The recent passage of Act 245 means farmers with small flocks of chickens won’t be stuck putting all their eggs in one basket. The act was among 62 bills Gov. Scott Walker signed into law April 8 and exempts egg produc-
ers with 150 birds or less who sell eggs directly to consumers at the farm, at farmers markets or on egg sales routes from needing a food processing plant license for egg collection and packing activities. Representative Andre Jacque, R-De Pere, and Senator Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, authored its parent
Assembly Bill 485, which passed the Assembly on a voice vote and was concurred by the Senate. Kara O’Connor, government relations director for the Wisconsin Farmers Union testified in support of the bill at the Assembly hearing. See EGGS, Page 2A 4
Legislation that has been more than a year in the making finally came to fruition last week as Gov. Scott Walker signed a long-awaited bill regarding implements of husbandry. The bill, co-authored by state Sen. Jerry Petrowski, R-Marathon, and state Rep. Keith Ripp, R-Lodi, was among 55 bills Walker signed into law April 23 at the state Capitol. Act 377 updates state laws to reflect the reality of modern agricultural equipment. It creates a regulatory structure aimed at ensuring the continued success of the largest single industry in the state while providing strong public safety standards and maintaining infrastructure.

Blacksmith shop open house to offer visitors a step ba By Jeanie Lewis Correspondent
HYDE — In their heyday, Wisconsin rural communities thrived with early-day settlers. There were fur traders, hunters and farmers. Stagecoaches rumbled through the hills and valleys where businesses such as grocery stores, saloons, mills, cheese factories, shoe shops and blacksmith shops dotted the landscape. Hyde, located about four miles north of Ridgeway in Iowa County, got its name from an early-day settler and businessman by the name of William Submitted photo Hyde.

Ixonia body id as Milwaukee
MADISON (AP) — Reading and math scores for most Wisconsin public school students increased slightly on tests administered last fall, but wide achievement gaps between white students and minorities persist, results released Tuesday show. Test results for students participating in the taxpayer-subsidized private school voucher program were to be released later Tuesday. The scores are looked at closely by parents, educators and policy makers to assess both how well students are learning and how schools are doing at educating them. Last year, the report showed voucher school students lagging their public school counterparts, a finding that only further fueled the rancorous debate in the Legislature over expanding the program.

arterial or collector streets, nor on any street with a posted speed limit greater than 25 miles per hour. In addition, the vendors would not be able to locate on portions of streets contiguous to schools or parks. Per the proposed ordinance, noise emanating from the vendor sites should be 80 decibels or below within a 20-foot dis-
tance. I include the crim on the o All m obtain a icy for and pro tificate required ficials a

Baby birdies sing for their supper

Town of Ottawa — It would seem the word “twitter” has taken on a whole new meaning. At the Wildlife In Need Center here, however, the cacophonous symphony of hundreds of baby birds twittering still means only one thing — it’s feeding time. Spring marks the busiest season for the wildlife rehabilitation center, when the nonprofit organization becomes a temporary nest for more than 300 injured, orphaned and displaced baby birds. The center usually takes care of 25 to 30 different species of songbirds during a season; each requiring its own special
diet, habitat and feeding time. In order to successfully care for its most fragile and tiniest tenants, the wildlife center relies on young volunteer caretakers through its Baby Bird Feeding Program. This year, orientation for the program will take place from1to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 10; 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 13; and 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 18, at the wildlife center, W349 S1480 S. Waterville Road. Volunteers only need to attend one of the training sessions. Participants need to be at least14 year old. Kids ages12 and 13 are admitted if they team up with a parent or guardian. Adults are also invited to
volunteer. They must commit to working a four-and-a-half-hour shift per week for about 12 weeks. During the orientation, volunteers will learn about food preparation, feeding techniques, cage cleaning, charting and how to make a baby bird nest from recycled plastic containers and tissue paper. “The Wildlife In Need Center's Baby Bird Feeding Program is a unique program where students get the opportunity to directly help Wisconsin's wildlife,” Mandy Feavel, the center’s animal care manager said. “This program gives younger students starting at the age of 12 years old the chance to start
volunteering. The students, with the help of summer college interns, are responsible for the care of the small avian patients in our avian nursery and get the chance to see the infants grow and be released back to the wild throughout the summer,” she said. Part of the Wildlife In Need’s mission is to connect people with wildlife through its education and prevention programs. Jessica Kennedy, 17, volunteered with the Baby Bird Feeding Program last summer. “At first I was nervous, because I realized I was in charge of a life, but then I got into a Please see WILDLIFE, Page 7

