible
for everyone, tourists, local residents and employees of Lake
Geneva shops. The five hours parking time is not working as
it ties up parking spaces for far too long. One could even go
sailing for four hours and return, without even patronizing one
shop. Therefore, shops that rely on the summer tourist season
are penalized.
The City of Lake Geneva has discussed building a parking
area about six or seven blocks from town proper. This is an idea
that will not work. Will the city provide a shuttle service for the
handicapped and elderly? Think of the cost!
Here is a better idea. Convert the U.S. Post Office building
now located on prime city property into a public multi-level
parking lot. Its location in the proximity of shops will encour-
age people to frequent Lake Geneva, knowing that parking will
no longer be a problem.
A new U.S. Post Office could be built at Geneva Square, with
a drive-by mail-box which will be greatly appreciated by every-
one! Not to mention the ability to actually park and enter the
post office!

Quinn/An appeal on behalf of Lake Geneva history
A walking man
reects on 40 years of
determined practice
Walking is good for you.
The human body evolved
not only to stand upright but to
employ legs to move about.
After 40-plus years of deter-
mined practice I can declare
unequivocally, walking is a good
thing to do. It is not strenuous
exercise, and I have to admit there
were times when I wondered
whether it did much good. But it
is one of those long-term invest-
ments that rewards perseverance.
After 40 years and nearly
27,000 miles, there can be little
doubt about its benets.
The initial impulse for this
four-decade campaign occurred
on a sunny Sunday afternoon
in late August 1970, when three
of my children and I decided to
walk from my wifes home farm in
Grant County to my parents home
in Fennimore, 7.5 miles away. The
effort proved something, espe-
cially since 30 percent of the trek
was upgrade.
What followed was resolve
to walk with regularity. It was
sporadic activity for the next few
years, but I was certain walking
was a good thing to do.
Then in the fall of 1975 a deci-
sion was forced that made walk-
ing an essential part of my life.
The car pool to which I belonged
was breaking up, and I faced a
choice: buy a second vehicle or
walk the 2.3 miles to Badger High
everyday. With some reluctance
I began the daily 4.6-mile round
trips.
I did that for 11 years. Two
conclusions can quickly be con-
rmed. I was thoroughly awake
and alert upon arrival in my class-
room, and thoroughly and pleas-
antly relaxed upon reaching home
in the late afternoon.
I walked in all conditions,
and of course there were always
obstacles. Rain, snow, trafc,
dogs, wind, ice, heat, cold, and
the occasional wise guys remarks
from comfortable drivers seats.
Naturally when one does that
much walking, unusual and chal-
lenging opportunities present
themselves. Among these were
the 11-mile walking day at Get-
tysburg while chaperoning a high
school trip, the two treks across
the Golden Gate bridge (1983
and 1990) and the annual four-
to six-mile Friday homecoming
photo excursions requiring a lot of
moving about.
When I left teaching in 1986,
I continued walking, though with
less frequency and distance. One
of the quirks of my ambulating
habit is that the activity must
have an objective. My morning
constitutional for the daily paper
is an example. Walking just to be
walking always seemed pointless.
Recently a problem arose when
the cost of my Tribune jumped
from $1.25 to $1.99. Have it deliv-
ered and it wont cost nearly so
much. But then I lose my reason
for walking.
Ive been fortunate with good
health, but by the middle of the
ninth decade you expect things
to happen. Like the plantar fas-
ciitis and the trick knee and the
reawakening of an old lower back
problem. So it doesnt get any
easier. I am still at it in ways com-
mensurate with my age. Walking
is worthwhile and benecial, and
I dont like the idea of cutting back
any more than I like the idea of
aging.
And the best for last: I would
end this fanciful foray with the
most enjoyable walking of all,
memorable countryside wander-
ings during Wisconsins four sea-
sons. Well save that for another
time.
Johnson is a retired Badger
High School teacher.
Recently Lake Geneva has lost several more keepers
of its history, including Gretchen Allen, Wilma Habacker
Bailey Jacobson, Sam Gonzalez, Ken Schneider, Larry
Magee, and John Fedorovich. It also lost the owner of the
Breadloaf Bookstore, Kevin Vail, who was very interested
in Lake Genevas history.
With the passing of these and other individuals, Lake
Genevas collective historical memory has been greatly
diminished. Fortunately we still have Ken Etten, Ginny
Hall, John Halverson, Bruce Johnson, Vern Magee, Burly
Brellenthin, and Doug Elliot, among others, as well as the
many volunteers, who, under the leadership of Karen Walsh
and James Gee, sustain the Geneva Lake Museum.
