AUKESHA — Robyn Wittkopf of Pewaukee could barely contain her genuine excitement as her name was called on stage as both Miss Congeniality and the 2014 Waukesha County Fairest of the Fair in the Leinie Lodge Wednesday evening.

“I’m ecstatic,” the 19year-old University of Dubuque student said as friends and family crowded around to congratulate her on the honor. “I really didn’t think that I would receive both.”

Wittkopf said her many years volunteering at the fair has given her the confidence to go out and represent all the fair has to offer.

For the last nine year, she has been very active with the fair’s sheep project, which included showing sheep, helping with sheep lead-in and handing out ribbons and awards to participants. She has also shown knitting, sewing, rabbits and more.

Wittkopf, who is currently going to school with hopes of becoming a pediatric oncology nurse, had to answer two random questions and perform a faux radio ad promoting the fair in front of the audience.

“My dad,” she confidently said after being asked who

He is always encouraging me to success and as a daughter, that’s one of the greatest things to have. He is just an incredible man to look up to.”

Judges Mary McGrath and Chuck Malone deliberated for twenty minutes before selecting Wittkopf.

WAUKESHA — Police have arrested a total of three teenage suspects in a string of burglaries to occupied residences on Waukesha’s southwest side, and despite charges not yet being filed, a court commissioner set bail at $100,000 for one of them.

Waukesha police arrested Jonathan Lilteich, 17, on Tuesday after executing a search warrant at his home in the 300 block of Douglas Avenue. Police said Wednesday they had also arrested Harley McKay and Colin Hoya, both 18 years old.

Court Commissioner Laura Lau set Lilteich’s

FLAVOR OF THE DAY Today and Friday

New Crime Stoppers efforts dramatically increase tips attorney.

In March 2012, Crime Stoppers of Waukesha County went online with its new website and a system through which individuals could send in tips by email, text, the Crime Stoppers website or Facebook.

“We had to make a significant financial investment to make the change; however, the incredible increase in tips that have helped solve crime has made it all worthwhile,” Schimel said.

Crime Stoppers offers an opportunity for individuals to receive a reward for providing information that helps law enforcement solve and prevent crimes.

Informants may remain completely anonymous.

Prior to March 2012, the only way to submit a tip was by calling a toll-free phone number. The new system, called Tip Soft, is much more accessible and has resulted in an incredible increase in tip activity.

fund the tip payments.

The Crime Stoppers of Waukesha County website is www.stopcrimewaukesha.com, and is also accessible through links on the websites for most of the county’s school districts and police departments, as well as through the Waukesha County and Waukesha County district attorney websites.

The large increase in tip activity has also led to a dramatic increase in the rewards that are paid out.

Because Crime Stoppers of Waukesha County is not government-funded, community funds are needed.

Contributions are taxdeductible.

A second recent digital improvement is the launch of a PayPal account for individuals wanting to make online donations to Crime Stoppers to help

Hartland approves firearms ordinance HARTLAND — During its meeting Monday, the Hartland Village Board adopted a firearms ordinance which removed the prohibition of open carry in parks.

The creation of the ordinance was brought about by an incident in Oconomowoc where an unidentified man was photographed with a gun at a park. Village Administrator David Cox said allowing people to openly carry firearms in parks means the village is now in compliance with state law.

The Hartland Finance Department also sought permission to submit a water rate case application with the Board Service Commission to be allowed to increase the water rate by 3 percent. According to a village memo, the average Hartland household would see an approximate increase of $1 to $3 on their quarterly water bill

Cox said several years ago, “the Village Board decided not to implement a large increase that would have been justified based on a full rate study approved by the PSC. Instead, a smaller increase was implemented and the village has taken smaller increases annually thereafter based on PSC regulations. While that continues to move the Water Utility in the right direction, annually a review is performed to monitor when a full rate study might be needed. The hope is that by using small regular increases, we will be able to avoid a large spike in rates.”

City, WDBA spar over possibly misappropriated money WDBA: City having buyer’s remorse isn’t our problem

By Sarah Pryor Freeman Staff

WAUKESHA — It’s been more than a year since property owners voted to dissolve the state’s oldest Business Improvement District, but the book still hasn’t been closed as city officials and property owners spar with another downtown association over the possible misappropriation of money. However, the president of that downtown association said this is just the latest example of the same few people making allegations that are never proven.

“I believe a crime has been committed,” said Jeff Barta, one of the downtown property owners who asked city officials about approximately $13,000 in BID expenditures for items that might not have been BID events. The items included carriage rides, public radio advertisements, the Santa Run and more that were historically put on by the Waukesha Downtown

Business Association.

Mayor Shawn Reilly asked WDBA President Norm Bruce about the expenditures in a May 15 letter and asked for a response by May 23.

Bruce responded on July 9, saying he declines to respond to Reilly’s request in any detail.

“If you’d like discovery from us, you can ask for it in a court proceeding,” Bruce said. “However, we expect to be promptly dismissed as a party from any such lawsuit and again quite the drama would again take place.”

Bruce also said the WDBA was an “innocent receiver” of payments of goods and services and that “the city changing its mind or having buyer’s remorse is not the WDBA’s problem.”

Barta said it’s possible the

entire issue will end up in civil court because the property owners want to make sure they receive all the money they’re entitled to when the city disburses the remainder of funds in the BID account.

City Attorney Brian Running said the city will have to proceed with its investigation without the WDBA’s cooperation.

Bruce, himself a former BID Board president, said these are all leftover issues from a BID that was supposedly done in April 2013.

“It’s the same thing that’s been said over and over and nothing’s been proven,” Bruce said. “When do we finally say those issues are resolved and move on.”

Last week The Freeman reported no criminal charges were being filed as a result of a Sheriff’s Department investigation into a fraudulent invoice paid by the BID for some Santa Run T-shirts.

School District of New Berlin to seek community input on facilities projects NEW BERLIN — The School District of New Berlin has approved an $18 million long-range facilities plan to address facility needs, which will be funded through the district’s operating budget, fund balance, and borrowed funds through the energy efficiency revenue limit (Act 32).

The plan includes all SDNB schools receiving upgrades to security, which will entail the replacement of doors, security cameras and monitoring devices, and the remodeling of front offices to better control visitor access. The plan also includes renovations to all schools that will increase energy efficiency for longterm cost savings.

New Berlin Eisenhower High School will receive the most updates with many renovations occurring over the summer, including locker room remodeling, a replaced PA system throughout the

school, updated bathrooms, and new auditorium seating for safety purposes.

While these projects are currently underway, there are still identified projects within the district that will need about $22 million in funding, and the board is asking the community for its opinion.

“As a board and administration, we have first prioritized projects that support safety, academics and energy efficiency,” said Board President Dave Maxey in a release.

“Additional projects will certainly enhance our school district facilities, but we need to know how the community feels about them.”

Patron Insight, a research company that specializes in working with school districts on facility planning, will be asking New Berlin taxpayers their opinion on the currently unfunded projects.

Four-hundred registered voters in the district will be called in September on their landline or cell phone and asked to weigh in on the identified projects. The projects include replacing the pool and adding gym space at Eisenhower, installing air conditioning at Popular Creek Elementary and Orchard Lane Elementary, and the replacement of exterior doors at New Berlin West High School.

“The data will inform our next steps in the planning process,” Maxey said. “We need to know if the community values the projects we have identified for our schools, and if it would be willing to support them.”

The telephone survey will also be available online for any member of the community to complete.

IN BRIEF Utah woman hosts fundraiser for stabbing victim

Milwaukee woman charged in Butler burglary

A relative of Langford further identified the person on the video as her, the complaint said.

WAUKESHA — A Utah woman is hosting an online fundraiser for the 12-yearold girl who was stabbed 19 times, allegedly by two of her classmates earlier this summer.

Ashley Chappell, a Jamberry Nails consultant from Salt Lake City, has set up an online party for people to buy nail decals and all proceeds will be donated to the victim’s family.

Chappell said the victim’s grandmother is a friend and former neighbor, which is what inspired her to help out. She said she was also inspired by a Jamberry decal design that’s purple with hearts, which are two of the victim’s favorite things.

WAUKESHA — A Milwaukee woman has been charged after she allegedly was caught on video surveillance burglarizing a Butler business owned by relatives.

Corina Langford, 46, was charged Wednesday in Waukesha County Circuit Court with one count of burglary and faces 12 1/2 years in prison if convicted.

Online court records indicate the case was filed only, with no appearance in court, but when she appears she is to be held on a $1,000 cash bail.

The criminal complaint against her said an employee of Dorshak Family Tree Service reported May 6 that an envelope containing $205 was missing from a locked filing cabinet. Surveillance video showed Langford, known to the employee as a relative of the owners of the company, entering the business and stealing the envelope with the money in it.

Man charged with endangering safety in Brookfield

Scott Wimer enters a courtroom Wednesday for an initial appearance to face charges related to a standoff at a New Berlin pharmacy.

Man charged with robbing New Berlin pharmacy Pharmacist attempted to tase Wimer, who handed him gun

By Sarah Pryor Freeman Staff

WAUKESHA — A Milwaukee man could face 50 years behind bars and $125,000 in fines for allegedly robbing a New Berlin pharmacy at gunpoint last week. The story initially made headlines because the pharmacist reportedly disarmed the man, taking his gun and putting it by the back door.

Scott Wimer, 43, was charged with armed robbery and possession of a firearm by a felon on Wednesday. Court Commissioner Laura Lau set his cash bail at $50,000 and set his next hearing for 1:15 p.m. Friday.

According to the criminal complaint, New Berlin police responded to the New Berlin Pharmacy, 14105 W. Greenfield Ave., just after 4:30 p.m. July 9 after a witness called 911 to

report a man entering the pharmacy with a shotgun.

Police surrounded the pharmacy and took Wimer into custody just before 6:30 p.m.

He was immediately transported to the hospital because he told police he consumed 21 Oxycodone pills while inside the pharmacy in an attempt to kill himself rather than going to jail.

According to the complaint, the pharmacist told police that Wimer was attempting to fill a prescription for 21 Oxycodone pills, but the prescription had an expired DEA number and was thus invalid.

After the pharmacist refused to fill the prescription, Wimer allegedly went out to his vehicle, got a shotgun, came back inside the pharmacy and yelled “Mr. pharmacist, you’re going to fill my prescription right now,” while wav-

ing the barrel over the pharmacist’s head.

