Sweet on you

Something Sweet offers link to stores of the past By Sandra Landen Machaj CORRESPONDENT

There was a time in the not-so-distant past when one of the greatest joys in a child’s life was a trip to the neighborhood candy store. Wandering up and down the rows of candy jars, it was often difficult to make the decision. Which candies should they purchase with their small amount of change? Back in the 1900s, pieces of candy could be purchased for 1 cent or 2 cents, so a dime would buy several pieces of candy but the choices were made very carefully to find the favorites and to allow the purchase of the most candy for their money. Penny candies were often the first item that children would purchase with their own money. The sweet taste of penny candy and the meager incomes of a child were a match made in heaven. In the late 1800s through the 1950s, penny candy was readily available in the United States. Some of it was sold in the local general stores and there were also standalone candy stores. The candy would be displayed in con-

tainers or jars. The customers, adults or children, would stick their hands in the jars and pick out the pieces they wished to purchase. That’s something that would not be allowed today with current health and sanitation laws. Tootsie Roll was the first to introduce its candy in individual wrapping in 1896. The Tootsie Roll was followed by a candy by Necco Wafers known as Sweet Hearts, which were also individually wrapped. Other candies soon followed Tootsie Roll and Necco. Hershey’s kisses were the first chocolate candies to be pre-wrapped. Licorice, candy corn, Mary Janes, bubble gum, jaw breakers were among the favorites. A treat known as bottle caps were made of wax and looked like miniature soda bottles and were filled with a sugary liquid that children loved. But as with all great things, the penny candies and their stores disappeared – but not completely. In downtown Antioch, that dream of childhood a trip to the local candy store, be-

SANDRA LANDEN MACHAJ Hi-Liter

Reminiscent of the candy stores of earlier days, this display carries a variety of candies that have been favorites through the years. The prices for these items that were once known as penny candies now reflect today’s economy.

• Penny candy came a reality in 1998 when Michelle Michel opened Something Sweet, a store that specializes in children’s favorites. The store originally opened in the building next door to the PM&L Theater where it became a favorite destination for both residents and visitors to Antioch. It was not long until the business grew too large for the space. Approximately 10 years

(Continued from front page)

ago Something Sweet moved from its original location to its current home, at 891 Main St., just a block or so south of the previous location. Over the years the store has expanded to include fudge, high-end chocolates, gift items, and favors for birthday parties, showers and business meetings. Sugar-free chocolates were added for those who are sugar sensitive. Four years ago Michel moved out of the area and, as

expected, her daughter, Ashley, took over the store. “Our specialties are our homemade fudge and Bearfoots,” Ashley said, as she pointed out various items special to the store. The Bearfoot is Something Sweet’s version of what many think of as “Turtles or Pixies. The Bearfoot is much larger and can be made with pecans, cashews or macadamia nuts. The macadamia nuts are ordered from a spe-

cific farm in Hawaii. The large, rich and tasty Bearfoot is difficult to eat in one sitting. Something Sweet is also home to another old-time favorite, the ice cream parlor. “From April to Thanksgiving we carry Homer’s ice cream,” Ashley said. For those familiar with the Wilmette area, Homer’s has been the favorite local ice cream for many years. According to Ashley, the

best seller of all the candy available at Something Sweet is the chocolate-covered orange peels followed by other chocolate-dipped fruits. Peppermint bark is a holiday favorite often made only during the Christmas season. For the real peppermint bark fan, here is a little secret. Something Sweet makes it all year long. Something Sweet also offers a doggie treat that is dipped into a watered down

vanilla fudge. If you are looking for a special sweet treat, Something Sweet just have what it takes to satisfy that taste – whether it is for a candy from your past, high-end chocolates or fudge, or perhaps to reminisce about the candy stores of your youth. While penny candy can no longer be found for a penny, many of those favorite tastes are still available if you know where to look.

Aquanuts co-founder succumbs to cancer Borowski, 62, made ski show possible

By Jason Arndt STAFF WRITER

For nearly 45 years, Aquanuts Water Ski Shows packed Lake Mary in Twin Lakes, Wis., with excitement and energy – all of it sparked by an idea from Gary Borowski in the early 1970’s. The 62-year-old Borowski, one of three Aquanuts co-founders, succumbed to cancer Dec. 1 and left behind a family and community legacy. “Much of who we are today, would not have been possible without Gary,” said Aquanuts President Cindy Amore. “He was a lot of fun, very talented and creative.” According to fellow

co-founder Karl Schuberth, who sent a letter regarding the death to Aquanuts alumni, Borowski’s idea came from an experience he had in Minocqua in the late 1960’s. “The idea of the Aquanuts doing a weekly show sprung from Gary’s experience of visiting his friend, John Dummer, each summer and skiing with the MinAqua Bats in Minocqua,” Schuberth states. Although Twin Lakes had an annual three-hour ski show, in which Schuberth was a member of for two years, Borowski thought of reviving the show and expanding it to twice weekly in the summer.