But as times change and the keepers of Lake Genevas
history pass away, we who remain, as well as future gen-
erations of Lake Geneva residents, will necessarily have to
rely even more on the published and unpublished historical
documentary records of Lake Genevas history held by the
Lake Geneva Public Library, the Geneva Lake Museum,
the Wisconsin Historical Society, and the Area Research
Center at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Library.
Among the most useful documentary historical sources
held by the Lake Geneva Public Library are the microlmed
copies of Lake Genevas newspapers and the yearbooks of
the Lake Geneva High School and Badger High School.
But sadly, many LGHS and BHS yearbooks are missing
from the collections of Lake Geneva Public Library and the
Geneva Lake Museum.
I am therefore appealing to readers of the Lake Geneva
Regional News to rectify this lamentable situation by
donating old LGHS and BHS yearbooks in their possession
to the Lake Geneva Public Library and the Geneva Lake
Museum in order to ll the gaps in their invaluable collec-
tions of Lake Geneva High School and Badger High School
yearbooks.
Another excellent source for Lake Genevas history
would be the compilation of oral histories of Lake Geneva
based upon the memories of longtime Lake Geneva resi-
dents. Perhaps Bruce Johnson could be persuaded to con-
duct oral history interviews with such longtime Lake Gene-
vans as Burly Brellenthin, Sturg Taggert, Muriel Malsch,
Buzz Braden,Vern Magee, Doug Gerber, and Clyde Boutelle,
just to mention a few people with superb memories of Lake
Genevas history.
Copies of these oral histories could be deposited at the
Lake Geneva Public Library and the Geneva Lake Museum,
where future residents of the city would nd them to be
invaluable historical resources.
But lling the gaps in Lake Geneva High school and
Badger High School yearbooks held by the Lake Geneva
Public Library and the Geneva Lake Museum is the most
urgent priority if we wish to preserve Lake Genevas history
for future generations. The Lake Geneva Public Library is
missing Badger High School yearbooks for the years 1970,
1976, 1977, 1982, 1984, 2011, and 2012.
The situation with Lake Geneva High School yearbooks
is even more egregious. Rather than listing all of the miss-
ing LGHS yearbooks, sufce it to say that the Lake Geneva
Public Library would greatly appreciate the donation of any
LGHS yearbooks between 1958 and the date that the rst
LGHS yearbook was published, which was around 1911.
The LGPL will offer any duplicate yearbooks it receives to
the Geneva Lake Museum.
I really do hope that the readers of the Lake Geneva
Regional News will respond to this appeal and donate
LGHS and BHS yearbooks to the Lake Geneva Public
Library. I issue this appeal not only on behalf of the Lake
Geneva Public Library (and the Geneva Lake Museum),
but on behalf of Lake Genevas history and the records that
document it.
Patrick Quinn is a Lake Geneva native who is Univer-
sity Archivist Emeritus at Northwestern University.
The only non-land locked area for expansion is
down Broad Street. Simple has shown itself to be
an attraction on the north side; so was Roses Fresh
Market before it closed. The problem is that visitors
stop when they reach the dilapidated Traver Hotel.

6. Marry the needs of the downtown and the
greater chamber.
Is the goal of the tourist arm of the chamber to
bring people to the community or to properly direct
them once they get here? I think the answer is: Both.
Its not a secret that sometimes merchants have dis-
agreed on this mission. As a result, sometimes tal-
ented people have had those talents diminished by
internal debates. I interviewed several people for this
column. No one wanted to be on the record. Thats
not what I wanted, but theres a good side. Everyone
hopes new leadership will bring with it a new team
atmosphere and no one wants to undermine that with
a careless comment to the media.
I think a re-invention, a refreshing, at the cham-
ber could impact the entire community in a positive
way.
The new person will have a lot of raw material
to work with both in terms of talent and the citys
obvious charms.
Theyll have big shoes to ll, too. While some
people disagreed with Hennerley, he was universally
liked and three decades of longevity meant some-
thing.
But with new blood comes new ideas.
Itll be interesting to see how it all shakes down.

OBITUARIES
Edward Schmidt Petersen, M.D., 91, passed away at his
home in Middleburg, Va., on June 3, 2013, after a fall and sub-
sequent hospitalization.
