Parish nurse program serves community’s elderly

Nurse for a need

By Sandra Landen Machaj CORRESPONDENT

While parish nurses have been around for many years there are still relatively few communities that are fortunate enough to support a parish nurse. Antioch is one such community. Through the parish nurse program local churches are able to support members of the community in achieving optimal health. While the program is supported by several churches, services to those in need are open to all community members. For the past five years, Gloria Stevens a registered nurse, with experience in hospital care, home care and who has worked on the insurance side of health care, has served as the parish nurse for the Antioch Faith Community. As part of the Advocate Health Care Faith Community Nursing, she is supported by St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church, St. Ignatius Episcopal Church, and the United Methodist Church as she helps Antioch residents work toward better health. The Advocate Health Care system first established its parish nurse program in 1984 at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, as an ecumenical program that included three Lutheran, two Roman Catholic, and one Methodist congregation. In 1989 the Evangelical Health System also developed a program for Parish nursing with three congregations in the city of

Chicago. With the merging of these systems into Advocate Health Care in 1995, the parish nurse programs were united. The name was changed in 2015 to Faith Community Nursing with an emphasis on the promotion of an integral model of health to prevent and reduce

illness. The Antioch Parish Nurse program is a part of the Faith Community Nursing program of the Advocate Health Care system. Education is the focus According to Stevens, the program is not the same as traditional public health services. “We do not work on providing

direct patient care, but rather focus on providing education for health and wellness,” she said. That does not mean that Stevens is not actively engaged with her clients. She makes home visits and hospital visits. She works with the

Voters in Antioch School District 34 will see a referendum on the April 4 ballot that asks permission for the school district to continue its mill rate at the current level to accommodate building upgrades. The district is retiring debt and approving this referendum would keep current taxation at the same rate or possibly lower, according to district administrator Jay Martino. The district has plans to upgrade several buildings that require a total of $25.6 million. The referendum will ask taxpayers permission to establish a debt service base of $1.4 million. The district’s annual borrowing would be capped at that amount until 2034. Not all the funds would come from the taxpayers. The district has $6.8 million in re-

ed by volunteers is offered. The lunch is held at St. Ignatius Episcopal Church and the guests are referred to as the Golden Gems – people who are at least 80 years old. The lunch is free to the members attending and includes a complete a meal served while the guests socialize. “Older people frequently don’t bother to cook for themselves and settle for something simple so we provide a full meal,” Stevens said. The time is well spent as some of the homebound residents have a chance to socialize. This month’s luncheon celebrated Valentine’s Day with salad, pasta with red sauce and meatballs and a wide array of homemade desserts. The program, presented by a home care company, explained ways seniors can remain safe if they choose to remain in their homes. The group attending was active and cheerful – some with walkers and one in a wheelchair – yet many of the seniors are active in helping others. Carol Maplethorne, at the age of 91, is in charge of a program called Telecare, which started in 1973. Telecare volunteers make calls each morning to those who are alone in their homes to chat and brighten their day. It is also a way of providing a wellness check. Seniors who do not have family nearby are grateful for the Feeding souls service.

The knitting group meets at St. Ignatius Church on the second Monday of the month. Volunteers are welcome. Volunteers are also needed for a variety of projects – from driving patients to doctor appointments and for visits to anyone in the community who is unable to get out themselves. Those interested should contact Stevens

at (847) 395-5533 or Gloria. stevens@advocatehealth. com to learn more about the program or to volunteer. While watching the Golden Gems greet Stevens with a look of friendship and gratitude for all she has brought into their lives, it is easy to see she provides a much-needed service. Stevens is the first to say, “It is a faith community nurse ministry, not just me.” But it is clear she promotes healthier and more active lives for members of the community.

