It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Western Kenosha County.

This annual Our Town edition, produced by the Report Group, is packed with important community information and items that residents should be proud of.

As I pored through a plethora of features, photos and community achievements for this edition, a few items stood out to me.

Starting with education, there are some hidden gems and major achievements in both Falcon and Panther country.

Westosha Central High School’s construction of an aircraft, and breeding of future pilots is an opportunity not offered in many high schools.

Also, who can forget about Wilmot Union High School’s remarkable Academic Decathlon team, which made its mark, adding a second consecutive national championship.

Without the support of the community, including strong families, none of these would have been possible.

Aside from academic excellence, community events have fostered growth and social enhancement to residents in Western Kenosha County.

Meanwhile, in the sizzling summer months, the Village of Twin Lakes features the nationally known Aquanuts, who take to Lake Mary, where they entertain the crowds with a ski show.

Community volunteers and organizations make several annual events a rousing success, which include Libertyfest, Country Thunder and multiple other activities.

The Report makes a concerted effort to highlight upcoming events, recognize community members, and give well-deserved acknowledgments to students in the classroom.

However, the door is always open for more community groups to promote their exciting events happening in the community.

Let’s show the area what Western Kenosha County has to offer.

Community groups, including civic and non-profit organizations, are encouraged to submit all of their events to us a month in advance, so we can highlight them through colorful photography and bring out the best in the area.

High-resolution photos are preferable, with the names of those pictured (left-to-right).

My door is always open, and I’m always willing to listen to what community members have to say.

All of you are welcome to email me at jarndt@ southernlakesnewspapers.com

STAFF WRITER

ince Dreams for Kids partnered with the Twin Lakes Aquanuts in an Adaptive Ski program 16 years ago, the annual event has opened windows of opportunity for children with special needs, and continued to grow entering its 17th year in 2016.

About 150 children and their families attended the event held on Lake Mary in August of 2016.

Dreams for Kids, an organization founded in 1989 by Tom Tuohy, looks to brighten the lives of children struggling with a variety of disabilities.

“In the first year, we had one event and one activity,” said Tuohy. “This year, we had fishing, kayaking and canoeing.”

The program, he added, helps not only children with special needs, but entire families.

“It has evolved over the years and it has brought more young people into it,” Tuohy said. “It is giving them more opportunities.”

According to Dave Lawless, Director of Extreme Recess, about 55 of the 150 were children with special needs.

Family involvement has made dreams possible for the children.

“It gives those something they have never experienced before and with their families,” Tuohy said. “This changes their lives, we have been told by families that this moment has been magical.”

Benefits extend beyond children and their families, but also to members of the Aquanuts squad, including incoming Wilmot Union High School senior Jenna Meyer.

Meyer, an Aquanut for about 12 years, states the expressions on the faces of special needs children and their families are rewarding enough.

“Seeing the people and the smile on their faces – they don’t get to experience something like this,” Meyer said. “Seeing how happy they are feels really good.”

The adaptive ski event extends beyond Lake Mary, however, fostering long-term friendships and academic improvement in the classroom.

“For those that have come back, their grades have gone up, and made friends for the first time,” Tuohy said.

Twin Lakes celebrates with a bang Every year, nearly 2,000 people converge into Lance Park for Libertyfest to celebrate Independence Day. Libertyfest, organized by the Twin Lakes Chamber and Business Association, has been in existence for at least 30 years.

Those in attendance enjoy a parade, live music, children’s activities and a water ski show delivered by the hometown Twin Lakes Aquanuts.

Children’s activities include carnival style games and Duck Races, assisted by the Town of Randall Fire Department.

The annual event always brings a community together, Chamber Executive Director Marilyn Trongeau said.

“Anything that brings the community together for a celebration benefits everyone,” Trongeau said. “Neighbors get to know each other. Businesses that help to sponsor the event get recognition.”

While the community comes together, area vendors set up shop, offering an assortment of savory foods for those in attendance.

The best part? There is no admission fee.

“Twin Lakes becomes the place to come for fun and entertainment without having an admittance charge, so anyone on any budget can have some fun,” Trongeau said.

The event is typically held the weekend surrounding July 4.

Putting the ‘community’ in outreach programs

Schools open doors to residents

Get fit at Wilmot

Currently, the fitness center holds 24 lifting stations, five functional trainers, 24 cardiovascular machines, several dumbbells, selecterizer equipment and available space for core workouts.

Dozens of treadmills line the walls at the Wilmot Union High School Fitness Center, which is open to the public, including nonresidents.

Functional trainers have become popular with rehabilitation programs, he said.

The fitness center, Christiansen said, has drawn positive reviews after its most recent upgrades.

“Our membership has grown since,” Christiansen stated.

Christiansen has witnessed community members from different age ranges working together.

“The neatest thing is walking into the fitness center at 5 p.m. and there will be 80 year olds working out next to high school kids,” Christiansen said. “It really does show how it brings a community together.”

While the fitness center is open to residents for $100 annually and nonresidents for $200, the school opted to restrict the age of those using the equipment.