Dr. Petersen was born on Nov. 19, 1921, in Chicago, Ill. He
was educated at the Chicago Latin School (1939), Harvard Col-
lege (1942) and Harvard Medical School (1945). He served in
the U.S. Army in the Medical Corps from 1946 to 1948, and
the U.S. Public Health Services from 1948 to 1981. After a brief
period in private practice and two years as Assistant Director of
Professional Services at the Veterans Administration Research
Hospital in Chicago, he received an appointment to the North-
western University Medical School in 1954 as the Director of
Clinics. He later became Assistant Dean and then Associate
Dean of the Medical School.
In 1972 he joined the American Medical Association in
Chicago as the Assistant Director and then Director of the
Department of Undergraduate Medical Education. He concur-
rently served, starting in 1976, as the Secretary of the Liaison
Committee on Medical Education. He retired from the AMA
in 1988.
Dr. Petersen was particularly interested in medical history
and the history of the American West. He won the University of
Pacic Philip A. Danielson award for historical writing in 1972
for his article The Military Surgeon in the West, and he wrote
more than 30 articles on various medical and western history
subjects over his career. He also had a lifelong interest in geol-
ogy, classical archeology and European history.
He was active in The Westerners, Chicago Corral, and sev-
eral medical societies, including the American College of Phy-
sicians, the American Diabetes Association, the Association
of American Medical Colleges and the American Association
for the History of Medicine. He was also on the Committee on
Hospitals and Clinics, the Illinois Department of Public Aid
and was a Director of Hull House in Chicago as well as being
on the Board of the Civic Association of Lake Geneva. During
his retirement, Dr. Petersen volunteered for many years at both
the Newbury Library in Chicago and the Sporting Library in
Middleburg, Va.
Dr. Petersen spent nearly every summer of his life at his
family home at Black Point, Lake Geneva. He loved sailing and
at the time of his death was the longest serving member of the
Lake Geneva Yacht Club. He was also a long time member of
the Lake Geneva Country Club and Racquet Club of Chicago.
Nothing made him happier than spending time with family
and friends and his attendance record at graduations, wed-
dings, reunions and other celebrations large and small was
near perfect.
He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Zoe Bakeeff Petersen,
his daughter, Catherine P. Mack of The Plains, Va., his son,
Edward B. Petersen of Washington, D.C., eight grandchildren
and nine great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at Black Point, Lake Geneva,
in mid-July. In lieu of owers, contributions can be made to the
Newbury Library, Chicago. Please send condolences to www.

My instinct was to run to her
and compassionately help.
Unfortunately others did not
have that instinct and chose
to walk around the woman
lying in distress. Thank God
we together have the instinct
to help, to lift up the suffering.
We may not always see the
suffering behind closed doors.
The working poor families that
just make enough to get by day
to day, until an emergency
causes them to fall behind. At
that point their survival stops.
That is when God leads us to
give a hand up.
Did we make a differ-
ence to the 5,000 fellow cre-
ations we helped? You better
believe it. We receive some of
the most heartfelt thank yous.
We would like to share a few
of them so you too can feel the
impact of what we do. Many
feel the good in their heart
when they realize the impact
The Time Is Now to Help has
had on another persons life.
I want to thank everyone
at The Time Is Now to Help
for helping my husband and I.
We never thought in a million
years that we would get help.
But God works in mysterious
ways and sent you to us. Once
again thank you so much and
when we are ahead in our life
we will donate food, clothes
etc. whatever we can do to help
other families or individuals
like us.
Dear The Time Is Now to
Help, I just wanted to let you
know that you are an angel on
Earth. With the help you sent
my daughter she was able to
get the medicine she needed
and we found a secondhand
motorized scooter for her.
She cried that after two
years she is able to get out of
the house on her own for the
rst time. The rst thing she
did was go to church. You are
all in our prayers. You put
such a smile on her face she
beamed. Thank you again and
God bless.
I used to cry myself to
sleep knowing what little food
I had given my children, pray-
ing they would be able to fall
asleep while still hungry. I
kept losing weight not having
enough to eat myself. Thank
you to God for leading us
to your help. Our lives have
changed so much for the
better. We have food, I have a
job and we are nally able to
survive. God Bless The Time
Is Now to Help.
I may be too old to do
much but I can express my
thankfulness. As you know,
since you helped me celebrate,
I am 82 years old. I remem-
ber crying all the time, know-
ing I was alone, sitting in the
dark with my electricity off.