“We are able to provide so many knitted pieces to keep the homeless warm because of donations of yarn. We had a donation of five large garbage bags full of new yarn that we are still using,” she said. They have also provided up to 75 sweaters and hats for premature infants.

patient and family to aid them in arranging home care. She often directs them to agencies that can provide equipment needed for home use, such as wheelchairs or walkers, and finds volunteers to take them to doctor visits. Dealing with an older population, heart disease and diabetes are two of the most prevalent chronic illnesses in the community. “We bring out speakers from various local hospitals, including Lutheran General and Condell, to speak to the community,” Stevens said. “Wellness is always the focus.” Condell Hospital has provided CPR and AED training for caregivers and helpers so they are prepared if an emergency occurs. Topics for health programs include good nutrition, safety, and need for exercise. Stevens shared a yearly activity, the annual Walking to Jerusalem Program that the program has sponsored for the past five years. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, members of the group track their steps and then report how much they have walked each week. It is recorded to show the progress the group as a whole has completed in walking 6,210 miles, the distance from Antioch to Jerusalem. “The distance isn’t as important as the fact that they are all working to improve their activity level.”

When the Kenosha County, Wis., Sheriff’s Department made the tough decision to euthanize its K9 officer in late November, the loss of Klaus left a gaping hole in its K9 unit. Klaus, who served the community for five years, suffered internal bleeding and had masses on his spleen, which made him ill. But the Kenosha County Tavern League stepped in to help, with a $10,000 donation to the Sheriff’s Department at its annual Ice Fishing Derby at Bella Vita Banquet Hall Feb. 25 in New Munster, Wis., where Sheriff David Beth thanked the organization for filling the void. “These dogs are for tracking and for drugs. Those are the two big things that they do. They are very useful,” Beth said in an address to the tavern league. “This is mind boggling. I thought maybe they would donate maybe $500, a couple hundred dollars,” Beth said afterwards. “This is going to help us basically cover all costs on the K9 unit, we already reserved a spot for March.” The plan, according to Beth, is to pair the new K9 officer with Sheriff’s Deputy John Lanctot, who was Klaus’ partner until the dog was euthanized. With Lanctot’s training, grooming the K9 could take less time, Beth added.

“We already had an officer that had Klaus before, so he is going to get the next K9,” Beth said. “This is going to be huge for us.” Before Klaus’ death, Lanctot and the K9 were active on the Interstate 94 corridor, and made hundreds of drug and criminal arrests from September 2011 until last November. Additionally, the duo conducted demonstrations at area schools, including Salem Grade and Trevor-Wilmot Consolidated schools, Lanctot said at Klaus’ memorial service in December. As the Sheriff’s Department awaits its newest partner, Beth hopes to have a K9 unit on each shift, he said in Saturday’s address. “Our goal, hopefully in the near future, is to have one on each shift,” he said. “So, we are working on getting another one too.” Sheriff’s Deputy Terry Tifft, who partners with Riggs, said the partnership extends beyond law enforcement. “The bond, I don’t think it ever stops,” Tifft said.

Antioch has long offered benefits to the mayor Practice has been in place for at least a decade

By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT

When Antioch Village Board Trustee Ed Macek initially asked questions in a public meeting recently about the village funding health insurance for Mayor Larry Hanson, little was said about the practice. Joy McCarthy, the village’s director of finance and assistant village administrator, explained in a telephone interview that providing insurance and retirement benefits for the mayor has been a longstanding practice in the village – at least as long as she can remember. “In 2001,” McCarthy said, “the Illinois retirement system approved giving the individual in the position of mayor retirement benefits.” Hanson says he has paid into the system for his years in office. “I checked back and I think that the mayor – as far back as Taso Maravelas – received these benefits,” Hanson said. “I didn’t know I would get these until I was in office for six months,” Maravelas was mayor from 2001 to 2005. Figures taken from the 2017 budget project the mayor’s den

tal, medical, and life insurance premiums and retirement payments to be $360; $10,000; $300 and $1,294, respectively. However, McCarthy said the figures in the 2017-2018 budget are not exact. The amount for health insurance includes money for an account similar to a health care spending account. “We know what the premium costs,” she said, “and we estimate the other. We cover some costs for the health care in order to keep the premium costs down.” The actual expenses for the same items in 2016 were $1,096, $6,762, $300 and $1,300 for a total of $9,488. The mayor is the only elected official who receives these benefits and no board resolution approving this has been found, according to the village clerk. Macek, in a telephone interview, said his question about the practice remains unanswered. “The health care laws have changed and I’m not sure we can discriminate against folks in the same class,” he said. “I have asked Village Attorney Bob Long for a written opinion on the issue,” Macek said.