Amston Trailers eyes $5 million-plus move Company looking to expand in Caledonia along Interstate 94
Amston Trailers
MICHAEL BURKE mburke@journaltimes.com
U
CALEDONIA — A Raymond truck fleet sales and maintenance group, Amston Trailers, has proposed a more than $5 million relocation project from Raymond to a site along Interstate 94 here. On Wednesday evening, the Caledonia Plan Commission unanimously recommended approval of Amston Trailer’s conditional-use permit request. Pending final approvals and negotiations of incentives from the village, Racine County or the state of Wisconsin, Amston would break ground in June on a new, 48,000-square-foot building at 7213 E. Frontage Road. The company now has an approximately 10,000-squarefoot building at 1521 Waukesha Road, company President and part-owner Steve Hribar said.
Amston is a trailer dealership offering custom fabrication, assembly and modification of trailers and trucks, and preventive maintenance services. As an example of its services, company Finance Director Paul Shemanske said Amston will modify a base trailer with a hoop-and-tarp system that essentially converts it into a box, or van, trailer, like a Conestoga wagon. Amston, which was started in 1979, now has 24 employees, but Hribar said the new location and building could double that number within three years. “That could potentially be a conservative number,” he added. Shemanske said the new jobs would include technicians and mechanics, salespeople, administrative positions and support personnel. Having a location along I94, with the added visibility
and truck traffic count, is a “huge” driver of the project, Shemanske said. The structure will include a two-story office building in the front and an expandable building behind it with 20 drive-through bays, he said. The 39-acre relocation site is so far without sewer, water or natural gas, Hribar and Shemanske said, which is the reason for talks of incentives. The operation will have to start with well water and a septic system, but Amston hopes Caledonia extends sewer and water there before long. They hope to start operations there in the fall. Hribar said the expansion and relocation is just phase one of the development and would use only 30 to 40 percent of the property. In the future, Amston would expect to add product lines it could build or distribute, he said. It would also consider erect-

FFA student Jordan Beyler doesn’t have any farm animals of her own, but she’ll still have a chance to show cattle because of the help she gets from a local farmer who’s been mentoring kids like her for about a decade.
“We’ve all always been into the cattle,” Jeanne said.

Overflow audience on hand for panel discussing ‘Social Divide’ SAMARA KALK DERBY skalk@madison.com, 608-252-6439
How much racism is there in Madison? At a panel discussion Thursday titled “Together/Apart: Talking Across the Social Divide,” UW-Madison professor Gloria Ladson-Billings said that even though her income is equal to the whites who live in her neighborhood, some white people still don’t know how to interact with her. One white woman told her, “Well, I’ve never been in a relationship with a black person I wasn’t helping.” Black people first need to be seen as “fully human” before a conversation can take place, Ladson-Billings said.
white privilege he is “deathly afraid of saying something that is culturally inappropriate.” He warned that “we begin these dialogues assuming that we know more than we actually do.” Annette Miller, an executive at Madison Gas & Electric, said that most people don’t know it, but she’s a really angry and edgy person. As a biracial woman, she’s “never enough for either culture.” She said it’s difficult to talk about race because she’s never sure if the other person is fully vested or has the right intentions. Everett Mitchell, pastor of Christ the Solid Rock Baptist Church and a former Dane County assistant district attorney, went further, saying that he doesn’t trust white people.
to each other and be honest and vulnerable. Johnson said he often walks into companies and churches in Madison without seeing any black people. And he’s sick of the argument that it’s so hard to find talented black people. “They found me in Philadelphia,” he said. The discussion Thursday, and a similarly well-attended town hall meeting held by the Rev. Alex Gee in February at Fountain of Life Covenant Church, were spurred by the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families’ Race to Equity report. That report, released in October 2013, found dramatic differ2, 2014 6:17 pm / encesMay in the well-being of blacks compared to whites in Dane