I felt like an empty shell with
no love or purpose. I just felt
poor. I remember laying down
to sleep crying because no one
cared. Then you knocked on
my door. I just stayed in bed
not acknowledging the noise.
Who would knock on my door?
I tried to ignore it but you kept
knocking. I opened the door
and you were there. I asked
who would care about an old
woman and you said, We
do. The Time Is Now to Help
cares. I am living more now at
82 than I have in years. Thank
you for renewing my life with
love and care.
The last 10 years of us
growing together is so much
more rewarding than my rst
15 years without all of you.
Thank you for being there
with me.
Many stories and faces
remain in our memories of
bringing caring and sharing
to our fellow creations. We
love to read notes and emails
from people we helped in the
past that are now doing great.
When they remember the
helping hand we gave so many
years ago we know our impact
was felt. That impact would
have not been possible without
all of you helping us for the last
ten years. Heres to another 10
years of caring and sharing for
our fellow creations.
Thank you for reading our
column and sharing the mes-
sage of hope. Please network,
share our message of love with
all your family, friends and
business associates. Please

Downtown
I
n 1873, the Lake Geneva Herald
had some big stories. There was the
kidnapping of the Linn Reek familys
children, Lillie and Alfred. (They were recov-
eredanother big story.) The Rev. C.A. Williams
chopped off his thumb. (No word on whether it
was recovered.) Civil War General Philip Sheri-
dan and President Grant visited the city, and the
Lady of the Lake was launched for the summer.
But no matter how big the news week was, the
Whiting House construction progress was often
given a mention in the Herald. The hotel was
being built in the heart of downtown, and Lake
Genevans were keenly interested in the progress
of the luxury lodging.
In the aftermath of the Chicago Fire in 1871,
and with the advent of railway service to Lake
Geneva, more families were spending time in
their summer cottages on the lakeshore. With
the increasing popularity of Lake Geneva as a
summer destination, those who didnt have per-
manent digs in the city were always on the look-
out for a good hotel and the Whiting House
was one of the best. Good enough for dignitaries
and for the average summer wanderer, as the
Herald called its guests.
We all want to hurry our new hotel, for the
visitors are overowing the other hotels, and
some are staying away who would come if they
were certain hotel accommodations would be
had, the Herald editor wrote. The building is
moving, having reached its fourth story. It is to
have still another story, we are told, which will
be a large dance hall. Upon this will be a cupola
and railing around, to allow guests the pleasure
of a magnicent lakeview. The fth story did
not emerge, but the building was topped with a
cupola that provided that magnicent view.
David T. Whiting laid the cornerstone of the
wooden structure on April 22, 1873, the same
day that President Grant visited. The hotel, which
stood at the corner of Broad Street and Wrig-
ley Drive, where the Geneva Towers is presently
located, was nished in 1874. According to the
Annals of Lake Geneva Wisconsin by James
Simmons, it relieved the pressure to some
extent as far as lodging scarcity; the Whiting
House could accommodate 200 to 300 guests.
And by all accounts, they were accommodated.
The Herald skews poetic in its 1885 writeup
of the scene from any of the Whitings veran-
das: Innumberable fairy-like rowboats, which
dart hither and thither over the placid waters.
Music oats from shore to shore and one real-
izes deeply the pleasures of summer resorting.
Guests returned year after year to take in the
citys summer regattas as well as the hotels
legendary cuisine (No effort spared to provide
all the luxuries that the markets and seasons
afford).

Amenities listed in the Heralds writeup take
a more prosaic view of a stay at the Whiting;
much like todays hotels boasting of free wire-
less in every room, the Whiting could brag
about its onsite telephone and telegraph ofces.
The hotel also featured a bar, billiards room and
barbershop in the basement, and retained its
status as the largest hotel in the city through
its existence.
General Sheridan was among its summer
guests. The Lake Geneva Yacht Club notes that
Sheridans visits were so anticipated that in
1874, his friends arranged a sailing race in his
honor. The idea was to make it an annual event,
so funds were raised to commission a perpetual
trophy. The race date was set for the end of
August and Sheridan was invited to take in the
action from the judges boat.
The race began at the Whiting House pier.
Two years later, the founders of the Lake Geneva
Yacht Club gathered at the hotel to form their
organization, and the Sheridan Race was there-
after run by the club. That year, Sheridan pre-
sented the trophy, a silver model of the sloop
Nettie, winner of the inaugural race.

By 1885, the Whitings proprietor was E.H.