Hair-raising experience

Animal handler Jon Heidler coiffs mom Christine Nichols with an iguana named “Iggy Azalea” while her son, Broden, 5, (far right) exhibits his incredulity during the Mother-Son Luncheon and Exotic Animal Show held at the Antioch Senior Center, 817 Holbeck Dr., Antioch, on Sunday. As a counterpoint to the Daddy-Daughter Dance held last month, mothers and sons were afternoon dates at the third annual event, which was sponsored by the Antioch Parks and Recreation Department. After a feast of pizza, salad, ice cream, and cookies, attendees were entertained with Dave DiNaso’s Traveling World of Reptiles. In addition to Iggy, the show also featured tortoises of varying ages and sizes and snakes, one of which was a 50-pound, 14-foot-long ball python named “Cleopatra.” Ball pythons of Cleopatra’s size are able to consume a whole pig and can grow to over 200 pounds. After the performance, moms and sons had the opportunity to pet one of the reptilian performers.

serves that could be used and is essentially asking for $18.8 million. Antioch Upper Grade School would remain as is, as would Hillcrest School. Those are the two newest schools and don’t currently need upgrades. Oakland and Petty schools are older and need improvements to make sure that all buildings provide the same type of facilities for all students, according to school officials. The plan is to install air conditioning in facilities that lack it, separate gym and cafeteria spaces in schools where those spaces are shared and address fluctuations in class size. Currently, the district uses 16 portable classrooms. These are not ideal spaces and students must travel to outside in inclement weather. Martino said using the portable classroom also raises concerns about student safety.

Renovations would make the schools more energy efficient and there would be some savings from that, according to Martino. “We are coming to the community with a concept plan,” Martino said. “We don’t want to spend money on more definite plans until we know we have a successful referendum.” The district has taken a creative approach in community involvement in this proposal. During the past year, the district has sought active community involvement. “We have held three community discussions,” Martino said, “and we have crafted our concept plan to include ideas from those who attended those meetings.” This is a change from the usual method of simply bringing plans to the community and explaining what will happen. Population studies show a

possible 14 to 17 percent decrease in school population but, Martino said, the district has been working with Antioch Village Administrator Jim Keim, who has kept them up to date with the increases in home building in The Clublands and NeuHaven Homes subdivisions. “We expect that new families who come into Antioch in the new homes will offset an expected drop in birth rates and it will be a wash,” Martino said. If the referendum fails, the property taxes on a home valued at $200,000 will drop by $168 a year. The district also plans to create neighborhood schools, housing kindergarten to fifth grade in three schools to provide more continuity for students by allowing them to remain in the same building longer. Additional information is available on the school website, www.antioch34.com.

Village to host poetry slam series this year The Village of Fox Lake announced a partnership with Studio 25 Art Creations to offer Poetry Slams on the third Thursday of each month beginning on April 20. The events will begin at 6 p.m. at Studio 25 Art Creations, 5 Nippersink Blvd., Fox Lake.

These community poetry slams are open to first timers as well as seasoned veterans. All are encouraged to perform, according to organizers. “This addition of spoken word performance adds to our mission of bringing more art,

both spoken and visual, to the residents of Fox Lake and beyond, strengthening engagement throughout,” said Fox Lake Community Development Director Donovan Day. There will be a cover charge of $5 for adults and $3 for students. Attendees are free to bring their own snacks while soda and water will be available for purchase. Attendees older than the age of 21 are welcome to bring beer or wine with valid ID. All performers need to register no later than April 13.