According to the complaint, the pharmacist attempted to shoot Wimer with a Taser, but it failed to work so he began processing the prescription, asking Wimer to pay about $33.

Wimer only had $26, and after he paid the pharmacist, he offered the pharmacist the gun, saying it wasn’t loaded.

According to the complaint, the pharmacist told Wimer to set the gun on the counter and back away, and he then put the gun by the back door before exiting the pharmacy.

Wimer told police the next day that he wanted to commit suicide because he’s currently homeless and living out of his broken-down vehicle, he doesn’t have a job and his wife has cancer. He also said he’s addicted to pain pills since hurting himself on the job as a welder, and uses alcohol as a “crutch.”

BROOKFIELD — A man is being charged with endangering another person’s safety after he fired a handgun on Saturday afternoon.

The Brookfield Police Department received a call around 12:04 p.m. Saturday about a woman’s exboyfriend who was possibly located in woods near the 13300 block of Kinsey Park Drive armed with a gun, according to police records.

Capt. Phil Horter said the man did fire a round from the handgun, which was stolen from Beloit, with a person nearby. The man is being charged with recklessly endangering safety and possession/receiving stolen property, Horter said.

The man was arrested at the scene and no one was injured.

FOCUS ON HEALTH

Health officials: Food label changes not enough WASHINGTON D.C. (AP) — Nutrition facts labels on food packages list ingredients and nutrient levels, but they don’t tell consumers outright if a food is good for them.

Public health advocates say that information is necessary to help consumers make healthy choices at the supermarket. They’d like to see labels on the front of packages and a clearer statement of which ingredients are good and which should be avoided.

The Food and Drug Administration is working on a label overhaul and has proposed two different versions.

Writing separately in The New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday, former FDA Commissioner David Kessler and former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official William H. Dietz both say the FDA doesn’t go far enough. Dietz, the CDC’s former director of the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity, is now with George Washington University.

Five ways these experts, and others, say nutrition facts labels could be improved: INDICATE OVERALL NUTRITIONAL VALUE: The FDA proposed a nutrition facts overhaul in February that made a lot of improvements sought by the public health community.

There was more emphasis on calories, revised serving sizes closer to what Ameri-

Five vehicles in collision WAUKESHA — Five vehicles were involved in a collision in the city of Waukesha Wednesday at the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and Barstow Street.

cans really eat and a new line for added sugars. But Kessler says there is nothing in the new framework that “actively encourages consumers to purchase food rich in the fruits, vegetables and whole grains that are rightfully considered ‘real food.’”

Both Kessler and Dietz say the panel’s emphasis on specific nutrients gives food companies the ability to make claims on the fronts of their packages that can mislead consumers. For example, sugary or fatty foods can entice customers by adding fiber and promoting that.

Diners often consume more of a food that is advertised as low in calories, whether it is healthy or not.

As Michael Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest puts it: “It’s a bunch of technical terms — saturated fat and cholesterol and dietary fiber. What do those mean? Are these numbers high or low, good or bad, what do you do with it?”

MAKE INGREDIENT LISTS CLEARER: Shoppers may turn over a package of food and look for ‘‘sugar’’ on its ingredient list. What that consumer may not know is that ‘‘sugar’’ could be listed as maltose, dextrose, sucrose, corn syrup, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, highfructose corn syrup, honey or a variety of fruit juice concentrates, among other ways. ‘‘Tiny type, complex names, and confusing formats make many ingredient

lists almost impossible to read or understand,’’ Kessler says. He added, ‘‘If we instead defined all forms of sugar as a single ingredient, sugar might emerge near the top of many products’ lists.’’

CREATE A DAILY VALUE FOR SUGAR: Though public health specialists have overwhelmingly praised the FDA’s proposed addition of an “added sugars” line that would distinguish from naturally occurring sugars, Kessler says the agency needs to include a line suggesting how much sugar people should eat daily.

The FDA has said they didn’t include a line because there is no accepted recommendation for how much sugar should be consumed on a daily basis.

PUT LABELS ON THE FRONT, TOO: The FDA said in 2009 that it was developing proposed nutritional standards that would have to be met before manufacturers place claims on the fronts of packages. That effort has since stalled as the industry has said it is working on its own standards, a move that has frustrated public health advocates.

GIVE THE LABELS SOME CONTEXT: At a recent public meeting, several experts told the FDA they would endorse a version of the nutrition facts label that would sort nutrients by “get enough” and “avoid too much.” The FDA offered that version as a second option in February’s proposal.

Lawsuits, impeachment distract voters from Dems’ miserable record Whenever Democrats are in real trouble politically, the Republicans seem to come up with something new that distracts the public’s attention from the Democrats’ problems. Who says Republicans are not compassionate?

With public opinion polls showing President Obama’s sinking approval rate in the wake of his administration’s multiple fiascoes and scandals — the disgraceful treatment of veterans who need medical care, the Internal Revenue Service cover-ups, the tens of thousands of children flooding across our open border — Republicans have created two new distractions that may yet draw attention away from the Democrats’ troubles.

From the Republican establishment, Speaker of the House John Boehner has announced plans to sue Barack Obama for exceeding his authority. And from the tea party wing of the Republicans, former Gov. Sarah Palin has called for impeachment of the president.

Either the Does President Obama lawsuit or an deserve to be sued or impeachment impeached? Yes! Is there a chance in hell that — or both — snowball’s either the lawsuit or an can hurt the impeachment will succeed?

Republicans, No! Barack Obama’s repeated by making it disregard of the laws that he look like they is supposed to follow, and his blatantly changing these laws are playing

by Congress, are a Mickey Mouse passed threat to the whole constitupolitics during tional form of government, on which all our freedoms an election depend. year.

Once a president — any president — can create his own laws unilaterally, we are on our way to becoming a banana republic, where arbitrary rule from the top replaces representative government by “we the people.”

Why not sue Barack Obama then, or impeach him?

For the simplest of all reasons: Neither of these actions is going to do anything to stop Obama, or even discredit him — and both can create a distraction that draws attention away from the Democrats’ disasters during an election year.

Either the lawsuit or an impeachment — or both — can hurt the Republicans, by making it look like they are playing Mickey Mouse politics during an election year. President Obama is already making a joke out of Speaker Boehner’s threatened lawsuit by saying, “So sue me!”

Courts don’t like to get involved in cases where one branch of government is suing another — and the Supreme Court does not have to take any case that it does not want to take. Even a lower court can throw out Boehner’s lawsuit as a political issue that does not belong in court. Then it will be the Republicans who will have egg on their faces.

As for impeachment, the House of Representatives can impeach any president they want to.

But an impeachment is essentially just an indictment that leaves it up to the Senate to decide whether to vote to remove the president from office.

So long as the Democrats control the Senate, impeachment of Barack Obama is guaranteed to lose. And this too would leave the Republicans with egg on their faces during an election year.

The political fate of the Republican Party is not something that those of us who are not Republicans need to worry about. If they want to shoot themselves in the foot again, so be it.

But all Americans have to worry — and worry big time — about the fate of this country if Republicans blow their chances of taking control of the Senate.

If Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid continues his iron control, President Obama can nominate whatever kinds of federal judges he wants to, knowing that they will be confirmed by the Senate.

Since federal judges have lifetime tenure, this would in effect extend the Obama administration long past the point when Barack Obama leaves the White House. All he needs to do is pack the federal courts with judges who share his contempt for the Constitution and his zeal to impose a far-left agenda at all costs.

This year’s elections — especially the Senate elections — can decide the fate of this country for a long time to come. That is why Republicans’ launching of foredoomed symbolic actions like lawsuits and impeachment is such an irresponsible self-indulgence.

When the country is at a historic crossroads is not the time for futile gestures like this, which can create bigger disasters than we already have.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Schimel endorses Severson for sheriff To the editor: We have a great opportunity on Aug. 12 to elect an extraordinarily qualified candidate for Waukesha County sheriff, Inspector Eric Severson. I have worked with Eric for 25 years, and have seen firsthand that he has the integrity and leadership qualities that make him the handsdown best choice to be our next sheriff.

Severson has served as a supervisor in the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department for more than 20 years and is currently second in command under Sheriff Dan Trawicki. In addition to my support as your DA, Eric is endorsed by Sheriff Trawicki, retired Sheriffs William Kruziki and Arnold Moncada, County Executive Dan Vrakas, County Board Chairman Paul Decker, every police chief who has issued an endorsement in the race, and four police associations including the Waukesha County Deputy Sheriff’s Association, which is the voice of the frontline deputies Eric currently supervises.

For nearly three decades, Severson has played a major role in making the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department an agency of which we should all be proud. As a patrol deputy, he was selected to be one of Waukesha County’s original K-9 handler deputies. During this time, Eric founded the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Canine Handler Association, which is still in existence today. Every sheriff he has served has promoted Eric higher and higher in the department, and each time, he has exceeded their high expectations.

In the race for Waukesha County sheriff, Eric Severson is the only real choice.

He’s the only candidate I trust to keep my family and neighborhood safe. I hope you will join me in voting for Eric Severson for Waukesha County sheriff on Aug. 12.

“I think in academia we all agree that the temperature on Mars is exactly as it is here. ... Yet there are no coal mines on Mars. There are no factories on Mars that I am aware of.” Apparently Senator Smith is oblivious to the facts.

According to NASA, the average temperature of our planet is 57 degrees Fahrenheit and the average temperature on Mars is minus-81 degrees Fahrenheit. I guess we should all be used to such inaccurate nonsense.

What’s even more nonsensical is all that elephant dung being thrown at the president concerning the thousands of children from Central America surging our southern borders. (In my opinion these children are refuges fleeing some of the most dangerous countries in the Americas, dangerous thanks to our ravenous consumption of illegal drugs, not illegal immigrants).

Despite the fact that under President Obama security on our borders has been raised to levels never before seen in decades and under this administration deportation of illegals has reached record-breaking numbers, Republicans continue to blame the president.

I might add this fact: It was George W. Bush (not Barack Obama) who, in 2008, signed into law a policy to deal with unaccompanied children at our borders.

According to this law, children from Mexico or Canada were to be promptly deported, but unaccompanied minors from other countries were to be turned over to the Department of Health and Human services and temporarily housed until they were able to be processed for either deportation or, if they qualified, joined with family members already here.

This is what the president has tried to do. He has not broken the law, he has followed it. Republicans have bucked every attempt the president has made for immigration reform, which would have amended that law.

