Consolidation steps detailed Residents must petition for fire service change

By Gail Peckler-Dziki

CORRESPONDENT

The Village of Antioch, First Fire Protection District 1 and Antioch Township appear to be moving closer to a consolidation of fire services for the area.

Dan Venturi, attorney for the fire protection district, presented the necessary steps to all three groups recently and said it appears that all are on board.

He appeared at the Antioch Township board meeting on Feb. 11 to explain the steps.

The first step is for a resident of the Village of Antioch,

to draw up a petition to get the question on the ballot. If the desire is to get the question on the November ballot, Venturi said, the petition must be filed with the Lake County Circuit Court by the first week in August.

“The petition must be written from scratch,” Venturi said, “and should be handled by a group of citizens. They need to find a neutral attorney.

For either Bob Long or myself to be involved would create a conflict of interest.”

Only a village resident can launch the petition and only village residents can sign it.

Any U.S. citizen can circulate

it.

The petition must be signed by one percent of the village’s 9,800 registered voters, or a total of 98 voters must sign.

As an example, Venturi pointed to the same issue that appeared on the ballot in Fox Lake as two questions.

The first asked “For joining the Fox Lake Fire Protection District and assuming a proportionate share of bonded indebtedness, if any.”

The second question read, “Against joining the Fox Lake Fire Protection District and assuming a proportionate

The time is now to help

Mother struggles after husband leaves her

Dear W.C., I am a senior citizen and occasional donor. I read your article each week in the newspaper. I worked hard my whole life and was able to retire 10 years ago at age 70. I have a home health care worker and a housekeeper who come in several times a week to check on me and keep things tidy.

The reason I am writing is I am worried about my housekeeper.

She has worked for me for about three years now, and we have gotten to be friends. She often brings me treats or shows me pictures of her kids. Recently I noticed she was looking more and more gaunt. When I asked her if everything was all right she told me her husband had left the country and deserted her and their three children. I know this has to be hard for them, as she does not make much money cleaning. She is a kind, good woman, and I feel so bad for her.

She has had to miss cleaning on several occasions due to car trouble. Now she told me she is

would sometimes just stop by to check on her, even when she was not cleaning or being paid for her services. On holidays the woman always made sure she had a home-cooked meal and a visit from the children.

The senior woman also shared some of the times her cleaning woman had struggled because of her husband’s drinking. She said, “There were days I could see she was hurting. I have seen her cry when she didn’t think I was looking. I have had to pry out of her what I know about her relationship with her awful husband. From what I’ve observed he was a terrible husband and father.” From our conversation I could tell this woman not only desperately needed our help, she also was very worthy. The senior woman provided me the woman and children’s address and phone number so I could check on them myself. The senior woman said she would call and tell the woman I was coming to visit so she would answer the door. She was afraid the woman would not answer the door thinking I was there to evict them.

I went to the address provided and found an old duplex. The place was pretty run down. When I approached the front door I noticed the front drape pulled aside and closed again quickly. I heard children scurrying and whispering. Once I knocked it became silent as if no one was home. I knocked a second time and announced who I was loud enough to be heard through the closed door.

After a moment the woman I assumed to be the mother of the children answered the door. I smiled when I saw two children peering from behind her. The mother said, “Are you the person

going to be evicted so she does not know when she will be able to come back to work. Can you please check on this family? I would not ask if I did not think they were a deserving family.

Dear readers, I called the letter writer to verify some of the information and obtain a few more details.

The senior woman was overjoyed to hear it was The Time Is Now to Help calling to check in on her housekeeper and friend. We spoke on the phone for quite some time, and the senior woman shared many more details with me about her housekeeper. She told me how the woman and children

my friend told me would come?

I’m sorry we thought you were here to evict us. We have been afraid of everyone coming to our door.” I showed the woman my identification and gave her a brief explanation of The Time Is Now to Help and how we were indeed there to help.

The mother invited me inside their duplex. Considering they only had a few minutes notice from the senior woman calling to tell them I was on my way, the duplex looked orderly. The mother introduced me to the three children. The two youngest shyly continued to hide behind their mother. The oldest child said hello and watched me curiously. I spoke with all of them together for a few minutes and then the mother sent them to their rooms to play. The mother said to me, “I had never heard of The Time Is Now to Help until my friend showed me your column in the newspaper. I never heard of someone helping people like you do.” I explained to her how The Time Is Now to Help worked and how all of us come together to provide assistance.