Anthony Penna and Deputy Michael Urgo were named 2016 Officers of the Year in McHenry County on Feb. 21, according to the Sheriff’s Office. They were both honored for their professional handling of a shootout with a murder suspect on April 15, 2016. According to the release, a stolen car was traced to McHenry County and was believed to be in the possession of Gerald Boyes Jr., a convicted violent felon who authorities believed was responsible for the murders of his father, Gerald Boyes Sr., 74, and the latter’s companion, Billie Potter, 67, in Paduach, Ky. Penna, Urgo and two Lake County Sheriff’s deputies tracked the car to a residen-

tial area. The four officers approached the car after shouting commands for the driver to follow, according to the release. According to the release, Boyes then reached over to the passenger side and picked up a firearm. Consequently, all four deputies fired and Boyes was fatally wounded. “I am proud of Sgt. Penna and Deputy Urgo for helping to bring this crime spree to a close,” McHenry County Sheriff Bill Prim said. “I am honored to be both a nominee, and recipient of this award. This is an award for not only myself, but all of the law enforcement officers that were involved in the resolution of this incident,” Deputy Urgo said.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office has taken several reports over the past few weeks from residents saying they received telephone calls informing them of the existence of an arrest warrant against them. The caller identifies himself as a police officer from the sheriff’s department and informs the person that a warrant was issued for one or several different reasons, for instance, failing to appear for jury duty. The resident is then directed to another phone number in order to arrange for payment. The Sheriff’s Office reminds residents that the

The time is now to help

Daughter moves in with her struggling father We are happy to announce we have successfully matched the Fox Charities New Year Wish $25,000 matching grant. Fox Charities has been such a generous supporter of all the good works we do together to alleviate the pains of poverty in our communities. Their generosity and inspiration has meant we have been able to continue to provide life-changing assistance to thousands of people over the past 9 years. There are not enough ways we can say thank you to Fox Charities and all of you who have been touched by their generous offer to double your donations. We are busy using these funds to remove the pains of poverty for many senior citizens, the handicapped, working poor families, children and single mothers throughout our communities. Soon we will share with you where every penny of the Fox Charities New Year Wish $25,000 matching grant was spent. We are also happy to announce we have been provided a new matching grant opportunity, the Family Foundation 2017 $30,000 matching grant, to begin immediately. Last year the Family Foundation provided their first $30,000 matching grant and they were amazed by not only your enthusiastic matching of that grant, but also all we accomplished together. We are so very grateful for our matching grant contributors and all the poverty relief their inspiration provides. God bless the Family Foundation, Fox Charities and all of you for making our mission to remove the

pains of poverty a reality for so many of our fellow creations throughout our communities. Dear W.C., I am a 60-year-old grandfather that is unable to work since I had surgery over eight weeks ago. I went in for what was supposed to be a simple outpatient procedure that ended up turning into two different five-day stays in the hospital and weeks of pain and infections. My daughter and two grandchildren live with me after she escaped an abusive relationship. My daughter just got a full time job but the day care costs eat up a large part of her paycheck. I used to be able to help with the kids when she worked nights as a waitress but now I am unable to do any lifting or running after the children. This whole medical problem has been a nightmare and gone on for over eight weeks. I never dreamed of being in this position at this point in my life. My wife died several years ago and the only other family I have is my son who lives out of state and is in no position to help his sister or I. I wanted to give my daughter and grandchildren a better life by having them move in with me. Now I’m in no position to help them or myself.