Mukwonago’s Alexis McKeever competes in the long jump at the Dan Benson Track and Field Invitational at Wauwatosa West on May 2.
Mukwonago girls track team on fire By JR RADCLIFFE jradcliffe@jrn.com
In a week when the Mukwonago girls might have won the Classic 8 Conference Relays (more on that later), the squad knew one thing for sure: It had emerged from Wauwatosa West with the Dan Benson Invite title Saturday. With 105.5 points, Mukwonago edged Whitefish Bay (102.5) to take first place in the 13-team meet, the latest in a string of standout performances this season. “They gutted out a victory when I know they were not feeling well,” Mukwonago coach Craig Huelsman said. “We seemed flat physically and to an extent, mentally, coming off Conference Relays, but the effort was good, and that is what really matters.” Courtney McKeever took second place in the 100 meters, second in the 300 meter hurdles and won the high jump, clearing 4 feet, 10 inches in the latter event to seal one of two event victories for MHS in the meet. Steph Pladies took second in the high jump at the same height. The other first place belonged
to freshman Emma Wittliff, who tossed the discus105-01for the title and added fifth place in the shot put. “Emma Wittliff is a great competitor,” Huelsman said. “Her performance and focus are starting to catch up to her ability. We have been so pleased for and with Kristen Johnson. (Johnson) threw another PR and continues to be a great role model for our younger kids. Erin Dietzler also threw a PR. She continues to give great effort and improve.” Johnson took sixth (94-10) and Dietzler eighth (88-1). The 4x800-meter relay team took second place, with Taylor Pozorski, Courtney Lloyd, Hannah Lomen and Megan Whitehousecontributingtothe9:52.22 showing. “Those four run hard together and for each other,” Huelsman said.“Theyhaveagoaltogetback to state, and I hope they realize that goal.” Gina Pomaville took third in the 300 hurdles, Mandy Sinkler took third in the pole vault and sophomore Abby Nelson took third in the long jump.

‘Break in the Weather’ party particularly welcome this year By Neil Johnson njohnson@gazettextra.com NEWVILLE
It didn’t matter that the Rock River was an icy 43 degrees Saturday. That’s a lot higher than the air temperatures during many days of this past winter. And if you jumped in the frigid river, as five people did during a belly-flop contest at Anchor Inn in Newville on Saturday, you weren’t worried. You got a double-shot of liquid courage beforehand: a sip of cinnamon-flavored whiskey and cheers from 1,500 people who were celebrating the color of your undies and the start of a new spring. The belly flops and other southern Wisconsin revelry—beer, brats and live bands playing 1970s and 1980s classic rock—went on Saturday at the Anchor Inn as part of the tavern’s annual Break in the Weather party.
The long-running event in Newville—and its heralded Rock River belly-flop contest—is as familiar to Edgerton-area residents and Lake Koshkonong vacationers as the Groundhog Day woodchuck “Punxsutawney Phil” is to Punxsutawney, Penn. For residents and Lake Koshkonong vacationers, the party, which runs from noon until after midnight, is an annual rite. The ice is finally off the river, and the season of fun has returned to Newville. “Look at the buds popping out on that thing,” a tattooed man in a leather and denim motorcycle jacket said to his friend. He was pointing to a tree on the riverfront veranda at the Anchor Inn. “Isn’t it nice to see that?” It was an unexpected Walt Whitman moment for a motorcycle dude, but hey—it has been a long, nasty winter. Anchor Inn owner John Kinnett smiled from the