Allen has supported Republicans for years To the editor: I have spent the last several months working with Scott Allen as his campaign manager and I have learned quite a lot about his values, character and goals. As a faithful Christian man, he maintains a high level of integrity and loyalty from and to all with whom he associates.

They say you can tell a person by the company they keep. I think you can see some of the foundations of Scott Allen, District 97 candidate, by the connections he has kept and Republican campaigns he has contributed to over the years. He has put his money into the party he believes in, as well as local candidates he believes in. He has supported both local and state candidates, never wavering from his conviction in the Republican Party platform.

According to Allen’s documents, his contributions over the years include Brad Schimel for attorney general, Paul Farrow for state Senate, Adam Neylon for Assembly, Rob Hutton for Assembly, Kathy Karalewitz for Waukesha County clerk, Alberta Darling for state Senate, Mary Lazich for state Senate, and naturally, for president he contributed to Mitt Romney.

My personal favorite donation of his comes from 1997; Scott Allen supported and contributed to Scott Walker’s campaign when he was in the Assembly. I don’t know how Scott seemed to know where Scott Walker was going, but the fact that support has gone back that far has made a great impression on me. His loyalty, accountability and integrity run deep, not just in the last election cycle and not just to get himself elected.

I will vote for Scott Allen on Aug.12. There is no doubt about it. You should too.

Dow at 17,000 a paradox of 2 economies Dow 17,000.

Now do you feel rich? We didn’t think so.

Wall Street is booming, but Main Street isn’t. U.S. employers are hiring again, but the job market’s recovery is not giving ordinary consumers enough confidence to dramatically increase their spending. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, a traditional financial indicator, has more than doubled since the 2007-2008 financial meltdown. But how many small businesses can say that about their profits or employees about their paychecks?

The Dow index is particularly fickle.

Within days of pulling over 17,000 for the first time ever — a level reached in a rocket-like 153 trading days from 16,000 — the Dow has bounced around just below the 17,000 level.

Can there be clearer evidence that the U.S. economy has become at least two economies — the financial economy of Wall Street and the real economy of average Americans? Unfortunately, the highflying successes of the financial markets mask some fundamental weaknesses in the broader economy.

The U.S. Labor Department recently reported that employment grew in June, and the jobless rate closed in on a six-year low. Still, millions of Americans are looking for full-time work or are surviving on part-time jobs that pay considerably less than their former full-time job. Others simply have stopped looking. Not enough recent college graduates have found robust employment opportunities after shedding

caps and gowns — further proof that the U.S. economy really hasn’t fully rebounded from the catastrophic loss of more than 8.8 million jobs during the worst economic jolt since the Great Depression.

The depth of the recession and the subsequent slow-growth recovery only partly explain why unemployment is still at 6.1 percent. Occupations that used to offer steady middle-class lifestyles no longer exist, and too few Americans possess the skills to grab the lucrative new ones. When jobs and worker skills don’t match, economic downturns last longer and the recoveries produce fewer jobs at a slower pace.

A soaring Dow disguises but doesn’t solve these issues. Tax reform is long overdue. U.S. corporate tax rates are high relative to the rest of the world, and individual tax rates need to be made flatter and fairer.

While the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates extremely low, financial investors are benefiting more than salaried workers.

Yes, low rates allow consumers to buy more car or house for the buck, but history tells us that easy money can’t continue indefinitely without creating an asset bubble. If you drive or eat — all of us do at least one of these — by now you’ve noticed signs of modest inflation in the grocery store and at the gas pump.

Dow at 17,000 is a number worth noting, but it is only a chapter in a much bigger and more complex economic story.

In the 97th Assembly District the Republican candidates are gathering the endorsements that they hope will separate themselves from each other.

Wisconsin Right to Life, generally the gold standard of pro-life endorsements, endorsed all six of the Republicans running. Pro-Life Wisconsin, a more hardline organization, announced endorsements of Joe Banske and Brandon Rosner on their website. Vince Trovato announced he received their endorsement this week.

Getting the Pro-Life Wisconsin endorsement does not necessarily mean a candidate is more pro-life when it comes to legislation.

Sometimes it’s just a matter of tactics and priorities.

The National Rifle Association graded the candidates based upon a questionnaire. The NRA reported Rosner, Scott Allen and Trovato all earned the top rating of AQ. The AQ rating means that the candidates have stated that they support the same positions as the NRA, but they do not have a record in public office that can be measured.

City Alderman Aaron Perry received a Bminus grade from the NRA. When contacted, Perry explained that he supports background checks at private gun shows. Otherwise, he said, local gun owners have nothing to fear from him.

Banske received a C grade from the NRA. The organization says a C is not necessarily a passing grade. It’s given to someone “with a mixed record or positions on gun related issues, who may oppose some pro-gun positions or support some restrictive legislation.”

The NRA objected to Banske’s support for background checks at private gun shows and maintaining the 48-hour waiting period for a gun purchase even if instant background checks are available. Banske said he supports the background checks at gun shows as long as they’re still required at gun retailers.

Alderman Kathleen Cummings did not return a questionnaire, according to the NRA. Like your teachers in school, the NRA considers not turning in your homework to be worse than turning it in but having all the answers wrong. *** Fundraising reports will be out soon and all the candidates are doing their best to raise the cash to win. Since we last looked at the race, Banske and Cummings have amended their campaign registrations with the Government Accountability Board. The two candidates are no longer claiming exemptions from the state’s campaign finance reporting rules.

That means all six candidates are competing for campaign contributions. The campaign finance reports for contributions and expenditures through June 30 are due Monday.

(I’ve been teased by a couple of candidates to stop reminding the other candidates of the deadlines.)

I know some people will complain that there is too much emphasis on money in politics. Other people just don’t want to be bothered by the radio and television ads.

I personally sympathize with anyone that still has regular telephone service at their home. Turn the ringer off now and get Caller ID. The political campaign telephone barrage is about to start, and political campaigns are exempt from do-not-call lists.

However, with all of these candidates spending money and knocking on doors, voter turnout on Aug. 12 will still be miserably low. The only people likely to vote in the Republican primary are committed conservative voters. Somehow, some way, the candidates have to reach people and get them to the polls in the middle of summer vacations.

Yes, candidates with much less money than their opponents sometimes win. But they usually still raised enough to get their message heard, and they usually outworked their better-financed opponents on the campaign trail.

Since all of the candidates appear to be doing some door-to-door campaigning, it’s going to be especially important for a campaign to be able to raise its voice above all of the other noise.

By the end of the day Monday, we should be able to start to separate the candidates into competitive and non-competitive categories. The finance reports will be a better measure of the candidates’ capabilities than the number of yard signs you see.

Country, gators and carloads today at County Fair WAUKESHA — If you are planning to head to the Waukesha County Fair today, it might make sense to find a friend with a minivan and pile in before heading over.

Today is carload day at the fair, with admission reduced to $10 per car before 4 p.m. After 4 p.m., it will cost each adult $10 to get in.

Once on the fair grounds, the headlining act will have a country feel with Jerrod Niemann and Love and Theft taking to the Miller Lite Main Stage at 7:30 p.m.

The Swampmaster Gator Show also has two shows today, one at 4:30 p.m. and the other at 6:30 p.m. Expert handler Jeff Quattrocchi catches a 200-pound alligator with his bare hands and children have an opportunity to hold a baby alligator.

If you or your children are more into the rides, you can buy an unlimited ride wristband for $23 between 1 p.m. and 11 p.m.

There are also senior day events planned from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the air-conditioned 4-H Forum. There will be demonstrations, entertainment and more.

This is also Jake’s Deli’s first year on fair grounds. The deli, which has locations on North Avenue and inside Southridge Mall, offers mouth-watering, hand-cut corned

beef and reuben sliders.

While many vendors are new to the fair this year, there are many returning.

Kokopelli’s Pub and Grill is in it’s sixth year serving Waukesha fair-goers its signature stuffed burgers. The burgers are made with certified Angus beef, Wisconsin’s finest cheese and local ingredients.

The Kokopelli’s burger selection also includes the S&S Pizza Burger and the ‘Shari Baby’ Portabella and Swiss sandwich, which was named after a loyal customer.

2014 Fairest of the Fair Robyn Wittkopf.

Fairest From Page 1A “I’m a little sad to be ending my reign,” Heberling said. “But I had such an amazing year and am so happy to help carry on the tradition of the fair. I also know there will always be something for me to help out with.”

Wittkopf bested first-runner up Danielle DeCloux of Menomonee Falls and second runner-up Karli Hintz of Waukesha to receive the crown, which is awarded based on personality, community involvement, fair knowledge and more. Her roles as the fairest will include welcoming the public, interacting with the media, announcing events, judging and participating in various contests.

In January, Wittkopf will also represent Waukesha County at the three-day Wisconsin State Fairest of the Fairs Competition.

“The fair is my childhood,” Wittkopf said. “It has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I am so happy to just be a positive and fun role model.”

MADISON (AP) — The city of Madison is trying to identify a building that would help the federal government temporarily house unaccompanied minors who have entered the United States at the Mexican border.

The government is looking for 90,000 square feet of leasable space that’s immediately available and can provide adequate security.

The same call has gone out to other U.S. cities with populations of 200,000 or more and an airport.

There are 100 short-term shelters across the country, but federal officials are seeking larger spaces to join the three temporary facilities now open in Texas, California and Oklahoma.

Fox owns the 20th Century Fox movie studio, the Fox broadcast network and such TV channels as Fox News and FX.

attempts to address the recent surge in detention and processing of children and adults from Central America crossing the border in the Rio Grande Valley. Until recent years, the U.S. government had served about 7,500 unaccompanied children per year. More than 57,000 unaccompanied minors arrived at the border between October and the end of June. Most come from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

Mayor Paul Soglin said the city lacks a reserve of currently vacant buildings that meet federal stan-

dards.

“We’re still looking, but I’m getting more pessimistic as the days go by,” he said.

Madison wouldn’t be responsible for the facility and there appear to be no negatives, other than “being criticized by xenophobes,” Soglin said. The federal government would cover the costs of acquiring, renovating and running the building.

“This is an unprecedented event that requires unique approaches to temporarily house children until they can be discharged to a sponsor while awaiting judicial proceedings,” U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regional director Kathleen Falk said in a note to Soglin last week.

STATE NEWS CENTURIA

Boy’s car truck death ruled an accident CENTURIA (AP) — The death of a 2-year-old boy found in the trunk of a car on his family’s property in rural Centuria was ruled an accident after investigators determined he took his father’s keys and climbed into the vehicle, the Polk County district attorney said Wednesday.