Caskey. The Herald announced he was the rst
Lake Geneva hotel owner to open the doors for the
upcoming summer, and detailed how he had spent
the off-season improving the amenities at the Whit-
ing. Caskey had renovated the structure from top
to bottom.
Less than 10 years later, a re raced through the
structure from bottom to top, undoing Caskeys work
and nearly killing some of the Whitings guests. The
local paper, by then The Lake Geneva News, ran a
front-page story on the catastrophe in its July 12,
1894 edition.
It was the largest re to date, in a time when res
by the dozen were listed in year-end recaps of the
news.
The re started in the kitchen or laundry and ran
up through the four stories as though they were made
of tinder, a comparison that in a hot, dry summer
was not all that hyperbolic. The Whiting, after all,
was a wooden building.
The Whiting was only sheltering 20 to 40 guests
at the time of the blaze. Among them were Alonzo
Hatch and his wife, Chicago residents who were on
the second story, directly over the res origin. The
News reported they were nearly suffocated with
smoke upon awaking.
Mr. Hatch only waited to put on part of his
clothing, took his wife and what he could carry, and
reached the street in safety, well satised to lose
nearly all their clothing.
Hatch sang tenor for the Ford Opera Company,
which had just given performances of The Mikado
the previous weekend. Soprano Kittie Marcellus was
still in Lake Geneva as well, and escaped the third
oor of the Whiting after being awakened by screams
and smoke.
She coolly dressed herself and escaped, leaving
her trunk, containing all she possessed. A reman
afterward climbed to the room on a ladder and threw
the trunk from one porch to another until it reached
the ground, battered and broken, but contents safe,
according to the News.
The paper also reported that the re boys
had responded promptly and soon had three hoses
directed at the ames, but the hotel was obviously
a loss. Fireman Larry Watson was seriously injured
by a falling ladder, and during the chaos one of
the hoses was accidentally? turned on the crowd
of onlookers. They got wet and away, the story
summed up. (The question mark after accidentally
really did run in the original story. And the following
week, the paper mentioned that the boys of the re
company were satised with the pressure of the
water at the re.)
After the re, the Whiting House property remained
empty for years. The Lake Geneva News reported
now and then on the prospects of the land, support-
ing one of the owners idea of 20 residents purchas-
ing the property and starting up another hotel.
Another news brief took a hopeful tone as a great
hotel man arrived from the east coast to consider
the possibilities. Nothing came of the visit, though,

and in 1911 the prime real
estate became the site for
Frank Lloyd Wrights vision
of what a summer wanderer
would want in a Lake Geneva
hotel.
Wrights hotel didnt suc-
cumb to re, as the Whiting
did, but to the march of time.
It was torn down in 1970
and replaced by the Geneva
Towers, which as its name
implies, rises taller than the
Whiting Houses cupola did
the better to enjoy the
lake views and breeze.
The Towers has had its
share of detractors, as did
the Wright-designed hotel,
but the historical record
shows that the Whiting
House was a welcome addi-
tion to the Lake Geneva sky-
line, and its eventual loss
lamented by those who in
1873 had felt new pride
in the building as it slowly
but grandly looms up on the
shore.

is located east
of downtown
Lake Geneva
on the
shorepath;
from the
Riviera, head
toward Stone
Manor, on
your left.
Sources differ on the
mileage of the Geneva Lake
shorepath. But everyone
agrees the walk is worth it.
The path, which is open to
the public, circles the entire lake
and affords hikers the chance to
experience panoramic views --
both of Geneva Lake and the
estates that dot its shoreline.
From its origins as a trail
connecting Native American set-
tlements to its present-day usage
as a public hiking attraction, the
shore path has timeless appeal.
At more than 20 miles, the
length can seem intimidating, but
there are a number of ways to break the walk up into segments.
Access is available at Lake Geneva, Williams Bay and Fontana
parks, where hikers can find public parking.
Shorepath conditions range from easy, level sidewalks to
rougher terrain.
Estimated walking time for the entire circuit is between
eight and nine hours, depending on pace and weather condi-
tions.
Points of interest include Stone Manor, the largest
lakeshore home; the Wrigley estate, a home built in the style of
Frank Lloyd Wrights Falling Waters; and the historic Lake
Geneva Yacht Club.
As the Walworth County
seat, the city of Elkhorn
has grown leaps and
bounds since it was
founded in 1838.
Strong community roots
and an active industrial
base have made the city a
proud contributor to the
regions legacy.