Spring season warms up Janesville, The Gazette 04/13/2014
Edgerton boys golf team targets another state trip By John Barry jbarry@gazettextra.com
S
pring has sprung—at least that’s what the calendar says. And despite one week of deplorable playing conditions that led to an array of postponements and cancellations, the high school spring sports season is in full bloom. Here’s a look at a few area athletes and teams to keep an eye on.
Baseball Jefferson is loaded. The defending Rock Valley North co-champions return four all-conference first-team selections and are ranked first in Division 2 to start the season. Edgerton coach Mike Gregory said he would be “shocked if Jefferson didn’t contend for a state title. They’re that good.” The defending Rock Valley North cochampion Crimson Tide find out this week if they can play with Jefferson. Edgerton hosts Jefferson on Tuesday and plays at Jefferson on Thursday. Edgerton’s Lucas Gregory was 9-1 a year ago with a 0.95 ERA, while Walworth Big Foot’s Austin Hoey posted a 1.75 ERA and had 112 strikeouts in earning all-Rock Valley South first-team honors a year ago. Sun Prairie continues to be the class of the Big Eight. The Cardinals have won back-to-back Division 1 state titles and four straight Big Eight titles. Janesville Craig and Janesville Parker have both gotten off to strong starts. Led by junior shortstop Nick Blomgren, the Cougars are 3-0 and gearing up for a visit from Sun Prairie on Thursday at Riverside Park. Blomgren has started the season 6-for-8 with eight runs scored and eight RBI. Parker is 3-1 overall and 2-0 in the Big Eight and has two quality starters in sophomore left-hander Hunter Van Zandt and senior right-hander Collin Powers. Van Zandt struck out 20 batters in two outings. Stoughton looks to be the team to beat in the Badger South, while the Rock Valley South is up for grabs as graduation hit defending champion Orfordville Parkview hard. Delavan-Darien is the early surprise team. The Comets are 2-0 in the Southern Lakes and 3-2 overall.
Softball Monroe is the defending champion in the Badger South and a state qualifier the last three seasons, but Milton could challenge the Cheesemakers. The Red Hawks, led by pitchers Kayla Negus and Courtney Terrill, along with outfielder Maddie McCue, are an experienced and talented team. McCue earned a thirdteam all-state selection last season and seems to get at least two hits every game. She’s 10-for-18 to start this season and has scored eight runs in five games, while Terrill has been a model of consistency on the mound. Negus missed all of last week on a school field trip but was a first-team all-conference selection a year

Strong kickoff for track teams
Waunakee Tribune 04/17/2014
BY PETER LINDBLAD TRIBUNE REPORTER
Danielle Kind grabbed the headlines by setting a new Waunakee High School girls’ discus record. There were other strong performances, however, by the Warriors in a home meet on April 8 against Milton and McFarland. “It was nice to have a kickoff event to get the kids out there, even though we missed having some of our varsity athletes,” said Waunakee coach Jen Grabarski. In all, 12 Waunakee competitors missed the meet, including 10 varsity performers due to a Future Business Leaders of America event. Kind was there, though, and she had tongues wagging about her 120-feet-two inches throw in the discus, which was almost 11 feet better than second-place Hannah Barton’s toss of 109’ 8”. Kind, who also finished second in the shot put (36’ 2.5”) broke a record that had stood for 13 years. The previous record of 114’ 4” was set in 2001 by Ellen Preston.