No charges will be filed because there was no evidence of intent or recklessness.

The boy’s body was found last July in the trunk of a car on his family’s property in the northwestern part of the state, near the Minnesota border. The discovery was made by the car’s owner nearly 27 hours after Isaiah was last seen playing with his brother in their home.

The cause of death was probable hyperthermia.

Offender commitment can proceed without conviction MADISON (AP) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court says the state can keep trying to commit a man as a sexually violent offender even though his convictions have been reversed.

Joseph Spaeth was convicted of child enticement in 2009. The state filed a petition to commit him as a sexually violent offender in 2010.

The Supreme Court reversed his convictions in 2012. State attorneys argued commitment proceedings should continue because the petition was valid when they filed it.

The court ruled 4-3 on Wednesday that the proceedings can continue, agreeing the petition was valid when it began. But the court warned the state’s position is now weaker.

Judge gives group more time on probe records MADISON (AP) — A federal judge has given the Wisconsin Club for Growth three more weeks to work on an agreement over making public documents related to

St. Croix County sheriff’s officials say 34-year-old Amanda Day, of Osceola, struck a vehicle she was trying to pass on Highway 35 in Somerset Tuesday afternoon. That vehicle went spinning into the ditch.

Day’s vehicle then hit an oncoming car driven by 83year-old Goldie Culver, of Apple Valley, Minnesota.

Day died at the scene of the crash. Culver was taken by helicopter to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, where she later died.

The driver of the third vehicle was taken to a Stillwater, Minnesota hospital for treatment of his injuries.

The latest incident was Sunday, when the 9year-old boy and his 4-yearold nephew Authorities said previously that the boys were headed to a park but ended up in a ditch. Neither child was injured.

Iran nuke talks likely to be extended past July 20 VIENNA (AP) — Facing stubborn disputes on the terms of a deal, Iran and six world powers have tentatively decided to adjourn their nuclear talks two days early but plan to extend them past their planned July 20 end date, diplomats said Wednesday.

Both sides had been prepared to talk until Sunday, the informal deadline for the negotiations. But two diplomats have told The Associated Press the talks will probably wind down Friday, because the differences won’t be bridged by Sunday.

Still, the typhoon’s 93-mile wind and blinding 115-mph gusts, brought down trees, electric posts and ripped off roofs across the capital of 12 million people where government offices and schools were closed.

Polls show concern and worries about immigration issues

Teens From Page 1A Waukesha Police Lt. Tom Wagner said he expects Hoya and McKay to come through intake court today. Multiple charges were referred to the Waukesha County District Attorney’s Office including: multiple counts of burglary, attempted burglary, armed burglary, felon in use of oleoresin device (pepper spray) and felon in possession of a firearm.

According to a search warrant affidavit filed Wednesday in Waukesha County Circuit Court, multiple residents of the same neighborhood on and around Dana Lane reported overnight burglaries on July 9. One of the residents, the wife of a police officer, received an email from Apple’s “Find my iPhone” program that stated her stolen laptop was located in the 300 block of Douglas

Walker From Page 1A in the state and improving Wisconsin’s economy. But she has said she had nothing to do with Trek’s decision to create manufacturing jobs in China, though Burke still owns stock in the privately traded company.

“Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your fortune grow?” a grandmotherly looking woman in Walker’s ad says as she reads a nighttime story showing images of Burke holding bags with dollar signs on them. “By making millions of dollars sending jobs overseas that could have been done in Wisconsin.”

Burke worked as the head of Trek’s European division from 1991 to 1993. During that time, Burke says she grew sales from $3 million to $50 million. She also worked for Trek from 1995 until 2004, with her most recent job being director of planning and strategic planning.

In 2004, shortly before she left, Trek outsourced 80 employees from its Whitewater facility to Waterloo and to a manufacturing plant in China. In 2012, up to 20 former Trek employees in Waterloo were laid off. The U.S. Labor Department last year determined they were eligible for federal assistance because they lost their jobs due to foreign trade.

“How can the voters trust someone like Mary Burke to help them create jobs when her own company shipped Wisconsin jobs overseas?”

Walker campaign spokesman Tom Evenson said.

Avenue.

The affidavit states police began conducting surveillance of Lilteich’s residence and noticed two trash bags on the curb at 2:15 a.m. Monday. Inside, police found smashed iPads, iPods and tennis shoes. The affidavit also states Lilteich is “wellknown by the Waukesha Police Department” for being involved in thefts and burglaries in the past, including in January of this year.

Police traced the serial numbers of the iPads and iPods and identified some of them as belonging to residents of Dana Drive, and one of them as being stolen from a Town of Brookfield residence on June 25, according to the affidavit.

When police executed the search warrant of Lilteich’s residence, they found multiple iPads, a backpack full of recovered electronics and a firearm, multiple laptops, a

tactical rifle, gun cleaning tools, a fishing pole, a $50 gift card, several digital cameras and more, according to the affidavit.

Lilteich’s Facebook says he works at Culver’s, and McKay and Hoya’s Facebook pages say they are students at Waukesha South High School.

Wagner said he’s glad to have some suspects in custody, especially with the potential for violence that comes with criminals entering occupied homes, but residents still shouldn’t get too comfortable.

“While the Waukesha Police Department and the citizens of Waukesha are relieved that these three suspects are in custody, it is important for people to continue to be vigilant, lock their doors, and report any suspicious activity,” Wagner said in a press release.

Burke frequently notes that Trek employs nearly 1,000 people in Wisconsin, its payroll doubled over the last 20 years and it infuses almost $100 million into the state’s economy every year.

Trek spokeswoman Marina Marich said the company was ‘‘dismayed by the Walker campaign’s decision to attack it in its latest political ad.’’

“Only last year the administration featured Trek as an exemplary company doing business in Wisconsin,” Marich said.

Before Burke got into the race, the state’s Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation picked Trek as one of five companies to highlight as part of a yearlong marketing campaign to

encourage other businesses to move or expand in the state. After Burke got into the race, WEDC began phasing out the Trek ads.

Walker created WEDC, a semi-private agency, to replace the Commerce Department which Burke had led for nearly three years between 2005 and 2007.

The new Walker ad also comes on the heels of news that WEDC approved millions of dollars in tax breaks to Eaton Corp. and Plexus Corp., two companies which later outsourced jobs in Wisconsin to foreign countries. Burke has criticized those companies getting tax breaks, which caused Walker’s campaign to say Burke was being hypocritical.

WASHINGTON, D.C.

U.S. escalating sanctions against Russia in response to crisis in Ukraine WASHINGTON D.C. (AP) — The United States imposed new sanctions Wednesday on lucrative Russian energy and defense entities, as well as major banks, as the Obama administration struggles for a way to quell an insurgency in eastern Ukraine widely believed to be backed by Moscow.

The penalties significantly expand on previous U.S. sanctions, which hit Russian individuals and companies with travel bans and asset freezes. But the new

UKRAINE

Urban warfare feared in Ukraine as insurgents hunker down in cities KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Insurgents bade tearful farewells Wednesday as they loaded their families onto Russia-bound buses and began hunkering down for what could be the next phase in Ukraine’s conflict: bloody urban warfare.

While the pro-Russian rebels in the east have lost much ground in recent weeks and were driven from their stronghold of Slovyansk, many have regrouped in Donetsk, an industrial city that had a population of 1 million before tens of thousands by some estimates fled in recent weeks for fear of a government siege. The rebels also hold the city of Luhansk.

Despite the government’s desire to minimize civilian casualties, Ukraine’s forces could find themselves dragged into grueling warfare inside the cities in their battle to hold the country together.

Democrats reach for political advantage with women in birth control setback WASHINGTON D.C. (AP) — Senate Democrats suffered what looked like a difficult setback on birth control Wednesday, but they hope it pays big political dividends in November.

Republicans blocked a bill that was designed to override a Supreme Court ruling and ensure access to contraception for women who get their health insurance from companies with religious objections. The vote was 56-43 to move ahead on the legislation — dubbed the “Not My Boss’ Business Act” by proponents — four short of the 60 necessary to proceed.

But Democrats hope the issue has enough life to energize female voters in the fall, when Republicans are threatening to take control of the Senate.

GOP senators said Wednesday’s vote was simply a stunt, political messaging designed to boost vulnerable Democratic incumbents. The GOP needs to gain six seats to seize control.

“Democrats are just trying to win an election,” Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said bluntly.

LOS ANGELES (MCT) — One of six Americans say that immigration issues now rank as the nation’s most pressing problem, a tripling in just one month, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday.

That jump-from 5 percent last month to 17 percent appears striking, but perhaps just as surprising is that the poll shows that, despite the large volume of publicity over the border situation, the overwhelming majority of Americans say they are focusing more on other problems, including dissatisfaction with government and economic issues.

Perhaps less surprising is that two other polls, by the Pew Research Center and for the Washington PostABC News, give President Barack Obama low marks for how he handled the crisis at the border. Congressional Republicans fare even worse.

The fights over immigration issues have turned the last few months into a seemingly never-ending season of discontent.

sanctions stop short of fully cutting off key Russian economic sectors, a step U.S. officials said they were continuing to hold in reserve in case Moscow launches a full-scale invasion of Ukraine or takes similarly provocative actions.

Obama was expected to speak about the sanctions from the White House Wednesday afternoon.

The Treasury Department sanctions target two major Russian energy firms, Novatek and Rosneft, and a pair of leading Russian financial institutions, Gazprombank and VEB. The sanctions restrict the entities’ ability to access U.S. capital markets, officials said.

Offbeat Headline from TheOnion.com: “NFL releases new study on dangers of concussions in youth soccer.”

Viewpoint “The American League went on to win the game 5-3, which earned the A.L. home-field advantage in the World Series.

“And the team with homefield advantage has won the last five World Series and 16 of the last 20, including, of course, the Giants in 2010 and 2012.

“The Giants did not have home-field advantage in 2002, when the Angels won Games 6 and 7 at Anaheim Stadium to win the title, you might remember.

“Home-field advantage isn’t the most important thing in the World Series, but it is some important thing.

“After long playoff journeys, playing the first two games of the World Series at home is significant.

“Which should not be affected by the whims and mercies of players in July, just putting on a show, as they should.

“So when Adam Wainwright at first admitted he eased the fastball to give Derek Jeter a better shot at a hit in his final All-Star appearance (Wainwright later backpedaled), that had all kinds of potential October repercussions.

