(September 2) Quality
programs fuel UWW's record enrollment
 New Student Residence Hall - Starin
Hall
More students than ever recognize the UWW as an
exceptional place to earn a college degree.
A
record 11,432 students enrolled in classes for the fall 2010 semester - 300
more students than in 2009, 561 more than in 2008, and 786 more than in 2007.
"UW-Whitewater has a strong reputation as a campus that offers
world-class programs along with a helpful and caring environment," said
Chancellor Richard Telfer. "I believe the record enrollment figures are a
reflection of the excellent work that our faculty and staff do in the classroom
and in their research. Students who enroll at UW-Whitewater know that they will
be taught by faculty who choose to be at a University where teaching and
research are valued."
Major building enhancements have enriched the
student experience, Chancellor Telfer said.
For the first time in 40
years, students moved in to a new residence hall this semester. Starin Hall
features suite-style accommodations, and was built with accessibility and
sustainability in mind.
Students in the College of Business and
Economics attend classes in Timothy J. Hyland Hall, a $41.5 million gem; and
the newly renovated James R. Connor University Center opened in 2008, featuring
expanded dining, entertainment and academic space.
"I am proud of what
we have accomplished on this campus in recent years and I am looking forward to
a busy and productive academic year," Chancellor Telfer said. |
(September 2) "Envisioning the Future" - Dr. Suzanne M. Zentner, District
Administrator Whitewater Unified School District September 2010
I hope this finds everyone as excited as I am as we
prepare for our second year together. In some ways it seems like I have been in
Whitewater much longer than 13 months, yet in other ways, the past year clipped
by at a pace that, at times, felt more like just a few weeks!
Just over
a year ago we began talking about building a 21st century school community. The
notion seems outdated given that we are nearly one-tenth of the way through the
century. However, in other ways, it seems spot-on as the notion
elicits a futuristic sense of looking forward.

 Geese on Cravath Lake
The City of Whitewater would like to remind residents
that hunting is allowed by permit on portions of Trippe & Cravath Lake. The
waterfowl hunting season is from September 1-15, September 18-October 10, and

that include that no hunting is allowed within 100 yards of any street,
highway, or occupied building.
Additionally, hunters must have written
permission for hunting on private property and must carry that permission at
all times while hunting on that property. The City of Whitewaters
waterfowl hunting program has proven a successful management tool for
controlling the population of waterfowl in Whitewater. The Parks &
Recreation Department appreciates the continued interest from the hunting
community and the cooperation of the overall community. |

 Dr. Julia Dewey
Fort Medical Group and Fort
HealthCare Internal Medicine & Pediatrics is pleased to welcome
pediatrician, Julia Dewey, MD, to their medical group practice.
Dr.
Dewey joins the staff in Fort Atkinson on September 1. She earned her medical

addition to offering general pediatric care, Dr. Dewey is available to care for
multiples, give pelvic exams and perform circumcisions.
Dr. Dewey
states, "I chose to practice Pediatrics not only for the obvious reason that I
love working with children, but because it offers the opportunity to build
long-term relationships with young patients and their parents. I believe a
trusting relationship can lead to a more effective partnership in maintaining
good health." Dewey continues, "I love the thought of watching my patients grow
up, celebrating their successes with them, helping them through their
difficulties, and guiding them toward healthy adulthoods while providing their
parents with tools to assist them in the journey."
When she's not
seeing patients, Dewey enjoys outdoor activities, watching live music, reading
and spending time with her husband and twin boys. Appointments can be made with
Dr. Dewey through the Fort HealthCare Internal Medicine & Pediatrics clinic
in Fort Atkinson by calling (920) 563-5571. |

in Urology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Urology in
2010.
Dr. Manakas states, "Urology is a field that I am attracted to
because of the huge impact small interventions can have on a person's quality
of life. I feel privileged to be able to offer a number of solutions for
improving someone's overall health and well being."
When he's not at
the hospital or seeing patients in the clinic, he enjoys spending time with his
wife and son. To make an appointment with Dr. Manakas, call (920) 563-7744 in