Once she seemed comfortable with my questions, I asked the mother to collect her bills, late notices, check book and budget if she had one. I watched as she gathered all these items.

I questioned her financial and personal situation with her husband. The mother immediately had tears in her eyes when I asked about her wayward husband, but I needed to know all the details to provide the proper assistance.

The mother explained how her husband had family out of the country and most likely a girlfriend. He had not been a good father to the children and often spent all his money

drinking. He took what little they had left for rent and utilities and used it to leave the country.

The mother began to sob saying, “What am I going to do? How am I going to care for these children? How could he do this to us?” I knew the mother must now be strong and ready to face her challenges and I told her this. I handed her some tissues and told her to not waste her tears on a man that shirks his duties as father and husband.

The mother looked at me then as she wiped her eyes dry and said, “These tears are not for him. I will not waste any more tears on his empty heart. I am crying for my children that will suffer because of this.” I assured the mother we would be there to make sure the children and she did not suffer.

The first step was to figure out how this mother and children could survive on their own going forward. The mother could not work full-time because she didn’t have childcare. She would need to work as many hours as she could while the children were in school. She also would have to apply for rent and utility assistance and Foodshare. She would need our help to get through the next few months. Her rent was too high for her rental and her budget. I told her we would need to look into finding a smaller rental with lower rent. The mother said, “My husband insisted we rent this duplex. When I told him we would have a hard time paying the high rent, he didn’t care and rented it anyway. Our landlord was one of his drinking buddies and now he is mad my husband left without paying the rent. He is taking that out on me by calling and showing up all the time asking for his rent and threatening eviction. I tried to explain to him I do not know where my husband is, but he thinks I’m covering up for him.” I told the mother I would call the landlord and explain her situation. She gave me the phone number, and I called immediately. Once the landlord heard it was The Time Is Now to Help calling in her behalf he immediately apologized for his actions, explaining how this situation has happened to him several times in the past few years making him skeptical of these excuses. I assured him this was a very real situation where the mother and children were left helpless and penniless by the husband. The landlord immediately said he would not evict her. The landlord even suggested a more reasonable smaller rental he had that would be available in three weeks.

After speaking for a few more minutes, he agreed to forgive the back rent. I thanked him profusely for his caring heart for this mother and children.

Once the rent and utilities were discussed the mother and I talked about her car. The mother admitted she missed many of her cleaning jobs in the past six weeks because of her car breaking down. Since her husband had taken all their funds, she did not have the money to repair it. Repairs were scheduled to provide her with reliable, safe transportation.

I also asked about their food security. The mother admitted they had been eating mostly rice and beans and canned foods. I asked if she had been to the food pantry and she said she had not because of her car problems.

Once her car was repaired, she would be able to make the monthly trip to the food pantry to help with their food insecurity.

Until then, we provided grocery gift cards to be sure the children and mother had fresh healthy foods and toiletries.

I handed the mother a sheet of paper outlining all the areas we would be assisting with. She read through these and began to cry again. I again reminded her she must be strong for the children. She shook her head, saying, “I am crying because this help will not only keep me strong for my children, it will also probably save them. Where would we have been without The Time Is Now to Help?

Living in our old car in the cold with no food? These are happy tears, tears of joy because there are good people that care.”

After our assistance, the mother was able to move into the smaller rental. She was able to take on more cleaning jobs while the children were in school. Now that she had a reliable car, she could take on the extra workload knowing she would arrive safely and punctually. She is still waiting for her determination for assistance but with minimal help from all of us in the past few months she is working hard to be independent. She knows her children are counting on her, and she is determined to show them one of their parents is dependable. She can do this because of all of your generous donations. Thank you for making this possible.

This mother and children are four of the hundreds helped each year thanks to you. The new Family Foundation $30,000 matching grant opportunity is the perfect way for us to continue our goal of helping even more people in 2016.

Please consider a donation at this time knowing it will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling your donation. The lives changed are all because of you. Thank you and God bless you.

Local prosecutor participates in best practices meeting Lake County State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim, recently participated in a national meeting of statewide Best Practices Committees for Prosecutors.