“For instance: What if Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals win the National League pennant?

“His nice gesture to Jeter would, in part, lead to St. Louis having to play the first two World Series games in hostile territory ... and also potentially Game 7, if it goes that long.

“Home-field advantage in the World Series should be awarded to the league that wins the most games in interleague play. If you’re going to have interleague play, why not use it to decide home-field advantage for the ultimate interleague series?”

Favre too tough to worry about boos Dear Brett Favre, Stop acting like a baby.

I’m referring to the announcement by Packers President Mark Murphy that there will be no No. 4 retirement this season because of concern about fans who might boo during the ceremony.

“I don’t anticipate having him retire a number this season, in a game this year.

We have very good relations, and very good communication, but I don’t anticipate that this year. “(The booing) is an issue.

He doesn’t want it, and neither do we. He wouldn’t want to come back and get booed. You can’t control 80,750 people (but) I really think as time goes on, every year Favre that passes, it’s less likely that he would get booed — but that is an issue.”

His comments imply that you are worried about the booing.

Seriously?

You are the greatest warrior in the history of the NFL, and you are worried about a few Packers fans booing during the ceremony?

You are the toughest player in the history of the toughest game, and you don’t want to be honored because a few fans might boo?

It’s not possible.

But if it is possible, let me pass along some additional information.

If you are concerned that some fans are still upset with you, then you must understand that those fans

STEVE THE HOMER TRUE will never forgive you. If they are still mad now, they clearly refuse to move on from the past and it makes no sense to think that they will change in the next year.

So, 2015 would also be out of consideration.

In fact, if they are so bitter that they refuse to recognize your incredible contributions to the Packers, it’s doubtful that they will ever change. Thus, a retirement ceremony without booing will never be possible.

If you want a private ceremony, that’s fine. You have earned whatever you wish.

I would like to suggest the normal halftime public ceremony at the game of your choice THIS SEASON. It’s the only way you can fully appreciate the love that Packers fans have for your Hall of Fame play as quarterback of the team.

You will cry. I guarantee it.

You will cry because you will hear the phenomenal standing ovation from the fans at halftime. If it’s followed by boos, it will come from a small group of fans.

Even if it’s more than a small group, it won’t matter.

You will then hear the rest of the crowd give an even greater standing ovation that will be so loud that the isolated boos will not be heard. And if the boo birds want to continue, they will be crushed and drowned out again.

You need to hear it all. You

NBA

Balance makes championship chase tougher Talent spread throughout the league

By Tim Reynolds The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Patrick Ewing sees the parallels between then and now.

For 13 straight seasons, Ewing averaged at least 20 points. He was a superstar, the toast of New York, the city’s biggest star when he was the face of the Knicks’ franchise.

During the stretch when Ewing was at his peak, his combination of points, rebounds and blocked shots made him unquestionably one of the game’s elite.

‘‘When I played, it was mostly one superstar per team,’’ Ewing said.

And that, in the end, was a problem for Ewing. For as good as he was — not to mention the likes of Charles Barkley, Dominique Wilkins, George Gervin and many others — his enormous talent never carried him to an NBA championship.

He sees the league heading back that way now. When LeBron James left Miami last week for a return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the power structure of the league shifted as well. And while there’s obviously a team loaded with future Hall of Famers in San Antonio, and plenty of teams with two players worthy of at least superstar argument, there’s nothing now that can

Brewers exec joins Bucks’ ownership group MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brewers executive Teddy Werner is among a group of Milwaukee business leaders who have joined the Bucks’ new ownership group.

The Bucks announced Wednesday that Werner and several other people had been cleared by the NBA Board of Governors to become a part of the ownership structure headed by Wesley Edens and Marc Lasry.

Werner is the vice president of business development for Milwaukee’s baseball team.

Edens and Lasry, both New York investment firm executives, recently purchased the team from former U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl for about $550 million. Edens says in a release that they had felt all along that part of the rebuilding process for the Bucks ‘‘would be dependent on having important leaders from Milwaukee join the ownership of the organization.’’

mirror what the Heat had when James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were teammates.

James’ latest decision also gives Cleveland a better chance to win a title.

But like Ewing, Barkley and plenty of others know, a more-balanced playing field across the NBA means many other teams figure to have a better chance as well. ‘‘There’s a lot of money being given today and there’s a lot of teams with more great players than there were in the past,’’ said Paul Silas, James’ first coach in Cleveland. ‘‘I like seeing that. I really like to see the teams fight against each other and having more than one have a chance to win the whole thing.’’

Welcome to the new NBA. Or, rather, the updated

NBA. Sure, 16 teams go to the playoffs, but really, how many were legitimate title contenders last season? The entire season a year ago seemed like Indiana and Miami were preordained to meet in the Eastern Conference finals — and that’s exactly what happened.

James changes sides, a few other moves get made, and now there’s probably a halfdozen teams in the East alone thinking they’ll be good enough to be one of the last two teams standing next June.

Ask NBA executives, many of whom aren’t upset to see Miami’s stranglehold as East favorites come to an end, and they say it’s all a good thing for the game. ‘‘Much more competitive this year,’’ Knicks President

Phil Jackson said. ‘‘The East last year, I thought until the very end when the Knicks made a run, Toronto got going, Washington got going, there were a lot of teams languishing under or around .500. But I think this year, more talent’s spread around the East and I think it’s going to be very competitive.’’

The comparison might be what happened 20 years ago.

Chicago was playing without Michael Jordan, who was beginning his retirement to play baseball, so the Bulls’ three-year run as NBA champions was widely expected to end. San Antonio’s David Robinson and Orlando’s Shaquille O’Neal were the league’s best two scorers that season, and neither made it out of the first round of the playoffs.

Ewing and the Knicks found their way past the Bulls — still plenty good with Scottie Pippen — and into the NBA Finals, where the MVP that season, Hakeem Olajuwon, was waiting.

The Rockets were deeper.

They won in seven games, denying Ewing what was his best chance at that ring.

The lesson: Even superstars know the best team probably gets it done.

And in the East right now, who that best team is obviously up for much debate. ‘‘Teams have the ability to have two (superstars) now,’’ Ewing said. ‘‘We don’t know what the collective bargaining agreement is going to be, with the new TV money coming in, what’s going to happen. We’ll see what happens.’’

Jorgensen From Page 1B 2012, when a flat tire relegated her to a 38th-place finish in her Olympic triathlon debut in London, England.

She had rapidly gained worldwide prominence in the sport after taking it up only two years earlier.

“I finished well back from where I had hoped,” Jorgensen said. “I remember sprinting to the Olympic finish line for 38th place. When I crossed the line, I had one thought in mind: ‘How can I win Gold in Rio?’” Jorgensen didn’t let that thought become a mere whim.

“I spent the rest of the season researching and looking for ways to improve,” she said. “I interviewed a few coaches and spent some time with the Wollongong Wizards (an Australia-based cycling organization) and Jamie Turner. I loved the atmosphere Jamie created with the group. He had a daily training environment of athletes who were all focused on the same thing.

“It was a high-performance group where everyone gets along and pushes each other. I saw it was breeding success and wanted to be a part of it. Thankfully, Jamie agreed to take me on and I am now a Wollongong Wizard. I train in a daily training environment with my peers and competitors.

Being in a daily training environment raises the bar for what it takes to be successful on the world stage.”

Jorgensen once shared a story about the disdain she had for biking when she was a youngster.

She developed a passion and proficiency, however, for competitive swimming and soon became a standout distance runner at Waukesha South High School and the University of Wisconsin.

She is grateful for the foundation her local sports experiences provided.

“I swam for the Waukesha Express swim team from age 8,” Jorgensen said. “I loved every minute of it! Swimming was not only my passion, but my life. I learned the hard way that sport should not be your life.

Every race result or practice dictated my mood. It took me a long time to learn that this was not healthy. Thankfully, my parents and sister were always supportive of me and helped me through.

“When I was in college, I had an unbelievable Big Ten indoor meet. I won the 3,000and 5,000-meter runs in two PRs and was going into the NCAAs as a favorite. I had never dealt with the pressure of success before and did not handle it well. I ended up get-

Waukesha native Gwen Jorgensen crosses the finish line in winning the International Triathlon Union World Triathlon Series event in Chicago on June 28. ting last in both races, running almost a minute slower then the next fastest person in the 5,000. It was not pretty.

“I have been through a lot and learned a lot through the years growing up in Wisconsin. I am still learning, but also take the experiences I have learned growing up to try to become a better athlete.”

Jorgensen earned a spot on the United States Olympic women’s triathlon team just two years after taking up the sport, which at the Olympic level consists of a 1.5-kilometer (0.93-mile) swim, a 40K (25-mile) bike and a 10K (6.2mile) run.

She has broken down those elements like a science.

“I like to focus on the process of whatever I’m doing,” she said. “When I’m swimming, I focus on technique.

When I’m biking, I focus on good position. And when running, I focus on cadence.

“I don’t think too much about time splits or where I am in the race. I put everything out on the course and hope to finish the day knowing I did everything I could to produce the best result on that day. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t.”

Though Jorgensen’s first Olympic triathlon ended in disappointment because of a

mechanical issue, she treasures her overall experience in London.

“I went to the Olympics and had an amazing experience,” Jorgensen said. “The way athletes from different nations, sports and backgrounds came together was awe-inspiring. It gave me so much hope and inspiration. I had had some success before the Olympics, but was still inconsistent and things needed to play in my favor in order for me to do well.”

Jorgensen became the first American IYU World Triathlon Series race champion when she won the 2013 Omegawave World Triathlon in San Diego, Calif. She proceeded to capture ITU WTS titles in Yokohama, Japan (twice), Stockholm, Sweden; and Mooloolaba, Australia, before arriving last month in Chicago, where she was amazed at the attention she received.

One particular group of fans from Oklahoma showed up with a large poster featuring a picture of Jorgensen’s head.

“These fans had been tweeting,” Jorgensen said. “I knew they were coming as they told me I’d better win because they were driving over 900 miles to watch me

win. No pressure! I couldn’t believe how big of a fan base was there.”

Jorgensen’s coach enlisted several members of her support crew to serve as her “bodyguards” in the intense environment.

“Before the race — and after — I would walk down the street and because there were triathlon fans and spectators, people would recognize me,” Jorgensen said. “I would be stopped for pictures, autographs and words of encouragement. It was a unique experience.