Dear Readers, I went to visit the grandfather and family at the address listed in his letter of request. The door to the modest home was opened by a thin man that I knew was not quite a senior citizen yet looked older than the age he had stated in his letter. If this was the gentleman that had written the letter explaining his long road to recovery after an outpatient surgery took a devastating turn it had definitely taken a lot out of him. He was stooped and still looked gravely ill. I introduced myself and I saw the first glimpse of a smile when he realized who was at his door. After introducing ourselves, and indeed learning this was the man that had been through a medical nightmare, he invited me inside. The man explained the house was quiet due to his daughter being at work and grandchildren were at daycare. He took me on a short tour around the small home and I saw the evidence of children living there by the toys on the coffee table and the high chair in the kitchen. He showed me the room his daughter shared with the two children that contained a twin bed and a portable crib. I asked if they all slept in there and the man explained his daughter did share the room with the two children because she felt safer sleeping with them. I noted there was only one sagging twin bed and he showed me the mat his daughter rolled out on the floor to sleep on. While we walked to the living room to talk the man told me about his daughter’s

domestic abuse situation, and how her abuser was recently arrested on other charges that should put him in jail for a long time. They all felt relieved knowing he would not be bothering them any time soon. I made a note that if their assistance from The Time is Now to Help was approved we would provide the daughter with a new double bed to allow her to sleep on a bed and not on the floor. As we sat down to talk I noted the way he held his abdomen and slowly lowered himself to his chair. I asked the man about the surgery and he told me all the details of his long ordeal. What should have been an outpatient procedure with a short recovery had turned into nearly ten weeks of recovery since the procedure. Several infections then followed the botched procedure that required an additional hospital stay with IV antibiotics and another repair surgery. His job was on hold but he could not return to his physically active occupation until he was fully recovered, and it was easy to see he was not close to fully recovered yet. The man showed me his incisions and mounting medical bills. I asked to see their other bills and he shared their utility bill and house payments were behind. He also said his daughter was using his truck to get to her job right now because her car was broke down and they did not have the money to repair it. I asked to see the car and after seeing it would be worth repairing set it up for service. After reviewing the bills and

seeing they were indeed having a very hard few months I asked some further questions of the gentleman. I asked about his lack of savings at his age. The man said, “My wife had breast cancer that was very aggressive. We used all our savings to try and save her. We even tried some alternative procedures that we had hoped would work when nothing else stopped the cancer. They helped for awhile but they were so expensive and the insurance would not pay any of them.” The man began to cry when he said, “She got to see our oldest grandchild be born and then she couldn’t hold on any longer. She stopped all her treatments and gave up. It all made her so sick and she was in so much pain.” He wiped his eyes before continuing, “I’m glad she didn’t have to see what our daughter went through with her ex-husband. It would have broken her heart to learn what both she and the grandchildren went through.” I asked the man some more questions about the daughter’s present situation with her ex to make sure they were indeed in a safe place now. He was happy to share he would be in jail for a long time and his daughter was now free to work and live her life without fear. Once I was assured they could continue to live in their home both financially and physically safe I told the man we would pay both his overdue utility bill and very reasonable house payment. The man again got tears in his eyes and tried to quickly wipe them

away. He said, “I am a proud Christian man. I have prayed on this situation we are in for many weeks. I would never have thought to write you a letter until my pastor suggested it. Now I see how God has worked through you to provide assistance to so many people in need. You are a life saver for my family and I. How can I ever thank you?” I explained to him about how all of you and your generosity are what allow me to do our good works together. He answered, “Well you can bet I will be including all those good people in my prayers too and thanking them endlessly.” After our assistance, which included not only the utilities and house payment but also the daughters car repair, a new mattress, toiletries and some household necessities, they were able to pick up the pieces once the grandfather returned to work a month later. He told me he has been able to take it slow and his employer even hired an assistant for the heavy lifting and physically demanding portion of his job. We have together removed the pains of poverty for this family that has been through so much already. At my last visit the man broke into tears and looking into my eyes he said, “I cannot thank everyone from The Time Is Now to Help enough for lifting us up and putting our lives back together. Every time I opened the mail I wondered how I would be able to pay that bill. Every time I touched the

Area man gets nine years for sex with girl Judge rejects probation recommendation based on seriousness of crime