Best Practices Committees are nonpartisan bodies of prosecutors that include elected and senior prosecutors from urban, suburban and rural districts throughout a state.

The committees serve as think tanks that gather, disseminate

and examine information on the latest developments in criminal justice and community safety.

Committee members discussed their progress and shared approaches to organizing and running a Best Practices Committee. Also in attendance were representatives from the National District Attorneys Association, the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the National

Juvenile Justice Prosecution Center at Georgetown University.

Presentations were given on the committees’ accomplishments. Key topics addressed included: eEthics training and outreach, bodyworn cameras, police use of force, partnerships with law schools and forensics.

Attendees also discussed the changing role of prosecutors. Participants shared

Reduced water testing rates offered The Lake County Health Department-Community Health Center will offer reduced water testing rates for owners of private wells from March 7 through 18.

The Department is offering a reduced rate in observance of National Ground Water Awareness Week.

During this time, the normal $18 analysis fee for testing for bacteria and nitrates will be reduced to $12. Sterile test bottles and sampling instructions are available at the Lake County Central Permit Facility, the main Health Department office at 3010 Grand Avenue in Waukegan, or at 16 separate township or municipal offices located throughout Lake County.

For a list of locations, call: (847) 377-8020, or visit:

health.lakecountyil.gov.

Water sampling kits can also be mailed for $15.

All collected water samples must be brought to the Lake County Central Permit Facility, 500 W. Winchester Road in Libertyville between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

Results of water samples are ready for homeowners in approximately three working days. If residents are uncomfortable with collecting these samples themselves, Health Department staff is available to go out to homes to collect the sample for a $56 fee, which includes an inspection of the well and the lab analysis for bacteria and nitrates.

“About 90,000 Lake County residents rely on groundwater from aquifers to supply

their private wells,” said Tony Beltran, the Health Department’s Executive Director.

“The Health Department encourages all users of private wells to take this time to have their drinking water tested, and to test it at least annually to see if it meets the minimum drinking water standards.”

National Groundwater Awareness Week is an annual observance sponsored by the National Groundwater Association to raise awareness of the importance of groundwater as a valuable resource, and the need for yearly water testing and well maintenance to prevent waterborne illness.

For further information on water testing, contact the Health Department at: (847) 377- 8020, or send an email to: HealthEHS@lakecountyil.gov.

the ways in which their jobs have evolved in recent years, including increased community outreach, alternatives to incarceration and intelligence-driven prosecution.

Illinois has developed a newly formed Best Practices Committee. Lake County State’s Attorney Nerheim is a current member of the committee. The committee is chaired by Joseph McMahon, Kane County State’s

Attorney.

“By working together with prosecutors from all over the nation, we are ensuring that we are employing the very latest and best approaches to ensure that we are effectively seeking justice on behalf of our respective communities. I am proud to be part of this effort,” Nerheim said.

“Existing committees have seen remarkable prog-

ress in a span of just a few years. There is growing excitement and momentum behind the best practices movement as prosecutors are taking the lead in improving the criminal justice system,” said Kristine Hamann, a former visiting fellow at the Bureau of Justice Assistance and former executive assistant district attorney in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

Fox Lake to host 2016 polar plunge Event supports Special Olympics

Instruction is provided by deputies and civilians in their field of expertise and is designed to provide a hands-on experience.

• Fire service share of bonded indebtedness, if any.

There were boxes to the right of each question for the voter to make a mark.

Once the petition is filed with the circuit court, a hearing would be scheduled for anyone wishing to challenge the petition. If there are no challenges, the question would be placed on the November 2016 ballot for village residents.

In separate actions, the fire protection district board must move to change the number of board members from three to five and then the township board, which is the current appointing authority, must change from an appointed to an elected board.

Representatives would then be elected at large in the spring of 2017 election. Until that time, the board would still op-

the clerk’s office or by mail.

Ballot printing was delayed because The Illinois State Board of Elections was reviewing objections filed against several U.S. presidential candidates. Without state certification of all the candidates, ballots could not be printed and voting across the state was delayed.

In-person early voting is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Feb. 26 at the Lake County Clerk’s office, 18 N. County St. Waukegan.