(August 26) Speaking to
the Whitewater Breakfast Kiwanis, Ed Sokolowski, President of the Walworth
County Fair Board, presented the membership with a picture of the 2nd oldest
County Fair in Wisconsin and the slate of programs it has scheduled for six
days in September.
 Ed Sokolowski, President, Walworth
County Fair Board.
The Walworth County Fair is in its 161st year. Many
people may not realize the county does not own or run the fair, although it
does provide $10,000 towards the program, but a private Board of 9 members
oversees the operation.
In a survey done in 2009, a UWW economics
professor found the average age of fair-goers is 49 with an average income of
$60,000. For the 3 weeks of the fair, one before in set-up and one after in
takedown plus the week of the fair itself, generate a county impact of
$6,000.000.
The young adults are not big fairgoers but tend to wait
until they have a family before becoming regular fair goers. Many residents of
Illinois attend the Walworth Co. Fair as it is a reasonable drive from home.
Ed indicated that as harness racing has dropped off, demolition derby
has increased. The Fair possibly has the largest animal exhibition in the
state, with county 4-H and FFA participation very strong. Goat exhibition is
becoming more popular.
One noticeable change is there will be a $5.00
parking fee on the grounds.
Grandstand headliners this year include
Josh Turner/Gloriana, Gretchen Wilson and the Beach Boys. The Fair opens
Wednesday, Sept. 1 with the official grandstand program at 6:30 p.m. with
Walworth County American Legion and VFW veterans members presenting the flag
ceremony. |
(August 25) Operation
Christmas Child, a project of Samaritans Purse, distributes gift filled
shoeboxes to the neediest children in the world in over 100 countries
suffering from abject poverty, disease, natural disaster and war.
For many of these children, this is the first gift they have ever received,
for others, suffering from AIDS, it may be the last
The poverty and
suffering of these children is unlike anything we experience in the USA,
thankfully. Even in a tight economy - help those worse off than
Whitewater residents can change childrens 1,000 lives this year!
Items that can be of use include: *School supplies (folders,
rulers, notebooks, pens, pencils, scissors, solar calculators, glue sticks,
note paper, stickers, stationery, etc.) Children cannot afford the basics of
life, school supplies enable them to break out of poverty. *New clothing
items for children ages 2-14 (undies, socks, flip flops, t-shirts, hats,
scarves, etc.) Some of these children walk miles to school barefoot. New
footwear is appreciated
*Hard candy/ gum *Toothbrushes/ toothpaste
(sometimes local dentists will give donations of items). It was not realized
how important these were until informed that children in AIDS afflicted Africa
often must share toothbrushes
Your donations protect their health.
*Bars of mild soap (hotel soap is fine too please no liquids, they
spill). *Toys that will fit into a shoe box (Beanie baby collections are
fine, also stuffed toys, jump ropes, dolls, balls, etc. Dollar store
type toys are really appreciated. These children appreciate absolutely
everything
When you have nothing, everything is appreciated! )
Great ideas to collect items: have a collection box in your office,
school or church. Have a packing party and fill boxes instead of an office
holiday gift exchange.
Donated items may be dropped off at Fairhaven
Retirement Community at: 435 W. Starin Rd, Whitewater during office hours M-F.
Please label For Operation Christmas Child.
The goal is to
pack 1,000 boxes and our seniors enjoy doing this project as a service to the
next generation. For more info on the project -

It wasn't the prettiest win the Whippets have had this year. Coach
Nelson commented, "Even some of the matches that we won we didn't play our best
tennis. We just had too many double faults and unforced errors tonight, we
couldn't keep easy balls in the court. Michala played very steady tennis and
Hannah played ok, our 2 and 3 doubles teams won, but they weren't completely on
the top of their games either. Tessa and Kayla have been our steadiest players
the last couple of matches, but tonight just wasn't their night, their style of
play and their shots were just a little off. Kiara and Steph were just off
tonight more errors than they have had all year. These things are going to
happen during the course of the year, now we have to be able to put it behind
us and just have to work on getting back to where we are capable of playing."
The Whippets are back in action on Tuesday at East Troy in a rematch of
a dual that they lost 3-4 earlier in the year. (Coach Nelson) |

The Whippet Team suffered a loss in their first game of
the season and the first game for Head Football Coach Ben Cooper. The game
opened with the Comets senior running back Justin Fowles returning the kickoff
for a TD, his first of three TDs and the onslaught was on. The score at the end
of the first quarter was 0 - 27 and at half time 0 - 48 and 7 - 48 at the end
of the 3rd quarter.
The young Whippet team has 17 sophomores to two
listed on the Comets team. Experience and speed were certainly on the side of
the Comets.
Whitewater scored in the third quarter when Lucas Van Norman
caught a 17 yard Pass from Ryan Owen (Josh Rogers kick)
WW had 70 yards
to DD 371 yards rushing and in passing WW had 92 yards and DD 70 yards.
The Whippets will at home on Friday at 7pm at UWW Perkins Field against
Columbus. |
(August 27) The Whippet
Girls' Tennis team took on Mauston at the WHS Courts. The girls played
steady tennis today, nothing flashy but they got the job done, Mauston is down
this year from graduation so the girls just had to make sure that they played
their game and they were able to do that today. The girls open the conference
season with a dual against Edgerton next Thursday. Whitewater 7 Mauston 0

The Girls Golf Team hosted a conference mini meet on
Thursday at the Whitewater Golf Course. It was a great day for golf. Some great
scores were scored by many players. Edgerton's team pulled off the win by one
over McFarland. Some great scores from the Whippet Golfers included Hye Hyun
Kang's 56, Madeline Walton's 60, and Destine Fuchs 66. Destine is a beginning
golfer so that is a great score for her just starting out the season. Hye Hyun
is new to the team this year, so competition makes her work even harder.
The team is young with 3 freshmen, 2 Juniors and 2 seniors. We have many
"new to the game" players that will take a bit to work out the kinks. We are
already showing an improvement in our games but there is still work to be done.
Our ultimate goal is to finish 3rd or 4th in the conference and make it to
Sectionals. That is an obtainable goal for the girls and I think if they work
hard, they can achieve it. (Coach Wilke) |
(Aug 25) Whitewater Girls
Tennis Triangular The Whippet Girls' Tennis Team was back in action at
home Monday. Coach Nelson was a little worried how the girls would play after
the long weekend at Altoona, but all came out playing quite well .

Coach Nelson mentioned, "Things were a little messed up
today as we had one of our varsity players back who had been gone all last
week, so we were experimenting with our line up a little and Burlington
Catholic Central was short a couple of kids, so not everyone was able to get
their two matches in. I was really happy with Tessa, she really had a good day
after facing some very stiff competition over the weekend and she made a nice
turn around today."
The team's next meet is a varsity and JV dual meet
at home on Friday against Mauston starting at 9 am.
TheJV team will be
in action at home the next two mornings.