STAFF WRITER

Despite a recommendation for probation, a judge sentenced an Illinois man to nine years in the state prison system on Feb. 27 for having sex with a 12-year-old girl in Lake Geneva, Wis. Adam M. Rhodes, 23, of Kildeer, was sentenced Feb. 27 in Wa l w o r t h County Circuit Court to three years of initial confinement in state prison and six Adam M. years exRhodes tended supervision for second-degree sexual assault. Rhodes pleaded guilty to the charge, which was reduced from the original charge of first-degree sexual assault of a child younger than 13. As part of the plea deal, the district attorney’s office agreed to make no sentencing recommendation. A pre-sentencing investigator with the state Department of Corrections recommended probation for Rhodes, but Judge Phil Koss disagreed with the recommendation. “In my opinion, probation clearly depreciates the seriousness of the event,” he

said. According to the criminal complaint, Rhodes met a girl whom he knew was 12 years old on Kik Messenger and twice met her in person in Lake Geneva in 2015 where they had sexual intercourse in a car. Koss said the goals of his sentence are punishment and to deter others in similar situations. “And frankly, I just don’t want a world where 12-yearolds can have sex and (the perpetrators) get probation,” he said. The pre-sentencing investigation painted a picture of Rhodes as a pot-smoker who did little but hang out in basements and play video games, Koss said. He rejected the investigator’s opinion that Rhodes having sex with a 12-year-old girl was situational. “I just can’t imagine … I went to school in the ‘70s. I knew plenty of stoners. They weren’t hanging out with 12-year-olds,” he said. “To say that this is situational … You’re out there seeking it.” The girl’s mother addressed the court before the sentence was handed down. “From my point out of view, this didn’t just affect one or two people,” she said.

“My child is not 100 percent innocent in this, but, by law, I don’t feel she is capable to make any decision regarding this situation.” Koss agreed. He said laws regarding consent exist because children younger than 16 years old “don’t have the ability to make good decisions about these things.” “There’s only one adult in this room that’s responsible, and that’s you, Mr. Rhodes,” he said. “She’s too young to blame any of this on her. The culpability is 100 percent yours.” The sexual relationship between Rhodes and the girl was discovered somewhat by accident via text messages in which the girl referred to Rhodes as “Daddy,” which Koss said is “disturbing in itself.” Koss also agreed with the victim’s mother that the incident affected multiple people including the girl’s family and Rhodes’ family – intact parents who raised Rhodes to “be a nice guy.” “His parents clearly are upset by this. Child abuse always has a ripple effect,” Koss said. “You’ve embarrassed and hurt your family” and hurt the victim and her family. Rhodes’ father, Kevin Rhodes, also addressed the

court before sentencing. He apologized to the girl and her family and described his son as a kind and polite person who would “never do anything like this again.” “He is a good kid,” Kevin Rhodes said. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Rhodes also addressed the court through tears. “I never wanted to hurt anyone,” he said. “I’m really sorry to the family. I never stopped to think about what this would do to everyone.” Rhodes’ attorney, public defender Michelle Anderson, said Rhodes has been involved in sex offender treatment in Illinois while the case has been pending for the past 16 months. She said he is in school, and, in treatment, has shown no tendencies toward pedophilia. Koss agreed that Rhodes is not a pedophile nor was the crime vicious or violent, but he said the offense is too grave for probation as punishment. “I appreciate that you’ve gotten treatment,” he said. “But there are some crimes that are just too serious.”

ABOUT THE AMSOIL CHAMPIONSHIP SNOCROSS The AMSOIL Championship Snocross series stop at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa is the Nielsen Enterprises Grand Finale, featuring the best snowmobile racers in the world competing for year-end championships. The International Series of Champions bills itself as the premier snowmobile race sanctioning organization in North America and sanctions national AMSOIL Championship Snocross, in addition to affiliating with nine regional circuits. “AMSOIL Championship Snocross series’ grand finale at Grand Geneva Resort and Spa is without a doubt one of snowmobiling’s marquee global events of the year,” said Carl Schubitzke, ISOC president/race director said. “Lake Geneva is where we crown our champions. It doesn’t get any bigger than AMSOIL Championship Snocross at Lake Geneva. “And the conditions are going to be perfect this year for the world’s premier professional snowmobile racers.” Grand Geneva is home to the Mountain Top ski area that will supply the snow-making equipment to create the racecourse, which will resemble a lunar-like surface, complete with massive jumps, fast-cornering berms and tricky rhythm sections, according to race organizers. “Our staff and guests look forward to the AMSOIL Championship Snocross event each year and we’re honored to continue to be the host property for such an incredible event,” said Tom