Registered voters wishing to vote by mail can complete a personalized online application at www.LakeVoterPower.info after logging in and confirming voter registration status. The last day to request a ballot by mail is March 10.

In spring of 2017, the two new members would be elected.

There would also be an election for the current member’s seat that would be up. As the terms of the other appointed members expired, elected board members would fill those seats.

Local officials are receptive to the current direction.

Trustee Peter Grant, who has been part of the joint fire committee since its inception, said, “I am happy that the community is moving toward creating an independent, autonomous, self-funded professional fire department that will answer directly to the taxpayers.”

Town Supervisor Steve Smouse said, “We fully support combining the fire service and the plan to petition to get the question on the November Ballot.”

This 1884 advertisement touting Seipp’s beer is among the artifacts in the collection of Black Point Estate, the summer home of Chicago beer baron Conrad Seipp.

Program features 117 years of Black Point artifacts Emily Larson, archivist of Black Point Estate, will present “Everything Speaks: Stories from the Black Point Collection,” at the Lake Geneva (Wis.) Public Library at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 24.

The program will feature real artifacts from Black Point Estate and images in a PowerPoint presentation including diaries, pictures, letters, trophies, brewing memorabilia and items from the 1893 World’s Fair.

Nearly every featured artifact to be revealed at the program has never been on display for the public. Over 117 years of family history is preserved in the Black Point collection.

Larson will explore the collection through key pieces that bring to life the bygone era of a Chicago family and their Wisconsin summer retreat. The program is sponsored by the Friends of the Lake Geneva Public Library. “‘Everything Speaks’ is one part Antiques Road Show, one part True Detective, and one part a whole lot of fun,” Larson said.

Larson is a recent college graduate and collections assistant and archivist at Black Point Estate who has spent the past two years

immersed in the collections of Black Point Estate. Last summer, she finished labeling more than 2,000 artifacts in the mansion, and is now beginning to research, preserve and present the artifacts that tell the Black Point family history in a way that only objects, papers and photographs can.

Under the direction of the Wisconsin Historical Society, Dave Desimone, director of Black Point Estate, and the museum’s staff are charged with promoting history and historic preservation of the Queen Anne Victorian summer “cottage” turned state historical museum on the shores of Geneva Lake.

Everyone is welcome to attend the program at no charge. More information can be obtained by calling the Lake Geneva Public Library at (262) 249-5299 or visit the library’s Facebook page or lakegeneva.lib. wi.us.

A solitary ice fisherman braves the winter elements during the Northern Illinois Conservation Club’s 56th Annual Ice Fishing Derby and Winter Festival held on Channel Lake at the Thirsty Turtle Brew and View Pub in Antioch on Sunday. The conservation club was formed in 1960 to encourage education, conservation and preservation of wildlife and their habitat. The weekend event has been their main fundraiser since. It is the longest continuously run winter event in Illinois. Over $4,000 in prizes were offered with hourly prizes awarded for the biggest and smallest fish. There were raffles and games for children and adults along with an auction followed by the main raffle. A portion of the proceeds from this event provides a scholarship to an area high school student.

Reduced water testing rates offered The Lake County Health Department-Community Health Center will offer reduced water testing rates for owners of private wells from March 7 through 18.

The Department is offering a reduced rate in observance of National Ground Water Awareness Week.

During this time, the normal $18 analysis fee for testing for bacteria and nitrates will be reduced to $12. Sterile test bottles and sampling instructions are available at the Lake County Central Permit Facility, the main Health Department office at 3010 Grand Avenue in Waukegan, or at 16 separate township or municipal offices located throughout Lake County.

For a list of locations, call: (847) 377-8020, or visit:

health.lakecountyil.gov.

Water sampling kits can also be mailed for $15.

All collected water samples must be brought to the Lake County Central Permit Facility, 500 W. Winchester Road in Libertyville between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

Results of water samples are ready for homeowners in approximately three working days. If residents are uncomfortable with collecting these samples themselves, Health Department staff is available to go out to homes to collect the sample for a $56 fee, which includes an inspection of the well and the lab analysis for bacteria and nitrates.

“About 90,000 Lake County residents rely on groundwater from aquifers to supply

their private wells,” said Tony Beltran, the Health Department’s Executive Director.

“The Health Department encourages all users of private wells to take this time to have their drinking water tested, and to test it at least annually to see if it meets the minimum drinking water standards.”