Anna Gamm set a personal record in the long jump, leaping 14’ 10.5” to finish second to Milton’s Taylor Brandt. Gamm also took third in the 100-meter dash (13.52), finishing just behind teammate Marly Harmen (13.40), who was second.
Harmen also placed second in the 200 with a time of 27.71. Abby Larson (28.43) and Emily Holden (29.25) took third and fourth, respectively. Lindsay Denu won the 400 in a time of 1:03.90, with teammate Briana Mueller finishing second in 1:05.93. Also finishing Nos. 1 and 2 in the 3200 run were Emily Royston (12:10.93) and Sam
Slattery (13.14.49), respectively. Grabarski said that Kaitlyn Galgon, a freshman who finished second in the 1600 run in 5:50, is “running really well.” In the boys’ portion of the meet, Sam Musso won the 100 dash for Waunakee in 11.59. Shane Legatzke took first in two events, winning the 200 (24.30) and 400 (54.90) dash events. Nathan Dorn was another two-event winner for the Warriors, placing first in both the 800 (2:08) and 1600 (4:43.70) runs. Marius Faktor (2:19) and Pete Sobczak (2:24.31) took third and fourth, respectively in the 800. Like Legatzke and Dorn, Alec Putnam twice placed first, cruising to victory in both the 110 (15.98) and 300 (42.29) hurdles. The Waunakee boys also won the 3200 relay, while PJ Koopmans took first in the triple jump (38’6.5”). The Badger Challenge at Portage that was originally scheduled for Tuesday has been moved to Thursday. That’s the Warriors’ next meet.
Weather wreaks havoc at tennis tourney BY PETER LINDBLAD TRIBUNE REPORTER
Joey Schneider was chomping at the bit to play real matches. And the No. 2 doubles tandem of sophomores Luke Dias and Jesse Gallagher shook off a tough start and finished the Waukesha West Invite in dominating fashion.
Unfortunately, the weather did not allow for completion of the tournament. On Friday, however, the Waunakee High School boys’ tennis team dispatched Madison East with relative ease, winning 7-0. “Friday was kind of what we expected,” said Warrior coach Chris Nuenthel. “Our upperclassmen took care of
business.” At No. 1 singles, after playing No. 2 last year, Schneider rolled past Kiefer Kubly 6-1, 6-1. “He had two solid weeks of practice, and it showed,” said Nuenthal. “You could tell he really wanted to play that first match to show he could handle it.” Two freshmen, James
Paradisin (No. 2 singles) and Austin Zellner (No. 4 singles), overcame some early jitters to win their matches. “They both came out nervous, and the No. 2 doubles team did, too,” said Nuenthel. “We just coached them, and then they came out and played like they do in practice.” (TENNIS see page 14)

The Village of Taylor has recently tallied up its added cost due to the unusually cold winter, in terms of frozen pipes, equipment rented, notices published and other costs. It was reported at Monday’s village board meeting that the village had sustained $1,752 in added costs for the cold winter. Jackson County’s Emergency Management department requested the tally as part of a statewide effort to qualify for emergency management grant money. “Ours wasn’t too bad at all,” said Clerk Wendy Bue Tuesday morning. “Ours was very low because we had no (water) main breaks.” In other action at the meeting, the board: • Set the dates for the village’s Open Book and Board of Review for 2014.

Flames destroy Slumberland
Blackhawk Junction cornerstone crumbles in Sunday night blaze By Correne Martin One of the biggest business fires Prairie du Chien has ever witnessed occurred at Blackhawk Junction Sunday night, leaving Slumberland Furniture completely destroyed and the remaining businesses in the mall with a great degree of smoke damage. Eight fire departments responded and about half a million gallons of water were expended. No injuries were reported. The state fire marshal was scheduled to arrive mid-morning Monday to assist in deter-

adequately complete the project. Trustee Dale Dresel said that while working as a contractor himself, he passed on the opportunity to hire DeSantis because of his lack of equipment and managerial skills. He said that while DeSantis is capable of completing smaller jobs, this is not one of those cases.
While DeSantis Excavating and Underground Utilities submitted the lowest bid for the project ($735,464) trustees questioned the company’s ability to
“I as a contractor would not hire him. I as a village board man— I wouldn’t hire him,” Dresel stated. “I have nothing against the man, he’s a good honest man,
but he’s not capable of this job.” The village board opted instead for the second lowest bidder, A-1 Excavating, with a bid of $766,068. While the difference between DeSantis and A-1 was $30,604, both bids came in well under engineering estimates and the Department of Natural Resources Safe Drinking Water Loan Program budget.

Area residents who saw Black Earth fire trucks rushing south and west of the village Wednesday evening, April 2 would understandably assume there was an emergency. It turned out to be a false alarm, however. This large tract of grassland was being burned off at the corner of Reeve Road and CTH FF, near the Dane-Iowa County line. According to Black Earth Fire chief, the fire was a prescribed burn that was under control. A 911 caller, however, told county dispatch the fire was out of control and threatening structures, which was not the case. See related story on page 3. Photo by John Donaldson

This report, a collaboration between the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, allows almost every county in each of the 50 states to compare their ranking on 29 health factors. “The County Health Rankings show us how health is influenced by our everyday surroundings – where we live, learn, work and play,” said Bridget Catlin, Ph.D., M.H.S.A., director of the County Health Rankings.

