Nephew creates shadow box of uncle’s war memorabilia

By Vicky Wedig

Hallett, who was born two years after his uncle’s death, is creating a military-style shadow box to contain his uncle’s artifacts, which include a Silver Star Medal awarded to Ray Hallett for bravery in World War II. Before relocating from Beloit to German in October for Hallet’s wife, Cindy’s, civilian job with the Air Force, Hallet visited the Webster House Museum in Elkhorn to see whether the Walworth County Historical Society was interested

in his uncle’s memorabilia.

He plans to donate it to the Historical Society during a visit to Wisconsin this summer.

The late Delavan historian Gordon Yadon wrote a column about Ray Hallett in the Enterprise.

It read, in part: “Raymond Hallett graduated from Delavan High School in 1937 and enlisted in the Army nine months before Pearl Harbor.

During World War II, he won the Silver Star for bravery, was captured during the Battle of the Bulge and survived more than four months in various POW camps.

tion in France and Holland before moving into Belgium.

As a front-line medic, he was in the center of the action on Dec. 16, 1944, when 25 German divisions overran the American lines held by six divisions. Although Hallett’s Seventh Armored Division at St. Vith and the 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne made courageous attempts to hold the line, the German Fifth and Sixth Panser Armies broke through and inflicted heavy casualties on U.S. forces and took many prisoners.

For six days, Hallett’s company was engaged in intense combat in the Bulge area. On Dec. 22, his unit was ordered to withdraw, and, although it meant certain capture and possible death, Hallett volunteered to stay with three wounded infantrymen who could not be evacuated. A short time later, German troops advanced, and Hallett and his wounded comrades became prisoners of war.”

The younger Ray Hallett said Yadon’s column contained details about his uncle that he had never known and wonders if other Delavan area residents remember the first Ray Hallett.

“Apparently, from the stories I’ve heard of him, he was a popular guy and very well liked,” he said.

Hallett said when the last of his uncle’s generation died – Hallett’s brothers Harold and Oren and his sister, Helen – the quest for gaining information about his late un-

DELAVAN TRAIN SHOW RETURNS FOR ANOTHER RUN

By Tracy Ouellette EDITOR

If you go…

The annual Delavan Train Show pulls into town March WHAT: 2016 Delavan 12 and departs March 13, but Train Show not before attracting hundreds WHERE: Downtown of train enthusiasts to the Delavan downtown area to view the WHEN: on Saturday, operating model-train displays March 12, 9 a.m. to set up for the event.

4 p.m. and Sunday, Delavan-Delavan Lake March 13, 9 a.m. to Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jackie 2 p.m.

Busch said there will be nearly FOR MORE 20 different displays set up for INFORMATION: this year’s event at more than a delavanwi.org. dozen locations.

“These are operating layouts,” Busch said. “They’re actually running trains.”

The show features working layouts in many scales, ranging from Z to G, and hosts some of the finest, awardwinning layouts in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Many of the layouts also have trains and/or accessories visitors can operate.

“It’s a family friendly event,” Busch said. “And it’s free!”

In addition to the model-train layouts at the American Legion Hall, 111 S. Second St., visitors are encouraged to visit the various downtown businesses hosting other train

layouts and exhibits. Children can have their “train tickets” punched at each location for a chance to win prizes.

“The downtown businesses really step up for this,” Busch said. “They have special sales and advertise for the event. It’s just a good thing for Delavan. It gets people to visit during an “in-between” time of year – it’s not winter anymore and not yet spring. So it’s a good fit and offers a lot of free family fun.”

Busch said this was the first year the chamber was one of the major sponsors, before that WSLD sponsored the event for a couple of years (it is still a sponsor) and before that Sara and Brad Deschner put on the show for more than six years. The show started its run in the lobby of a Delavan bank before the Deschners took over.

Busch said the Deschners are still “heavily involved” in the show, but no longer have to manage all the planning and execution on their own.

Busch said keeping the show local was the reasoning behind the chamber becoming more involved this year.

“We didn’t want Brad and Sara to bring it anywhere else,” Busch said. “It’s a great Delavan event and we’re always looking for neat things to do to boost our downtown and give us some exposure this time of year.”

Where to see the trains The Train Show exhibit locations are in the Downtown Delavan business district from Main Street to Fourth Street along Walworth Avenue. Individual sites include: • Delavan American Legion;

• City of Delavan Municipal Building; • Patty’s Downtown Deli; • Brick Street Market; • Rosebuds Floral and Gifts; • Avant Bicycle Supply; • see TRAIN SHOW on page 4

The timeline of model trains

1860s: Wooden and metal floor toys that resemble trains are first made.