“I’m no one special; just a regular girl who grew up with great parents (Nancy and Joel) and a fun-loving, supportive sister (Elizabeth).

It was strange to me that others wanted to meet me. However, once I start talking to fans and supporters, they tell me stories about how I’ve inspired them to do their first triathlon or to give a little more effort.”

Jorgensen doesn’t take such stories lightly.

“I hope I can be a good role model and help others achieve their goals,” she said. “Life is tough, and it doesn’t always go to plan.

Having motivation is key, and I hope I can be a little part of someone else’s moti-

vation.”

The Chicago event gave several Jorgensen family members and friends the opportunity to see Gwen compete in-person for the first time.

“My dad comes from a big family,” Jorgensen said. “He has nine brothers and sisters. Seven of them came to watch the race and only one had seen me race live before.

It was amazing to see so many family and friends. If only there was more time in the day to catch up with them all.”

Jorgensen overcame some tenuous moments as the Chicago triathlon unfolded.

It began with a two-lap, 1,500-meter swim in Lake Michigan.

Jorgensen, while attempting to sight the first buoy in choppy water, took in a big breath of water and began to choke. After a few desperate moments, she caught her breath, finished the swim and began a long transition run.

“My legs were tingly and numb from the cold water,” Jorgensen said.

“They wouldn’t turn over as quickly as I had hoped. Thankfully the run to transition helped warm up my body and I was ready to start the bike leg.”

Jorgensen wasn’t able to catch the front pack during the bike leg and knew she needed a strong run in order to medal. She responded, catching and passing Great Britain’s Helen Jenkins and Japan’s Juri Ide with about 2K remaining. She sped to a 20-second victory over Jenkins.

“Running down the blue carpet, I had a million things running through my head: ‘Is this really going to happen? Am I really going to win?’” Jorgensen recalled.

“Crossing the finish line was a relief. I had no idea how the pressure I had put on myself would affect my race. The experience is something I want to take with me as I progress to bigger races.”

Jorgensen’s itinerary includes races in Stockholm, Sweden; and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, during August. She will marry professional cyclist Patrick Lemieux in Cable, a town in northern Wisconsin, on Oct. 4, then continue her quest for Olympic gold.

She appreciates the growing number of individuals who are supporting her quest.

“I am overwhelmed with how many people are able to share in my success, and I feel truly honored when I hear stories about how I’ve inspired someone to do a triathlon or give that little bit of extra energy in a race,” she said. “It is one of the many reasons why I love this sport so much.”

ESPYS

Durant, Rousey earn top athlete honors

By Beth Harris The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Kevin Durant won two ESPY Awards, including male athlete of the year, and mixed martial arts star Ronda Rousey earned female athlete honors, becoming the first UFC fighter to claim a trophy in the biggest category at the show honoring the year’s best performances Wednesday night.

Durant also won best NBA player, ending LeBron James’ two-year reign in both categories. ‘‘Everybody helped me out along the way,’’ the Oklahoma City Thunder star said. ‘‘My beautiful mom watching at home who couldn’t be here. My favorite teammate, Russell Westbrook.’’

Durant beat out fellow male athlete nominees Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers, Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos and boxer Floyd Mayweather during the show hosted

by rapper Drake at the Nokia Theatre.

Rousey, the first female UFC champion, won over WNBA star Maya Moore, Olympic champion skier Mikaela Shiffrin and Brenna Stewart of national champion Connecticut.

The winners in most categories were determined by fan voting.

Rousey didn’t attend, with presenter Chrissy Teigen saying the fighter had surgery a day earlier.

Manning didn’t go home emptyhanded. He collected two trophies: best NFL player and record-breaking performance. Manning won his fifth MVP award last season, when he set single-season records by passing for 55 touchdowns and more than 5,500 yards.

The Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks won best team. Their AllPro cornerback, Richard Sherman, won breakthrough athlete.

The best game was the Iron Bowl matchup between No. 1 Alabama

and No. 4 Auburn, with the Tigers winning 34-28 on the final play to spoil the Tide’s BCS hopes.

Led by goalie Tim Howard, the U.S. men’s soccer team won best moment for its run to the round of 16 in the World Cup. Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal won best international athlete.

Drake zinged Howard and Sherman in his opening monologue. The rapper joked about banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling, saying, ‘‘We’re a few hundred yards from Staples Center, which is as close as Donald Sterling is allowed to get.’’

Clippers star Blake Griffin laughed until the camera caught him and he acted serious, drawing laughs. Griffin and Drake teamed up for a funny pretaped bit in which they pretended to be each other while spewing insults, with rapper Chris Brown joining in.

Brown, who has been in and out of jail, jokingly introduced himself as ‘‘America’s sweetheart.’’

James wasn’t on hand, but Drake noted the superstar’s recent decision to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers after winning two NBA titles in Miami. ‘‘You know what 40 million gets you in Miami? A really nice house,’’ Drake said. ‘‘You know what 40 million gets you in Cleveland? Cleveland, you get the whole thing.’’

Drake mixed in song, too. He crooned ‘‘Honorable Mention,’’ a tune he said was dedicated to the runner-ups, including Triple Crown loser California Chrome and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick.

Lil’ Wayne cracked up as Drake sang ‘‘Side Pieces,’’ full of references to the on-the-road cheating that goes on in sports. Drake noted a lot of men in the audience wanted the song to be over.

Drake revisited Sterling with a rap accompanied by video of the Clippers owner saying he isn’t a racist. The screen displayed the hashtag of Sterlingneverlovedus.

Lakers From Page 1B starter.”

Nate Stolte and Ben Versnik were even more effective, not allowing a base runner in their combined three innings. Stolte induced three consecutive ground balls to close out the seventh innings and struck out the side in the eight — all looking. Versnik struck out the side in the ninth, showing major power.

“Versnik pitched in the minors, so it’s really actually an honor to pitch in front of him because he teaches me as we go on,” Serio said.

“And Stolte is coming with me (to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside), and I kind of help him out — so it’s kind of a cool thing.”

Shortstop Nick Kelly went 3-4 including a two-run double, a run scored and a stolen base. He also showed some flashes on defense. “(Kelly) was excellent,” Vlaj said. “(He’s) been steady for us. (He) keeps his head down, he knows his zone, he doesn’t chase pitches, he waits for strikes and he’s been swinging a hot bat for us. And he did it again tonight.”

New Berlin did commit three errors, which Vlaj says is uncharacteristic of his team. Serio said the errors didn’t affect him on the mound, and none of the errors led to a run. Strikeouts from Serio or solid defense helped erase each mishap.

Racine took the lead in the second inning when Serio walked a batter and gave up a two-out double.

But New Berlin responded in the third. Third baseman Tyler Magyar scored on left fielder AJ Kaprelian’s single, and Kelly scored on catcher Jake Kolasinski’s sacrifice fly.

New Berlin extended its lead in the fourth after Hegeman scored on an error and Kelly doubled in Magyar and center fielder Zach Kolasinski.

Second baseman Adam Vlaj knocked in the final run in the fifth, scoring left fielder Nick Satiros.

Paul Vlaj credits his team’s pitching and defense for the Lakers’ hot summer, but he said his team just has great chemistry.

“It’s a nice team,” Paul Vlaj said. These guys have fun playing ball, they know the game, they know each other, they play well together. It’s easy for me to coach these guys so far. They keep positive.

“It’s been a fun season so far, I hope they keep it up.”

Homer From Page 1B need to know that those who appreciate your play with Green Bay are every bit as emotional and passionate as the few Favre haters. It will be even better than a crowd with no boos. You can only hear and feel that special appreciation following the boos.

You have never played it safe your entire career. You need to have the same confidence in the Packers fans that you had in yourself. It’s Green Bay. It’s not Chicago.

It’s not Philadelphia.

It’s the Green Bay Packers.

Trust Green Bay. Trust the Packers. Trust the Packers Fans. THIS SEASON. P.S. Tell Mark Murphy that you might not be able to control 80,750 people, but you can believe in 80,750 Packers fans.

There’s always time to go up north Ask anyone who has kids in traveling baseball and you’ll quickly find out that time for hunting, fishing and camping is severely eaten.

We love sports and are glad our kids are into them rather than melting their brain on some type of electronic box, but the fact is sports today can be taken to the extreme.

And if a family wants to expose their kids to something other than the stick and ball, they have to take a stand.

We did so over the Fourth of July by skipping a baseball game or two and packing up the boat and heading to Rhinelander with several family members. We went with my in-laws, Ken and Suz Biwer of Waukesha, along with my brother- and sister-in-law’s family from Mukwonago consisting of Glenn and Dana Lazich and their kids Grayson, Macie and Autumn.

Time is precious that is not spent on the baseball or football field, so we had to choose a place wisely. Sure, we could have saved our pennies and went to some swanky place up in Door County, but honestly there are too many Illinois plates up there for my liking — and one can only see so many shops devoted to coffee, cherry salsa and antiques.

Besides that, I’d rather catch my own fish rather than have someone boil it for me, amidst Chicago Bears hats and jerseys.

We chose a place that Ken and Suz had been frequenting for well over a decade: an old but well-kept resort in Rhinelander.

“We just like it up here,” Ken said. “It’s not overly fancy, but the people are friendly, they’ve got a great

DAN DURBIN Friday night buffet and it’s not too crowded.”

Ah, perfect. NOT TOO CROWDED. The last thing I wanted was a crowd.

If a person could draw a picture in their mind, this was an “Up North” resort.

There was probably a little more paneling than there needed to be. There were shuffleboard areas. Tennis courts were fenced in by big wooden pillars. There were pasty white Wisconsin folk sun burning by the droves.

Everyone knew how to make an Old Fashion.

My wife, very thorough and clearly “mission control” in the Durbin family, made sure we had everything we needed and then some: corn hole for interfamily tournaments, Frisbee, footballs, camp stoves and more. Of course, all the clothes were packed and ready for us men, because if that was left in our hands we’d surely miss several items of necessity.

When you are up north, you eat — often, with no real gauge on keeping your carbintake low, or your water consumption high.

You just consume. Frequently.

I smoked seven pounds of from-scratch pork shoulder, Ken and Suz brought the steaks and the Lazich family whipped up a Mexican feast you woudn’t expect to find so far north.

We cooked it all outside like hillbillies in a common area off the hotel rooms we

Time spent in the northern part of Wisconsin can offer an escape from the every day grind. were staying in. Did we perhaps look a little tacky? Yes. Did we care? No. It’s just how we do it when you are up north.