Schuberth, who worked alongside Borowski at the Edgewater Hotel in Twin Lakes, where they raked seaweed off the beach, recalled a dream they both had. “Gary would share his stories of the Min-Aqua Bats and we would dream of taking the annual three-hour Twin Lakes Ski Show that we were in for two years that Jim Brady so kindly and lovingly put together, and turn it into the twice weekly show that is performed today,” Schuberth wrote. After adopting a set of by-laws, modeled after the Minocqua club, the Aquanuts divided the team into senior and junior members,

before electing an inaugural board of directors. With Kent Yunker as president, Borowski served as vice president and the team’s first towboat driver, and Schuberth became the show director. Spearheaded by board members, and adult advisors Ted Borowski, Don Kaelber and Roy Rhode, the Aquanuts hit Edgewater Beach in 1973. Following one year at Edgewater Beach, the Twin Lakes Village Board approved the conversion of a swamp near Lance Park as the Aquanuts new home. It’s where they performed the next 43 years.

Within the first five years, the Aquanuts garnered multiple state and national honors, including state titles in 1978 and 1979. “We really became recognized on the national level in such a short time,” Amore said. “He was a lifetime member, Gary was instrumental back in the 1970’s to get started.” Schuberth fondly recalls Borowski’s determination as the Aquanuts’ first towboat driver and willingness as a team player. “Those were heady, exciting days of building something from the ground up and seeing your dreams come true and Gary was

a key part in making that happen for all of us because none of that happens without a great, dedicated boat driver,” Schuberth said. “While we might be in two or three acts at practice, Gary was driving virtually every act.” Borowski is survived by his wife, Cathy, two sons, his father, Ted, and brothers Gregg, Kenny and Wayne. “The Aquanut hearts are heavy for his family,” said Amore. “He was an allaround good guy and good friend.” “I will miss him dearly, my deepest sympathies to his (family),” Schuberth added. Funeral services are pending, according to Amore.

Helping hands

An assembly line of Antioch Lions Club members and volunteers carefully pack a wide variety of food items during the annual Lions Christmas food basket event at Dave Karczewski’s Piggly Wiggly, 460 Orchard St., Antioch, on Friday, Dec. 16. The grocery store again served as the base of operations in another village tradition with the Lions donating all of the food as well as making the deliveries the following day. More than 20 people filled a total of 76 large boxes with bread, canned goods, eggs, and fresh fruit and vegetables, among other items with next-day-delivery destinations being needy families throughout the village and Antioch Township. Last month the Lions and Piggly Wiggly held a similar event for the Thanksgiving holiday. In addition to assisting in feeding the area’s needy, the Lions Club is also constructing a new pavilion at the Antioch Aqua Center for the community’s use. To find out more about the pavilion and the Lions Club, visit www.gofundme.com/pavilion.

Area police, firefighters continue heroic tradition By Jason Arndt STAFF WRITER

Since 2004, the Twin Lakes (Wis.) Professional Police Association has given hope to children in the annual Shop with a Hero event. It has helped 334 children and involves multiple public service agencies whose members take them shopping, according to a Twin Lakes Police Department news release. This year, 24 students from Lakewood and Randall Consolidated schools in Twin Lakes were selected to take part Dec. 10, when they headed to Walmart in Lake Geneva for a $200 shopping spree. Lakewood’s District Administrator, Joe Price, who has participated as a volunteer for nine straight years, said Shop with a Hero is a rewarding experience for students. “It’s really awesome to be there, they were incredibly giddy,” said Price, who could not attend this year’s event due to a family obligation. “It was a great way to the connect with community and the police department.” Discover the

Each student is paired with a Twin Lakes police officer, emergency dispatcher, EMT or firefighter at the event. All money is raised through donations from local businesses with a major donation from the Genoa City Lions Club, Lake Geneva Walmart and We Back the Badge Inc. “Many of the children bought presents for family and friends,” the release states. “Volunteers from Lakewood School, Randall School Optimist Club and family members of the heroes wrapped gifts for the children.” Meanwhile, Price extended gratitude to the Lakewood School PTO for pitching in and Twin Lakes officials for continuing the event. “I just want to thank the school PTO and police, fire department for helping out,” Price said. Following the event, the students went to Driftwood Restaurant in Twin Lakes, where they had a pizza party with their families and heroes of the day.