WPR poll: Walker widens leads over Burke

By Richard Moore of The Lakeland Times A new Wisconsin Public Radio/St. Norbert poll has given Gov. Scott Walker a commanding 15-point lead over challenger and presumptive Democratic nominee Mary Burke.
The poll, taken March 24-April 3 among 401 adult residents, gave Walker a 55-40 percent lead. That number was reflective of Walker’s record-high approval rating: 59 percent of respondents said they either approved or strongly approved of the governor’s performance; 39 percent disapproved or strongly disapproved of his record. That approval figure is the best rating for any official tested in the poll. By contrast, Sen. Ron Johnson scored thumbs up among 42 percent of those See LEAD. . . page 10

Hwy. 83 construction plows ahead dfrake@jrn.com

Work on the Highway 83 road construction project is underway, with the goal of expanding the roadway to four lanes and adding two roundabouts. The current focus is on shoring efforts as well as work on the concrete placements for the planned bridge on the west side of the highway at the Glacial Drumlin Trail. Weather permitting, today contractors are scheduled to erect girders for the new bridge being constructed on Highway 83. Flagging operations will be necessary to perform this work; as a result traffic delays between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. are expected on April10.
"It will be a relatively brief interruption," Village President Jeff Flaws explained. Traffic delays were anticipated to last from about 8:30 a.m. to until about 2:30 p.m., he added. In other areas of the project, "utilities are finishing up some of their work with telephone electric and cable," Flaws said. Copper and wire splicers will be working along Highway 18, eastandwestofHighway83,from Main Street north and along Highway18easttoMapleAvenue. In addition, We Energies plans to replace a gas main along Highway 83, just north of Highway 18. Following completion, the company will then replace the gas main along the south side of Highway18. "The Village completed its
portion of the work," on the sewer project, Flaws said. The Village plan is to perform punch list work once the gas main is replaced in the intersection of Highways18 and 83 . "It’s a mess, but nothing unexpected," for a project of this size, Flaws said. "Clearly the very cold weather early on in the construction season has caused some delays. As the weather improves, they will be able to make up the time they lost." The project will replace the existing two-lane road with four lanes of north- and southbound travel separated by a 24-foot median. A 10-foot wide pedestrian/bike path will be on the west side of the road in addition to a four-foot wide multiuse shoulder at each side of the road.
The road project includes the construction of two roundabouts at the north and south ends of the village — one at Highways18 and 83 and the other at Highways E/ DE and18. "They will close one side or the otherlaterthisyearforatwo-week period," Flaws explained. " When one side is finished, they will do the other side. The DOT has agreed to provide a gravel bypass for emergency vehicles at that closure," he added. The$9million,3.1mileproject begins at Perkins Road in the Town of Genesee and ends at the southern intersection of Glacier Pass and Highway 83, in the Town of Delafield. About 80 percent of the project is being paid for with federal dollars and the remaining 20 percent with state funds.

AREA RANKINGS
Vaulters are unique breed ladder of track athletes, but the good ones have the combination of speed and strength that makes them some of the best athletes on the team. The past two years at state, the Division 1 pole vault champion has also been one of the top sprinters. Milwaukee Pius’ Kaewon Reynolds, the 2012 champ, won the 100 and was third in the 200. Last year Green Bay Preble’s Jake Wallenfang took third in the 100 and second in the 200. That kind of double doesn’t appear likely Lucchesi this year. Still there is an under-appreciated amount of athleticism and technique involved. Ideally, your pole vaulter is strong, fast and has some gymnastics background. The gymnastics part of the equation is especially true for many of the state’s top girls competitors. New Berlin West’s Rayce Albino and Arrowhead’s Taylor Amann, the state’s top performers this season, come from that background. Competitors like Wauwatosa West senior Sarah McOlash, who competes in-season only and has a modest personal best of 8 feet, started as a sprinter as a freshman before changing events. “You’ve got be a sprinter and you’ve got to be a jumper,” Casey said. “You’ve got to convert all the horizontal speed to vertical height.”