Christiansen states the decision is in the best interest of youth.

“We do not allow anyone under eighth grade to use the fitness center, unless they are with high school coaches as lifting at a young age is not something we believe in,” he explained. “However, we have movie nights for kids, and a few other sports

programs for the younger kids.”

Movie nights are part of the community outreach program launched two years ago.

Paige Thelen, brought in to lead the community outreach program, has been instrumental to the early success.

“I think Paige has worked really hard to find as many different avenues for people to try something through the program, and include different programs for people of all ages,” Christiansen stated.

Programs include – but not limited to – Zumba, Total Body Workout, Country Heat, a class in self-defense and a slew of art classes.

The classes, Thelen said, come as a surprise to members of the community.

“Some are not aware that we have the community outreach program here at the high school,” Thelen stated. “We are still fairly new but the word is spreading.”

Thelen, who participates in classes herself, states the most popular courses are yoga, spin, total body workout, courses in general wellness and another called Insanity.

Insanity is a cardio-based total-body

tudents are not the only people getting physically fit and receiving enrichment at some area schools.

Wilmot Union High School and Wheatland Center School have made it possible for the community to receive programs never seen before.

For Wilmot, the school offers a fitness center with more than a dozen pieces of workout equipment, along with community outreach programs.

According to Wilmot Athletic Director Herm Christiansen, the school opened the fitness center to the community, which passed a $40 million construction referendum in 2004.

“The Fitness Center was built as part of the 2004 referendum and was designed with the community in mind from the beginning,” Christiansen stated. “When the referendum was passed, the school board wanted to let everyone know it was the community’s building.”

Wheatland District Administrator Marty McGinley agreed, adding his school’s community education program strengthens the bond with the community. “​We have had a great deal of interest from residents and when they see the school giving back to the community it creates a sense of ownership and connection to the school,” McGinley said.

conditioning program for all ages that does not need any equipment.

Additionally, workshops are well attended, Thelen said.

“Special interest workshops like beekeeping and monarch butterflies, basket weaving are also popular,” she said.

Thelen estimates about 100 different people participate weekly.

Christiansen believes the influx of citizens is an opportunity to showcase the school.

“The community has been brought back into our school and has a greater appreciation for everything we did to really make this a community building,” Christiansen said. “We have a beautiful facility and that is all with the idea that it is a community building.”

Wheatland has experienced similar results.

“At the time (2012), Wheatland was struggling to attract students, and so I believe it was a way to get people from the community in and create a buzz about the good things happening at the school,” McGinley stated.

Course offerings this fall include American Sign Language, clay pottery, memory care and brain wellness, and oil painting along with yoga and Pilates.

Like Wilmot, class fees vary, and covers enrollment and any supplies, McGinley said.

Furthermore, the classes receive supplementary funds from the Fund 80 levy, which offsets operational and personnel expenses.

Kathy Melcher serves as the Community Education Director at Wheatland.

While they have course offerings, McGinley said the school takes suggestions from the community, adding more classes.

“We often create classes based on an interest either from a staff member or from someone in the community and we try to run the class,” said McGinley, noting minimum attendance is required.

Jackson commended Senft, who spent several months helping students, for maintaining an orderly flow.

“I don’t know who else could organize all this and not go crazy,” Jackson stated.

“The amount of hours Mr. Senft has in this club really shows his passion of spreading aviation.”

The club sent Jackson and her copresident and fellow graduate, Olivia Rasmussen, as the first two members to receive a pilot’s license.

According to Senft, the duo represented Westosha Central’s organization in July at the EAA AirVenture Show in Oshkosh, where Falcon 1 was proudly displayed.

“They flew (Falcon 1) to Oshkosh AirVenture where the plane was on display for the whole air show,” said Senft.

STEM Club has Central students flying high

Westosha Central High School’s STEM Aviation Club has students flying to great heights.

The student organization spent just over a year assembling Falcon 1, a twoseated RV-12 aircraft equipped with a 100-horsepower engine, and have started on a second aircraft in 2016.

It would not have been possible without a donation from nonprofit organization Eagle’s Nest and program mentor James Senft.

Nicole Jackson, former student president and 2016 Westosha Central graduate, remains grateful to Eagle’s Nest and Senft.

“Eagle’s Nest, our sponsor, has been so amazing to us,” Jackson said. “Aviation is very hard to get into with the large cost that comes with it.”

A rejuvenated spirit

Stage Stop re-opened as family continues 168-year tradition

By Jason Arndt

delivers several years experience as both a bartender and a teacher.

Under Ludwig, who plans to keep up with today’s trendiest cocktail concoctions, guests will have a diverse array of choices, Wood explained.

“We have taken the time to update our cocktail menu with mixing old classic cocktails with today’s trends,” said Wood.

“We have a master mixologist, I would call him.” “(Ludwig) has worked for a bunch of liquor companies that has done a whole bunch of training and teaching,” she added.