National Groundwater Awareness Week is an annual observance sponsored by the National Groundwater Association to raise awareness of the importance of groundwater as a valuable resource, and the need for yearly water testing and well maintenance to prevent waterborne illness.

For further information on water testing, contact the Health Department at: (847) 377- 8020, or send an email to: HealthEHS@lakecountyil.gov.

Lake County State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim, recently participated in a national meeting of statewide Best Practices Committees for Prosecutors.

Best Practices Committees are nonpartisan bodies of prosecutors that include elected and senior prosecutors from urban, suburban and rural districts throughout a state.

The committees serve as think tanks that gather, disseminate and examine information on the latest developments in criminal justice and community safety.

Committee members discussed their progress and shared approaches to organizing and running a Best Practices Committee. Also in attendance were representatives from the National District Attorneys Association, the Bureau of Justice Assistance and

the National Juvenile Justice Prosecution Center at Georgetown University.

Presentations were given on the committees’ accomplishments. Key topics addressed included: eEthics training and outreach, body-worn cameras, police use of force, partnerships with law schools and forensics.

Attendees also discussed the changing role of prosecutors. Participants shared the ways in which their jobs have evolved in recent years, including increased community outreach, alternatives to incarceration and intelligence-driven prosecution.

Illinois has developed a newly formed Best Practices Committee. Lake County State’s Attorney Nerheim is a current member of the committee. The committee is

chaired by Joseph McMahon, Kane County State’s Attorney.

“By working together with prosecutors from all over the nation, we are ensuring that we are employing the very latest and best approaches to ensure that we are effectively seeking justice on behalf of our respective communities. I am proud to be part of this effort,” Nerheim said.

“Existing committees have seen remarkable progress in a span of just a few years. There is growing excitement and momentum behind the best practices movement as prosecutors are taking the lead in improving the criminal justice system,” said Kristine Hamann, a former visiting fellow at the Bureau of Justice Assistance and former executive assistant district attorney in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

Fox River Park closed for tree removal Kenosha County (Wis.) Parks Director Jon Rudie has announced that Fox River Park, hiking trail, sledding hill and disc golf course is temporarily closed to the public due to unsafe conditions during the ash tree removal program that began Feb. 15.

Kenosha County Parks is in the process of having more than 2,600 ash trees removed by a logging company as part of the comprehensive emerald ash borer program.

The logging company is bringing in a second crew of loggers to begin work at Fox

River Park. Petrifying Springs Park will remain closed and is expected to reopen on Feb. 20.

Loggers will be working on the removal of ash trees within picnic areas, roadsides, parking areas and walking paths at both Fox River Park and Petrifying Springs Park.

The loggers are on a tight schedule to complete the removal of the trees and need to move and work uninterrupted in each park before the ground thaws.

To ensure the public is not placed in an unsafe situation

during the project, the parks will remain closed until the loggers complete their work.

Brighton Dale Park will also be closed when the loggers transfer operations to remove the ash trees there. Each park will reopen as soon as the loggers have finished the removal of the trees.

Openings and closings of each park will be updated on the Kenosha County Parks website at www. kenoshacounty.org. For more information, contact Kenosha County Parks at (262) 8571869.

PM&L to host ‘Fahrenheit 451’ Firemen in the future no longer stop fires, but start them by burning books. One of them has forbidden doubts and the consequences are great.

The performance is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 28, at 2:30 p.m. and will feature multimedia and live sound effects.

RG Productions is an award-winning group based in Kenosha, Wis., home to the legendary stage, radio and film icon, Orson Welles, and performs on stages and historical and modern venues throughout southeast Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

According to the show’s producer, Nita Hunter, the “Fahrenheit 451” story was never made into a radio play like many of Bradbury’s other stories, so Godula had to turn to the text to create one. “’Fahrenheit 451’s’ messages of freedom and speech,

and the consequences of losing them, still resonates today,” says Godula. “We think that the power of Ray Bradbury’s words, our sound and film enhancements and, most importantly, the commitment and talent of our actors make this a radio play not to be missed.”

The show features the following RG Productions members: Arsene Gerber, Kandy Helson, Jim Kollar, Tina Paukstelis, Jay Rattle and Amy-Louise Seyller.