Delavan’s Liam Jeninga (far left) is one of the Cratchit children in the Milwaukee Repertory Theater production of “A Christmas Carol.” A seventh grader at Delavan Christian School, it is Jeninga’s first professional part.

LOCAL YOUTH ACTOR LANDS ROLE IN By Michael S. Hoey CORRESPONDENT

‘A Christmas Carol’

hirteen-year-old Liam Jeninga, a seventh grader at Delavan (Wis.) Christian School, is in the cast of Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s “A Christmas Carol” at the Pabst Theater. The show began on Nov. 27 and runs through Saturday. Jeninga, who said he had never even seen a production this big, had only local acting experience prior to earning the role as Mathew Cratchit, brother of Tiny Tim. Jeninga was excited about all he has learned in his time performing and was excited to play a role that was not previously part of the Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s interpretation of the story. The company has been performing “A Christmas Carol” for 41 years and Mathew Cratchet had never been a role in the production before. Though not written specifically for him, Jeninga said he was honored to be the first to portray Mathew. “It has been a pleasure to work with Liam on this production,” Director of Media Relations Frances White said. “The story requires the Cratchits to be a connected, kind family, and it is so wonderful to have Liam play Mathew with such heart and determination.” “Just the other day I was saying, ‘You know, Liam is really the unsung hero of this production,’” Associate Director Leda Hoffman said. “He’s always on top of what he’s supposed

to be doing, making the play better with his focused, specific acting choices, and never calling attention to himself for praise for doing it.” Jeninga said he has learned a lot from being in the production in general and from working with the other actors specifically. He said he can’t pick which he prefers, acting or singing, he likes both so much. Jeninga, who has had no professional lessons, has two older sisters and an older brother who have also been involved in acting to some extent. His brother, Dylan, is performing with the Chicago Conservatory at Second City. The Good Company at the Chapel on the Hill in Lake Geneva is where Jeninga has spent most of his acting time. He started performing there at the age of seven in the children’s choir. He has also performed in school productions like “Annie.” Step up to professional Jeninga and his mother, Sara, said performing in those places is much different than in the 1,300-seat Pabst Theater in a professional production beyond just that he gets paid. Sara said he received his first paycheck just last week. “In the past, if I was sick I could just miss (rehearsal),” Jeninga said. “This is much bigger, and you don’t want to miss.” Jeninga said he is used to performing just over a weekend. Sara said this production has been a much bigger commitment with rehearsals

every day except Monday for over four weeks and 36 total performances. Sara also said the Milwaukee Repertory Theater has been very professional to work with. Liam Jeninga “They do a really good job with the kids,” she said, noting the theater has staff members dedicated to their drop-off and pick-up. “They are very well organized, and I never worry about his safety,” Sara said. That kind of schedule, however, can be very difficult to fit around school, sports, and Liam’s other interests. Jeninga plays youth soccer and his team won the summer league championship last summer. He also enjoys singing, playing the piano, solving Rubik’s Cube and collecting baseball cards. Jeninga said traveling to Milwaukee almost daily and committing the time to rehearsing and performing sometimes makes it difficult to keep up on school work, but he said it is worth it. His mother said attending a smaller school like DCS has made it easier to work with his teachers. She said they are very supportive and some have even come to see the show. “It is really fun to be part of a professional production,” Sara said. “I

don’t have to volunteer for anything like making costumes.”

Landing the role Jeninga landed the role indirectly. He auditioned at the First Stage Theater in Milwaukee, a professional children’s theater that is the second largest in the country. First Stage has open auditions once a year. Sara said Liam’s soccer game on that day back in July had been cancelled, so they decided at the last minute to give it a try. While there, one of the directors gave Jeninga a pamphlet for “A Christmas Carol” and encouraged him to try out. The Repertory Theater held an audition for the 18 children’s parts and more than 100 kids showed up. Jeninga said much of the audition was singing, including singing his favorite Christmas carol. That started at about 9 a.m. Call-backs were posted at noon, and he was given a short script to learn over lunch. He then performed the scenes with other actors until about 5 p.m. Sara said the company had not yet finished the script and did not know at that time how many roles were available. She said more than a month later, Liam received a phone call offering him the part of Mathew Cratchit. “I was very ecstatic and happy,” Jeninga said. “It was the first time I was ever offered a part. I called my grandparents to tell them right away.” Jeninga said auditioning for a professional production was a good