Mason, general manager of Grand Geneva Resort and Spa. “Snocross is one of The Mountain Top’s premier events each winter season.” The Lake Geneva event is the eighth and final stop of the national tour series for the 2016-17 season. The event will feature three full days of racing in a variety of classes – from juniors to amateurs to professionals.

very year, some of the best snowmobile riders in the world travel to Lake Geneva, Wis., to wrap up the Snocross racing season and name the cream of the crop. The AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series Nielsens Grand Finale is set for March 17 to 19 at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa and will welcome back the tour’s best racers, including some local talent. Returning to the championship round are Burlington’s Ross Martin, Kenosha’s Kody Kamm and Mukwonago’s Justin Broberg. The Lake Geneva finale wraps up the season that began at Thanksgiving. “This time of year is my favorite time of the year,” Martin said. “It’s starting to get warmer and the track is slippery. It’s not so bitter cold so more people come out to watch and it makes it a lot more fun.” Martin races on the Judnick Motorsports team and has a long list of accomplishments in the sport, including winning the 2009-2010 AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series in the Pro class, being named ACSS Pro Open champ twice, and is the two-time AMSOIL Dominator Championships winner. Martin has also medaled four times in the Winter X-Games, three silver and one

bronze. Martin is one of the Snocross veterans at 32, and said he still loves every minute of it. “I’ve always been real competitive, ever since I can remember,” Martin said. “Lining up with the guys, getting a few wins on the podium is what it’s all about.” Martin said he started racing snowmobiles when he was about 14 or 15 and has been on the

HI-LITER • WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 2017 • 11 Judnick Motorsports team since he was 17 or 18. “I just enjoy racing,” Martin said. “It kind of started as a hobby. I was racing dirt bikes at 9 and then we tried racing snowmobiles one winter, because you can’t race dirt bikes in the snow, and it went pretty well and it just took off. It was always racing for me after that. No school activities for me, just racing since I was little.” Kamm, 23, tells a similar story of getting started in snowmobile racing. “I’ve always raced dirt bikes growing up. But living in Wisconsin makes it hard to race dirt bikes in wintertime. I started riding snowmobiles at Doug Gust’s house, he got me into riding, and then it just took off from there. I was 13 or 14.” Kamm, who races for Hentges Racing, sat out last year’s grand finale in Lake Geneva because of an injury, but will return to competition this year. “I was still there with the team,” Kamm said. “I had a shoulder injury from a crash in January. I had surgery and it’s fine now, but I have another injury I’m battling now, It’s the same shoulder but different area, from another crash two weeks ago.” Kamm said he is still able to race with treatment and was looking forward to another run in the grand finale. While both Martin and Kamm said they loved the racing season, there were some drawbacks, one of those is the time away from home. Martin said he was lucky because his wife, Kim, travels with him to every race and has for years. “She’s been coming with me since I started on this team, since I was 17 or