Being the outdoorsman, I was in charge of the fishing and boating. I would shuttle kids and parents out for mini-excursions during the day. The key, I found with the younger kids in our group, was keeping the trips short and action-packed. Sure, I saw some great cabbage weeds I was dying to cast to for gamefish, but I restrained myself and instead took the kids over to some shallow weeds where I knew they could catch some panfish.

We didn’t kill them, but there was enough action to get a “Thanks, Uncle Dan, that was awesome.”

That was worth the price

of admission.

On a side note, this was my first year switching to a four-stoke outboard and I could positively tell that the 115 horses on my boat were a bit more sluggish than when they were of the two-stroke variety. BIG difference in hull-shot, but the engine was smooth and quiet for putting around the lake. At full speed, the noise level was similar between the two models, but for pleasure cruising the four-stoke won easy.

You could even hear the loons while at idle.

I didn’t mean to get off track, but I get asked about the two- and four-stoke debate all the time.

By the end of the trip we were well-rested, although the four-hour drive with the kids on the way home

bumped up the blood pressure level a few points.

We’re actually lucky in that our coaches don’t have a fit and bench our kids if they miss a game. Maybe that’s why, when we got home and finished unpacking, the first thing the kids did was round up a game of baseball.

Today’s sports are more demanding on time than ever before (and more expensive, too), but parents just need to take a stand and make sure there is some time for vacations, too.

I guess it’s all about balance.

Regatta to hit Okauchee Class X event Saturday and Sunday OKAUCHEE — More than 50 sailboats will visit Okauchee Lake to take part in the Class X Wisconsin Yachting Association Regatta on Saturday and Sunday.

Class X boats, sometimes called the “Cub Boat,” are sailed by adolescents ages 8 through 16 with a skipper and a crew.

“We are expecting over 100 adolescents and a similar amount of parents for the event,” Regatta chairman Susan Kay said.

The event’s co-hosts are Tricia Sazama and Jeanne Andreski.

Check-in and registration will begin at 3 p.m.

Friday at the Okauchee

Lake Yacht Club on Breezy Point Road. There will be a competitor briefing at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at OLYC, with the first race expected to commence at 10 a.m.

The planned race format is for four races, with the goal of having three Saturday.

The event is open to all youth members of the WYA. Lunches will be provided at OLYC clubhouse.

Spectator boats will be available for those who would like to watch the event. Kay and her cochairs have been planning this event for the past several months and will have approximately 35 club volunteers and eight race committee members working this event to make it successful for youth sailing.

Registration forms for the event may be obtained online at olyc.org or by contacting Kay at 262-569-

5993.

The Wisconsin Yachting Association consists of several area lakes including Okauchee Lake, Lac LaBelle, Nagawicki Lake, Pewaukee Lake, Beaver Lake, North Lake and Oconomowoc Lake. The WYA voted to add Pine Lake for 2014.

The OLYC has a rich tradition of sponsoring local sailing and regattas since 1936.

It is a non-profit entity with a clubhouse facility for social functions and a boat ramp for members’ use. The club sponsors a sailing school that provides youth and adult lessons. for details, visit olyc.org.

Talented duo spearheads ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ Lake Country Players stage top-flight show

By Julie McHale TimeOut Theater Critic

WAUKESHA — If you enjoyed “Legally Blonde” last summer starring Shannon Straka and Bryan Noll, get ready for an even more amazing performance by this talented duo in the Lake Country Players’ gritty production of “Bonnie & Clyde, The Musical” a much darker, more moving musical.

Bonnie and Clyde, a notorious pair of lovers-criminals, wreaked havoc in the height of the Great Depression from 1932 to 1934.

Clyde always had it in his head to be as famous as Jessie James or Al Capone.

Bonnie wanted to be a movie star, a model, a poet and a singer. This ill-fated couple met up at the diner where Bonnie worked, and they fell for each other instantly, despite the fact that Clyde was a hunted man, just having escaped from jail, along with his brother Buck. The person whom one falls in love with has always been rather random, an unsolved mystery, and that theme plays out in this story and is celebrated in the lovely lyric, “You Love Who You Love.”

Despite the violence perpetrated in this story, a hearty dose of love is also evident. Both Bonnie and Clyde had a strong sense of

family and often risked their lives to pay a visit to parents. The scene between Bonnie and her mother, played by Tammy Vrba, was harrowing. This scene moved me to tears.

Two newcomers to the Lake Country stage are Matthew Northey and Jesse Lee, both of whom addressed their respective roles as Buck, Clyde’s brother, and Ted, the sheriff who was also in love with Bonnie, with power and credibility.

Northey’s number with Noll, “When I Drive,” was terrific. Lee rendered his solo, “You Can Do Better Than Him” with soulful sincerity.

All of the musical numbers were good, thanks to the sensitive direction of the ubiquitous Catherine Pfeiler, but the voice to knock an audience right out of their seats belonged to Ben Tajnai, who plays the rousing preacher who delivers the impressive “God’s Arms Are Always Open” with strength and fervor. What a treat to hear him again.

A parallel love between Buck and Blanche is also featured in the show.

Blanche lets her love lead to her destruction as she follows Buck in his attempt to help Clyde. Jaime Nyland does a good job at delivering “That’s What

It’s hard to rave enough about this production. It moved smoothly, thanks to the quick scene changes engineered by stage manager James Sevens, the variety of emotions are authentically portrayed, the costumes by Heather

Patterson are well chosen, the use of videos and sound effects is effective, the set design by Nate C. Groonwald ominous, and the overall result, beyond amazing.

‘Fire & Rescue’ too much like ‘Planes

By Tom Jozwik WAUKSHA — Enough, already, of the “Planes” franchise.

The second installment, “Planes: Fire & Rescue,” isn’t bad and certainly isn’t offensive (It duplicates the original’s PG rating). But it’s nowhere near outstanding and it fails to break new ground.

The same evaluation could’ve been applied to the series opener, simply called “Planes,” which nearly a year ago also garnered 2 1/2 stars from this reviewer.

Talk about déjà vu all over again.

Indeed, the sequel is similar enough to the original.

There are anthropomorphic cars, trucks, RVs, helicopters and, of course, airplanes that fly through the air with the greatest of ease. Plus, there are the

One wonders if it should’ve been made.

“Fire & Rescue” is approximately 10 minutes shorter than “Planes,” but that fact didn’t exactly keep

filmgoers glued to their seats during a preview screening Monday night.

“Fire & Rescue” is a Disney movie and its artists have done a fine job replicating canyons, conflagrations and the like while skillfully humanizing pro-

tagonist Dusty Crophopper and his fellow nonhuman characters. In the end, though, this 3-D effort just can’t hold a candle to the best in the computer-animated genre over recent months (“Frozen” and “The Lego Movie”). No doubt that has something to do with “Fire & Rescue’s” too

often frenetic pacing (after a rather sluggish start) and too-seldom-clever dialogue (“Ladies and gentle planes”; “Life doesn’t always go the way you expected”).

This time around, with Roberts Gannaway replacing Klay Hall as director, Dusty (voiced again by Dane Cook) is forced into premature retirement from racing due to a damaged gear box; because it is outmoded, the box is deemed impossible to replace.

Dusty turns to aerial firefighting, a method that, in fact, retooled cropduster planes reportedly pioneered in the mid-1950s.

Dusty is fearful at first, and obviously has a lot to learn (his mentor is the helicopter Blade Ranger, voiced by Ed Harris), but

well, let’s just say the plot proceeds along lines akin to last year’s “Planes.” Even musical score selection titles ring familiar; while “Planes” had “Running on Fumes,” “Dusty Has to Ditch” and “Skipper to the Rescue,” the sequel gives us “Lightning Storm Fire,” “Dusty Crash Lands” and “Saving Dusty.” For the record, Mark Mancina scored both movies.

An onscreen legend at the outset of “Fire & Rescue” indicates that the film is dedicated to the world’s firefighters. A vocational group deserving of such an accolade, certainly, and yet an insufficient reason for turning out an animated movie sequel. Especially since a documentary would’ve better commemorated the profession’s actual heroes and the real people they serve.

State artists to converge on Richfield for annual show

By Nicole Kiefert Special to TimeOut

RICHFIELD — Artists from all across Wisconsin will bring art ranging from canvas bags and paintings to sculptures July 26 to raise funds to restore the Messer/Mayer Mill in Richfield Park.

The Richfield Historical Society is putting on its sixth annual Richfield Art at the Mill and Plein Air

Painting event. The show features more than 70 artists.

“They’re coming all the way. I’ve got some from Appleton, Burlington, Sun Prairie, Neenah, but a majority are coming from the southeastern part of the state,” said Lois Hessenauer, historical society volunteer and event chairwoman.

The show will display a variety of art media, including painting, photography, wood, fiber, clay, glass and gourds.

Derrick is a juror for the art fair and said she likes being involved in that aspect.

“I enjoy interacting with the artists as they sign up for the fair and seeing all the artwork that comes in, the variety of media. We have a nice mix of media,”

Derrick said. “It is not crafts, it’s art.”

She said the event is juried, ensuring the quality of art.

West Bend artist Sally Durkee said she appreciated how helpful and kind historical society was in setting up the event.

“The promoters from the historical society are very nice people. I don’t do shows where the promoters aren’t nice to the artists, but these people are nice.

“We’re hoping to bring out families and if they can have something for their kids to do while the parents are looking around at the artists, then maybe the whole family will come out,” Hessenauer said.

This is Mary Anne’s fourth year returning to the show and she said she would definitely return.

“I just love meeting the people and the layout that they have and the way they treat us is terrific,” Mary Anne said. “It’s a very welldone show and very organized. It’s just a wonderful atmosphere.”

Durkee said she is excited for the event to raise awareness for all the artists out there.

She said she likes “meeting the customers and seeing what they like, that they appreciate what we do. It’s hard nowadays but it’s nice that they’re supporting American-made art.”

Derrick said it is a great event because there is so much to offer.

“It’s in a pretty setting, it’s music, it’s food, it’s entertainment in that there’s activities for kids and it’s a pretty walk and the museum exhibits are open as well,” Derrick said.

The proceeds go to restoration of the MesserMayer Mill in Richfield Park, which Derrick said is a rare thing.

“It is one of the very few mills left in the country and even fewer mills that have all the original equipment, so the goal is to hopefully get the equipment running and get water from Cootie Creek, which runs from the park, to operate the mill,” Derrick said.