experience, and he had no idea if he would land a part. “It was fun to try,” he said. Jeninga said he got nervous the first few times he performed at the Pabst Theater in front of such large audiences, but he said every time he has stepped on the stage has been amazing. Jeninga said he really likes the time on stage just before the curtain rises. Jeninga said he has learned quite a bit along the way including the old English dialect, different ways to act and sing, new warm-up routines and how to move on a professional stage with lots of technology and moving parts. Jeninga said the Pabst Theater stage can be very dangerous if an actor is in the wrong place at the wrong time because parts of it move during the performance. “You really don’t want to wait to the last second to learn your lines,” Jeninga added about what he learned. “Everyone takes it very seriously,” Sara said. One thing Jeninga said the cast has been very good about is covering for each other when someone makes a mistake. He said when that happens, the audience rarely even notices. Jeninga said the cast interacts quite a bit. They have even adopted the practice of telling each other bad jokes, like one he recently told to leading actor Jonathon Wainwright. Jeninga said the only version of “A Christmas Carol” he had ever even

• Christmas Carol seen before auditioning for a role in it was the Muppet version. He said he learned a lot about the story and its message in preparing for the production. He said Scrooge, played by Wainwright, really learns his lesson. “Everyone should spread good cheer at Christmas and think of others as fellow travelers to the grave and not some other race of creatures bound on other journeys,” Jeninga quoted from the script.

Sara said the story is much like a Christmas ghost story with a high-tech set that really feels like a London setting complete with fog and ghosts that light up. Liam said it even snows on stage and in the audience near the end of the show. Jeninga said he really enjoys singing and acting and he would like to pursue it as a career. He already has his next role lined up. Jeninga received a call back from First Stage to be in “Mockingbird” as William

H., an autistic boy, from March 24 to April 9 at the Todd Wehr Theater in Milwaukee. “It is exciting,” Jeninga said. He also hopes to turn being in “A Christmas Carol” into an annual tradition. Sara said she and Liam’s father, John, are very proud of Liam and they have all enjoyed the entire process. The show runs through Christmas Eve.

Milwaukee Repertory Theater presents 41st running of ‘A Christmas Carol’ By Michael S. Hoey CORRESPONDENT

The Milwaukee Repertory Theater is bringing its brand new production of “A Christmas Carol” to a close on Christmas Eve. This year’s production is the company’s fifth adaptation of the story and is the world premiere adaptation written by Artistic Director Mark Clements. The show is already the best-selling show in the 41-year production history of the company. Overall, the Milwaukee Repertory’s production of “A Christmas Carol” is the second-longest running show in America with more than 1.5 million people having seen the show over the previous 40 years. Liam Jeninga, of Delavan, is making his professional debut as Mathew Cratchit, a role not in previous versions of the show. Cratchit is one of Tiny Tim’s five siblings. According to a press release from the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, this year’s production includes one of the largest and elaborate sets the company has ever created. The traditional story of Scrooge learning what Christmas is really all about remains in this adaptation of “A Christmas Carol” with many of the same characters in the heart of Victorian London. The production features local favorite Jonathon Wainwright as the 12th actor to portray Scrooge for the company. Wainwright portrayed Bob Cratchit in four previous productions

and recently played George in the Repertory’s production “Of Mice and Men.” Clements has been with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater since the 2010-11 season. His work has appeared in more than 100 major theaters in the United States and Europe. Clements has directed 16 productions for the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. Dan Kazemi, a New York-based composer, music director and educator, is an associate artist at the Repertory Theater and is the music director for this show. Kazemi directed 14 previous productions for the repertory Theater. In its 63rd season, the Milwaukee Repertory Theater is a nationally recognized company that presents musical productions in three on-site venues in downtown Milwaukee, the Quadracci Powerhouse, the Stiemke Studio and the Stackner Cabaret in addition to its annual production of “A Christmas Carol” at the historic Pabst Theater. The three on-site venues, collectively called the Jay Baker Theater Complex, were carved out of a converted power generation plant. “A Christmas Carol” began its run Nov. 29 and will close on Christmas Eve at the Pabst Theater, 144 East Wells St. in Milwaukee. Two shows will be presented Friday – at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. – and two Saturday – at noon and 4:30 p.m. Ticket information can be found at www.MilwaukeeRep.com.