The show is appropriate for

all ages.

Tickets are $10 for general seating. To reserve tickets directly through the box office, call (847) 395-3055. The box office is open Monday through Thursday, from 6 to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon and one-and-a-half hours before curtain on show dates.

D. Riggs of the robbery and he joined them in the search for Nelson and Such. Spotted on the railroad tracks and realizing that the duo was heading towards the train station, they prepared to apprehend the robbers.

While Weber and Riggs covered the railroad station, Siegler, armed with the rifle, secreted himself behind a cement traffic post. The duo was apprehended as they walked directly into Siegler’s path.

One month later, the team of Nelson and Such pleaded guilty to the crime of robbing the Spring Grove State Bank and were sentenced to 3 to 20 years in the Joliet penitentiary. In an article published in the McHenry Plaindealer, on Dec. 26, 1926, Nelson was described as an “ex-serviceman who faced considerable action in World War I in offensive drives and was wounded shortly before the end of the war.

He was further described as a first-time offender who was broke and desperate.

He viewed the robbery as a means to provide for his wife and 5-year-old daughter.

Nelson was paroled in 1933 and there is no record of his ever returning to prison for other offenses. While

“Baby Face” Nelson was terrorizing banks, the George Nelson responsible for the Spring Grove robbery was incarcerated in Joliet Federal prison.

So was this the infamous “Baby Face” Nelson or another George Nelson? Most likely it was another George Nelson as the Nelson who robbed the Spring Grove State Bank was 36 years old at the time of the robbery in 1926, while “Baby Face” Nelson was only 18 years of age at that time.

“Baby Face” would not have submitted to capture as quickly as the Spring Grove duo did. Additionally “Baby Face” Nelson was known for terrorizing banks in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin from 1930 until his death. Fatally injured in a shootout near Barrington in 1934, he is said to have escaped with his wife and partner John Chase.

Here the story seems to have several endings. According to one report, Nelson requested to be taken to see a priest in Wilmette. According to some reports that is where he died after seeing the priest.

According to other reports, Nelson was taken to a safe house and it was here that he expired with his body

then taken to Skokie or Niles Center and dropped along the road near a cemetery.

So while the story is enjoyed as folklore in Spring Grove, it was probably in the best interest of Floyd Foss that it wasn’t the infamous “Baby Face” Nelson, who was known for ending his robberies with a bloodbath.

Super ads? Not so much

Everything about the Super Bowl is super. Super teams. Super players. Super stadium. Super day. Super parties. Super national anthem. Super halftime show. Super fans. Super nacho cheese sauce in my slow cooker. And of course, my personal favorite, super commercials.

When it comes to the Super Bowl, football is only part of the day.

Advertisements during the big game have become so popular they create a conundrum for viewers.

When to replenish your beverage – during the game or during the commercials?

Doritos is almost as exciting as the game itself (not to mention the birth of a baby).

The anticipation grows during the days preceding Super Sunday. Which will have the better ad – Coke or Pepsi? Who’s not going to be themselves until they eat a Snickers bar?

How will the Clydesdales and Labrador pups tug at our heartstrings this year?

Unfortunately for me, they didn’t. The majestic horses weren’t teamed with little puppies in the name

of selling beer. Instead the company opted for a British actress who lectured viewers saying people who didn’t listen to her message were a, “shortsighted, utterly useless, oxygen-wasting human form of population.” While her message was a fine one, I’m not sure how calling millions of people useless will lead to increased beer sales. But I’m no advertising guru. Even so, I would have preferred a few puppies.

In a year where the Panthers faced the Broncos, it seemed fitting there were a number of ads that featured animals. I’m always in favor of a cutesy, clever critter commercial.

You’ve got to love the ingenuity and inspiration that went into the wiener dog ad. It takes nothing

short of creative brilliance to come up with the idea of dressing a wiener dog like a wiener. And then (wait for it…) multiplying the effect with dozens of wiener dogs and having them run toward people dressed as giant bottles of ketchup, mustard and other assorted condiments. That’s the exact sort of unique cleverness I tune in to see each year – even though this one made me lose my appetite.

I enjoyed the talking grizzly bears, especially the one that claimed to be vegan. (Gotta love the sarcastic humor of bears.)