STAFF WRITER

Historical appreciation

Jill Wood, daughter of Wilmot Stage Stop owners Ron and Nancy Hackett, and her husband Craig took a hands-on role in re-opening of the seven-generation business.

then we have taken two steaks off and replaced them with two different steaks,” said Wood. “We’ve also added a vegetable of the day because that is what people had been requesting.”

Although they improved the menu options, some of the old customer favorites are slated to stay the same, including homemade desserts and the trademark baked potato with a stick of butter.

“That is definitely going to be still here,” Wood said, in regards to the baked potato.

Furthermore, for the last six months, the family opted to add more historical features to the building and hired a new chef and master mixologist.

Personnel changes

One of the reasons for the July closure was staff turnover, but Stage Stop found two new employees they believe can make a remarkable impression on guests.

Stage Stop added Ashley Rupp, who is a pioneer in the 168-year-old history of the business.

“We are bringing in the first woman chef to ever be behind the grill,” Wood said.

“She has culinary degree.”

Along with a new chef comes a master bartender, Wood said, noting Cory Ludwig

With the re-opening, guests can expect the same physical structure and more, including enhancements for both children and those with physical limitations.

“The goal was to increase the customer experience. That is what we really concentrated on,” Wood explained.

“With that being said, we closed down the gift shop and added more historical representations from the family, including the original bar that we brought back in.”

The original bar, still in storage, was replaced on the first floor with new counters decades earlier.

Wood added historical information from multiple eras on to the original bar, which is now on the second floor, where the gift shop was located.

Instead of a gift shop, staff plan to guide guests through the building, offering a more interactive opportunity.

“We are now going to be doing history museum tours upstairs, so people can actually hear the story behind the family and the artifacts, instead of just visually seeing them,” she said.

According to the Stage Stop website, the second floor was primarily used as a ballroom, where travelers in the 1800s sought a night of fun and relaxation as they ventured between Kenosha and Galena, Ill. en route to the Wilmot Grist Mill.

While travelers had a warm meal on the first floor, and danced the night away on the second floor, they needed an overnight resting spot.

Enter in the third floor, which consists of 13 cubicles, where travelers slept.

“When (Ephraim) Wilcox constructed the 13 small sleeping rooms on the third, he felt quite confident that Wilmot would serve as the perfect location for his hotel on the stage line between Kenosha and Galena,”

hen the Wilmot Hotel opened its doors in 1848, the San Francisco Gold Rush was one year away, Wisconsin was not yet admitted into the United States and the telegraph was in its infancy.

Since then, the Wilmot Hotel, now known as Wilmot Stage Stop has stayed in the same family for seven generations as they saw the United States grow into 50 states and countless technological innovations.

As the United States grew, the Stage Stop, 30646 113th St., Wilmot, in western Kenosha County, continued to maintain the historical integrity of the three-story building consisting of a restaurant, museum and third floor where settlers traveling by horse stayed in the 1800s.

The 168-year-old history came to an abrupt end in July 2016, but following an outpouring of community support and overwhelming response, the family vowed to re-open with a rejuvenated spirit.

According to Jill Wood, daughter of fifth-generation owners Ron and Nancy Hackett, the support gave the family strength to plan a re-opening on Jan. 17.

“The response, not only from the local community, but the surrounding communities to re-open the doors was a magical response,” Wood said. “It gave you the motivation and the enthusiasm that the family needed to carry on the tradition.”

The enthusiasm, she said, included phone calls, handwritten letters and customers showing up to the property in tears.

“There was a lot of emotion, not only from the (customers), but the family,” Wood said. “After 168 years of being open seven days a week, it was a great opportunity to close the doors for six months and concentrate on the quality of what we had.”

For the past six months, Wood and her staff have assessed not only the food and service quality, but for ways to improve the overall customer experience.

Known for its steak, Stage Stop upgraded to Certified Angus Beef, replaced the T-bone and top sirloin with a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye and butcher steak.

Those are not the only upgrades, however, with the Stage Stop adding a vegetable of the day and a new addition to the menu.

“We have added the Ahi tuna steak and

the website states.

Today, nearly all of the artifacts are viewable through a tiny window.

Noting its mission to enhance the quality of the guest experience, Wood said, she opted to make the third floor child friendly, noting the small window is unreachable for them.

“On the third floor, I put a lot of additional artifacts in the rooms,” she stated. “I also took photos of all those rooms so that children could see what was in them as well, because there was always that small window.”

For guests with physical limitations, Wood opted to bring both the second and third floor to the first floor, with a photo scrapbook for everyone to peruse.

Next generation

While Wood has taken the reins in the day-to-day

operations of the business, there is a seventh generation entering the business, with her three children showing an interest in maintaining the family tradition dating back to John and Anna Hegeman.

“My parents still own it, they are still in ownership,” said Wood, mother of 11-year-old Maci, 13-year-old Erik, and Molly, who is 16 years old.

“Two of my children have a lot of interest in it,” said Wood. “They were, I want to say, part of the motivation to reopen as well. They were pretty heartbroken when it was closed.”