was provided a handicap accessible van to accommodate his new life in a wheel chair. The loss of his income and waiting on his disability would not have allowed him and his wife to have transportation unless she lifted him in and out of their car. That would be an impossible task and make medical and frequent emergency-room trips even more difficult for this struggling husband and wife. Many cars were repaired preventing job loss and allowing other necessary transportation. Gas gift cards were provided to ease the financial stress of transportation. When transportation was given once again, we and our volunteers saw the shaking and crying of our fellow creations with overwhelming gratitude for our caring transportation assistance. They expressed through their tears that they never knew there were people with such caring hearts willing to help them put their life back on track. Thank God all of us together, with the Barnabas donors, were there to ease the stress of lack of transportation.

After consecutive weekends with significant snowfall in Southeast Wisconsin, the Kenosha County Snowmobile Alliance announced the opening of the trails last week, according to the nonprofit organization. The Kenosha County Snowmobile Alliance is a collective of organizations involving six snowmobile clubs in Kenosha County. To access the trails, the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs requires members to buy a Wisconsin Trail Pass, available through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources or at a local

club for a discounted price. Cost of an annual Wisconsin Trail Pass from DNR is $30, or if snowmobilers are current members of an AWSC-recognized club in Wisconsin, cost is $10. If a new member enrolls at an AWSC-recognized club, the Kenosha County Snowmobile Alliance reported on its Facebook page that club treasurers will submit registrants information and AWSC dues, and in turn, the AWSC will process any changes and issue new members a new AWSC number. “It takes 48 business hours for the AWSC office, once they receive your

dues and roster update,” the post states “Then, the AWSC will send the club treasurer your AWSC number, and they wil send it to you.” For current members who can no find their yellow AWSC card, they can contact the club treasurer via email to request their number, look on the address label of a members Wisconsin Snowmobile News mailing or take a photo of the AWSC card on a Smartphone for easy access.

Wilmot Mountain opens the slopes Guests greeted with multiple improvements

By Jason Arndt STAFF WRITER

Following several months of facility improvements, the slopes are ready at Wilmot Mountain, new owner Vail Resorts announced last week. Wilmot Mountain, which opened Dec. 14, has undergone $13 million in facility and equipment upgrades since Vail Resorts bought the nearly 80-year-old ski hill last January. Upgrades at the facility at 11931 Fox River Rd, Wilmot, Wis., include new snowmaking equipment, more food court space, a new children’s ski school along with new ski lifts. According to Wilmot Mountain General Manager Taylor Ogilvie, Wednesday’s opening was a team effort. “We couldn’t be happier to open our slopes to guests on Wednesday as we continue to put the finishing touches on the improvement projects,” said Ogilvie. “The re-imagining of the mountain has been a passion project for the whole team.” Ogilvie, who was interviewed by the Report in October, states a temperature of 28 degrees is ideal for maintaining a blanket of snow on the ski hill. Temperatures plunged earlier this week and more snow is expected this weekend.

new ski lifts, more efficient snowmaking equipment, a fully renovated base lodge, a children’s ski school and an improved terrain. New to Wilmot Mountain is a Kids’ Ski and Snowboard School, housed in a previously unused building, which has a lunch and break room. Near the newly restructured 4,000-square foot open space building lies a learning terrain at the base of the hill for children still learning to ski. The upgrades, Ogilvie said, gives customers a new experience. “Bringing the Vail Resorts brand and elevated level of resort experience to this area allows us to showcase the best of snow sports in such a beloved destination,” Ogilvie states in the release.

Ticket options for skiers and snowboarders: • Wilmot Mountain Single Day Tickets: Daily tickets can be purchased both on site and online. Monday through Thursday, full day lift tickets will run $54 for adults and $49 for children and seniors. Friday through Sunday and holidays, prices will be $64 for adults and $59 for children and seniors. For same-day tickets purchased after 3 p.m., all ticket prices drop $5 off the respective prices listed above. First season for Vail • Wilmot Mountain’s Upgrades consist of three Preferred Program: Join

the Preferred Program to enjoy local savings in addition to savings at Vail Resorts’ Western ski resorts. Preferred Program participants will save $5 daily on each lift ticket, can skip the line with online access, and can deduct the full value of their daily Wilmot Mountain lift ticket from the price of a lift ticket at any of the eight Epic Resorts out West in Colorado, Utah and Tahoe. Guests will need to sign up at guest services for the free program.