1891: Pioneering toy company Marklin of Germany establishes a series of standard track gauges for its clockwork (wind-up) and later electric-powered trains.

1896: Carlisle and Finch in the United States develops electric- powered trains that run on metal track.

1901:

Lionel produces its first electric train, built initially only as a store-window display. Shoppers are more interested in the display itself than the store’s products.

1920s: Toy electric trains blossom in popularity in what today is known as the “Golden Age.” However, most are big, expensive, and associated with rich kids.

1930s:

Accurate model trains in O scale and later HO scale, more realistic in proportion and detail than “toy” trains, come into existence. They are primarily kits built by adult craftsmen.

1934: First issue of Model Railroader magazine.

1942-45: World War II halts toy production, including production of electric train sets.

Early 1950s: Toy trains are the no. 1 toys for boys, as pervasive in American

culture as video games are today. Lionel for a time is the biggest toy maker in the United States. There is not a single boy who doesn’t have trains or have a friend with a train set.

Mid-1950s:

There is a clear split between scale model railroading for adults and toy trains sold to children. Plastic takes over as the primary material used to produce model trains.

1965:

Ever improving electric motor technology and manufacturing techniques lead to the introduction of N scale trains, about half the size of HO trains.

1968: On the opposite end of the spectrum, LGB of Germany introduces large

scale or “G” scale trains, which today predominate in the hobby of garden railroading.

1970s: Z scale, half again as small as N scale, is introduced by Marklin.

Developments in the field of electronics begin to influence how electric trains designed and are controlled on the track.

1980s:

Digital control systems and realistic sound-producing systems are developed.

Today: Model trains are more popular than ever, especially among Baby Boomers who were children

Today: There are about 500,000 model railroaders and toy train hobbyists in the

United States and Canada. Model trains are especially popular in England, Germany, Australia, and Japan. The World’s Greatest Hobby campaign is launched to promote all aspects of model railroading.

Delavan man awarded for achievement at VIP Services Recipient with disabilities known for cheerfulness, helpfulness

By Vicky Wedig STAFF WRITER

John Fleming is known for his cheerfulness and his eagerness to help other people despite being born with cognitive disabilities.

“He’s as happy as can be,” said his sister, Dottie Bruno, of Delavan.

Bruno gets a phone call from her brother, who thrives on routine, at 6 a.m. every day, and hears an enthusiastic good morning.

“He calls me every morning,” she said. “He’s always cheerful.”

The he 69-year-old was tickled pink, Bruno said, when his name was called at VIP Services’ 31st annual recognition dinner Feb. 4 as its Individual Achievement Honoree of the Year.

“He was overwhelmed,” Bruno said. “It meant a lot for him.

I think it’s great for their selfesteem. He’s just as proud as a peacock.”

Fleming was born in Norristown, Pa., with numerous congenital problems and moderate intellectual disabilities, Bruno

said. He lived with his parents, Virginia and Francis Fleming, in Pennsylvania until moving to Delavan six years after his dad died.

Bruno and her husband had been transferred to Chicago through an employer and had a summer home on Delavan Lake before moving to Delavan Lake.

After her dad died in 1989, Bruno said, her mother, who suffered from multiple sclerosis, decided to move to Delavan to be near her daughter in 1995.

Fleming, who, along with caregivers, helped take care of his mother with MS, came along.

Virginia and John Fleming moved into an apartment at Abbey Way in Delavan where caregivers came in during the day to help care for Virginia, Dottie said.

They would set things up for dinner so that John could later push the button to start the stove, give his mother dinner and get her to bed, she said.

“That’s why he, I think, he really likes to help people,” Bruno

said Fleming follows directions and doesn’t stop when assigned job is finished but asks what he can do next.

Bruno said Fleming will help other VIP clients with their tasks as well and loves being there.

“It gives him a purpose,” she said. “These people need a purpose to get up and to interact.

“I’m very fortunate, and he is extremely fortunate, that we have a place locally that reaches out to those with disabilities.”

Angie Brunhart, of VIP Services, wrote in remarks about Fleming that he is a consistent role model for what it means to be a valued worker.

“John is a consistent bright light,” she wrote. “He is always upbeat, friendly, cheerful and positive. He never fails to do his best, no matter how challenging the task. When John sees someone who needs help, he never hesitates to step in to lend a hand. “ At Feb. 4 reception, which VIP staff say is a high point of the year for its clients, area businesses also were honored.

him,” she said.

His short-term memory is poor, but his long-term memory is good, Bruno said.

She said if he were younger, he would likely be even higher functioning than he is. When Fleming was born in the 1940s, facilities like Lakeland School weren’t available, she said.

