Whitewater had to hit the road for their first game, and unfortunately, the road hit them back. They were given a punishing 7-56 loss at the hands of Turner. If Whitewater were hoping for some payback for the 13-49 loss against Turner the last time the two teams met, then they were disappointed. This was the first contest for both squads, starting Whitewater off on the wrong foot at 0 – 1, while giving Turner a 1-0 record.
Next week, Whitewater takes on East Troy at 7:00 PM.

In the spring of 2003, the doors to the Rock River Free Clinic (RRFC) opened for the first time. It was a 100 percent volunteer effort and was open one evening each week for 3 hours. Today, through the support of Fort Healthcare, Jefferson County, United Way of Jefferson and North Walworth Counties, Tomorrow’s Hope and numerous generous individuals and service organizations, the RRFC is now a full-time operation seeing patients every weekday. During the past 15 years, the RRFC has provided almost 30,000 medical office visits, helping countless members of our community.
In order to celebrate this important milestone, the RRFC Board of Directors invites all community members to a “make your own ice-cream sundae” event on Thursday, August 23 from noon – 2:30 pm at the Clinic (1541 Annex Road in Jefferson). There will be live music by local musician, Bill Hand, and a number of door prizes including a grand prize of a catered meal for up to 6 people. Please plan to attend and spread the word to your family, friends, and co-workers.
“The quality of life in our community is most definitely improved because we are able to help our friends, families, and neighbors without health insurance get the medical care they need”, shares Kristin Wallace, Executive Director of the RRFC. “The RRFC has filled an important gap in our healthcare delivery system for the past 15 years and this is reason to celebrate!”
The RRFC is a primary care clinic that operates out of the Jefferson County Health Department facility Monday through Friday. Clinic services are free of charge for clients who live in Jefferson County, Whitewater, and Cambridge and who do not have health insurance. If you have any questions about the RRFC or would like additional information, please contact Wallace at RRFCDirector@jeffersoncountywi.gov or call the clinic at (920) 674-7442.
On August 14, the Whitewater Lions, along with 27-A1 District Governor Sharon Eberhardt, had the honor of presenting the Melvin Jones Fellowship award to Lion Julian Stinson. Melvin Jones was the founder of the Lions and the award bearing his name is the most prestigious award any Lion could hope to receive.
Julian joined the Lions Club in 1990 in New Jersey, later joining the Whitewater Lions in 2002. He has served as Whitewater’s Lion President three times over the years. During that time, he advocated for inviting women to join the Whitewater Lions Club and the club now has several women members. He has been very active in fundraising and researching how to make our events more efficient. It was Julian that came up with the famous steak sandwich that is served at the 4th of July Festival in Whitewater and the Antique Flea Market in Elkhorn.
Julian has visited the Mandeville, Jamaica Lions Club and worked on a school painting project with the Whitewater Lions’ sister club in Jamaica, bringing several UW-Whitewater students with him. He and the students brought much-needed school supplies for the children in the area.
Julian has been one of the Whitewater Lions’ most active members, attending meetings and fundraising events as well as serving as Lion President for all those years. The Whitewater Lions Club congratulates Julian on this incredible honor and thanks him for his many years of service and dedication.
The Whitewater Lions meet every second and fourth Tuesday of the month. There is a social hour starting at 6:00 pm and the meetings start at 7:00 pm.

For 26 years, the University Center at the UW-Whitewater has had a tradition of hosting “Summer on the Mall” events. Held each June, July, and August, these events are fun pace changers to the UW-W faculty, staff, students, and community members, with a delicious themed menu, art activities, games, prizes, philanthropic causes, and the sound of entertainment that filled the air.
“This was my first time experiencing Summer on the Mall,” says Rosie Sheets, an Administrative Assistant at the UC. “It was very exciting, especially since it was a fun change from our normal routine.”
Each “Summer on the Mall” has a unique theme. For June, attendees showed off their spirit for Whitewater by dressing in purple to reflect their “Purple Pride.” July’s theme went more wild with “Safari at the UC,” with jungle leaves and exotic animals decorating the UC’s north mall. And finally, August’s event chose a groovy direction for its “Back to the 80’s” theme, reflecting the event’s date of 8/8/18!
Complementing the themes are various games and activities for each event. A Warhawk Plinko Board & Purple Pond Duck game matched the purple spirit of June’s event, a Safari Splash Dunk Tank attracted most of the attention for July’s “Safari at the UC,” and an “Escape the 80’s” Escape Room made a fun and unique challenge for August’s event. Many games and activities allowed the players to win a prize, with many of the prizes being donations from local businesses.
The action-packed events each had a philanthropic cause as well. All proceeds received from the games and as donations went to various organizations, including the UW-Whitewater Campus Food Pantry, the Warhawk Emergency Fund, the Whitewater Food Pantry, the Whitewater Unified School District Family Emergency Fund, and the Whitewater Bethel House. Together, the June, July, and August “Summer on the Malls” raised over $1,500 for these organizations.
“What’s great about Summer on the Mall is that it’s a community-based event,” says Ben Matthews, a UC Human Resources Intern. “You don’t just have employees attend. People from the town all come to enjoy the festivities and have fun. There’s a real sense of community with these events.”
“Summer on the Mall” is an annual event that the UC team looks forward to planning for the 27th year in 2019. For more information or to get connected as a philanthropic organization, contact Kim Adams at adamsk@uww.edu.

From Mike Lovenberg:
On behalf of the entire Whitewater High School staff, I would like to welcome you to Whitewater High School! We are looking forward to a great 2018-2019 school year. At WWHS, the first day of school on Tuesday, September 4, 2018, will be only for ninth grade students. This will be a full day of school (7:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.) with the purpose of easing the transition into Whitewater High School. Lead Dogs (Student Leaders) will help in creating a positive first day for our new students. We want the first day of high school to be enjoyable, allow students the opportunity to get to know the building layout, understand the services offered and the expectations for graduation, and fully understand the lunch system at WWHS.
Looking forward to a great year!