Tours of the MesserMayer Grist Mill and Homestead House are available for $5. There will also be a silent auction of artists’ donations, music, food, wine and beer provided by Bilda’s Friess Lake Pub. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Richfield Historical Park. There is no admission fee.

Pacemaker is standard treatment for damaged sinus node

LuAnn

Dear Dr. K: My doctor says I have “sick sinus syndrome.” What is it?

Dear reader: Your question reminded me of something that happened many years ago. A new patient came to my office. She told me that a colleague of mine had been her doctor, but she had stopped seeing him because “he didn’t know what he was talking about.”

When I asked her to explain, she said that she had been weak and had almost fainted several times. At other times, her heart suddenly seemed to be beating too fast. So she saw her doctor. “He told me it was a sinus problem.

How could my sinuses make me faint, or make my heart beat too fast?” she asked. So I told her what I’m about to tell you.

Sick sinus syndrome has nothing to do with your sinuses — the ones that get congested when you have a cold, or maybe from allergies. It is a heart condition, caused by the malfunctioning of a part of the heart called the “sinus node,” or the “sinoatrial node.” This small area of the heart keeps your heart rhythm normal or regular.

Each time your heart beats, a tiny electrical current triggers the heart muscle to contract. The stimulus is sent by the sinus node. This cluster of cells in the upper right portion of your heart acts

Duplex

as your body’s natural pacemaker. (I’ve put an illustration of the sinus node on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

The electrical waves travel through the upper chambers of the heart (the atria). They then pause briefly in the atrioventricular (AV) node in the middle of the heart. The waves continue through specialized electrical connections in the lower heart chambers (the ventricles). This produces a nice rhythmic contraction of the heart muscle.

My colleague Dr. Patrick Ellinor is a cardiologist and arrhythmia specialist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. He explains that sick sinus syndrome can take many forms. The sinus node may fail to send out signals quickly enough, for example. As a result, your heart cannot beat fast enough to supply your body with fresh blood and oxygen. That’s why my patient was feeling weak and nearly fainting.

Or, a malfunctioning sinus node may shut down completely for five or six seconds. During that time, electrical activity stops and your heartbeat is put on pause. If that happens, you will most likely pass out. In another form of sick sinus syndrome, the heart rate alternates between a pace that is too fast and one that is too slow. That’s what was hap-

DR. ANTHONY KOMAROFF Ask Dr. K pening with my patient.

Sick sinus syndrome is more common in people in their 70s and 80s. Most cases result from age-related changes in the heart muscle that disrupt the heart’s electrical system.

Certain medications used to treat other heart conditions can also increase risk.

The standard treatment is placement of an artificial pacemaker to regulate the heartbeat electronically. This requires minor surgery. But a pacemaker is a safe and effective option for keeping your heart beating on track.

has launched a Safe Saw Initiative aimed at reducing the prevalence of table saw accidents by encouraging local high schools to use finger-sensing technology saws in their industrial art classes. SawStop table saws are currently the only saw with finger-sensing technology that shuts down when it comes in contact with the skin.

Nearly 40,000 Americans are treated in hospital emergency departments each year with injuries sustained while operating table saws,

according to the National Consumers League. About 4,000 of those injuries — more than 10 every day –— result in amputation. Overall, table saw-related injuries cost the U.S. approximately $2 billion every year.

Tracy McCall, WCMS presdent-elect, said the Safe Saw Initiative informs students of the importance of woodworking safety, not only in the classroom, but for future employment opportunities.

HOUSE & HOME Waukesha County’s Guide to New Homes, Home Improvement & More!

Experts place emphasis on critical home repairs Special to House & Home WAUKESHA — There are some home improvements that should not be put off, according to members of the Milwaukee/NARI Home Improvement Council Inc. Tom Feiza, known as “Mr. Fix-It” and a NARIcertified r e m o d e l e r, says grading, gutters and down- Feiza spouts are most critical.

“Everyone should be very careful with maintenance of the gutter systems, downspout extensions, and the surface grading around a home,” he said. “We must keep water away from a home to prevent basement leaks and serious basement problems like cracks and wall movement.”

When foundation walls suffer serious cracks or uneven settling from water getting down next to the foundation, the resulting repair can be extremely expensive. In most cases, serious basement problems are caused by poor control of surface water, and it’s an especially big problem in Wisconsin.

“The soil around most of our homes in Wisconsin does not help — heavy clay soil,” Feiza said. “So,

we must be diligent in maintenance and repair to keep water away from our basements. Unfortunately, most people don’t notice a problem until they have a leak or wall movement, and then it may be too late.”

Homeowners can identify a surface water issue by walking around the home during a heavy rainfall and watching the water flow on the surfaces around the home. Water should never flow toward the home.

Debbie Dempsey of Shamrock Building Inspection Consultants in Pewaukee agreed, listing poor drainage and grading problems around the home as the most critical repair.

Other home improvement jobs that should not be put off are: ■ Electrical wiring.

“Improperly installed outlets and switches, as well as improperly installed distribution wiring with subpanels not properly grounded are a big problem,” Dempsey said.

■ Recalled appliances.

Sometimes home appliances like clothes dryers and dishwashers have safety defects that could result in a home fire.

Check the model and serial numbers of each appliance at www.recalls.gov.

■ Heating, ventilation and air conditioning.

Especially for young children and older adults, a broken furnace or air conditioner is a must-fix.

■ Attic ventilation and roofing. “Poor ventilation in the attic risks condensation, mold and mildew,” Dempsey said. In addition to improving ventilation, homeowners should inspect the roof at least once per year for issues.

■ Plumbing and sump pumps. Water leaks in the home can lead to mildew, mold, rot, termites and carpenter ants. Homeowners should keep an eye out

for dark spots and stains on ceilings and under pipes and fix any drips.

Make sure the sump pump and backup pump are functional and unclogged before any storms hit.

■ Unsound structure. If the porch or staircase is showing signs of deterioration, fix it now before a collapse causes injury.

■ Aging in place. Is getting in and out of the bathtub becoming a dangerous venture? Are some areas of the home too dark to navigate safely? A “universal design” remodel to help homeowners safely age in place is something to look into now rather than later.

WAUKESHA — A special report from the U.S. Department of Justice estimated that 3.7 million household burglaries occurred each year between 2003 and 2007. But even more troubling was the finding that a household member was present during approximately 1 million burglaries, with an average of 266,650 becoming victims of violent burglaries in their homes.

With violent intrusions accounting for more than 7 percent of all home burglaries, it’s a legitimate fear for homeowners. To help homeowners stay safe in the event of a burglary, the Wisconsin Electronic Security Association offers these tips: What to do if you suspect an intrusion: Should you suspect someone has entered your home, it’s important to act quickly. First and foremost, do not attempt to apprehend the burglar yourself. If you’re near your home security system, press the emergency alarm to notify your alarm monitoring company that you require immediate assistance. If you are not close to the alarm panel or your home isn’t equipped with a monitored system, everyone in the home should immediately, and quietly, move to a prearranged safe place.

A neighbor’s home is an ideal safe place — but only if you are able to exit inconspicuously. If you’re on an upper level or cannot leave without encountering the burglar, grab your cellphone and quietly get your family into a hiding spot such as a closet or crawl space. Once your family is in place, call 911 and keep the operator on the line. Stay quiet in the safe space until police arrive or until you are certain the intruder has left your home.

What to do if you encounter a burglar: Should you be discovered by the burglar before getting to a safe place, don’t panic or make any sudden

Special to House & Home Homeowners working with their builder on a media or game room need to think through how it can best serve their lifestyles.

Tim O’Brien Homes offers these tips when creating a media or game room.

Where to put it. Location is the most important question, and the answer depends on how TV watching and game playing blends with the family’s other activities. Some homeowners want the floor plan to naturally flow from the kitchen or living area to the media or game room, which lets parents keep an eye on kids and makes it easy for guests to get drinks and snacks during the annual Super Bowl party. Such rooms typically have sliding doors so they can be isolated when needed.

Other homeowners want the room in a space that’s com-

To find a local home security company, visit www.alarm.org. movements. Avoid looking the intruder in the eyes as he or she may interpret it as an act of aggression.

Keep your hands at shoulder-level and visible to the criminal. Comply with demands and allow the burglar to leave with your possessions — nothing is worth losing your life.

In a life-threatening situation, try to escape before resorting to violence because the burglar usually has the upper hand in these situations. Additionally, attract attention by screaming or making loud noises but no matter what, never agree to go to another location with the burglar. It is likely the assailant will take you to an isolated location where you will be unable to escape or call for help.

If you’re face-to-face with the burglar, take mental notes of his or her physical appearance (height, build, hair, eye color, ethnicity, distinct markings) and mannerisms (accent, walking style) so that you can give a description to police.

What you can do to prevent a burglary: An alarm system is your first line of defense against burglary at your home and can summon help in times of distress. In a recent study conducted by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, researchers interviewed more than 400 convicted burglars and found that almost 60 percent of the incarcerated burglars indicated a home with an alarm system would cause them to seek an alternative target.

In fact, an alarm system can have a blanket effect for your neighborhood. A 2009 study conducted by Rutgers University School of Criminal Justice found that neighborhoods in which security systems were densely installed have fewer incidents of burglary than neighborhoods with fewer systems.

pletely separate from the rest of the house, such as the basement.

Controlling noise. The room can be acoustically isolated with products that dampen sound transmission through the walls, floors and ceilings. Cost-effective solutions include framing techniques that separate one side of the wall from the other (so it doesn’t vibrate like a speaker) to special membranes, insulation, acoustic tiles and sounddeadening drywall products.

Managing daylight. Natural light is great for that Saturday afternoon card game, but when it’s movie time, most people want darkness. Options include motorized screens and draperies that smoothly draw across the windows and are controlled by remote devices or wall-mounted panels. For tighter budgets, consider hand-operated blackout shades.

Accommodating technology. Though most homebuyers purchase their own consumer electronics, the media or game room needs a floor plan and a wiring infrastructure to accommodate these devices and their data feeds. People who love movies may want a 6- to 10foot-wide screen and a 7.1 surround sound system.

Seating, storage, and snacks. In many media or game rooms, it’s not unusual for family members and their friends to be engaged in multiple simultaneous activities. Consider including different seating zones, as well as built-in cabinet storage for Xboxes, Wiis and other tech gadgetry.