Ryan Send, Brookfield Academy. After a second-place finish in the 200 at the Division 2 state meet last year, the senior is the top returner in the event. Saturday he showed he is a few steps ahead of the rest of the sprinters in the state by running a 22.04 at Wisconsin Lutheran’s Viking Invite. That time is the fastest in the state and a half-second better than the next-best Division 2 time. Send, the defending state champion in the 100, won that race in 10.95, which is faster than all but one of his times from last year. Mark Stewart

KRISTYNA WENTZ-GRAFF / KWENTZ@JOURNALSENTINEL.COM
New Berlin West’s Rayce Albino is one of the state’s top pole vaulters. Her background in gymnastics is a benefit. Few are doing it better than Wisconsin Lutheran’s Christian Lucchesi. The senior cleared a statebest 15 feet 4 inches to win the Viking Invite Saturday. A former gymnast, he also has spent plenty of time doing tricks on his skateboard. Not surprisingly he has no qualms about throwing his body around. “My dad always makes fun of me, saying that ‘Once you’re in your late 30s, you’re going to start feeling all this stuff that you’re doing,’ ” Lucchesi said. “I started in gymnastics and I was always like I want to learn the next thing. I’d fall on my head and I’d be like I just need to rest and then I’ll go at
it again.” Lucchesi’s consistency has been impressive so far. Counting the indoor season, he has cleared 15-0 or better twice and gone 14 feet seven times in all. Brookfield East senior Glen Harold is the only other area athlete to clear 15-0 this season. Soaring over the bar at that height must feel like flying. “Sometimes I scream. Every once in a while I’ll fist pump because I’m really excited,” Lucchesi said of clearing the bar. “It’s like you just finished, you’ve climbed that hill. Now what’s the next one.” Send email to mstewart@journalsentinel.com

She did it with performances that are among the best, if not the best, in the state so far. Her best showing came in the 200, where her winning time of 25.63 is tops on the state honor roll. She won the 100 in 12.48, which ranks second to Union Grove’s Cassy Goodrich, and teamed with Aaliyah Hines, Jordan Baldwin and Mady Marko to take the 400 relay in 51.76.

Nitaro Collins has issues with her umbrella as she heads through the snow along Juneau Ave. in Milwaukee on Monday. The day started out rainy, but changed to snow as the temperature dropped. 41 degrees or less. “Food was taken home by the owner or destroyed because there was no backup refrigeration,” a report from the city said. The restaurant fixed the problem and reopened the following day. A manager at the restaurant wasn’t immediately available to comment.
N. 10th St. reopens after courthouse work N. 10th St. adjacent to the Milwaukee County Courthouse reopened to traffic over the weekend, after a nine-month closing to accommodate utility repairs to the building following a July fire. The N. 10th St. entrance to the building, also closed due to the fire, reopened Monday.
The county has spent about $13 million toward an estimated $17 million restoration after the electrical fire last summer. Installation of a new electrical system for the courthouse is largely complete. Insurance is expected to cover most of the costs, but the county’s rates also are expected to rise. The district attorney’s office requested and was sent copies of invoices related to the fire recovery costs, said Don Tyler, director of administrative services for the county. That move followed disclosure that a county employee had been arrested in connection with an alleged kickback scheme. The fire started in a capacitor, a component in the courthouse electrical system, Tyler said.

MILWAUKEE — U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin on Wednesday encouraged fellow Democrats to speak out about the successes of the new federal health care law, which Republicans have ridiculed on the campaign trail as an example of government overreach. Baldwin acknowledged that the rollout of the healthcare.gov federal website was botched. But now that about 8 million Americans have signed up, she said it’s time for Democrats to focus on how the law has made things better — for example, by not allowing insurance companies to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions. “There are accomplishments ... that we should be proud of, that we should embrace and make sure that people truly understand them,” she said. Plenty of Americans were frustrated by flaws in the sign-up process, she added, but “I’ve never run across a person who said we should do away with insurance reforms.” Health care reform is likely to be a major issue in the November midterm elections. Baldwin predicted that Republicans would campaign on a futile pledge to repeal or defund the law, and she said she was confi-