“He was born at a time that there wasn’t a lot of avenues like there are today,” Bruno said.

At VIP Services, Fleming labels Kikkoman bottles and follows specific one-on-one directions.

“You have to give him the direction and then he’ll get the job done,” Bruno said.

She said Fleming loves to be asked for help like raking leaves at her house but needs to be guided through each step of the task.

“If I ask him to do anything, he really likes that,” she said.

Bruno said Fleming has a green thumb, loves plants and decorations and decorates for every holiday.

VIP Services benefits specialist Carolyn Morris presented Fleming’s award at Thursday’s banquet at Evergreen Golf Club in Elkhorn.

She said Fleming received the award not just for reaching one or two goals but because he achieves every day. Morris

said. “He loves to go up to the nursing home.”

When Virginia Fleming died, John Fleming stayed at the Abbey Way apartment and lives independently with one of his mother’s former caregivers, Pat Brown, checking on him routinely.

Bruno said Brown has become like part of the family and stops in two mornings a week for companionship and to do laundry or tidy up.

Fleming is a familiar face at the nearby Shopko and Piggly Wiggly stores where employees become concerned if they haven’t seen him in awhile, Bruno said.

After their mother passed, Bruno said, she also felt Fleming needed to have something to do and heard about VIP Services in Elkhorn by word of mouth. He started working in the facility’s workshop 13 1/2 years ago.

“John absolutely loves it,” Bruno said. “He goes two days a week, and that’s his highlight of the week. It’s just a family there. It’s such a nice environment.”

Fleming doesn’t read and his speech is difficult to understand, but he communicates and understands a lot through pictures and associations, Bruno said “He’s very social but you do have a hard time understanding

Group helps make blue jeans into shoes for kids in Uganda

By Vicky Wedig STAFF WRITER

ld blue jeans, plastic folders and scissors were a recipe for shoes for a group of mothers gathered in Delavan on Feb. 16.

Fifteen members of the Walworth County Mothers of Preschoolers group – and one father of the preschoolers – gathered at the Town Bank Community Center to cut out shoes for Sole Hope.

Sole Hope was founded in 2010 by Drü and Asher Collie of North Carolina. Drü was managing a chain of coffee stores and

Asher was building a photography business and taking care of their young children and foster children.

Asher’s father was a Navy chaplain and Drü’s parents were involved in overseas mission programs. The couple have a heart for children in need, according to their website. They served as foster parents and were considering adopting an African child when Asher came across a YouTube Video on jiggers and their devastating affect on children.

Jiggers are small chigoe fleas that live in dust and burrow into the skin. Jiggers burrow into feet and lay eggs that multiply and damage tissue, causing great pain and horrible infections, according to the Sole Hope website.

“At first I tried to close off my heart and prayed that someone else would care enough to do something about this,” Asher Collie wrote on the Sole Hope website. Collie decided the solution was creating closedtoe shoes that would protect children’s feet from the jiggers – not to be mistaken with the chiggers that live in grass in the United States.

Collie created a pattern that is used at shoe-cutting parties all over the world like the one in Delavan last week.

Delavan resident and MOPS member Stacy Becker brought the Sole Hope party to Delavan through a Thrivent Financial action team. Thrivent members can apply to create an Action Teams online by dreaming up an idea and filling out an application, said Josh Duesterbeck of Thrivent.

If an application is approved, the member gets an action team kit in the mail

that includes seed money for the project and team t-shirts. The member then brings together a group of volunteers to take action on his or her cause.

Duesterbeck said 149 action teams raised $140,000 locally last year for various causes.

Becker brought her fellow MOPS members together to cut materials for shoes that will be shipped to Uganda where a shoemaker will make them into shoes for kids.

Using unwanted blue jeans the Delavan team brought, members cut size 7 toddler shoe patterns. The recipe was completed with safety pins, Sharpies and Ziplock bags to label the materials and keep them organized for the shoemaker.

In addition to providing shoes to help prevent jiggers, Sole Hope helps create jobs for shoemakers and tailors, according to the

organization.

A $10 donation is asked from each participant to ship the shoes to Uganda and pay the shoemaker a decent wage.

The women traced patterns provided by Sole Hope onto the denim and cut them out.

They cut reinforcements for the heels of the shoes from plastic folders. When they were done cutting, the 12 pieces that make up one pair of shoes were pinned together, placed in Ziplock bags and labeled with the size.

Sole Hope has clinics in Uganda where the jiggers are removed from people’s feet and they’re taught to wear their shoes and take care of jiggers when they’re first noticed on the feet and are easier to remove, according to Sole Hope.

The MOPS group has about 60 members who meet twice a month at Lakeland Community Church on Highway 67 north of Highway 50.