18,” Martin said. Kamm, who lives in Minnesota during the racing season, said he hasn’t been home to Kenosha much since the season began. “Pretty much, the only time I’ve been home was for the six days over Christmas break, That’s all the time I’ve been home this winter, I’m gone the whole time.” Martin said the other thing that is tough on riders is when the weather gets bitter cold. “But it’s just your hands that get cold because we wear thin gloves,” Martin said. “Your fingers get a little frostbite, but that’s about it. It’s not like you get cold racing. By the time we’re done, we’re dripping with sweat.” Martin added that the weather this year has been a different challenge for the most part, as it’s been warmer than normal for most of the races. “There have been a couple of real cold ones, but we’ve had a lot of wet tracks this year. And smaller tracks because there’s not enough snow. It makes things a bit harder when you’re racing and the water is being sprayed up from the guy in front of you. It’s like riding in a monsoon.” However, Martin said those couple of challenges in no way damper his fun or love of racing. “Racing as a career is a dream come true for me,” he said. “To make it a career, to make money off it, it’s always a goal of mine. I never really knew if it would happen or not, so this is just a dream come true.” Kamm agreed, “I just love to race snowmobiles and being at the races with my team is a lot of fun. I just really enjoy it and look forward to it every year.”

Show time: Geneva Theater back in business By Vicky Wedig STAFF WRITER

The Geneva Theater in Lake Geneva, Wis., opened its doors to movie-goers Friday for the first time in years. Burlington, Wis., businessman Shad Branen bought the 89-year-old theater on Broad Street in April and began $2 million in renovations. Ontario native Daniel Colwell was brought on as the theater’s general manager in November. The theater was built in 1928 by Community Theaters and has gone through several owners through the years, said Ken Etten, of the Friends of the Geneva Theater group, which formed in 2011 to restore the venue. In the 1970s, Standard Theaters owned the site and built an addition on the north side in 1975, Etten said. In 1985, Esseness Theaters split the venue into four theaters – a main theater and balcony theater in the original part of the building and two theaters in the north addition, he said. From 2004 to 2007, the parent company of the Showboat of Lyons, the other movie theater in town, operated both venues, Colwell said. After the Showboat company stopped operating the downtown theater, a Chicago businessman operated stage productions in the theater until around 2009, he said. In 2010, the building was vacated, and some Lake Geneva area residents formed the Friends of the Theater in 2011, Etten said. The group’s aim was to convince the city to help buy the building and restore it as community arts center, he said. Branen bought the building nearly a year ago and restored it to the four-theater model created in the 1980s. Colwell said Mother Nature had wreaked havoc on the building as it sat vacant for about seven years.

VICKY WEDIG Hi-Liter

Geneva Theater General Manager Daniel Colwell stands outside the 89-year-old theater, which has gotten a facelift with new lighting and a new façade reminiscent of the original.

“The water damage was horrendous,” Colwell said. The building was gutted, mold remediated, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems replaced and four theaters created inside, he said. Colwell said when he was hired, old movie projectors from the 1970s were still inside the building rusted together. The old marquee was removed from the outside and a new sign and lighting – reminiscent of the original – were erected along with a new façade. The new theaters hold 214, 101, 92 and 78 spectators, respectively. Special seating with larger seats and stainless steel tables can be rented in the back of the theaters. Three of the theaters are on the main level, and a balcony theater on the second floor boasts the largest screen and a 92-person capacity. A party room upstairs with a view of Broad Street can be rented, and a dance studio has expressed interest in rehearsing in another second-floor space, Colwell said. The theater passed inspections Friday and began business with one feature – “Logan,” a superhero movie featuring the character Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman. Eventually each of the four theaters will feature a different movie with “Beauty and the

Beast” coming next, Colwell said. The lobby of the new theater has an area where historical artifacts from the venue will be displayed, a “selfie” room with movie posters where movie-goers can photograph themselves with their movie display, and concessions with the usual movie fare along with pizza and items from the Sprecher’s menu. The theater opened with a core staff of six employees, and Colwell said the venue’s brand new seating, state-ofthe-art sound system and location will make it attractive compared with the larger Showboat theater. “We have a location advantage being right in the downtown and so close to all the hotels,” he said. The $2 million renovation included $195,000 in tax incremental finance funds and $30,000 from the Friends of the Geneva Theater for lighting. Colwell said he expects residents to become involved with the theater just as supporters did for its renovation. “This is really going to be a vibrant place for the community,” he said. The theater will have showings of “Logan” daily this week and will premier “Kong: Skull Island” at 7 p.m. Thursday.