Another favorite was the sheep singing a classic Queen song. A cappella. In perfect harmony. Who even knew sheep could sing?

The marmot spot pushed

a bunch of cuteness buttons.

Plus it educated a few of us about marmots, which I’ve always called ground hogs.

Prior to last Sunday, I’d never even heard of a marmot.

Varmint, yes. Marmot no.

Not that I’m mistaking one for the other. But if it looks like a rodent and walks like a rodent…

I’ve saved the best for last.

One word: puppy-monkeybaby. By creating a creature with the head of a pug dog, the body and tail of a monkey and legs of a baby (complete with diaper) the ad coined a new term for all things weird in less than 30 seconds. Plus the little critter had a rattle and wasn’t afraid to shake it.

I used to be afraid of clowns.

Now I have to worry about a puppy-monkey-baby hiding under my bed.

The Super Bowl: more than 100 million people tuned in this year – some to watch the game, some to watch the commercials (and all to eat nachos). Now we wait. For a whole 12 months to see which teams make it to the big game and which commercials to our flat screens.

Like many of us, I’ll be watching eagerly to find out.

Because as effective as the marmot and monkey-puppybaby were, next year I really hope they bring back the horses and the puppies.

Susan Haugland (left) and Tim Mocarski are now regulars at Burlington’s Coffee House at Chestnut and Pine open mic night on Thursdays. Mocarski (inset) completed 200 open mic nights across southeast Wisconsin – and in the country – in 2015.

shy of 200.

He proceeded to pack 14 open mic nights into 20 days, the last of which was at the Coffee House at Chestnut and Pine. A regular at that event since its inception, the performance was fitting for Mocarski.

“If he wasn’t there, I imagine him to be there in spirit,” said Erickson of the few Thursday nights Mocarski doesn’t make it to Burlington. “If he’s anywhere within one state away, he’ll be there on Thursdays.”

A new take on life Mocarski has been “making music” – his words – for about 40 years. In most of that time, though, he was also an English teacher at Burlington High School and a devoted husband to his wife,

Cathie.

With Wisconsin public education going through a change in 2011 due to Act 10, Mocarski made the decision to retire. His wife, meanwhile, became progressively disabled due to an autoimmune disorder – and Mocarski became her primary caregiver.

Cathie died in early 2013, and Mocarski found himself gravitating back to his music. With the Thursday open mic night set up at the Coffee House, he took his first step on stage Music expresses there. that which cannot be “I remember being very said and on which nervous,” Mocarski recalled. it is impossible “I thought I was Leo Kottke (a famous acoustic guitarist), to be silent. and I soon discovered that the – Victor Hugo only connection between me and him was that I have shaky

leg syndrome.

“I was nervous,” he added. “But that nervousness has gone away over the time.”

Making his voice heard

Perhaps ironically, Mocarski never directly put together the link between being an English teacher and his habit of sketching out songs and lyrics.

“I suppose there is one,” Mocarski said. “Writers, musicians, indeed all artists, see the world and try to get those experiencing the art to see it the same way.

“If that makes sense,” he added.

Mocarski uses real life to inspire his music – both what he takes the time to write himself, and what he performs at any number of open mic events throughout the area.

A typical evening at an open mic night for him might include a song by artists ranging from Pete Seeger to Van Morrison, as well as an original song.

The original music, Mocarski said, is influenced by “what is affecting me at the time.”

Mocarski has written songs after his wife died, based on topical events in the news, and even songs based on another performer. He started seriously exploring writing his own music after he retired in 2011.

Of course, Mocarski’s music wouldn’t be complete without mentioning his love for baseball. While many Wisconsinites talk about the Green Bay Packers during fall and winter, Mocarski frequently posts the days until spring training begins.

Is it any wonder, then, that one of his favorite original pieces is, “If They Don’t Have Baseball in Heaven, I’m Not Going”?

And as Mocarski has grown on the stage with Haugland Milestones hit – and set joining him, Erickson has seen an evolution.

Mocarski made no secret the last open mic of “He’s like a rock, and she’s right there with 2015 should be in Burlington. him,” Erickson explained. “They are, actually,

“I wanted it to be here,” he said. “The kind of a delightful couple. They play off Coffee House is just such a welcoming each other quite well, and it’s kind of place.”

Music has been my infectious.”