As the site for the
Walworth County Fair, and
as the Christmas Card
Town, Elkhorn
welcomes
thousands of
visitors from all over
Wisconsin and beyond
each year.
Discover Elkhorn for

There are one million
acres of lawn across the
country.
Many homeowners as-
pire to having a lush, green
lawn as the showcase of
their properties. The front
lawn can make a state-
ment and indicate to pass-
ersby the property owners
personalities and design
preferences.
Lawn care takes some
dedication and hard work,
but there are certain ways
to cut down on the amount
of effort required to main-
tain a landscape. By em-
ploying a few different
shortcuts, you can have a
healthy, lush lawn without
spending all of your free
time cutting the grass or
pruning the trees.
Stop weeds at the start.
Weeding is one of the most
time-consuming parts of
maintaining a lawn. Weeds
can proliferate throughout
the lawn if not addressed
in a timely manner. Once
weeds take root they can
become a nuisance, so its
best to treat weeds before
they even have a chance to
sprout. Apply a preemer-
gent weed control prod-
uct as soon as possible in
the spring and then reap-
ply it about three months
later to ensure weeds are
eradicated. That equates
to much less tedious lawn
maintenance during the
season.
Plant a urine-resis-
tant grass. Having a dog
and maintaining a lush
lawn has always been a
particular conundrum for
homeowners.
Dog urine is high in
nitrogen. While nitrogen,
when applied in the correct
ratio, can be a lawn-growth
stimulant, in the large con-
centration that occurs in
pet urine, it causes the
grass to dry up and burn,
resulting in bare spots. Re-
planting with urine-resis-
tant grasses can help cut
down on the level of dam-
age to the lawn from your
own pet or pets that hap-
pen to make potty stops on
your property. The grasses
most resistant to urine
tend to be perennial rye-
grasses and fescues.
Wake up and water.
Watering in the early morn-
ings saves time and energy
in the long run by fostering
a tougher, more drought-
resistant lawn. If you wa-
ter early in the day, less
water will be lost to evapo-
ration. Limit watering to
a few times per week, and
less if you have had ade-
quate rain. Avoid watering
at night, which can expose
the lawn to bacteria and
attract insects.
Mow when the lawn is
dry. Its not adviseable to
mow the lawn when it is
wet.
Slippery conditions
can not only make it more
dangerous to push a mow-
er, but also slow down the
time it can take to tackle
the chore. The mower
blades can become clogged
and coated with wet grass
clippings, necessitating
stopping and starting the
task.
Another thing to
consider is lawn dis-
eases spread more read-
ily through wet clippings.
Stick to mowing when the
lawn is completely dry.
Let clippings y. Mulch-
ing mowers, or those that
just distribute clippings
on the lawn as you go, can
be healthier for the grass.
They will serve as fertilizer
and redistribute nutrients
to the lawn as they break-
down into the soil. Accord-
ing to The Organic Lawn
Care Manual, leaving clip-
pings on the lawn will ful-
ll about 25 percent of fer-
tilizer requirements. Plus,
you save time bagging up
clippings.
Mow less often. Raise
the mowers blade so that
the grass is longer in be-
tween cuttings. The taller
grass will shade the soil
and block weeds from
germinating. It also helps
improve soils moisture re-
tention.
Dont cut corners. Ad-
justing a landscape design
to have arches and curves
can reduce the time it
takes to mow and edge a
property. Hard corners in
a landscape will require
more time to keep straight
and pristine.
Check your tools. Edg-
ing can be done by using
a gas-powered edger or a
string trimmer. Before you
begin to edge, inspect these
tools to ensure theyre ca-
pable of handling the task
at hand. Inspect the blades
on a gas-powered edger
to make sure they havent
dulled since their most re-
cent use. If they are dull,
sharpen them before you
start to edge. When using a
string trimmer, make sure
you have enough string on
hand to complete the proj-
ect. String trimmers use a
particular kind of string,
so visit your local lawn
care or hardware store if
you dont feel like you have
enough.
Position your edger
properly. Once you have
given your tools the green
light, its time to start edg-
ing. When you begin, make
sure the edger is between
the sidewalk or driveway
and the edge of the lawn,
placing the wheel of the
edger on the sidewalk or
driveway and then push-
ing and pulling the edger
until you have created a
clear edge. If you have nev-
er edged before, you may
want to practice on small-
er, more isolated areas un-
til you become comfortable
operating the edger.
